Section 721 Deceiving France (1)
After leaving the Netherlands, he went to Denmark and was warmest welcomed by the Danish royal family. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
They can't help but be enthusiastic, Yang Chao is now a big financier in Denmark.
The pharmaceutical factory invested by the Yang Zi consortium in Denmark has become the largest penicillin production plant in Europe.
Yang Chao used cosmic rays to induce high-yield strains, far exceeding this era, and the strains cultivated by Western countries themselves are completely incomparable with the production efficiency of Chinese pharmaceutical factories, and only Denmark, a pharmaceutical factory, has the same high-quality strains as China.
Although the factory is wholly owned by the Yang Zi consortium, it makes no difference to a country like Northwest Europe that welcomes free investment, and the government's biggest purpose is to get tax revenue and solve employment problems.
Naturally, the tax revenue is not to say, this pharmaceutical factory that now supplies the whole of Europe penicillin, the annual profit is calculated in 100 million, not to mention employment, the pharmaceutical factory directly employs 100,000 workers, producing a series of American and Soviet products led by penicillin and streptomycin.
But for other industries, it is unparalleled, penicillin production, need to consume a lot of starch, Denmark happens to be the country with the best food production conditions in Europe, just planting corn, to solve the livelihood of about 1 million Danes, it can be said that these people directly benefit from the production of pharmaceutical factories.
Even Denmark has changed from a grain exporter in the past to a country that is only self-sufficient and no longer exports grain, and the non-export of grain not only does not affect the Danish economy, but allows them to always maintain a good momentum of development in the economic crisis.
They have now formed three pillars of the economy, the first is medicine, the second is the pig industry, and the third is the rough industry, as a wealthy man who single-handedly created a pillar industry for Denmark, Yang Chao deserves the courtesy of the Danish royal family, as the husband of the tsar, he is also qualified to live in the Danish royal palace.
But my daughter was very unhappy.
She still has a serious autism, she doesn't like those enthusiastic European princes and princesses, you must know that because Yang Chao and his wife went to Denmark, Sweden, Belgium, Luxembourg, and even some British aristocratic children went to Denmark to play, the purpose is very clear.
But she's still not used to being in a place where there are too many people.
"Dad, let's go back."
After enduring it for a week, Yang Lan still couldn't stand it and was very ashamed to make a request.
Yang Chao smiled: "Which home are you going back to?" China or Baikal? ”
said, rubbed his daughter's head, her daughter is a big girl, she is 15 years old this year, the appearance of the mixed-race child is particularly charming, which makes a group of little princes in Europe feel heartbeat, of course, what makes their blood boil, I am afraid that it is Yang Chao's amazing wealth, European nobles, bright on the surface, in fact, many are on the verge of bankruptcy, this is an era of aristocratic decline, how many nobles have to marry rich businessmen in order to survive, which was placed 200 years ago, almost a shame.
"It's all right, actually, I'm actually thinking about my aunt."
Yang Lan made excuses for herself, Princess Anna did not accompany her on this trip, but stayed in the tea garden to take care of her son, who was not yet 1 year old, and was obviously not suitable for a long trip.
knew in his heart that his daughter was making excuses for herself, but Yang Chao did not break it, and treating her inner autism could not be cured in a day or two.
"Okay, Dad is going to France, how about you play here for a few more days? If you don't like those little princes and princesses, don't bother with them. You can stay in your room, read a book, listen to the radio. ”
The daughter nodded vigorously, she really doesn't like to play with those European aristocratic children, it's too noisy, go horseback riding today, go boating tomorrow, and have a drinking party the day after tomorrow, out of the aristocratic education she received since childhood, although she doesn't like it very much, but still because of etiquette, she can only pretend to like it and play with them.
Although Yang Chao did not agree to go home immediately, he gave her a hope, and at the same time allowed her to ignore those European princes and princesses, and she was a lot more relaxed.
Yang Chao flew to France the next day, and this time he changed his normal routine and met with French Prime Minister Edouard Daladier.
Daladier is the leader of the French Radical Socialist Party, a few years ago with the French Socialist Party, the French GC Party united to form the Popular Front, and helped the Popular Front to come to power in the 36 elections, the leader of the Socialist Party, the largest force in the Popular Front, João Blome, was in power, and Daladier won the post of Minister of Defense.
As soon as the Prime Minister of the Popular Front, Daladier, came to power, the French workers launched a massive campaign of ba, with 2 million people participating. Daladier immediately fulfilled his electoral promise and immediately carried out social reforms.
Taking advantage of the panic of the capitalists in the frenzy of the French workers, Daladier invited the employers' association to sign an agreement with the CGT at the Palais Martingnon, the chancellery.
The Martinium Accord had three main elements.
The first is the recognition of the right of workers to join trade unions and the right to demand higher wages. But the agreement was a gentleman's agreement, and the employers' associations and unions were only loosely organized, without the ironclad discipline of Bushwick in Soviet Russia, so it was impossible for everyone to abide by it, and it was impossible to settle labor relations.
As a result, the BA wave did not subside, and Blum turned to Parliament for help, introducing a collective contract bill that would provide legal guarantees for the terms agreed upon in the Martinium Accords and enforce them on both employers and employees.
After the passage of the bill, the law formally recognized the right of workers to engage in collective bargaining with capitalists in an organized manner, strengthened the government's ability to intervene in the affairs of enterprises, and at the same time improved the status of trade unions, which was conducive to the development and growth of trade unions.
Second, Blum promoted the improvement of the social welfare benefits of French citizens and the improvement of the working conditions of workers, and the Blum government submitted a bill on paid leave to the Chamber of Parliament, stipulating that workers or employees are entitled to 15 days of paid leave per year after one year of continuous service in the enterprise. The 40-hour workweek bill was also passed, which allowed workers to achieve the long-demanded reduction in working hours and reduced labour intensity.
Thirdly, to strengthen state intervention in economic life, the Bloom government submitted to the Chamber of Deputies a bill on the grand works program. The primary objective of the plan is to be able to absorb unemployed workers into the workforce and reduce the large number of unemployed workers. The government has allocated funds to help small and medium-sized enterprises that are dying to reopen to accommodate some of the unemployed workers.
The government reorganized the Banque de France and organized a committee composed of representatives of all interested parties, including government representatives, to replace the original board of directors to manage the bank, wrestling control of the Banque de France from the "200 families".
The Bloom government also nationalized important enterprises such as arms and aircraft manufacturing, established a national wheat authority, and strengthened state intervention in agricultural production.
To be honest, the first time the Popular Front was in power, the intensity and direction of the reforms were sufficient, so many policies were introduced in 100 days, and the rights of workers were guaranteed by law, and in time France would be on the path of a welfare state, just like the Nordic countries.
But France is not a Nordic country, they are a romantic and enthusiastic Latin people, so they simply do not have the patience and discipline of the Nordic countries.
At a time when the Blum government was carrying out reforms, France was in deep economic crisis and in an extremely difficult financial situation. Due to the lack of necessary funds, the government has not been able to achieve the expected success in reviving the economy, many major projects have not been carried out as scheduled, and employment problems have not been solved in a timely manner.
Capital flight has been exacerbated by rising wages as a result of reforms, which have strained gold reserves, weakened trust in the franc and raised fears of its depreciation. The Blum government made many efforts to avoid devaluation, but was eventually forced to declare a devaluation of the franc.
The devaluation of the franc became a fuse, igniting the impatient French people to discontent with the government, and Blum had to announce a moratorium on reform in a radio address. At this time, the capitalists, who were obsessed with the "Martinium Agreement", were arrogant and wanted to retaliate against the "factory workers" with "capitalist workers" and encourage capitalists not to invest. The growing financial crisis forced Brahm to try to deal with the financial crisis by asking Parliament to grant him a temporary power to take "all necessary measures" by decree.
This demand was rejected in the very conservative Senate, and the Brahm government was forced to resign in June, three months after taking office, and the French social reform was declared a failure.
Blum was prime minister for three months, which was very short-lived, but for France at this time, it was very normal.
After Blum's ouster, another leader of the Radical Socialist Party, Camille Schodang, came to power, and he was in power for 8 months from June '37 to March '38, and the biggest achievement of his tenure was to exalt the status of women, allowing married women to go to university, and at the same time launching a political struggle to kick out the government the Socialist Party, the largest force in the Popular Front.
After Camille stepped down, it was Daladier who came to power, Daladier served longer than everyone, from April 38 to March 40, a total of two years, during which the biggest political achievement was to partner with British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain, signed the Munich Agreement with Adolf and betrayed Czechoslovakia, and at the same time put all his hopes on Britain, broke the Franco-Soviet mutual assistance treaty, and after the Nazis invaded France, he was imprisoned in a concentration camp.
As can be guessed from the frequent political changes, the French are doomed to be difficult to succeed, it is impossible to restore the majesty of the Napoleonic era, and if it were not for the short-sightedness of the Nazis, they would probably not even be able to maintain their status as a second-rate country in Europe.
The Germans have always been short-sighted in international strategy, called tactical geniuses, strategic idiots. The French are no better off, and the French government is acting very stupidly at this time, such as blocking the border with Spain and preventing a single bullet from passing through French territory into the hands of the Spanish Republic, which is tantamount to conniving at the Nazis and fascists to help Franco.
The problem is that they have strengthened border checks, banned smuggling, and arrested a number of Chinese businessmen involved in smuggling, which gave Yang Chao the opportunity to fool them. (To be continued.) )
