Rebirth of England.

On October 10, Steve Jobs, the founder of Apple, died of illness.

It can be said that Jobs has been struggling with illness over the years. Of course, it is also because he has sufficient resources that he has been able to persevere until now. If he were an ordinary person, it would be impossible for him to live so many more years with a terminal illness like pancreatic cancer.

After Jobs, Apple entered the Cook era, who will continue to lead Apple and move towards the goal of becoming the world's most valuable and profitable mobile phone company.

But Baron understands that after Jobs' death, Apple will gradually lose its innovative capabilities. Until Baron is reborn, Apple phones can only be regarded as "living off the past." Apple's success can only continue thanks to its loyal fan base and the United States' suppression of Huawei.

That day, Baron learned the news of Jobs' death after finishing a private meeting with Cameron.

Although he did not have much interaction with Jobs, and Jobs was criticized in many aspects, it has to be admitted that Jobs was a genius in business and design.

Therefore, he couldn't help but feel sad about the death of Jobs.

Currently, Cameron's main focus is on reducing British government spending. During this meeting, the two discussed the European debt crisis and the somewhat sensitive issue of the growing desire in British society to leave the EU.

In fact, Britain’s policy towards Europe has always been controversial at home, with both the public and political elites divided on the issue.

Historically, Britain was initially dismissive of France and Germany's launch of European unification after World War II.

When the Treaty of Rome was signed in 1957, marking the start of the European integration process, Britain was not involved.

It was not until 1973 that Britain decided to join the European Community in order to share the benefits of the growing European Common Market.

Then in the early 90s, when European countries were negotiating the signing of the Maastricht Treaty which laid the foundation for monetary integration, the then Prime Minister Major signed the treaty despite opposition from the "Eurosceptics" within the Conservative Party - this caused an unprecedented split in the Conservative Party and indirectly led to the Conservative Party being in opposition for many years thereafter.

Although Britain joined the European Union during the Labour Party's rule, it remained wary of European integration due to strong Euroscepticism among the people.

Although Britain signed the Maastricht Treaty, it did not join the Eurozone...

Britain also did not sign the Schengen Agreement, which was later established to further promote the common market...

Then, when it signed the Lisbon Treaty, it demanded "exceptional rights" in areas such as justice and social policy...

Until recently, after the European debt crisis, the Conservative government that returned to power openly expressed gratitude that Britain did not join the eurozone.

Specifically, during the evolution of the European debt crisis, objectively, Britain and the United States stood together and took an attitude of adding insult to injury to the crisis.

Therefore, it seems that Britain's policy of "keeping itself out" of the EU has put it at risk of being increasingly marginalized in EU affairs.

At the same time, the British government’s policy towards Europe has also led to increasingly strong Eurosceptic sentiment in the country.

According to the latest polls, more than 75% of British people want a referendum to decide whether to continue to stay in the European Union.

During this meeting, Cameron told Barron that he had recently received a letter from some Conservative MPs, in which they believed that the price Britain paid for EU membership was too high...

In Cameron's recent foreign statements, he also said that he would not rule out a referendum to decide whether to leave Europe...

Of course, Barron understands that Cameron's statement is not only intended to appease the public and the "Eurosceptics" within the party, but also to "blackmail" the EU and urge it to make more concessions in dealing with its relations with Britain.

However, Barron knew that after the impact of the European debt crisis, although the EU still cared about whether Britain remained in the EU, it would no longer make concessions to Britain's special demands.

In response to Cameron’s recent statement, German Bundestag European Committee President Krichbaum said in an interview:

"Britain's intention to leave the EU, or to seek special treatment in some special areas, is clearly not appropriate for today's situation..."

In fact, both Barron and Cameron are well aware of one thing, that is, once Britain withdraws from the EU, the damage to Britain itself will be much greater than the damage to the EU.

And from Barron's own perspective, he does not want Britain to eventually choose to leave the EU because of a referendum like in its previous life.

After all, he already has layouts in various European countries, and the European market is also very important to his industry - Britain can either choose to be deeply bound with the United States, or it needs to rely on the European Union to make a difference outside of the United States...

With the experience of his previous life, Barron knew that choosing the former path would not bring much benefit to Britain, but would instead make it a pawn of America.

But he also knows that if things continue as they are now, then there is still a high probability that Britain will leave the EU.

This is also due to domestic political reasons in the UK - the current reality is that a section of the Conservative Party is clamoring for a referendum in order to cater to public opinion.

The Labour Party, which has become the opposition party, may also propose a referendum on whether to remain in the European Union before the next general election in Britain in order to split the Conservative Party.

The result is that, although neither party leader wants Britain to leave the EU, such a referendum is almost inevitable.

In addition, once it is confirmed that whether to leave the EU will be decided through a referendum, the United States will inevitably influence the British people through various means to achieve the goal of forcing Britain to leave the EU and weaken Europe.

Barron would naturally try his best to avoid this situation.

In Barron's previous life, Britain finally decided to leave the EU in a referendum in 2016, and then after some twists and turns, it officially left the EU in 2020.

After Brexit, deep barriers have been formed between Britain and Europe, which has not only affected its trade, but also pushed up the cost of living for its people and blocked the flow of talent between it and Europe, causing great negative impact on Britain.

At the same time, this result also forced Britain to get closer to America. However, the way America acted later did not benefit Britain. Instead, Britain had to support America's decisions in many ways...

It has to be said that this was a bad move, and it was also the cause of the subsequent chaotic political situation in Britain.

So from now on, Barron will try his best to avoid this outcome.
