Chapter 657: Three Stabs in a Row (1)

Gu Weijun was a little strange, before the visit, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs had submitted a very detailed report on various governments and domestic political forces, and it stands to reason that Yang Qiu should know very well what kind of banner this is, not to mention that he has repeatedly asked the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and intelligence departments to pay attention to the movements of this Socialist Workers' Party, how can there be such a reaction?

Fortunately, the loss of consciousness was only a momentary thing, and after Miao Luo got out of the car, Yang Qiu had already recovered as usual and walked towards the city hall.

Brüning's eyes were sharp, noticing this subtle movement, and he pulled a thin man over: "Mr. President, please allow me to introduce you." This is the mayor of Hamburg, Mr. Graeme, who is a member of the National Workers' Party, and the flag you have just seen was hung by him to express the party's appreciation for your visit. ”

"I have long heard that Chapter 657 stabbed three times in a row (1) Your party has been committed to the development of people's livelihood, but I didn't expect to pay so much attention to Yang's visit, thank you."

Grim seemed pleased, shook hands with Miaolo and said, "As mayor, I would like to thank you for making Hamburg the first stop on your visit, everyone here is looking forward to your arrival." As a member of the Workers' Party, it is a great honour for me to meet you, Mr. Adolf has always admired your past work, and has mentioned you several times at rallies that he is in Berlin and would very, very well hope to meet you as soon as possible. ”

Yang Qiu was slightly surprised, he remembered that there seemed to be no plan to meet Hitler in the itinerary, could it be that he glanced at Brüning, who immediately explained: "Mr. Adolf has been included in the invitation list for the industrial and commercial meeting. ”

"Oh." Yang Qiu suddenly felt like laughing. Because he did not expect Hitler to meet him, and even mixed into the list of the Federation of Industry and Commerce for this reason, the funniest thing is that Brüning actually generously allowed the opposition parties to swagger to attend foreign affairs activities that only the government can participate in, which shows how chaotic the current German political scene is.

See you. Although he had long wanted to meet Roosevelt and Hitler, he was president. To put it mildly, those people are not qualified enough except for Chapter 657 and stabbing three times in a row (one) unless it is deliberately arranged. And he can't just go to see them during a foreign visit, because this will leave people with the suspicion of interfering in the politics of other countries, and on the contrary, it will cause dissatisfaction.

As soon as he arrived in Germany, he received the news that Hitler wanted to see him, which made him somewhat absent-minded during the following drinking party. However, the enthusiasm of all walks of life in Germany has not diminished because of his mood, on the contrary, they have taken this opportunity to get closer to each other, hoping to get a share of the 470 million market.

Yang Qiu did not disappoint them, although he has not yet met Hindenburg and cannot announce what cooperation will be, but he still expressed his desire to strengthen Sino-German cooperation during his tenure. In particular, after naming the Bavarian Mechanical Engineering Works, Krupp AG and other enterprises as world technology leaders, it makes people smell the smell of big contracts.

Yang Qiu's arrival in Germany sparked a fever in the European continent, and when all countries were paying attention to his every move, Britain was quite dissatisfied with him bypassing Britain and visiting Germany first.

"Can I speak ill of him?"

In the afternoon, the atmosphere at 10 Downing Street was relaxed, and although the economic crisis made life difficult, it did not affect the British people's habit of drinking afternoon tea. Foreign Secretary Arthur. Henderson sat on the couch, holding milk tea in one hand and a newspaper in the other. Seeing the news full of news about Yang Qiu's visit to Europe, he scratched his eyebrows and smiled bitterly at Prime Minister MacDonald beside him: "This guy has become a big star." ”

After MacDonald formed a government for the second time, he implemented a strict economic control policy, so that Britain did not suffer much loss, which also made it popular with many people. But as China and the United States approached, Britain felt the pressure, especially the news that Yang Qiu threw out nearly 4 billion orders and got the US government's agreement to exchange the unexpired $2 billion treasury bonds, which made the British Empire feel a little cool.

Therefore, MacDonald was also quite dissatisfied with Yang Qiu's trip, and those who know a little about economics know what a terrible shock wave it will have on the European economy if the matter of converting US Treasury bonds is expanded! So he's been worried lately, asking, "Arthur, are Americans really ready to open up their own exchange of government bonds?" ”

Henderson shrugged his shoulders helplessly: "I have sent a note to the Americans, but they have ignored my advice. Hoover seems to have made up his mind for an open exchange and will submit a proposal to senators in three days. According to the situation, the probability of passing will be very high. ”

"Shit! These damned nouveau riche, are they trying to ruin Europe? Hearing that the United States did not accept the proposal and was determined to open up the "free" exchange of treasury bonds, MacDonald couldn't help but burst into foul language. The impact of this incident is just too great! You must know that at present, the treasury bonds of various countries do not want to exchange money before they mature, so once the United States opens up the "free" exchange, it means that the US Treasury bonds in the hands of many countries and individuals can be realized. That much cash can't be used directly, but it can be used to buy American goods. Now the United States is in the worst moment in history, and domestic goods and machines are almost half sold and half given. Originally, everyone could only look at the "robbery" behavior of China and the Soviet Union to reap the benefits, because they couldn't come up with enough cash, but after the national bonds can be realized in advance, it is strange that these guys do not rush to buy them.

So, who would want British goods? How much of a market can be held up by the African and Indian colonies, which have extremely poor purchasing power? As for Canada and Australia, which have good purchasing power but have autonomy, they will surely immediately throw themselves into the arms of the United States!

Seeing him frowning, Henderson was helpless, and the relationship between Britain and the United States had fallen to a freezing point after the Lebanese Peace Conference, otherwise the United States would not have withdrawn from the League of Nations. At a time when the United States is desperate to expand exports, any act of protecting trade will be seen as a containment of the United States, which is why Yang Qiu will be so popular after his arrival. One has commodities, the other has money and a market, so it's strange not to be embarrassed.

Since he said it, he didn't care about saying the bad news all at once, and continued: "Mr. Prime Minister, in addition to China and the United States, I think we should pay more attention to the changes in Najd and the Saudi family!" ”

"House of Saud?" MacDonald was shocked, what happened to them?

Henderson said: "I went to meet Alexander in Whitehall just now, and he told me that the Admiralty has recently received a lot of information that the activities of the Saudi family are very frequent, and the family members frequently visit countries such as Persia and Turkey, and they also attended Yang Qiu's inauguration, and sent a special envoy to the United States two days ago. Alexander argues that after we recognize that the House of Saud has jurisdiction over Najd and Hejaz, they can't wait to build the state.

Alexander also told me that after Yang Qiu's last visit to Najd, the Ministry of Defense of China had secretly provided a batch of weapons and equipment to the Saudi family, and their Gulf Oil Company had frequently visited various parts of Najd, as if looking for new oil fields. The Saud family not only did not interfere with such work, but sent many guides to lead the way, so the Admiralty thought. ”

"The Chinese Congress supports the founding of the Saudi family?!" MacDonald blurted out.

"What else is there?" "Gulf Oil has been very, very active in the last year, and there is evidence that they have also made political contributions to Reza Pahlavi, acquired oil exploration rights in southwestern Persia, and sold them a number of advanced weapons, including at least 40 tanks and 100 artillery pieces," Henderson said. In addition, the Chinese government has officially sent a note to the Persian and Afghan governments wishing to open air flights from Andijan to Khorasan Province in northern Persia and finally to Tehran and finally to Najd. ”

"Damn! This yellow-skinned monkey, he is provoking the bottom line of the British Empire! MacDonald angrily picked up his cigar and took a few puffs. After the war in Afghanistan for a short time, countries around the world saw the importance of air traffic, so they opened many routes, but this route was too politically significant!

It must be stopped!

Seeing MacDonald's eyes, Henderson understood what he meant, and nodded: "I'll do my best." ”

MacDonald breathed a sigh of relief, thought back to the recently begun naval negotiations, and asked, "Is there any progress in the naval conference?" What do the Chinese explain about the four battleships? Did Japan agree to sign a new treaty? ”

After the launch of the Beijing-class battleship, it caused a strong sensation in Europe and the United States. Not only because it is the first type of super battleship built by various countries after the Washington Treaty, but also because of the scale of building 4 ships in one go! Everything in the British Empire is based on maritime supremacy, so it is more concerned about this class of battleships," said Hum Desen: "The Chinese did not explain much, they only said that they did not violate the treaty. However, they have promised to consider signing a new treaty and have said they will decommission two Anhai-class battlecruisers in the near future. But on the terms of destroyers, they, like France and Italy, refused to impose restrictions on the tonnage of destroyers. The Japanese were still thinking about it, and the four battleships of the Chinese put a lot of pressure on them, hoping to obtain the terms of decommissioning the two old battleships to build new ones, and if they could not agree, they might consider withdrawing from the naval treaty. ”

MacDonald's face was solemn, "China" is now just a boycott of the destroyer clause, if "Japan" withdraws, will the government of "China" also withdraw? Seeing that the United States is about to pass the proposal of "freely exchanging government bonds," the British economy will certainly be affected at that time, and if China and Japan withdraw from the naval treaty one after another at this time, then the phrase of maintaining the existence of the Far East will really become a laughing stock.

While the two of them were discussing some of the things that had happened recently and looking for a solution, the sound of footsteps suddenly sounded from outside. Alexander the Admiralty, who had just spoken, walked in with a rigid face and placed a telegram on the table: "A telegram from Mr. Prime Minister Kolkata, a gang of armed bandits attacked the prison last night and rescued the imprisoned Chandra. ”

"Subas. Chandra. Boss?! ”

MacDonald jumped up and roared, "Who did that?" What about the Congress Party? ”

No wonder he was excited, Chandra was such a headache for the British. Although both he and Nehru were Congress parties, Nehru at least knew that Britain should cooperate, and this guy was simply a saboteur! Not only has he publicly called for armed independence many times, but he has also had a record of inciting militants to attack the British army, and has been praised by Downing Street as India's number one terrorist criminal.

In the past, Gandhi was able to hold him down, but now that Gandhi is dead, this guy is simply lawless, even Nehru can't control it! That's why the British were quick to arrest him and consider exile. But before he could figure out where to be exiled, this guy was actually rescued by the militants!

"I don't know yet, but I think there are three possibilities. The radicals of the Congress party, the Soviets or the "Chinese"! Alexander held up three fingers and swung vigorously......!!!
