After Ni Hua arrived in Chongqing, he worked in the Chongqing Eighth Route Army Office for a while and soon arrived in the United States. Because of the issue of the concession and the relationship between Britain and France and the United States, the United States and Britain had gradually changed their attitude at the beginning of the war.
, began to provide small amounts of financial aid to China. Ni Hua's trip to the United States not only received full support from the CCP, but also received strong support from Chiang Kai-shek and his wife and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the National Government, and even the US Embassy in China was fully cooperated.
Liu Yimin once said that the relationship between countries is a relationship of interests.
The fundamental reason for the tension between the United Kingdom and the United States is that the United States undermined the "open door" policy formulated by the United States and affected the interests of Britain and the United States in China.
To put it bluntly, the reason why the United States remained neutral in the early stages was that domestic isolationism was prevalent because of the interests of the United States, but it was not considered as a reconciliation.
As early as 1899, because the US export trade volume with China tripled compared with 1895, the US industry regarded China, which was vast, as the world's largest potential market, and was worried that the division of China by the great powers would lead to the United States losing its market in China and harming it.
The best interests of American business require the government to introduce measures to protect their current and future interests in China. Some American expanders also clamor for the Pacific Ocean to be the United States and demand that the Philippine Islands be used as a springboard to invade China. The US envoy to China repeatedly advises the State Department.
The most typical example of occupying a Chinese port is Fuller, the US Consul in Yantai. In addition to suggesting to occupy Yantai, he also whimsically suggested using an island in the Philippine Islands to exchange for Weihaiwei with the United Kingdom. The U.S. Department of Navy and Department of the Army are also actively planning to occupy Chinese ports.
.The Navy advocated the occupation of Zhoushan Islands, and the Army advocated the occupation of Bohai Bay. However, the US Army's quorum was only 62,000, and the Navy ranked only sixth and seventh in the world. It was busy with war with Spain.
Only then could not draw out the power to participate in the operation of the great powers to divide China. In addition, a huge anti-war activity broke out in the United States at this time, protesting the US occupation of the Philippines. The Democrats took the opportunity to accuse McKinley of the Republican government of foreign aggression and expansion in order to achieve the 1900s
In this way, the McKinley administration wanted to maintain the interests of the United States in China and cover up the invasion of China, so it introduced a "open door" policy, and the great powers carried out trade throughout China.
equal rights, interests and equal opportunities.
If this open door policy is proposed by the Chinese government, which is sovereign, independent, territorial, and prosperous, it will be open to the outside world. The Americans proposed it to ensure the interests of the United States in China. However, this open door policy was proposed by the Chinese government.
Later, the great powers of all countries recognized it, including the *** and Russia at that time. They gained some false reputations in the world, expanded the influence of the United States in China, and became the cornerstone of the United States' future policy toward China.
In fact, since *** launched the September 18th Incident, occupied the Northeast and established the puppet Manchukuo, the policy of opening up the door has been no longer feasible. Now, *** has proposed to establish a new East Asian order that integrates Japan, Manchuria and China, and requires countries around the world to recognize it.
This naturally completely overturned the open door policy and violated the interests of Britain and the United States in China. Contradictions are inevitable.
As early as the September 18th Incident, US President Hoover claimed that the *** occupied the three northeastern provinces in order to save their paralyzed economy and restore order in the Northeast, and the United States could not raise serious objections to this.
There are two main reasons why Hoover said such a bastard, one is the isolationist idea of the United States, and the other is that economic interests are at the forefront. You should know that in 1929, the US economy developed rapidly, with an annual output of 4.5 million cars and industrial
The total value is more than the total industrial value of the five countries of Britain, France, Germany, Italy and Japan, and exports account for only 8% of the GDP. In other words, the US economy does not rely on the world economy at all, and Americans can do it.
Relying on the development of the domestic market, this is the basis for the emergence and prevalence of American isolationism.
At this time, the economic crisis has seriously affected the US economy, with domestic factories closed, workers unemployed, and 20 million people on the hunger line. At this time, in order to transfer the risks of the economic crisis, *** has formulated to stimulate the expansion of aggression against China to stimulate China in order to transfer the risks of the economic crisis.
The economic development strategy, by 1932, the military expenditure had already accounted for 37% of fiscal revenue, and most of this money was used to purchase industrial equipment and raw materials from the United States, which was in the midst of an economic crisis.
It is undoubtedly a big deal, and no one from the government to the industry is willing to offend the buyer ***. This is why Hoover's attitude and the United States and *** are involved in the Northeast issue.
After Roosevelt was elected president, he inherited the policies of Hoover and Stimson on the issue of China, and did not take any action to aid China except for the implementation of the "not recognized" policy. Later, in March 1933, Roosevelt received the US in **
* Ambassador Joseph Grummy reported that *** had the most coordinated and perfect war machine in the world, and their imaginary enemy was the United States. Roosevelt woke up from his dream, while implementing Roosevelt's new policy and expanding the navy.
In 1935, Roosevelt proposed the largest strengthening of the army and naval defense budget for peacetime of $1.1 billion, and the United States truly began to prepare for war.
By the time of the Lugou Bridge Incident, *** increased military expenditure year by year due to the need to expand the aggression, and military expenditure had reached 47%. At this time, the US defense budget accounted for only 1.5% of national income. *** people saw this,
Thinking that the United States is the sleeping lion, the later it wakes up, the better. On the one hand, negotiating and then negotiating with the United States, elevating Japan-US relations to the highest level, while seizing the time to import industrial equipment and strategic materials from the United States. Among them, scrap steel imported from the United States
It accounts for 92% of the total scrap steel imports, 45% of lead, 65% of copper, and with oil and rubber, the United States has become the largest supplier of materials to support the war of aggression against China.
The Americans didn't know that they were planting disasters for themselves. It was precisely because the steel, oil and rubber that were continuously transported from the United States that gave the people a huge armed force.
The close diplomatic relations between Japan and the United States and the huge economic and trade relations led to the United States still maintaining a neutral attitude when the War of Resistance broke out in full swing. Secretary of State Hull is still claiming that the United States cares about all armed conflicts and suggests peaceful negotiations to resolve the dispute. This guy opens his eyes wide open
It was not until the Japanese plane sank a US ship and announced that the Chinese coast that Roosevelt announced that the official US ship was banned from the US ship.
Arms are allowed to be transported to China or the United States. Merchant ships with American flags conduct arms transactions with China and Japan at their own risk.
When the Americans needed support the most, they actually declared neutrality!
It was not until Ni Hua held a press conference in the United States to expose the atrocities of the Japanese army and call on the United States to interrupt trade with Japan that the American people and the media made a call for justice and began to donate money and materials to China and support China's war of resistance. However, at this time ***
Military expenditure has accounted for more than 70% of fiscal revenue, while the United States' own military expenditure is only 11.7% of fiscal expenditure, accounting for 1.6% of total national income, making it the lowest among major countries in the world.
If you don’t have money to purchase, those steel giants, oil giants, and rubber tycoons naturally have to sell their supplies to rich little ***ers in order to make money. The industry is still doing business with small ***ers in a booming public opinion.
Of course, due to Ni Hua's publicity, the trade with *** was not going well. As long as everyone knows that it was a goods sent to *** by a company, there will be reporters and there will be a Chinese Business Association.
Organize forces to intercept. Xiao *** was very dissatisfied with this and repeatedly asked the US government to maintain normal trade order.
In November 1938, *** proposed to establish a new East Asian order that integrates Japan, China and China, and pointed directly at the United States' open door policy. Roosevelt immediately returned the color and loaned China $25 million to begin supporting China's war of resistance. However,
At this time, the US's aid policy for China was still on the premise of not angering the *** people, and the intensity was not high.
The situation is different now. The people occupied Hainan Island in February this year and Nanwei Island in March. They are in a favorable position to attack the Philippines and Singapore at any time. They are posing as controlling the Western Pacific and actively working with Germany.
, Italy negotiated and formed a military alliance. No matter how stupid the Americans were, they knew that *** was challenging the United States' status in Asia.
It was under this background that Ni Hua came to the United States.
The only one who accompanied Ni Hua to the United States was Han Qing, the personal guard she chose.
Originally, the central government planned to send high-level leaders to visit the United States and send several cadres to the United States to strengthen the strength of the Minhua Company. Unfortunately, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the National Government did not agree. Their reason was that going to the United States was a diplomatic matter, and foreign affairs must
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the National Government is responsible for handling it, and *** does not have this power.
The Eastern Angels returned to the United States and were warmly welcomed by journalists, overseas Chinese and ordinary Americans.
Ni Hua first went to New York to visit his mentor Mr. Doug. He didn't see him for a long time, and Mr. Doug was still in good spirits. He never expected that his proud disciple would return to the United States so soon and asked Ni Hua to tell in detail about his experience after leaving.
Ni Hua couldn't resist Mr. Doug and told him about the situation after leaving. When he heard that Ni Hua was being chased by Japanese planes and warships on the sea and almost buried in the sea, Mr. Doug was so surprised that he kept crying.
After hearing Ni Hua and Liu Yimin's reunion, the couple both played for the anti-Japanese battlefield. Mr. Doug grinned happily and laughed. After laughing, he asked about the medical team that accompanied Ni Hua to China to China.
Ni Hua gave a detailed introduction to the work and life of the six medical teams supporting China, and took out the photos he took for Mr. Doug to show them, introducing the meritorious service of these medical team members one by one.
After reading it, Mr. Doug sighed: "If I were younger, I would go to China to treat the wounded and help the Chinese fight against the *** people."
Ni Hua thanked Mr. Doug for his sympathy and support for the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, and also promised like Mr. Doug that when the War of Resistance is victorious, he would invite his teacher to visit China and let his husband accompany the teacher to see the Great Wall of China and Jiangnan.
Famous places.
Mr. Doug was laughing with his eyebrows and even said "0k"!
