Chapter 692: 692

At this stage, the investment of the Gao's consortium in France is quite large, and then a more mature team has been trained there. Therefore, Gao Xian has ready-made manpower available. It is enough to bring a secretary at No. 10 Downing Street as a consultant without waiting for Mrs. Thatcher to be equipped with professionals.

After arriving in Paris, Gao Xian understood the details of the previous communication between Margaret Thatcher and French President Mitterrand.

In short, Margaret Thatcher used the "Iron Lady" in the political arena. Coupled with the high tension brought by the British Labor expedition, she did not grasp her tough attitude properly, so that her communication with Mitterrand was very unpleasant.

For example, Mrs. Thatcher believes that because Argentina used French flying fish missiles to sink the destroyer Sheffield of the British Royal Navy, it is equivalent to the involvement of French forces. France must show its attitude and hand over the parameters of flying fish missiles. Otherwise, the Falklands war is a new naval battle in Trafalgar.

Referring to the battle of Trafalgar at the beginning of the last century, Mitterrand must be unhappy.

You know, in the battle of Trafalgar, the French Navy lost everything and lost all its talents. From then on, Napoleon was forced to give up his plan to attack Britain, while Britain's position as a maritime overlord was further consolidated and began the heyday of the British Empire for a hundred years.

"It seems that Mrs. Thatcher's pressure is really great." Gao Xian laughed to himself.

At the same time, Gao Xian also quickly understood the attitude of France. To sum up, several major senior officials of the French government were watching British jokes.

In this regard, Gao Xian was not surprised that these countries originally harboured ghosts. Even if the United States secretly supported Britain and handed over the eavesdropping Argentine military intelligence to Britain, the United States did not want Britain's forces to completely withdraw from South America.

After knowing this, Gao Xian went to the Elysee Palace to see French President Mitterrand.

Mitterrand was very interesting. He didn't take care of the interview and met smoothly.

Mitterrand also wanted to find friends to Tucao, and make complaints about some of them. When he met, he complained, "that Thatcher is just an unbearable woman! Besides being aloof and arrogant, I even suspect she has Island syndrome."

Gao Xian can't help but be happy. Many people in Britain should suffer from island syndrome. For example, when they feel that there is a cheap place to take advantage of, they squeeze their heads into the European economic community; Decades later in the "old script", Britain thought that compared with its membership dues to the EU, it did not get back the benefits, especially its voice could not compare with Germany and national law, so it was determined to leave Europe. Anyway, as an island country, it could also laugh at the situation on the continent of Europe by living behind closed doors.

But Gao string is not foolishly attached to make complaints about laughter. He has caught the possibility of persuasion from Mitterrand's Tucao.

Mitterrand continued to Tucao: "you must know the way of business, sir. You bought a flying fish missile from France. If France tells the British model again, it won't make complaints about Argentina. What will you do in the future?"

Make complaints about Argentina's value really inspire you with benevolence and righteousness, wisdom and faith? "The high chord of the belly" is a little tired of Mitterrand's chatter without stop. "British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher's attitude is very firm. She asked me to take a message to the president. If France does not tell Britain about the parameters of flying fish missiles, Britain will consider using nuclear weapons against Argentina."

"This crazy woman!" Mitterrand patted the armrest of the sofa several times with emotion.

After waiting for Mitterrand's mood to calm down, Gao Xian continued: "now Mrs. Thatcher is under great pressure. If she takes extreme measures, it is not a trifle. Please also ask Mr. President to seriously consider Britain's request."

"In addition, Mrs. Thatcher thought that France was waiting for a price, so she entrusted me to contact and try to bypass the fetters of the positive governance factors. She was very sincere."

Mitterrand said angrily, "what is for sale? Most of my Cabinet ministers want to sit on the sidelines."

Gao Xian routinely said, "Mr. President, the pattern is naturally higher. I think there must be different views."

It is not difficult to understand the meaning of this remark. If Britain declines again, it is also one of the five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council. In addition, there is too much demand for exchanging interests with each other in the circle of the European Economic Community vigorously operated by France. How many flying fish missiles can Argentina buy? It is better to sell them in exchange for greater strategic interests.

This is the advantage of private meetings, which are free to speak.

Mitterrand finally began to disclose: "Sir Gao, I didn't consider the exchange terms, but I really didn't think about it for a while. What conditions can make France comfortable and make Britain unhappy. Thatcher, that crazy woman, entrusted you to come and find out the details. Did she also send any conditions by the way?"

"Not really." Gao Xian shrugged. "Mrs. Thatcher was very worried about France's offer to bring Britain close to the corner through Zhengzhi channels, so she entrusted me to come and explore the wind in my personal capacity."

"Let's spend it like this first." Mitterrand waved his hand slightly impatiently. "Wait until Thatcher's iron finger wants to press the nuclear bomb button."

Gao Xian doesn't want to be exhausted. The Falklands war is an opportunity for Xiangjiang land to get Zhengzhi chips. If it gets one, it will reduce the resistance by one point.

Therefore, sir Gao put on a look of thinking for a moment, and then leaned forward. "When the president joked just now, he gave me an inspiration and then came up with an exchange condition. I don't know whether it is feasible."

Mitterrand said lazily, "which joke?"

While observing Mitterrand's look, Gao Xian slowly replied, "island syndrome."

Mitterrand laughed and asked excitedly, "what conditions did Sir Gao think of?"

Gao Xian said leisurely, "France has proposed the construction plan of an undersea tunnel to open up the English Channel since the Napoleonic era."

Mitterrand was stunned, and then slapped heavily on the armrest of the sofa. "This matter has been put on the shelf for many years. I really didn't expect it if Sir Gao didn't remind me."

The idea of the subsea tunnel connecting Britain and the European continent has a long history, so that the design scheme starts from the horse drawn carriage and continues to be upgraded with the development of industrial technology.

However, Britain is worried that after losing the natural barrier of the English channel, there will be problems with its own security, so its attitude is subtle and capricious.

It's not surprising that Britain has Island syndrome. Think about how badly the German Air Force bombed Britain in World War II. If it is not blocked by the English channel, it is estimated that Britain's end will be similar to that of France.

The latest progress in the construction of the English Channel subsea tunnel stopped in the 1970s. Britain terminated the construction plan on the grounds that the project cost too much and its economy was stagnant and unable to afford it because of the world oil crisis, which disappointed France, which is keen on European integration.

Now, after being reminded by the high string, Mitterrand remembered the opening up of the English channel, and his eyes lit up. This condition can really make France comfortable and Britain unhappy, and once it is realized, it will be of great significance.

Gao Xian said with a smile, "it seems that Mr. President is interested in this condition."

Mitterrand said meaningfully, "Sir Gao is really working hard to help Mrs. Thatcher."

"It's not because my wife Vivian and Margaret Thatcher have a close personal relationship, and if the Cross Harbour Tunnel starts, it's also a great business opportunity for me." Gao Xian added after explaining the credible reasons at his fingertips: "Mr. President, I want to make a statement. The condition of the cross harbour tunnel was temporarily remembered after I entered the Elysee Palace. Mrs. Thatcher doesn't know yet, so I don't know whether Britain can accept such a condition."

Mitterrand nodded and said brightly, "Sir Gao can reply to Margaret Thatcher. As long as Britain agrees to build the English Channel undersea tunnel between France and Britain, France can tell Britain the parameters of the flying fish missile used by Argentina."

"Well, Argentina has been sold after all." Gao Xian got up without waves in his heart and left, seizing the time to report his progress to Mrs. Thatcher.

As expected, after listening to the conditions offered by France to open the English channel, Mrs. Thatcher considered it silently for a long time.

The truth is obvious. Whether this tunnel is built or not is not a technical problem, but a problem of governance. Otherwise, it will not be repeated for more than 100 years. In particular, France has been very enthusiastic about it and can't help but guard against it!

Without much thought, Mrs Thatcher could have predicted that once the construction plan of the English Channel subsea tunnel was restarted by her own hands, it would certainly attract a lot of opposition.

Gao Xian didn't want to be busy in vain, so he painstakingly advised: "Your Excellency, time waits for no one, and the battlefield situation is changing rapidly. Your top priority is the Falklands war thousands of miles away from the British mainland. As long as you defeat Argentina and regain control of the Falkland Islands, your reputation will rise sharply and catch up with chugill during the Second World War. At that time, the problems in Britain will be solved easily."

"I don't know how to thank Sir Gao for his continuous help." Mrs. Thatcher was finally persuaded and made a quick decision: "I agree with Mitterrand's terms."

"Yes," Gao Xian said skillfully, "if the land company has the opportunity to participate after the construction of the cross harbour tunnel is planned to start, your Excellency the prime minister will thank me."

Mrs Thatcher had trusted Gao Xian, otherwise she would not have asked Gao Xian to serve as her personal envoy twice in a short time. Now Gao Xian has put forward harmless interest demands in the form of businessmen. The British Prime Minister has no worries and suspicions, and promised: "Don't worry, I remember the name land. It should support it if it wants to go back to the UK to expand its business."
