Chapter 468: A Threat from Mitsubishi
The matter of Xingguo Metallurgy, with the intensity of these shareholders' investigation of Tongtai Industry, is of course clear. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
After learning about Xingguo Metallurgy, these shareholders immediately felt that the boss of Xingguo Metallurgy was really bold and dared to resist the Japanese.
You must know that in the areas of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, mainly in the southern coastal areas, the influence of the Japanese is still not small.
In particular, when relations between China and Japan were normalized and diplomatic relations were established, the Chinese government gave up war reparations due to various considerations.
The reparations for the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression were first waived by the Kuomintang bigwigs Chang Kaishen with a stroke of his pen, which was the first time that war reparations were abandoned. But later, after the establishment of Xinhuaguo, Chang Kaishen, as an outdated boss, of course his words didn't count, and he had to start over.
When Sino-Japanese relations were normalized, it was the second time that the prime minister at the time proposed to abandon the war and pay forgiveness.
However, this is fundamentally different from the first time.
They are all renunciation of war reparations, so why should it be said that there is a fundamental difference?
Because for the first time, it was Chang Kaishen's practice of slapping a swollen face and becoming fat. As a head of government who was hired as an adviser to the Nationalist Government at that time after the war, Chang Kaishen made such a move, as an important war criminal of the Japanese invasion of China and who had committed a bloody debt to the Chinese people, and Chang Kaishen made such a move.
However, after the founding of the new Chinese country, it was not so simple, and it seemed that it had spent a lot of unjust money and suffered a lot of losses in diplomacy, but it was the best choice made according to the historical environment at that time. At that time, people were not reborn, and they did not have front and back eyes, how could they know that those once friendly countries would become white-eyed wolves later?
At the peak of this kind of foreign policy, the two Arab countries proposed to send China to the United Nations, and it was directly the position of the five major hooligans of the five permanent members of the United Nations, rather than the "one country, two seats" previously envisaged by the United States, that is, the separatist regimes of Xinhua and the Kuomintang occupied the seats in the United Nations at the same time, and the position of the five permanent members was inherited by the Kuomintang.
In this regard, the two Algerians who put forward this proposal, as well as Algeria and Albania, have made great contributions. Although Albania and China later turned against each other, that rebellion was actually due to the ******** conflict between the founding leader and the fact that China changed the national policy of the founding leader, and that the Albanian side did not understand the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and the United States, and that China, as the vanguard of the anti-Soviet Union, took the lead in shaking hands with the Soviet Union, and other factors, and that China stopped providing free aid.
Of course, Albania also has a feeling that it can't help it, relying too much on Chinese aid, and even lying on Chinese aid as a rice worm, and once the aid is stopped, it will turn its face. This is indeed a neglect of the greed aspect of the human heart. However, the credit for sending China to the United Nations is still indelible.
The diplomatic efforts of the two Arab countries to put forward the proposal of allowing Xinhua to return to the United Nations are also indispensable.
Returning to the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Japan, the Chinese government gave up Japan's war reparations, and in return, Japan had to propose government aid to China (ODA), including a large amount of free aid, interest-free loans, low-interest loans, etc.
Historical grievances aside, the aid itself actually helped Japanese companies and products enter the Chinese market and gain a lot of profits and market share in China, which Japan did not suffer.
However, objectively speaking, this aid did help China a lot at that time. At that time, China was in a period of seclusion, and the main industrial, civil, and military technologies were Soviet-style, and Japan's aid helped China open the door to Western technology. From Japan, Huaguo learned a lot of knowledge about technology and management system. The foundation laid on the basis of China's ability to surpass Japan's current economic aggregate surpasses that of Japan, and even more economically makes Japan heavily dependent on trade with China.
Of course, on the other hand, the aid to China also suffered some losses, and the Japanese took the opportunity to steal a lot of secret technology (what rice paper technology, Jingdezhen porcelain technology, and even supercomputer technology that China was not backward at that time, etc.). But to tell the truth, compared to suffering, gaining benefits still occupies the main place.
At the same time, there was an extreme shortage of foreign exchange in China at that time, and in fact, it was not until around 2003 that this shortage of foreign exchange was slowly eased. At that time, the yen, which had been integrated into the Western system, was also a foreign exchange with a fairly high purchasing power, and it was not as weak as it is now. These foreign exchange have also helped Huaguo a lot.
All in all, objectively speaking, this aid can be regarded as a win-win situation for both sides (and in some places, both sides lose).
This assistance was not finally withdrawn until the year before last, in 2008, adding up to nearly three decades.
The focus of this loan is mainly in the southern and coastal areas, so the influence of the Japanese in these areas is far stronger than in the central and eastern regions.
Of course, 30 years ago, China and Japan had a close relationship, even among the people, and they really regarded each other as friendly neighbors separated by a strip of water. That's why in Japan, in the eighties, a military fantasy novel "Minsk Sortie" depicting the alliance between China and Japan against the Soviet Union appeared. The book describes the Soviet Union's invasion of China, and then Japanese civilian volunteers formed a volunteer army to resist the Soviet Union and aid China, with the slogan "Defend our cultural mother". Later, Japan was annexed by the Soviet Union, and the Japanese government-in-exile was established with the support of China, and it lasted until the United States intervened and finally restored the country.
The reflection of the international situation at that time can be said to be quite interesting.
Moreover, at that time, the Chinese people were also quite cordial to Japan. The Chinese government also started with the education of primary school students and continued to the official government level to promote Sino-Japanese friendship in an all-round way. The vast majority of ordinary Chinese people sincerely believe in the slogan of Sino-Japanese friendship. Later Japanese noodles were a lot of foundations laid at this time.
With its ODA to China, a market that is fully open to Japan, and an overall atmosphere of people-friendly relations, it can be said that Japan at that time had a good hand.
However, with such a good hand of cards and such a good foundation, how did Japan turn a good hand of cards into a bad one? How did it turn a country friendly to Japan by the whole people into a country full of anti-Japanese sentiments among the people, and a country friendly to Japan at the official level into a country that warns Japan at every turn to "pull back from the precipice," "vigilance against the resurgence of militarist extremists" at every turn, and makes Japan "sincerely apologize for the sins it has committed in history" at every turn, and at every turn it points a sword at the country that Japan intends to be in the United States?
If you change any country, as long as you don't take the initiative to die, you won't make it so bad, right?
I can't explain it. It can only be said that Japan's national character determines that they do not have the demeanor and bearing of a real great power, still less do they have the mind and pattern of a real great power, and this is the essential defect of their nation.
This is the result of the lack of substance. Lack of background leads to them can persist in adversity and not give up, when the situation is good, they forget what their surname is, as the so-called broad face changes, once the situation is good, it is arrogant.
During World War II, Japan was so arrogant that it took the initiative to attack the United States to seek death, and now Japan is so arrogant that it announced that it was going to buy the United States, but it was smashed on the ground by the United States with a hammer on the head, and even the arrogance of later generations was so arrogant that they wanted to drive out the Trojan invaders alone and dominate the earth with the help of the artifact of the town, which is the embodiment of this national character.
Perhaps this is also a reflection of the mentality of the island nation. In the world, the only island nation that can get rid of the island mentality to a certain extent is the United Kingdom. But Britain can get rid of the island mentality, because it has been an empire for hundreds of years and has habitually developed a global vision. But even so, when the empire fell apart and Britain could only shrink back into the British Isles, the mentality of the island country re-emerged more or less.
This is something that is rooted in the genes of the nation, and it is deeply ingrained and cannot be changed.
This is why, with the development of China, Japan is no longer regarded as the greatest threat -- because of the mentality of an island country, it cannot bear the weight of a great enemy. The only countries that can be regarded as a great enemy by China and a strategic rival related to life and death are the continental Soviet Union (Russia, which has now declined, no longer has the hegemony of the Soviet Union and is no longer qualified for this) and the United States, which has both continental and maritime capabilities.
Huaguo's goal has always been the world's first. (The Soviet Union in the sixties and seventies was in a period of strategic offensive, when the Soviet Union was the first power.) At that time, the United States had contracted strategically, otherwise it would not have co-opted China to fight against the Soviet Union. The normalization of Sino-American relations, and even the brief honeymoon period between China and the West in the future, emerged precisely out of such strategic considerations. )
This is Huaguo. Just because of her, she was born to reign in the world!
But in any case, Japan, which held a good card before, although it broke the good card, but the so-called rotten ship still has three catties of nails, and Japan is getting worse and worse, which is the overall situation and the national level. In the people, to ordinary businessmen in China, it is still a formidable behemoth.
As the Mitsubishi Foundation, which has a pivotal position in Japan, it naturally has a considerable presence in China.
And most of these shareholders are people from Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and in the face of the Japanese and the Mitsubishi Foundation, they are often afraid of themselves first.
After all, they all experienced the peak period of Japan after World War II, and the terrible image of Japan at that time is still imprinted in their minds, but it is not a new generation like Yang Chen who doesn't care about Japan at all.
The impression of the new generation of Japan is that the industry is developed, or the anime is good-looking, but they once deeply felt the rampant claim that they could wipe out the Chinese Navy in three hours (what is even more terrifying is that they were really able to do it at that time). Of course, it will definitely not work now), and I have deeply felt the status of the superior man that Japan once had in China, and I have deeply felt that Japan once dared to argue with the Americans, saying that it would buy the domineering power of the United States.
The courage of this Xingguo Metallurgy, one of these shareholders is counted as one, and it is completely impossible to have. And to cooperate with Xingguo Metallurgy, they naturally hesitated.
"What are you hesitating about?" the shareholder who first proposed this plan shouted: "As long as we take the train of Tongtai Industrial, what are we afraid of the Japanese?"
"Not afraid, easy to say......" People talked a lot, and they were all deeply worried.
"Wait, Lao Guan, weren't you the most opposed to strategic cooperation with Tongtai Industrial?" Someone suddenly exposed the true face of the proposer.
