Although the newspapers controlled by the Communist Party jumped up and down, the newspapers of the official system in Guangzhou were silent, because they knew that this condition was discussed between the president and Zhang Zuolin, and rash opposition would cause the president to be unhappy.

Although the contract for the SEZ has been signed and the money is being recorded in batches, the Guangzhou government is still sincerely preparing for economic development, and it is not enough to use more than 200 square kilometers of land to take away the more than 10 million units of the United Group -- if it is necessary to introduce foreign capital, the United Group is a model, and if even such a powerful strength of the United Group cannot be mixed up in Guangzhou, then other countries should not try it. Now it seems that the thinking of the Canton government is still very clear, and even the Comintern thinks that it is feasible - China is a feudal country, and the development of capitalism is a matter of course, and socialism must have a certain foundation before it can happen, right?

However, the southern government did not speak, and several other concession countries in the north were anxious, invoking the regulations one after another, and their hopes were also expanded, and the article "most-favored-nation treatment" was also moved. Of course, Zhang Zuolin didn't dare to offend anyone, and he said all of them were good, but there was one thing he insisted on: since it was the most favored nation treatment, then everyone should refer to the terms of Italy, and the existing concession and the newly expanded concession will be returned after 30 years, the assets will belong to the Chinese government, and the expansion of the concession will have to pay taxes......

This, in turn, will bring the countries together: the countries only want to expand but do not want to return in advance, but there is such a clause in Italy's clause, and everyone feels very uncomfortable, so they can only complain that the Italians do not pay attention to international rules and destroy the tacit understanding.

In fact, Mussolini in Italy is also very happy about the news that Contini will return after 30 years, and he is very happy with the news that Contini has expanded the concession by 8 times, thinking that it shows the strength of Italy and can finally be on an equal footing with Britain and France, but after 30 years, it is still not too tolerant, at least it should be 60 years......

Contini could only laugh at this: None of the Chinese concessions in history could drag on past 1946, so let alone 30 or 20 years, it is natural to expand it first. However, this kind of divine chatter could not be said to Mussolini, so he changed his tone: "...... Leader, it is still a tacit understanding between me and the Chinese side to return in advance after 30 years, which will help the Supreme Ruling Mr. to eliminate internal pressure and interference, and also make other countries have nothing to say, in fact, the return after 30 years is just that we have returned the current small piece of land, and we will use another 30 years for the newly obtained...... Taking 10,000 steps back, if Italy is thriving and becomes a real world power, I don't think it will be particularly difficult to ask China to extend the lease after 30 years. ”

This sentence was very much to Mussolini's appetite, so he agreed with a stroke of the pen, and said that it was enough for Contini to sign the treaty.

As for the construction of a high-speed railway from Tianjin to Beijing, this is an internal affair of the Chinese government, and foreigners have no right to interfere, but because there is already a Bac Ninh railway (formerly Jingfeng Railway) between Tianjin and Beijing at this time, it has been strongly protested by the British, thinking that it is "repeated construction and intensified competition", and finally Zhang Dashuai pushed the boat down the river and said that it would be temporarily shelved, in fact, this railway was added separately by Zhang Dashuai at the suggestion of Yuan Jinkai, and there was no good communication with the United Group at all, and Contini did not think that there was a need to build a high-speed railway. The speed of the Bac Ninh railway is now 40 km/h, and there is no problem if the management is strengthened and the vehicles are improved to 55 km/h, and it really does not make much sense to build an 80 km/h fast railway.

But this railway has attracted a lot of firepower, so that there are not many people attacking the concession, and Zhang Dashuai is very happy after the successful completion, and now he has mastered the knack of political struggle - the first must be able to bluff, the second must be flexible, and the third must be restrained left and right.

When both the north and the south were still in turmoil, Contini was in Shanghai to discuss cooperation with Sun Chuanfang and Sun Dashuai. Sun Dashuai is a real person, using the two big news in the north and south to quietly complete the matter of the joint wharf, not even a splash, in addition to the land, he also wants to pour a little thing from the president's hands to achieve development, the rich factory Sun Dashuai is not interested for the time being, he wants to become stronger goods - Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau was bombed by Shen Honglie, he decided to rebuild, the cannon can not be made, but be sure to get guns and ammunition, it just so happens that the president has received 4 rifle factories in Italy in one go, and there is a surplus production line to shoot, A portion of Carcano's shares were also in the hands of United Defense, and now they were happily producing the Model 1926 rifle – the War Department only needed this, and if it didn't produce it, it would have nothing to eat, and its old-fashioned production line would have to be sold.

Therefore, the two sides quickly negotiated that Italy would export two 5mm Carcano rifle production lines and some ammunition production equipment, which could be equipped with 30,000 guns and 10 million rounds of various ammunition a year. In addition, a bunch of scrap steel deals were also negotiated, Sun Dashuai is also a fashionable person, very interested in tractors, and even more interested in the motorcycles that Contini unveiled on the beach in Shanghai, Contini laughed, and casually took out 24 tractors and 12 motorcycles from the boat and handed them to Sun Dashuai, so happy that he nodded again and again. Now he finally understood why the president had to bring so many warships to a country, and his feelings were all delivered on the spot with the goods. This is better, even smuggling is exempted, and foreign warships deliver directly to the door.

Contini didn't return empty-handed with the ship, and the empty scrap steel warehouse was just used to pile up tungsten sand and other things - and when he returned home, he turned into fine machine steel and military steel and sold back. In addition to military and land, the two sides also negotiated other commercial cooperation. Contini decided to open a Chinese branch of the Union Bank in Shanghai, and at the same time planned to build a supermarket to introduce Italian fashion brands and industrial civilization to China, and also planned to build a new large oil depot to sell North African oil products to China.

In a commentator's article published in the "Declaration" later, he said: "The Italian merchants, without the cunning of the British merchants, the arrogance of the Chinese merchants, the arrogance of the Japanese merchants, and the philistines of the American merchants, the products they exported met the market demand and the needs of China, positioned themselves in the middle class, the prices were fair, and the taste was good, which was quite popular with the citizens of Shanghai......

At that time, living in the United Community, riding a United motorcycle or riding an Admiral or Fiat car, listening to the United Radio, going to the United Cinema to watch Italian movies, and going to the United Mall to buy European goods are all a trend, men and women are fascinated by Italian style and romance, especially the president and Miss Ada's wedding ceremony The movie was screened in Shanghai Beach for 24 consecutive shows, all of which were admired, and the scenes in the play were infinite - unique in the world!

In addition, United Express (fast railway), United Water Pipe (PVC pipe), United Thermal Oil (United Petrochemical), United Pharmaceutical, etc. have all been marketed in China for many years and have been widely praised......"

This is only a superficial emotional understanding, in fact, the experts have studied much more deeply, they have concluded that since 1927, Italy's export of products to China has been rising with a blowout momentum, even if you do not count the special commodity of scrap steel, the trade volume between China and Italy has increased by more than 20 times in 10 years, and at first Italy's trade with China was only a pitiful 9%, ranking at the bottom of the major powers, and even Belgium and other countries are not as good, and after 10 years it increased to 6%, leaving France and Germany behind, and the share is second only to Britain in fourth place - The first three are the United States, Japan, and the United Kingdom, and if you count scrap steel and other munitions, Italy's share of trade with China can reach more than 7%, surpassing Britain to jump to third place, and it is quite close to Japan, which has a share of 4%. Of course, the United States still dominates the market with more than one-third of the share, and the question is what is the size of the United States and what is the size of Italy?

Under the influence of this wave, the Italian Army, which continues to export scrap steel, is also rapidly changing its equipment, and at first let the Carcano company produce the 1926 rifle was not happy, and it was reserved, but later it cried and shouted, because they found that the army was not updating in hundreds or hundreds, but thousands or even tens of thousands of places in the update, and no one would buy the accessories of the old rifles if they didn't seize the opportunity. As for the 92mm semi-automatic rifle that Contini had high hopes for, after Garland's continuous improvement, a new model was submitted for verification, and it was optimistically expected to be installed in 1930, and the name was also thought of - the 1930 type of combined rifle.

Now all rifle companies in Italy are producing at full capacity, and even German Mauser and other arsenals are also producing at full capacity to supply Italy's needs, compared to the Weimar Wehrmacht's refitting speed is very slow, it's not that they don't know that the new rifle is easy to use, it's that the Weimar Wehrmacht is short of money, and the price difference between the old and new rifles is so big, Italy has a joint group to fill the War Department, who is Germany looking to fill it? Naturally, no money is absolutely impossible, so Germany can only find a way to dump the surplus old G98 and other old guns to the Italians to deal with and go to the Far East, and then exchange money for new equipment.

This made the whole of the Wehrmacht unhappy with the Weimar government, in their words: all German officers, what kind of life did their colleagues in the oil guards live? New guns, new guns, new tanks, new planes, and even new submarines and new warships, and there are still wars with salaries that are a lot higher, and even dare to carry them hard in Algeria and the French. Beaten to the ground in Munich with a homemade weapon!

While the German Army was roaming Europe, Italy didn't know where it was. At present, Germany's economy and science and technology are still much more developed than Italy, and to the point of such embarrassment, this is a system problem! I can't live this day! Even if the president is Hindenburg, it's not easy to make!
