If Yang Weiping had not had the experience of his previous life, and had replaced anyone else, he might have thought that the British Iron Lady really wanted to ease the tension in Europe, improve the international pattern of the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union, and show favor to the Soviet Union.

I have to say that Margaret Thatcher's idea really hit the weakness of the Soviet Union.

For the reformers in the Soviet Union, strengthening dialogue with Western countries and bringing in the abundant capital of developed countries to promote the reform of the Soviet Union's economic system are what they want most to see.

With the precedent of China's reform and opening up, the reformers in the Soviet Union firmly believed that what China could do, the Soviet Union would certainly be able to do, and it would be able to do better.

Yang Weiping could even foresee that if the reformers in the Soviet Union were to learn of British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher's idea, they would see it as a godsend to extend the influence of the Soviet Union into the capitalist countries of Europe.

It is important to know that laying oil and gas pipelines is not only about erecting pipelines, but also about the topographic exploration, planning along the line, construction of supporting facilities and so on, and it is necessary to have a comprehensive understanding of the area where the construction is located.

Economic and political influences aside, from a military point of view, this is tantamount to opening the doors of the European capitalist countries to the Soviet Union within their borders.

No matter how meticulous Andropov's thinking was, he would never have thought of the huge murderous motive hidden behind this idea.

Yang Weiping secretly sighed in his heart the great wisdom of the Iron Lady, but he pretended to be very surprised and surprised, and asked happily: "Madam, I heard me right, right? What did you just mean that the British government intends to let the Soviet Union cooperate with NATO member countries for a long time and import oil and gas from the Soviet Union?"

"Yes. Margaret Thatcher sighed and said, "You are right, we all have to learn to look at things through the lens of development." The world is changing too fast, and if we still use ideology to draw the line, our thinking is indeed too narrow.

In order to fully recover from the economic depression in Europe, the construction of large-scale infrastructure projects will at least greatly alleviate the unemployment rate in European countries. Oil and gas have always been the economic shortcomings of European countries, and this aspect was the strongest point of the Soviet Union.

If you can cooperate with the Soviet Union. The introduction of oil and gas pipelines from the territory of the Soviet Union to European countries was, in the words of Sir Young often said, a win-win situation, or even a win-win situation. Putting aside the economic aspect, this will certainly be an epoch-making milestone in easing the sharp confrontation between the red and blue camps. ”

"Whatever is conducive to easing the polarization and confrontation of the world, and to promoting the prosperity of world peace, stability and prosperity, we have the responsibility to do so!" Yang Weiping replied positively to Margaret Thatcher with the phrase "two whatevers": "With the rapid development of modern science and technology and the economy. It is an inevitable trend that the world is developing in a multipolar world.

Cooperation in the economic field, complementing each other's advantages, promoting economic globalization in a balanced, mutually beneficial, and accommodating mutual interests, and establishing a fair, open, reasonable, and non-discriminatory international trade system will inevitably promote the prosperity of the world and stability.

I am very pleased with Madame's suggestion, and at the same time, I feel a deep sense of responsibility. With my good relations with the Soviet leadership, I acted as an intermediary in this epoch-making grand project. Personally, I think it's still competent. It is only a matter of whether this plan can be finally realized. It also depends on the decision of the highest decision-making level of the Soviet Union. Although this plan is very much in line with the guidelines and principles of the East Soviet Joint Statement on energy strategic cooperation at the macro level, I can only assure my wife that I will do my best to make this happen!"

Of course, Yang Weiping will not say it to death now. When he said this, he wanted to make the Iron Lady feel that he was enthusiastic about the plan, and he had to leave room for himself.

As the saying goes, friends of the dead don't die and don't die, no matter what the final outcome of this plan is. Anyway, OUCC will definitely be able to reap a lot of rewards in this huge cake.

Mrs. Thatcher said quietly: "With the means and skills of Your Excellency, I am sure that you will be able to bring me the good news I want to hear." ”

Yang Weiping didn't care about the Iron Lady who had always used the title of Sir instead of the head of state of the Eastern Union Union.

Yang Weiping knew it very well in his heart. This was Margaret Thatcher's desire to take advantage of the friendly personal relationship that had long been established between her and him, to play the emotional card, and to strive for as much as possible a point or face that was favorable to Britain.

Speaking from the bottom of my heart, since Margaret Thatcher took the throne as British Prime Minister, the British royal family and government have always maintained a very friendly relationship with Yang Weiping and his Tiangong Group, whether in China or Northern Burma.

Whether it is in the construction of the South Asian railway, or in the construction of the North Myanmar high-speed railway, the North Myanmar steam turbine manufacturing, automobile and spare parts manufacturing, aero engine manufacturing and other fields, British companies have deep and extensive cooperation with the North Burma government and enterprises.

One of the most representative is Rolls-Royce.

Tiangong Group's technological leadership in the field of aero engines has always been recognized by countries around the world. In order to ensure the sustainable development of this advantage, Yang Weiping has never cherished himself, but has carried out extensive cooperation with aviation power manufacturing companies in various countries.

World-renowned aviation power manufacturing enterprises such as GM and Pratt & Whitney in the United States, Rolls-Royce in the United Kingdom, Slacma in France, Rurika in the Soviet Union, and MTU in Germany have all established joint ventures with Tiangong Aero Engine Research Center.

It is precisely because Yang Weiping has the advantage of foresight in the field of technology, embraces all rivers, and is the best of all families, that GM and Pratt & Whitney have been catching up over the years, but they can't catch up.

Since the establishment of the cooperative relationship between Rolls-Royce and Yang Weiping, it has changed the previous loss situation caused by the development of the three-rotor RB211 engine, and has successively made breakthroughs in the fields of gas turbines, turbofan engines, turboshaft engines and automobile engines, completely changing the fate of being acquired by BMW in history.

Naturally, the Rolls-Royce brand is also authorized by Rolls-Royce to be used by Tiangong Automobile Manufacturing Group. It makes Tiangong-Rolls-Royce an upstart among the world's top luxury cars. It has played a great role in promoting the brand influence of Tiangong Automobile in the world automobile market.

Of course, maintaining friendly and cooperative relations with British private capital did not prevent Yang Weiping from secretly stabbing the British Empire in the Anglo-Argentine War.

In this regard, Margaret Thatcher also has a "love and hate" relationship with Sir Yang.

The British economy was originally able to quickly survive the economic depression due to the cooperation with Sir Young, but due to the Falklands War, the British government was burdened with a heavy burden of foreign debt.

Northern Burma, controlled by Sir Young, was one of the largest creditors of the British Empire.

Therefore, there are many reasons why Margaret Thatcher did not wear the same pants as the US government on the Kra Canal issue.

Now Sir Yang has become the head of state of the Eastern Union of Eastern Union, and has also reached a deep strategic cooperation alliance with the Soviet Union, which has established the decisive position of the Eastern Union in the international political arena in one fell swoop, which makes Margaret Thatcher can only seek what countermeasures to take, and use the Eastern Union to calculate the Soviet Union.

Allowing the Soviet Union to plan and build oil and gas pipelines in European countries was a trick and a ploy by Margaret Thatcher and Reagan to plot against the Soviet Union. Previously, the Iron Lady was still racking her brains about how to talk to Andropov. And the release of the joint statement of the East and the Soviet Union undoubtedly made Margaret Thatcher see this best candidate.

At this moment, hearing Sir Yang full of promises, Mrs. Thatcher was of course very happy.

Yang Weiping didn't have to guess to know that the Iron Lady who was far away in England must be smug at this time.

Let him communicate with Andropov will certainly save Margaret Thatcher and President Reagan a lot of trouble.

It's just that, of course, this favor can't be in vain.

After a little muttering, Yang Weiping said into the phone in a rather solemn tone: "Madam, I can match you with the Soviet leaders, but there is a small matter, and I have to ask Madame for help." ”

"What's the matter?" said Thatcher's tone, with a distinctly wary tinge of wariness.

"Madame also knows that making the world develop multipolar is my unremitting pursuit. Yang Weiping said in a slow tone: "The rise of Oriental Union in Asia is unstoppable. The ASEAN organization will be the biggest obstacle to the Kra Canal project. Therefore, I decided to set up a Mandalay Cooperative to contribute to the peaceful prosperity of the Asia-Pacific region. ”

"What kind of organization is the Mandalay Cooperative, and what countries are its members?" asked Margaret Thatcher intently.

Yang Weiping replied without hesitation: "The Mandalay Cooperation Organization takes the 'Mandalay Spirit' as the basic content of 'mutual trust, mutual benefit, equality, consultation, respect for multiple civilizations, and seeking common development' as the principle of mutual relations, as well as the principles of non-alignment, non-targeting of other countries and regions, and opening up to the outside world.

The purpose of the Mandalay Cooperation Organization is to strengthen mutual trust and good-neighborliness among the member states, encourage effective cooperation among the member states in the fields of politics, economy and trade, science and technology, culture, education, energy, transportation, environmental protection and other fields, work together to maintain and guarantee regional peace, security and stability, and establish a democratic, just and rational new international political and economic order in Asia.

The Mandalay Cooperation Organization holds an annual official meeting of the heads of state of the member countries, and regular meetings of the heads of government are held in the member states on a rotational basis. I plan that the member countries of this organization include the Eastern Union of Eastern Union, China, Thailand, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Cambodia, Laos, and Sri Lanka. ”

"No Soviet Union?" asked Margaret Thatcher, visibly surprised.

"Hehe, I'm afraid that customers will bully the store. Yang Weiping smiled indifferently: "Otherwise, this cooperative organization will not be called Mandalay, but will become Moscow." (To be continued......)
