114. The Transformation of the Great Powers

The noise of the Chinese Foreign Ministry gradually dissipated.

Since the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Nanjing Government of China has set an example of various "international practices", everyone knows that they cannot do anything with the Chinese side. It can also be seen that China has a completely suppressive attitude towards Japan, which the great powers want to support, and will never allow the Far East to restrain their forces.

The official speech is the scene of words, the great powers cannot turn their faces, even if they turn their faces, what can they do? It would not have been able to change China's strong suppression of the situation in East Asia. Causing a side affair will only bring humiliation on itself and provoke the Chinese side, and the two million army that China has just dismantled can be reorganized in the shortest possible time.

Inside the British Embassy, Smith, Hollande, Conger and the ambassadors of many countries all had gloomy faces, and there was no doubt that this was not a good thing for them. China has not been reined in by the abolition of unequal treaties, but has become more and more powerful.

"Japan is finished, there is no help." Hollande sighed deeply.

Smith said: "Even if we come to Japan's aid, there is no doubt that the Chinese side will increase its support for North Korea and continue to use the hands of the North Koreans to eradicate Japan." The Chinese made this move at the first time to tell us this, they will not allow the threat of Japan to exist. ”

Conger sighed, "If it were us, Japan would not be allowed to exist." Little Japan is trying to swallow elephants and bring great humiliation and disaster to China, and it is long overdue to consider that there will be such a day. What worries me now is that China is growing so fast, frighteningly fast. ”

Hollande was surprised: "Really? There aren't many new industrial zones in China, and the pace of development seems to have slowed. ”

Smith said in a deep voice: "But their technical equipment is being upgraded rapidly, and according to our intelligence, the Chinese have three 15,000-ton super hydraulic presses installed." It is 15,000 tons, which is already the most advanced level in the world. There are only two such super hydraulic presses in the British Empire and the United States, and only one in France. According to the Jewish technicians we bought, the Chinese's 10,000-ton hydraulic press is much more advanced than ours, and the production efficiency will be at least doubled, that is, equivalent to our six 10,000-ton hydraulic presses. And it is said that they also seem to be producing larger hydraulic presses. ”

Hollande was taken aback and said, "A bigger press? 20,000 tons? ”

Smith smiled bitterly: "It's 30,000 tons." The Jewish technicians also did not have access to detailed drawings, and could only speculate from some technical indicators. Chinese are very strict about the secrecy of core technology, and we Westerners cannot access the most core technology. For example, the top blowing converter steelmaking technology, we can't get close to their pure oxygen manufacturing workshop at all, and the security personnel of their core technology have the privilege to kill any non-designated relevant personnel who cross the cordon unconditionally. We lost seven groups of agents. ”

Conger smiled bitterly: "We lost eight groups of personnel. As you know, our steel production in the United States is more than 30 million tons, and if we get the technology of the Chinese, the consumption of coal will be reduced by seven or eight times, the number of workers in steel plants will be sharply reduced by five times, and the cost of steel will be more than doubled when all aspects are combined. Our steel has no competitiveness in the face of Chinese steel technology, and if the Chinese steel is expanded and used for export to the world, then our entire Western steel group will go bankrupt collectively. ”

Smith and Hollande have changed their faces, as politicians and diplomats, they naturally know that the steel industry is the pillar industry of a strong country, at least for now, the modern equipment manufacturing industry needs a large amount of steel, if the steel companies are closed, the consequences are unimaginable, it is not just a large number of unemployment, but the entire country, and even the industrial lifeline of the whole world will be invisibly manipulated by China, China only needs to stop steel exports, and their manufacturing industry will close down without materials.

Hollande's face was gloomy: "The Chinese seem to be preparing to do this, using the equipment manufacturing industry to produce a large number of top blowing converters, and at the same time importing a large amount of iron ore, which is China's largest import commodity in addition to importing ordered parts." Although China cannot develop iron ore quickly, they have used imported iron ore, and their steel production has exceeded 10 million tons, and at the speed of their steel plant construction, it will not take half a year for their annual steel output to exceed 20 million tons. With the scale of their construction, the scale of steel that can be exported will reach several million tons per year, which is enough to deal a fatal blow to our western steel industry. ”

Smith shouted in panic: "Damn, they must be stopped, we must unite and ban the export of iron ore to the Chinese." ”

Conger sighed, "It's useless. Who will bear the difference between the unlimited import of iron ore by the Chinese at a price of 10% above the market price, and we jointly prohibit mining companies from exporting iron ore to China? And I see that the Chinese have imported tens of millions of tons of iron ore so far, enough for them to use for two years. The Chinese have discovered large iron ore in a row, and two years is enough time for them to develop them, keep up with the consumption of steel mills, and their steel will be exported to the world, hitting our entire Western market. ”

Hollande said in a deep voice: "We can raise the tariff on steel. ”

Conger laughed, "Yes, you're right. We can raise tariffs to protect our steel companies, but how many countries in Europe and the Americas have not developed their steel industries? What about these countries? Can companies in these countries afford to have their manufacturing costs increased by two or three percent? Canada, for example, is currently the world's largest exporter of iron ore, which is one of their most important sources of foreign exchange, and if they are prevented from making money, I think they may immediately become independent from the United Kingdom. ”

"Damn it, damn it." Smith was so anxious that he seemed to be distracted.

Hollande said bitterly: "The Chinese can bring down our entire Western economy with just such a technology." ”

Conger sighed, "Yes, it's more than that. The Chinese still have aircraft technology, and now they only need to export their worst planes to the world, and our aircraft factories all over the world will go out of business; Their cars, although the production capacity is not high, but the cost is lower than our West, but the performance is better, the technology is more advanced, and now their Tianjin automobile factory has begun to put into production, once they develop, a large number of exports to the West, the world's car factories have to close; Hydropower equipment, a few years ago they were completely unable to produce, but now they produce hydropower generators that are much more advanced than ours, and it is said that the power of the same level of equipment is more than 50% higher. Even if it is the railway incident that is now making a lot of noise, the 1520 mm broad-gauge railway built by the Chinese, the ordinary railway they test can reach a maximum speed of more than 100 kilometers per hour, and the general operating speed is sixty kilometers, but ours? The running speed is only thirty or forty kilometers, and even some old railways can only run at a speed of more than 20 kilometers per hour, do you know what the consequences are? ”

Smith, Hollande, and many of the Western ambassadors had gloomy faces, and they could not have imagined the consequences. As long as you close your eyes, it seems that you will see that Chinese goods are flooding the world, and countless factories in the West have been seized from the market because of technological backwardness, and they have closed down one after another. The economy, which was already sluggish, became even more depressed, countless unemployed armies rose up under the agitation of the Red Ideology, and the entire Western world was filled with riots, revolutions, wars, and gunsmoke

Originally, they had gathered at the British Embassy to discuss the war in Japan, but now no one was in the mood to do so.

China's development makes it seem as if the entire Western civilization world, which they are so proud of, is about to decay, collapse, and be replaced. Moreover, with China's strong rise, they even imagine that after the rapid development of China's industry, an incomparably large number of Chinese will attack the whole world under China's powerful industrial armament, and the sea is full of Chinese super high-speed warships, the Chinese planes in the sky are densely packed and cover the sky, and countless tanks and fighting vehicles on the ground will crush the defense lines they have arranged

What a terrible situation this is? All of this is because of Li Bufan. The most terrifying thing is that Li Bufan is still so young, not yet thirty years old.

Smith gritted his teeth and said, "The Chinese must not be allowed to develop like this again, even if they choose war!" ”

Conger sighed: "In the current situation, can we persuade the Western world to choose to go to war with the Chinese?" ”

Hollande was decadently on the couch, and whether other countries were willing to go to war with China or not, it was impossible for France to pass the war bill. He knows very well the current situation in France, this is the most sexually blessed era for French men, if a normal man only has one or two lovers, it is quite a sexual blessing in a normal country, but in the current France it is an extremely humiliating thing, the current French man can go down for a week, every day with a different lover, the current France, an adult man who can't find a wife, that can only mean that he has no sexual function. Can such a France agree to war? Would a French man in the gentle countryside be willing to choose to go to the battlefield and fight hard? It's almost the same as forming a women's army.

Conger sighed, "That's not realistic. Even if war is to be chosen, then we in the West will need considerable time to prepare. So, I think that even though we know very well that there is no benefit to be gained by aiding Japan, Japan can buy time for us as a whole in the Western world. "The United States originally hoped that China would be independent, and they originally thought that they could achieve free market competition in China, but for a period of time, China came up with a "local protection tax" to restrict market development, and when this problem was solved, they suddenly found that the situation was even more terrible, and the whole attitude immediately changed, especially the steel giant Morgan consortium.

"When?"

Smith smiled wryly, they do need time.

It will take time to convince the top of Congress.

It takes more time to convince the population.

Strategic layout takes time

Never made them feel that time was so important as a whole, but was it just in their favor?

PS: I know that many of my friends would like to see a painful blow to little Japan, but I have never thought that little Japan is qualified to be China's opponent, even in the current reality. Personally, I think they only deserve to be a dog, they were, they are, and they will be.
