Beiyang reactionaries

In fact, the current agreement is only the most preliminary agreement.

There are still many things to discuss between China and the United States later.Different industries will impose different tariffs.Tariffs for different industries must be negotiated one by one.Tariffs for agriculture and industry, different varieties in agriculture have different tariffs, and different industries and products in industry have different tariffs.These are all long negotiations.

There are also member states of the Asian United Organization. If they want to negotiate with the United States in the future, they also need China to step in.

However, with the general outline of the "Sino-US tariff and trade agreement", the subsequent negotiations are all specific.

With the signing of the "Sino-US Tariff and Trade Agreement", on March 1945, 3, in accordance with the contract between China and the United States, US troops gradually withdrew from the Philippines, and Chinese troops entered the Philippines.

On March 1945, 3, all U.S. troops withdrew from New Guinea and the Mariana Islands.As U.S. forces withdrew from these areas, Chinese naval forces began to take over these areas.

The content of the "Ili Declaration" was gradually realized.

China has also notified Australia to allow Australian troops to withdraw from the Solomon Islands.Because the Solomon Islands was determined to be entrusted to the Asia United Organization at the "Ili Conference" held by China, Britain and the United States.

The United States actually does not want to withdraw from Asia so soon, but the United States does not want to waste its power in Asia.Because the Soviet army is currently aggressive, its troops have already entered Austria, the entire Poland is occupied by the Soviet army, and the Soviet army is about to launch a general attack on Germany.

Although the United Kingdom and the United States used the problem of the United Nations Headquarters to block the Soviet Union's plan to redify Greece, after the Soviet Union took control of the Black Sea Strait, the Soviet Black Sea Fleet had an increasing influence on the Mediterranean Sea.

Even because the Soviet Union controlled the Black Sea Strait, although Turkey was dissatisfied, it did not dare to show its teeth to the Soviet Union.On the contrary, Turkey hates Britain and the United States for betraying itself and handing over the Black Sea Strait to the Soviet Union, so there are signs of slowly falling to the Soviet Union.The increase of the Soviet Union's strength in the Balkan Peninsula also directly affected the Middle East.

This is the heartache of Britain and the United States.

Speaking of which, China is also a big country, and its strength is constantly expanding.Moreover, he has great ambitions, and he is determined to drive Britain and the United States out of Asia and become the leader of Asia himself.Britain and the United States are also very dissatisfied with China, but at present, the core interests of Britain and the United States are not in Asia, so they can at least bear it.The first thing they need to do is to stabilize Europe and the Middle East before they can focus on Asian issues.

In addition, China and the United States signed the "Sino-US Tariff and Trade Agreement", which has a very positive impact on promoting the success of the "Bretton Woods Conference".The war in the Far East is over, but China shows no sign of reducing its army. On the contrary, the size of the army has been increasing, which has put a lot of pressure on the United States.

Therefore, the United States finally decided to implement the agreement signed between China and the United States.

Troops slowly withdraw from Asia.

The "Sino-U.S. Tariff and Trade Agreement" and the "Final Resolution of the United Nations Monetary and Financial Conference" signed by the United States and European and American countries at the Bretton Woods Conference jointly formed the new post-war world trade system and monetary system.

While China is negotiating with the United States, it is preparing to hold the Asian Joint Conference.

On April 1945, 4, the Asian Joint Conference was held in Nanjing, China.

779

"Thanks to this conference for giving me such an opportunity."

On November 1945, 11, after the end of the Far East War, the Asian Joint Conference was held for the first time.

The members are complete.

The heads of state of the member states of the Asian United Organization gathered together, including Japan's Prime Minister Kijuro Kihara, who was also present in person.In addition to them, the nationalities and parties that are currently preparing for the founding of the country have also sent leaders to participate.

Including Muhammad Jinnah, chairman of the All India Muslim League who is preparing for the establishment of Pakistan, Singh, chairman of the Akali Party, Galawa, chairman of the Preparatory Committee for Xihongguo, and Manuel Roxas, chairman of the Liberal Party who is preparing for the new government of the Philippines , Brunei King Sultan Ahmad Dan Zuting, 22 generations of direct descendants of the second generation Shang family of Ryukyu Kingdom, grandson of Shangdian, the last prince of Ryukyu Kingdom, and Shangyu, great-grandson of King Shangtai, the last king of Ryukyu Kingdom.

All who can come.

Although these countries have not yet been established, most countries are in the process of being established.The Asian United Organization has also included their names in the ranks of member states. Waiting for them to complete the establishment of the country, they can directly send government representatives to station there.

Currently hesitating is the representative of the Indian National Congress.

The Indian National Congress has resentment towards China.Because China supports the power faction in India, and has reached an agreement with the United Kingdom to respect the freedom of all ethnic groups and sects to choose independence.As a result, less than half of the originally expected territory is left for the Indian National Congress.From the original India, nearly ten countries have become independent, which is unacceptable to the Indian National Congress.

But now that the influence of the Asian United Organization is rapidly expanding, the Indian National Congress does not want to be excluded.So this time they just sent representatives to the meeting.

The venue of the Asia Joint Conference is Changsha, Hunan, not the previous Shanghai and Nanjing.This is because Duan Xun's development plan and investment plan for the next stage are the underdeveloped regions of Northwest, Southwest, and Mongolia.

In some powerful provinces in China, the economy can develop independently and circulate on its own.Although government investment is also needed, even if the central government invests less, they still have enough capital to develop themselves.

But those backward provinces are different.

Their economic foundation is not enough for them to develop independently, they lack the hardware and software needed for development, and they still need blood transfusions from the central government in a short period of time.Therefore, the goal of the government in the next phase is to increase investment in these underdeveloped provinces and develop the economies of these areas.The arrangement of some international organizations in Beijing and Shanghai is at best a icing on the cake, but for the cities in the Southwest, it is a timely help.

So this meeting was arranged in Changsha.

The meeting was chaired by Wei Chenzuo, who is the secretary-general of the Federation of China.On the first day of the meeting, Duan Xun was invited to give a speech at the opening ceremony of the meeting, which was regarded as setting the tone for the meeting.If we say that the previous Asian joint conferences were hosted by China and Japan, in many cases Japan occupied the dominant position.

But not now.

There is only one leader and one powerful country in the whole of Asia, and that is China.Therefore, there is no doubt that the Asian Joint Conference should be hosted by China.Duan Xun has only participated in the Asian Joint Conference for so many years, and this is the third time.

"What I want to talk about today is respect, equality, peace and development."

"Respect means respecting the history and culture of each country and nation, as well as the customs formed because of history and culture, including respecting the religious beliefs of all nations and nations. We have many countries and many ethnic groups in Asia, and each country and each nation has its own splendor. They have their own history and culture, and they also have their own religions. Therefore, it is even more important to respect each other. Christians should respect the religious beliefs of Taoism, Buddhism, Islam, and Hinduism. Similarly, believers who believe in other religions, Followers of other religions should also be respected. This is freedom of religious belief."

"Let's talk about customs. The simplest one is food. Some ethnic groups and sects are very particular about food and have many taboos. Other ethnic groups and sects should respect their eating habits and not criticize their eating habits. At the same time, ethnic groups and sects that have taboos on eating habits should not force other ethnic groups and sects to have the same eating habits as them, and they should also respect ethnic groups and sects with different customs.”

"Finally, in terms of state-to-state exchanges, we must respect each other's sovereignty, territorial integrity, and respective interests."

"To sum up, what I mean by respect is to respect each other. Don't force each other to be the same as yourself, respect each other's differences, and admit this difference. Finding our common ground in this difference is the greatest respect. Respect is The basis of everything, only mutual respect can eliminate the contradictions between each other."

export revolution.

What is an export revolution?

Money support and weapon support are at best material support.The real export of revolution is to export world views, values, and culture.It was precisely because the Soviet Union continued to export communism that it happened to meet the trend of colonial independence that it achieved such great success and its influence rose sharply.

China in the past also opposed colonization, but it was only a slogan, and there was nothing concrete.But after the Second World War, China's power has greatly expanded, and now it's time to recast the Asian order.

How to make these Asian countries surround China for a long time.

Just the binding of interests is not the safest.At the same time, it is necessary to carry out cultural export, so that Asian countries can recognize Chinese culture, or recognize the current Chinese values.Acting both hard and soft is the kingly way.So what Duan Xun has to do at this meeting is to boldly express China's attitude and promote the export of Chinese culture.

"Then there is equality. Because of historical reasons, there are economic gaps, population size gaps, and educational level gaps between countries and ethnic groups. But what I want to say is that whether it is a big or small country, a strong or weak country, or a rich country, Poor countries, peoples with large populations or small populations, are all equal, and there is no distinction between superior and inferior. Large countries are not superior to small countries, strong countries are not superior to weak countries, rich countries are not superior to poor countries, and large populations All ethnic groups are not superior to those with a small population. Everyone is equal in diplomacy and negotiations. Only negotiations conducted on the basis of equality are equal treaties and mutually beneficial treaties.”

Of course, Duan Xun would not really think that big and small countries, strong and weak countries, rich and poor countries are equal.No matter how much you talk about equality in words, it is impossible to be truly equal in reality.

Man is an advanced animal, to put it bluntly, he is still an animal, and he is not completely divorced from his animal nature.Perhaps as Marx said, when material life is extremely rich, people will hide their animal nature.But as long as there is a lack of supplies, when competing for resources, it is inevitable that the weak will prey on the strong.At that time, where there was equality, it depended on who was better than whom.

The current world is still in the stage of scrambling for resources, and there is still a long way to go before the productivity is highly developed.

How can there be true equality between countries.

But nice things to say.And although absolute equality cannot be achieved, relative equality must also be achieved.

"Then comes peace. Our Asian countries and nations have suffered too much in the past few hundred years and left too many painful lessons. There is a saying in China that it is better to be a dog of peace than to be a person in troubled times. Human beings in war, Living a precarious life, no one can escape. Only after experiencing war can we cherish peace more. I am a soldier, and I have seen countless corpses on the battlefield. The scene of corpses lying all over the field still scares me. Therefore, I hope We, the member states of the Asian Joint Organization, can all coexist peacefully and there should be no war."

"The last is development."

Duan Xun put down the speech in his hand and said, "Development is an eternal theme in human society. From the very basics, we must have enough food. After we are full, we must have more pursuits and live in a better place." Houses, better clothes, and better food. To solve these basic survival problems, we need better medical care, better education, and enrich our spare time. It is precisely because of this pursuit of human beings that human beings In pursuit of a better future, human society can develop.”

"Most of our Asian countries, in the process of the rise of European and American powers, either became their colonies or their semi-colonies. Our wealth was plundered by them, and our culture was destroyed by them. They used what they plundered from us. Wealth, industrial development, economic development, and a prosperous life. But what they left us is a country riddled with holes, a country that is completely backward. Therefore, development has become particularly important for our Asian countries.”

"The respect, equality, and peace I mentioned earlier are actually in the service of development. Why can the European and American powers live a prosperous life and show off their power at our doorstep. But our Asian countries have become poor areas and become the underprivileged The target of their bullying. Our Asian nation is hardworking, kind, and smart. There is no reason why we are inferior to European and American whites. There is no reason to be bullied by them. To get rid of this situation, we need to develop, and we must vigorously develop. Develop our economy , to develop our education, so that we are as developed as Europe and the United States, or even more developed than Europe and the United States. Only in this way can we have more funds to invest in technology and national defense, and we will no longer have to become someone else’s colony.”
