Beiyang reactionaries

Originally, after Dai Kan and Wang Yongjiang finished talking, it should be Yang Yongtai who spoke.

But Yang Yongtai remained silent, so Yan Huiqing below spoke.Yan Huiqing was born as the Minister of Foreign Affairs, and he has a good international vision.What is considered is diplomatic matters.

From a diplomatic perspective, China now needs stability.There should not be too many conflicts with the great powers, especially with neighboring countries.

The collapse of the Japanese economy will affect the situation in the Far East.

"kindness."

There are more cabinet members.

But there are also more deputy prime ministers.The current situation is a situation of one principal and five deputies, so there is also a prime minister's office meeting above the cabinet committee meeting.

In fact, it is another way of centralizing power.

When the cabinet committee meetings are not held regularly, the prime minister's office meeting will replace the cabinet committee meetings to decide many things.So even if there is a cabinet committee meeting, the opinions of several deputy prime ministers can almost determine the decision of the cabinet committee.Now that Dai Kan, Wang Yongjiang, and Yan Huiqing, the vice-premiers all support increasing Japanese imports, the tone has been set.

Others also stated that in order to stabilize the relationship between China and Japan, and to avoid too much impact on China's imports and exports, China should increase imports.

"How should imports be made? Then which aspect of imports should be increased? Premier Liang, tell me."

"Yes."

Liang Huankui should express his position, and rarely speak when he should not express his position.He basically talked about economic matters, or should I say industrial matters.

Now when it comes to the issue of imports, Liang Huankui immediately said: "Since the cabinet decided to increase the base money supply, large sums of money have flowed into banks and into the society, and there has been a construction boom across the country. Therefore, judging from the current situation, we are not worried about digesting our own money. Now we are short of a lot of things for a while. Let me list it. At present, we lack enough cement, glass, cables, and paint for urban expansion. These can only be imported from Japan. Because only Japan can solve the urgent needs. Including light industry The field suddenly needs a large number of machine tools, and only Japan can solve it. It takes too long to import these things from European and American countries, and the current problem cannot be solved in a short time."

What is the result of flooding.

The result is artificially created markets and artificially created prosperity.

The same applies to light industry.All of a sudden the country increases the monetary base, and the result is a staggering increase in the money supply in society.The sequelae of this situation are serious.

But for a while, it has a great role in promoting economic prosperity.

So the national industry is also very active at this time.After all, it was very difficult to get a loan in the past, but after the government released the water, it was very easy to get a loan.

With the flow of funds, business prospers a lot.

However, because the release of water was too sudden, many other industries could not keep up.For example, a large city expansion requires a large amount of steel, cement, glass, cables, paint, etc., but the demand for these things suddenly increases, and the domestic supply cannot be met.The only country that can supply large quantities in a short period of time is Japan.

So imports can be increased in this regard.

"But these imports are only temporary. That is to say, they will last for more than one year, and will not exceed two years at most. Because we can fully make up for these deficiencies during this period."

"One or two years is enough."

By 1933, although the economic crisis had not completely passed, the world economy had begun to pick up a lot.Import and export volume began to rise.

"However, Prime Minister, our import of these products is far from meeting Japan's needs."

Liang Huankui reminded Duan Xun.

"The collapse of Japan's raw silk industry has reduced their exports by at least [-] million yuan. Coupled with the collapse of other export goods, Japan's exports have decreased by more than [-] million yuan this year. And this situation is intensifying. Therefore, for Japan at present, it is necessary Some orders that can really improve their country's import and export trade. And those that can affect a large number of industrial chains."

"kindness."

Duan Xun nodded.

Takahashi came to China in person, so he needed a big order.Rather than for some small orders, because Japan now needs a large order, a large order that can boost Japanese industry.

For example, importing things for a temporary emergency cannot solve the situation in Japan at all.And China's national capital is not idle.Nowadays, urban construction requires large quantities of cement, glass, and cables, so the industry in this area will definitely develop accordingly.As they release their production, there will be less demand for Japanese imports.

"Big order, big order."

"Prime Minister, as Premier Liang said just now, when it comes to industrial technology, Japan is not many ahead of our country. After the second five-year plan, Japan is even inferior to our country in many aspects. Since Japan has something to ask for We, hope we give them a big order, then we give them a big order."

Song Hanzhang, the Minister of Commerce who was relatively late, spoke.

industry?

In total, China has begun to far surpass Japan.In some technical fields, China has also surpassed Japan.For example, in the chemical industry, with China's large investment, China's chemical industry has developed rapidly, and its technological capabilities have begun to surpass Japan.

And China's nascent auto industry.

Japan also wants to develop the auto industry.Because the automobile industry plays an important role in the industry, Japan does not want to import cars all the time.But their technical ability is poor, independent production of automobiles has little success, and the products they produce are also poor.Therefore, in the past two years, tens of thousands of cars have been imported from China every year.

It can be said that Japan is slowly lagging behind China industrially.After all, Japan is a late-developing country. Its technical reserves are not much stronger than China, and it is much worse than European and American countries.

Song Hanzhang continued: "Prime Minister, at present, the shipbuilding industry is the most lagging behind Japan. And we are far behind Japan in this respect. We must rely on the support of other naval powers for a period of time in the future. Japan wants big orders. , we should find a way from here.”

"You said."

"Prime Minister, this is divided into civilian and military use."

537

"Divided into civilian and military use."

"It's okay, say it boldly."

Seeing Song Hanzhang hesitate, Duan Xun smiled and asked Song Hanzhang to speak.Because Duan Xun understood Song Hanzhang's hesitation.Song Hanzhang nodded and said: "Prime Minister, I believe the military department has its own ideas and plans for how to develop our navy. I am the minister of the Ministry of Commerce, and I have no right to dictate the affairs of the military department. But I still want to say, now It is a good opportunity, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Since Japan wants something from us, then I think we can put forward some conditions in this regard.”

Song Hanzhang can't say much about the military.

Because Duan Xun was born as a warlord, since he came to Beijing in 1920, he has been concurrently serving as the Minister of Military Affairs.Duan Xun can give up other rights, but the army has always been firmly in his own hands.No other cabinet member dared to interfere in the transfer of personnel within the army.Because the army is Duan Xun's life.

Not just the military.

Duan Xun is also firmly in his own hands, including institutions that are half military and half civilian like the Construction Corps.Duan Xun is also in the hands of the main personnel appointments of several large-scale corps of the Construction Corps, such as the Northeast Construction Corps and Xinjiang Construction Corps.The commanders of the construction corps appointed are also his closest descendants.Either his staff team went out, or his former students.

Therefore, whether it is about the affairs of the Ministry of Military Affairs or the Construction Corps, even Dai Kan and the others don't talk much.What's more, Song Hanzhang is not even a cabinet member, but a minister of the Ministry of Commerce.Therefore, regarding the affairs of the Ministry of Military Affairs, Song Hanzhang only made a point, and did not dare to express his position in depth.

Duan Xun nodded slightly.

I can tell Song Hanzhang that I know what he means.

The navy does not develop in just a few words, so there is the saying of a century-old navy.Without usual training, the navy cannot develop.In the past two years, Duan Xun has continuously eliminated the old warships of the navy, but has not purchased new warships for them, which has caused the Chinese navy to be basically empty now.This will greatly affect the development of the navy.

It should buy some new warships for the navy.

At present, China graduates a large number of naval school students every year. If they do not receive training, they will be useless in a few years.They should have enough warships for them to practice on.

Things are really going well now.

Since the government has decided to release a lot of water, it should also spend some on military expenditures.What Song Hanzhang meant was that China could order some warships from Japan.

This is a suggestion to consider.
