Chapter 385: Spending Money to Eliminate Disasters (Part II)

PS: Thank you for the monthly ticket voted by the book friend "nqm", and ask for a recommendation vote ^_^ again

Therefore, after Zhongfu International put forward the request for payment, the bankers in the United States were all overjoyed, and even the core consortium in the New Deal Alliance did not refuse, after all, even if the government is willing to give compensation, it will definitely not be the full amount, it is better to take advantage of the opportunity to reduce the future losses a little

In addition, it must be noted that because these American consortiums were worried that "there will be no store in this village", they even gave kickbacks in the transaction, and as a result, the total amount of debt "replaced" by Zhongfu International for 1.5 billion US dollars reached as much as 2 billion US dollars, which is undoubtedly an additional gain. However, China's choice to pay Germany's debt on behalf of Germany rather than give Germany cash directly is not for these discounts. Hu Weidong knows very well about the mustache's personality, and he knows that if Germany directly obtains such a large sum of hard currency, it will definitely not think about repaying its debts in order to delay time, but will definitely use it to purchase and produce as many weapons and equipment as possible, and use the overwhelming advantage of military production capacity in a short period of time to launch a European war in advance, so that Germany will have a greater probability of winning the European war, but if this is the case, the Chinese Red Party will really become a big wrongdoer. In fact, it is precisely because of Hu Weidong's attitude of trying to think of the other party in the worst possible way that the all-round and in-depth cooperation between China and Germany, which lasted for more than a year, was able to start and end well

While Mao Zemin was greatly encouraged by the successful completion of Jihua's first step, he also noticed the great flaws of the capitalist system: "For the sake of profit, the capitalists can even sell the ropes that hang them." The situation may be better in wartime, but in peacetime it is fanciful to expect capitalists to give up large profits and even suffer losses for the sake of "patriotism". Inspired by this, Zhongfu International immediately began to sweep a large number of goods in the United States. As long as the capitalists in the United States can be bought, their government will be helpless, after all, China and the United States are not enemies or even competitors, at least for the time being. After all, economic interests still have to come first.

In fact, personally, Roosevelt still has a good impression of China, but he is the president of the United States. It is necessary to put the national interest first. The actions of Zhongfu International, or the Chinese Red Party, over the past year or so may have been unintentional, but objectively they have indeed caused certain damage to the national interests of the United States. Take the assembly line shipbuilding method, which appeared earlier than history, if it was during World War II. This method of dramatically increasing productivity would undoubtedly benefit the United States, but now that the government is still struggling with high unemployment, the decline in worker demand is compounded.

What made Roosevelt even more dissatisfied was that among the two potential enemies he was most wary of, the Soviet Union adopted a complete Jihua economic model, while Germany had a much larger share of the Jihua economy than the United States, so that both countries were now largely free of unemployment and could therefore fully enjoy the enormous benefits of improved production management methods. According to Roosevelt's think tank. When the Soviet Union fully popularized the set of production management methods invented by the Chinese (Hu Weidong), the total industrial output value will be at least double on the basis of 1936, and this has not yet taken into account the investment pull effect that has been the main driving force of the Soviet economic development, and it will only take 3-5 years for the Soviet Union to complete all this, and the quality of the products that the Soviet Union has always considered to be shoddy by Westerners will also be significantly improved because of the quality management methods of Red China. All this could be done by the end of 1940 at the latest; Compared with the Soviet Union, Germany is relatively small because of the foundation of Haode, the improvement is relatively small, it is estimated that it can have 30%-50%, and Germany's economic development is still limited by the lack of various mineral resources, but because of the better foundation, coupled with the Germans' consistent rigor and seriousness and almost the first quality of workers, they only need 1-2 years to popularize it, so the effect will be faster than the Soviet Union

In contrast, the United States not only failed to profit from it, but the economy was negatively affected, and the situation is similar to that of Britain and France, most of the Western European countries, which will inevitably change the balance of power of the great powers, and make Roosevelt's originally strategic plan for victory unpredictable.

Although the development of mineral resources such as the Minas oil field is of limited significance to the resource-rich United States, the invention of containers and the vigorous development of the petrochemical industry have indeed made the American economy gain a new growth point, although the employment thus stimulated is still not comparable to the reduction of the demand for workers due to the innovation of production management methods. But it is precisely because of the advantages and disadvantages that the Roosevelt administration could tolerate it at first, after all, the strength of the Chinese Red Party has grown day by day, and there is no need for the United States to make enemies needlessly.

Fortunately, although Roosevelt was a great man, he also had an obvious shortcoming, that is, he was a little less decisive, and he always had to be half a beat slower when making major decisions (historical facts), unless there was no other choice. Generally speaking, this defect does not have much impact on the powerful United States, but it is precisely this time that gives Mao Zemin room to deal with it properly, otherwise it will be too late just to have insider secret information

However, although Zhongfu International has resolved the crisis in a thrilling way, it has to issue orders in the United States, for the United States, the orders must be at least "100 million US dollars" as a unit to barely see, and in fact, Zhongfu International spent more than 2 billion US dollars, and all for domestic procurement, which also made the original net assets of more than 3 billion US dollars Zhongfu International suddenly insolvent, and the net debt is as high as hundreds of millions of dollars. On the one hand, it has greatly reduced the huge amount of cash in its hands, and on the other hand, it has also drawn a large number of American consortia and enterprises into the circle of interests, and the US government's greed has been immediately eliminated, and no one has been sent to find trouble since. Even later, after China's reunification and national strength was further enhanced, the U.S. government made some compensation, citing the gratitude of Zhongfu International for its outstanding contribution to the U.S. economic recovery (to be continued). )
