Section 639 U.S.-China Relations

"The Chinese have at least 30,000 tons of gold reserves. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoAccording to the latest situation, China's economy is slowly recovering, and we should know that this means that China has the ability to import a large number of foreign goods. ”

"For the United States, if we can open up trade between China and the United States, as long as we can occupy one-third of China's grain market, that means providing food for 100 million people, which will allow American agriculture to recover immediately. China is carrying out large-scale power and infrastructure construction, which is a market that cannot be ignored for our power equipment manufacturing, machinery manufacturing, and even engineering construction. ”

"If we can have full trade with China, I dare to assert that the United States will soon get out of its current economic predicament and return to the economic state it was three years ago."

In the U.S. Congress, President Roosevelt sat in a wheelchair and was impassioned, and he sang the praises of China's economy, putting China in a key position related to whether the U.S. economy can recover.

"Therefore, we have every reason to believe that whether the United States can restore its past dignity and solve its current predicament depends on whether we can give up our senseless feelings and open our minds to accept the world's largest economic country."

"Of course, as the distinguished congressmen said, we can't ignore the dignity of the country for the sake of economic interests, so we need to establish diplomatic relations with China, establish trade relations, but we also need China's respect, and I think this is the same for China, the United States cannot ignore China, and China must not ignore the United States."

"I ask for congressional authorization to begin diplomatic negotiations with China without compromising the national dignity of the United States."

Roosevelt ended his speech with applause that lasted more than ten minutes, and it was clear that he had conquered the members of Congress.

Is that really the case?

In the previous six months, Roosevelt began to warm up and constantly made remarks on various occasions about the importance of Sino-US relations, which were mixed with the process of Roosevelt's administration, and as Roosevelt's New Deal slowly took effect, the unemployment rate in the United States was greatly reduced. The more support Roosevelt received, the more his views were accepted.

But this is not the biggest factor in his support for congressmen, because these congressmen in the United States, although they are all elected by the people. However, at least half of them are inextricably linked with the big capitalists, saying that they serve the capitalists in the name of the people, and they are not wronged at all.

But to say that they are the lackeys of the capitalists would be to underestimate the complexity of politics. Either it is inflammatory propaganda with ulterior motives, or it is the self-delusion of ignorant people.

Exchange, cooperation and bribery, this is the basic rule of the American political ecology, American congressmen are by no means lackeys of the capitalists, and of course they are not spokesmen for the interests of the common people, they are also flesh and blood and selfish individuals, although it is not excluded that there are a few idealists who are not affected in any way, but most of the old guys who are crawling in the political arena can maintain this ideal all their lives.

So these politicians know very well in their hearts, when necessary. Why not do it when they push for a state policy that is beneficial to the capitalists, which is harmless and reaps a lot of rewards?

It's just that after all, they relied on the votes of the common people, and they had to at least protect the interests of the common people on the surface, so they would never risk ending their political future and serve the capitalists in a grand manner, so if Roosevelt could not come up with sufficient reasons, they would never take the risk of helping Roosevelt.

However, after more than half a year of propaganda, Roosevelt at least superficially created a feeling that everyone had accepted China. Everyone can temporarily abandon their bad feelings about China for the sake of economic interests, so they can vote for Roosevelt, after all, communication with China is too important for American capitalists. Not to mention others, the Rockefeller consortium alone can make their oil wells flow gold again.

After suppressing the Morgan consortium, the Rockefeller consortium has become the undisputed bigwigs of American political forces, and there is no telling how many congressmen serve them in Congress, as long as they do not cause popular protests. These members of Congress will not hesitate to cast their all-important vote on Rockefeller's behalf.

So Roosevelt's proposal to negotiate with China was passed by a high vote, and then the stock market responded very well to it, and the stock market rose like a puff of smoke in the downturn, but when the market closed, it fell again to the time when the market opened.

After that, the major newspapers reported the news one after another, and most of them had a positive and optimistic attitude, how many of them took the money from the consortium, then only the editors-in-chief and the editors know, and the ordinary people only knew that if they could establish relations with China, their jobs would be guaranteed, and their wages would be increased, anyway, the newspapers said so, their parliamentarians said so, as for whether it was true, how did they know.

In this way, Roosevelt obtained the right to negotiate the establishment of diplomatic relations with China, and soon they formally extended an invitation to China through the British government, intending to start negotiations in London on the establishment of relations with China, and to resolve various remaining problems between China and the United States, as well as possible conflicts in the future.

During this time, Roosevelt was very active in promoting negotiations to establish relations with China, compared to the United States, China was very indifferent to this matter, the Chinese official has never responded to the attitude of the United States, and the people do not care about the Americans at all, as if they have returned to the Ming and Qing dynasties hundreds of years ago, Chinese they do not pay attention to the outside world at all.

Chinese are more concerned about the National Reconstruction and Development Office, the Bohai Tunnel, the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River, the State Grid, a super-national project carried out by China, the Japanese building warships, and the war going on in Siberia.

As a great power, the influence of the United States on China's modern times is far inferior to that of Britain and France, neither of Germany nor Japan, nor of the Russian Empire.

This situation is very strange, it seems that the development of Sino-US relations is the Americans shaving their heads and picking their heads, and the Chinese do not care, and what makes the Americans breathe a sigh of relief is that the Chinese government has officially responded to the US demand for negotiations. Promised to send a diplomatic team to London for negotiations.

Then Chinese newspapers began to pay attention to the matter. (To be continued.) )
