Why was Churchill so based on blocking the deal? Is it just because of an electric slag remelting pot? It is certainly not, because MI6 informed him of a shocking news that the Soviet Union, France and Germany would unite to form a high-tech enterprise. This enterprise not only has its main business direction worrying, but the three involved alone are enough to make the British wary.

Needless to say, the Soviet Union is the biggest enemy of Britain at this stage. Germany doesn’t need to say much. It was finally defeated by World War II. Now this guy is starting to move again. And he actually seduced the French with the Soviet Union. If these three families really cooperate, wouldn’t the British Empire’s diplomacy over the past five hundred years be wasted?

Churchill had to worry. Once the axis formed by the Soviet Union, France and Germany was formed on the European continent, it would mean that Britain was marginalized, which would mean that the British Empire could no longer unite and play with the European continent in the midst of applause.

Churchill, who was burning ass, arrived in France again. This was his second visit to Paris in two months. Compared with the last time, the old smoker seemed a little anxious.

"Mr. President, how did you assure me last time that you promised France will remain in the free world forever, but why did I hear that you are ready to cooperate with the Soviet Union? You can't keep your word, right?"

De Gaulle was not surprised at Churchill's arrival. He had already been well prepared, so he slowly replied: "Who told you that I will cooperate with the Soviet Union? It's appropriate to rumor!"

Churchill's mouth twitched, and he was speechless to Charles de Gaulle. Last time he said it was a rumor, but this time he still made this trick. Damn, you treat me as 250, right?

Churchill suddenly became a little angry. He solemnly asked: "Are the rumors? Airbus is also a rumor? Are you saying that this company does not exist at all?"

Charles de Gaulle replied with a smile: "You are talking about Airbus. This is not a rumor, but it is not a government act, but a purely civil business act. Free France does not have any law to prevent normal civil business acts. If this is done, it will be a poisonous dish!"

Churchill felt that his temples were dancing, and Charles de Gaulle really regarded him as 25. The bullshit civil business behavior was about to set up an aviation technology company. How could it have nothing to do with the French government? Isn’t this a pure deception?

However, Charles de Gaulle replied lightly: "I must correct your statement. The French government's investment in Airbus only accounts for 15%, which is quite small. All of the remaining 20% ​​of the shares held by France are owned by private investors. And I must also remind you that the company has no relationship with the Soviet government, and 20% of the investment comes from Umbrella, a large multinational company and has a large market share in the United States. Even if its chairman is a Russian expatriate, it cannot be determined that this is the investment of the Soviet government, right?"

Churchill was unmoved and asked coldly: "I heard that Russian capital occupies 45% of the equity. You just explained the source of 20% and what about the remaining 25%? Is it not convenient for you to explain it clearly?"

De Gaulle replied with a smile: "Of course not. 5% of the remaining 25% come from the Bofos family in Sweden, 10% come from the Sbeloski family, and the remaining 10% come from the Northern Industrial Group."

Churchill's mouth twitched. He was so familiar with these companies. They were either white gloves from the Soviet government or pro-Soviet. Just here, you, De Gaulle, dares to say that there is no Soviet background here. The bullshit folk business behavior, I want to spit on you!

Churchill understood that France was indeed preparing to have an ambiguous relationship with the Soviet Union, which was absolutely not allowed for Britain, so he made a tough statement: "This is betrayal! Mr. President, this is a pure betrayal. The most important reason why France is immune to the poisoning of the ** is that it is supported by many allies from the free world, which makes the Soviet Union dare not act rashly. Now France is actually developing relations with the enemy with allies who have always been watching over each other. This is a betrayal of the entire allies! I urge you to face up to the voices of many allies and stop doing things that the relatives are happy with the enemy!"

Churchill's words were quite heavy, and there was a little bit of a urge to force the palace. However, Charles de Gaulle's reaction was very calm and did not seem to take Churchill's threat seriously. He said calmly: "The French government attaches great importance to friendship with traditional allies, but this does not mean that the French government and people will accept unreasonable threats. The French government and people have always adhered to an independent foreign policy and will never surrender to those who try to interfere in France's internal affairs!"

This meeting can be said to have ended in a bad mood, Churchill was also very angry. De Gaulle used to be enough, but now De Gaulle, who has no desires, is even more difficult and disobeying advice. What do you think?

If possible, Churchill really wanted to punch De Gaulle in the face to make the bastard sober, but he couldn't do this. If he really wanted to do this, De Gaulle would have a sufficient reason to withdraw from NATO, and Churchill was the one who took the blame for it in the end.

Lao Yan returned to the hotel angrily and summoned a staff member to discuss countermeasures urgently. At this time, our old acquaintance, Lierwen, began to play a role again. She said: "From the current situation, it is impossible to prevent France from forming the Airbus company with the Soviet Union. This is already irreversible. If we are tough, we will inevitably be fully rebounded by France. So on this issue, I suggest adopting a roundabout strategy!"

Rounding strategy? Churchill was a little dizzy and didn't understand how to deviate in this situation. The matter was obvious, and there was no room for deviance at all!

However, Li Erwen believes that: "My foreign policy has been consistent for five hundred years to prevent the European continent from forming a unified thinking. If the enemy cannot be stopped by tough means, then we might as well invade the enemy and cause him a big upside down!"

Churchill's eyes lit up. He finally knew what Learwin meant. What are the methods that British diplomatic geniuses are good at? Isn't it just a mess? In short, when Britain encounters an opponent who is incompetent to the enemy, it will try every means to invade the enemy, provoke various contradictions within the enemy and defeat them, and finally achieve the goal of dismantling the enemy.

This move has been tried and done on the European continent, and this time it should be successful. So Churchill took an urgent countermeasure. He ordered the Foreign Minister to discuss the possibility of Britain joining Airbus. Then Churchill himself immediately visited the Netherlands, Belgium, Italy and other countries, encouraging these countries to join Airbus.

Churchill's wishful thinking is like this. What is the most feared by a group or a group? Isn't it just that there are too many people and can't come up with a unified opinion? Now that the whole of Europe is joined by Airbus, it seems to be huge, and it seems that there are too many people and power. But Churchill knows these old Europe so much that everyone is petty when paying money, and he is eager to take more money when distributing dividends. Moreover, the demand for civilian passenger planes and cargo planes is very different between countries. Each family has its own opinions. Let so many miscellaneous countries gather together, Airbus can't do anything, and it can only end up in a sad end.

For Britain, as long as the Airbus company is ruined, the closer between France and the Soviet Union will be self-defeating. I have to say that this move is quite sinister. So did the French fall into the trap?

De Gaulle knew Churchill too well and British diplomatic strategies. When the British ambassador made this suggestion, he knew what the other party wanted to do. Objectively speaking, De Gaulle's expectations for Airbus were not particularly high. This company was more symbolic to him, and it was used to stabilize the Soviet Union. From the shares occupied by the French government in Airbus, it can be seen that De Gaulle just invested a little money symbolically. To put it bluntly, this little money was a cover, which was to let the Russians see the goodwill of the French. Since we, France, have shown such great kindness, it would be too much for you to shout and fight and kill in Poland?

De Gaulle's wishful thinking was to use the release of a small kindness to stabilize the Soviet Union, and to exchange for the Soviet Union to reduce the military presence on the front line of Poland and Germany. As long as the Soviet Union relieves military pressure, France will naturally be happy to be safe, and those low-level countries such as the Netherlands and Belgium will also thank France for their efforts. In this way, France's diplomatic pressure will be reduced, which is a typical example of spending small money to do big things.

Based on this, Charles de Gaulle's view of Airbus is more political. He probably never thought that the company had any great development, nor did he think that the company would become one of the world's top aviation giants in the future. In fact, when Charles de Gaulle reacted, he was a little regretful.

Of course, now De Gaulle doesn't regret it, and even thinks that he can invest less money. God knows how long the company can last. So naturally, because of the low expectations, he doesn't have much thoughts about the company's future. Even if the British clearly have bad intentions, De Gaulle thinks there is nothing casual about the British to mess with. Anyway, Airbus is just a cover.

Of course, Charles de Gaulle did not immediately agree to the British's proposal because he had to pay attention to the attitude of the Soviet Union, because the company itself was a product of eased relations with the Soviet Union. If the Soviet Union was unhappy because of the British's joining, wouldn't it be useless?

Therefore, on the one hand, Charles de Gaulle stabilized the British, and on the other hand, it also conveyed the British's proposal to the Soviet Union. To put it bluntly, this is De Gaulle's missed ball. Whether the British joins the game depends on you. You Russians will do whatever you say!

This move is also very clever. Anyway, it is an insignificant thing for Charles de Gaulle, so why bother to be a villain at the risk of offending Britain? Quickly kick the ball to the Soviet Union. The Soviet Union agreed that when Britain is a messing trick in the future, it will be the Soviet Union who will be self-inflicted. If the Soviet Union does not agree, the blame will be the Soviet Union and it will have no dime to do with France.

"This guy Charles de Gaulle is really an old fox!" Li Xiaofeng said at the Political Bureau meeting.

Why can't Li Xiaofeng tell that Charles de Gaulle is playing past the ball? He even understood Charles de Gaulle's psychological activities clearly. This guy is getting more and more fried doughy. It seems that the struggle in the National Assembly over the years has trained him.

So what is Li Xiaofeng's attitude towards the UK's proposal? Agree, yes means agree!

Didn’t Li Xiaofeng know what the British had planned and didn’t know that this was just a ten thousand-year-old messenger? Of course he knew the nature of the UK, but he also knew that being a messenger requires strength as a foundation. Not everyone can be a messenger. In the past, Britain had a strong national strength and could naturally be a messenger. But now with the decline of Britain’s national strength, I’m afraid it would be powerless to be a messenger!

Of course, Li Xiaofeng did not take the British seriously because he was full of confidence. He was not as arrogant as he agreed to join Airbus. One of the important reasons why he agreed to join the British was to consider it from an economic perspective.

It’s not that Airbus is planning to lack funds. In fact, several major shareholders of Airbus are not short of money. The Bofos family has been making a lot of money behind Li Xiaofeng’s butt over the years, and this is still apart. Look at the sister-in-law of a certain fairy, Victoria, who made a lot of money. As for the cheap father of a certain fairy, they also made a lot of money. The entire Sbelosky family is the best in the Nordic region. As for the confidants of a certain fairy, Princess Anne’s industry is not small. This time, there is almost no pressure to invest in Airbus. Although Anna in the United States is not as good as His Royal Highness, she is also at the level of a billionaire. Perhaps only the original wife of a certain fairy is a little poorer, but for the mother of the Soviet Union, it doesn’t matter whether she wants money or not.

In short, it is not stressful to the circle around Li Xiaofeng, which is just to invest a few dollars to give a certain immortal a face. Therefore, an immortal will not be hungry and will want to introduce British capital.

What Li Xiaofeng really valued was the vast so-called free world market. Previously, this market was closed to the Soviet Union due to ideological relations. Many goods from the Soviet Union and socialist groups were either rejected at all or imposed extremely high tariffs. Anyway, it was all kinds of dissatisfaction.

Li Xiaofeng now wants to use the name of Airbus to open up the Western European market. He cannot allow Americans to exclusively occupy this vast market. No matter what, the Soviet Union will get a share. But it is really difficult to get in because they don’t miss you at all, and because of ideological relations, they are still attacking you wildly, making the products of the socialist group difficult to sell. Now, jointly establishing Airbus is actually just a stepping stone for Li Xiaofeng… (To be continued.).
