Wang Guorui grasped the death hole of the British, who currently need the Chinese market, and the Germans also need the Chinese market very much. However, the control of the Chinese market is firmly in the hands of China, and if the British dare to force China too much, then Wang Guorui can unilaterally open the market to Germany, so they will also die. The Germans currently lack the market and resources, and once Wang Guorui opens the market to the Germans, the Germans will have enough market and resources. According to the economic system of this era, it was actually colonialism. Colonialism is actually about taking a piece of territory, then plundering the resources here, and then transporting those resources back to the country, using their advanced technology, and then producing the products and sending them back to the colony for sale.

In this way, the natives of the colony will definitely get poorer and poorer, and in the end they will not only be exploited by foreigners at all levels. The colonizers controlled by force to prevent the political, economic and military development of those colonies, and every time there was a sign of development, they would suppress it. This is actually suppression through violent means, and this is the method of this era. The colony is the foundation of a country's development, not only a source of cheap resources, but also a huge market.

Isn't the reason why the British attach so much importance to India is because India has resources and a large population, and it is a huge market? The colony is also the market, but it is a market divided by a country by force, and the people of the colony cannot develop, and their judicial, political, economic, and military forces are controlled, and they cannot be effectively independent and self-reliant.

What the Germans lacked was a stable source of resources and a large market to digest their products. And China, the largest market, is firmly controlled by Wang Guorui. If Wang Guorui is willing to unilaterally open up to Germany in an all-round way, maybe Emperor Wilhelm II will be able to "call Wang Guorui Dad". This is not impossible, once China unilaterally opens up to Germany in an all-round way, then Germany's economy will take off in almost the next ten years, the people will not have to worry about unemployment, and even the taxes of all kinds of factory capitalists will increase by a geometric multiple, and it is possible to increase several times every year.

At that time, in a few years, the Germans will accumulate the capital to form a huge navy, and then go to fight for territory with the British.

"Minister Zhu Erdian, although we in China cannot threaten you too much, although we have not achieved enough, we have more than one defeat. So, we can all take care of you too. I tell you, although we do not have anything in our hands that can directly threaten you, but we can use it as a bargaining chip to give to your enemies. If you British Empire doesn't have a good relationship with us, then we can all help your opponents, the Germans, so see what you do. Wang Guorui said.

Zhu Erdian scolded in his heart: "******! ”

Zhu Erdian really didn't think that there was this kind of gameplay, Wang Guorui's gameplay is definitely a rogue gameplay. Wang Guorui's meaning is obvious, that is, if the British don't satisfy me, then I will also help the Germans. Although Wang Guorui does not have a very good way in terms of financial resources and technology, he can open the market to the Germans, which also creates a chance for the Germans to take off, and the British are really going to cry and faint in the toilet. In fact, this kind of play is not unusual, and there were people in various countries who joked about it back then?

Later generations of Americans said that they would fight whoever I wanted, the British would fight whoever the United States wanted, I would fight whoever the French wanted, and the Russians would scold me and I would beat whoever they wanted. Although Wang Guorui is now a big deal for the UK, he is the same as North Korea, not enough to succeed and more to lose. If the British do not meet his conditions, then Wang Guorui can also help his opponents, so the British have to pay attention. Anyway, now Wang Guorui has a card in his hand, and the biggest card is the Chinese market.

Whether China opens its market to the outside world, which countries it opens up, to what extent, or quotas are mostly in China's own hands. Therefore, if you get the Chinese market, and open up enough quotas, it is enough to make a country take off quickly in a short period of time. Especially in Germany, a country that has no production and technology, but does not have enough market to laugh at their products and cannot continue to make blood, they must be very much looking forward to the Chinese market.

Once China fully and unconditionally opened up to Germany, it would be a catastrophic consequence for the British. In the next ten years, the German national strength will increase dramatically, and perhaps it will directly and more terrifyingly threaten Britain. At that time, the French will definitely be pulled away by Germany, and the gap will be even greater. This is also the role of the market, if Wang Guorui really did this kind of thing of cutting meat and feeding eagles, it would definitely be a disaster for the British!

Zhu Erdian is also a veteran of diplomatic occasions, and he is still very open to analyzing this kind of international strategic matter. If we really face this situation, once China unconditionally and unilaterally opens its market to Germany, then Germany will take off in the next ten years, and once China's huge market is monopolized by the Germans, all walks of life in Germany will develop rapidly.

In the past Manchu era, the Manchu Qing Dynasty did not attach importance to this market, but adopted the strategy of closing the country to the outside world. Then, although foreigners continued to open the door to China, their power in the east was far inferior to that of the Manchus, so although they had no military strength, they could not force the Manchus to completely open the country. It was impossible for the European countries to force the Manchus to completely open their borders, and the resistance of the Manchus made it impossible for Europe to annex the huge market of the Manchus.

Even among European countries, a balance has been formed, and no one dares to monopolize China's interests. On the one hand, China is too big for anyone to swallow alone, and on the other hand, it is also a balance of all aspects, so that everyone can only nibble away. They are also afraid that once it is completely swallowed, it will make China completely wake up.

But now the situation is more complicated, Wang Guorui rules China, and he is so shrewd. By controlling China's huge market of 400 million people, it is used as a lever to control relations between countries. European countries want the Chinese market, so naturally they have to go through China. In the past, they used violent means that it didn't work, and Wang Guorui's military strength was not vegetarian. But if you talk peacefully, Wang Guorui will not mind opening up appropriately, but the opening of the market must be agreed by Wang Guorui.

However, one of the consequences of this is that Wang Guorui's conditions must be agreed, otherwise Wang Guorui will close or set up trade barriers. Anyway, Wang Guorui is in the hands of the state apparatus, and the nature of the country is that it can make rules, and foreigners who come to China will definitely receive China's influence and control, and it is impossible to do whatever they want.

Wang Guorui will collect tariffs if he wants to, and if he lowers the quota, he will lower the quota, and if he kicks you out, he will kick you out. It can even be refined to control a certain industry, not let a certain industry come in, protect the development of various local industries, and avoid facing excessive external impacts and making domestic industries unable to develop.

But once Wang Guorui really opens up to Germany completely and unconditionally, then the Germans will really have wings to take off. Wang Guorui was not a Manchu bureaucrat, he was well aware of the great importance of the Chinese market. Once the Chinese government really orders its officials to cooperate with Germany to open up the market, then the Germans will do business very smoothly and monopolize the market of China's 400 million people, and the Germans will rise even faster, perhaps more than a hundred years later.

"Your Majesty the Emperor, I don't think you're so stupid, are you? If this is the case, you mean that all walks of life in your country will also be exposed to the dumping of the Germans, and it is inevitable that you will go out of business at that time. So, I guess you're a wise person who wouldn't do such a stupid thing, right? So, I guess you wouldn't do that, would you? I don't think you would do this kind of thing of cutting meat to feed eagles. What's more, fattening the hungry wolf of Germany may not be beneficial to you and China. To put it mildly, to use a derogatory term for your China, we in the UK and Germany are all the same as you China. To put it mildly, if the Germans had developed, they would definitely not have treated China much better than our British Empire. Therefore, if you fatten the hungry wolf of the Germans, it will not only do you no good, but you are raising tigers for trouble! ”

"I don't think His Majesty the Emperor would do such a stupid thing. The best thing you can do is to open up the market to both the UK and Germany. Either we will open up together, or we will not be able to get it together, so this is the most in your interests in China. So, I don't think you, as a founding emperor who was able to start a dynasty, would be so stupid as to think that the Germans were much better than us? Therefore, I advise you, don't do this stupid thing of cutting meat and feeding it to eagles. We British are meat-eating eagles, while Germans are hungry wolves that eat people. So, if you help the Germans, it will definitely not do you any good. I don't think His Majesty the Emperor would do such a stupid thing! Zhu Erdian said affirmatively.

However, Wang Guorui smiled, obviously not taking Zhu Erdian's words seriously, but replied plainly: "You British Empire can try it and see if I will do it!" ”

"You-" Zhu Erdian was so angry that he almost vomited out a mouthful of old blood. (To be continued.) )
