This will be a key decision for the future direction of the German economy. It is equally important to find a way to return to Eastern Europe and Germany's monetary policy. Before the war, 15% of Germany's exports were sold to Eastern and Southeastern Europe. By the end of the war, that percentage had dropped to one percent.

Since Europe split into two opposing camps, the foreign trade of the Federal Republic of Germany has been the most affected of all European countries. The lack of state and political sovereignty hindered the development of the Federal Republic of Germany's trade with Eastern Europe.

The Western embargo on high-tech investment goods from Eastern countries has also had a severe negative impact on the traditional exports of Federal German industry. Therefore, although the Federal Republic of Germany is the largest trading partner of Eastern Europe, the proportion of its exports in trade with Eastern and Southeastern European countries still cannot exceed 5%.

The situation is obvious. Confined to Western Europe, the economic development of the Federal Republic of Germany has become more and more bottlenecked. After two times of appreciation of the mark after the war, Germany’s monetary policy has been decoupled from the weak currency that the United States had left behind. To continue to develop the Federal Republic of Germany, it must be To think of a way.

Of course, there are still economic and trade exchanges between the Federal Republic of Germany and the GDR. Although the diplomatic relations between the two Germanys are still at a freezing point, business is business. The GDR does business with Eastern Europe, and the Federal Republic of Germany does business with the GDR, but diplomatically, the Han and the thieves are still at odds.

This kind of relationship Alan Wilson is actually very familiar with. The politics is cold and the economy is hot. The relationship between a big country in the future and the Japanese who live well in their small days is a variant of this relationship.

"As a matter of fact, Brandt intends to break the ice with the East. Some staff members have already prepared a record for expanding economic and trade relations with the East. There are probably several aspects." Pokina took a document to her sister, The above is nothing more than the scope of economic and trade development with the GDR. For example, it is committed to developing cooperation with the GDR in the fields of economy, science and technology, transportation, post and telecommunications, and has adopted a more active economic policy.

Reached agreements on the import and export of iron and steel products and non-ferrous metals, and import and export of machinery manufacturing products.

Strengthen the leverage of interest-free overdraft loans in German intra-German trade, which has both economic and political significance; non-commercial financial payments to promote personnel exchanges between the two countries, etc.

"Let that man be right again." Anna glanced at the content and began to sigh, "He said that if we want to continue to develop, we must look east. But what about the status of the GDR? Acknowledging that Germany has been divided into two Facts about the country?"

Neither the Federal Republic of Germany nor the GDR are now members of the United Nations, and previously signed documents avoided the use of country names, instead replacing the two countries with the terms of the Westmark region and the Eastmark region.

"Brandt is different from the previous government, and I can't inquire about the specific situation. However, this government does have such a voice. We should do our affairs first, and don't care about political affairs first." Pokina said decisively, "We will discuss a result in a few days, discussing how to look east."

The discussion of monetary policy began at Heilmann Manor. The long-term problem that plagued Germany after the war, the imported inflation caused by the balance of payments and foreign exchange surplus, has always been a major stubborn disease of economic policy. The inflationary pressure derived from the foreign trade economy has caused the mark to fall into the pressure of appreciation again and again.

After the run on gold in France, the United States dealt with the run on gold, but when Germany expressed its goodwill, it did not print any less money, which made the German economic circle even think that Germany is doing something wrong, knowing that Americans have no scruples , should run on gold with the French.

In the face of Pokina's call, bankers from all over the world are very generous, and the capital market has the largest capital. Although the two sisters started their business through tobacco, in any case, the Hellmann sisters are already the most powerful enterprises in Germany. .

There is one more thing to say here. From the post-war period to the present, Germany has not had its own wholly-owned tobacco group, and has been importing tobacco to meet the needs of German smokers. German tobacco is still greatly influenced by the United Kingdom.

Lianfa or Lianying, whether to support the devaluation of the US dollar, continue to be linked to gold, or enjoy the last supper, will all have a result in this manor. There is a consensus at the beginning, and now the Deutsche Bank group has 780 billion US dollars in the hands. Cash must not sit still while the Bretton Woods system is crumbling.

"Based on the current import and export data, there is still pressure for the mark to appreciate, at most next year, otherwise it will lead to inflation, but it has only been a year since the last time the mark was appreciated. If the mark is to be appreciated again next year, the interval will only be short. Two years is not a long-term solution either.”

Nevertheless, the appreciation of the mark did not dampen Germany's balance of payments surplus in the slightest, which was completely unexpected. About a quarter of Germany's national income depends on foreign trade, and if this trade goes wrong, it will lead to a dire economic crisis.

"Support France or support the United Kingdom? It's all to avoid the economic risks brought to Germany by violent fluctuations. It mainly depends on who is more beneficial to Germany. Let's talk more about your own views." One option is more supported.

In the port of Southampton, the wrapped large skin attracted the attention of many people, and these onlookers were soon dispersed, and it could only be seen from the outline that these were two large fighter jets.

Soon these two unheard-of fighter jets became the rarities that British military enthusiasts most wanted to decipher.

There is no way to do this. It is very difficult to find a hidden place for the test flight due to the limitation of the British local environment. Moreover, the test flight of the new fighter jet in Australia is not flawless. Or suspicious allies take notice.

Because of this, when it comes to the secret work of shipping back to China, I can only say that I do my best, keep it secret if it can be kept secret, and conduct a test flight generously if it is really difficult.

After years of investment by the female president, the supreme authority only provided a shell, and the f15 eagle, who was left to fumble slowly, finally came to fruition.

This is also related to the current replacement of British air power. The Vietnam War has proved that the high altitude and high speed of second-generation fighter jets is not an indispensable indicator. On the contrary, everything relies on missiles and only treats fighter jets as launch platforms. The Air Force suffered huge losses.

Compared with the f105 and f4 fighters, the MiG fighter has an obvious advantage that it is small and flexible, has a strong ability to hover in the air, and has an advantage in close-quarters combat. Due to the small size of the MiG fighter, it was difficult for US pilots to detect it.

Once the MiG fighter jet suddenly flew from the rear of the US F4 fighter jet to the F4 fighter jet, the F4 fighter jet would be caught in a fight with the MiG fighter jet. This is the last thing the Air Force wants to see. In air combat, MiG fighters will lure U.S. aircraft to the low-to-medium-altitude airspace where their own performance is limited, and fire at U.S. aircraft with cannons.

Second-generation fighter jets participated in the Vietnam War and were tested in actual combat, only to find that they could not meet the requirements of actual combat, because the way of combat has changed a lot from what was previously expected.

High altitude and high speed are not the main scope of air combat, so the performance advantages of second-generation aircraft are not the decisive factor in determining air combat.

Alan Wilson is very familiar with this kind of incomprehension. It is like the colonial era when Britain encountered an opponent who was weaker than itself in all aspects. Because the more backward army was out of the comfort zone of the British army.

In order to replace the old British models that are obviously not in line with modern warfare, the Ministry of National Defense has begun to pay attention to the pre-research of a new generation of fighter jets.

Of course, Pamela Mountbatten also followed her husband's suggestion and officially named it Typhoon as the bidding model for the new generation of fighter jets of the British Air Force.

Pamela Mountbatten can be described as full of confidence, "I believe that this time the British Air Force will shock the world again."

"I have no doubts about this!" Alan Wilson nodded. It is estimated that McDonnell Douglas is still far from the test flight. The F15 and the Tornado fighter were tested in the same year. As for the typhoon? The first flight in the 1990s, the service has entered the 21st century.

From this, we can see how unreliable multi-country joint development is~lightnovelpub.net~ I really want to unify the standards. The best way is actually the F35 route. contract.

"I asked Markins to participate in the test flight on behalf of the Ministry of Defense. As for the Secretary of Defense, as long as the performance is outstanding, I believe it will not be a problem. Of course, I will discuss this with the Prime Minister. The key must be a good aircraft."

Pamela Mountbatten said with an expectant look that depends entirely on you, "My dear, you must give me a promise. No matter how hard I work, it's all for you."

"No problem, it is definitely an epoch-making work." Alan Wilson is full of confidence, not even a shadow of the wind, the new Typhoon fighter will definitely surprise everyone.

The fighter jet is powered by the turbofan engine provided by Rolls-Royce. Rolls-Royce can be trusted in the engine field, because the world's first turbofan engine is the work of Rolls-Royce.

In the field of turbofan engines, Rolls-Royce has been developing for nearly two decades, and it is definitely a national treasure company in the UK.

It can be said that almost everything that can fly in the UK has a place for Rolls-Royce, and the blessing of the order has also made Rolls-Royce improve its engine all the time.

A few days later, Defense Secretary Dennis Healy saw the test flight of the new fighter jet that had been rumored, and Markins, as the permanent secretary, undertook the introduction work.

"Indeed!" Dennis Healy also admitted that the compliment from the Permanent Secretary was justified. This fighter jet, code-named Typhoon, is indeed quite beautiful.
