Eight hundred and eighty-fourth chapter down and down Messerschmitt
Starting in 1926, the first Asia-Africa-Latin America Forum was held, and then it was held every two years. It is now the third forum.
This forum has attracted special attention from all parties. Due to the unprecedented economic crisis, weak countries hope to find a way out, while those still colonized countries see the decline of the West. They hope to rely on China's support to launch a national independence movement.
.
With various demands, representatives from these countries gathered in Beijing, hoping to get the answers they wanted from Zhang Tinglan.
Among these representatives, the most eye-catching one is Chile’s Bachelet, because just a month ago, China and Chile signed a strategic partnership agreement, and at the same time an investment guarantee agreement between the two countries was reached.
China invested 6 million in Chilean mines, and another 4 million was used to purchase Chilean agricultural and mineral products. With this 10 million investment, Chile's foreign trade came to life in an instant, and government finances were able to maintain it.
During the Great Depression, all countries in South America were severely affected. There were strikes in Brazil and Argentina, and demonstrations and conflicts continued in various places. Only Chile was able to temporarily stabilize, all of which came from the support of China.
As soon as Bachelet saw these representatives, she smiled and said: "We have just signed a currency swap agreement with China. From now on, trade between the two countries can be carried out directly without going through Western banks for settlement. According to estimates, this year's trade
It is expected that positive growth will resume, and we will be able to get rid of the impact of the economic crisis in two years at the latest."
The Chileans' proud oath made other small countries very happy. At the same time, they also saw that China was different. After all, it was once a kingdom of heaven. It did not do things as cleanly as the Western barbarians, and pursued interests everywhere.
Maximization. Therefore, various countries have requested to sign similar agreements with China.
Zhang Tinglan is also very satisfied with these demands. This is exactly the effect he wants. If China wants to become a big country, it must have a few subordinates to cheer for you and win over a group of countries. Europe cannot intervene, so it has to
Start with these peripheral countries.
Moreover, as international trade is currently shrinking, it is the right time for China's industrial products to expand its territory and seize the gaps left by other countries. Otherwise, there will never be such an opportunity again.
At the opening ceremony of the forum, Zhang Tinglan delivered a speech: “Dear representatives and international friends, the entire world is in a serious crisis. This crisis did not arise out of thin air, but is the result of excessive speculation in some Western countries.
.And after the crisis broke out, various countries started a trade war very irresponsibly, creating tariff barriers, obstructing international trade, and trying to survive the crisis in a way that harmed the interests of other countries. I would say that this kind of behavior harms others but does not benefit oneself.
The problem will not be solved at all by the way we act, and this irresponsible attitude will not make us a respectable big country."
Zhang Tinglan's speech just touched everyone's heart. He won enthusiastic applause from all parties, and several African representatives even danced. They had long been dissatisfied with the West, and now Zhang Tinglan said what they wanted to say but could not.
It hit the spot, and my favorable impression of China instantly increased a lot.
"If we want to solve the current crisis, we must first restore confidence and get rid of the Western world's monopoly on international trade. Only by restarting trade can the economies of various countries restart, with investment and jobs. With consumption, the economy
There is hope. We cannot wait for the West, nor can we count on others. Only by relying on ourselves to establish a new economic order can we ensure the interests of everyone."
…
Zhang Tinglan talked eloquently and talked a lot. The core issue was one, which was to propose the establishment of a joint bank for trade settlement!
Don't underestimate this proposal. Compared with real swords and guns, this thing is more cruel because bank settlements require handling fees. This has caused the trade of various countries to revolve around the British pound and other Western currencies, allowing them to exploit them in vain.
Getting fatter.
Of course, don't be resentful. Who allows our national power to extend to all parts of the world? The British fleet is the best bodyguard of the British pound. Every major lane is under our control. International trade is a matter of just one word. Who can
How dare you not use their currency!
It is precisely because of this transcendent status that Britain has become the world's hegemon. At this time, Zhang Tinglan wants to set up a settlement circle and start a new business. He is digging up the ancestral graves of the British. This is the most hated thing.
Zhang Tinglan dared to do this because he had the confidence, and the source of the confidence was that the three aircraft carrier battle groups were gradually formed and had the ability to intervene at sea. He was not afraid of the British doing harm. If necessary, he would start a war!
Among the small partners China has brought together, China itself is the largest and has the most developed economy. There is no doubt that Hua Yuan is the core. Without the ability to intervene in distant seas, the British can stir up trouble in a certain area at will, which will cause Hua Yuan
After several crises, Huayuan's credit collapsed completely.
With an aircraft carrier, it is completely different, so Zhang Tinglan put forward this proposal. Representatives from various countries immediately joined in the heated discussion. Zhang Tinglan has already made a promise that as long as China joins this circle, China will spend at least 1
Billions of dollars in purchases.
100 million yuan may not have much effect on Europe and the United States, but for these small countries, it is a huge piece of cake and has aroused strong reactions from all parties.
Finance Minister Yan Zepu found Zhang Tinglan after the meeting. When they met, he smiled and said: "The President, Iran and Siam have expressed their willingness to join this alliance. In addition, Egypt also agreed, and the representative of Turkey also said that they would join the alliance."
Think about it. If we can bring all these countries in, if nothing else, Iran alone can provide us with 1 million tons of oil every year. Once the settlement circle is established, our foreign trade can increase by at least 30% and tax revenue can increase by 180 million!
"
To be able to buck the trend and rise in the midst of a big crisis is definitely a remarkable achievement. Yan Zepu really admires Zhang Tinglan's layout ability.
Who in this world can still see that these small and inconspicuous countries have such important value and are simply the key to China's exit from the crisis.
"Minister Yan, we have to strike while the iron is hot. It is best to put up the bank's framework before the British react. In addition, I will send the Fengtian aircraft carrier battle group to conduct a global visit to let other countries see our maritime fist."
.”
Of course Yan Zepu knows this. This is not a round-the-world visit. It is clearly a demonstration. It is warning other countries that China wants to establish its own circle. If you want to use evil hands, you must weigh the weight. This is similar to the Great White Fleet of the United States.
You are endorsing United Bank!
"Don't worry, President, I will definitely get things done in my humble position."
What is a superpower? It just prints a piece of paper and others have to spend it as money. This is the style of a superpower. And this United Bank is the first step to seize financial hegemony. Zhang Tinglan thinks of himself.
Very satisfied with the move.
After instructing the diplomats to properly arrange the representatives of various countries and make them feel at home, Zhang Tinglan returned to the Presidential Palace. Just as he arrived home, another good thing came.
Zhang Zuoxiang has arrived in Germany. The relationship between China and Germany has been very close in the past ten years. Moreover, Germany is in trouble. For Zhang Zuoxiang's arrival, it gave an extraordinary reception. People from the military, government, business, and all walks of life rushed to the port in person.
When Zhang Zuoxiang stood on the deck and saw the dark crowd greeting him, he just felt that Beier had some face.
"Han Qing. I really didn't expect that the old uncle could still survive to this day. I'm afraid President Yuan Da back then didn't have as much magnanimity as me!"
"How dare you! Yuan Shikai was begging foreigners, but now foreigners are begging us. Of course it's different!"
"It's different, it's indeed different!" Zhang Zuoxiang laughed loudly: "We men must straighten our backs, and we must not lose face."
Germany's Chief of General Staff Seeckt was present in person, and President Hindenburg also sent the Secretary-General of the Presidential Office. In addition, Germany's Siemens, Rheinmetall, Krupp and other famous large companies sent representatives.
Zhang Zuoxiang received unprecedented courtesy, and all walks of life in Germany regarded the old man as their savior. The Treaty of Versailles signed during World War I completely crushed Germany's dignity and caused a large loss of social wealth.
After the war, Germany relied entirely on American capital to survive, but now the Americans are finished. The situation in Germany is even more miserable. 6 million people are unemployed, more than 30,000 companies have closed down, the unemployed are flooding the streets, foreign trade has stopped, and food cannot be shipped in.
More and more Germans are going hungry, and a sense of despair pervades the entire country.
At this time, Zhang Zuoxiang brought a huge purchase sum of 1 billion US dollars, and the Germans in desperate situation saw a glimmer of light. Especially the big companies, eagerly hoping that Zhang Zuoxiang would favor them, so at the welcome ceremony, these people
Almost flattering, he praised China's development, talked about the friendship between the two countries, and tried his best to promote his products.
It’s just that Zhang Zuoxiang is still more cautious. He knows very well that this money was obtained by his son with all his hard work. If even a penny is wasted, he will be sorry for his son. Therefore, after Zhang Zuoxiang arrived in Germany, he did not blindly place an order, but first asked for it.
Figure out the situation and find the best buy.
Zhang Xueliang was not polite. He had studied in Germany for many years and had many friends from all walks of life. Therefore, he tried his best to mobilize all connections and find the most valuable companies.
On the second night after they arrived in Berlin, Randall found them. As soon as they met Zhang Xueliang, the two of them hugged each other cordially.
"Old friend, I haven't seen you for a few years, but you have been promoted to major general. It's really amazing!" Zhang Xueliang said with a smile.
"According to your Chinese rules, should I give me a red envelope?" Randall stretched out his hand directly.
Zhang Xueliang chuckled: "Before I came, I asked Zhuoyan for twenty internship places. German soldiers can board the Fengtian for internship. What do you think of this gift?"
Randall smiled and punched Zhang Xueliang's chest with his fist: "Friends enough! Sooner or later, the Germans will be re-armed, and I firmly believe that this day is not far away. The crisis makes everyone despair, but it is also this kind of despair,
Only then did I see the hope of new life!”
"Old friend, I don't want to listen to your tongue twisters anymore. Is there any suitable company you can recommend to us?"
"I've known for a long time that you are a vampire and you only want to get German technology, but I really have a company that I want to recommend to you."
"What company?"
"Bavaria Aircraft Factory." Randall said without hesitation.
Zhang Xueliang had some impressions of this company. During World War I, it built fighter planes for Germany. However, after the end of World War I, Germany was deprived of the right to have an air force. The Bavarian company could only use the wood used to produce aircraft to produce furniture.
and bicycles.
This is also the epitome of the Germans’ misery after World War I. It’s no wonder that Germany is motivated to take revenge. This situation cannot but make people angry.
Zhang Xueliang only knew these things, but he didn't know that the Bavarian aircraft manufacturer had another name in later generations, called Messerschmitt AG!
During World War II, Germany's best fighter Bf109 was produced by this company. A total of more than 35,000 aircraft were produced. The fact that a single type of aircraft can produce so many also shows the success of this aircraft from the side. And the creation
This miracle is the genius of aircraft design, the famous Messerschmitt.
But now he is in trouble. Randall introduced to Zhang Xueliang: "Mr. Messerschmitt designed several prototypes, but the test flights did not go well, and a test pilot named Hans was also killed.
The pilot died. This test pilot was a close friend of Milch, the head of the Air Force department, so Milch held a grudge, and the next thing you know..."
Upon hearing Randall's introduction, Zhang Xueliang immediately frowned: "Old friend, according to you, this Messerschmitt is a complete broom star, not a treasure."
"No, I have seen his design. It is definitely the most advanced fighter plane. It failed because it was too advanced. If the German military had not had conflicts with him, I would not recommend it to you!" Rand
Er argued loudly: "And you must promise me that you can let Mr. Messerschmitt return to the country when Germany is re-armament. I believe he can build the most powerful War Eagle."
Seeing that Randall was so swearing, Zhang Xueliang had no choice but to seek Zhang Zuoxiang's opinion. Zhang Zuoxiang had not spoken. He was observing Randall. This young German general was not a liar. Since he was so confident, then
Should take a look.
"Han Qing, in this case, let's go to the aircraft factory and have a look."
Accompanied by Randall, Zhang Zuoxiang and Zhang Xueliang hurried to the Bavarian Aircraft Manufacturing Factory the next day. As soon as they arrived at the gate, they saw several workers locking the factory gate.
All of these people were very lonely and dejected. Among them was a tall, middle-aged man with little hair, a large forehead, a raised chin, and a big donkey face. His appearance was not good-looking, and there was a cloud of worry between his brows.
"Willy, I brought you two friends. They want to take a look at your aircraft." Randall said excitedly: "They are huge financial backers. As long as you can get his support, your aircraft factory will
