Afghanistan is a magical place, whenever an empire stands at the peak of Shijie, it will attack Afghanistan, and this often means that an empire will pave the way, such as the Soviet Union retreated, and the country collapsed.

If Afghanistan is attacked, it is also a headache for Zhang Tinglan, the heart of this Eurasian continent cannot but be in his hands, but how to control Afghanistan and avoid following the old path of other countries is a big trouble.

Just a few months earlier, Afghanistan had suffered a coup d'état and King Amanullah had been ousted from power. The king was not a simple figure, he ascended the throne in 1919, the same year the British launched the Third Anglo-Afghan War, a total of more than 30,000 British troops based in India, storming Afghanistan.

As a result, the well-armed British army turned out to be defeated at the hands of the Afghans, and Amanullah led Afghanistan to win an independent status, which was definitely not an easy task for a small country.

But it is really embarrassing that this hero on the battlefield was ousted by a coup d'état ten years later and went into exile in China.

At this time, Zhang Tinglan walked side by side with the king, Amanullah was not yet 40 years old, and he was quite young, but he suffered a coup d'état, and his expression was very lonely.

Zhang Tinglan said with a smile: "King Bixia, I have a presumptuous question, I don't know if I can ask?" ”

"Mr. President, some suggested that I go into exile in India, and some suggested that I go to the Soviet Union, but in the end I chose China, just to know what you think. As far as I know, 10 years ago, China and Afghanistan were in a similar situation, both under the control of foreign powers, but over the years China's reforms have been huge, while Afghanistan has been mired in the quagmire. ”

"King Bixia. I have heard that some of your reforms are modeled after Turkey, but they are also secularized, such as the enactment of a constitution, the replacement of religious laws, and even the encouragement of girls to go to school, which is not allowed in Muslimism. To be able to make this change shows that you sincerely want Afghanistan to become rich and strong, and I admire your courage. ”

Zhang Tinglan is not lying, if Afghanistan can follow the path of Amanullah. Perhaps the religious shili would have been dismantled long ago.

"King Bixia, with all due respect, these reforms of yours have not touched on the fundamental problem, they are just a drop in the bucket."

Amanullah looked puzzled. I couldn't help but ask, "Mr. President, I am already preparing to implement the electoral system." Elect an elected Congress. Isn't it enough to separate administration and church, make co-education, and promote secularized education? ”

"King Bixia, there was a poor family living opposite the landlord, and one day the poor man found the landlord wearing a mink coat. He was about to wear a mink coat, and when he heard that the landlord ate eight dishes at a meal, he would also eat eight dishes, and saw that the landlord had bought a new car. He also wants to buy a car, and he thinks that as long as the landlord does something, he will do it, and he will be able to live like the landlord, do you think this is okay? ”

"Of course not, he is poor, how can he compare with the landlord!" Amanullah was also a man who had been a king for ten years, and when he said this, he immediately couldn't talk anymore. What he did was clearly the poor man Zhang Tinglan said, who had no capital, but wanted to completely emulate the West, no wonder there would be problems!

"King Bixia, if a poor person wants to live the life of a rich man, the main thing is to earn money, which is the most superficial thing. The same is true in national politics, gradually making the country rich, gradually becoming stronger, and then running in small steps, constantly promoting various reforms, this is what should be done. But I couldn't see Mount Tai in a blind eye, and I was deceived by some appearances in the West, and I only saw a little fur, so I was in a hurry. There are also a large number of people in China who blindly advocate total westernization, and in my opinion, they are precisely letting a heavily armed person train according to the standards of competitive athletes, and the country will be tossed to death sooner or later! ”

There are not many countries that have copied the Western system, but most of the countries that copied after World War II have two situations, one is hope to disappointment, and the other is disappointment to despair. And what is even more paradoxical is that no country has completed industrialization under the condition of one person, one vote, which is a heavy slap in the face to those who boast about the West all day long.

In the final analysis, the reason is very simple: the economy determines politics, and if you have not completed industrialization and accumulated a large amount of social wealth, you should not want to play the extravagant trick of elections.

Hearing Zhang Tinglan's analysis, Amanullah's head was already sweating, thinking back to the past, how could he do anything wrong? This time he was kicked out of the country, largely because he asked the people of the whole country to change to suits and abandon their original clothes, so there was a problem.

"Thank you, Mr. President, for your advice, if I could have listened to your teachings earlier, I wouldn't be where I am today!"

Zhang Tinglan smiled secretly in her heart, if she didn't fall to the point where she is today, I'm afraid she wouldn't really listen to her words. Zhang Tinglan smiled slightly: "King Bixia, it's not too late to think clearly, you still have a chance to make a comeback." ”

Amanullah's body was suddenly shocked, and he asked hesitantly, "Mr. President, are you willing to support me?" ”

"Of course, you can, but I suggest that you first accumulate liliang on the border of Afghanistan, and then reorganize your statecraft, and if the time is right, you can counterattack Afghanistan."

The so-called political views, of course, were drafted with the help of the Chinese side, and this time they completely put aside the flashy things of total Westernization. There are two main contents, the first is rich countries, and the second is to eradicate hunger.

Rich countries are about taking full advantage of Afghanistan's favorable terrain to initiate trade. Especially after China and Iran reached an arms sales contract, the relationship between the two countries has become closer and closer, so Zhang Tinglan is ready to start from Xinjiang and build a railway to Iran through Afghanistan.

Turkey could then be brought in, so that Chinese goods could be sent overland all the way to Europe. It is a huge boost to the economy along the way, and it is also good news for China.

Once that happens, the businessmen of Afghanistan will be able to profit from it, and it is clear that these people will be pulled over.

As for the issue of hunger, Zhang Tinglan suggested that China and Arab countries cooperate and exchange minerals for food. Although China has a large population, it can still be self-sufficient, and Afghanistan has a small population, so it can be solved in the end.

However, Afghanistan's resources are quite staggering. With a large number of rare metal resources, such as chrome ore, which is an important raw material for the production of alloys, China's gap has always been very large. And there is also a super-large terrace copper mine, as long as it is mined, China's defense industry will not have to worry.

In addition, in the part of Central Asia, which was already under the control of China at this time, these areas have large reserves of natural gas and oil, and once developed, they are a big source of revenue.

It is not difficult for Afghanistan to get rich. In fact, just like a certain big country in later generations, if it is willing to spend one-tenth of the war funds to invest in Afghanistan, it will definitely not end up with chicken feathers.

This is also the difference between Western countries and Eastern shijie, Zhang Tinglan has good ambitions for Afghanistan. But he's not going to try to conquer Afghanistan, let's all sit together. Let's discuss how to make a fortune and become well-off!

Zhang Tinglan stayed in Dihua for half a month. He deployed the operation against Afghanistan in detail, and helped Amanullah rebuild the team and send it to the Sino-Afghan border for training, waiting for the right time.

The chess pieces fell, and Zhang Tinglan returned to the capital slowly, in fact, this kind of thing was originally not used by him. But in order to hide from the quiet. It's just a matter of running away.

In fact, during the time that Zhang Tinglan left, the capital was in chaos. Both the stock market and the company have touched the sore spot of some people, who are absolutely unwilling to change, but Zhang Tinglan has made up his mind. There's nothing they can do.

The first to carry out reform was the military, and the original military welfare company was completely dissolved, and the military only enjoyed the official treatment of the state, and everything else was eliminated. In addition, officers at all levels are not involved in any business operations, and soldiers have only one mission, that is, to be responsible for fighting wars.

The military is often the most difficult place to reform, but Zhang Tinglan has unparalleled prestige, and after orders are issued, they are quickly implemented. More than 100 officers suspected of violating laws and regulations and abusing power for personal gain have been thoroughly investigated, including 11 with the rank of general.

After the military dealt with it, the government also made detailed regulations and set up an independent National Capital Management Committee, which is headed by a deputy prime minister and is responsible to the president alone. His mission is to manage all state-owned assets and ensure the efficient operation of state-owned shares.

In addition to this, no one from the government can directly intervene in the operation of the business. Enterprises such as Anshan Iron and Steel Co., Ltd., Dalian Shipyard, Jiangnan Captain, Wuhan Aircraft Factory, and so on, all of which have a clear division of state-owned shares, should belong to the government, should not be bad at all, should not be the government, and should not be touched at all, and should be given full the right to operate independently.

The division of equity is clear, the responsibilities are clear, who should do what, who can manage what, there are detailed boundaries, no one should cross the line, so as to avoid corruption and power for personal gain to the greatest extent.

Zhang Tinglan also promulgated two decrees, all administrative officials, immediate family members and spouses are not allowed to set up companies alone, nor are they allowed to join shares and joint ventures with others. Anyone who violates the regulations will be punished, and even directly removed from official positions, and if there is a problem of abusing power for personal gain, it should be referred to the judicial organs for handling.

The second order is the asset disclosure system, which is also a very important anti-corruption measure. The so-called publicity of officials' assets does not mean that the assets of all civil servants must be publicized, and there is no such thing on shijie, which is people's personal hiding and is sacrosanct.

In the West, only those officials who are elected by direct vote have to be publicized, after all, if you want to elect, you have to be tested by the public.

The scope of the publicity system formulated by Zhang Tinglan includes the president, the prime minister, ministers and vice ministers, and only these people need to publicize their assets and accept supervision in real time. Zhang Tinglan made a special request that if anyone is found to have assets abroad, they will be severely punished.

If other officials find that they have overseas property, they will also be dealt with once it is verified. These two regulations are tantamount to putting a shackle on all officials.

The original intricate political and business relationship was dismantled all of a sudden, Zhang Tinglan's attitude is very clear, if you want to have power, don't want to be rich, you can only choose one of these two, if you want to occupy both, you must have selfishness and problems!

As the president, Zhang Tinglan is also the first to set an example, his assets are completely public, and the expenses of the president's official residence are also transparent. It's just that Zhang Tinglan and his family have a lot of property in their hands, and if all these things are announced, the amount will be too scary.

Therefore, Zhang Tinglan had already disposed of all the domestic property, and as for the foreign part, he was included in the account of the National Development Fund, and Zhang Tinglan became a complete poor person in name.

Of course, when it comes to his identity, money is just a symbol, whether there is it or not, it will not affect anything. But after all, in order to regulate officialdom and political and business circles, he must make a cut, and this attitude is very important, at least he must not leave a handle on political opponents.

There is no doubt that these measures have infringed on the interests of the bureaucracy, and political, business, military, and figures from all walks of life have rushed out to stop Zhang Tinglan's move, but no one can find Zhang Tinglan.

By the time he returned to Beijing, all the work had already been carried out, the media had already publicized it, and no one could object to the raw rice being cooked and cooked.

The reshuffle of domestic politics began, but Zhang Tinglan's attention was put abroad, and after 30 years, the economic crisis was getting deeper and deeper, and the economy showed no signs of recovery. Moreover, the Americans came up with a stupid decree, the Hawley-Smoot Tariff Act, which amended the import duty rate on 1,125 goods, of which 890 goods were increased and 50 goods were changed from duty-free to tax-levied.

Since then, Shijie countries have been caught in a tariff war, each country is desperately raising tariffs, creating barriers, and a trade war has begun again.

The consequences can be imagined, that is, the volume of international trade has been cut in half, and the United States, which took the lead in provoking the trade war, has lost more than half of its exports.

This bill makes it more difficult for countries to continue to sink in the midst of the economic crisis, and to recover. However, the more this is the case, the more opportunities there are for China, and after Zhang Tinglan returned to Beijing, he immediately arranged a bottom-buying operation.

The huge capital held by China has become the capital to loot the essence of the industrial revolution, and Zhang Tinglan immediately sent a government procurement delegation led by Gu Weijun and Tao Jiping to the United States.

At the same time, headhunters and purchasing managers in the name of private individuals are rapidly pouring into the United States like a swarm of bees. His goal is very clear, people, equipment, jishu, as long as they can be seen, all get back to China.

On the streets of major industrial cities in the United States, New York, Detroit, Chicago, Philadelphia and other areas, you can see the figure of Chinese leather bag companies.

In addition to them, Tang Shaoyi, Kwong Rongguang and others, who studied in the United States in the early years, really drew up a list of top scientific research talents that needed to be recruited, and a huge bottom-buying operation was launched. (To be continued......)
