This is the end of the German problem, Britain and the United States dominated, Britain seemed to have taken the lead, but it allowed the United States to intervene in European affairs as it wished, and the United States was no longer a regional power confined to North America, but became a world power.

French diplomacy failed completely, did not resist the pressure of Britain and the United States, and ceded the dominance of the reparations committee to Britain and the United States, but their troops were still stationed in the Ruhr, although they claimed that they had no territorial claims to the Ruhr, but in their hearts they actually wanted to occupy it more than anyone else.

When things get here, there is nothing to do with Yang Chao, he does some things in private, and pulls some high-end talents for China, which is already the limit of what Britain and the United States can accept, and it is unacceptable to directly control the upper level of Britain and the United States, so there is no need for him to stay in Germany, and soon went to the Netherlands to join Olica.

In the Netherlands also received a warm reception, the Dutch official and Yang Chao had a warm conversation, but talked about economic issues, the Dutch only valued one economic issue, the sea coachman had long been demolished by the British Empire, and had no ambition.

In addition to the Netherlands, there are also some countries that come to the Netherlands to visit Yang Chao, in Germany, the land of right and wrong, they are inconvenient, but in the neutral country of the Netherlands, they have no scruples, the Swedes are coming, the Danes are coming, the Norwegians are coming, the Finns are coming, and even the French are coming.

Sweden, Denmark and Norway are the three Nordic countries, in addition to Norway, Denmark and Sweden have begun their industrialization, like the Netherlands, in the last two or three decades of the 19th century, the population doubled, all around 5 million, education is developed, the quality of the population is relatively high, the system has long completed the modernization construction, they are naturally ushered in industrialization, the industry is very reasonable.

Yang Chao is also very welcome to this kind of country, because cooperation will have stable benefits, even if it was invaded by the Nazis in World War II, it can be recovered after the war, of course, the premise is that China is strong enough, you can get back everything you lost, and maybe you can take more.

However, the industries of these countries are not very complementary to China, because their industrialization is natural and the government is not involved, so the industries are in line with their national endowments, for example, Denmark is famous for its pig industry, which then assists in the processing of pork, lard and pig skins, as well as the forestry industry, shipping and shipbuilding; Sweden is rich in iron ore resources, high iron content, coupled with high-quality education and manpower, is developing high-end metallurgical industry, the same forest industry, agricultural products processing industry and so on are similar to Denmark; Finland's industrialization level is later than these countries, after the establishment of Tsarist Russia, the economic type has not changed much, it is still dominated by the forest industry, and even directly exported timber raw materials, the industry is still relatively backward, and their real development will wait until a few decades later.

Yang Chao is interested in cooperating with these countries, and these countries also want to make money from China, and if China is so big, they will be rich if they divide it casually.

However, Yang Chao really did not see the feasibility of any economic cooperation between these countries and China, so he could only make a suggestion, inviting them to form a trade delegation to China, and China was willing to sign a generous trade agreement with them and encourage mutual investment.

The representatives of several countries left satisfied, of course, the official procedures still have to be taken, but there should be no obstacles, this kind of small country, if you cooperate with them, you will not give Pan Xun extra points, you will not cooperate with them, and you will not give him points, but it is dispensable, and Pan Xun will not feel that his power is threatened.

The most important thing is France, France's interaction with China's economy has deepened in recent years, not only because French products are suitable for China, but also because France's understanding of China has risen, and the degree of increase is greater than their accumulation over the past hundred years, because they have directly retained 200,000 Chinese workers.

Thanks to the efforts of the French government, 200,000 single Chinese workers eventually stayed in France after the war. This is only a small fraction of the total number of Chinese workers who used to be as high as 5 million. The large number of parties in France were very divided on the question of Chinese workers, and they put it on the agenda before the war was over.

Some forces said that they wanted to maintain the purity of the French nation and refuse to allow Chinese and other races to stay in France, but some factions wanted to continue to sign contracts with Chinese workers, so that these Chinese workers who had adapted to France could continue to work for France, the former was the attitude of the democrats, and the latter was the will of the capitalist class.

Just as later generations of China were very dissatisfied with Chinese girls marrying foreigners, thinking that those women were self-inferior, France in the 20th century was the same, France is a country with strong nationalism, public opinion has always hated French women marrying foreign men, their laws and policies have long discouraged transnational marriage, once French women marry foreigners, they will immediately lose their own nationality.

However, after the death of millions of French young men of working age in the war, the French finally bowed their heads in the face of reality in the face of the fact that there was no labor available without leaving foreign labor, and they changed the law to adopt a compromise attitude towards marriage with French women and foreigners, not only allowing French women to retain their nationality, but also allowing foreign men to join France.

Under this system, the 200,000 Chinese workers who developed love with French women during the war stayed, and of course more Chinese workers returned to China and brought back more than 200,000 French daughters-in-law. A considerable number of the Chinese workers who remained were married to French war widows and helped the French raise children.

Chinese feel responsible for the women they have slept with, but at the same time do not think that they have a special responsibility for women, so these people use hard labor to feed French women and French children, and on the other hand, they are not clean when it comes to men and women, and often hook up with more than one girl.

Under heavy pressure, these people had to think of various methods, fortunately, the Chinese endured hardships and stood hard work, and under pressure also knew how to be flexible, and soon opened restaurants, small shops, laundries, and a large number of Chinese began to engage in commerce, and some of them began to trade with China.

These people have inextricable relationships in the country, kinship, fellow villagers, have helped their business, so French products have begun to penetrate into the Chinese countryside, Renault's small agricultural machinery is the most representative, but it is not the only best-seller, France's various fashion products, clothing, perfume, cosmetics, wine, champagne and other luxury goods have entered the life of the increasingly wealthy urban middle class, and French wires and cables and even light bulbs have entered China's rapid development of electrification.

With the efforts of tens of thousands of businessmen of all sizes who understand Chinese culture, the scale of Sino-French trade has increased rapidly, and China has become France's largest trading object, with an annual export volume of 500 million gold yuan coupons and a surplus of 100 million gold yuan, which has attracted the great attention of the Chinese Ministry of Agriculture and Commerce.

Yang Chao also talked about this issue this time, the French get 100 million gold dollars from China every year, which means that 100 tons of gold flow into France, and France is certainly not willing to give up.

They said that they were willing to cooperate to solve the current high deficit problem, but they did not agree to revise the tax rate, which the French thought was reasonable. The current trade is because the French goods are of good quality, which Chinese consumers like.

Yang Chao said that France's tariffs on China's machinery products, shipbuilding, locomotives, iron and steel products, cloth and leather are too high, and if tariffs are not reduced, China will impose tariffs on French tractors, silk fabrics, garments and electronic products.

China's machinery products are Germany, the United States to lay the bottom, and is not a backward product, Yang Chao spared no effort to support a number of high-end products, Diesel engines, Heath machine tools. The shipbuilding industry was also derived from German and American technology, and later annexed the essence of Japanese shipbuilding, and its technical capabilities were comparable to those of Britain and the United States. Diesel engines using Diesel engines, ZF Transmission Technology, as well as diesel and electric locomotives from Siemens Technology are now also the world's most advanced products. The scale of steel has been reduced from high-end to cheap skewer fabrics, and the vast Siberian and Mongolian cattle and sheepskin goods.

These are China's advantageous industries, which have too many advantages over similar small and medium-sized enterprises in France, but France's tariffs are very high, and these products are protected.

"We can lower tariffs even more, and tariffs will only limit the division of labor between the two sides in addition to a small increase in finance, and if you want, we can even experiment with complete free trade, establish a Sino-French free trade area, and for a period of time, the two sides will exempt each other from all tariffs, and promote the economic development of both sides." If you don't agree, I think we'll be forced to raise tariffs on certain French goods. ”

Yang Chao proudly announced to the French.

He communicated with Pan Xun, and his attitude represents China's attitude, and Pan Xun also thinks that letting Yang Chao come forward can win many more benefits than those who want to face the Ministry of Agriculture and Commerce, so he gave Yang Chao a temporary position as a special envoy for trade between China and France.

If this is the case, it will undoubtedly greatly increase the export of French products, but it will also contribute to the import of a large number of Chinese goods, he really can't make this decision, France has to evaluate whether it is beneficial to France.

Yang Chao didn't care at all, he just threw out this concept, the concept of the Sino-French Free Trade Zone.

Yang Chao knew that the French could not agree, not because people of insight in France did not want to agree, but because their parliament was in chaos, and seven or eight parties were of equal strength and could not reach a common opinion at all.

On the issue of France, they themselves were in a stalemate, which led to all kinds of tricks, allowing Britain and the United States to dominate German affairs, you must know that Germany is on the European continent, right next to France, or a feud, they have lost control of this country.

In this French government, in order to reach an agreement, the president directly asked the prime ministers of the first five governments to join the cabinet, hoping to bring together all factions to reach an agreement, but the struggle was even greater.

But the French don't care, some people are very concerned, the Dutch are very concerned about this, they are a small country, they don't have a complete industrial chain, if they can hand over those big industries that they can't make to China, in exchange for China exempting their other industries from taxes, so the Netherlands wants to try.
