Beiyang reactionaries

What is Duan Xun doing?

It is completely deterring oneself nakedly and telling oneself China's potential.Tell yourself that China can mobilize millions of troops, or even tens of millions of troops, anytime and anywhere.

Looking at Duan Xun, Ma Kelei suddenly felt that Duan Xun was a war lunatic.

But he is a very capable war lunatic.

There will be no more Opium Wars in the future, this is what Ma Kelei felt instantly.In the past, the British relied on thousands of troops to make the Chinese surrender.But now there are tens of millions, even tens of thousands, or even 10 people.Such a small number of troops coming to China will not work at all.

If you really want to defeat the Chinese army, you may have to mobilize hundreds of thousands of troops to China.But now that Britain wants to mobilize so many troops to fight in China, the logistics materials needed are a big problem.The British economy simply cannot afford such a large-scale war.

Many details of the Sino-Japanese War were disclosed.

Let many people understand that China took advantage of the Sino-Japanese war even because of the earthquake in Japan.But the strength of the Chinese army itself is also very good.How many cannons did the Chinese army use in the Northeast battlefield?

And the artillery battle at Wusongkou.

The coastal artillery of the Chinese army fought with the Japanese navy for half a day, and neither of them took advantage.

China China.

It's really not the China of the past.

"Sir, what do you think of me?"

"Prime Minister Duan, I think there are some historical issues that should not hinder our current relationship."

Ma Ke immediately avoided the important ones.

historical issues?

What the Chinese talk about most is the Opium War.Since this war, China has started a history of humiliation.Ma Kelei already understood that Duan Xun was a strong nationalist.

So I don't want to talk about the past.

Duan Xun smiled.

Then he said: "Sir, do you know? I usually like to read some German philosophical books, including books by Hegel and Marx. There are also philosophical thoughts in our country more than 2000 years ago. The relationship between yin and yang is actually human. There are two sides, and things have two sides. Since modern times, our country has suffered humiliation and brought great disasters to our people. But at the same time, the new ideas of Western countries have also awakened people of insight in our country. That is why the [-] Revolution came about , with the present Republic of China. In this respect, Britain is also our teacher. Not only was it our teacher before, but there are many things we need to learn in the future. Therefore, I have always advocated that historical issues must be resolved, but Not by force. We should look forward. In order to create a good future, we should sit down and talk about how to solve historical problems. Sir, what do you think?"

Ma Kelei nodded immediately.

"Prime Minister Duan, you are right. History is a thing of the past, and we should not be entangled by history. We have a better future, and it would be foolish to be entangled by history."

Ma Kelei already understood Duan Xun's meaning.

If you talk about it well, then you can talk about anything.If the talks are not good and there is a war, I am not afraid.Because you can mobilize 1000 million troops.

Ma Kelei is a veteran diplomat with rich experience.

Duan Xun understood what he meant.

"Sir, to be honest, our country lacks capital and technology in many aspects. Therefore, I welcome British businessmen to invest in China and welcome British products to enter our market. As long as they abide by our laws and do business legally in our country, we will It is very welcome and very supportive. Britain is the initiator of modern civilization in the world, so I am very willing to let students from our country study in the UK. Learn British politics, British economy, British technology. Even British history , British culture."

"Prime Minister Duan, I believe there is nothing wrong with this."

"Sir, as long as you and I have the sincerity to negotiate, then many issues can be discussed. As long as the UK can respect our country's sovereignty, history and culture, then I think many issues can be discussed slowly."

"Yes."

Mike nodded.

Because Ma Kelei already understood that when Duan Xun met with him today, he was setting up a bottom line for negotiation.

…………

After meeting Duan Xun, Ma Kelei thought more.

China's problems are too complex.

Duan Xun, the former "pro-Japanese faction", has risen, and now he has become a nationalist.Although it was just a simple conversation, Ma Kelei had already heard the great ambition from Duan Xun.

The so-called "China will never invade or colonize others" that Duan Xun said in public, Ma Kelei would not believe a word.

political figure?

If you say it, it's like farting.

Now that China is weak, say these words.What if China becomes stronger in the future?Will China still abide by what it says?

Mike doesn't believe it.

Because he has seen too many contradictory political speeches.

"Sir, you are back."

"kindness."

"Sir, how is Duan Xun?"

"Nothing. Saw an ambitious Chinese cabinet premier. By the way, is there any news?"

"Yes. When the Sir went to see Duan Xun, the Chinese government announced two big news, and now many places are digesting this news."

"Oh? What news."

Mack was taken aback.

I just went to see Duan Xun for a while, and the total time was only three hours.Could it be that something big happened in three hours.

"The Bank of China just announced that it will carry out a major rectification of the national government-run banks. Tianjin, Shandong, Zhili, Henan, Fengtian, and Jilin banks headed by the 'Northern Four Banks' merged into the China Savings Bank, becoming the three major Chinese government-controlled banks. One of the big commercial banks. The commercial shareholders of these banks have agreed to the proposal of the Bank of China, and the merger has entered a substantive stage. Currently, the assets of each bank are being counted, and the establishment of the savings bank will be completed within three months."

"The Chinese government is really ambitious."

Mark class reacted quickly.

There are many banks in China, and there are also many banks run by government-owned stocks.But because of poor government management, especially the Beiyang government and those local warlords regard these banks as their own cash machines.They don't understand the management of modern banks at all, they just think that banks are places where funds are gathered.As long as it can help the government raise funds.

As a result, many banks owed a lot of money.

In the field of commercial banking, foreign-funded banks and banks headed by the Jiangsu-Zhejiang Consortium are far behind in terms of operation.If it weren't for the fact that every place protects its own banks, foreign banks are not allowed to grab business.Otherwise, the banks of the Jiangsu-Zhejiang Consortium would have defeated them long ago.

In terms of business, these banks are really not good.

But then things started to change drastically.

Especially after Duan Xun took over Beijing, he made major changes to the Bank of China and the Bank of Communications of China. The Bank of China became the central bank and began to withdraw from the commercial field.

China Bank of Communications became a pure commercial bank.
