Gu Weijun is a new generation of politicians with extremely diplomatic talent. He used to lack a stage and opportunity. Now, once he has such a stage, the world seems to be circling around him.

After cleverly destroying the special relationship between Britain and the Netherlands, he strangely visited London and met with Prime Minister Ramsey McDonald, trying to coordinate for Britain and the Netherlands and persuade Britain and China to mediate the Japan-Dutch crisis together.

He mastered the division and alliance between major powers very subtlely to avoid the development of military conflicts between Britain, Japan and China and France during this special period. He finally persuaded Britain to interfere and force Japan to withdraw its troops with the political pressure of China, Britain, France and the Netherlands.

Diplomacy is a wonderful job. Only the smartest politicians can show their talents on the stage of international diplomacy and obtain the greatest benefits with the smallest strength and cost. Without any further military conflicts and additional expenses, Gu Weijun used his diplomatic skills to suppress Japan's crazy external expansion impulse and suppress Japan's economic crisis to self-digest in China.

In May 1930, Gu Weijun led the conclusion of the Rotterdam Agreement between China and Japan and the Netherlands at the Rotterdam Conference. China and Japan shared the right to trade freely in Dutch Indonesia. Japan leased Solong Port as a military and trade port for a lease period of 20 years. The Netherlands sold the territory ownership of Kalimantan, Sulawesi Islands, and Tanjung Penang to China for a price of 14 million yuan.

After reaching this agreement, Japanese Prime Minister Yuyuki Hamaguchi began to decide to cut naval military expenditures. He was blocked by naval non-commissioned officers in July 1930. He died of excessive injuries after resigning urgently. He was also the first Japanese Prime Minister to die of military assassination.

On November 10, 1930, seven days after the Brazilian coup, Gu Weijun visited Brazil in a lightning manner on the premise of recognizing the Brazilian interim government and the newly appointed Brazilian President Gertulio Vagas, and signed the China-Pakistan Strategic Mutual Assistance Treaty and the China-Pakistan Free Trade Treaty, providing Brazil with a total amount of 750 million yuan in long-term preferential loans, which opened the door to China's comprehensive investment in Brazil.

...

1930 was a very important year. During this year, the central government of the Chinese Empire and provincial governments spent a total of 2.23 billion yuan in government infrastructure funds, which enabled the empire to maintain the rapid growth trend of previous years. It spent 1.3 billion yuan in loans and government investment in overseas provinces, protectors, and strategic cooperative countries to stabilize the economic order of the overseas colonial market, and to increase foreign exports that had fallen sharply last year.

The empire has once again become the largest grain importer in Southeast Asia, and has also imported a large amount of tropical cash crop products from Southeast Asia, maintaining the stability of Asian trade.

During the special stage of the world's Great Depression, the empire began to quickly replace Europe and the United States and become the largest investor and creditor country in Southeast Asia, Brazil, West Asia and other regions. The empire accumulated strength and burst out with amazing power at this most critical moment.

In this year, the Empire continued to maintain a large investment in scientific research and education, and the number of public and private students sent abroad set a new historical record. The total number of international students in Europe and the United States reached 114,000, and the total number of college students in the Empire also exceeded 300,000.

In this year, the Empire also won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry and Physics Prize, even if the physicist who won the Prize in Physics was a German scientist living in China.

In this year, after the empire tightened restrictions on immigration policies, the number of foreign population in the empire continued to expand. In Liaoning, Shandong, Shanghai, Tianjin, Hong Kong and Fuzhou were the most concentrated areas. The foreign population in Liaoning Province alone increased by 140,000, and the population with university education and junior college education accounted for 32. The Russian City in Chenyang, Zhendan, the German City in Qingdao, the British City in Shanghai, the French City, Haizhou and the American City in Fuzhou. These international areas have been specially approved for county-level administrative qualifications, and the county is elected as a member of parliament and county magistrate.

In this year, the speed of Chinese immigrating to the outside world was still increasing rapidly. In Laos, northern Myanmar, Thailand, Brunei, the Philippines, the population of newly immigrant Chinese exceeded one quarter. The special position of Chinese in Southeast Asia's economy and politics has been further consolidated, while the power of Britain, the United States, Netherlands, France and other countries has shrunk sharply.

As the total economic output of the United States further declines, the gap between China's GDP and the United States has narrowed sharply again, and it is expected to officially surpass the United States in 1931 and leaps to the world's first place.

Twenty years.

In the past twenty years of the golden empire, the imperial economy has jumped from second to second in the world after the United States, Britain and France, and has divided the world equally with the United States, accounting for 1/4 of the world's total economic output. The empire's extraordinary breakthrough in the two major fields of metallurgy and electricity has made the empire's total coal and iron jump to first in the world, and the total agricultural output surpasses the United States to become the world's first. The gap between industrial output value and the United States is only a gap of less than 7.

The imperial university education has become the largest education country in the world in twenty years.

The empire's scientific research has become the country with the most investment in scientific research in the world in 20 years.

The twenty years before World War I belonged to Germany. Germany created an economic miracle in the world, and the twenty years now belonged to China. China copied this miracle and replaced Germany as the world's latest emerging industrial and technological power.

This is a truly precious twenty years as gold.

...

The Spring Festival in 1931 was as prosperous and joyful as in previous years. The Chinese people were immersed in the happiness and pride of catching up with Britain and the United States. All the people seemed to have revived the great glory of the Chinese nation overnight and became the country and the people of the heavenly dynasty again.

The humiliation of the late Qing Dynasty made the people ashamed, but it did not erase the people's feelings for a great country and will.

After breaking through this watershed in 1930, the empire ushered in a new generation. They were generally born in the late Guangxu period and the Xuantong period. They were born in the New Deal period and were called the New Deal generation. They happened to welcome the greatest dynasty change in their childhood, becoming the people of the empire, and were able to enjoy popular compulsory education, and integrate into a new generation of Chinese people between tradition and modernity.

They are 25 years old, and the oldest is 30 years old, which is the age to enter society and build their own careers.

They are everywhere, the empire has changed them, and they have changed the empire.

On the 20th anniversary of the founding of the Empire, the Empire entered a new era like platinum under the promotion of the New Deal generation.

In the early morning, there were bursts of lively firecrackers outside the Central Palace. The royal family got up very early. Song Biao, the prince and the princess, also lit a long list of firecrackers outside, and then took the children back to the restaurant to enjoy the first meal of the year's Wanyunhe Yuanbao.

Dumplings and sesame dumplings made of cabbage and meat are always Song Biao's favorites. They are simple and delicious. The children are making noise and asking for New Year's money. Everyone has a warm gift, representing the love of him and Empress Shu, Concubine Shu, Concubine Ning, and Concubine Rong as parents.

Today is different from before. It is not only the Spring Festival, but also the first day of the Lunar New Year. Song Yuanyuan wants to invite a boy from the Central Emperor to visit his home.

He agreed to his daughter's eager request, and tried his best to hope it was a pure love, but after all, he still had some doubts and there was no way to doubt it, after all, it was his daughter's own choice.

After breakfast, he asked his wife and children to continue to visit the Imperial Garden. Song Biao stayed in the restaurant to read newspapers and enjoyed the warmth and tranquility of living in the family. Before noon, the young man would visit him in the Central Palace accompanied by the eldest princess.

Song Biao knew that he was a very outstanding young man, very famous in the Central Emperor's Great Hall, and destined to be very famous. But he didn't expect his daughter to come with him, so he had an attitude of following it.

The newspaper is full of New Year's greetings.

The news that Ilia Repin was reported in the corner of the side page of the Central Daily News was that Illia Repin was seriously ill. As the Russian painter that Song Biao admired the most, Repin spent the last decade of his life at the Zhendan Academy of Fine Arts.

This news made Song Biao sigh.

The world has been so dull in the past two years, and good news has been continuous in China. China has always had the habit of congratulating the New Year. Shenyang Machine Tool Corporation has continuously seized nodes during this period and completed the development of the horizontal combination machine tool of the speed-regulating motor in the 201 project, and will be officially put into production in June this year.

This is very beautiful good news.

Since the United States invented the combined machine tool in 1911, the Imperial machine tool industry has been investing in energy and funds for a long time since the early stages to track the development trends of combined machine tools in the world and has been striving to catch up. With the development of speed control motors, new speed control motors have begun to become a new trend, and this trend will drive combined machine tools to a higher field.

It should be said that this is the world's first speed control motor combination machine tool.

During this period of the Great Depression in the United States, the Far East Consortium began to re-intervent in the US market in the first half of 1930, and largely merged American companies, reorganized American United Machine Tools, China United Machine Tools, Shenyang Machine Tool Corporation, Dehua Machine Tool and other companies into the new China United Machine Tool Corporation. The largest American machine tool enterprise has thus completely become the US branch of the subsidiary of the Far East Consortium.

Technically speaking, this significance is no longer great, because Shenyang Machine Tool Corporation is already very strong in the technical field, mainly in industrial integration, which makes China United Machine Tool Corporation the world's largest combined machine tool production and R&D company, and has technical patents that occupy more than 70% of the world's combined machine tool field.

The greatest value of a combined machine tool is not its processing accuracy. Its processing accuracy has always been lower than that of traditional machine tools, but the requirements for workers' quality have been greatly reduced. Because the parameters of the combined machine tool are fixed, it can only process one product, mainly used in fixed fields such as automobiles, aircrafts, drilling, etc. If the prototype material is placed on the platform, it can automatically process it into a finished product, and the role of workers is very low.

The machining accuracy of speed-regulating motor combination machine tools is higher than that of traditional combination machine tools, and the scope of application is wider. The design of the machine tool is simpler or wider.

From 1911 to the Great Depression, the total number of workers in the United States increased by less than 20, but its total industrial production capacity increased by 4 times, and the average value of industrial products also increased by 1.7 times. This shows that its workers did not grow much, the amount of high-end industrial products was increasing, and the total output value was also increasing. Many of the factors here lies in the rapid development of combined machine tools over the past 20 years.

We say that the economic crisis in the assetist world mainly comes from the rapid increase in industrial production capacity and the slow growth of consumption. This is the biggest contradiction of capitalism, and one of the important reasons here is the rapid development of technology.

Technology is the primary productivity.

Only science and technology can significantly increase the output value of industrial production capacity.

After seeing the news of the successful development of the speed-regulating motor combination machine tool, Song Biao was still very pleased and happy. This means a lot of things, such as the industrial production of tanks, cars and aircraft will all reach a new level, with greater output and higher accuracy.

Song Biao finished reading the "Chongqing Daily" and the "Far East Daily". In his spare time, he also finished reading the 15th chapter of "The Legend of the Swordsman in Shushan" serialized in the "Ta Kung Pao". This feeling is really good.

It's very satisfying. You can watch the serialization of "The Legend of Shushan Swordsman" directly in this era.

Of course, Song Biao likes "The Legend of Swordsman in Shushan". He was very satisfied with reading it. He wanted to write a set of fantasy novels of immortals. He also read half of the set of "Anti-Romance of the Three Kingdoms" some time ago, and the book is still being serialized.

He is really leisurely now. Even when he goes to other places to inspect, he is generally mainly focused on tourism. At this point in the country's development, there are many things that he really needs to solve, but most of them are problems that cannot be solved in decades.

Instead of fighting for these things to the end, it is better to leave the problems to future generations, leave them to the cabinet, and leave them to the future imperial prime minister to solve them slowly, such as the long-term governance of the Yellow River, the problem of Xinjiang, and as the constitutional emperor, the matters that the cabinet should handle are handed over to the cabinet.

At this stage, in addition to holding a training meeting and central military work once a week, Song Biao is in charge of less and less things. He has more and more time left. His life is always gone and he can never come back. It is very important to be able to spare time and do something he likes.

If one person only relies on the power of a person to forcibly promote the development of the empire, such development cannot be considered truly sustainable development.

On the emperor's dragon throne, all he could guarantee was freedom and peace, which was the foundation for the long-term and stable development of the empire.

In the morning, Song Biao was having tea and reading newspapers in Furong Hall, and carefully read the fifteenth chapter of "The Legend of Swordsman of Shushan". This time, it was about Qi Shuming entering a famous mountain and Xun Lanyin lost her beloved daughter, which made people both look forward to it and sigh for it.

Just after watching it, the inner court came over to report that Princess Song Yuanyuan had brought her friend Chen Zhizhi to the palace.

Chen Zhizhi is a good person. He is from Shanghai. He is currently studying for a graduate degree at the Central Dida Institute of Finance and Economics. He will graduate this year. He has been the editor-in-chief of the School Newspaper of the University Student Union. Song Yuanyuan is studying at the University Foreign Languages ​​College and also serves as an editor in the school newspaper.

As we all know, this person is very smart and has very good political skills. He can be said to be the veteran center of the Republic's economic faction.

At this time, Chen Zhizhi was still a very young man. He was born in 1905 and was only 25 years old this year. According to Song Yuanyuan, he wanted to work at the Central Economic Research Institute.

Song Biao's impression was that this person was not handsome when he was young, but he was quite distinctive. Why did he talk to the princess at home? He was a little confused. It is said that because his family was poor, he lost his father and mother in his early years, and was raised by his uncle. He had no partner during his studies at the Emperor University.

There are only two types of people in the school of Emperor University. One is the children of social elites, and the other is the really excellent poor children. Students like him are very inconspicuous in Emperor University, but they are also destined to achieve something.

Song Biao put down the newspaper in his hand and ordered Chen Jiayou beside him, "Take him to the imperial study room, and I will meet him alone first."

Chen Jiayou silently paused and said yes, then turned around and got things done.

After waiting for a while, Song Biao went to the imperial study room.

When he arrived at the imperial study room, Chen Jin had already arrived and was waiting in the study room. When he saw Song Biao, he hurriedly stepped forward and bowed, and was a little nervous.

Song Biao took a rough look, sat down on the couch, raised his hand to signal to give him a seat, and took out Chen Jin's bachelor's thesis from the table beside him, looked it over again, and after a moment, he asked, "How long have you known Yuanyuan?"

After sitting down, Chen Jin seemed even more nervous, and was as if he was on his back, and hurriedly replied: "Report to the emperor, the people have known the princess for two years and have not known the princess' identity before."

Song Biao said with a huff and said, "Your bachelor's thesis is well written. You have a comprehensive understanding of the economic framework of the Soviet Union, but you are still not in-depth enough. Judging from the data, the Soviet Union's heavy industry and national economy have developed very quickly in recent years, especially the development of the oil industry in the Volga River, but you are not concerned about their farmers' living standards. In order to develop industry, there must be capital investment. The machine tool equipment purchased by the Soviet Union from my country has been growing in recent years, increasing year by year. Now it is my country's largest machinery exporter. So, where does its capital come from? From the perspective of foreign exchange, the Soviet Union's foreign exchange mainly comes from the export of oil and metal mineral products to Europe, but is it really the case? Have you studied how its domestic economy works?"

Chen Jin did not expect the emperor to ask him some economic questions directly. He was slightly stunned. After a moment, he came to his senses and replied: "The principle of the Soviet economy itself is anti-exploitation. I think this is better than that of the European and American economies. Or at a certain stage, it also needs to comply with the principles of economics and impose too harsh economic restrictions on the peasant class. However, in recent years, the Soviet Union is one of the few countries that have not been affected by the world capitalist economic crisis, which itself proves that its economic system has some advantages."

Song Biao sighed and replied: "Freedom, freedom, without freedom, of course, it can easily resist the impact. The value of human survival is not just to survive, but to pursue a more free and broader development space. Otherwise, what is the difference between humans and animals? We compare feed to animals, and what they eat depends on us. Do we also compare feed to people? The government decides what people eat, what they use, and what they live in? Is this reasonable? The government is the natural enemy of the people. The government wants rights to determine everything. The people want rights to protect freedom. You have seen the advantages of Sovietism and the left, but you cannot ignore the horrors of leftism and Sovietism. You are studying economy. A principle of economics is to allow the market to operate freely and reasonably. The world economic crisis is terrible, but it is much better than being raised by people as animals."

After a pause, he said: "You want to study the economic model of the Soviet Union. This is a very important topic, but you can simply draw the conclusion of the superiority of Sovietism and model from this research, which is a problem in itself. History is long-term. Fifty years or a hundred years are just a moment in the long river of human history. It may take a hundred years to see whether a system is superior. Therefore, you must be cautious when drawing conclusions, and even more cautious when doing academic research. I know that you are in the Imperial Dahe Social Democratic Party.

We are very close, but we still need to understand the Soviet Union dialectically. Extreme left and extreme right are not good things. If you make up your mind to devote yourself to the cause of the left, I hope that out of respect for the royal family, you should not get too close to the royal family members. The royal family has no prejudice against the differences in the social positions of the two factions. As long as you follow the idea of ​​benevolent politics, respect the wise, respect the law and love the people, and take the prosperity of the people and strengthen the country as the first principle, that is all feasible ideas. But whether it is the Mensheviks or the Busheviks, the royal family must stay away from it."

Chen Jin remained silent.

He felt that the emperor did not understand his daughter because Song Yuanyuan and the Youth Society of the Social Democratic Party were also closely related.

Song Biao actually knew all this, and he also talked to his daughter that royal family members cannot join any political party, and it is not suitable to be too close to the left and right parties, especially the extreme left and extreme right parties, which should be further away from each other.

He knew his daughter, and was also an intellectual young man who knew the general. Sometimes he was a little proud and unruly, but he was still a very obedient daughter and was not that rebellious.

As young people, it is normal to be a little curious, especially for these somewhat extreme ideas.

At this time, Song Biao and Chen Jiayou took a look. Chen Jiayou immediately received the idea and handed over the file bag in his hand to Chen Jin, saying: "This is a comprehensive research report of the Central Intelligence Administration on the Soviet Union. It has not been officially disclosed to the public yet. Your Majesty specially approved it. You can get a set back for academic research. I hope you can do it yourself."

Chen Jin didn't understand very much, but he still took the file and thanked Emperor Song for his kindness.

He generally felt that the empire was relatively left-leaning in economic policies over the years, with a gradual increase in minimum wage guarantee and holiday policy for workers, a social insurance system for pension for skilled workers, and a policy of supporting farmers with tax cuts and average land rights. In terms of major policies, the State's macro-control and state-owned investment have been dominated by the SPD. The SPD has also increased its seats in the parliament in recent years, including the emperor personally criticizing more than 20 left-wing members of the SPD.

Especially after the outbreak of the Great Depression, the economic community within the empire also took the left-wing model of studying the Soviet economy as a trend. Chen Jin felt that he was at the forefront in academics and felt that the emperor had long-term considerations to support the Social Democratic Party.

So, he is still young and does not understand politics.

Because in the long run, the minority party that Song Biao really wants to support for a long time is Song Jiaoren's Chinese Democratic Party. In recent years, some new Social Democratic Party members have been added, but they are consciously forcing the Democratic Party to realize more clearly the essence of the people and the country, rather than relying on bourgeois funding, not blindly market freedom and democratic spirit, nor blindly emphasizing learning from Britain and the United States.
