Soviet Union 1991

This is counted as the first update on the 25th (Pu x has been used as a harmonious word. If it appears too many times, the chapter may be locked, so Vladimir was used instead.)

Just when France and Germany were still thinking about how to plot against each other on the issue of Britain's departure from the European Union, the Soviet KGB took a liking to the Scottish National Party, the representative of Scottish independence. Comrade Vladimir, the newly appointed deputy director of the KGB's First Bureau He put forward his own opinion. He suggested that Yanayev encourage the Scottish people to hold a referendum when the UK is in chaos. Even if Scotland is not separated in the end, it can make the senior officials in Downing Street break out in a cold sweat.

In the late 1960s, with the discovery and exploration of North Sea oil fields, the Scots realized that they had to share the huge wealth brought by oil with the rest of the UK, which made them feel deeply unfair.

So in 1974, the Scottish National Party, which advocated Scottish independence, won an unprecedented 7 seats in the British Parliament. The party again won 11 seats in another general election that year. Then Margaret Thatcher, the Iron Lady who opposed Scottish independence, came to power, and the Scottish independence movement was thwarted.

In the 1980s, the Conservative government led by Thatcher proposed a compromise that would allow Scotland to have regional parliaments, but the central government would retain the power to abolish them. Although this plan was opposed by the ultra-independent elements of the Scottish National Party, it was accepted by most political parties in Scotland.

"In 1997, just six months later, the UK held a referendum on the Scottish Regional Assembly Bill, and this time 75% of voters would accept the compromise. In 1998, the British government announced the Scotland Bill, which determined Recovery disappeared for nearly three A hundred years of Scottish Parliament." Yanayev was flipping through the information while recalling the history he had been exposed to. Although it is still unclear whether a referendum will be held in 1997, if he adds fuel to the fire now, he may be able to encourage Scottish independence. uncertain.

Thinking of this, Yanayev put down the heavy Cambridge History in his hand and turned his head to look out the window. The appointment of Deputy Director Vladimir brought fresh blood to the KGB, and the plan to "encourage the Scottish people to referendum" that the conservative Kryuchkov opposed was proposed by Vladimir.

As an outstanding KGB agent, Gravelie's first target was Scottish MP Alex Salmond. As a staunch supporter of Scottish independence, Salmond has been campaigning for Scottish independence almost since the 1970s. Especially after becoming the leader of the opposition party, Salmond began to further think about how to get the Scottish people to agree to a referendum on independence.

Salmond's ambition coincided with the KGB's purpose, which became the premise for Comrade Vladimir to send Gravelle agents to secretly contact Salmond. Of course, when Gravelier entered Scotland as an oil businessman, he avoided unnecessary attention from the outside world.

Gravellette made a special trip to visit Salmond's residence. He also specially selected a day for Salmond to rest and carefully prepared two gifts, one for his wife Moira and the other for Salmond. A special gift of virtue.

When the doorbell rang, Moira walked quickly to the door and asked softly who it was?

"Is it Ms. Moira? I am a friend of Senator Salmond, and my name is Henry." Gravelier said softly. He could imitate a British gentleman with ease. With a well-fitted suit and a standard Scottish accent, he almost The fake stuff was so confusing that no one thought this "gentleman" was a Soviet spy.

Seeing that the other party could accurately name herself and her husband, Moira opened the door without warning. Gravelier walked in and handed the flowers in his hand to Moira, "This beautiful bouquet of flowers is natural." To the equally beautiful lady.”

A quiet flattery, but it made Moira feel doubly useful. She said to the man named Henry, "Then please wait a moment, Mr. Salmond is currently in the study."

"Okay ma'am." Gravelier is like a skilled fisherman who knows when to let out the line and when to pull up the hook. When Salmond appeared in front of "Henry", he frowned because he didn't seem to have seen this oil businessman from the North Sea oil fields.

"Who are you?" Salmond asked very dissatisfied. "Why do you lie about knowing me? I don't know you at all. Please get out of our house, otherwise I will call the police now."

Gravelier did not make too many moves, but got to the core most directly, "When I visited Sir Mathewson a few days ago, I discussed with him the possibility of Scottish independence. Now I want to know about Salmond. What do MPs think about Scotland's independence? After all, you have been fighting for the future of the entire country for nearly 20 years."

"So what do you want to express?" Salmond asked warily.

"What I want to express is very simple. How determined is Mr. Salmond to make Scotland independent from Great Britain? Mr. Salmond has promised the voters of Scotland that once your National Party takes power, it will be done within 100 days. I don’t think Mr. Salmond has forgotten about proposing an independence referendum to the British government?”

Salmond nodded, and the whole of Great Britain knew his intention to separate Scotland. Salmond replied firmly, "Of course I have not forgotten it, and I will not forget it, because this is our political belief, and I rely on it." We have only reached where we are today. Look what these English people have done to us, seizing our oil resources and repeatedly cutting off our oil dividends. The capital of all evils is England!”

"Yes, I also hope that Scotland can break away from the damn Great Britain. We have acquired these people's endless greed and endless desire for Scotland's rich oil resources. We must change something. This is what I stand for today. Here’s to supporting your cause, Councilor Salmond.”

Perhaps moved by Henry's persistence, Salmond canceled the idea of ​​calling the police and instead invited the uninvited guest to the living room for a chat. After all, it was the first time in a long time that he met a common ally who could fully express his inner thoughts.

"Now that the Scottish political parties lack an opportunity, we will use this opportunity to win the foundation for Scottish independence. I wonder if Mr. Symond understands that this EU referendum is our best opportunity?"

Gravelier's words made Salmond realize something. He was eager to know what kind of means the North Sea oil field businessman in front of him had to make Scotland independent from the damn Great Britain. (To be continued.)
