Coincidentally, during this time, diplomatic representatives of the Netherlands, Sweden and other countries went to Asia, hoping to join the free trade area led by China and transform the unilateral free trade with China into a changeable trade organization. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

It's a pity that in addition to the Netherlands, other countries have basically not achieved results, even Switzerland, which is closest to the Netherlands, has not won the support of other Asian Free Trade Organization member countries, after all, Switzerland's influence in Europe is acceptable, not lost to the Netherlands and other small countries, but in the world, it is too much worse than the sea coachman, after all, they are only a small landlocked country in Europe, and they don't even have a navy, how can they have world influence.

However, these countries did not have the luxury of hoping that a single diplomatic effort would be able to penetrate the entire Asian region, so they were not discouraged, and after the end of their visits to other countries, the last stop was China, after all, they have free trade agreements with China, and strengthening relations with China has all the benefits and no harm.

During this time, there was a crisis in Siberia, first the Kolchak coup, and then the Russian Empire invaded the Siberian territory of the Russian Empire, the Chinese believed that the Tsar Olga was under house arrest and hostage, even Yang Chao is this idea, although the Netherlands, Sweden and other countries do not believe, but they still come to comfort Yang Chao, for them, in China to make a show of favor to Yang Chao, is the most direct and effective means to please the Chinese, because Yang Chao has always enjoyed high prestige in China.

The diplomatic teams of several countries visited Yang Chao one after another, and Yang Chao also met with them one by one and talked with them.

"In this case, our government is in an extremely awkward position. But I personally will not give up my efforts to free my wife, and I have asked the North Korean government to act as an intermediary in the hope of persuading the Kolchak government to release my wife. ”

Yang Chao expressed his attitude and concerns to the delegates of various countries, and also disclosed that he had been trying to save his wife, and that he was not putting her in danger as the outside world said, and that the North Koreans were happy to use this situation to show their international influence.

In particular, Yang Chao had a four-hour one-on-one meeting with the Swedish representative.

Because the representative of Sweden is their prime minister, Hansen, the leader of the SPD, who only came to power this year.

The so-called Swedish Social Democratic Party, whose full name is the Socialist Democratic Labour Party, was founded in the year of the founding of the Second International, a workers' organization founded by Engels himself.

The establishment of the Second International by Engels led to the establishment of many workers' organizations all over the world, and the workers of many countries formed their own organizations and parties for the first time, and one of the main political programs of Engels in the formation of the Second International was to uphold constitutionalism, so the workers' organizations in many countries also took constitutionalism as their program.

Respect for the constitution, respect for the rule of law, and this is what the Swedish SPD has done.

The first time they stepped onto the political stage was in 1917, the same year as the October Revolution in Russia, when the Swedish Social Democratic Party and the Russian Soviet embarked on a completely different path of workers' politics. They themselves considered themselves the second way of socialism, different from the second way of the Soviet Russian model.

The reason for the embarrassment is not that the Swedish Social Democratic Party has a different philosophy from them, but that the ideas between them are almost the same, and they both insist on eliminating the jie-level difference, and the embarrassing reason is that they adopt different ways, and the Soviet Russian system renders the different jie-level as incompatible, and the evils of the capitalists and landlords cannot be tolerated, and must be eliminated physically; Sweden, on the other hand, adheres to constitutionalism, insists on using legal methods, and insists on narrowing the wealth gap through legal means, and finally eliminates the difference between the classes.

To put it simply, Soviet Russia intends to achieve wealth equality by shooting the rich through violent brick politics, while Sweden hopes to achieve wealth equality by making everyone rich, and the result is that one group of people turns everyone into poor ghosts to achieve equality, and the other group of people achieves equality through common prosperity.

Embarrassingly, the Swedes have succeeded in reducing the average wealth gap between the richest 10 percent and the poorest 60 percent of the population to less than three times in a few decades through the world's highest taxes, which is nothing short of a miracle.

The contrast between the countries of the Soviet and Russian models did achieve equality of wealth in the early days, but it was achieved in the way of national poverty, and the contrast of this situation made the countries of the Soviet and Russian models reluctant to mention the Swedish model for a long time, not to mention, not to discuss, and not even to recognize Sweden as a socialist country, as if there was no such alternative country in the world.

In the subsequent collapse of the Soviet Russian model, the ruling parties in the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe disappeared, while the Swedish Social Democratic Party was able to stay in power for a long time.

The reason for this is that they have adhered to constitutionalism, which protects everyone, including the SPD itself. And the Soviet-Russian model of the state undermined constitutionalism, first they hurt everyone, and finally themselves.

Yang Chao also believes that Sweden's success has no imitation significance for China, because this country is too small, but it has the meaning of reference, all successful countries are worthy of reference from other countries, but blind imitation is worth the loss, the so-called learn from me life, like me die, this is the truth.

In later generations, many countries, in order to exaggerate Sweden's success, satirized the defeat of Soviet Russia, greatly exaggerating the Swedish miracle, describing Sweden as the poorest country in Europe before the SPD, and becoming the richest country in the world after the SPD came to power for decades.

It's a powerful portrayal, but it's too fictional, and it's fair to say that Sweden was an industrial country before the SPD came to power, and proportionally speaking, an industrial powerhouse, with a much better base than in Soviet Russia.

First of all, in terms of education, Sweden is Europe, and it is also the first country in the world to eliminate illiteracy, in 1842, they passed the legislation of education regulations, requiring every Christian district to retain a permanent school, to provide free education for every school-age child, Sweden is a country with more than 95% Christian faith, so it is equivalent to the successful completion of compulsory education legislation for 95% of the population in 1842, which is almost the same as the education reform of Prussia. Compulsory education was completed earlier than in England, the most successful country at the time.

Economically, as a Nordic country, Sweden is very close to Britain and Germany, very close to the center of the Industrial Revolution, as early as before the Industrial Revolution, in the era of the Dutch coachman, Sweden has established a complete military industry, in 1618 began in the Thirty Years' War, Sweden sprung up, swept Europe, shocked the world, from an obscure Nordic effect to become an important country at that time, one of the most important reasons is, At that time, Sweden could provide their soldiers with the best quality weapons, and under Gustav's leadership, the Swedish army made large-scale use of the most advanced flintlock pistols and the best artillery of the time.

And these weapons and equipment are not produced by the Swedes themselves, but Sweden has the best quality iron ore in Europe, and it is the capital and technology of the Netherlands that have built a huge military industry in Sweden, which means that Sweden has adhered to the Dutch and British-style free trade system as early as 300 years ago, and welcomes foreign investment.

After 300 years without war, close to the industrial center, the industrial revolution in Sweden in the 1850s took place naturally, and by the 1900s, the Stockholm area was already inhabited by ordinary people, and the agricultural population had dropped to half of the total population.

The country that can produce a scientist like Nobel cannot be the poorest country in Europe, and if it is, how can you make Eastern and Southern European countries miserable.

In fact, it is precisely because Sweden has cultivated high-quality hands and feet and population, and the overall economy is relatively advanced, that it is easier for their citizens to deal rationally with social problems, that the Swedish Social Democratic Party has been able to adhere to constitutional government, insist on governing and managing through legal means, so that Sweden has continued to maintain jie-level reconciliation and cooperation, and has not broken out into a tragic and violent revolution in the Russian style.

Sweden in 1917 participated in politics through coalition government, and after ten years of experience, they ran independently in 28 years, but did not win enough support, they absorbed the lessons learned, and found that emphasizing the differences between the classes was tantamount to supporting them from all classes, so they began to seek greater support, believing that they should represent all the people.

The Great World Economic Crisis, which originated in the United States, gave the SPD a second chance, with industrial production falling by 21% and a third of the workers unemployed or semi-unemployed.

After the SPD came to power, under the leadership of its chairman, Hansen, it worked out a way to vigorously promote public construction and provide jobs with state finance, and at the same time to implement a better welfare guarantee system.

embarked on a path of welfare-socialism.

Through half a year's efforts, the Hansen government has reduced the unemployment rate in Sweden to below 5%, and the social contradictions have been greatly eased, but it is inevitable to sacrifice some economic efficiency problems, so Sweden needs a larger market to support their economy, they have benefited a lot from free trade with China, Sweden's high-quality iron ore is an indispensable raw material for the production of some high-end metallurgical products, so it can be exported to China in large quantities, and Sweden's precision machining capacity is very strong, Exporting a considerable part of precision bearings and other parts to China can earn more than 10 million US dollars of foreign exchange from China every year.

However, Sweden wanted to further develop the eastern market, so after the domestic economy stabilized, it immediately learned from the Dutch to send a high-level trade delegation to the East, the Dutch sent a royal princess, and Swedish Prime Minister Hansen personally intervened.
