Fengxian Jiangshan

Chapter 828 Ambitious bargain hunting

Afghanistan is a magical place. Whenever an empire stands at the pinnacle of the world, it will attack Afghanistan, and this often means that an empire is going down the road. The worst thing is that after the Soviet Union retreated, the country collapsed .

Zhang Tinglan has always had a headache if he attacked Afghanistan. The heart of the Eurasian continent had to be in his hands, but how to control Afghanistan and avoid following the old path of other countries is a big trouble.

Just a few months ago, Afghanistan had just suffered a coup, and King Amanullah was ousted from power.The king was not a simple figure either. He ascended the throne in the year of the 3s. In the same year, the British launched the third Anglo-Afghan war. A total of more than [-] British troops based in India and stormed Afghanistan.

As a result, the well-equipped British army was defeated by the Afghans. Amanullah led Afghanistan to win the status of ul. For a small country, this is definitely not an easy task.

But ten years later, this hero on the battlefield was resigned in a coup and exiled to China, which is really embarrassing.

At this moment, Zhang Tinglan was walking side by side with the king. Amanullah was not yet 90 years old, and he was quite young. He just suffered a coup and looked very lonely.

Zhang Tinglan said with a smile: "Your Majesty, I have a presumptuous question. I wonder if I can ask it?"

"Mr. President, I was advised to go to India, someone suggested to go to the Soviet Union, but in the end I chose China, just to know your opinion. As far as I know, China and Afghanistan were in a similar situation ten years ago , are all controlled by foreign powers, but China's reforms have achieved great results in recent years, while Afghanistan has been mired in the quagmire."

"Your Majesty, I heard that some of your reform measures are modeled after Turkey, and are also secularized. For example, you promulgate a constitution, replace religious laws, and even encourage girls to go to school. This is not allowed in Muslim religion. Being able to make this change also shows that you sincerely hope that Afghanistan will become prosperous and strong, and I personally admire your courage.”[

What Zhang Tinglan said was not a lie. If Afghanistan could follow the path of Amanullah, maybe the religious forces would have been disintegrated long ago.

"Your Majesty, with all due respect, these reforms of yours have not touched the fundamental problem, but are just superficial."

Amanullah looked suspicious, and couldn't help but asked: "Mr. President, I have already prepared to implement an electoral system, elect a congress elected by the people, and then implement the separation of government and education, let boys and girls co-education, and conduct secular education. Isn't it enough?"

"Your Majesty, there was a poor family who lived opposite the landlord. One day the poor found that the landlord was wearing a mink coat. He wanted to wear a mink coat. He heard that the landlord ate eight vegetables for a meal, and he also wanted to eat eight. What a dish, seeing the landlord bought a new car, he also wants to buy a car, he thinks that as long as the landlord does what he does, he will be able to live like a landlord, do you think this is okay?"

"Of course not, he is a poor man, how can he compare with the landlord!" Amanullah was also a king who had been king for ten years, and he couldn't continue when he said this.His own behavior is clearly that of the poor man Zhang Tinglan mentioned, who has no capital but wants to completely emulate the West. No wonder there will be problems!

"Your Majesty, if the poor want to live the life of the rich, the most important thing is to earn money, which is the most obvious thing.

The same is true in state affairs. Gradually make the country rich and powerful, and then take small steps and make various reforms continuously. This is what should be done.However, Yiye blinded Mount Tai and was deceived by some western appearances. He only saw a little fur and was in a hurry.There are also a large number of people in China who blindly advocate total westernization. In my opinion, they just let a heavily armed person train according to the standards of competitive athletes, and the country will be tossed to death sooner or later! "

In the end, there were not many countries that copied the Western system, but most of the countries that copied it after World War II had two situations, one was hope to disappointment, and the other was disappointment to despair.And what is even more paradoxical is that no country has completed industrialization under the condition of one person, one vote. This is a heavy slap in the face for those who brag about the West all day long.

In the final analysis, the reason is very simple, that is, the economy determines politics, and if industrialization has not been completed and a large amount of social wealth has not been accumulated, there is no way to play extravagant tricks like elections.

Hearing Zhang Tinglan's analysis, Amanullah's forehead was already sweating. Looking back on the past, how could he have done fewer mistakes?This time he was kicked out of the country, largely because he asked people all over the country to change into suits and abandon their original clothes, so there was a problem.

"Mr. President, thank you for your advice. If I could have listened to your teachings earlier, I would not be where I am today!"

Zhang Tinglan secretly laughed in her heart, if she hadn't fallen into today's situation, she might not have listened to her sincerely.Zhang Tinglan smiled slightly: "Your Majesty, it's not too late to think clearly, you still have a chance to make a comeback."

Amanullah's body shook suddenly, and he asked hesitantly, "Mr. President, are you willing to support me?"

"Of course you can, but I suggest that you first accumulate strength on the border outside Afghanistan, and then reorganize your political views on governing the country. As long as the time is right, you can counterattack Afghanistan."

The so-called political views were of course drafted with the help of the Chinese side. This time, all the flashy things of Westernization were completely discarded.The main content is two, the first is to enrich the country, and the second is to eliminate hunger. [

Rich countries want to make full use of Afghanistan's favorable terrain to launch trade.Especially after China and Iran reached an arms sales contract, the relationship between the two countries has become closer and closer. Therefore, Zhang Tinglan is going to start from China, pass through Afghanistan, and build a railway to Iran.

Later, Turkey can be pulled in, so that Chinese goods can be sent to Europe by land.It is a huge boost to the economy along the way, and it is also good news for China.

Once it is done, Afghan businessmen can benefit from it, and it is obvious that these people have been pulled over.

As for the problem of hunger, Zhang Tinglan suggested that China and Arab countries cooperate to exchange minerals for food.Although China has a large population, it can still be self-sufficient, and the population of Afghanistan is not too large, so it can be solved anyway.

However, Afghanistan's resource resources are quite astonishing. It has a large amount of rare metal resources, such as chrome ore, which is an important raw material for the production of alloys. China's gap has always been very large.Moreover, there is also a super-large Lutai copper mine. As long as it is mined, China's defense industry will not have to worry about it.

In addition, the parts adjacent to Central Asia have been controlled by China at this time. These areas store a large amount of natural gas and oil. Once developed, they will be a great source of income.

It is not difficult for Afghanistan to become rich. In fact, just like a certain big country in later generations, if it is willing to spend [-]% of its war funds to invest in Afghanistan, it will definitely not end up in the ground.

This is also the difference between Western countries and the Eastern world. Zhang Tinglan has great ambitions for Afghanistan, but he does not want to conquer Afghanistan. Let us sit together and discuss how to make a fortune and become well-off!

Zhang Tinglan stayed in Dihua for half a month, deployed the action plan against Afghanistan in detail, and helped Amanullah regroup the team, and sent it to the Sino-Arab border for training and waited for the right time.

After the pawn fell, Zhang Tinglan returned to the capital slowly. In fact, he was not used for such things.But in order to hide from the quiet, he had no choice but to run away.

In fact, the capital was in chaos during Zhang Tinglan's departure.Both the stock market and enterprises have touched some people's sore spots. They are absolutely unwilling to change, but Zhang Tinglan has made up his mind, and they have nothing to do.

The army was the first to carry out reforms. The original military welfare company was completely disbanded, and all other things that soldiers only enjoyed official state treatment were eliminated.In addition, military officers at all levels are not allowed to participate in any business operations. Soldiers have only one mission and that is to be responsible for fighting wars.

The army is often the most difficult place to reform, but Zhang Tinglan has unparalleled prestige, and after the order is issued, it is quickly implemented.Hundreds of military officers who were suspected of violating laws and regulations and using power to smuggle were thoroughly investigated, and 11 of them were generals.

After the military dealt with it, Zheng Fu also made detailed regulations, and established the National Capital Management Committee run by UL. This committee is in charge of a deputy prime minister and is only responsible to the president.His mission is to manage all state-owned assets and ensure the effective operation of state-owned shares.

In addition, no one in the government can directly intervene in the operation of the enterprise.Enterprises such as Anshan Iron and Steel, Dalian Shipyard, Jiangnan Captain, Wuhan Aircraft Factory, etc., all state-owned shares are also clearly divided. The right to operate independently.

When the equity division is clear, the responsibilities are also clear. There are detailed boundaries for who should do what and who can control what.

Zhang Tinglan also issued two decrees, all administrative officials, immediate family members and spouses are not allowed to establish a company alone, nor are they allowed to form a joint stock or joint venture with other people.Anyone who violates the regulations will be punished, and may even be directly dismissed from office. If there is a problem of using power to mobilize, it should be lent to the judiciary to deal with it.

The second order is the property disclosure system, which is also a very important anti-corruption measure.The so-called property disclosure of officials does not mean that all civil servants' property must be disclosed, and there is no such thing in the world. It is the personal concealment of others and is sacred and inviolable.

In the Western world, only those officials who directly vote for election should be publicized. After all, if you want to be elected, you have to accept the test of the public.

The disclosure system formulated by Zhang Tinglan covers the president, prime minister, ministers, and deputy ministers. Only these people need to disclose their property and be subject to real-time supervision.Zhang Tinglan made a special request that if anyone is found to have assets abroad, they will be severely punished.

If other officials find overseas property, once verified, they will also be dealt with.These two regulations are equivalent to putting a curse on all officials.

The originally intricate relationship between politics and business was dismantled at once. Zhang Tinglan's attitude was very clear. If you want power, don't even think about having a representative. You can only choose one of the two. question!

As the president, Zhang Tinglan also set an example. His property is completely disclosed, and the expenses of the presidential residence are also transparent.It's just that Zhang Tinglan and his family have a lot of property in their hands. If all these things are announced, the amount will be too scary.

Therefore, Zhang Tinglan had already dealt with all the domestic property. As for the foreign part, he transferred it to the account of the National Development Fund. In name, Zhang Tinglan became a downright poor person.

Of course, when it comes to his status, money is just a symbol, whether it is present or not, it will not affect anything.But after all, in order to regulate the officialdom and the political and business circles, he must make a cut. This attitude is very important, at least not to leave any excuses for political opponents.

These measures undoubtedly violated the interests of the bureaucracy. People from all walks of life rushed out from the political, business, and military forces to stop Zhang Tinglan's actions, but no one could find Zhang Tinglan.

After he returned to Beijing, all kinds of work had already started, the media had publicized it, and no one could object to it.

The reshuffle of domestic politics has begun, but Zhang Tinglan's attention has been put abroad again. After 30 years, the economic crisis has deepened, and the economy has shown no signs of recovery.And the Americans ran out another extremely stupid decree, that is, the "Hawley-Smoot Tariff Act". From tax exemption to taxation in the past.

Since then, countries around the world have been caught in a tariff war. Every country is desperately raising tariffs and creating barriers, and a trade war has begun again.

It was already deeply in the economic crisis, and in the end, it also imposed trade barriers. The consequences can be imagined, that is, the international trade volume was directly cut in half, and the export of the United States, which first provoked the trade war, was cut by more than half.

This bill makes countries continue to sink in the midst of the economic crisis, making recovery more difficult.But the more this is the case, the more opportunities there are for China. After Zhang Tinglan returned to Beijing, he immediately arranged for a bottom-hunting operation.

The huge capital held by China has become the capital of Souwu's excellence since the Industrial Revolution. Zhang Tinglan immediately sent a government procurement team led by Gu Weijun and Tao Jiping to the United States.

At the same time, headhunting companies and purchasing managers in the name of s people quickly poured into the United States like a swarm.His goal is very clear, people, equipment, technology, as long as they can be seen, they will all be brought back to China.

On the streets of major industrial cities in the United States, New York, Detroit, Chicago, Philadelphia and other areas, you can see the presence of Chinese leather bag companies. These people have a lot of money, and as long as they are suitable talents, they will be recruited immediately.

In addition to them, Tang Shaoyi, Kuang Rongguang and others who studied in the United States in the early years really drew up a list of top scientific research talents that needed to be recruited, and a huge bargain-hunting operation started like this.
