~.-~ Volume 1 Turbulent Era Chapter 106 Which of you is suitable?

Since the Manchu Qing Dynasty, China has been extremely wary of the infiltration of other countries' forces. Since the Opium War in 1840, China has always been defeated in every war between China and the great powers. In the subsequent humiliating treaties signed, except for one

In addition to the larger amount of war reparations, there is another thing that is the same. This is that every time the great powers force the Chinese government to open up more freedom for countries to do business and activities in the mainland. The Chinese government's response to this is also the same.

The reparations are the same, but they have to be restricted even if they risk their lives. From the perspective of the Chinese government, opening up such powers to the powers in mainland China is almost tantamount to ushering in a scourge and is absolutely unacceptable.

This situation still exists after the abdication of the Qing Dynasty until today. In the minds of most people, doing so is tantamount to selling out national interests. But Fang Zida does not think so. Compared with selling land rights and development rights in areas surrounding the railway, it is

Under limited and controlled circumstances, it is not impossible to relax a little. Of course, Fang Zida still supports legitimate business behavior, but Fang Zida will never agree to doing things in the name of business.

It was rare to be generous today. Fang Zida finally agreed to two requests from Ichiro Fujita. Firstly, it was to appease the Japanese and prevent them from becoming angry after the Qing*dao incident. Secondly, Fang Zida also had plans to properly open up the mainland market.

, it’s just a way of selling a favor. Soon the Japanese will know that it is not only Japan that has received permission from the Chinese government, but also other countries around the world that have diplomatic relations with China.

As for Fujita Ichiro's excited reaction, Fang Zida can also guess a thing or two. Uchida Ryohei and Touyama Mitsuru are not fuel-efficient lamps. Although these two are normal business behaviors that are beyond reproach on the surface, if you think about it deeply, the Japanese are sure

will do what they want in it.

There is precedent for this. Even before the Sino-Japanese War, Japan sent a large number of spies, disguised as Chinese, to collect intelligence everywhere near the military port, secretly draw detailed maps, and prepare for the war. Once the Chinese government allowed Japanese banks and business circles

In order to operate normally and travel freely in various cities in the mainland, as the Japanese have always done, taking the opportunity to send out various spies is a definite matter. Of course, this situation is also uncontrollable. In fact, it is not just Japan.

, any normal country would do this. If you think about it from another perspective, Fang Zida himself would never give up this good opportunity.

Business and politics seem to be two unrelated aspects, but they are inextricably linked in the dark. Not to mention the present in 1914, it is also the future of the 21st century. Countries around the world are doing something in the name of business.

How can there be too many ulterior secrets? We all know in our hearts that we can’t just shut ourselves up because of choking, right? At most, they tacitly agree with each other and shake hands warmly on the surface. It’s as if they are wearing the same pants, but secretly they are just taking strict precautions.

The outbreak of the World War was an opportunity for China. The country's current foundation is far better than the poverty in history after the Anti-Japanese War. The government of the Republic of China that succeeded the Manchu Qing Dynasty has not yet reached the point where warlords are fighting and the central government is out of control. On the contrary, because Song Jiaoren took charge of

After the Prime Minister formed the cabinet, China was working hard to move towards constitutionalism. Coupled with Yuan Shikai's support, everything in the country was changing for the better. After the second revolutionary rebellion subsided, the Bailang Army was annihilated, the National Defense Force was reorganized, and the subsequent Qing*

The island incident and so on have established the authority of the central government time and time again. The national government has now begun to separate the military from civilian affairs. According to the gradual improvement of the Constitution, criminal law, commercial law, civil law and other laws, as long as it does not take the wrong detour, China will once again

Rise is inevitable.

Perhaps, when the world war comes to an end, with the development of the country's national strength, it will no longer have to fear its evil neighbor Japan. Compared with Japan during the Anti-Japanese War, Japan today is not as arrogant as it will be more than 20 years later. Although Japan

It successively won the Sino-Japanese Sino-Japanese War (called the Sino-Japanese War) and the Russo-Japanese War, establishing its own position in the Far East and the world. However, Japan is still a second-rate country, not much better than China.

Go. From the perspective of Western countries, Japan’s military, except for their navy, which is somewhat capable, is weak as a whole, and its weapons and equipment are extremely poor. Although the training of its soldiers is unsatisfactory, its tactics are rigid and stiff. Compared with the established powers of various countries,

It's just a second- to third-rate thing.

The current Emperor of Japan is not the Showa Emperor Hirohito who tried to swallow the elephant with a snake. Instead, he is Hirohito’s father, the famous meningitis patient in history and a mentally retarded young man who is famous for the telescope incident.

-Emperor Taisho. Generally speaking, Japan in the Taisho era was a relatively chaotic era. Except for a few madmen, Japan did not have the militaristic fanaticism of the Showa period. The overall attitude towards China tended to be moderate, and many matters were temporarily put on hold.

Deal with it through political means. In addition, Japan's army is not strong now, and their confidence in facing the huge China is far less than it was later. This is also the reason why China and Germany have lost the ability to annex Qingdao since the Qing*dao incident.

*Island reason is the main reason for the Japanese government's hesitation. However, this hesitation has its limits. Once the Japanese feel confident that day, they will definitely take a risk. Fang Zida's main idea now is to do it no matter what.

The Japanese cannot be given this opportunity. As long as it takes a few years, China, which has gained strength, can openly say "no" to Japan!

Jiang Zhiqing now serves as a director of the Internal Audit Department of the Central Bank, while He Yingqin was assigned to work in the Research Bureau. In total, it has been almost a month since they started working. After seeing off Ichiro Fujita, Fang Zida, who returned to the office, decided

It's time to find something else for them to do.

In a small conference room some distance away from the CEO's office, Fang Zida specially summoned Jiang Zhiqing here. After waiting for a short time, Jiang Zhiqing came. Although he pushed the door and entered, although he was not wearing a military uniform, he looked very handsome in his behavior and actions.

Looking up, you can still see the military style he brought when he studied at the Japanese Military Academy.

"President!"

"Rui Yuan is here? Come on, sit here." Fang Zida greeted him pleasantly, pointing to the boiled water that had been poured long ago: "I know you don't drink tea, so I asked someone to prepare boiled water for you."

"Thank you, President!"

Jiang Zhiqing nodded and sat down. He did not go to get the water glass, but looked intently at Fang Zida who was sitting opposite.

"It's been a while since I've been working at the Central Bank. Are you still used to it? Are there any difficulties?" Fang Zida took a puff of his cigar and asked with a smile.

"Thank you, CEO, for your concern. The work of the Internal Audit Department is not complicated, and Zhiqing can still do it." Jiang Zhiqing replied in a neither arrogant nor humble manner.

Nodding, Fang Zida said casually: "You should have met Wang Jixin, right? Have you had any contact recently?"

"Zhiqing and Wang Jixin are just acquaintances. We don't have much friendship and can't talk about any contact." Jiang Zhiqing said it perfectly, but his heart beat a few times, secretly guessing that Fang Zida suddenly found him.

Is the real purpose of coming as he originally guessed?

"Oh, I don't know that. I just thought that when you both worked under Sun Wen of Japan, we might have a friendship, haha." Fang Zida smiled mockingly, and then said to himself: "Actually, Wang Jixin He is also a talented person. If he can put his mind to the right place, he will be a good hand in handling political affairs in the future. Especially his writing is good and he is also quite talented in copywriting work, Ruiyuan, don't you think so?"

Jiang Zhiqing was stunned for a moment, then nodded hesitantly and said, "What the president said is right. Wang Jixin had a reputation for talent when he was young, and he was known for his outstanding writing skills within the revolutionary party. Otherwise, Sun Wen would not have specifically chosen him as secretary-general. He is really good at copywriting work. President, you arranged for him to be really knowledgeable and good at assigning people in the office."

"Yeah..." Fang Zida nodded and said, "It's a pity that such a person who makes pens actually wants to make guns. Ruiyuan, don't you think it's strange?"

Jiang Zhiqing's heart skipped a beat, and he frowned slightly. He didn't answer Fang Zida's words, but just sat there quietly.

Fang Zida did not ask further questions, but sighed again: "Speaking of which, Wang Jixin, He Jingzhi and Ruiyuan, the three of you turned out to be from KMT. Later, you went astray and followed Sun Wen and took a detour. Fortunately, Now we have finally returned to the right path through different paths. Wang Jixin is just a scholar. It stands to reason that most people who use pens cannot use guns well. But for some reasons, I agreed to them, so Wang Jixin had to do it reluctantly. As for Ruiyuan, you and He Jingzhi is different from Wang Jixin. You both have a background as a gunman and have received formal military education. You are much better than Wang Jixin. So... I want to send one of you to help Wang Jixin and use Ruiyuan's power. See, who is suitable between you and Jingzhi?"

Jiang Zhiqing almost blurted out, "I am suitable!" But his rationality allowed him to suppress this thought. Jiang Zhiqing had not been fooling around in the Central Bank these days. When he accidentally discovered that Wang Zhaoming was also When he returned to China and was still working at the Central Bank, although he remained calm on the surface, he secretly inquired about information. Over the past few days, he also figured out the ins and outs of the matter. It turned out that Wang Zhaoming ran away after he could not survive in Japan. He came back to join his sworn brother Yuan Keding, Prince Yuan, and then got such a lucrative job in the Central Bank.

Not only that, it is said that Yuan Keding and Fang Zida had privately agreed to establish a guard force under the Central Bank, and Wang Zhaoming, his brother, was the person in charge appointed by Yuan Keding. After spending many days at the Central Bank, Jiang Zhiqing certainly knew the power and power of the central bank. How great is the financial power? In other words, Fang Zida's central bank now has almost the same power as the government's Ministry of Finance. In some respects, it is even more powerful than the Ministry of Finance. As for financial power, the central bank has the country's only currency issuance. , casting rights, as well as supervision and approval], the right to review the business of state-owned and private banks, banks, and foreign exchange exchange of currencies of various countries, not to mention that its subordinates also have manufacturing bureaus, ironworks, ship investment bureaus, ordnance factories, etc. Such entities, in the Republic of China, if they were second in financial resources, no one dared to say that they were first. If such an organization wants to establish a guard force, it must not be underestimated.
