Section 481: Internal Contradictions in the United States
Speaking of the young general of the security regiment, all the German staff present stopped talking. When they witnessed the general's growth in China, the Germans also supported the general with one hand. Now on the European battlefield, the general's weapons and ammunition support their country and fought a war, which can be said to be the opposite of the original time.
Half an hour later, the US Embassy called. Although it was only half an hour, it was also an intolerable thing for Americans. This shows that China is challenging them. Not to mention the circuit repair and inspection of embassies such as the embassy are the top priority. If there is no diplomatic issue, there will be no power outage in this place. Now no one from a senior official came to explain that it was a repairman from the Power Supply Bureau, saying that there was a problem with the telephone pole on their side, so the power outage was only half an hour. This explanation was given to such a person, General MacArthur smashed all the glass products in the office.
"I immediately complain to the Foreign Ministry of the Central Government and let them explain this matter. If they don't explain it well, let them wait for the anger of the United States of America!" This happened on the first day of General MacArthur's arrival, which made him feel that the dignity of the entire United States of America was challenged, so he had to let the Chinese government give him an explanation, otherwise, even if he left China, it would become a joke in the United States. This time, the people who followed him to China were not only governments, but also some American economic circles, such as Alice. Although they do not have any official positions in the government, their family has a huge power in the entire United States, and they must not be embarrassed in front of them. If they lose people, it is absolutely impossible to gain their support in the future.
"God General, our place is under the management of the Songhu War Zone. Now after the Japanese devils withdraw their troops, we are under the management of the Songhu Security Command and the Shanghai Municipal Government. Because the Shanghai Municipal Government does not have any power generation equipment, the power generation equipment here is all dispatched by the Songhu Security Command. The commander of the Songhu Security Command is now Xie Tianhua, the commander of the Central China Front Army of the Security Corps. If we protest to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Central Government, it will probably be of no use. Now the Central Government of the Republic of China is the management party of the security team.
There is no management measure at all, so if we want to protest, it is better to propose it directly to the Songhu Security Command." The embassy staff next to him are familiar with the operation of the Jiangnan region. Judging from the current situation, if you protest directly to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Central Government, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will also push you around. What these Chinese people are best at is to practice Tai Chi, which does not mean that real Tai Chi is to hand over these things to others. Anyway, don’t ask yourself to do this kind of responsibility. No one is willing to do it.
"I don't care who will raise this protest on your team. The answer I want to get now is that they guarantee that as long as the German embassy opposite does not have a power outage, we will not be able to cut off the power here. If the US embassy is outage next time, I will let these yellow pigs know how powerful we Americans are and will never give up. Do they think we are so easy to bully? Now no one in the world dares to treat us Americans like this. They are not good at Germans, and these Chinese are even worse. Do you think that you can do anything in their territory without going through your own brains." The embassy staff didn't know what to say, but in fact they all understand very well that the Chinese are different now than before. If they were killed by Chinese people in the past, they wouldn't dare to cut off the power outage for their embassy. Isn't it different now?
Chinese people don’t ask us Americans now. Although they still do business with us to buy some of our domestic machinery and equipment, it can be seen from the goods in Shanghai ports in recent times that it is obvious that there are much more merchant ships coming from Europe than merchant ships coming from the United States.
Chinese people generally only have two transaction objects, one is German and the other is American. When they are doing business with Germans, they are the most important thing to buy the mechanical equipment in the German occupied areas. When doing business with Americans, they also buy the older mechanical equipment replaced by Americans. Anyway, for a country where industry is just starting, if they buy the latest industrial equipment, they seem to be a little unaffordable. The main reason is that China does not have that much money now, and if they want to establish a complete industrial system, they need too much industrial equipment. It doesn’t matter if they buy some outdated ones, and they will develop slowly.
In the eyes of Shanghai Port, the cargo ships of these two countries can show who the security team has a better relationship with. Some time ago, due to the Soviet issue, the security team had some grudges with Germany, so the number of cargo ships coming from European countries was reduced a lot, most of which came from the United States. That period was when the security team had the best relationship with the United States, and now it is directly reversed. A large number of cargo ships were all driven from Germany. Germany removed all outdated machinery and equipment in the entire European occupied area and exchanged them with the security team for a lot of weapons and ammunition. Although the Americans wanted to make a knife at this time, they had no money for their equipment. The Germans snatched it directly, and there was no competitive advantage in price. Moreover, because of the guidance of the security team government, the merchants below also went to buy German machinery and equipment. For slightly more expensive American equipment, they didn't even look at it.
"I want to add that our relationship with China has now dropped to the lowest point in history. Because we support the Japanese relationship, China, which has no way to export machinery and equipment in China, originally had nearly US$1 million worth of goods to be transported to China every month, but now this value has dropped to US$200,000. We don't care about General MacArthur's intention to do your business, but our economics also have our concerns. Do we need to improve our relationship with China?" The economics personnel who accompanied us were a little reluctant.
