Foreign affairs, domestic affairs and economy, this is what Yang Rui wants to roughly explain today, although Song Jiaoren is not good, the Court of Suspicion can initiate a no-confidence case and push the spare Du Yaquan to form a cabinet, but he still hopes that things will not be ugly; Besides, Song Jiaoren has been in the political arena for more than ten years, his vision and skills have been honed to perfection, and at the age of 45, he is in the prime of life as a politician, and judging from his performance over the years, he still has a good hope of becoming a prime minister.

At nine o'clock in the evening, Song Jiaoren, who was so drunk that his face was red, took his leave; Zhang Taiyan became more and more strict with his wife, and after Song Jiaoren left, he was also taken away by Tang Guoli, this time Xie Zhangtai's family members did not come, so when the table of the female dependents began to be cleaned up, only Yang Rui and Xie Jintai were still drinking in the restaurant.

"It's ripe at the beginning." Xie Zhangtai said after Song Jiaoren left: "Sometimes I am really worried that he will lead the Kuomintang to push us down, and then they will be a big party and we will be a small party. ”

"The Kuomintang is just a few excellent people, after these people go down, who else will they have?" Yang Rui didn't care about the threat of the Kuomintang, "Not to mention the generals of the Revival Army who will enter the political arena after retiring, and even the gentry and the like who have newly joined the Association are not something that the Kuomintang can compete with." At the beginning of the day, he was still stingy, you can see that he put the Kuomintang headquarters in the Huguang Guild Hall, does this not clear that the Kuomintang is the Huguang Party? The other provinces will obey them? ”

"But we're torn apart." Although the election of the Fourth Inspector's Yuan has not yet been completed, Xie Jintai still foresees that the new representatives will definitely be completely different from the previous puppet representatives, although these people may listen to some words when they first come up, but by the end they will be familiar with the rules of the game. Knowing that their roots are completely in the state capital, they will definitely be dishonest if they have long and hard wings.

"Fall apart, fall apart." Yang Rui didn't care. "From the fourth session onwards, the bills passed by the Inspectorate are the real bills. Didn't we control it all before? ”

"But ......" Xie Jintai looked at Yang Rui carefully, and he said seriously: "Although things have changed over time, it is useless to say more, but you really hope that the political situation will become like this?" In France, for example, the cabinet collapsed once in a few months. ”

"Of course not in France." Yang Rui smiled, "But in the United States and Britain, if the president and prime minister don't go to work, and the White House and Whitehall are closed, what does it matter, because the power is not in the government at all, and who cares if the government is closed?" Now finance, economy, public opinion, and industry are all controlled or influenced by us. It really doesn't matter if there is a government or not. If Song Dunchu doesn't work, he will change Wang Dunchu, and if Wang Dunchu is disobedient, he will change Liu Dunchu, and Liu Dunchu will be naughty, so change it again. Zhang San, Li Si, Wang Wu, Zhao Liu, whoever is obedient will come to power, and if it doesn't work, then just find a gentry to go up. The struggle in the future will be between the government and the Inspectorate, but the Inspectorate can collapse at any time, so according to the existing law, the government will lose. ”

Yang Rui's thoughts were also known to Xie Zhangtai before. He laughed, "Then what if you don't follow the law?" ”

"There are only three paths: revolution, populism, and war." Yang Rui said, "Revolution and war are both force, and it is said that Du Wen of Doshisha." She has been questioning the fighting power of the Baxing Army, saying that it is just a material transport team like the Qing army, and she claims that once the workers are mobilized to occupy the city. Her workers' pickets were able to wipe out the troops that had gone to encircle and suppress them, and to arm themselves with the weapons of the enemy. Hehe......"

Yang Rui thought of the intelligence bureau's plan for Du Wen to mobilize workers and carry out urban riots. And those data, it's funny. Even if Stalin had helped Doshisha train a group of officers, it would not have worked. Thinking that the Hangzhou Uprising of the Fuxing Army was defeated, it still had to rely on Yuan Shikai's selfishness to save a life under the guns of the Beiyang Army, and there were hundreds of officers transferred from outside the customs, airships to supply ammunition, the steep terrain of Yanzhou, and the half-hearted support of the locals.

Her messy plans and figures can only deceive the revolutionary party. In the countryside in the future, according to the new reserve law, there are no more peasant soldiers, only clan soldiers and Trinity instructors, both of whom buy guns at their own expense, and are under the jurisdiction of the General Staff for training in peacetime, and are only incorporated into the active army in wartime, and their interests are completely consistent with those of the rulers. And in the city, not to mention the patrol police, tax police, and business groups, who really wants to riot in the city, it is too late for the General Staff to be happy.

Thinking about Du Wen, who was parasitic in Soviet Russia, Yang Rui said again, "There is no need to talk about war, there are too many things to say, and in the end it is populism." The Bolsheviks, the democratic freedoms of the United States, and the former Revival Party can basically be classified as populist parties, and they all represent the people and ask for the power of the government, and these are all within the scope of our suppression. ”

"Yes, but Europe has already been elected by universal suffrage, although all Asian countries are monarchies, or constitutional monarchies, but ...... in the end" Xie Jintai's vision is broadened after all, and he knows better that China is deeply influenced by Europe, and Europe has universal suffrage after the war, how long can Asia last?

"If we don't mention cultural barriers, even if China is a democracy now, it doesn't necessarily have to be universally suffrage." Yang Rui said. "As long as World War II did not happen and the United States did not rush to the fore from the Americas, everything could still be maintained."

"World War II?" Xie was taken aback by the word.

"The previous war in Europe was the first time, and if Germany provoked another war and Soviet Russia intervened, it would be the second time." Yang Rui said, "At this time, Britain will be completely weakened, and world hegemony will be completely transferred to the United States." As I said, although the United States does not have a state religion, it is essentially a Puritan republic, and liberal democracy exists not so much in the U.S. Constitution as in the doctrine of the Puritans. Unlike the British, who only want to make money, ideology is the first consideration in their foreign policymaking.

We, Korea, Japan, Miluo, Persia, Afghanistan, Khiva, Bukhara, ......, these are the existing independent states in Asia, all of which are monarchies or quasi-monarchies. Americans are not going to let these countries that go against his ideology exist for long. In the eyes of the Puritans, monarchy was sin, and so are we.

But after the failure of the United States to promote Wilsonianism at the Paris Peace Conference, she gradually became in. More precisely, there was a resurgence of isolationism at home – in the eyes of the Puritans in the United States. The European continent, including the Asian continent, is full of villains, all of the rotten and dirty historical accumulation. These people owe us tens of billions of dollars and don't want to pay them back, and they don't want to play with these scoundrels and liars again......"

"Haha......" Yang Rui said humorously, Xie Zhangtai couldn't help laughing. Although Yang Rui is not involved in specific foreign affairs, he uses civilization as a tool to describe the psychology behind the US diplomatic strategy very accurately.

"That's how the Americans are." Yang Rui has seen the United States, which will act as the world's policeman and run rampant and domineering in later generations, and combined with the fact that isolationism and Wilsonism are alternating for the first time in the United States, so he has a clearer understanding of the essence of American diplomacy. "They think they are God's chosen people, born with God's blessing, so they don't want to care about things outside the American continent. Because it would make the United States as dirty as the Old Continent.

However, the domestic industry was basically saturated, and the capitalists needed new markets and raw materials, so starting with Mahan, the Americans began to advocate sea power, hoping to open up the huge Asian market, especially the Chinese market. They occupied Hawaii, snatched the Philippines from Spain, helped us build the Antongme Railroad, implemented gold-dollar diplomacy, supported us in the war with Japan, and finally saved ancient Europe in the name of angels.

But the result? In their opinion. It was we who deceived them, and the alliance of China, Japan, and South Korea to confront him in the Pacific Ocean is the best evidence of deception; This is Asia, and so is Europe, which sent nearly two million troops to help the Allies win the war. But Britain and France did not buy his account at the peace conference, Wilson's League of Nations plan was almost a waste of paper, and the most important thing was that the money owed had not been repaid. I don't even want to pay it back.

If the Old World is full of bad people, why should God's chosen people be in the company of these filthy people? Let's live in peace behind closed doors. Up here. It can be said that the Wilsonianism that began with Mahan has completely returned, and if there is no longer anything to alarm her, there will no longer be any economic pressure to divert. She'll never come out again. ”

After Yang Rui's speech, Xie Zhangtai nodded frequently and then said, "It's done, is this possible?" I mean, the United States has been shrinking into North America, and it has been isolationist. ”

"It's hard." Yang Rui took a deep sip of wine, "But it's not impossible." The U.S. economy is now a soap bubble, and stock market speculation is so crazy that this soap bubble is about to burst in the last year or two, and by then the hard landing of the economy will be amazing. He has so much production capacity, but he does not consume enough at home; Europe, which relied on his loans to maintain prosperity, also did not consume enough, so the capitalists who really couldn't survive might instigate the government to go to war, and as soon as the war was fought, the demand would rise.

Then there is Europe, especially Germany, whose economy is completely dependent on American loans, and if the soap bubble bursts in the United States, then its economy will naturally collapse completely. A few years ago, the depreciation of the mark was a rehearsal of a riot, and it is even worse if there is an economic crisis......"

Yang Rui said here suddenly paused, his face began to turn a little pale, and the beads of sweat on his forehead couldn't help but flow down, Xie Zhangtai saw that he was still swaying freely in the previous sentence, but now he was sweating beads, and he was immediately startled, he grabbed Yang Rui's arm and said; "It's ......, what are you...... Not feeling well? ”

"Nope!" Yang Rui wiped his sweat, and he smiled bitterly: "I suddenly thought of a philosophy, that is, what will happen will usually be predicted once." The Bolshevik Revolution in Russia was the same - 1905 was the foreshadowing, 1917 was officially staged; The same is true of the situation after Germany, 1923 is a preview, and 1933 is likely to be officially staged; Further back, the same was true of the Great War in Europe, with the Bosnian crisis of 1909 being the foreshadowing and 1914 being the official ......"

Although what Yang Rui said was well-founded, Xie Jintai was still a little inexplicable, and he asked, "What do you want to say?" ”

"I don't want to say anything, I can't say anything for the time being." Yang Rui shook his head, he turned back to the previous topic, and said: "If you can blame Europe for the cause of the collapse of the American economy before or during the economic crisis in the United States, including the non-payment of money, including the expansion of factories for the war in Europe, and the inability to fire workers after the expansion, we have to encourage the society to submit consumption to ensure the continuous operation of the factory, so that workers can have wages to support their families, and then, overnight, the economy collapses, and the American people are in dire straits......

If Americans could be repeatedly indoctrinated in this kind of thinking during the economic crisis, it would certainly exacerbate their isolationist sentiments. ”

"What if Europe really fights? Do you want us to send troops? Xie Jintai had to agree with Yang Rui's idea, it is indeed good to surrender without a fight. Is it realistic?

"We don't have to send troops, we just need to help Britain and France be tough at key junctures. If Germany can't find an ally. Or the National Socialist Party risked defeat and was ousted by the Germans. That war may well be over. Yang Rui pondered, and at the same time he thought that if Europe did not go to war to divert the attention of the United States, then it was likely that he would be unlucky.

After World War II, the triumph between China, the United States, and the Soviet Union was a way to resist the United States, but it was even more important to keep the United States in isolationism and not to intervene in the affairs of the Eurasian continent. The former, a hundred years after the collapse of the Soviet Union, is still a confrontation between China and the United States; The latter will continue to maintain the current international situation, but exclude the risk of the United States starting a war against itself. How can he interfere in European affairs and appease Hitler?

-- Although Hitler died a long time ago, the backbone of the Nazi Party was there, and miraculously, even the Nazi flag and Nazi salute were unchanged from history.

Thinking that there was another 'better' solution besides the Dingli plan, the conversation with Xie Jintai was over. At this time, Yang Rui, who put down his chopsticks, walked into the study room that only he could enter, and then looked at the world map and countless post-it notes on the wall in a daze. He remembers very well the fact that everything that happened in the twentieth century was due to the weakening of the British Empire. And the reason why the British Empire will weaken. It lies in the emergence of internal combustion engines and electricity.

Technology has changed the economic landscape and the military balance of power, although Germany has seized the second industrial revolution, but even more so the United States on the other side of the ocean. And the geopolitical situation there is better, and the strategic materials are more abundant, so in the end it was the United States that succeeded Britain as the world hegemon instead of Germany.

The problem in China now is that the plot is roughly determined. The actors are already in place, and the director has shouted "Action". But in the director's setting, China that has just graduated is just a small role. No matter how hard he acted, he finally became popular with the red-necked protagonist.

According to this year's CIA data, China's GDP is 39 billion Chinese dollars [Note 130: Unless otherwise specified, the GDP figures in the book are calculated in 1911 US dollars. After World War I, the dollar continued to depreciate, with the largest depreciation in 1934, when the dollar depreciated by 40.94%. That is, 19.5 billion US dollars, and Japan's GDP is estimated at 9 billion US dollars, which adds up to 285 US dollars, which is less than 30 billion US dollars. This is more than the United Kingdom and Germany, but only one-third of the United States. Even if it surpasses Britain and Germany, China's GDP in the agricultural part is more than 50 percent, and more than half of the industry is infrastructure construction, if you really calculate the manufacturing GDP, the result will probably be similar to France, maybe higher, but not high, purely in terms of manufacturing GDP, China and Japan together are less than 20% of the United States.

In that case, why not sabotage the filming and let the American red neck continue to play the soap opera that housewives watch? In this way, he is also the world's top five, and East Asia and even half of Asia have the final say, so why sit back and watch history evolve to let the United States get rid of isolationism and eventually become the world's policeman......

Thinking of reversing history, Yang Rui felt that blood was surging a little on his head, and he had to calm down and not think about such complicated things. Carefully cut a cigar open, and it took him half an hour to regain his thoughts.

If you want to stop the war, the atomic bomb is the best, and once Germany goes to war, when the Nazi Party meets the convention, the nuclear level of Berlin will be basically solved. As for the future, under international pressure, it is natural to exchange nuclear bombs for rights and interests, and Nanyang will henceforth become a common colony of China, Japan, Britain, France, and the Netherlands -- why bother to liberate the Nanyang monkeys, it is better for India to continue to be colonized for 300 years......

But what if the atomic bomb technology is handed over and it is sold by Britain, France and the United States? Or because of this, the existence of 'Dr. Fu Manchu' was further verified, and the Yellow Peril theory was popularized, and the United States was hooked up as God's chosen people, and then it evolved into a Cold War of yellow and white racial antagonism, and a hundred years later, China collapsed like the Soviet Union.

The atomic bomb should be cautious, but without the atomic bomb, even if some historical nodes are seized, the disgruntled Germany and the appeased Britain and France will still rearm Germany in the hope that she will attack the Soviet Union, and the final result will be no different from World War II. If China is threatened by the United States, or if it is at war with the United States at this time, it will not be able to interfere with Europe in any way, and in the end the world will have to rely on God's chosen people, the United States, to save it.

The First World War laid the foundation for the world economic crisis, and the Treaty of Versailles, the devaluation of the mark, and the world economic crisis became the foreshadowing of the Nazis' rise to power, and the Nazis' position of 'no butter as long as the cannon is not butter' made war inevitable. History is like an iron chain, one link after another, and it is extremely difficult to break it. Taking China as an example, the war against Japan was a battle to break the ring, and the reason why it could be broken was the terrain of the Bohai Sea and the use of submarine torpedo bombers.

In the last days of the sixteenth year of Shenwu, Yang Rui was full of thoughts about the German side, and he hoped to find a way to prevent World War II without spending much money and taking too many risks. He thought so deeply that the final report on the work of the prime minister was written by Li Zilong.

On the 17th day of the lunar month, in the brightly lit and thunderous hall of the Inspector's Academy, in the attention of nearly 1,000 people and the flash of nearly 100 cameras, Yang Rui walked onto the podium, and under the command of the speaker, he led everyone to bow to the national flag, and only after the salute began to read out the premier's work report.

"Honorable representatives of the Inspectorate of Justice, representatives of the Court of Justice, and citizens of Greater China, it has been five years since the current government took office in April of the 12th year of Shenwu. On behalf of the Prime Minister's Office, I would like to report to the Fifth Session of the Third Congress of the Auditor's Yuan on the achievements and shortcomings of the current Cabinet term for your consideration.

First, a review of government affairs during the term of office.

Needless to say, the current term of prime minister has been the most turbulent since the founding of the country, and Yu still cannot believe that a humble gentleman can kill people and bled for the sake of some so-called salvation ideal. For this reason, the current Cabinet has once again amended the Constitution, reformed the political system, improved the law, and warned the people that the tragedy will not happen again. In the future, successive cabinets should also bear in mind the lesson of blood and not indulge in appeasement.

Apart from the rebellion, during the current cabinet term, due to the steady development of the world economy and the stability of the foreign and political situation, the results of national economic development have been very impressive.

The country's GDP is 39 billion yuan, which is the fourth in the world, second only to the United States, Britain and Germany; The national fiscal revenue is 1.135 billion yuan, and the tax rate is only 2.89 percent, which is the lowest among all countries in the world. The per capita net national product was 67.94 yuan, ranking 57th among all countries in the world, a huge increase from the previous term.

The country's grain output has increased for 15 consecutive years, with 1.7 billion mu of cultivated land, and this year's total grain output is 260 million tons, ranking first in the world. There is still a gap between this and the target of 240 kilograms per mu, but hybrid rice, which has been studied for many years, has finally begun to be bred and popularized this year, and the national grain yield of 240 kilograms per mu can reach and surpass in the next few years.

The country's cotton output has also increased for 15 consecutive years, and this year's total cotton output is 1.46 million tons, second only to the United States and the second in the world. Since the twelfth year of Shenwu, China has twisted the trend of cotton import and export, and began to export cotton, and affected by cotton production and cotton prices, the total number of spindles in yarn mills in the country is 7.34 million, and cotton cloth exports are in short supply;

The national transportation network continues to be under construction, and 21,500 kilometers of railways have been built since the founding of the People's Republic of China, and the four-vertical and three-horizontal railway network has begun to take shape, and the Wuchang Yangtze River Bridge, Nanjing Yangtze River Bridge, and Jiujiang Yangtze River Bridge have been completed and opened to traffic; More than 340,000 kilometers of highways have been built nationwide, including 36,400 kilometers of Chinese roads, more than 93,000 kilometers of provincial roads, and more than 240,000 kilometers of county roads. The construction of the national river transport network has been smooth, the Yangtze River water system, the Songhua River water system, the Pearl River water system, the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal and other rivers have been thoroughly dredged, the total navigable mileage of inland rivers is 140,000 kilometers, the sixth-class waterway that can pass 100 tons is more than 80,000 kilometers, a total of 1,230 inland river wharves have been built in five years, and the annual cargo transportation volume has exceeded 200 million tons;

Five-year education is basically universal throughout the country, of which nearly 30 million are in junior primary schools and 17 million in upper primary schools. 1.4 million secondary school and technical school graduates; There are more than 154,300 college graduates and college graduates. In the past five years, a total of 41,371 invention patents and 34,122 utility model patents have been applied for nationwide.

The country's industry has developed rapidly, with an annual coal mining capacity of 16.3 million tons, an installed power capacity of 1.94 million kilowatts, an oil production of 3.5 million tons, an oil refining capacity of 5.3 million tons, and a steel output of 9 million tons...... )
