As soon as Chen Ke's personnel arrangements were completed, the new Chinese leaders began to exercise their responsibilities in accordance with their duties. Li Runshi immediately went to the Soviet Union to visit, and Wu Xiangyu was the busiest, arranging the work of immigrating to New Zealand and Australia, and also instructing the matter of changing the names of Australia and New Zealand, and at the same time convening an economic conference of China, Japan, and North Korea.

Japan itself is an industrial country, and its economy was immediately activated after receiving a large number of orders from China. Kita Ikki has also imposed technological upgrades and eliminations in Japan, and Japan has developed quite smoothly in the new era.

North Korea is a little strange, first of all, there are problems with internal integration, and secondly, land reform is not very good, coupled with the low level of industrial development, North Korea has become the country with the highest operating cost among the three countries. North Korea received the least number of orders and the lowest industrial quality. Therefore, the DPRK is keeping a close eye on Japan's history of aggression and trying to reap more benefits for itself in the talks.

If this had been replaced by a comrade in the People's Party, it would have been found out and criticized wildly long ago. Meetings are held to discuss economic issues, not to let the participants roll around. Even if he knew that there was such a possibility in advance, Wu Xiangyu was extremely unhappy when he encountered this situation.

Worst of all, the North Korean side did not raise the issue of apologizing for some money. In the words of apology, the new Hokkaido government has already expressed its sincerity and humility, and the new Japanese government has also sincerely reflected on the issue of embarking on the road of militarism since taking office. Through the Mutual Defense Treaty of the Three East Asian Countries, Japan reduced its standing army to 270,000. After the Chinese army completely withdrew from the DPRK, the bases and equipment left to the DPRK did not have the problem of backward army and military equipment in the face of Japan.

As for the reparations, the new Japanese government has also expressed its willingness to compensate, and China has privately subsidized Japan, and the compensation is relatively large. The problem is that the representative of the DPRK is asking for many privileges. Everyone knows that high-level technology means higher output value and profits, and North Korea has demanded technology transfer from the shipbuilding industry as soon as it opens its mouth. Even the North Korean side knew that this was unrealistic, and it was impossible for China to spend huge sums of money in North Korea to help North Korea build a shipbuilding base, and they still bravely made a request. Nominally, it is a demand for compensation for the transfer of technology from Japan.

If it weren't for the fact that North Korea and Japan are now really hating each other, Wu Xiangyu would even wonder if North Korea and Japan had colluded in private. North Korea asks Japan to transfer technology, and Japan will certainly take the opportunity to ask China to transfer technology. At least in terms of effect, this is not aimed at Japan, but at China. Wu Xiangyu thought about it for a while, and felt that this should be discussed at a meeting of the Politburo Standing Committee to discuss the proliferation of such technologies.

"Does North Korea think that our production capacity will encounter problems in the near future?" Xi Biwu, who took over the political and legal affairs, was very puzzled by this. Even if he is a member of the Standing Committee of the political and legal department, Xi Biwu is very aware of the production capacity of China's four major shipyards, as well as the newly built shipyards in New Zealand and Australia. ”

"Whether he wants to make extra money or not, is North Korea ready to take over these industries?" Comrade Li Xiangsong, director of the Propaganda Department, was born as secretary of the provincial party committee and is very familiar with the characteristics of the industrial mouth, and there is no one in the "5+2" Standing Committee who does not understand the economy at all. After discussions, the DPRK's demand was actually made into two people in the Politburo Standing Committee, two people opposed it, and one person hesitated.

Comrades who oppose it believe that the DPRK is not ready, and that in the earliest economic arrangements for the DPRK, the DPRK focused on the mining industry. Then there is no need to engage in shipbuilding. This industry has a large investment and a long construction period, and North Korea's domestic market cannot absorb such a large production capacity.

Proponents believe that North Korea also has iron ore and relatively large steel production enterprises, and that the shipbuilding industry itself does not appear out of thin air and has no foundation. As a peninsular country, North Korea also has a large enough demand for ships.

In the end, the focus of the discussion gradually became clear: whether China should distribute its industry in the Western Pacific according to its own interests and wishes, or whether it should adopt a completely independent approach for each country to determine its own industrial production categories. Among other countries' choices, China is not going to pay.

Li Runshi went to the Soviet Union, and Chen Ke went to a secret investigation. Encountering such an incident that has a bearing on the future of the industrial structure of the countries at the bottom of the western Pacific, the "young" comrades suddenly felt that they really needed to have a backbone.

Comrade Li Runshi, who was visiting the Soviet Union, felt that Uncle Iron Man's attitude towards the communist camp was not very friendly.

The countries in the world that have clearly chosen to take the communist road are China and the Soviet Union, which together have a population of 1 billion. In the western Pacific, a number of new socialist countries have recently emerged, including Korea, Japan, and former British colonies. The total population has now exceeded 1.1 billion.

Comparatively speaking, the capitalist countries, the British colonial power, and the Nazi countries combined have a population of just over 900 million. If India had gained independence in the near future, the population of this hodgepodge camp would have dropped to 500 million in one fell swoop.

Uncle Iron Man is hoping to build a strong communist alliance. The Soviet Union could not command China, so Uncle Iron Man handed over the dominance of the Western Pacific region to China, while the Communist Party organizations in European countries were commanded by the Soviet Union.

Li Runshi can understand Uncle Tie Man's thoughts, but he feels that this paternalistic style is not appropriate. Not only is Uncle Tieman's idea inappropriate, but Li Runshi obviously feels that Uncle Tieman has a bit of a "seniority" feeling in dealing with China's new leadership team. But these are still quite invisible things. What made Li Runshi even more disturbed was the wariness of the Soviet comrades when they asked about the actions that the Soviet Union was preparing to take in Europe.

At that time, Chen Ke and Uncle Iron Man did reach a consensus that "China will act in Asia, and the Soviet Union will act in Europe". At present, China's operation in Asia has entered the second stage, and the Soviet Union's operation has also reached a threshold. After Germany eliminated France, the German-Italian Axis controlled a vast area from northern to southern Europe, and the Soviet Union would inevitably face such a behemoth in its actions in Europe. At such a stage, the Soviet comrades clearly did not want to enter into any discussion with China about this.

The Soviet comrades did not want to discuss, and China could not help it. The discussion was about the recent attitude of the United States. The Soviet Union also did not want the United States to be involved in a world war, because the Soviet Union believed that the American side was likely to support Germany. In terms of anti-communism, there is no essential difference between the United States and Germany. Uncle Iron Man also asked whether China would send troops in the Pacific to contain the United States if the United States joined the British bloc.

On this key issue, Li Runshi said that if the United States declares war on China, China will certainly not pretend not to see it. During this foreign visit, Li Runshi showed his face and confirmed that the economic development of the Soviet Union was okay and that the Soviet comrades did not have any idea of giving up the liberation of Europe.

When he returned to China, the domestic controversy was immediately placed in front of Li Runshi. How should the Western Pacific system, which was established by military action, be built? This issue has also been discussed many times within the party, and Li Runshi himself is also the person in charge of the southern region. China did not adopt the Soviet model of a "planned economy" at home. Lee Yun-seok opposes this model of government planning all production arrangements. The problem of unplanned planning is also obvious, for example, if North Korea builds its own shipbuilding industry, this capacity control is a big problem in itself. If you want the shipbuilding industry to develop smoothly, you need to invest a lot. The most important thing is that no matter how good or bad the development is, China will have to pay for these investments, depending on the situation.

Lee Yun-seok himself did not oppose such a move, but the Politburo Standing Committee members did, including comrades who supported the DPRK in establishing its own shipbuilding industry, and also opposed China's payment. In particular, the comrades in the banking sector have been very opposed to this. Domestic companies are also not administratively transferred, and neither the Politburo has the power to demand investment from banks immediately because of a project that has not been approved in economic accounting. In domestic movies and TV dramas, there have been films related to this. The leader approved the note, and the bank implemented it. As a result, the money invested in the project was misappropriated, and the head of the bank was imprisoned along with the leader who approved the note. It's not even "this plot is pure fiction, if there are similarities and pure coincidences".

What seems to be a very ordinary diplomatic dispute directly involves China's foreign relations.

In the end, Lee Yun-seok could only ask the Japanese side whether it was willing to support the DPRK in the shipbuilding industry. After Japan decided that the project would have to pay for itself, they did not hesitate to propose that Japan should get support from China for the transfer of shipbuilding technology.

This diplomacy, economy, and policy are entangled like a mess, and it looks tricky. Comrade Li Runshi was not intimidated by this, and he was always brave in the face of tests.
