"Four advantages? Tell me."

Duan Xun is very interested.

In fact, China can completely implement it forcefully. How can Asian countries dare to oppose it under the current situation.

But not so.

Now the United Kingdom and the United States are eyeing Asia.It's just that the war in Europe is not over yet, and Asia is China's home field after all, so Britain and the United States have temporarily avoided it.If China really wants to enforce various policies and suppress the voices of other Asian countries, then Britain and the United States can intervene in Asian affairs from the side.

After all, Southeast Asia was once a colony, and many elites in Southeast Asian countries returned from studying in Europe and the United States.They will naturally be close to European and American countries.Europe and the United States can easily influence the political situation in Southeast Asia through them.

So at this time, using some of our own advantages to win the support of these countries will make things go much smoother.

"First: During the war, all Asian countries owed us a lot of money. According to the current situation, it is impossible for Asian countries to repay this loan in a short period of time. If we make good use of these loans, we can directly influence countries finance directly affects the attitudes of governments.”

China did make a lot of money in World War II, and the amount of gold that flowed into China alone exceeded 8000 tons.There are also many loans to others.

Like Japan is the most typical.

At present, Japan owes China about 37 billion yuan in funds, which is the amount of loans from the Japanese government and Japanese consortiums from the Bank of China.Of course, with the money loaned to Japan, Japan finally bought materials from China.But anyway, these loans are real.

With Japan's current economic strength, this money cannot be repaid at all.

It is said that the one who owes money is the uncle, but if you owe other people usury, then you are the grandson.Under the current circumstances, China is a usury.With the strength of Asian countries, they dare not play tricks on China.

With so much money owed, many countries can only repay their debts in kind.As long as China makes good use of it, a large number of important bank shares in many Asian countries will fall into China's hands.

"Second: The military strength of Asian countries is limited. Japan, the most powerful country before, suffered a devastating blow, and the strength of the Japanese army fell to the bottom. And according to the 'Ili Declaration' and the conditions signed by Japan's surrender, it is currently under the supervision of the military Under the circumstances, the remaining military factories in Japan have begun to be dismantled, and the warships, aircraft, and artillery of the Japanese military have been seized by our country. In addition to Japan, North Korea and Thailand have military power, but their strength is also limited. In the future Inside, the security of all Asian countries needs the protection of our national defense forces. More importantly, at present, all Asian countries have Chinese troops stationed there, and our troops have not withdrawn yet, so they still have a huge deterrent effect on all countries.”

For China, now is an unprecedented opportunity.

Even in the thousands of years of Chinese history, there has never been such a good opportunity, and it is truly once in a lifetime.Although China used to claim to be the hegemon of Asia, its real influence and deterrence were limited because of the limited productivity at that time.

But not now.

more than any time in history.

Many countries in East Asia and Southeast Asia currently owe China a large sum of money.And their situation is that they not only cannot repay these loans, but also continue to borrow from China.Of course, one more important thing is that Chinese troops are currently stationed in various Asian countries.Regardless of whether it is East Asia or Southeast Asia, China has about 300 million troops scattered in various countries.

This deterrence is amazing.

Never in China's history has so many troops stationed abroad and controlled so many countries.Now China's deterrence and influence on Asian countries has reached a new peak.

At this moment, any government in Asia will be terrified and worried about China's choice.Because in many countries in Asia at present, there are many powerful factions and parties in the country, and the disputes between them are very fierce.Therefore, in the current situation, whoever gets the support of China will be able to gain power.Therefore, governments of all countries are trembling in the face of China, fearing that China will support other factions.Therefore, all factions and forces in various countries frequently send people to contact China, listen to what China wants to do, and at the same time get close to China.

Such is the effect of a strong army.

"Third: In Southeast Asian countries, the economic strength of Chinese businessmen is very strong. Especially in the early days of the war, facing the Japanese attack, many European and American businessmen fled in a hurry, sold a lot of assets at low prices, and made a lot of Chinese businessmen cheaper. After the Great Depression, Chinese businessmen were originally strong. It has greatly expanded, and the scale of assets has been doubled several times by taking advantage of the Second World War. Although the relationship between China and Japan became tense later, and finally a war broke out, many Chinese businessmen also hid, and their assets suffered a lot. But this kind of loss is much lighter than the losses suffered by Southeast Asian countries, so it does not reduce the strength of these Chinese businessmen. The economies of many Southeast Asian countries are connected with Chinese businessmen, and the important economic lifeline is even in the hands of Chinese businessmen. In addition to the fact that Chinese businessmen control the economic lifelines of many Southeast Asian countries, the current proportion of Chinese in Southeast Asian countries is very high. For example, the proportion of Chinese in Malaysia is about 40%, and even some countries with a relatively small proportion of Chinese have about 15%. Plus the Chinese And the descendants of the local people, this ratio is even higher. Therefore, making good use of the special status of Chinese businessmen in these countries can also directly affect the attitude of the governments of these countries.”

In peaceful times, as long as there is no problem with eating, the birth rate is very high, and the population growth rate is also amazing.

China's economic development cannot accommodate such a rapid population growth.Therefore, the measures China has taken are to continuously expand the border areas and move the population to the border areas.As a result, the population of the newly recovered territories in Northeast China and Xinjiang has grown rapidly.

Another is to keep sending Chinese laborers to Southeast Asia.

As a result, in the past 20 years, the scale of overseas Chinese in Southeast Asia has expanded at an alarming rate. 1000 million, 2000 million, 3000 million, and even 5000 million.Such a large population increase directly affects the political situation in Southeast Asia.

Of course, if China is weak, the situation will be different, and even these Chinese will be attacked by the local natives under the instigation of the colonists.However, under the circumstances of China's dominance, overseas Chinese have a high economic and political status in Southeast Asia.The upper-class local aboriginal people are also very willing to intermarry with the Chinese in order to strengthen their own strength.This is the reality of Southeast Asian countries now.

"These three are the most important advantages we have now. With this advantage, we can take the absolute initiative by holding the Asian Joint Conference. We can solve many problems without strong pressure. I want to formulate a new Asian The current economic and financial order is not unacceptable to Asian countries. On the contrary, the economic and financial protection policies we have formulated are also beneficial to them.”

took advantage.

There is no need to force Southeast Asian countries, and these advantages will also support China's plan invisibly.China is now completely formulating a new Asian order, an order that is not only beneficial to China, but also beneficial to the development of Asia.

"What about the fourth advantage?"

Duan Xun was quite satisfied.

For more than a year, Duan Xun, apart from formulating some general directions, has focused his energy on diplomacy.

Just to attend various international conferences, Duan Xun traveled for about 2 months.And on the way back and forth from the meeting, Duan Xun also needed to investigate the situation of the local government, which also took several months.Therefore, the time to actually stay in Beijing to deal with specific matters is relatively small, almost only half of the time.

Therefore, more things are on the cabinet Prime Minister Dai Kan.

Although the establishment of the Supreme Council greatly limited the power of the cabinet.But the cabinet is still the administrative body second only to the Supreme Council, and Dai Kan himself is the vice chairman of the Supreme Council.So when Duan Xun was away, Dai Kan was mainly responsible for the administrative work across the country.

Dai Kan handled it very well.

It was for this reason that Duan Xun chose Dai Kan as the prime minister instead of Yang Yongtai as the prime minister.Dai Kan can be Duan Xun's political ally, handle many things independently, and become Duan Xun's most reliable rear steward.

"Chairman, the fourth advantage is actually our greatest advantage and the biggest bargaining chip we hold. Asian countries have suffered heavy losses in all aspects due to the war, and their economies have fallen into a complete downturn. Like the Philippines, because of the Philippine War , Many cities have become ruins. The situation in many other Southeast Asian countries is the same, and the situation is even worse than during the war. Under such heavy losses, their economic recovery after the war is inseparable from the support of our country. If they want to rely on their own strength to restore the economy, it is impossible to achieve it without more than ten years of hard work. Therefore, in the current situation, only China has the ability to help Asian countries quickly restore their economies and restore normal economic order. Even The current situation is even worse than we expected. Not to mention the recovery of the economy, it is very difficult for Asian countries to even solve the problem of food in one or two years after the war. Without the support of our country, Asian countries will even suffer from serious food shortages, and they don’t know how to starve How many people have died. Therefore, as long as we raise the issue of economic recovery of various countries after the war and are willing to help them overcome the current difficulties. Then the governments of various countries must support and follow our country in other aspects.”

Duan Xun nodded slightly.

Indeed it is.

At present, in Asia, many countries cannot be self-sufficient in food.Because of the war, agricultural damage was even more serious.If the current situation cannot be resolved quickly, food shortages will easily occur after the war.

Duan Xun thought for a while, and said to Dai Kan: "This is the most important thing. Our roots are in Asia, and we are different from European and American countries in various aspects. From skin color, culture, we have many differences from European and American countries. It is not easy to integrate two civilizations. We are a big country, and we cannot choose the shameless choice of "leaving Asia and entering Europe" like Japan. European and American countries can accommodate Japan's "leaving Asia and entering Europe", but Obviously, it is impossible for them to accept us. Therefore, what we need to do is to make the whole of Asia rise, and make Asia’s strength comparable to that of Europe. Only in this way can we be on an equal footing with Europe and the United States and have the ability to bargain with them. And only when the whole of Asia develops, Only then can we expand the Asian market, which is also beneficial to us. The industrial products we produce need a broader market. Therefore, we must support the recovery of the Asian economy after the war.”

China is different from Japan.

China is a big country with a land area and a population ten times larger than Japan.When Japan was rising, it shouted "leave Asia and enter Europe", and wanted to get close to the West to achieve development and gain the recognition of Western powers.

But China's desire to "leave Asia and join Europe" is completely ridiculous.

With China’s size, don’t just shout slogans like “leave Asia and join Europe”, even if you run over and kneel down to the European and American powers and tell them that I want to be your little brother, European and American countries will not believe it.Don't say you won't believe it, you will even be more defensive, worrying about China's conspiracy.Because China is too big and has a large population, it is enough to directly confront the European and American powers, and it can even surpass the European and American powers.

So China cannot follow the path of Japan.

China wants to lead Asia, lead people of color in the eyes of white people, and become the world's heavyweight economy.Only in this way can China be able to sit on an equal footing with white countries and compete with white countries for world leadership.

So Asia must develop.

"We think so too. The cabinet is preparing to formulate a post-war aid plan to help some Asian countries restore their economies to normal as soon as possible."

"The normal plan won't work."

Duan Xun shook his head.

Dao: "The cabinet must formulate a complete plan, a detailed plan. And it is not a general aid, but a large-scale aid to match our country's economic situation. The aid should not be blind, but should be suitable for our country's situation. Our country The industrial production capacity of the Asian countries must be released. Helping Asian countries to restore their economies is also effectively digesting the industrial production capacity that our country expanded during the war. That is to say, assisting Asian countries to develop their economies is also to develop our country's economy. Asia must become a unified The economy, the Cabinet has to plan the best way possible in this regard."

Asia's version of the Marshall Plan.

Asia's economic foundation is weak, and it is not easy for the economy to recover.
