In particular, the trade issue between the two sides was the place where China and the United States had the most friction in the past.

However, the United States intends to revive the "Zhu-Xinlan Agreement", and there must be a motive for it.

During the negotiations between the two sides, the Chinese empire quickly figured out the motives of the United States.

The United States intends to restore the "Zhu Xinlan Agreement" to a certain extent in order to promote a ceasefire in the civil war between the Soviet Union and Russia, and at the same time to reach a line with China on the South American issue.

Moreover, the new tariffs proposed by the US political axe, although lower than the current one, are a cut above the original agreement.

"Humph! Yankee, is this sending Hanako? Zhu Xiaocheng was very dissatisfied and suspended the negotiations on the same day, on the grounds that the United States did not have any sincerity.

Diplomatically, China has always been a more emotional country.

The United States has been taught before.

However, it was a negotiation with Yumoto at that time.

At that time, the relationship between China and the United States was still very good, and China was a useful pawn for the United States at that time, and the United States supported the political axe in East China in order to counter the capital.

It's just that the situation has changed, and the United States has always wanted to play a balance, but China has broken this balance, and the United States has tried to suppress China and let the people come up to re-complete this balance, and as a result, the contradictions have intensified.

At this time, the United States once again appreciated this kind of emotional diplomacy of China, and it was immediately depressed.

Politics itself is a very shameless thing, especially in diplomatic negotiations, which is actually a mutual compromise between the rulers of both sides to maintain their own ruling interests.

The ruler of China is not a qualified ruler, and it is inevitable that his emotions fluctuate greatly.

The U.S. political axe had no choice but to settle the standard and continue to lower tariffs to restart negotiations.

"To stop the civil war between Soviet Russia and the United States is not a matter that can be decided by China and the United States, and it must be decided by negotiations between the two countries." The Chinese Empire gave another reason for refusal.

For the Chinese empire at this time, it was no longer very attractive for American exports.

There are advantages to exporting goods to the United States, which can expand the scale of one's own industrial production and hit the scale of industrial production in the United States.

At the same time, you can earn gold.

If it was before the First World War, when China did not have much gold, it would naturally be very attractive.

But now the Asian dollar has been able to compete with the dollar.

Since the nationalization of gold in China, gold reserves have been very stable, and with the mining of gold and the existence of some trade deficits, gold reserves are still rising.

First of all, in terms of cracking down on the industrial development of the United States, exporting goods to the United States is not of much significance in terms of the current level of vigilance of the United States.

As for gold, it is no longer attractive to China at this time.

After all, his gold reserves are steadily rising, and he has already made the Asian dollar the top of the world, so there is no need for so much gold.

And gold is just a bunch of things that cannot be eaten, in fact gold does not represent wealth.

War can plunder gold, and it doesn't have to be trade.

In the future, as long as the Yankees can be defeated, gold will still be afraid.

It is naturally impossible to agree to a ceasefire between the Soviet Union and Russia as a precondition, and the Soviet Union is a very good target for military training in the Chinese Empire at present.

Of course, if the United States is willing to reduce tariffs to a certain level, then the temptation to China is still very great, for example, the tariffs on light industrial goods and agricultural products are relatively attractive.

At present, China has not yet achieved world hegemony, so it is not just to use whatever rules it wants, so it is no longer very attractive to export or anything if it is not beneficial to China.

Now that China has received 7,000 tons of gold from Russia, the waist pole has straightened up in one fell swoop. At the same time, with the Sino-Russian coalition already attacking Europe, Russia's main gold producing areas are controlled by China.

Coupled with the constant prospecting and mining of the gold forces currently established by the Chinese Empire, gold reserves have begun to rise steadily.

The USSR was miserable, the gold that Nicholas II had in Russia was gone, which led to a chaotic economy in the USSR, and although the USSR was a [***] country, it did not mean that the gold standard was not needed.

It is good that the United States strongly supported the Soviet Union, otherwise the Soviet Union would have died.

However, for the United States, the Soviet Union was indeed a very heavy burden, and it is understandable that it was eager to make a truce between Soviet Russia and Russia.

But how can China allow the United States to do what it wants?

In the world at this time, China and the United States are mortal enemies.

The war against the Soviet Union, although the Chinese Empire needed to come up with a sum of money every year for military spending, was practically irrelevant.

To a certain extent, China is also printing more money, and military spending is tantamount to apportioning the heads of the people, and wars are still fought, construction is still carried out, and stamps are still printed, and the people's livelihood is still the same.

Moreover, the war has led to employment and the operation of the military industry.

No matter how prosperous it is now, the ultimate goal is to strengthen the war potential, which is also the clearest goal of the Chinese Empire at present.

In the current era, it is difficult to say that development revolves around people. 70% of the development of the Chinese Empire revolves around people, but nearly 30% of the development revolves around people.

Development revolves around people, which is equivalent to enjoying happiness.

When people revolve around development, they are solving some kind of problem.

The problem with China is that it does not have a hegemonic position.

For thousands of years, China has been the kingdom of the Celestial Empire, and the descendants of China have once again stood at the top of the world, and there is nothing wrong with this pursuit.

As long as the United States is solved, it is really time to enjoy happiness, and now we will start to enjoy happiness, after all, it is only an illusion, and it will not last long.

…… In 1921, the economy of the Chinese Empire grew further inland.

With the improvement of transportation conditions in the interior and the migration of heavy industry to the interior, the deformed state of economic development distribution in the Chinese Empire was greatly improved.

The metallurgical industry began to migrate inland on a large scale, including Hunan, Sichuan, Hebei, Shaanxi, Monan, and Northeast China.

In previous years, metallurgy was mainly distributed in the coast, and only Shanxi and Hubei were inland, but Hubei had no advantages, after all, metallurgy needed to be close to the origin of raw materials.

The reason why coastal metallurgy can develop is mainly the import of ore, and overseas ore is transported by ship, so the transportation cost is low, and it is convenient to export to the outside world.

At the same time, in Mobei Province and Far East Province, large-scale construction of mine roads has also begun.

In addition to domestic mines, many mines in other countries are also under construction.

For example, the mines in Vietnam, the mines in North Korea, the North Korean Maoshan Iron Mine is a very rich iron ore area, and it is an open-pit mine, which can be directly dug into a large round pit with an excavator. This mining method is the first of its kind in China and is very efficient.

Many mines are also under construction in Russia, especially in the Kazakhstan region.

As the territory of the Chinese Empire expanded to its current state, it was no longer sensitive to resources, because the resources within its territory were so rich that people were piled up.

There are also Korea, Cochin, Russia, and mainly Russia, and the minerals of these countries are all controlled by the Chinese Empire, which is equivalent to the Chinese Empire.

The Chinese Empire has such abundant resources, so it is natural to exploit them, and it is not a very wise behavior to blindly exploit overseas resources.

The consumption of other countries' resources can be done after the war.

It was too unstable before the war, and after the outbreak of the war, if the mines built in the territory of the enemy country gave the enemy production capacity, it was not cost-effective.

At present, it used to be mainly a shortage of minerals.

At that time, China basically had no industrial base, inland roads were impassable, it was difficult to exploit its own resources, and the East China political axe had not yet been able to reach out to Russia.

As Russia has become a comprador country that China can pinch and flatten at will, and after nearly a decade of development, it has improved a lot in terms of transportation, and China has been able to extend its hand to Russia.

Russia has a lot of resources, such as iron ore and copper ore, which China lacks, and in terms of the layout of oil, the Chinese Empire began very early. With Russia's Far East oil and Baku oil falling into the hands of the Chinese Empire, there are no longer any worries about energy.

The Chinese Empire began to take a four-sided path towards mining and metallurgy.

A smelter is usually built between the mine and the nearest coal mine, so as to minimize the cost of transportation, and after smelting into semi-finished products, they may be sent to a nearby large processing site to be processed into more advanced semi-finished products or finished products, and then transported by rail to various places.

It is not a matter for the metallurgical industry to be concentrated in the coastal area, after all, the inland should be developed, and the inland ore should be transported to the coastal smelting and then transported back to the inland.

With the development of the smelting industry in the interior of the Chinese Empire, and with the training of a large number of workers, and the arrival of German workers in China, the inland smelting industry has almost been able to meet domestic demand. The coastal smelting clusters began to direct their markets to overseas markets, and the coastal smelting clusters themselves were mainly responsible for the needs of the coast and for export.

In terms of steel production alone, the Chinese Empire reached 60 million tons in the autumn of 1917, which has exceeded the output of the whole of last year and has surpassed the United States.

After all, it will take some time for the development of the bubble economy in the United States to react, and there is no suspense about being surpassed by China this year.

In terms of steel production this year, the Chinese Empire has reached 160 kilograms per capita, although it is much lower than that of the United States, but after all, there are many Chinese.

160 kilograms of steel per capita, which is almost enough for the current development. After all, the current development of the Chinese Empire is still somewhat deformed, the inland economy is not yet developed, and the inland population cannot consume so much steel.

Residents need to consume a lot of steel in their lives, they need steel everywhere to build houses, they also need a certain amount of steel for furniture, they also need steel for transportation vehicles such as cars and motorcycles, and even iron nails are consumed for wheelbarrows.

This society cannot function without steel, and the Chinese Empire is not the foundation after all, and even the houses are made of wood.
