The Family and the Country Chapter 62 Report

Foreign Affairs and internal affairs are what Yang Rui wants to explain today. Although Song Jiaoren is not good at doing anything, the Academy of Doubt can launch a distrust case and push the backup Du Yaquan up to form a cabinet, he still hopes that things will not be done ugly. Besides, Song Jiaoren has been in the political arena for more than ten years, and his vision and wrists have been honed to perfection. At the age of 45, as a politician, he is still in the prime of his life. Judging from his performance over the years, he still has a great hope for any prime minister. (The best experience of reading novels is here)

At nine o'clock in the evening, Song Jiaoren, who was blushing, said goodbye; Zhang Taiyan became more and more scent of his wife. After Song Jiaoren left, he was also taken away by Tang Guoli. This time, Xie Zhangtai's family members did not come, so when the table of the female family members started to clean up, only Yang Rui and Xie Zhangtai were still drinking in the restaurant.

"Dunchu is also mature." Xie Zhangtai said after Song Jiaoren left: "Sometimes I really worry that he will lead the Kuomintang to push us down. Then they will be a big party and we will be a small party."

"The Kuomintang is just a few outstanding people. After these people go down, who else do they have?" Yang Rui didn't care about the threat of the Kuomintang. "Not to mention the generals of the Fuxing Army who will enter the political arena after retirement, even the newly-entered gentry and others are not the Kuomintang can compete with. Dunchu, it's still stingy. You see, he just needs to know that he put the Kuomintang headquarters in the Huguang Guild Hall. Isn't this clearly saying that the Kuomintang is the Huguang Party? Other provincial capitals obey them?"

"But we are also divided." Although the fourth election of the 4th Academy of Scholars has not yet ended, Xie Zhangtai still foresees that the new representatives must be completely different from the previous puppet representatives. Although these people might listen to something when they first came up, they became familiar with the rules of the game in the end and knew that their roots were completely in the state capital, and they would definitely be dishonest with their wings.

"If it is divided, it will be divided." Yang Rui didn't care at all. "From the fourth session, the bills passed by the Notice Academy are the real ones. Didn't we control the previous ones?"

"But..." Xie Zhangtai looked at Yang Rui carefully, and he said seriously: "Although things have changed, it is useless to say more, but you really hope that the political situation will become like this? For example, the French cabinet collapsed once a few months."

"Of course not like that in France." Yang Rui smiled, "But if the president and prime minister of the United States and Britain do not work, the White House and the Whitehall are closed, what's the point? Because the power is not in the government at all, who cares about the government's shutdown? Now we are controlling or influencing finance, economy, public opinion, and industry. It really doesn't matter whether there is a government. If Song Dunchu doesn't work, Wang Dunchu will change, Liu Dunchu will change, Liu Dunchu will still be naughty. Then change it. Zhang San, Li, Four, Wang, Wu, Zhao Liu, whoever obeys will come to power, if not, then just find a gentry to go up. The future struggle is a struggle between the government and the Academy of Jiyi, but the Academy of Jiyi can be overthrown at any time, so according to the existing laws, the government will lose."

Before Yang Rui's thoughts, Xie Zhangtai knew about it. He smiled and said, "Why should we follow the law?"

"That is, there are only revolution, populism, and war." Yang Rui said, "Revolution and war are both force. It is said that Du Wen from the Gay Society has been questioning the combat effectiveness of the Fuxing Army, saying that it is just a material transport team like the Qing army. She claimed that once workers are launched to occupy the city, her workers' picket team can wipe out all the troops that were going to encircle and suppress, seize the enemy's weapons to arm herself, haha..."

"Haha..." Yang Rui said humorously, and Xie Zhangtai couldn't help laughing. Although Yang Rui was not involved in specific diplomatic affairs, he used civilization as a tool and indeed described the mind behind the US diplomatic strategy extremely accurately.

"This is how Americans are." Yang Rui saw the United States, which acted as a world policeman in the future, and combined with the current domestic isolationism and Wilsonism being alternating for the first time in the United States, he understood the essence of American diplomacy more clearly. "They think they are God's elect. They were blessed by God, so they didn't want to care about things outside the American continent, because this would make the United States as dirty as the old continent.

However, domestic industry is basically saturated, and capitalists need new markets and raw materials, so the Americans have begun to advocate maritime power since Mahan. They hope to open up huge Asian markets, especially the Chinese market. They occupied Hawaii and snatched the Philippines from Spain. They also helped us build the Antongmei Railway, implemented gold and Yuan diplomacy, supported us in the battle with Japan, and finally saved ancient Europe in the name of angels.

But what is the result? In their opinion, we deceived them. The alliance between China, Japan and South Korea and confronted him in the Pacific is the best evidence of deception; this is the same in Asia and Europe, sending nearly two million troops to help the Allies win the war. But Britain and France did not buy his account at the meeting. Wilson's League of Nations plan was almost waste paper. The most important thing is that the money owed had not been paid back, and he didn't even want to pay it back.

Since the old continent is full of bad people, why should God's elected people join these sluggish people? Let's live a peaceful life behind closed doors. At this point, it can be said that Wilsonism, which started with Mahan, has completely revived. If nothing can alarm her and no longer have any economic pressure to divert, she will never come out again."

After Yang Rui's speech, Xie Zhangtai nodded frequently and said, "It's possible, is this possible? I mean. The United States has been shrinking into North America and has been isolated."

"It's very difficult." Yang Rui drank a deep sip of wine, "but it's not impossible. The US economy is now soap bubble, and stock market speculation is extremely crazy. The soap bubble will be broken in the past one or two years, and it will be amazing that the economy will land hard at that time. He has so much production capacity, but the domestic consumption is insufficient; Europe, which barely maintains prosperity by lending, also lacks consumption, so capitalists who really can't stand it may instigate the government to start a war, and the demand will increase once the war is fought.

Then there is Europe, especially Germany. His economy relies entirely on American loans. If the soap bubble in the United States breaks, his economy will naturally collapse completely. A few years ago, Mark depreciated a riot, which would be even more amazing if the economic crisis occurred..."

Yang Rui suddenly stopped here, his face began to turn a little white, and the sweat beads on his forehead could not help but flow down. Seeing that his previous sentence was still free, but now his sweat beads were repeated, he was immediately startled. He grabbed Yang Rui's arm and said, "It turns out..., are you... uncomfortable?"

"No!" Yang Rui wiped his sweat, and he smiled bitterly: "I suddenly thought of a philosophy, that is, what happens usually happens will be a preview. Since the Russian Bolshevik Revolution was like this, 1905 was a preview, 1917 was officially staged; the situation in Germany was like this, 19 years was a preview, 1933 was a formal stage; further forward, the same is true for the European War, the Bosnian crisis in 1909 was a preview, and 1914 was officially staged..."

Although Yang Rui’s statement was well-founded, Xie Zhangtai was still a little confused. He asked, “What do you want to say?”

"I don't want to say anything, and I can't say anything for the time being." Yang Rui shook his head, and turned back to the previous topic and said: "If the incentives for the collapse of the United States can be blamed on Europe before or during the economic crisis, including the owed money and not repaying it, including the need to expand factories for the sake of the European war, and the inability to fire workers after the expansion, so the society has to be encouraged to submit consumption to ensure the continuous operation of the factory and allow workers to have wages to support their families. Then, the economy collapsed overnight and the American people were in dire straits...

Chong'an, if this idea can be repeatedly instilled in Americans during the economic crisis, it will definitely aggravate their isolationist sentiment."

"What should we do if Europe really fights? Do we need to send troops?" Xie Zhangtai had to agree with Yang Rui's idea. It is really good to defeat others without fighting, but is it realistic?

"We don't have to send troops, we just need to help Britain and France be tough at key nodes. If Germany cannot find allies, or the Kuomintang and Socialist Party fails to take risks and is driven out of power by the Germans, the war will likely be eliminated." Yang Rui thought, and he also thought that if Europe does not start a war to divert the United States' attention, the unlucky one would probably be himself.

The three-legged squad between China, the United States and the Soviet Union after World War II was a way to resist the United States. But it was even more a way to put the United States in isolationism from beginning to end, making it not interfere in the affairs of the Eurasian continent. The former was that the collapse of the Soviet Union a hundred years later was still a confrontation between China and the United States; the latter continued to maintain the current international situation, but not to exclude the risk of the United States going to war, how could it interfere in European affairs and calm Hitler's second place?

Although Hitler had died long ago, the backbone of the Nazi Party was there, and what was amazing is that even the Nazi flag and Nazi rituals remain unchanged from history. How could everything be determined in the dark?

Thinking of another "better" solution besides the Dingli Plan, the conversation with Xie Zhangtai was gone. At this time, Yang Rui, who put down his chopsticks, stepped into the study where he could enter, and then looked at the world map and countless post-it notes on the wall in a daze. He remembered a sentence very much, that is, everything that happened in the 20th century was due to the weakness of the British Empire. The reason why the British Empire was weak was the emergence of internal combustion engines and electricity.

Technology has changed the economic structure and the military power comparison. Although Germany seized the Second Industrial Revolution, the United States on the other side of the ocean is even more so. Moreover, the geographical conditions there are better and strategic materials are more abundant, so in the end, the United States will succeed Britain as the world hegemon rather than Germany.

The problem in China is: the plot is roughly determined, the actors are already in place, and the director has called "atin", but in the director's setting, China, who has just graduated, is just a small supporting role. No matter how hard he plays, it will eventually make the protagonist of Red Neck famous.

According to the data from this year's Business Intelligence Bureau, China's GDP is 39 billion Chinese yuan [Note 130: If not specified, the GDP value in the book is calculated based on the dollar value in 1911. After World War I, the US dollar continued to depreciate, and the largest depreciation was 40.94% in 1934. The US dollar depreciated by 40.94%.], that is, 19.5 billion US dollars. Japan's GDP is estimated to be 9 billion US dollars, which is 285 US dollars, which is less than 30 billion US dollars. Although this exceeds the UK and Germany, it is only 30% of the United States. Even if it exceeds the UK and Germany, the agricultural part of China's GDP is more than 50%, and most of the industry is infrastructure construction. If you really calculate the manufacturing GDP, the result will probably be similar to France, and it may be higher, but it is not much higher. Compared with manufacturing GDP alone, China and Japan are less than 20% of the United States.

Since that's the case, why not destroy the filming and let the American Red Neck continue to act as a soap opera watched by housewives? In this way, you are the top five in the world, and East Asia and even half of Asia have the final say. Why sit and watch the evolution of history to get rid of isolationism and eventually become a world policeman...

Thinking of reversing history, Yang Rui felt blood rushing up his head a little, and he had to calm down and not think about such complicated things. He carefully cut a cigar open and sucked the clouds for half an hour before he could resume his thinking.

To stop the war, the atomic bomb is the best. Once Germany starts war and sees that when the Nazi Party holds a congress, the nuclear settlement of Berlin will be basically solved. As for the future, nuclear bombs will naturally be exchanged for rights and interests under international pressure. From now on, the Nanyang will become a joint colony between China, Japan, Britain, France and the Netherlands. Why should we liberate the monkeys in the South? India's San would be better for continued colonization for three hundred years...

But what if the atomic bomb technology is handed over and it is sold by Britain, France and the United States? Or this further verified the existence of "Dr. Fu Manchu". The Yellow Perish theory of great success brought out the God-selected Americans, and then evolved into a Cold War of opposition between Yellow and White races. A hundred years later, China fell to the ground like the Soviet Union.

The atomic bomb must be very cautious, but it does not require an atomic bomb. Even if it seizes some historical nodes, the dissatisfied Germany and the blind appeasement of Britain and France will still re-arm Germany in the hope that it will attack the Soviet Union, and the final result will be no different from World War II. If China is threatened by the United States, or is fighting with the United States at this time, it will not interfere with Europe in any case. In the end, the world will have to be saved by God's elect America.

World War I laid the root of the world economic crisis. The Treaty of Versailles, the depreciation of the Mark and the world economic crisis became the foundation for the Nazis to come to power. The Nazi's position of "just the cannons do not have butter" made war ultimately inevitable. History is like an iron chain, one link after another, and it is extremely difficult to break it. Taking China as an example, the war against Japan is a battle to break the ring. The reason for its breaking is the Bohai Sea terrain and the use of submarine torpedo bombers. But in the history of Germany, which link can be broken with no effort?

In the last few days of the 16th year of Shenwu, Yang Rui was thinking about the things in Germany. He hoped to find a way to stop World War II without spending much money and taking risks. He thought so deeply that the final report on the Prime Minister was done by Li Zilong.

On the 17th day of the twelfth lunar month, the lights were brightly lit and the thunderous hall of the jury Academy, with nearly a thousand people's attention and the flash of nearly a hundred cameras, Yang Rui walked onto the lecture stage. Under the command of the Speaker, he took everyone to bow to the national flag, and only after the ceremony began to read the Prime Minister's work report.

"Dear representatives of the Academy of Scholars, representatives of the Academy of Scholars, and the Greater Chinese Nationality: This government took office in April of the 12th year of Shenwu, which has been five years since then. Here, on behalf of the Prime Minister's Office, Yu Jin reported on the achievements and shortcomings of the current cabinet term to the Fifth Session of the Third Academy of Scholars, and asked you to review it.

First, review of government affairs during term of office.

There is no doubt that the term of this Prime Minister was the most turbulent since the founding of the country. So far, I still cannot believe that for some so-called ideal of saving the world, a gentleman can also kill people like numb, blood flowing into a river without changing his face. The west wind has spread to the east, and there are countless ideals of saving the world. There are one or two killings. For this reason, this cabinet has revised the constitution, reformed the political system, improved the law, and advised the people in order to avoid tragedy. In the future, the cabinet should also keep in mind the blood lessons and not tolerate them.

Apart from the rebellion, during this cabinet term, the development of the world economy is stable and the diplomatic political situation is stable, and the achievements of national economic development are remarkable.

The national GDP is 39 billion yuan, which is the fourth place in the world, second only to the United States, Britain and Germany; the national fiscal and tax revenue is 1.135 million yuan, and the tax rate is only 2%**, which is the lowest among the world's countries; the per capita net national product is 67.94 yuan, and the world's countries rank 57th, which is greatly improved compared with the previous term.

The country's grain output has increased for fifteen consecutive years, with 1.7 billion mu of arable land. The total grain output this year is 2600 million tons, making it the world's first. There is still a gap between the goal of 240 kilograms per mu, but hybrid rice that has been studied for many years has finally begun to breed and promote this year. The national grain yield of 240 kilograms per mu can be achieved and surpassed in the next few years;

The country's cotton production has also increased for fifteen consecutive years. This year's total cotton production is 350,000 tons, second only to the United States and second in the world. Since the 12th year of Shenwu, my country has been in line with the trend of cotton import and export and began to export cotton. Affected by the cotton production and cotton prices, the country's spindles have a total of 7.34 million spindles, and cotton exports are in short supply;

The national transportation network is under continuous construction. To date, the founding country has built 21,500 kilometers of railways, and the four-dimensional and three-horizontal railway network has taken shape. Wuchang Yangtze River Bridge, Nanjing Yangtze River Bridge, and Jiujiang Yangtze River Bridge have been completed and opened to traffic. More than 340,000 kilometers of highways nationwide are built, including more than 36,400 kilometers of Chinese roads, more than 93,000 kilometers of provincial roads, and more than 240,000 kilometers of county roads. The construction of the national river transportation network is smooth, with the Yangtze River water system, Songhua River water system, Pearl River water system, Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal and other rivers being thoroughly dredged. The total navigation mileage of inland rivers is 140,000 kilometers, and a six-level channel of 100 tons can be passed through more than 80,000 kilometers. In five years, a total of 1,230 inland waterways are built, with an annual cargo transportation volume exceeding 200 million tons;

Five years of education have been widely popularized nationwide, of which the number of junior high school students is close to 30 million, and the number of senior high school students is 17 million; the number of graduates in middle schools and technical schools is 1.4 million; the number of graduates in junior colleges and universities is more than 154,300. The national scientific research results are outstanding, and a total of 41,371 invention patents are applied for in five years and 34,122 utility model patents are 34,122;
