Soviet Union 1991

Third update

The Soviet Propaganda Department was well versed in smearing others. Under Yanayev's instruction, newspapers controlled by the Soviet Propaganda Department quickly published extensive reports on the possible referendum in the UK. Suddenly John Major appeared on the front pages of the Moscow Daily News more often than any other Soviet leader.

However, the Soviet propaganda department would not persuade them to stay in the EU. Instead, they reported the matter in a panic tone. They described Britain's departure from the EU as a very terrible thing, even more terrible than the Nazis back then.

Yanayev commented in an interview with foreign reporters, "Britain's departure from the EU will greatly impact the Soviet economy and may even cause the rise of a European power. At this point, we call for efforts to keep the UK in the EU. Within the framework. Otherwise, the global financial market may be greatly shaken. Of course, it may also affect my assets in the UK, but I believe there will be no losses.”

The reporter was stunned for a moment, and then quickly asked, thinking that he could dig out a big news, "General Secretary Yanayev also has assets in the UK?"

Yanayev nodded and said humorously, "Of course, I have zero fixed assets in the UK."

This interesting and humorous interview was widely circulated in the British mainland. Many people had a good impression of Yanayev's humor, but they mostly remembered the previous words of the leader of the great power, Britain After exiting the EU, it will be possible to regain the financial and monetary hegemony in the European region. This is simply a glorious dream for the people of England and Wales. They also dream of making the UK independent from the EU.

However, Scotland and Northern Ireland strongly resist the move to leave the EU. They believe that only within the framework of the EU, it will be more conducive to the development of the two local economies. Once they leave the EU, Scotland will not even have the right to challenge independence. This is unbearable for them.

At this time, Scotland, instigated by the KGB forces, began anti-secession operations. Salmond even warned the London government that if a referendum was really held, Scotland would also hold a referendum, and vowed that what they said was true. , Prime Minister Major would do well not to let the United Kingdom lose any part of it.

Under the Soviet Union's vigorous propaganda, almost all people around the world focused their attention on the upcoming referendum. At this time, John Major, who originally wanted to use this to blackmail the European Union, found that he had no way out.

Either hold a referendum or announce his resignation. This is the terrible situation that John Major is currently facing. Even so, the problems facing John Major are still difficult to solve.

"Sometimes the best way to escape a problem is to drink away your sorrows. Prime Minister John Major, how many bottles of wine have you drunk?" Sir Terence, who was visiting John Major, picked up the empty bottles rolling on the floor. , placed him on the table again, which was already filled with various empty bottles, as well as the drunken Prime Minister Major.

He sighed, found a seat next to him, and said earnestly, "Prime Minister, look at what you are like now. Avoiding problems is not the only way to solve it. I hope you can make a decision as soon as possible. After all, the whole The cabinet is relying on your decision."

Prime Minister Major glared at Sir Terence with his red eyes from drinking, pointed his finger at him, and lost control of his emotions, "Bullshit! You encouraged me to instigate a farce of an independence referendum, and now you are pretending to let me Make a decision as soon as possible? I have never seen such a shameless guy. Don't forget that you initiated this farce."

Sir Terence replied very calmly, "But the Prime Minister decided to do this, didn't he? It means that you also support this action. Even if you don't say it in your heart, you have been unhappy with the people in the EU for a long time, right? ”

"But not in this way, look at the dire situation we face now," Prime Minister Major roared.

"That's enough, John Major, now is not the time for you to act rude. Do you really think there is much benefit in continuing to stay within the framework of the European Union? Germany and France make huge profits every year from within the framework of the European Union." At least 20% was contributed by us. But what did the UK gain? Nothing. The Americans used us to control the EU, and now they don’t want to give us blood transfusions when the economy is not good, and we have to subsidize it ourselves. EU? What a dream!”

For the first time, the Permanent Undersecretary revealed his true colors in front of John Major, "It can be said that our stay in the EU is a complete failure. Don't forget what the tradition of the British Empire is. To maintain strategic balance in Europe, Don't have a strong guy, or let's say, don't have a unified, strong Europe. Now the EU is moving towards this step, and we shouldn't be the puppets of others, nor should we be the puppets of the Americans."

After listening to Sir Terence's answer, Prime Minister Major finally understood why he was so supportive of his referendum action. It turned out that everything was preparation for his own ulterior purpose.

"Prime Minister Major, we have no retreat now. Do you want to resign and pass the blame to the next prime minister? I think the other party is not a fool. He cannot pay for what you have done. It is time to make a decision. , let the EU know that our threat is not just a threat, but a fact." Terrence further threatened British Prime Minister Major, letting him know that the London government has no way out under such circumstances.

Major didn't speak. Faced with such a terrible situation, he couldn't muster the energy to argue with Terrence anymore. His only idea was to end this farce as soon as possible.

Major waved his hand and murmured to himself, "Just take care of yourself, Sir Terence. You just thought that we would gain economic independence after leaving the EU, but you didn't see one thing clearly."

"What's the matter?" Terrence asked pretending to be relaxed.

"That's the British voters. Don't forget that we don't monopolize all rights in this country. Have you considered the various social problems that will arise from the referendum?"

John Major, who had red eyes, patted him on the shoulder, smelled of alcohol, and approached the bewildered Sir Terence, keeping his eyes fixed on him, "If it gets serious, it may even cause the division of the United Kingdom. Are you willing to become a historical sinner of Great Britain?" (To be continued.)
