The internal contradictions of the Zhejiang West Branch of the Restoration Society forced Xu Xilin to ask to see Chen Ke again, but he was closed. The staff told Xu Xilin that Chen Ke had not had time recently. While apologizing, the staff told Xu Xilin that he would tell Chen Ke about Xu Xilin's request to see him. If Chen Ke finds time, he will be notified immediately. In the meantime, please wait patiently.

This kind of pomp made Xu Xilin very annoyed, and Chen Ke didn't have this majesty when he asked to see Xu Xilin. At that time, if Qiu Jin hadn't been willing to buy Chen Ke's watch, Chen Ke would have had a problem with even eating money. But when he was under the roof, Xu Xilin had no choice but to admit it.

While Xu Xilin was sulking, Chen Ke was negotiating with the US representative on the loan issue. The United States is willing to lend, and Chen Ke is willing to borrow. This resulted in an agreement of intent. Turning this intention into actionable content will require more painstaking and meticulous negotiations. On the BJP side, Chen Ke led the team first, and on the American side, a middle-aged man named Samuel 61 Bush took over the negotiations.

Samuel 61 Bush has a strong background, being both the owner of a steel company and a member of the Walkefeller consortium. In the negotiation of specific matters, Samuel 61 Bush showed the characteristics of shrewdness, ability, and clear thinking.

The BJP's imports are mainly from steel mills, which happens to be Samuel '61 Bush's strong point. In his account, he recalled his impression of Chen Ke.

"Chen Ke, the chairman of the People's Party, is a young man, and even as a politician, he still has a deep understanding of the steel industry. In some ways, Chen Ke is more like a cautious and clever tycoon. He doesn't explicitly agree or disagree with anything, but rather cares about the key details. I followed his train of thought and found that the leader was very concerned about how to get the equipment as quickly as possible and get it up and running. That's my forte. When he cautiously agreed with me, the conversation turned to the repayment of the loan. Like those businessmen with good credibility and good conduct, Chairman Chen Ke never brags about himself or the BJP regime without any reason. On the contrary, he has a concern about paying on time and is trying to find a way to be credible to both parties. That's when I put forward my own opinion. ”

Chen Ke frowned slightly after listening to Samuel 61 Bush's question, Americans don't like the British. In the first two decades of the twentieth century, the only country that the United States wanted to kill was Britain. So when it comes to repaying loans, Samuel 61 Bush said, "We don't like the British and their henchmen. That's something to think about.

After a few turns in his mind, Chen Kecai asked, "I wonder what Washington thinks of Japan's relationship with Britain?" ”

Samuel 61 Bush did not answer directly, and cleverly changed the topic to another question, "As far as I know, your raw silk has a very good reputation in the American market in terms of quality and supply. If the raw silk trade is used as security, there is a reliable guarantee of loan repayment. ”

"Can Washington regulate the import of raw silk from which country?" Chen Ke is not too confident in this.

"If Congress can pass it." Samuel 61 Bush gave the answer.

The whole road map is not complicated, and the Americans are hostile to the British and disgusted with the British lackeys. As Britain's lackey in Asia, Japan naturally did not want to be welcomed by the Americans. Britain is trying to block U.S. trade in China, and the People's Party is the largest U.S. trade partner in China. Samuel 61 Bush hinted to Chen that the U.S. Congress is likely to pass a resolution in favor of China on the raw silk trade.

There is no room for compromise until China and Japan decide on the leadership of East Asia and Asia, and Chen Ke firmly believes this. Raw silk is Japan's most important export material at present, and the United States is the largest market for raw silk, so it is naturally best to hit Japan. However, Chen Ke does not believe that the US Congress has such capabilities. But either way, it's worth a try. Chen Ke asked: "There should be some key parliamentarians on these matters to push for this." What should I do to get these MPs to support this type of resolution? ”

"If you can sign an oil trade deal with us, there will be a significant number of lawmakers who support this kind of resolution." Samuel 61 Bush answered Chen Ke's question.

"I agree in principle with this trade deal." Chen Ke gave Samuel 61 Bush a positive answer.

When the meeting was adjourned, You Yu was very puzzled by this inexplicable suggestion. She asked: "Why did you start from paying off debts, switch to the raw silk trade, and after a big circle, it actually fell to oil?" Why are Yankees so troublesome? ”

Chen Ke had to explain: "At the moment in the Asian market, the British Asia Oil Company dominates. The United States is now the world's largest oil producer, but the London Stock Exchange has a monopoly on oil pricing. Samuel 61 Bush's proposal is to tell the US Congress that China's huge market will be open to US oil companies. Since the oil between China and the United States is denominated in US dollars, it is equivalent to breaking through the British monopoly. ”

You Wei still hasn't figured out this problem, but Wang Bin basically understands it. He asked, "Is this Yankee credible?" ”

"In international trade, don't mention trusting such hurtful words." Chen Ke replied.

Hearing this answer, Wang Bin laughed dryly a few times, he just wanted to be very subtle and objected to Chen Ke's agreement to reach an oil contract with the United States so easily, but he didn't expect it to be too subtle, and even Chen Ke didn't notice it at all. Looking at it now, Chen Ke is afraid that he has long had hopes for this kind of contract, but the United States does not mention it, and Chen Ke will not take the initiative to ask for this kind of business.

This did not happen once or twice, and the comrades never understood how Chen Ke could have judged in advance that certain deals would be really useful to the BJP. Facts have proved that no matter how dangerous it looks in the early stage, Chen Ke can always grasp the most beneficial deal for the People's Party. No matter whether the foreign devil is clever or coercive and tempting, Chen Ke is always unmoved, and unswervingly chooses the cooperation project according to the judgment he has made a long time ago. This ability to sit firmly on the Diaoyutai and wait for the fish to be hooked, Wang Bin really admires.

"Comrade Wang Bin, do you think you can take over the negotiations later?" Chen Ke asked.

"Or wait for the foreign devils to send them to the door by themselves, don't we force the negotiation idea?" This line of thinking is almost the BJP's negotiating model.

"That's right." Chen Ke replied. He felt that this era was too lucky, and the British were the first to realize the side effects of trade, so they had an arms embargo. However, the technical barriers in these years were far less strict than those in later generations, and Chen Kelian's bluffing and deception made the foreign devils think that the People's Party also had enough technical capabilities. So far, there are many foreign merchants who recommend various products to the BJP. Chen Ke only needs to screen the merchants who deliver to his door according to the technology and economic development routes he has seen in the downstream of history. That's a lot of effort. However, there are advantages and disadvantages, and this kind of judgment is precisely what Chen Ke could not teach his comrades, and he could not even come up with a reasonable explanation that could be completely justified. If you force an explanation, I'm afraid that you won't be able to explain it yet. So at this stage, Chen Ke can only not explain.

At the same time as Wang Bin's negotiations, the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense and the Central Military Commission held a joint meeting to discuss the integration of industrial departments and the formulation of wartime control plans. Three days later, when the first draft of the unified outline was released, Wang Bin and Samuel 61 Bush also agreed on a general idea of borrowing.

It's a package. The United States lent Chen Ke $200 million, and Chen Ke paid the United States 15% of the gold price at the time of the contract. Others are pledged by the raw silk trade. Samuel 61 Bush can help Chen Ke contact some manufacturers and provide Chen Ke with machinery and equipment at a preferential price. At the same time, the BJP entered into a long-term oil supply contract with the United States. The trade of this contract is not covered by this loan. The parties will negotiate separately. And the BJP will also ensure that for three years this loan, as well as any trade proceeds between the BJP and the United States, will be denominated in dollars only. The BJP cannot exchange dollars for gold.

If it were other countries, the Americans would have made a lot of money on this deal. At the current gold standard, not being able to exchange dollars for gold is equivalent to losing a considerable part of the value of the currency. Fortunately, Chen Ke didn't care about this, and the comrades of the People's Party did not understand the gold standard deeply enough. Even though the comrades of the Central Committee felt uncomfortable, they adopted this agreement.

Seeing off the US representatives, Chen Ke finally had time to meet Xu Xilin. Xu Xilin no longer concealed it this time, and directly asked Chen Ke how to bridge the internal contradictions of the Zhejiang West Branch of the Guangfu Society.

In the history that Chen Ke has seen, there are many political parties or individuals who have tried to bridge the class contradictions and take the third way, but Chen Ke has not seen any successful cases of the so-called third way. No matter how wonderful the concept may seem, it can't compete with the reality that distribution is a zero-sum game. Faced with Xu Xilin's distress, Chen Ke even felt some sympathy. He patiently explained to Xu Xilin for a long time, but Xu Xilin still stubbornly thought that as long as they took a step back, they could open the sky.

"What are you going to say to me, Brother Bosun? Let's put it bluntly. Chen Ke abruptly interrupted the persuasion education and asked bluntly.

During the conversation, Chen Ke realized that he was too naïve, and that all the political forces in history who tried to take the third route had one thing in common, and none of them really wanted to solve the problem by their own strength. Whether they follow the capitalist line or the socialist line, as long as the line is pure, they all rely on drinking their own blood to solve the problem. Those who follow the third path are either rich in natural resources or have external assistance. The natural resources of western Zhejiang can only be described as starving and not dying at best. Since Xu Xilin is not leaving the base area, the biggest possibility is that Xu Xilin hopes to get the support of the People's Party.

Chen Ke was so direct, Xu Xilin was a little embarrassed, he hesitated for a while, and finally mustered up the courage to say: "Wenqing, I want to borrow a million taels of silver from you." ”

"And then?" Chen Ke asked.

Xu Xilin was stunned, "Then?" If we have money in the future, we will definitely pay it back. ”

Chen Ke didn't answer immediately, he was disappointed. The Xinhai Revolution was at this level, and even the Guangfu Society, which was relatively radical in the revolutionary party at the end of the Qing Dynasty, has now shown its true colors. Leaving these people to solve problems on their own is beyond their means. There is no way to do this, these revolutionaries were born in the Manchu era, and they have never seen the hardships and hardships of the party in history, let alone received a modern education like Chen Ke. In the face of the cruel reality, he has not tossed the people like the Kuomintang until now, at least the Zhejiang West Branch of the Liberation Society has done its best.

But to Chen Ke's own surprise, even if he agreed with Xu Xilin's personal character, Chen Ke did not have the slightest intention of "lending" money to Xu Xilin. No matter what kind of mentality the Zhejiang West Branch of the Liberation Society has, judging from their current performance, these guys have no future. It's no longer about "borrowing money", it's about giving money. I sent money to Xu Xilin this time, what should I do next time? Can't you continue to send it?

As the old saying goes, the liter of the rice is the enemy of the rice. The mentality of people is so strange, since the Liberation Society knows that it will definitely not be able to repay the People's Party's money, I am afraid that they will not even have the attitude of at least forgetting about it. They will feel that the BJP has a lot of money and that it is right to lend money to the Liberation Society. If the People's Party does not borrow it, the Liberation Party is afraid that it will think that the People's Party is "not benevolent for the rich."

Maybe Xu Xilin and Qiu Jin's personal morality is indeed very good, but just like what Chen Ke said to Wang Bin a few days ago, "Don't mention trusting such hurtful words", the reason why the old saying is an old saying is because the old saying has been proven countless times. There is no reason for Chen Ke to use the hard-earned money of the people in the base area to verify whether the old saying is really reasonable.

Just as he was about to refuse outright, Chen Ke thought about it and felt that he couldn't do it. Historically, the party was very methodical in doing things, and when its brains were hot, it would scold people away, and the party would certainly not do so. Thinking of this, Chen Ke said seriously: "Brother Bosun, all decisions of our People's Party must be discussed through the party committee meeting, and I can't make the decision on this matter alone. In this way, I will raise the matter with the Party committee at the Party meeting, and I will do what is the result of the discussion at the Party meeting. ”

"Wen Qing, you are full of words in the People's Party, why do you think of the party committee in this matter?" Xu Xilin sneered.

Chen Ke didn't bother to say so much, he simply replied: "The People's Party is indeed initiated by me, and I also took the lead in formulating the Party Constitution, which has to be discussed by the Party Committee. So I have to follow the rules I have set. ”

As soon as the Party Central Committee heard Xu Xilin's request for 1 million taels of silver, everyone had a rather unkind expression on their faces. Fortunately, Chen Ke had a conversation with Hua Xiongmao before the meeting, so when the comrades' eyes were focused on Hua Xiongmao's face, he was able to remain calm.

"Absolutely not." Lu Huitian immediately expressed his position.

"If you don't give a penny, it is equivalent to tearing your face with the Zhejiang West Branch of the Liberation Society. Let's not get enemies on all sides. Zhang Yu is supportive.

"According to Chairman Chen, the Zhejiang West Branch of the Liberation Society is actually trying to bridge the class contradictions, which is too imaginative, right?" You Yu smiled.

"I think that compared with other forces, our People's Party is really imaginative in unswervingly following the line of class struggle. This is an unprecedented revolutionary road. Hua Xiongmao smiled bitterly.

"What then? Let's give a little or nothing. Chen Ke asked.

"Twenty thousand silver dollars at most, that's my bottom line. If I exceed that, I will vote no. Lu Huitian said unceremoniously.

"Fifteen thousand, then." Zhang Yu opened his mouth.

No one objected to the figure proposed by Zhang Yu, and Chen Ke thought that the proposal would be passed. But he saw You Wei raise his hand and ask to speak. After getting the agreement, You Wei said: "Send the money and let Comrade Hua Xiongmao go, there is no need to let Chairman Chen come forward." ”

Everyone at the meeting felt that this suggestion was good, and since Xu Xilin believed that the People's Party should be close to the Zhejiang branch of the Liberation Society, the most suitable candidate to send money would be Hua Xiongmao. Everyone looked at Hua Xiongmao, waiting for him to speak.

"I'll go, and I'll tell him if he's going to make an example." Hua Xiongmao looked at everyone and said seriously.

You Wei waved his hand, "Comrade Hua Xiongmao, you don't have to say anything. Mr. Xu and Sister Qiu are both smart people, and if you send the money over in person, they will naturally know what's going on. ”

"I think what Comrade You Yu said is very right, just send the money. If you feel that you can't get over your face, don't say a word. Anyway, Shengmi en's fight against Mi, this money is given to them, just wait for them to hold a grudge against us. Zhang Yu was completely open.

Seeing Hua Xiongmao's helpless expression, Zhang Yu turned to Chen Ke, "Chairman Chen, this is the end of the group of revolutionary parties you just mentioned?" ”

Chen Ke replied: "If the international environment gives them time, they may still have a chance to develop slowly. Now that the international environment has not left time for China, if we want to save China, we must rely on the people's revolution to sweep away all the ghosts and ghosts. Those who fail to keep up with the situation are doomed to have no future, and those who hinder the revolution are doomed to end up with the mantis arm as a car. We, the People's Party, as the vanguard of the broad masses of working people's parties, do not need to take into account their ideas. ”

"Then let me ask another question, which side does Chairman Chen think these forces will stand on in the future war between us and Beiyang?" Zhang Yu asked.

"So this time, we decided to support the Restoration Society. As for how the Liberation Society chooses itself, that's their business. It's going to rain, and my mother is going to get married. Let him be. Chen Ke gave a final reply to this question.

Seeing that the comrades nodded yes one after another, Chen Ke changed the subject, "There are many Japanese comrades in our party, but in the past, we didn't attach much importance to the views of the Japanese comrades on the Japanese revolution. However, the overwhelming majority of these Japanese comrades hoped that through the completion of the Chinese revolution, the revolution would be advanced into Japan and the revolution in Japan itself. I would like to gather the Japanese comrades in the near future and see what their intentions are. It is also possible to unify our thinking on this matter, because after all, the Japanese problem still needs to be resolved in the future. This future is not even too far away. ”

"Why?" Lu Huitian asked.

Chen Ke repeated the suggestion of US Representative Samuel Bush in 61 July: "Japan's current economic situation is very bad, and if the export of raw silk suffers another blow, it is difficult to guarantee that Japan will not take risks and do something. After all, if we start a war with Japan, we will inflict heavy losses on Japan at most. We don't have a navy, so we can't attack the Japanese mainland. If the war is over, the vitality of the Japanese ruling class will be greatly damaged. They are bound to oppress the Japanese people even more fiercely. This must be understood clearly by the Japanese comrades. After all, it is the state of parents, and after all, it is the compatriots of these Japanese comrades who suffer. I hope that the Japanese comrades in the party will be able to figure out in advance whether they will put the interests of Japan first or the interests of the People's Party in liberating the whole of China. ”

"Is this a loyalty review?" You asked him.

"No, no, no," Chen Ke hurriedly objected to such questioning statements, "These Japanese comrades have always been very loyal to the People's Party. The key lies in the fact that these Japanese comrades have morality and sentiments, and they are bound to be loyal to the Japanese people. In a situation where you can't have both, everyone will have psychological pain and struggle. I think the sooner you are prepared, the better. ”

The proposal was also adopted.

Chen Ke did have this plan for a long time, and secondly, the appearance of Miyazaki, a Japanese comrade, also made Chen Ke interested, and since he had obtained the consent of the party committee, everyone was busy with their own work. Hua Xiongmao went to deliver the money, and Chen Ke ordered someone to invite Miyazaki to the office.

Miyazaki is not tall, if he is tall enough and has that beard, it is very similar to the image of Lu Zhishen in Chen Ke's mind. He was already in his early forties at this time, and quietly listened to Chen Ke's blunt inquiry, and Miyazaki said loudly: "Chairman Chen, I set my ambition when I was 17 years old. The current world is a battlefield of the jungle. The strong are becoming more violent, and the rights and freedoms of the weak are being lost day by day. If there are people who value human rights and respect freedom, they must quickly devise a way to restore them. If we do not prevent it now, the yellow race will always be oppressed by the white race. And this turning point in fate is really related to the rise and fall of China. So I decided to go deep into China myself, visit the heroes, and persuade them to work together to achieve great things. If you find a hero who governs the world, you will follow the work of dogs and horses, otherwise, you will stand up and recruit heroes to lay the foundation of heaven's will and the right path. If China is revived and the righteousness of the world is declared, then India can prosper, Siam and Annam can rise up, and the Philippines and Egypt can be saved. The widespread restoration of human rights and the establishment of a new era on earth. ”

Chen Ke was really shocked when he heard Miyazaki's monstrous words. This 42-year-old Japanese middle-aged uncle had this plan 25 years ago. Regardless of his ability, this insight alone is very extraordinary. Thinking of this, Chen Ke's tone became a lot more solemn, "Comrade Miyazaki, if China and Japan go to war, the life of the Japanese people after the war will be even more difficult. What would you think? You know, the Japanese people have a really strong spirit of patience. Many of the measures taken by the Japanese ruling class have long been put into China, and this has long been a situation where flames are everywhere. Moreover, before China and Japan decide who will dominate the situation in East Asia, the Japanese people will suffer even more. As a Chinese, I can certainly push this issue to the Japanese government and the Japanese people. It can be said with a clear conscience that this is the problem of the enemy country, and naturally the enemy country must solve it by itself. But I can't ask the Japanese comrades to think so. I don't know what Comrade Miyazaki thinks about this. ”

Miyazaki looked at Chen Ke seriously, and said after a long time: "Chairman Chen, you are a big hero I have never seen. After coming into contact with the People's Revolution, I was finally convinced that it was unlikely that the Japanese Revolution would break out from within. It is necessary to intervene in Japan with strong external forces, and even to conquer Japan militarily. Therefore, until China completely dominates the situation in East Asia and completely overthrows the reactionary government of Japan, I will naturally be completely loyal to the Chinese revolution promoted by the People's Party. However, I would like to know what kind of new world you want to build after you led the People's Party to victory in the Chinese revolution and dominated the situation in Japan. What kind of relationship will China and Japan and other countries have in your future new order? I would like to ask you to tell me clearly. ”
