Chapter 45 The Republic of China government has concerns
The representative of the National Government who attended this meeting was Tan Yankai, the then Executive President, while the South China Sea Federation was led by Vice President Xu Zengliang. Originally, Liu Fu planned to see Bald Jiang in person, but the Chairman of the National Government did not go there in person.
When Liu Fu came to attend this meeting, he decided not to cause trouble himself and let the delegations from both sides negotiate.
Although the island of Taiwan is said to be returned, the federal government does not impose any conditions. After all, Taiwan has been constructed under the management of the federal government for more than ten years. Although large industrial and mining enterprises have been relocated, including railways, highways,
Infrastructure such as water conservancy, irrigation facilities, and power networks are still there, and the large ports of Keelung, Hualien, Hsinchu, and Erythronium alone are worth a lot of money.
The conditions proposed by the federal government are not harsh. The federal government suggests that after Taiwan is returned to the National Government, it can exist as a trade zone between the two countries. In this special zone, both parties will jointly build factories and processing enterprises, and the products will be sold to the mainland.
, In this way, it can not only solve a lot of unemployed people in China, but also gradually cultivate a group of China's own industrial workers, and the federation will also get a lot of benefits, first of all, it will facilitate the investment of federal businessmen, and secondly, it will also partially
Solved the problem of sales of federal export goods.
Before Tan Yankai set off, he and Bald Jiang privately discussed the issue of the South China Sea Federation's initiative to return Taiwan Island, and finally came to the conclusion that as long as the conditions of the South China Sea Federation were not too harsh and the National Government could afford it, then it would do whatever it takes.
The price is to take back the island of Taiwan.
In fact, classmate Jiang Baldy is not sure what the South China Sea Federal Government is going to do. In the years when he reached the peak of politics, he was still very concerned about the South China Sea Federation, a world power around him. From the beginning, he supported Liu Yongdian on Hainan Island to dominate Shi.
Starting from the Lu Iron Mine, the South China Sea Federation has attracted the attention of some people. Then the Federation drove away the French and Dutch in one fell swoop, and then occupied the Philippines. These things happening on the doorstep of China cannot fail to attract the attention of these Chinese politicians.
.
Later, the Federal Navy fought against the British and American fleets and won a great victory, becoming a world power that could compete with European and American powers. Even a blind man could not ignore such a big country. However, in Jiang Guangtou's view, this country.
It is a very difficult and strange country to contact. Although the South China Sea Federation can be considered a Chinese country, its behavior is completely different from that of mainland China.
First of all, the government of this country has always been aloof from mainland China. It neither supports any warlord on the mainland nor completely stays out of the world. This can be seen from the policies it formulates. Since the federal government occupied
After the Strait of Malacca, all foreign interference in China was cut off, including the embargo on arms and cigarettes, while mainland China’s merchant ships
If you are found carrying weapons or smoke in federal waters, you will also be punished by federal law. In this regard, the federal government appears to be very unkind. As long as those smugglers are involved in the two goods of weapons and smoke, the main personnel
Basically, they will be sentenced to death and shot directly in the federal territory, and the accomplices will also serve hard labor in the federal territory for many years before being sent back to China.
At that time, because of this matter, almost half of the country's warlords suffered this kind of dumb loss. Not only did they not get their money back for the goods, but they also shot people and goods, served hard labor, confiscated and destroyed them, and made the warlords miserable.
Complaints abound that war requires weapons and military pay. Without the smuggling of weapons and the smuggling of tobacco and soil, these warlords would have a lot of money.
But it's useless to complain anymore. The warlord didn't dare to jump out and accuse the federal government of doing something wrong. The arms and opium embargo is also justified internationally, and the federal government does this not only to Chinese ships, but also to people from that country.
Or if a ship is discovered, it will be shot and confiscated without any hesitation.
Even British businessmen are the same, so after one year of implementation of this federal policy, no one dares to transport weapons and tobacco to mainland China anymore. The cost is too high, no matter how much money you pay, there will be no
If the ship dares to transport it to you, it's really stupid. If you are caught, the first person to be shot will be the captain.
Without sufficient weapons and smoke, the warlords expanded their armies at a much slower pace, and the intensity of their battles with each other was also much lower. Some warlords had to restore services such as sword brigades and cavalry from the cold weapon period.
Although the federal government has such strict restrictions on weapons and tobacco, it basically has no restrictions on other goods. Federal merchants used sea ships to bring in shiploads of fabrics, cigarettes, soap, kerosene, and hardware.
Building materials, bicycles, sewing machines, radios, and cars are then distributed through local merchants in the mainland, and the business has reached almost every seaport.
Warlords in various places want to control but are unable to control it, so they forcibly ban it. Not only can these things make money, but they are also afraid of retaliation from the federal government if they cause lives. According to rumors, this federal government is very protective and often pretends to protect Chinese or expatriates.
Waging war on the pretext of safety. No matter what, seeing these federal businessmen contentedly making money while having their weapons and cigarettes confiscated by the federal government makes me really angry.
In Baldy Jiang's hometown, in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas, many people have made a fortune selling federal goods in recent years, and there are also some federal businessmen who have built some factories locally, and the business is very prosperous. And those federal businessmen are 100%
The Chinese, the last ones who came to Nanyang to find a way to survive, were their grandfathers.
The rules in the national officialdom are very familiar. Everywhere they go, they will always find the leading figure here and get him through various means, and then start to build factories or open trading companies in the local area. Even many people in the National Government
The boss’s family members are all more or less engaged in this kind of trading activities.
And last year, the federal government was about to cut the knot. Within a few months, it wiped out the country across the sea. It is said that many cities there were bombed and no one was alive. A kind of federal
It is no longer a myth that a weapon called an airplane can destroy several cities in one day.
When the Nationalist Government, which had just won the Northern Expedition, heard the news, it was so frightened that it dared not speak out. The distance from Taiwan to Japan was enough for federal aircraft to fly north of the Yangtze River in China, covering most of China.
The entire territory is under the shadow of this kind of aircraft.
There have been several discussions on this issue within the National Government. The content of the discussion was what to do if the South China Sea Federation launched an attack on mainland China! As a result, after many discussions, there was no way but to run, to this kind of aircraft.
Go somewhere where you can't fly, or hide in the mountains. According to the current armed forces of the National Government, there is no strength to compete.
At this time, the South China Sea Federation suddenly wanted to return Taiwan Island, which made the Nationalist Government really overjoyed. Without Taiwan Island, federal planes have recently taken off from Anbei Province, so the distance is much farther. Western China
They are all mountains and sparsely populated. If you want to blow them up, you can blow them up. At most, Yunnan, Guizhou, and Guangxi provinces will be unlucky. Therefore, the Kuomintang quickly reached a unified opinion that Taiwan must be taken back!!!
However, Bald Jiang did not view this issue that way. If the South China Sea Federation wanted to attack mainland China, it would not wait until this time. That kind of aircraft was definitely not specially developed for bombing R himself. It should have been available for a long time. Therefore, between the two countries
There is no problem of war in the short term, as long as the Nationalist Government does not provoke a war in the first place.
In fact, this is nonsense. If the Nationalist Government wants to provoke a war, what will it do? Rely on these small gunboats in the hands of the Nationalist Government? It is estimated that they will all sink in the sea before they reach the federal territory. The only one that may cause
The disputes between the two parties are those businessmen of the Federation. Those profiteers who want money rather than life will do anything for business. If they offend the local boss, it will be really difficult to deal with someone's life or something.
