Chapter 77 Targeted Long-term Layout (2)

The Dawes Plan had a tremendous impact on the whole world, and there is no doubt that it was the result of a brilliant political victory through economic concealment. The impact of this project on China was obvious, and by the end of 1924 alone, more than 5,000 of the 300,000 Germans in China had returned home. Fortunately, projects involving the military field have not changed much, and the restrictions imposed on Germany by the Treaty of Versailles have always been there.

The wave of Germans returning to China triggered by the Dawes Plan continued until the end of 1925 and then gradually leveled off, during which a total of 100,000 Germans chose to return to China, many of whom ended up in the enterprises in China. On the other hand, these Germans, who have ended their businesses in China, tend to be of the kind that do not do well. From this point of view, it is not necessarily a bad thing for these people to return to Germany, but on the whole, it still has a great impact on China, and the departure of Germans has led to the emergence of a gap in the demand for technicians and technicians in some enterprises.

In November 1924, the cabinet of the Republic of China government submitted a bill on financial reform, and the silver level of the renminbi was affected by the lack of national silver reserves, which made the currency in the market insufficient. In fact, two years ago, when the People's Bank of China was founded, it put forward a plan for financial reform, but the National Assembly at that time did not pass it. This is the second time it has been proposed, and it has been proposed by the Cabinet. The lack of money and the impact of strict zhòng on the acceleration of the national economy are deeply concerned about this.

After more than a month of deliberations and countless spat accounts, Congress finally passed the latest monetary reform bill before the end of the year. The renminbi was abolished and replaced with a credit currency, which is the only currency in China as prescribed by law. The silver and copper circles of the past were gradually withdrawn. The passage of this bill is guò. It has caused a huge response around the world. In view of the rapid warming of Sino-US trade, the Ministry of Finance proposed a plan for direct settlement between RMB and US dollars. Prior to this, the settlement unit was first converted into pounds sterling, and the British took a vote for nothing. This proposal provoked a strong reaction from the British government, and British Foreign Secretary Winston Churchill urgently met with the ambassador to Britain and demanded that the Chinese government abandon this practice. And made it clear that the British Empire would react most violently. Almost at the same time as Churchill's threat, the British Far East Fleet was massing in Singapore.

The news was sent back home. It caused strong dissatisfaction in the country. There are also different opinions and disputes within the Diet. In the end, the speaker of the National Assembly, Xu Shichang, proposed a vote, but the proposal was not approved because the number of people who approved it was not more than half.

The incident provoked a violent reaction in the international community, with some Western analysts writing analyses in major newspapers. It is believed that this move by the Chinese government is undoubtedly sending a strong signal to the world. Unfortunately, the Chinese's actions have not been echoed by the Americans, and in today's atmosphere of isolationism, the Chinese's attempt to seek an alliance between China and the United States has failed. The British press called it another great victory for the British Empire. After China, an emerging power, has made great strides in its economic and military power, the Chinese have tried to find a stronger sense of existence around the world. Unfortunately, this effort failed. At the same time, it also proves that the British Empire's position in the world is unshakable.

In March 1925, a powerful piece of news shocked the whole world, and the Chinese government sent a delegation to visit the Soviet Union to discuss issues of common concern between the two countries. At this time when the USSR was isolated by the whole world. The Chinese government's jaw dropped by such a move.

for this matter. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs held a special press conference where journalists from all over the world gathered to report the news. I don't know if it was caught off guard by China, and the League of Nations did not react immediately to the matter.

At the press conference of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, countless spotlights flashed at the moment when Foreign Minister Wang Chonghui walked out. Walking to the rostrum, Wang Chonghui waited for a while, and after the scene was quiet, he spoke: "Friends from the media, thank you for your attention to the foreign policy of the Chinese government. There are some things in the world today that exist objectively and do not depend on human will, such as the Soviet Union, which has the longest border with China. As everyone knows, due to some historical reasons, the relations between the two countries have always been rather tense. The Chinese people love peace, and the Chinese Government does not care about past grievances for the sake of peace, and the purpose is to ease relations. ……。 ”

In the opening remarks of less than three minutes, the main theme was peaceful development. At the same time as the press conference, the envoys of the United States, Britain, and France gathered in Fang Jianxiong's residence, and the purpose of coming here can be imagined.

"Your Excellency, the British Empire is very concerned about the progress of Sino-Soviet relations, and I would like to ask you to ask your Excellency to clarify the beginning and end of the Chinese delegation's visit to the Soviet Union." British Minister Sa Daoyi, maintaining the pride and reserve of the British Empire, couldn't wait to question Fang Jianxiong. Judging from its tone, it means that it is not okay not to give an explanation.

Fang Jianxiong sat upright, holding a cigarette in his hand, and he couldn't see the clue from his expression. It is said that such a thing should go to the president and the cabinet, but these foreign devils are better than ghosts, and naturally know who has the final say in China.

In 1894, the British minister to China, Ogner, publicly stated that the import of aircraft was not a blessing for Westerners. On August 17, 1912, the British Minister to China, Zhu Erdian, sent a memorandum to Yuan Shikai's government, in which he made four unreasonable demands to grossly interfere in China's internal affairs on the Tibet issue. Late last year, the British Far East Fleet rallied in Singapore to make armed threats against China's Ministry of Finance's proposal to exchange the renminbi and the U.S. dollar directly against Huàn. If Mr. Minister comes this time, or with a fleet, then please go back. Please tell Mr. Churchill that there is a limit to the patience of the Chinese Government, and if it is simply considered that the patience of the Chinese Government is weak, then I now clearly tell Your Excellency that the people of Chinese will not hesitate to fight in order to defend their national sovereignty. Fang Jianxiong said unhurriedly, Sa Daoyi's face turned pale, although it seemed that Fang Jianxiong's expression had not changed in the slightest, he was always unfazed. But the meaning of these words is clear: this time, the Chinese will not make any concessions. At the same time, it can be affirmed that the current government of the Republic of China is not the Qing Dynasty, nor is it Beiyang.

Sa Daoyi, who has set off turbulent waves in his heart, still maintains a reserved pride on his face, but is actually secretly complaining. Fang Jianxiong said such a thing in front of the ministers of France and the United States, which meant that he was ready to tear his face. It is conceivable that the British Empire was not prepared to tear its face, and the British Empire was not capable of launching a new opium war.

What to do? Do you want to leave? There is no doubt that this is stupid behavior! Thinking of Foreign Secretary Winston Churchill's harshly worded telegram, Saudie decided to sit down cheekily and look at Curran, the US minister to China. If there is anyone among the three ministers present who can make Fang Jianxiong's tone change in this atmosphere, then only the Americans, who have always had a good relationship.

Curran intended to look at him without seeing Sadaoyi, but the U.S. government also gave him a mission to understand the true intentions of the Chinese government. Facing Fang Jianxiong alone is not as confident as facing the three ministers together. In fact, the U.S. government has always wanted to incorporate China's renminbi into the dollar system, and the Chinese also want to do so. But against the backdrop of the current mainstream of isolation in the United States, the U.S. government shrank when the British government reacted strongly.

"Your Excellency, please stop your anger!" Curran still spoke, China is too important for the United States today. Since the end of World War I, China has been America's largest trading partner. In the United States, where the capital is the master of the country, whoever can't get along with money will have trouble with the people of the whole United States. About $150 million a year in trade with China is enough to make U.S. capital go crazy. In the past five years, when the world economy was in a recession, in order to earn money from Chinese, American businessmen ignored technical barriers and sold all good things to China. Mobil and other oil companies have built 10 refineries in China in order to import 8 million tons of crude oil per year. In order to compete for the market, take out some technology to count a bird feather. Boeing, a medium-sized company in the United States (that era), directly put engine production in China for the Chinese government's order of 400 aircraft. You really don't want to say, which country can open such a large order in this era, except for China. U.S. capital has spread to every industrial sector in China, accounting for 50 percent of China's industrial market, and the constant flow of ocean-going freighters in the Pacific Ocean every year clearly illustrates this problem. The last time there was a small turmoil in Sino-US relations, the export of US agricultural products fell sharply, and the US government was already on fire in the butt. This time, ......, considering that US capital in China is close to $5 billion, Colangen could not have imagined. This year's $5 billion is such an insane figure that it is enough to make those American capitalists remove the government from office 10 times.

"Mr. Curran, I would like to have something to say, but the tone of some people's voices really makes it impossible for me to calm down. In view of the needs of China's economic and diplomatic development, I will build the Chinese government, withdraw from the Entente, and withdraw from the League of Nations. When Fang Jianxiong stopped, the faces of the three ministers changed, and when they saw Fang Jianxiong open his mouth again, his heart was hanging, and he was afraid that Fang Jianxiong would say the next sentence: "Withdraw from the Washington Naval Treaty." Fortunately, Fang Jianxiong didn't really go crazy, he opened his mouth and closed it again.

Curran hurriedly wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and at that moment just now, countless white sweat instantly appeared on his back. Over the years, many people have forgotten about Jì, the Fang Dashuai who once went crazy and dared to do anything.

No one will doubt Fang Jianxiong's influence on this country, no one will doubt the combat effectiveness of the squadron, no one will doubt that once Fang Jianxiong goes crazy, he will do something in alliance with the Soviet Union. Sitting in the position of the country's leader naturally puts the national interest first. Once the Entente forces China into a hurry, such a thing as an alliance between China and the Soviet Union will definitely happen. As for waging war to solve the problem, save it, a poor Soviet Union, the Entente could not help it. Not to mention China, which is strong and strong.
