At the closing ceremony that followed, Prime Minister Attlee delivered an enthusiastic speech. At the same time, he also said that the integration of the market is the premise to avoid another war in Europe. By taking advantage of each other, Europe can quickly recover from the pain of war. Going out and finally mentioning the US allies is the same view.

America's support for European union is sincere, at least in this era, because Western Europe is now too weakened.

The mainland United States and Europe are separated by an Atlantic Ocean, and it is very difficult to fight against the Soviet Union. If the Western European countries cannot recover from the war, is it not that the United States is separated from the Atlantic Ocean, and confronts the Soviet Union, an army power in Eurasia?

Therefore, the Marshall Plan was passed in the United States after the war. Although the Republican Party has always opposed it, it has not been successful in the end.

For the first time, the United States had mixed feelings about the European Community, and it was after the recovery of European countries in the 1950s. But seriously began to be wary of the European Community, trying to find a way to prevent Europe from uniting, or after the Vietnam War. Begin to surreptitiously impose restrictions on the European Community.

In this era, the United States will only hope that the European Community will develop well and stand on its side against the Soviet Union.

After Attlee's speech, there was thunderous applause from the whole venue, and Alan Wilson was among them. His happiness was sincere. After all, this was the country he lived in. Most importantly, he was not British in his last life.

In a sense, his homeland in his last life was in a sense an enemy of Britain.

In my last life, I ridiculed the United Kingdom wantonly, and I don't know how much the keyboard is broken.

Alan Wilson is different from ordinary British people. He has the legacy of thinking in his previous life. It is definitely impossible for ordinary British people to think that they are close to each other. On the contrary, the education he received was contrary to the British public opinion. The self-hypnosis of later generations of British people accepting that the sun never sets has passed has no effect on him at all.

Then he can only change his way of life. He can't stand his motherland to be a vassal, and he can't be the first.

At least for now, the British Prime Minister's speech at the Brussels meeting and the first consensus on the integration of the European film market are considered a breakthrough. The Brussels Treaty Organization has finally started to do other things from the two roles of colony and military alliance.

The future that is visible to the naked eye, at least avoids being humiliated by the United States and France. I really don’t know how the British politicians lived after the Suez Canal War in history. When the British applied to join the European Community, they were kicked in by the Americans. To apply for the European Community, they needed the approval of the French.

At that time, the French president was Charles de Gaulle, and the British asked the French to beg the French. Moreover, de Gaulle was a standard nationalist, and was completely unfriendly to the British. The negotiation process was almost humiliating, and he was rejected twice. The British lost countless smiling faces and had to wait until De Gaulle stepped down before joining.

If Britain chooses to embrace the United States, it is, as a former world hegemon, incarnating as a **** stick in the hands of the Americans, playing the role of messing up Europe, then it might as well choose to embrace Europe, at least without being splinted.

When dealing with France, there is still a psychological advantage. After all, in the past two hundred years, the United Kingdom has faced France with more wins and fewer losses.

After Prime Minister Attlee finished his speech, Robert Schumann, the chairman of the French Council of Ministers, took the stage to speak. Now the French Prime Minister's position has been changed, and it is the same as the Soviet Union's name, called the Chairman of the Council of Ministers. In fact, the role of the Prime Minister is still the role, but a name has been changed.

Robert Schuman, who has come to power now, is the seventh leader of France after more than three years since Charles de Gaulle established the interim government in 1944. The problems left over from the Fourth French Republic are still there. Changing leaders is faster than changing underwear.

"I don't know, it was George Pidour last time." Alan Wilson still didn't know who came to power, and asked his immediate boss, Cabinet Secretary Norman Brooke.

"That was two years ago, when the war money just ended." Norman Brooke frowned and mumbled, "Vincent Auriol? Leon Bloom? Paul Ramadi Eh? And then there is him, the current chairman of the French Council of Ministers, Robert Schuman, who does not know how many days he will be able to lead France?"

Robert Schuman? Alan Wilson was taken aback, as if the prototype of the European Community was called the Schumann Plan? Is it related to this person?

The European Union originated from the Schuman plan of the French foreign minister: to put the French and German steel industry under a supranational organization and completely eliminate the possibility of another war between France and Germany. Since then, it has expanded to the whole of Western Europe, and the field has also expanded to all aspects of economic cooperation. At the same time, the elimination of borders, etc., suppressed the contradiction between France and Germany.

Unexpectedly, Robert Schuman, who was later the French foreign minister, is now the chairman of the Council of Ministers leading France. Looking at it this way, Robert Schuman was later considered to be demoted and retained?

The Schuman Plan advocated that the coal and steel industries of the West European countries should be united based on the coal and steel industries of France and the Federal Republic of Germany, and that a supranational high-level agency should jointly manage the "joint venture".

In order to strengthen its control over Western Europe to counter the Soviet Union, the United States has always advocated the integration movement of Western Europe and advocated "political unity", "military unity" and "economic unity", so it also agreed with the Schumann plan. According to this plan, France, the Federal Republic of Germany Representatives of the governments of China, Italy, the Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg held negotiations in Paris for nearly a year, and signed the "European Coal and Steel Pool Treaty" in 1951.

Why didn't France begin to broker the European Coal and Steel Treaty until 1951, when the attempt to annex the Saar region failed. There is another important factor, no money.

The failure to annex Saarland and the aid of the Marshall Plan allowed the French to change their minds and lead to the emergence of the "European Coal and Steel Pooling Treaty".

Originally, the earliest efforts of the European Community had nothing to do with France, but three small countries established a common market in 1948, the Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg, after the aid of the Marshall Plan. Exemption from tariffs, free movement of goods markets and people, promotes close economic ties between the three member states.

The economic union of three small countries is regarded as the embryonic form of the European Community, and it is also regarded as the beginning of the European Union after the war.

At first, France was not interested, but in the end, the attempt to annex the Saarland region of Germany failed, so it took the next step and pulled Germany to join the newspaper group of the three small countries to keep warm.

The current Brussels Treaty Organization, of course, is completely inconsistent with the establishment of the European Community in the original history.

It is the colonial country newspaper group to keep warm, but there is still no difference in the general environment in Europe. The United States still hopes that Western Europe can be a help. Don’t let the United States fight against the Soviet Union with a bunch of poor countries that are begging for food. There are still many pro-Soviet parties in these countries. Did you not see that France has changed the Prime Minister to the Chairman of the Council of Ministers? ?

In fact, if you think about it carefully, the mentality of the United States now is similar to what Wang advocated when he was president. European countries must be self-reliant and self-reliant. Don't rely solely on the United States to fight the Soviet Union. Landlords have no surplus.

The only difference is that now the United States has not adjusted its mentality at all, and has no psychological grasp of confronting the Soviet Union. It hopes that the old imperialist countries will return to their blood and stand by themselves. There is no problem with the US's finances and national strength, but there are some psychological problems.

In the 21st century, I understand the United States under Wang's rule entirely because it really started to run out of money.

The Brussels Conference ended successfully with the emergence of a common market for films. Although it has nothing to do with such an important industry as steel and coal, it is gratifying to make a breakthrough from zero to one, as long as there are infinite possibilities from the very beginning.

There is still some time left for the Paris conference to be held next month. Prime Minister Attlee will return to China to prepare, and now the biggest event in the UK is the wedding of Crown Prince Elizabeth.

This is a great event for the British royal family after the war, and Attlee, as Prime Minister, cannot be absent.

As for Alan Wilson, he also has to return to London. His coming to Europe from London is a temporary mission. He has already finished talking with the Soviets about the engine. Of course, he wants to triumph.

On the plane back to China~lightnovelpub.net~ Norman Brook also praised Alan Wilson about the Rolls-Royce engine, saying that the negotiation was very successful, not only the orders were greatly increased, but also the market for rubber and tin ore was opened. .

"Respected cabinet secretary is too complimented." Alan Wilson said very modestly, "Actually, as long as you are good at finding opportunities, many things can have different results."

"You are indeed a person who is good at spotting opportunities, that's what Edward said. Especially good at solving financial problems. But things at home are not the same as in the colonies." Norman Brook nodded with a pun. It not only affirmed the credit for widening financial resources in British India, but also named Alan Wilson's very clever means of making money in the British Indian colonies.

"Norman, what are you talking about? Are you discussing financial issues?" Prime Minister Attlee just came out of his cabin when he heard the conversation between the two of them. You can ignore everything else. He was about to go crazy about money. .

Alan Wilson turned his head and replied directly to Prime Minister Attlee's words, "It is such a prime minister, if the Belgian and Dutch Luxembourg troops are stationed in the British-occupied areas, it is best to unify with the armaments of the British troops stationed in Germany, so as to maximize the Demonstrating combat effectiveness, which is the military integration of the Brussels Treaty Organization, I believe that as long as the assistance of the Americans is in place, it will be easier to talk about this matter, and it will also be possible to increase some income through arms purchases.”
