Yang Chao responded positively to the Brazilian ambassador's statement and said that he welcomed the export of Brazilian steel to China. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

This made the Brazilian ambassador overjoyed, and they are already trying to promote Brazilian steel exports to China, and in their opinion, as long as they can get a share of the big market in China, the problem of Brazilian steel production capacity will be completely solved.

But their efforts were unsuccessful, because their products did not have any advantage over American steel products, because even at the same price, they were more than a quarter higher than the freight costs of American steel, and there was no price advantage at all.

In addition to suppressing U.S. steel production, limiting the size of the U.S. steel industry, maintaining and expanding China's strategic industrial capacity, and stimulating Brazil's imperial ambitions, Yang Chao will also open up a new channel for money laundering.

The line from Spain to China alone still seems too simple, and if it is too simple, it will be easier to expose.

Although Zhang Zuolin's people have always maintained one-line contact with the Spanish government, and he found a Russian, each time carrying boxes of dollars to negotiate with the Spanish government, so that Spain never knew that it was the Chinese who gave them money, and their artworks were not only sold in China, but shipped all over the world, and even in Switzerland there were more than in China.

What if this person is arrested, in case he betrays Zhang Zuolin, Zhang Zuolin's righteousness does envelop many of his subordinates, but some people have righteousness in their mouths, whether they can withstand the torture is still a question, and this Russian is a Cossack, although Zhang Zuolin trusts him, Yang Chao does not dare to put his hope on his loyalty to Zhang Zuolin.

Therefore, Brazil is the next channel, let the Spanish government order arms from Brazil, the money laundered is real, and it is appropriate to pay the Brazilian government, and in the end, the rise in steel prices will have to be reimbursed by the Americans.

Even if it is money laundering, Yang Chao will not let the Brazilian government take advantage of it in vain, China can allocate a quota of 10 million tons of steel to Brazil, but he asked the Brazilian government not to increase the tax rate on iron ore in Brazil.

In addition, Yang Chao said that he has discovered a large iron ore mine in Brazil and hopes to cooperate with the Brazilian government to mine it, and the cooperation method can be agreed separately, but it is better to use the model of Itabira iron ore, because this model is mutually beneficial.

There are also large iron mines, the Brazilian ambassador is careful and heartbroken, to be honest, with the mining of Brazilian iron ore in recent years, the possession of this strategic mineral, so that their international influence has increased a lot, the Germans have continued to increase procurement in recent years, even during the big crisis, their iron ore export losses are not large, the Chinese have reduced their purchases by 10 million tons, basically absorbed by the Germans.

Brazil did not know that the Germans did not purchase these iron ores directly into the steel mills, but hoarded them as strategic materials, and the Germans began to build strategic reserves to prepare for war, otherwise Germany was generally self-sufficient in iron ore and did not need to import them on a large scale.

Fake dollars are given to Brazil through Spain, and Brazilians either save them or spend them in the United States, which will make this trading network more complicated and more difficult to detect, since it is not discovered, it will not be exposed, and it will indirectly protect the people who launder money, and they will not be targeted, and they will not be caught, as for the Spanish government, it is impossible for them to arrest this person, this is their God of Wealth.

It's just that the agreement with the Brazilian government has caused protests from the Americans, who say that it undermines the principle of free trade and the trade agreement between China and the United States, and that the United States has the right to take measures to protect its interests, but they are just talking loudly, and they dare not fight a trade war with China at this time.

As for the Westerners, they are too busy to care, and it does not affect their interests.

Moreover, this kind of agreement is not signed by one country, Germany has also signed different trade agreements with 28 countries, exchanging German equipment for minerals from various countries, China has only signed an agreement with Brazil, and not to mention that it has signed an oil agreement with Rockefeller, the British have not said anything, and the Americans are crooked.

The matter was over, and the Brazilians ambitiously began to expand their steel industry, while also increasing iron ore mining, which was fortunately mainly under the control of Standard Chartered Mining, which ordered mining equipment directly from China, which gave a boost to the development of machinery manufacturing.

Then, after several rounds of negotiations with Britain and France, the Chinese government expressed its willingness to accept the non-interference agreement proposed by Britain and France, which would prohibit Chinese companies from producing arms for the Spanish government, hoping to contribute to peace in Spain.

Britain and France expressed their appreciation for China's attitude, believing that it was a responsible attitude.

However, the Chinese government still insists that the two warring Spanish sides should sit down and negotiate a solution in a civilized manner, but no one cares about this truly responsible attitude.

Britain and France were clearly increasingly siding with the rebels, and although there was a lot of domestic contention in both countries, for Britain, a victory for the Russian-backed government of the Spanish Republic meant that Russia would be able to threaten the Strait of Gibraltar, the exit from the Mediterranean.

And Britain is very worried that intervening in the Spanish Civil War will cause a new round of world war, the British, who have suffered enough in the First World War, no longer want to get involved in any modern war, the British found that the world has changed, and it is no longer the era when a few thousand people could sweep a country in the past, they only used a few thousand people to fight the government, but they can no longer afford to fight the million-level war of the First World War.

The coming to power of the French Popular Front also made them panic.

The British newspaper Daily Mirror openly expressed hostility: "If the GCIST contagion which is now prevalent in Spain and France is allowed to spread to other countries, the two governments that have already eradicated it on their own soil, Germany and Italy, will be our most useful friends." ”

The British Labour Party has given a stern criticism of this statement, and it is clear that there has been no agreement within the UK.

The contradiction in France is even greater, the Popular Front government, psychologically supports the government of the Spanish Republic, not only because of their similarity in ********, but also because of Germany, France has always been the most vigilant against Germany, the radical Nazi government has made them feel threatened again, Germany has always been their biggest object of vigilance, otherwise they would not have spent a lot of money to build the Maginot Line, you must know that it was when Germany had just been defeated and the economy had not yet recovered. It can be said that the fear of war of the French is still above that of the British.

Moreover, the French Popular Front is a coalition, not just Bushwick in power, nor has it established a Bushwick brick government like in Soviet Russia.

Immediately after the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War, French Prime Minister Bloom rushed to London to negotiate with the British, hoping to persuade the British to support the legitimate Spanish government.

But Britain refused, advocating neutrality between the two countries and expressing dissatisfaction with the attitude of the French government.

After returning from England, French Prime Minister Bloom urgently convened three cabinet meetings, with the result that most of the cabinet members of different factions opposed the delivery of weapons to Spain.

The President of the Senate even warned the Government: "We can be sure here that Britain will not follow us if any interference in the question of Spain gives rise to disputes in Europe." ”

The meaning is very clear, when the Nazis and Italy are supporting the rebels, and France wants to support the Spanish government, it is best to weigh how to deal with the joint attack of Germany and Italy.

The French were more afraid of war than the British, so they accepted the British offer of neutrality.

As a result, Britain, ruled by the capitalists, and France, ruled by the workers' politicians, maintained neutrality, closed the border between France and Spain, blocked the Spanish coast, and forbade all arms ships from docking.

However, the passage of Italian ships from the Mediterranean side was unimpeded, which was equivalent to opening a back door for Frango to deliver weapons.

It was not until the Chinese forcibly squeezed in and stirred up that the legitimate government of Spain was given a large number of weapons and equipment.

At the same time, it also caused a strong protest from Italy and Germany, only that they had no reason to refuse the supply of military equipment from one country to the legitimate government of another, and most importantly, and for the only reason, Mussolini was not confident that he would be able to stop China's huge navy from entering the Mediterranean.

In the second half of the 37th year of the war, China suddenly announced a ban on its own companies to produce arms for the Spanish government, which really gave Germany and Italy a sigh of relief, Britain and France, mainly Britain, also felt that they were far away from the threat of Soviet Russia, as for France, it was just another failed diplomacy, giving their backs to Frango, who was supported by the Nazis, and let them carry them like a man.

On the other hand, China's ban made the Spanish government panic immediately, they got dollars from the black market during this time, and then bought Chinese weapons and equipment, which greatly improved their combat effectiveness, and had stabilized the two fronts of Madrid and the Basque Country, and was planning a counteroffensive.

The Spanish ambassador kept asking to see the Chinese president, but Mi Ching said that they had to consider the attitude of Britain and France, after all, China has signed an intercontinental agreement with Britain, and on European issues, it is necessary to seek Britain's attitude.

This allowed the Spanish government to hate the British to the core, vowing to reclaim the Strait of Gibraltar, which had been forcibly occupied by the British for hundreds of years, once they had eliminated the rebels. (To be continued.) )
