…… At 9:45 Beijing time, the Japanese Foreign Minister announced that the ceasefire would be extended by 24

Subsequently, the Deputy Minister for Foreign Affairs of the Republic also announced the extension of the ceasefire for 24 hours

Although the fighting has not been rekindled, tensions show no signs of easing

At 10:15 Beijing time, Premier Pang Xinglong announced after the executive work meeting of the State Council: the Republic will continue to promote economic reform with industrial restructuring as the core, strengthen support for high-tech enterprises, increase investment in education and scientific research, and accelerate the speed of national infrastructure construction through government appropriations and private financing; Strive to initially complete the adjustment of the industrial structure within five years, build a number of high-tech enterprises with world competitiveness, comprehensively promote the 12-year compulsory education, provide student loans for college students in poor areas, train a group of high-tech talents in various basic disciplines, provide policy support for emerging technologies to be put into industrial production, complete the expansion and construction of the main trunk line of the State Grid, and basically complete the reconstruction and construction of the national railway road transportation network with high-speed electrified railways and electric vehicle charging stations as the core

As soon as the news was announced, China's Shanghai and Shenzhen stock indexes immediately rose rapidly, led by steel, energy and high-tech sectors

At this time, six businessmen headed by Yan Bo and Ye Yongji had already invested hundreds of billions of yuan in the Shanghai and Shenzhen stock markets, and according to the information "revealed" by Pang Xinglong, they focused on acquiring the stocks of enterprises that would receive state policy support, were related to the adjustment of the industrial structure, and were related to the newly introduced policies

The "financial defense war" of the republic also began at this time

Starting from 1045 points, the international hot money that has long been ready to move has entered the Shanghai and Shenzhen stock markets one after another

Unlike the attack on Japan's financial market, before the State Council announced specific policies, international hot money did not enter in a big way, but only tentatively bought some high-tech company stocks

The so-called "one time and another" means that the international financial "predators" are well aware of the situation in front of them

Japan's financial crisis, in addition to malicious speculation, is closely related to the Japanese financial market and the Japanese government's economic policies, even if no one maliciously attacks the Japanese financial market, as the Sino-Japanese conflict intensifies, investors are bearish on the Japanese economy, and international financial speculators will still take advantage of the Japanese financial market

The Chinese financial market is very different from the Japanese financial market

First of all, the Chinese government has a strong ability to regulate and control, and China's financial market is still a "policy market", not a "market market", and policy factors have a far greater impact on the financial market than the market itself

The ongoing restructuring of the real estate industry has also given the government the ability and means to regulate and control the market at any time, and a policy to support a certain industry or expand a certain infrastructure investment site is worth hundreds of billions of international hot money, and when the financial crisis broke out in Japan, China used the policy of expanding infrastructure construction and supporting key industries to stabilize the domestic financial market and keep the international hot money out

The second is that China's local financial market is more "healthy", after the end of the global financial crisis, the Chinese government used industrial restructuring to stimulate domestic production and consumption, accelerate economic development and revitalize exports; On the one hand, the price-earnings ratios of the Shanghai and Shenzhen stock markets have been maintained at a relatively reasonable level by reducing excess capacity such as steel, transferring low-value-added processing and manufacturing industries to the outside world, eliminating backward productive forces, and squeezing out capital bubbles

Under such circumstances, any international financial speculator who attempts to stir up trouble in China's financial market must think twice before acting

Another important factor has to be mentioned, and that is the way China settles foreign exchange

Although China promised to gradually liberalize its exchange rate when it joined the WTO, China's exchange rate controls have always been relatively strict, and any foreign exchange entering the Chinese market will be monitored, except for underground banks, and large transactions must be approved by the relevant regulatory authorities

What is incomprehensible is that the Japanese consortium is moving more slowly than the international hot money

Under the circumstances at that time, after Japan received the WB loan, it must first calm down the domestic financial crisis, restore investor confidence, pull up the Nikkei index, and restore the vitality of the major consortia and enterprises that had been hit hard

Due to their own constraints, Japan's major conglomerates have missed the best opportunity to enter China's financial market

The smoke of gunpowder on the financial battlefield has just risen, and China has unleashed a combination of punches on the diplomatic battlefield

At a news conference after the State Council's executive work meeting, Pang Xinglong said in response to a reporter's question: The United States' provision of weapons and equipment to Japan will not only fail to promote the restoration of peace between China and Japan, but will also sabotage the ongoing armistice talks and cast a shadow over the peaceful settlement of the dispute between China and Japan. While making an attempt to sabotage the armistice negotiations, the Republic will retaliate with the most severe and resolute means

Before the press could react, Huang Guowei, who was in Honolulu, also spoke

When leaving the venue for the preparatory work for the talks, Huang Guowei told the American reporter who stopped him: The Republic of China has accepted Japan's request for armistice talks in the light of the principle of maintaining world peace and stability and in line with the principle of peaceful settlement of disputes

Armament and preparation for the next round of conflict, preparations for the negotiations have not continued, and the republican negotiating delegation will leave for China as soon as possible

At this time, not only Japan panicked, but even the United States could not sit still

At 22 o'clock Eastern time on the 23rd, US President Roddick revealed to reporters at a reception party after winning the Democratic Party's presidential nomination that the United States will do its best to promote the peaceful settlement of disputes between China and Japan, and the military assistance provided to Japan has nothing to do with the Sino-Japanese conflict

It has to be said that the United States is indeed brazen

The main reason why Japan lost the war in the East China Sea was the loss of air supremacy, and the United States provided Japan with heavy fighter jets to seize air supremacy, which inevitably posed a threat to China, so how can it be said that it has nothing to do with the Sino-Japanese conflict?

Subsequently, the US Secretary of State met with Chinese Ambassador to the United States Xiao Jiesheng separately at a party to entertain foreign envoys

Contrary to the US president's attitude of "fighting to the death, not saying anything," when meeting with Xiao Jiesheng, Lynch not only expressed the importance he attached to China, but also euphemistically said that the US Government had made the decision to provide weapons and equipment to Japan under pressure from Congress, hoping that China would understand, and also promised not to provide military assistance to Japan

The Japanese government also reacted as quickly as possible

At 13:30 Tokyo time, Ozawa said at a lunch with representatives of the business community that the cabinet will do its best to resolve disputes with China through negotiations, concentrate on calming down the domestic financial crisis, restoring financial order, boosting investor confidence, and promoting economic development

Ozawa's attitude makes people feel that the Sino-Japanese conflict has subsided, the war in the East China Sea has ended, and Japan will go all out to develop its economy

As the attitude of the United States and Japan has loosened, the attitude of the Republic has also changed

At 7:30 on the 23rd, Honolulu time, Huang Guowei appeared again at the Wanguo Hotel

Instead of leaving Honolulu, the Republican negotiating delegation began to prepare for the next day's preparatory phase of consultations

Subsequently, the US presidential adviser on international affairs, who acted as the moderator of the negotiations, announced that the consultation meeting on the preparatory stage of the negotiations between China and Japan would be reconvened at 8 a.m. the next day

At 15:30 Beijing time on the 24th, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of China issued a statement that as long as the United States and Japan no longer make malicious moves to deliberately sabotage the armistice negotiations, change the balance of military forces between the two sides, and disrupt the existing pattern of the battlefield, the Republic will still strive to resolve the dispute through negotiations

It seems that peace prevails over war

That night, Hatoyama met with the secretaries-general of the major foundations introduced by Fukuda Tabun at the manor

Unlike a few days ago, when they were still struggling, the faces of these bigwigs, who hold the lifeblood of Japan's economy, have a little more spring on their faces

Since the reopening of trading, the Nikkei Index has risen from less than 8,000 points when it was suspended, and has regained the 11,000-point mark when the market closed on the afternoon of the 24th

"In the coming period, with the gradual withdrawal of international hot money, the Nikkei index will gradually recover to a reasonable level in repeated shocks, and is expected to eventually regain the 14,000-point mark" Fukuda Tawen was very excited, "If the cabinet government can introduce some policies to stimulate the market, so that small and medium-sized investors can restore confidence, it will be able to more effectively calm down the financial crisis and restore order in the financial market."

"Stimulus policy is not a problem" Hatoyama Ryojiro smiled slightly and said, "I will immediately instruct Ozawa to let him introduce a policy as soon as possible The problem now is that the war that belongs to us is not over yet"

Hearing this, the expressions of Fukuda Tawen and the secretaries-general of several foundations immediately changed

"I said before that if the international hot money can't find a way out, we can't calm the financial crisis" Hatoyama Ryojiro glanced at everyone, "There are still nearly three trillion international hot money left in our country, we can't celebrate the victory in advance The financial market of China has shown signs of turmoil, the government of China has introduced the wrong policy at the wrong time, and is introducing international hot money into the financial market of China, we must not only take the opportunity to defeat the financial market of China, but also recover losses in China, in the long run, only China falls into a financial crisis, Only then can we regain our position as the dominant force in the Asian economy and completely trample China under our feet! ”

"Hatoyama-kun is right, we must destroy the financial economy of China in one fell swoop!" Heiji Kano, who was invited to come to "observe," immediately expressed his opinion: "With our accession, the international hot money remaining in our country will accelerate the inflow into the financial market of China, and we will crack down on the financial market of China at this time, not only to recover losses, but also to allow international hot money to leave our country as soon as possible, so that the financial market of our country can be restored to order, and the losses of major financial groups will be reduced."

Speaking of this, the secretaries-general of several major consortia also nodded

Seeing that no one objected, Hatoyama Ryojiro cast a grateful glance at Heiji Kano

As for whether Hatoyama Kenjiro is truly grateful to Heiji Kano, it's impossible to say

Damn it*
