Chapter 830: Warship Diplomacy

In the midst of the economic crisis, money is not the most important thing, but the social economy has almost stopped, with hungry people on the one hand, and rotten food on the farm and milk poured into the rivers on the other.

China has taken great pains to recruit these workers, providing them with food, clothing, and even coffee and cigarettes.

Therefore, more and more American workers are crowded in front of China's recruitment office, they have the experience of copying Germany, these personnel are quite professional, they need real talents, old technicians who have worked on the factory floor for more than ten or twenty years, as for those who want to cheat and cheat, they will be kicked out at the first time.

Guo Zhen is a second-generation Chinese born in the United States, and from childhood to adulthood, he received an American-style education, and he has little understanding of that distant motherland. In recent years, he has often seen his parents and grandparents crying and laughing at an old newspaper, just like children.

He also gradually figured out that China was starting to stand up again, defeated many opponents, restored reunification, and was developing its economy at a rapid pace. But compared with the prosperous and developed United States, China's gap is still too far away, so far away that he doesn't want to think about it.

But the sudden Great Depression shattered his superstition about America, and that heavenly place began to shatter. At this time, the Chinese suddenly arrived in the United States, and they almost became saviors. Because he knew Chinese, Guo Zhen took the initiative to act as a translator, and countless Americans flocked to him every day.

These hungry and desperately depressed American workers all hoped to go to China to earn a living, and looking at the long queue, Guo Zhen had a yearning for China for the first time.

"I am a senior fitter, and this is my work ID and vocational skill certificate."

A white man in his forties trembled and sent the document to Guo Zhen, who took a look at it. Suddenly, my eyes lit up, this guy is a fitter of General Motors, with twenty years of work experience, and he is definitely a jishu backbone in the workshop.

"Sir, you have two options, one is a five-year work contract and the other is a ten-year work contract."

"What's the difference?"

"You can only get a settling-in fee for a five-year contract, and you are the only one who can go to China. If it's a ten-year contract, the Chinese side allows you to bring your family there. After 10 years of employment, you will be assigned a house and you will be given permanent residency. They also enjoy medical care, pension, and work-related injuries. Accident insurance, all of which are paid for by the Chinese side. Make sure you don't have any worries for the rest of your life. ”

China wants to recruit workers. It can't be just a year or two, so when the US economy improves, they will throw it away, and it will be too little help to China. Therefore, the minimum age is also five years, so that the Chinese can calmly learn their jishu.

And those who are willing to work for more than ten years are basically equivalent to Jishu immigrants. China attaches great importance to these talents, and the remuneration is quite generous.

The workers in line also started a commotion after they knew it. One by one, there was a lot of discussion.

"Sign a ten-year contract, the second half of your life is simply worry-free, I really didn't expect that China's treatment is better than that of the United States."

"With the whole family in a strange place, I can't believe that maybe in five years, the United States will be restored, and we can come back."

"Dream, I don't think the United States will be good for 10,000 years, I have completely despaired of the United States!"

……

In the end, the fitter chose a ten-year contract, he was no longer young, he just wanted to be with his family, live a stable life, no matter where he went.

At this time, the U.S. government was also plagued by a wave of unemployment, and it could only turn a blind eye to China's poaching, allowing thousands of workers to flow to China.

In New York and other places, there are special Chinese passenger liners, which are responsible for bringing these Jishu workers back to China. In addition, a large amount of equipment purchased has also been shipped quickly. With talents, with equipment, what is lacking is entrepreneurs, as long as these three are combined, China's new industrial zones will appear.

After Zhang Tinglan rectified the enterprise, he launched a special entrepreneurial support fund to encourage the development of emerging enterprises, and factories in economically active areas such as Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Guangzhou, such as mushrooms after a rain, appeared quickly. In the midst of Shijie's wailing, the East has entered a contrarian upward trajectory.

"Dad, are you okay with your bones during this old time?"

"Eat enough, sleep well, what's not haode!" Zhang Zuoxiang said with a smile: "It's you, your eyes are red all day long, and this national event is not something that can be done in a day or two, pay more attention to your body." ”

Zhang Tinglan also smiled bitterly: "This big crisis is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, how dare I slack off!" Dad, this is not only an economic crisis, but also a political crisis, if countries are in crisis, they will fall deeper and deeper, and they will not even be able to pull out their feet. It will inevitably embark on the road of military expansion, and if you don't seize the time to strengthen the industry, I'm afraid that in the next shijie war, you will have to suffer! ”

Zhang Zuoxiang was also taken aback: "Humble words, do you really think it will develop into the Shijie War?" ”

"Eighty-nine is not far from ten, and since the tariff war, the signs of this have become more and more intense, and Britain and France have established small markets each with large colonies. The whole shijie was divided into several parts, Germany, Italy, Japan, a country with a small market and not enough colonies, can it be willing, and Russian industrialization has also entered the fast lane. Coupled with the United States and China, can we tolerate the occupation of Shijie by Britain and France, an unprecedented war, which must not be avoided. ”

"Hey, I didn't expect it to be so serious, I'm also old and useless, I can't help you......"

"Dad, you're not old, and besides, there's really one thing you need help with?"

"Oh?" Zhang Zuoxiang suddenly became interested, and said with a smile: "What is it, as long as I can do it, it is incumbent on me." ”

"How about you take me on a tour of Europe?" Zhang Tinglan said with a smile; "Dad, now that large-scale construction is going on in China, I really can't get out of it, but the situation in Europe is too important. Come to think of it, you're the only veteran. ”

Zhang Zuoxiang hahadaxiao: "No problem, I agreed, but I have a dark eye for the West, I don't understand anything, don't make people laugh." ”

"Don't be afraid, no one will laugh at anyone these days, and I won't dare to laugh at the God of Wealth, I will prepare a billion dollars of procurement costs for you, just throw money around, and ensure that all countries regard you as the God of Wealth."

Zhang Zuoxiang frowned: "One billion dollars is not a small number, you can rest assured that the steel will be used on the blade, and it will definitely not be wasted." But if you just spend money, you won't be able to find me, tell me, is there any secret thing? ”

Zhang Tinglan smiled slightly: "You are really discerning, I can't hide anything from you, I want you to go to Germany to meet with Hitler, the leader of the Nazi Party, to express our willingness to support his cause, and provide them with another 10 million funds." ”

Ten million! This is not a small amount, Zhang Zuoxiang's face suddenly became solemn: "Humble words, you have invested so much, is it this Hitler's ability to seize power in Germany again?" ”

"That's right, I'm very optimistic about his party, give support at this time, and when they take power, they will be rewarded a thousand times!"

Zhang Zuoxiang has also been thinking quietly for many years, he immediately prepared to leave for Europe, and Zhang Xueliang, who was familiar with the situation in Europe, also acted with him, and they took the cruiser Yantai, crossed the ocean and went to Europe.

Just as Zhang Zuoxiang was leaving, another group of people came to China in a hurry, and it was the Chilean Navy Minister Victor and Bachelet.

Chile and China have just completed a contract for warships, and their relationship is still quite close, and the commander of the Navy, Shen Honglie, personally received them.

"General Victor, do you have anything to do with your visit to China? Is it a battleship problem? ”

"That's right, I first want to verify one thing, can China help Chile build warships as scheduled?"

"Of course, there is no problem, at the Jiangnan Shipyard, we have laid the keel, the project is progressing as expected, if you are interested, you can go and see the progress of the project now."

"Thank goodness." Victor let out a sigh of relief.

Shen Honglie glanced at these two people and asked a little unpleasantly, "Have you heard any unpleasant rumors?" Is there news that China will default? ”

Bachelet on the side looked embarrassed, glanced at Victor, and then said in a slur manner: "It's the Americans who have defaulted!" ”

It turned out that Chile in order to equip the battleship with auxiliary ships, just like the United States ordered a heavy cruiser, and the Americans agreed, but as soon as the construction started, it encountered an economic crisis, and the shipyard asked Chile to invest more. But as soon as the Chileans had sent in the funds, the shipyard went out of business, and all the Chileans' advances were lost.

They could only protest to the US government, but the explanation given by the Americans made Chile vomit blood, and according to the Washington Treaty, the signatories were not allowed to sell battleships, even large-caliber naval guns.

As a matter of common sense, Chile's naval bid simply won't work. But during this period, one of the biggest variables has emerged, and that is China!

Since China is not a signatory to the treaty, but the navy is advancing by leaps and bounds, so the countries are discussing the need to re-conclude the treaty, or bring China in, or completely abolish the restrictions.

Fortunately, Chile gave the contract to China, otherwise they would probably not have been able to get warships, and the US Congress could have vetoed it completely.

Heavy cruisers were also in the midst of limitations, and it was almost unthinkable for the Chileans to win the case. After the United States hit the nail, Victor was worried that the same problem would occur in China, so he hurried to China.

After understanding the inside story, Shen Honglie swore and said: "You don't have to worry, the Chinese pay attention to promises, and there will be absolutely no mistakes in selling your warships." ”

"That's great, Mr. Commander, Chile's financial situation is also a bit difficult, I wonder if the construction funds can be delayed a little?" (To be continued......)
