Chapter 356 French May Storm

Brezhnev had never been so happy one day after becoming General Secretary.

Since the completion of the construction of the Siberian line, the Soviet Union's control over the Far East has suddenly increased several times. As the general secretary, he can look up a lot of information by himself without the help of people below.

It feels really good to have everything under control.

"Czechoslovakia..."

At this time, Brezhnev's eyes suddenly turned to Eastern Europe.

Although the Far East is equally good, relatively speaking, Eastern Europe is more important. Millions of Soviet Red Army troops have been stationed in the Far East just to prevent China from being a destabilizing factor.

Now, Bo's own has a perfect understanding of the Far East's intelligence - although this information was originally passed on by officials from the Far East, it was reported directly to him by the officials in the Far East, rather than through layers of transmission and communication.

Information after modification.

Without the intermediate link, the following things will be much easier to do.

Rather than worrying about the east, Eastern Europe in the west is more important.

Europe in 1968 was a mess. It started with the Prague Unification in January, then the marches in France, and the UK, which is now very unstable. By the way, there were also various strikes of various sizes in Italy...

"That guy Dubcek..."

In 1968, Dubcek, the first secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia, launched a reform called "Unification of Prague", but from the Soviet Union's perspective, it had a tendency to break away from Soviet control.

Cracks within the Warsaw Pact have gradually emerged. The Soviet system has led to a significant decline in the production efficiency of various countries. More and more people are lying on the job, and workers are not active. Although on the surface, it seems that the national strength of the entire country is slowly increasing.

, but in fact it is gradually rotting inside.

——The unrest in Prague was the prelude to the drastic changes in Eastern Europe. It was precisely because the Soviet Union adopted the wrong way to deal with everything that it led to various things happening in the future.

Of course, Burnett is just unhappy now, and has not yet sent troops to attack Czechoslovakia. In the original history, the Soviet Union would have to wait until late August to send troops to invade Czechoslovakia.

Looking away from Czechoslovakia, Brezhnev immediately thought of France, which was undergoing a revolution.

After World War II, Charles de Gaulle served as President of the Fifth Republic of France. He implemented a series of domestic and foreign policies to develop France's economy and improve its international status. At this time, France originally wanted to join the Commonwealth - that is, the British Empire.

That - but it was not successful in the end. Although the economy developed, France's independent development of nuclear power was very costly and was opposed by both the left and the right. The president's arbitrary actions aroused people's dissatisfaction.

Immediately afterwards, the government's legislation against strikes led to workers' resistance, and the policy of reducing the number of small farmers also aroused farmers' resistance.

Due to the poor economic situation, as many as 500,000 people are unemployed, and young students are facing the threat of unemployment upon graduation. Various social conflicts are becoming increasingly acute. With young students as the forerunners, in May 1968, a far-reaching French Five Revolution

The moon storm broke out like this...

Although it seems that this "revolution" has a socialist tendency, in fact it is not the case - at least to some extent, such "socialism" will endanger the rule of the Soviet Union. Such a tendency seems to be more

It was influenced by China.

The opposition position of the French Communist Party can be said to be the position of the Soviet Union.

But Brezhnev, who had no foresight, was completely unaware of the serious impact of his actions. One of the most important consequences was that the development of the communist movement in Western Europe fell into a low state.

The unconscious Brezhnev was worryingly thinking about what would happen if France really experienced extraordinary changes.

At this time, Andropov was also working intensely.

The KGB has more and more information recently. Big events are happening all over the world. Even the KGB is in a hurry.

At this time, the whole world seemed to be in chaos.

"A ball of numbness!"

Even the conscientious Andropov started to complain, which shows what other comrades in the KGB think.

Since Andropov took charge of the KGB, the organization has become the most efficient department in the entire Soviet Union. But because of this, sometimes, they can be said to be too busy...

At this time, the Soviet Union felt somewhat calm - but this was just the prelude to the storm. In the second half of the year, the Soviet Union would also begin to become nervous.

But when it comes to the current situation, France is undoubtedly the most confused.

On May 2, the principal of Nanterai College closed Nanterai College unscheduledly and said: "There is a strange atmosphere among the faculty...a kind of mental abnormality that is very close to war."

The leader of the French Communist Party, Marcel, condemned the students. He said: "The futile fake revolutionaries at the University of Nanterre and everywhere else cannot change the historical reality at all." The French Communist Party has stood by the student movement from the beginning.

the opposite of.

Because of this, French young people have no expectations at all for their own so-called "Communist Party". At this time, they noticed the country in the Far East, so the students began to wear military coats.

Holding the Little Red Book, he then took to the streets holding a portrait of the Chairman...

However, the result of the incident was that 600 students were arrested.

As a result, the National Union of University Teachers called for a protest strike. The newspaper at the time said that "a mass movement was created in a few minutes."

Subsequently, students took to the streets, and the whole of Paris turned into a battlefield. The Paris police used batons, high-pressure water cannons, and tear gas to suppress the students. The students burned cars and threw stones to fight back the police. The students erected roadblocks, and the strike began to spread to universities and colleges across the country.

University students and students from other provinces rose up to support their Paris classmates.

French writer, famous left-wing intellectual, representative of "existential Marxism" Jean-Paul Sartre and his partner Simone de Beauvoir issued a manifesto calling on workers to support students.

On May 10, students occupied the Latin Quarter of Paris and built 60 roadblocks. Riot police launched an attack. 20 of the 30 universities in Paris held strikes, and 350 universities across the country were occupied by students. Trade Union Alliance

A general strike was held to protest against the government's suppression. Famous leftists such as Sartre, Lefebvre, and Gauz issued declarations stating that what the student movement demanded was not only to reform the university system, but also to avoid the "alienation system" of society.

This is a left-wing movement without the guidance of a so-called "communist party".

It is precisely because of this kind of movement that young people in Western European countries can see the faces of these people clearly and change the course of the world...

At this time, De Gaulle was not in the country. Because of this, the situation became increasingly chaotic.

And it was at this time that the British students also began to support the French students, which made things get out of hand.

…

"It's more serious than imagined..."

Sitting on the plane, Catherine read newspapers from a few days ago.

She knew that the "May Storm" would break out, but she did not expect that this event would be even crazier than in history.

Why are the British involved? Does this have anything to do with their wealth?

This is not the case in history!

"Forget it, so much has changed anyway..."

Catherine shook her head.

"What?" Elsa next to her didn't seem to hear Catherine's soliloquy clearly.

"No, it's nothing."

Could it be that the rate of change of the world line has exceeded 1? It may even have exceeded 10?

Let’s forget about this reason.

"But...this thing in France is really a big deal..." Catherine changed the subject.

"Ah, yes, the UK is also in trouble... I'm really worried about Madam." Elsa thought of Lady Susan again.

"Don't worry, my aunt will immigrate to the United States soon."

Erza nodded.

Although Catherine's birthday was in June, she still came back a lot early. Because the British suddenly came to visit, she still needed to solve the matter herself.

So after getting off the plane, Catherine went straight to the company.

"Ralph, what happened?"

As soon as she arrived at the company, Catherine began to ask about Ralph.

"The British think that our Internet has stirred up the situation in the UK, so they want us to be responsible."

Catherine was a little shocked: "Is the construction going to stop?"

Ralph shook his head: "They just want us to admit our mistakes. But I think this kind of thing cannot be compromised."

Catherine nodded and said, "You did a good job on this matter. In any case, this is definitely not our fault, and it definitely cannot be our fault."

Even if they are beaten to death, they will not obey. This is related to the credibility of the company. And judging from the other party's appearance, it is obvious that they want to find a scapegoat. If British scholars come to the conclusion that "research has found that the Internet can easily cause social unrest", then the company

The losses would be huge.

"The problem is that the British are still waiting for our answer..."

"Well, just let me handle this matter."

The British have no plans to terminate the Internet, which shows that they do not really think that the Internet is a bad thing. In fact, in the future, whether in the daily lives of ordinary people or in the offices of the Ministry of Government,

Can't live without computers and the Internet. Now the Pentagon has tasted the benefits, and they even want to promote such things to the military. The British here just want greater benefits. After all, the entire European network

It costs billions of dollars to build, which is a lot of money.

"Why are you so proud...you won't be able to keep going for a few more years!"

A few years later, during a strike in Britain, the Conservative Party was about to fall.

But that is not now, so I still have to deal with the other party for a while...

…

It’s the end of the month...please vote for me~a!~!
