Chapter 1936: Strike hard
At this time, everyone at the scene was deep in thought. To be precise, no one dared to express their opinion. According to the Prime Minister's idea, the people marching in Scotland were suppressed. This would inevitably lead to bloodshed and sacrifice. International influence is on the one hand, and the most important thing is to settle accounts.
They are likely to become the scapegoat!
It is impossible to kill all the Scots, if that is the case; but serious violations of national laws may even be labeled as crimes against humanity. In other words, in the future, Scotland will still be governed by Scots; the people who live there will only
Could be Scottish.
In order to appease the anger of the Scots, it is necessary to find a few scapegoats. If you express your stance at this time, don't you hit the muzzle of the gun! In the eyes of the English, although Scotland was born from a younger mother, they have been in the same country for a long time.
There is still a little bit of affection; I am definitely closer than others.
Parading on the streets, especially at this time, is a serious act of causing trouble. But there are reasons for it, and there should be forgiveness. Is the woman in front of me too extreme? You must know that the people marching on the streets are ordinary civilians.
Even if there are intelligence organizations from other countries behind the scenes, the only thing is to find the people; why use force against your own people?
Of course the Iron Lady knows what you all mean, but she must not be merciful at this time; to be precise, the UK cannot afford to delay it. After all, the supply of materials on the front line must be given priority; and Scotland is a very important one.
As the chaos continues, the frontline soldiers are unable to fight the Argentine army.
In the past, when the Scots marched, they always chose negotiation; at 10 Downing Street, or in other words, England would take a step back, and the matter would be resolved. But that was only when the country was not fighting a foreign enemy and had the time and energy to resolve and coordinate.
.
When the British Empire is facing life and death, the Scots are still doing this; they must pay the price. Let the Scots understand that it was not the English who were easy to talk to before, but they did not want to cause too much trouble.
There is no other way to kill the chicken to scare the monkey. Although she does not want to take extreme measures, the Iron Lady knows very well that the British Empire has no choice.
In fact, everyone understands that the reason why the Scots are like this has a lot to do with this prime minister.
Since the 1970s, political factions in Scotland have tended to be on the left; they are a die-hard supporter of the Labor Party, because the Labor Party, formerly the British Trade Union Congress, emphasizes class cooperation; it prefers to focus on physical manufacturing to ensure full employment; and promotes the development of social welfare.
The economic structure of Scotland is dominated by heavy industry.
However, after experiencing the economic crisis in the 1970s, the Labor government stepped down. After Thatcher came to power, she began to monopolize power and adopted radical economic reform methods. This not only caused severe damage to the industry in Scotland, but also dealt a blow to the Conservative Party's opponent Labor Party.
As a result, the Scottish MPs have less and less say in the London Parliament, which is equivalent to indirectly destroying the balance of the British political ecology. As a representative of the right-wing Conservative Party, it is difficult for Mrs. Thatcher to take care of the interests of the Scots.
Thatcher's deindustrialization reforms shifted the focus of the economy to the financial industry; the heavy industry that had won Scotland's global economic reputation for more than a century basically disappeared in just a few years.
In three years, Scotland lost nearly one-third of its manufacturing capacity, causing a large number of workers to lose their jobs. With the reduction of social welfare, the gap between the rich and the poor suddenly became a chasm; for a time, survival became a problem, suicides were committed, and the crime rate increased sharply.
Even so, Scotland will still have to endure further blood-sucking from England; in particular, the revenue from oil and gas exports from North Sea oil fields is almost included in British fiscal taxes, leaving very little share for Scotland.
This has caused Scotland to begin to receive disproportionate economic returns from the UK; in the past ten years, Scotland has not only had to bear the pain of the declining manufacturing industry in the UK as a whole; it has also had to bear the negative impact of the new economic policy.
In fact; since the Iron Lady became Prime Minister, Britain's power, influence and wealth began to transfer to London. The whole process was disgusting to the Scots but unstoppable; Westminster also gradually moved from the United Kingdom Parliament to the United Kingdom Parliament.
It became the London Parliament; Scotland became the backcountry beyond Hadrian's Wall.
Some well-known scholars have commented that what Mrs Thatcher did was tantamount to a disaster for Scotland.
But this kind of thing must not be said. To be precise, I dare not say it; the Iron Lady is already red-eyed at this moment, and whoever advises will be in trouble. Of course, there are people who understand her difficulties and do not seek political advice if she is not in her position; if she were the British Prime Minister, she would
will make the same choice.
Once the Scottish riots spread to the entire British Isles, the country will inevitably be divided; by then, the so-called British Empire will only have England, plus Wales at most. The Falkland Islands will definitely not be able to hold it; even if we attack it now
The Argentines will not be able to support themselves in the future if they quit.
At the same time, the British Empire simply cannot afford the serious consequences of losing Scotland. The supply of oil and natural gas alone will seriously restrict the development of England. In recent years, the British economy has developed rapidly; not only economic reforms have played a role.
No one can erase Scotland's contribution to this. A large part of the reason for London's extravagance and extravagance was gained at the expense of Scotland's interests.
Iron Lady: "I know what you are thinking, but at this moment I am still the Prime Minister of the British Empire; you must act according to my orders."
"Order the 7th Armored Brigade to end its rest and recuperation and suppress the Scottish riots."
Resolute and heroic, no matter how you call her an Iron Lady, she is not too friendly. But she is not so friendly to the Scots. You must know that the 7th Armored Brigade is the elite force of the United Kingdom and has a great reputation.
The 7th Armored Brigade, formerly known as the 7th Armored Division, was a famous British armored force during World War II. Due to its outstanding performance in the North African Campaign, it was nicknamed the Desert Rats.
On the battlefield in North Africa, the division's emblem was a red circle set off by a white cloth strip. The division commander felt that it was too monotonous, so he asked his wife to redesign the emblem based on a local small animal - the jerboa. Later, as the emblem was used on the North African battlefield
The division played a vital role in the war, and the Desert Rats became the name of the division.
As the war progressed, two brigades of the British Army's 7th Armored Division, the 4th and 7th Brigades, were sent to Sicily, Italy to fight Burma respectively; the emblem of the 4th Brigade was also changed to a black jerboa emblem, and the 7th Brigade was
It should have become the green jerboa badge. Later, these two units continued to use it and became the ace unit of the Army.
In the 1960s, due to the reorganization of the Rhine Corps, the 7th Armored Division was demobilized and downgraded to the 7th Armored Brigade. It was then sent to Germany permanently and did not return to the UK until the merger of the two Germanys. It had just returned to China and was still on leave; such an elite force
, will probably be sent to the Falkland Islands front line later.
Unexpectedly, the Iron Lady was actually preparing to send out this ace unit, which made everyone at the scene incredibly moved. Even if it was classified as a riot, the police would just come forward; it would be too extreme to directly send out elite troops. If the army fails to control their emotions, it is likely to cause
Massive bloodshed and sacrifice.
At that time, the British Empire will inevitably be condemned by the international community and is likely to lose the support of the people.
But as the Iron Lady said, she is still the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom; as a subordinate, she can only choose to execute orders.
Seeing that everyone was not very willing, the Iron Lady continued: "I know what you are worried about, but at the moment the British Empire has no choice."
"No one can afford the serious consequences of Scottish independence, including the royal family."
When the royal family was specifically mentioned, everyone immediately understood what it meant; at the same time, they knew very well that some things could only be discussed behind closed doors.
It shows that the Iron Lady has obtained the authorization from the royal family, and at least the royal family has no objection; just implement the order resolutely. A smooth prime minister, an iron-clad royal family; there are some things that the royal family does not say, indicating acquiescence; but when it needs to take responsibility, the royal family must not be moved out.
If that were the case, there would be no room for relaxation at all.
Even if the final result is unsatisfactory, or even terrible, it is enough for the Prime Minister to take responsibility. The royal family can pretend that it does not know, and it can be considered as an explanation to the people.
And at critical moments, the royal family can come out to clean up the mess and mediate conflicts.
The Iron Lady has already risked her life, even risking her own political career; they still have nothing to hesitate; their eyes have become firmer. As the core of power in the British Empire, no woman has taken the responsibility at the critical moment; speaking out is simply a
What a joke, outsiders think there are no men left in Britain!
