Chapter 506: The Crisis Continues

Speech is a compulsory course for Western politicians, skilled oratorical skills can attract more votes, on the level of speech, Hitler can definitely be called a rare oratory genius in the West, many of their actions may seem exaggerated in later generations, some artificial, but for the German people who are currently mired in the economic crisis is the best encouragement, the excited voice is like a sharp sword, the dark and cruel reality is crushed, and the rare hope is shown in front of all the audience.

In addition, Hitler's speech is not reasoning, but persuasion, forcing you to agree with his point of view, and the time of the speech also needs to be considered, the best time is at night, when people are most sleepy, the least vigilant, and easy to accept the ideas instilled by others.

In one speech after another, Hitler's skills became more and more skillful, and he did not hesitate to point the finger at the Treaty of Versailles, which was hated by the German people, and wantonly lashed out at the weak and incompetent government of the Weimar Republic.

All of these things cater to the psychological demands of ordinary Germans, and although the German upper echelons are still somewhat dismissive of the Nazi Party, there is no doubt that this former small local party has swelled rapidly, and Hitler is also ambitiously planning actions to attack the supreme power of the state.

For Qiao Yu, who is familiar with history, now supporting the Nazi Party is undoubtedly a very good investment, and after Hitler takes power, even if it is not an alliance with Germany, it is very worthwhile to use a period of time before World War II in exchange for enough military technology, you must know that Germany is currently the most powerful country in the world in terms of industrial technology, and after World War II, the United States and the Soviet Union still carved up German technology, and then dominated the world.

China's current industrial technology is still relatively backward among the major industrial countries, and the real fist products are still some agricultural and mineral products, and some light industrial products can gain some share in the international market by virtue of their high quality and low price, but after the outbreak of the economic crisis. The United States in order to protect its own manufacturing industry. He took the lead in raising tariffs and wanted to use trade barriers to protect the country's manufacturing industry.

However, the effect was greatly beyond the expectations of the Americans, and all countries began to raise tariffs frantically, trade barriers became more and more serious, the volume of international trade fell by 70 percent, and the trade of the United States itself also fell by 50 percent, and world trade was divided into several disconnected parts.

Britain and France each ruled over the colonies and formed an independent system. The United States controls the Americas, and China and the Soviet Union are also independent systems, and international trade has been seriously affected.

Cars, ships. Large machinery, chemical products, electronic products, etc., except for those that China cannot yet produce, the rest of the tariff levels have been raised to more than 80 percent, such as automobiles, which are more than 300 percent. Countries have had to blindly increase tariffs. to protect yourself.

"President, this stupid trick made by the Americans is really wonderful. It just provides enough excuses for China to protect its own market, and I think it should be thanks to the Americans! ”

"Prime Minister, if you want me to say that this is not that the Americans are stupid, but that they are too shrewd, these people just need the economic crisis to intensify, and the interest groups behind them have not yet eaten enough!"

In fact, the United States is currently the most powerful industrial producer in the world, has the most powerful manufacturing base, and American products are also the most competitive in the international market.

However, the Americans took the lead in implementing trade barrier measures, wielding the stick of tariffs, the meaning of which is very intriguing, Qiao Yu examined it with his own eyes, there is definitely a problem, to put it bluntly, interest groups believe that the current economic crisis is not enough, but also to make the harm greater, only in this way can greater benefits.

"In any case, even if it is a conspiracy of those conglomerates, it is a good thing for China, our own industrial level is backward, and we need high tariffs to protect our own industries, in fact, like the Soviet Union, the establishment of a completely independent operating system is the best shortcut in the early stage of industrialization!"

In fact, high tariffs are a great loss to the immediate interests of the people, so they have to spend high prices to buy low-quality domestic products, but if they do not do so, their own industry will never be able to develop.

"Prime Minister, the situation of the Soviet Union is too special, their own resources are sufficient, and their advantages are too small in addition to resources, if the market is opened, don't think about anything to develop, simply close it completely, China has its own advantages compared to the Soviet Union, and it needs international resources more, and it will never work to be completely closed!"

The gap between China and the Soviet Union is indeed very large, the cost of all products in the Soviet Union is much higher than that of other countries, and this situation can not be solved by development, the poor geographical situation is the fatal wound of the Soviet Union, and the investment in infrastructure construction is a bottomless pit, so there is no way, only to rely on the government to promote industrial construction with force, and China, as a country with superior natural conditions and abundant labor, still has a lot of advantages, the cost of products can be well controlled, and it can compete with the great powers.

Of course, relying on low prices alone is not a long-term solution, the key is to master key technologies and create cost-effective things in order to be able to occupy a place in the international market.

Fortunately, the current international trade is far less developed than in later generations, otherwise China will face more fierce competition, and it is still an era when power is right, and China can rely on strong force to forcibly establish a relatively independent trade system.

"Has the Siamese side agreed to our terms?"

After China sent the fleet to Siam, Rama VII tried to delay the payment, knowing that his little calculation was in the hands of China, so China simply put forward its own three conditions to Siam.

If the Chinese dollar is freely exchanged with the Siamese currency one-to-one, then the strong Chinese dollar is bound to become the more sought after currency of the Siamese people, and it also opens the door for China to sell goods to Siam and make investments, and China's capital power will be able to drive straight into it from then on. There was nothing bothering.

If a country's finances are controlled by a foreign country. Although it seems that China is also going to open up to Siam, how can Siam's economic power be compared with China, and as for the issue of the Sattahip garrison, it is equivalent to directly placing Siam under Chinese protection.

No matter how confused Rama VII is, he understands China's intentions, the former Celestial Empire that was willing to suffer losses has disappeared, and now China is even more greedy than Britain and France. He was also more determined and powerful, and it was only at this time that Rama VII suddenly realized that the aircraft carrier he bought back was actually a double-edged sword, a luxury to be exchanged for Siam's national sovereignty.

He had the heart to refuse, but the pressure on China was real, and even worse as the economic crisis deepened. Siam's economy is getting more and more difficult, the agricultural products have lost their markets, the workers are working in large numbers, the democrats have taken the opportunity to make waves, and the call for the abolition of the monarchy has become louder and louder.

Gu Weijun, who was in charge of negotiating with Rama VII, also knew it. The way of civil and military affairs. One by one, while forcing Siam to accept China's conditions. On the one hand, he also threw a big gift package to Rama VII, the main thing is that China will help Rama VII improve the combat effectiveness of the three armies, and the two countries can also sign an economic cooperation plan, Siam's agricultural products can be exported to China in large quantities, alleviating Siam's economic crisis.

Under this combination of hard and soft, Rama VII continued to retreat, and his attitude became more and more softened.

"President, I think the situation is almost the same, as long as you work harder, you can almost take down Siam, although Siam is not too big, but it is a piece of meat, and it is not without benefits to China's development!"

"Well, more importantly, this is the beginning of the Nanyang strategy, first take Siam, and then expand our sphere of influence little by little, and finally completely incorporate into China's territory, after this big crisis, the international order must be rewritten, and then it is time for China to show its talents!"

When there was no economic crisis, the Western world was prosperous, as if a group of flowery people were basking in the sun on the seaside, a big wave suddenly hit, who was wearing no clothes, everyone knew at a glance, now the United States is in deep crisis, but the industrial base of the two countries is there, Britain and France are barely self-preservation, but the image of recession has become more and more obvious, as for the rest of Spain, Portugal, the Netherlands, Belgium, Poland and other countries are all exposed in their original form, crumbling under the blow of the crisis.

China and the Soviet Union are the only economies in the world that are still growing, and after a round of crises, the international industrial pattern will inevitably undergo major changes.

"President, I think it's a bit early to buy the bottom of the United States, this crisis is far from bottoming, and the price to be paid in the future is bound to be smaller!"

"Prime Minister, the sooner you get your hands on something, the sooner you can play a role, and I am ready to attack the Jewish consortium and take advantage of the global anti-Semitic wave to confiscate all their property in China, and China's wealth must not be controlled by a group of greedy villains!"

Qiao Yu has been investigating the secret assets of the Jewish consortium in China, and the killing intent in his heart has become stronger and stronger, at present, there are at least more than 200 billion state property in their hands, through these wealth, the Jewish consortium can mobilize more than one trillion financial resources, this money is not controlled in the hands of China, Qiao Yu is not able to sleep!

"President, will you be too anxious, these consortia are not so easy to deal with, this big crisis is that they are making waves and acting rashly, I am afraid it will be bad for China!"

"Without further ado, it is precisely because of this crisis that a global wave of anti-Semitism has formed, and we cannot exterminate them all, we will only investigate the part before the establishment of the Republic of China, and as for what they have recently obtained through legal means, we will also protect it!"
