    Why was Churchill so motivated to block this deal?  Is it just because of an electroslag remelting furnace?  Certainly not, because MI6 informed him of shocking news that the Soviet Union, France and Germany would join forces to establish a high-tech enterprise.  Not only is the main business direction of this company worrying, but the three companies involved are enough to make the British wary.  Needless to say, the Soviet Union is Britain¡¯s biggest enemy at this stage.  Needless to say, Germany was defeated after World War II, and now it is starting to make moves again.  And they actually worked hand in hand with the Soviet Union to seduce the French. If these three countries really cooperated, wouldn't the British Empire's five hundred years of diplomacy have been in vain?  Churchill had to be anxious. Once the axis composed of the Soviet Union, France and Germany formed on the European continent, it would mean that Britain would be marginalized, and it would mean that the British Empire could no longer unite and manipulate the European continent.  Time.  Churchill, who was burning his ass, arrived in France again. This was his second visit to Paris in two months. Compared with the last time, the old smoker seemed a little anxious.  "Mr. President, how did you promise me last time that France would always stay in the free world, but why did I hear that you were ready to cooperate with the Soviet Union? You can't keep your word, can you?" De Gaulle is one point about Churchill's arrival  It was no surprise to him. He had already been fully prepared, so he replied slowly: "Who told you that I will cooperate with the Soviet Union? It's just a rumor!" Churchill's mouth twitched, and he was speechless for de Gaulle.  Last time it was just a rumor, but this time it's the same thing. Damn, you take me for a 250, don't you?  Churchill suddenly became a little angry. He asked seriously: "Is it a rumor? Is it a rumor about Airbus? Are you saying that this company does not exist at all?" De Gaulle replied with a smile: "You mean Airbus.  This is not a rumor, but it is not a government action, but a purely private business behavior. There is no law in free France to prevent normal business behavior among the people. If you do this, it is called poisonous vegetables!" Churchill felt that his temples were beating.  , De Gaulle really regarded him as a 250-year-old, bullshit private business practice, and he was about to establish an aviation technology company. How could it have nothing to do with the French government? Isn't this Chiguoguo's deception?  De Gaulle replied lightly: "I must correct your statement. The French government's investment in Airbus only accounts for 15%. This proportion is quite small. Of the remaining 20% ??of shares held by France, all  It is owned by private investors. And I must also remind you that this company has nothing to do with the Soviet government. 20% of its investment comes from Umbrella, a large multinational company that also has a large market in the United States.  Even if its chairman is a Russian expatriate, this cannot be considered an investment from the Soviet government, right?" Churchill was unmoved and asked coldly: "I heard that Russian capital occupies 45% of the shares. Did you just say that?  But you only explained the source of 20%, what about the remaining 25%? Isn¡¯t it convenient for you to explain clearly?¡± De Gaulle replied with a smile: ¡°Of course not, 5% of the remaining 25% comes from the Swedish Bofors family, 10  % comes from the Sperowski family, and the remaining 10% comes from the Norinco Group. " Churchill's mouth twitched. He was too familiar with these companies. They were either white gloves of the Soviet government or pro-Soviet. That's it.  You, De Gaulle, still dare to say that there is no Soviet background in this, it is bullshit private business behavior, I will spit in your face!  Churchill finally understood that France was indeed preparing to flirt with the Soviet Union, and this was never allowed for Britain, so he made a strong statement: "This is betrayal! Mr. President, this is a complete betrayal."  . The most important reason why France was protected from the abuses of the Communist Party was that it had the support of many allies in the free world, which prevented the Soviet Union from making mistakes. But now France is developing relations with its enemies behind the backs of its allies who have always been helping each other.  A betrayal of the entire Allies! I urge you to face the calls of many allies and stop doing things that please those who love you and those who hate you!" Churchill's words were more serious, and they were a bit meant to force the emperor into submission.  However, De Gaulle reacted very calmly and did not seem to take Churchill's threat seriously. He said calmly: "The French government attaches great importance to friendship with its traditional allies, but this does not mean that the French government and people will accept it."  The French government and people have always adhered to an independent foreign policy and will never give in to those who try to interfere in France¡¯s internal affairs.¡± This meeting could be said to have ended on bad terms, and Churchill was half-dead angry.  De Gaulle's demeanor was enough, but now De Gaulle, who wants nothing from others, is even more difficult to deal with and does not listen to advice. How do you think this can be done?  If you may, Churchill??I really want to punch de Gaulle in the face to make this bastard wake up, but he can't do it. If he really does it, de Gaulle will have a good reason to withdraw from NATO, and he will be the one to take the blame for this in the end.  Churchill.  The old smoker returned to the hotel bitterly and convened a group of staff to urgently discuss countermeasures. At this time, our old acquaintance Li Erwen began to play a role again. She said: "From the current situation, it is impossible to prevent France from forming an air force with the Soviet Union."  The bus company. This is irreversible. If we are forceful, we will definitely face a comprehensive backlash from France. So I suggest a roundabout strategy on this issue! " A roundabout strategy?  Churchill was a little dizzy. He didn't understand how to make a roundabout way in this situation.  The matter is obvious, there is absolutely no room for detours!  However, Li Erwen believed that: "Our country's foreign policy has been consistent for five hundred years to prevent the European continent from forming a unified thinking. If the enemy cannot be stopped with tough methods, then we might as well break into the enemy and cause him to turn upside down!" Churchill's eyes flashed.  Liang, he finally knows what Lil Wen means. What are the methods that British diplomatic geniuses are good at?  Aren't you just being a troublemaker?  In short, when Britain encountered an opponent it was unable to defeat, it tried every means to penetrate into the enemy's interior, provoke various conflicts within the enemy and break them down, and ultimately achieve the goal of disintegrating the enemy.  This strategy has been tried and tested on the European continent, and it should be successful this time.  So Churchill took emergency measures. He ordered the Foreign Secretary to talk to de Gaulle to discuss the possibility of Britain joining Airbus. Then Churchill himself immediately visited the Netherlands, Belgium, Italy and other countries to encourage these countries to also join Airbus.  .  Churchill¡¯s wishful thinking is this: What is a collective or a group most afraid of?  Isn't it just that people talk too much and can't reach a unified opinion?  Now that the whole of Europe has joined Airbus, it seems that there is great momentum and it seems that there is strength in numbers.  But Churchill knew these old Europe too well. Everyone is very careful when paying for money, and they are eager to get more when paying dividends. Moreover, the demand for civilian passenger aircraft and cargo aircraft is very different between countries, and every family has it.  own opinion.  With so many miscellaneous countries gathered together, Airbus could not accomplish anything and could only end up miserable.  For Britain, as long as Airbus is disturbed, the relationship between France and the Soviet Union will be self-defeating.  I have to say that this move is quite sinister.  So have the French fallen into the trap?  De Gaulle knew Churchill too well and knew British diplomatic strategies too well. As soon as the British ambassador made this suggestion, he knew what the other party wanted to do.  Objectively speaking, de Gaulle's expectations for Airbus were not particularly high. The company had more of a symbolic significance to him, and was used to stabilize the Soviet Union. From Airbus, the French government occupied  It can also be seen from the shares that de Gaulle only invested a small amount of money symbolically.  To put it bluntly, this little money is just a cover to let the Russians see the goodwill of the French. Since we in France have shown so much goodwill, is it too much for you to shout and kill in Poland?  De Gaulle¡¯s wishful thinking was to use a small amount of goodwill to stabilize the Soviet Union, in exchange for the Soviet Union reducing the military presence on the front line of Poland and Germany.  As long as the Soviet Union reduces military pressure, France will naturally be happy to be safe, and low-lying countries such as the Netherlands and Belgium will also thank France for its efforts.  As a result, France's diplomatic pressure has been reduced, and it is a typical case of spending small money to achieve big things.  Based on this, De Gaulle¡¯s views on Airbus were more political. I¡¯m afraid he never thought that the company would have any major development, let alone that the company could become one of the world¡¯s top aviation giants in the future.  In fact, when de Gaulle reacted, he felt a little regretful.  Of course, de Gaulle has no regrets now, and even thinks that he can invest less money. God knows how long this company can last.  So naturally, because expectations were low, he didn't have much idea about the future of the company. Even if the British clearly had bad intentions, De Gaulle felt that there was nothing for the British to interfere with. Anyway, Airbus was just a cover.  Of course, de Gaulle did not immediately agree to the British proposal, because he had to pay attention to the attitude of the Soviet Union, because the company itself was a product of easing relations with the Soviet Union. If the Soviet Union was unhappy because of the British joining, it would not be in vain.  Already?  Therefore, on the one hand, de Gaulle stabilized the British, and on the other hand, he also conveyed the British proposals to the Soviet Union.  To put it bluntly, this is de Gaulle's kicking the ball. Whether or not the British join depends on you, the Soviet Union. You Russians can do whatever they say!  This move is also very clever. It doesn¡¯t matter to de Gaulle anyway, so why risk offending Britain?Danger to be a bad person?  Quickly kick the ball to the Soviet Union. If the Soviet Union agrees, then when Britain becomes a troublemaker in the future, it will be the Soviet Union asking for it. If the Soviet Union does not agree, the Soviet Union will take the blame, and it has nothing to do with France.  ¡°De Gaulle is really an old fox!¡± Li Xiaofeng said at the Political Bureau meeting.  Li Xiaofeng was not blind, so he couldn't see that De Gaulle was playing ball. He even understood De Gaulle's psychological activities clearly. This guy is getting more and more oily. It seems that these years of struggle in the National Assembly have tempered him.  .  So what is Li Xiaofeng¡¯s attitude towards the British proposal?  Agree, that¡¯s right!  Doesn¡¯t Li Xiaofeng know what the British are planning and that this guy is a perpetual troublemaker?  Of course he knows the nature of Britain, but he also knows that being a troublemaker requires strength as the foundation.  Not everyone can be a shit stirrer. In the past, Britain had abundant national strength and could naturally be a shit stirrer. But now with the decline of British national power, I am afraid that it is powerless to be a shit stirrer!  Of course, Li Xiaofeng did not take the British into his eyes because he was confident. He was not arrogant yet. One of the important reasons why he agreed to the British joining Airbus was economic considerations.  It¡¯s not that the planned Airbus company lacks funds. In fact, several major shareholders of Airbus are not short of money.  The Bofors family has made a lot of money following Li Xiaofeng over the years. This is still a different level. Look at a certain immortal's sister-in-law Victoria, who has made a lot of money. As for a certain immortal's cheap father, so has he.  There is no shortage of money, and the entire Spielowski family is second to none in the Nordic region.  As for the confidante of a certain immortal, Princess Anne's property is not small. There is almost no pressure to invest in Airbus this time. Although Anna in the United States is not as capable of buying real estate as Her Royal Highness, she is still a billionaire.  Maybe among the women of a certain immortal, only the first wife was poorer, but for the mother of the Soviet Union, it didn't matter whether she wanted money or not. ??????????????? All in all, running Airbus puts no pressure on the circle around Li Xiaofeng at all. It¡¯s just a matter of investing a few dollars to give a certain immortal face.  Therefore, a certain immortal will not be so hungry that he wants to introduce British capital.  What Li Xiaofeng really values ????is the vast market of the so-called free world. Previously, this market was closed to the Soviet Union due to ideological reasons. Many products from the Soviet Union and the socialist bloc were either completely shut out, or were taxed at extremely high prices.  of tariffs.  Anyway, it¡¯s all kinds of unhappiness.  Li Xiaofeng now wants to use the name of Airbus to pry open the Western European market. The Americans cannot be allowed to exclusively occupy this vast market. No matter what, the Soviet Union will also get a piece of the pie.  But it is really difficult to get in, because people don't look down on you at all, and they will attack you crazily because of ideology, which makes it difficult to sell the products of the socialist group.  And now the joint establishment of Airbus is actually just a stepping stone for Li Xiaofeng (To be continued.).  a
