On August 20, the Spanish government announced that due to the death of nearly 60,000 people in Spain caused by the Japanese super flu, Spain launched a campaign to exclude yellow people, and more than 1,000 Japanese Chinese and other yellow people, including Indians, Gypsies, and Indonesians, were slaughtered by the Spaniards and their bodies were burned. The Spaniards painted the image of the Chinese with braids in the newspapers, equated the image of the Chinese with the plague, and equated the portrait of the Japanese samurai with the Black Death, and the Spanish newspapers publicly declared that the Japanese yellow race was equivalent to the virus, and asked all Spaniards to stay away from the Japanese yellow race, and if there was an opportunity, the yellow race would be exterminated like flies.

In contrast to Spain's arrogance, other countries see a side that wants from China, and have completely different attitudes towards China and Japan.

In just two weeks from August 6 to 20 in France, the death toll of the Japanese virus flu was as high as 110,000, and the speed of infection and the high mortality rate made the French people think of the ravages of the Black Death.

On August 21, the sales of Banlangen powder produced by pharmaceutical factories around the world were compared with gold for a while, but the effect was half worse than that of Chinese traditional Chinese medicine products. Everyone blames it on the fact that pharmaceutical dealers from various countries deliberately dilute the effects of drugs in order to make more black money.

On August 22, more than 50,000 people in the world were affected by the Japanese virus, and 20,000 people died of influenza in Japan alone, while more than 1,000 people died in China at the same time. However, in the midst of the praise of traditional Chinese medicine, a Korean student in Japan named Park Face-tah claimed that traditional Chinese medicine originated from Korean medicine. According to the principle of naming the place of origin, the real name of the Chinese medicine that is now known all over the world should be Korean medicine, and he actively applied to the Japanese government to ban the wrong name of Chinese medicine. Of course. Although the Japanese do not like China, they look down on this Park even more, and Japan only looks down on China's modern history, but acknowledges Chinese history and culture, and naturally ignores Mr. Park's request. Thinking that it would not work in Japan, Park had to take a boat to the United States and register his name as a Korean doctor. It was only when I was on the ship that I was unfortunately infected with JVIS and arrived in Hawaii halfway. It hangs up...... However, Mr. Park's legacy was inherited by his fellow clansmen, and the spread of the origin of Chinese medicine and the theory of Korean medicine made overseas Chinese feel extremely disgusting.

It was at this time that Italy suddenly announced that it had reached an agreement with China. The Italian concession of Tianjin will be returned to the Chinese government on 1 September. The two sides signed an understanding and communication on the crimes committed by Italy in China during the Gengzi period, and hoped that the two countries would be friends forever. In order to thank the Italian Nazi government for its good deeds, the Chinese government entrusted Tang Zaifu, Chinese ambassador to Italy, to confer the Order of Peace on Mussolini, Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Italy, and to provide Italy with 20 tons of Banlangen powder and 20 tons of Dayuan drink, and purchased from the Italian government six Italian submarines at that time, namely two Spartan-class offshore defense submarines. Two Barilla-class ocean-going submarines, one F1-class conventional submarine. A Provana-class ocean-going submarine at the same time privately presented Mussolini with a political contribution of $200,000.

Among them, the Spartan-class submarine is the most advanced submarine in Italy today, but its displacement is only 260 tons on the surface / 389 tons underwater, the speed is 14.2 knots (kn) / 8.2 knots underwater, the endurance is 2200 km at full speed on the surface, the endurance can be up to 5600 km at 8.5 knots, and the endurance reaches 160 km when sailing at a speed of 4 knots underwater. However, due to its small tonnage and the fact that there are only two torpedo tubes, the ship can only hold a maximum of four torpedoes, and the submarine can only be used as an offshore defense submarine.

The Barilla-class ocean-going submarine is a behemoth, with a displacement of 1,450 tons on the surface / 1,904 tons underwater, driven by two 2,450 hp Fiat diesel engines on the surface, propelled by two 1,100 hp Savigliano propulsion motors when underwater, and reaching a speed of 16 knots on the surface and 7 knots underwater. The cruising capacity is 19,000 km at 7 knots on the surface and 180 km at 4 knots underwater. It has six torpedo tubes, can carry 12 torpedoes, one 120mm naval gun, one 13mm cannon, has a maximum diving depth of 90 meters, and carries 77 people. This is an Italian ocean-going submarine built to protect the colony and in reference to the German U117-class submarines. Because German submarines had succeeded in causing great trouble to the enemy during the European War, Italy had followed the example of the Germans in building these ocean-going submarines, with the aim of attacking enemy ships all over the world in future wars. It's a pity that no one in a country like Italy has ever wanted to fight him, and Italy can't afford to lose that person if he wins.

The F1-class submarines were the largest number of submarines produced by Italy and exported to Japan, which not only purchased four Italian F1 submarines, but also purchased construction licenses and Fiat engine technology, built F2-class submarines, and successively built mid-class 1, 2, and 3-class submarines. One of the purposes of Wang Maoru's authorization for the purchase of the Italian F1-class submarine, which is about to be dismantled, is to give the Chinese future navy a target ship to familiarize itself with Japanese naval submarines and understand how to deal with Japanese naval submarines.

The last Provana-class submarine is similar in many respects to Japan's largest number of Umi-3-class submarines, but the number of Umi-3-class submarines is strictly kept secret by the Japanese, and Japan has 10 Umi-3-class submarines as the main submarines of the Japanese Navy. The Provana-class submarine was also purchased as a preparation for familiarization with the Japanese submarines, which had a surface displacement of 762 tons/924 tons underwater, a surface speed of 16 knots and a speed of 9.6 knots, six torpedo tubes, two 76mm guns, and a standard crew of 40 people.

It can be said that if these six submarines could be delivered to the Chinese coast guard 15 years ago, then China's coast guard would immediately give Japan a headache. And Liu Guanxiong, the chief of the coast guard, couldn't close his teeth with a smile at this time, and followed Wang Maoru every day to ask when the six submarines would arrive, and Wang Maoru was tired of asking.

After the concession between China and Italy was reached, the Japanese Tianjin concession became the "lonely overseas" concession among the concessions of various countries in Tianjin, which made the Japanese consul in Tianjin angry enough to scold Italy for abandoning its comrades-in-arms.

At this time, Wang Maoru entrusted Zhang Kuian to propose a proposal to the Japanese ambassador to China, Yoshida Isaburo, that is, to redeem the Hankou Japanese concession in Wuhan, far inland Chinese mainland, with medicine and money. Yoshida Isaburo flatly refused, and Zhang Kuian sneered and said Don't be in a hurry to refuse, you can ask what the cabinet means. Subsequently, on behalf of the Chinese government, Zhang Kuian proposed to the French ambassador Fu Leyou and the British ambassador to China, Sir Maclay, that China hoped to redeem the Hankow concession with medicine and money.

The Hankou Concession is very interesting, originally the Japanese, German, French, Russian, and British concessions were established along the Yangtze River. In addition, there was originally a Belgian concession but was forcibly bought back by the Qing government at the end of the Qing Dynasty, because the Belgian businessmen forged the king's power of attorney and bribed officials to forcibly divide the land of Hankou in the lower reaches of the British concession, but the Qing government at that time was no longer a fool, and immediately ordered Zhang Zhidong, the governor of Huguang, to buy back and declared the Belgian concession illegal. Zhang Zhidong bought back the land from the Belgians for 810,000 taels. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, only the five major powers had concessions along the Hankou Concession, but during the European War and the Russian upheaval, Wang Maoru forcibly recovered all the German concessions (except Qingdao, when Qirui was in power) and the Russian concessions, so that the Hankou Concession was like a tofu block that had been divided, and the Japanese, French, and British concessions were far away and isolated on the north bank of the Yangtze River.

After the construction of the wall, the three concessions became even more depressed.

Zhang Kuian, director of the Department of Foreign Affairs, stressed to the ambassadors of the three countries: "The trade between China and other countries will not be harmed in any way because of the redemption of the concessions, on the contrary, because the concessions will be bought back in order, the Chinese people will be more welcoming to come to China to sell goods from other countries." The Chinese have money, silver dollars, and gold, but they lack a sense of security. Do you understand the sense of security? If your army is stationed in our country and you sell us goods, will the people believe you and buy your products? If you compare the trade between the United States and China, 80 percent of the trade between China and the United States takes place in the private sector, and the people's expectations for American goods are the highest, far exceeding those of Japan, France, and the United Kingdom. Have you ever wondered why? Because the Americans do not have concessions in China, the Chinese people do not think that the Americans have come to China to grab money, but you make our people feel that you not only want to sell us goods, but also rob us of our money, our land, and our women. ”

"What if you can guarantee that our business will not be harmed?" British Ambassador Maccre asked.

Zhang Kuian said with a smile: "The law, the law guarantees that your business will never be harmed in any way, please believe that a democratic country is the best law." Ladies and gentlemen, since China's formal reunification three years ago, haven't you noticed that China's laws are getting better and better? The original purpose of the concession was to establish because of the frequent civil wars in China, but as you can see, there will be no more civil wars in China, and China will have a hundred years of peace. For all countries, the concession will do more harm than good, and will only make the Chinese people hate the three countries even more, so as to deny the goods of the three countries to enter the Chinese market. Consider my words, and look at the Americans, who have taken most of the benefits and who are obsessively staring at the hate-filled ground beneath their feet. ”
