Chapter 1354 The Aspiring Middle-Ageds

Two days later, 50,000 student demonstrators waving red flags and black flags symbolizing anarchy and singing the Internationale marched from the Rue Danfelt-Rochet to the Place des Stars. Their demands were: the immediate opening of the University of Paris, the withdrawal of the police stationed there, and the release of the arrested students.

On the same day, Sartre, Beauvoir, Michel Léry, Colette, Audrey, Jacques Lagrange, and other eminent personalities issued a statement of support for the student demonstrations, calling on “all workers and intellectuals to support, spiritually and materially, the movement of struggle in which the students and teachers are engaged”.

Like their predecessors, who supported the crown, the junta, communism, etc., it doesn’t matter what the purpose of the revolution is, the point is to revolutionize, and the act of solidarity from all sectors of Paris repeats once again a scene that has often been seen in French history, to bring the rednecks to change the country, but not for the better or for the worse.

“Is now the chance to strike?” Pamela Mountbatten believed her husband’s words that the time had come and that France was in turmoil.

“It’s not the right time yet, and from the history of France it seems that just Paris getting in an uproar isn’t very influential. The key is to cause the rest of France to follow suit.” Alan Wilson stopped his wife’s impulse to express the idea of using history as a mirror, Paris has always led revolutions but it doesn’t always succeed, the Bahrain Commune failed that time.

Paris to lead France to run to a better tomorrow, but also depends on the rest of France to buy, if only Paris himself to make trouble, it is still not enough.

The most crucial thing was that he was now unsure whether the Dragoon Sisters could mobilize enough funds. The one time Britain had taken the knife out of Alan Wilson’s memory, it had indeed been a success.

But that France had no Al and interest, and to be on the safe side, it was better to have an Anglo-German alliance.

Historically, Germany’s role in the financial melee of the late sixties and seventies was very complex, and as he said before, enemies and allies were not so clear-cut during this time.

The Germans had made a gesture of goodwill to the United States during the French gold run, saying that they would not join the French in questioning the credit of the United States, but the historical melee Germany ended up on the field.

It was time to align and ally, and it was time to put out the knife; it was like the US crying Han and Thief after the Russian smashup, but Koch Industries’ industries in Russia had been in the midst of the work. But is it over? It’s not. There are reports that some Wall Street firms are starting to buy Russian stocks. Meanwhile the U.S. is forcing European capital out of Russia is anything but subtle.

“This scale is not enough?” Pamela Mountbatten marveled, thinking that 50,000 students taking to the streets and causing trouble was enough, such were the limitations of the British.

“France is the country where the republic originated, the center of the world revolution.” Alan Wilson waved his hand, “In wait a few days, be patient, my dear.”

Now what he needed to do was to unify the discourse, and at the same time get a bit of evidence out, getting the political bureau was actually not that difficult, protesting Frenchmen waving sickle and hammer flags, and even portraits of a certain big country, weren’t they all evidence on the board? To prevent the chaos in France from spreading to Britain.

“There have been protests of varying sizes in all countries since last year, the march in Germany was the one that broke out last year, and at this point in time it is a victory for Britain that other countries are in chaos and we are not.” Alan Wilson was dressed and ready to head out the door to Whitehall.

“What for?” Pamela Mountbatten saw her husband leaving and couldn’t help but ask where to go.

“Looking for the Ministry of Finance to ask for stabilization budget, after this village will not have this store.” Alan Wilson righteously said, “This is all for the sake of stabilizing the situation in the United Kingdom. Especially the stabilization funding on the Northern Ireland side, although there is no problem for the time being, we also need to be vigilant.”

Nineteen sixty-eight was also the time of the IRA’s resurgence, as the civil rights movement in Northern Ireland soared and the national conflict intensified.

It’s fun to watch the French, but it’s also important to prevent a fire from starting in your own home, and anyway, he is of the opinion that it can all be talked about, as long as you don’t go to war, the rest of the things can be negotiated slowly. Don’t forget that this time and space of the European Community can not have Ireland, as a negotiation condition is also possible, if in the mess, the responsibility is all in the love side.

In front of the prime minister, about the United Kingdom has reached the most dangerous time this argument, make Harold Wilson at a loss, “is not said a little serious?”

“France is different from other European countries, this is a country with a revolutionary tradition, there are protests can not be treated the same as other countries.” Alan Wilson took out the photos taken by MI6 on the streets of Paris two days ago, the red flags and portraits of the leaders were very eye-catching, “There is intelligence showing that the IRA is moving more frequently.”

IRA? Harold Wilson was instantly quite refreshed, whatever the attributes of the Labor Party, confronted with this kind of problem would not be significantly different from the Conservative Party.

This is like the French French Communist Party, Socialist Party and other parties in France during the Algerian War, the same is to support the suppression of the Algerian resistance, the difference is that the right-wing parties to the annihilation of the main, the leftists feel that it should be a two-pronged approach to the clearing of the payment at the same time can not forget to open the benefits, the end is the same, only the means are different.

The British Prime Minister is actually the first Chancellor of the Exchequer, and with the Prime Minister’s attention, there is little difficulty in getting the Treasury to allocate funds for stabilization.

Alan Wilson asked for not much, strengthen the MI5 in Ireland within the activities of the funds, closely monitor the IRA whether there are signs of recovery, and the previous nationalization campaign, this expenditure is not much.

After all this, Alan Wilson continued to watch the movements in Paris, holding in his hand the front page headline about the Sun, the current march was the French students to have free access to the girls’ dormitories.

“I don’t think the Sun is as good as it was when you were young.” At this time, Alan Wilson did not forget to compliment the ladies who were on equal footing with his wife.

“Yesterday you said you’ve been busy lately.” Hedy Lamarr glanced at the newspaper’s shredded front and back, but she agreed with the man’s judgment that the hot ladies on it weren’t as busy as they were when they were younger, or even themselves in previous years.

“I’m busy mostly because I have a lot going on.” Alan Wilson elaborated on his idea of public-private partnerships, and Hedy Lamarr was one of the reasons he was busy.

He finally received the good news from the Bogina sisters to raise three and a half billion marks to join in the midst of this feast, the mark is a strong currency, now at a one to four exchange rate with the dollar.

The influence of the mark has been steadily expanding since ten years ago. Of course, the appreciation of the mark has caused competitive pressure on the German manufacturing industry, but the Germans have used the gradual appreciation of the mark to push the manufacturing industry to remain competitive by continuously increasing labor productivity and improving research and development, so that companies can quickly get rid of their dependence on the undervaluation of the local currency.

Germany and Japan are still different, and now also play to depress the exchange rate to promote exports is Japan, Germany has not done so.

It is because German enterprises are in the upper reaches of the value chain, the brand and technological advantages of German manufacturing, which gives German enterprises a strong bargaining power, which ensures the position of the mark in international trade.

With the Dragoon Sisters on board, Alan Wilson felt that dealing with indigestible francs should be about right, and liaison with Richard White became more and more frequent.

When news arrived that the police had refused to release the arrested students, and the teachers’ and students’ unions had decided to erect barricades in the Latin Quarter in reply, the chief of the Paris police announced through a megaphone that he would be instructed to clear the barricades.

Within moments, the police launched an onslaught on the students and the crowds, beating the unarmed demonstrators with their truncheons with impunity, and pursuing them even as they took refuge in the apartment buildings lining the streets. The clashes escalated further as angry people began to burn cars in defiance. Many innocent passersby who tried to come to the students’ aid were also met with violence.

“French socialists on Radio Ludenburg called on the French to oppose police violence.” Richard White relayed the current situation almost in real time.

“Running pretty far, why doesn’t he storm the streets to show his resistance with real action?” Alan Wilson couldn’t help but sneer when he heard it, the old revolutionary area is also living more and more back, “Is it your people, or is it the United States?”

“Neither, it should be considered an aspiring middle-aged man.” Richard White thought for a moment and said, “This kind of person in the history of France is also a lot of, the secretary general said a phrase called?”

“The world is in chaos, the situation is great.” Alan Wilson smiled slightly, “If the chaos in France spreads from Paris to the whole country, report it to Whitehall at once.”

“These young people do not want to have a future like their fathers, that is, they do not want to have a future like ours, a future that proves that we were once some cowardly people. …… College students have only one thing to do with universities, and that is to smash them. To smash it, the only solution is to take to the streets.”

The agitational slogans were made into thousands of large-print posters and posted in the streets of Paris, “The only leftist force of dissatisfaction with the status quo exists only in all the young people of the depleted West, and therefore the university students should not be discouraged, but should carry on this struggle indefatigably.”

“Many ambitious people are like that, pushing students to the front of the stage.” Conversing with Brexit, who has been dealing with Britain’s restlessness, Alan Wilson smirked, “O these innocent and lovely students, in a few decades they will look back on their present and realize that nothing will change.”

People chanted for students, teachers, and workers to unite! Taking a shot at the hierarchical social system, French Prime Minister Pompidou, while assuring de Gaulle that there was no problem, opened up the starting point of this protest, ordering the gates of the Sorbonne to be opened. Immediately, signs, leaflets, large print and cartoons were plastered all over the campus.

It was considered, by all, a great victory, and the next thing they had to do was to build on it, now that it wasn’t just about the students anymore.
