University of Vienna Falls Behind

As long as the Europeans who have a little understanding of music know the song, it is Beethoven's Ode to Joy, which is played at the gate of the League of Nations.

Baldwin doesn't know if this is ironic or appropriate.

I found a random place to sit next to the walls of the Palais des Nations, and while listening to the girl playing the guitar, I looked up at the bustling Switzerland.

Looking at the high-rise buildings in front of him, Baldwin felt like he was in a different world. When he was a child, the world was still a carriage, river, farmland, and he could still see the sky. In a blink of an eye, the world had completely changed, even himself. A look.

"What are you thinking about?"

Lord Maurice Hankey.

Cabinet Secretary to the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom.

Came to Baldwin's side and handed a small box of wine to Baldwin.

"Thank you."

Baldwin took the jug, took a sip, and felt a little better in this cold winter, and then Hankey sat next to Baldwin.

"I'm thinking about our deaths when we were young, and now I think about how far away everything was before the war, in my hometown of Worcester, where the water was so clear and the sky was so clear, I can still think of me and The day my wife Lucy met on the field."

"That's because Worcester only produces light industry."

Hankey said unceremoniously.

Baldwin just smiled softly.

"I'm just sighing, the world is changing so fast, I feel like I'm not keeping up with the times, as if we're all about to be left behind. Morris, tell me, am I a good prime minister? ?"

"Of course, my Prime Minister. You are certainly qualified as Prime Minister. You have improved the protective tariff policy, brought peace to Europe during the Ruhr crisis, lowered the UK unemployment rate, and created the Central Electricity The whole of the UK has brought change."

"Then what do you think of the little princess' proposal?"

Hankey sat next to Baldwin, his back straight, and he laughed with great disdain.

"I think only a fool without a clear head will believe in a little princess who is not yet fully developed."

Sudden.

Hankey seemed to have thought of something.

He turned to look at Baldwin beside him.

"Oh, my Prime Minister, shouldn't you really be fooled by Little Princess Deta?"

Baldwin wasn't mad about it.

The corner of his mouth smiled helplessly.

He took another sip of the wine in his hand and looked at the singer playing Ode to Joy in the distance.

"Leave something for the kids, I thought."

.......

Maslow's needs refer to people's need for motivation to fulfill certain needs.

Some needs take precedence over others.

There are five levels of requirements in total.

The five most basic needs are food, water, air, sleep and sex.

The second layer is the need for security.

People need stability, safety, protection, order, freedom from fear and anxiety, etc.

The third layer is the need for belonging and love.

People need to make emotional connections.

The fourth level is the need for respect.

People need their own worth to be affirmed and external achievements to be recognized.

The fifth level is the pursuit of self-actualization.

.....

British Prime Minister Baldwin is at the highest level of needs. He has obtained the necessary conditions for his physiology, security, belonging and love, and has been respected by others. He is the person standing on the top of the world.

He has brought a lot to the UK, and he no longer needs to worry about votes. In the UK, neither the Labour Party nor the Liberal Party can shake Baldwin's position.

So Baldwin wanted more.

It is no longer about gaining recognition from the outside world.

He wants to transcend from the spirit of ego.

the second week.

British Prime Minister Baldwin held a meeting of heads of state.

Different from the conference held by Anna before, this summit conference held by Baldwin also invited reporters from various European countries to translate at the same time, so that the people of European countries knew the first time.

Baldwin didn't wear a formal suit, but a more casual outfit.

He came to the podium.

"It is an honor for you to come to this meeting, it is my honor."

"The man standing here today is not the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, he is the child of a pair of parents, he is the husband of a wife, he is the father of a child, he is the same as everyone. So I want to ask you, please, Give me some time today."

"I'm going to spend a few minutes talking to people in Europe about the EU."

"I think this word is very unfamiliar to everyone. Only a small number of people understand this new word. Most people think that if we form the EU, we can avoid war. If we don't, we want to get war. In fact, it is It can be understood that the first purpose of forming the European Union is to establish a European coal and steel community.”

"Coal and steel are the foundation of industry. Without coal and steel, there would be no industrial development. The establishment of the European Union is to integrate the coal and industry of the whole of Europe into a whole, so that any country on this land of Europe can You can't start a war alone."

"That's why it is said that the EU can prevent war."

"This is not only the benefits brought by the EU, but also the tariff policy that is far from the lives of many people. The tariff policy refers to the import and export trade between two different countries. Tax, assuming that a country produces enough food, it has to sell food to other countries, and if the country that sells raises the tariff on food, then the cost of food that this country has to bear will increase.”

"So the establishment of the EU will reduce the transaction costs of EU countries, which is the benefit that the EU will bring to you, as well as the benefits from education, health care, society and so on.

"Then the question we have now is, why is the EU, which can bring benefits to various countries, difficult to achieve?"

"Because of politics, hatred, ethnicity, uneven development, extremism, and uneven development of various countries, it means that developed countries have to spend more money to support countries that are not very well-developed, and countries that are not very well-developed. Possibly controlled by the economies of developed countries. These are the things that prevent the creation of an EU, it is as hard for us to build an EU as it is for us to love our enemies."

"But today."

Baldwin took a deep breath and glanced at everyone present.

He puffed out his chest.

"I am willing to take this most difficult first step, I stand here and I want to tell you my voice, just as Stanley Baldwin, I support the creation of the European Union."

Anna, who masterminded the EU proposal.

Just stupid in place.

Anna could never have imagined that she had never considered a proposal that Britain and France could agree to, nor did she think it would be feasible.

Baldwin actually expressed his support directly.

This means that Anna will lose control of this matter.

Chapter 34 First Steps

British Prime Minister Baldwin's speech shook the world.

No one could have imagined that Baldwin would support the establishment of the European Union, Anna could not have imagined, not even the British.

Of course, British Prime Minister Baldwin's speech also completely angered the far-right forces in the UK.

Even Baldwin's own Conservative Party had a very strong backlash.

Most people thought Baldwin was crazy.

This is also derived from the two major forces in the UK, namely protectionism and liberalism. Protectionism refers to the imposition of tariffs on imported goods, import quotas and other economic policies that restrict imports from other countries.

Liberalism, on the other hand, opposes government interference in free economic markets.Of course, this does not mean that there is no government intervention at all. Quite a few liberals denounce government intervention on behalf of consumers.

Generally speaking, it is aimed at a series of problems arising from the tariff policy in the UK.

Why is it so serious.

It also stemmed from the British economic crisis in 1921, which forced the United Kingdom to reconsider its tariff policy.

Now the European Union is about to be formed.

That is, a complete break with the previous tariff policy.

Clearly more liberal.

Baldwin's Conservative Party is a party that supports protectionism, and Baldwin himself supports a certain degree of protectionism. Now Baldwin, as the British Prime Minister, is the first to stand up for the EU.

It can be said that it caused a great division in the Conservative Party.

This is just the beginning.

With Baldwin standing up to support, the British cabinet has always advocated liberalism. Chancellor of the Exchequer Winston Churchill directly stood up to express his position. As a British cabinet minister, he was the first to oppose the establishment of the European Union, saying that all this was Deta's conspiracy, It was Deta's excuse for wanting to start a war.

Of course, there are also a considerable number of people who support it, most of which are supporters of Baldwin, the Liberal Party, and the Labour Party.Mainly because of the fear of comparison. Today, the treatment of Deta workers can be said to be the best in the world, not even in the United States.

......

Compared to the rowdy UK.

France is much simpler, not to mention whether the EU is good or bad, Deta's first proposal to cancel all the indemnities of the defeated countries, France is impossible to agree.

There were also numerous demonstrations against the European Union in France.

Just a meaning anyway.

It is impossible to refuse compensation.

...

Mussolini in Italy was really confused. Originally, he wanted to have a good time, and he also believed that this proposal could not be implemented. Unexpectedly, the British Prime Minister Baldwin directly supported the proposal, and the influence of this proposal was further expanded.

On the contrary, Mussolini did not know what to do, and it was impossible to directly withdraw the previous approval vote. That would be too shameless, and it would also attract the attention of the whole of Europe.
