Chapter 202 The Real Big Loser (4000 words)



Even after England joined the Europa League, its monetary system remained independent.

This time, they're even willing to abandon the monetary system in order to rejoin the Europa League, which shows their determination.

The American side naturally does not want to see a fully integrated Europe.

However, he lacked sufficient leverage to stop England.

America could only instruct its own media outlets to publicize the negative aspects of the Europa League.

However, the desire to bring England back into the Europa League has only grown stronger.

In the first referendum in 2016, the difference in votes between those who left the EU and those who didn't was only about two million.

Guided by public opinion, England passed a referendum to rejoin the Europa League, which was approved almost immediately.

The topic has sparked heated discussions among netizens on Twitter, Quora, and YouTube.

"I can't understand why we want to rejoin the Europa League? Paying exorbitant membership fees every year to subsidize other member states? What's even more terrifying is that everyone actually passed a resolution to rejoin the Europa League!"

"Our glorious maritime traditions have been abandoned by incompetent politicians!"

"We will be receiving a large number of migrant workers again. The good old days of not having Eastern European accents are over."

After rejoining the Europa League, English social media was filled with the lamentations and discontent of Brexit supporters.

This doesn't mean there are more people who support Brexit; it simply means the Remain camp achieved its goal, while the Leave camp was the loser.

The losing party is generally more likely to vent their frustrations on social media.

Germany, France, and other Europa Union member states have differing opinions.

The reaction from high-ranking officials in Germany and France was that a spoiler had arrived. The reaction from other Europa League member states was: "A wealthy nation has arrived; more subsidies are coming."

The Europa League's funding requires member states to contribute according to their GDP. England is undoubtedly a major contributor.

This is not only a major event within Europe, but also a global focus.

Chinese netizens also had a lot of discussion about this, with the question of England returning to the Europa League to the top of the trending search list on Zhihu for several days.

Although the political commentary circle on Zhihu has been declining in recent years with fewer and fewer high-quality answers, it was still glorious during the period from 2016 to 2018.

How would you evaluate England's series of questionable moves: joining the Europa League, leaving the EU, and then rejoining the Europa League?

"Thanks for the invitation. I'm currently in England, surrounded by people cheering for England's return to the Europa League."

Compared to the Leave and Remain camps of 2016, this year is quite interesting, with the camps being called Integrators and Isolators.

Those who support rejoining the European Union are called the integration faction, while those who oppose it are called the isolation faction.

The term "isolationist" originates from England's long-standing tradition of isolationist foreign policy. This is not something I made up; it's a term defined by The Times and accepted by the English people.

Upon rejoining the Europa League, England almost entirely accepted the Europa League's proposals, even abandoning its independent monetary system.

It's important to understand that abandoning the pound and adopting the euro not only means giving up monetary autonomy and independent monetary policy—the ability to implement expansionary or contractionary monetary policies—but also signifies England's future choice to be deeply integrated with the Europa League.

There won't be a Brexit as easily as there was in 2016.

Judging from my English classmates, the general consensus is that England should rejoin the Europa League, and there are very few isolationists.

However, in our department, the number of professors who advocate isolation and those who advocate integration is roughly equal.

Most isolationists believe that we should not put all our eggs in one basket and should continue the previous isolationist foreign policy.

Joining the Europa League would have a negative impact on the economy, and the influx of a large number of foreign workers would put a lot of pressure on England's welfare system, among other things.

Both sides have very valid and compelling reasons.

As an international student, I naturally support joining the Europa League, which means more open policies and more opportunities for me to stay and work in England.

From England's perspective, I can understand why they made this decision, because the world situation is completely different now than it was in 2016.

Major countries have significantly increased their investment in scientific research, such as China's lunar space station and America's Mars program.

All of this indicates that the next technological revolution is imminent. It's unrealistic for England to continue sitting on the fence. Joining the Europa League offers a chance to gain some benefits, but continuing to sit on the fence will only lead to being left behind by the times.

Chinese social media is filled with history, politics and economics enthusiasts, who can analyze the policy trends of various countries in recent years to a great extent.

Bio-storage, brain-computer interfaces, Mars landings, and a series of technologies that were once thought to be far away have all become a reality. One or two of them could be a coincidence, but their successive emergence is no coincidence.

People can sense that a new era of technological explosion is coming, but whether it will bring about a new generation of technological revolution remains to be seen.

Some people just like to interpret things in a positive light.

It's normal for people on Zhihu to be able to guess the general idea; the wisdom of netizens should not be underestimated.

The price England paid for this was not only the complete integration of its monetary system into the Europa Union, but also the sharing of magical research knowledge, the placement of future research bases in neutral countries, Wiles's trip to Brussels, and the unified management of the magoin he had used by the Europa Union, among other things.

The latter part pertains to underwater transactions, which is not well understood by the general public.
