France and Germany have a pretty good track record for developing things they want. Nuclear technology (including a weapon), GPS alternative, Airbus (arguably better then Boeing now), etc. So your statement is kind of a weird one to make.

I've planted money in the ground for a money tree. It'll sprout one day I'm sure of it.

Well, you might have better success if like France and Germany you already have the things you wish for and simply agree to start using it
