Chapter 1,722 There is no day in the sky

The special relationship sometimes exists and sometimes does not. It exists when the United States needs the United Kingdom to defend itself, or when the United Kingdom needs to deceive the United States. Fortunately, the latter still exists, but if the Soviet Union disappears, it will not matter whether the latter exists.

That’s for sure.

Given that Britain is currently about one-third as powerful as the United States, it is still difficult to face the United States.

Unless the Soviet Union before the 1960s could gather national strength to fight, it is obvious that the Soviet Union could do this, but a social environment similar to the United Kingdom and the United States could not.

Moreover, the current Soviet Union may not necessarily be able to do so. If we first eliminate the possibility of the Soviet Union acting as a shield, and consider whether the United Kingdom or France can withstand the hostility of the United States, we must make careful calculations.

In terms of military strength comparison, the United Kingdom has 595,000 troops nationwide. France has stationed troops in North Africa for a long time to prevent the separation of the North African territories, so its total military strength is slightly more. The French army, navy and air force have 700,000 troops.

But because France has to take care of the land, sea and air forces, and takes an independent route, not to mention that its foundation is worse than that of the UK, France's armaments will lag slightly behind.

To put it simply, France’s navy and air force are not as good as those of the United Kingdom, and its army is not as good as Germany’s. Currently, France’s main aircraft model is the Mirage 2000 fighter jet. There is no sign of the Rafale, only that it is under study. As for the four aircraft carriers of the French Navy, two are still

Sold by Britain to France.

From a military comparison point of view, even if Britain and France are combined, the total military strength is 1.3 million, while the United States has an active force of 2 million. Together, Britain and France have more than 60% of the military strength of the United States.

In terms of total population, the British mainland is 59 million, and France is 58.5 million. The population of the two countries is roughly the same, ranging from one-fifth less than the British to the population of the two countries is roughly the same. The French

The population gap between Britain and France has finally been smoothed, but how does it compare with the United States? The United States has a population of 250 million.

Of course, this number only counts the mainland. If France’s North African territories are included, France’s population is 70 million, and there are more than 10 million French people in North Africa and locals who are willing to be French. The UK will be more optimistic in this regard, if

Not counting Malaya's 24 million people, as well as Hong Kong, Rhodesia and Newfoundland, there are not many people. The British currently control a population of nearly 90 million.

In this way, the comparison between Britain, France and the United States, 1.6 billion to 250 million, seems to be relatively good in comparison. It is not a one-sided comparison, at least it seems to be somewhat balanced.

With a basic idea in mind, Alan Wilson went to No. 10 Downing Street, preparing to inform Mrs. Thatcher about the first-hand news he heard from Field Marshal Mountbatten. Maybe at this year's summit, US President Bush will announce

The great free world won the Cold War.

"The United States wants to declare victory in the Cold War and end the Cold War?" Mrs. Thatcher was stunned, and then asked in confusion, "Does this mean that the Soviet Union will be spared?"

"What should we do? The Soviet Union has loosened its control over Eastern Europe. And thanks to Mr. Tutou, the outstanding leader you admire very much, everyone can see and understand the situation in the Soviet Union."

Alan Wilson replied expressionlessly, "How about we consider talking to the map leader? Telling the United States is just an extra sigh of relief. This round of prosperity was created by printing money. In fact, Bush cannot ask Reagan

Like a fool, another three trillion in national debt."

Mrs. Thatcher shook her head. She felt that this man was beating her around the bush, because essentially her reforms were the same as those of Reagan, except that the United States increased debt, while the United Kingdom, in addition to increasing debt, could also cash out state-owned enterprises.

.The economic growth of the United States is indeed incomparable to that of the Reagan period.

"As for the army, even if it reduces its army by 500,000, it is obvious that the Soviet Union still has more than 4 million armed forces." Mrs. Thatcher retorted unconvinced.

"Without money, no one can starve and work hard. Now is not the same as before. Map Head has destroyed the cohesion of the Soviet Union." Alan Wilson sneered, "You couldn't see it a few years ago, but no one can see it now.

The Soviet Union now truly no longer poses a threat."

The Soviet Union was able to hold its breath relying on the national system in the past, but the first Soviet President Mr. Mapou can also do it? Is that so?

Let alone him, it is not unheard of in the history of a big country. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, ethnic conflicts were very acute. In the Qing Dynasty, equal pay was not paid for equal work. Those who died in the Green Camp received less pensions than those who died in the Eight Banners. This is enough to prove national oppression.

, this is simply unreasonable.

How serious has this become? It's so serious that ordinary soldiers in the Green Camp of the Qing Army were only given thirty taels of silver if they died in battle. In the Ming Dynasty, every soldier killed in battle was only given ten taels of silver. That's a lot of money, and it was all given to the big soldiers.

What a sin.

The great powers all missed the Qing Dynasty, so much so that the level of the great powers was not as good as the Qing Dynasty. The Qing Dynasty abolished the green battalions and gave them severance pay, and also kept an eye on them so that they would not be corrupted by local officials.

With a stroke of his pen, Tutou laid off the elites who were placed in Eastern Europe after returning to their countries. Fortunately, Tutou turned out to be the leader of the Soviet Union, a country that emphasized class, and did not know that class coverage was wider than nation.

When a country that emphasizes class suddenly becomes a typical example of reverse operation, don't blame the Khitans for adopting national narratives and poaching Tutou's corner. It was Tutou who abolished martial arts on his own.

Mrs. Thatcher was silent, and Alan Wilson lowered his voice and whispered, "Dear Prime Minister, think about it, think about it carefully, the United States no longer believes that the Soviet Union poses a threat, and if it is put aside, who will it be targeting?

What? After all, the mainland of the Soviet Union is connected together. Unlike some countries, due to historical reasons, the connection between the mainland and overseas territories may be inherently problematic. In fact, such a country is relatively fragile and is a good target.

."

Mrs. Thatcher was startled, "If there are no enemies, the United States will disarm. What else can it do? Is it going to attack Britain or France and treat us as imaginary enemies?"

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "It's just a possibility, not mixed with any personal bias." Alan Wilson explained unhurriedly, "Anyway, I am still the leader of Washington and will not let go of potential

enemies."

This is completely true. If he wants to have the national power of the United States, not to mention that he cannot let go of Britain and France, he will also completely overthrow China and the Soviet Union, and then step on ten thousand feet so that he will never be able to stand up again.

This is completely reasonable and reasonable. The United States wants to rule the world until the earth is destroyed. Let alone the ability to challenge the United States, any idea is an original sin. It must be quartered and executed at an early date.

"I think this possibility exists. Otherwise, do you expect the Pentagon to watch the balance of the world? Have your own budget cut?"

Thinking along this line of thought online, Mrs. Thatcher had to pay attention to it. Naturally, Alan Wilson took out various data comparisons that he had thought about before. The United Kingdom is at best a little more than one-third of the United States.

The native population is less than one-third.

Even if France is added together, and the territories of the two countries are added together, it is less than 70% of the United States.

But fortunately, this 70% is very real. It is not Japan during World War II. Only the navy is 70% of the U.S. Navy, and the data in other aspects are only a fraction of the United States. How dare you claim that 70% of the strength can be achieved?

war.

Looking at it this way, Alan Wilson's many years of work are still very effective. At the end of the Cold War, not to mention Britain and France, which was 70%, even the Soviet Union could not reach 70%. Together, it only accounted for 40% of the national strength of the United States.

Therefore, the United States really wants to kill the donkey. It is not that the United Kingdom cannot resist. Of course, it must ensure the unity of Britain and France. If it jumps out alone, it is sending food to the United States.

At this point, Alan Wilson has finished talking about the option of bombing Warsaw, and then he can talk about the most optimistic situation. However, with the map, this situation may not be very optimistic.

Now that it is possible for the United States to end the Cold War, the United Kingdom should play a strong obstructive role and squeeze out the last bit of value of the Soviet threat theory. What if it is useful? Although history has proven that it is really useless. The United States has already

Determined to claim victory.

Saying it now is just to calm down Mrs. Thatcher, "We must make two preparations. On the one hand, we must be wary that the United States is determined to end the Cold War and adopt a hostile attitude towards Britain. We must improve relations with France and join forces this time."

Dealing with Germany is an opportunity. As for the optimistic situation, we still hope that the Cold War will not end and the United States can concentrate its attention on the Soviet Union. We always have to be more optimistic. The difficulty is that the ability of Map Head is really almost non-existent. It turns out that this

It may be an advantage, but in the face of the changing world situation, this is a disadvantage."

Optimistic assumptions are not so optimistic, and pessimistic predictions are really pessimistic. "The Prime Minister has always managed the special relationship between Britain and the United States. I hope that the Prime Minister can save the most important relationship between Britain and the United States? At least the top three foreign relations, except for the Commonwealth and the European Communist Party."

Outside the body."

"Oh, the Cabinet Secretary is so wise." Mrs. Thatcher replied eccentrically. She is now enthusiastic about the special relationship between Britain and the United States, but her eccentricity cannot change the turbulent future.

Mrs. Thatcher had made up her mind not to let the Cold War end just like this, but to firmly attract the attention of the United States to the Soviet Union. This is the current diplomatic focus of the United Kingdom.

Alan Wilson certainly knows that there is a high probability of failure. There is no special reason, because it has failed in history, and the probability of failure is even greater now.

At the same time that Mrs. Thatcher was adjusting her foreign policy, at the same time as Tutou took office as President of the Soviet Union, the Khitan, who had just become the President of Russia, began his first visit to the United Kingdom.

Mrs. Thatcher received this man who could be said to be a rising star in Soviet politics. From the first secretary of the Moscow Municipal Party Committee who was driven away with just one sentence, to the current president of Russia, he has the same status as the head of the map in some respects. Mrs. Thatcher said

It is hoped that the Khitans will assist Tutou and stabilize the political situation of the Soviet Union.
