Chapter 577: Hitching Hoover's Line
@@@@@@
After sending Traun away, Wang Zhengting never understood why Yang Qiu liked to use Jews, afraid that he would not understand why these people were not popular in Europe and other countries, and reminded: "Vice President, Jews are not only unpopular in Germany, but also in countries around the world. Recently, they have been in large numbers in Palestine, and there have been repeated clashes with Arabs, hostility between the two sides, and many armed conflicts. We have oil fields in Najd, and we also provide a lot of arms to the Saudi family, will they be recruited? ”
"Do you think I like them?"
Yang Qiu pointed to the stool for him to sit down, closed the book and put it on his lap. Turning his head to look out the window at the city, which was silent because of the curfew, he said, "I'm not a philanthropist, and I don't have a good impression of them." But now there is a shortage of high-level technicians in all walks of life, and most of the talents from these countries in Germany and Austria have flowed into the United States, and the rest are self-proclaimed patriotic and unwilling to leave, and how many of them have volunteered to go to the Far East? I'm afraid that many people have the impression that we are still eating life and still braiding! If you don't want to find a way, who will you recruit? Senior technicians are the foundation of education, we only began to implement free education in the southwest in 11 years, and it was rolled out nationwide in 15 years, and it will take 11 years for them to graduate from high school or technical secondary school. That is to say, it will take another 3 years to harvest the first batch of workers with a good foundation. The senior mechanic has to wait a few more years, is this time just wasted? Or buy foreigners' equipment every day? In any case, Jews are parasitic in the developed regions of Europe and the United States, have experienced the baptism of the industrial revolution, have a high level of education, solid technology, and are capable of producing people in large numbers. Coupled with the current turmoil in Germany, someone is deliberately provoking an anti-Semitic conflict, which is a good time for us to take advantage of. If we get a batch of good seedlings back to China, we can solve many problems. ”
Wang Zhengting admitted this, but was afraid that Yang Qiu would fall too deeply, so he kindly reminded: "The vice president still has to be careful, you can use it, it is not worth deep friendship." ”
"I know that." Yang Qiu understood what he meant, and continued: "If the German government approves the plan this time. You're in charge of choosing people. The list of skilled workers required by the Ministry of Industry should be sent soon, and you will be able to recruit in Germany, Austria and Hungary according to the list above. I have already planned that the production lines of crankshafts, water turbines, power transmission and transformation, and bearings of several shipyards will be handed over to them for the time being, so I must pay attention when signing the contract. After getting the visa, you must work for 5 years and you must bring apprentices! It is better to lack than to abuse. In addition, you will find a way to recruit a group of overseas Chinese who know German to support you. I've calculated it, it's about four or five thousand translations, and there is still a shortage in China. ”
After determining the details of the introduction of foreign workers, Yang Qiu was concerned about the situation in France. Wang Zhengting has become accustomed to his leapfrog thinking, and has roughly explained the situation in France. Although the Ruhr crisis was made by France, the coal and steel alone could not compensate for the huge cost of occupation. Coupled with British and American pressure, France's withdrawal was a foregone conclusion.
The French economy was on the verge of collapse because it was devastated by the war and various post-war arrears, and the Ruhr could not recover its costs by spending a huge amount of money to send troops. Yang Qiu did not intervene in the Mark crisis because Britain and the United States were very close to the German issue, and engaging in wind and rain would cause dissatisfaction between the two countries, but he was not ready to let go of the franc crisis. The first is that Britain and the United States are very jealous of France, and secondly, this is the French version of the "silver crisis" staged by the Rothschilds and Morgans to control the Bank of France. As long as they don't touch their interests, follow behind the ass to make a little money, to the Jewish world and their current relationship. The big deal is to be vigilant.
That's why he brought Pei Zuyi out, ready to put him in charge of this matter, which can be regarded as a test for him. However, Wang Zhengting was a little frightened, and when he heard Yang Qiu's intention to mobilize the country's foreign exchange reserves to speculate on francs, he was a little worried, after all, France was not the Republic of China where the currency was chaotic and the gold and silver were exchanged, and all laws and systems were relatively sound.
However, Yang Qiu had made up his mind to take advantage of the chaos in the European economy and currency to increase the country's foreign exchange reserve income, and he could only secretly cheer up and carefully cooperate with Pei Zuyi. so as not to cause losses.
After receiving the news that Yang Qiu had visited Germany and began to contact the German high-level to discuss the matter, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and the industrial and commercial departments in Nanjing worked out the types and quantities of skilled workers needed, and at the same time convened the bosses and managers of the major manufacturing industries across the country to discuss the management methods, and strive to make these foreign workers give full play to their effectiveness.
In addition to production, the family members in the back are placed. Eating and drinking and so on need to be improved immediately, after all, Yang Qiu's job is just to find the people that the company wants. As for how to use it and how to place it, it is a matter of the following, and he can't ask them one by one.
I was a little surprised that I thought that the manufacturing tycoons would be more repulsive to foreign workers because their wages and placement fees were much higher than those of Chinese workers, but I didn't expect that as each factory fell into a shortage of senior technicians, resulting in production capacity and products that could not compete with foreign goods, I was looking forward to foreign workers to help break through the barriers. However, Cai Jimin is more worried that there will be unemployment problems because foreign workers will impact the jobs of Chinese workers. In the end, Zheng Tingxiang and Yan Xishan promised to increase the number of jobs, which made him feel a little at ease.
Hu Weide presided over the meeting, and led everyone to quickly sort out a list and resettlement methods, and prepared to report to the presidential palace and Yang Qiu in Europe, but the secretary brought bad news before the telegram was sent.
Seeing that his face changed suddenly, Yan Xishan and Zheng Tingxiang both stayed and asked, "Prime Minister, what's wrong?" ”
Hu Weide stomped his feet and handed the list to the secretary: "Go, quickly contact the vice president." After arranging it, he glanced at the two of them and sighed: "Matsupo's condition has deteriorated." ”
When Cai's condition deteriorated, the Munich beer can riots had also been suppressed, and German society had returned to some calm, so Friedrich Ebert, the first president of Germany in Weimar, finally had his hands free to entertain the visiting Yang Qiu.
In the room, Yan Yuqiu was helping Yang Qiu sort out his dress, and when his slender fingers slid through his neck, he remembered Lu Bicheng, who was visiting the United States for the first time as a guest secretary, and secretly thought that he should settle the matter between the two of them when he went back this time.
Yan Yuqiu quietly paid attention to Yang Qiu while arranging his clothes, and when he saw him staring at him in a daze, a trace of blush suddenly passed behind his ears. After following Yang Qiu for more than half a year, she has been completely attracted by Yang Qiu's attitude and seriousness towards work, especially the appearance of being engrossed in various work matters every time she corrects documents and revises various work matters, which makes her heart pound.
Seeing him staring at him at this moment, the fawn jumped around and didn't know where he got the courage to pretend to be bold: "Vice, vice president, why do you think of me like this?" ”
Yang Qiu was thinking about her marriage to Lu Bicheng, and she didn't pay attention to Yan Yuqiu's tone and demeanor, and saw that she was still wearing an ordinary Western-style suit. smiled: "Didn't you ask Lu Zhengxiang to prepare an evening dress for you?" Why isn't it pretty? ”
"But me?" How can a woman not love beauty, let alone Yan Yuqiu, who has lived in the UK for a long time, has long hoped that she will be able to wear a dress one day. But she is now a secretary and is afraid that someone will misunderstand her when she puts it on. Yang Qiu didn't have so many ideas. The three women around him had already made him very content, and he smiled slightly: "Follow the customs." There will be a lot of German aristocrats and high-ranking officials in attendance tonight, so go and change them. ”
"Hmm." Yan Yuqiu secretly glanced at Yang Qiu, her heart beat faster, and she hurriedly escaped under the pretext of packing some things, preparing to attend the reception dinner held by the German president.
As soon as the lights are on, Berlin, which has lifted its curfew, finally reveals a hint of a cosmopolitan city. After Yan Yuqiu dressed up. Even Yang Qiu's eyes lit up. The white silk evening dress tightly wrapped around her slender and delicate body, and the black fox skin scarf was draped at will, which complemented the white greasy skin exposed on her chest, and with high heels, she looked not much shorter than Yang Qiu.
What made Yang Qiu secretly amused was that the little girl didn't know what to stuff into her chest, and she was actually one size bigger than usual.
When we arrived at the German presidential palace, it was already crowded, and the banquet hall was crowded with invited dignitaries. As the first highest-ranking official of the Allied powers to visit after the war, Yang Qiu's behavior of "throwing dollars" for nothing has spread. In addition, China was the first to explicitly renounce post-war reparations. And the country that provided food aid to Germany the year after the end of the year, so many people wanted to see this powerhouse who actually controlled the Far East.
When Yang Qiu finally appeared at the door, the flashing lights scorched everyone like a blazing fireball. A lot of Germans were amazed at his age. Thinking that it has been 8 years since he unified the country, I am even more curious about how he did it.
What makes Yang Qiu secretly lament is that Germany at this time is very much like China in 1912. The tops were full of political ideology, local armed secession, hunger, unemployment, and inflation were exacerbated, and foreign invaders such as France, Belgium, and Poland took advantage of the opportunity to encroach on their national territories, as well as the heavy burden of reparations, all of which paved the way for the birth of the Nazis.
But Albert, the first president of Weimar, and Hindenburg, who was on the verge of recovering defeat in Germany, diluted these thoughts. He also met Tirpitz, known as the father of the German navy, and many star-studded generals in the European War, but unfortunately Ludendorff, who he wanted to see the most, was temporarily placed under house arrest because he was implicated in the beer can riots.
The reporters also asked all kinds of strange questions, and some even asked Yan Yuqiu if he was his fourth wife.
Under Traun's collusion, the German government did not make it too difficult to recruit workers, but was very interested in some things in Yang Qiu's hands. Tirpitz wears his famous mustache. bluntly expressed great interest in the design of the island-class heavy cruisers of Taiwan: "What a surprising battleship, was it designed independently by your country?" ”
Yang Qiu knew what this old and strong guy was paying attention to, although the German Navy was tied, it could be seen from those naval people in Hakan how unwilling they were. And he also knew that it was this old guy who secretly supported it, and large companies such as Krupp had even secretly built shipyards in countries such as the Netherlands in an attempt to make a comeback. Moreover, he obviously knew about the Rhineland plan when he asked this, so he suspected that Taiwan's island-level heavy patrol had received help from some foreign companies.
You can't tell him that he copied the Italian retour a few years later, right? So Yang Qiu nodded solemnly: "All the designs are completed independently by my country. Of course, I would like to thank ZEISS for the sophisticated rangefinder. ”
This openness in acknowledging the extensive use of foreign parts pleased Tirpitz and Hindenburg, who were even more upset when they heard that the design had been done independently in China: "It's a really good design." ”
Yang Qiu is not stupid, first boasted about the German Navy, and then expressed the hope of enhancing cooperation between the two countries, meaning that he could let the German Navy send people to investigate, as for what can be investigated, there is no pressure at all to learn from what can be learned, after all, there are still more than ten years before the German Navy is rearmed. But Tirpitz was overjoyed by this statement, and immediately expressed his personal support for China's recruitment of high-level Jewish technicians.
The Navy veterans agreed, President Albert supported it without reservation, and Hindenburg took the opportunity to blackmail all the designs and drawings of the T2 armored vehicle to express his support. The enthusiasm of these old guys made Yang Qiu speechless, especially the hint of sending the Jews away, which made him understand why even the Rothschilds could not remain indifferent after the 500 non-commissioned officer and cadet places were given, because the whole world did not like them.
With their assurances, Albert immediately promised to allow the Chinese government to recruit high-level Jewish technicians in places such as Kiel, Berlin and Hamburg under the pretext of agricultural cooperation, and to allow advertisements to be placed. Yang Qiu was also very happy to be able to recruit openly, and hurriedly glanced at Lu Zhengxiang, quietly stuffed a few signed Swiss bank checks, and shouted Sino-German friendship, and asked the press to take pictures of several people shaking hands, and finally announced in public that Traun was hired as the general manager of the German side of the "Sino-German Agricultural Technology Exchange Company", and cooperated with Wang Zhengting in screening.
The atmosphere of the banquet gradually reached **, and Traun, who had regained his life, also took the initiative to introduce him to tonight's guests, and when an American guest from afar appeared in front of him, Yang Qiu's face couldn't help but stiffen.
"This is His Excellency Herbert Hoover, the United States Relief Administration, who is actively lobbying the world to assist refugees in our country and Moscow, and he is a respectable man."
Esteemed? Yang Qiu sneered heartily, almost instinctively disliked this bastard who sold Chinese workers as piglets!
Hoover, who became famous for rescuing the Soviet famine, was so proud that he didn't notice his momentary distraction, and stretched out his hand with a smile: "It's a great honor to meet you, and I should thank you on behalf of Moscow for your generosity in opening up the railroad and allowing grain to cross the border to help the hungry refugees." ”
The opening of the railway network for Soviet Russia to transport disaster relief grain is very little known even in China, but it was said by Hoover, which shows how deeply this guy interferes in Russia! But I also have to admit that this guy is definitely a genius-level profiteer, and it is his active work that keeps Moscow from immediately blocking the country, and because he has always maintained a special relationship between the United States and the Soviet Union, and even the tension in Europe caused by the rapid recovery of armaments by the Nazis after they came to power is inseparable from the support of his presidency.
The reporter who heard for the first time the news of China's opening of the railway for the transportation of relief grain to Moscow suddenly became excited, and Yang Qiu had no choice but to accept the interview with a smile, sing a high-sounding "humanitarian" hymn, and also express his praise and admiration for Hoover's work. Hoover also used this to spread his ideas and gain political capital for the next level after returning home.
Only Lu Zhengxiang on the side saw that Yang Qiu didn't like Hoover, who had become purple in European political circles recently, and after everyone's attention turned to Hoover, he smiled and asked quietly: "This guy has been very popular in Europe and the United States recently." ”
"Welcome? Hum! A human trafficker! Yang Qiu did not hide his dislike for Hoover, but he had to control his emotions in his position, so after Hoover was interviewed, he talked enthusiastically again, and also tried to ask if he had the intention of returning to his old profession and continuing to look for large deposits around the world, saying that the two could cooperate.
Hoover had always been enthusiastic about making money, and immediately said that he could consider it, but he had to wait for the disaster relief to be completed, and he himself was no longer able to interfere, so he would send someone else to contact.
It's always a good thing to be able to catch up with the future president of the United States, but before she could chat a few words, Yan Yuqiu hurriedly walked over, and when she saw her dressed up Hoover's eyes lit up, she seemed to be surprised that Yang Qiu still had such a beauty beside her.
Yan Yuqiu didn't care about other people's eyes, she only had Yang Qiu in her eyes, stuffed the telegram transferred from outside into the palm of her hand, and said softly: "Vice President, the domestic telegram, General Cai, I'm afraid he can't do it." ”…… (To be continued.)
