Chapter 830 Warship Diplomacy

During the economic crisis, money is not the most important thing. What is terrible is that the social economy has almost stopped. On one side, there are people who are hungry, on the other side, there is food rotting on the farms and milk being poured into the rivers.

China has taken great pains to recruit these workers, providing them with food, clothing, supplies, even coffee and cigarettes.

Therefore, more and more American workers are crowding in front of Chinese recruitment offices. They have experience in bargain hunting in Germany. These workers are quite professional. What they need are real talents. They have worked in the factory floor for more than ten or twenty years.

The old mechanics, as for those who want to cheat food and drink, will be kicked out as soon as possible.

Guo Zhen is a second-generation Chinese born in the United States. He has received American education since he was a child, and he has no knowledge of that distant motherland. In recent years, he often sees his parents and grandparents talking to each other.

An old newspaper burst into tears, crying and laughing, just like a child.

He also gradually understood that China had stood up again, defeated many opponents, restored its unity, and was developing its economy rapidly. However, compared with the prosperous and developed United States, the gap between China and China was still too far, so far that he could not even

Don't want to think about it.

But the sudden Great Depression shattered his superstition in the United States, and that paradise-like place began to shatter. At this time, the Chinese suddenly arrived in the United States, and they almost became saviors. Because he knew Chinese, Guo Zhen took the initiative to act as a translator, working every day

Countless Americans came here.

These American workers, who were starving and in extreme poverty, all hoped to go to China to make a living. Looking at the long queue, Guo Zhen yearned for China for the first time.

"I am a senior fitter, this is my work certificate and proof of professional skills."

A white man in his forties tremblingly delivered the document to Guo Zhen. Guo Zhen looked at it. Suddenly his eyes lit up. This guy was a fitter from General Motors with twenty years of work experience.

In the workshop, he is definitely a technical backbone.

"Sir, you have two options, one is a five-year work contract and the other is a ten-year work contract."

"What's the difference?"

"With a five-year contract, you can only get a settlement fee, and only you can go to China. If it is a ten-year contract, China allows you to bring your family there. After working for ten years, you will be assigned a house and given

You have the right to live permanently. You will also enjoy medical care, pension, work-related injury and accident insurance, all of which will be paid for by China. This guarantees that you will not have any worries for the rest of your life."

China wants to recruit workers. They cannot only work for one or two years. Then when the U.S. economy improves, they will just walk away, which will be too little help to China. Therefore, the minimum number of years is also five years, so that China can learn leisurely.

their technology.

Those who are willing to work for more than ten years are basically regarded as skilled immigrants. China definitely attaches great importance to these talents and the treatment is quite generous.

After the workers in the queue became aware of it, they all became commotion and started talking among themselves.

"Sign a ten-year contract and you will have no worries for the rest of your life. I never expected that the treatment in China is better than that in the United States."

"The whole family has gone to a strange place. I can't believe it. Maybe in five years, the United States will recover and we can come back."

"Dream, I don't think the United States will get better in ten thousand years. I have completely despaired of the United States!"



These workers talked a lot and all had their own plans. In the end, the fitter chose a ten-year contract. He was no longer young. He just wanted to be with his family and live a stable life. It didn't matter where he went.

The U.S. government was also troubled by the unemployment wave at this time. It could only turn a blind eye to China's poaching behavior and allow thousands of workers to flow to China.

In New York and other places, there are special Chinese passenger ships that are responsible for bringing these skilled workers back to China. In addition, a large amount of purchased equipment is also shipped quickly. With talents and equipment, what is missing is entrepreneurs. As long as these three are combined

1, a brand new industrial zone will appear in China.

After Zhang Tinglan rectified the enterprise, he launched special entrepreneurial support funds to encourage the development of emerging enterprises. In economically active areas such as Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Guangdong and Guangxi, factories sprung up like mushrooms after a rain. While the world was mourning, the East entered.

A contrarian upward trajectory.

"Dad, how are you doing these days?"

"There is nothing wrong with eating well and sleeping well!" Zhang Zuoxiang said with a smile: "On your side, your eyes are red all day long. This important national matter cannot be done in a day or two. How much more can you do?"

Take care of yourself."

Zhang Tinglan also smiled bitterly: "This big crisis is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. How can I dare to slack off! Dad, this is not just an economic crisis, but also a world political crisis. If countries are in crisis, they will fall deeper and deeper into the crisis, and even

If we can’t get out, we will inevitably embark on the path of military expansion. If we don’t seize the time to strengthen our industry, we may suffer losses in the next world war!”

Zhang Zuoxiang was also shocked: "Immodestly, do you think it will really develop into a world war?"

"The world is inseparable. Since the tariff war, this tendency has become stronger and stronger. Britain and France have established small markets by relying on their huge colonies. The whole world has been divided into several parts, such as Germany, Italy, and Japan.

How can a country with a small market and insufficient colonies be willing to do so? In addition, Russia's industrialization has also entered the fast lane. Coupled with the United States and China, can our size tolerate the British and French domination of the world? An unprecedented war is absolutely unavoidable.

"

"Hey, I didn't expect it to be so serious. I am also old and useless. I can't help you..."

"Dad, you are not old. Besides, there is really something I need your help with?"

"Oh?" Zhang Zuoxiang suddenly became interested and said with a smile: "What exactly is it? As long as I can do it, I am obligated to do it."

"How about you go to Europe for me to visit?" Zhang Tinglan said with a smile; "Dad, there is a large-scale construction in China now, and I really can't get away, but the situation in Europe is too important. After thinking about it, I just

Only you, the veteran, take action."

Zhang Zuoxiang laughed loudly: "No problem, I agreed, but I have a dark eye on the West and don't understand anything. Don't make people laugh."

"Don't be afraid. No one is laughing at you these days, and you don't dare to laugh at the God of Wealth. I will always prepare a billion dollars in purchasing expenses for you. Just throw the money around, and I guarantee that all countries will regard you as the God of Wealth."

Zhang Zuoxiang frowned: "One billion dollars is not a small amount. You can rest assured that you will keep the steel and use it on the blade. It will never be wasted. But if you just spend money, you still can't find me. Tell me, what's the matter?"

Is it a secret thing?”

Zhang Tinglan smiled slightly: "You really know everything, and I can't hide anything from you. I want you to go to Germany, meet with Hitler, the leader of the Nazi Party, and express our willingness to support his cause and provide them with 10 million funds."

"

Ten million! This is not a small amount. Zhang Zuoxiang's face suddenly became serious: "I beg your pardon, if you spend so much money, does this Hitler have the ability to seize power in Germany again?"

"Yes, I am very optimistic about his party. If I support him now, when they come to power, I will be rewarded a thousand times!"

Zhang Zuoxiang has also been inactive these past few years. He immediately prepared to leave for Europe. Zhang Xueliang, who was familiar with the situation in Europe, also joined him. They boarded the Yantai cruiser and crossed the ocean to Europe.

Just when Zhang Zuoxiang had just left, another group of people came to China in a hurry, and it was none other than Chilean Navy Minister Victor and Bachelet.

Chile and China had just completed the warship contract and their relationship was quite close. Navy Commander Shen Honglie personally received them.

"General Victor, what do you want to do when you come to China? Is it a problem with the battleship?"

"Yes, I first want to verify one thing. Can China help Chile build a warship as scheduled?"

"Of course there is no problem. At Jiangnan Shipyard, we have laid the keel and the project is proceeding as expected. If you are interested, you can go and see the progress of the project now."

"Thank God." Victor breathed out.

Shen Honglie glanced at these two people and asked unhappily: "Have you heard any bad news? Is there any news that China will breach the contract?"

Bachelet on the side looked embarrassed, glanced at Victor, and then said hesitantly: "It was the Americans who breached the contract!"

It turns out that in order to equip the battleships with auxiliary ships, Chile ordered a heavy cruiser just like the United States. The Americans fully agreed. However, as soon as construction started, they encountered an economic crisis. The shipyard asked Chile to invest more. But the Chileans had just sent the funds, and the shipyard

It went bankrupt, and all the advances made by the Chileans were wasted.

They could only protest to the U.S. government, but the explanation given by the Americans made Chile vomit blood. Originally, according to the Washington Treaty, the contracting countries were not allowed to sell battleships, or even large-caliber naval guns.

According to common sense, Chile’s navy bid cannot be completed at all. However, during this period, the biggest variable appeared, and that was China!

Since China is not a party to the party, but the navy has been advancing by leaps and bounds, various countries have discussed re-entering the treaty, or bringing China in, or completely abolishing the restrictions. During this gap period, major shipyards joined the Chilean Navy in order to build momentum for the navy.

of bidding.

Fortunately, Chile gave the contract to China, otherwise they probably wouldn't have been able to get the warships, and the U.S. Congress could have completely rejected it.

Heavy cruisers were also under restrictions, and it was almost unthinkable for the Chileans to win the lawsuit. After hitting a wall in the United States, Victor was worried that the same problem would occur in China, so he hurried to China.

After learning the inside story, Shen Honglie vowed: "You don't have to worry, the Chinese are very particular about keeping promises, and there will definitely be no mistakes in the warships that should be sold to you."

"That's great, Mr. Commander, Chile's financial situation is also a bit difficult. I wonder if the construction funds can be delayed a little?" (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
