Big Time 1958

Chapter 800: Mrs Thatcher came to power

"Before this, we have to buy as much time as possible. I'm not too worried about Iraq. The current Afghan government is not very well-established, so the focus of work is in Afghanistan." Shelov pondered, "I have already sent a good one. In the past, it should not be a problem. The main reason is that the work of military assistance must be accelerated, and the strength of the current Afghan government forces can be improved so that they can withstand risks.”

  The problem of preventing the spread of the civil war in Iran. If it is done well, Iran will be a black hole that absorbs all the extremists near the Middle East. If it is not done well, it will cause the proliferation of these religious elements on the contrary. There is absolutely nothing wrong with being cautious, there should be a super department look.

  At the beginning, US President Truman issued an ultimatum to the Soviet Union, requesting that the Soviet army must evacuate Iran before the May 1st Labor Day in 1946, or take pride in it. Some American media even clamored for 300 atomic bombs to level the Soviet Union. "Faced with the nuclear threat from the United States, the Soviet Union was forced to back down without the atomic bomb. All Soviet troops withdrew from Iran. After that, Iran has been the United States' ally in West Asia.

   "The Soviet Union can't get it, and it can't be given to the United States. I won't give it to you if it's broken. I'll see what you do." This is not a commercial competition, and there is no win-win situation. Especially when the USSR was geographically more advantageous than the US.

   On the surface, Serov chose a lose-lose plan, but in fact, the plan that is purely beneficial to the Soviet Union has almost no success rate. In this way, it is easier for the United States to accept that it will not jump over the wall. At the same time, the United States and the Soviet Union will join hands to prevent other countries from interfering.

   This kind of selfish unspoken rule has always existed, and both the United States and the Soviet Union naturally want to be the final victor. But it will not allow other countries to take advantage of the conflict between the two countries to profit from it. The last one who was going to do this has already led the Soviet Union. I believe that South Africa is definitely not very willing to be unlucky now. If another unlucky person appears, those Boers will definitely be very happy.

  After the meeting, Serov returned to his office with a hollowed-out body, but he still didn't have a rest. There is no rest on the train, but unfortunately, it is not the time. And the Mendelev thing.

   Many years ago, Serov came up with a way when he was in India. This way can make India BUFF full of power to fight Pakistan, and avoid the disadvantage of public opinion. At least few countries will come to stop India. The only sequelae is that once it is exposed that Serov committed suicide and thanked the world, it will not necessarily restore the reputation loss of the Soviet Union.

  When Iran is in a turbulent time, this matter still has to be put aside first, or not done, and it must be the best to start doing it.

  If there is a mistake, only geniuses know what will happen, the greater the harvest, the greater the risk still exists here.

   Shelov's home, he and his wife Valya were watching TV, the ashtray in front of him was full of cigarette butts, and the TV was playing back the footage of Mrs Thatcher's victory over and over again. The nickname of this Iron Lady was reported by the Red Star of the Soviet Union because he once criticized the Soviet Union for putting artillery in the most important position.

   "What's the matter? This woman is troublesome?" I don't know how many times it was played back, Valia finally couldn't help but speak out, her husband cared too much for Mrs Thatcher. She doesn't think Shelov has anything with the other party. She still has a certain understanding of her husband's taste, which will never change. She just likes young and beautiful.

   Mrs Thatcher was very temperamental and pretty, but at this age it was no longer a threat.

   How does a British Prime Minister have a relationship with the Chairman of the KGB? I have to say that Valya's brain hole is not ordinary.

"This woman is against the Soviet Union, she will lead the United Kingdom and the Soviet Union to fight against the Soviet Union." Shelov stood up to empty the ashtray, and returned after a while with an empty ashtray, "Women are the leaders of the country, generally a little unreasonable. ." If it weren't for the opponent's Ge map, it is estimated that Mrs. Thatcher can only leave a bad name in history. It has to be said that after the disintegration of the Soviet Union, Mrs Thatcher used the fall of the Soviet Union to clear her own reputation.

   But this woman can only do this. The biggest winner in the disintegration of the Soviet Union is the United States, and the biggest economic beneficiary is Germany. The victory of the United Kingdom is limited to Mrs. Thatcher's memoirs.

   "Confrontation? Just this woman, just the UK?" Valia was surprised, and for the first time she began to seriously look at the new British Prime Minister on TV, as if she wanted to find something different on the other's face.

   Britain is no longer the empire on which the sun never sets. Not to mention the husband of the chairman of the KGB, even her wife in the Ministry of Education knows that the British military has shrunk to the point where light aircraft carriers are used as capital ships. The British Royal Navy can deal with ordinary countries, but it is not an opponent of the Soviet Red Navy. How can they fight in this situation?

   "Increasing military spending? If I remember correctly, the UK's current finances don't seem to be good?" Valya asked with her head tilted.

"Isn't it possible to cut benefits and start the public, outsourcing the industry to specialize in the financial industry, which reduces costs, and the financial industry is more profitable." Shelov smiled at his wife, showing his white teeth, "If the people are dissatisfied, they can The dissatisfied people will be resolved, of course temporary pain is inevitable."

   "According to what you said, the people are still in trouble?" Valiya asked in dissatisfaction, "Is it true that the British people are so conscious of their weakened welfare that they welcome them happily?"

Serov smiled and shook his head. What is incomprehensible? Although the Internet has already appeared, it is limited to a new field. The Soviet Union also started experiments through the implementation of cybernetics. No threat to traditional media for at least ten years. The right to speak is still in the hands of major newspapers, and it is a big deal to create news that the people across the country welcome the rise in oil prices.

   To say that there is something to be envied, that is, if you change a political party in the UK, you can cut off welfare without any scruples. There was only one Communist Party in the Soviet Union, and it was impossible to get rid of the culprit of cutting welfare. Even when the Soviet Union disintegrated, it did not cut off huge welfare expenditures.

"What's weird about this, Mrs Thatcher is not the leader of the Labour Party, she is the leader of the Conservative Party." Sheloff shrugged, "Even if she succeeds, she will hollow out Britain, which is bad for the Soviet Union in the long run. Good thing. The financial industry has little lethality to us, and it is impossible to live without the most basic industries.”

   Don't think that the financial industry does not exist in the Soviet bloc, but the financial industry of the entire Warsaw Pact countries is in one country. That is Greece with a market economy. Behind the stock market of a country in Greece is the support of 30% of the world's industries, that is, Eastern European countries plus the Soviet Union.

   This kind of power is all reflected in Greece as a country, so the life of Greece is not very good now. With so many countries in the Warsaw Pact, only Greece has a stock market. One country, Greece, is responsible for the entire Warsaw Pact's financial industry. It can be said that the Soviet Union wants to propose Greece to the Warsaw Pact, and Greece will smash the door open and come back, saying that it is a part of the Warsaw Pact.

  Because of the support of the entire Warsaw Pact, there is almost no risk of Greece being sheared. Whoever wants to shear Greece’s wool, the Warsaw’s about 100,000 tanks are not used for military parades, and the Greek government will definitely use national power to intervene.

   This kind of rogue means is used as a backup. Greece has a very high opinion of the Warsaw Pact. There is no stock market in the Warsaw Pact countries. You said that I am an Orthodox country and I was blind in the first place. I have to mix with US imperialism.

Although Margaret Thatcher and Reagan were troubles for the Soviet Union, they wanted to bring the Soviet Union under them again, but no matter who they were, they could not break all the rules, even at the fastest speed, they were the first two in office respectively. There will be no time to find trouble with the Soviet Union in 2010, but this time is too coincidental, it is exactly the time when Brezhnev died.

   It seems that since the 1980s, all the good fortunes of the Soviet Union have been used up. Contrary to the unfavorable situation in the 1970s, in the end, a person who wanted prestige but had no prestige, had no ability, and had almost nothing became the general secretary. Soon Mrs Thatcher promulgated a policy program. She believed in the theory of monetarism and carried out drastic reforms after she came to power. She mainly took four measures, one is privatization, the second is to control the currency, the third is to cut welfare expenditures, and the fourth is to crack down on labor unions. She implemented austerity policies to reduce inflation.

   In response to this British female prime minister, the Soviet Union began to evaluate Margaret Thatcher's policies. Hope to find a countermeasure for this woman who was very dissatisfied with the Soviet Union. At this time, the Soviet Union needed a little spiritual strength. This spiritual strength was in Lubyanka, and Serov was not qualified to trouble the Soviet Union until he knew that Mrs. Thatcher could not handle the country. If you want to scold her, you have to take advantage of now...

"As far as this woman's policy is concerned, early business losses and unemployment will increase, but as long as the early losses are sustained, the UK will perform better for a period of time. But if you take 20 to 30 years as a cycle, the British industry will It will be ruined, and sooner or later it will decline even more than before her leadership." Sheloff knew that when Mrs Thatcher's seven-wound punches hit oneself first and then others, Britain would pay the price sooner or later. Included in GDP.

   "I may have doubts about what others say, but if it's what you said, I'll absolutely believe it." Andropov said happily. (To be continued~^~)
