Section 1413 Bordeaux Peace Talks(2/2)
For free, the five billion US dollars bought half of the SAS special operations force. Others said it might not be worth it, but Li Cong felt that as long as SAS could help him train the Guards, all of this would be worth it.
worth it.
Great Russia can be said to be the most embarrassing person in this operation. They did not let their fleet come out of the Turkish Strait. Originally, they had already negotiated with a quite powerful family in Turkey, and the division of interests had also been made.
They made huge concessions just to be able to come out, but the final result turned out to be like this. The Skull and Bones Society is still very capable in the Turkish team. It can at least make that family rebel. This shows their strength. This is also
It proves the old saying that a broken ship still has three pounds of nails. Although their army did not participate in the battle, they were still invited to the peace talks. This was what they asked for, hoping to fish in troubled waters and get something.
The other parties are Egypt and Turkey. They are both participants in this war. Although no troops directly participated in the war, they still came at the request of the energy group. According to Li Cong's original words, "We are all equal."
As long as we have a role in any country or organization, we must respect others. Why can't we let others participate?" On the surface, it seems that Li Cong is helping them speak, but what is the real situation? Is this the case?
?Other people don’t know what’s going on, but the representatives of Turkey and Egypt don’t feel that they are respected at the moment. Instead, they have a not-so-good premonition that they feel like they are going to lose something. As for what it is,
Not sure anymore.
The location for the peace talks was chosen in Bordeaux, a city on the Atlantic coast of Europe, which was on the territory of the original France.
Bordeaux, formerly a port city in southwest France, has a population of 1.4 million people (in 2039). It is the fourth largest city in France, after Paris, Lyon, and Marseille. It is the capital of the Aquitaine region and is also the capital of the Aquitaine region.
It is also the capital of the Gironde department. It was once the capital of the old French province of Guyenne, and historically belonged to the Gascony region. Bordeaux is a European military, space and aviation research and manufacturing center, and a French strategic nuclear bomb research and physics center.
At the core of the experiment, it has many high-end technology institutions such as the Atomic Energy Research Center and the Megajoule Laser Project. The Bordeaux region is rich in tourism resources and has many beautiful and well-preserved medieval castles. Therefore, Bordeaux is also known as the World Wine Center, and every two years,
The Bordeaux Wine Association holds a grand international wine exhibition-vinexpo.
Most people in the world probably know this place for its red wine. Before Li Cong’s Great Wall Dry Red came out, the red wine here was the most famous in the world. Even now, it still occupies a certain place.
.
Restaurants in the city are concentrated around Gambetta Square. Most restaurants serve fresh seafood dishes, as well as authentic local dishes cooked with Bordeaux wine. Chaponfen Restaurant is one of the most famous restaurants in Bordeaux, including a pickled
The fish called "Lamprey" has a rich sauce and is very delicious.
Foie gras is a famous delicacy in France. It is high in protein and therefore very nutritious.
Bordeaux was originally the largest wine town in the world, and the red wine produced here is the most famous. The Bordeaux grape planting area is 120,000 hectares, ranking first among the three major wine-producing regions in France. Bordeaux produces 850 million bottles of wine annually, 40 of which are exported.
, accounting for 25% of France’s total wine exports, 15% of France’s foreign trade surplus is brought by Bordeaux wine. Now there is another income, that is, Li Cong’s Great Wall Dry Red sometimes chooses to import grapes here. After all,
This is the original product. If you add some additives or something, it will sell well all over the world.
Every wine estate in Bordeaux has a different story. Most of the wine is produced in family estates, which have vineyards and wine cellars. The growth, harvesting, fermentation, maturation and packaging of the wine
The entire process of bottling is completed in the manor.
The wine from the Bordeaux region has a smooth and elegant taste. It is a very elegant wine and is the "Queen of French Wine"
The climate and geographical conditions of the Bordeaux production area are unique: it faces the Atlantic Ocean, has a mild climate, diverse soil forms, and the Gironde River flows through it, so grapevines grow best here.
The eight major wineries in Bordeaux: Lafite, Latour, Margaux, Obiang, and Mouton (these five wineries are located on the left bank of the Garonne River); Chateau d'Ausson, Chateau Cheval Blanc, and Chateau Petrus (these three chateaus
Located on the right bank), there is also a famous middle class winery (reverdi).
The three rivers of Gironde, Garonne, and Dordogne divide Bordeaux into three parts: the left bank, the right bank, and the central region.
The grape-growing area on the left bank is divided into two production areas: Medoc and Graves. Medoc is divided into six villages from north to south, including Saint-Estéphane, Pouilly, Saint-Julien and Magau. Among them
Pouilly, Margaux, Saint-Julien, and Saint-Estephan are the hometowns of famous wineries. More than 80% of the famous wineries are located in these four villages. Chateau Auxon and Chateau Cheval Blanc are in Saint-Emilion on the right bank.
, Boutique Village is in Beaumont.
The venue for this meeting was a vineyard in Lafite. It was not originally transformed into a tourist venue. Although the income from tourism is also considerable, there is still a big gap compared with the winemaking industry.
Yes, it's just because there are fewer and fewer people buying their red wine around the world, so they can only honestly renovate this place. Otherwise, it will be a huge loss if no one buys so many grapes.
The scenery was pretty good. On a sunny morning, a huge negotiation since entering the new era began. The meeting was chaired by Mr. Lu Bingwen, Chairman of the Century Peace Council. This was the first time in the world that
A newly established global cooperation organization after the United Nations lost its role, its headquarters is located in Switzerland, a permanently neutral country. It originally wanted to place the negotiation venue in Switzerland, but the Swiss side refused. They did not want to get too involved in the stalemate between these big countries.
In China, everyone knows that big countries are developing their own power. What Switzerland wants is to be able to fully dominate itself. They will not rely on others just because they are stronger. They only think about their own interests.
"Everyone, I am very honored to serve as the host of this peace talk. This is the first time in my working life to hold such a grand meeting. Thank you all for giving me this opportunity????? (omitting thousands of words),
Finally, all representatives are invited to exchange your negotiation documents. Today’s content is completed, and there will be cross-over negotiations tomorrow. First, in the morning, there will be negotiations between the United States and the energy group on the Union of Europa Republics, and in the afternoon, there will be negotiations between Europa and Great Russia.
, the negotiations between Turkey and Egypt will be arranged after all negotiations are completed tomorrow night, and a conference will be held on the morning of tomorrow. All negotiators will have the opportunity to elaborate on their own negotiation requirements and content." This old guy's opening remarks were not ordinary.
It was so boring that everyone was about to fall asleep. If it weren't for their respect for this guy, a large group of people would have left early.
Everyone was quite satisfied with the arrangement of the conference. The main meeting on the first day was a meeting. Although there were so many countries and organizations participating, anyone with a discerning eye could see that only the energy group, the United States and Europa were the main ones.
As for the other people who are participating, they are probably here to watch the fun, and they may even pull a layer of skin off their bodies. For example, Egypt and Turkey, which have no strength but have strategic positions, have no such meaning.
It's impossible. After listening to the agenda of the conference, people from these two countries all thought of the Munich Agreement.
On September 29-30, 1938, British Prime Minister Chamberlain, French Prime Minister Daladier, Nazi German Head of State Hitler and Italian Prime Minister Mussolini held a meeting in Munich, Germany regarding the cession of the Sudetenland territory of the German-populated area in Czechoslovakia to Germany.
Summit.
Before the Munich Conference, there were about 3 million Germans living in Czechoslovakia.
Most of the ethnic minorities live in the Sudetenland. The German fascists used the ethnic issues in Czechoslovakia to stir up trouble and create excuses for aggression. In October 1933, Germany supported the Sudeten German Party and acted as a tool of aggression. In March 1938, Germany forcibly
Annexed Austria. In April, Hitler instigated the Germanic Party to demand 'autonomy' for the Sudetenland. The German army gathered at the border between Germany and the Czech Republic to threaten force. As the Czech nation rose up and determined to resist, Hitler was forced to retreat temporarily. On September 12,
Hitler gave a speech in Nuremberg and publicly announced that he would aid the Sudeten German Party. A riot broke out in the Sudetenland that night, leading to the September crisis. On September 15, Chamberlain went to Berchtesgaden, Germany, to hold talks with Hitler. He did not hesitate to give in repeatedly, saying that Britain "
"Recognize the principle of Sudetenland separation". On September 19, Britain and France exerted pressure on the Czech Republic, forcing it to cede the Sudetenland. On September 21, the Czech Republic was forced to accept the British and French proposals. On September 22, Chamberlain flew in again
Germany held talks with Hitler. Hitler demanded the annexation of more territory and threatened war on September 26. The situation was unprecedentedly tense. After behind-the-scenes planning, Mussolini intervened to mediate and decided to hold the Munich Conference of Britain, France, Germany and Italy.
.In the early morning of September 30, the "Agreement between Germany, the United Kingdom, France and Italy", known as the "Munich Agreement", was signed. The agreement stipulated that before October 10, 1938, the Sudetenland region of Czechoslovakia and the southern region bordering Austria,
Together with all the buildings and facilities in the above-mentioned areas, they were handed over to Germany; the areas where the Germanic inhabitants were still uncertain whether they had a majority were temporarily occupied by the International Committee, and the ownership was determined through referendums and the borders were finally demarcated. The Munich Conference and Agreement were brutally trampled upon.
The basic norms of international law and international relations are the culmination of the appeasement policy. The Munich Conference and Agreement encouraged and fueled the ambition of fascist countries to further launch aggressive wars. From October to November of the same year, the German army occupied the Sudetenland. In March 1939, Czechoslovakia was annexed
entire territory, and attacked Poland in September, accelerating the outbreak of World War II.
The Munich Conference and the Munich Agreement were a concentrated expression of the appeasement policy pursued by Britain and France (Britain and France were the main promoters of the appeasement policy), and were important steps for Hitler to step up preparations for war. The agreement forced the Czech Republic to lose 11,000 square miles of territory, 3.6 million residents and
More than 12 economic resources were lost, and the defensive fortresses that served as security barriers in border areas were destroyed, France's alliance system in Eastern Europe was destroyed, thereby strengthening the economic and military strength of Nazi Germany, and fueling the aggressive arrogance of the German, Italian, and Japanese fascists. 1939
In March of that year, Hitler trampled on the international guarantees promised in the agreement and sent troops to occupy the entire Czech Republic. However, Britain and France betrayed their faith and refused to fulfill their international obligations to ensure the borders between Czech and New Zealand. The Munich Conference and the Munich Agreement accelerated the outbreak of World War II.
.
Later, "Munich" became synonymous with sacrificing the interests of other countries for selfish purposes and condoning aggression. At this meeting, although Egypt and Turkey received assurances from Great Russia and Europa that their interests would never be sacrificed, it was just
The representatives of their two countries saw that Europa and Great Russia could not control the meeting at all. They were at a loss, especially Turkey. They had conflicts with Great Russia in the past, and this time they were even less likely to help.
At this moment, they feel that they have been deceived by Great Russia, but they still have another master, that is, the Americans. They have done a good job in the final counterattack, and they do not expect Russia anymore.
Their American master is more reliable.
As for Egypt, they originally thought that they would be fine under Europa's control. Now that they see such a situation, they can't help but feel worried about their future. If nothing else, let's just say that the Suez Canal is very important to them.
Even a child probably knows the importance of the country. More than 20% of the government's foreign exchange comes from the canal every year. If they give up now, it is probably absolutely impossible, but
The relationship between Egypt and the energy group is also good. Previously, Egypt was the largest customer of the energy group in Africa except South Africa, especially in terms of food. Not only did the Egyptians not grow any of their own food, but they bought it all from the energy group and even started to make it.
In terms of grain trading, more than half of the countries in Africa buy grain from the Egyptians. Although the Energy Group has also set up sales points in Africa, and the prices are cheaper, the Energy Group still has many shortcomings in the processing of grain.
, this money has been made by the Egyptians, which is about hundreds of billions of yuan every year. The cooperation with the energy group was also good before. This time they would not have been able to fight against the energy group if it were not for the threat of Europa.
If you surrender at this time, it should be possible.
Most people started their negotiations with ulterior motives. Several things happened that night, such as the Turkish representative having dinner with the Americans, and the Egyptian representative inviting Mr. Richard Liang to a very famous local meeting.
After drinking with them at the winery for half a night, it was obvious that although their smiles were very ugly, they still had smiles. This meant that Richard Liang's request might be a bit excessive, but at this moment they had no other choice.
The situation in Turkey was basically the same as here, and there was nothing out of the ordinary. At the beginning of the second day, Europa and Great Russia didn’t look very good. All their younger brothers had gone there.
, if the face is pretty, it would be a bit too generous.
