It will take another month for the steamship to sail to the United States, and in this month Roosevelt and Tu Qianjun discussed the most about the economic form of Manchuria. Since entering Manchuria, Roosevelt discovered an unexpected thing.

First of all, private capital is not prohibited in the three northeastern provinces. However, most large enterprises, such as mining, banking, smelting, chemicals, etc., are operated by the capital of the three northeastern provinces themselves.

This seems to be different from traditional Anglo-American capitalism, but it is said that it is socialism but it exists and recognizes private capital. This economic form attracted Roosevelt's attention, so during the inspection, Roosevelt also asked some policy questions about the three eastern provinces.

Although Yan Zhengqing and others gave him some answers, they were too busy because they often didn’t have much time to answer the governor. As the commander-in-chief of the entire National Defense Force, Tu Qianjun was also very busy.

So Roosevelt did not bother them, but recorded his own questions and waited for Tu Qianjun and he to take a boat to the United States to give some answers together.

"First of all, I want to answer one thing, Brother Ruici! The policies implemented in Manchuria can basically be regarded as a combination of state capitalism and private capital." Tu Qianjun explained to Roosevelt with a smile: "Perhaps there is also some socialist flavor here, and even some ancient Chinese philosophical thoughts."

"You can think of it as a mixture, but it seems to work in general." Tu Qianjun paused and smiled at Roosevelt, "At least the people under my rule were not hungry, nor were they panic because of the disaster. Their lives were guaranteed, and the whole region was thriving."

Roosevelt nodded in agreement with this point Tu Qianjun said. In fact, he went to the reconstruction area of ​​the disaster area and did not see the devastating victims. More people were working hard to receive relief and reconstruction from the governments of the three eastern provinces.

A civil service team composed of the National Defense Forces, local military officials and some students from the East University are responsible for coordination and reconstruction work in the disaster area. At the same time, they are responsible for public security, distributing relief and reporting on the reconstruction of the disaster area to the governments of the three eastern provinces.

"Brother Meng Ben, I have seen many large enterprises, such as Jiuda Group, the Arsenals of the Three East Provinces, Manchuria Mining... and other large enterprises, almost all have shares in the Three East Provinces governments." As he said that, Roosevelt paused and said in a deep voice to Tu Qianjun: "Will this affect private capital?! Official competition squeezes private capital. Will it lead to the shrinkage and suppression of private capital?!"

After hearing Roosevelt's words, Tu Qianjun smiled and nodded, "Brother Ruici, this is a very interesting question. What I want to say is that I do not allow private management of some parts. These include military industry, railways, steel... etc.! For private banks, I will open up some parts. But the main body is still managed by the government."

As he said that, Tu Qianjun asked Shang Dinnan, who was behind him, to open it, pointing to some records above and whispered to Roosevelt: "First of all, we must pay attention to a problem, how much influence will private capital have on the country?!"

Roosevelt was stunned when he heard this, while Tu Qianjun smiled and said, "There is no doubt that the influence of the trust is very great. This is why you chose to split the 'standard oil'. Because it is too big, it is already big enough to affect a country. So you start splitting it."

Roosevelt nodded as he listened to Junzi's words. In 1890, Standard Oil controlled 80% of the United States' oil. Ohio successfully sued Standard Oil, and the trust was forced to disband in 1892. In the end, Standard Oil was dismantled by the U.S. Supreme Court in 1911.

"But what we can see is that even though standard oil seems to have been dismantled, it still operates in groups." Tu Qianjun smiled at Roosevelt and said softly: "It takes a certain amount of time to recover, but after the recovery, the entire oil industry system still has a great influence on the government! And politicians inevitably have to seek their support."

"The rest include military industry, American Steel Company, American Tobacco Company, etc., and other private capitals, which actually control the entire United States, right?!" Tu Qianjun sighed at Roosevelt and said softly.

"Once their interests are damaged, some of the media they have in their hands can completely get rid of some of the members who are unhappy."

"In political elections, scandals are used to attack opponents in a constant stream of events. The costs incurred by the campaign cannot continue without financial support."

Roosevelt couldn't help but stagnate when he heard this, but Junzi whispered to Roosevelt: "Chasing for interests is the nature of capital. The seemingly split trust. In fact, they can reorganize into a new alliance. After a certain period of time of precipitation and integration, their spokespersons will enter Congress again, but they have changed their clothes."

Roosevelt was silent. In fact, what Tu Qianjun was talking about was the current form of the United States. Basically, Congress was controlled by large capital, and spokespersons of capital from all parties spoke for their respective interests on the stage. However, the government had to act in accordance with the expressions of these people.

Hoover's current situation is not up or down, but in fact it has a lot to do with these capitals. Andrew Mellon has become several Treasury Secretary, which is actually a manifestation of this power!

In 1932, 65% of the United States' industry was in the hands of 600 companies; people who only accounted for 1% of the national population had 59% of the national wealth! Hoover's Revival Financial Company adopted that business policy and had to admit that it had a great relationship with these capitals.

"The key point we want to discuss is whether capital controls the country or the state controls capital?!" Tu Qianjun looked at Roosevelt and said solemnly: "The power of capital is very strong! And its profit-seeking nature also makes it very dangerous!"

As he said that, Tu Qianjun took a deep breath and said to Roosevelt in a deep voice: "If capital controls the country, then when there is a conflict between national interests and people's interests and capital interests, what do you think capital will do?!"

They will throw away national interests without hesitation! As for the interests of the people, just look at the current United States. Roosevelt replied in his heart that although he was unwilling to admit it, it was a fact.

Faced with the Great Depression, banker Albert H. Wiggin sold the stock of this bank (Chat Bank) short and lied to deceive people later. Charles Mitchell of the New York Huā Banner tore up the agreement to merge with the cereal trading bank. In addition, Mitchell also sold the securities to his family at a loss and bought them back later to evade federal income tax.

j.p. Morgan also used a similar method to take advantage of loopholes. In the past three years, he had never paid a penny of income tax. Colonel Robert McCormick, the owner of the Chicago Tribune, only symbolically paid 1,500 yuan in income tax a year, but wrote many long editorials urging readers to pay the tax honestly and have a lot of money.

Andrew Mellon was also entitled to the people who were owed taxes as the Secretary of the Treasury, but he adopted another standard for himself. In accordance with Mellon's instructions, the Director of the Domestic Income Department wrote a memorandum for him, listing 12 ways to evade federal taxes. This news shocked the whole of the United States!

Therefore, a tax expert from the Ministry of Finance was assigned to review Mellon's personal income tax declaration. It turned out that Mellon actually adopted five suggestions from the director, including false reporting of several grants and losses, thereby evading taxes.

Joseph Kennedy himself is a business giant, but he said: Everyone thought that those who master major American companies had good character and noble ideals, but this belief has now been completely shattered.

"We may be able to limit the wild beast capital for a while, but it will continue to infiltrate the government, media, etc. and eventually swallow its enemies!" At this point, Tu Qianjun couldn't help but sigh.

A bunch of elites in later generations were hyping up the air and talking about food safety. Little did they know that the entire food industry in the United States had actually been completely monopolized by food companies. In the United States, you would be sued for speaking to food.

The Food Defamation Act or Food Defamation Act is also called the Vegetarian Defamation Act. Under this bill, in states where the Vegetarian Defamation Act, the media and individuals cannot casually say that food is wrong.

For example, comment on health risks caused by bacteria in meat, poultry or raw seafood, sulfites in salads, nitrites and other processed foods in smoked pork, as well as high fat content, pesticide/herbicide treatments, genetic technology manufacturing ingredients or other highly toxic chemicals contained in food, unless you have very conclusive evidence.

The bill was passed by 13 states, including Alabama, Arizona, Colorado, etc. The specific content of the law varies between states, but the typical food defamation law allows food processors and distributors to sue individuals or groups that issue derogatory comments about food.

In agricultural states such as Texas, publish photos and texts about the meat production process. And all other production processes that will cause consumers to dislike are news reports. It is illegal to publish without communicating with the original owner! You may be fined $300,000 for a photo of a feed farm being published in the newspaper!

In fact, the entire country has been kidnapped by capital at this time. No one dares to say anything about food safety. The famous host Oprah Winfrey once said only one word about hamburgers on her show.

But the result was that she was sued by the food company. Although she won the case in the end, it is unknown what price she paid. The only thing that can be seen is that after the lawsuit, Oprah never talked about this topic publicly again.

"Brother Ruici, we must first know that people are selfish after all." Junzi sighed at Roosevelt and whispered: "For their own interests, they will do whatever they want."

Including assassination! Tu Qianjun added in his heart that Kennedy ended the Vietnam War and formulated a series of policies, but the result was that he died in vain. Even any person in his family who wanted to participate in the politician was blocked by an invisible wall.

Anyone who wants to restart the investigation of this case, whether it is a journalist or a politician, will suffer a tragic disaster.

"Restricting capital is the first thing the country needs to do. Otherwise, it will be destroyed by capital!" Junzi said in a deep voice to Roosevelt.

"State capitalism actually makes the state have a certain influence on capital! At least it must occupy a certain share, ensuring that once capital reveals some of its character, it can continue to attack this sign!"

"But will this form of 'powerism'?!" Roosevelt thought for a while and said in a deep voice to Tu Qianjun: "This is a very serious problem. Once a system is formed, a group of monopoly new powers will appear."

Tu Qianjun couldn't help laughing when he heard Roosevelt's words, and then explained: "Brother Ruici, you will notice that I have put several special systems into the Civil Servants Regulations. One is the announcement of personal property, the second is the report of personal whereabouts. The other is the priority of their children when applying for civil servants!"

After a pause, Tu Qianjun explained to Roosevelt: "The system is open and transparent. It is necessary to implement supervision. Secondly, these managers will be included in the official system. That is to say, they must be supervised by the Discipline Inspection Commission and the Independent Commission for Corruption. Once a problem arises, both people will be implicated by themselves and their children!"

"Of course, we also encourage private capital, including loans, technical guidance, national trade, etc." Junzi explained to Roosevelt with a smile: "But the regulations are also strict! Once there is a problem, it is necessary to prohibit engaging in the work!"

"For example, if the silk business is found to be inferior as good as good ones, then if the number is not large for the first time, we will warn you. If you find it again, we will let him close the business and rectify it. When the third discovery is found, the store will face a seal. The practitioners will be restricted from being allowed to engage in this industry for five to ten years. They will also be sentenced."

Roosevelt thoughtfully recorded Tu Qianjun's words. In fact, he was thinking about his new policy now. But there was no complete concept. After coming to Manchuria, he suddenly found that he seemed to have found some inspiration.

So this conversation between him and Tu Qianjun was found, and Tu Qianjun paused and said in a deep voice: "I don't know why the United States does not have the method of reserve of grain, but it was established in China for a long time!"

As he said that, Tu Qianjun whispered to Roosevelt: "The Book of Sui Dynasty. Biography of Changsun Ping" says: 'Ping saw that many prefectures and counties in the world suffered from floods and droughts, and the people refused to give them. He ordered the people to take out a stone of millet and wheat every autumn, and the wealth was even worse than the poor. The whole store was in the alley to prepare for the bad years, and it was called Yicang."

"This is the earliest record of food storage. If the United States had its own food storage, it would not seem so powerless in this disaster..."

Roosevelt sighed helplessly. The United States had never considered any food storage issue. The United States was indeed qualified not to consider this issue. The vast land and the advanced farming were enough to prevent them from considering the issue of food storage.

But at this crisis, the government does not have the food it controls! It is impossible to even provide some relief, which leads to the need for relief but the government is powerless. You can't grab the food that belongs to the farmers, right?!

"Nationalizing part of the industry, or at least within the national control, will guarantee the interests of the state and the people." Junzi said in a deep voice to Roosevelt: "Especially banks, infrastructure construction, tap water, trains, electricity, airports... and so on."

As he said that, Junzi smiled and whispered to Roosevelt: "In fact, this theory is not new. Lenin, the founder of the Soviet Union, said in 1917 that due to the prominent contradiction between private monopoly and the capitalist economy, free capitalism can no longer adapt to the development of capitalism. For this reason, the government of capitalist countries will actively interfere in the economy, thus allowing capitalism to enter the stage of state monopoly capitalism."

Roosevelt was stunned. He did not expect Tu Qianjun to propose the concept of state capitalism. However, he was a famous nobleman who had both curiosity, amazing self-confidence and memory!

"A very interesting argument, Brother Meng Ben! Can you tell me the details?!" Roosevelt said curiously to Junzi. At this time, he did not come into contact with many socialist books. Therefore, he was a little unfamiliar with the nouns that appeared in the article "The Coming of the Misfortune and the Method of Prevention" written by Lenin in September 1917.

But this is normal, because this book was printed by the Foreign Languages ​​and Publishing Bureau of the Soviet Union in 1947, so it is normal for many people not to know it very much.

"The word 'state capitalism' was first seen in the article "The Great Disaster and the Law of Prevention" written by Lenin in September 1917." Explaining the term socialist to the capitalist president made Tu Qianjun very interesting.

"It was a war, and the Tsar was overthrown and the transitional government had just been established. The entire country was helpless and helpless due to the famine caused by the war and the large-scale unemployment. However, it was still considering the implementation of the treaties of the Allies all day long and continuing the war with Germany."

As he said that, Junzi shrugged and whispered to Roosevelt: "Lenin wrote this article and proposed a countermeasure: the state will supervise, monitor, count and regulate production and circulation, and stipulate the correct distribution of labor in production. Eliminate waste of people's power and save it."

"The main method of supervision is to nationalize banks, nationalize large monopoly companies, and cancel business secrets. During forced labor, small businessmen implement mergers and force the people to unite with consumer cooperatives." As he said that, Tu Qianjun paused and whispered to Roosevelt.

"In fact, Lenin's idea was to use state capitalism to squeeze out and control private capitalism. This is somewhat different from my idea. After all, all state capital is not a good thing. You must maintain private capital so that you can stay alive."

Junzi's words once again made Roosevelt think, which coincided with some of his vague ideas. In history, Roosevelt adopted state capitalist intervention and finally allowed the United States to survive the economic crisis.

On the third day of his tenure, he announced that all banks would cease operations. He then allowed Congress to pass the Emergency Banking Act, which announced the cessation of gold exchange and export, authorized the Federal Bank to issue additional banknotes to resolve the currency famine, and transform the Federal Reserve Bank to strengthen the state's management and control of banks.

The subsequently passed "Agricultural Adjustment Law" places all aspects of production under state supervision to reduce blind production and to intervene with state to regulate enterprise relations and labor-management relations.

This series of policies is actually a manifestation of state capitalism. With the power of the state, it interferes with the economy and brings it back on track. However, Roosevelt has been often called "economic fascism" by liberalists.

Seeing Roosevelt writing and painting on his notebook, thinking about something from time to time, Junzi smiled slightly! He stood up and walked out of the cabin. He stood out for a while and came to him with a telegram and said in a deep voice: "Commander-in-Chief, Fengtian calls!"

"Thank you for your hard work, Uncle Xiuting!" Junzi smiled at Huodiange, picked up the translated telegram and read it.

This time, the telegram sent by Yan Zhengqing from Fengtian was first of all, Zhang Yaozeng, Shen Junru and others were very comfortable staying in Manchuria! So he invited a vote of old friends to work in Manchuria and also brought some Peking University teachers over.

The second is the matter in Xinjiang. Now a group of military-to-people trained by the governments of the three eastern provinces have entered Xinjiang and started work on a large scale. In Gansu, on the border of Xinjiang, the four Malaysians in Ningxia seem to have changed a little, and it seems that they want to take advantage of the political situation in Xinjiang when Xinjiang is unstable.

Finally, there was a man from Nanjing's government. Wang Zhaoming sent someone to the Northeast to help the government lend some money from Britain and the United States. The government really felt that it could not continue to operate.

Tu Qianjun couldn't help laughing as he looked at the telegram. The central government found a place to provide guarantees and foreign loans. This kind of thing is probably unprecedented?! It's a pity that Wang Zhaoming did it!

Junzi didn't know that Wang Zhaoming had no choice but to force him! He couldn't rob him if he had money in Manchuria, right? Besides, he couldn't rob him! But if he wanted to find a loan from Britain and the United States, the ambassadors of these two countries laughed at him and didn't accept the trouble.

The matter of the Nanjing Government was eliminated, and the four major horses were the four major horses! Looking at the news on the telegram, Junzi sneered, "The four major horses?" I hope they will come! Otherwise, what excuses will be made to deal with them?" Squatting there is also a disaster. It would be better if it was eliminated sooner!

Ma Bufang, who shouted "I am born, and I am born, and I am raped." Even if he didn't find Junzi, he still wanted to find him! So after pondering for a while, Tu Qianjun called Fengtian with a password.

Tell Yan Zhengqing that first, Nanjing can agree to the request, but drag him down. Second, the National Defense Forces' strength in Xinjiang should not be exposed for the time being, and lure the four Malaysians to attack! They surrounded and killed Xinjiang, and then used a guarantee to exchange for the government's recognition that the National Defense Forces occupied the territory of the four Malaysians.

As for how to do it, Tu Qianjun doesn't have to worry about it at all. Yan Zhengqing and his group of old foxes are treacherous than anyone else. They are not as good as if they were scheming about the Nanjing Government?! As for the war in Xinjiang, there is no need to worry about it.

Not to mention the combat effectiveness of the National Defense Forces, Qi Muden, the commander of the Second Corps, was also a man who came out of the sea of ​​blood! The Soviet Union and Japan had both cleaned up, but they could not handle the four small horses?!

After he wrote the secret telegram, he handed it to Huodiange and said softly: "Uncle Xiuting, I'm in trouble!" Huodiange nodded and then took the telegram down.

During this period, Tu Qianjun was discussing with Roosevelt about the way to implement state capitalism in the economic crisis. These policies were originally inconsistent with what Roosevelt thought, because he did not reject the way Tu Qianjun said.

Just when Tu Qianjun and Roosevelt were discussing state capitalism, a bunch of people in the country hated him to death! The first among these people were Chiang Zhongzheng and Song Ziwen.

Finally, they communicated with veterans at all levels and were about to force Wang Zhaoming to retreat. As a result, he promised to guarantee a loan for Wang Zhaoming. The salted fish, who was about to die, turned over again! How could you not make Tu Qianjun hate him?!

Compared to the two, Wang Zhaoming was so happy that he wanted to go straight to Manchu and kiss Yan Zhengqing hard on his old face. It was so timely! Originally, officials at all levels and veterans of the State Government looked at him worse and worse. Now that there is news, you can get money, these people have a much better face!

Qinghai, Ningxia and northern Gansu In the above-mentioned area, the power is shared by a family named Ma - Ma Hongkui, Ma Hongbin, Ma Bufang, and Ma Buqing!

Now, the four Malaysians have put aside their past grudges and gathered at the junction of Gansu, Qinghai and Xinjiang. Now, nearly 6,000 troops of the four Malaysians have gathered here - none of them believe in each other.

"Zixiang, have you found out clearly?! Xinjiang is really so weak now?!" Ma Hongkui, with a square face, looked suspiciously at a man with a beard and bald head and short beard beside him.

The man couldn't help but snorted when he heard this, "Of course I've found out clearly. Yang Zengxin's right-hand man Fan Yaonan and Jin Shuren are going to assassinate him! The old guy was afraid, so he sent these two away. He was originally a kid Du Farong, so he probably didn't feel at ease! He sent him to Manchuria for some investigation."

As he said that, the man paused and continued: "But there have been many troops in Xinjiang recently. It seems that they have never seen the military uniform. I guess the old guy Yang Zengxin is afraid, so he will be the newly organized troops!"

This man is naturally the most cunning Ma Bufang among the four major Malaysians! It is no wonder that Ma Bufang does not know the military uniforms of the National Defense Forces. It would be strange if they knew what military uniforms the National Defense Forces wore through such a far away in the Republic of China, where news was inconvenient.

Moreover, the National Defense Forces have been very low-key since they entered the market, and basically have little contact with the outside world.

"Recently, a group of officials have been transferred in Xinjiang. It is probably Yang Zengxin's confidants. They are in the position of the meeting!" Ma Bufang sucked his nose and snorted at everyone: "To be honest, I think this is a great opportunity! Yang Zengxin's right-hand arm has just disappeared, and people are in panic! If we don't take this opportunity, we will not be so easy to do when he recovers!" (To be continued!~!
