Chapter 255: Growing Pains
[255] Growing pains
In order to enhance the international status of the People's Republic of China, Yao Fan decided to provide advanced medical knowledge to the world free of charge, and provided pathological research and treatment methods for more than 170 common diseases.
Of course, Yao Fan did not give up on the patent and manufacturing technology of the drug.
All of a sudden, all the doctors in the world were diligently studying the information published by China.
A group of famous Japanese doctors are meeting to discuss the medical materials provided by China to Japan.
"It's amazing! Chinese medicine is so prospering! The chief officer of the Lan Medical Workshop, Otetsu Xiang, said with emotion.
Mori Shinkazu, a well-known local doctor from Kyushu, said excitedly: "As the Chinese Ministry of Health said, China's decision to provide their research results to the world free of charge is the purpose of international communism for the benefit of all mankind. ”
Sanjo Nari, a young doctor who came to Beijing from Kumamoto Prefecture, nodded: "According to the information released by China, various diseases such as pneumonia, septicaemia, athlete's foot, cold and heat, and wound ulceration can now be effectively and completely cured. When I think that these diseases that used to kill people are so vulnerable to Chinese medicine and treatments, I must express my highest respect for Chinese medicine. ”
Otezong said: "But to treat these diseases, all that is needed is the special medicine produced in China." ”
The Maori gentleman grabbed Bai and said: "As long as you can bring the dead back to life, no matter how expensive the medicine is, it is worth it." If I had been able to get the Chinese special medicine last year, Prince Doronomiya's young son would not have died in my hands! ”
These well-known Japanese physicians nodded their heads, and most of their patients were either rich or expensive, and were not sensitive to the price of medicines.
……………………
Similarly, Europe and the United States are now flooded with Chinese medicines, after all, the scientific medical reports issued by China are easy for Western medicine to accept.
Doctors were shocked by the effectiveness of Chinese medicines after trying them out on patients. As a result, the market demand for various drugs made in China has skyrocketed like a rocket.
At this time, Sino-German relations, with the rise of trade volume, entered a honeymoon period.
German Chancellor Bismarck finally chose to lose his voice and gave up the negotiations between Britain and France and Russia on the Bosphorus Strait access to the sea.
Although this made the international banking syndicate extremely dissatisfied, in the face of the huge profits brought by Chinese goods, the powerful comprador class formed by layers of distribution was gradually controlling its own forces and political representatives.
In 1879, Yao Fan also got married in the 21st century, and his wife was Zhou Hanzhen. Because of Yao Fan's strong pursuit, Zhou Hanzhen finally decided to marry him after achieving success in his career.
Yao Fan did not hide his identity as a military intelligence officer, but he did not tell Zhou Hanzhen that he was engaged in space-time trade.
Under the explanation of the central leading comrades, Zhou Hanzhen expressed his understanding of the nature of Yao Fan's work that can only go home once every two months, after all, it is a secret front to compose loyal hymns for the country, Zhou Hanzhen feels a little lost, but he feels very honored as a family member.
At the end of 1880, the first five-year plan was completed.
The People's Republic of China has initially succeeded in building its own basic industries, including basic metallurgy, power generation, basic chemical industry, machinery design and manufacturing, instrument manufacturing, petroleum exploitation and refining, and so on.
At the same time, the construction of the main railway and road lines connecting the whole country was completed, and the Republic began to produce its own steam locomotives and diesel locomotives at the same time. Jeeps and tractors began to be massively put into civilian use.
The government at all levels of the republic has also entered a period of stability, with state-owned banks covering the whole country, and state-run department stores and supermarkets with various small and medium-sized businesses privately owned throughout the country.
As a result of the strictest immigration controls, foreign countries have never been able to get a glimpse of the Republic's technology, and have been repeatedly shocked by the technology contained in the new goods exported by China.
A large number of copycat products have appeared in various countries, such as fountain pens, thermos flasks, bicycles, folding umbrellas and other goods have appeared with low-quality competitors, but in the face of China's high-quality products, countries can only raise tariffs to protect domestic industries.
Due to the continuous improvement of China's position in world trade, the situation in European countries began to be tense, and the national industries and handicraft industries of various countries that were hit hard by Chinese commodities experienced a certain period of unemployment or transformation.
Among them, due to its close relationship with China, Germany has taken transformation measures in industry, building domestic ports into distribution centers for Chinese commodities and supporting Chinese commodities on a large scale, and Germany is unique in the economic environment of the whole Europe.
For a time, the rhetoric that Germany wanted to unify Europe with the Chinese as a traitor to Europe was very loud.
The international banking syndicate, based in Great Britain, began to plot to encourage Germany to start a large-scale war with its neighbors, so that British and international banking capital would benefit from it, preferably to devastate the entire European continent and at the same time destroy Germany, a growing European traitor.
Germany, sensing the British malice, immediately communicated privately and secretly with China.
Later, Wilhelm I brazenly decided to dismiss Bismarck, who had the background of an international banking syndicate#, and at the same time intensified the rapprochement with the left-wing parties such as the Social Democratic Party and the Communist Party of Germany in Germany, and agreed to raise the minimum wage for workers on the condition that strikes and sabotage of production machines were stopped.
At the same time, Yao Fan also ordered the German branch of the Comintern to stop making trouble, but to continue to vigorously develop the grassroots party organizations.
Russia, with the support of Chinese loans, retained the Black Sea Fleet's access to the sea in the face of the British and French blockade. At the same time, Russia, like other European countries, imposed high surcharges on Chinese goods, thus protecting domestic industry on the one hand, and earning high taxes on the other.
While continuing to invest heavily in the construction of the Trans-Siberian Railway, Russia hoped to lead the Slavic countries and regions as the leader of the Orthodox Church and the savior of the Slavic peoples, to obtain Constantinople from the Ottoman Turks, so as to completely control the Black Sea outlets.
In 1881, with the financial support of the International Bank Syndicate, various far-right bourgeois liberalization parties active in the Russian underground united to form the People's Will Party, plotting to assassinate the Tsar, overthrow the monarchy, and establish a bourgeois regime.
After receiving the information, the Russian Communist Party informed China, but the Comintern, headquartered in Beijing, chose not to participate, and at the same time did not warn the Russian government, ordering the Russian Communist Party to stand idly by.
In the spring of 1881, the Assassins threw bombs under Alexander II's carriage, and the Tsar was finally blown off both legs in strict accordance with history, and died of excessive bleeding in the fifth assassination attempt of his life.
After Alexander III succeeded to the throne, on the one hand, he strengthened his infiltration into the Ili region of Xinjiang, and on the other hand, he carried out a military operation aimed at plundering labor in the Mongolian region, and used Cossack cavalry to capture hundreds of Mongolian herdsmen as workers in the Sino-Russian border area to speed up the construction of the Trans-Siberian Railway.
In Alexander III's view, this is not only a response to China's support for the Russian Communist Party, a large number of Ukrainian left-wing parties led by the Russian Communist Party, but also a counterattack to China's repeated refusal to sell advanced technology and equipment to Russia.
At the same time, Alexander III also had a consideration, that is, to ease the contradiction with Britain and France, hoping that Britain and France would turn their guns on Germany, which had close relations with China, and relax their interference in the Balkans.
The development of China in recent years has made Russia see an ominous omen, and in the eyes of a large number of Russian aristocrats, left-wing parties are more like beasts of prey than right-wing parties. These left-wing parties, in collusion with all the workers and peasants, are clamoring for rebellion.
If the right-wing political parties are just engaged in the dictatorship of the bourgeoisie, the aristocratic landlords can still live under a different banner, but if it is the dictatorship of the proletariat, the fate of the royal families and landlords in Annam, Chao#Xian, and even in China is now known to the whole world.
In addition, in the past two years, the Russian Communist Party, with the support of the Comintern, has integrated theory with practice, and its underground activities and infiltrations have been extremely ferocious and intense, and it has begun to go on strike to demand a better treatment of the workers. Russia warned China many times, but Yao Fan categorically denied it, and instead demanded that Russia raise the status of workers and recognize the legalization of the Russian Communist Party.
But Russia has not even been a constitutional monarchy these years, so how can it accept the legalization of the Russian Communist Party and several other coalitions of left-wing parties? As a result, relations between Russia and China began to deteriorate sharply, and the more troublesome they became, became more and more stale.
Yao Fan was angry.
It was the far-right party that carried out the assassination, and it had nothing to do with the Comintern, so what kind of prestige did you Alexander III come to shake with Lao Tzu? Do you know how old you are?
Yao Fan was also embarrassed.
His original target was Southeast Asia, and as long as Europe was in chaos, he planned to take Southeast Asia, take Malaya from Britain and the Philippines from Spain, and completely turn the western Pacific Ocean into an inland lake of China.
But Alexander III made such a fuss, and he couldn't help but give him some color, but this was related to his entire strategic layout. It's like playing chess in a different order, if you reverse it, the effect will be completely different.
In the event of a war with Russia, if the country cannot be destroyed in a war, the long border between the two countries will become a big trouble, and small-scale conflicts will inevitably continue. The manipulation of a fighting nation is to fight to the end.
But if the country is destroyed in World War I, Germany will inevitably be scared, and the whole of Europe may unite to resist the "Yellow # Peril", and Britain, the-stirring stick, will get another respite.
Moreover, it is very difficult to destroy the country in World War I, the span of tens of thousands of kilometers, the logistics and supply consumption of troops are too great, after all, the Trans-Siberian Railway has not yet been repaired.
So the Central Military Commission held a meeting to discuss, and at the meeting for a whole week, the members of the Military Commission and the General Staff Headquarters of the various military regions gave various plans, and in the end, Yao Fan finally made a decision to adjust the previous strategy, not only to attack Malaya in Britain, the Philippines in Spain, and Java in the Netherlands, but also to strike hard at Russia at the same time.
"There are some things, it is useless to say with your mouth, you can only rely on beating, the barrel of the gun is in your hand, not used as a burning stick, if you don't beat it hard, kill some people, and no one will take you seriously if you say it 10,000 times." Yao Fan concluded at the meeting.
