30多年前,英国曾经举行了一次绝密演习——模拟第三次世界大战的爆发。英国《每日邮报》不久前刊文披露了这次演习的有关情况。1981年3月,就在苏联人对英国发动了四天空袭,并杀死了格拉斯哥、利物浦、曼彻斯特和南安普顿等城市的数百人之后,英国首相玛格丽特·撒切尔夫人需要面对一个最终的决定。在她的办公桌上摆着一封欧洲盟军最高统帅的信,信中请求授权向铁幕的那一边发动核攻击。撒切尔夫人对自己的同僚说,从来没有一个英国内阁面临“这样一个严峻的选择”。

Thatcher said to his colleagues that there has never been a British cabinet facing “such a serious choice.”
