Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    All chances of success no longer exist. Following the Sino-Soviet conflict, the world has once again officially entered the brink of nuclear war.  Unlike the last time, this time everything was put on the table. China's successful nuclear missile test launched panic around the world.  Considering that China's nuclear weapons principle is a nuclear counterattack principle of no first use of nuclear weapons, the ball has now been kicked to the British again.

    We have decided on Malaysia, Hong Kong and Brunei, and your ultimatum is about to expire. Will you fight this nuclear war or not?

    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 might have been a mentality of waiting and watching the situation develop, and taking advantage of the situation, but at this juncture, Washington sent a large number of diplomats to shuttle between the capital and London, using various means such as coaxing, intimidation, and promises to resolve this original situation.  A crisis that shouldn't happen.

    Outside No. 10 Downing Street, thousands of demonstrators held signs and chanted slogans.

    ¡°Thatcher steps down, Thatcher steps 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. At the beginning of the war, some people thought that Yugoslavia or China were not worth mentioning, and they would have to pay the price if they dared to offend the British power.  But now, it turns out that the paper tiger is not China or South Korea, but the already aging United Kingdom.  Can glory and history be used as food?  Now that they are about to be hit by nuclear missiles on the mainland, why are you still talking so hard?

    "The Prime Minister is going to come out and give everyone an explanation." The organizer of the demonstration held a loudspeaker and kept shouting at No. 10 Downing Street.  Rows of police officers stood outside, seemingly sympathetic to the demonstrators.  No one wants war, especially when they have suffered so much loss and pain and are more likely to be destroyed. The police also hate the woman in the official residence very much.

    Perhaps infected by the emotions of the demonstrators, several young police officers suddenly turned against each other, "The bastard female Prime Minister supported large private enterprises and tried to deprive us ordinary people of the welfare. Now she has to fight for a country that is not hers. Influenza England boys  The last drop of blood. We don¡¯t want to be cannon fodder for this evil. We don¡¯t want our homeland to be destroyed by nuclear bombs. Catch this witch and let England get back on track.¡±

    Unexpectedly, a few young police officers broke through their own defenses and kicked open the front door of No. 10 Downing Street. However, their colleagues did not react for a moment. More demonstrators were affected by the police defection and their already intense mood.  , followed a few young policemen and broke into No. 10 Downing Street.

    Fortunately, Mrs. Thatcher was not in the official residence, but her son Mark Thatcher happened to stay here, not knowing what to say to his mother.  After the demonstration, Mark was unable to leave for a while. When several police officers turned against him and people rushed into the Prime Minister's official residence, this bad boy could no longer escape.

    "This is Thatcher's bastard son, the briber and evil-doer Mark." As the son of the Prime Minister, Mark did not do well. He was repeatedly exposed in scandals, causing a lot of trouble for the shrewd and powerful Thatcher.  People often hear that the prime minister's son takes advantage of his status to gain illegitimate benefits, and they are naturally very angry about this.

    So Mark Thatcher became the punching bag for the demonstrators who stormed No. 10 Downing Street.  In addition, various furniture and facilities in No. 10 Downing Street were smashed by angry demonstrators. It is not clear what the police had in mind. It took more than 20 minutes before they responded to the demonstrators who broke into the Prime Minister's official residence.  The person was evicted.  By this time, Mark had been beaten to the point where he had only one breath left, and had to be rushed to the hospital for treatment.  Afterwards, he was diagnosed with a concussion, six broken ribs, one leg, and more than 40 stitches. Mark's words were also severely stepped on by someone who didn't know who he was.

    Mrs. Thatcher, who was out for a meeting, almost fainted on the spot when she heard that her son had been beaten wildly.  To make matters worse, in order to save the situation, the Conservative Party has begun to jointly call for her removal. Party members who are working together privately are recommending new respected politicians to clean up the mess. Mrs. Thatcher, who originally made great contributions to the Conservative Party, has now become the leader of the Conservative Party.  Got an abandoned son.

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

    Mrs. Thatcher rushed to the hospital immediately to visit her son with tears in her eyes. She was blocked by a group of reporters at the entrance of the hospital. She said tearfully: "Please direct your anger at me and it has nothing to do with Mark. I am willing to take responsibility for this situation."  , I will submit my resignation tomorrow morning and withdraw from the cabinet.¡±

    Mrs. Thatcher, who was already mentally and physically exhausted and in disarray, did not win the sympathy of the media reporters with her sad expression. A reporter who seemed to be on the left asked on the spot: "Madam, is your plan to step down related to the beating of your son? So, do you want to  However, your son was injured and you were so panicked. But in the Strait of Malacca, thousands of mothers lost their sons. Have you ever thought about them? "

    This heart-wrenching question immediately made all reporters applaud, and it was also the final pursuit of this female prime minister who was almost at the end of her rope.  Mrs Thatcher'sHis face paled a few times, his lips trembled, but in the end he still couldn't answer the question. I don't know if it was because he was ashamed or because he didn't know how to answer it at all.

    Mrs. Thatcher's resignation was equivalent to the removal of the last stumbling block to stopping the war. Mrs. Thatcher's cabinet stepped down and the majority party in parliament re-formed the cabinet. After Mrs. Thatcher left, the former foreign minister and veteran politician Jeffrey  Howey is the new British Prime Minister, and the first task of the new Prime Minister is to sign a peace agreement with China and South Korea under the mediation of the United States and withdraw from this annoying war.

    ¡°China and Yugoslavia both welcome the start of armistice negotiations.  The negotiation venue was chosen in New York, USA, with four-party talks between the three parties plus a mediator from the United States.  All parties in the meeting reached an agreement to stop this senseless war, but Britain still consciously showed its John Bull bullishness as a powerful country.

    "All parties are moving in a positive and constructive direction, and the UK itself also has great sincerity in hoping to resolve conflicts and disputes. But in order to maintain regional balance and stability, China and Yugoslavia should return to the actual control they had before the war.  If the Chinese PLA leaves Hong Kong and the two countries have reached the Sino-British Joint Declaration, it should not be destroyed. The South Korean Liberation Army should also return the Brunei garrison camp to the United Kingdom," the new Foreign Secretary John Major proposed.

    The Chinese negotiator and foreign minister Wu Xuejian immediately vetoed: "The British Hong Kong government's brutal shooting and suppression of the unarmed Hong Kong people is the culprit that undermines peace and stability. The British side must adopt a good attitude to recognize its mistakes and work hard to correct them.  Although China and Britain have reached an agreement on the transfer of sovereignty, the agreement shows that Hong Kong's stability and prosperity are the prerequisites for everything. The British Hong Kong government is now unpopular and has become a negative asset that undermines Hong Kong's tranquility and development.  The people are not willing to accept the rule of foreign colonists again. From the day the PLA landed on Hong Kong Island, Hong Kong's sovereignty has returned to its mother's hands, and it is absolutely impossible for our country to transfer our national sovereignty and territory."

    Zeng Minxing, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the South Liberation Army, also said: "The legality of the British garrison in Brunei has been denied by the country concerned. Brunei's official expulsion, and our garrison in Brunei depends on Brunei's own opinions and has nothing to do with the British  any relationship."

    Major continued: "Then what do you mean when you occupy 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 have the independent right to choose to join the Federation of Malaysia and our upcoming Nanyang Republic. The United Kingdom is doing it for its own interests.  Forcibly forming a Malaysian federation after the end of colonization did not take into account the ideas of the local people. We will then hold a fair and just referendum and invite observer missions from all over the world to supervise it. Sarawak and Sabah have the right to decide whether to stay or stay on their own.  "

    Major was pushed back and didn¡¯t know how to refute. He could only shout: ¡°Fair and just, Yugoslavia has become a troublemaker in the region, constantly coveting other countries¡¯ territories. This kind of referendum has no legal effect.

    "It's not your turn to say whether you have it or not."

    Major threatened: "You two have no sincerity to solve the problem at all, which will bring the peace negotiations to a deadlock."

    The two foreign ministers, Wu Xuejian and Zeng Minxing, looked at each other without any fear.  The deadlock is not a big problem for China or Yugoslavia, but the UK can never bear such a waste. If this mess is not solved for a day, the Conservative Party will be under tremendous pressure at home.  There are also a large number of British prisoners of war in the hands of China and South Korea. Even Prince Andrew, the second son of the Queen of England, is recuperating somewhere in Kuala Lumpur.  By using the deadlock to scare China and South Korea, does the Qing government still exist?

    Wu Xuejian has frequently appeared on the international stage in the past two years, and has contributed to many major events. He is already a man of the hour. As the country's strength has grown stronger and Ping Taizong's support has strengthened his back a lot, he smiled nonchalantly and said with  In response to Major, former British Prime Minister Churchill once said a famous saying to Chiang Kai-shek on the issue of Hong Kong sovereignty: "What can't be taken away on the battlefield, don't even think about it at the negotiation table. Mr. Foreign Secretary, please say something practical."

    Being slapped in the face like this, Major was really helpless.  In front of China, Britain's status as a major power has no effect at all, and it cannot suppress it. On the contrary, China's previous nuclear missile test-launches frightened Britain into panic all day long.  This alternation of strength and weakness has made it difficult for many British people, especially British diplomats, to adapt to the fact that China, which they originally looked down upon, can slap them in the face.

    U.S. Secretary of State Shultz also had to smooth things over at this time: "We can isolate controversial issues such as the garrison in Hong Kong and Brunei from the armistice agreement and discuss them later. The top priority now is to get several parties to completely withdraw from the war and return this.  A peaceful and stable environment for the people of the region.¡±

    Major sighed, knowing that by shelving the dispute at this time, Britain would be less likely to get any benefits in the future.
