"The abacus is really good!" Fang Zida glanced at Britain and France's diplomatic letter, sneered and threw it into the trash can.

"Zheng Mingyi..." Cao Rulin looked at Fang Zida's actions in confusion. Yang Du, who was rarely on duty in the Central Bank, was also here today. He sat aside with a smile and shook his folding fan in his hand, looking leisurely and contented...

After Tsarist Russia and Germany, Britain, France and other countries have successively proposed the intention of commercial cooperation with China, which has made the Chinese, who have always had a low international status, especially Chinese diplomats, ecstatic. Because of virtue,

The precedents of Russia, many people believe that this is an excellent opportunity for China. Taking advantage of the stalemate of the war, it can not only improve the country's reputation, but also bring more opportunities to domestic development. If it can be like Germany and Russia,

It would be even better if you take the opportunity to take back the concession or something.

Fang Zida is not a professional diplomat, but he is a qualified businessman. He could see the diplomatic letters from Britain, France and other countries at a glance. He did not get lost in the mind like others.

Fang Zida knew very well what the English and French were about to make. This kind of proposal that looked very good was actually worthless.

"My suggestion is that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs neither supports nor opposes the requirements for commercial cooperation between Britain, France and other countries. If they really want to cooperate with our country, they can contact people directly with private business people, and there is no need to find the government.

"Wang Zida lit the cigar and said lightly.

Cao Rulin was a little puzzled. In his opinion, this was the same good opportunity as Germany and Russia. Why did Fang Zida change his previous attitude and oppose his objections? Seeing Yang Du, who was not in his own way, Cao Rulin thought about it and asked.

Sentence: "Why? Zheng Ming, this opportunity is so good. If we can use this to recover the lost land like De and Russia, this is a great thing of great merit! Brother Xizi, what are you talking about?"

"Haha, I don't understand diplomatic matters. Brother Runtian asked the wrong person. But... Since Brother Zheng Ming said that, there must be his reason. Why not listen to Brother Zheng Ming's explanation first?" Yang Duyao

He smiled with a folding fan.

"Old slick!" Fang Zida cursed Yang Du secretly. This guy has always had this kind of personality, is arrogant and unparalleled in strategy, and usually makes it mysterious when he has anything to do or not. He will never speak recklessly without being sure. Cao Rulin is

He wanted Yang Du to persuade him, but Yang Du picked himself out lightly, but instead brought the topic to him in one sentence.

However, what should be explained still needs to be explained. Fang Zida immediately smiled and said, "British, France and Germany, Russia are very different. First of all, let's talk about Germany, Britain and France. Among these three countries, Germany is an allies, Britain,

France is an allies, and comes from a relative camp. Among the allies, Germany has the strongest military power. It can also be said that Germany is now fighting against most of Europe with its own strength. In addition, it is fighting on both sides, and Germany seeks help from its allies.

**Far more urgent than Britain and France. China is in the Far East, Britain and France have always been the strongest in the Far East. I think Brother Runtian should be clear about the joints."

"Zhengming wants to say that Germany's demand for our country is much more than that of Britain and France, which is the basis for Germany's initial agreement to return Qinghai Island?" Cao Rulin asked thoughtfully.

"That's right!" Fang Zida nodded and continued: "As the saying goes, timely help and icing on the cake. Everyone understands the difference between the two. Our cooperation with Germany is a timely help, while cooperation with Britain and France is

The icing on the cake, how can this be compared?"

Cao Rulin suddenly realized that he nodded repeatedly and suddenly realized: "As for Russia, although Britain and France are allies, due to the strong military pressure of Germany, and the inability to seek assistance from Europe and America, he could only turn to China. At this point.

This will lead to concessions to Outer Mongolia in commercial agreements, right?”

"Brother Runtian said nothing, it's exactly the truth!" Fang Zida agreed with a smile.

But Cao Rulin was still a little puzzled and hesitated: "But even so, there is no harm in business cooperation with Britain and France! Why should Zheng Ming shirk shi? "

"Haha, Britain, France speaks beautifully, but in fact it is not good at it." Fang Zida shook his head and said, "Brother Runtian has not paid attention to the United States? Although the United States is also neutral as our country since the war, it has secretly supported Britain, France,

Taking advantage of the opportunity of war to sell goods and goods to Europe. Britain and the United States are natural allies. This is a fact that no one can deny. As both Western races, how could Britain and France abandon the close United States and go directly to China

Looking for cooperation? This assumption is impossible to hold in terms of industrial scale or historical development. Moreover, the official letters of Britain, France and other countries did not list actual things. They were all empty talk. If I guess

That's right, Britain and France want to use this method to treat China as a fool, and then weaken the cooperation with Germany to achieve the goal of killing two birds with one stone."

"Zheng Ming's statement is reasonable. English and French play methods have not been a day or two. Besides, this trick has been available in ancient times, which is not surprising. As for the combination of vertical and horizontal, foreigners have learned three points of ability and show off. It's simply

Look at me, there is no one in China." Yang Du closed the folding fan in his hand, stood up and smiled, shaking his head while saying, looking disdainful.

Cao Rulin has been diplomatic for a long time and has been dealing with foreigners for a long time. If you are ordinary, these tricks cannot be hidden from him. The key is Germany. The huge victory of Russia made him lose his normal heart for a while. Fang Zida reminded him like this.

I woke up immediately.

Within a few days, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs replied to Britain, France and other countries, and the Chinese government maintained its agreement on commercial cooperation matters, hoping to continue its current friendly exchanges with Britain, France and other countries, but the specific business matters are still handled by the business.

The government is a constitutional government and it is not convenient to interfere in normal private business. Anyway, the last thing is to say, you can cooperate with our country. Our government supports it but does not interfere. Please negotiate directly with domestic factories and enterprises.

The attitude of the Chinese government made Britain and France helpless. After pretending to say some clichés, they left in shame. They never mentioned business cooperation again. At the same time, they paid close attention to Germany in China, Britain and France.

Russia also breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. None of them wanted to see that China's cooperation with Britain and France affected their respective interests.

Just after Cao Rulin left, Yang Du closed the door and pulled Fang Zida to sit on the sofa.

"Brother Xizi, what's the matter?" Although Yang Du is the vice president of the Central Bank, he rarely comes to the headquarters. When he suddenly came here today, Fang Zida had known that he would have come to stroll around with nothing to do.

Looking at Fang Zida with a smile, Yang Du asked, "Brother Zheng Ming is thirty-two this year?"

"Hehe, Brother Xizi is very good at memory." Fang Zida nodded, not understanding why Yang Du suddenly asked why this was done.

"In the 32nd year of the previous dynasty, the government sent five other ministers to overseas inspection of constitutionalism. Xiong Gong went to Japan to ask Yang and Liang Gong to capture the sword to draft a report. Yang wrote "The Outline of China's Constitutional Government Should Absorb the Depts of the East and West Countries" and "Implementation"

"The Constitutional Procedures" thus gained great reputation. In that year, the Qing government issued an edict based on this report to prepare for constitutional establishment... Time flies, ten years pass, and I, Yang Du, is already over." Looking back on the past, Yang Du was filled with emotion and eyes

Through the window, I looked into the distance, as if I was back to the time of the year.

Fang Zida felt strange, but it was inconvenient to interrupt Yang Du. She sat quietly with him and waited for him to talk down.

Sighing, Yang Du said, "After returning to China through the sun, I, Yang Du, first helped the Qing Dynasty to establish constitutionalism, and after doing so, I was called a constitutional expert. Now I think it's ridiculous. Then I advised the 'Royal Cabinet'

, and later joined the shogunate of the President, and was busy until today. Fortunately, the efforts he had worked hard back then were not in vain. The Republic of China was established and the country was constitutional. Now, seeing the country becoming stronger little by little, Yang believed that he had made some contributions.

.”

"Of course! Brother Xizi has been planning for the country for many years. Although outsiders do not know about his achievements, the President and I are very clear about it. The President often tells me that Yang Xizi is an unparalleled man, especially his strategy." Fang Zida

Nodded repeatedly and praised him.

"Haha, it's just President Miao Zan." Yang Du waved his hand, with no smug expression on his face, but on the contrary, he was a little solemn.

"I, Yang Du, studied with Mr. Xiangqi in his early years, learned the art of emperors, and later studied in Japan. Although I cannot tell the world's general trend, I also know one or two. I am fortunate to be trusted by the president, so I can show my strengths.

He made mere contributions. But now, the President's health is getting worse and worse. I think I'm afraid there will be no more time!"

"This..." Why did Yang Du say that Yuan Shikai is healthy? Fang Zida is not very good at interfering with this, so he can only comfort Yuan Shikai's illness, but he can still be recuperated. Just take your time,

Perhaps when medicine becomes more developed, there is a possibility of cure.

"Zhengming, it's fine to say these words to others, why do I say them between you?" He looked at Fang Zida with some displeasure, and Yang Du said, "The President is a master of men. Although I, Yang Du, are not gentlemen, they are also

Those who dare to act do not have to use these words to deceive others. The President has not had much time, and everyone knows this in his heart. I have been thinking about what will happen to this country once the President suddenly leaves the world?"

For a moment, Fang Zida could not answer. In fact, he and Yang Du knew in his heart that although China has been constitutional and reorganized by the National Defense Forces in recent years, the forces of various factions in China are still strong, especially the Beiyang faction. When Yuan Shikai was there, he was still

OK, but if Yuan Shikai is gone, who can guarantee that the various teams who are fighting in secret are now able to suppress them? Once the chaos arises, all the previous efforts will be wasted.

"Zheng Ming, do you want to get on the throne?" Suddenly, Yang Du asked, which was so shocked that Fang Zida suddenly stood up, and opened his mouth wide for a moment, unable to say anything.
