Chapter 100: Urgent America
E: Do you still have a monthly pass?
1/2/196.
Today, a shocking news came out in the world political circles: The US Government announced the establishment of the post of "Minister to the Southwest China Autonomous Government" and the establishment of the US Legation to Southwest China in Neijiang City, Sichuan Province, and the dispatch of Jia Leheng as the minister.
In addition, the United States also announced that the "Great White Fleet," which has just concluded its visit to Wèn in Yokohama, Japan, will change its itinerary to Guangzhou for an official goodwill visit to the southwest government. In the original time and space, the "Great White Fleet" only sent a detachment to Xiamen. And this time it is fully staffed, and the meaning of this action could not be more obvious, the United States is treating the southwest government as the legitimate representative of China.
As soon as this news came out, the countries were in an uproar, and the Qing Dynasty and the major powers were solidified.
The great powers are not stupid, and they are very clear about the purpose of the United States' approach, but if they do the work so openly and crudely, there are only tyrants like the Yankees.
The diplomats of the veteran powers said one after another: Lie in a groove, Yankees, do you still want to be embarrassed? The Southwest Autonomous Government of the Socialist Party says that it is a local government at best, and that it is a separatist force at worst. Such a force can actually send a minister and establish formal diplomatic relations, although I only have half a breath left, but I am not dead, right?
Niu Niu's foreign secretary ridiculed and said: Such a rough, untechnical, and shameless thing can only be done by a group of vulgar cowboys in the countryside of Xinda 6 (Eagle Sauce: You are embarrassed to say such a thing as a thousand-year-old shit-stirring stick? Lao Tzu is not as shameless as you)
The diplomat of the rooster also spit out and said: Poor Yankees, they have reached the point of hunger in order to find an ally, and they don't even let go of a ** army. (Eagle sauce: Your sister, have you ever seen such a tyrant and a cool ** armament?)
I don't dare to vomit like this in the Qing Dynasty, the Yankees are still great powers no matter what they say, and the Qing Dynasty can't afford to provoke them, and they weakly protested to the United States.
But for the thick-skinned Eagle Sauce, whether it was protest or ridicule, they shouldn't have heard it. They used just one sentence to pull the murmur back. "The laws of the United States do not limit the dispatch of only one minister in a country, and the number of ministers to be sent depends on the need, which is our internal affair and will not be subject to the ...... of other countries."
To tell the truth, the diplomatic methods and political strategies of the United States during this period were indeed very immature, and often gave people the feeling of being very stupid, naïve, very yellow and violent, in other words, "middle two". Whether it is diplomatic means or political strategy, it is the wisdom that needs history to precipitate, and what the United States lacks most is history, how much precipitation can a country with a history of less than 2oo years have?
Therefore, they often do some very good things, a hammer in the east and a stick in the west, often think of what to do, and do not consider the consequences, and their thinking is extremely out-of-the-box. For example, the "Chinese Exclusion Act" is a typical example, if you want to talk about discrimination against China, there is no exception among the powers in these years, but if you want to say that the country that discriminates against China the most, the United States will definitely not rank first. Compared with Germany, which organized the eight-nation alliance and ordered the army to "leave not a single Chinese prisoner", Russia and Japan, which slaughtered Chinese as cattle, and Britain, which desperately sold drugs to China, what the United States did was really nothing.
No matter how much these powers discriminate against China, they will not come up with such a thing as the "Chinese Exclusion Act". Because they all know that there are things that can be done but cannot be said, and even if they are said, they should not be made into legal form. I'd rather do things than say never, this is the wisdom of politics, and the dog that can bite people doesn't bark. Only the United States, a second-class country, will shout loudly before it happens. To be honest, things like the "Chinese Exclusion Act" do not do much substantive harm to China, but more of a face-to-face injury, but for China, this kind of slap in the face is even more unacceptable.
Then the Chinese began to boycott American goods, and the United States was dumbfounded, and a large number of lost markets made them regret it, so they had to engage in a Geng money study abroad program to save their reputation, and quickly adjusted the object of the bill. If the United States were to be replaced in 10 years, it would never have made such a low-level mistake.
Being cheeky is a glorious tradition of the United States, not to mention that it is still in its second phase of secondary school, so "sending two ministers to one country at the same time" is a matter that obviously violates diplomatic conventions.
They are also really anxious, the current Eagle Sauce is far from the awesome Eagle Sauce 1oo years later, and the Eagle Sauce at this time is actually very isolated. The old powers all look down on this tyrant, and the most important thing is that it doesn't deal with the "leading big brother" Niu Niu on the earth now, how can it give Niu Niu Boss a little face, naturally it is not good to have too much contact with Eagle Sauce, those powers are not as middle as it, and they don't think about the consequences.
In this era, there are few independent countries on the earth, and the great powers are grouped separately, and the countries that are not the great powers have their own bosses, let alone colonies. As for the United States? Who is that? It's just a mob, what kind of bull?
The current United States is so embarrassed, the circle of the great powers rejects it and does not play with it, and other non-foreign powers do not bird him if they have a boss.
And, most importantly, Niu Niu is now very hostile to it, and the Anglo-Japanese alliance is not only used against woolly bears, but also against it. Now that the woolly bear has been in a pit with Niu Niu, the pressure of this alliance has gone to its side. The east side is Niu Niu, the west side is the foot basin chicken, and the eagle sauce that makes sandwich cakes really feels a lot of pressure, and it needs a little partner too much.
But looking around the world, there is not even a helper, let alone allies, and even a little brother can't be received. Yingjiang has a lot of money in his hand, but he can't even find a place to spend money, what is this Nima, you say the Philippines? That can only be regarded as a ring, it would be good if it didn't add to the chaos. Do you want to rely on the Philippines to help?
By the end of the years, the situation had become even more severe, and the world powers had clearly divided into two camps, from which the United States was excluded. This feeling of being isolated from the world is really uncomfortable, so in the original time and space, the United States had been trying to win over China before World War I, such as building a new diplomatic envoy to the ambassador of both sides, canceling all Gengzi indemnities, and even forming a joint fleet. But because I can't support the wall in the mud, these plans are yellow, and the United States wants to find an ally who can share the pressure on him, not to find a drag oil bottle that adds to the chaos.
Now, however, things have finally taken a turn for the better, and the political power of the Socialist Party has emerged, and this force is different from any previous force in China, they are quite modern, and they have strong economic, technical, and organizational capabilities, and the army is very strong in combat and quite capable of fighting. The most rare thing is that most of the main leaders of this force are "American-born" and "educated in the United States", and are naturally pro-American.
Such a friend is so rare, if you miss it, I'm afraid you won't be able to find it again. So in order to envelop this little friend, Eagle Sauce was directly shameless, and acted in a hurry. Of course, it is also important to note that Mr. Moon's close cooperation with the American predators began several years ago, and these predators can influence American policy.
Three days later, on January 2, the Autonomous Government of Southwest China and the United States jointly announced to the outside world that the two sides had signed the "Treaty of Commerce, Friendship and Mutual Assistance between China and the United States."
It is a fairly equal treaty, the main content of which is that the two sides will give each other the most favored nation treatment, treat each other's enterprises in the same country as those of their own, facilitate each other's business activities, and treat each other's nationals no less favourably than any third country...... Wait a minute.
These treaties are relatively normal, with the focus on the additional clauses that follow, and the United States has publicly announced that the unequal treaties originally signed with the Qing court will automatically expire within the jurisdiction of the autonomous government in southwest China. Abandon the one qiē extraterritoriality, concession and sphere of influence within the jurisdiction of the Southwest Autonomous Government of China, renounce the Gengzi indemnity that should have been apportioned within the jurisdiction of the Southwest Autonomous Government, and support the government of Southwest China in recovering tariffs and amending treaties with other countries. In addition, they have provided $100 million in interest-free loans in the nature of aid and $100 million in low-interest loans (annual interest, to be repaid in two years) to the government of the Southwest.
In addition, the United States also adjusted the original "Chinese Exclusion Act", although the bill is not easy to abolish for a while, but it is also stated in the treaty that this bill does not apply to Chinese who hold passports of the Southwest Autonomous Government of China.
In fact, Wen Deji did not have much reaction to this "Chinese Exclusion Act", because the "Chinese Exclusion Act" is aimed at immigrants to the United States, and Wen Desi does not advocate Chinese immigration to the United States. He also wished that the United States would be stricter in its approach to immigration, and if it weren't for the fact that the "Chinese Exclusion Act" was only aimed at prohibiting Chinese immigration, it would have been too much of a slap in the face, and he would have even vigorously supported it.
However, the Yankees did not know what Mr. Wen was thinking, they were frightened by the strong reaction from the Chinese some time ago, and they were worried that this bill would cause dissatisfaction with the southwest government, so they took the initiative to propose that the bill did not apply to the Chinese people in the southwest government, and promised to repeal this bill as much as possible.
Well, to put it simply, it is to look at the CSD district separately from the rest of the forces.
Of course, this treaty seems to be taken advantage of by the United States, because their industry is more advanced, but they don't know that President Wen and the Socialist Party are open, and this little bit of cheapness will not be taken for a long time, and they will regret it in a few years.
However, the most interesting part of the treaty was the undisclosed part: the two sides agreed to establish an offensive and defensive alliance in international activities against Britain and Japan, and to maintain a consistent attitude that if one side was attacked by Britain and Japan, the other side should provide assistance to the best of its ability. It was also agreed that in the future, after the CSD government took power in the whole country, the United States would recognize it as soon as possible and raise the level of envoy to the level of ambassador.
To this end, the United States will manufacture all kinds of weapons and equipment for China at low prices, and guarantee that the prices will not be higher than the prices of similar weapons sold to any third country. In addition, the United States will also retire the Navy's four old battleships BB1e and twelve Bainbridge-class destroyers (B1dd2) and "sell" them to the Southwest government at a symbolic price of $6 ($1 each) in the name of scrapping and dismantling, so as to strengthen the Southwest government's naval strength and assist the Southwest government in training its navy.
The duty of the government in the southwest was to contain Japan's military power and to contain the British colonies in South and Southeast Asia, and to threaten them when appropriate (the United States was confident in the strength of the CSOC's Sixth Army). In addition, it is to provide the drawings and manufacturing technology of the armed airship that the United States is interested in, for which the United States pays a technology transfer fee of 60,000 US dollars, which is not paid, and is used to offset the construction cost of the six large warships recently ordered by the southwest government.
