Chapter 324 Give back to the other in his way
It was time to talk to the Soviets, and Roosevelt made a decision.
Before meeting Stalin, the United States and Britain first had to coordinate their positions, and on December 1, 1944, Churchill arrived in Washington.
When he came to the United States, Churchill was not once in a good mood, even if there was nothing to do, as long as he saw the United States steaming, he felt extremely uncomfortable.
Because the strength of the United States also means the decline of the British Empire.
What's more, every time he came to the United States, he had to cut off a large piece of flesh from the huge but bloated body of the British Empire to give to the damned Americans.
However, the situation is stronger than people, they can no longer support the huge skeleton of the British Empire, if they want to continue to eat and drink, there is no second way to go except to cooperate with the Americans.
That's the reality.
However, fortunately, Americans do not have the appetite to eat the fundamental surname, so cooperating with the Americans will not hurt the foundation of the British Empire, Churchill believed that the Americans are nothing more than the descendants of the bandits and hooligans of the British Empire, how can they be compared with these gentlemen with good roots?
In time, the British Empire, under his wise leadership, will surely regain its former glory.
It was with this ambition that Churchill entered the White House.
It's hard to say what's going on with the stuff, but at least in terms of face, Churchill is definitely the first person in terms of the status of American diplomacy.
Roosevelt ushered Churchill into the White House with the grandest welcome ceremony and the highest level of courtesy.
They were old friends, and they were old friends.
In the large living room, Roosevelt and Churchill talked lightly, about how to divide the spheres of influence after the war, and how to deal with the demands of the Soviets...... Talking, they talked about the Chinese.
On almost all issues, Churchill and Roosevelt were on the same page, but on the question of the Chinese, Churchill and Roosevelt did not get along.
If you don't get along, there is no other, it's just a difference in interests.
In fact, Churchill disliked the Chinese more than Roosevelt, and even less liked the Chinese, but Churchill no longer liked China and would not dance with the Americans.
The first is the Hong Kong issue.
The Chinese seem to have no intention of taking back Hong Kong, and as long as there is a glimmer of hope, it will be enough to tie the hands and feet of the British Empire.
The second is the issue of Southeast Asia.
Churchill was known for being super tough, but he was afraid of the Black God Army. No, it can't be said to be afraid, it should be fearful. The Black God Army's style is like a hooligan, and he acts without scruples, but this hooligan is helpless. Even if it beats you all over the ground and looks for teeth, and the blood is flowing like a river, you are still helpless.
What's more, if the Americans get involved with the Black God Army, it will also be beneficial to the British Empire.
The Chinese played in Manchuria with such a beautiful hand that it simply played the Americans into a mess, and the Americans did not care, and immediately shot back and forth.
More than two months ago, in Brett Woods, New Hampshire, the "Brett Woods Agreement," signed by the Americans, excluded Chinese.
No, not to exclude all the Chinese, but to exclude the Chinese who do not listen to the Americans.
The Black God Army has always been eager to take revenge, wading into troubled waters with the Americans at this time, not to mention anything else, the Black God Army's special combat teams are simply terrifying, if the Black God Army sends these special combat teams to the Malay Peninsula and Indonesia after the war, it will be a matter of minutes to drive them away.
In the face of Roosevelt, Churchill showed superb diplomatic skills, and Roosevelt was helpless all the way down.
In the end, Roosevelt said helplessly: "At this meeting, I want to invite that Chiang Kai-shek over." ”
This has nothing to do with him, Churchill nodded in agreement, and at the same time said in his heart: Paralyzed, pinch, the harder the pinch, the better, it's better to strangle to death!
-- Song Meiling walked in with a spring breeze on her face.
"Madam, why are you so happy, is there anything good?" My wife is happy, and Chiang Kai-shek has been in a very good mood recently.
Originally, because of the Black God Army, Chiang Kai-shek's mood has been greasy.
The field hospital made by the Black God Army has simply become a loyal training camp for the Black God Army, but despite this, he does not dare to let the Black God Army participate in the ambulance.
Because if he dares to do this, if the ambulance after him can be about the same as before, it is not a big problem, but if it is too bad, then he will wait for the mutiny.
However, all the depression and greasy smell were swept away two months ago.
Chiang Kai-shek was in a good mood because of the signing of the Bretton Woods Agreement.
Originally, he didn't quite understand what the hell this "forest agreement" was, but after such an explanation by the person who understood, Chairman Jiang understood it, and he couldn't wait to jump into the sky.
The so-called Bretton Woods Agreement is a circle in which goods and capital can flow freely, among other benefits.
The Americans said that in the future, it will be up to him to decide whether other provinces will be allowed to enter this circle.
Even buy Karma!
No matter how much benefit the Black God Army gives, do the Americans and the British give more? In the future, those provinces that go out to read will not be allowed to kowtow to the temple gate of his house obediently!
Almighty Lord, Chairman Chiang has a black head all night.
Just now, he met with some provincial legislators in Hubei, and there are still a bunch of people waiting there.
These bastards want to bet on both ends, and both ends will not fail.
Paralyzed, how can there be such a good thing? When the benefits come, there is a time when they bow their heads completely.
Chairman Jiang is in a good mood, and his wife's face is peachy, and she is more refreshed.
When Chiang Kai-shek approached, Soong Meiling said: "Darling, just now General Marshall informed me that Roosevelt, Churchill, and Stalin were going to hold a secret meeting on the Crimean Peninsula to discuss post-war matters, and Roosevelt invited us to attend. ”
Meetings with Roosevelt, Churchill and Stalin, and ...... Also conclave!
Roosevelt, Churchill and Stalin were the three biggest giants in the world, and if he had a meeting with these three, wouldn't he be a giant too?
As soon as the words entered his ears, Chairman Jiang's beautiful soul trembled, but after thinking about it, no, he has seen through these foreign devils now, and not having a one is a good thing.
Roosevelt invited him to go, maybe what bad was he holding back?
Foreign devils are not afraid of holding back, like the "Bretton Woods Agreement", he is not afraid of holding back, as long as it is beneficial and harmless to him.
But you have to think about it.
After thinking for a while, Chiang Kai-shek said: "Madam, what do Americans mean?" ”
Sitting next to Chiang Kai-shek, Song Meiling said: "Darling, what do you mean by him, Roosevelt just wants to use us to deal with the Black God Army and [***], isn't this something we can't ask for?" ”
Chiang Kai-shek said: "Madam, we need Americans, but we can't be at the mercy of the Americans in everything, and we have to see whether things are beneficial or harmful to us?" If so, to what extent? ”
Song Meiling said: "Darling, everything we can give to the Americans has been given, the Americans just want to harm us, what can they damage us?" ”
Shaking his head, Chiang Kai-shek said: "Madam, you don't think much, the Americans will harm us as much as the entire Jiangsu-Zhejiang chaebol." ”
When Song Meiling heard this, she also calmed down, and she said, "Darling, what do you think?" ”
Chiang Kai-shek said: "Madam, first of all, in what capacity am I attending this meeting? ”
Yes, now they are at most a big warlord, Song Meiling thought for a while, and said: "Darling, even if it is harmful to us, the Americans can't do without us at the moment." ”
Chiang Kai-shek said: "Madam, the Americans don't really understand China's affairs, they think it's a small matter, but it's probably a big thing. ”
After thinking for a while, Song Meiling said: "Anyway, it's a secret meeting, and there's nothing wrong with you going in the name of the commander-in-chief of the expeditionary force." ”
Chiang Kai-shek thought about it for a long time, but he didn't come up with a reason.
――――"Lihong, this is the news we have gotten. "The prime minister gave Han Lihong a top-secret document.
After reading it, Han Lihong put down the document and asked, "Sir, what does Mr. Mao think?" ”
"The chairman thinks it's a spoils meeting. ”
Nodding, Han Lihong said: "Roosevelt got Chiang Kai-shek, what did the Americans plan?" ”
The Prime Minister said: "The Chairman judged that Roosevelt may have used Chiang Kai-shek as a medium to strengthen cooperation with the Soviets and jointly deal with us; Also, they felt that the opportunity had come, so they put the news out there, hoping that we would react violently. ”
Nodding, Han Lihong smiled and said, "Sir, then we will give gift flowers when they divide the spoils." ”
The prime minister smiled and said, "That's what the chairman meant." ”
Seeing that the prime minister was a little speechless, Han Lihong said, "Sir, do you have anything to say?" ”
The prime minister nodded and said, "Yes." ”
Han Lihong said: "Then you say." ”
The prime minister said: "Lihong, there are different opinions in the party about the steel joint company you are proposing to establish. ”
The iron and steel joint company mentioned by the prime minister was proposed by Han Lihong to establish a huge iron and steel complex, and to integrate all the iron and steel enterprises under his control and the iron and steel enterprises confiscated by Han Jian in the northeast.
In this iron and steel enterprise, Han Lihong asked for a controlling stake.
In fact, the steel enterprises controlled by Han Lihong accounted for only a quarter of the total capital compared with those confiscated in the northeast.
As far as this matter itself is concerned, Han Lihong's request is obviously unreasonable, however, between the Black God Army and [***], the account is not such an algorithm, but people are like this, thousands of people have thousands of faces, thousands of faces and thousands of hearts.
Han Lihong said: "Sir, although I ask for a controlling stake, the income is only one-third. ”
Looking at Han Lihong, the prime minister said, "You still don't feel at ease." ”
Han Lihong became serious and said, "Sir, most of you [***] people are passionate people with lofty ideals, and I respect them very much. Passion has great power, and doing the right thing has great effects, but doing the wrong thing can do just as much harm. ”
The prime minister's gaze was deep and endless, and he said: "So, you also pulled them all into the northeast in the name of uniting the provinces." ”
The prime minister saw through him, and saw through that what he cared about was not the unity of the provinces, nor the alliance of the United States and the Soviet Union, and the fear that they would do something wrong was the most important worry in his heart.
The Prime Minister has a peculiar feeling.
Han Lihong said: "Sir, economic integration is the most powerful means of substantive unification of the country, and it will also be a constraint on some improper practices. ”
The prime minister smiled and said, "Lihong, there is one more question. ”
Han Lihong said: "What is the problem, you say." ”
The prime minister said: "The construction of the new countryside has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, but in the northeast, although there are some industries, it is far from enough. Primitive accumulation is required to build the industrial base of the country, but our primitive accumulation ......" Speaking of this, the prime minister sighed and said: "It can only come out of agriculture." ”
The foundation of the construction of the new countryside is the rich peasants, but if the rich peasants are to be made, they have to sacrifice the speed of the country's overall industrial construction, and the country's overall industrial construction speed must be sacrificed, and then the hope of catching up with the Western powers will not know how long or long it will take, and if we cannot narrow the gap with the foreign powers as soon as possible, we will still inevitably be constrained by the foreign powers everywhere.
Obviously, Han Lihong's extortion everywhere and the rich man's nest in the capital can only maintain the jurisdiction of the Black God Army at most, and it is not a long-term solution.
After pondering for a moment, Han Lihong said, "Sir, I can solve the problem of primitive accumulation. ”
The prime minister was stunned, he did not believe that Han Lihong did not know the meaning of "primitive accumulation".
After a while, the prime minister asked, "Lihong, how do you solve it?" ”
Han Lihong said, "Sir, don't ask about this. ”
The prime minister already knew Han Lihong very well, and he knew that Han Lihong wanted to go the wrong way again, so he didn't want him to know.
But what crooked path can get such a huge primitive accumulation? The prime minister was extremely curious and asked, "Lihong, you can say it, no problem." ”
Han Lihong said, "Sir, I can't say. ”
Obviously, this crooked door is not an ordinary crooked, and the evil way is not an ordinary evil.
-- Shenyang is covered in silver, and the joy of the New Year is full of every mountain, every river, every village and town, every street and every person's face.
Trains carrying bags of rice and white flour pass through the vast land, and the rice and white noodles are scattered into thousands of households in the white three black waters.
During the Chinese New Year this year, every household can eat rice and white noodles.
After the outbreak of the Pacific War, it was said that people in the Northeast were not allowed to eat rice and white noodles, and eating rice and white noodles was an economic criminal, and they had to be arrested and poured chili water on the tiger bench.
In Changchun, a person was hit by a car and died, and the second dog came to take a look, and the deceased vomited rice, and as a result, the family of the deceased also fell into a lawsuit.
Now, the little devil is out, [***] is here.
The joy of one person is not easy to move people, but the joy of millions of people will surely touch everyone.
When the prime minister arrived in Shenyang, there was a lot of laughter in the large conference room.
The prime minister's return this time is mainly for the sake of rural issues.
It is best to keep the policy unchanged, especially if it is a fundamental policy that is related to the foundation of the country, such as the rural policy.
As a matter of fact, the Secretariat of the CPC Central Committee has reached a consensus on the policy of the rural areas: relying on the rural areas to carry out the primitive accumulation of the country's industry.
There is no way around this, and there is no way to solve it except this road.
The reason why the prime minister had to come back to make the final decision was purely out of respect for the Black God Army's respect for Han Lihong.
Mr. Zhu asked: "Enlai, what did Lihong say about the rural affairs?" ”
After a deep sigh, the prime minister said: "Lihong hopes that we will also carry out the construction of a new countryside, and he will solve the problem of primitive industrial accumulation." ”
Including Taizu, everyone was stunned.
Ren Bishi asked, "How did he solve it?" ”
The prime minister said: "He didn't say it. After a pause, he explained, "It's not the right way, but he's confident." ”
It would be shocking if Han Lihong could really solve it, but is there still one less thing that Han Lihong has shocked the world? Therefore, although he didn't have any ideas if he wanted to break his head, no one would question Han Lihong rashly.
No one spoke.
Looking at everyone, Taizu asked and smiled: "It seems that things have changed, what do you think, tell me." ”
Mr. Zhu said: "I think I should believe in Lihong." ”
Ren Bishi said: "The Black God Army is worthy of our trust, but this matter is too important, once it is decided, it will be difficult to turn back." ”
At this time, Taizu said to [***]: "Shaoqi, what do you see? ”
[***] was about to speak, when the staff came in and said that Deng Gong had arrived.
In addition to the prime minister, it was Deng Gong who had the deepest deal with the Black God Army, so he called Deng Gong back from Qinghai this time.
After Deng Gong sat down, the prime minister briefly explained the matter.
After hearing this, Deng Gong frowned and said, "Chairman, I may know how they are going to carry out the primitive accumulation of industry. ”
"Oh!" Taizu said: "Xiaoping, you can talk about it." ”
Deng Gongdao: "Opium." ”
The prime minister said, "What's going on? ”
Deng Gongdao: "In recent years, Gansu has been growing opium, and the area is very large. ”
Everyone was stunned.
The land in Gansu is fertile, but due to poor transportation, the grain and other materials produced cannot be transported, so the common people are very poor, and later began to grow opium.
Deng Gong explained: "Mr. Han wants this matter to be kept secret, so I haven't mentioned it. ”
Mr. Zhu said: "Lihong will never sell opium in China, he must want to sell it to the United States." ”
Nodding, Deng Gong said: "It is true that the opium harvested over the years is already a huge amount, but as far as I know, the opium has been hoarded and not sold at all." ”
A little confused, Ren Bishi asked, "Can opium alone solve our primitive accumulation?" ”
No one here is clear about this question.
They don't know, but some people know that there are a lot of talents, and there are naturally people who are proficient in this area.
To understand this problem, Li Kenong is naturally the most suitable person.
Three days later, Li Kenong's secret report was submitted to the Secretariat of the Central Committee.
In the report, Li Kenong did not give a picture of how big the drug transaction was, but there was one thing that shocked the five secretaries: the opium purchased from the peasants, after being refined, was shipped to the United States, and the difference was at least 4,000 times.
What is this concept?
Farmers grow opium at a higher rate than other crops, and even if calculated at the same level, that acre of land is equivalent to 4,000 acres.
Of course, the account can't be counted like this, the drugs are shipped to the United States, and then sold, and only a part of the profits can go to the Black God Army.
But even then, it's staggering.
No one has any more opinions, and the policy is decided.
With the determination of the new rural construction policy, the opinions of other parties who cooperated with the Black God Army were also gone, and even if they were, they were suppressed.
