Chapter five hundred and forty-six political aftermath

From the media perspective, this matter is over, but from the diplomatic and political perspective, it still leaves a little tail.

What is the reason? Japan plans to take it a little more and wants to get some benefits, but it is also trapped by the facts in China.

On the third day after the press conference of the Deputy Foreign Minister of China, the Japanese ambassador to China transferred a letter from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. In the document, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs clearly stated that China must cancel the exclusive distribution rights of China Future Metallurgical Group for rare earths, otherwise they will suspend aid to China, which is simply a naked economic threat.

Japan's aid to China began in 1979. This is a measure that Japan introduced after China rejected war reparations during World War II. Chen Kangjie remembers that from 1979 to 2009, the amount of Japan's aid to China was 3641.2 billion yen, which is actually equivalent to 35 billion US dollars. The media said it was 32 billion US dollars. No matter which it was, it was not a great number in Chen Kangjie's eyes.

Don’t think that the so-called aid is free. 90% of it is loans, but the interest rate is lower. Free aid and technical assistance only account for 10%, which is about 3.5 billion US dollars.

Because Japan provided this assistance, it had a good relationship with China in the 1980s and 1990s, allowing a large number of Japanese-funded enterprises to enter the huge market in the Far East. Even in 1993, advertisements from companies such as Panasonic, Toshiba, Sanyo were everywhere in China. In fact, the profits and benefits they earned from the Chinese market were far more than the aid they provided. So in Chen Kangjie's view, those aids were really too much for the Japanese. Among them, China has to bear the risk of the appreciation of the yen. If China borrowed 100 billion yen from Japan in 1985, it was a ten-year loan and returned in 1995, even if the interest was left aside, it would actually be equivalent to repaying 300 billion yen when repaying the loan, because the yen has risen from 1:240 to 1:80 against the US dollar, which has appreciated by three times, and the purchasing power of the same amount of currency has completely changed greatly.

Therefore, China is also helping the Japanese take risks and lose money.

When the central giants saw this official letter, they all expressed their anger. This was simply treating themselves as beggars and completely disregarding their relations between the two countries.

In fact, the Japanese did not really want to use this to threaten China. They knew that this threat was useless and would achieve the opposite result, but the rulers really had no choice.

After Chen Kangjie's rebirth and intervention, the Japanese's economic situation worsened much more than the original history and directly reached negative growth. In such a difficult period, if the government still uses 100 billion yen per year to support other countries, the people will not accept it at all. The people will scold the incompetence and corruption of the rulers, which will seriously affect the ruling status of ***.

Since 1992, opposition parties such as the Socialist Party and the Democratic Socialist Party have become very active and won the support of the people. Therefore, in order to maintain their ruling position for 38 years, *** had to make this worst decision to please the people. This is a completely double-edged sword. While being able to please voters, it will also reduce points in diplomacy. When the two are taken lightly, *** still chose the most favorable side to them.

But what they didn't expect was that they did not escape the curse of history. In the election at the end of 1993, they still lost the election, lost their ruling status as before, and were defeated by several opposition alliances formed by small party members. Their defeat has a lot to do with the subsequent reaction of China.

"I don't think we can compromise. Once we compromise, wouldn't the previous work be done in vain? How could the great country of China be threatened and given by the Japanese?" Zhao Zhibang threw the official letter aside and expressed his opinion angrily.

"I also know that I can't compromise. This is not only about our prestige and dignity, but also about the project that the old leader tried hard to achieve, but I watched hundreds of billions of yen not." Wei Zhonghua took off his glasses and rubbed his tired nose.

Being the leader of a big country is not an easy task, especially in this turbulent and critical period, where all kinds of official duties are handled every day, Wei Zhonghua still feels a little tired, and China, which has been poor for hundreds of years, is very eager to develop itself every amount of money, especially for an aspiring big country leader.

"We must regain the Japanese from now on," another giant said angrily.

"That's the future, let's talk about the present first," Wei Zhonghua put his glasses on his nose and said in a deep voice.

"Hey, maybe someone can solve it." Zhao Zhibang suddenly thought of something.

"Who?" asked a giant in confusion.

Zhao Zhibang did not answer, but just gestured down with his hands, meaning that it was a child.

"I understand, you mean that little devil." Wei Zhonghua quickly understood what Zhao Zhibang meant.

"Yes," Zhao Zhibang nodded.

"That ghost smart might really have a way, haha, I'm ashamed. When we encounter money problems, we actually think of him. This guy is almost our God of Wealth, haha." Perhaps thinking of Chen Kangjie's cuteness and intelligence, Wei Zhonghua's mood became better and he became much more relaxed.

"How about I ask him." Zhao Zhibang asked tentatively.

"Old Wei, Lao Zhao, who are you talking about?" A giant's face was full of doubts.

"Haha, who else can it be? It's the guy who wrote "Story of Spring", Wei Zhonghua replied casually, and then said to Zhao Zhibang: "Okay, Comrade Zhibang, ask him, anyway, this matter is due to him, but let him have another burden, just help a little if you can, and forget it if you can, we already owe a lot of favors."

"Secretary, I understand," Zhao Zhibang replied with a decisive voice.

Undoubtedly, the person they are talking about is our classmate Chen Kangjie. He has so much money in his hands. Looking at the whole of China, there is no other person besides him.

When Zhao Zhibang called Chen Kangjie and tried it in a tactful manner, Chen Kangjie did not expect that Japan was so determined to do so in economic diplomacy. In the original history, even if China's total economic output exceeded the other party and reached the second place in the world, the other party did not completely stop aid, but only reduced to tens of millions of dollars a year. He did not think about it. All this was thanks to him, which caused serious social contradictions in Japan to intensify, resulting in a wonderful change in the political ecology.

"There is only a little money every year, and only you can like it." This is the first sentence Chen Kangjie said after hearing Zhao Zhibang's words.

"Grasshoppers are also meat," Zhao Zhibang's answer is also interesting.

"Okay, now I have to get some grasshopper meat off me, right?"

"If you can work harder, you can earn more from the other party in the future, right? Besides, even if you act, extras will have some expenses." Zhao Zhibang made a very appropriate metaphor.

"Okay, I understand. You are not extras, but official actors. The price will only be higher, right? Tell me, what is the size of the plan to be."

"What? You really treat this as a labor fee. You can do it. Just make up for Japan's aid to China."

"I can make up for it long ago. Just talking about so many donations to education is worth it."

"That's over. Besides, there is no such thing in advance, right?" At this time, Zhao Zhibang was not like a giant leader at all, but more like a cadre of a begging for alms.

"Haha, Uncle Zhao, I'm joking with you. Besides, how can I not support your work? You have spoken. Whether you steal or rob, I have to give you some money. You think this is good, the other party's aid is a low-interest loan. I'll donate a sum to the military R&D department. Two days ago, I heard that the development of the bomber encountered some obstacles and lacked funds. What do you think?" Chen Kangjie had long had this idea and took this opportunity to say it out.

Chen Kangjie learned about this situation from Wei Liang. When he left Hong Kong, Chen Kangjie promised to solve the problem of the business aircraft crew and handed it over to Ouyang Zhenhua.

The reason why Chen Kangjie dared to make a promise was to think of a solution from Wei Liang. As a senior executive of the Air Force, it would be easy to get two experienced pilots. Finally, Wei Liang recommended two fighter pilots with a flight time of thousands of hours to Chen Kangjie.

As the first project initiated and supported by Chen Kangjie, the development of strategic bombers has always been his concern, so he asked by the way. Wei Liang told him that he is now trapped in a critical node, and the problem lies in the engine. The design and manufacturing of the fuselage are no longer a big problem. The avionics system can also solve it with some time and funds. However, the engines required by the bomber are very different from those of the fighter, and it requires completely self-development, which is extremely costly and time. Moreover, even the engines of fighter jets cannot be produced by itself in China.

After Wei Liang said this, Chen Kangjie understood that he was facing financial difficulties. Under the current military supply, it was impossible to have sufficient financial guarantees.

Although Wei Liang did not explicitly say that he wanted Chen Kangjie to fund it, he was embarrassed to say it again, but Chen Kangjie really wanted to contribute to this.
