Chapter 389: The Prime Minister is here
Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Iron Lady.
At this time, the name of the Iron Lady has not yet spread, but in everyone's eyes, the newly appointed Margaret Thatcher is very different from the previous prime ministers.
Britain has reached a difficult juncture, for many years, Britain's economy has almost stagnated, domestic welfare security is also declining, at the same time, the army is also about to be disabled, and at this time, the Soviet Union has faint signs of starting a world war.
At this time, there needs to be a tough prime minister who will lead the country out of difficulties, and the so-called is Margaret Thatcher!
Before she came to power, she had firmly expressed her disgust with the Soviet Union, in her eyes, the Soviet Union was a demon, her set of remarks, and Churchill back then, almost exactly the same, in this case, what Britain needs is a firm prime minister like Churchill to lead the country out of the predicament and out of the shadow of war!
And the Iron Lady, just after coming to power, immediately began to carry out vigorous reforms, for example, to start privatizing state-owned enterprises, the country's finances, all of a sudden, relaxed, at the same time, the disadvantages of state-owned enterprises will also be eliminated, rejuvenated, and have the ability to rearm the army.
Margaret Thatcher must pay attention to the construction of the army, unlike history, several actions of the Soviet Union have exposed the bottom line of the Soviets, they want to start a world war again!
In the world of the Red Soviet Union, if the West could have discovered the conspiracy of the Soviets early and then counterattacked, maybe the author would have been able to write millions of words, but the Soviet Union was almost urging decay and soon divided the United States.
And now, the Western world has smelled the uneasiness and started to fight back, so this world war, once fought, is destined to be longer and more interesting!
Could it be that it was his own crossing that caused a lot of changes in this world?
No matter.
Mrs. Thatcher came in, as the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, she attaches importance to the army, and at the same time, she attaches more importance to Nathan, you know, her current reform measures, all of a sudden, made Britain breathe smoothly from the remnants of the breath, and these reforms, in fact, Nathan proposed at that time, gave her a lot of inspiration.
That's how it is now.
Mrs. Thatcher heard that Nathan was coming, so she came over to take a look, and by the way, cheer up the navy, don't worry, the bread will be there, everything will be there, the country will not let the army continue to be wronged, no, the first batch of orders for Tomcat fighters has been issued to Grumman, specific negotiations are underway, the United States can not make too much, to give Britain a reasonable price, and the first batch of orders from Britain has been as high as sixty, enough to meet the equipment of these aircraft carriers.
After all, there are still ghosts and monsters that can be operated, that is, the aircraft carrier given by the Americans, plus this Invincible, sixty planes, proper.
Now, Margaret Thatcher is in her fifties, and for a politician and a national leader, this age is the peak of her life.
"Ladies and gentlemen, today I am an unofficial inspection, so don't be intimidated." Mrs. Thatcher walked in and said to the crowd, "I heard that Major Nathan is here, so I came to see it." ”
There was a lot of red tape for the official inspections, and now Mrs. Thatcher was only improvising.
Everyone dodged out of the way, and then, in the midst of their attention, Mrs. Thatcher walked up to Nathan step by step.
"Major Nathan, it's a pleasure to meet you." Margaret Thatcher said.
"Madame, it's a pleasure to meet you." Nathan also congratulated: "Since I have been fighting until recently, I learned that you have become the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, and I believe that under your management, it will certainly be much better than your predecessor, especially the Royal Navy, and it is time to regroup." ”
All of them were naval officers, and they knew Nathan's contribution to it, and at Her Majesty's banquet last year, Major Nathan directly confronted the then Prime Minister and made the then Prime Minister speechless.
At the time, the Navy felt a light on their faces, and now, Nathan said this, which made them even more excited.
"Yes, our navy, over the years, has weakened step by step, and now, seeing that the threat is coming, the burden on the navy is very great."
"Prime Minister, please rest assured, we will definitely fight bravely in a possible war, and we, the United Kingdom, have never been afraid and have never lost."
Britain has not lost for many years.
Even if World War II was so terrible, Britain could survive it, what are you afraid of now!
"Ma'am, you are so beautiful today." After Nathan finished speaking, Emily next to him spoke again, unlike others, Emily is a woman, of course she knows what women like to hear the most.
"Little sweetheart, it's your mouth that is the sweetest." Margaret Thatcher said: "I heard that you are in the United States and have been assisting Andrew and them, and on behalf of the British government, I thank you for your help. ”
"Madame's serious, Andrew and them, they are very motivated to learn, and now they are starting to carry out complex flight training, they will definitely complete the task soon, and then become the fist of the navy."
At this kind of banquet, as long as you don't hate someone, you can say flattering words, anyway, no one takes it too seriously, and everyone carries the sedan chair.
However, since the prime ministers are here, it is absolutely impossible to just exchange a few words.
Now, even if the greetings were in the past, Nathan heard Thatcher's question: "Nathan, they all say that you have a terrible insight on the battlefield, and in strategy, you are even more far-sighted, and you can be a qualified prophet, you say, will there be a war in Europe?" ”
This is what everyone is most concerned about, and Nathan's high-minded rhetoric in the United States is also considered by most people to be the most likely, now, will Nathan judge the situation in Europe?
The Soviets in the Far East, only feints, or will the Soviets, after gaining superiority in the Far East, seek absolute superiority in Europe?
"How do you think the Soviets suddenly occupied Hokkaido, strategically, to gain this advantage?" Nathan asked abruptly.
No one thought that the Soviets would suddenly send troops, this is the most critical, both tactical and strategic, in short, the Soviets took the Soviets by surprise and made it impossible for their side to respond effectively, which is the most critical.
At the same time, there is no need to answer, Nathan's intention is already obvious, everyone thinks that the Soviets will provoke a war in Europe, so will the Soviets really do this?
Of course not!
