Reborn in Hong Kong: The Tycoon Grows Up
Chapter 1918 The split begins
The Iraqi president and his son are definitely actionists. After they believed that Bao Zixuan's idea was feasible, they immediately began to deploy it. At the critical moment, I was still very experienced. Not only did I contact other Arab countries, I even revealed relevant ideas to the Soviet ambassador.
Generally speaking, when it comes to hostility to the Soviet Union, what people generally think of is the hostility of the United States to the Soviet Union, because in the struggle for hegemony between the two countries during the Cold War, almost all means except all-out hot war were used. Therefore, this also led people to only When mentioning hostility to the Soviet Union, one would think of the United States, thus underestimating or ignoring Britain's hostility to the Soviet Union.
In fact, Britain's hostility to the Soviet Union was no weaker than that of the United States, and could be said to be even worse. Britain's hostility to the Soviet Union can be said to have begun since the birth of the Soviet power.
Shortly after the victory of the Russian October Revolution, the British used the pretext of preventing German invasion and protecting the interests of expatriates to mobilize France, the United States, Japan, etc. to directly invade Soviet Russia even though World War I was ongoing, and also provided weapons and funds to the rebels in Soviet Russia. assistance. In the 1930s, in order to attack the Soviet Union, Britain continued to strengthen Germany, actively promoted the appeasement policy, sacrificed the interests of small countries, and even betrayed its ally Poland.
And during World War II, even when Britain was the only country left to fight against Germany on the Western European battlefield, Britain did not choose to ally with the Soviet Union; even during the most intense period of the Soviet-German battlefield, Britain was still wary of the Soviet Union at every turn. After the end of World War II, the official start of the Cold War was the Iron Curtain speech delivered by former British Prime Minister Winston Churchill.
The hostility is mutual, and the top Soviet officials are very aware of this situation. Now is the chance to make the British miserable without having to pay for it yourself; so what are you waiting for?
Planning to split the British Empire requires early investment; no one will want to work with you if you don't have money. But given the current situation of the Soviet Union, you must not raise money with them, otherwise they will have to fall out with you!
As the Anglo-Arab war continues, international oil prices are also rising; bank accounts in Arab countries are growing at a rate visible to the naked eye. Now that we can use money to seduce the British, and there is also a chance to get back the lost cultural relics, we all support it with both hands.
In addition, the President of Iraq revealed to other Arab countries that not only can they obtain cultural relics, but they also have the opportunity to obtain some advanced technologies. Oil and natural gas are both non-renewable resources; how Arab countries will live once they are exhausted is a question worth pondering.
The reason why Europe is strong is because of its strong technology; even though the British Empire is declining, it is still a developed country. If you are really pushed to the edge, you can do anything. The technology and machinery that were previously refused to be sold will no longer be an unattainable dream.
Without further ado, the special fund of US$200 million was immediately transferred to the KGB office in Scotland. The industry that agents work in is relatively special, and their benefits and treatment are definitely much better than ordinary people. However, the Soviet Union's economy has been in recession in recent years, and the KGB has never been able to receive sufficient funding.
200 million US dollars is equivalent to 20 years of activity funds, how can we not be excited; as the saying goes, money makes things easier, and the British have long been unhappy with it. They advocated the Soviet threat theory in the media all day long. Before, they lacked financial strength; many plans could not be carried out, but now they have no worries.
The Soviet agents in the UK must make the British pay a heavy price. This is the unanimous idea of the Soviet agents in the UK. As one of the four major intelligence agencies in the world, there is no doubt about the strength of the KGB; the more you know about the British, the more you can feel their hostility towards the Soviet Union.
During the Cold War, many agents defected, but most of them remained loyal to their homeland; those who were able to carry out missions abroad were all carefully selected elites.
People like this have their own pursuits; before, it was because financial resources did not allow it, but now funds are not a problem at all. If you have money in your pocket and don't panic, you will naturally want to do something. Let the Arabs take a good look at how much their money is worth!
The Daily Mail was founded by Lord Northern Rock, the founder of modern British journalism, at the beginning of the modern bourgeois newspaper industry in England in the 18th century.
The news reported follows the example of American newspapers, with clear themes and fast pace. At the same time, the content vigorously caters to social needs, covering court news, sports news, stock quotes, political talk, world opinion summaries, social news, technological inventions, women's gardens, etc. At the same time, Harmsworth increased its marketing efforts and used trains to transport newspapers to other places to expand its influence and sales. The "Daily Mail"'s practices of adapting to society have achieved great results. The circulation of the first issue reached 3 and reached 1 million copies; it once affected the survival of "The Times". It is currently the most influential newspaper in Scotland and almost every Scottish adult will buy it!
For such an influential newspaper, the KGB would definitely not let it go; the deputy editor-in-chief of the newspaper had been serving the KGB for a long time. As long as the KGB wants to do something, let alone a deputy editor of a small newspaper; even the French ambassador to the Soviet Union can still easily win it.
Everyone has weaknesses, and the Daily Mail's deputy editor is no exception. While the editor-in-chief is on vacation and the newspaper is fully managed by him, the action is about to begin!
When they woke up in the morning, the Scots bought a copy of the Daily Mail as usual, but when they saw the content, they were extremely angry.
The title is simple, just two sets of numbers - 6%, 15%.
The Daily Mail has been published for nearly a century and has always been known for its strict prohibition; it should not make stupid mistakes. This is the first time that two sets of numbers are used as a title; it makes people curious.
The content of the report mainly talks about England's occupation of Scotland. Ever since the Anglo-Saxons came to the British Isles, they began to plunder. Relying on their numerical advantage, the suppression of Scotland has never stopped.
Entering modern times, not only has it not stopped; it has become an intensified trend. Scots only account for 15% of the country's public expenditure despite only making up the total population of the UK.
In fact, it was not that high originally, but after entering wartime; the demand for oil became greater, and Scotland naturally had to bear more responsibilities.
The report directly listed several other countries along the North Sea coast, especially Norway, which has become one of the countries with the highest per capita GDP in the world thanks to its oil resources. If Scotland did not have to bear so much public expenditure, the entire region would become extremely wealthy; after all, their oil resources are no less than those of Norway.
Divided equally among everyone, the amount would be staggering.
The British are still dissatisfied with this. Number 10 Downing Street also wants to increase taxes in Scotland and increase oil extraction. It is either tolerable or intolerable; there is no resistance at all, it will only make people feel that you are easy to bully; with the character of the English people, it will definitely get worse.
As early as the time of Edward I, indirect and direct control over Scotland began; Scotland became an English territory. However, the Scots did not want to be ruled by England, and they fought two wars of independence during this period!
Historical hatred, coupled with uneven distribution of resources, made the people not in the mood to work at all, but began organized demonstrations. We must let No. 10 Downing Street give us an explanation. We cannot always be robbed; otherwise independence is inevitable!
As the parade marched, there was even a broadcast truck following it; it was announced that once Scotland becomes independent, Scotland will receive 10% of its gas fields; this will also make Scotland a rich country.
Now all this is controlled by the English, and the funds and taxes obtained from oil are not used at all for urban construction and basic education in Scotland.
Instead, it is used to build London, Manchester, and Liverpool; and to invest in universities such as Oxford and Cambridge. But no matter how well London is built, it has nothing to do with the Scots.
The proportion of students admitted to Oxford and Cambridge universities in Scotland has always been lower than that in England. This is really too much.
In fact, this is quite normal. After all, England is much better than Scotland in terms of basic education. It is normal for a high proportion of students to enter prestigious schools.
But now all this has been infinitely magnified; it has even affected oil extraction in the North Sea oil fields.
The North Sea oil fields are located in Scotland, and the workers are naturally mainly Scottish; it is normal to choose to strike. In the eyes of the oil workers, they are no longer extracting oil, but helping the English plunder Scotland's resources. You must not do anything that betrays your own interests.
KGB intelligence officers took advantage of this opportunity and directly destroyed some mining equipment. Even if the march is over, it will take some time to resume oil production; the intentions are very vicious!
