Ruth's topic about Made in China in the Wall Street Journal has attracted the attention of many Americans, but this kind of attention that has attracted seems to be guided by an invisible force. A billboard is played in front of many Chinese supermarkets. Only when you have Made in China will your life be better.

Many newspapers are also praising Chinese-made products, and many Americans have a topic of chatting with each other. What kind of products do you have in your home are made in China. Everyone has a comparison in their hearts. As a result, the Chinese-made products reported by Ruth not only did not arouse Americans’ vigilance, but instead made Chinese-made products a fashionable term in the United States. Of course, all this cannot be separated from the commercial public relations of the Chinese Federation of Industry and Commerce in the United States.

Hundreds of thousands of Americans welcomed Li Changgeng's visit at the dock, which was also because of the clever hype of the public relations department of the China Federation of Industry and Commerce in the United States. Starting from the fleet visited by Li Changgeng, this fleet was personally commanded by the commander of the Chinese Navy Chen Honglie. The fleet consists of three emperor-class battleships with a displacement of 27,000 tons, namely the Shihuang Emperor, Taizong Emperor and Hanwu Emperor. The six 16,000-ton Yuanzi-class battlecruisers are Jingyuan, Laiyuan, Jingyuan, and Weiyuan. Yuan and Fuyuan, twelve city-class 7,000-ton large destroyers, namely Beijing, Nanjing, Shanghai, Harbin, Tianjin, Wuhan, Shenyang, Guangzhou, Chongqing, Tingzhou, Changchun and Baoding. Two 20,000-ton provincial capital-class aircraft carriers, namely Heilongjiang and Liaoning. Two 200 million-ton medical supply ships Taihu and Dongting Lake. Two 11,000-ton river-class dock landing ships. The Yangtze River and the Yellow River.

Such a large fleet is called the Great White Fleet by the world, and the Chinese call it the Pacific Fleet. The battleship of the First Emperor is the flagship of this fleet. The fleet has already entered the port of New York. Li Changgeng stood on the bridge and looked at the port dock in the distance, thinking about the meeting with Hoover in his heart. If American history has not changed, he will become the new president of the United States tomorrow. Li Changgeng has invested a lot of money in this president.

It has been six years since the two met in China in 1922. During these six years, Hoover would get a large amount of money from Li Changgeng every year. Of course, the money was given very cleverly. For example, Li Changgeng established a bag company, which contained Hoover's shares. In this way, Hoover could get a share dividend from the company every year.

Coolidge's prosperity in the United States is about to reach its peak. Li Changgeng wants to take advantage of the opportunity to celebrate the election of the new US president and withdraw the funds invested by China in the US market in recent years to a certain extent, but this matter requires Hoover's energy to complete. The economic crisis triggered by speculation in the US Wall Street stock market in 1929 is very likely to be triggered in advance with China's withdrawal. Of course, the Chinese cannot take the blame, so who will take the blame?

Several capable countries in the world will definitely not be fooled, and several capable super families may not be able to do it. These people are old foxes who will not fall into this trap. Even if they take the blame for China this time, they may have a lot of enemies in the future and will not suffer any loss.

Who is suitable? Li Changgeng has no intention of enjoying the scenery of New York Harbor. Chen Honglie, who was standing next to Li Changgeng, saw that he was thinking, and said, "President, do you need to prepare? You will be docked soon."

"Nothing prepared, this is not the first country we visited."

"Yes. I still miss the enthusiasm of the Germans."

"Haha, there is no Yongheng friendship or Yongheng hatred between countries. There is only Yongheng's interests. A politician should never have such fantasies in his heart."

"Yi Lie understands!"

Li Changgeng suddenly had an idea, and politicians would not have such fantasies in their hearts. But the people would have it! There is a blame for it, that is the American people. It seems that he doesn't mind adding fire to the US stock market.

It is difficult for Chen Honglie to understand Li Changgeng's superior intention, but this will undoubtedly make him feel unpredictable. It has been more than a year since Li Changgeng became the president of the Republic of China. During this period, many officials from the border area persuaded him to advance. However, Li Changgeng rejected it without hesitation, which disappointed many people and made many people happy. However, the close ministers around Li Changgeng did not relax at all, and it became increasingly difficult to understand Li Changgeng's superior intention.

This unpredictable feeling makes people feel chilled when they recall it. This man who controlled the power of this country at the age of 30 is no longer different from the emperor in terms of power. The only difference is that the president is not hereditary. But it doesn't seem difficult for him to do this, and Li Changgeng doesn't need to do this at this age.

However, the group of people led by Yang Du had other ideas and could not persuade them to enter, so they would become teachers. Li Changgeng's two sons, Li Wuji, had already become a teacher with Yang Du and Liang Rengong, so the prestige of these two people rose like a plane, forming a very large political circle. Li Changgeng did not express any opinions on these two political circles, and even made this global visit in order to avoid this matter.

This made all the officials in China think of various things. Of course, Li Changgeng's two sons are also quite smart. This is also one of the reasons why Yang Du and Liang Qichao are sought after.

Li Changgeng was not very concerned about the crown prince. First, he was still young, second, he had to grasp the direction of the country in the next fifty years, and third, he did not think that it was a good thing for his children to become presidents or emperors. The future is the era when the economy is king, and he has established an economic empire, which is enough to give future generations great voice in this country.

But Li Changgeng's current power stability is to allow his officials to form a balance between political forces. Then the most effective political balance is the establishment of the core of interest groups. At present, the thoughts of Chinese officials have not emerged from the influence of the feudal dynasty. They stubbornly believe that only by supporting a crown prince can their interests be most favorable guaranteed, and the shelf life of this kind of guarantee is very long. The shelf life of a democratically elected president is only ten years long. This time is too short. This is not in line with the interests of officials under the official-oriented thinking!

Therefore, the two political forces of Yang Du and Liang Qichao grew rapidly. Now many officials have called Li Wuji the eldest prince and Li Wuji the young prince in private communication. But this voice is seriously eliminated in the army, and there can only be one person who can loyalty to the army. That is Li Changgeng. Whoever dares to have such thoughts will be immediately eliminated by Li Changgeng.

Yang Du and Liang Qichao also knew the bottom line that Li Changgeng set for them and had never dared to extend their hands to the army. But they soon discovered another force, which was the domestic giants and merchants. This force was too great, and their interests were very consistent with those of officials. Yang Du had the foundation for governing the Northeast, and the great wealthy people in the Northeast naturally stood on his side. Liang Qichao had a high prestige in the south, and the giants with Guangdong and Guangxi were also betting on his side. The Jiangsu and Zhejiang clans in the central part were waiting and betting. However, these people could not bear the pressure from the north and south. There were signs of softness, but Li Changgeng protected these clans as his trump card and betting.

It is the rise and balance of the three domestic political forces that have also made Li Changgeng calm down for this global visit. One is to promote the prestige of the country, and the other is to give the three domestic forces a time to settle and stabilize. This is great. If the three forces want to make a breakthrough, they must show their achievements and suppress the other side, which is of positive significance to the entire China.

Although the army was blocked by the firewall set up by Li Changgeng, as a senior general like Chen Honglie, he had the intention to move closer to these three political forces. This benefit was too great. He had a strong desire, but he did not dare to step beyond the line. This led to him becoming more and more afraid of Li Changgeng.

It was not just fear, but Shen Honglie also felt indescribable gratitude to Li Changgeng. As a survivor of the former Qing Dynasty Beiyang Fleet, if Li Changgeng had not appeared, he would have been able to command a 7,000-ton destroyer in his lifetime. But now he can command a super luxurious fleet of 27 large and small ships, and sailing around the world is undoubtedly the pinnacle of his military career and has been written into the history of the world's navy.

Six years later, the Chinese Navy has been established with the whole country's strength. This is the happiest moment for Chinese naval officers. People across the country stare at the newspaper every day, hoping that the warship will be launched again. The Japanese Navy visits China every year. Every time they come, their faces turn darker. On the contrary, the Chinese navy's eyes look at the Japanese navy are shining brighter and brighter. Japan is restricted by the Washington Treaty and cannot expand its fleet. In addition, Japan's overseas trade is being suppressed by China, which has led to Japan's economy becoming increasingly sluggish. The establishment of the Pacific Global Fleet made the Japanese Navy even more frightened. There are already voices in Japan clamoring that they are threatened by the Chinese Navy and do not have to implement the Washington Navy's Treaty. They are working hard to build ships and fight for the decisive battle with the Chinese Navy in the next battle.

Chen Honglie sneered at the Japanese's clamor. The Republic of China is not the Qing Dynasty of that year. The strength of the Beiyang Fleet was bought from the hands of the great powers with money, and every warship in the Chinese Pacific Fleet was produced from the Chinese's own ship platform. The Navy's General Staff used a secret analysis that by wartime, China's shipbuilding ability would be twice as good as it is now. Because China has a large number of civil docks that can meet the standards for producing warships. If the Chinese Navy completes the model, it will be twice as good as it is now. Because China has a large number of civil docks that can meet the standards for producing warships. In terms of block production, China's shipbuilding speed will be overturned on this basis. Now the Sino-German Navy Cooperation Design Institute is designing a super-Defensive-class battleship with a displacement of 40,000 tons and a main gun caliber of 380 mm and 55 times the tube. Keeling can be laid by 1930. The 40,000-ton aircraft carrier is already completed and will be laid next year. This overwhelming ability to build a ship gives Chen Honglie enough confidence to despise the Japanese Navy.

With the slight shaking of the First Emperor, the warship was docked on the berth of the dock. The crowds of people who were welcomed by the dock looked at the huge fleet and felt a sense of respect. The mid-* ship was not only huge in shape, but also beautiful in style. Although the First Emperor was designed and produced according to the German Caesar-class battleship, the design changes made at the bow and the island, the slender bow and the central island looked very coordinated. It was matched with pure white paint, and it looked particularly energetic. There were also Chinese naval officers and soldiers standing straight on the warship and wearing pure white uniforms, which attracted the attention of the American people.

As Li Changgeng and his entourage walked down the gangway, cheers from the dock entered. Coolidge led his accompanying staff to shake hands and hug Li Changgeng. Over the years, they often communicated with letters and telegrams, and their personal relationships were very good. Li Changgeng felt Coolidge's body weakening and said in a slightly sad tone: "Little John, you are old. When I came, I was still thinking, why don't you persist? You have led the United States to a strong force that you have never been before. It seems that your body is a bit bad!"

Coolidge shook his head and said, "It's not just my physical problem, but the main reason is that the US president can only be re-elected in both worlds. I don't want to break this rule. Although I am only one and half presidents!"

"I understand what you mean, you are great, and the American people will always remember you!"

"Thanks!"

The two had a very brief and intimate conversation. Many Americans saw it and immediately made them feel more fond of Li Changgeng. Then Li Changgeng's followers shook hands with the American officials to meet each other. Then they played the national anthems of China and the United States, reviewed the guard of honor, and whistled the salute twenty-one. This etiquette has been recognized by the whole world and imitated!

At this time, three Li Changgeng's cars were unloaded from the Taihu supply ship, the presidential-class red flag sedan. This kind of car is very well-known worldwide because it is only the highest-level car in China and never takes out one. Another function is that it is to be treated as a national gift for China and given to the royal families and heads of state. Some people joked that if the Grand Duke Ferdinand of the Austro-Hungarian Empire was riding a red flag sedan, the battle might not have broken out!

Of course this is just a joke. Even if Ferdinand was assassinated, it would still break out. This joke is just a free advertisement for the Hongqi sedan. Li Changgeng's Red Flag sedan also has another name, Army No. 1. All three cars are called Army No. 1. Li Changgeng took that car. That one is the real Army No. 1, and he made a temporary decision on the car.

Coolidge is about to step down as president and is not calling for some rules. He and Li Changgeng got into a red flag sedan and talked.

The Hongqi sedan has a very high recognition in the United States, but it is rare to see the presidential Red Flag sedan. Although Coolidge has a car collected in the Washington Museum, many New Yorkers have seen this legendary luxury car for the first time. The slender black body, the straight waterfall front grille of China's original straight waterfall, the round headlights face a pair of cute eyes, and the lampshade on the headlights faces long eyelashes. The red flag logo on the front of the car makes people feel the majesty and solemnity of the car. The moment the Hongqi sedan drove out of the dock, it was captured by an American amateur photographer. The front side of the Hongqi sedan in the foreground is set against the background of the First Emperor and the cheering crowd. This photo was bought out by the Wall Street Journal at a sky-high price of 2,000 US dollars.

Coolidge said to Li Changgeng in the car: "I am still impressed by the scenery of China. Now I often open the photos I took when I visited China."

"If you like China, if you like it, you can take your family to travel to China after he stepped down. China has changed a lot in recent years. As an old friend of the Chinese people, I sincerely invite you to China."

"Okay, I will definitely go if time allows me. By the way, I have something to tell you in advance. Another old friend of yours, Hoover, is a popular candidate for the president of this world. When I came, he specifically told me to apologize to you. He is currently working on the election with all his might."

"I think when we met, he was already the president of the United States. It seems that there is a destiny in the dark. The chance of visiting Chinese politicians after returning to China has increased greatly. After Marshal Hindenburg visited China, he has now become the president of Germany. After Lenin visited China, he became the chairman of the Soviet Union. After Stalin visited China, he took over Lenin's position. You also became the president of the United States shortly after returning to China. If Mr. Clark became the president of the United States, I think visiting China would be something that politicians from all over the world are rushing to do first."

After hearing Li Changgeng's words, Coolidge also felt very unison. He smiled and said, "I'm not sure about other countries, but American politicians will definitely be keen on visiting China. Because the relationship between China and the United States is too close now, the annual trade volume between our two countries exceeds 2 billion US dollars. This year it is setting a new high!"

"Yes, good trade depends on the mutual trust between the two countries, which comes from the regular political exchanges between the two countries. This exchange can give us a very clear understanding of each other's needs. This time I came here to bring a very large purchase order to the Americans."

After listening to Li Changgeng's words, Coolidge thought for a while and said, "Li, I am very worried about the current stock market in the United States! I know you are an expert in economics, and I really want to hear your ideas and suggestions!"

"John, I'm glad you can ask me such questions because you treat me as a friend, not the head of another country. I'm also very concerned about the excessive inflation of the US stock market. The US stock market has formed this way today. There are several great reasons for the formation of this. First, after the war, the United States received a large amount of funds, which became national dividends and flowed into the hands of the American people, which greatly stimulated the consumption of the American people. The large amount of consumption of the American people has stimulated the rapid development of American industry and commerce. Second, Xiao John, your economic policy of governing inaction has attracted a large amount of overseas capital. I call these capitals international hot money, and these capitals have strong speculation when entering the United States. Then the best environment for absorbing these hot money is the stock market. Although the US stock market is expanding a bit excessively, it is still safe. I think there are three ways to deal with it." (To be continued)
