Beiyang reactionaries

In addition to European capital, Duan Xun is also targeting the capital of Chinese businessmen.Nanyang is in turmoil, and the Nanyang Chinese merchants have money in their hands.Especially during the economic crisis, these Chinese businessmen relied on the support of the domestic government to expand aggressively in the Nanyang region.When the world economy recovers, their wealth will increase exponentially.Channeling this money into the country will greatly promote the growth of the Chinese economy.

"We have been relying on monetary easing to stimulate the economy for several years. We need a sum of money to alleviate the sequelae. At present, the best way is to introduce external funds."

"Prime Minister, it is not a promise, but a fundamental solution. That still needs to be enacted."

Wang Yongjiang opened his mouth slowly.

Dao: "Promises, people will not believe it. And some policy documents are not very authoritative. Don't say that foreign businessmen will not believe it, even Chinese businessmen will not believe it. So there is only one best way, That is to formulate legal documents to protect the interests of Chinese and foreign businessmen. Giving them a guarantee at the legal level is the most fundamental solution.”

"What do you think?"

"Prime Minister, I agree with Premier Wang's statement. We should formulate a set of laws to protect the property safety of Chinese and foreign businessmen, so that they can invest their money in our country and store their money in our country with confidence."

Liang Huankui opened his mouth to support Wang Yongjiang.

legal.

Since the founding of the Republic of China, China has introduced a new legal document almost every month.Because a republic is a republic, although the current China still has not got rid of many old traditions.However, with the emergence of a new political system, new political relations and new economic relations are incompatible with the old laws, requiring the introduction of a large number of new legal documents.

Over the years, the government has been doing the work of popularizing the law, slowly establishing the majesty of the law.In order to establish the majesty of the law, Duan Xuncai separated the Supreme Court from the cabinet and made many "political shows" himself.

If you want to retain the capital of Chinese and foreign businessmen, and want to introduce more capital from Chinese and foreign businessmen, you must give a clear attitude from the legal level.

"Okay. Premier Dai (Dai Kan), you are personally responsible for communicating with the Legal Committee and the Congress on this matter. Premier Yan (Yan Huiqing), you ask the Ministry of Commerce to hold a discussion meeting with Chinese and foreign businessmen, and let the Chinese and foreign businessmen share all their Speak out your thoughts and provide more opinions on the laws that are about to be enacted."

"Yes."

"The sooner the better."

On January 1936, 1, after several months of negotiations, China and Portugal signed the "Sino-Portuguese Macau Agreement" in Beijing.

In 1935, the joint fleet of China and Japan annihilated the Dutch Far East Fleet, then occupied the islands of Sumatra and Java in the Dutch East Indies, and supported Sukarno to establish the Republic of Indonesia, which had a great impact on the world.Even Britain and France adopted a compromising attitude in the face of the actions of China and Japan in Nanyang.Force was not used just because China and Japan disrupted the original order in Nanyang.

On the contrary, Britain, France and the United States ultimately sacrificed the interests of the Netherlands in Nanyang to maintain the stability of Nanyang.

Britain and France are the hegemons of the world, and they are the two powerful countries that have built the current world order.Even in the face of China and Japan, they have adopted a compromising attitude in the Far East, not to mention other countries.

Especially countries like Portugal.

Portugal was also very powerful in the Age of Discovery, belonging to early imperialism.At its peak, it had colonies that were more than [-] times the size of the mainland.There are also a large number of colonies in South America, Africa, and Asia.

Unfortunately, times have changed.

It is no longer the era when Portugal is rampant in the world, and now Portugal has been reduced to a second-rate country in Europe, or even a third-rate country.If it weren't for Portugal's early years of running a large number of colonies in Africa, Portugal is not even popular in Europe now.The current Portuguese population adds up to only about 600 million people.

With their population size and their economic strength, it is not easy to run their colonies in Africa.

If you want to continue to exert your influence in the Far East, it is really a joke.Now that China is rising strongly, its industrial scale is expanding rapidly, and its industrial data can be compared with the old European imperialist countries such as Britain, France and Germany.Moreover, the first military operation that caused a sensation in the world was to cooperate with Japan to annihilate the Dutch Far East Fleet.How dare Portugal continue to provoke China at this time.

The Dutch Far East Fleet was on the verge of collapse in front of China and Japan, but Portugal's strength in the Far East was far inferior to that of the Dutch Far East Fleet.Therefore, in the negotiation between China and Portugal, Portugal can only make concessions.

Especially looking at the Chinese army sharpening their knives opposite Macau, Portugal did not dare to be tough.

Of course, Portugal is still a little arrogant, and put forward a lot of conditions.After several months of negotiations, China also took a step back.This includes recognizing the legal status of Portuguese citizens currently in Macau and issuing them a document acknowledging their legal rights.These people, like Chinese citizens, can live freely in Macau and do business freely in Macau.Of course, this is limited to one place in Macau, excluding other provinces in China.

When Portugal returned to Macau, it also returned the administrative agencies of the Portuguese government in Macau, all unconditionally.However, the property of Portuguese citizens is not confiscated in China, and the legality of their property is recognized.

This is the first retreat.

Mainly for Portuguese citizens who are currently living in Macau.It is to ensure that after the return of Macau, the normal life of the Portuguese living here will not be affected.

The second is about Portugal and other Portuguese colonies.Macau will serve as a special city, allowing Portugal, and the former Portuguese colonies, countries in the Portuguese cultural circle to enjoy many privileges that other countries do not have.If you enter and leave Macau, live in Macau, and do business in Macau, you can get many privileges.

At the same time, it also stipulates the language issue of Macao.The first language in Macau is of course the national language designated by the government.The second language is Portuguese.

China's request for Macau is simple.

Macau's administration, Macau's military, and Macau's diplomacy must all be under the control of the central government.The appointment of Macau government officials is also in the hands of the central government.

You can let go of a lot in other areas.

Because Macau is too small.

For China, one Macao will not affect anything at all.It is a very good idea to make Macau a special city and make it a bridge between China and the countries in the Portuguese cultural circle.

After these Chinese concessions, Portugal quickly signed the contract.With the signing of the "Sino-Portuguese Macau Agreement", Macau has completely returned to the hands of China.The Cabinet also achieved the first of the three objectives of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in the third five-year plan.

"Sir, news from Berlin."

British Embassy in China.

After entering 1936, the work of Alexander Cadogan, the British ambassador to China, did not ease up. On the contrary, he has been very busy recently.Since the compromise with China and Japan in Nanyang, Britain hopes that Nanyang can be stabilized, and China and Japan can be honest after receiving the benefits of Nanyang.But the effect is not good at all, Alexander Cadogan is very clear about this.

why.

Because he is in China, he can clearly feel the changes in China.

Britain has consulates in major Chinese cities and intelligence agencies everywhere.Although the British intelligence agencies in China are far inferior to the British intelligence agencies in European countries.But general information cannot be concealed from Britain.

In particular, China is currently actively expanding its military, and no one can hide this.

Because after the third five-year plan, the number of new recruits recruited by China suddenly became several times that of the original.Because many people don't know the difference between the Field Army and the Construction Corps.Moreover, both the Field Army and the Construction Corps recruited recruits in the name of recruiting, so the number of recruits increased dramatically.

Compared with the field army, the Construction Corps has the largest scale of military expansion.

Amazing.

Duan Xun's request was simple.At the end of the third five-year plan, the Construction Corps will have about 400 divisions.In the northern provinces of Xinjiang, Gansu, Shaanxi, Tangnu Wulianghai, Inner Mongolia, Outer Mongolia, and Heilongjiang, more than [-] million mu of cultivated land should be reclaimed to meet the military needs of these northern provinces.And the development of forestry, fishery, and animal husbandry requires a lot of manpower.

The scale of the Construction Corps is 400 divisions.

Dozens of divisions are added every year, and the number of recruits recruited is staggering.In addition, the field army is also expanding its army, which makes many people tremble with fear.This includes Alexander Cadogan, the British ambassador to China.

Looking at the speed of China's military expansion on such a scale, how could he not be shocked.

According to the census released by China in 1927, the population of China exceeded 7 million.Ten years later, the Chinese government is now conducting the second census. According to Alexander Cadogan's prediction, China's population will easily exceed 8 million, and may even reach [-] million.Such a population size is scary to think about.

Let's talk about China's current standing army. In the early years, the size of the Chinese army reached 150 million.In the past two years, China has expanded its military so aggressively that Alexander Cadogan predicted that China's standing army has exceeded 200 million.This is a rare army size in the world.

No wonder Portugal will take a step back and return Macau to China.

But it is clear that China's ambitions are not over.China has already greeted the UK and hopes that China and the UK will discuss the issue of Hong Kong.Although China has not come up with a specific meaning, Alexander Cadogan can guess.

After all, the example of Macau is ahead.

China must want to imitate the situation in Macau and want to take back Hong Kong.In the past few days, Alexander Cadogan has also been in contact with many people in China, hoping to hear some ideas from the Chinese government, and at the same time he is waiting for orders from London.

Alexander Cadogan would have returned to London long ago had it not been for the beginning of instability in the Far East.But it is precisely because the Far East is unstable that Britain needs an excellent diplomat to sit in the Far East.
