Chapter 917 The First Artificial Satellite

"Now I'll see what Iceland will do." After the European Community Foreign Ministers' meeting successfully concluded, Alan Wilson said to his immediate boss Sir Ismay with great ambition, "Even if the next European Community Foreign Ministers' meeting is held, at least it will be

It’s next year, how long can Iceland last? I’m very much looking forward to it.”

"Well done." Sir Ismay praised with full approval. "Of course, from a personal point of view, it may be a bit of a fuss, but the reckless actions of Iceland are the reason for this fate."

"The Icelanders do not deserve sympathy." Alan Wilson nodded indifferently. "When they collided with the British fishermen, they should have thought that we would not give up."

If the United States had not sidetracked during the Cod War, Iceland would have been landed several times by British Marines.

Iceland now has the territorial waters it needs, but at the cost of excluding Iceland's cod from the EC market.

As for the European countries that have not joined the European Community, namely the Scandinavian countries, Iceland can think of ways to sell cod to Eastern Europe and see if Moscow is willing to open its market to Iceland. But it is still difficult. The Hokkaido fishery

It is now in the hands of the Soviet Union, and there are also US military bases in Iceland. With so many factors mixed together, Iceland does not have many choices.

It can be said that the test faced by Icelandic Prime Minister Herman Jonasson has just begun. "Will the Americans put pressure? After all, Iceland is extremely dependent on the European market."

"You also said that the next European Community Foreign Ministers' Meeting will not be held until next year. We all know that major resolutions require the consent of all countries. Although we and France can convince other member states, can we do this?

You don’t have to do this. As long as one country does not recognize the lifting of the ban, we will have to wait.”

Sir Ismay explained in a frivolous tone, and Alan Wilson nodded and whispered, "Until Iceland surrenders."

Sir Ismay nodded. Generally speaking, this EC meeting will mainly discuss the delimitation issue of the Gulf of Guinea.

The Netherlands has no colonies in Africa, so as long as the five major African colonial powers recognize it, it will be done.

After all, the Gulf of Guinea is far away. If it is North Africa, Italy may have objections. After all, Italy still has intentions towards North African countries. Because of the world war, Italy lost Libya, and then the Mountbatten Group discovered oil in Libya.

.

This was bad news for Italy. Seeing that France still occupied Algeria and would not let go, the Italians' feeling of imbalance became even more aggravated.

But the distant Gulf of Guinea has nothing to do with Italy. Italy has no reason to object. France has even privately promised to allow Italian capital to develop oil in the territorial waters delineated by Spain.

Under this temptation, the Italians' little sense of justice disappeared directly, waiting to get a share of the Gulf of Guinea.

In order to prevent the United States from saying anything, the British Foreign Secretary and the Permanent Secretary returned to London directly after the EC meeting. Alan Wilson continued to stay in Brussels. He still had some big deals to discuss with Bokina.

Playing with Pokina's short blond hair that was permed into waves, Alan Wilson slowly couldn't put it down, and was addicted to the neutral beauty and couldn't extricate himself.

"It looks good." The short-haired strong woman who was half-kneeling in front of the man raised her head and glanced at the condescending imperial commissioner with a hint of fascination.

"Nothing about you is not beautiful." Alan Wilson said as if the world bowed before me.

"I just know how to say nice things." Pokina, who covered her mouth, left quickly and came back after a while. "You countries divided the second Persian Gulf after just talking. You are indeed a colonial empire."

"I must correct you. Britain is different from other colonial empires." Alan Wilson burst out with patriotism and said with conviction, "If the colonial era is an inevitable choice, the world will be colonized by Britain.

Such luck. Of course, other countries may not think so because their positions are different.”

The colonial era is definitely evil, but if some countries are colonized by their own countries, they will definitely develop together, and they will not be such cruel brainwashers. It is just that they have not caught up with the colonial era and can stand up and talk without pain.

When the Russian Empire expanded, it seemed that it was not very merciful. As for a certain big country, the Qing Dynasty would not choose the colonial path. It would be more in line with the Qing Dynasty's expansion idea to go too far with the knife and change the people.

As for the Ming Dynasty, the countries that did not conquer the country almost surrounded themselves in a circle, basically eliminating the possibility of expansion.

The policies of the two dynasties are similar. The policy of expelling Miao and developing industries has been continued by the two dynasties. There is no difference between the Manchus and the Han people in this regard. The slight difference is that the list suppressed by the Qing Dynasty also includes Han people, while the list suppressed by the Ming Dynasty includes Jurchens.

For other ethnic groups within the territory, the policy is consistent, and if they don't obey, they will die. If there is an almost impossible possibility, and the two dynasties really try to colonize, it will just leave a sentence in the history books: in a certain period, ethnic groups emerged.

Fusion…

As for those who integrate, in a country where changing dynasties and reducing the population by half is a routine practice, there is no need to think deeply about where they are going.

Of course, the real history is that Britain was the biggest profiteer during the colonial era. Things that were done cannot be treated as if they never happened. Bokina said that he could stand upright after being beaten, but when it comes to replacing Britain with other countries to implement colonial policies,

The world would be a better place, Alan Wilson doesn't believe a word of it.

"I'm not blaming you for anything. The Gulf of Guinea is so big, so let's do something." Bokina's aggrieved soft request fully reflects her character of being anti-defeat rather than anti-war. From this point of view, Bokina has already

He is a German in psychology.

"There is no other way. You can try to merge an oil company in France and enter the Gulf of Guinea indirectly. Don't even think about Total. France is not as easy to talk to as the UK." Alan Wilson pondered for a moment and pointed out to Bokina.

A curved road to save the country, "France still wants to win over Germany, so we should seize this point and think of a way."

Bokina doesn't want much, at least in Alan Wilson's eyes. The Gulf of Guinea is so big, and with the help of Germany's power, European power in Africa may be more stable.

Of course, Alan Wilson can't guarantee whether it will be successful. The French have always looked ugly. Britain is the moral high ground among colonial countries. This is not just a casual statement.

As a pioneer of equal rights, he has always done his best to help women, especially ladies who have the same status as his wives.

Before he came to Brussels, he mentored two female CEOs to help members of the Zodiac sign French luxury brands and expand into the North American market.

Although Pokina has a criminal record, he is still willing to help as long as he asks. Who makes him a pro-European faction? The colonial empire is already crumbling, and one more European country to help will be more powerful.

The meeting of foreign ministers of the European Community determined the demarcation of the Gulf of Guinea, and while the countries involved were gearing up to send people to dig for black gold, the Kazakh Soviet Socialist Republic and the Baikonur Space Launch Center, a launch site where the Soviet Union invested heavily

, at this time almost all the big names in the rocket field in the world were welcomed.

Sergei Pavlovich Korolev, Mikhail Kuzmich Younger, Glushko, Chernomyi and other Soviet Union's most authoritative expert team, as well as von Braun

The team is all present.

The entire launch site has been surrounded by the Soviet Red Army and the KGB Military Administration, and it seems that it is facing a formidable enemy.

"Mr. Werner is also here. I hope that through this cooperation, we can bring mankind into a new era." Korolev greeted Von Braun as he entered the command room and greeted the team.

"This is our common goal." Von Braun nodded, also expressing recognition of Korolev's ability.

Soviet experts, including Korolev, are convinced of the von Braun team. Without this team, the Soviet Union would never have made such great progress in the field of rockets. This kind of respect is completely based on von Braun.

My expertise does not involve whether the other party is a German.

After a friendly expression of goodwill, Korolev said to the others, "The party and the country are waiting for the news of our victory. This launch is of great significance to all mankind. The people of the motherland are eagerly looking forward to it, and we

heavy responsibility."

In other rooms of the launch site, a series of evaluations are being carried out, from direction to humidity, to find the most suitable meteorological conditions. The whole process is methodical and orderly.

As the no-questions-asked answers from all parties came into the command room through the microphone, the expressions of Kolyrov and von Braun did not soften at all. This launch mission was unusual because there was an artificial satellite in the R7 rocket.

"There is nothing unusual about the companion number."

"The R7 rocket has been inspected and there are no abnormalities."

"The weather conditions are good and suitable for rocket launch missions."

Korolev said into the microphone, "All conditions are in place to request a launch mission."

"Permission." Accompanied by a rustling sound, approval came from the other end of the microphone.

The countdown began. With every second that passed, the pressure at the entire Baikonur Space Launch Center seemed to increase. The R7 rocket ignited successfully. Under the thrust of the tail flame, the rocket flew upwards from the launch pad. The entire launch process was very smooth.

, but this is just the beginning.

It was not until the rocket entered the predetermined orbit and the successful release of the artificial satellite was confirmed that the Baikonur Space Launch Center fell into a sea of ​​joy.

Immediately, TASS reported on the success of the launch mission, "The first artificial earth satellite has been born and was successfully launched by the Soviet Union... The artificial earth satellite will pave the way for space travel, which seems to indicate that the current generation will witness

How do people in the new socialist society use free and autonomous labor to turn mankind's boldest dreams into reality."
