Years of the Republic of China 1913

There is a famous novel in later generations called "China Can Say No". This book was sought after by people as soon as it was published. It was once a sensation. Many Chinese were fascinated by the content of this book, and even shouted excitedly: "China has risen! Don't look at anyone anymore!" and so on.But Fang Zida is not some kind of angry youth, this kind of self-deception is just some literati's obscenity.Can China say no?Even if this sentence is changed to the United States, it can be said that it is difficult to say that it is impossible. You must know that the United States in future generations is the most powerful country in the world. In a sense, even the President of the United States admits in private that some issues need to be compromised There must be a compromise.

Today's China is far from reaching the national power of China in the 21st century, and today's international situation is far more complicated than that of later generations.Even if Fang Zida was annoyed by the private tricks and calculations of the Western countries, he had to deal with these things in a tactful way, and it was absolutely impossible to refuse in person.

Perhaps it was Fang Zida's performance that caused the other party to have an illusion. Richard immediately opened his mouth and made a lot of demands. The content was almost the same as what Marcos had given him before, and some aspects were even more demanding.

After listening, Fang Zida didn't get angry, instead he showed a contemplative expression.After a while, he opened his mouth and said: "As for the economic assistance proposed by your country, I personally welcome it very much. Over the years, China has achieved a lot of development in all aspects, especially the industrial and commercial cooperation with your country. The unprecedented take-off in cooperation with China is inseparable from your country's help."

Fang Zida first touted the friendly cooperation between the U.S. government, the consortium and China in terms of business and finance. The right to guide but not to determine, even if the operation of the central bank is relatively independent under the supervision of the Ministry of Finance and the cabinet.These cooperations need to be approved by Congress before they can be implemented.Of course, Fang Zida personally agrees with the cooperation with the United States, not only the United States, but also the cooperation of Western countries such as Britain and France.After all, this is a good promotion for China's development, but what Fang Zida said personally does not count, as mentioned before.The government only has the power to guide.

But for a friendly country like the United States, Fang Zida, as Prime Minister, can still carry out limited cooperation in some aspects. Of course, these cooperation aspects are far from what Richard requested.

"Your Excellency, thank you for your frankness, but I think we can go deeper, can't we? Your government has won this war, and now you and your cabinet members have a very high reputation in the country. I think as long as you If you can put your attitude on the surface, as for the Congress, there will be absolutely no problem, what do you think?"

Of course Richard would not be satisfied with Fang Zida's suggestion.In his opinion, what Fang Zida agreed to was just a small cooperation, and he did not solve the key problem.

The smile on Fang Zida's face faded instantly, and his expression became a little displeased: "Sir, what do you mean by that? Could it be that the power of the president of a democratic government like your country is above the Congress? If so, I Can it be considered that Mr. President of your country has the same rights as Mr. Stalin of the Soviet Union?" [

"No, no, no! Of course I didn't mean that! Your Excellency, I..."

Fang Zida interrupted the other party's explanation bluntly, and continued with a sullen face: "The reason why a democratic country is called democracy is that no one can have absolute rights, and rights need to be restricted. They need supervision! Although China is on the road to democracy It’s not long, but we’ve been trying to move in this direction from the very beginning. It’s always been. The United States is the goal of our learning, but today you gave me another answer, is our democratic process going wrong?”

How could Richard dare to answer this question? If he gave the wrong answer today, it might be published in the newspaper the next day.An American consortium and even a representative of the government claimed that American democracy is hypocritical and does not need to be supervised by the law. Double blame from the government.

for a while.Richard didn't know how to answer, and his expression became particularly awkward.At this time, Eisenhower, who had been silent all this time, intervened to save him from embarrassment.

"Your Excellency, Mr. Richard's intention is not so. Of course, we understand your concerns, but in our opinion, the reconstruction of Russia is also very important. In order to reduce the burden on your country, we can obtain In-depth and effective cooperation, these should be no problem, right?"

"Yes, yes, yes!" Richard gave Eisenhower a grateful look, and immediately took up the topic: "In a sense, helping Russia is not only to give the Russian people new hope, but also to help Russia move towards democracy. It’s a good start. In addition, our cooperation in Russia can also reduce your country’s financial burden and deepen the friendship between the two sides. This is of great benefit to both the Prime Minister and your country’s Congress.”

Cutting off the domestic tentacles of the Americans and the countries such as Britain and France behind them, Richard quickly changed the topic to Russia under the reminder of Eisenhower. In this way, Fang Zida could no longer use the domestic system and Congress to prevaricate At this moment, Fang Zida couldn’t help but sigh Eisenhower’s astuteness. No wonder Eisenhower is known as the most politically intelligent soldier. He was able to become the president not only because of his lofty prestige in World War II, but also because of his political ability.

Smiling and nodding, Fang Zida agreed, "Of course, we can cooperate in the reconstruction of Russia, which is what I would like to see personally. However, there is one thing that may disappoint the gentlemen, because even if I agree It helps!"

Looking at Fang Zida who spread his hands, Richard asked in surprise, "Why do you say that, Your Excellency the Prime Minister?"

"Because you got the wrong target." Fang Zida said with a smile: "You should not come to me about this matter, but go to Moscow to discuss with Her Majesty the Empress. Russia is still an independent country, and no one can understand this. Deny. In the war between China and the Soviet Union, our country declared war out of the justice of the free world. Our country and Russia are only allies in the war. Only the Russian government can decide on Russia’s affairs, not a third country like us that can discuss them privately. "

"This bastard!" Richard was almost stunned by Fang Zida's sounding righteous words. Who in the world doesn't know that China is the only one in Russia now?In the Sino-Soviet war, although the Russian Empire won the war and achieved the beginning of its revival with the support of China, the whole world knows that China has become the largest creditor and backer of the Russian Empire after this war.To put it bluntly, if Fang Zida stomps his feet now, Russia's political situation will have an earthquake. As long as the Chinese ask about some aspects, Russia will never refuse.

Now Fang Zida is [-], expressing his helpless attitude and asking them to directly negotiate with the Russian government.He was completely playing him as a fool, and Richard was so angry that his lungs were about to explode, but he couldn't use this reason to accuse Fang Zida in person. You know, Fang Zida's words can't be refuted in private or in public. Could it be that he Is it possible to regard Russia's independence and insist on putting China above the Russian government?If he said so, it would be no wonder that the Chinese and Russian governments did not protest.

"Of course...Of course...." Richard showed a smile that was uglier than crying, and gritted his teeth: "Of course we will discuss this with the Russian government and Her Majesty the Empress. But as Russia's ally, this time I want to With the consent of your country and His Excellency the Prime Minister, if possible, we also hope that you can convey our goodwill to Russia through your influence."

"So that's how it is!" Fang Zida suddenly realized, put his hands together and laughed, and immediately said without hesitation: "This is absolutely no problem, even if it is not for the long-term friendship between China and the United States, even if it is for the sake of friends. It must be helped. Bray, you record this matter, and find time to ask the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to come forward and pass on the request of our American friends to our Russian friends."

Chen Xun'en, the secretary who was in charge of this meeting, got up quickly, said that he knew, and carefully recorded this in his notebook. (To be continued...)[
