Years of the Republic of China 1913

The documents brought by Marcos involved a wide range of issues, not only related to the loan for Russia's post-war reconstruction, but also the American consortium's request to jointly develop the Serov Oilfield with the Chinese government.In addition, the Americans also have a series of corresponding requirements for Russia's mines and railways.In addition, the U.S. government also proposed to send some troops to assist Russia in maintaining post-war order in the name of the newly established member countries of the League of Nations, and to cooperate with the Chinese National Defense Forces to ensure regional peace and so on.

On the surface, the words and phrases of the Americans are filled with a lot of "freedom", "equality" and "peace", but these rhetoric still cannot conceal the true purpose of the US consortium and the military joining forces.Moreover, in some respects, Fang Zida also saw the shadows of Britain, France and other countries. From this point, it shows that the United States, Britain, and France have reached an agreement in private and decided to snatch Russian interests from the Chinese, and even directly or indirectly affect the future of Russia. political situation.

There is no reason for Western countries to see China dominating the East. Especially after the victory of the Sino-Soviet War, as the earliest and most helpful ally of China, the pro-China attitude of the Russian government has become very obvious.Once Russia recovers after the war, China and Russia will form a long-term strategic partnership. Such an alliance between the two major powers will be an outcome they do not want to see for Europe and the world.

Interfering in Russia's post-war reconstruction, exerting influence on the Russian government, and at the same time restraining China's growth, this is an urgent problem for Western countries.To be honest, during the European War, the American consortium and the Chinese government were allies on the same boat. In particular, Fang Zida used the opportunity of the Soviet-Russian Revolution to secretly cooperate with the American consortium, setting off a wave in the international financial market and gaining huge benefits.From this point of view, the rapid development of China during the European War and the few years before and after the end of the European War is inseparable from the help of these consortiums in the United States, of course for the consortia.They are equally profitable.

But don't forget, just like politics, capital is also emotional.There is a proverb among Westerners, that is, "business is business." From a Western point of view, it doesn't matter how good the two parties are.But once the relationship between business and friends is involved, it is put aside, and only the interests are the most important.

What's more, in addition to the premise of chasing capital and interests by the consortium, there is also the agitation and support of the military and the government.It is not too surprising that Marcos can bring these things. Although Fang Zida has long made plans to make limited concessions, Fang Zida will never accept these demands.

At this time, Fang Zida's mind suddenly flashed a sentence that someone once said: "xxx came down from Mount Emei to pick peaches...." Similarly, this sentence can also be said now.That is, under the banner of peace and friendship, Western countries began to intervene in the political situation of China and Russia in the name of consortia in an attempt to pick peaches.

The next day, Fang Zida continued to meet with Marcos, but this time was a little different from the last time, it seemed more formal.There are not only Fang Zida and Marcos in the office, but also several members of both parties, representatives of Marcos' one-man consortium.Another gentleman in his 30s who looks like a lawyer is nominally the legal adviser this time.But when Fang Zida heard his name, he secretly laughed in his heart, because this was actually Fang Zida's well-known character, Dwight David Eisenhower, known as the Millennium Major.

Wearing a pair of glasses, Eisenhower, who looked like a middle school teacher and a third-rate lawyer rather than a soldier, had no idea that Fang Zida knew who he was when he announced his name.How could Eisenhower's famous name, Fang Zida, have not been heard of?The Millennium Major was so brilliant in the history of World War II. He served as the commander-in-chief of the Allied Forces and was awarded the highest honor of a five-star general by the US government.After retiring, he participated in the presidential election and became the No.30 fourth president of the United States...  [

Of course, the current Eisenhower is not the later commander-in-chief, five-star general or president. He is just a small major staff officer who has just been transferred from the 20th Infantry Brigade in Panama to study at the Army Staff Command Academy.Inexplicably, he received this task without completing his studies, and accompanied Marcos and others to the far east in the name of a legal adviser.

Due to Eisenhower's fame, Fang Zida couldn't help but look him up a few more times.Responding to the Chinese Premier's friendliness with a smile on his face, Eisenhower also wondered why the other party looked at him strangely. Did he forget to look in the mirror before he came out?Are you covered in ashes on your face?

Quietly raising his hand to wipe his face, Eisenhower took out his notebook and pen, and pretended to perform his duties as a legal adviser.

The talks between the two sides were very harmonious at the beginning. Fang Zida first reviewed the friendly relations between China and the United States since the establishment of diplomatic relations, and thanked the US government and financial groups for their help to China's development during the European War.It also talked about the past when the United States took the initiative to refund Boxer indemnities, told some anecdotes about schoolchildren studying in the United States, and joked that many people in the Chinese government now have experience in the United States. From this point of view, the relationship between China and the United States It is a nation of brothers, an old friend who has stood the test of time.

These words made both sides laugh again and again, it seems that this is not a negotiation, but a tea party to review the friendly exchanges between the two countries.But after finishing talking, Fang Zida changed the subject and talked about the Sino-Soviet war that had just ended.

"The Sino-Soviet war is a great victory of justice over evil, freedom and democracy over dictatorship!" Fang Zida passionately defined this war. The Americans did not refute this statement, on the contrary, they agreed with it.

"Your Excellency, we admire the efforts of the Chinese government and the Chinese National Defense Force in this war. Similarly, we also know that your government has borne great pressure in this war, especially for a country that has just For a rising country, the military expenditure of the war is extremely huge. As a friendly United States, although it failed to directly send troops to fight with your country during the war, this does not prevent the United States and China from being the best allies. I don’t know Do you agree with this statement?"

"Come... come!" Fang Zida thought to himself, it was not Marcos who said this, but Mr. Richard, the representative of the consortium. Although his words were friendly and congratulatory, the same words were also a trap. Fang Zida knew his name by heart.

"Of course!" Fang Zida nodded and said with certainty: "Wars are multi-faceted. Our National Defense Forces fought against the enemy on the battlefield and won the victory by paying their lives. Although your country did not send troops, But from the point of view of a politician, this is nothing, because the political structure of your country determines that participating in the war requires very complicated procedures and a long time. Has it only been a few years? Of course I can understand this."

Fang Zida's words made the Americans a little embarrassed, and the answer was yes or no, because there was nothing wrong with Fang Zida's words on the surface, and it could even be said that he was considerate of the US government.But the potential also has another meaning, that is, Fang Zida alluded to that you Yankees don't reach out because you don't see the benefits, and you will never take the lead in the business that you are not sure about.

Before the Americans could react, Fang Zida continued: "Your government stopped the relief work against Soviet Russia after the outbreak of the war. This is a great change. It is very grateful that your country supported our country morally during the war. In addition, your country also formed a military observer team with Britain, France and other countries to participate in the war indirectly. So whether or not your country officially joins the war, it is still one of our best allies, there is no doubt about it.”

Richard smiled awkwardly after hearing this, but as a representative sent by the consortium, he is not an ordinary person. He is not only a veteran in business negotiations, but also a politician who understands politics. Thankfully, as an ally of China, although the United States did not provide much help during the war, the United States is a responsible country after all. In view of the price your government paid in this war, the United States government, including financial groups, feel Obligation to assist your country to stabilize the economy and continue to develop. In addition, regarding the reconstruction of Russia, in order to avoid excessive economic pressure on your government, our country has decided to provide some necessary help.”

"Oh, the help from friends is of course a good thing, but I don't know what kind of help?" Fang Zida asked with interest, pretending not to know, and Marcos on the side was as silent as a puppet, because he gave the gift yesterday. Fang Zida's share was completely hidden from the representatives of the consortium.Marcos is not a fool, nor did he do this because of his relationship with Fang Zida, because he already knew that he was only a small role in this matter, and he would not get any benefit from talking about success or failure. Just a few sips of cold soup.It would be better to take this opportunity to sell Fang Zida. The Chinese pay attention to sending charcoal in a timely manner. As long as Fang Zida remembers him, he will naturally give him some benefits. Not to mention rebuilding this area in Russia after the war. As long as Fang Zida speaks, he will immediately The Coase family will be able to obtain far greater benefits than they are now.

Of course, Richard and Eisenhower didn't know about Fang Zida's private contact with Marcos. They only thought that Marcos just visited Fang Zida yesterday as an old friend and got the line.Who would have thought that Marcos, a cunning Jewish businessman, had already sold his own people secretly, and at a good price.
