Reborn in Hong Kong: The Tycoon Grows Up
Chapter 1919 Intensifying
Bao Zixuan never expected that the situation was so serious; it can only be said that the Scots had suppressed their emotions for too long, and all their emotions were released at this moment! Fortresses are most easily breached from within, and this is especially true for declining states. In the previous life, the Americans disintegrated the Soviet Union without even using a single shot. It is the same reason.
The outbreak of war between the United States and the Soviet Union is likely to return mankind to the Stone Age; the top leaders of the United States are going crazy and do not dare to think of war with the Soviet Union. If that were the case, I wouldn't be able to bear it.
The same is true for the United Kingdom, which was one of the five permanent members of the United Nations even after its decline; and it possesses nuclear weapons, and its strength cannot be underestimated. Argentina only dared to go to war with the British against the Falklands, and did not dare to launch any attacks on the British mainland; it was also worried about retaliation. After all, in the face of absolute strength; any small means will not work, let alone get on the stage.
If you create trouble for Britain, you can also get huge bonuses; the Soviet agents are like chicken blood, and they can be said to work hard. As a direct result, demonstrations in major cities in Scotland have turned into riots. According to the current development trend, if it is not stopped, it will soon spread to the entire British Isles.
Apart from England, Wales is more obedient; Northern Ireland is also a factor of instability. It was only because many things depended on England that no conflict broke out.
Of course, the core is still interests. Northern Ireland has no oil resources; and the proportion of public expenditures it bears is less than the number of people, so it is the party that takes advantage.
But compared to England, he was born to a baby mother after all; he is very unpopular. If possible, I still hope to return to Ireland; of the same clan and race, we naturally want to be closer.
At No. 10 Downing Street, the Iron Lady looked gloomy; the war on the front line was not going well, and unexpectedly there were serious problems internally. Once the incident ferments or escalates, the consequences will be difficult for the British Empire to bear.
After all, he is a strongman who has been in power for many years and is definitely not bad at being calm. He held a cabinet meeting overnight to properly resolve the Scottish issue.
The Iron Lady said with a serious expression: "Everyone, the current situation is no worse than during World War II. I don't say that everyone knows what difficulties the country is facing; we must unite and work together. All parties must put aside their prejudices and deal with the outside world in unison. If anyone is holding back at this time, then he is a sinner of the British Empire."
"I want to know why the demonstration suddenly broke out. Is it man-made planning? Or is it due to other factors."
As Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, and in office for more than ten years; no one understood the contradiction between Scotland and England better than she did. Especially after the war began, too much money had been transferred from Scotland in order to cope with the huge military expenditure.
Who allows Scotland to own oil fields, but other places do not have this condition. Blind demands will naturally lead to resistance; but a sudden outburst still makes the Iron Lady smell a conspiracy.
Women have a very strong sixth sense, and they think it must be right; there must be external forces involved, otherwise the impact would not be so great. In just two days, the whole of Scotland was paralyzed. There is a strong attitude that they will not break away from the United Kingdom and will never give up.
It is not that Scots have never had demonstrations before; but they will soon subside; at most, they will only affect a certain industry, and the impact will be very limited. Now with millions of people together, things get very tricky.
The Iron Lady glanced at the person in charge of MI5, her meaning was obvious; she needs you to give a reasonable explanation.
Don't look at the difference in the names of MI5 and MI6, but in fact the functions of the two are very different.
MI5 is also known as the National Security Agency; it was established nearly a hundred years ago; it was later shortened to MI5. Its role is mainly reflected in national security aspects such as counterintelligence.
Internally, he is a counter-espionage officer and externally, he is the Minister of the Interior; he is mainly responsible for protecting the country and preventing illegal activities such as espionage and terrorist activities. At the same time, MI5 is also responsible for defending the country's economic interests and resisting the suppression and destruction of the British economy by other countries. But in the face of spies and terrorists, MI5 only has the right to supervise; it does not have the right to arrest criminals and spies. Therefore; MI5 does not have its own dedicated troops.
What is happening now is in the United Kingdom, and MI6's responsibility is to conduct espionage activities externally; it naturally falls under the responsibility of MI5.
The head of MI5 thought for a moment and said: "The reason why the Scots marched was because they saw relevant reports in the Daily Mail. Public expenditure only accounts for 15% of the total population of the UK; anyone who sees it will be unhappy."
"Coupled with the help of foreign agents, the scale of the parade continued to expand. Although the enemy was very smart, they also left some clues. The KGB was behind everything, but no substantial evidence has been found yet."
After hearing this, the officials at the scene did not completely believe it; they even thought that everything was an excuse by MI5. In the past, any incident that was detrimental to Britain occurred and the culprit could not be found; the blame would be placed on the KGB.
Anyway, it cannot be verified. It is said that the two countries themselves are hostile countries; this possibility cannot be ruled out.
But no matter what state the Soviet Union is in at the moment, it cannot protect itself; how can it still have the energy to cause trouble for the British Empire? Selling weapons and equipment to the Argentines can increase income; this is understandable. However, planning for Scottish independence requires a large initial investment; the KGB allocation is seriously insufficient, and it is difficult to say whether the basic salary of intelligence personnel can be paid normally; there is no excess funds to bribe the Scots.
Telling lies is not a big problem at ordinary times, but now the country is facing a critical moment of life and death; and the Soviets are actually allowed to take the blame. If you guess the wrong direction, it will bring disaster to the British Empire!
In fact, we can't blame the head of MI5 for saying so, regardless of whether there is evidence or not; but it will definitely not be wrong to put the blame on Keberg. Even if the other party does not participate, they will certainly provide relevant support.
Domestic and foreign intelligence agencies belong to two different systems, which has many benefits; they can check and balance each other to avoid a dominant one; it affects high-level decision-making, and it is not that easy to rebel.
But there is a fatal flaw, that is, information cannot be shared; MI6 has already discovered some clues in Arab countries; it has even found that funds flow to the United Kingdom.
But these will definitely not be reported to MI5. It is considered to be nosy; the most important thing is that it can easily cause unnecessary misunderstandings. It may even worry the Prime Minister and even the Royal Family.
No one would do such a thankless thing. In addition, the person in charge of MI6 was not invited to this meeting; therefore, no one made a report.
In short, it is definitely not wrong to pass the blame to Lao Maozi.
Iron Lady: "Since it is the KGB who did it, find them; no matter how strong the opponent is, this is within the British Empire. If the enemy cannot be captured, it means you are not qualified for this job; it is better to resign voluntarily !”
As the prime minister of a country, you don't have to promise a lot of money; but you can also make a nail with a drop of spit. To actually have the head of MI5 resign on his own initiative shows that he is indeed serious.
Everyone also understands that the situation in the Falklands War is very unclear; it is difficult to determine the outcome in a short period of time. Even though the UK's overall national strength is stronger, it is still a labor expedition; if you want to maximize your benefits, you must fight quickly. The longer it takes, the worse it will be for the British Empire.
But judging from the Argentinian's posture, it is impossible to make the other party give up the Falkland Islands voluntarily. They can only continue to waste away. Britain must grit its teeth and persist. The Falkland Islands have become the last face of the empire.
Things are not going well on the front line, and there is a fire in the backyard; just any thing is uncomfortable enough. The two happened together; that is to say, the British Empire has a good foundation; if it were other countries, they would have been unable to hold on long ago.
Most countries in the world cannot afford the daily consumption on the front line alone.
Seeing that everyone was deep in thought, the Iron Lady knew that the shock had played a certain role; she had to add fire, so she continued: "The top priority is to quell the riot. What measures should be taken? What do you think?"
Troubled times require heavy rules, applicable to any country; as Prime Minister, he directly characterized the actions of the Scots as riots; indicating that he wanted to use force to suppress them.
At this time, whether the method is appropriate is debatable; the reports are indeed true, and the Scots have suffered too much in recent years; it is normal to vent some emotions.
Strong suppression is likely to be counterproductive and cause greater turmoil and panic. It will also lose the support of the Scottish people and the losses will be incalculable.
