Chapter 503: The Siamese Fleet
After the outbreak of the economic crisis in the United States, the unemployment rate increased wildly, and those excellent engineers in the past faced the wind of unemployment
In fact, a large number of senior workers have lost their jobs, and the so-called middle class has suffered the most in this unprecedented stock market crash.
They don't have the eyes and hands of predators, they can predict risks in advance, and they don't have a rich family background, in fact, they don't have much to compare with the people who are extremely poor, and the poor have no money in their hands to smash on the stock market, and the most bankrupt people in the United States are small and medium-sized entrepreneurs, senior workers, teachers, doctors, lawyers, and middle-level management talents.
These people can undoubtedly be regarded as successful people in the eyes of ordinary people, of course, there is no comparison with the real financial predators, international bankers, they are completely meat on the chopping block, and overnight, the house is gone, the car is gone, the job is gone, and even the wife is gone.
For these people, it is the greatest luck to have a place to work and a full meal, and at this time, the Chinese consulate in the United States is processing work visas for these people to go to China.
Of course, China doesn't want everything, and now the Americans are down, and the high-level talents that China couldn't afford to hire in the past are now begging China one by one to take them in, and the Chinese side naturally has to make some selections, don't have real talent and learning, don't have a record of violating the law, don't respect Chinese customs, and don't have racial prejudice......
The Americans are actually very practical, and they are still a little arrogant, and they do not have the kind of high level of old Europe, and it may be that the United States has not yet reached that peak, and there is not much rejection of this way of selecting livestock.
Of course, they can also choose not to choose China, then they can only choose the Soviet Union, in fact, there are only two countries that are still recruiting talents, one is China, the other is the Soviet Union.
Both China and the Soviet Union were in a period of rising industrialization, and both governments had super control over the economy, and the Soviet Union had adopted a strong public ownership system, so there was no problem of overcapacity at all. Although China is privately owned. But China pursued an industrial route, the whole economy was running very healthily, almost all factories were in a period of expansion, and the demand for machines and mechanics was almost unlimited.
At present, there were long queues at the consulates of China and the Soviet Union, and China and the Soviet Union had their own advantages in recruiting talents, and the Soviet Union had racial advantages and both were Caucasians. The living habits are similar, and they have a great attraction for Americans; China, like the United States, has a capitalist system, and its society is in a period of rapid growth, and now if you come to China to develop, it is very likely that you will get a higher position in the future, and you can even start your own business. All this was not available to the Soviet Union.
In addition, China has a more powerful weapon, that is, China's wages and benefits are much better than those of the Soviet Union, in fact, this is not to blame the Soviet people for being stingy, but the funds they recruit workers are all exchanged for agricultural and mineral products, and they are all pulled out of the teeth of the common people, and now many people in the Soviet Union are still suffering from hunger.
China's funds are obtained through the U.S. stock market, which is a windfall, and it is not distressing to use it at all. And the Chinese light industry. Agriculture has become more developed, and the daily necessities that can be provided are also more abundant. The majority of American workers chose China, about half as many as those in the Soviet Union.
Zhu Shunchang and Shi Weiming were originally responsible for capital operation, and now the mission of the two of them is to recruit talents for China, exchange the huge amount of money earned for talents, technology, and machines, every day they have millions of capital in their hands, in the face of these huge capital, Zhu Shunchang every time he thinks about it, he feels a burst of adrenaline secretion, and the whole person is unprecedentedly excited.
"Wei Ming, now we control at least 500 million US dollars, even if it is only one-tenth, there are 50 million, and there are probably not many people in the whole world who have so much wealth!"
"Lao Zhu, you don't want to be greedy for this money, do you!" Shi Weiming's big bright eyes stared at Zhu Shunchang very playfully.
"The sake celebrity face is touching, it's nonsense to say that I don't want to be tempted, but I'm also scared!"
"Lao Zhu, for the sake of our partners, I warn you to put away this kind of thinking as soon as possible, I have summed up an experience over the years, that is, there is a lot of money that should be taken, and there is not a dime of money that should not be taken, especially when dealing with the government, you must be more careful, maybe there are countless pairs of eyes staring at us now, and before you can act, I will reward you with a peanut!"
Zhu Shunchang was said by Shi Weiming's neck straight to the cold, he has been working for the government for many years, and he has long known the key to this, where are the rules not clear, taking the property for himself is just his subconscious thought, according to normal speaking, he will never say it.
But today, the ghost envoy sent Shi Weiming to speak his heart, and a very strange feeling surged in his heart.
China's action to buy the bottom of the United States continues, and at this time, Europe has begun to have problems one after another with the economic crisis of the United States, and China's capital power has continued to gain.
In addition, the aircraft carrier port that China promised to help Siam has also been completed after two years of intense construction, and the location is located in Sattahip, which is 70 kilometers southeast of Bangkok, at the junction of Bangkok Bay and Siam Bay, and has a very good deep-water port.
The naval base was chosen here, just near Bangkok, the capital of Siam, and at the same time along the Gulf of Siam to the south, which could directly threaten Xinjiapi, like a sharp sword over the head of the British, who in the past could directly enter the South China Sea after passing through Malacca, and then threaten China's southern coastal areas, and also be able to aid Hong Kong.
However, with the completion of the construction of the Sattahip base, if the British want to enter the South China Sea, they must first pull out this nail, otherwise the road will be threatened at any time, for the British is like a fish in the throat, compared to the construction of the Kra Canal The effect is almost the same, at first the British also did everything possible to obstruct and frequently put pressure on Siam, but the heavens did not fulfill people's wishes, and at the critical moment of the competition between the two countries in the South Seas, the US economic crisis broke out.
What followed was a big problem in the British economy, the number of unemployed people rose wildly, the domestic opposition continued to demonstrate and demonstrate, and the pro-Soviet left-wing forces also rose rapidly, exerting more and more influence in the social field.
Qiao Yu has long been disgusted with Britain to the extreme. This world hegemon is in the waning world, although it has inevitably declined. However, the desire to harm others has not weakened at all, on the contrary, it is full of tricks and more and more excessive.
Although Britain and China signed a communiqué stating that they would return sovereignty over Hong Kong after five years, the British wanted to use these five years to turn Hong Kong into a huge burden and cause trouble for the Chinese government.
One of the first things the British did was to promise to provide housing to every Hong Kong family, and the British government borrowed aggressively. A variety of projects have been built on a large scale, including lavish residential areas, parks, roads, libraries, theaters, and more. Each item is not the best, only the most money, and most of them are paid in installments.
In addition, Hong Kong Britain began to provide Hong Kong people with pension and medical insurance, and even began to prepare for Hong Kong to achieve universal suffrage, and in a short period of time, Hong Kong's people's livelihood was quickly improved, and even many people who did not know the truth still applauded Hong Kong Ying's actions, thinking that they were really thinking about the Hong Kong people.
However, Qiao Yu knows very well that these are the big holes left by the British. The British did every job on loan. It's all about overdrawing Hong Kong's future, and the benefits offered have greatly exceeded those in China. After the Chinese government takes over, if it is abolished, it will offend the people of Hong Kong, and if it is not abolished, it will use taxes to fill the hole.
The so-called universal elections are the same, and they are not in line with China's domestic political system, and these actions are all creating problems for China to recover Hong Kong, and the British are constantly bad in this regard.
However, they are also too clever to calculate, how did they not calculate that there will be a super economic crisis outbreak, Hong Kong Ying originally hoped to rely on loans to maintain for five years, and then regardless of the flood, who knew that it was only more than two years before it could be maintained, the loan was cut off, and Hong Kong was full of unfinished projects!
Although it is very comfortable to watch the British make a fool of Qiao Yu, but after all, China is still going to take over Hong Kong, and this mess still has to be cleaned up by China, and every time he thinks of this, Qiao Yu hates it so much.
The best way to deal with hooligans is to pretend to be robbers, if you dare to play a scoundrel, I will shoot you!
It was out of this revenge that Qiao Yu informed the Siamese government after the initial construction of the Sattahip Naval Base was completed, and asked them to accept the Chaoyong.
At this time, Siam has already set off an aircraft carrier fever, for this warship in the Sino-Japanese naval war has been very longing, has long been named Siam, was regarded as a symbol of the Siamese Navy, and now got the news that China officially handed over the aircraft carrier, Siam is all boiling.
In addition to handing over an aircraft carrier to the Siam Navy this time, China also has two destroyers, four frigates, and a supply ship, and before that, China also handed over a number of offshore patrol ships and two submarines to Siam, and in an instant, the Siam Navy has changed from nothing to a decisive force in the South Seas.
In order to deal with the threat of China's aircraft carriers, Britain sent the Athletic to Singapore, this aircraft carrier is the first purpose-built aircraft carrier in the United Kingdom, which can be called the ancestor of modern aircraft carriers, but this is only a light aircraft carrier, and the Chaoyong is a class, and the Siam Navy even thinks that after having the Chaoyong, it will be able to compete with the British Royal Navy, which is undoubtedly a great news for Siam, which is worth the amount of money spent.
The Chao Yong completed the final refit work at the Chinese shipyard, removing all Chinese symbols and replacing them with Siamese symbols, and changing the name to Siam, with more than three-quarters of the crew on the warship Siamese, and only Chinese personnel in key parts of the ship.
Under the escort of the Yangwei escort aircraft carrier, it passed through the vast South China Sea and officially began a new service process.
After several days of continuous sailing, the Siam finally officially arrived in Siam at the end of 1929 and officially joined the Siam Navy. (To be continued.) )
