Chapter 254: A Double-Edged Sword

"After years of operation, Fang's has cultivated two major interest groups. One is the capital interest group with the Eurasia Group as the core, which was founded by Fang Jianxiong and involves a wide range of fields. The core national defense industrial system of the Republic of China, such as steel, military industry, machinery manufacturing, and shipyards, is dominated by the Eurasian group, and a larger group is attached to it. The group wiped out almost all the business elites along the Yangtze River and became the material basis for Fang Jianxiong's dictatorship. The other group, which is also Fang Jianxiong's civilian ** team, has proven itself on the battlefield in terms of combat effectiveness. The army in the name of the Wehrmacht is essentially the sharpest minions of the Fang clan to maintain the dictatorship. Excerpt from the Japanese newspaper Asahi Shimbun, on the essence of the Chinese government, the author is anonymous.

I can't help but say that this anonymous author basically reveals the essence of the way.

Taking advantage of the First World War, Britain and France had already provided loans, and Japan's economy also developed rapidly. By the end of 1916, Japan's steel output would reach 500,000 tons, a figure that looked beautiful, but in fact the resources that supported the rapid development of Japan's iron and steel enterprises were pinched in the hands of the Americans. Japan's Yawata Iron Co., Ltd. imports a large amount of scrap steel from the United States every year for use in new electric furnace steelmaking. In other words, once the United States cuts off the source of Japan's scrap steel, Japan's throat will be choked to death.

In the history of parallel time and space, Japan's steel raw materials mainly came from China, Daye Iron Ore (Hanyeping), Northeast Iron Ore, and Dangtu (now Ma'anshan, Zhang Weifan created Baoxing Iron and Steel in 1913, and most of the iron produced was sold to Japan. ）

Now that the source of these steel raw materials has been cut off, Sino-Japanese relations deteriorated after the Qingdao War. The government of the Republic of China strictly ordered that not a single iron nail should be sold to Japan. Violators are punished for treason.

Resource-poor Japan can only rely on raw materials imported from the United States to develop its steel industry, and even if the First World War is in full swing, the development of Japan's steel industry can only be described as difficult.

In contrast, the Republic of China has developed much faster than Japan, especially the steel industry, which has produced a million tons of steel at the end of 15 years under the premise of almost no one.

Steel is a benchmark to measure a country's military potential, and the rapid development of the steel industry in the Republic of China. This has caused deep unease in Japanese society. In particular, some Japanese politicians who are undead in their thieving intentions about the mainland policy have adopted more covert means in the hope of provoking civil strife in China when military means have failed to achieve their goals.

The most effective way to provoke civil strife in China. It is the dictatorship against Fang Jianxiong. However, this dictatorship is not dictatorial, and ordinary people in China really should not be the same thing. Those who take this as a topic are often political losers and careerists.

A newly published copy of the Minli Pao is on Fang Jianxiong's desk, and this is yesterday's Minli Pao, which reprints this article from the Asahi Shimbun. Then something unexpected happened, no, Yang Yongtai came to report this matter. It happened last night. In Shanghai, the office of the Minli Daily newspaper was smashed.

Fu Shuai, the students were very excited, chanting the slogan of the national thief, and rushed into the office of the Minli Daily. Seven or eight people were injured, and the editor-in-chief, Yu Youren, was pushed by angry students and rolled down the stairs. Broken leg. Yang Yongtai cautiously reported, this matter is related to the reputation of the handsome. It must be done with caution and caution.

Fang Jianxiong stood in front of the window, looking at the Yangtze River rolling eastward, and did not speak. Yang Yongtai couldn't see Fang Jianxiong's expression, and he was very uneasy. The idea of helping to say a few words can only be moved.

The longer he stays by Fang Jianxiong's side, the more Yang Yongtai can feel that Fang Jianxiong's attitude towards Japan is not just unfriendly, it can be said that Fang Jianxiong's attitude towards Japan is to knock over to the ground, step on 10,000 feet, and it is best not to turn over forever. At this stage of the Republic of China, it is very difficult to complete this task, and the Japanese navy is too strong for the navy of the Republic of China. Without a navy, no matter how much the Wehrmacht could fight, it would not be able to help Japan itself.

Fang Jianxiong stayed in Wuhan at the former Wuchang Governor's Office, which was vacated after the abolition of the autonomous regional committee. Wuhan Mayor Yan Xishan is not good at leading troops, and his level of official is very high. Yan Xishan set up the city government somewhere else, which was renovated and vacated and given the name of a sanatorium. In fact, it is treated as a palace.

Wuhan is developing rapidly, and Yan Xishan is thinking about working for a few years and going to Beijing to see the scenery. So this sycophant shot very energetically, and took the initiative to join the Republican Party. Since the Republican Party came to power, there has been a faint posture of cutting-edge forces.

"Changqing, let the Shanghai police write a detailed report on the progress of the matter. Once the facts are clarified, a press conference is held to explain the matter. Fang Jianxiong turned to speak, the gloom on his face was clear. Yang Yongtai's heart trembled slightly, according to his understanding, when Fang Jianxiong appeared with such an expression, his heart must be on the verge of anger.

"Okay, I'll do it." Yang Yongtai recorded very simply, and put away his thoughts about speaking for the people. Since Sun and Huang's split, members of the Indigenous People's Party who followed Huang Xing wanted to elect Huang Xing as the leader of the party and establish a party on their own. Huang Xing resolutely refused, citing the fact that soldiers were not allowed to interfere in politics. As a result, Huang Xing's followers either joined the Republican Party or returned to the Kuomintang. In recent years, the KMT has developed quite well, especially in the south and overseas, and has far-reaching influence, and has become the largest opposition party in China in a few years. The KMT still has Sun Wen, who is far away in Tokyo, as its leader, and is very critical of the ruling Republican Party.

This time, however, the KMT kicked the iron plate, and after the newspaper published an opinion piece reprinting the Asahi Shimbun, students at universities in Shanghai were outraged. Fang Jianxiong is a national idol today, especially the worship of young people is more fanatical. In the minds of the overwhelming majority of students, this chairman of the Military Commission, who holds high the banner of national rejuvenation, must be absolutely inviolable.

Thousands of students took the initiative to march on Xiafei Road in the French Concession, where Minli Bao is located, to protest against the slander of the national idols. The French Concession naturally turned a blind eye to this kind of procession, especially at the moment. The angry students quickly lost control, stormed the office of the newspaper, and smashed it to pieces. If it weren't for the high attention of the patrol room and the timely intervention to maintain order, those people in the Minli newspaper really don't know what the result would be.

The matter was not over yet, and after the students who marched stormed the Minli Bao, they surrounded the headquarters of the Shanghai Kuomintang and demanded an explanation. The angry students slammed stones and eggs at the closed gate, but due to the timely dispatch of the police, no one was injured this time, and the scene was maintained quite well.

The whole thing is hinting at a phenomenon that there is an undercurrent in the country, staring at Fang Jianxiong's essential dictatorship.

The current domestic political situation is very interesting, the Republican Party is the ruling party, but the cabinet is a variety of compositions. At the beginning, the interests of all parties were balanced, which is why there was such a cabinet. As far as the cabinet is concerned, the Kuomintang has little right to speak, and the former constitutionalists and Beiyang have a lot of say.

On the whole, the Republican Party occupies the mainstream, and after Yuan Shikai stepped down, the Progressive Party was divided into two, Liang Qichao and Zhang Jian continued to dominate the Progressive Party, and the old Beiyang forces established a Democratic Party headed by Xu Shichang. In the cabinet of the Kuomintang Party, there is only one moderate, Cai Yuanpei, and his voice can be said to be very weak.

The ambitious Kuomintang is headed by Secretary General Hu Hanmin in China, and a group of people such as Yu Youren, Wang Jingwei, and Liao Zhongkai are members of the Executive Standing Committee of the Central Committee of the Kuomintang. In the past few years, we have constantly adjusted our policies and recruited new members, and we must compete with the Republican Party for the world.

This time, the KMT took a stinky move that stinks and can't stink anymore.

As soon as Yang Yongtai went out, the door was pushed open, and it was Alice, the secretary on duty today, who came in. Well, now Fang Dashuai's team of secretaries is constantly growing, and he can only take turns on duty.

"Fang, Director Fang of the International Political Research Office asks to see you." Alice did not hide the admiration in her eyes at all, and when she reported, she pressed her hands on the desk, leaned forward slightly, and the dress with a low neckline was a popular style in the United States recently. The biggest advantage is that it can show the woman's groove from a perfect angle.

It was difficult for Fang Jianxiong not to see the two white hemispheres, judging from the appearance, it was not very large, and it was extremely straight. Compared to other women in the office, Alice has a clear advantage in this regard. Since by chance, after discovering that Fang Dashuai would take a second look here, Alice has embarked on the route of exposure out of control. The neckline is getting lower and lower, and the skirt is also past the knee, and it is developing to another height.

There is no doubt that for Fang Dashuai, who has a more modern aesthetic, Alice is on the right path. Alice, who is tall and tall, has advantages that are incomparable to Oriental women.

"Well, let him in." When Fang Jianxiong spoke, he really looked at it a few more times. Alice smiled with satisfaction, convinced that as long as she persevered, she would definitely be able to win this man. If you don't want to be a wife, you can be a lover.

How so? Alice's current actions have been supported by her family. As time passed, Fisher was slowly gathering a large force behind him. In other words, Fisher must have represented the interests of American capital in China. Recently, the United States has been infiltrating China's financial market through Fisher's efforts. As a spokesman for the interests of American banks in China, Fisher hopes to see his daughter have an unclear relationship with Fang Jianxiong.

Alice didn't immediately stand up straight and continued in this position. Fang Dashuai sighed slightly and withdrew his gaze. Alice smiled even more proudly, stood up straight, turned around, and naturally went out with her ass twisted.

Lighting a cigarette and staring fiercely at the back of this little goblin, Fang Jianxiong didn't know how long he could hold on. Fang Jianxiong knew very well in his heart that with the passage of time, the relationship with Fisher had undergone subtle changes. Objectively speaking, this change was deliberately promoted by Fang Jianxiong, and he is currently willing to see it. The increasing investment of American capital in China can be said to be a double-edged sword!
