    The noisy fights and harsh words of condemnation lasted for many months. Although outsiders saw some tension between Britain and South Korea, no one thought that the British Royal Navy could actually send troops.  Even Britain's most important ally, the United States, was taken aback by the British.

    The Reagan administration immediately sent Vice President Bush to London, hoping to stop the British from this reckless and hasty action.  It's not that Reagan thought the British couldn't win, but that it was a completely unnecessary battle.  The United States has received China's approval from the beginning. The newly established Nanyang Republic will become a democratic country with universal suffrage. The CPE red forces will not be in power, at least not on the table.  In addition, the US military is allowed to use the military facilities here, and across the Gulf of Thailand is the Cam Ranh Bay military base of the Soviet Red Navy. If this can be controlled, it will further threaten the Soviet Union.

    Even if you think it looks ugly for China to swallow up Malaysia in such a way for nothing, at least it is not a complete annexation, and there is a bright coat of national liberation and democratic freedom on the surface.  The United States is not happy that China has become fat this time, but it is impossible for the United States to stop China from doing so.

    The so-called Nanyang Republic will definitely be another secondary ally of the United States in Southeast Asia in the future. Strategic experts from various academic circles have analyzed it and generally believe that a country with Chinese as the main body established based on the nine states of Malaya will definitely have comparisons in the future.  Good development, if Singapore can be integrated into one, can provide war potential and international support far better than the Philippines, a former colony that the United States cannot support now.

    Another factor that cannot be explained is that the Southern Liberation Army's resistance to the Green Malays won the sympathy and support of the Jewish nation, and the political and economic power of the Jews in the United States is considerable. Therefore, although both within the Congress and among the people,  There are voices that block China's southern liberation from annexing Malaysia, but the Jewish forces this time believe that the destruction of a Muslim country is an absolute victory and should be strongly supported.

    ??The direct manifestation is that in Qi Yiming¡¯s recent fund-raising activity for the Nanyang Chinese Independence Movement through the Chinese Embassy in the United States, the largest number of donations was not from Chinese Americans, but from the Jewish community.  The Morgan family, who have a good relationship with Qi Yiming, also donated US$200,000 to show their appreciation.

    Taking all factors together, the United States silently acquiesced to the South Korean Liberation Army's annexation of Malaysia, while the United Kingdom recklessly sent a large fleet across two oceans to pursue the South Korean Liberation Army. No matter which side lost its power, it was  For the United States, this is a loss for its own alliance camp, which is absolutely unacceptable.

    Bush came to London with the expectation that the Reagan administration would turn the tide. However, when he arrived, he discovered that this task was by no means as easy to accomplish as imagined.

    Mrs. Thatcher personally greeted Bush Sr. at the airport, but the iron lady of politics looked particularly stiff. Bush Sr., who felt that he should behave like a gentleman, wanted to tell her a few lighter jokes to adjust the atmosphere, but Thatcher  However, the lady kept a cold fake smile and accompanied Bush Sr. through the entire welcoming process.

    "This iron lady seems to be determined to teach some blind Chinese people a lesson," Bush thought to himself.

    The limousine drove to the meeting location, and along the way Bush saw many British people holding signs in support of Mrs. Thatcher's expedition.  Although Mrs. Thatcher was a controversial political figure, during her time in power, some British people still had high support for her.  Especially her decisive attack in the Falkland War in 1988 won victory and honor for Britain and recaptured the Falkland Islands.  She repeatedly demonstrated Britain's strength in the international arena. Her ruthless suppression of the Northern Irish Republican Army, coupled with a series of liberal economic policies, allowed Britain to consolidate its international status in the second half of the 20th century when its national power was gradually declining.  .

    When Bush looked at the various protest slogans, he basically didn't talk too much about helping allies or upholding democracy and justice. Instead, what he saw were "Let the Oriental guys taste the power of the British" and "Hard talk."  "Chinese braids", well, that's right, before the Internet age started, many Westerners still thought that Chinese people wore braids.

    Bush immediately asked the accompanying diplomats stationed in the UK: "Is this kind of opinion mainstream in the UK?"

    The embassy staff replied: "In the past few days, the Times, The Sun and other mainstream media have done a lot of reporting on the situation in Malaya, and they have reproduced many of the local media's humiliations and cynicism about the British.  The matter itself has evolved from simply resolving regional tensions to one where the British want to fight to clear their name. Although many British people do not want to fight a war, mainstream British public opinion is very dissatisfied with the words and deeds of the South Korean Liberation Army.  Punishment is needed. Those who jump the most are the conservatives and hawks. They think that Falkland can win, and Malaya can also win."

    Bush Sr. sighed and said: "What's the use of fighting? The British do not have enough strength to carry out landing operations. It is estimated that the number of volunteers arriving from China will not be long before more than tenTen thousand people, how many British army and marines are in Malaya?  More than ten years ago, we fought a confused Vietnam War, losing tens of thousands of outstanding young people, and making the United States passive in the Cold War.  Today, Britain is facing the Southern Liberation Army supported by China. Maybe the Chinese are not as ferocious as the Vietnamese, but they have better weapons and more advanced war concepts. The United Kingdom does not have the national strength of the United States to independently fight against the Southern Liberation Army and the Southern Liberation Army.  China behind the scenes

    Diplomats speculated: "Perhaps as the British themselves said, they wanted to punish and teach the South Korean people and the Chinese people their rudeness."

    Bush shook his head and said: "Where has the strategic determination of Britain as a long-established power gone? Listen to this, in order to punish its opponents and take care of its own face, it traveled thousands of miles and spent hundreds of millions of pounds to fight a war without success.  Is there anything more stupid than this?"

    The diplomat couldn't help but said: "Outsiders can see it more clearly. When we fought the Vietnam War, we must have thought that it was just a small war and it would be over after just one fight. But in the end, when there were losses, we wanted to win even more. This is a gambler's mentality.  , the losses are increasing, and I hope the British will not repeat this story.¡±

    Bush Sr. smiled and said: "This is exactly what we came for. Both sides are allies on the same front. They consume each other in order to relieve their anger, which is also a huge loss for our country."

    After sorting out his thoughts, Bush took his entourage into the White Hall to hold a formal meeting with Mrs. Thatcher.  However, at the beginning of the meeting, Mrs. Thatcher began to talk about 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 much achievements the Anglo-American alliance has made today, and how much the amount of bilateral economic and trade exchanges has increased.  How many, how many people have communicated

    Bush immediately understood that their meeting time was limited, and Mrs. Thatcher used this little trick to compress the time they had to talk about sending troops, similar to the lengthy speeches often used in Congress to block the passage of bills.  Due to diplomatic etiquette, Bush could not directly interrupt Mrs. Thatcher's conversation with other British officials.

    "This is going to be big trouble."

    Just like listening to sutras, Bush Sr. finally waited for Mrs. Thatcher to finish speaking, and quickly got to the point, "Madam Prime Minister, regarding the situation in Malaysia, we believe that strengthening communication and exchanges and dialogue is always better than military action. Although the South Liberation Army  Some of his actions were inappropriate, but they were not worth getting into trouble for."

    Mrs. Thatcher had a cold face and still said in a very diplomatic language: "The United Kingdom's position on the situation in Malaya and the Southern Liberation Army is consistent and consistent, that is, the Southern Liberation Army is an illegal rebel organization and a danger to the region.  The bad factors for regional peace are the main culprits that harm an independent country, its territorial sovereignty and the security of its people. Any just country in the world has the obligation to wipe such a scum off the face of the earth.

    Bush was frightened when he heard this, and he was even more dissatisfied with Mrs. Thatcher's insinuations about the injustice of the United States. He quickly said: "Even so, British allies should consider their military actions more carefully, because British troops are likely to make the situation worse."  The situation worsened and the situation escalated. After all, although China did not take a stand on the surface, it was impossible for China not to take action when things got really out of control. Britain and China were both important allies and partners of our country, and fighting against each other would only allow the Soviets to steal.  laugh."

    The anger on Mrs. Thatcher's face was obvious, "British-US relations have 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 join hands to fight for human democracy and freedom. China is an opportunist  The red country is the birthplace of tyranny and dictatorship. The crisis in Malaya further proves the bad nature of communist countries exporting revolution. The United States should treat its foreign relations more prudently. China is not a friend of our free world.  are our enemies¡±

    The two parties are increasingly unable to reach an agreement, and Bush Sr. is becoming more and more helpless.  Mrs. Thatcher was determined to break up the quarrel with China and South Korea. No matter how the United States moved with emotion or reason, Mrs. Thatcher always used her own iron-clad conservatism to make no difference.  Such treatment made Bush Sr. want to call Mrs. Thatcher an idiot.

    ¡°After all, ideology is just a superficial layer of national interests. Can these island-dwelling arrogance maniacs really push China to the side of the Soviet Union because it is not a true Western-style democracy?  Bush can negotiate with more stubborn people, but he believes that he cannot negotiate with people with rusty brains because their IQ cannot be used properly.

    Leaving the conference room, Bush Sr. ordered his followers: "Tell Washington that the mediation failed and be prepared to think about the aftermath."
