The G20 summit held in Cannes invited the leaders of the world's 20 largest economies, including the United States, Japan, China, Germany, France, the United Kingdom and other major economies. The leader of a country like Greece may never be invited, but this time "benefiting" from France and Germany, Papandreou was fortunate enough to be at the G20.

Strictly speaking, this way of meeting is a bit humiliating. But for Papandreou, this is also a helpless thing, after all, Greece is a small country, not rich, and now is the time to ask for help, so he has to put off the other itinerary that has been arranged and hurry to Cannes, France.

The so-called "small countries have no diplomacy" is just that.

Despite his strongly worded speech at the Athens airport, Papandreou knew in his heart that time was running out for him. Because whether or not to resign is not controlled by his will, in addition to domestic opinions, it is also influenced by the will of the heads of European powers such as France and Germany.

"Mr. Prime Minister, please come here!"

When his plane had just landed at Nice Airport, the security personnel who had been waiting at the airport immediately greeted him respectfully, guiding him to the convoy that had been waiting for him, and then the convoy headed straight for Cannes.

Although there is an airport in Cannes, that airport is private and it is difficult to land without a reservation. So generally to Cannes, the plane lands in Nice, France, and then arrives in Cannes after dozens of minutes by car.

Papandreou is naturally no exception.

Under the opening of the police motorcycle, the convoy drove very fast, and it only took more than ten minutes to complete the whole process. However, after arriving in the city, the speed of the convoy did not slow down much, and drove directly into the hotel where the French president was staying amid the sound of sirens.

The President of France and the Chancellor of Germany have been waiting in a highly confidential conference room in this hotel for a long time.

"George, you're here!"

When Papandreou walked into the conference room. The French president only owed a slight debt and greeted the other party.

To Papandreou's great embarrassment, the German chancellor did not seem to have seen him come in, not only did not say a word, but even did not give a greeting to him.

He suddenly chuckled in his heart, and secretly said that it was not good.

"Hi. Nikolai. ”

His face remained unchanged, and he returned the salute to the French president, and at the same time did not forget to greet the German female chancellor, "Hello, Ingres." ”

The German female chancellor finally reacted a little this time, nodded slightly to the other party, and waved her hand at the same time to signal the other party to take a seat.

This room is not very large, it can accommodate about seven or eight people. In the center of the room is a circular conference table. The German Chancellor and the President of France sat on one side, while the female Chancellor motioned for Papandreou to sit directly opposite them.

Silently putting on the simultaneous translator on the table, Papandreou began to be cross-examined by the two.

"Tell me, why do you want to launch a referendum?"

As soon as she sat down, the German chancellor began to wonder, "Are you dissatisfied with the new aid package, or do you have any other plans?" ”

"Ingres, you may not know the situation in our country!"

For this issue. Papandreou had been prepared for a long time, and immediately poured out the bitter waterway. "Even though I was elected to power, it doesn't mean that I was the one I wanted, but that my previous government did a really bad job, so I got this position by chance."

"This means that I don't represent the broad public opinion at all, so I have to be strongly constrained in many decisions. For example, in the case of the second round of aid negotiations with the EU, my cabinet and I agreed that this would be the case. These conditions are not unacceptable. But these truths are difficult to explain to ordinary people, who are already spoiled children, and any reduction in spending is tantamount to snatching their candy. ”

"In total, there have been 800 demonstrations and strikes across Greece this year, an average of more than two per day, and the entire country's economy has suffered a huge blow. What they don't know is. The more this happens, the more the government cuts spending, and it is they who suffer the most. Although we have explained this through various media, for the short-sighted population they simply cannot understand it, let alone support us. ”

"If this continues, it's going to get very, very bad. Rather than this, it is better for the people to suffer the consequences of their own choices. If the final referendum does lead to the bankruptcy of the Greek government, they will have to suffer not only the consequences of the loss of welfare, but also the deterioration of social conditions caused by anarchy. ”

"That's what I thought!"

After talking freely for a long time, Papandreou finally spread his hands and said helplessly, "You two, if you were in my position, you might think the same way as me." ”

"Wrong, this is a sign that you are shirking your political responsibilities and not taking responsibility!"

Although it has been said a lot, it is obviously impossible to convince the two leaders with this little thing. The German chancellor said even more vigorously, "Since you are the government elected by the Greek people, you have the right to make the right choice on behalf of the Greek people." Even if most people don't understand it, as long as it is good for the country in the long run, you and your cabinet have an obligation to take on this responsibility. At least at this point, you are not a qualified politician. ”

The German chancellor is well aware of this. When Europe's debt fermentation was at its worst, the German government was always hesitant about bailing out other eurozone countries, and the German people's opposition to the bailout has never stopped. But in the end, after the German government and the Reichstag passed a unanimous agreement, the female chancellor intervened in the European rescue operation with a very strong posture and quickly became a mainstay.

At least in this respect, female prime ministers have done better than many male leaders.

Papandreou's words were difficult to convince the French president, but he did not act as agitated as the German Chancellor, just shook his head and sighed.

"Anyway, after all, this is the choice of the Greek people, and I'm afraid it's hard for outsiders to say anything, right?"

His face was cloudy and uncertain for a long time. Eventually, Papandreou changed his tone and suddenly became tougher, "Everything I do, at least within the Greek constitution, is permissible. In addition, these decisions were also passed by Congress. Completely legal and reasonable. Even though you are a core member of the EU, it is impossible for you to dictate our domestic affairs, right? ”

Perhaps irritated by the German chancellor, or perhaps realizing that his previous rhetoric of pleasing sympathy was useless, Papandreou's attitude suddenly changed a hundred and eighty degrees.

“……”

The French president, who was about to reconcile the atmosphere between the two, couldn't help but snort coldly after hearing this, and his already frowning brow was now even higher.

"Really?"

Sure enough, for the German female chancellor with a strong personality, Papandreou's remarks were simply provocative. This was like adding fuel to the fire, which immediately caused her to fight back even more fiercely, "If you think that the European Council resolution is interfering in Greece's internal affairs, then I suggest that you withdraw from the eurozone immediately." Then we don't have to worry about you, and you don't have to look at us, we are all happy! ”

"A country like yours is not eligible to join the eurozone in the first place!"

Without waiting for the other party to answer, the German female chancellor continued to taunt. "A socialist country, in order to squeeze into the largest monetary union in the world. We have not yet criticized this selfish behavior, and you still have the face to say that it is your internal affair? ”

"Shame on you! If you are still obsessed with not being able to contribute to the alliance as a whole, and you are holding back. Even now that you have canceled the referendum. Then I suggest you go back and hold a referendum again. Anyway, whether the referendum is or not, we don't want any more members like you. ”

Indeed, according to Papandreou's logic, it is only natural that Germany should ignore the lives of other countries, so that the eurozone will soon fall apart in the event of a debt crisis.

Individuals, institutions or countries that only want rights but do not fulfill their obligations. It is a universal truth that you will be disliked wherever you go, because the essence of this world is equivalent exchange, and there is no pie in vain in the sky.

Papandreou was tempted to blurt out, "Quit, quit!" But when he saw the German Chancellor's solemn expression, he couldn't help but panic in his heart, and he had to swallow back the words that came to his mouth.

If it is true, then he is the sinner of the whole of Greece, and this responsibility is far more serious than the referendum, and he does not dare to bear this crime.

"Okay, everyone, be quiet, we are going to solve the problem, not to exacerbate the conflict!"

At this time, the French president had to speak out, "You two are so vindictive will not help solve the problem, on the contrary, it will intensify the contradictions, and it is really unnecessary to say these angry words like a child's childishness!" ”

The other two immediately stopped talking.

Originally, the two of them were already like fire and water, but now that there is a step down, the two of them naturally accept it when they see it, after all, they don't want things to fall into a situation that can't be managed.

From Germany's point of view, it is of great significance to maintain the unity of the eurozone, because although the eurozone has experienced many problems since its establishment, on the whole the advantages still outweigh the disadvantages, and the resources and funds of the whole of Europe have been effectively combined to create the world's largest economy.

As for Greece, now in the midst of a payment crisis, they have to turn to the European Union for help, or they will be on the verge of bankruptcy. Although they know very well that their behavior is shameless, they have no better way than the two thighs of the EU and the IMF.

"At least for now, the problem is temporarily solved!"

Seeing that the two were no longer talking, the French president began to play his own role, "The main purpose of our summoning you this time is to want to know if there are any other reasons besides all the reasons you have said before?" ”

"What the hell do you mean by that?"

Papandreou was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously asked, "Do you think there are other reasons besides the reasons I said?" ”

"Is there any other reason, you know best in your own heart!"

A mocking look appeared on the face of the German female chancellor, and she sneered and said, "This decision you made. On the surface, it is all a selfless reason, but whether there is any entrainment of private goods, only you know best! ”

"What do you mean by that?"

Papandreou was furious, slammed the table, stood up and yelled at the other party, "You make it clear to me." What selfish motives do I have in this matter? ”

An ass in a lion's skin!

At this time, his inner activity can only be described in such a word.

But after thinking about it for a while, he thought about the whole process of the transaction with Zhong Shi carefully, and finally determined that no one would reveal the reason that was the most hidden, so he dared to take the case and express his dissatisfaction to the other party.

Judging by his side, no one will betray him. Judging from Zhongshi's side, it is even more impossible for the other party to reveal half a point, because this thing will definitely anger the leaders of the European Union, according to Zhongshi's IQ. Never do anything like that.

So he judged that the German female chancellor was bluffing.

When his sharp gaze swept over the French president on the side, he found that the other party was also joking, and he was indifferent to his excited actions at all. Secretly, he couldn't help but chuckle in his heart again, and his heart couldn't stop sinking.

"Since you don't admit it, then come up with evidence!"

Seeing that the other party was still stubbornly resisting, the German female chancellor waved her hand impatiently, made a random gesture, and soon a picture appeared on the opposite wall of the round table. The character in the picture is none other than Soros.

"This ......"

After barely seeing all the content in the picture, Papandreou was already pale. Sweating like pulp, he would only unconsciously repeat himself, "These are all rumors, they are all slanders, and there is nothing at all!" ”

"Whether it's the truth or not, we'll find out. You're not far from stepping down anyway! ”

The German female chancellor was even more unforgiving at this time, stepping on the wound of the other party again, "Maybe we will not have the opportunity to sit together and negotiate in the future." Now it's good for everyone to take this opportunity to figure out all the reasons. ”

She had made up her mind that as long as this thing passed. He used his influence in the EU to remove Papandreou from power.

"Hahaha......"

Papandreou suddenly burst into laughter, tears pouring down his cheeks, "Do you think that by removing me from power, Greece will reform as you wish?" Wrong, wrong, even if someone else is replaced, in the end they will still have a referendum. ”

It has to be said that Papandreou saw the Greek national character very thoroughly. Later, even after he stepped down and Greece re-elected its prime minister, the new government held a referendum on spending cuts. And later, despite the EU's repeated warnings to Greece, the Greek government at that time had become a prank, using various means to counter-threaten the EU.

But who could have predicted this now?

"We'll talk about that later!"

The French president waved his hand impatiently, stopped the other party's crazy behavior, and asked in a cold voice, "Now you can tell us whether this man named Zhongshi coerced you?" What role did he play in the whole thing? ”

The French president, who has always played the role of a red face, is also impatient at this time.

"What kind of effect?"

Papandreou sat down in his chair and replied weakly, "Don't you already know that?" As the man said, I was coerced! ”

Now that he was mastered by the other party, he naturally had nothing to hide, and he shook everything out at the moment.

"I see!"

After listening to this, the French president and the German chancellor looked at each other and gasped in unison.

They are not too surprised to use corruption to coerce each other, after all, a country like Greece would not believe it if there was no corruption at the top. To their shock, Bell Stone was nothing more than a headman, not a real mastermind.

The mastermind is the U.S. government, which makes them feel very tricky.

Originally, they thought that Huaxia was behind this matter, at least Zhongshi was behind Huaxia, but now it seems that they have guessed wrong. Getting rid of an American puppet and getting rid of a Chinese puppet are two different things.

In this way, their actions against Zhong Shi will have to be re-planned. (To be continued.) )
