Chapter 50 Money is Everything
What Yang Xiaolin said was the truth, but this reason was unacceptable to Songyuan.
Yang Dagui is a guy who has a bit of a family background in the past few years, and he can fight a few bullying battles. When he was in the Northeast before, when was he not fighting against opponents who were much stronger than him?
The current situation is that Japan itself is facing the danger of volcanic eruptions, and little Japan has analyzed the shape very clearly, and the best way to prevent this disaster is to use the power of the Asian alliance to get Britain to get out of the way. If the shape deteriorates, Japan will inevitably suffer a heavy blow.
The current Great Japanese Empire really could no longer withstand the wind and rain, and the successive heavy punches of the Chinese wiped out Japan's glory, and Indonesia, Korea, Taiwan and other overseas territories were lost. Just like an ordinary person who suddenly went bankrupt, sold his house and ran away with his wife, at this time the shape shì can really be recovered, on the condition that his body must not be sick again.
Naokami Matsubara took a deep breath: "Kobayashi-kun, you should know that if there is turmoil in Japan, it will not be good for us, those guys are shouting to fight to the death with China, as a friend, as a Japanese, I don't want to see the blood between China and Japan stain the Sea of Japan red." ”
"Matsubara-kun rest assured, even if the British side makes any moves, I guess it will be after the Hague Conference, and during this time, I don't think they will go too far. And I really don't care about Japan's affairs, the Japanese 6th Army is to maintain Japan's tranquility. I started with guns, so my concept is that as long as the gun is in our hands, we will never be afraid of others making trouble. ”
Yang Xiaolin said this very clearly, and Naokami Matsubara understood, this guy would not put pressure on the British through the means of guò politics, just like Japan found the British a few days ago and hoped that they would stop but were rejected by the British.
The Great Japanese Empire has really declined, and now it can only become a pawn on the chessboard of China and Britain, which they use to attack each other.
Matsubara-kun was a little angry, just a little. A smile appeared on his face: "Okay, then do it according to Kobayashi-kun's wishes, and we will put forward the plan for rebuilding the 6th Army immediately." ”
Naogami Matsubara now admires Yang Xiaolin very much, this bandit has never believed in the Russians and the Japanese since the beginning of the Lun Mountain, even when he faced a desperate situation, he also relied on his own strength to turn over, several times was killed by the Russians, but still refused the recruitment of the Japanese Empire, at that time Naogami Matsubara also said that he did not know the current affairs, but now Matsubara-kun knows. People have to rely on themselves.
Britain cannot be counted on, nor can China be counted on, there is only the first difficulty in front of us, there must be one difficulty after another waiting for them on the way to Japan's re-emergence, and the Japanese must stand up on their own strength. If that day came, he vowed to make the Chinese and British regret what they had done to Japan today.
Naogami Matsubara believed that Japan could, and he raised the bowl in front of him: "Kobayashi-kun, please." ”
The Hague Conference is about to take place. In the name of peace, the gentlemen will talk about the present chaos in the Balkans in Europe, and the turmoil in Russia. There is also the contradiction between France and Germany to reconcile. In addition, Britain said it would formulate a new set of rules to prevent the world from recurring conflicts in the process of competing for colonies, and to try to find a way to keep the world at peace.
Beautifully said. But everyone knew that this meeting would kick off a war.
Can the Balkans really reconcile? Can there be a consensus between France and Germany? Only one thing that is completely true in the whole statement is that the world needs a new set of rules.
Britain has a British idea. Germany has German ambitions, and even China, which has just risen, is not willing to be lonely, and the previous world order really does not apply. That order cannot solve the current chaos, and there is only one way for us to establish a new order, war.
Unlike in history, the Russians were no longer capable of threatening the rear of the Central Powers, and although they also sent representatives to The Hague, neither Kerensky nor Trotsky had any interest in attending this banquet, and the purpose of the Russians was to make their voices heard in The Hague so that the countries of the world would not treat Russia as a dish.
The pressure on France was very great, so at this stage the French military preparations were going on every day, and they were constantly instilling the spirit of patriotism in the country, while the 6th Army was desperately expanding, drawing troops from various colonies. Unlike the Germans, France was significantly stronger in terms of mobilization than the Germans.
At the same time, the French are also courting allies who may or may not be able to help at all.
As soon as he arrived in The Hague, he met with French Foreign Minister Millerand. The meeting was proposed by the French and was a secret one.
Millerand was not a proper diplomat, and many of his words in the diplomatic community were considered "inappropriate". Even he was very unpopular in the upper classes of Paris, because he was a socialist politician. The French Foreign Minister joined the organization even earlier than Comrade Trotsky.
However, neither his political concept nor his diplomatic skills could affect the respect of the French people for this old man, and since he entered the political arena he has been crying out for the rights of the working class, he has been concerned about France's investment in education, he has formulated France's first pension insurance policy, and he has worked hard to revive French nationalism.
When France was facing the impact of the red tide for some time, and the top leaders and capitalists were panicking, it was Millerand who stood up, and he demanded that the workers put the country first, and return to their posts when France was about to be attacked by Germany, and he demanded that every worker work overtime for the motherland.
It can be said that Millerand's ability to become foreign minister is more due to the political needs of the French high-level. Although he was not very good at diplomacy, the minister was respected in France.
"Mr. Yang, it's a pleasure to meet you, a friend from the East, and I hope my invitation to you won't make you feel presumptuous, because there are some very important issues, and I think it is necessary for us to communicate in advance."
On the ship from China to Europe, Yang Du studied all the participants' materials. Regarding Millerand, Yang Du's opinion is that the French also know the art of power schemes.
Someone like Millerand, if he were to be put in a different position. Maybe he'll be very good. Paris obviously didn't want to give much room to this old man with a different political concept than theirs, but they had to arrange for this man of great prestige, so they put the old man in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Don't be afraid that you will make mistakes, we can help you make up for your mistakes, as soon as a few mistakes come out, Millerand's image and status among the French people will be gone.
This kind of trick Yang Huizi is very familiar with, but the old man in front of him obviously didn't realize that his compatriots were playing him, and the solemn look on his face let Yang Du know that the other party wanted to negotiate with the Chinese side.
"Minister Millerand, I'm glad you were able to meet with me. Regarding what you said, we need to communicate with the Chinese side in advance on some issues. I think it's very necessary. ”
Millerand smiled: "First of all, I would like to make a statement on the tense situation between China in Indochina some time ago, our troop movement in Indochina does not mean that our friendly attitude towards China has changed, and I ask the Chinese side to believe that France has always been committed to making all our cooperation can be carried out satisfactorily." ”
Yang Du also smiled, this old man seems to be really bad at diplomacy, too frank, in fact, he doesn't need to explain this problem.
Millerand continued: "Minister Young, frankly, we don't have much confidence in rapprochement with Germany. Although we sat at the negotiating table, neither I nor the French government believed that the Germans would make concessions. ”
France is still trying to get the Germans to make concessions, which is simply impossible. Because Germany was also thinking about getting the French to make concessions.
Yang Du shook his head slightly: "Mr. Millerand, our Chinese side has a very clear attitude this time, we are here for peace, although I know that what you said is true. But I don't think any of us should give up as long as there is a silver lining. ”
Millerand nodded, "Yes, that's why we're still here." Not giving up any hope that a line might avoid war. ”
As he spoke, he opened the drawer and took out a copy of the document: "Minister Yang, this is the document on strengthening trade cooperation with China drawn up by the French government, please take a look at it." ”
Yang Du glanced at him, stretched out his hand to take the text and opened it, and only looked at the first few lines Yang Du's brows furrowed.
Trade cooperation between France and China has been carried out in various fields, and when Millerand said this, Yang Du was a little suspicious that it was not just economic cooperation, because the French could have telegraphed to Beijing.
Sure enough, trade is trade, but the French side proposed to buy Chinese anti-tank equipment directly. The number of items traded is staggering, and so is the number.
In fact, China has already transferred anti-tank technology to France, and the French have long begun to deploy it on the German-French border. France laid mines and Germany increased tanks, but in terms of industrial technology, Germany was obviously better than France, and they improved the tanks of the Chinese and created their own armored units suitable for the European theater.
France is also working on new tanks and new anti-tank weapons, but they are already one step slower than Germany, and their foundation is not as good as Germany's, so it seems that they are falling behind in this chase.
The French are not afraid, they have money, and the problems that can be solved with money in this world have never been a problem, and the Germans will buy them if they can't produce it. At present, the British Empire has the strongest military power in the world, but Britain cannot keep up with Germany in research and development.
Only China, Yang Dagui, that guy guards a large country with a population of nearly 500 million, but only maintains an army of less than 2 million people, and China's new equipment will never be equipped with all the troops at once, and 70% of his military spending is spent on research!
After the French themselves could not catch up with Germany, their first thought was to buy weapons from China to fight the Germans. (To be continued......)
