Chapter 1354 Aspiring Middle-Aged People
Two days later, 50,000 student demonstrators, waving red flags and black flags symbolizing anarchy, marched from the Denfeldt-Rocher road to the Place de l'Etoile, singing the Internationale. Their demands are: the immediate opening of the University of Paris, the withdrawal of police stationed on campus, and the release of arrested students.
On the same day, well-known figures such as Sartre, Beauvoir, Michel Lery, Collette, Audry, Jacques Lacan and other social figures jointly issued a statement expressing support for the student demonstrations. The statement also It calls on “all workers and intellectuals to support the struggle movement in which students and teachers participate, either spiritually or materially.”
Just like their predecessors, who supported the royal power, supported the military government, supported communism, etc., it does not matter what the purpose of the revolution is, the key is to make a revolution. The act of solidarity from all walks of life in Paris once again repeated a scene that often occurs in French history. , we want to lead the village elders to change the country, but it is not necessarily about changing things for the better or for the worse.
"Is now an opportunity to take action?" Pamela Mountbatten believed that the time had come as her husband said, and France had fallen into chaos.
"It's not yet time. From the perspective of French history, just making trouble in Paris is not very influential. The key is to cause other parts of France to follow suit." Alan Wilson stopped his wife's impulse and expressed that using history as a mirror Although Paris always leads the revolution, it does not succeed every time. The Bahrain Commune failed that time.
If Paris wants to lead France towards a better tomorrow, it also depends on whether other people in France want to buy it. If Paris is the only one making trouble, it is not enough.
The most important thing is that he still doesn't know whether the Dragoon sisters can mobilize enough funds. Britain's attack in Alan Wilson's memory was indeed successful.
But France does not have Algerian interests. To be on the safe side, the Anglo-German alliance is more certain.
Historically, during the financial melee from the late 1960s to the 1970s, Germany's role was very complicated. As he said before, enemies and allies were not so clear during this period.
When the Germans were running on gold in France, they once showed goodwill to the United States and said that they would not question the credibility of the United States together with the French. However, Germany finally participated in the historical melee.
It’s time to form alliances and it’s time to use swords. This is just like after Russia took the blame, the United States shouted that Han and traitors are incompatible, but Koch Industries’ industries in Russia have been working. But is it over? No. There are reports that some Wall Street firms have begun buying Russian stocks. At the same time, it is completely unreasonable for the United States to force European capital to withdraw from Russia.
"Isn't this scale enough?" Pamela Mountbatten was surprised. He felt that 50,000 students taking to the streets to cause trouble was enough. This was the limitation of the British.
"France is the country of origin of the Republic and the center of world revolution." Alan Wilson waved his hand, "Waiting for a few days, be patient, my dear."
What he needs to do now is to unify his rhetoric and produce some evidence at the same time. It is actually not difficult to manipulate the political situation. The protesting French people waved sickle and hammer flags, and there were even portraits of a certain big country. Aren't they all conclusive evidence? This was to prevent chaos in France from spreading to England.
"Since last year, there have been protests of varying sizes in various countries. The demonstration in Germany broke out last year. At this time, if other countries are in chaos and we are not in chaos, it will be a victory for the UK." Alan Wilson dressed up and prepared Head out to Whitehall.
"What are you going for?" Seeing her husband leaving, Pamela Mountbatten couldn't help but ask where he was going.
"Go to the Ministry of Finance for a stabilization budget. If you pass this village, there will be no store like this." Alan Wilson said sternly, "This is all for the sake of stabilizing the situation in the UK. Especially the stabilization funds in Northern Ireland, although there is no problem for the time being. , but we must also be vigilant.”
1968 was also the time when the Irish Republican Army re-emerged. With the rise of the civil rights movement and the intensification of ethnic conflicts in Northern Ireland, the Irish Republican Army rose again.
It’s fun to watch the French people lively, but you also have to prevent your own home from catching fire.
Anyway, he thinks that everything can be discussed, as long as there is no war, the rest of the things can be discussed slowly. Don't forget that there is no Ireland in the European Community in this time and space. It is okay to use this as a condition for negotiation. If there is trouble, the responsibility lies entirely with Ireland.
In front of the Prime Minister, Harold Wilson was at a loss for what to do with the argument that Britain had reached its most dangerous moment. "Is it a little too serious?"
"France is different from other European countries. This is a country with a revolutionary tradition. Protests cannot be treated in the same way as other countries." Alan Wilson took out photos taken by MI6 on the streets of Paris two days ago, with red flags and The portrait of the leader is very eye-catching. “Intelligence shows that the Irish Republican Army has become more active.”
IRA? Harold Wilson suddenly felt very energetic. No matter what the nature of the Labor Party was, it would not be significantly different from the Conservative Party when faced with this problem.
This is just like the French Communist Party, Socialist Party and other parties during the Algerian War. They also supported the suppression of the Algerian resistance. The difference is that the right-wing parties mainly focus on suppression, while the left believes that it should be a two-pronged approach. While clearing the payment, we must not forget to provide benefits. The purpose It's the same, but the methods are different.
The British Prime Minister is actually the First Chancellor of the Exchequer. With the Prime Minister's attention, there will be no difficulty in getting the Ministry of Finance to allocate funds to maintain stable funds.
Alan Wilson did not ask for much. He wanted to strengthen the funding for MI5's activities in Ireland and closely monitor whether the Irish Republican Army showed signs of recovery. Compared with the previous nationalization movement, this expenditure was not large.
After doing all this, Alan Wilson continued to watch the movements in Paris, holding the article about the Sun in his hand. This demonstration was the front page headline about French students' freedom to enter and leave the girls' dormitories.
"I think the content of The Sun is not as good as when you were young." At this time, Alan Wilson did not forget to praise the ladies of the same status as his wife.
"Yesterday you said you have been very busy recently." Hedy Lamarr glanced at the pictures in the newspaper and thought to herself, but she also agreed with the man's judgment that the hot girls on it were not as good as when she was young, or even a few years ago. years of myself.
"I am busy mainly because I have many things to do." Alan Wilson elaborated on his concept of combining public and private affairs. Hedy Lamarr is also one of the reasons why he is busy.
He finally received good news from the Pokina sisters and raised 3.5 billion marks to join this gluttonous feast. The mark is a strong currency, and its current exchange rate with the US dollar is one to four.
The influence of the mark has been steadily expanding since ten years ago. Of course, the appreciation of the mark has created competitive pressure on the German manufacturing industry, but the Germans have used the gradual appreciation of the mark to encourage the manufacturing industry to maintain competitiveness by continuously increasing labor productivity and improving research and development. , enabling enterprises to get rid of their dependence on the undervaluation of the local currency as soon as possible.
Germany and Japan are still different. Japan is still trying to lower its exchange rate to promote exports, while Germany no longer does this.
It is precisely because German companies are in the upstream of the value chain, and the brand and technological advantages of German manufacturing give German companies strong bargaining power and ensure the status of the mark in international trade.
With the addition of the Dragoon sisters, Alan Wilson felt that he should be able to deal with the indigestive Franc, and his contact with Richard White became more frequent.
When news came that the police had refused to release the arrested students, and the teachers' and students' union decided to respond by erecting barricades in the Latin Quarter, the Paris police chief announced over a loudspeaker that he would be ordered to clear the barricades.
After a while, the police launched a fierce attack on the students and the crowd. They used batons to beat the unarmed demonstrators without restraint. Even after they hid in the apartment buildings on both sides of the street, the police continued to pursue them. Angry people began to resist by burning cars, and the conflict further escalated. Many innocent passers-by who tried to help the students were also met with violence.
"French social figures called on French people to oppose police violence on Radio Ludenburg." Richard White broadcast the current situation almost in real time.
"He ran quite far, why didn't he rush to the streets to show his resistance with practical actions?" Alan Wilson couldn't help but sneer after hearing this. The old revolutionary base also returned to life, "Are they yours, or the United States?" People?"
"No, he should be regarded as an aspiring middle-aged man." Richard White thought for a moment and said, "There are many such people in French history. What did the Secretary-General say?"
"The world is in chaos, and the situation is great." Alan Wilson smiled slightly, "If the chaos in France spreads from Paris to the whole country, report it to Whitehall immediately."
"These young people don't want to have the same future as their fathers, that is, they don't want the future of us. This kind of future proves that we used to be some cowardly people. ... There is only one kind of college student and university. Guanxi means destroying the university. If you want to destroy it, the only solution is to take to the streets."
Instigative slogans were turned into thousands of large-character posters and posted in the streets of Paris. "In the sluggish Western countries, the only left-wing force dissatisfied with the status quo only exists in all young people. Therefore, college students should not be discouraged and should continue this struggle unrelentingly.”
"Many careerists are like this, pushing students to the front of the stage." When talking to Brest, who has been dealing with the restlessness in Britain, Alan Wilson said with a smile, "These innocent and lovely students, after a few dozen When they look back at their present, they will realize that nothing has changed.”
People shouted that students, teachers and workers unite! Opening fire on the hierarchical social system, French Prime Minister Pompidou assured de Gaulle that there was no problem, and at the same time opened up the protest and ordered the gates of the Sorbonne University to be opened. Immediately, slogans, flyers, big-character posters and cartoons were plastered all over the campus.
This is considered by everyone to be a great victory, and they will continue to work hard. Now, it is no longer just a problem for students.
