Chapter 293

Fang Jianxiong was not worried at all about protecting the law or not. Zhang Jingjiang could take this opportunity to express his position, which showed that Sun was betrayed by everyone. If he had to continue, he could only become a loner. As he walked, Fang Jianxiong wondered whether he should take advantage of it.

Diplomatic means to force the Japanese government?

Thinking of Japan, Fang Jianxiong smiled slightly. Diplomatic negotiations between China and Japan have been continuing. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has insisted that Japan has no problem importing various ores, but if Japanese products want to enter the Chinese market, tariffs must follow the new regulations.

The regulations are gone. What are the new regulations? Aren’t the Chinese people having the final say?

Ryans made a very lame excuse and sent an invitation to Fang Jianxiong. What invitation? Dodge Motors has set up a branch factory in China to produce trucks. Now it has three branch factories, one in Tianjin, one in Wuhan, and the third one in

Shanghai. Originally, Shanghai had the best conditions and was the most suitable for opening a branch factory. However, following hints from the Chinese side, Dodge was very cooperative and followed the Chinese side's wishes.

I have to say that the person in charge of Dodge Company in China is very smart and understands the characteristics of the Chinese market. The biggest buyers of Dodge trucks in China are government procurement and military procurement. And this truck production company is not just Dodge. But Dodge just took the lead.

.

After a few words of greeting in the living room, Fang Jianxiong took the invitation and said to Ryans with a smile: "Mr. Minister, please give Ford a message. Since you can't come to China to open a branch factory, the Chinese market will not see it in the future."

The Ford brand emerged."

Reigns was shocked and thought something had gone wrong again, so he quickly asked: "Why is this?"

Fang Jianxiong smiled and said: "I have no obligation to explain, and I don't need to explain." This sentence was so domineering that Ryans was in a daze for a moment and didn't know how to deal with it. Things are different now. With the expeditionary force joining the war, in the Allied Powers

After the status and role of the

With this rapid improvement, due to the involvement of Britain and France, the United States, which was not the world's leader in the first place, has quickly weakened its influence in China. Of course, the U.S. government cannot allow this situation to continue. Europe will always end, regardless of the use of war.

Americans have made a fortune, but what happens after the war is over?

It must be said that the United States produced two good presidents during a critical historical period. During World War I, Wilson was a far-sighted president. Because of his efforts, the international status of the United States improved a lot after it entered the war. Although it was still joined by Britain and France

It was a little outweighed by the gain, but the United States took the first step after all. President Roosevelt during World War II was a great man with forward-looking vision. Under his leadership, the United States used the big stick of funds to complete the goal of destroying the Versailles System.

, and made the United States become the world leader after the war.

Obviously, this was a very bad start. Ryans was not here to talk about the automobile industry. In desperation, Ryans had no choice but to wink at Fisher. At the critical moment, Fisher's role was obvious. Fisher also

He has another identity, that of the Special Advisor to the President of the United States on China Affairs.

"Dear Fang, is it convenient to talk here?" Fisher stepped forward with a smile and took over. Fang Jianxiong put away his indifferent smile, glanced at Yang Yongtai beside him, and left with good sense and closed the door behind him.

"Okay, Fisher, let me give you face and tell the truth. Some American companies are very careless and even frivolous when it comes to China. Among them is Ford. You know, when dealing with friends, I

What kind of attitude is that? But I must emphasize that the United States, which has always been friendly to China, still retains bills that discriminate against Chinese people. I hope that people of insight in the United States will speak out on this issue and not ruin China and the United States.

The fruits of cooperation accumulated by both parties over the years.”

Fang Jianxiong’s stick was a bit harsh. Although the relationship between China and the United States has always looked good, in fact there has always been a lot of friction. Especially some American companies, what they need is only the Chinese market, not to set up companies in China.

, let alone helping China develop its industry. On this issue, Fang Jianxiong has always had a very clear understanding. The United States, from the day it was born, has been a country that will do anything for its own interests. To cooperate with such a country, we must also

alert.

Now that Sino-US relations are looking good, it does not mean that China will follow the baton of the United States. Fang Jianxiong will never show mercy to those companies that refuse to invest in China and have a negative impact. Ford is a typical example, refusing China's request for its

At the same time as the invitation to build a factory in China, it threatened that there was no need to produce cars in China.

"Dear Fang, I can understand your mood. But these are minor issues. I think the relationship between China and the United States still needs to look forward. At the moment, Europe is fighting fiercely and the United States has joined the war. As friends for many years, for the sake of China and the United States,

"We have friendly relations with each other, and I think it is necessary for the Chinese and American militaries to strengthen cooperation." Fisher said his true intention. In fact, the news had already spread before.

Commander-in-Chief of the U.S. Army Pershing suggested to the U.S. government that it is necessary for the U.S. and Chinese militaries to form a joint front. On this issue, the U.S. government has made requests to the Allies through some channels. France flatly refused, and the British attitude was ambiguous. When it came to Fang Jianxiong, it was

Angry! Why is it angry? It’s very simple, because the United States communicates with Britain and France before China, instead of communicating with China first. What does this mean?

Mentioning this, Fang Jianxiong showed an angry look on his face, and said to Fisher unceremoniously: "There is no need to consider this issue, and there is no need to consider it. The Chinese Expeditionary Force has a strong antipathy, and even the French army can only

The Chinese Expeditionary Force is required to cooperate in operations." During World War I, the U.S. military's performance could be described as poor. If they join forces with the U.S. military, wouldn't this push the expeditionary force into a pit of fire?

"Your Excellency, Chairman!" Ryans couldn't sit still and stepped forward to answer. In fact, he had always envied Fisher for being able to address Fisher as "Dear Fang" while he could only address his position. Fang Jianxiong turned around and looked over, Ryans

Seeing this stern look, Si felt a little guilty. He stepped forward and whispered: "Your Excellency, as entrusted by Mr. Wilson, President of the United States, I would like to convey the following goodwill. First, the U.S. government is willing to provide a loan of US$500 million to help China.

railway

Construction. Of course, the premise is that these railway projects are constructed by American companies. Second, the two battlecruisers will be delivered to the Chinese Navy next year, and the U.S. Navy is willing to help the Chinese Navy train relevant personnel. Third, China and the United States will strengthen the depth of cooperation and achieve strategic goals.

Partnership. Fourth, the U.S. government is willing to provide technical assistance to China in the fields of metallurgy, petrochemicals, machinery, etc. Fifth, the Chinese and American militaries will establish a joint command in the European battlefield."

Ryans spoke quickly, and the more he spoke, the more confident he became. These five points were proposed by Fisher and recognized by the U.S. government. When Fisher submitted the report to Wilson, he pointed out that Fang Jianxiong was a nationalist and had

Strong national self-esteem. If you want to gain his recognition, you must grasp his eagerness to make China strong. For China to be strong, it must develop education, transportation, and industry, all of which require sufficient funds to support.

To put it bluntly, China lacks funds for development, a problem that has always troubled Fang Jianxiong. Although he has made great progress in the military field, the continuation of this development requires the support of national industrial development. Otherwise, the Qing Dynasty's Beiyang Fleet will be even worse.

Same, short-lived. Medium

The United States is separated by the distant Pacific Ocean. With China's current situation, it will be difficult for China to reach half of the current industrial level of the United States within fifty years. In this case, what is there to worry about? Which country completed its industrialization within fifty years?

China, which has not completed industrialization, will be able to

None of them may pose much of a threat to the United States. Not to mention that the world leader is the United Kingdom. If the United States wants to play the leading role on the world stage, it must first defeat the United Kingdom. There is a more realistic thing before the United States.

Britain and France are trying their best to win over China. In order to make China

China has increased its efforts to send troops to Europe, and even came up with a draft to assist China's industrialization construction, which is currently under discussion. How to put it, it's not that France doesn't want to, but that France is now very poor and has no intention to do so. The franc is fast.

I can't support it anymore, so I'm going to change it to credit currency.

The U.S. government does not have financial difficulties, but now is the time when it has too much money to spend. Looking at the issue from the perspective of the U.S. government's long-term interests and Asia strategy, we cannot ignore China, a major country that has already achieved a certain status on the international stage. It wants to challenge the British

Governance cannot be achieved without China's cooperation. From a geopolitical perspective, China's biggest enemy is still in the Far East.

Since there is no conflict of interest in the short term, why not cooperate? The loan requires interest payments and also provides a lot of opportunities for American companies.

It seems that Fang Jianxiong was moved by Ryans's five points, which made Ryans feel very proud. This Chinese revolutionary is not a revolutionary in the traditional sense. It seems that he has a deep understanding of the American political system and values.

Great recognition.

"Well, I need time to consider this issue. But one thing I want to make clear is that when it comes to China issues in the future, I hope that the U.S. government will better communicate with China first, rather than communicating with other countries first." Fang Jianxiong's words,

The looseness in attitude is obvious.

"Your Excellency, Chairman, I can explain this issue. It is not the U.S. government's first communication with Britain and France, but the behavior of the U.S. side in private. Some U.S. military generals believe that matters on the battlefield can be resolved on the battlefield.

It has nothing to do with the government. Frankly speaking, I cannot agree with these views, and I deeply regret this." Reigns quickly explained.

Fisher interrupted at the right time: "Dear Fang, I think the sincerity of the US government is sufficient."
