Hitler used this as an excuse to announce Germany's new "Defense Law".To carry out military expansion, the size of the army will be reduced to 50 in peacetime.This is a flagrant violation of the Treaty of Versailles.

It was also the first time that Hitler really tested the bottom line of Britain and France.

"What about the attitude of other countries?"

"Now they are still at the level of condemnation, mainly because the foreign ministers of various countries criticize Germany. And the three countries of the United Kingdom, France, and Italy have already started negotiations to discuss how to deal with Germany's decision."

"kindness."

Duan Xun shook his head and said, "Britain, France, and Italy won't react much. France changed their 'Military Service Law' because of the shortage of service-age personnel. The last war left them too much trauma, which caused great harm to France. The entire nation casts a shadow. France absolutely does not want to go to war. As long as Germany does not do too much and does not touch France's bottom line, France will definitely try to avoid war. Without the support of France, Britain has nothing to do with Germany. Hitler There shouldn’t be any problems with military expansion.”

"Yes. Prime Minister, more than 8000 German soldiers who were trained in Taiyuan recently have applied to leave the country. It should be to participate in Germany's military expansion."

German soldiers training in China is a very sensitive matter.

The Chinese government doesn't care how Germany trains and what the internal composition is. This is their business, and China will not interfere in the training of the German army.But the Chinese government must be clear about the number of German soldiers, and the German government must fully hand over the number of their entry to China.

China doesn't care what the German soldiers do.

China doesn't care who among them enters China.China doesn't care who among them leaves China.China only cares about the head, as many German soldiers enter the country as there are when they leave.Since 1933, the number of German soldiers trained in China has exceeded 3, adding up to more than 4000.

At the end of 1944, more than 4000 German soldiers had secretly returned home. In January 1935, more than 2000 German soldiers returned home.Now more than 8000 people have applied to leave the country, and they must all be participating in the upcoming military expansion.

"Never mind that. Any news?"

"Prime Minister, the news from the League of Nations. Regarding Germany's violation of the 'Treaty of Versailles', Britain and France urged the League of Nations to form an investigation team and conduct a special review. If Germany does not cooperate, economic sanctions will be imposed on Germany. The British and French representatives and Gu Weijun said, We hope that China will also participate in the economic sanctions against Germany."

"Ha ha."

Duan Xun smiled.

Disdainfully said: "The League of Nations is a fragmented organization. If you want to join, you can join it, and if you want to quit, you can withdraw. The United States is the founding country of the League of Nations, so it doesn't participate in the League of Nations. Germany joined the League of Nations, so it can be said that if you quit, you can withdraw. The biggest enemy of the League of Nations before was the Soviet Union. , but seeing the strength of the Soviet Union, they are eager to invite people. Why did they sanction Germany, and let us participate, which is a good idea. Tell Gu Weijun, delay as much as possible, and don’t give them an accurate answer. Prime Minister Wang, Germany’s What's the change in imports?"

"The imports of tungsten ore, manganese ore, antimony ore, tin ore, natural rubber, tung oil, pig bristles, and grain are all increasing. In particular, the imports of tungsten ore, bristle, tin ore, and manganese ore have increased a lot."

"It seems that Germany is preparing for war and producing a large number of military weapons."

Looking at these imported things, Duan Xun can judge what Hitler is going to do.During the economic crisis in the United States, the world economic situation was that the prices of industrial products were high, while the prices of raw materials and semi-processed products continued to fall.The price of products such as natural rubber has dropped by one-twentieth.In fact, that time was the best time for industrial development.

Such as the first five-year plan of the Soviet Union.

Although the Soviet Union is rich in resources, in the first five-year plan, many raw materials still needed to be imported.If the price of raw materials is too expensive, it will be very unfavorable to the Soviet Union's first five-year plan.But it is precisely because of the low price of raw materials that it has huge benefits for the Soviet Union's first five-year plan.

But after 1933, with the increase of world industrial output, the prices of world industrial products began to fall continuously.On the contrary, the prices of raw materials and semi-processed products are rising.

It's very simple.

The recovery of the world economy began in 1933, and the demand for raw materials increased greatly, leading to an increase in the price of raw materials.But Germany has no foreign exchange, so Hitler shouted that Germany is self-sufficient in raw materials.But Germany is not a country like the United States, the Soviet Union, or China after all. How can the country's small land area meet Germany's industrial needs.Half of the raw materials that German industry needs are imported.

China is the best.

Unlike other raw material countries that need money, China needs machinery and equipment, technology, and the support of German experts.So Germany and China can be regarded as what they need.

Germany imports a large amount of raw materials from China, and China again imports a large amount of machinery and equipment from Germany.In particular, precision instruments and large-scale infrastructure equipment are imported from Germany.

"Prime Minister Yan, about Germany..."

"Tap-tap-"

"Prime Minister, the Netherlands announced a new land policy in East India (Indonesia), and once again announced that Chinese and overseas Chinese are not allowed to own land."

"What do you think?"

No wind, no wave.

It has long been reported that the Dutch will introduce a "land policy" in Indonesia.After two months, the Dutch colonial government really introduced such a policy.

This is entirely aimed at Chinese and overseas Chinese, to limit their strong economic development.

Because after the economic crisis, the wealth of Chinese and overseas Chinese in Indonesia has increased exponentially, even to the point of appalling.Speaking of which, the economy of the Nanyang region is mainly based on agricultural products, and the exports are also the most elementary raw materials.A small number of mining industries, although Chinese and overseas Chinese are also involved.Including tin mines and gold mines in Indonesia, all are mined by Chinese businessmen.But Indonesia's most important resource, oil, is still controlled by British and American businessmen.

However, agricultural products, the most basic raw materials, are basically controlled by overseas Chinese.Not talking big, no one can compare to the Chinese when it comes to farming.As a farming nation, the Chinese are born with a natural talent for farming, which cannot be compared with Indonesian natives.

what's the result?

At present, the production of natural rubber, sugar cane, tea, coffee, tobacco, coconut, and cinchona in Indonesia is mostly controlled by Chinese landlords.Even many subtropical plants such as bananas, mangoes, and durians are grown far better by Chinese farms than by natives.In farming, the Chinese are really talented.

Of course it's not just these.

There is also business, processing and selling these things, which is also the skill of Chinese businessmen.Just look at some of the simplest processing plants.

At present, sugar factories in Asia are concentrated in mainland China, Hong Kong, and Indonesia.The main raw materials for sugar factories in mainland China and Hong Kong come from domestic sucrose.

Indonesia's sugar factories are all made from local materials, all of which are Indonesia's own sugar gardens.Indonesian Chinese landlords control 90% of Indonesia's sugar gardens, and Chinese businessmen control 90% of Indonesia's sugar factories.

The same goes for natural rubber.The natural rubber plantations are controlled by Chinese, and the initial processing plants of natural rubber are also controlled by Chinese businessmen.There are also products such as pineapple, which are planted under the control of Chinese landlords.The canneries that turn them into cans are all factories of Chinese businessmen.And these things are the most sold things in Nanyang, and they are all taken by Chinese businessmen.

Originally, in the Nanyang economy, the Chinese became more and more powerful.After the economic crisis, the strength of the Nanyang Chinese landlords and Nanyang Chinese businessmen has reached an appalling height.Even some industries have been monopolized by Chinese landlords and businessmen.

Moreover, not only these economic crops are controlled by Chinese and overseas Chinese, but even more than half of the food planted in Nanyang is taken over by Chinese landlords.At present, the main grain-producing countries in Nanyang are Thailand, Vietnam, and Myanmar, and a large amount of cultivated land is in the hands of Chinese landlords.

It can't be stopped.

It is really because, compared with those aboriginal Chinese, the farming talent is too strong.At present, farming in the Nanyang region is still very rough, and the aborigines don't pay much attention to the technology of farming, so the output is very low.The arable land in many places in Nanyang has an annual grain output of only [-] to [-] catties, and rarely more than [-] catties.Compared with mainland China, where high-yield crops are planted, the average yield per mu can even reach [-] catties.Like the black land in Heilongjiang, a large number of high-yielding crops are planted, and a small amount of chemical fertilizers are used. In some places, the yield per mu is even eight or nine hundred catties.It can be said that compared with the aborigines in Nanyang, the Chinese have already understood how to cultivate deeply and how to increase production.

Of course, deep plowing of the land requires far more manpower than rough planting.But the Chinese are very hardworking, and they are very willing to contribute more to increase food production.

The result is the same land for everyone, after a few years the Chinese earn far more than the aborigines.After having money, the Chinese continue to open up wasteland, or buy other people's arable land.Step by step to become a landlord.Many Chinese farmers in Nanyang rely on diligent hands to continuously expand their arable land.After a few generations of hard work, you can become a landlord with thousands of acres of land, or even thousands of acres of land.

After becoming landlords, the Chinese like to hire hardworking Chinese to work.They will hire a large number of Chinese from their hometown to help them farm.In addition, the Chinese government encouraged them to go south to make a living, so the number of Chinese in Nanyang increased by more than 800 million in the past ten years.At present, the number of overseas Chinese in Nanyang has reached about 1700 million, while the current population of Southeast Asia is only 5000 million.

In other words, the number of Chinese and overseas Chinese in Nanyang is more than one-tenth of the population of Nanyang.And after this economic crisis, there are more and more Chinese landlords, who own more and more land, and they introduce more Chinese people from China to work.This violated the interests of the colonists, and even the interests of the local aborigines.

That's why there is a policy like the Netherlands.Because in Indonesia, overseas Chinese are no longer a minority.The population of the Dutch East Indies is currently around 6000 million, while the number of overseas Chinese has reached tens of millions.

If the development of Chinese and overseas Chinese is not suppressed, all Chinese and overseas Chinese can become the main ethnic group in Indonesia.In particular, Kalimantan and Sumatra have a very high proportion of Chinese and overseas Chinese populations, and half of the local population are Chinese and overseas Chinese.The Dutch colonists were very afraid of the survival and development ability of overseas Chinese.

"Prime Minister, if something like this happens at this time, we cannot stand back."

Yan Huiqing frowned and spoke.

Damn Dutch?

Doing this kind of thing suddenly breaks China's original steps and plans.Yan Huiqing is very supportive of what Duan Xun is going to do in the third five-year plan, especially solving the Hong Kong issue, the Macau issue, and solving the problems left over from the Sino-French war.Yan Huiqing, as the deputy prime minister in charge of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, has been steadily advancing these three matters.

There is even a schedule already in place.

At the end of this year, negotiations with Portugal began, and the weakest Portugal was won first.It is precisely for these reasons that Duan Xun decided to publish the data of the second five-year plan to tell those big powers that China is no longer the China that was bullied by others.But it was at this time that Holland came out to make trouble.
