Years of the Republic of China 1913

Chapter 4: Their Calculations

While arguing with Richard, Fang Zida instructed the cabinet to do whatever it wanted. When the United States was still hesitating about the feedback from China, a series of reconstructions between the Chinese government and the Russian imperial government Agreements were signed one after another.The Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Ministry of Finance, Ministry of Communications, Ministry of Industry and Commerce, and the military signed an all-round cooperation agreement on November 1922, 11, which determined most of the interests of the Chinese government in Russia and invested in The first batch of post-war loans of up to 20 billion silver dollars, which will be issued in the form of food, armaments, agricultural infrastructure, and factory inputs, marks the official start of the reconstruction of Russia.

The Chinese government's tactic of pulling wages from the bottom of the pot completely panicked Richard. He never thought that the Chinese would start cooperation with Russia alone without negotiating with them.However, despite his anger, he could not stop the behavior of the Chinese government.

The news spread to the other side of the ocean, and the American consortium, government, and military circles were also caught off guard. Some people clamored to use this to punish the despicable behavior of the Chinese, but these voices were very popular among most sober-minded people. It was quickly suppressed.After private discussions, the consortium suggested that since blackmail was unsuccessful, it is still the most important to focus on immediate interests. At least from the bottom line shown by the Chinese, most of the interests of the United States can be guaranteed.Up to now, it is enough to firmly grasp this area first. As for the interests of the British and French allies, who cares about it at this time?Thinking about yourself is the best policy.

The Americans are very realistic, and they have no fear that the British and French will be annoyed that the United States and China have reached an agreement alone.After all, the European war turned the whole of Europe into ruins. The United States is now the creditor of Europe, and even the Chinese hold the weakness of Britain and France.You are the most important thing.

As for the Japanese, let alone.In the eyes of Americans, Japan is just a tool used to contain China.Let me ask, since tools are only held in human hands, can they still speak for their masters?Even the interests of Britain and France can be abandoned by the United States, so what about Japan?In order to avoid long nights and dreams, the United States quickly reached an agreement.Decided to accept the request of the Chinese government.

Finally, when the news was officially delivered to Fang Zida through the three-person group, Fang Zida finally breathed a sigh of relief.In fact, he is instructing various cabinet ministries to speed up the signing of the agreement with Russia in order to use this method to force the United States to make concessions.This was a gamble. What Fang Zida blocked was the influence of the American consortium on the political world. Besides, Fang Zida skillfully took care of the face of the American military circle, and basically completely agreed to the comprehensive military cooperation between the American government and the Chinese National Defense Force.

You must know that in the past few years, due to the US government's strong suppression of the military, the military's power within the government has declined sharply.But a starved camel is bigger than a horse.Which of the generals in the military does not have a deep background?There has long been deep resentment towards the government's various policies against the military. Since the Chinese have made concessions in terms of military cooperation, it is not bad to take this opportunity to hold back the government. Let the government see the military. The power still exists, and this is the result that most people in the American military are more likely to see.

Fang Zida is not Sun Wen, who only knows how to talk, nor is Yuan Shikai, who is keen on power.He has a long-term vision that politicians of this era do not have, and at the same time has a deep understanding of the essence of Western political, business and even military circles.Pull one faction and fight another faction.Fang Zida's skill is perfect, and he holds Mei Fang.Use the power of the military to fight against the U.S. government, then hold most of the consortia against the rest, then hold the United States to suppress Britain, France and even Japan, and finally use cooperation with Russia to force the other side to make a choice.So far, he is very happy to see that its purpose has been achieved.

relieved.Fang Zida was also secretly grateful for this result. In his opinion, this was the best result he could achieve.Politics is an art of compromise. The exchanges between countries cannot be blindly tough, and of course they cannot be blindly weak.Fortunately, not long after the European War, the two great powers, Britain and France, suffered huge losses in the war.They are simply unable to directly bargain with the current China. This is the main reason why Britain and France do not directly come forward, but hide behind the United States.As for Japan, Fang Zida didn't look down on him at all. After winning the Sino-Soviet War, China's international status in the world has surpassed that of Japan. Except for the lack of navy, the glory of the Chinese National Defense Force in the war made the Japanese military The world was amazed.According to the intelligence from Japan, the Japanese Ministry of War once deduced the results of the confrontation between the Japanese Army and the Chinese National Defense Force. The conclusion made the Japanese military very frustrated, because they found that the current Chinese National Defense Force has become a behemoth that the Japanese Army cannot compete with. , not to mention that China also has an air force that Japan does not have. Once a war breaks out, apart from its superiority at sea, Japan will not have the power to overwhelm the Chinese.

On December 1922, 12, on this day, China and the United States signed a series of agreements with the Chinese government on Sino-US military cooperation, commercial cooperation, industrial education cooperation, etc. under the representative of American Ambassador Shulman. China, the Russian Empire and the Russian Empire signed a comprehensive cooperation agreement between China, Russia and the United States in Beijing. The signing of these agreements marked another great change in the world pattern.

After the agreement was signed, the members of the trio completed their tasks and returned to China.After saying goodbye to Fang Zida, Marcos returned to the United States with a full harvest.On the first day after he arrived in the United States, he ushered in two distinguished guests-Morgan and Rockefeller Jr.

"Good job, buddy!" Rockefeller Jr. hugged Marcos in the most intimate way very rarely, and Morgan stood aside with a smile and nodded slightly.You must know that the Morgan Consortium and Rockefeller have always been rivals. There have been countless times of open and secret battles between the two, but no one can do anything to the other.A few years ago, under the leadership of Fang Zida, the two parties had a limited cooperation and made huge profits from it.But it has never been the case that two people appear in one place at the same time, and they are still facing the head of a small consortium that has only just risen.

"Dear gentlemen, it's a great honor to meet you. This time, our plan has finally succeeded." Marcos said cheerfully, took the champagne from Rockefeller Jr., and raised his hand to greet the two.

"Yes, my friend who has worked hard for you, I believe you will get what you deserve." Morgan nodded with a smile, and at the same time glanced at the little Rockefeller beside him, who also nodded, expressing his approval sentence.

Marcos was immediately overjoyed. He knew that he had officially stepped into the uppermost society in the United States from today and became a member of it.This result is not due to the fact that he has been acting in China for so long.In fact, the establishment of the trio was superficially promoted by the consortium, the US government, and the military. In fact, the real reason was the two heads of the top US consortia in front of them.When the Sino-Soviet War was coming to an end, Morgan and Rockefeller Jr. also saw huge future benefits from it, and thus used means to promote this action.

In order to ensure their own interests and achieve the greatest possible success, the treacherous Morgan and Rockefeller Jr. deliberately found Marcos, invited him to join them, and set a trap for everyone to achieve their goals.Now that Marcos has successfully completed his mission, the two consortiums have extended their tentacles into Russia and obtained potential business opportunities in the Far East with the permission of the Chinese government.This was a huge success, and for Marcos, although he took advantage of Fang Zida's friendship, this kind of thing that is beneficial to both parties is normal for a businessman, and he also took this opportunity to jump into the top of the United States In his circle, he became a partner of two major consortiums.

Fang Zida will not know the secret between Marcos, Morgan and Rockefeller Jr., but what if he knows?Fang Zida didn't care about these things either.With the signing of the agreement between China, Russia and the United States, the mediation of the League of Nations also made progress.Leveraging the political influence of the United States, Russia's waist in the League of Nations has also become much straighter, and a proposal has been put forward for the division of the border between Belarus and Ukraine, requiring the Eastern European Allied Forces to return to the pre-war situation.Of course, the Eastern European coalition forces would not agree to this point. Not only did they want to cut off a large piece of land occupied by Tsarist Russia, they even planned to make Belarus and Ukraine independent and completely split from Russia. (To be continued..)
