Chapter 77 Targeted long-term layout (2)

The Dawes Plan has had a huge impact on the entire world. There is no doubt that judging from the historical results, this is the result of a brilliant political victory that was concealed by economic means. The impact of the plan on China is obvious

, at the end of 1924 alone, more than 5,000 of the 300,000 Germans in China returned to China. Fortunately, projects related to the military field have not changed much, and the restrictions on Germany under the Treaty of Versailles have always existed.

The wave of Germans in China triggered by the Dawes Plan to return to China lasted until the end of 1925, and then gradually stabilized. During this period, a total of 100,000 Germans chose to return to China, many of whom returned from companies in China. In contrast,

Come and see, these end at

Germans in Chinese companies are often the ones with poor management. From this point of view, it is not necessarily a bad thing for these people to return to Germany, but overall it still has a considerable impact on China. The departure of Germans has caused some corporate technical personnel to

A gap in demand for skilled workers has emerged.

In November 1924, the cabinet of the Republic of China government submitted a bill on financial reform. The silver-standard RMB was affected by the shortage of national silver reserves, resulting in insufficient currency circulation in the market. In fact, two years ago, when the People's Bank of China was founded, it proposed

The financial reform plan was proposed, but the Congress at the time did not pass it. This was the second time it was proposed, and it was proposed by the cabinet. The lack of currency has seriously affected the acceleration of the national economy, and the cabinet is deeply worried about this.

After more than a month of deliberation, Congress made countless remarks, and finally passed the latest currency reform bill before the end of the year. The RMB was abolished from the silver standard and changed to a credit currency, which is China's only currency under the law. The former

Silver and copper yuan were gradually withdrawn. The passage of this bill caused huge repercussions around the world. In view of the rapid heating up of Sino-US trade, the Ministry of Finance proposed the

A plan for direct settlement. Before this, the settlement unit was converted into pounds first, and the British got a free vote. This proposal aroused a strong reaction from the British government. British Foreign Secretary Churchill made an urgent appointment with the ambassador to the United Kingdom. The request

The Chinese government abandoned this approach and made it clear that the British Empire would take the most violent response. Almost at the same time that Churchill issued the threat, the British Far East Fleet assembled in Singapore.

The news spread back to China, causing strong dissatisfaction in the country. There were also different opinions and endless disputes within the Congress. In the end, Congress Speaker Xu Shichang proposed a vote, but because less than half of the people agreed, the proposal failed to be passed.

This incident caused a violent reaction internationally. Some Western analysts wrote analysis articles in major newspapers. They believed that the Chinese government's move undoubtedly sent a strong signal to the world. Unfortunately, the Chinese people's actions did not

In response to the American response, in today's prevailing atmosphere of isolationism, the Chinese are trying to seek an alliance between China and the United States.

Failed. The British media said that this was another huge victory for the British Empire and the emerging power China. After its economic strength and military strength have made great progress, the Chinese are trying to find a stronger sense of presence in the world.

It is a pity that this effort failed, and it also proved that the British Empire's world status was unshakable.

In March 1925, a breaking news shocked the whole world. The Chinese government sent a delegation to visit the Soviet Union to discuss issues of common concern between the two countries. At this time when the Soviet Union was isolated by the world, the Chinese government actually made such a move,

My jaw dropped.

For this matter, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs held a special press conference, and media reporters from all over the world gathered together to report this news. I don’t know if it was caught off guard by China, but the League of Nations did not respond immediately to this matter.

At the press conference of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, countless spotlights flashed at the moment when Foreign Minister Wang Chonghui walked out. When he walked to the rostrum, Wang Chonghui waited for a moment. After the scene became quiet, he spoke: "Dear friends from the media, thank you for your support of China.

The government's foreign policy concerns, and the content of today's press conference, everyone has known before. Some things in today's world exist objectively and will not be changed by human will. For example, the neighboring country with the longest border with China

The Soviet Union. As we all know, due to some historical reasons, the relationship between the two countries has always been relatively tense. The Chinese people love peace, and the Chinese government will ignore past grudges for the sake of peace, and the purpose is to ease relations..."

The opening remarks took less than three minutes, and the main theme was peaceful development. At the same time as the press conference, ministers from the United States, Britain, and France gathered in Fang Jianxiong's mansion. It is easy to imagine the purpose of coming here.

"Your Excellency, Chairman, the British Empire is very concerned about the progress of Sino-Soviet relations. Our Foreign Secretary, Mr. Churchill, has entrusted me to ask you to clarify the whole story of the Chinese delegation's visit to the Soviet Union." British Minister Sa Daoyi maintained the consistency of the British Empire.

With pride and reserve, he couldn't wait to question Fang Jianxiong. Judging from his tone, he meant that it would be impossible not to give an explanation.

Fang Jianxiong was sitting upright, holding a cigarette in his hand. There was no clue from his expression. Normally, such matters should be reported to the president and the cabinet, but these foreign devils are smarter than ghosts, so they naturally know who has the final say in China.

"In 1894, the British Minister to China, Ogner, publicly stated that the import of machinery was a blessing to non-Westerners. On August 17, 1912, the British Minister to China, Juldian, made four unreasonable demands in a memorandum sent to the Yuan Shikai government.

Brutally interfering in China's internal affairs on the Tibetan issue. Just at the end of last year, the British Far East Fleet gathered in Singapore to make armed threats against the Chinese Ministry of Finance's proposal for direct exchange of RMB and US dollars. If Mr. Minister comes this time, he still comes with the fleet, then please come back

Well. Please tell Mr. Churchill that the Chinese government's patience has its limits. If you simply think that the Chinese government's patience is weak, then I will tell you clearly now that the Chinese people will not hesitate to fight in order to defend their national sovereignty." Fang Jianxiong was unhurried.

Speaking slowly, Sa Daoyi's face turned pale. Although it seemed that Fang Jianxiong's expression did not change at all and remained calm. But the meaning revealed in these words was very clear. This time, the Chinese will not make any concessions.

.At the same time, it is certain that the current government of the Republic of China is not the Qing Dynasty, nor is it Beiyang.

Sa Daoyi, who was in a turmoil in his heart, still maintained a reserved pride on his face, but was actually complaining secretly. Fang Jianxiong said such words in front of the envoys of France and the United States, and he was simply preparing to break up. It can be imagined that

, the British Empire was not prepared to break up, nor was it capable of launching a new Opium War.

What to do? Just leave? There is no doubt that this is a stupid behavior! Thinking of the harsh message from Foreign Secretary Churchill, Sa Daoyi decided to sit down shamelessly and looked at the US Minister to China Curran. If the three people present

Minister, who can change Fang Jianxiong's tone in this atmosphere is the only American who has always had good relations with him.

Kelan originally planned to pretend that he did not see Sa Daoyi's eyes, but the US government also gave him the mission to understand the true intentions of the Chinese government. It would be more confident for him to face Fang Jianxiong alone than three ministers facing him together. In fact, the United States

The government has always hoped to integrate China's RMB into the US dollar system, and the Chinese also have this desire. However, the mainstream trend in the United States today is isolation. Against this background, when the British government reacted strongly, the U.S. government backed down.

"Your Excellency, Chairman, please calm down!" Curran still spoke. Today's China is too important to the United States. Since the end of World War I, China has been the largest trading partner of the United States. In the United States, where capital is the master, who is the leader?

If you can't get along with money, the entire American people can't get along with anyone. The annual trade with China is about 150 million US dollars, which is enough to make American capital crazy. When the world economy was in recession in the past five years, in order to earn money from the Chinese people,

American businessmen ignore technical barriers and sell everything good to China. Petroleum companies such as Mobil have jointly built ten refineries in China in order to import eight million tons of crude oil every year. In order to compete for the market, they have to use some technology.

It's just a feather. Boeing, a medium-sized company in the United States (in this era), directly put engine production in China just for the Chinese government's order of 400 aircraft. Don't tell me which country in this era

Apart from China, American capital can place such a large order in every industrial field in China, occupying 50% of China's industrial market. The constant flow of ocean-going freighters in the Pacific every year clearly illustrates this.

Question. The last time there was a minor turmoil in Sino-U.S. relations, U.S. agricultural exports dropped sharply, and the U.S. government was already on fire. This time... thinking that U.S. capital in China is close to five billion U.S. dollars, Curran simply cannot imagine it.

.Five billion US dollars in this year is such a crazy figure, enough to make the American capitalists bring down the government ten times.

"Mr. Ke Lan, I also want to have something to say, but the tone of some people's words really makes it impossible for me to calm down. In view of the needs of China's economic and diplomatic development, I will recommend that the Chinese government withdraw from the Allied Powers and the League of Nations." Fang Jianxiong

When they stopped, the expressions of the three ministers changed. When they saw Fang Jianxiong open his mouth again, their hearts were on tenterhooks, fearing that Fang Jianxiong would say the next sentence: "Withdraw from the Washington Naval Treaty." Fortunately, Fang Jianxiong was not really crazy.

Opened his mouth and closed it again.

Ke Lan quickly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. At that moment, countless white hairs of sweat appeared on his back. Over the years, many people have forgotten that Marshal Fang who once went crazy and dared to do anything.

No one will doubt Fang Jianxiong's influence on this country, no one will doubt the combat effectiveness of the Chinese Communist Party, and no one will doubt that once Fang Jianxiong goes crazy, he will make an alliance with the Soviet Union. Sitting in the position of the country's leader,

Naturally, national interests come first. Once the Allied Powers push China into a hurry, an alliance between China and the Soviet Union will definitely happen. As for launching a war to solve the problem, forget it, there is nothing the Allied Powers can do about a poverty-stricken Soviet Union. Not to mention
