New Warlords 1909

"I don't care about that coach, as long as I play better than you, you just let me participate in the game!"

Zhang Dazao saw that this shooting is also simple, but he doesn't understand how such a thing is good for competition!Isn't it just to shoot in circles with a gun, and hit the center of all circles.What's the difference between this and his shooting the eyes of prey with guns and arrows?Their prey is still moving, and some are even dangerous to attack!

Zhang Dazao played with the gun handed over by the little coach indifferently, and after getting familiar with the operation, he couldn't put it down even more.This is much more advanced than his parents' most precious single-shot breech-loading gun, and it can even fire in bursts!

After a trial shot, Zhang Dazao neither had a professional posture nor carefully calibrated the front sight.Raise your hand and aim at the target, and shoot ten shots in quick succession.Its speed is so fast, the little coach who saw it couldn't believe that he was a novice playing this kind of gun for the first time.But such a speed is nothing unusual, even the little coach can beat him.But what shocked the little coach, and even all the other selected players, was that the entire bull's-eye was densely packed, it seemed... It seemed that he had hit all the bullets on the bull's-eye!How can this be?

This is impossible!After hearing the results of the ninety rings, the little coach ran over to take down the targets and counted them one by one.What made him desperate was that there were indeed ten bullet holes, and all of them were near the boundary line between the ninth ring and the tenth ring.But what made the little coach even more astonished was that when Zhang Dazao looked at his 'masterpiece', he was very strange and dissatisfied, "How is it possible, I missed all of them!"

This is also called all misses?The people who heard this almost spurted blood and fell down.After the little coach reacted, he grabbed Zhang Dazao's hand and refused to let go, and went directly to the Supreme Sports Referee Group.You also participate in track and field, come to our shooting team, let you go to France to participate in the Olympic Games, and it is possible to win a gold medal.

However, time flies, and the Olympic delegation finally left Shanghai for Paris on a large French cruise ship carrying a large number of British and Americans under Hua Fei's personal farewell.This team of 120 four athletes plus team leaders, a total of 160 people, has been screened vigorously across the country. It can be described as China's grand attack for the first time to participate in the Olympic Games.However, Hua Fei didn't have too much expectation for this Olympic Games, after all, these people have not received much training, let alone competition experience.It's just that the Olympic Games in this era are different from the later generations. There are still very few professional athletes, and most of them are mainly amateurs. This makes the possibility of China winning the gold medal not completely hopeless!

Originally, Hua Fei was invited by France, the United Kingdom, Germany and other countries. After attending the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, he continued to sign the Dawes Project negotiation agreement in London.But firstly, the country is still in a state of war. Going abroad at this time obviously has to face great risks and unpredictability.If there is any unexpected situation in the country, even if you want to rush back, it will be too late in time.

Second, the Nanjing Provisional Government has been established for a few years. The general election schedule that was originally launched in 23 years is almost two years away. If you don’t hold general elections, do you want the temporary central government to become a permanent central government?Especially this year's severe financial crisis, coupled with the delay in the war in Taiwan, although it has been temporarily dealt with temporarily, it has made the more and more excited Liberal Party members call for a general election more and more urgently. The pressure is unprecedented!

Hua Fei is not worried about the general election.Although it has encountered a serious financial crisis, although the war in Taiwan has been delayed.But through this financial crisis, the government continued to maintain the continuation of the previous policy of promoting business and promoting agriculture, but it has received huge support from a large number of small, medium and even large capitalist businessmen, which is a huge source of votes.

And as the Olympic audition proceeded, although many people denounced it as a farce.But an irrefutable fact is that in this seemingly farce, countless people walked happily along the way, and at the same time, they are very happy with the central government of Nanjing, especially those people who were unfamiliar with Huafei before. I have a preliminary understanding of the people-friendly image of Hua Fei and the Nanjing central government. The distance between the government and the people is no longer as far away as it used to be.

313 Strategic Fog

The Olympic delegation has left Shanghai.But Hua Fei did not relax because of this.It can even be said that since the Sanhe Rebellion these years, such a continuous busy first half of this year is really rare.On the way, Ingrid Harman came back from the United States once, but Hua Fei didn't even have time to make out with her except for a quick meeting.

The reason why Harman let go of a lot of affairs in the United States and returned to China is because of their daughter Huajuan.Poor little Huajuan is now six years old, but in her young blank memory, the number of times she has seen her father will never exceed six times, and the most time is definitely not six days.

Later, Harman went to the United States to help Hua Fei manage his business in the United States, leaving Hua Juan alone in her hometown.Although everyone in the Hua family regards Xiao Huajuan as a princess, but for Huajuan, she has gradually become sensible.Her child-like heart has been inexplicably lonely, because even the children of the servants in the house can enjoy the care and tenderness of their parents all day long.But even though Hua's family took good care of her inside and out, Hua Juan still thinks that she is like an orphan abandoned by her parents.

I don't know if it's a psychological factor.Still due to physical reasons, after a cold and fever, Xiao Huajuan continued to have a high fever and talked nonsense.This scared the entire Hua family to death.Butler Liu, who was staggering a bit, was startled. You said that the only young master of the Hua family has been married for more than six years, and this is the only one who is the apple of his eye.In the unlikely event that something unexpected happens, even if all the people in the Washington House plead guilty with death, it may be difficult for them to face the deceased old man of the Hua family!

When Hua Fei received the telegram, he was fully dealing with the biggest financial crisis ever faced by the government.Although he was burning with anxiety, he finally canceled his decision to go back to his hometown, and just sent his personal guards to Sanhe to have a look.Hua Fei admits that as a father, and even as a husband, he is undoubtedly extremely incompetent.How could he not want to hug his wife and lie in the garden basking in the warm sun, playing and amusing with his lovely daughter.He also hoped, hoped to fall asleep with his wife in his arms, and watched his child sleep peacefully. His heart also longed for the simple happiness like countless ordinary people.It's just, it's just that he can't.He couldn't open his mouth to keep his wife from going to the United States, because the United States needed her too much.He couldn't take his children with him, because he had no fixed place to live, visited everywhere, and might even go to the battlefield at any time.He can certainly use the power, and I believe that even if he did, no one would say anything.But Hua Fei didn't do this, he understood that he couldn't!

in this way.As Huajuan's condition continued to fail to improve, Butler Liu couldn't calm down and sent a telegram directly to his wife in the United States.Harman immediately put down all the work at hand and rushed back to China.After Hua Juan's condition recovered, she took Hua Juan to the United States.She said that since a father cannot take good care of his daughter, let the mother take this responsibility.

After many years of marriage, Haman has never blushed with Hua Fei, let alone quarreled.Even though she is an American, in some respects, Hua Fei believes that his wife undoubtedly has all the excellent qualities of traditional Chinese women, and also has some characteristics of Western women, so that Hua Fei can't find any shortcomings.Even Steward Liu, who was the biggest objection at the beginning, later admired their wife in Washington.

But this time, because of something as trivial as the child's cold, Haman became angry.But she didn't say much, she just told Hua Fei that as a mother, she was worried about leaving her child alone at home without seeing her parents.so.She hopes that the child can be brought back to the United States so that it can be cared for.Harman said that no matter how busy she is at work, she will find time to go home every night and stay with her daughter, so that she can feel that at least her mother is by her side.

Hua Fei and Haman have been married for so many years, and he has never seen Haman talk to him like this.But even so, Haman still did not express her complaints, and even her request that her daughter stay with her was very tactful.Hua Fei understood that with Harman's character, she was able to achieve such a step, which was already very tolerant and tolerant.The reason why she did this was not because of Hua Fei's power and the position of the President, but because of her loyal and unyielding love for Hua Fei.Although this love is definitely not the first in Hua Fei's mind, but for Harman, it is all about her.

Hua Fei personally sent Haman's mother and daughter to the passenger ship. Hua Juan, who was already very sensible, spent only a few hours with Hua Fei, but when she learned that she was going to the distant United States, she still tried to stay and confronted Hua Fei. Hua Fei wailed loudly.The little girl has subconsciously understood where is her hometown.

Hua Fei could hardly control the tears in his eyes, but he knew very well that it might be better for Hua Juan to stay with her mother than to stay in her hometown in Sanhe.At least, mother will be by her side every day.

The emotion of parting did not disturb Hua Fei for too long, not because he was cold-blooded and ruthless, not because he had no feelings for his wife and daughter.on the contrary.Only he himself knows how deep his love for Haman and Huajuan is.And unlike many other families, Hua Fei has a lot of unspeakable guilt in his emotions.

However, Hua Fei had to choose, choose to give up.There is no best of both worlds, the best of both worlds is just a kind of balance, a kind of sacrificing the weight of one party, so as to increase the weight of the other party to seek an apparent balance.

The financial crisis of the central government in Nanjing seems to be resolved, but this is only a preliminary plan that works. If it cannot effectively curb fiscal expenditures and expand fiscal revenue, life will be even more difficult in the future.However, when Taiwan is at an impasse and the Northeast issue has been dragging on for a long time, military expenditure has become a rigid expenditure of fiscal expenditure, which is difficult to reduce.To expand fiscal revenue, it is necessary to increase domestic infrastructure investment and comprehensively stimulate the development of industrial and commercial enterprises, so as to create the possibility for subsequent increase in fiscal revenue.However, under the circumstances that military expenditures cannot be weakened, and finances are always in tight budgets, and even on the verge of bankruptcy, infrastructure expenditures are bound to be limited.This creates a deadlock that is difficult to resolve, for the leadership of the Nanjing Central Committee.It is undoubtedly a huge test.

Another more realistic problem is that, despite the rapid increase of domestic national capital in recent years, despite the strong competitiveness of foreign commodities.However, relying on the advantages of abundant resources and numerous labor forces, especially after the end of World War I, a large number of Chinese laborers who returned from Europe to aid Europe shortened the processing technology gap between China's manufacturing industry and foreign countries.Coupled with the close cooperation with Germany, the gap in technology in various industries is getting smaller and smaller.Over the past few years, domestic national capital has not only quickly seized the domestic market, but also started a comprehensive development of foreign markets.

But as the top priority of domestic heavy industry.However, the development of the arms industry has been seriously slowed down, and the production capacity is seriously overcapacitated.This was mainly due to the climax of the National Defense Forces' military expansion during World War I and even in the later period of World War I, which made the production capacity of the arms industry far exceed the actual domestic demand.Although these years, the National Defense Forces have fought small battles almost every year, but the intensity has dropped rapidly since the unification of Beiyang.Up to now, the severe restriction of military expenditure has caused the arms industry to suffer the worst winter since its inception.

However, Hua Fei has always maintained the operation of the arms industry, and even provided military subsidies. Even in the highest period, the excess capacity of the arms industry reached as much as [-]%.This is not only because Hua Fei knows the significance of the arms industry to national security, but also because it is easy to destroy these industries, but rebuilding them is definitely not a matter of overnight.More importantly, when the war of the century comes, this munitions production capacity may not be enough.

Just as Hua Fei and other high-level central officials held consecutive meetings, a national policy advice from an ordinary county-level official aroused great repercussions within the central government.In this letter, a county-level government official named Wang Jian criticized the current policy toward Japan in the national policy advice. Wang Jian believed that this strategic intention of the government was completely contrary to the strategic thinking of the classical strategic thinkers.The economic gap between China and Japan is small, but in terms of military affairs, especially the navy, the Sea of ​​Japan has the upper hand.

Even if China can finally defeat Japan through a long-term war of attrition, the ending must be a scene of mutual losses.Even if Japan is completely defeated, Japan really does not have much resource value for China, and it is impossible to obtain much war compensation.But for China, they not only waste their limited finances on foreign wars, but also slow down the development of the domestic industrial and commercial economy.At the same time, it also lost a lot of military, military, material and financial resources in the war with Japan.More importantly, the loss of the precious golden period of rapid development has greatly slowed down the growth rate of China's national power.

Although China and Japan have always had grievances and enmities, looking at all countries in the world, this kind of long-cherished wish with China is not the only ear of Japan.Why does the Nanjing Central Committee have to entangle with Japan endlessly, just like life and death enemies?Two dogs fight, play off.The process and outcome of the Sino-Japanese War, the happy ones are international financial bankers.Because only if there is a war, financial crisis is inevitable.That way they can lend money and it becomes a significant source of income for them.The reason why Nanjing had difficulty obtaining loans from Britain, France and other countries before was not only political factors, but also their lack of interest in such loans with limited profits.Their real purpose was to sit and evaluate the value. No one would have thought that the Chinese not only got loans from American banks, but the amount was far beyond their imagination.

Wang Yan talked a lot, but what attracted Hua Fei the most was his evaluation of Sino-Japanese relations and his clear understanding of the state and structure of the international economy.Especially his words, looking at the Nanjing government's policy towards Japan, it seems that there are too many personal emotional factors mixed in, far more than the consideration of national interests.The Nanjing Central Committee not only needs to learn how to solve problems militarily, but also needs to know how to negotiate, which is also a way to solve problems, and it is also a means of tactical confusion.

: I couldn't hold it anymore, I originally planned to rest for only 2 days, but this rest, it passed very quickly.You can see that I don't plan to take full attendance in April, because the plan for April is almost full until the end of the month, so...

Originally, there were a lot of things I wanted to chat with my brothers, but when I thought about it, man, I should not be too wordy.Don't say anything, I can't hold it anymore, brothers waiting in the group, I'm sorry, I'm going to sleep first.

314 The country sitting on the minecart

Hua Fei is actually very clear.There is not much time left for China, and even for the development of security and peace in the world.The entire golden period of development in the 20s will eventually plunge the world into unprecedented panic in an unprecedented crisis.At the same time, history has recognized that it was this unprecedented economic crisis that became one of the important causes of the outbreak of the Second World War.

Hua Fei's original idea was to contain Japan's development in all aspects, even at the expense of military means.But this kind of strategy is actually a double-edged sword. While hurting others, it also caused certain harm to oneself.The most obvious example is the serious financial crisis encountered by the central government in Nanjing this year. To some extent, it has nothing to do with the government's excessive investment in military affairs in recent years.

But just when Hua Fei did everything to avoid the recurrence of the Japanese army's large-scale invasion of China, he suddenly discovered that not only has history changed, but many histories may never happen again.Although there is no detailed economic and industrial data to compare the gap in comprehensive national strength between China and Japan, Hua Fei is already confident that even if there is still a gap between China and Japan, this gap must be very narrowed.

On the military side, especially the army, although the expansion of the army and the mechanical and motorized construction of the army are restricted by the financial budget, the current army strength is still relatively small.It has been able to form a strong military pressure on Japan.The most obvious example is that in today's Japanese government and even the army, voices of withdrawing troops from the Northeast are becoming more and more frequent.Many people believe that instead of wasting national power in the confrontation with China, it is better to look for development opportunities from the north (referring to Russia) or from the island countries in the Pacific Ocean.The emergence of such a large number of ideological trends may also be the basis for Wang Yan's proposal to use negotiations to release strategic confusion.

Although Hua Fei did not fully agree with Wang Jian's advice, many issues, especially the construction of the financial system and his views on Sino-Japanese relations, still caused Hua Fei to think deeply.Hua Fei had to admit that on the issue of dealing with Japan, he had indeed mixed too much personal emotion, which also made the various tactics too irrational.Perhaps this is also the root cause of the ups and downs, gains and losses on the China-Japan issue.

To some extent, one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers. In this narrow area, it is difficult to accommodate the rise of two great powers.But at the same time, when neither side can swallow the other in a short period of time, if they continue to fight, they will be hurt, and the wolf will only pick up the advantage.

Moreover, Hua Fei admired Wang Yan's strategy of strategic fog, which made Hua Fei's mind flash with inspiration.The reason why Japan attacked China was that it did not hesitate to fight China to the death.Although there are so-called dignity and 'shame culture' at work, the root cause of everything is nothing more than profit.The later famous saying, there are no permanent enemies, only permanent interests, also applies to this era, and applies to China and Japan.What if Japan discovered a resource-rich 'New World' in another area?What if the Japanese found that their navy was promising?If they can fully feel China's goodwill and strong force.Let them understand very clearly that there is no future in confronting China?What if the Japanese government and people understand that China and Japan will work together to dominate Asia?

Ideas were born and brewed in Hua Fei's mind.But at the same time, Wang Yan's short comments on financial construction also attracted Hua Fei's full attention.Hua Fei, who has lived in the United States for many years, will not be ignorant 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's hegemon for many years in one fell swoop, becoming one of the most eye-catching empires in the history of human civilization.

In the post-colonial era, the traditional mode of occupying land, sending troops, ruling colonies, and plundering colonies for raw material resources has begun to disintegrate in this era, and reached a climax of liberation after World War II.However, the essential behavior of plundering in the era of colonialism has never stopped. They put on numerous disguises, loans, aid, foreign capital, monopoly of core technology and other countless means, and continue to monopolize and control most of the world's wealth. technology and resources.Let most of the countries and people in the world remain essentially the same as the colonial era, and continue to create wealth for them.

However, Wang Jian's ideas about financial security and foreign resource strategies, which he unconsciously put forward, initially hit the gist of colonial economic control.Although Hua Fei currently has no intentions or plans for external expansion, at least one bottom line is that they must not control the colonial economy and plunder the country's productive wealth.

Without any suspense, Wang Yan was quickly summoned to Nanjing and had a secret conversation with Hua Fei.To Hua Fei's surprise, this young man who had attracted a lot of attention from the Cabinet Office hadn't even gone to college yet.And he has been familiar with ancient Chinese books since he was a child, and he still loves history. He has in-depth research and attainments in modern history and modern foreign development history, and has learned a lot from it.

After Hua Fei talked with Wang Yan all night, Wang Yan disappeared from Nanjing the next day.Only a few people know that this young, little-known little man has changed his face and assumed another identity, and is about to embark on the road of studying abroad.Hua Fei has great expectations for him, although Wang Yan is not very willing to leave his parents.But Hua Fei said, if you don't go to the great powers to see each other in person, how can you know yourself and the enemy, and win a hundred battles without danger?

Hua Fei hopes that Wang Yan can continue to enrich his knowledge abroad, not only to study abroad, but more importantly, to have an intuitive feeling for foreign customs, habits, systems, etc. very important.Don't say anything else.This young man can worry about the general situation of national security and put forward refreshing directions and viewpoints in an ordinary position. It would be a great waste to not focus on training such talents.However, Wang Jian's remonstrance is now widely known in the central government, so it is inevitable that it will not be known to outsiders in the end.So in order to protect Wang Yan's safety, Hua Fei finally decided to let Wang Yan go abroad to study under a pseudonym.

Since Wang Jian's advice and strategies were leaked due to negligence, Hua Fei simply followed his plan and gradually adopted changes in some policies.For example, newspapers controlled by Huafei, military newspapers, and government-owned newspapers have published comments on the new thinking of Japan, various talks with Japan, settlement of disputes, and development of mutual benefit and friendly development between the two countries. In a short period of time It's overwhelming.At the same time, many important officials of the Chinese government have expressed their views on relations with Japan at the important opportunity of the Olympic Games. is extremely disadvantageous.

The sudden change of attitude towards Japan by the central government in Nanjing not only stunned the opposition parties, but also left a lot of puzzled commentators among the people.But most agree that Nanking's severe financial crisis made the government unable to continue the war against Japan.So the current active show of favor is a kind of compromise.Or in the words of 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 sold out its national interests, Northeast China, and Taiwan in order to continue Nanjing's rule.This is a shameful and completely unacceptable surrender to the Japanese by the president known for his iron fist!

While seizing this opportunity, the opposition parties called on the people to join the camp against the government, and continued to exert strong pressure to urge the government to hold public elections as soon as possible to establish a legitimate government elected by the people in the true sense.The implication is that the current interim government has far exceeded the statutory time limit and is an illegal government.So you Huada President is also an illegal president.Your so-called new thinking about Japan.It has nothing to do with the Chinese government.

But soon, the title of Wang Jian's admonition book with a new perspective on Asia and new strategic thinking was quietly leaked out.Of course, it is not the whole article leaked, but a general meaning.The non-governmental newspapers quickly became hotly discussed. It turned out that the government suddenly changed its foreign policy and even its military strategy for no reason, but it was because of such a thing.

Current affairs commentary has always been a battleground for domestic critics, and this time is no exception.All the well-known critics were once again divided into two camps in the newspaper. You come and go, and your writing is very sharp.But the government, as usual, faded away from these debates.As for the sensitive issue in focus, abandoning the Northeast and Taiwan issues, the spokesperson of the Nanjing President's Office of China gave a short 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 the peaceful development of any situation.It's just that war can never be a means of resolving differences, so we are more eager to use negotiation means and peaceful methods to resolve the obstacles that lie between China and Japan.

This brief statement by the press spokesman of the President's Office has caused quite a bit of criticism.Critics believe that since it has decided to compromise with Japan, the issue should be resolved through peaceful negotiations.Then in the speech, you can't use strong words such as "absolutely will not wait" without leaving any room.Critics also sharply accused the Nanjing government of vacillating in foreign policy and lacking long-term planning and generalization.

Originally, these critics would not get a response from the government, but only the next day, someone from the Central Prime Minister's Office stood up and gave some explanations.There was a lot less toughness in the words, and a lot more euphemisms.

Not to mention the various reactions caused by this in China, but to say that the reaction of the Japanese government and even the military is not insignificant.Because while China is experiencing a fiscal crisis, Japan's economic situation is not much better.Just after the Great Kanto Earthquake, Japan's industry and economy suffered a huge blow.Moreover, Japan has not benefited from the successive wars with China over the years, and its economic development has been severely restricted.

It is also the development of an arms race. Although Japan has certain advantages in economy and industry, this is directly proportional to their investment.Moreover, Japan has stationed a large number of troops in the Northeast, which will undoubtedly increase their military expenditure a lot.And although Japan has an advantage in the navy.But the investment in maintaining and expanding such a powerful fleet is also staggering.This has greatly consumed Japan's limited financial resources and military expenditures, and the consumption of energy has reached an astonishing level.

This is also one of the important reasons why the National Defense Forces have been slow in naval construction, especially the construction of large surface warships, although military expenditures have continued to increase for many years.However, the Navy of the National Defense Forces took advantage of asymmetrical advantages such as submarines and aircraft. Although it could not compete with Japan, it could at least deal with it, so that it could not attack China's coastal cities and ports unscrupulously.

Compared with China, Japan is still facing a huge material supply crisis. Various daily necessities, even industrial raw materials, coal, oil and other materials needed for the burning of warships are unprecedentedly tight.As early as after the Great Kanto Earthquake, the Japanese government quickly implemented a material rationing system for the country.Until China suddenly changed its policy towards Japan, the Japanese government itself had huge differences on this issue.Therefore, it can be said that China's sudden compromise is exactly what Japan wants.
