Chapter 243 243 Armistice negotiations

All the luck psychology no longer exists, and after the Sino-Soviet conflict, the world has once again officially entered the brink of nuclear war. And unlike the last time, this time everything was put on the table, and China's successful nuclear missile test caused panic throughout the world. Considering China's nuclear weapons doctrine of a nuclear counterattack with no first use of nuclear weapons, now the ball is being kicked to the British again.

Malaysia, Hong Kong and Brunei are occupied, and your ultimatum is almost about to expire.

It is even more difficult for the United States to imagine how China suddenly had such a nuclear strike capability, nor can it imagine that things have evolved to this point. Originally, there may have been a mentality of waiting to see the development of the situation, and by the way, reaping the benefits of the fisherman, but at this juncture, Washington sent a large number of diplomats to Beijing and London, using various means such as persuasion, intimidation, and promises to defuse this crisis that should not have occurred.

Outside 10 Downing Street, thousands of demonstrators held signs and chanted slogans.

"Thatcher step down! Thatcher step down! ”

"England does not want war, England does not want to be attacked by nuclear weapons!"

The crowd outside the Prime Minister's residence was furious, and at the beginning of the war some people thought that Yugoslavia or China was not worth mentioning, and that there was a price to pay for daring to offend British Tianwei. But now, it turns out that the paper tiger is not China or Nanjie, but the aging Britain. Can glory and history be eaten as a meal? Now they're going to be hit by people's nuclear missiles on the mainland, what are you talking about?!

"The prime minister wants to come out and give everyone an explanation!" The organizers of the demonstration, holding up loudspeakers, kept shouting at 10 Downing Street. Rows of police stood outside, seemingly sympathetic to the demonstrators. No one wants war, especially when so many losses and injuries have been suffered, and even more likely to be destroyed, and the police also hate the woman in the mansion.

Perhaps infected by the emotions of the demonstrators, a couple of young policemen suddenly turned against each other, "Bastard female prime minister propping up private big business, trying to deprive us of the welfare of ordinary people, and now fighting for unrelated countries, flu England boys have the last drop of blood." Let's not be cannon fodder for this demon, let's not be destroyed by nuclear bombs, catch this witch and get England back on track! ”

Surprisingly, several young policemen actually broke through their own defenses and kicked open the front door of 10 Downing Street, while their colleagues did not react for a while, and more demonstrators were affected by the police's defection and their own already fiery mood, and followed several young policemen to break into 10 Downing Street.

Margaret Thatcher was lucky not to be in the residence, but her son Mark? Thatcher coincidentally stayed here, not knowing what she wanted to say to her mother. After the demonstration, Mark couldn't leave for a while, until several police officers defected and people stormed the prime minister's residence, and the bad boy couldn't escape.

"This is Thatcher's bastard son, Mark who bribes and does evil!" As the son of the prime minister, Mark is really bad, and he has been repeatedly exposed to scandals, which has caused a lot of trouble for the shrewd and capable Thatcher. People often hear that the prime minister's son takes advantage of his position to grab illegitimate benefits, and they are naturally angry about this.

So this Mark? Thatcher became a punching bag for the demonstrators who stormed 10 Downing Street. In addition, all kinds of furniture and facilities in No. 10 Downing Street were smashed by angry demonstrators, and it was unclear what the police were thinking about it, and it took more than 20 minutes for them to disperse the demonstrators who had stormed into the prime minister's residence. At this time, Mark had been beaten to the point that he was only one breath left, and he could only be rushed to the hospital for treatment. Afterwards, he was found to have a concussion, six ribs broken, a leg, and more than 40 stitches.

Mrs. Thatcher, who was out for a meeting, almost fainted on the spot when she heard that her son had been beaten up. To add insult to injury, in order to salvage the situation, the Conservative Party has begun to jointly demand her recall, and the private party members are electing new respected politicians to clean up the mess, and Margaret Thatcher, who had made great contributions to the Conservative Party, has now become an outcast.

It seems that no one in all of Britain is on her side.

Mrs. Thatcher, who rushed to the hospital immediately, visited her son with tears in her eyes, and was blocked by a group of reporters at the entrance of the hospital, and she said with tears in her eyes: "Please everyone is angry at me, it has nothing to do with Mark." I am willing to take responsibility for this situation, and tomorrow morning I will hand in my resignation and leave the Cabinet. ”

Mrs. Thatcher's sad expression, which was already exhausted and chaotic, did not win the sympathy of the media reporters, and a seemingly left-wing reporter asked on the spot: "Madam, is your plan to step down related to the beating of your son?" Have you ever thought about the fact that your son was injured and you were so flustered, and that in the Straits of Malacca, thousands of mothers have lost their sons, have you thought about them? ”

This heart-wrenching question immediately applauded all reporters, and it was even more of a pleading pursuit by some people for this female prime minister who was almost at the end of her rope. Mrs. Thatcher's face turned pale a few times, her lips trembled, and she was still unable to answer the question, not knowing whether she was ashamed or not knowing how to answer at all.

The resignation of Margaret Thatcher is equivalent to the last stumbling block to stop the war has been removed, and Mrs. Thatcher's cabinet has crossed the stage and reconstituted by the parliamentary majority party. He Wei became the new British prime minister, and the first task of the new prime minister was to sign a peace agreement with China and settle Yugoslavia under the mediation of the United States to withdraw from this annoying war.

Both China and the Yugoslav Liberation Army welcomed the start of the armistice talks. The venue of the negotiations was chosen in New York, USA, and the four parties were met by three parties plus a mediator from the United States. All parties agreed to stop this senseless war, but Britain still consciously showed its old John Bull powerhouse.

"All parties are moving in a positive and constructive direction, and the UK itself has great sincerity in wanting to resolve contradictions and disputes. However, in order to maintain regional balance and stability, China and Yugoslavia should return to the pre-war zone of actual control, and the Chinese PLA has left Hong Kong, and the two countries have reached a "Sino-British Joint Declaration", which should not be undermined. The SAL should also return the Brunei garrison camp to the British. "The new Foreign Minister John? Major asked.

Foreign Minister Wu Xuejian, China's plenipotentiary representative for negotiations, immediately vetoed: "The British government's brutal shooting and suppression of the defenseless Hong Kong people is the main culprit in undermining peace and stability. Although China and Britain have reached an agreement on the transfer of sovereignty, the agreement shows that Hong Kong's stability and prosperity are all prerequisites, the British government in Hong Kong is now unpopular and has become a negative asset that destroys tranquility and development, and the people of Hong Kong are not willing to accept the rule of foreign colonizers again, and since the day the PLA landed on Hong Kong Island, Hong Kong's sovereignty has returned to her mother's hands, and it is absolutely impossible for China to cede national sovereignty and territory. ”

Yugoslav Foreign Minister Zeng Minxing also said: "The legitimacy of the British garrison in Brunei has been denied by the countries concerned, and the expulsion carried out by the Brunei authorities, while our stationing in Brunei depends on Brunei's own opinion and has nothing to do with the UK." ”

Major continued: "What do you say about the North Borneo part of Malaysia? ”

Zeng Minxing replied with a cold face: "This has nothing to do with the United Kingdom, Sarawak and Sabah are originally independent sovereign entities, and they have the independent right to choose to join the Federation of Malaysia and our soon-to-be-established Nanyang Republic. Britain forcibly created a federation of Malaysia after the end of the colonization for its own interests, without considering the ideas of the local people, and then we will hold a fair and just referendum, and we will invite observer missions from all countries in the world to supervise, and Sarawak and Sabah have the right to decide to stay and choose. ”

Major was pushed back, and he didn't know how to refute it, so he could only shout: "Fair and just, the Yugoslav solution has become a troublemaker in the region, constantly coveting the territory of other countries, and this kind of referendum has no legal effect." ”

"It's not your turn to say if there is."

Major threatened: "You two are not sincere enough to solve the problem, which will bring the peace negotiations to an impasse." ”

The two foreign ministers, Wu Xuejian and Zeng Minxing, glanced at each other and were not afraid at all. The impasse is not a big problem for China and Yugoslavia, but Britain absolutely cannot bear such empty waste, and if this mess is not resolved for a day, the Conservative Party will be under tremendous pressure at home. There were also a large number of British prisoners in the hands of China and Nanjie, and even Prince Andrew, the second son of the Queen of England, was recuperating somewhere in Kuala Lumpur. Using the stalemate to scare China and Yugoslavia, is the Qing government still there?

Wu Xuejian has frequently appeared on the international stage in the past two years, and has contributed to a lot of major events, he is already a man of the hour, with the growing national strength, the support of Ping Taizong, his waist is also much harder, he smiled indifferently, and used a sentence of former British Prime Minister Churchill on the issue of sovereignty in Hong Kong, once said to Chiang Kai-shek to return to Mei Jie: "What cannot be taken away on the battlefield, don't think about it at the negotiating table." Mr. Foreign Minister, please tell us something practical. ”

Being slapped in the face like this, Major was really helpless. In the face of China, Britain's status as a great power does not work at all, and it cannot be suppressed, but it is China's previous nuclear missile test that has frightened Britain all day long. This alternation of strength and weakness has made many Britons, especially British diplomats, unable to adapt, and China, which they originally looked down upon, can slap them in the face.

U.S. Secretary of State Scholz also had to play a round at this time: "Hong Kong, the Brunei garrison and other controversial issues, we can first isolate from the armistice agreement and discuss it slowly." The immediate priority is to get the parties out of the war and to give the people of the region a peaceful and stable environment. ”

Major sighed, knowing that if the controversy was put on hold at this time, Britain would not be able to get anything cheap in the future.
