And Henry Wallace is an American agricultural expert who served as Secretary of Agriculture for eight years.When Roosevelt was elected for the third term, he recommended Henry Wallace as vice president.But even the Democratic Party opposed Henry Wallace as vice president at the time.But because of Roosevelt's insistence, Henry Wallace became the vice president.Roosevelt still trusted him.

Roosevelt was going to send someone to negotiate directly with Stalin.

The level cannot be too low.

But at present, the big shots in the United States all have their own jobs, and the most suitable Secretary of State Cordell Hull and Chief of General Staff Marshall have heavy jobs.So Roosevelt thought of Henry Wallace.

"I think it's good."

"When negotiating with Stalin, there is no need to beat around the bush. Tell them directly what China wants. I believe Stalin is a smart man, and he would not fight China for the sake of a place that doesn't shit."

"Chairman, they want to see you."

The action of the United States is indeed very fast.

Just after receiving the news of the secret talks between China and Japan, they immediately began to spread in China the content that China would recognize the cession of Taiwan in the "Treaty of Shimonoseki".As for Duan Xun's desire to exchange Taiwan for the Thousand Islands and north-central Vietnam, the United States did not disclose it.

The disclosure of this kind of news is very simple for the United States.

How many American students study abroad in China every year, among them return to China to enter government agencies, return to China to work as university teachers, and enter the media industry everywhere.These people are studying in the United States and have a good relationship with the United States.Even US intelligence agencies keep in touch with them a lot.

It's not that these foreign students are all spies.

It's just that these people have studied in the United States for many years, and it is normal for them to have some good friends in the United States.The Americans took advantage of this opportunity to let people from some intelligence agencies contact them and make friends with them.The contact of the US intelligence agencies with these international students is not to turn them into US intelligence personnel.After all, intelligence work is not so easy.US intelligence agencies want to use such means to influence these people.

After all, in this day and age, international students are still very popular in China.

At present, there are less than 500 million college students in China, even those who are enrolled in school.Compared with the national population of 9 million, the proportion of national college students, including undergraduate and junior college students, is about 0.5%.

That is to say, college students are still very rare now.

So much so that the current college students, as long as they graduate, all units are robbing people.There are also many wars between various units in order to rob people.In the past few years, the military department has been the strongest, taking away a large number of college graduates, making many departments very dissatisfied with the military.

Needless to say, college students, even technical secondary school students, technical school students, and high school students are currently popular.

Therefore, international students are more valuable in China.Especially the government-sponsored overseas students, they are all funded by the government and major companies, and they are all top talents.After these people return to China, their status in China is not low.U.S. intelligence agencies have a good relationship with them, and they can subtly influence China's middle and upper classes, and by the way, influence China's policies.

This time, through these people, the United States inadvertently leaked certain contents of the secret talks between China and Japan.Sure enough, it caused a great disturbance among intellectuals.They immediately entrusted some bigwigs in the intellectual circles to protest with the bigwigs of the government.Some people have even proposed to meet Duan Xun.

These people are very influential.

Many people are even the Supreme Council, or the cabinet, or are consultants of some ministries and commissions.Even Duan Xun can't treat them too much.

"Are these people really?"

Duan Xun also had a headache.

You can't take tough measures against these people, but you also can't explain it to them.They may be experts and scholars in some of their majors, but what do they know about the country's grand strategy.

In the current international situation, a slight mistake will cause great losses to the national interests.Duan Xun is currently fighting the fire between the Axis Powers and the Anti-Fascist Alliance. How can these people know the hardships inside.

The staff of the Supreme Council, the think tank of the Supreme Council, no one will participate in such behavior.Because for them, although they don't quite understand Duan Xun's meaning, they can guess some of it.But those scholars, how do they know how to deal with this kind of international relations.

"So, Vice Chairman Wang (Wang Jingwei)."

"Chairman."

"You meet these people together with Minister Wang (Wang Boqun) of the Propaganda Department. Talk to me and appease them first. Of course, important information cannot be disclosed. The main thing is to tell them not to believe these unfounded rumors."

"Yes."

Wang Jingwei nodded.

Duan Xun does not want to see them at this stage.Many of those people were bigwigs in the Chinese cultural circle in the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China, and they had a strong appeal.Duan Xun was really impatient to deal with them.Duan Xun doesn't have the energy to deal with them now.

It is the best way for Wang Jingwei to come forward to make things worse.For those experts and professors, it might be good to let them do academic work, but if you confront an old man in the political arena like Wang Jingwei, how can you be Wang Jingwei's opponent.

It's best to fool them.

"Negotiations with Japan continue, and the content of the negotiations is still leaked to the US intelligence agencies. Of course, even if Japan makes concessions, don't rush to continue the talks. Biting our conditions, especially the issue of Sakhalin Island and the Kuril Islands must be To adhere."

"Yes."

After talking with Wang Jingwei, Duan Xun said to Dai Kan: "Vice Chairman Dai (Dai Kan), our country is a big country with a population of more than 9 million, and has the ability to undertake all industrial sectors. Therefore, the cabinet must make a good plan, and the world We must have any industrial sector in the world. Regardless of whether the technology is mature or immature, we must have what foreign powers have. The current diplomatic situation is very favorable to us. To make good use of this opportunity, our country must first solve the problem of whether it has or not. Only then can we cultivate talents in this field.”

"Cabinet will develop a comprehensive plan."

Dai Kan's work has been going very well recently.

Because China's import and export has increased greatly, the result has greatly stimulated the domestic industry.If we talk about the second five-year plan and the third five-year plan, China's government printed money to stimulate the economy.

Then the past few years have been completely different.

It was the outbreak of trade that gave the Chinese economy the greatest stimulus.Now China's annual import and export volume has exceeded 100 billion US dollars, and with the export of various arms, the import and export volume is even more astonishing.

There is also the outbreak of the world war, and those international capitals began to flow into stable areas.China has done a lot to attract these capitals, giving HSBC and OCBC a lot of autonomy.It even cooperated with countries such as Germany, Italy, and Spain to establish a Bank of East Asia dedicated to serving the shady funds of countries such as Germany, Italy, and Spain.

The result is really attracting a lot of international capital.

黄金储备几乎是以看得见的速度增长。在1939年8月份的时候，中国的黄金储备不过是400吨左右。可是到了1940年6月份左右的时候，中国的黄金储备已经是突破了1000吨。等到1940年年末的时候，黄金储备更是暴涨到2600吨。短短半年之内黄金储备暴涨1600吨。

There are more than 600 tons of gold absorbed by the Bank of East Asia alone. It can be seen how much money the Nazis in Germany, the military officer families headed by Mussolini in Italy, and the Franco family in Spain have in their hands.This money is only part of their funds, and they have other storage channels.

By the end of March 1941, China's gold reserves quickly reached 3 tons.

That's the benefit of being a warmonger.

After World War II, the United States had a gold reserve of 2 tons, which was not a fluke.The cabinet has made calculations and believes that if this war is fought for another two years, China's gold reserves will be more than enough to increase to 5000 tons.And it's not just gold reserves that have increased, silver reserves have also increased rapidly.And as the only foreign exchange dollar recognized by the Chinese government at present, the reserves are also increasing rapidly.At present, the US dollar foreign exchange reserves in the hands of the Chinese government are about 4.7 million US dollars, which is worth about 500 tons in terms of gold.

And that's not all.

With the massive sale of overseas assets in the hands of the UK, China has almost recovered most of the UK's assets in China.Recently, the British government has even begun to transfer shares in HSBC Bank.There are also British assets in the United States. The assets transferred to China alone add up to about 4 million U.S. dollars.

As a result of the influx of money into China, Chinese industries have become increasingly prosperous.The monetary policy of the cabinet has been somewhat tightened, but it still cannot stop the inflow of a large amount of funds, and it still cannot stop the great development of the economy.

It can be said that Dai Kan has long since walked out of the time when he was trembling.

For the second five-year plan and the third five-year plan, the Chinese government owed a lot of debt.Some borrowed from banks, some issued government bonds to borrow from domestic and overseas Chinese in Southeast Asia, and some borrowed from European and American countries.With so much debt, the Chinese government can't breathe.

At that time, Dai Kan was really scared.

Including the retired Wang Yongjiang, they are worried all the time.I am worried that once the money cannot be paid, the credit of the Chinese government will collapse, and the Chinese government's finances will collapse.

But war broke out.

Those dangers are long gone.What are those debts? The revenue of the Chinese government has doubled in recent years.The Chinese government has completely ignored that debt.
