Chapter 46: The Worries of Foreign Friends
Chapter 46: The Worries of Foreign Friends
The General Staff Headquarters, led by the three chiefs of the General Staff, does not have to worry too much about the military affairs of Marshal Fang, and just sign the order when the time comes.
Of course, Fang Dashuai was not idle, the first work conference of political leaders of the United Autonomous Region was held in Wuchang, and Fang Dashuai had to rush back to Wuchang for a meeting. Since it is a meeting of dignitaries, the dignitaries of the three provinces naturally want to gather in Wuchang.
The meeting was large-scale, and the chairmen and vice-chairmen of the councils of the chief executives of the three provinces, as well as the chairmen and deputies of the garrison commanders of the three provinces, were present one after another. There is a very strange phenomenon that everyone has noticed, except for the provincial directors and departments, the provincial agricultural departments require the directors and deputy directors to attend the meeting. This phenomenon has brought some speculation.
The meeting was held in a very low-key manner, Chapter 46 The worries of foreign friends did not mean to be in the limelight at all. Adhering to the low-key and pragmatic work style of the United Autonomous Region since its establishment. But this kind of meeting is not something that you can ignore if you keep a low profile. The Qing family abdicated, and the three parties are starting a new round of discussions on how to establish a new republic. It's a big picture, specific to each place. The main force of the Beiyang Army was still in Shandong, and the provisional government took advantage of the armistice to reorganize. Yuan Shikai worked hard to win the support of various countries in Beijing, and sent a senior member Liang to discuss the aftermath of the loan.
Now that the public opinion is big, Yuan Shikai must be the provisional president, and the whole is also determined to be a republican system. There are two points of contention in the tripartite talks, one is the fixed capital, and the other is the prime minister system or the presidential system.
The issue of the capital has not been resolved for a long time, and the representatives of the United Autonomous Region of the tripartite meeting have raised the issue of setting the capital for a long time. Let's start with the Cabinet. So the quarrel ensued, and the Senate of the Nanjing Provisional Government held another meeting after Sun submitted his resignation speech. Tong guò three things, first, to determine the provisional government capital as Nanjing, and second. It was determined that the new government of the provisional covenant must abide by it, and third, Yuan Shikai was determined to be the provisional president. The Republic of China adopted the prime minister's cabinet system, and Yuan immediately went south to take over the post of president.
Let's be honest. This kind of unilateral decision attitude is very hateful. Chapter Forty-Six: Why Do You Have the Final Say on Foreign Friends' Worries? You are only the Senate of the Provisional Government, and there is not only one Beiyang who does not recognize you, but also many people.
Naturally, the Beiyang deputies wanted to oppose it, and the northern press circles also wanted to oppose it. The South is the opposite, and it is the North that has long been dominant, and it is natural to make demands as the times change, when the power of the South, which dominates the domestic economy, grows stronger.
So, the quarrel continued. In a noisy from the meeting to the outside. The newspaper continued to argue. Shanghai, a place where the essence of the times is gathered, is naturally an important stage. Newspapers large and small have taken this opportunity to show their faces more.
This period is probably the most chaotic and variable period in China. The old order was broken. A new order was not established. The independent provinces in the south were mostly small independent dynasties, and the northern provinces continued to serve the Manchu Qing dynasty.
It was in this environment that the freak of the United Autonomous Region turned his attention. There is no struggle for so-called dominance. This can make some foreign friends anxious.
As soon as Fang Jianxiong got on the "Hairong", German friends caught up with the ship, of course, these German friends are all acquaintances, one is the special envoy Andreas, the other is the brother Bier, and the new general manager of the Yangtze River area of Lihe Foreign Bank, Victor.
Fang Jianxiong stood on the deck, watching the three of them almost run up, smiling and about to turn around, he saw two familiar figures appear on the dock, so he had to stand and continue to wait.
Fisher and Douglas came from Shanghai, took a train to Nanjing, and then a car. It's much faster than taking a boat, and I hurried and hurried, and finally didn't delay things. However, when he saw Fang Jianxiong shaking hands with the three Germans, the expression of Douglas, a special adviser on China affairs specially hired by the US government, was not so gratifying.
"Fisher, it looks like we're still a step slower." Douglas said, Fisher raised his chin slightly, and said lightly: "No, we are actually ahead of the curve, although the Germans realize the value of the Chinese side, but they are one step slower in action, not to mention the pressure from Europe, forcing the German government to invest too much energy in China." ”
"Why are you so convinced, Mr. Fischer, that a protracted war will break out in Europe in the next few years?" Douglas's personal relationship with Fisher can now be said to be very good! The two agreed on many issues, and Fisher did not resell some views from Fang Jianxiong.
Straightening his tuxedo, Fisher smiled confidently, and said in a low voice as he walked forward: "Because this is a secret told by Fang to me, to Your Excellency, since I started to cooperate with the Venerable Fang, my net worth has increased more than ten times." It was from the noble Chinese side that I learned the trick of how to make a lot of money in this country. ”
Hearing the words "make a lot of money", Douglas's eyes didn't roll a little, and he hurriedly followed and asked in a low voice: "Can you tell me about the recent news?" ”
Fisher glanced lightly at the two sides on the deck who were talking enthusiastically, and said in a low voice: "It's very simple, investing in China, in the next ten years, you will get more than ten times the return." For example, I am in discussions with the Bank of China to jointly issue banknotes. The Bank of China advocates a silver standard, and I myself am fighting for this currency, known as the renminbi, pegged to the dollar. ”
"Oh my God!" Douglas was completely stunned that there was still such a deal to be made. Once this deal is made, what is the difference between it and the rain of money in the sky? It's like dozens of cats scratching Douglas's heart with their paws, trying to catch up and say something, Fisher has already stepped on the pedal, smiling confidently, and walking towards some big man.
"It's a pleasure to meet you, Venerable Fang. I came from Shanghai, and I was worried that I wouldn't make it. "Fisher, this guy, came forward to make a gesture, no matter how you look at it, it is under the charm of worshipping the party. Only an expert like Douglas can see that this Jew is simply bowing down to the charm of money. Participating in the issuance of a country's currency is such a fascinating thing. Douglas took a deep breath and told himself that he must not miss this opportunity, or God would punish him. So, the smile was full of respect.
"Honorable Fang, it's a pleasure to meet you."
Three Germans, very unhappy looking at the two Yankees, and one of them is a Jew, well, this is on Fang's territory, and we put up with it.
Fang Dashuai dove occupied the magpie's nest and received a group of foreign friends in the captain's command cabin. As both sides of the country have placed heavy bets on Fang Jianxiong, they are eager to know how well Fang Jianxiong has a grasp of the future of the country under the current political situation.
What the Republic of China is nonsense in everyone's eyes, China, an ancient country, needs a strong figure to dominate the regime the most, and this person is undoubtedly Fang Jianxiong, whom everyone bets on.
Of course, Fisher was not worried about this problem at all, and even Douglas was calm. As long as you can join in the issuance of a currency led by the country's most powerful military leader, no problem will be a problem. The key now is how China's currency will be issued, and if it can be pegged to the dollar, Douglas is sure that he will go down in American history. Even if he can't get pegged to the dollar, being able to participate in it will also make Douglas's value skyrocket and become a hot target for the U.S. financial community. So far, Fisher has succeeded in doing just that, and is on his way to a great goal, and he has to keep up. Thanks to this friend for the reminder, although he was well thought out, although he was not willing to intervene beforehand, although the fact that Fisher was willing to sue himself was that he was not strong enough. Any assumptions can be put aside for now, because Douglas knows that it feels good that he can calmly watch the Germans anxious.
"Fang, our government is deeply disturbed by the current situation in China today, and urgently wants to understand Your Excellency's political views and ...... during this period." Andreas's words were interrupted by Fang Jianxiong with a very impolite tidying up, and by the way, he also had a slightly forced look. In front of the Yankees, Mr. Special Envoy decided to endure it, after all, the other two compatriots had no meaning of life, and even looked very happy, waiting for Fang's next words with great interest. What's wrong with the world? Andreas asked incomprehensibly, in the process of coming to Wuhu from Shanghai, Victor, who accompanied him, when he mentioned Fang, the fanaticism was very unreal. It is still difficult to understand why, but Victor is one of the most successful German business people in China today.
"Okay, respected boss, hurry up and tell everyone what you mean, it's very rude to let the guests from afar be anxious." Biel, this guy, did not mean to be humiliated at all, but looked forward to it. What makes people fall through the glasses is that Fang Jianxiong actually accepted the flattery of the new generation of the most popular designer and the most popular industry in Germany today.
After waving, a beautiful woman appeared with a map in her hand and hung it on the wall, Fang Dashuai walked to the map, raised his hand and pointed: "Look at this, first of all, I want to tell you a good news, Hunan has decided to join the United Autonomous Region, and at the same time, the National Defense Force will enter Hunan to quell the rebellion within three days at the latest." Of course, I have always loved peace, so I will call on the rebels in Changsha to lay down their arms and surrender. Except for those who have committed the most heinous crimes, they will all be punished lightly. ”
No one could react from this news, Fang Dashuai crooked his mouth and said, "What's the matter?" Isn't this news a little applause? Well, I'll announce the second ....... ”
......The applause came a little late, but it was warm. (To be continued)RQ!!
