Time Bandit

After Ji Qing met with the envoys of Britain, France, the United States and other countries stationed in China, the only thing he said was to abolish all unequal treaties.Afterwards, Ji Qing turned around and left, leaving those stunned ghosts with a big back of their heads!

They wanted to talk at first, but seeing Ji Qing like this, they only left one sentence, and they knew that Ji Qing had made up his mind.

They will not doubt Ji Qing's words, because Ji Qing has this strength, the Soviets they couldn't deal with at the beginning, and even the more powerful Soviet Union, were all beaten up by Ji Qing. They even sent troops to intervene in Ji Qing before. They couldn't do it, and now that Ji Qing was taking back the privileges of other countries in China, they couldn't stop them.

Thinking that the days when they enjoyed countless privileges in China for nearly a hundred years are gone, these China hands who have been in China for many years, and even the ghosts whose ancestors have enjoyed it in China, still feel a little sad.Although it was not enough to shed tears, at this moment, they couldn't help feeling extremely emotional.

The old era, the era when countless gold and silver treasures could be obtained with a few earthen cannons, is gone forever.

Ji Qing walked out, instead of going back to the office, he went out for a walk.This country is carrying too heavy a burden. Even Ji Qing, a future man, will feel extremely humiliated and sad when he comes to this era.

From the middle of the 19th century, Western powers invaded China one after another, forcing the central government at that time to sign a series of unequal treaties, grabbing a lot of privileges in China, and reducing a huge feudal empire to a semi-colonial and semi-feudal country.

According to incomplete statistics, from the "Sino-Russian Nebraska Border Treaty" signed by China and Russia on September 1689, 9, to the "Exchange of Letters on Trade Relations" signed by China and Italy on August 7, 1949, various old treaties More than 8, involving more than 25 countries and organizations.Among them, the United Kingdom signed 1000 agreements with China, Japan signed 50 agreements with China, Tsarist Russia signed 236 agreements with China (excluding those abolished during the Lenin period), the United States signed 217 agreements with China, and Denmark signed 141 agreements with China. indivual.The vast majority of these treaties are unequal treaties.

The imperialist powers obtained the following privileges in China through unequal treaties:

1. Wantonly plundering China's territory and indemnity.The imperialist powers seriously trampled on China's sovereignty through unequal treaties and wantonly plundered China's territory.For example, Tsarist Russia forcibly plundered more than 150 million square kilometers of territory from China through treaties such as the Treaty of Aixi, the Treaty of Beijing, and the China-Russia Exploration of the Northwest Boundary; Taiwan was cut off; in 1897, Germany forcibly leased Jiaozhou Bay; in 1898, France leased Guangzhou.The imperialist powers used unequal treaties to obtain huge indemnities from China. According to incomplete statistics, from the signing of the "Nanjing Treaty" in 1842 to the Boxer indemnity in 1900, the total amount of various indemnities borne by the Qing government was about 72 million taels of silver, only Boxer compensation plus interest totaled nearly 250 billion taels of silver.Huge reparations made China's overwhelmed economy even worse.

2. Control China's economic lifeline.The imperialist powers control China's economic lifeline through the export of commodities and capital.By the beginning of the century, there were 21 foreign banks in China with more than 100 branches.For example, HSBC in the UK has the right to issue currency and lend to the government.The imperialist powers set up a large number of industrial and commercial enterprises in China. These enterprises mainly invested in public utilities, manufacturing, import and export, and finance, and owned a large amount of real estate.Pig iron, mining, railways, ocean transportation, oil, etc. in old China were basically controlled by foreigners.By the time of the founding of New China, there were still more than 1000 foreign companies in China.

3、控制中国的海关。中国的海关大权自18世纪50年代起就落入洋人之手。新中国成立前，全国海关最高管理机关和地方海关的主要职务均由外国人担任。海关的总税务司、副总税务司、各关税务司、副税务司共69人全部由外国人担任；帮办244人，其中219名是外国人；总巡、验估、验货(2人全部为外国人；扦子手501人，其中外国人418人；管驾驶的42人，全部是外国人；先后有7名外国人担任过中国海关的总税务司。

At the same time, foreigners can navigate freely in China's inland rivers. In 1858, the "Tianjin Treaty" signed by China and Britain seriously violated China's inland water navigation rights, and it became more and more serious after that.Not only foreign merchant ships can navigate freely in China's inland rivers, but also foreign warships rampage in China's inland rivers.China's economy has suffered huge losses and its sovereignty has been seriously damaged.

4. Enjoy consular jurisdiction.Consular jurisdiction is a violation of the sovereignty of the country bearing consular jurisdiction and an insult and discrimination to the country.In old China, hundreds of thousands of foreigners enjoyed this privilege, including those from Japan, the United States, Britain, France, and Portugal.

5. Obtain the right to garrison troops.The imperialist powers also obtained the right to garrison troops in China by taking advantage of unequal treaties.For example, there are U.S. troops stationed in Shanghai, Qingdao and other places, and U.S. and British warships are docked in the Yangtze River.After the war, the U.S. signed a series of treaties and agreements with the Kuomintang government, such as the Sino-U.S. Friendship, Commerce and Navigation Treaty, the Sino-U.S. Air Transport Agreement, and the Qingdao Naval Base Secret Agreement, enabling the U.S. to use its territory and territorial waters in China. , airspace, garrison, and inland navigation privileges.

In addition, the imperialist powers also obtained the right to operate freely, judicial power, and navigation privileges in China.Some imperialist countries have also opened some propaganda agencies in China.

These privileges and forces reduced China to a semi-colonial country.It is unknown so far, except for the rights that have been abolished and the rights that Ji Qing has recovered, there are still many rights that have not been recovered.In his time and space, the privileges of these countries in China were not completely abolished until the founding of New China.

Bandits, shameless to such an extent, this is the face of Western countries!

If you don't have strength, you will be beaten and bullied by others. This is true for people, and it is the same for a country.

Fortunately, Ji Qing also has strength, the ability to change everything.After all, the world still speaks with fists.All civilization and etiquette are not worth mentioning in front of fists!

Three days later, the countries responded to the new government, and they finally agreed, and they couldn't disagree, because the initiative was not in their hands.

One month later, countries abolished the economic and technological blockade against China and resumed normal bilateral relations.Of course, now all countries have no privileges in China, and the relationship is completely equal.

Afterwards, the new government started a new round of cooperation plans with various countries. This was mainly proposed by Ji Qing, which is to hire experienced workers, technicians, scientific and technological workers, experts, professors, etc. who have lost their jobs due to the economic crisis in various countries. .After all, there is still a shortage of talents in this area in China. Ji Qing can solve some of the problems, but cannot solve all the problems after all.

Countries are very happy to agree, because this is simply to solve their country's burden.The Soviet Union was very good before and imported many technicians from various countries.Unfortunately, everything was destroyed by the Sino-Soviet war.Now the Soviet Union is very chaotic, with constant internal conflicts and an extremely sluggish economy.Those technicians from various countries in the Soviet Union were all affected, and the losses were not small.The rest of them, who dared to stay any longer, hid in the consulates of various countries in the Soviet Union one after another, ready to return home at any time.

In the case of the Soviet Union, there are still a large number of unemployed technicians in various countries, and there is nowhere to go. After all, life is still a matter of life.

Therefore, they are still very willing to start such cooperation with China now.Although they don't want to add bricks and tiles to China's construction, but under the current economic crisis, they can only do so. Let's solve the immediate problems first.

Countries still have a grudge against Ji Qing, that is, because of the Sino-Soviet war, many aid projects to the Soviet Union stopped.Regardless of whether Stalin will be able to repay those loans in the future, the suspension of the aid program alone will cause a lot of losses to all countries.

In this regard, they also want to cooperate with China. After all, China is still far behind the Soviet Union, and the market will be even bigger. If not, they will make a lot of money.In this regard, they are extremely looking forward to.

Ji Qing didn't lack funds or technology, but he lacked materials.Although a large amount of supplies can be transported back through those lurkers, this cannot solve the fundamental problem.

So, he thought about it, and after Skynet analyzed it, he launched a series of cooperation with various countries.The main purpose is to obtain basic materials from all over the world through trade.

Looking at the cooperation items proposed by Ji Qing, the representatives of various countries felt a little bitter in their mouths. Isn't this sending beggars away? !Don't you build a steel plant, don't build a railway, and what you cooperate with is just some economic and trade gadgets? !

However, mosquito legs are also meat, and there are still many colonies in various countries. Coupled with the economic crisis, their supplies are sufficient to death.Rather than rot, sell it to the Chinese.

Of course, they couldn't sell at a high price. Ji Qing knew the details of each country, so naturally he wouldn't let them take advantage of it.After a lot of haggling and bargaining, the countries found that even if they sold the surplus materials, they could not make much money, and they might not even be able to make back the cost.However, it can be considered a liquidation, and they haven't paid out in the end.

In this way, in the bumpy cooperation with various countries, time passed slowly.After the establishment of the new government, China has also demonstrated its unparalleled vigor and vigor, and is developing rapidly in all aspects.Especially with Ji Qing's plan, the possible disadvantages in the country's development process have been reduced to the minimum, and it is completely benign, healthy and rapid development.

According to Skynet's analysis, it will take less than three years for this country to reach the level of a primary industrial country.Within ten years, it will become a powerful industrial country comparable to the United States.The reason why it takes ten years is mainly because China is too short of talents in all aspects. If it wants to catch up with the United States in this area, it will take at least ten years.

Here we talk about catching up with the United States, but it is completely comparable to the United States ten years later, in terms of industry, economy, and talents.This is definitely not a simple matter. Without the analysis of Skynet and the help of countless descendants, it is unimaginable for Ji Qing to turn a backward China into a developed country.

Ten years is not long.Maybe, Ji Qing can't wait for that time, but with his imprint on this world, it is enough to ensure that China will become the most powerful and prosperous country in the world. . .
