Chapter 1098: Giving Yasuya Uchida a Horse (Second Update)
The large-scale arrest of the Kuomintang can be called a classic operation of the secret service organization, such a large-scale arrest nationwide, secrecy measures, coordination of various departments, and well-evidenced actions have enabled Feng Yinbin to make up for all his past mistakes overnight, and Wang Maoru is also starting to promote Feng Yinbin again.
Due to the gradual relaxation of martial law in China, Sino-foreign trade has once again become active, but exports from China are still dominated by crafts and raw materials, and after the outbreak of the pandemic, China's export industry has one more business, medicinal materials and medicines. China's three major Chinese medicine factories in Harbin, Qiqihar and Changchun also became rich overnight, and although they spent a lot of money to provide free medicines to the Chinese people, their anti-influenza banlangen powder was indeed worth thousands of gold abroad, so that in August, the three major Chinese medicine factories were only 20 million silver dollars in foreign sales, and in September they soared to 200 million silver dollars. In order to expand the scale of production, the three major traditional Chinese medicine factories decided to jointly form Hua's Pharmaceutical Group, and the chairman is still known as Kong Qingxi, the king of medicine in Northeast China. In order to commemorate Hua Tuo, a great scientist in ancient China, the Kong family has also become the most wealthy and influential family in China in just half a year, and it has also become one of the thirteen great families of the United States of China in the future.
In the southern province of Guangdong, the Huang family of Guangdong Lufeng raised funds from the Guangdong Chamber of Commerce to establish the Huang Pharmaceutical Group following the example of the Fahrenheit Group. In addition to following the trend of launching anti-influenza drugs, the Huang Group also believes that the surgical operation of Western medicine will gradually rise in China in the future, and many problems that cannot be solved by traditional Chinese medicine can be treated by Western medicine by surgical methods, and has established China's largest western medical school, Huaxia Medical University, in Guangzhou, which has trained tens of thousands of Western medical talents for China. Although the Huang family's wealth does not fall within the top 50 of the United States of China, its contribution to China is unattainable.
At a time when China's export industry, especially the pharmaceutical export industry, is blowing out. Japanese Prime Minister Yasuya Uchida arrived at the Japanese Concession in Tianjin, China, with a heavy face, and saw the decay of the Japanese Concession in Tianjin due to the Chinese government's announcement of the quarantine of the concession, the yellow-skinned Japanese, the expatriates who committed suicide out of despair, and the disgust and contempt of the Japanese by other expatriates in the concession. This kind of disdain is not something that a cannon can beat. It's a visceral disdain.
In Tianjin, Yasuya Uchida arrived at Beijing's Nanyuan Airport on three Prisoner Niu-2 transport planes specially dispatched by the Chinese Government to carry a delegation of the Japanese prime minister.
In the minds of Yasuya Uchida and others, China was originally a backward country, with dull eyes, a hopeless land, and a race with only interests in their eyes, but they saw the Chinese army aviation and the sturdy pilots. After the energetic guard of honor, the impression of China immediately changed drastically.
At a time when Japanese planes could only take pilots at most, China was already able to produce a large Prisoner Ox 2 aircraft carrying more than 40 people, and even Yasuya Uchida went to the cockpit to watch the flight of the plane, and the incomprehensible professional name had a great impact on him. Unfortunately, the plane flew in the air for only half an hour. Arriving at Nanyuan Airport, Uchida Yasuya did not have time to fully appreciate the feeling of taking a plane.
As the Japanese premier traveled to China, the top leaders of the Chinese government also came to welcome him, and despite the fact that it was a time of martial law, the Chinese government welcomed the crowd at all.
Headed by Premier Tang Shaoyi, Minister of National Defense Wang Maoru and Minister of Foreign Affairs Lu Zhengxiang, Uchida Yasuya got off the plane. The first thing I saw was not Tang Shaoyi, but a middle-aged man standing behind her on the right side wearing a black woolen marshal military uniform - Wang Maoru, the devil of the Far East in the Japanese population.
Soldiers from two companies seconded from the Guards Regiment of the Guards Headquarters of the Ministry of National Defense served as temporary guard of honor, and each of them was composed of 20-year-old soldiers with an average height of 1.8 meters from Shandong and Zhili provinces, wearing black long leather boots, wearing traditional black military uniforms, brown cross armed belts, and a five-colored star in the middle of the black cap shining in the sun. As soon as the sunlight flashed, the three-edged bayonet instantly reflected Yangguan into a murderous aura and scattered in all directions.
Two infantry companies, with a total of 220 men, stood in two rows in front and rear, half a meter in a position, with a total length of 55 meters. When Yasuya Uchida and his party stepped off the plane, they were about to take a step along the red carpet. Wang Ke, as the guide, shouted: "Honor guard, salute!" β
"Huh!" 220 Stand straight in unison.
"Huh!" 220 people immediately raised their right arms half-up.
"Smack!" 220 people held the butt of the Minjiu rifle together in their left hands.
"Please ......," Wang Ke said, guiding on one side of the carpet, on the other side of the carpet were Chinese Premier Tang Shaoyi, Minister of National Defense Wang Maoru, and Minister of Foreign Affairs Gu Weijun.
It was the Japanese premier who walked over, not the Chinese premier who greeted him, which made Uchida Yasuya and his party suddenly feel greatly insulted, and the military attachΓ©s who followed Uchida's side immediately became excited, but Kato Takaaki, special representative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, stretched out his hand to stop everyone and said to Uchida Yasuya: "Your Excellency, we used this method when we forced Li Hongzhang to sign the "Shimonoseki Treaty", and the Chinese are trying to intimidate us and make us lose in the next negotiations. β
Yasuya Uchida sighed and said to the people behind him, "Don't be angry, show your courage." He glanced at the row of tall middle-class people, and said with a smile: "Although the telephone pole is very long, they are going to serve us, and they will fall when we want to let them fall, won't they?" β
Stepping on the red carpet, a group of Japanese politicians and diplomats, who are only 1.6 meters tall and the tallest is only 1.7 meters, walked towards the Chinese leader under the gaze of the tall Chinese temporary honor guard.
When Yasuya Uchida came over, Tang Shaoyi and others finally walked up to greet them, and after the two sides met, Yasuya Uchida and Tang Shaoyi clasped their hands together. Yasuya Uchida is a Japanese diplomat who studied in the United States and the United Kingdom, and served as Japan's ambassador to the United States, China, Austria, and Switzerland, and was the head of spies in China for a long time. This time, he was appointed to negotiate with China, and the Japanese cabinet also took into account his familiarity with China.
Yasuya Uchida said in fluent English, "Premier Tang, I very much hope that our negotiations will benefit both China and Japan. β
Tang Shaoyi said: "On behalf of the Chinese people, I welcome the arrival of Prime Minister Uchida and hope that our negotiations will go smoothly and benefit the Chinese and Japanese peoples. β
After seeing Wang Maoru, Yasuya Uchida stretched out his hand and said, "I see you again, my old friend, Your Excellency Shangwu." β
Wang Maoru shook hands with him and smiled: "We are both old friends and old rivals, and we are really a lifelong fate." β
Yasuya Uchida was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then laughed and said, "You're right, you're both a friend and an opponent. β
In fact, the negotiation of the concession is very likely to be the last task of Yasuya Uchida's tenure, after all, no matter how much one has contributed, the crime of returning the concession to China is a big crime, and the Japanese emperor cannot afford it, so he can only find a scapegoat. Yasuya Uchida also knows that he is carrying the black pot for Japan and the emperor of Japan, but this is the political family, and this is also the fate of the political family.
The concession talks between China and Japan have been going on for two months, and the two sides have always struggled to reach an agreement. The price at which Gu Weijun and Lu Zongyu, who were in charge of negotiations with Japan, were fired was far from the price proposed by the Japanese government. The Japanese government's trump card is their powerful navy, the first in Asia and the third in the world. Japan's strong military superiority was enough to deter Asia, so despite the harsh domestic situation in Japan, they were resolutely unwilling to give up Chinese territory.
The Japanese government has gradually controlled the spread of influenza in China, but there is still panic in Japan, especially among the people, social chaos, and phenomena such as smashing and looting in the market, especially in the economic downturn, more and more factories are bankrupt and closed, and Japanese workers are rushing to the streets to confront the Japanese government. As Japan's domestic economic crisis erupted, the Bolshevik Party in Japan became more active, and after eliminating the workers' guerrillas in northern Japan two years earlier, it is now as if the workers' guerrillas were resurrected overnight for economic reasons.
This is also one of the reasons why the Japanese government is anxious to resolve the concession area, and to open up the world market again, it must first open the Chinese market, and if it wants to open the Chinese market, it must first talk about the concession issue.
