,

When the spn Germans came, Zhang Shusheng was quite concerned.

"Chairman, those Germans were shocked from the moment they got off the plane to the hotel where they stayed. Some Germans couldn't help but repeatedly asked our staff questions."

In the office of the head of state, Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs Ouyang Ming was telling interesting stories about receiving the Germans. Yesterday, as the chief receptionist of the Chinese side, he gained a lot of face.

Foreign Minister Li Zongren, Premier Zhou Guolai, Chief of General Staff Jiang Baili, Defense Minister Cai E and others all smiled and nodded slightly.

"Ribbentrop said that compared to when he came two years ago, the Hanking he saw did not seem like it had only been two years, but as if it had been ten years." Ouyang Ming said with emotion.

, as a senior official of the "government" of the Republic, it is something to be very proud of to have the foreign minister of an important country in the world shocked by the development of the Republic.[

Zhang Shusheng took a sip of tea and said with a smile, "The Germans are not just envious and shocked, they may also be unbalanced in their hearts. This imbalance can be said to be deep jealousy. If Hitler came to China in person, he might

We will no longer think that we are just whitewashing the peace and doing superficial things."

In the thirteen years since the founding of the People's Republic of China, Zhang Shusheng has actually been opposed to extravagance and image projects. After all, it is unacceptable if people live in dire straits, while officials and politicians live in false prosperity, lying on the people and absorbing the people's fat and anointing.

Forgiving.

If we engage in extravagance and image engineering at the highest level of the country, it will only cause the entire political system to collapse overnight and change the atmosphere of the officialdom in an instant.

Since ancient times, a common problem among Chinese people is that they love to take advantage of the public. You take it, I take it, everyone takes it, you eat it, I eat it, everyone eats it. Anyway, it does not belong to the individual, the country, the collective, or the company...

This is not because the Chinese people are ignorant, but because the Chinese people are too smart. Everyone has a little kid in their heart, and it is even easier to do things like scheming against the public.

Therefore, Zhang Shusheng has always advocated putting the people first and practicality first. All public expenditures should be announced to the outside world, and the government affairs supervision department should be independent to strictly investigate deadlocks. Those who dare to report will be given very high rewards and absolute protection.

Until 1944, Hanking, the capital of the country, did not receive much financial budget tilt because it was the capital.

The capital, the capital, maybe others think that the capital must be full of flowers, that the capital must be ostentatious, and that the capital must be tilted in all aspects from education to budget. Why? There is no reason for all this. In the many people of the Republic

Among the big cities, the most prosperous place was not Hanking. At least before 1944, the most prosperous places were several cities in the southwest. Even now

, the big cities in China are also at a similar level. The capital city of Hanking, the southwestern city of Chengdu, Chongqing, Yibin, Kunming, and Dongchuan benefit from the industrial foundation, high technology and educational and cultural foundation laid decades ago, and they are all developing very well.

Other places such as Hong Kong, Taipei, Hanzhong City in Hanzhong Province, Peiping, Shanghai and other places are also developing very fast and have caught up with the economic "tide".

Zhang Shusheng has always advocated the theory of racial justice, advocating that urban development should be driven by economics rather than policies. Although the results of policy actions can be spurred on in the short term, in the long run they will only cause huge unfairness, wealth gaps, and people's

hate each other.

We are all descendants of the Chinese nation. Could it be that just because one was born in Qinghai and the other was born in the coast, we can have different races and different fates?

Of course, Zhang Shusheng also admitted that economic development will inevitably lead to different fates to a certain extent. Casting the wrong child has always been a kind of fatalism among the Chinese people. However, the "government" can do some policy fairness.

to make up for this unfair gap.

For example, the education construction system of the Republic requires that teaching buildings in various places must maintain the same standards. The only difference is the size, whether special earthquake resistance needs to be strengthened, etc. For example, the school in Hanking, the primary school has a standard large sports ground, then

, schools in Qinghai will have the same standard facilities. Other standards such as student boarding and lodging standards, student nutritional supplement standards, and free supply of teaching supplies are all the same. Want something different? Yes, you can pay for it yourself.

This point comes from Zhang Shusheng’s personal experience. When he was a child, the classroom where he went to school was open on all sides, with no glass and only iron bars. It was really cold in winter and hot in summer, with no protection from wind and rain. Once it rained, the mud floor in the classroom would become

It was muddy, and during class, I had to do a lot of moving the dilapidated tables that had been eliminated several times in other city schools to avoid the wind and rain.

However, the illustrations in the class textbook show a bright and clean classroom with beautifully dressed students, which is a huge irony.

Therefore, Zhang Shusheng believes that on the premise that he can make the decision, he must maintain fair policies. Of course, there are also some difficulties in implementing these systems. For example, in some particularly remote places in the early years, it was more difficult to implement fair policies, but later

With the continuous immigration and large-scale out-migration from poor and remote areas, this situation has been greatly improved.

According to Zhang Shusheng's idea, yes, your ancestors may have been poor for generations. They may have never even left the county seat, or even been there. They may not even be able to buy a piece of clothing in the five years before the new regime.

, but what does this have to do with anything? What does this have to do with you? Was it because you were born in the wrong child? No!

The "Government" can let you sit in a spacious classroom, the "Government" can let you eat well and wear warm clothes, the "Government" can let you study without paying tuition, the "Government" can force you to legislate to receive education,

The "government" can also give you the fairest college entrance examination. Even if you are really not good at it, you can still go to a technical school, go to a special school, or work as a worker to contribute to the construction of the entire country that is in full swing.

These are not particularly difficult. Officials can eat less and buy one less car for each unit. The difficulty in spreading the system is not that it is difficult in other places, but that it is not done at the beginning and the country does not pay enough attention.

This is also the reason why the Republic has invested so much in education and people’s livelihood but does not hesitate to persevere.[

The topic returns to the development of Hanking. It is indeed not a financial tilt, but an inevitable result of economic development. The entire Hanking has completely become the heart of the Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai regions. While connecting the south and the north, it radiates to almost three sides.

Two-thirds of the Yangtze River Basin.

This time the Germans visited China, but they caught up with China's fastest development in the past few years after its reunification. Even Ribbentrop was shocked. One can imagine how fast China has developed.

For example, when the Germans saw Hanking, in addition to the optimized urban design, Zhang Shusheng also added some more convenient municipal designs that were proven in his time, which was ahead of its time.

"The Germans seem to be very confident this time. Ribbentrop met with me early this morning. Although he did not reveal any trump cards during this meeting, he vaguely hinted that we must use the trump cards they gave us.

I will agree."

Li Zongren lamented that the Germans have always been relatively generous in dealing with China. Although Germany cannot expect China to provide assistance to Germany in the same way that the United States provides support, the Germans have always been willing to do so when they are reciprocal or even slightly disadvantaged.

Come up with good things to please China.

"Since you are confident, you should have a good talk with them. The entire Far East problem is about to be solved, only the final battle is needed. Half of the Soviet Union falls into our hands. In addition to the ongoing war in Southeast Asia, our strength can basically be freed up.

Already."

Zhang Shusheng smiled and instructed, which set a tone for the negotiation. It depends on the Germans' cards to negotiate. The other party is here to ask for help. Let's see what we do.

At the same time, at the Hanking Hotel where the Germans were staying, the Germans were also discussing the new China in front of them.

Ribbentrop was chatting with the deputy negotiator and Lieutenant General Heisenberg, Hitler's senior adviser, on the small terrace about what he had learned during his trip.

"Mr. Minister, frankly speaking, my trip to China gave me many surprises and shocks. In addition to their amazing airplanes and airports, the scale and modernization of the entire city of Hanking have far exceeded that of Berlin. Many things reflect this

Innovation and advancement reflect strong economic strength." This was Lieutenant General Heisenberg's first visit to China, and he encountered so many surprising things. He originally thought that even if China caught up from behind, it would only be about the same as Berlin. Unexpectedly,

The gap in turn is so huge. If nothing else is mentioned, the traffic lights at each street intersection are also found in Berlin and other cities in Germany, but they are clumsy, backward and impractical. On the other hand, the Chinese's fully automatic traffic lights are said to be

Every important street is controlled by computers, flexible, compact, practical, and the most important thing is that people can consciously comply with it.

God knows, the Germans' first electronic computer is still in final testing, and Chinese people can use computers on a large scale.

"I am also very surprised. Small things make big things happen. Our Germany became depressed due to the war and many ruins appeared due to bombing. However, the Chinese were able to develop so well domestically while dealing with many wars. This can only show that

One problem is that they are not going into the war with all their strength like we are, they are just fighting a relatively easy war."

Ribbentrop had to admit this.

"Yes, newspapers reported that the Chinese still insisted on a very high-standard free education system during the war. Their citizens, regardless of birth, received state education assistance including food, clothing, and housing. In comparison, ours was only semi-free.

"The Germans have always been known for attaching great importance to education, but they were surpassed many years ago by China's national effort to promote education. Counting from the Southwest Period, for more than 30 years, China almost did not expand externally and develop its economy.

In addition to improving people's livelihood and developing the economy, the results are also invested in national strategic areas such as education.

"This is a powerful and terrifying country." Ribbentrop lamented.

"What are your thoughts on negotiations?" Heisenberg asked.

"Be honest and reveal our trump cards step by step. The head of state did not give us much time, and Zhang Shusheng is a person who rarely gives in and is very calculating. After their troops reach Central Asia, they can obviously enter Ukraine in one fell swoop.

, but instead stopped moving forward..." Ribbentrop slowly expressed his views, but he was already thinking repeatedly about the negotiations for his trip.

Two days later, China formed a negotiating team headed by Vice Foreign Minister Ouyang Ming and Military Operations Minister Su Yuren and started negotiations with the Germans.

This negotiation was unusually smooth. Facing the Allied forces landing in Europe, the Germans, who were under great pressure, made demands and corresponding exchange conditions as soon as they came up.

Ribbentrop knew very well that, just like in Germany, it was the head of state in their base camp who could ultimately decide the matter in China, so he decided to go in the opposite direction and put in his own terms at the beginning, keeping only the last one.

Trump card, this can give the Chinese base camp and their chairman more time to think about it.

Later that day, many military and political officials gathered in the head of state's office again to discuss the requirements and conditions put forward by the Germans.

"The Germans mainly made three demands and two major exchange conditions."[

Ouyang Ming, as one of the leaders of the negotiations, simply introduced to the dignitaries present, "

First, in terms of military operations, the Germans hoped that we could immediately launch an attack from Central Asia to Europe. In order to prevent the Germans from opening up the connection channel with us, the Soviets deployed heavy troops to block them. Hitler hoped that both sides would work together to open this channel.

Second, in terms of military assistance, the Germans hope that we can provide large-scale military assistance, especially aircraft and tanks, to help them fight against the Allies.

Third, in terms of technical assistance, they hope to obtain some of our high and new technologies to improve their own technical level.

The two exchange conditions are:

First, the Germans will concentrate all their efforts and plan to completely defeat the Soviet Union within three months. At that time, the Germans will completely hand over the entire east of Moscow to China, with Moscow as the boundary and two small countries as buffers.

Moreover, the Germans will immediately launch large-scale attacks on India and Afghanistan and cooperate with China to the greatest extent to resolve the war in Southeast Asia.

Second, as an exchange for military equipment and technology, Germany will use the Nazi strategic reserve gold, which is concentrated in European and Middle Eastern countries, and is personally controlled by Hitler. In addition, after occupying Afghanistan, Germany will provide 40% of the

Oil has been discovered in the Middle East and has been given to China, and China has been assisted in building two railways, the Eurasian Railway and the Central Asian Railway.

Among them, in addition to the equipment and materials that China needs to bear, Germany will provide a labor force of no less than 2 million people and strive to complete the project as quickly as possible."

After hearing this, even Zhang Shusheng's eyes lit up. These conditions seemed a bit unbelievable, but they coincided with Zhang Shusheng's future world strategy. For the first time, he became very interested in Sino-German cooperation.ro!
