U.S. diplomatic treaties are voted on by Congress, and the same is true of China, which clumsily imitates the U.S. system. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

When the treaty was signed, there was some opposition in both countries.

Americans believe that Roosevelt's apology is an insult to the dignity of the United States, and Roosevelt's move is not suitable to be the president of the United States.

Some newspapers told the people the truth that the US president only apologized in his own name and had nothing to do with the US government and the people, and that this kind of apology had no meaning at all, and that the US president must apologize in his capacity as president and be recognized by the US Congress before it can be regarded as an apology by the US government.

This is true, but it is negative, and it is likely to affect the restoration of relations between the two countries.

As soon as this kind of argument appeared, Yang Chao immediately took action, immediately accepted an interview with the newspaper, and highly praised President Roosevelt's apology, believing that this is the attitude that a responsible politician should have, and it is an expression of responsibility for the American people.

Then Yang Chao openly expressed his support for the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and the United States, believing that the United States is, after all, the world's largest economic power, and China is also an economic power, and that the mutual resistance between the two countries is very unfavorable to the recovery of the international economy, and that the restoration of relations between the two countries is not only an attitude of responsibility to the people of the two countries, but also an attitude of responsibility to the whole world, which is the sense of responsibility that a major country should have.

Yang Chao's high-profile singing is higher, all high to the level of the world, which is very in line with the Chinese's world view, but unconsciously began to guide the Chinese to start talking about the issue of world responsibility, I don't know if Yang Chao did it intentionally, after all, the so-called world responsibility, to put it bluntly, is also world power, power and responsibility are consistent, as long as you can bear world responsibility, you are the world police, the world hegemon.

This responsibility is not something that anyone can bear if they want to, and the British have killed as many as they want to 'be responsible for the world'. In order to be responsible for the world, the Americans did not hesitate to participate in World War II to a high degree, and this kind of responsibility is like a big boss hypocritically lamenting that he has to think about hundreds of thousands of people eating and drinking Lazar every day when he opens his eyes. It's like a slave, but you can talk about grievances, and you may feel more proud in your heart.

Yang Chao's high profile quickly attracted Chinese public opinion to his side, and no one paid attention to whether it was a public apology from the US government, to put it bluntly. China's public opinion is still too easy to manipulate, the common people are not as clear as the Americans, not as persistent as the Americans, the world view is not the same, most of the Chinese at this time feel that the president has apologized, and the consciousness feels that it is enough, after all, in the subconscious of the Chinese, the idea of imperial power has not yet receded, and the emperor represents the country. Many people still look at the president through the eyes of the emperor, so the president of the United States apologized, as if the emperor of the United States apologized.

Roosevelt encountered a little trouble on his side, after all, American public opinion is not so easy to manipulate, and there are more newspapers representing the interests of all strata, but there are only a few strong ones, representing industrial capital, representing bank capital, and really representing the people at the bottom, although there are. But not much, let alone mainstream, the worldview of mainstream newspapers such as the New York Times, at least the middle class. They are more in favor of establishing diplomatic relations with China, and since Roosevelt has personally apologized and the Chinese have accepted it, then there is no need to stalemate, and acceptance is the wisest.

As a result, the treaty was passed by a narrow margin in the US Congress, which meant that China and the United States had completed the restoration of diplomatic relations. With the restoration of diplomatic relations, negotiations on other relations can be initiated.

The core of this is the economic relationship, and the center of gravity in the economic relationship is trade and investment, and the core of trade is tariffs, so soon the two countries began to negotiate the tariff issue between the two sides.

This is an even more difficult negotiation, and the degree of difficulty is far higher than the restoration of diplomatic relations, because although the restoration of diplomatic relations is troublesome, the political forces on both sides are very clear that the restoration of relations is imperative.

For the rapid restoration of diplomatic relations between China and the United States, the attitudes of various countries are different, the small countries have little influence, their attitudes are not important, France and Germany have little influence, and the greatest influence is Britain, they have a sour feeling, as the boss of the troika in the current world power system, as the guardian of world hegemony, it is not a good thing for Britain to see the hegemonic countries in Asia and the Americas approaching.

The proximity of the second and third children means that the boss will not be able to speak in the future, and China and the United States will have a bad relationship, and the biggest benefit is the United Kingdom, because they can calmly maneuver between China and the United States, and give full play to the political influence of their world hegemon, but these two countries are now in direct communication, and many of them can bypass Britain in handling international affairs.

Not only is the loss of political interests, the economic loss may be more obvious, more significant, not to mention, just the entry of American oil into the Chinese market, let Britain control China's oil situation is gone, will make Britain lose one of the largest sources of income, during the great crisis, the export of oil to China, is already the largest income in Britain's foreign trade, if the loss of this trade income, Britain will immediately enter a state of trade deficit.

For France and Germany, they will lose some industrial products market at most, and it will not be too big, after all, the price of American industrial products is much higher than that of Germany and France, only automobiles, agricultural products and other fields, the United States has an absolute price advantage, and the two countries do not have an advantage in these two products, the German automobile industry has not yet developed, and the French automobile industry does not have a price advantage.

In the field of investment, the British are certainly the biggest losers, as the first industrial country, Britain has long developed to the era of foreign investment, and the United States also has the strength to invest abroad, even during the economic crisis, American capital still has the ability to export, look at their crazy investment in Germany after the Nazis came to power. To put it bluntly, what the economic crisis lacks is not money, but investment opportunities.

When China and the United States are bad, Americans can't invest in China, the British can, the Chinese can't invest in the United States, Britain can, so when China and the United States are at odds, Britain is at ease, investing in the two countries is very easy and comfortable, now the two countries communicate, then American capital will pour into China to find opportunities, Chinese capital will also pour into the United States to find capital, then British investment in the two countries may be the biggest impact, after all, Shanghai and New York, are London's biggest competitors, The ability of these two places to generate capital is no longer lost to London.

In the same way, the motivation of France and Germany to invest abroad is insufficient, the French still have a large number of colonies to invest, as a European country whose capital output is not as good as that of Britain, their colonies are enough to consume their surplus capital, and Germany has always been in a state of lack of capital after World War I.

The same is true in the field of diplomacy, when China and the United States are at odds, the two countries tear each other down on world diplomatic issues, which makes the United States unable to penetrate Europe with peace of mind, so that Britain maintains a strong voice in Europe, and at the same time maintains a strong influence in other parts of the world, but now that China communicates, I am afraid that the United States' right to speak in Europe will be greatly strengthened, if China and the United States cooperate, it will even make Britain's influence on the European continent greatly reduced, and at the same time, after losing the constraints, China's status in East Asia has no challenger, It will certainly expand in other directions in Asia, and the United States will certainly stabilize its influence in North and Central America, and will vigorously crowd out British influence in Latin America.

Sino-US cooperation will not be responsible for the international order, but will increase the challenge to British hegemony.

Therefore, after the restoration of relations between the two countries, Britain sent two large diplomatic delegations to visit the two countries separately.

At this time, Yang Chao received them.

Because Yang Chao finally returned to China, he came to return to China to take up his post, because he was the premier of China.

China's transition of power is set on Chinese New Year's Eve, and Chinese New Year's Eve is February 13 in the lunar calendar.

Yang Chao attended Mi Qing's New Year's dinner and announced his acceptance of the post of prime minister, which caused heated debate around the world.

Because he did not renounce the tsarist premiership, it meant that he would be the prime minister of both countries.

"Of course, I will not abdicate my responsibility to the Russian Empire, and in the current situation, it is immoral to shirk responsibility."

Yang Chao said to the dignitaries and well-known journalists from various countries who attended the dinner.

The impact is too great.

Western newspapers soon carried out various interpretations, and there was no shortage of politicians in the West who held multiple chancellors' positions, such as Bismarck, who was once the dual chancellor of Prussia and the German Empire, but Germany was a sovereign state at that time, and Prussia and the Kingdom of Bavaria were all member states of the German Empire.

So does it mean that the Russian Empire has become the status of a Chinese state? Whether this is a prelude to China's annexation of the Russian Empire, more than one country, one voice is analyzing it in this way, the United States is ridiculing China's unfriendly newspapers, and only the newspapers in the West are also full of sarcasm, and the Soviet and Russian newspapers are even protesting.

But all this did not affect the Chinese newspapers, and they even turned up the story of Su Qin wearing the seal of the six countries to argue that the annexation of Siberia was very enthusiastic to the Chinese.

Therefore, China's public opinion circles not only do not criticize Yang Chao or satirize Yang Chao's behavior, but defend Yang Chao everywhere and speak for Yang Chao.

For a while, Yang Chao's prestige was not only not hit, but even rose a lot, and the name of Yang Chao in the newspapers was changed, he used to be called former president, called him Mr. Yang, and now he began to call Premier Yang, and also added a "big" word, called Premier Yang.

In this era, it is popular to add a 'big' word before the post to show respect, a general, a generalissimo, a president, etc., but the prime minister has never won the honor of the word 'big', and now Yang Chao has made it, I don't know if it will form a tradition, the president of China is the president, and the prime minister is also the prime minister?

Everything seems to be going in a normal direction, but no one could have imagined that an undercurrent has begun to slowly emerge, a long-planned political attack on Yang Chao. (To be continued.) )
