The trip to Germany did not go well, and Lygin wanted to use the Berlin Wall incident to provoke contradictions between the German people and the Soviet Union and divert their attention, but he did not expect that the Soviets really dared to open the passage of the Berlin Wall and let the two sides communicate with each other, and the people of West Germany were more willing to stay in East Berlin!

Compared to the rise in daily necessities caused by high oil prices in West Germany, and the social security problems caused by refugees from the Middle East, East Germany is simply paradise! Moreover, the developed electronic technology of East Germany is also incomparable with West Germany! Now, all over Europe, the news is spreading that East Germany is a paradise on earth! This is absolutely detrimental to the entire Western world!

And with the opening of the channel, East Germany's electronic products have blossomed all over Western Europe, and countless people have flocked to East Germany, and even become two dealers, and the top priority in front of West Germany is how to impose tariffs on these cheap electronic products from Eastern Europe to protect their own electronics industry!

When the electronics of the Americans arrived in Western Europe, they could not compete with the electronics of the East Germany! Moreover, because many electronic products have been patented, the United States cannot imitate them, and the Soviet Union does not care about patents, but the United States still wants to face it, or it will not be able to mix it up in the Western world.

Reagan did not stay much in Germany, because his card was played extremely stinky, and the top brass in West Germany were already full of disgust with Reagan's trip. However, Reagan still achieved his goal, after all, Germany was a defeated country, and it needed to act according to the face of the United States, and under the pressure of the United States, Germany could not express its opposition.

On the other hand, it is also because of Reagan's promise to export more shale oil to Germany, and Germany buys shale oil from the United States, so it must be paid for in dollars, right? This can be regarded as avoiding the impact of paying in marks.

Next, Reagan went to Paris, but the negotiations with France did not go well.

At that time, with the help of the United States, France was able to recover, and with the assistance of the Marshall Plan, France was considered to have restored its economic strength, but the Gauls were the most immoral, and when France recovered, they began to rebel against the United States, which in the eyes of the French seemed to be riding on top of their heads, which was unacceptable to the arrogant French.

In particular, since Charles de Gaulle returned to power in 1958, he has pursued the "Gaullist Doctrine" with the pursuit of independence and the status of a great power as the core. Therefore, France could not accept the constraints of the United States, and wanted to change the pattern of NATO dominated by the United States and establish a three-country command structure of the United States, France, and Britain. So, in March '59, France declared that the Mediterranean Fleet was not under the command of NATO; In June, France refused to allow the United States to plant nuclear weapons in France and forced the United States to withdraw its nuclear bombs and bombers carrying nuclear weapons in France. In 62, France exploded its first atomic bomb. In 63, France declared that the Atlantic Fleet was not under NATO command. In 64, France recalled all French officers who served in the NATO naval command. On July 1, 66, France withdrew from NATO's military integration body; In October, France withdrew from the NATO Military Council. NATO headquarters moved from Paris to Brussels.

The French are mavericks, and in all of Europe, France is the proudest. Especially now, the United States is suffering defeat after defeat in international strategy, and its influence has greatly declined.

Therefore, Reagan stayed in Paris for three days and did not reach any intentions, for France, settling oil in francs is just enough to increase France's international influence and weaken the hegemony of the dollar, France is asking for it, how can it bow its head under the threat of the United States!

Reagan, who had a gray nose in Paris, took a special plane again and came to London.

The person in charge of Britain is the famous Iron Lady of the West, Margaret Hilda Thatcher.

The first female prime minister of the United Kingdom, a famous right-wing politician in the United Kingdom, has been the 49th Prime Minister of the United Kingdom since 79. Before she came to power, she hated the Soviet Union, and after coming to power, she was even more emboldened and high-profile against GCISM, and before becoming prime minister, she used to criticize the Soviet Union, "When we put everything in front of the cannon, they put the cannon in front of the butter." This sentence is to satirize the Soviet Union's reckless military and disregard for people's livelihood, and in response, the Soviet Union's "Red Star" called her the "Iron Lady", and as a result, the Iron Lady still likes this title very much and has been used it ever since.

In addition to her hatred of GCISM, after the Iron Lady came to power, she began a new governing philosophy, and she believed in the theory of monetarism, mainly privatization. At the beginning of 79, as soon as the Iron Lady came to power, the British government sold 19% of the shares of BP, a famous monopoly state-owned enterprise, to kick off the privatization of the Thatcher era. Subsequently, more than 1 million public housing units were sold directly to private individuals at discounted prices.

And by the time Margaret Thatcher came to power for the second time, in '84, her privatization was even more liberal and ******** on a large scale. Shares in monopolies such as British Telecom, Aerospace, Gas, Steel, and Water were sold to the public, and even the Royal Ordnance Company was sold to the privatized Aerospace Company.

Privatization has revitalized these state-owned enterprises, which were on the verge of bankruptcy, and Thatcher believes that her ideas are correct. She controlled the currency, cut welfare spending, and cracked down on union power. is also ruthless to the country.,Full of the role of the Iron Lady.。

Of course, any British ruler comes to power, an inevitable result, is to maintain friendship with the United States, since the decline of the empire in World War II, Britain must rely on the United States, in order to maintain the status of a great power, therefore, Britain since World War II, has become a follower of the United States, the relationship between the two countries, good enough to wear a pair of pants.

Britain's nuclear weapons do not need to be developed at all, the United States directly gave them, and Britain's various technologies were also directly shared with the United States, for example, the Chobham armor that Britain painstakingly researched was only given to the United States.

And now, the atmosphere of Reagan's meeting with the Iron Lady was quite friendly, and it was not at all as oppressive as in France.

"We also do not approve of the Soviet Union's plan to use other currencies to settle oil in conjunction with Middle Eastern countries, and we believe that only the US dollar can play the role of a world currency, so our British oil exports will not accept other currencies, but only US dollars." The Iron Lady said to Reagan.

Unlike France and Germany, Britain is a pure oil exporter! The high production of oil fields in the North Sea has long allowed Britain to start exporting oil! At the same time, the current high international oil prices have greatly reversed the economic situation in Britain, and now that the whole of Western Europe is in mourning, the oil-producing countries along the North Sea coast are making a lot of money. Out of friendship, sell to other countries at a cheap price? No one is a fool, between countries and countries, only interests are the most important!

Therefore, the current situation in Britain is not bad, except for those refugees in the country who are a little difficult to manage, and the economy is still very rich.

Moreover, why does Britain collect pounds when it exports oil? It's better to spend the pound! Only oil-importing countries want to settle oil in their own currency, how can exporting countries do such stupid things! So, of course, Britain is strongly supporting the dollar to settle oil.

Thinking of the situation in Germany and France, Reagan couldn't help but sigh, it seems that it is better to be British, after all, it is a friendship established during World War II!

"Thank you very much for the support of the UK." Reagan raised his glass and said to Margaret Thatcher, "Madam, then we'll do this." ”

Reagan came to the United Kingdom, which was the most comfortable, and then, it was time to discuss with Britain how to continue to increase oil production and suppress those oil-producing countries in the Middle East, but at this moment, I saw Defense Secretary John Knott walk in with a serious face and said to Margaret Thatcher: "Madam, no, our Falkland Islands are occupied by the Argentines!"
