Although Jiang Fangzhen is not Li Changgeng's confidant, he is also a close minister. The relationship between the two is pretty good in private. Li Changgeng's secretary Jiang Zhao is Jiang Fangzhen's eldest daughter. However, his relationship in military and political affairs does not seem so harmonious to outsiders. Jiang Fangzhen is more about character and character in doing things, while Li Changgeng is even more about means in doing things. All principles of conduct are based on the goal.

When the Northeast Army and the Russian army fought decisively in Omsk, when they heard Sun Lichen report to use chemical weapons, Jiang Fangzhen strongly opposed it, but Li Changgeng passed the battlefield command of Chief of General Staff Jiang Fangzhen and approved Sun Lichen's request without hesitation in the name of Commander-in-Chief.

After the Northeast Army defeated Russia's Langjuxu, Li Changgeng took advantage of his prestige in the Northeast Army and took the opportunity to regain Jiang Fangzhen's military command. Although Jiang Fangzhen is still the title of Chief of Staff, his influence in the army has been reduced very low. It is impossible to say that Jiang Fangzhen has no resentment towards Li Changgeng, but Jiang Fangzhen also understood that ten selfs could not fight one Li Changgeng, which is not because of the lack of intelligence, but the fact that the ten selfs combined did not have one of Li Changgeng's methods. As long as he showed his ambition for military power, Li Changgeng would never end up with him.

This is a precedent. Cao Rulin is loyal to Li Changgeng. It is because the expansion of the transportation department has hindered Li Changgen's rights. Cao Rulin was put into prison by Li Changgeng without hesitation. The entire transportation department was wiped out overnight, and it seemed like a vigorous anti-corruption campaign, but it only attacked the transportation department. Li Changgeng is now becoming more and more authoritative, and those Beiyang elders are not trembling in front of him. He went to Harbin to shout long live on the streets. No one was motivating all this behind his back. How could it be possible! Compared with Li Changgeng's method of becoming emperor, Yuan Shikai was simply farceful. I didn't see Xu Shichang staying in Harbin for a few days, and his face was so old that he had no blood color when he returned to Chang'an.

Li Changgeng seemed to show that he cherished Jiang Fangzhen's friendship with him at all times. Not only did he attend the position of Vice Chairman of the Military Commission, but he also held him as the Chief of Staff of the General Staff of the Three Armies. Jiang Fangzhen himself could not judge how many hypocritical elements there were in it, but no matter how, in the eyes of outsiders, Jiang Fangzhen was also a close minister of Li Changgeng. As for Jiang Fangzhen's military talent, it was no longer important to Li Changgeng's current level. A talented military genius does not mean that he is a general who wins every battle or a marshal who is good at strategizing. This is what the allusion of military talks on paper means. In the original history, Jiang Fangzhen followed so many warlords, but never led the army in his entire life. This is not unreasonable. Jiang Fangzhen is a good military scientist rather than a qualified military strategist!

When Jiang Fangzhen heard Li Changgeng ask him to evaluate a Hindenburger person, he reasoned and said, "Paul, Feng, Hindenburger, is a serious and determined soldier. Although he is not as good as the chief of staff before him in military strategy, his talent in actual military command is far greater than his predecessors, and he has an excellent reputation in Germany.

During World War I, he and Rudendolf formulated the "Hindenburg Plan". He controlled the economic activities across the country, deprived the workers of certain rights they had fought before the war, and stepped up the suppression and exploitation of the working people. They also interfered in politics more vigorously. Because the German Emperor and Congress gave up their rights and responsibilities, they actually became the supreme dominators of Germany's destiny. As a result, Germany defeated the Hindenburg Plan that the people hated, Rudendolf took the blame. Not only did Hindenburg himself not have any bad reactions, but because of his firm resistance, in Germany, no one was the nobles, civilians, or even his opponents, he gained great reputation. Although the current German president is Fred Rich Albert, the actual ruler of Germany is still Hindenburg. My evaluation of Hindenburg is that he is not only an excellent soldier, but also an excellent politician!"

After hearing this, Li Changgeng still nodded and smiled at Gu Weijun: "Shaochuan is a diplomatic expert. I want to hear your observations of the Germans!"

Gu Weijun's mentality has been adjusted these days, and he feels that there is nothing wrong with being loyal to Li Changgeng. The person in front of him is wise, visionary, decisive, and very young. When his mood changes, he naturally loses his fear. Hearing Li Changgeng's name, he must not miss the good opportunity to show off his talent and learn in Li Changgeng's eyes. "Reply to the Chairman's question, through my observations of Germans these days, it can be summed up in two words, hesitation! They hesitated about our strength before, fearing that we cannot attract the energy of Britain and France to Asia. Now they are hesitating to cooperate with us, and they will make us too strong and scare Britain and France back to Europe."

Li Changgeng smiled. Gu Weijun said something sounded reasonable, but his vision was still too shallow. "After listening to the introduction of three, this is the preface of China-German cooperation. There is an old saying in China that helps the strong but not the weak. If we are the Adou who cannot help, the Germans will be really disappointed. Britain and France seem to be in the evening, but the strength of these two countries should not be underestimated. Without the competition from Germany before the war, they will soon be stubborn and recovered from the trauma caused by the war. The Germans cannot see this, so they keep trying to support a Soviet Russia in the West and a China in the East. In fact, Germany will not support me for too long. Once Britain and France recover their national strength in two or three years, the Americans should not sit still. They will definitely find ways to make Germany stronger and balance the situation in Europe. Until the United States does not need to take action, the British will start to have a fight with the French!

The French now regard themselves as the boss of the European continent, which makes it very uncomfortable for British and French people, so a limited and powerful Germany is in the interests of the British. So the good time between us and the Germans is in the past two or three years. Now the Germans should be willing to cooperate and cooperate, and they have to cooperate without cooperation. They hesitate and have no choice. As for two or three years later, that is when we cooperate fully with the United States. In the battle, the United States won the largest piece of cake in the world, but they did not get a matching political status, which made the Americans very angry. The world's most powerful country has no status as the most powerful country. This is contrary to the law of obeying the strong in the West.

At that time, the United States will be like the Germans. I hope we will become stronger in Asia, and the Soviet Union and Germany will become stronger in Europe."

Gu Weijun thought about it and shook his head and asked, "Is this any benefit to the United States? Americans have always adhered to the principle of interests first. Europe is an industrial power, especially Germany. Once the Germans recover, they will definitely compete with the United States on industrial products. This is equivalent to cultivating a strong competitor for the United States."

"Yes, Germany will have a certain impact on American industrial products when it becomes stronger, but I think that the first impact of Germany is definitely not the United States, but Britain and France. This is equivalent to splitting the European power into three and four forces. The first stock is Britain and France, the second stock is Germany and Russia, and the third stock is a country led by Italy. In this way, we will return to the situation before World War I, which is the most favorable situation for the United States. The United States has a unique position. America is also the American America. Germany and Russia are also strong in Europe. It is also strong in Asia.

China is good, and there are countries that have balanced confrontation, and the United States can be among the forces that confront the two sides. If Germany is united and strong, they will help Britain. If Britain is strong, they will help Germany. If China is strong, the United States will help Japan. If Japan is strong, the United States will help us China again. In this way, all countries dare not offend the United States, fearing to push the United States to its own opposite. Only by doing their best to win over the United States, the United States will not only gain economic benefits, but also political benefits. Americans are really good at doing business. This is a dignified and open plot."

"What a clever and erectile strait! It seems that there are experts in the United States!" Wang Yongjiang said with his beard.

Li Changgeng shook his head and smiled, "What a clever way of doing things? Maybe Americans don't have the calculations I just mentioned, but I want to believe that Americans will know the benefits of doing this in a long time. This thing is not so much a conspiracy as a national destiny!"

As soon as Li Changgeng finished speaking, everyone was silent. Luck is invisible and intangible. He said it did not exist, but some things really cannot be explained. Huang Ying broke the silence situation, "Oh, let's take a look at the moment first. Since the chairman has judged the future situation, it is possible to break the situation. Didn't the chairman say that it would take at least two or three years to deal with the Germans now! I just thought about it. Guangzhou's taxes this year still have 30 million taels of silver that have not been handed over to the national treasury. If everyone agrees, we might as well use this money to trade with the Germans!"

Wang Yongjiang is also engaged in the economy and has a relatively familiar relationship with Huang Ying. He asked: "Will it affect this year's fiscal budget?"

Huang Ying smiled proudly and said, "I just thought of a solution, that is, we will replace this year's talent budget with issuing bonds. Our current fiscal system is too conservative and there is no such thing as a fiscal deficit. In fact, fiscal deficit is a very good financial management method, especially for countries like us who are in an industrial rising period."

Wang Yongjiang has not yet reflected it, but Li Changgeng's mind lit up. The fiscal deficit is the difference formed by fiscal expenditure greater than fiscal revenue. Since it is treated in red in accounting, it is called a fiscal deficit. It reflects the income and expenditure status of a government. The fiscal deficit is a manifestation of the failure of fiscal revenue and expenditure to achieve balance, and it is a global fiscal phenomenon in the future. The fiscal deficit is the budget deficit, which refers to the deficit that a government has in the budget preparation at the beginning of each fiscal year. If the conclusion is actually implemented

If income is greater than expenditure, it is fiscal surplus. Every dynasty in China has always been a disaster for fiscal deficits, and the income of the treasury depends on fiscal surplus. The fiscal deficit can stimulate economic growth within a certain limit. When residents' consumption is insufficient, the government usually acts to increase government investment to drive economic growth, but this is by no means a long-term solution. Now, the United States in the world regards fiscal deficits as a kind of wealth, and other countries are very vigilant about fiscal deficits.

China is now in the development stage, and the appropriate fiscal deficit can be well digested by the social manuli of domestic industrial development! Looking at Li Changgeng's annoyed expression, Huang Ying said apologetically: "I'm sorry, Chairman, I may have expressed my recklessness!"

"Don't say it anymore, I'm just angry that I didn't expect this. We are a little too brave and have taken too little steps. We haven't made good use of the fiscal deficit. It seems that we need to reassess China's ability to use the fiscal deficit."

After hearing Li Changgeng's words, Wang Yongjiang said nervously: "The fiscal deficit is actually the food for the son, and the final result can only be to increase taxes to supplement it. This--!"

Li Changgeng smiled: "Brother Minyuan, you are looking at the fiscal deficit with the financial system of feudal society. Your concern does not exist in the current industrial society. If you think about the annual fiscal growth in our Northeast in recent years, it is not difficult to compare that the fiscal budget of the agricultural society has not changed much for hundreds of years. But when we enter the industrial society, our Northeast's annual fiscal budget will grow at a growth rate of 20%. This does not rule out that we implement a low-tax policy for industry and commerce. If we add 20% of the growth rate of the next year to the next year. Government fiscal expenditure, then the government's fiscal expenditure amount that year will be more than 20%. The additional 20% can be invested in the national capital operation market in advance. It is a good medicine for money to make money!"

"Chairman, you said it very well. Now the whole world is implementing a monetary tightening policy. Our country implements an appropriate monetary easing policy. It can effectively offset the risk of our additional currency issuance!"

Guo Donglin looked at Huang Ying. Seeing that she was looking down on her head to plan the available deficit, she knew it was time for her to speak. He was the Minister of Industry. He was the specific person in charge of the national five-year industrial plan. Cooperating with the Germans in those aspects is the key to mastering the overall situation. Guo Donglin continued to show his attitude first, and asked Li Changgeng respectfully: "I don't know what preface or instructions the Chairman has for our cooperation with Germany!"

Li Changgeng smiled, very satisfied with Guo Donglin's attitude towards being an official: "You are the Minister of Industry, and you are the expert in managing industry. I, an outsider, will not express my opinions first. You are talking about a constitution, and everyone who is sitting here will gather ideas?"

After saying that, Li Changgeng glanced at him with trust for a week, allowing everyone sitting to feel Li Changgeng's trust and importance to him.

Guo Donglin understood Li Changgeng's meaning and said, "Before World War I, Germany was the most economic and industrial country in Europe. Before World War I, Germany's machine production exceeded the total of the machinery production of Britain, France and Russia. Germany had 30 arms factories, with 180,000 workers, and the largest private factory, Krupp, had 80,000 workers. Germany ranked first in the world in metallurgy, chemical, energy, machinery and other industries. Although Germany was defeated in World War I, Germany still had the most advanced industrial technology resources in the world. For China, this is a big gold mine. Before that, we had cooperated with Germany for more than two years. These cooperations have benefited China a lot and confirmed this.

Although we also made money in the war during the First World War, our weakness is that the things that make money are won by manpower, or by production and processing to make profits. It looks good, but this is just a castle on the sand pile and cannot withstand any storm. As the chairman said, now we are complacent, and once we wait for the powerful countries such as Britain and France to recover, nothing will be gone!

Why do Germans have such a big difference in attitudes before and after seeing us designing 10,000-ton hydraulic presses? Is our engine factory not advanced? Are our aircraft manufacturing factories weaker than Germans? None of them are. Our engine factories are bigger than Germans' engine factories, and our aircraft manufacturing is also more advanced than Germans. But the reason why the Germans disdain this is because we are using their German technology and machines. As long as the Germans have the chance to turn things around, they can definitely come up with something more advanced than us to surpass us.

That's why they disdained. But when they saw the strength of China's self-designed 10,000-ton hydraulic presses, why did their attitude change? Because they saw that we Chinese could use our own abilities to create industrial heavy equipment. This thing represents the industrial heritage of a country. With this thing, the Germans were eager to meet the chairman and talk about cooperation with us, because they saw that if they didn't cooperate with us now and wait for our workers to develop in the future, they would have fewer opportunities to cooperate.

This is true. The Chairman launched the Northeast Industrial Battle for 100 days, which seems to be a quick success, but in fact, Northeast Industrial has the foundation for this jump. Even if we do not cooperate with the Germans, and with another ten years of development, we can achieve or even surpass the industrial achievements of the Germans today, but what we lack now is the time to develop industry. This is also the urgency of the Germans when they see our students diligently studying in school. I have a table for German industrial procurement equipment here, please take a look!"

After Guo Donglin said that, he took out a few forms and sent them to everyone attending the meeting. Li Changgeng first got the form and glanced at it. Before anyone could speak, he said, "Just negotiate according to Donglin's procurement form, Qingque (yellow-eyed) prepared me a budget of 20 million taels of silver!"

Huang Ying did not rush to answer Li Changgeng's words, but focused on Guo Donglin's procurement form and said, "Chairman, I should be able to reserve a budget of 30 million taels of silver for you."

"Well, there is no need to force this. If there are some things that the Germans are unwilling to sell us, we will have the backup of the Americans. Tomorrow is the time for us to fight against the Germans, and everyone will be fully energetic. There is nothing to do - a meeting!"
