Chapter 515: Two Elections

The return of Hong Kong, China's territory was fully restored, except for some territorial disputes between the northwest and the Soviet Union, Tibet and Britain, all major issues have been resolved, and this control is not comparable to the previous dynasties, the area controlled by the Chinese dynasties is mostly centered on the Yangtze River and the Yellow River, blocked by the plateau to the west, and the grassland region to the north, which is mostly the strategic buffer zone of the Central Plains and nomads.

The Central Plains is strong and can occupy more, the Central Plains will be controlled by the nomadic tribe if the power is weak, the competition between you and me has been more than thousands of years, this situation has continued until the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the Manchu Eight Banners are too few people, have to pull Mongolia as an ally, the control of the princes of Outer Mongolia is very limited, as for the southwest and Tibet is in the hands of the local forces, the court has only one name, and even rebellions will break out from time to time.

Nowadays, China's control over the border areas can be described as unprecedentedly stronger, except for Tibet, all provinces have built railway lines, the whole country is linked, the army can be quickly mobilized throughout the country, and the communication capacity is much stronger than before, as long as there is a little situation, the first time can be reported, in the face of modern technology, the ancients' 800 miles of urgency is too slow.

China's entire border guards also have more than 300,000 people, and they have firmly guarded more than 10 million square kilometers of sacred territory, not only on land, but also at sea, the Yellow Sea, the East China Sea, and the South China Sea have all become China's inland seas, and through the Ryukyu Islands, the Chinese Navy has direct access to the Pacific Ocean.

At present, the Chinese Navy has a total of three large fleets and one task force, namely the South China Sea Fleet, the East China Sea Fleet, the North Sea Fleet, the South China Sea Fleet has two large aircraft carriers, and also has the largest submarine formation, which is China's largest maritime force, and the second largest is the East China Sea Fleet, which is currently mainly guarding the Ryukyus, and will become the core and main force of China's Pacific Fleet in the future. Now it's still defensive. When the large aircraft carriers of the Chinese Navy are completed, this one will certainly be greatly strengthened.

Because the enemies that the East China Sea Fleet has to face are too strong, one is the old enemy Japan, and the other is the United States, you must know that after leaving the Ryukyus, you will encounter the American base in Guam, according to the assessment. The East China Sea Fleet needs at least three aircraft carriers, one against Japan in the north, one against the United States in the east, and the remaining one as a reserve, of course, China does not have this strength at present, and it is also on the defensive against the Ryukyus.

The other fleet is the North Sea Fleet. The base of this fleet is in Vladivostok, and it is mainly responsible for the maritime security of the outer northeast region, and the main opponent to deal with is Japan, but in the future, this fleet will develop into the North Pacific Fleet, so that China can embrace the Pacific Ocean in two ways.

As for the future of the South China Sea Fleet, it is actually very clear, that is, after taking control of Malacca, this fleet will be upgraded to the Indian Ocean Fleet, and China will control South Asia and the Middle East. and even an important tool on the coast of Africa.

The last task force was arranged in Korea. On the one hand, it is to strengthen control over North Korea, and on the other hand, it is also to protect the security of the Beijing-Tianjin region. It can be said that the prototype of China's oceanic navy has already begun to appear, and the next step is to expand the number of ships and enhance its combat effectiveness.

It has been more than two years since the entire economic crisis developed, and the economies of the United States, Germany, Britain, France, Italy, and other countries have all suffered a fatal blow, and the small countries that depend on them have also come to a miserable end and are struggling in the quagmire.

China, the Soviet Union in this crisis not only did not receive losses, but also a large number of new technology introduced, the degree of industrialization is getting higher and higher, the national strength is getting stronger and stronger, Stalin is indeed a capable figure, the Soviet Union's industrial development speed is not much lower than China, of course, this development is also at the expense of the people, with great risks.

A large number of conflicts broke out in the Soviet Union, and the common people valued more the tangible benefits in front of them than those vague slogans, and the Soviet rule made their food crisis more and more serious, and a large number of peasants were struggling on the brink of starvation.

China also took advantage of this opportunity to smuggle grain to the Soviet Union through the Far Eastern Republics, and Chita became the largest black market in the Far East for a time, where Chinese grain and light industrial goods were transported and then to the Soviet Union, and in exchange, Soviet gold and silver, ore, timber, and even jewelry were transported to China.

In this smuggling operation, a large number of fallen masters accumulated the first fortune and became the richest group in the northwest region.

Originally, Japan was also in a deep crisis, there was absolutely no chance of luck, but they occupied Borneo, a large number of resources were transported to the country, and the development of new land required a lot of investment, Japan's chaebol also saw the business opportunities, a large amount of money to Borneo, Japan's economy finally got rid of the impact of the crisis, since the Sino-Japanese war, Japan's economy for the first time showed signs of rapid growth.

A large number of people from the country have migrated to Borneo, and these immigrants also need food and drink, and there is a huge business opportunity, and Japan has finally rearmed itself to a considerable extent from the effects of the economic crisis with strong demand.

No matter how serious the crisis is, there will finally be a bottom, and after entering 1932, the crisis finally reached a peak, and there began to be signs of peak and loop, but the crisis of the past few years has made everyone frightened, and everyone is not sure whether there will be a turnaround.

It's an election year, and the American people urgently need to elect a hero who can lead them out of the economic crisis, and the Democratic candidate, New York City Mayor Roosevelt, has become the first choice in everyone's minds.

Roosevelt himself was a disabled person and could only rely on a wheelchair to move, this defect did not affect Roosevelt, on the contrary, many people seemed to see a real inspirational drama from him, especially Roosevelt's various actions during his tenure as mayor, which gave him a lot of points.

After the outbreak of the Great Depression, Roosevelt began to try to increase government investment, provide jobs for the unemployed, and sign an agreement with China to export skilled workers.

This has become his campaign policy, and the only thing we fear is fear itself! This sonorous and powerful statement has allowed the confused Americans to find a way out, whether it is correct or not, the Americans must try.

Roosevelt's opponent was Republican Herbert Hoover, the president who lived in the White House in 29 years did not offer any effective solution to the crisis, but allowed it to deepen. The winning and losing dynamics have become very clear.

Roosevelt defeated Hoover by a wide margin. He became the 32nd president of the United States, and during his election, the Chinese side also provided a considerable amount of political contributions, and this kind of money and power trading is also a habit in the United States.

China's investment must also have sufficient returns, that is, the US government should appropriately relax on the basis of technological exchanges, and this exchange is also very willing of Roosevelt. Being able to carry out economic cooperation with China will play a great role in helping the United States get out of the economic crisis.

Before Roosevelt's election, Germany was also undergoing great changes, and after the economic crisis, Hitler and his Nazi Party swelled rapidly, with a total membership of more than one million within two years. It has become a powerful national party and has the strength to win a majority of seats in parliament.

At this time, the German president was still the old general Hindenburg in the First World War era, and in 1925 Hindenburg became the president of the Weimar Republic, in fact, for Hindenburg, the First World War was always a pain in his heart, at this time Wilhelm II also took refuge in the Netherlands, as an old Prussian soldier, the loyalty to the Hohenzollern family is well known. But the old Hindenburg could no longer do anything. can only maintain the last dignity of the country.

Hindenburg looked down on Hitler and only saw him as a clown. In 1932, Hindenburg and Hitler participated in the presidential election at the same time, and Hindenburg received more than half of the votes in the second round of voting by virtue of his high prestige, and Hitler received 38 percent of the votes.

There is no doubt that Hitler has become the second person in the minds of the German people, and what is even worse is that Hindenburg was 85 years old at this time, a complete old age, under the pressure of all parties, Hindenburg had to appoint Hitler as chancellor, and Hitler also appeared on the stage of history.

On the eve of the re-election, Hitler single-handedly directed the Reichstag arson, eradicating the opponents of the Nazi Party in one fell swoop, and at the same time instructed Hindenburg to abolish the democracy of the Weimar Republic, and the Nazi Party became the only political party in Germany.

At this time, Hitler also showed enough respect for this big man in World War I, you must know that Hindenburg was a marshal in World War I, while Hitler was just a corporal, the gap between the two is simply worlds apart, and it cannot be compared, but more than ten years later, Hitler has become a big man second only to Hindenburg.

In Hitler's mind, he just waited for Hindenburg to be eliminated naturally, and then all the power of Germany would naturally fall into his hands, without any obstacles.

China has paid great attention to the two elections in the United States and Germany, and Qiao Yu is also very aware of it, the main actors in World War II have appeared one after another, Hitler, Roosevelt, Stalin, and Mussolini, as for Churchill, the big fat man is still dormant, and Hideki Tojo also emerged in the campaign against Borneo, because of his brutality, he earned the nickname of razor.

Qiao Yu sent a warm congratulatory message to Hitler and Roosevelt, in addition to expressing heartfelt congratulations, but also talked about the friendship between China and Germany, China and the United States, Hitler and Roosevelt also called back very politely, for China, a huge potential market, everyone coveted.

After Hitler replied, he couldn't wait to deliver a tirade, enthusiastically praising the economic and trade cooperation between China and Germany, and at the same time expressing the idea of continuing to expand cooperation.

China and Germany have very in-depth exchanges, this time China has come up with a purchase amount of 60 million US dollars, this amount is definitely not small, as long as it is injected into the German market, it will definitely bring a lot of jobs! (To be continued.) )
