Chapter 841: Franco-German Alliance
The crackdown on refugees has only temporarily diverted attention from the German economy, and has not actually completely solved the problem of the country's economic weakness. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Throughout Europe, they are hoping to divert the problem of people's unemployment under the contradiction of the economic crisis, and try to divert the contradiction and crisis in other ways.
France has deflected domestic contradictions by suppressing the Gaddafi regime in Syria, Mario has sent troops to Iraq to overthrow Saddam's regime, and the Soviet Union has turned to economic exchanges between South Asian countries to correct its own shortcomings, to put it bluntly, to earn foreign exchange from oil and heavy industry products, and then import light industry and agricultural products from East Asian countries. Generally speaking, the means behind the five hooligans are that you cheat me, I cheat you, and then pit a small country with no background.
After Krenz came to power, the first thing he did was to visit French President Jacques Chirac. Everyone realized that this might be the slogan that Germany was preparing to declare war on France, and that France, instead of reaching out to the aid of Germany's troubles, was pulling the United States and the Soviet Union behind the scenes to expand the power of its Mediterranean alliance.
The Elysee Palace was full of the smell of gunpowder, and everyone thought that Krenz had come to Paris to ask for guilt, and some people even had the attitude of watching the play from the sidelines. The United States also hopes that the "right-wing" forces will be able to more effectively curb the expansion and development of the Soviet Union. Even if Krentz is a former Communist, the White House will tolerate acquiescence.
Seeing Krenz's arrival, the corners of Chirac's mouth barely outlined a smile, but he was thinking about other things in his heart. He thought that Germany would be in turmoil for a while, but he did not expect that the leaders who had just come to power could not wait to show their excellent political skills.
"We congratulate Chancellor Krenz on being the new Chancellor of the Federation."
Although France has already sent congratulatory telegrams before, it is still necessary to re-promote its own ideas on this occasion.
"Not the new Federal Prime Minister."
Krenz shook his head and calmly emphasized, "I represent the Chancellor of the German Republic. β
The Federal Republic of Germany is history, and Krenz's first signal to Germany's drastic reform was to change the name of the country. Despite the strong opposition of some members of the Reichstag, the bill was passed by a narrow figure - on the one hand, the German Democratic Renaissance Party has a dominant position in the number of members of the Reichstag, and in principle, even the speaker of the Reichstag is the one who holds the power of the military. On the other hand, Berlin is the axe-bearer of the DPR. Even if they say no, consider the cold blade around their neck.
Compared to 1933, history is always strikingly similar.
"The reason why I chose to visit France for the first time is because there are still some unresolved historical issues between France and the Federal Republic of Germany, and I am here to solve these historical problems."
A fine cold sweat broke out on Chirac's forehead, in fact, it was not afraid of Kohl's accusations, the Federal Republic of Germany seemed to be powerful but was controlled by a group of harmless guys, and who was Krenz in front of him?
The monster who threatened to chase Mu when he came to power, and even issued a refugee expulsion decree immediately after the day after his inaugural speech. His presence terrified even the Arab world.
"It's not a Mediterranean alliance thing, in fact I'm not interested in your little thing. If you think that a Mediterranean Union can outperform the EU, then I don't mind giving it a try. And now that the EU has not been dissolved, why do you think that the Union for the Mediterranean can be ambitious to replace the EU? β
In fact, Krenz did not want to dissolve the European Union, but instead raised the threshold for EU accession, and the agreement between him and Yanayev only refused to include Eastern and Central European countries in the organization. Now it would be a fool for Germany to spend its energy on raising a bunch of dragging ones. As long as Germany regains its strength, it will still include Eastern Europe in the EU's bloc.
Chirac had simply made the wrong bet. He overestimated France's own influence and underestimated Germany's strength.
"I'm standing here today, and I'm not going to dwell on anything else. Just wanted to hear the opinion of France on the formation of an alliance with Germany. β
Franco-German alliance?
Chirac's view of Krenz is a little strange, aren't the two countries of France and Germany an alliance that has always been on the same front?
"I'm talking about an alliance that deepens cooperation, more precisely, between the great European powers. It's no longer confined to a small circle. β
France was the only country outside of NATO and the Soviet Union, while Germany firmly took over the anti-Soviet banner and became the leader and main force of NATO's European power.
However, the revival of the German Democratic Baath Party, as an evolution of the original German Communist Party, has an ambiguous relationship with the Soviet Union. This is also why Yanayev tried to form the Triple Alliance.
After kicking the anti-Soviet White Left out of power, the pro-Soviet regime came to power and meant that Yanayev saw hope for a European alliance.
"France and Germany should further deepen their cooperation and jointly deal with possible threats," Krenz said. The world today is not in the era of European strife, and the trend towards globalization means that our enemies exist not only on this ancient continent, but also on the other side of the Atlantic. β
After several times of being tricked by the Soviet Union and the United States behind their backs, Germany finally realized where their problems arose, and on the surface the two sides maintained a relationship between the two allies, but in reality the United States only saw a weakened Europe as a cannon fodder that could be sacrificed. Far from gaining the upper hand, the fighting between Western Europe and the Soviet Union was instigated, but on the contrary lost the last front of public opinion.
Krentz's eyes were full of anticipation, and this was the biggest change since he took office. There is no bottom line between capitalists, especially when it comes to interests. Germany, which had defended itself against the Soviet Union more than the flood, still put down its position in the face of economic interests and considered the question of unity.
"Europe should unite to counter the threat from the superpowers. In particular, non-military threats are more formidable than direct military threats. β
Chirac frowned, isn't that a clichΓ©. He asked casually.
"Prevent the offensive of the Slavs? The cold war is over, and there is no need for us to continue dwelling on this issue. France adheres to the policy of Charles de Gaulle and will never participate in confrontation between any international organizations. So it doesn't make sense for you to negotiate on this topic. We will not return to NATO in a high-profile manner. β
Krenz shook his head.
"No, I'm talking about the Americans." (To be continued.) )
