What Commodus is talking about is indeed a big problem.

Yinjiang and Shanghai are only separated by a Hangzhou Bay, there is no military target worthy of the Japanese bombing at the moment, the Japanese bombers will fly over to bomb every now and then, if Zhong Yi's idea becomes a reality, if there is really a large area of new residential areas and industrial parks on the west bank of the Moon Lake, the Japanese bombers will definitely flock to it.

It was absolutely impossible to stop the Japanese bombing, because the Chinese air force had already been crushed, and the few remaining air force units had retreated to several airfields in Chongqing, and now even Chongqing could not be well protected, let alone Yinjiang.

At that moment, Commodus, Richmore, and MacJoseph's eyes focused on Zhong Yi's face.

Zhong Yi has a very accurate grasp of the international situation, which they absolutely believe.

Zhong Yi is also very keen on business opportunities, and in China at present, due to the Sino-Japanese war, Western and Chinese bankers have a pessimistic attitude towards the business environment, so now is a good opportunity to cut in, if this opportunity is seized, the future Yinfa Bank will grow into a giant!

These, Commodus they are all recognized.

However, there is a premise for everything, that is, the basic safety of the money released by Yinfa Bank must be guaranteed, that is, the basic personal safety of the factories and residents who borrowed their money must be guaranteed, otherwise, the factories will close down, and the residents who borrowed their money will die, where will they go to collect the money?

If this problem cannot be solved, no matter how big the business opportunity is, it will be in vain.

Facing the eyes of the three of Kangmaode, Zhong Yi smiled slightly and said, "In fact, there is a way to solve this problem. ”

"If the method you are talking about is military, such as installing anti-aircraft guns or something, then it is still exempt." Joseph MacJoseph stroked the mustache on his lips and said disdainfully, "No matter how dense the anti-aircraft guns are, they can't stop the bombing." ”

"I'm afraid it won't work to build factories in a decentralized way and reduce the risk of bombing." "Because in this way, the Great Yinjiang River envisioned by His Excellency the Mayor will be disappointed, the cost of enterprise production will be greatly increased, and the risk of borrowing will also be greatly increased, and the appearance of bad debts will follow, and the bank will be unprofitable!" ”

"Of course not." Zhong Yi said, "The envisaged new Yinjiang must have a highly concentrated urban area, only in this way will the cost of urban construction be reduced, if the factories are really scattered around, not to mention anything else, just the cost of building roads and bridges will completely drag down the finances of Yinjiang City." ”

Commodus said with deep thought: "What His Excellency the Mayor said is extremely true, the three links are the most basic for industrial development!" It is also the largest expenditure in municipal construction, for which it is not feasible to build factories in a decentralized manner. ”

The so-called three links refer to electricity, water, and access roads.

After a pause, Commodus added: "Then I am curious, what can the Mayor do to help the highly concentrated residential and industrial areas of the Xinyinjiang River avoid light bombing by the Japanese army?" ”

Zhong Yi still didn't answer directly, and asked rhetorically: "Minister Commodus, why didn't the Japanese army bomb the concession in Shanghai?" ”

"The reason is very simple." Commodus replied, "Japan did not want to provoke the United States, Britain and France in the event of a full-scale war with China, so it did not dare to bomb the Shanghai Public Concession and the French Concession." ”

Speaking of this, Commodus suddenly reacted and said, "Your Excellency Mayor, you don't want to restore the Yinjiang Concession, do you?" ”

As soon as Richmore and Joseph MacJoseph heard this, they immediately came to their senses: under the general trend of China's gradual recovery of concessions, if they can buck the trend and build a Yinjiang concession in China, then they will become domestic political stars in an instant, and maybe they will have the opportunity to step up a step and go directly to the center!

Richmore and MacJoseph had no expectations in their careers, otherwise they would not have risked ruining their reputations to smuggle opium with Chen Jinmu to make black money.

But now, the minds of the two are alive again.

It's just that the small flame that just grew in the hearts of the two was quickly extinguished.

"What do you think?" Zhong Yi said, "The Yinjiang concession can never be restored, and since the Chinese have already recovered the sovereignty of Yinjiang, how can they betray him again?" ”

After a pause, Zhong Yi said again: "It is absolutely impossible to restore the concession, but in the name of the US government, it is completely possible to build an industrial demonstration park." ”

Commodus was stunned for a moment, and then burst out laughing.

Richmore and MacJoseph on the side also laughed and shook their heads.

Zhong Yi was not in a hurry, he just smiled and looked at the three of them without speaking.

After a moment, Commodus was the first to realize the gaffe and quickly stopped laughing.

Calming down, Commodus said: "Your Excellency Mayor, I'm afraid you don't know much about the current political ecology in our country. ”

"No, I do." Zhong Yi waved his hand and said, "Now in the domestic political ecology of the United States, the biggest political correctness is isolationism, and you don't even want to meddle in European affairs, let alone Asian affairs." ”

Commodus spread his hands and said, "If Your Excellency the Mayor knows this, why would he make such a ridiculous suggestion?" ”

"Is my suggestion ridiculous? Why don't I think. "I think it's a good idea because it's going to be a win-win business." ”

"God." Kang Maode put his hand on his forehead and said with a wry smile, "Your Excellency Mayor, you should know that the establishment of an industrial demonstration zone in Yinjiang in the name of the government of the United States is beyond the scope of my authority as a minister, and even the ambassador to China has no authority to make this decision, but must be approved by the Congress." ”

After a pause, Commodus said: "But you also said just now, the biggest political correctness in our country is isolationism, and anyone who deviates from political correctness will be impeached, and even our president's Excellency is helpless against isolationism, so it is absolutely impossible for Congress to approve your proposal." ”

After another pause, Commodus added: "Even, this proposal of yours has no chance to be discussed in Congress, because absolutely no member of parliament will propose this proposal to Congress." ”

"Really?" Zhong Yi smiled and said, "I don't think so. ”

After a pause, Zhong Yi said: "The political correctness in the United States is indeed isolationism, but as far as I know, there are still a considerable number of forces who oppose this, believing that the United States should participate in international affairs, such as Springfield, Colt, Winchester, etc. ”

Zhong Yi is talking about several arms manufacturers in the United States.

Arms dealers are the sworn enemies of isolationism!
