Buying America is an opportunity to make a fortune. But in 1935, having missed the best era of speculation after the Great Depression, the U.S. banking industry had fully recovered with the support of the government, and President Roosevelt's "New Deal" made the United States gradually get out of the swamp of economic crisis.

Zhong Yi values people more, to be precise, talents. In the thirties, when the economy was sluggish, many skilled workers and even high-end management talents preferred to choose to live in a different region, not only in the United States, but also in Europe. Therefore, Zhong Yi does not attach great importance to the success of Harding's acquisition, and it is more important to speed up the stabilization of the Australian situation, otherwise, even if there are talents who want to immigrate, people will never choose a war-torn country.

After telling Harding to pay attention to those key enterprises, Zhong Yi's attention turned back to negotiations with the British envoy. Arthur? Nevione? Chamberlain, this Chamberlain is not the NBA legendary superstar 100 percent king, Zhang Dashuai, Neville? Neville Chamberlain, then the British Chancellor of the Exchequer and leader of the Conservative Party, was born in a famous British political family, his father served as the Cabinet Secretary of State for the Colonies, and his half-brother Austin served as Chancellor of the Exchequer, Minister of India, Minister of the Keeper of the Seals, Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs and First Secretary of the Admiralty. Neville Chamberlain was trusted by Prime Minister Bordwin to become Chancellor of the Exchequer and had a considerable say in the Cabinet. Of course, these are all things that have happened in this era, only Zhong Yi still knows that after the abdication of Edward VIII, who only loves beauty and does not love the country, Chamberlain will replace the retired Baldwin as British Prime Minister, and during his term of office, he acquiesced in Italy's invasion of Ethiopia and Germany, Italy's armed intervention in Spain, and connived at Japan's invasion of China, and retreated again and again in the face of arrogant Nazi Germany, and even signed the "Anglo-German Declaration of Non-Aggression" with Hitler, but then he was slapped in the face by a mustache, and Germany invaded Poland, World War II broke out.

The special envoy to the negotiations who came to Australia was actually Chamberlain, the representative of the famous "appeasement policy", Zhong Yi pinched his nose, "Heaven will not stop me!" ”

Zhong Yi believes that there is much to talk about with the future British prime minister, such as the Irish issue, the Jewish purchase of Palestinian land, the issue of religious beliefs, and even the issue of the maximum working time for workers. In short, Zhong Yi hated Chamberlain very much in his previous life, and it was his indulgence that made Japan more and more unscrupulous in Asia and Germany in Europe. But now, Zhong Yi thinks that this Englishman, who looks serious and even a little old-fashioned, is very pleasing to the eye, Ireland can be independent, are you still short of Australia, a barren land?

Sitting in the farmhouse of the Governor's Palace, Chamberlain was also a little uncomfortable, not because the conditions here were much worse than at 10 Downing Street, but because ...... This was the first time Britain had faced negotiations after defeat. In fact, there is now a great deal of controversy over the defeat of the Far East Army and the Royal Navy's Mediterranean Squadron in Britain. Parliamentarians from the opposition Labour Party jumped up and down to demand that the home fleet continue to be sent and "those yellow-skinned monkeys" be severely punished, while there are many opinions within the Conservative Party that continue the war and oppose negotiations. Churchill, the defeat of the Mediterranean Squadron was regarded as a national shame by many British traditionalists, and Australia, one of the two British overseas Dominions, was the jewel on the scepter of the British crown.

These people are right, the dignity of the British Empire cannot be violated, and the glory of the Royal Navy must be inherited, but no one understands the current situation of Britain better than Chamberlain, who was the finance minister. The Great Depression in the United States has completely rushed to all European countries, the Austrian National Bank can fail, Deutsche Bank has proposed to suspend its operations, Britain is not comfortable, the British pound has depreciated, and it is inevitable to abandon the gold standard. Under such circumstances, if Britain mobilized a large army to fight in Australia, no matter whether it was won or lost, there was only one result, and Britain's finances were dragged down.

Staring at the young and confident yellow face opposite, Chamberlain's heart was also angry, the last fig leaf on the face of the British Empire was about to be torn off by this young man in his twenties?

Compared with the worries of the previous few days, Zhong Yi's is very relaxed now. The British can't afford to fight, they have no money, no army, unless they dare to mobilize India's forces and home fleet, but Zhong Yi bet that they wouldn't dare. India's independence was also on the rise, and the British would rather throw away ten Australias than give up one India. Australia is a matter of face for them, Commonwealth countries! And India is their bottom line, to put it mildly, now the British in the British Isles are pointing to the Indians to feed them.

What Australia has, wool can continue to be sold to them, wheat can continue to supply them, just a little, Australia can't be called a self-governing territory, an empire, a new empire, a new empire ruled by the Red Police.

But the negotiation had to come step by step, and Zhong Yi did not plan to get involved in the negotiations early, and getting along with the current British Chancellor of the Exchequer in front of him and the prime minister in two years was what he wanted. If the hard-liner Churchill is replaced, Zhong Yicai will be lazy to bird him.

Red wine and religion are the two gentlemen's passion, people's livelihood reform and economic cooperation represent the two similar political ideas, a few days later, the two delegations due to too big differences, about to break off the negotiations, but Zhong Yi and Chamberlain two sympathetic to each other, as if they have forgotten the New Year. However, the friendship of politicians is just like that, whoever is serious will lose. Chamberlain's agreement to sit down at the negotiating table was due to a series of muscle-measuring activities by the military. In Canberra, Zhong Yi accompanied Chamberlain to watch the live-fire exercise of the 126th Regiment of the Second Armored Brigade, 100 Type 59 tanks and 60 Cheetah wheeled armored vehicles quickly broke through the trench obstacles and bunker groups set up by the "enemy", and after cutting off the enemy's position, they engaged in a tank battle with the enemy's reinforcement armored units.

What's even more exciting is that in Melbourne, the commander of the Gao Jian Regiment of the Air Force Division Flying Regiment led eight Jian-5 to perform a series of difficult maneuvers for the British Minister of Finance, what cobra maneuver, X-style rolling, of course, these difficult maneuvers have not yet been published, and their invention is never ashamed of plagiarism.

Chamberlain offered to see the jet bombers that would defeat the Mediterranean Fleet, and Zhong Yi granted his wish, and after the Battle of Philip Bay, these fighters were no longer a secret. But Zhong Yi was still modest: in fact, it was not the bombers who defeated the Mediterranean Fleet, they had nothing to do about the dead ships, but the particularity of Phillip Bay made Admiral Pound have no way to continue fighting, and if he continued to fight, the replenishment of the fleet would be a problem, right? Chamberlain's retinue nodded in agreement, and no one in the British army before World War II, especially the Royal Navy officers, was willing to deny the importance of battleships, and the sinking of the Athletic and Coventry, and the survival of the Royal Oak and the Malaya proved that naval warfare was still the age of battleships.
