Gu Weijun is a new generation of politicians with extremely diplomatic talent, he used to just lack a stage and opportunities, but now once he has such a stage, the world seems to revolve around him.

After cleverly destroying the special relationship between Britain and the Netherlands, he went directly to London to visit Ramsay. Prime Minister Macdonald met and tried to coordinate with Britain and the Netherlands to persuade Britain and China to mediate the Dutch-Indonesian crisis.

He mastered the division and integration between the great powers very delicately, and carried out diplomatic work with the main axis to prevent the two major alliances of Britain and China and France from developing military conflicts during this special period, and finally persuaded Britain to intervene and use political pressure from China, Britain, France, and the Netherlands to force the withdrawal of troops.

Diplomacy is a very wonderful job, only those smartest politicians can show their talents on the stage of international diplomacy, only with the least strength and cost can obtain the maximum benefits, without any further military conflicts and additional expenditures, Gu Weijun used the trick of diplomacy to suppress the crazy impulse of expansion, the economic crisis of the economic crisis at home to digest itself.

In May 1930, Gu Weijun led the Sino-Chinese and Dutch Treaty to reach the "Rotterdam Entente" at the Rotterdam Conference, under which China and the Netherlands shared the right to free trade in Dutch Indonesia, and said that the Netherlands would lease Sorong Port as a military and commercial port for a period of 20 years, and the Netherlands would sell the territorial ownership of Kalimantan Island, Sulawesi Islands, and Tanjung Pinang Island to China for 14 million Chinese yuan.

After this agreement was reached, Prime Minister Yuyuki Hamaguchi began to decide to reduce the military spending of the Navy, and in July 1930, he was prevented from being killed by a non-commissioned officer of the Navy, and died of his injuries after retiring urgently, making him the first prime minister to die in an assassination attempt by the military.

On November 10, 1930, seven days after the coup d'état in Brazil, Gu Weijun recognized the Brazilian Provisional Political Axe and the newly appointed Brazilian President Retulio . On the premise of Vargas, he paid a flash visit to Brazil, signed the "China-Brazil Strategic Mutual Assistance Treaty" and the "China-Brazil Free Trade Treaty" with President Vargas, and provided Brazil with a long-term preferential loan totaling 750 million yuan, which opened the door for China to fully invest in Brazil.

…… 1930 was a very important year, in this year, the central government of the Chinese Empire and the provincial government axes spent a total of 2.23 billion yuan on the political axe infrastructure, so that the empire maintained the rapid growth trend of previous years, and spent 1.3 billion yuan in loans and political axe investment in overseas provinces, protectorates, and strategic cooperation countries, stabilized the economic order of the overseas colonial market, and made the foreign exports, which fell sharply last year, increase again.

The empire regained its position as the largest food importer in the Southeast Asian market, and also imported large quantities of tropical cash crop products from Southeast Asia to maintain the stability of Asian trade.

During the special phase of the Great Depression in the world, the empire began to rapidly replace Europe and the United States as the largest investors and creditors in Southeast Asia, Brazil, West Asia and other regions.

In this year, the empire continued to invest heavily in research and education, and the number of public and private students sent abroad set a new record, reaching 114,000 in Europe and the United States, and the total number of university students in the empire exceeded 300,000.

In that year, the Reich won both the Nobel Prize in Chemistry and the Prize in Physics, even though the physicist who won the Prize in Physics was a German scientist in China.

In this year, after the empire tightened the restrictions of the immigration policy, the number of foreign population in the empire was still further expanded, in Liaoning, Shandong, Shanghai, Tianjin, Hong Kong, Fuzhou is the most concentrated area of foreign population, only Liaoning Province foreign population increased by 140,000 people, 32% of the population has received university education and junior college education, Shenyang's Russian Town, Aurora, Qingdao's German Town, Shanghai's English City, France's Town, Haizhou and Fuzhou's American City, these international districts have been specially approved for county-level administrative qualifications, The county elects its own councillors and county magistrates.

In Laos, northern Myanmar, Thailand, Brunei, and the Philippines, more than one-quarter of the population of newly immigrant Chinese, and the special position occupied by the Chinese in Southeast Asia was further consolidated, while the power of Britain, the United States, the Netherlands, and France shrank sharply.

With the further decline of the US economic aggregate, the gap between China's GDP and that of the United States has once again narrowed dramatically, and it is expected that it will officially surpass the United States in 1931 and leap to the first place in the world.

Twenty years.

In the past 20 years, the empire's economy has jumped from second to the United States, Germany, Britain and France to the second place in the world, and the United States has shared the world, accounting for 1/4 of the world's total economy.

The empire's university education grew from scratch and within twenty years it became the world's largest educational nation.

The empire started scientific research from scratch, and in two decades it became the country with the largest investment in scientific research in the world.

The 20 years before World War I belonged to Germany, which created an economic miracle in the world, and now the 20 years belong to China, which replicated this miracle and replaced Germany as the world's newest emerging industrial and technological power.

These are truly 20 years as precious as gold.

…… During the Spring Festival of 1931, the Spring Festival of this year was as prosperous and joyful as in previous years, and the Chinese were immersed in the happiness and pride of catching up with the United States, and all the people seemed to have regained the great glory of the Chinese nation overnight, and once again became the superior kingdom and the people of the Celestial Empire.

The humiliation of the late Qing Dynasty made the people ashamed, but it did not wear out the people's feelings and will to be a great power.

After breaking through this watershed in 1930, the empire ushered in a new generation, who were roughly born in the last years of Guangxu and the year after the Xuantong year, born in the New Deal period, known as the New Deal generation, who just welcomed the greatest change of dynasty in childhood, became the subjects of the empire, enjoyed universal compulsory education, and merged between tradition and modernity into a new generation of Chinese.

They are 25 years old, and the oldest is 30 years old, which is the age to step into society and build their own careers.

They are everywhere, the empire has changed them, and they have changed the empire.

On the occasion of the Empire's twenty years of existence, the Empire has entered a new era of platinum, propelled by the New Deal generation.

In the early morning, there was a lively sound of firecrackers outside the Central Palace, and the royal family collectively got up very early, Song Biao took the prince and princesses to light a long list of firecrackers outside, and then took the children back to the restaurant to enjoy the first meal of the year.

Dumplings with cabbage and meat fillings and sesame dumplings have always been Song Biao's favorites, simple and delicious, the children are noisy and noisy to press the New Year's money, and everyone has a warm gift, representing his love with Queen Shu, Concubine Shu, Concubine Ning, and Concubine Rong as parents.

Today is different from the past, not only the Spring Festival, but also on the first day of the Lunar New Year, Song Yuanyuan wanted to invite a boy from the Central Imperial University to be a guest at home.

He agreed to the ardent request of his daughter who fell into the river of love, and tried his best to hope that it would be pure love, but after all, he still had some doubts, and there was no way to doubt it, after all, it was his daughter's own choice.

After breakfast, let his wife and children continue to play in the imperial garden, Song Biao stayed in the dining room to read the newspaper, enjoying the warmth and tranquility of this life in the family, before noon, the young man would visit him in the Central Palace accompanied by the eldest princess.

Song Biao knew that he was a very good young man, very famous in the Central Imperial University, and was destined to be famous, but he didn't think that his daughter would come together with him, so he had an attitude of going with it.

The newspaper is a congratulatory message for the New Year.

In the corner of the side page of the Central Newspaper reported on Ilya. The news of Repin's serious illness, as the Russian painter Song Biao admired the most, spent the last ten years of his life in the Aurora Academy of Fine Arts.

This news made Song Biao sigh a little.

The world in the past two years is so bland, the domestic is good news continuously, China has always had the habit of congratulating the New Year, Shenyang Machine Tool Corporation has continuously grabbed the node during this time, completed the development of the 201 project in the speed-regulating motor horizontal combination machine tool, and will be officially put into production in June this year.

That's pretty good news.

Since the invention of the combined machine tool in the United States in 1911, the imperial machine tool industry has long invested energy and funds from the early days to track the development trend of the world's combined machine tools, and has been trying to catch up.

It should be said that this is the world's first speed-regulating motor combination machine tool.

During the period of the Great Depression in the United States, the Far Eastern Consortium began to re-enter the American market in the first half of 1930, merging American enterprises on a large scale, and reorganizing the United Machine Tool and China United Machine Tool Corporation, Shenyang Machine Tool Corporation, and Dehua Machine Tool Corporation into the new China United Machine Tool Corporation, and the largest machine tool enterprise in the United States became the American branch of the subsidiary of the Far Eastern Consortium.

Technically speaking, this is of little significance, because Shenyang Machine Tool Corporation has been very strong in the technical field, mainly in the integration of the industry, which makes China United Machine Tool Corporation the world's largest combined machine tool production and R & D company, with more than 70% of the world's combined machine tool field of technical patents.

The biggest value of the combined machine tool is not the machining accuracy, its machining accuracy has been lower than the traditional machine tool, but the requirements for the quality of workers are greatly reduced, because the parameters of the combined machine tool are fixed, it can only process one product, mainly used in automobiles, aircraft, drilling and other fixed fields, the prototype material is placed on the platform, it can automatically be processed into a finished product, the role of workers is very low.

The machining accuracy of the speed-regulating motor combination machine tool is higher than that of the traditional combination machine tool, and the scope of application is also wider, and the design of the machine tool is simpler or broader.

From 1911 to the Great Depression, the total number of workers in the United States increased by less than 20 percent, but its total industrial capacity increased by four times, and the average value of industrial products also increased by 1.7 times, which shows that its workers did not grow much, the amount of high-end industrial products was surging, and the total output value was also surging, and many of the factors in this were the rapid development of combined machine tools in the past two decades.

We say that the economic crisis in the bourgeois world is mainly due to the rapid increase in industrial capacity and the slow growth of consumption, which is the biggest contradiction of capitalism, and a very important reason for this is the rapid development of science and technology.

Science and technology are the primary productive forces.

Only science and technology can greatly increase the output value of industrial production capacity.

Song Biao was very pleased and happy after seeing the news of the successful development of the speed-regulating motor combination machine tool, which means a lot of things, such as the industrial production of tanks, automobiles and aircraft will go to a new level, with greater output and higher precision.

Song Biao finished reading the "Central News" and "Far East News", and in his spare time, he also finished reading the fifteenth chapter of "The Legend of the Swordsman of Shushan" serialized in "Ta Kung Pao", which is really cool.

It's very enjoyable, you can directly watch the serialization of "The Legend of Shushan Swordsman" in this era.

Of course, Song Biao likes "The Legend of the Swordsman of Shushan" very much, and he wants to write a set of Xianxia fantasy novels, and some time ago he also read half of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and that book is still being serialized.

He is really more leisurely now, even if he goes to other places to inspect, he is generally focused on sightseeing, the country has developed to this point, there are many things that he really needs to solve, but most of them are problems that cannot be solved in decades.

Rather than fighting to the end for these things, it is better to leave the problems to future generations, to time, to the cabinet, and to the future imperial prime minister to solve them slowly, such as the long-term governance of the Yellow River, the problems of Tibet Province and Xinjiang Province, as the emperor of the constitutional monarchy, the matters that should be handled by the cabinet will be handed over to the cabinet.

At this stage, in addition to the training and political meeting held once a week and the central military work, Song Biao is in charge of fewer and fewer things, but he has more and more time to spare, life is always lingering, and he can never come back, and it is very important to be able to spare time to do something he likes.

If the empire is forcibly promoted by the power of one person, such development cannot be regarded as truly sustainable development.

Song Biao is on the emperor's dragon chair, and all he can guarantee is freedom and peace, which is the foundation of the long-term stable development of the empire.

In the morning, Song Biao drank tea and read the newspaper in the Furong Hall, and carefully read the fifteenth chapter of "The Legend of the Swordsman of Shushan".

Just after reading it, the inner court came over to tell her, saying that Princess Song Yuanyuan had brought her friend Chen Zhizhi to the palace.

Chen Zhizhi is a good person, a native of Shanghai, currently studying at the Central Imperial University School of Finance and Economics, graduating this year, and has been serving as the editor-in-chief of the school newspaper of the Imperial Student Union.

As we all know, this man is very intelligent and politically savvy, and he can be said to be the patriarchal center of the economic faction of the republic.

At this time, Chen Zhizhi was still a very young man, born in 1905, only 25 years old this year, according to Song Yuanyuan, he wanted to work at the Central Economic Research Institute.

Song Biao's impression that this person was not handsome when he was young, but he was more distinctive, how could he talk to the princess of the family, he was also a little puzzled, it is said that because the family was poor, he lost his father and mother in his early years, and he was always raised by his uncle, and he had no object during his study at the Imperial University.

There are no more than two kinds of people in the school of the Imperial University, one is the children of the social elite, and the other is the really very good children of the poor family, students like him are very inconspicuous among the Imperial University, but they are also destined to achieve something.

Song Biao put down the newspaper in his hand and instructed Chen Jiayou beside him: "You take him to the imperial study, just say that I want to meet him alone first." ”

Chen Jiayou silently said yes, then turned around and went to get things done.

After waiting for a while, Song Biao went to the imperial study.

When he arrived at the imperial study, Chen Jin had already arrived, and he was waiting in the study, and when he saw Song Biao, he hurriedly stepped forward and bowed, and he was a little nervous.

Song Biao took a general look, sat down on the couch, raised his hand to signal to sit, and took out Chen Jin's bachelor's thesis from the table next to him, re-read it, and asked after a while: "How long have you known Yuanyuan?" ”

After Chen Jin sat down, he became even more uneasy, like a man's back, and hurriedly replied: "Back to the emperor, the people have known the princess for two years, and they didn't know the identity of the princess before. ”

Song Biao hummed and said: "Your bachelor's thesis is well written, and you have a comprehensive understanding of the economic framework of the Soviet Union, but it is still not deep enough. Judging by the data, the heavy industry and national economy of the USSR have developed very quickly in recent years, especially the development of the oil industry in the Volga region, but you are not concerned about the living standards of their peasants. To develop industry, there must be capital investment, the Soviet Union has been growing from our country in recent years, increasing year by year, and now it is China's largest machinery exporter, so where does its capital come from? From the point of view of foreign exchange, the foreign exchange of the USSR mainly came from the export of oil and metal minerals to Europe, but was this really the case? How does its domestic economy work, have you studied? ”

Chen Jin didn't expect the emperor to ask him some economic questions directly, he was slightly stunned, and only came back to his senses after a while, and replied: "The principle of the Soviet economy itself is anti-exploitation, and I think this is better than the European and American economy, or at a certain stage, it also needs to conform to the principles of economics and adopt too harsh economic restrictions on the peasant class, but from the perspective of recent years, the Soviet Union is one of the few countries that has not been affected by the economic crisis of world capitalism, which in itself proves that its economic system has some advantages." ”

Song Biao replied with a sigh: "Freedom, freedom, without freedom, of course you can easily resist the impact." The value of human survival is not just survival, but the pursuit of a freer and broader space for development, otherwise, what is the difference between humans and animals. We give animals a ratio of feed, so what they eat is up to us, is it reasonable that we also give people a ratio of feed, and the political axe determines what people eat, what they use, and what they live? The political axe is the natural enemy of the people, the political axe wants the right to decide everything, the people want the right to guarantee freedom, you see the advantages of Sovietism and the left, but you can't ignore the horrors of the left and Sovietism. You study economics, one of the principles of economics is to let the market run freely and reasonably, the world economic crisis is terrible, but it is much better than people being fed as animals. ”

After a pause, he added: "You have to study the economic model of the Soviet Union, which is a very important subject, but from this study you simply draw the conclusion that Sovietism and the model are superior, which is itself problematic. History is long-term, 50 years, 100 years is just a moment in the long river of human history, whether a system is superior or not, I am afraid it will take 100 years to see, so we should be cautious in drawing conclusions, and we should be even more cautious in doing academic research. I know that you are very close to the SPD in the Imperial Congress, but for the Soviet Union, you still have to have a dialectical understanding, the extreme left and the extreme right are not a good thing, if you make up your mind to devote yourself to the cause of the left, I hope that you will not get too close to the members of the royal family out of respect for the royal family, the royal family has no prejudice against the differences between the social positions of the left and right factions, as long as it is in line with the idea of benevolent government, solemn and virtuous, respecting the law and loving the people, and taking the first principle of enriching the people and strengthening the country, it is a feasible idea, but whether it is a Menshevik or a Bushvik, The royal family must stay away. ”

Chen Jin was silent.

He felt that the emperor did not understand his daughter, because Song Yuanyuan also had a close relationship with the Youth Institute of the Social Democratic Party.

Song Biao actually knew all this, and he also talked to his daughter that members of the royal family could not join any political party, and it was not suitable to get too close to the left and right parties, especially the extreme left and the extreme right.

He knows his daughter, she is still a knowledgeable young man, sometimes a little proud and rude, but she is still a very obedient daughter, not so rebellious.

It's normal for young people to be a little curious, especially when it comes to these ideas that are a bit extreme.

At this time, Song Biao and Chen Jiayou glanced at each other, Chen Jiayou immediately understood, handed over the file bag in his hand to Chen Jin, and said: "This is a comprehensive research report of the Central Intelligence Administration on the Soviet Union, which has not yet been officially made public. ”

Chen Jin didn't understand very much, but he still took this file into his hands and thanked Emperor Song for his favor.

On the whole, he felt that the empire had been relatively left-leaning in economic policy in recent years, with a gradual increase in the minimum wage guarantee and holiday policy for workers, a pension and social insurance system for skilled workers, and a supportive policy of tax reduction and equal land rights for peasants.

Especially after the outbreak of the Great Depression, the economics community within the empire also took the leftist model of studying the Soviet economy as a trend, and Chen Jin felt that he was at the forefront of academics, and also felt that the emperor had long-term considerations for supporting the SPD.

So, he's still young and doesn't understand politics.

Because in the long run, the minority party that Song Biao really wants to support for a long time is Song Jiaoren's China Mingzhuo Party, and in recent years, some new SPD parliamentarians have been added, but they have consciously forced the Mingzhuo Party to more clearly understand the essence of the people's prosperity and national strength, instead of blindly relying on bourgeois funding, not blindly market freedom and Mingzhuo spirit, and not blindly emphasizing the study of Britain and the United States.

In addition, the increase in the SPD's seats will also facilitate the passage of various major bills in the Diet, but this is only a temporary phase.

Song Biao is still not very interested in the SPD, and one of his political principles is that the left-wing ideas of the center-left can be had, but they cannot be bigger and stronger.

When Chen Jin got this summary file of various information and intelligence about the dark side of the Soviet Union, Song Biaocai and he added: "The world is complex, and people's surnames are even more complex, complex means that there is a bright side and a dark side, dialectical materialist thought is very valuable, human psychology is more valuable, you can also study it, it will be helpful for you to understand the truth of society." You are a guest invited by the princess today, I will not embarrass you, and I will not interfere with your free love, because this is the freedom that you are born with life and wisdom, and this is the end of what I should say, you can take it to heart or not. I heard that your parents died, the road expenses are tight, every Spring Festival is to stay in school to do handyman, talent is not easy, hardship can create real talents, this year stay in our home for the New Year! ”

After saying this, Song Biao continued to instruct Chen Jiayou, a first-class chamberlain: "Send someone to take him to the Imperial Garden, so that the queen can also meet." ”

Chen Jiayou received the order again, and then took Chen Jin out of the imperial study.

O youth.

Still a good young man, there is speculation, there is honesty, there is integrity, there is falsehood, this is the surname.

A person's surname is complex, just like yin and yang.

No matter how great a person is, as long as he is a person, he must have the two-faced surname of yin and yang.

Marx's mistake lies in the one-sided simplification of people's surnames, or that great ideological theorists have a naïve side, that capitalists are not good things, workers are not necessarily good things, and those who read talents are not good things.

On the other hand, capitalists, workers, and scholars can all be good things, and this in itself is an incomparably complex combination, because they are all human beings.
