Years of the Republic of China 1913

During the Sino-Soviet War, the Chinese government spent nearly tens of billions in military expenditures. If this huge sum was placed in the early days of the Republic of China, it would definitely bankrupt the government for ten times.But this time is different. After several years of preparation by Fang Zida, the national treasury has fully withstood the huge expenditure. In fact, the final treasury expenditure is only a few hundred million, which means that the Chinese government won the battle with hundreds of millions of funds. this war.

It is not surprising to say that Fang Zida holds a huge amount of gold reserves of the Russian Empire. Part of this batch of gold is used to issue the currency of the Central Bank of the Russian Empire, and the remaining part is gradually transferred from China to the treasury as the war progresses. own reserves.

Fang Zida, who was born as a businessman, has never been in a loss-making business. He aimed at this gold as early as a few years ago.Since this battle is nominally fought for the Russian imperial government, there is no doubt that the military expenditures must be borne by the Russian side.Of course, the huge military expenditure is still far from enough for this gold. Fang Zida instructed the Central Bank to issue a loan to the Russian Empire, and the military expenditure was gradually deducted from the loan.

Having obtained ownership of this gold, the central bank used it as a reserve to issue war bonds internationally.Jiang Zhiqing is now a financial veteran, taking advantage of this opportunity to turn the tide in the international financial market and earn a lot of money.Calculated with a [-]% discount, the real military expenditure in the treasury is not very high. This is Fang Zida's business experience.

Of course, the premise is that the war cannot last too long.As a newly emerging country, after all, the foundation is weak, and Fang Zida will not be able to bear it once the war lasts too long.Fortunately, everything was as he expected. The Sino-Soviet war did not last too long. The Chinese National Defense Force won the war with new tactics and equipment and won the final victory.

The next reconstruction of Russia.Fang Zida has already reached an agreement with the Russian Empire. The Chinese government will prepare to provide a huge aid of 300 billion silver dollars to the Russian Empire in batches in the next ten years. The Chinese government can also take this opportunity to obtain huge benefits and use it to gradually control the economic development of the Russian Empire.

Fang Zida still learned this trick from the United States.After World War II, the United States carried out the Marshall Plan to revive Europe. It was the implementation of this plan that made the United States become the world's largest power and indirectly controlled the European economy and politics for decades.Fang Zida followed the gourd painting method, and he did the same thing.In addition to winning China's international praise, its benefits can also be imagined.

The aid plan had just taken shape, and a few days before it was formally signed, Fang Zida suddenly welcomed his old friend Marcos.

"Fang! My old friend, congratulations on leading the people of a free country to defeat the evil Soviet regime." A meeting.Marcos hugged and congratulated Fang Zida with a smile on his face. Over the years.Marcos, who has immigrated to the United States, has not changed much.Everything is the same as before, except that the hair has become slightly gray.

"Thank you, my friend." Fang Zida patted Marcos on the shoulder and joked with a smile, "It's fine if someone else congratulates me, but it's a bit strange for you to say this."

"Why?" Max asked puzzled.

"Have you forgotten? Soviet is a believer in Marxism. You must know that this Mr. Karl and you are not only Jewish, but also fellow Germans, and your two names are so close. Sometimes I even think that you may It's his descendants."

"Oh! No, no, no... It is absolutely impossible for me to be a descendant of a speculative financial bankrupt who can't even eat, who relies on people's relief and talks nonsense. I am a businessman. A successful businessman! My friend! A successful person You will never worship a loser!"

Seeing Marcos' serious look, Fang Zida couldn't help laughing.

As an old friend, Marcos certainly would not be ignorant of Chinese jokes like most Westerners. He knew that Fang Zida was joking with him.The two laughed for a while before sitting down. In order to entertain Marcos, Fang Zida made a pot of coffee for him.

"I came to China this time to discuss a business with you." After taking a sip of coffee, Marcos said bluntly without waiting for Fang Zida to ask.

"Is it what Morgan and Rockefeller mean?" Fang Zida asked with a smile as he had already guessed a thing or two about Marcos' intention.

Nodding, Marcos said: "Not only them, but also consortiums such as DuPont participated. Who made you win this war? You must know that Russia is a big country, and such a big country has a lot to do after the war. , it can be said that this time several major financial groups in the United States have made similar requests. In addition, I learned from my own channels that there is a shadow of the American political circle behind it. Because of our personal relationship and the mutual relationship over the years cooperation, so let me negotiate with you."

Fang Zida took a puff of cigarette and asked, "Marcos, why did you tell me this? As a successful businessman, shouldn't you hide your cards?"

Marcos shrugged his shoulders indifferently: "What does it matter to me? I'm just a simple businessman, not a politician. Besides, we are friends, aren't we?"

Fang Zida immediately laughed. Marcos is very smart. As a businessman, he knows how to choose. Although Marcos is also a rich man now, he is far inferior to those top financial groups in the United States in terms of strength and background.In this kind of cooperation involving the national level, Marcos can't influence the outcome of the negotiation at all. Instead of doing so, it is better to sell a good deal to Fang Zida from the beginning, so that at least Fang Zida can give himself some benefits for the sake of friends. , and will not offend the top consortia and military of the United States.

For Marcos' sudden arrival, although Fang Zida had expected his coming, he was equally surprised.But when you think about it carefully, this is inevitable. The Chinese government won this war by unexpected circumstances. Although the free world is cheering for the collapse of the Soviet regime, Western countries are absolutely unwilling to see China in this war. An overly powerful China is definitely not in line with the interests of all countries in the Far East.

In this way, restraining China from obtaining too many benefits has become the main goal of the major powers. Although Britain and France were victorious countries in the European War, they suffered heavy losses in the European War and were no longer able to exert more influence in the Far East.As for the United States, although the European War has achieved the same dividends as China, the changes in the domestic political situation in the United States after the European War have led to a substantial reduction in the US Army and Navy. This is both helpless and extremely difficult for the US military An annoying thing.

For this reason, the U.S. government put forward proposals through the consortium, and it happened that the consortium also saw the huge temptation of Russia's reconstruction and tried to get a share of it.The two sides hit it off immediately, and coupled with the instigation behind Britain and France, which are powerless in the Far East, a plan to try to grab a piece of cake from the Chinese government was born.

"What do they want?" Fang Zida intends to listen to the other party's asking price first. It is impossible for the Chinese government to eat alone. If the other party's asking price is not too high, Fang Zida doesn't mind sharing some of the benefits.After all, compared with the Western world, although China has risen, it has not yet reached the point where it can fully compete.Furthermore, the territorial disputes between the coalition forces of Eastern European countries and the Russian Empire also need Western countries to come forward to coordinate and resolve them. Instead of taking advantage of Britain and France behind the coalition forces in Eastern Europe, it is better to sell the American consortium and the military. At least China and the United States are separated by the Pacific Ocean. , its conflict of interest is not significant.

Marcos smiled, and took out a thick document from the bag he was carrying: "Look at these first, the basic requirements are here. But I remind you, my friend. They are a pack of hungry wolves, you Be careful."

"Thank you, my friend, I will remember your advice." Fang Zida thanked, and after saying these things, Marcos got up and left, because Fang Zida needed to understand the situation before talking to him about the next thing, and both parties needed a little Preparation time.

After sending Marcos away, Fang Zida returned to the office and opened the document, and began to read it carefully, but as each page was turned, Fang Zida's brows became more and more wrinkled, and his expression became more serious.
