Volume 13 Moral Struggle Chapter 54 Diplomatic Struggle
Because the schedule of the imitation question is very tight, it becomes any correct
After staying in Paris for less than an hour, Pei Chengyi met with the French Minister of Defense four times, and finally issued a joint statement on the old month flying day. Although both the Republic and the French authorities acknowledged the need to strengthen cooperation in the field of non-Ran Unicom security. However, in the view of many Western news media, especially the news media of mainland European countries led by France, this is a key statement for the Republic to carry out in-depth military cooperation with the EU, and a key step for the Republic to improve relations with the EU.
In this statement, there is only one Ranhui of great significance, that is, "non-traditional security"
"Traditional security" is easier to understand. It is a security issue that is directly related to the basic elements of the country such as sovereignty, territory, and citizens. To put it bluntly, it is military threats and armed aggression from other countries. "Non-traditional security" is not so easy to understand. After excluding armed invasion, there are many security issues that affect the country, and many of them do not come from abroad. For example, whether a country's food is hygienic is a very important security issue. In other words, this is an vague and ambiguous word, and no international conclusion is made on its specific meaning.
Of course, this cannot be blamed on the Republic for playing tricks in wording.
You should know that the first person to use this word was the United States. After the "Turning the Thug Incident", in order to give a reason to send troops to Iraq and Afghanistan, the U.S. authorities regarded the threats of Islamic extremist organizations to the United States as "non-traditional security issues." and believed that these issues affected the fundamental interests of the United States, so the United States had reason to use the national war machine. In fact, everyone knew that "Turning the Incident is just the second "Pearl Harbor Incident." It was a security incident created by the United States for war, and they all involved the United States in war. In this way, the United States first abused the term "non-traditional security" and used it to serve its own national interests.
The problem is that the American news media will not let the Republic go.
Because the time zone in the United States is several hours later than France, the U.S. Eastern Time, that is, after the representatives of the Republic and the French Ministry of Defense issued a joint statement in Paris, the American news media took action. They claimed that France betrayed the Western security system established after World War II, and opened a backdoor on the strategic defense line that concerns hundreds of millions of Europeans, giving powerful forces from the East the opportunity to enter European thugs and control Europe. In other words, France has carried out comprehensive and in-depth cooperation with the Republic on security issues, which not only betrayed the entire Western world, but also posed a major threat to Western civilization. The implication is that other European countries can think twice about security issues. Don't follow France's footsteps.
Compared with American news media, European news media are much more rational.
When reporting the incident, AFP clearly mentioned that the "non-traditional security" claimed by both sides will not only not threaten the Western world, but will also find a new way for the development of the Western world. Before this, the Western world dominated by the United States was striving for hegemony, and European countries played the role of "accomplices". Although hegemony brought hundreds of prosperity to Western civilization, it can be said that since the Renaissance, Western civilization surpassed Eastern civilization and became the dominant civilization. Especially after the bourgeois revolution and industrial revolution, Western civilization became a civilization with hegemony characteristics in one fell swoop. In the next few hundred years, the Western world not only completed its transformation, but also followed Portugal.
The fleets of Spain, the Netherlands and Britain quickly occupied the entire world, reached their peak at the end of the old century and the beginning of the century, and showed the world the huge destructive power of Western civilization during the two world wars. However, on this "hegemony road", Western civilization has reached its end. The rapidly rising republic represents a once-declined civilization. If the "hegemony strategy" is continued, not only will the Euro-Yuan countries not be able to gain benefits from it, but even the United States will come to the bottom. In this case, for European countries, it is not possible to obtain new life by relying on anyone, but only by finding the right path. And unswervingly can we get rid of the dilemma and achieve more brilliant and more prominent achievements.
If AFP represents the French official, then several other European news media may not necessarily represent the Fagu government.
When Frankfurt Finance Xingang News Agency reported the incident, although he expressed concerns about France's departure from the EU and negotiations on security issues with the Republic at the beginning, the focus of the whole report was not concern, but support and expectation of the French authorities' bold attempts. In the words of the news commentator of the agency, when Europe is on the verge of death on development issues, the French authorities can withstand huge pressure and take a new step in development issues, not only serving French citizens, but also boldly exploring for the entire Europe. The implication is that if France succeeds in this step, Germany will definitely actively follow up.
Like Germany, Italian news media have similar views.
Overall, most European countries support France's initiatives and hope to receive them
effect.
Of course, this is also a big laugh with Yan Jingyu's next visit to Pailin, Rome, Madrid, etc.
On the day of the old moon, Pei Chengyi followed Yan Jing
With Paris' achievements, the problem was not that complicated when it came into contact with the German Minister of Defense. Not much different from the previous arrangements, the German Minister of Defense first proposed to strengthen military exchanges, hoping to cooperate on some military technologies that both sides are interested in, and then talked about the issue of security cooperation with the Republic. According to the arrangement, Pei Chengyi proposed to discuss security cooperation matters throughout the EU or on some countries within the EU. That is to say, after Germany expressed its interest, the Republic took advantage of the situation to turn bilateral cooperation into multilateral cooperation.
Because it was ventilated before the visit and was prepared, on the 2nd of the old month, the French authorities announced that they welcomed other European countries, including Germany, to join the security cooperation with the Republic, and stated that as long as there are enough EU member states willing to cooperate with the Republic, France will actively promote the signing of relevant agreements between the EU and the Republic, or the internal EU group and the Republic to sign security cooperation agreements.
At this point, Yan Jingyu's trip to Europe achieved the first major result.
There is no doubt that the US news media, who have not yet recovered, once again criticized Germany. Because the United States still has troops stationed in Germany and is a nominal occupying country, some American news media even believe that the United States should use its troops stationed in Germany to make the German authorities honest.
Come
The problem is, the US authorities are very calm.
It was not until the thugs on October, when Yan Jingyu was about to fly to Italy that the US authorities were the assistant secretary of state responsible for European affairs issued a statement, claiming that the US authorities attached great importance to the choices of EU member states on security issues, and hoped that European countries could issue statements and take action when they considered fullness and maturity. It can be seen that the United States does not believe that European countries would turn to the republic, but regarded France and Germany's behavior as putting pressure on the United States, hoping that the United States could offer higher increases.
According to some information that was later declassified, as early as the Likounmian, that is, after the EU announced that it would help Turkey with observer status to carry out post-war reconstruction, the United States had secret contacts with major EU member states such as France, Germany and Italy, and discussed the issue of joint development of new technologies. If we continue to trace it forward, when Lidong is around 10, that is, when the Republic launched the first electric vehicle equipped with composite batteries to the international market. The United States had secret cooperation with Europe, and in the end it could not reach an agreement on fund allocation and results sharing, and it was divided. The products of the United States' "Alpha Jigo" and Europe's "Zeus Jigo thug" were the first European composite batteries with independent intellectual property rights that were released in Piennian.
It can be seen that the United States and Europe have similar foundations in the main technologies related to the "electricity revolution", so the problem of cooperation is not very big. It is precisely this way. When the US Secretary of State visited Paris and Pailin urgently, they both mentioned the relevant plans to restart joint research, but neither the French nor the German authorities immediately responded. In this way, when France and Germany made a fuss about security issues and made an "alliance" with the Republic, the first idea of the US authorities was that France and Germany hoped to gain greater voice and dominance in technical cooperation and could enjoy the development results equally, rather than being dominated by the United States. The new address of this site has been changed to: Talk about 0 muscles and shoals. Please read it in Guangbai!
The problem is that the United States cannot make concessions on technical issues.
As mentioned earlier, even if the US federal government is willing to make concessions, Congress and the large American companies with veto power will not share technological achievements with Europe.
In this case, the US authorities have no choice but to pin their hopes on Italy.
In any case, Italy is one of the "three carriages". Even if its comprehensive national strength is far inferior to Germany and France, its influence cannot be underestimated.
According to the data released by the EU itself, in Shinnian, Italy's economic strength was only 60% of Germany, France's 7 gills, and its comprehensive national strength was only equivalent to France's Dan and Germany's witch. Take economic strength as an example. Although Italy ranks third in the EU, it is only higher than Britain, which is fourth, and gravel higher than Spain, which is fifth. That's why almost everyone believes that France and Germany are the "first group" of the EU. Italy can only be regarded as the leader of the "second group".
Sheep are far inferior to France and Germany. In this way, if Italy opposes security issues, France and Germany will not be able to elevate "bilateral relations" to "multilateral relations" and will not be able to serve as a passenger to the republic within the EU. More importantly, if France and Germany want to promote the process of European integration, they cannot abandon Italy and must fully respect Italy. In this case, regardless of whether the French and German authorities can accept it, they must reserve some security cooperation with the republic.
In fact, when the US Secretary of State visited Rome, he had received a verbal promise from the Italian authorities.
It is precisely this that the US authorities issued a statement when Yan Jingyu was about to visit Rome. He reminded Italy not to forget its previous promises.
The problem is that the US authorities once again "overestimated" Italy.
Historically, Italy is definitely the most beautiful among European countries. As the oldest country in Europe, the second most ancient country, Greece and Italy, the domestic problems are more important than other countries in the continent. Italy has not experienced the test of blood and fire like France and Germany. You should know that France in the modern sense is based on the foundation of the Great Revolution. Germany in the modern sense is laid by the iron-blooded prime minister Bismarck. Italy can transform from multiple city-states into a sovereign state. Although it has also experienced wars, its tragic and difficult degree is far less than that of France and Germany. It is precisely because of this that in the eyes of many Europeans, Italy is a country that is loose, bloodless, and good at opportunistic. It is true that in the eyes of many Europeans, Italy is a country that is loose, bloodless, and good at opportunistic.
.Historically, no matter whether Italy is strong or not, few European countries take Italy seriously, and almost all those who take Italy seriously will regret it. For example, during World War II, Germany took Italy seriously, believing that Italy could shoulder the battle on the North African battlefield alone and help Germany share the pressure. It can be said that it is precisely because of Italy that Germany would launch the Barbarossa operation without defeating Britain and drag the Soviet Union into the war. As a result, Italy not only did not deal with the British army on the North African battlefield, but was defeated by several British infantry units, forcing the German authorities to send their main troops to North Africa while the Eastern Front was very tight, and it also consumed a lot of troops in the Mediterranean.
This time, the United States treats Italy as a phoenix and cannot escape the regret.
On the day of the mouth and the moon, Yan Jingyu and his group came to Rome. Because the US authorities had already spoken and the wording was obviously targeted, many people believed that the Italian sect would not discuss security issues with the Republic, or at least it would not publicly discuss this issue two days before Yan Jingyu visited Rome, in order to avoid offending the United States.
The reality is exactly the opposite.
Before the official meeting with Pei Chengyi, the Italian Minister of Defense mentioned to the reporter who interviewed him separately that Italy will cooperate with the Republic on security issues, and will work with France and Germany to strive for the EU to sign a security cooperation agreement with the Republic, so that all EU member states can benefit from it.
Before the outside world could recover, the Italian government spokesperson also issued a statement that the Italian Prime Minister would not make any demands that exceed France and Germany when meeting with the heads of state of the Republic, but only hoped that the republic authorities could treat all EU member states fairly, justly and openly.
Only then did the US authorities understand.
In this farce, Italy plays the role of "undercover".
Judging from the statements of the Italian authorities, before the US Secretary of State visits Paris, France, Germany and Italy reached a secret agreement, France and Germany took a tough stance and took the initiative to approach the republic. Italy's mission is to paralyze the United States and make the United States miss the best opportunity to take tough measures.
This is exactly the case.
After Italy issued the statement, it was too late for the United States to take action. Judging from the situation at that time, the United States, in addition to continuing to publicly accuse France, Germany and Italy of European countries that are willing to cooperate with the Republic of China, could only use the last card, that is, let the United Kingdom do sabotage, so that the EU cannot sign a security agreement with the Republic. The problem is that this is not very meaningful. Because the EU has dozens of member states, even if there are no Britain to do anything, as long as there are a few small countries to make trouble, it can drag the security agreement between the Republic and the EU into a piece of waste paper. Therefore, from the beginning, France, Germany and Italy did not intend to promote the security cooperation model with the Republic within the entire enemy alliance, but instead hoped to use this method to form a small group within the EU. That is, to take this opportunity to promote the EU's military integration process. In this way, even if the UK makes trouble, it will not be able to organize France, Germany and Italy to get close to the Republic. As long as the EU security group with France, Germany and Italy as the core forms a scale and has sufficient strategic defense capabilities, the EU's military integration process can be steadily advanced and ultimately replace the United States' position on European security issues.
In short, judging from the situation at that time, if the US authorities want to save the situation, they can only give in to the EU, that is, to provide many advanced technologies including the production process of old-level composite battery, and to allow the EU to gain the dominance of scientific research, at least to have an equal voice with the United States.

That's right, on the Old Moon Feather Day, the US President held an emergency meeting at the White House.
On this day, when Yan Jingyu was flying to Madrid on a special plane, a spokesperson for the US White House announced that the US president would accept the invitation of the British Prime Minister and visit the UK at the beginning of the month.
It can be seen that when it comes to advanced technology, the US authorities have not made concessions.
When things develop to this point, the most important thing to care about is not the security cooperation between the Republic and European countries, but whether the EU will be in two pounds. The pull of superpowers will split up and make Europe's modernization regress for several years. You should know that Britain's primary identity is the number one ally of the United States, not the fourth member of the European Union. If the US authorities show off to the British government, the UK will have no other choice and can only continue to play the role of the United States pawn.
