Chapter 779 European Summit

  After contacting the heads of several major European countries overnight, a provisional European summit was held in Brussels the next day.

  Originally, the leaders of various countries are very busy. It is almost impossible to gather so many heavyweights to meet together in such a short period of time. However, in the current critical situation, the impossible has become possible, because every country is aware of the seriousness of the matter, even Germany is no exception.

   Moreover, even if the supreme leader cannot attend in person, they can also send a deputy, the speaker of the parliament, or even the foreign minister to participate.

  When the sun rose in the early morning of the 7th, the airport in Brussels showed a busy scene. The special planes of the leaders of various countries landed here one after another, and were picked up by luxury cars one after another.

Although the United Kingdom is not a country that uses the euro, but because it is very closely integrated with the economy of the euro zone and its GDP base is quite large, the United Kingdom also sent relevant special envoys to participate in this plan to save Europe at this summit. come.

   "Ladies and gentlemen, I believe you should already know the seriousness of the matter!"

  At the beginning of the meeting, Fan Rompuy did not talk nonsense, and said straight to the point, "We must reach a plan to save Europe during this period of time to save the confidence of the current market."

This is a large conference room located in the Belgian Prime Minister's Office. Heads of European countries sit in rows around a huge round table. There are microphones and simultaneous translation equipment in front of them. Those leaders who can't be on the scene, they participate in the meeting in this way.

  Hearing Fan Rompuy's words, the eyes of dozens of people present all turned to German Foreign Minister Frank Walter, and an unnatural expression flashed across his face.

  Frank Walter, a middle-aged man with a typical German face. After being nominated as Minister of Foreign Affairs by the Prime Minister, he worked hard to integrate the diplomatic resources inside and outside Germany, and he did very well in this position, and was soon promoted to Deputy Prime Minister of Germany because of his outstanding work.

  Since the huge rescue plan of 750 billion euros was proposed, the remaining work is to pass the review of the national parliaments. In addition to the 250 billion of the IMF and the 150 billion of the European Central Bank, Germany has the largest rescue figure allocated, and the figure of about 30 billion euros accounts for 10% of the entire rescue plan.

  Naturally, this number has encountered strong pressure in the German parliament, so that the parliaments of other countries have passed it one after another, and the German parliament is still arguing about this matter. Even in the current ruling party, the CDU, it is difficult to unify internal opinions.

   It is under such circumstances that the rescue plan of 750 billion euros has been postponed again and again until the crisis in Greece further erupts.

   "Prime Minister Dorothea has personally attended the meeting of the parliament, just today!"

After being embarrassed for a while, Walter had to bite the bullet and explain, "Since learning about the situation in Greece and the whole of Europe, Prime Minister Dorothea is determined to personally promote the implementation of the rescue plan as soon as possible. She has now personally persuaded the members in the parliament , and strive to pass the package later today."

"Sure?"

  French Foreign Minister Fabius, who was beside him, frowned and asked displeasedly, "Is it really certain that this plan can be passed later?"

   Fabius, the current Minister of Foreign Affairs of France. He was older, with graying hair and eyebrows. However, even with the precipitation of many years, it still cannot change his violent temper.

"must be able to!"

  As the two pillar countries of the Eurozone, France has always been world-renowned in terms of inclusiveness, so when this plan was proposed in the French Parliament, it was quickly passed.

   Speaking of numbers, France's apportionment is not much less than Germany's. However, Fabius, as the Minister of Foreign Affairs, was naturally upset when he saw that the parliamentarians from neighboring countries were so preoccupied and disregarded the overall situation, and he was a little blunt when he spoke.

Walter naturally heard the dissatisfaction in the other party's words, and naturally did not give the other party a good face. He responded unceremoniously and forcefully at the same time, "The crisis has affected the German capital market, or the confidence of investors. How can we sit idly by in such a situation?"

"OK OK!"

  Seeing that everyone was showing signs of fighting spirit, Fan Rompui hurriedly smoothed things over, "As long as this plan can be passed smoothly, I believe the confidence in the market will recover a lot today."

"But…"

  Although everyone believes in the ability of the German female chancellor, if she goes out in person, she will definitely get twice the result with half the effort, but everyone's heart is still heavy, because even if this time can be passed smoothly, what about the next time?

  Barroso opened his mouth, wanting to express the worries in his heart, but seeing the faces of the people around him, he swallowed the words back.

   "In addition to these, I hope that after the gentlemen go back, they will sort out an accurate figure. In the next six months to one year, the funds needed by governments and possible deficits will be synchronized to the data terminal of the ECB."

Van Rompuy also suggested, "The flight of funds and the expenditure of the country will change at any time. Perhaps 750 billion euros cannot guarantee sufficient assistance to these countries. We must be fully prepared. The ECB is also making preparations, and at any time Ready to inject ample liquidity into the market."

   "Show it off, gentlemen!"

   He didn't rest all night, and Fan Rompuy was exhausted. After saying this, he let out a long sigh and said helplessly.

"no!"

  Unexpectedly, as soon as he said this, it caused an uproar.

  For a country like Belgium, they are not considered a powerful country and cannot dominate any international situation. Most of the time they follow changes in the international situation. But for Britain, Spain, Germany and even France, they are either superpowers now, or they were superpowers in history, and they used to guide the whole world for a while, and now this situation is obviously not what they want to see .

In other words, the original purpose of the establishment of the European Community was to eliminate the losses caused by exchange rates in trade among countries, but soon after the establishment of the largest economy in the world, the leaders of these countries had ambitions and wanted to Use the euro to compete with the U.S. dollar and **** the right to issue world currencies. In this case, Fan Rompuy's statement obviously does not conform to the minds of other people present.

   "The whole thing is already clear!"

Fabius said without hesitation, "It is entirely the U.S. that instructed their investment banks and rating agencies to play tricks in order to pass on the crisis. But it doesn't matter. Now they are also affected. I believe they should understand that there is no danger under the collapse of the nest." The truth of the egg."

"right!"

Italian Foreign Minister Mogherini echoed, "Just yesterday, Moody's also published a rating report on the Italian banking industry. Of course, it is not only for the Italian banking industry, but also for the UK, Spain, Portugal, etc. and Ireland."

  Mogherini, Italy's youngest foreign minister. He was tall and handsome. If he doesn't engage in politics, but devotes himself to the film industry, he can definitely become an excellent actor.

   At least in Italy, many people think so.

As he spoke, he looked at the faces of the heads of state who had been named. After seeing the face of the other party sank, he was naturally overjoyed and continued to provocate, "I vaguely saw a huge conspiracy. It's not just A conspiracy not against us Italy, but against the whole of Europe, against the euro."

   “Even for the euro, we have to do something.”

  He then suggested, "At least we can communicate with the United States, and maybe Huaxia can also consider it. Combine the strength of everyone to issue a statement to stabilize the market together and bind them with us."

"right!"

Walter's eyes lit up immediately, and he said happily, "Even if they intend to target us, it is impossible to continue so blatantly. As long as we tie them together, they can get a chance to prove themselves to the market. In addition, some investors can be deceived to cover up the conflicts between the two parties, and I believe they will be very happy to do so.”

   "Yes, without further ado, it is now!"

  Strong execution has always been a typical advantage of the Germans, and this is not surprising for Walter. When he sorted out his thoughts, he quickly suggested.

   But the answer to him was silence.

  According to the principle of reciprocity, under the current circumstances, most of them are at best able to talk to the US foreign minister. Even if they talk to the US president, they are not qualified to discuss such matters.

   Even Fan Rompuy himself may not have this qualification. Unless he has the authorization of all European countries, then he can negotiate with the United States in an open and honest manner.

   Soon, everyone wanted to understand this truth, exchanged glances tacitly, and left the table to start looking for phones. They needed to obtain domestic authorization as soon as possible.

  Fifteen minutes later, the last foreign minister came back to the room, and nodded towards Fan Rompuy who was looking forward to it. Everyone felt relieved and realized that this matter had finally come true.

   Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Fan Rompuy dialed the hotline of the United States. After explaining the pros and cons, Fan Rompuy quietly waited for the other party's response.

Naturally, the negotiations with the United States were very smooth. The black president not only happily agreed to the request from the European side, but also actively suggested that the two sides sign a series of currency swap agreements, including major European currencies such as the euro and the British pound, to support In Europe at present, the two sides ended the telephone talks in a hello and me good atmosphere.

  A black president can't tear himself apart from Europe right now, and never will. Although the two sides have been fighting openly and secretly in private, they still maintain enough friendship and peace on the surface.

   "A hypocrite!"

   After Fan Longpei hung up the phone, his face showed resentment.

  In this way, the United States has basically put aside all responsibility for the crisis, and has also played the role of a savior intentionally or unintentionally. But now the European powers don't have the heart to compete for these limelights. What they need now is the smooth review and approval of the entire rescue plan by the German Parliament.

   "Why don't you also make a phone call with Huaxia?"

   While everyone was waiting idly, Italian Foreign Minister Mogherini suggested again, "If you make a statement with them or even Japan, I believe it will be far more powerful than a single statement!"

  When he said this, everyone couldn't help but admire him even more, because he was the one who proposed to issue a joint statement with the United States before. It seems that in addition to his appearance, this person is also very powerful in international politics.

   Naturally, no one can refuse such a proposal.

  Fan Rompui, who was fully authorized, quickly dialed the hotlines of Huaxia and Tokyo. Not surprisingly, the two parties also readily agreed. There is no other reason. The capital market of their own country has also been severely impacted by this round of European debt crisis.

   Thanks to book friends such as cpower, Flying Elf, Seeking Stars, Old Nafa Takong, etc. for voting monthly! I'm sorry it's too late today, so I won't say too much, I hope everyone will continue to actively support, thank you very much!
