Chapter 748: Are You Trying to Put Your Hand Into Europe?

Take the EF2000 typhoon as a practice, let the United Kingdom, Germany, Italy and Spain contribute money and technology together, and accumulate more experience and technical foundation for the Oriental Union version of the F22, the fourth-generation advanced fighter J-20 that has entered the pre-research stage, Yang Weiping will certainly not miss this kind of good thing.

Before the EF2000, there were not many aircraft developed by multiple countries. And there are even fewer cooperation projects related to national security such as heavy fighters. Thus, it can be said that EF2000 ushered in a new era in the field of the military industry.

As far as Yang Weiping knows, the previous EF2000 has many world-class advanced technologies. For example, GEC-Marconi has ECR90 multi-function pulse-puller radar/advanced integrated paving self-defense subsystem DASS, infrared search/tracking system IRST, and also has a highly integrated automated cockpit display system with helmet display, voice control system and other control systems, as well as the STANG3838 NATO standard number JΓ™ bus.

In addition, the twin-shaft reheated EJ200 turbofan engine with full power digital control system and fuel management system, normal thrust of 60 kN and afterburner thrust of up to 90 kN, is also a fairly advanced military turbofan engine with a high thrust-to-weight ratio.

The EJ200 engine adopts a number of unique technologies, which makes this engine smaller and simpler than the existing WS-TG series engines of OUCC in terms of layout, and the fuel consumption is also more economical.

Now that the French have withdrawn from the EFA program and want to develop their Rafale fighter on their own, Yang Weiping will definitely not mind letting OUCC replace France and participate in the EFA program throughout the process.

Mrs. Thatcher finally breathed a sigh of relief when she heard Yang Weiping confidently patting her chest and guaranteeing the ticket, and grabbed the end of Yang Weiping's words while the iron was hot, and said calmly: "Yang." The head of the EFA program is in Mandalay right now, and if you don't mind, I can arrange for him to come and see you right away. ”

Yang Weiping pretended to groan, thought for a while, and then said with a stern expression: "Madam, after you mentioned the EFA plan to me last time. I specifically asked someone to find out about the cause and effect of this plan. The French have always had their own unique strategic insights, and they hope to focus on air superiority missions in the direction of the FEA's development according to their own strategic deployment and needs, and limit the weight of fighters.

In my personal opinion, there is no right or wrong way for the French to speak of this philosophy. Britain, Germany, Italy, and Spain hope to develop a balanced long-range multirole fighter, and this idea is also in line with the development trend of modern advanced fighters. On this point, I agree with the latter.

Since my wife looks up to me Yang Weiping, she hopes that I can participate in the EFA program. So. I think it's better for OUCC to replace France and make OUCC a member of the EFA program. Because this kind of state behavior is far more meaningful than my participation in my personal name. ”

Mrs. Thatcher did not answer immediately, but looked directly at Yang Weiping very calmly.

Allowing OUCC to participate in the EFA program is the same as asking Yang Weiping to personally come forward to guide the EFA program, its internal significance and international impact. It's completely different.

Once this plan is implemented, it means that OUCC will be in place for a long time. A loose paramilitary alliance was formed with four European countries: the United Kingdom, the Federal Republic of Germany, Italy, and Spain. It is also equivalent to allowing OUCC to reach into Europe.

The reason why the British government decided to take the lead in proposing the FAP test plane program, which aims to develop the next generation of advanced fighters in cooperation with European countries, explicitly excluded the United States from this program, was that it did not want to continue to expand the influence of the United States in Europe.

At the juncture when the "Jack Wieson incident" in the East United States has just ended, is it a bit of a slap in the face of the Americans to let the East Union participate in the EFA program?

"Yang, you are carrying out reforms to Andropov. What do you think?" Margaret Thatcher suddenly changed the subject.

Yang Weiping was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then couldn't help but feel sincerely impressed by Margaret Thatcher's sensitive sense of political affairs.

"Perhaps, I can try to change the current relationship between the Soviet Union and Europe. Yang Weiping also smiled indifferently in response to the question: "The ongoing socialist reform with Chinese characteristics in China has already had a great impact on Andropov. And with the bilateral relations and foreign policies between the two countries that have just been formally established between the Eastern Union and Huaxia, I can tell Mrs. SΓΉ very responsibly. China's economic reform and development speed is about to usher in an unprecedented high tide.

Based on this situation, I can be absolutely sure that Andropov and other high-level leaders of the CPSU will no longer be touched, but will have a far-reaching influence of epoch-making historical significance! The world will no longer be divided by color! Realistic national interests will inevitably transcend the influence of ideology/consciousness/shape/state!

The Europeans should promote the construction of European integration, which is to further strengthen the political, economic and cultural relations between European countries, enhance the EU's political influence and economic competitiveness abroad, improve the level of international political and economic cooperation, strengthen the formation and development of the multipolar trend in the world, and completely break the historical needs of the Cold War antagonism between the United States and the Soviet Union!

NATO and the Warsaw Pact, an alliance of countries formed during the historical period of the Cold War, will inevitably withdraw from the stage of history with the development of world economic integration and European integration. And the reintegration of the USSR into Europe would be the first and most important step in the ice-breaking journey of achieving European integration in the true sense of the word, creating a great European Union, and even unifying the European currency with the euro!"

"Yang, promote European integration, establish the European Union, issue the euro, the Eastern Union, or what do you want from it?" asked Margaret Thatcher, looking at Yang Weiping quietly.

Of course, I especially want to completely drive the US imperialists out of Europe and let the Eastern Union replace the US imperialists!

With such a thought, of course, Yang Weiping could not tell the truth to the British Prime Minister Iron Lady in front of him.

"Strengthen the circulation of the Asian dollar in Europe, realize the complementarity of the Asian dollar and the euro, and then make the Asian dollar one of the world's settlement currencies!" Yang Weiping replied with a smile: "Madam, are you satisfied with this answer?"

Margaret Thatcher turned slowly, looked at the huge group of warships moored in the military port, and was silent.

Ending divisions, uniting Europe, and enjoying peace forever is the dream of the advocates of European unity, and it is also the highest goal that Margaret Thatcher has long pursued.

The European integration process, that is, the European integration construction proposed by Yang Weiping, has gone through three stages of development: coal and steel joint ventures, customs unions, and unified markets. The Economic and Monetary Union is still in the midst of a heated debate among European politicians.

In Margaret Thatcher's heart, in accordance with the principle of economy first and politics second, it is her ambition to strive for the second half of her life to promote the transition from economic integration to political integration in Europe, and to build the European Union, led by Britain, into a consortium of countries with the highest integration and the strongest comprehensive strength in the world.

However, the ideal is plump, and the reality is too skinny.

From the moment a person is born, he or she is slightly influenced by the circumstances in which he or she is born. In the social environment in which he lives, various group behavior patterns affect their own behavior and thinking patterns little by little, and they constantly adjust and revise their behavior to be as consistent with society as possible.

The concept of family and state is the most common and basic concept of human society, and it is also the concept that people first established. If these basic beliefs are broken, people will become overwhelmed and even lose some kind of spiritual support. Because these basic ideas are the basis for human beings to maintain their social relations, and they are the soul of people's participation in social activities.

Margaret Thatcher was well aware that the process of European unity, or the development of European integration, had an extremely enormous impact on the peoples of Europe involved, both in terms of concept and behavior. This is also the fundamental reason why many Europeans have been reluctant to agree with the European integration process.

In the hearts of these Europeans, there is still a permanent primitive national concept of human beings. In the face of the development of the European integration process, they cannot find sustenance, a home, or a sense of identity. Margaret Thatcher believed, however, that over time, while breaking with the old notions of the state, Europe would eventually establish a new notion of "statehood" that more and more Europeans would identify with and gradually move towards a new cultural unity.

In addition to this, European integration raises another problem, namely the question of cultural diversity in European countries.

In the early stage of human development, under the influence of various natural and social conditions, human beings lived in various places and had relatively large cultural exchanges. As a result, each region and country has gradually formed its own cultural traditions. With the development of European integration, the cultural boundaries of various countries and regions will definitely be broken, and it will be difficult for minorities to stick to their national cultures.

The development of modern means of transportation and communication has increased the communication between people in various regions and countries, and at the same time, it has become more and more convenient, and people in various regions and countries have begun to converge. While mutual understanding and tolerance of different cultures, they also gradually lost their identity with their own national culture.

Therefore, in order to achieve European integration, it is necessary to promote development in cultural diversity. In order to protect the languages of various countries and maintain the equality of Chinese languages, it is necessary to spend a lot of manpower, material resources and energy to build a large translation platform.

When Margaret Thatcher asked Yang Weiping what the best solution was to these two major problems, Yang Weiping replied quite simply: "The idea of European unity must be based on the unity and diversity of Europe and form common values." In turn, a common cultural and ideological origin and cultural identity can be generated, and only in this way can the continuity of the original culture be maintained. ”

Thatcher was very satisfied.

After confirming that Margaret Thatcher supported and agreed with the promotion of European integration, Yang Weiping also secretly became proud in his heart.

Let you engage in the EU first, and my brother will pay attention to it and learn from its experience to prepare for the establishment of the Asian Union in the future. (To be continued......) I1292
