Section 353: Social Hot Spots

Not only is public opinion optimistic about Li Fuan, but even foreigners are optimistic about him and praise him. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

The British and Germans were the most active, and the Germans are now crazy and want China to enter the war quickly, otherwise they will not be able to hold out.

After Germany bombed the United States, it aroused the hatred of the whole United States, and set off all kinds of discriminatory activities against German citizens in the United States, while Anglo-Saxons actively joined the army, and the US government even issued a mandatory conscription order, planning to conscript 5 million young people of school age to fight in the war.

The reaction of the Americans caught the Germans off guard, and the reason why they bombed the United States was that at first they only wanted to give the United States a warning and to scare the United States away, but the US Government was well disguised, and they played all kinds of human rights cards, leaving the impression that Americans were afraid of death all over the world.

But in fact, this is really an illusion, with the temper of an American cowboy will be afraid of death? If you look at any war in the United States, you will find that the courage of the Americans is actually far greater than that of Britain and France, and they are directly catching up with Germany and Russia.

Of course, there is still some distance from the Japanese who have been cultivated by bushido, but Japan's spirit is the same as the **** of more than ten years after liberation, it is a kind of courage stimulated by crazy propaganda, and it is impossible to last, Japan lost this spirit in a very short time after World War II, as soon as the Japanese government announced that it wanted to intervene in peacekeeping operations, the Japanese Self-Defense Forces immediately failed to recruit soldiers, and the soldiers in service also asked to retire; In fact, China is the same, after the reform and opening up, the life of the common people has become better, and a large number of young people believe that China cannot defeat the United States, and when they are poor and white, they eat fried noodles with rifles and resist the US imperialism in the ice and snow.

The advantage of the Oriental nation is not the courage of the individual spirit, but the extremely strong obedience, once organized by military and restrained by strict military discipline, it is the best managed soldier.

At this point, the American cowboys are far behind, their military discipline is as strict, but they can't stop all kinds of vices, and the garrisons in various places are always troublesome, and the American military in later generations in Japan continues to burst out of all kinds of strong Japanese female students is an example.

And the Americans' poor management is also because the Germans' bombing has aroused the same hatred and hatred, and the US government may still be thanking the Germans, if it were not for their actions, it would have been really difficult for the US government to unify the national ideology that has always been unruly and fully intervene in the war.

So the Germans failed to scare off the United States, but let the United States begin to fight back against them with all their might, the United States' manpower, financial resources and various material resources, a steady stream of Europe, the Germans can only bite the bullet and continue to bomb, but the Americans are not fools, they suffered a loss, and soon learned the experience.

The first German bombing really hit Cleveland's oil industry hard, because the Germans used a lot of incendiary bombs. The second time still allowed the Germans to achieve certain results, but the third bombing, the German airship was almost completely annihilated.

The Americans were not completely defenseless against airships, but in their early years, in order to guard against the Japanese air threat, they established various air defense early warnings, but most of them were concentrated on the Pacific coast, and the defense on the Atlantic coast was empty, and even after declaring war on Germany, they still had no defense.

The U.S. government's explanation is careless.

The ghost believes that they are careless, anyway, Yang Chao doesn't believe it, if the US military can even have this kind of mistake, then why can the United States dominate the world, and the West Point Military Academy can close its doors.

Therefore, it can only be a bitter meat plan, a bitter meat plan that arouses the whole country to unite with the enemy.

The three bombings in a short period of time had no impact on the strength of the United States, even if the oil industry only lost some oil refineries, the United States did not only have oil refineries in Cleveland, but also had a large number of oil refining industries in the west and south, and besides, it was impossible for the Germans to destroy all the oil refining industries in Cleveland.

Therefore, the bombing of the Germans, in the end, only brought the oil refining industry in Cleveland to a halt for two or three months, and lost some equipment and factory buildings, and the Americans could fully recover in less than half a year.

The Germans themselves were miserable, not only did they soon lose their air superiority over the United States, let alone bomb the United States, but the American airships began to seek to bomb Germany, and now the Germans' airships were all concentrated in the country, so they could barely block the airships of the Entente.

The Americans have already launched their aviation industry, starting not only to mass-produce airships, but also to produce various types of aircraft, and the US Congress has allocated a budget of 10,000 airships and 4,000 aircraft, intending to create the world's largest air force within a year.

Obviously, if the war could not be ended within a year, Germany would face the problems of Japan, facing the situation that the country's industry, transportation, and even agricultural production were destroyed, and they were really unable to attack the more than 10 million Allied troops on the Western Front.

But even if the German army is excellent, it will usher in defeat in a year, unless China, a country with stronger manpower and not weak material resources, enters the war and sides with Germany, it is possible to turn the tide of the war.

However, although Yang Chao had always shown his friendship with Germany, he never agreed to directly participate in the war, and he tried his best to provide some material to Germany, but he did not need to talk about participating in the war.

Now the Chinese elections are an opportunity for Germany, and the Germans want to convince Li Fuan.

Germans know that this is an opportunity, how can the British devils who are better at diplomacy not see it, and Li Fuan studied in the UK, this relationship makes the British hope for Li Fuan, when Yang Chao was in power before, the British really couldn't have a good relationship with this guy, the first is because Yang Chao has always been pro-German tendencies, and the second is that Britain is really difficult to give up its interests in China.

Now the British also want to open, they can't maintain their privileges in a big country for a long time, with China's current posture, every day is stronger than the previous day, factories are being built everywhere, railways are being built, and they have embarked on a fast track to industrialization, it is clear that this war has given China an excellent opportunity, and they have become a powerful country that is enough to compete with the foreign powers.

Controlling China in Asia has become an illusion like controlling the United States in the Americas.

Therefore, after evaluation, the British thought that they could make appropriate concessions, such as handing over the administrative power of Chinese customs and revising the contents of the Treaty of Nanking and Peking with China.

But their bottom line is to keep Hong Kong, and they need to have a foothold in East Asia. As for the other colonies, such as Weihai, they didn't take it too seriously. As for the concessions in Shanghai and other places, they can be kept and protected, and if they can't, they will be returned to China, anyway, Shanghai is now a free city, and there are complete legal guarantees for doing business in Shanghai, and whether or not there is a concession will have little impact on British interests.

Li Fuan made a positive response to Britain's statement, but he still adhered to China's attitude on the Hong Kong issue, that is, he urged Britain to give up its occupation of Chinese land as soon as possible.

It's just that now everything is still in covert contact, otherwise the colonial issue will definitely cause social concern.

However, the issue of anti-corruption has always been a hot topic in society.

When the reporter interviewed him on this issue, Li Fuan did not feel that there was anything wrong with it, and immediately said that he had always hated corruption. At the same time, he came up with a whole set of targeted measures, such as strengthening supervision and bringing out his experience in fighting corruption in Shandong, saying that corruption can be cured once and for all, as long as he is willing to make up his mind.

The issue of the restoration of imperial power is also a hot topic.

Although Yang Chao has said that he will not run for election, there are still people who create public opinion that Yang Chao wants to be restored, saying that Li Fuan is just a puppet, and if Li Fuan is elected, Yang Chao will definitely restore the imperial power and ascend the throne as emperor.

Li Fuan is also difficult to answer this question, he just made a strong statement, saying that Yang Chao is a person he admires, and he believes that Yang Chao will be a great person like Washington, and he will definitely not act perversely like Yuan Shikai.

Li Fuan is actually a British returnee, and he is not opposed to a constitutional monarchy in his heart. When the reporter asked whether it would be better than the presidential system if China really restored the imperial power, Li Fuan said very sincerely, in fact, the constitutional monarchy is the best form of government, and the British Empire is an example.

Another social hotspot is international diplomacy.

International diplomacy has always been a major national affair and an important task that the new government has to face.

In his views on diplomacy, Li Fuan insisted on resolving diplomatic issues through negotiations, but when necessary, he believed that it was okay to adopt all appropriate methods, such as resolving some unreasonable and unfair issues through forceful means, such as the issue of foreigners' privileges and tariffs, which were all important issues that needed to be resolved as soon as possible.

Regarding the war in the West, Li Fuan did not make it clear, he opposed any war, and he called for peace. Unless China's interests are violated, China should not rush into the war of Westerners.

"I'm excited to see your ideas come to fruition in the years to come."

The reporter ended the interview and complimented Li Fuan.

Li Fuan was also very personable at this time: "Hehe, all this has to wait for the results of the election, and everything is not good." ”

The reporter laughed: "You are too modest. ”

Li Fuan said: "No, Mi Qing is a very good opponent. ”

After sending off the reporter, Li Fu'an's mood continued to be good, he has been good these days, Yang Chao fulfilled his promise, mobilized all the forces of the Fuqiang Party to support him, and gave him sufficient campaign funds, Li Fu'an thought that there was no need to spend the money, and he had not spent 10,000 taels of silver from beginning to end, except for advertising in the newspaper at the beginning, and then the newspaper chased him for an interview.

Compared to Mi Qing's side, Pan Xun traveled everywhere, but he never found enough funds, I heard that Mi Qing now has to pay for the travel expenses in various places out of his own pocket, how can he be pressured by such an 'excellent' competitor? (To be continued.) )
