Seeing that the situation was over, General Percival, the British commander, had no choice but to send an envoy to sue for peace. After receiving Ma Zhongying's promise "not to kill or torture prisoners of war, or to seize personal property." He led more than 150,000 Commonwealth troops under his command to voluntarily lay down their weapons.
But what makes Ma Zhongying and even Hu Weidong very angry is that the ships of the Far East Fleet and more than 10,000 British naval officers and soldiers have all evacuated in advance, making their illusions of capturing warships come to nothing...
As a result, although the prisoner policy cannot be violated, it is inevitable to pick some dirty jobs during the labor reform and treat them warmly. The British master who used to be aloof was actually forced to help the people build bridges and roads, giving the people of Central and South China a
The huge psychological impact made them more in awe of the Red Party and the People's Liberation Army. This is undoubtedly very beneficial to Hu Weidong's plan to digest the Indochina Peninsula as soon as possible...
The news that the Chinese army swept across the Indochina Peninsula in just a few months shocked the whole world. The great powers had different attitudes towards this. The direct victims, the British and French governments, naturally "strongly condemned" and even threatened
It was to send an extra million troops to Asia to punish Red China for its "aggression", but Hu Weidong completely dismissed this because he knew very well that the law
The country now has a headache just to deal with Krim's rebels. How can it send troops to Asia? Without the cooperation of the French army, the British, who have insufficient army forces, are naturally unable to counterattack the Indochina Peninsula. If they can keep India, then
It’s time to thank God. And as long as Mustache attacks Britain and France, Britain and France will not be able to protect themselves, so it’s strange that they can still be tough...
As for the other major powers, the United States, which is worried about China becoming stronger, is naturally strongly opposed. But Uncle Sam, who is accustomed to sitting on the mountain and watching tigers fight, does not dare to directly intervene with armed force now that the European War has broken out, and can only step up its attack on China.
Economic and technological blockade. However, after obtaining the oil and rubber from Indochina, China
All resources can be self-sufficient, and there is even a lot of excess available for export. Mi Yao's economic blockade no longer has much meaning; as for the technological blockade, Zhongfu International has tried its best to introduce many technologies, talents and
The equipment is enough for China to digest for a while, not to mention there are a lot of Sino-German cooperation projects.
But having said that, if Hu Weidong hadn't asked Mao Zemin and others to return the purchased materials, technical data, and even hired scientific and technological talents to the country as quickly as possible, the losses would have been huge now. Precisely because of the preparations, the U.S. government
Freeze the Red Party’s assets in the United States, that is,
The measures to block Zhongfu International are actually meaningless, and may even outweigh the gains. Because Zhongfu International is now simply insolvent. It is just because the good profit prospects have supported the confidence of investors. Now the U.S. government has issued a letter
, all the problems were exposed.
What's more serious is, after blocking China Fortune International, how can it repay the huge debt it owed? When the U.S. government took action, China Fortune International's net liabilities on its books were about US$500 million, and its total liabilities were as high as
More than 3 billion US dollars (due to the rapid expansion of the company), the asset prices of Zhongfu International increased rapidly after it was blocked by the US government
Depreciation (for a similar situation, you can refer to the auction of a bankrupt enterprise. Under normal circumstances, it can be sold for less than a few bucks at all. It cannot be compared with the value when it is healthy and running.), even if it is sold out, it will be exchanged for hundreds of millions of dollars at most, even if it is sold again.
Coupled with Zhongfu International's limited liquidity, the debt that cannot be repaid is still over US$2.5 billion.
What made Roosevelt vomit blood even more was that those creditors were not ordinary people. They were almost all prominent figures on Wall Street, including many big guys who took both black and white. If they could not be satisfied, Roosevelt would not be able to survive even if he became the President of the United States.
A few days later, he was assassinated by a "madman"...
And if this huge amount of money is allocated by the U.S. government, it will cause additional fiscal deficits, and may even plunge the United States, which has just emerged from the Great Depression, back into the abyss. In addition, because of the blockade of Zhongfu International, many related
As a result, companies have experienced tight cash flow, and some companies have even begun to go bankrupt. If the situation continues to develop, it is likely to cause hundreds of thousands or even more people to lose their jobs. This impact is even greater than the huge debt owed by Zhongfu International itself.
Roosevelt was even more worried...
Roosevelt had no choice but to order the restoration of normal operations of Zhongfu International. However, Mao Zemin required the U.S. government to compensate for the economic losses during the blockade in accordance with U.S. law, totaling 1.16528 billion U.S. dollars. Roosevelt was naturally unwilling to admit the debt. As a result, this figure every time
It jumped up in one day, and it didn't take long for Roosevelt to find that the losses that needed to be compensated were actually greater than the price he had to pay to be tough to the end...
Only then did Roosevelt realize that this was basically a scheme set up by Mao Zemin, who deliberately created such a huge deficit and asked the U.S. government to fill it. However, it is understandable when you think about it. Instead of working hard to pay off the billions of dollars,
Debt, it is better to take the opportunity to throw away this burden. At present, China is prospering with all kinds of waste. Instead of staying in the United States to help foreigners make money, it is better to return to China to build the economy.
Even though Roosevelt had always been well-educated, he couldn't help but feel a little angry now. However, although he was the president of the United States, he could not directly kill Mao Zemin and others to vent his anger like those dictators, because nothing Mao Zemin did violated the laws of the United States.
Even using company funds to purchase supplies domestically is in the name of investing in China, and the United States is a society governed by the rule of law, at least for the upper class.
It is said that although Mao Zemin harmed the interests of the United States and was still a foreigner, he had already squeezed into that circle. If the U.S. government uses the method of suppressing the lower class people to deal with him, it will inevitably break the relationship between money and power.
Balance, directly destroying the foundation of the United States. Every American president who wanted to do this in history died in an unknown manner. Roosevelt did not want to follow suit...
In the end, Mao Zemin and others were deported by the U.S. government on the grounds that they might endanger national security. However, the overseas branches were not disbanded. Some comrades who had hidden their identities took over this heavy responsibility and continued to work for the revolutionary cause of China and the world at their own risk.
And those who work silently are mainly overseas Chinese, but there are also some out-and-out foreigners, many of whom are black and white...
After returning to China, Mao Zemin, who had made outstanding achievements and was an economic expert, was quickly reused. Although Taizu himself opposed it, with the strong support of Zhou Gong, Hu Weidong and others, Mao Zemin was appointed as the first deputy prime minister of the Government Affairs Council.
, concurrently served as the Minister of Finance and was in charge of foreign trade, and made irreplaceable and outstanding contributions to China, which was extremely short of economic talents at the time... (To be continued...)
