"So from a political point of view, it is of great benefit to us that Germany breaks through the 'Treaty of Versailles' and regains its strength before the European War. It will keep all European powers in Europe."

Duan Xun nodded slightly.

Politically speaking, the rise of Hitler is very beneficial to China.After the Republic of China, when did China develop the fastest? It was during the First World War.

When the First World War broke out, European countries, including Russia, did not have the energy to take care of the Far East, and even a large number of their forces withdrew from the Far East.Therefore, China has been given the most relaxed environment so that China can develop easily.That period was also the period when China's national capital developed most rapidly.

Although today's China is no longer the China of that time.

But the situation is the same.

Once Germany breaks the "Treaty of Versailles", with their industrial base, the strength of the army can quickly become stronger.As long as Germany is strong, there will be no peace in the whole of Europe.Because Germany is not an ordinary country, it is a top industrial power.In such a country, as long as the military industry starts to develop, it will immediately make the surrounding countries feel uneasy.

Britain, France, and the Soviet Union must guard against Germany.

As long as this is the case, they will have no extra energy to interfere in Asia.So what if Britain and France have colonies in Southeast Asia?As long as Germany rises, Britain and France will not be strong enough in Southeast Asia.

The rise of Germany is definitely a very good thing for China politically.Let China continue to expand its options.Including the pressure on the north side will also drop significantly.

"Do you all agree with this judgment? That is, Germany will definitely break through the restrictions of the 'Treaty of Versailles'?"

Duan Xun asked again.

Because all judgments are based on Germany breaking the "Treaty of Versailles."

"definitely is."

Dai Kan nodded and said: "Prime Minister, before Germany was defeated in the European War, they were a European power and a world industrial power. For such a country, the 'Treaty of Versailles' is a disgrace. Since the end of the European War, in the past ten years Among them, the German government has been unstable, and the German economy has also been unstable. Because the "Treaty of Versailles" restricted Germany militarily, discriminated against Germany politically, and hit Germany economically. How could Germany accept such a situation? The Nazi Party Its rise in Germany has a deep soil and a solid foundation of public opinion. It is the dissatisfaction of the German people with the "Treaty of Versailles" that pushed the Nazi Party, a nationalist party, to its current position. Now the Nazi Party is in power, and from them Judging from their behavior style, they are a group of parties that dare to take risks, and they do not compromise their means for their goals. From the beginning of the establishment of the Nazis, Hitler and the Nazi Party really dared to put all their eggs in one basket for the regime. Look at this time' Congress arson case', the Nazi Party really dared to do anything. Such a political party, they would never allow the shackles of the 'Treaty of Versailles' to restrict Germany's development. Therefore, it is inevitable for Germany to break through the 'Treaty of Versailles'."

"Well, that makes sense."

Duan Xun knows history.

Knowing the rise of the Nazi Party, knowing the rise of Hitler is inevitable.Moreover, the rise of Hitler will inevitably disrupt the situation in Europe.But Duan Xun will not say these words directly, listen to everyone's opinions, and finally reach a consensus.This is easier for everyone to accept.

"Politically, the rise of the Nazis is in our favor. What about the rest?"

"Prime Minister, from an economic point of view, the rise of the Nazi Party is also very beneficial to us."

Wang Yongjiang answered.

Dao: "If Germany wants to break through the 'Treaty of Versailles', one of the most important things is the army. Only with sufficient development of the army can they have the confidence to break through the 'Treaty of Versailles'. Therefore, after the Nazi Party came to power, it will inevitably vigorously develop the military industry This is also a good way to solve the serious unemployment problem in Germany at present, and can accommodate a large number of unemployed people. Since the outbreak of the economic crisis, the German economy has been hit hard, with industrial output falling by nearly half, and more than 800 million unemployed and semi-employed people. As a result, they China's imports and exports have also been hit hard, with the total volume of imports and exports falling by nearly 70%. However, as long as Germany starts to develop its military industry, their imports will inevitably increase again. China and Germany are complementary in import and export trade, and the two sides have always been Cooperation is also very good. That is to say, as long as Germany starts to develop military industry, our country's exports can increase again, and we can also import more good things from Germany. So from an economic point of view, the Nazi Party broke through the 'Treaty of Versailles' , and the development of their military industry will have a great positive impact on the trade between China and Germany."

"Look at the United States. The new President of the United States, Roosevelt, is different from the previous President Hoover. When he ran for the President of the United States, he put forward the 'New Economic Policy' of revitalizing the economy. Invest in large-scale construction to absorb the unemployed, and increase the market with government investment. Judging from his election platform, he may take the same measures as us. Once this is done, American industry will flourish again, and imports and exports will also increase again. To At that time, the U.S. imports of raw materials will greatly increase. For countries like my country that export raw materials, this is a good opportunity to boost exports."

"The changes in the United States and Germany are very beneficial to us economically. At present, my country's gold reserves have almost been consumed. Although the country has increased the mining of gold mines, the current annual gold production in my country is only about 32 tons , plus the gold mine in North Korea, is only 35 tons. It is far from meeting our needs. If the United States and Germany increase their imports from my country, they will be able to make up for the current serious shortage of foreign exchange in our country, and we can import more A lot of machinery is needed. So economically it’s a good thing.”

Wang Yongjiang is talking about the economy.

The Second Five-Year Plan has been going on for nearly four years. Without the loans from European and American banks, China would not be able to maintain the current situation of importing a large amount of machinery and equipment.

Originally, the plan formulated by Wang Yongjiang and the others was to borrow a total of about 13 billion US dollars with European and American financial institutions during the Second Five-Year Plan period, which would roughly meet the needs of the Second Five-Year Plan.But it is only April 1933, and China's gold reserves have long been exhausted.

Needless to say, the previous gold reserves, China’s total gold production and the Korean Peninsula’s gold production in the past few years since the Second Five-Year Plan added up to more than [-] tons, and more than [-] tons were collected from the private sector, are all spent now.

Really run out of money.

As a result, the amount of loans has been increasing, and up to now, loans from European and American financial institutions have exceeded 15 billion US dollars.But the problem is that the money is almost used up now.Going further, China has no foreign exchange to continue importing machinery and equipment.

In 1932, the total amount of machinery and equipment imported by China once again surpassed that in 1931, reaching a total of 17 billion US dollars.Among the global export of machinery and equipment, China imports more than 60%, becoming the world's largest buyer.The machinery and equipment imported by the Soviet Union at this time was only about 30% of that imported by China.

In three years, China imported machinery and equipment spent nearly 40 billion US dollars.It is one billion US dollars more than the total amount of machinery and equipment imported by the Soviet Union in the first five-year plan in history.

So Wang Yongjiang is really tired.

Wang Yongjiang, 62, is completely bald on the top of his head, with no hair visible at all.He is not young anymore, but as the general manager of China's economy, he can't rest at all.

I am very busy every day for foreign exchange.

Many raw materials exported are cheaper than domestic ones.Some would rather lose money and export, just to earn foreign exchange.Now that Germany and the United States want to change, which will stimulate China's exports, how could Wang Yongjiang be unhappy.

"So, Hitler becoming Chancellor of Germany and Roosevelt becoming President of the United States are both in our favor."

"Yes."

Duan Xun nodded.

Duan Xun affirmed everyone's judgment.Therefore, he said: "Since everyone believes that it is beneficial to us politically and economically, then we must make good use of this opportunity. In my name, send them a congratulatory message. Especially Hitler, show our respect Friendship, let Gu Weijun from the League of Nations go to meet Hitler in the name of the Prime Minister’s special envoy. Have a good talk, see how our two countries cooperate in the future, and fully demonstrate our sincerity.”

Hitler came at last.

Duan Xun has been waiting for Hitler to come to power.After Hitler came to power, he successively offended countries such as Britain, France, and the Soviet Union, and Germany also lacked foreign exchange.At present, only China can cooperate.

As for Hitler's racism, Duan Xun didn't care how he looked down on Eastern peoples.If everyone is beneficial, we will make peace, and when interests conflict, we will fight.

who is afraid of who.

Germany's machinery, chemical industry, and military industry are all well-known in the world.Cooperate well with Hitler, and within a few years China can make great progress in these areas.

"it is good."

"Oh, there is a response from Hitler so soon."

The Chinese side had just sent Gu Weijun to contact Hitler, and Hitler had a reaction, which took about half a month.Duan Xun was taken aback by Hitler's reaction.

On May 1933, 5, Duan Xun received a telegram from Berlin.After meeting with Hitler, Gu Weijun immediately telegraphed Hitler's proposal to Beijing.

"Yes."

Yan Huiqing is in charge of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Gu Weijun is from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and is currently the representative to the League of Nations.He contacted Hitler and conveyed Duan Xun's support for Hitler, as well as Duan Xun's desire to strengthen cooperation between China and Germany.This made Hitler very happy.But Hitler couldn't help it.

After the rise of the Internet, many people on the Internet said that Hitler looked up to the Chinese and was willing to support Chiang Kai-shek's government because he had received help from a Chinese couple.These are all nonsense street stall stories.Hitler was a racist, and he looked down on the other European nations who were white, so how could he treat yellow people differently.In Hitler's book, the contempt for Asian nations is nakedly displayed.

But Hitler looked down on Asian nations and despised Asian nations, which did not hinder his idea of ​​cooperating with China.

Not only does it not hinder cooperation, but Hitler himself is very interested in cooperating with China.This is because Germany is now surrounded by enemies, and there is really no one to cooperate with.Britain and France were Germany's greatest enemies in breaking through the "Treaty of Versailles", and they were also the two countries that gave Germany the greatest shame.At present, the two countries are very strict with Germany, suppressing Germany in all aspects of politics, military affairs and economy.Whatever Hitler wanted to do, he had to avoid Britain and France.

As for the United States and the Soviet Union, which cooperated with Germany a lot after World War I, each has its own problems now.Because of the economic crisis, the United States is currently too busy to take care of itself and has no time to talk to Germany.Moreover, the cooperation between the two parties in recent years is mainly economic cooperation.Germany needs the support of American capital to develop its own industry, but the cooperation between the two countries goes no further.For deeper cooperation, Germany does not trust the United States either.

In the Soviet Union, Hitler himself was worried.

Although there has been a lot of cooperation between the two parties before, the two parties even have military cooperation now.But Hitler and the Nazi Party were openly anti-communist.The Soviet Union was the first socialist country in the world, or the only socialist country in the world at present.It is also the center of the current world communist trend of thought.Especially the current Third International is backed by the Soviet Union.The Third International, supported by the Soviet Union, kept exporting revolutions and forming communist organizations around the world.The world economy has been bad these years, and the influence of the Soviet Union and the Third International has increased.They are also developing rapidly in Germany, seriously affecting the stability of Germany.Before Hitler solved the German Communist Party, the German Communist Party was the second largest party in Congress, and the influence of communism in Germany can be seen.

So the Nazi Party and the Soviet Union were completely opposite.Under such circumstances, although Hitler did not turn his face against the Soviet Union, he was deeply guarded against the Soviet Union.

The military cooperation between the two sides has fallen into a downturn after Hitler came to power, and is even on the verge of breaking down.This is Germany today.The relationship with the surrounding powers is not good, and it has to be monitored by Britain and France.So Hitler thought of China, which was thousands of miles away.Especially after Gu Weijun visited Hitler as Duan Xun's special envoy and expressed China's goodwill, Hitler was very happy after expressing Duan Xun's goodwill.
