Volume 14 The Smoke of Gunpowder Chapter 22 I Do My Way

Compared to the public opinion propaganda of this sheet. Diplomacy seems prosaic. The diplomatic activities of the department are far less magnificent than the outside world imagined.

According to the itinerary that had been set up for a long time, after Pei Chengyi arrived in Paris, he first held an informal meeting with the French president and the special envoys of the German and Italian prime ministers, and attended a state banquet held for him by the French president at the Elysee Palace, and then rushed to Brussels for an official visit to the EU headquarters.

During his three-day stay in Brussels, he participated in three major events, the most notable of which was not his speech at the Council of the European Union, but his speech at the General Assembly of the European Organization for Collective Security and Security (OSSO) to answer questions from various member states, focusing on the positive impact of China-EU friendly relations on European security.

You know, this is not a speech, but a live answer to the questions raised by the representatives of the member counties.

Although all the questions are prepared in advance, even the order in which the questions are asked, it still takes great courage and wisdom, and even more importantly, a shrewd mind and rich experience in the face of endless problems, sometimes even deliberately difficult. What is very important is that Pei Chengyi has proved with practical actions that he is not only an outstanding national leader, but also a fighter who can stand the test. During the nearly three-hour Q&A, what impressed people the most was not the questions raised by the representatives of the OSCE member states, but the demeanor of a leader of a major country displayed by Pei Chengyi. To use AFP's commentary, in the face of Pei Chengyi's courage to point out the country, the doubts of European countries seem both small and short-sighted.

It can be said that this "defense meeting." pushed Pei Chengyi's trip to Europe to the top.

Before leaving Brussels, Pei Chengyi, as the supreme leader of the Republic, held the first collective meeting with the presidents of France, the German Chancellor, the Italian Prime Minister, the Dutch Minister, the Danish Minister, the Spanish Minister, and other European countries. It was also at this time that Pei Chengyi proposed for the first time to expand and upgrade the "China-EU security cooperation relationship". In addition to cooperation in non-traditional areas. There will also be exchanges and cooperation in the field of traditional military forces, that is, military security. For this. Pei Chengyi also made a commitment in advance. As long as an agreement can be reached, the authorities of the republic will actively promote the normalization of military exchanges between the two sides. Let's be direct. It is after establishing the basis of military exchange and cooperation that the republic will sell advanced military technology to Europe.

Mother is undoubtedly the big news.

You must know that the EU is capricious on the issue of collective security precisely because France, Germany, Italy, and other countries that actively advocate the establishment of a collective security mechanism cannot effectively guarantee Europe's defense security, and the fundamental reason for this failure is that France, Germany, Italy, and other countries have not mastered advanced military technology. It was mentioned earlier. France and Germany intended to make a fuss about security cooperation with the republic. It is hoped that the United States will take this opportunity to provide advanced military technology, and in order to stabilize its European allies, the United States has no choice but to make comprehensive concessions in technology control and provide advanced military technology to potential competitors. With the Republic's promise to provide advanced military technology, U.S. commitments and concessions are insignificant. This proposal. It not only made France, Germany, Italy and other countries excited, but also made those OSCE member states that had reservations about security cooperation in the past start to move, as mentioned by Prime Minister Spain at the meeting. If it is possible to obtain advanced military technology from the Republic, it will be possible to improve the security environment in Europe and expand the scope of security cooperation with the Republic. You know, Spain is a typical pro-American country. It has always been believed that the foundations of European security should be strengthened through full cooperation with the United States.

At this time, the United States is the most unable to sit still.

If the United States can tolerate the republic's efforts to win over the EU under the pretext of the Russian issue, then the United States will absolutely not be able to tolerate the republic's efforts with the EU to make efforts to tie up the alliance treaty.

On the afternoon of Pei Chengyi's remarks at the group meeting, that is, just a few hours later, the White House press spokesman publicly stated that there is no security problem in the North Atlantic region, and those who try to change the situation in the region are the real security problems, and the United States has the responsibility and obligation to take action to maintain peace and stability in the North Atlantic region and eliminate security risks that pose a threat to the United States and its allies.

As is customary, after the White House has made its statement, the special presidential envoy should leave for Europe Mao

However, the US authorities did not act as usual. It was not the special envoy representing US President Dugway who left the New World that night, but the aircraft carrier battle group representing the US forces. After receiving the approval of the president, that evening. The USS Reagan aircraft carrier battle group stationed at Norfolk Naval Base departed for Pontsmouth on the other side of the Atlantic to strengthen the US military presence in Europe. Of course. This is not a military threat. According to the information published by the Pentagon. At the invitation of the British Royal Navy, the "Reagan" aircraft carrier battle group went to participate in the "Iceberg" North Atlantic joint military exercise, and visited Britain and other European allies before and after the exercise.

Of course, this is not a military threat.

In the words of the commentary of the Palin Observer Network News Agency: Because the threat of an aircraft carrier battle group is very limited and not enough to have an impact on the military security of the European region, the real intention of the United States is to tell European countries that the United States of America is on the other side of the Atlantic, and the world's most powerful fleet can reach Europe within three days. Kill any potential threat to the United States in the cradle.

Whether or not this comment is too extreme, it is.

The United States has taken a tough stance and said that both Ou Ming and the OSCE will expand the field of cooperation with the United States and China. At the end of the day, there was no further discussion.

In fact, this was also expected by the authorities of the republic, otherwise Pei Chengyi would not have discussed this topic with the European state leaders on the first day of his departure from Brussels. Look at it from another angle. Even if the United States does not respond positively and take decisive action, it will be difficult for the authorities of the republic to immediately take a decisive step on the issue of security cooperation, because whether or not they can expand the scope of security cooperation with the EU, that is, whether they can sell advanced military technology to European countries will have to be voted on by the plenary congress.

It is precisely in this way that Al Jazeera does not want to dig into the corners of the United States, but to express the attitude that the Republic attaches great importance to its cooperation with Europe. And we hope to strengthen and maintain this cooperative relationship.

From this point of view, we can better understand the great significance of Pei Chengyi's visit to Europe.

After leaving Brussels, of course. That is, when he went to Paris again, Pei Chengyi's trip to Europe officially began.

On August 8, Pei Chengyi had an official meeting with the French president at the Cathay Pacific Hotel in Paris.

Because it was an official meeting between the top leaders of the two countries. Moreover, Pei Chengyi "made the east", so it was arranged as a closed-door meeting and was not open to reporters.

This is not difficult to understand, after all, Paris is not the new capital of the Republic, and it is reasonable to be conservative.

But what is incomprehensible is that after the meeting. Neither the Republican nor the French authorities made an official announcement, and the officials of both sides who participated in the meeting were tight-lipped and did not even disclose any information to the Angolian news media of the two countries.

Of course, it is impossible for the republic and the French authorities not to mention anything, after all, the state visit of the Yuan is not a joke.

Exactly. During Pei Chengyi's visit to Paris. The state news media of the two countries focused on some inconsequential matters, such as the signing of dozens of commercial contracts with French companies with a total value of hundreds of billions of yuan with the Republic's business delegation to Paris with Pei Chengyi, including a strategic cooperation agreement between Shanghai Aviation Equipment Manufacturing Company and Airbus, that is, Shanghai Airlines will build Europe's largest and the world's third largest civil airliner assembly plant with Airbus in Nice, France, in the form of technology investment, and use Airbus's European marketing network for sales. Although the agreement seems to be tantamount to opening the market to the republic's aviation companies and allowing Shanghai Airlines to obtain European access permits, Airbus, as a partner, has long been able to obtain the key technology to build large civil airliners by surviving on financial subsidies from European governments. So as to gain hope of resurrection. Because the open market is relative, that is, the aviation market of the Republic will also be open to Airbus, so Airbus can also enter the Republic with a price advantage, thus gaining a place in the world's largest aviation market. Lay the groundwork for full revival.

Admittedly, these commercial contracts are shocking.

Take, for example, the agreement reached between Shanghai Airlines and Airbus. For European governments, which have always made it their mission to protect the domestic market and domestic manufacturing. To be able to make such a significant concession in the field of aerospace manufacturing is not only to bear huge risks, but also to withstand huge pressure. In the comments of the London Financial Times, the market-for-technology agreement signed by Airbus and Shanghai Airlines is a sign that the European economy has entered a semi-colonial era, and it is also a sign that "Made in Europe" has lost its independence under strong external forces, and it is also a sign of the sinking of the European continent.

In this editorial, the Financial Times also boldly predicted that if the countries of the continent could not correct their erroneous economic policies in time and resist the economic invasion. Effectively protect local enterprises, within ten years, Eurofins will become a global foundry, reduced to a second-rate or even third-rate force. In response, the British Federation of Economists, which wrote the commentary, made a public appeal. The British authorities must avoid making the same mistakes. It is our responsibility to protect local businesses.

The problem was that these economic topics were simply not attractive compared to the security issues that were in high demand at the time.

On the day of the month, Pei Chengyi ended his three-day trip to Paris and took the "Eurostar" high-touch suspension train of the Continental Rail Transit Company to Pailin to formally ask questions about Germany.

Because Pei Chengyi's trip to France was very "low-key", reporters did not get much valuable news in Paris, so before Pei Chengyi left Paris, most of the reporters rushed to Paolin in advance, ready to do a big job in Germany. Be the first to report the latest news.

The reality is that before arriving in Germany, Pei Chengyi's trip to the forest began.

Although the German government has long announced that the chancellor will greet the visiting republican at the station of Pelin. He also accompanied the President of the Republic to inspect the guard of honor of the German police force, but the German Chancellor, after participating in the activities of the Council of the European Union, did not return to Pherin, but went to Paris, and secretly boarded the train that transported Pei Chengyi to Pirin as a reception staff of the German Foreign Office.

Of course, the German authorities did not disclose this to the public.

When the train arrived at Palin Station, Pei Chengyi got off the train half an hour late, and the German Chancellor, who arrived with him, had recovered his identity and appeared on the platform.

Affected by this, during the visit to Psalin. Pei Chengyi still has nothing surprising.

Unlike the activities in Paris, the body clams that are different from the book drying fine concave are said to be different, and the reading is good to go outside, and the business delegation of the Republic of China that accompanied Pei Chengyi to visit during the auction forest signed a business contract with the Zhongshou Kaikou enterprises. One of the most eye-catching is definitely the strategic cooperation agreement signed between Jixiang Automobile Company and United Automotive Group. The German United Motor Group is a subsidiary of Mercedes-Daimler AG, Volkswagen AG, and the German United Automobile Group. It is an independent subsidiary of the Ouyuan United Automotive Group and the only automobile industry group in Germany. Needless to say, Jixiang Automobile Company became the number one automobile manufacturer in the Republic before Tian Nian. The two companies did not build a joint venture factory in Europe like Shanghai Airlines and Airbus, after all, the production capacity of European car factories has long exceeded sales and is in a serious state of surplus, and it is not meaningful to build a new factory. According to the agreement reached by the two parties, Jixiang Automobile Company will obtain the marketing channels of the German United Automobile Group in the way of "technology for channels", and the German United Automobile Group will get the production technology of the new composite battery that will be put into use on a large scale. Because of the technical export control agreement involving the Republic, German companies can only obtain assembly technology, and the old composite battery, which is the core, is supplied by the Republic company. Of course. What the German United Automotive Group needs most is not the vehicle composite battery, but the magnetic levitation propulsion technology.

Because Germany is the base camp of the European automobile industry, the French Kouwang Group, which owns Renault, Citroen and Logo automobile companies, has long been defeated, so the move of the German United Automobile Group is equivalent to opening the door to the European market to the enterprises of the Republic.

As a result, it is conceivable that the news media in Britain and other countries will certainly not be late for their verbal and written criticism.

The problem is that the most puzzling thing for the European news media is that Pei Chengyi once again quietly ended his visit to Germany.

On the day of moonrise, under the arrangement of the Italian authorities. Pei Chengyi and several follow-up officials flew from Pailin to Rome on a special business plane designed and produced by the Italian company Agusta.

This time, the Italian Prime Minister did not hide it, and in the name of attending the EU brain meeting and returning to China by the way, he personally went to Pailin to greet Pei Chengyi, and returned to Rome on the same plane as Pei Chengyi. In order to avoid arousing the disgust of the Chinese people, the Italian authorities announced the news by claiming that this was done to convince the head of the Republic of China of the safety of Italian-made commercial aircraft.

Some people may ask, why does Pei Chengyi take a business plane with low safety if he doesn't sit on the Yuan special plane that is placed at the good end?

The reason is very simple, the Republic's AVIC Group has long become the largest shareholder of Agusta by way of subscription, and in this way, it has entered the European business aircraft market and promoted high-performance business aircraft to European companies and tycoons. Tian is a high-performance business aircraft specially designed for the European market, and it is also the most expensive business aircraft sold in the European market. In other words, Pei Chengyi is promoting products for AVIC. Of course, the outside world doesn't know the one that sent Pei Chengyi to Rome. It is specially produced by AVIC in China's factories, not in Italy. It can be said that apart from the appearance, there is no resemblance to the production type anywhere else. The reason is simple, Bida has made a lot of simplifications for the European market, and even the basic platform follows the previous generation of products, instead of the latest one. This is understandable, sell backward products first, and then implement the latest products in the name of upgrading a few years later, in order to make the most profits. In fact, a decade ago, European car companies, especially Volkswagen, which was the first to enter the republic, didn't do this? In the words of the chairman of the AVIC Group, the European aviation manufacturing enterprises can only be blamed, and if they can produce more advanced and outstanding business aircraft than the European version of the calendar, the AVIC Group will not be shoddy.

Of course, selling a few business jets is not a big deal.

It was only at this time that the reporters who were trying to dig up some news realized that Pei Chengyi had met with the leaders of the interviewed countries outside of the official visit itinerary and reached a secret agreement, so there would not be much valuable news about the official visit and the official meeting.

The problem is that there are only a few seats on business jets. And even if there are extra seats, it will not be in the news

It can be said that when Pei Chengyi went to Rome. The reporters who chased him for days had the feeling that they had been deceived.

As a result of this, many news media outlets expressed their indignation and dissatisfaction with certain private acts of the authorities of the Republic on the day of the rising of the moon, and repeatedly stated in their reports that there was only fair and honest communication. In order to make the European people recognize and accept the influence of the republic in Europe, any gray transaction will affect the image of the republic, and thus have an impact on the relationship between the republic and Europe.

Because Pei Chengyi was expected to discuss major matters with the Italian prime minister before arriving in Rome, only a small number of those who chased from Paris to Palin rented high-tech planes and chased them all the way to Rome, and more than half of the reporters canceled their trip to Rome and even refunded their booked flight tickets.

Of course, these reporters did not expect that the trip to Rome would be the second ** of Pei Chengyi's visit to Europe. Jian Shu is sun-dried and concave with different body clams, and it is good to read outside
