Chapter 1647: It’s time to buy at the bottom

The Little South China Sea is full of flowers, rippling blue waves, and the scenery is beautiful.

In the parking lot in front of the Qinzheng Hall of Zhizheng Hall, An Yi had just come out of the car when Xu Ziliang and Wu Tingyan strode to meet him.

An Yi was not too polite, so he went to the small conference room of Qinzheng Building with the two. After the orderly soldiers took tea and left, Wu Tingyan said the German request.

An Yi picked up the tea and took a sip, asking Xu Ziliang to talk about the views of the officials of the Government Affairs Council.

Xu Ziliang said: "Now the international trend has reached a critical moment of either this or that. Germany, Italy is one side, Britain, France is one side. According to the intelligence provided by the Chairman, the Soviet Union has signed a secret covenant with Germany, so that Germany, Italy and the Soviet Union have become allies, Britain, France and its younger brothers Poland, Belgium and other countries to fight against the above three countries. As for the Americas, Europe and other Asian countries, except the United States, Japan and China, perhaps South China can count half, and other countries cannot reach the point of affecting the international situation.

"Although Britain and France are at a disadvantage in terms of the number of major powers, we must see that Britain and France are old colonial empires, with colonies spread all over the world, including the Commonwealth countries Australia, Canada, South Africa, India, the French northern and western Africa, etc., which can easily obtain various resources. In addition, the United States stood on the side of Britain and France without hesitation in the last European war. Therefore, from the perspective of comprehensive strength, Britain and France still have the upper hand.

"Looking at the German-Israel-Soviet alliance, the Soviet Union had to deal with the threat from the Far East Army and ours, and its territory was not bordered by Britain and France. Therefore, at the beginning of the war, it was only the right thing to do to consolidate the rear first, and to recover the land of Urals and Siberia. It is unlikely that they could directly participate in the war, but they could obtain advanced military technology from Germany by supporting Germany's coal, oil and steel to achieve the goal of the alliance.

"In the last European war, Italy originally belonged to the camp of the allies, but at a critical moment, it betrayed Germany, Austria, and finally Germany and Austria had to form an alliance with Turkey. Judging from the entire course of the war, the Italian army had no highlights in combat. Even if it invaded Ethiopia three years ago, it would not be glorious to win. Overall, the Italian army did not have the strength to change the balance of power between the two sides at critical moments.

"The only unpredictable thing is Germany. Since the end of the Central Plains War, the Chairman entered southern Sichuan, and Germany has launched all-round military cooperation with us, avoiding the constraints of the Treaty of Versailles on Germany. Many new technologies and equipment were developed since then. Later, as the Nazi government expanded its military preparations, these technologies were all applied to the German army. Now Germany is strong and conservatively estimated that Germany is more than one step higher than the British and French army. With the combat effectiveness shown by Britain and France in the colonial war, it is hard to believe that such troops can withstand the torrent of Germany's steel. If Germany can destroy France in one breath and join forces with Spain, which is also a fascist regime, then it will still have the strength to fight against Britain and the United States."

Seeing An Yi nodding repeatedly, Xu Ziliang said again: "Precisely because Europe has quickly formed two major camps, our Nanhua should not be too close to Germany. From the reality that Japan and Germany signed the Anti-Communist International Agreement and invaded China, we should appropriately lean towards Britain and France. While strengthening our own military strength, let the insatiable Japan provoke Britain. It is best to mess up the British colonial system in Asia so that we can benefit from it."

"What Brother Chonglou said is the old and successful country plan. An Yi admires..." An Yi was very impressed by Xu Ziliang's overall view, and then turned his head and looked at Wu Tingyan:

"Brother Tingyan, I wonder what ambassadors from various countries in Xinjing have to think about the emergence of the two major camps in the world today? What are their expectations for Nanhua?"

Wu Tingyan introduced: "So far, twenty-eight countries have sent envoys to South China, but only the embassies of Germany and Italy have been put into use. Other countries have purchased land in the embassy area planned in Xinjing to build their own embassy. Most of the envoys of various countries live in the State Guesthouse next to Hoan Kiem Lake.

"The ambassadors of Britain, France and other countries still do not know that Germany has signed an alliance with the Soviet Union in private, and perhaps even the Italian ambassadors know nothing about this, because the alliance signed by Germany and the Soviet Union is actually contrary to the purpose of the Anti-Communist International Agreement signed by Germany, Italy and Japan. Since the establishment of diplomatic relations, Britain and France have hoped that we will join the camp of the allies and jointly fight against the German and Italian axis. The United States hopes to sign an agreement with us to jointly restrict Japan's expansion in Asia and the Pacific region. As for Germany and Italy, we hope that we can join the Axis powers and restrain Britain's colonial army in Asia."

An Yi smiled bitterly and said, "We will never be able to allied with Germany and Italy, because in this way, Japan, which is a feud with us, will definitely choose to allied with Britain and France, and the world will be in chaos! With Britain and France as a support, Japan will inevitably put all its energy into China and South China, and the United States is also very likely to become our enemy. Once that happens, we will definitely become the eternal sinners of the country and nation.

"However, we cannot rashly reject Germany and Italy's kindness. We must now walk a tightrope between the Axis and the Allies, adopt an independent and mutually beneficial approach in diplomacy, and treat other countries except Japan equally. Even the Soviet Union, as long as they recognize our interests in Central Asia and Mongolia, we can cooperate with them."

Wu Tingyan and Xu Ziliang looked at each other and felt that the problem was difficult.

Xu Ziliang said with some embarrassment: "Now the German Foreign Ministry has extended its olive branch. They are eager to send troops this time, which is nothing more than trying to spy on the reaction of our government. Once it is rejected, Germany is very likely to cut off diplomatic relations with us and terminate all cooperation projects. At this critical moment of war with Siam, this risk is too great!"

An Yi smiled slightly: "Why should we reject the Germans? Not only do we not refuse, we also welcome them with both hands."

Looking at Xu Ziliang and Wu Tingyan's shocked expression, An Yi changed the subject: "However, we also want to invite Italy, Britain, France, the United States and other countries to send no more than one company of troops to form a coalition force to enter Siam together to show us the justice of South China's war against the Siam War. We in South China can cover all the costs of this army composed of soldiers of different nationalities. After they arrive in Bangkok, they only need to carry out simple tasks of protecting the expatriates, and we will solve the others by ourselves. Tell me, are Britain, France and the United States still worried about us walking with Germany and Italy in this way?"

Xu Ziliang woke up like a dream, Wu Tingyan slapped her thighs suddenly: "High! No one can say that we are wrong, but instead demonstrates our sincerity and declares our military power..." At this point, Wu Tingyan realized that she had lost her composure and said to An Yi apologetically:

"I'm sorry, Chairman, I can't fall in love with myself for a moment."

An Yi smiled and said, "Everyone is a revolutionary comrade, so there is no need to be so polite. Speaking of which, thanks to Brother Chonglou and Brother Tingyan, especially the diplomatic work, I know how difficult it is to carry out diplomatic work in a country that has just become independent from a colony. However, Brother Tingyan did a great job and cleverly dealing with the great powers to achieve such tolerant national environment today. Thank you Brother Tingyan for your hard work!"

Wu Tingyan shook her head repeatedly: "In fact, it should be Tingyan thanking the Chairman for her kindness. Before the revolution, although Tingyan had served as the Minister of the Hue court, she had no real power. Later, she was rejected for her request to establish an Annan legislative body to the French colonial government and was deprived of her title and threatened and arrested, so she had to live in seclusion and stay away from politics. If the Chairman had not liberated Annan, established a democratic Republic of South China, and appointed Tingyan to take responsibility, how could I achieve today?

"Actually, now that I, as a foreign minister, will do a good job, and a weak country without diplomacy, and only by serving under the chairman can you speak with a tough heart. No one knows that the chairman's army has repeatedly defeated the British, Japanese and Soviet troops, and our weapons and equipment are advanced, so we don't have to rely on others' breath, and we are not afraid of being choked by others. Everything is done according to our own national interests, so the difficulty of carrying out the work is naturally much less."

An Yi waved his hand: "Not everyone can stand up when facing foreigners. Brother Tingyan doesn't need to be too polite. By the way, I heard from Zihua that the British asked us to issue bonds in London?"

Wu Tingyan nodded: "This is true. The British are jealous of American treatment and require the same bond issuance quota as the United States. Our work to issue 500 million US dollars in the US market has entered the final stage. It is scheduled to be jointly sold by the four major banks of the United States Bank, China Bank, Citibank and Morgan Bank on September 1st. Judging from the current market feedback, since the interest rate is as high as 10%, major American banks, funds, individuals, insurance companies, and international investment institutions have responded strongly to this and applied for it. London is known as the largest international financial market, so it is naturally eyeing it."

"September 1?"

An Yi pondered: "Can the financial and diplomatic departments move faster and advance the issuance time to August 29th? On September 1st, Germany has a high chance of invading Poland, and I am worried that it will affect the confidence of investors. On the contrary, today is August 20th. In another eight days, Siam has basically decided the overall situation, which is a great promotion to the credit of our government. I believe that the issuance will achieve very good results at that time."

Wu Tingyan nodded quickly and agreed. Xu Ziliang said: "There is no problem with our government. The bank's chairman must explain to his wife personally, so that he can come up with a specific plan at the latest tomorrow and prepare for six days. There should be no problem with issuance on the 29th."

An Yi smiled and said, "Okay, I will call Chu'er after the meeting to implement the matter. Now, the situation at home and abroad has changed three times a day, and we must cheer up and face all challenges."

After Xu Ziliang and Wu Tingyan left, An Yi immediately held a short conference call with Ou Chuer and Zhou Chong'an. Given that Europe may have a war in September, various raw materials and mechanical equipment will rise sharply by then, it is determined that Huaqing Society's second-quarter earnings will not be submitted for the time being. It has joined forces with Zhang Xi and Situ Meitang's consortium to purchase grain, steel and other materials in the United States, purchase machine tools, electronic instruments, engines and other equipment, and purchase stocks related to steel, chemicals, arms, etc., and take this opportunity to buy at the bottom.
