Saigon, later Ho Chi Minh City, this city did not have a dry season or a rainy season, and there was no winter. Even on February 17, when northern China was still covered in ice and snow, the temperature here was still above 20 degrees. It is close to the equator.

Compared to the Dutch colonies, the climate here is really warm and humid.

Feeling the comfortable temperature, the Dutch envoy still spoke cautiously, "The He Rui government has been established for a year, and news has spread throughout the Southeast Asian colonies, including the news that the fleet was sunk. We believe that a domino effect is likely to occur. We also got

According to some news, a lot of changes have taken place in North Korea."

Hearing what the Dutch envoy said, the Japanese envoy's face became unhappy. During the few months that He Rui's troops were in northern Korea, they did not deliberately support the resistance forces in northern Korea, but systematically eliminated the Japanese forces in northern Korea, making Japan

The restoration of rule in northern Korea encountered great difficulties.

The human resources loyal to Japan have been eliminated and can be redeployed. The public sentiment in the entire North Korea, especially in northern North Korea, is unstable, but there is no way to quickly restore it by rebuilding the Japanese government in northern North Korea. Unless Japan can completely defeat He Rui, North Korea can

The people in the north knew that anyone who launched an attack on Japan had no future.

In the current situation, the Ho Rui regime is getting stronger and stronger. The people in northern North Korea will only think that as long as they defeat Japan, they can gain their own interests. This is the biggest headache for Japan in its current rule in North Korea. Those North Koreans believe that as long as they defeat Japan

If He Rui launches another attack, Japan can be driven out of Korea. Korea can regain its independent status.

The French envoy is not unaware that Indochina, which borders China, is the first piece of dominoes. However, the French government is facing economic pressure. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has set the tone before the trip, "It is impossible for France to send troops, but the French government is looking forward to seeing it"

Go to the British government to start a war with the Ho Rui regime!'

With such a diplomatic mission, the French envoy expressed his support for the Dutch envoy in a sincere tone, "I declare once again that I support the British in carrying out a comprehensive military attack on the Ho Rui regime. Based on the obligations of the Allies, France will provide the British Expeditionary Force with

Maximum support.”

Upon hearing this, the Dutch envoy said unhappily: "Isn't France ready to send troops?"

The French envoy replied sternly: "Of course we have to send troops. As long as it is approved by Parliament, France will fight side by side with Britain to completely eliminate the Horui regime. At this stage, before Parliament passes a war resolution, only Indochina can provide military support.

Local armed forces.”

The Dutch envoy fully understood France's attitude. The so-called 'parliamentary adoption' is indeed France's war process. The French president and prime minister do not have the power to declare war, and war decisions must be passed by parliament. With the current relationship between Britain and France, the French parliament is absolutely impossible

Passed the resolution to declare war on China. As for the military strength in Indochina...this small number of troops can probably only do a little defense against He Rui's million-strong army.

So the Dutch envoy looked at the British envoy and asked tentatively: "I wonder when the British side is going to send troops?"

The British envoy was filled with the emotions of a dog. The current situation is the same as that of the British Foreign Office. France, Japan, and the Netherlands all fully agree with the British view that the Ho Rui regime threatens the security of the colonies in Southeast Asia. However, France, Japan

, the Netherlands, all they want is to let Britain be at the forefront and start a direct war with China. They will watch the British army fight bloody battles and give all support except participating in the war. When Britain defeated the Ho Rui regime, these countries

They join the war in order to gain the benefits of victory together.

If Britain had the strength to defeat the He Rui regime, there would be no need to convene such a meeting now. Britain would only need to send people to inform these countries that the British Empire was going to launch troops, and these countries would naturally follow suit.

In a sense, international diplomacy in 1925 was essentially no different from a mafia meeting. Of course, the leading brother, Britain, was not willing to take the lead on its own, and always wanted "brothers to express their opinions."

France, the second boss, has clearly expressed its attitude, and Britain turned to its loyal younger brother, the Netherlands. Of course, the Dutch envoy must use diplomatic rhetoric, but the underworld's words can also perfectly reflect the situation at this time, "Brother, you know my family background and population."

With millions of dollars, there are only a few warships that can go to the coast of China to fight. As long as the eldest brother takes the lead, brother, I will definitely follow!'

Of course, Britain knew about the family background of its younger brother Holland. After hearing Holland's statement, he turned to Japan, the former double-bonus stick on this street in the Far East. Japan's attitude was very sincere, "Brother, we were tricked by China some time ago, and now we also want to take revenge."

However, the emperor is not short of hungry soldiers, and the brother's family can't be uncovered. He also asks the eldest brother to send some money to the brothers first, so that the brothers can at least have a full meal and buy some machetes. It is also possible to follow the eldest brother and charge into the battle.'しa

When talking about the domino effect and the threat to the colonies, the attitudes of all countries are highly consistent and they share the same hatred and hatred. When it comes to practical issues, everyone comes up with their own calculations. The British envoy couldn't help but feel that "people's hearts are scattered, and it is difficult to lead the team."

Finally, on February 17, the "Joint Declaration of the Four Countries in Saigon" was issued.

On February 19, the British Foreign Office in London obtained the complete document of the joint statement. The British Foreign Office was not happy about this. They were waiting for another document, the economic assessment of China produced by British economic experts.

Birmingham is an important industrial city in the UK. The University of Birmingham in this city happens to be celebrating the 100th anniversary of its founding. The school's top management has already made a grand anniversary plan. It is still a few months away and has not yet started.

The buildings in the school are hundreds of years old, and their shapes are full of 19th-century style. However, the building materials are all red bricks, which has a more concise and lively style compared to the "stone" universities of Oxford and Cambridge.

Discussion group 563743675

During the Victorian era, science and engineering universities were established in six major industrial centers in England, and received royal permission before World War I. During the founding era, Britain had entered the industrial age, and the building materials of the six universities were red bricks.

, also known as the 'Red Brick University' by the British.

In the century-old red brick library, Cappelli, who is studying for a doctorate in economics, is immersed in studying a document. There are several economics monographs on the table in front of him, and Cappelli's right hand keeps writing.

I keep records, and when I need information, I look for it in the book.

As I wrote, the light became darker and darker, and before I knew it, it was evening. Suddenly, the room became brighter, and the librarian turned on the light. The next moment, there was a burst of joyful sounds from the students in the room, and the desk

The chairs made various noises as the students stood up. The library was immediately filled with an atmosphere of movement.

However, Cappelli was not affected. He was still concentrating on his work. This report needs to be handed over to the professor tomorrow, who will then forward it to the government in Downing Street.

After working until about nine o'clock in the evening, Cappelli finally put down his pen and took a deep breath. Finally finished, the feeling of relief made him suddenly feel hungry. In fact, Cappelli had already felt hungry, but this feeling inspired

Improved his mind and working speed.

Economics is not a subject that can be completed simply by calm thinking. The hunting-like impulse inspired by hunger is more suitable for such work. Cappelli needs such an impulse to capture from this document about the economic thinking of the He Rui government

its inner core.

At this time, the 'hunting' was over, and the tired Capelli felt that he needed a meal to eliminate hunger and replenish nutrition. He picked up the coffee cup, drank all the remaining cold coffee in it, and then packed up the documents.

, returned the books and hurried out of the library.

There must be no food in the cafeteria. Cappelli put the manuscript in the dormitory and ran out to find something to eat. The gas lights were on in the streets of Birmingham. It rained lightly yesterday and the ground was quite slippery. He leaned on the dark ground

The light reflected from the gravel allowed Cappelli to determine where slipping was unlikely.

At this time, the streets were full of night walkers, drunkards, and some unscrupulous people wandering the streets. There were also some nightingales who had not been able to attract customers, standing on the street corners with heavy makeup, greeting potential customers passing by. Nightingales, after all,

He was well-informed, and when he saw Cappelli's nerdy attire and demeanor, he didn't come up to talk to him, but just watched him pass by in a hurry.

After finally seeing a fish and chip shop, Cappelli hurried forward and bought one. The greasy-looking boss was wearing a white chef's uniform and a dark blue apron. When he was about to close the stall, he saw there was still business.

, he weighed potatoes and fish pieces and put them into oil pans for frying. At the same time, he did not forget to talk to Capelli, "Mr. College student, I haven't seen your classmates come so late recently. Did something happen to the school?"

"

Original text from .Ta

Cappelli, who studied economics, couldn't help complaining to his boss: "Now the government's focus is to pay off debts and war debts. With such heavy taxes, there is no money for development."

When the boss heard this, he sighed, "Oh... Mr. College student, after we won the war, life became even more miserable. Those Germans really deserve to die!"

Cappelli can answer the boss's last question with simple policies, but he can't talk to the boss about the current situation in the chat. Although the current situation is related to the war, the core is not simply that the Germans are hateful. The core of the economy lies in the market.

The reason for expansion and the outbreak of the European War seemed to be related to Germany's ambition. However, Germany's ambition was not simply due to the delusion of German Emperor Wilhelm II to dominate the world. Judging from the disclosure of various things, Wilhelm II was very timid and launched the

A large part of the causes of war are passive.

The real force driving the European war is that the entire world has been carved up. Under the current economic system, the market has been saturated. If Germany wants to continue to develop, it must seize the market. Capelli knows very well that if he tells his boss this

If you do, you will be considered a person who is not loyal to the country. There is no need to cause trouble for yourself.

Soon, the fish and chips were cooked and served in front of Cappelli. Cappelli bought a glass of cheap liquor from the boss, mixed it with condiments, and swept away the food like a whirlwind. Then he went straight to the dormitory.

Electric lights have been installed in the university dormitory. When I opened the door and went in, I saw my roommate Williams reading the report written by Cappelli. Cappelli poured himself a glass of water, drank it in one gulp, and then poured it on the bed.

Asked: "Socialists, what do you think of this report?"

Williams, like most educated young people today, supports the socialist system. Cappelli has debated many times with his roommates on the Soviet Union, and this report focuses on China's socialist system, which is rarely discussed by British educated youth.

, Cappelli would like to see what his roommate thinks of the economic ideas of this far Eastern country that claims to implement a socialist system.

Williams did not answer immediately. He turned back after reading the last page. His brown eyes were full of contemplation and doubt. After a moment of silence, he asked: "Are these all true?"

"It should be. The information provided by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is more reliable than those official news organizations." Cappelli said, putting his arms behind his head and looking at the mottled ceiling.

"If so, I think China's economic policy seems to be more radical than that of the Soviet Union. The Soviet Union used a command economy to force distribution, while China wants to increase the consumption power of the Chinese people and improve efficiency through the market. Although I prefer the Soviet Union

policy, and I have to feel that China’s economic policy does have greater ambitions." Williams replied. After speaking, he scratched his right cheek again, "I think the Chinese government has realized that they have to face a market economy.

various questions, and I am ready to meet the challenge...I am very interested in this.”

Cappelli likes to discuss issues with his roommate Williams, because this guy's ideas are often unexpected, as he just said, "The Chinese government is ready to meet challenges."

Do you want to continue revising this idea now? Cappelli felt sleepy and decided to sleep first. He said "good night", pulled the quilt over his head, and fell asleep in a moment.
