Secretary of State Rusk walked into the president's office in the White House.

The current president is no longer Kennedy.

"Don't ask what the state has done for you, but what you have done for the country."

The youngest president of the United States, who uttered this famous saying and has a stunning wife, was assassinated by two bullets on the street three months ago. Baines? Johnson succeeded him as president of the United States.

At this time, the United States and the Soviet Union, NATO and the Warsaw Pact, although they were still antagonistic, had formed a balance of power.

This balance of power is now broken by neither side of the country.

Since the United States and the Soviet Union are no longer fighting, then the eyes of the United States and the Soviet Union are nailed to China.

Originally, it was intended to use India to pry into the situation in China, but in the end, Nehru retreated, India retreated, and, it is conceivable, there will be no major movement in South Asia for a long time.

Looking around China, there is no country that can pry into China's situation, and this means that the means of pure force are useless.

If the military is not good, then the communication, anyway, China cannot be allowed to develop steadily.

The simplest and most direct way is to cut off China's oil supply, but the United States does not dare to do this method, and the United States does not dare to do it, and the Soviet Union does not dare to do it.

If the United States wanted to, the Soviet Union would agree to cooperate to cut off China's oil supplies, but once this was done, then, with the style of the Black God Army, the United States would not have much suspicion, and the entire Middle East would be involved in the war.

This consequence is something that the United States absolutely cannot afford.

If the United States did not dare to do it, then, if the Soviet Union did it alone, China would strike at the Soviet Union's power alone in the Middle East, and this would upset the balance of power between the United States and the Soviet Union.

Therefore, the USSR did not dare to do it either.

Since this method does not work, then use something else, anyway, we have to do something, and President Johnson has only been in office for a month, and he has issued an order to the State Department to do everything possible to find a way to deal with China.

Rusk came today to hand in his homework.

After reading it, President Johnson expressed satisfaction with Rusk's assignment.

"This is the common meaning of the United States and the Soviet Union." A fine bead of sweat appeared on Song Ziwen's forehead.

With a civilized stick in his hand and a straight waist, Chiang Kai-shek closed his eyes.

Song Meiling, Song Ziwen, and Kong Xiangxi all looked at Chiang Kai-shek.

After a while, Chiang Kai-shek opened his eyes and asked, "Isn't it okay on Taiwan Island?" ”

Shaking his head, Song Ziwen said: "Americans think that Taiwan Island is too small and far away from the mainland, so it has no impact. ”

Chiang Kai-shek closed his eyes again.

At this time, Song Meiling said: "Darling, doing this thing has no impact on us, but if we don't do it, it will have a big impact." ”

"Yes, Madame, you're right." Kong Xiangxi hurriedly followed.

Song Ziwen said again: "Commission, now we are profiting from all directions, if we don't do it, then the United States and the Soviet Union only need to jam us a little, and the loss will be great." ”

Kong Xiangxi said: "Commission, Ziwen is right, no matter how much the Black God Army has opinions on us, it is impossible for the business to be broken, but the United States and the Soviet Union are different." ”

The opinion of these three people is also the opinion of the entire chaebol, Chiang Kai-shek sighed softly and said, "Okay. ”

――――

On 19 July 1964, the Hubei Provincial Assembly voted 234 in favor and 17 against to approve a motion jointly sponsored by 137 members, including Luo Fazhong and Jiang Weiliang, on the issuance of the province's currency.

After the proposal was passed, some big figures in Hubei Province began to be worried, such as Governor Zhang Lizhong, Speaker of the Provincial Assembly Li Dayun and others.

A country should have only one currency, and the coexistence of dragon and phoenix currency and fiat currency is a special circumstance, and whether it is dragon and phoenix currency or fiat currency, the current operation is very good, and there is no need for each autonomous province to issue a separate currency.

Although the autonomy law does not prohibit provinces from issuing currency independently, the facts are clear that if the provinces issue currency alone, they are sabotage and sinners of the state.

Hubei was the first to jump out and take the lead in doing so, which was not only threatened, but also lured.

This is the case whether it is a province in Hubei Province or individual people such as Zhang Lizhong and Li Dayun.

It is not difficult to find out the inside story of this matter, if the Black God Army wants to punish them and treat them as Han annihilation, then ...... It's miserable!

Thinking of the horrific and brutal way in which the Black God Army disposed of Han Annihilation, these people couldn't sleep all night long.

After a while, three days passed, and the Black God Army finally reacted, and the Black God newspaper published an editorial: "Why did China send out the Han Dynasty? 》

The editorial believes that the reason why there is Han annihilation must be because there are external enemies, and the reason why there have been external enemies for a long time is because China has been too rich and gluttonous for a long time, so it has always been coveted, occupied, and robbed by others.

The main point of the editorial is twofold.

One of the key points is to analyze the reason why Han Jian was able to gain a foothold in China, and one of its characteristics is that it is necessary to erase the reasonable and superior surnames of Chinese culture, and it is necessary to emphasize the irreplaceable and unsurpassed advanced surnames of foreign culture in black and white, otherwise, Han Jian's own legal surname will be wiped out.

In this regard, the editorial specifically pointed to a recently published book called "The Ugly Chinese", believing that this book is a textbook for all Han annihilation to defend themselves.

Of course, this is not the only one that defends Han Jian's legal surname.

The second key point is to point out that it was not the national reading power that there was Han Jian, but now that the country has reading power, there are still a large number of Han Jianjian who are frantically betraying national interests.

This editorial did not stir up too many waves, and many people understood that this is not a time of war, and the Black God Army cannot be unscrupulous, and everything you do now must be done according to the set rules, otherwise, the Black God Army will lose its trust to the people.

In a word, it is not illegal for provinces to issue currency.

The issuance of currency in the provinces is beneficial to only a few, but it is precisely these few who have the power to issue money or not.

So, suddenly, like a night of spring breeze, colorful everywhere.

――――

In fact, as soon as the Americans made a move, the Black God Army and [***] knew about it, earlier than Chiang Kai-shek knew.

This is a loophole, and no one could have imagined that the consequences of this leak would be so serious.

If all autonomous provinces issue currency, the consequences will be too heavy, not to mention others, a country has more than a dozen currencies at the same time, and ordinary people know that it is not good when they think about it.

Even if these currencies can work well, they will also greatly increase the cost of running the whole country, not to mention, how can these currencies work well?

The indiscriminate issuance and depreciation of a currency will not only affect the people of this province, but will also spread outward, which may cause turmoil in the whole country.

It's a very simple truth, and everyone understands it, so almost everyone thinks it has to be stopped.

At this time, someone in Han Yuan's staff group put forward a different opinion.

At least 200 members of the staff group are dedicated to the study of the Western economy, and their research covers all aspects of the Western economy, including stocks, futures, gold, currency, and so on.

In London, New York and other major Western cities, every day people send all kinds of information back as soon as possible.

As soon as the opinion was put forward, it was first endorsed by the overwhelming majority of the people in the Staff Committee.

More than half of the staff members were [***] members, and this opinion was submitted to both Han Lihong and the Party Central Committee at the same time.

In fact, the Black God Army and [***] have already completed the fusion, the Black God Army has made [***] dilute the ideological color, and [***] has strengthened the organizational surname of the Black God Army, and the fusion of the two is perfect.

Soon, the Black God Army and [***] came to an agreement.

――――

On January 11, 1965, when the autonomous provinces did not reach a consensus, the negotiations finally broke down, and the Black God Army, on behalf of the north, announced that the trade between the north and the south would only accept dragon and phoenix coins, gold and silver, and not even US dollars.

This decision in the north did not have a great impact on the autonomous provinces and the Chiang Kai-shek clique, where the currency was originally circulated in their respective regions.

This decision affects the United States.

North-South trade, the North is an absolute surplus, with a ratio of trade volume of more than five to one.

The reason why this is so is because the north is not only the raw material base of the south, but also provides medium and high-end products that cannot be produced in the south, and the low-end products produced in large quantities in the south are mostly produced in the north.

In the past, the South basically used the dollars earned from export products to buy things in the North, but now the North does not want dollars, and for the South, it is an additional procedure, exchanging the dollars in hand for gold, and then paying to the North.

More dollars and less gold, that's inevitable.

In October 1961, in order to maintain the exchange rate of the US dollar and reduce the loss of gold reserves, the United States, together with Britain, Switzerland, France, West Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, and Belgium, established a gold treasury, and the central banks of the eight countries took out a total of $270 million in gold, with the Bank of England as the agent of the gold treasury, responsible for maintaining the price of gold in London and adopting various means to prevent foreign politicians from using US dollars to exchange foreign exchange for gold in the United States.

It is precisely this point that the Black God Army has taken revenge on the United States with this means.

Washington's bigwigs are in trouble.

Whether it is raw materials or mid-to-high-end products, South China is extremely dependent on North China, and no country can replace it, and neither can the United States, unless the United States is willing to bear the price difference.

There is no doubt that this is simply impossible.

On this issue, Washington has sent a special envoy to communicate with the Chiang Kai-shek clique, claiming that if the North does not export raw materials and products, it will be impossible for the North to hold on for a long time, but from Chiang Kai-shek to those chaebols, they all refused without discussion.

If you don't agree to the exchange, not to mention that the currency issued by the autonomous provinces will die, even the fiat currency of the Chiang Kai-shek clique will be dealt a big blow, and more importantly, this attack not only did not hurt the Black God Army, but gave the Black God Army a good opportunity to further expand its influence in the autonomous provinces.

The expansion of the influence of the Black God Army means that the influence of the United States is weakened.

Agreeing to the exchange would further exacerbate the dollar's woes.

The Black God Army, it's so hateful!

――――

Here comes the Prime Minister.

Han Lihong is very happy, once he sees the prime minister, Han Lihong is happy once.

The prime minister is sixty-seven years old, and he is still in good health, in good spirits, and his eyes are always so bright.

The prime minister is in good health, and there is nothing in the world that makes Han Lihong feel happier than this.

The Prime Minister is here for the Malay Peninsula.

The original agreement with the British was not to interfere in the affairs of the Malay Peninsula, and the Black God Army kept its promise as always, but the Black God Army did not interfere and would not prevent others from interfering.

This other person is the gangster, and the gangster wants to establish another gangster republic in the Malay Peninsula.

The British played the divide-and-rule method perfectly, and they let the Chinese do business in the Malay Peninsula and let the Malays serve as soldiers.

In this way, after reading the Malay Peninsula, it is naturally the Malays who have the final say.

The worst thing about the British is not this.

The British want to give the Malay Peninsula their civilization, and after the Malay Peninsula reads the power, whoever speaks will have to count the heads, but in the Malay Peninsula, the Chinese are more numerous than the Malays, and the British hope that the Malays will completely suppress the Chinese.

So, as early as 46 years, the British began to plot to carve Singapore out of the Malay Peninsula and become a separate direct colony.

In this way, the Chinese in Singapore are separated from the Chinese in the Malay Peninsula, and the Malays are given an excuse to kick Singapore out of the Malay Peninsula.

Kick Singapore out of the Malay Peninsula, and the population of the Malays in the country of Reading Power will exceed the population of the Chinese.

Of course, the gangsters did not allow such schemes, and their aim was either to gain an advantage for the Chinese in the Malay Peninsula or to establish a Chinese state, including Singapore.

In the last life, because the Malays had guns in their hands and the support of the British, Singapore was kicked out by a unanimous vote, and was forced to become a country.

Regarding Southeast Asia, Han Lihong's attitude is to go with the flow, as long as he doesn't make a big fuss, he won't interfere if he can.

After listening to the prime minister, Han Lihong said, "Listen to you." ”

――――

In June 1965, the Malays suddenly discovered that there were many big men with Black God assault rifles in the area inhabited by the Chinese.

These big men panicked when they looked at them.

The Fist is always the biggest, and the Malays were quick to make a choice between building Malaysia, including Singapore, or building Malaysia for the Malays.

On September 11, 1965, the Republic of Nanyang was established; In the same year, on September 22, Malaysia was established.

Although the population of the Chinese exceeds that of the Malays, the Republic of Nanyang occupies only two-fifths of the land.

On 27 September, the Nanyang Republic held an election, and out of the 147 seats in the National Assembly, the temporarily formed Xuanyuan Party won 125 seats, and Wang Jiadong, chairman of the Xuanyuan Party, was elected as the first prime minister of the Nanyang Republic.

The Lee DAP won 11 seats and was the second largest party in Parliament.

Han Lihong didn't have a good impression of Li at all, so he ignored him at all.

The Nanyang Republic is not a gangster republic, but it also allows the existence of gangsters.

――――

On March 17, 1971, Egyptian President Anwar Sadat visited Saudi Arabia.

Egypt and Saudi Arabia are leaders of the Arab world, and this time, Sadat's visit to Saudi Arabia is for the purpose of China and to buy weapons from China.

The United States supports Israel, and as a sworn enemy of the United States, the Soviet Union should naturally support Egypt.

During the Third Middle East War that broke out in '67, the war was deliberately provoked by the Soviet Union, which was provoked to bomb Israel's nuclear facilities, but the Soviet Union did not achieve its goal, so it immediately withdrew and allowed Israel to attack.

As a result, the war ended in six days, with Israel winning and Arabs defeated.

The war brought great humiliation to the Arab world, especially Egypt.

President Nasser died three years later.

Egypt has been in turmoil since the Third Middle East War, with an economic downturn that requires reform, but the shame of defeat must be overcome before any reform can be undertaken.

Egypt's economy was already in disarray, and Sadat sensed that the reforms he was about to implement would inevitably be unpopular among some Egyptians, and that a military victory would give him universal support among the people.

To wage war and wash away the shame is the desire of the Egyptians, especially the youth, and if there is no war and no victory, there is no hope for Egypt.

However, war requires weapons, and it requires a lot of sophisticated weapons.

The United States supplied Israel with the most sophisticated offensive weapons, but the Soviet Union was half-hearted.

Over the years, the Soviet Union wanted to ease relations with the United States, so it repeatedly sacrificed the interests of the Arabs.

When former President Nasser visited Moscow, Nasser pleaded with Moscow's top brass and declared that if the Soviets refused to provide weapons, he would return to Egypt to announce to the Egyptian people that the Soviets had abandoned them, and in turn ask the United States for support, so that the United States would gain the upper hand in the region.

Since the Soviet Union could not accept the US intervention in Egypt, it was finally forced to agree to provide Egyptian air defense missiles to defend the border.

Nasser did not notice China, but Sadat did.

Egypt and China have long established diplomatic relations, but they are mediocre because China is rarely involved in the struggle between the United States and the Soviet Union, except for high-profile claims that it does not establish diplomatic relations with Israel.

Through the ambassadors of the two countries, Sadat expressed his willingness to buy weapons to China, but China refused, however, the refusal was not very resolute, and it seems that there is still room for negotiation.

In the Arab world, China has the best relations with Saudi Arabia, so Sadat personally went to Saudi Arabia and asked Saudi King Faisal to mediate.

King Faisal agreed to Sadat's request, but he was unsure.

In fact, the relationship between Saudi Arabia and China is not as close as the outside world thinks, and the two sides are more of a relationship of equal cooperation and mutual benefit.

In the Saudis' view, China is not a country that can help or threaten them, only the United States and the Soviet Union, and China has never shown any intention to do so.

As soon as President Sadat left, King Faisal sent his envoy to China. A few days later, the envoy returned and said that China had agreed, and that it was extremely simple.

King Faisal was very pleased.

China has just rejected Sadat, and he sent someone to say it, which will give him a lot of face in the entire Arab world.
