Fengxian Jiangshan

Beginning in 1926, the first Asian-African-Latin Forum was held, and then it was held every two years, and it is now the third session.

This year's forum has attracted the attention of all parties. The unprecedented economic crisis, weak countries hope to find a way out, and those countries that are still colonized see the weakness of the West. They hope to rely on China's support to set off a national independence movement .

With various appeals, representatives of these countries gathered in Beijing, hoping to get the answers they wanted from Zhang Tinglan.

Among these representatives, Bachelet of Chile has attracted the most attention, because just a month ago, China and Chile signed a strategic partnership agreement, and at the same time reached an investment guarantee agreement between the two countries.

China invested 600 million in mines in Chile, and another 400 million was used to purchase Chilean agricultural and mining products. With this 1000 million investment, Chile's foreign trade was revived instantly, and the government's finances could also be maintained.

During the Great Depression, all countries in South America were severely impacted. There were strike waves in Brazil and Argentina, and there were constant demonstrations and conflicts in various places. Only Chile was able to temporarily stabilize, all of which came from the support of China.

As soon as Bachelet saw these representatives, he smiled and said: "We have just signed a currency swap agreement with China. From now on, trade between the two countries can be carried out directly without going through Western bank settlement. According to estimates, this year's trade Positive growth is expected to return, and we will be able to shake off the impact of the economic crisis in two years at the latest."

Chileans proudly swear, making other small countries very tasty.At the same time, they also saw that China was different. After all, it used to be a kingdom of heaven, and it didn't do things like the barbarians in the West. They pursued the maximization of interests everywhere, so all countries asked to sign similar agreements with China.

Zhang Tinglan is also very satisfied with these demands.This is exactly the effect he wants. If China wants to become a big country, it needs a few younger brothers to cheer for you, and it needs to win over a bunch of countries. Europe can't get involved, so it can only start with these peripheral countries.

Moreover, the current shrinking of international trade is just the time for China's industrial products to expand its territory, and it just takes the opportunity to seize the gaps in other countries, otherwise there will be no such opportunities.

At the opening ceremony of the forum, Zhang Tinglan delivered a speech: "Representatives and international friends, the whole world has fallen into a serious crisis. This crisis did not arise out of thin air, but the result of excessive speculation by some Western countries. After the crisis broke out, countries played a trade war very irresponsibly. Created tariff barriers and obstructed international trade. Tried to use the method of harming the interests of other countries to overcome the crisis. I want to say that this kind of harm is not beneficial to oneself This style of behavior will not solve the problem at all, and this irresponsible attitude will not become a respectable big country."

Zhang Tinglan's speech just touched everyone's heart and won warm applause from all parties.A few African representatives even danced and danced.They have long been dissatisfied with the West, and now Zhang Tinglan has said what they want to say but can't say, which is exactly what they want to say, and their favorability for China has increased a lot in an instant.

"If we want to solve the immediate crisis. We must first restore confidence, and we must get rid of the Western world's monopoly on international trade. Only by restarting trade can the economies of various countries start to operate again, with investment, jobs, and consumption. There is hope. We cannot wait for the West, nor can we rely on others. Only by relying on ourselves to establish a new economic order can we guarantee everyone’s interests.”

……

Zhang Tinglan eloquently talked a lot, but the core issue was one, suggesting to set up a joint bank for trade settlement!

Don't underestimate this proposal. Compared with real knives and real guns, this thing is more ruthless, because bank settlements require handling fees. This has caused the trade of various countries to revolve around Western currencies such as the British pound, and let them exploit them for nothing. getting fatter.

Of course, don’t be resentful. Who will allow their national power to extend to all parts of the world? The British fleet is the best bodyguard for the pound. Every major roadway is under their control. International trade is just a matter of their words. How dare you not use their currency!

It is precisely because of this transcendent status that Britain has achieved world hegemony.At a time like this, Zhang Tinglan wants to set up a settlement circle by himself and start a new one. He is digging up the ancestral graves of the British, which is the most hated thing.

Zhang Tinglan dared to do this because he had confidence, and the source of confidence was that the three aircraft carrier battle groups gradually formed an army. With the ability to intervene at sea, he was not afraid of the British doing bad things. When necessary, he would start a big war!

Among the small partners recruited by China, China itself is the largest and has the most developed economy. There is no doubt that Huayuan is the core.If there is no ocean-going intervention capability, the British can pick up trouble in a certain area at will, which will cause a crisis in Huayuan.After doing it a few times, Hua Yuan's credit completely collapsed.

With an aircraft carrier, it is completely different, so Zhang Tinglan threw out this proposal.Representatives from various countries also immediately joined the heated discussion. Zhang Tinglan has already promised that as long as she joins this circle, China will spend at least 1 million yuan for procurement every year.

1 million yuan may not have much effect on Europe and the United States, but for these small countries, it is a big cake, which has aroused strong repercussions from all parties.

Finance Minister Yan Zepu found Zhang Tinglan after the meeting, and he said with a smile: "The President, Iran, and Siam have expressed their willingness to join this alliance. In addition, Egypt has also agreed, and the representative of Turkey has also expressed their willingness to join the alliance." Consider. If these countries can be brought in, among other things, Iran alone can provide us with 100 million tons of oil every year, and the settlement circle is established, our foreign trade can increase by at least 1.8%, and tax revenue can increase by [-] million! "

Being able to go up against the trend in the midst of a major crisis is definitely a remarkable achievement. Yan Zepu really admires Zhang Tinglan's layout ability.

Who in this world can see that these insignificant small countries have such important value, which is the key to China's escape from the crisis.

"Minister Yan, strike while the iron is hot. It is best to set up the bank's framework before the British react. In addition, I will send the Fengtian aircraft carrier battle group to conduct a global visit, and let other countries see our maritime fists." .”

Of course Yan Zepu knew, what kind of global visit was this.It is clearly a demonstration, and it is warning countries that China wants to establish its own circle, and if you want to use black hands, you have to weigh the weight.This is similar to the Great White Fleet of the United States back then, it was endorsing Union Bank!

"Don't worry, the President, I will definitely handle things well."

What is a superpower is to print a piece of paper at will, and others will spend it as money. This is the style of a superpower.And this Union Bank.It is the first step to seize financial hegemony, and Zhang Tinglan is quite satisfied with this move.

After explaining that the diplomatic officials should properly arrange the representatives of various countries to make them feel at home, Zhang Tinglan returned to the presidential palace, and just after arriving home, another good news came.

Zhang Zuoxiang has arrived in Germany.The relationship between China and Germany has been very close in the past ten years, and Germany is in a difficult situation.For the arrival of Zhang Zuoxiang.Given an extraordinary reception, people from all walks of life, including military, government, and business, rushed to the port in person.

When Zhang Zuoxiang stood on the deck and saw the crowd welcoming the crowd, he felt that Bel had a face.

"Hanqing, I really didn't expect it. I'm afraid the old President Yuan is not as handsome as me if the old man can still be around until today!"

"Dare! Yuan Shikai was begging foreigners, but now foreigners are begging us, of course it's different!"

"It's not the same. It's really different!" Zhang Zuoxiang laughed loudly: "We men have to straighten our backs, we can't lose face."

Germany's Chief of General Staff Seckert was present in person, and President Hindenburg also sent the Secretary-General of the Presidential Palace. In addition, famous German companies such as Siemens, Rheinmetall, and Krupp all sent representatives.

Zhang Zuoxiang received unprecedented courtesy, and all walks of life in Germany regarded this old man as their savior.The Treaty of Versailles signed in World War I completely crushed the dignity of Germany, and a large amount of social wealth was lost.

After the war, Germany relied entirely on U.S. capital to sustain itself, but now the Americans are doomed, and the situation in Germany is even more dire. Six million people are unemployed, more than 600 businesses have closed down, unemployed troops are flooding the streets, foreign trade has stopped, and food cannot be brought in. More and more Germans were starving, and there was a sense of desperation throughout the country.

At this time, Zhang Zuoxiang brought a huge purchase sum of 10 billion US dollars, and the Germans who were in desperation saw a glimmer of light.Especially those big companies eagerly hoped that Zhang Zuoxiang would favor them, so at the welcome ceremony, these people were almost obsequious, praising China's development, talking about the friendship between the two countries, and desperately selling their products.

It’s just that Zhang Zuoxiang is more cautious. He knows very well that his son has worked hard to get this money. If a penny is wasted, he will be sorry for his son. Figure out the situation and find the best buys.

Zhang Xueliang was not polite either. He had studied in Germany for many years and had many friends from all walks of life. Therefore, he tried his best to mobilize all relationships to find the most valuable companies.

On the second night after they arrived in Berlin, Randall found them, and when they met Zhang Xueliang, the two hugged each other cordially.

"Old friend, I haven't seen you for a few years, and you have been promoted to major general. It's really amazing!" Zhang Xueliang said with a smile.

"According to your Chinese rules, shouldn't you give me a red envelope?" Randall stretched out his hand directly.

Zhang Xueliang smiled: "Before I came, I asked Zhuoyan for [-] internship places. German soldiers can board the Fengtian for internships. What do you think of this gift?"

Randall smiled and punched Zhang Xueliang's chest with his fist: "Enough friends! Sooner or later, the Germans will rearm, and I firmly believe that this day is not far away. The crisis makes everyone desperate, but it is also this despair, Only then did I see the hope of a new life!"

"Old friend, I don't want to listen to your tongue twisters anymore. Is there any suitable company to recommend to us?"

"I already knew that you were a vampire, and you just wanted to get German technology, but I really have a company to recommend to you."

"what company?"

"Bavarian Aircraft Factory." Randall said without hesitation.

For this company, Zhang Xueliang had a little impression that during World War I, it had built fighter planes for Germany, but after the end of World War I, Germany was deprived of the right to have an air force.Bavarian companies could only turn to the wood used to make airplanes and produce furniture and bicycles.

This is also the epitome of the horrors of the Germans after World War I. It is no wonder that Germany will be inspired to revenge. This situation cannot but make people angry.

Zhang Xueliang only knew these things, but he didn't know that the Bavarian Aircraft Factory had another name in later generations, Messerschmidt AG!

During World War II, Germany's most excellent fighter, the bf109, was produced by this company, with a total of more than 35000 produced. A single model of aircraft can produce so many, which also shows the success of this aircraft from the side.And it was the genius of aircraft design, the famous Messerschmidt, who created this miracle.

But now he is in trouble, Randall introduced to Zhang Xueliang: "Mr. Messerschmidt designed several prototypes, but the test flight did not go well, and it also caused a test flight named Hans The test pilot was a close friend of the Chief of the Air Force Milch, so Milch held a grudge, and next thing you know..."

Upon hearing Randall's introduction, Zhang Xueliang immediately frowned: "Old friend, according to what you said, this Messerschmidt is a broom star, not a treasure."

"No, I've seen his design. It's definitely the most advanced fighter. It just failed because it was too advanced. If it wasn't for the conflict between the German army and him, I wouldn't recommend it to you!" Lan Del argued loudly: "And you must promise me that when Germany is rearming its armaments, Mr. Messerschmidt can be released back home. I believe he can build the most powerful war eagle."

Seeing that Randall was so swearing, Zhang Xueliang had no choice but to seek Zhang Zuoxiang's opinion. Zhang Zuoxiang kept silent, and he was observing Randall.This young German general is not a liar, and since he is so confident, he should take a look.

"Hanqing, since this is the case, let's go to the aircraft factory to have a look."

Accompanied by Randall, Zhang Zuoxiang and Zhang Xueliang rushed to the Bavarian Aircraft Factory the next day. As soon as they arrived at the gate, they saw several workers locking the factory gate.

These people were all very lonely and dejected. Among them was a tall, middle-aged man with thin hair, large forehead, raised chin, and a big donkey face.His appearance is not good-looking, and there is still a cloud of sadness between his brows.

"Willie, I brought you two friends who want to see your aircraft." Randall said excitedly: "They are full of big money, as long as you can get his support, your aircraft factory There is hope!" (To be continued...)
