Chapter 532: The American Emperor no longer wants a face
GE was really anxious, and so was Apple. Cook contacted Coastline and hoped to meet with Ye Hua. As long as he nodded, he would fly over immediately.
However, no, Ye Hua didn’t give him any face at all!
We must not contact them at this time. We have already signed a power agreement with Siemens. We will contact GE people privately. If the Germans see it, it will inevitably lead to conflicts and unnecessary trouble.
This project is no small matter, and one sentence is the most critical: stability is paramount.
A trillion dollars in funding is no joke.
In order to strangle the electric power agreement reached between the Chinese and the Germans, the Americans, who were at their wits' end, had nothing to do with China, so they turned to put pressure on the Germans. At this point, they no longer even had "face".
On August 4, the U.S. Ambassador to Germany Grenar openly threatened the Germans if Germany insisted on participating in the construction of the global power grid with China.
The United States will make the Germans pay the price.
As for the price, citing reports from the Washington Post, Greiner stated in an open letter that if Germany does not repent, the United States will greatly reduce its cooperation with Germany in the field of intelligence sharing.
From the perspective of Americans, this threat will make Germans uncomfortable, because currently Germany and even Europe are very dependent on American intelligence resources in the field of "anti-terrorism".
However, the Germans are not "scared", and Greiner's tone of command + threat has undoubtedly aroused great resentment among the German people. In the article published by the German mainstream media "Süddeutsche Zeitung" "The United States threatens Germany to abandon China Global
Following reports related to "Power Grid Plan", German netizens wrote tens of thousands of comments refuting the United States.
Come on Coastline, Germany doesn’t need the US!
Haha, the data of German telecommunications industry companies is now stored in the United States. So how can Americans who like to monitor and eavesdrop allow others to disrupt the situation?
So, may I ask, Mr. Ambassador, what is the purpose of the CIA stationed in the US Embassy in Frankfurt, Germany?
Great, you Americans should withdraw your intelligence services from Germany immediately.
Americans are so great. The fire in their backyard has not been extinguished. Take care of yourself.
Why did Grenar come out to threaten us again?
With your shameful safety record, you Americans still have the nerve to point fingers at Germany?
Isn’t it true that the United States has been monitoring the whole world?
It's so ridiculous that a country that monitors its trading partners and NATO allies every day still has the nerve to make such a request?
What about national sovereignty?
When will the EU and Germany threaten the Americans in turn? The behavior of the Americans is so disgusting.
Mr. Ambassador, the Germans don't need you to tell them what to do.
Is it time for this ambassador who interferes in Germany’s internal affairs every day to pack up and get out? Who is going to throw him into the English Channel to feed the sharks?
…
On this matter, German netizens are unanimous in speaking out. In addition, U.S. Ambassador Greiner, who is "dictating" to the Germans, has also become the target of "verbal and written criticism" from German netizens.
Because this is not the first time that he has used this "emperor versus ministers" and "commands + threats" tone towards Germany.
Grenar used this tone before to order German companies to stop trading with Yin Lang. Later, there was the issue of Germany buying natural gas from Russia. He also used this order + threat to ask German companies to stop natural gas cooperation with Russia.
, and this tone was still followed later, requiring German companies to stop participating in the construction of Germany's 5G network with Huawei or other Chinese companies.
Now I'm doing the same thing again, and I really think it's tried and true.
The Germans are surprisingly tough this time. They cannot handle the power system business worth more than 80 billion US dollars. Is it possible that they have to give it away?
Moreover, this time Liferay cooperates with the leading Global Grid International Plan, and its cooperation also includes the creation of more than 1.78 million direct or indirect jobs worldwide, most of which are high-quality jobs.
Although 1.2 million of these jobs will be taken away by the Chinese, which is understandable, of the remaining 580,000 jobs, the Germans will share about 300,000 direct or indirect jobs.
German netizens will be damned if they don’t refute it, and damned if the German authorities will give up.
…
By the way, North America is now in a mess at home, but this does not affect the Life Ray and the leading global power grid international plan. After the first phase of the project was specifically announced for the Eurasian continent, countries in the region responded immediately.
Needless to say, for the country, electric energy is the foundation of industry.
Although the global power grid international plan has had some twists and turns, it is generally not a serious problem. With the strong support of China, it has been rolled out smoothly.
This has to mention several previous major national strategic plans, one is the "New Silk Road" economic belt strategy, and the other is the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank, which is even more powerful for the international plan of global power grid projects.
Even everything is a matter of course. This time we still adhere to the principle of "anyone who comes is welcome, it doesn't matter if you don't come". Anyway, China will not use any means to pursue interests like the Americans.
Moreover, since China first proposed building a community with a shared future for mankind in 2015, China has stepped into the center of the international stage and actively participated in global governance. Unlike the United States, China has no ambitions for hegemony, but treats it as a partner, no matter it is a big country.
Small countries, strong countries, and weak countries are all regarded as equal partners.
There is no doubt that the concept of global governance of a community with a shared future for mankind is in line with the aspirations of all mankind, and it also allows China to stand on the moral high ground, which even Americans dare not blatantly deny.
After all, if Americans who claim to "care about human rights" every day deny this concept, they are not throwing away the banner they are carrying, which is equivalent to completely denying everything before.
The result is obvious.
Originally, many third world countries, especially those in backward areas such as Latin America and Africa, hoped that China would come out to carry the flag and lead them.
However, China will naturally not do this kind of thing. Only fools will carry the banner for a false reputation. It will not be a matter of taking care of it, nor will it be ignored. Being tired of running around and consuming energy will inevitably affect its own development.
After all, there are many benefits to not carrying the flag. For example, if something goes wrong, it will not be of any benefit to you. You can just say, "So-and-so things should be decided by so-and-so's own people" and just shout cheers from the side.
Already.
How great.
What are you doing carrying the flag?
The American emperor just carries the flag, and the results are self-evident.
Now the Americans also want to give up their jobs. If they withdraw from this or that, they will cause trouble.
However, although China does not carry the flag, it is very pragmatic and has never stopped doing practical things, let alone ambiguity. No, as soon as the global power grid international plan comes out, those who want to "take the ride" must hurry up and do not wait beyond the time limit.
Of course, Ye Hua does not need to worry about these. Now Ye Hua is very leisurely. The light of life is on the right track. The thirty-year long-term planning strategy of the global power grid plan has been set, and everything is progressing steadily and orderly.
