While Datang was still persistently developing and building its own territory, the pace of European union was accelerating. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

On January 15, 1807, Germany, France, Poland, the Netherlands, and Belgium met in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, to discuss deeper and broader cooperation in international health cooperation. The outcome of the meeting was the successful establishment of the European Health Community in these five countries.

Three months later, Britain, France and Germany, the three major European science and technology fields, launched the "European Science and Technology Intergovernmental Promotion Project Conference" in London, England, which did not establish any international organization, but established a foundation funded by Britain, France and Germany, called the "European Science and Technology Promotion Fund", the role of the fund is to invest funds in the potential scientific research projects of Britain, France and Germany, so that they can successfully obtain results and use them in industry. The results of scientific research belong to the researcher himself, but the United Kingdom, France and Germany can enjoy preferential use of patents.

On June 25, Germany, France, Poland, the Netherlands, and Belgium held talks in Luxembourg, Germany, and the five countries established the European Coal and Steel Community, in which coal and steel products will be traded in the form of zero tariffs. The Coal and Steel Community will not only unify the five countries in a zero-tariff and cooperative manner, but also set up the first European transnational power organization, and the high-level institutions of the Coal and Steel Community will coordinate the development of the coal and steel industries of the five countries in an overall manner, prevent vicious competition, and strengthen the division of labor and cooperation among them.

In July, the European Community of Culture and Publishing was established.

In September, the European Association for the Protection of Workers' Rights was founded.

In October, the Europol Community was established and the European Organization for Justice Cooperation was established. The European Medical Community is founded.

In November, the Advisory Council for Security in Europe was established. The European Trade Negotiation Mechanism is officially on the road and has begun to be discussed.

Throughout 1807, the Europeans promoted various integration measures with astonishing efficiency that was rarely seen before, and achieved fruitful results with mutual concessions, which made the Datang side feel a little dumbfounded. Among them, Britain and France are the main promoters of the political process of European integration, and in order to promote integration, Britain and Germany have really ceded some benefits to other countries, which has also made many countries believe in the sincerity of Britain and Germany, and thus join the process.

In Datang, some media people called 1807 the "Year of European Union" to reflect the achievements of Europeans in terms of unity and integration in that year. But quite a lot of Tang people also have to have some worries because of this, a single European country, which is not the opponent of the Tang Dynasty, can be pinched to death with one finger is considered a compliment to them. However, it is obvious that after a certain degree of union in Europe, there is still a certain threat to Datang.

At the meeting of the Datang National Security Committee, Lin Youde, the former Minister of Commerce and Trade, who has been promoted to the secretary general of the Datang State Council, said: "...... Although European countries are unable to restrict the import of Datang products with discriminatory regulations and policies due to the Warsaw system, it is clear that European countries have begun to use the international division of labor and economies of scale to reduce their costs. Even in the field of public opinion and advertising, advertising slogans such as 'Europeans use Europe's own' have been advertised. Obviously, this propaganda has already played a role. The people of European countries are also gradually awakening to national consciousness and so-called European consciousness, and the purchase of local products is considered a sign of patriotism and love for Europe. After all, our Datang products have cross-sea freight and basic tariffs, so the sales of some products have been affected by local competitors in Europe and have declined. ”

President Bai Nan and other participants were looking at the charts and data in their hands, Datang's European exports in 1807 naturally increased, but compared with last year, it only increased by about 6%, which is equivalent to almost every year before was more than double-digit growth every year, which seems to be a lot of decline. In particular, in some areas, there has even been a sharp decline and interruption of exports, and some local European products with local competitiveness have caused Datang's exporters to lose profits.

However, the decline in the growth rate of European exports has actually limited impact on Datang's economy. The rapid expansion of Datang's domestic demand market has an obvious effect on Datang's economic growth. The economic development of Huaxia and the eastern part of the United States is the two main economic growth points of Datang, and the development momentum of some emerging industries is also relatively gratifying. Compared with the slight setback in European trade, Datang's own economic growth is much healthier.

Naturally, even if Datang's dependence on Europe is declining, it cannot relax its surveillance on Europe.

Niu Bin, Minister of State Security, said: "According to the information we have now, the Security Advisory Council established by European countries before is actually a sideline, and the six major powers of Britain, France, Germany, Italy, West and Russia are brewing bigger moves." They seem to be preparing to formally set up a military alliance with the aim of promoting the collective defense of European countries, which has been confirmed by the six European countries, and now the main points of disagreement are in the details, such as the size of the command structure, how the rotating chairman should be selected, and how far the European countries should go in terms of security cooperation. However, the most likely and worst-case outcome is that the six major European military powers will pull together a group of small European countries to create a military structure with collective command and leadership. If any country is attacked by another country, it is most likely that we will be Datang, and all other member states will assist that country in its defense, which is the so-called right of collective self-defense. While the European nations themselves may not feel that they can defeat us together, the immediate effect of this military alliance is to raise the cost of our decision to use force against any European country. Because if we have to deal with a certain European country, we may have to go to war with all of Europe, so the price we pay is too great, and the cost we recover is too small. Therefore, Europe has relied on such means of bondage to achieve the goal of security. ”

Xu Daorun also explained: "As far as we dealt with Russia before, assuming that this European military alliance already exists, we may face the comprehensive clamping of other European countries against Russia, and we will not be able to act calmly." Our garrisons in Holland and Belgium could be attacked by French and German troops, Yugoslavia and Italy in Dalmatia, and Russian, German, and Polish garrisons in Estonia and Latvia. In this way, we will be exposed to the enemy on our backs, and it is very likely that we will not be able to maintain our base area, which can be said to be extremely dangerous. (To be continued.) )
