314 Country on a minecart

Hua Fei is actually very clear. There is not much time left for China and even for world security and peace. The golden development period of the 1920s will eventually lead the world into unprecedented panic in an unprecedented crisis. History also recognizes that it is this unprecedented economic crisis that has become one of the important incentives for the outbreak of World War II.

Hua Fei's initial idea was to curb Japan's development in all aspects, and even use military means. However, this strategy is a double-edged sword. While hurting others, it also caused some harm to himself. The most obvious example is the serious financial crisis encountered by the Nanjing central government this year. To some extent, it is not unrelated to the excessive investment in the government's military in recent years.

However, just as Hua Fei's actions were all about avoiding the recurrence of the Japanese army's large-scale invasion of China. Suddenly, he found that history has not only changed, but many history may never happen again. Although the gap between China and Japan in terms of comprehensive national strength does not compare detailed economic and industrial data, Hua Fei has already become confident that even if there is still a gap between China and Japan, this gap must be very narrowed.

In the military, especially the army, although the expansion of the army and the mechanical and motorization of the army are restricted by the fiscal budget, the current army forces can already put strong military pressure on Japan. The most obvious example is that the voices of withdrawing troops from the Northeast are increasingly frequent in the Japanese government and even the army. Many people believe that instead of spending their national strength in confrontation with China, it is better to find opportunities for pioneering from the north (referring to Russia) or from island countries in the Pacific. The large-scale emergence of this trend of thought may also be the basis for Wang Jian to propose the use of negotiations to release strategic confusion.

Although Hua Fei dared not completely agree with Wang Jian's advice, his views on many issues, especially on the construction of the financial system and his views on Sino-Japanese relations, caused Hua Fei to be extremely meditated. Hua Fei had to admit that he did have too many personal emotions on the issue of Japan, which also made various tactics too lack rationality. Perhaps this is also the fundamental reason for the outcomes of the Sino-Japanese issue, which are one after another, and are beneficial and loss-making.

To a certain extent, one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers. In this narrow area, it is difficult to accommodate the rise of two major powers. But at the same time, when neither side can swallow the other side in a short time, continue to fight against each other, which will end up getting hurt and will only make the jackal pick up the cheaper.

Moreover, Hua Fei admired Wang Jian's strategy of the strategic mist, which made the inspiration in Hua Fei's mind flash. The reason why Japan attacked China and even fought against China was not willing to fight to the death. Although there was so-called dignity and "sham culture", the root of anything was nothing more than the word "interest". The famous saying later, there was no eternal enemy, only eternal interests, which also applies to this era and between China and Japan. If Japan discovered a resource-rich "new continent" in another area? If the Japanese found that their navy had great potential? If they could fully feel China's kindness and strong force, let them understand very clearly that there is no future to confront China? If the Japanese government and the people will understand that China and Japan will work together to dominate Asia?

One by one, one thought was born and brewed in Hua Fei's mind. But at the same time, Wang Jian's brief opinions on financial construction also attracted Hua Fei's full attention. Hua Fei, who has lived in the United States for many years, would not be unaware of the power of financial weapons. It is precisely because of its strong military power and strong financial power that the United States has become the world hegemon for many years and has become one of the most remarkable empires in the history of human civilization.

In the post-colonial era, the traditional model of occupying land, sending troops, ruling colonies, and plundering the raw material resources of the colonies had begun to collapse in this era, and reached a liberated throne after World War II. However, the essential behavior of plunder in the colonial era never stopped. They put themselves on numerous means such as disguise, loans, aid, foreign capital, monopolizing core technologies, etc., and continued to monopolize and control most of the world's wealth, technology and resources. All the countries and people in the world are still no essential difference from the colonial era, and continue to create wealth for them.

However, Wang Jian’s unconscious idea of ​​financial security and foreign resource strategies has initially reached the point of control of the colonial economy. Although Huafei has no intention and plan to expand externally, at least one bottom line cannot be controlled by controlling the colonial country’s economy and plundering its own production wealth.

Without any suspense, Wang Jian was quickly summoned to Nanjing and had a secret conversation with Hua Fei. What surprised Hua Fei was that this young man who attracted a lot of attention from the cabinet office had not yet gone to college. He has been familiar with ancient Chinese books since he was a child and still loves history. He has had a deep study and attainment in modern history and modern foreign development history, and has learned a lot from it.

After Hua Fei had a deep conversation with Wang Jian for one night, Wang Jian disappeared from Nanjing the next day. Only a very few people knew that this young and unknown little person had changed his appearance and was about to take the path of studying abroad in Shanghai with another identity. Hua Fei had great expectations for him. Although Wang Jian was not very willing to leave his parents, Hua Fei said, if you don’t go to the powers to see him in person, how could you know yourself and your enemy and be defeated in a hundred battles?

Hua Fei hopes that Wang Yan can continue to enrich his knowledge abroad, not only studying abroad, but also having an intuitive feeling about foreign customs, habits, systems, etc., which is undoubtedly very important for the consultant and decision-makers. Not to mention anything else, this young man can worry about the general principles of national security and put forward refreshing directions and opinions in his ordinary position. Such talents are not focused on training, which is really a huge waste. However, Wang Yan's advice is now widely known in the central government, and it is inevitable that he will not be learned by outsiders in the end. Therefore, in order to protect Wang Yan's safety, Hua Fei finally decided to let Wang Yan have anonymous name and go abroad to study.

Since Wang Jian's advice was leaked due to negligence, Hua Fei simply took the initiative and gradually took changes in some policies. For example, newspapers controlled by Hua Fei, military newspapers and sole proprietorship newspapers have published comments on Japan's new thinking, and various arguments about negotiations with Japan, resolving disputes, and developing mutually beneficial and friendly development between the two countries have been flooded in a short period of time. At the same time, many important officials of the Chinese government have expressed their views on relations with Japan at this important opportunity of the Olympics, believing that China and Japan are neighbors and the long-term confrontation will be extremely unfavorable to the interests of the people of the two countries and the interests of the entire Asia.

The sudden change in attitude towards Japan by the central government of Nanjing not only made the opposition parties dumbfounded, but even the people also had a lot of inconsistencies in their minds. However, most of them believed that it was the serious fiscal crisis in Nanjing that led to the government's inability to continue the war against Japan. Therefore, the current active show of kindness is a compromise. Or in the words of the representatives of the opposition parties, this is the collapse of the image of the tough Nanjing government. This is the first time that the Nanjing government has betrayed national interests, sold Northeast China, and Taiwan to continue the rule of Nanjing. This is the move of the president, known for his iron fist, who surrendered to the Japanese in shame and completely unacceptable!

While seizing this opportunity, the opposition parties called on the people to join the camp of opposing the government and continued to put intensified pressure to urge the government to hold public elections as soon as possible and establish a truly elected and legal government. The implication is that the current provisional government has far exceeded the legal time limit and is an illegal government. Therefore, your President BGI is also an illegal president. Your so-called new thinking on Japan has nothing to do with the Chinese government.

But soon, the title of Wang Jian's advice was leaked from a new Asian perspective and new strategic thinking. Of course, it was not the whole article leaked, but a general meaning. The public newspapers quickly became hotly discussed. It turned out that the government's sudden change in foreign policy and even military strategy was not without reason, but because of this.

Current Affairs Commentary has always been a battlefield for clashes between major domestic critics, and this time is no exception. The major well-known critics have once again divided into two camps in the newspaper, with their backs and forth, and their pens are so sharp. However, the government still faded out of these debates as usual. For the sensitive issues of focus and abandoning the Northeast and Taiwan issues, the spokesperson of the Nanjing Presidential Office of China gave a brief answer. We have never promised to give up any piece of land in China, and we will never sacrifice the core interests of the country in exchange for peaceful development of any situation. It is just that war can never become a means to resolve differences, so we are more eager to use negotiation methods and peaceful methods to solve obstacles between China and Japan.

This short speech by the spokesperson of the President's Office has aroused considerable criticism. Critics believe that since they have decided to compromise with Japan and resolve the problem with peace talks, they cannot use tough words in their speeches without leaving any room for anything. Critics also sharply accused the Nanjing government of its volatile foreign policy and lack of long-term planning and general principles.

Originally, these critics' words would not receive a response from the government, but just the next day, someone from the Central Prime Minister's Office came forward to make some explanations. There were less tough words in the words and many more tactful words.

Not to mention the various reactions caused by this in China, the reaction of the Japanese government and even the military is not bad. Because while China is facing a fiscal crisis, Japan's economic situation is not much better. Just after the Kanto earthquake, Japan's industry and economy suffered a huge blow. Moreover, Japan has not gained much benefit in several consecutive wars with China over the years, and its economic development has been severely restricted.

In the same arms race, although Japan has a certain advantage in economy and industry, it is proportional to their investment. Moreover, Japan has stationed a large number of troops in the Northeast, which undoubtedly increases their military expenditures. Although Japan has an advantage in the navy, the investment in maintaining and expanding such a powerful fleet is also amazing. This greatly consumes Japan's limited financial resources and military expenditures, and its energy consumption reaches an astonishing level.

This is also one of the important reasons why the National Defense Forces has continued to grow for many years in recent years, the construction of naval construction, especially large surface warships, has been slow. However, the National Defense Forces Navy has taken advantage of the asymmetric advantages of submarines and aircraft. Although it cannot compete with Japan, it can at least deal with it, so that it cannot attack China's coastal cities and ports without scrupulously.

Compared with China, Japan is also facing a huge supply crisis, with various daily necessities, even industrial raw materials, coal, oil and other materials needed for burning warships. As early as after the Kanto earthquake, the Japanese government quickly implemented a material allocation system for the country. Until China suddenly changed its policy to Japan, the Japanese government itself had huge differences on this issue. Therefore, it can be said that China's sudden compromise is just right for Japan.

Assuming that China did not do this? What would happen to Japan? This is an unfathomable assumption, but a dangerous trend is that the army's power is getting stronger and stronger. The Japanese proud navy has rapidly declined in the military because it has repeatedly achieved unsatisfactory results in the war against China. Therefore, the generals of the Japanese army proposed to weaken the navy's military expenditure, use the navy to protect Japan's territory from invasion, and protect Japan's maritime channel.

All the military expenditure saved is used to expand the army, and double the number of troops within a year to launch a full-scale confrontation with China. It is either you die or I die, like a samurai who faces a desperate situation, picking up his sword and stabbing it into his abdomen, so resolutely and so crazy.

Before the Japanese government responded positively, a Chinese scientific expedition team in Australia discovered a huge coal storage area in its northeastern region, and initially estimated that the coal field could be mined for a century without being exhausted. Since Australia was under British colonization during this period, the Chinese government immediately sent a delegation to the UK to negotiate and negotiate the mining rights of the newly discovered coal mine in Australia.

Soon, the leader in charge of this inspection, because he broke the Chinese theory of oil poverty, presided over the exploration and discovery of three major oil wells in China. Li Siguang, a geologist known overseas, published a professional article in related journals, saying that Australia is a large island with extremely rich mineral resources, and the coal mines currently discovered are only a small part of Australia's rich mineral deposits.

Li Siguang did not mention too many other statements in the geological investigation report, but the discovery of large coal mines in Australia and Li Siguang's report still made a small number of knowledgeable people in China realize that such a rich continent is of great strategic significance for a country with a large population and a huge consumption like China. This is why the Chinese delegation was so quickly sent to the UK to negotiate cooperation in the development of coal mines.
