On the Berlin side, Alan Wilson was hiding aside, paying close attention to the news in Moscow. After Mrs. Thatcher finished her speech, praising the effectiveness and necessity of the Berlin Wall, he did not find any trouble. He knew that this was the case.
An adventure successful.
It's already 1990, so it has been five years since Tutou came to power, and not surprisingly, the Soviet Union has experienced five consecutive years of negative growth.
The most authoritative title of Tutou has also changed from First Secretary to Chairman of the Supreme Soviet. There are currently only three countries in Eastern Europe that retain socialist political systems. After Bulgaria announced reforms, these three countries are democratic
Germany, Czechoslovakia and Romania.
Moreover, these three countries are different, because the Democratic Republic of Germany and Czechoslovakia have almost been divided and contracted by the United Kingdom and France. These two countries are of course exceptions. Washington’s explanation is that these two countries will definitely do it naturally when necessary.
Transform the system, not make a sudden turn.
The reason is still to curb the Federal Republic of Germany's expansion of its sphere of influence into Eastern Europe. Washington actually knows this very well. Mrs. Thatcher has been conducting diplomacy around Germany for almost a year. Who can still see what the British are thinking?
Moreover, there was also discussion within Washington about whether Britain and France were seeing the Soviet Union dying? There was an intention to seize spheres of influence.
I do have this idea. Even if the British side is singing about the special relationship between Britain and the United States, it always lifts the lid of the coffin. This always does not make the city on the hill feel at ease. Although there has been a discussion on whether to educate Britain and France.
, but the Soviet Union is still there, and the United States cannot do this yet.
Alan Wilson has always believed that the United States is full of smart people, so he knows in his heart that Britain's actions to snatch interests cannot deceive the United States. Therefore, the matter of preventing German reunification must not only be pushed forward with all its strength, but also handled with great fanfare and high-profile, so that the robbery can be
Benefits become a matter of course.
After all, Mrs. Thatcher is still sixty-five years old. Even if she is performing at full energy, she still needs a rest when she visits two Germanys in a row.
At this time, Arnold came to visit and walked around with his father, the cabinet secretary, introducing the results of his work. After divesting profitable enterprises, the next stage was the hard nut of privatization. There were still many things that he was not clear about.
I hope my father can clear up my doubts.
"When the Democratic Republic of Germany was founded, there were 21 million people, but now it is less than 20 million. In fact, a population of this size does not require a small and comprehensive industrial layout. The whole country can focus on the automobile and semiconductor industries.
The development is too exaggerated. The global sales of the three car brands produced by the Audi Group have reached about two million, which is enough for the Democratic Republic of Germany to live a not too bad life. And if the political system of the Democratic Republic of Germany does not change, there are still cheap cars
supplemented by Soviet energy.”
Alan Wilson thought for a while and said, "The semiconductor industry can absorb all the electronic talents in Eastern Europe, including the Soviet Union, and the market can also be solved within Eastern Europe. If we seize these two industries, I think it will not be worse than the level of the Federal Republic of Germany."
How much."
He felt that it was almost the same as Scam Island in the 21st century. Scam Island's panel industry, that is, screens, had been strong for a while and accounted for 40% of the world's share. But in the 21st century, probably
A decade later, it was defeated by South Korea. After the panel industry failed, the only one that can be called the leader in Scam Island is TSMC.
"Tell the Germans to concentrate their national efforts on automobiles and semiconductors, and develop with the Audi Group and the Dresden Microelectronics Center as the core. Unless they really have advantages, other industries will not give up. At the government level, pinch
Water and electricity ensure the government’s financial resources.”
Alan Wilson said this, "Is it difficult to raise prices? Your mother runs a water and electricity company in the Eastern Hemisphere. As long as she injects part of the capital, the GDR government will have an excuse to raise prices. Sooner or later you will find that water and electricity are
This is the source of huge cash flow.”
In the final analysis, the 20 million Democratic Republic of Germany is still easy to manage. If it seizes two strong industries, its life will not be too bad. Countries with large populations are not so lucky.
For example, for a big and prosperous country, under the premise that a big country with the same population size exists, even if a big country stands still and develops to 10,000 people per capita, all the remaining industries in Europe and the United States, except for a big country, can only be eliminated.
Just beat him down.
In fact, in other words, if science and technology does not advance and no new industries emerge, a certain big country can scrap all the industries in the world and be left as an industrial country, barely able to squeeze into the threshold of developed countries. The development of a certain big country will
It is destined to be difficult, but it is even more difficult for a big and impressive country.
Arnold nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, "Indeed, a small population is not a disadvantage. A small population means fewer problems."
"How is the public opinion in the GDR, especially regarding the issue of German reunification." Alan Wilson took the initiative to ask this question. Although the economic issue is difficult, it is not the most difficult. You must know the current GDR's views on German reunification.
.
"This question was indeed very enthusiastic at first, especially after the Ten-Point Program was proposed." Arnold couldn't help but laugh, "But since the Prime Minister started diplomacy around Germany and established widespread camps in Europe to prevent German reunification,
The situation became much more stable. When the Federal Republic of Germany began to encounter an energy crisis, the citizens of the Democratic Republic of Germany seemed to feel that their dreams were shattered."
Arnold also did not deny that as a porter of information, he also played a certain role in shaping public opinion this time. After all, he is also a British person, and everything is based on national interests.
"Our hostility towards the Federal Republic of Germany is indeed for the sake of the citizens of the Democratic Republic of Germany. What unrealistic illusions does the Democratic Republic of Germany have about the free world? The British do not mind exposing them one by one and using them all on their brothers in the west.
"Alan Wilson said with a smile, "This is all for European peace."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Alan Wilson knows very well that the exchanges between the two Germanys are actually very close. Unlike North Korea and South Korea at the 38th Parallel, the military demarcation line is clearly defined and tightly controlled.
.The circulation between the two Germanys is much more frequent, and it is a two-way circulation. Not only citizens of the Democratic Republic of Germany fled to live in the Federal Republic of Germany, but also vice versa.
If it’s just a small amount, it’s not worth noting, but the scale is very large. Let’s put it this way. In the past few decades, nearly two million people have fled from the Democratic Republic of Germany to live in the west, but there are still one-third of this number. There were a lot of six or seven hundred thousand people running from the west to the east.
The flow of people in Germany far exceeds that of the Korean Peninsula. Alan Wilson concluded that Bonn and Berlin actually knew each other's information very clearly, unlike the South Koreans who basically spread rumors about North Korea.
"Cole didn't give us a promise this time. He thought there was nothing we could do. Maybe we should reconsider the position of the Democratic Republic of Germany." Alan Wilson whispered to his son. This time Mrs. Thatcher suddenly appeared in the Democratic Republic of Germany. , there will be imitators soon.
Arnold frowned and thought for a moment, then said in a determined tone, "I think the next person to visit Berlin should be Portugal, right?"
Ellen Wilson nodded with satisfaction. The richest woman and the Portuguese have established friendly relations for decades. This did not end with the end of the Salazar system. On the contrary, the reason why Portugal was able to avoid backlash after losing its colonies was , it is due to the British contribution.
The current Portuguese president, Antonio Ramaljo Eyanes, is a soldier. In fact, since the end of the Salazar system, all Portuguese presidents have been soldiers.
Mrs. Thatcher, who had rested for a day and regained her energy, accompanied by a British economic adviser, visited the achievements of British-style privatization, the reorganized GDR automobile industry, the Audi Group that was in litigation with the Federal Republic of Germany, and the German Lesden Microelectronics Group.
After inspecting the two groups that symbolized friendship between Britain and Germany, Mrs. Thatcher expressed her optimism for the future of the Democratic Republic of Germany and that the United Kingdom was willing to develop relations with the Democratic Republic of Germany, a full member of the United Nations.
Mrs. Thatcher endorsed the Honecker government for two days, and at the same time she endorsed British-style privatization, because this was also considered her merit. It soon entered thousands of households of GDR citizens through Berlin's state-owned television station.
Of course, the focus of the news is mainly on Mrs. Thatcher standing under the Berlin Wall and praising the Berlin Wall as a necessary border management system for any country, which is understandable.
It's normal. At first, it was the Democratic Republic of Germany that resisted the stronger Federal Republic of Germany and kept sucking blood. Now it is Britain that prevents the Democratic Republic of Germany from being swallowed up by the Federal Republic of Germany. With different positions, the perspective of looking at the problem is also different.
Mrs. Thatcher’s endorsement played a major role in the pioneering and development of diplomacy around Germany. The British Prime Minister didn’t mind being a bad guy first. Then if other countries follow suit, what reason does Cole have to object?
Just after Mrs. Thatcher announced the end of her visit to the two Germanys, Portuguese President Eanes immediately announced that he would launch a friendly visit to the Democratic Republic of Germany. This British ally for seven hundred years, after receiving the signal from London, The first one jumped out to help the factory and announced that he would visit Berlin.
Honecker, the leader of the Democratic Republic of Germany, immediately expressed his welcome. "The development of the Democratic Republic of Germany requires the support of all European countries. It must stand at the forefront of the world in the new era and have a wide range of friends."
As a close ally of Germany, Italian Prime Minister Giulio Andreotti must not be absent. Immediately after Portugal, he announced that he would visit the Democratic Republic of Germany. French President Mitterrand's reaction was not fast, but he immediately
Knowing what the British were up to, they had to admit that Britain's diplomatic methods were indeed sufficient, and they quickly joined the overall will of Europe.
Kohl's idea of reunifying the two Germanys had the effect of drawing hundreds of punches without opening them, and the entire Federal Republic of Germany was plunged into a sea of European people.
