After months of noisy and harsh condemnation, no one thought that the British Royal Navy could really send troops, although outsiders saw some tension between Britain and the Yugoslav Solution. Even Britain's most important ally, the United States, was taken aback by the British.

The Reagan administration immediately sent Vice President George H.W. Bush to London, hoping to stop this reckless and hasty action by the British. It was not that Reagan thought the British could not win, but that he thought it was a completely unnecessary battle. The United States has already received China's approval from the outset, and the newly formed Nanyang Republic will become a democracy with universal suffrage, and the CPC and the Red Power will not govern, at least not on the table. In addition, the U.S. military was allowed to use the military facilities here, and across the Gulf of Thailand was the Cam Ranh Bay military base of the Soviet Red Navy, which could be controlled, further hijacking the Soviet Union.

Even if it is considered that it is ugly for China to swallow Malaysia in such a way, at least it is not a complete annexation, and there is still a bright coat of national liberation and democratic freedom on the surface. The United States is not happy that China is eating a lot of fat this time, but the United States is unlikely to stop China from doing so.

The so-called Nanyang Republic will certainly be another second-level ally of the United States in Southeast Asia in the future, and strategic experts from all walks of life have analyzed it, and generally believe that the country with the Chinese as the main body established according to the nine states of Malaya will definitely have a relatively good development in the future, and if it can integrate Singapore, it can provide war potential and international support far better than the Philippines, a former colony that the United States cannot support.

Another factor that cannot be said is that the SARS's resistance to the Green Malays has won the sympathy and support of the Jewish people, and the Jews' political and economic power in the United States is quite large, so although there are voices in Congress and among the people to resist China's annexation of Malaysia to the south, the Jewish forces believe that the defeat of a Muslim country is an absolute victory and should be vigorously supported.

The direct manifestation is that in the recent fundraising activities for the Nanyang Chinese independence movement carried out by Qi Yiming through the Chinese Embassy in the United States, the most donated money was not the Chinese in the United States, but the Jewish ethnic group. The Morgan family, which has a good relationship with Qi Yiming, also donated $2 million.

All these factors are taken together, the United States does not express its acquiescence to the annexation of Malaysia by the South Liberation Army, and Britain recklessly sends a large fleet across two oceans to pursue the South Liberation Army.

George H.W. Bush came to London with the Reagan administration's hopes to turn the tide, but when he arrived, he realized that the task was by no means as easy as he imagined.

Mrs. Thatcher personally greeted Bush Sr. at the airport, but the expression of the political iron lady was extremely stiff, and Bush Sr., who felt that he should show a gentlemanly demeanor, wanted to say a few light-hearted jokes to her and adjust the atmosphere, but Mrs. Thatcher maintained a cold smirk and accompanied Bush Sr. through the entire welcoming process.

"This iron lady seems to have made up her mind to teach those Chinese who don't open their eyes!" Bush Sr. secretly wondered.

The courtesy car drove to the meeting place, and along the way, Bush Sr. saw many British people holding signs in support of Margaret Thatcher's expedition. Although Margaret Thatcher was a controversial political figure, during her reign, a part of the British public still had a high level of support for her. In particular, her decisive strike in the 1982 Falkland War won victory and honour for Britain and the recapture of the Falkland Islands. Her ruthless repression of the Northern Ireland Republican Army, coupled with a series of liberalized economic policies, enabled Britain to consolidate its international position in the second half of the twentieth century, when its national power was gradually declining.

Bush Sr. looked at the various protest slogans, basically did not talk too much about helping allies, or insisting on democracy and justice, but all eyes were "let the Oriental Yankees taste the power of the British" and "pull the Chinese's braids fiercely", well, yes, before the Internet era opened, many Westerners still thought that the Chinese were braided.

The elder Bush immediately asked the accompanying diplomats stationed in Britain: "Is such an opinion the mainstream in Britain?" ”

The embassy staff replied: "In the past few days, some mainstream media such as The Times and The Sun have done a lot of reports on the situation in Malaya, and they have reprinted a lot of humiliation and cynicism about Britain by the local media in the South Africa. Although many British people do not want to fight a war, the mainstream public opinion in Britain is very dissatisfied with the words and deeds of the Southern Liberation and believes that it needs to be punished. It was these conservatives and hawks who jumped the hardest, believing that Falkland could win and so could Malaya. ”

Bush Sr. sighed and said, "What's the use of fighting? The British did not have enough strength to carry out a landing operation, and the volunteers who continued to arrive from China were estimated to exceed 100,000 in a short time, and how many British army and marines spent in Malaya? More than a decade ago, we fought a confused Vietnam War, losing tens of thousands of outstanding young people, and even more so that the United States fell into passivity in the Cold War. Today, Britain is facing the Yugorape with the support of China, maybe the Chinese are not as brutal as the Vietnamese, but they have better weapons and more advanced concepts of war, and Britain does not have the national strength of our United States to independently fight against the Yugoslavia, and the China behind it. ”

The diplomat speculated: "Perhaps, as the British themselves say, they are here to punish and teach Yugoslavia and the Chinese rudeness." ”

Bush Sr. shook his head and said, "Where is Britain's strategic determination as an old power?" Listen to such words, in order to punish the opponent and take care of one's own face, spend hundreds of millions of pounds on thousands of miles, to fight a war without output, is there anything more stupid than that? ”

The diplomat couldn't help but say: "Outsiders can see it more clearly, when we first fought the Vietnam War, we must have thought that it was just a small war, and the war was over, and if there was a loss in the end, we would want to win more, and under the psychology of gamblers, the losses were getting more and more, and I hope that the British would not repeat such a story." ”

Bush Sr. said with a smile: "This is exactly what we came for, both sides are allies on the same front, and it is also a huge loss for our country to consume each other in order to save gas." ”

After sorting out his thoughts, the elder Bush took his attaché into Whitehall for a formal meeting with Margaret Thatcher. However, at the beginning of the meeting, Margaret Thatcher began to describe the traditional friendship between Britain and the United States in a very formulaic way, how healthy the diplomatic relations between the two sides have developed, how many achievements the Anglo-American alliance has made today, how much the amount of bilateral economic and trade exchanges has increased, and how many people have exchanged......

Bush Sr. immediately understood that their meeting time was limited, and that Thatcher was trying to squeeze the time they had to talk about troop contributions, similar to the lengthy speeches often used in Congress to block the passage of bills. In diplomatic etiquette, Bush Sr. could not directly interrupt Margaret Thatcher's conversation with other British officials.

"It's going to be a big problem."

As if listening to the scriptures, the elder Bush finally waited for Mrs. Thatcher to finish speaking, and then hurriedly got to the point, "Madam Prime Minister, regarding the situation in Malaysia, we believe that it is always better to strengthen communication and exchange and dialogue than military action. Although some of the actions of the Southern Liberation Settlement are inappropriate, they are not worth the fight for them. ”

Margaret Thatcher said with a cold face, still in very diplomatic terms: "The United Kingdom's position on the situation in Malaya and SADC is consistent and consistent, that is, SADC is an illegal rebel organization, a bad factor that endangers regional peace, and is the main culprit that harms an independent country, its territorial sovereignty and the security of its people. Any righteous nation in the world has the obligation to wipe such a dregs off the face of the earth. ”

The elder Bush was shocked when he heard this, and he was even more dissatisfied with Margaret Thatcher's insinuation of the injustice of the United States, and he hurriedly said: "Even so, Britain's allies should consider their military actions more carefully, because Britain's dispatch of troops is very likely to worsen the situation and escalate the situation. Britain and China are both important allies and partners of our country, and fighting each other can only make the Soviets laugh. ”

Margaret Thatcher's face was visibly angry, "The relationship between Britain and the United States has always been the most important diplomatic relationship of the United Kingdom, and the United States is also the most precious ally of the United Kingdom. The two countries should work together to fight for human democracy and freedom, China is an opportunistic red country, is the source of **** and dictatorship, the crisis in Malaya proves the bad nature of the communist country to export revolution, the United States should be more cautious about its foreign relations, China is not our friend of the free world, is our enemy! ”

The two sides are becoming more and more unable to get along, and the elder Bush is becoming more and more helpless. No matter how the United States moves with affection and reason, Mrs. Thatcher treats her with her own iron-faced conservatism that has no change, which makes Bush Sr. want to scold Mrs. Thatcher for being an idiot.

What ideology is only a layer of national interest after all, and can the megalomaniacs who live on these islands really push China over to the side of the Soviet Union because it is not a true Western-style democracy? Bush Sr. can negotiate with more stubborn people, but Bush Sr. thinks he can't negotiate with people with rusty heads because their IQ can't be used properly.

Leaving the conference room, the elder Bush instructed left and right: "Tell Washington that the mediation has failed, and be ready to think of measures to deal with the aftermath." ”
