To be honest, Zhou Nan was reluctant to go, but he couldn't answer like this. "Of course. As a wanderer from the Far East, I myself have been trained in different cultures, and I have my own tolerance for all cultures. If there is such a need on the Soviet side, if there is an invitation, I will gladly go. ”

But at this stage, the powerful leader probably doesn't have much heart to deal with Zhou Nan. No matter how famous Zhou Nan is, he is only among ordinary people, and he is only a scholar at most.

Unless it is according to the development of history, all these things that Zhou Nan talked about have become reality, and at that time, Zhou Nan's status is unshakable.

However, it will take at least three or four years, and at that time, the curtain of the Cold War has been opened, and Zhou Nan will receive more attention in the West, even if they are invited, Zhou Nan may not be able to make the trip.

A journalist from France asked: "Mr. Zhou, the coal and steel consortium is indeed an exciting cooperation, but the current national hatred between France and Germany has always been high, do you think this cooperation is realistic?" ”

Zhou Nan replied: "As a scholar, my vocation is to find problems, ask questions, and even give my own suggestions, but how to implement, how to implement, and what kind of problems to solve, these need to be solved by politicians from all countries." ”

"Mr. Zhou, does the concept or goal of the European Union have any chance to become a reality in your own vision?"

"Of course, I have always been convinced, but this process will not be smooth sailing, and it will require the joint efforts of European countries and all sectors of society."

"Mr. Zhou, can you tell us about your speech in Milan tomorrow?"

"Since today we are talking about the coal and steel complex, tomorrow will naturally talk about the next stage in the creation of the EU: the customs union."

"Mr. Zhou......"

……

……

Zhou Nan's speech has begun to deteriorate since France, and the original academic speech aimed at students has evolved into an analysis and solution of practical problems in the face of the whole society today.

This can certainly enhance Zhou Nan's influence, but his "predictions" have not been "verified", and this influence cannot be transformed into real ability.

There are even some people who are waiting to see Zhou Nan's jokes, wanting to see his "prediction" deviate from reality, wanting to see that his solution is just whimsical.

However, as long as they have seen Zhou Nan, they all admire his eloquence and analysis. Being able to hold more than a dozen speeches in a row, each with a different content and a substance, is something that many people simply can't do.

In particular, the scholars who communicated with Zhou Nan were all conquered by his profound knowledge.

Philosophers like Toynbee, historians like Fèvre, philosophers like Camus and Sartre have all praised Zhou Nan.

The eighty-year-old former Italian Minister of Education, Buddy Corotci, who is also the most famous Italian politician and philosopher of history in modern times, also spoke highly of Zhou Nan's "General History of the World" in the media.

He commented that "General History of the World" is the most rigorous human historiography, not only rich and rigorous in content, but more importantly, the book is not pretended to be profound, obscure, on the contrary, any ordinary person can understand it.

With his praise, for Italy, which has now entered the talent gap, no one will question Zhou Nan's knowledge at all.

His speech in Italy was a complete sensation throughout Europe, because it was the first time he had prescribed a prescription for the current situation in Europe, and it seemed to be very feasible.

Seeking the help of the United States to form a European Union is indeed something that Europe and the United States have been thinking about today, but no one has yet said it so clearly.

After the establishment of the Coal and Steel Consortium on the first day of the speech, in Milan, Zhou Nan threw out the concept of a customs union.

At the third stop, Padua, a famous education city in Italy, Zhou Nan comprehensively expounded on comprehensive industrial cooperation and the division of labor in Europe.

And in the fourth stop, at the oldest university in the world, the University of Bologna, Zhou Nan's speech turned into an economic union, and with the previous foundation, it seems that it is not so unrealistic to let the economies of European countries come together and establish a unified currency.

At the last stop, Zhou Nan came to Rome. At this time, the number of applicants to observe Zhou Nan's speech had exceeded the initial expectations, and Zhou Nan's speech was postponed by one day and arranged to be held at the Lei Liluo Grand Theater.

With 2,300 seats, it is the largest theater in Rome and has the most advanced acoustics in Europe.

On the day of the speech, there were more than 2,500 people pouring in, despite the presence of the police.

Zhou Nan's speech did not disappoint anyone, after the previous four speeches, Zhou Nan has set a complete course for the establishment of the European Union, and today, he has come up with a complete EU framework map.

The European Economic Cooperation (EEC) will set up its own audit bureau, the European Central Bank, and the European Investment Bank in addition to national governments.

It also extends to the Council, the Commission, the European Parliament, the European Court of Justice and other major institutions.

Its main function is that the European countries will pursue a common foreign and security policy and, eventually, a common defense policy.

In addition, measures such as a common fisheries policy, the establishment of a European monetary system, and the establishment of an economic and monetary union have been introduced.

Member states have handed over part of their national sovereignty to the Union, and the main direction is the economy, such as monetary and financial policies, internal markets, foreign trade, etc., making the European Union more and more like a federal state.

But the European Union is not a real State, and the European Union itself has no right to exercise the sovereignty of its member States.

Economists and politicians from all over the world were all shocked by Zhou Nan's perfect idea.

Although many of these ideas seem fanciful, such as a unified currency, I am afraid that most countries will not be able to accept. However, no one can deny that Zhou Nan's idea is very feasible.

The fact that the conditions are not ripe now does not mean that in 50 or 100 years, these things will not be possible.

Of course, these things are the framework of the European Union after Zhou Nan copied them. If he really wants to build a complete structure by himself, he has no ability.

Even now, he knows a lot of things but doesn't know why. He, a person who lives in his own world, lacks the ability and means to implement it except for having more ideas.

However, it would have been very suitable for him to open his mouth on such an occasion.

His arrival also raised the sales of the first two volumes of the General History of the World in Italy to a new level, and the total sales have exceeded 100,000 copies.

This sales volume is nothing for a bestseller, but it is unmatched in history and humanities books. Moreover, the price of this kind of book is much higher than that of the novel, and relying on these sales, at least this year's repayment pressure is gone.

In his life in the dream, he never owed a penny to others, but now he owed five million foreign debts all at once, and his heart was heavy all day long. This time, it was finally a little easier.

Today's lecture was the last in Italy, and not only was there a large number of observers, but at the strong request of the scholars, the reporters' question time was compressed, and the scholars and students were given an extra hour to ask questions.

At the end of the speech, Zhou Nan went backstage to relax for a few minutes, went to the bathroom to solve the physiological problem, and then returned to the front desk.

At this time, the people who were selected to have the opportunity to ask questions had already come to the stage. In the audience, a microphone with a cable was also pulled to facilitate those people to ask questions.

Etinny was still Zhou's assistant to the speech, responsible for maintaining order, designating questioners, and delivering the microphone to everyone.

This time, in order to take care of the Italian media, the first to be appointed was the correspondent of Corriere della Sera, Italy's largest newspaper.

Apparently in order to accommodate Zhou Nan, the reporter asked directly in German: "Mr. Zhou, if an official organization is established outside of European countries, how should the contradictions between this organization and the governments of various countries be handled, and how should the internal contradictions of the organization be arbitrated?" ”

Zhou Nan shrugged his shoulders and said: "This is an issue that governments should consider. Personally, I believe that this requires, first and foremost, the establishment of a consultative body among States. As for arbitration, the European Court of Justice, which I propose, the European Parliament, could arbitrate the decisions of the Commission and the Council. ”

"Mr. Zhou, on the topic of the European Union, you have already said too much in these five speeches, and I want to know more, will the United States be happy to see the emergence of the European Union?"

"The so-called European Union is only a goal for the future, and at this stage, Europe is just uniting to defend against the crisis. A stable Europe, a rich Europe, is also in the interests of the Americans. As for the future stage, if the situation really develops to the point of political unity, I think that even the United States will not stay out of the situation and will also play a huge role in the European Union. ”

The audience jotted down Zhou Nan's words in their notebooks one by one, and a young reporter with shaggy hair kept eagerly raising his hand, and Etinny couldn't turn a blind eye all the time, so he pointed at him.

He excitedly squeezed to the front of the stage, but instead of reaching for the microphone that Etinny handed him, he reached into his arms.

Everyone thought that he had written down the questions he wanted to ask in a notebook and put them in his arms. But when he took out his hand, he was holding a pistol, and the crowd in front of the stage immediately exploded.

The young man's originally delicate face also became distorted at this time because of excitement and nervousness. He shouted: "Let us forget hatred, it is the betrayal of our people, and all those who want us to be French can never forget ......"

The gunshots rang out "thump", and six gunshots rang out in a row......
