Chapter 73 Cooperation with the United States
John had just mentioned the many collaborations that the U.S. government was trying to reach, and Fan agreed very simply.
"Yes."
John had prepared a large number of response plans in his heart, and Fan Yize said as soon as his voice fell: "The United States is sincere...... Belch! Mr. Fan, what did you just say? ”
John, who thought it was Fan Yize's refusal, was stunned for a moment as soon as the words came out, and asked in disbelief.
"I said, we can cooperate." Fan Yize's tone raised slightly, as if he was worried that John would not be able to hear clearly.
"It's amazing." John did not shy away from his emotions at all, he had already thought about preparing for a long-distance training with Fan Yize, and always thought that Fan Yize would not simply agree to the request of the US government.
It was really unexpected to agree so simply.
Fan Yize still looks quiet and indifferent, and he has long expected what the Americans think.
The United States is a consumer economy country, with domestic consumption and commodity exports as the main country, which is basically the same as the main economic model of countries in the world today.
There are not many American colonies, and a large number of American products need overseas markets, and American colonies cannot meet the demand.
The colonies of other countries will not let the United States interfere, and there are almost no overseas markets that can be explored.
And the reason why the United States supports Japan in attacking Russia is only for the sake of the North Korean market.
Indonesia, which is already a large market with a large population, and now that a large number of Chinese are pouring in, the United States also sees strong purchasing power in the future.
After Fan Yize defeated the British, the United States naturally did not use a tougher attitude, after all, it was impossible for the United States to fight a war with Fan Yize without certainty.
The United States' strong industry has brought about a booming manufacturing industry, but domestic consumption is limited, and the US government wants to transform its strong industrial capacity into an economy, and the domestic market is saturated, so it can only open up overseas markets.
The international trade of this era was not the economic and trade model of later generations, and the so-called overseas trade, except for a few fair trades, was the dumping of domestic products in their respective colonies.
Britain was the best in the world, and the trade with the colonies back and forth, and the astonishing profits supported the British supremacy.
The Dutch were driven away, and the Americans got the news from the very beginning, after all, on the edge of the Philippines.
However, compared with the invincible British, the usual caution of the Americans has taught the United States to understand the situation clearly.
The British were defeated, and the impact of this news on the top of the US government was unprecedented.
In fact, from the very beginning, Americans were not optimistic about Fan Yize, although Fan Yize is very mysterious, covered with layers of veils, no one knows what is inside.
But Britain's position as the world's leader can not be shaken by one person.
As a result, the British were miserable, and the American top was also messy.
In particular, the report of Lukes, chief of staff of the US Navy in the Philippines, has frightened the US top brass.
Lukes, who had watched the battle from a distance, submitted a report to Washington as soon as the naval battle ended.
In the report, Lukes pointed out without reservation that the British Far East Fleet had suffered a terrible defeat.
The fleet under Fan Yize surpassed the British fleet in terms of firepower, protection, and speed, and was also very clever in the use of naval tactics.
The report also made it clear that if it were replaced by the most powerful naval fleet of the United States, the outcome would only be more tragic than that of the British fleet.
Finally, in the report, Lukes made it clear that Fan Yize's warships use a new power system, and it can be determined that its power source is not to burn coal, but to use more efficient energy, so it can have the high speed of the former So.
The content of this report is a precise analysis compiled by Lux after what he saw and heard, and there are also some appropriate analysis reports.
After this report was transmitted back to the United States by cable, it was immediately placed in front of Roosevelt Sr., combined with the previous investigation report on Fan Yize.
Roosevelt Sr. was very decisive and sent John to negotiate with Fan Yize.
Everything is based on strength, not on wishful thinking.
"The United States needs Indonesia as a market, and I am also optimistic about the future of the United States, whether it is political, economic and commercial cooperation, we can talk about it." Fan Yize replied to John clearly.
"Mr. Fan is really an extraordinary person, doing extraordinary things." John couldn't help but sigh.
John had never met such a straightforward person in his life, and he agreed to it as soon as he opened his mouth, without even asking about the specific content of the cooperation.
"I guess in the eyes of Envoy John, I'm a big idiot." The corners of Fan Yize's mouth curled up and said jokingly.
A hint of embarrassment flashed on John's face, and he said, "Mr. Fan said that he laughed, I don't dare to laugh at you, but I can't help but worry that Mr. Fan is so refreshing, is there any calculation." ”
John didn't tell a lie, and it couldn't be so simple for a man who could hide from the whole world.
No matter when, John didn't dare to underestimate Fan Yize's thoughts.
"Then let's talk about it." Fan Yize went straight to the point and said: "Without harming the security interests of the United States, the United States must fully support me, and this support includes economic, technological, and political support." I can guarantee that American goods will be able to circulate within Indonesia. Naturally, someone will discuss the specific terms with you in detail. ”
John has no opinion, judging from Fan Yize's meaning, it is completely the Americans who have taken advantage of it.
However, the specific conditions have not yet been implemented, and it is difficult for John to say who took advantage of it.
"Mr. Fan, what do you think about the cooperation in the military field?" John asked tentatively.
"Envoy John, you should be aware that the establishment of friendship takes a long process, and cooperation in the military field, I think it should be built after there is already a strong enough relationship of trust, yes or no?" Fan Yize asked rhetorically.
John is an understanding person, so he naturally knows what Fan Yize means.
Cooperation in the military field should first see what the results of other cooperation will be before making a decision.
John has no opinion on this, and the US government is not very eager to start military cooperation with Fan Yize, but the cooperation is one day earlier, and the sooner the day can learn more unknown things about Fan Yize.
The United States is also prepared for rejection.
"Military cooperation is handed over to the future, and if the previous cooperation can be reached, the US government is willing to give you a satisfactory explanation." John immediately got up to say goodbye, and just as John was about to walk out of the small courtyard, he paused and turned back to Fan Yize and said:
"Mr. Fan, Mr. Roosevelt, I have asked me to convey to you his apologies to the Chinese, and that the "Law on the Enforcement of the Provisions of the Chinese Treaty" will be repealed within six months."
