Chapter 691 - Reciprocal Trade Agreement
readx; In the proposal handed over by Gu Weijun, the first item is North Korea's reading power. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info This is good to say, but in fact, it is to cede North Korea to China. Because everyone knows that China is now occupying North Korea, and because of international influence, China will not say that it will directly annex North Korea, because if it directly annexes North Korea, it will have a major international impact, and the United States and Britain will definitely oppose it in an all-round way, and the annexation of North Korea will not be of much benefit to China, just like the United States annexing Mexico, which must be opposed by 99 out of 100 Americans. Because after annexing such a backward region as North Korea, the Korean Peninsula is Chinese territory and the Korean people are Chinese, so it is not a good thing that the DPRK cannot be regarded as a market for products and a source of raw materials, but must invest a lot of strength in developing the DPRK economy.
China itself still has a large area of underdeveloped regions that are looking forward to the support of the central government's financial and policy policies, and there is extra energy to support the development of North Korea.
If China supports North Korea's reading power, then China will be sure to completely control North Korea, and through a series of means such as garrisoning troops and trade treaties, it will be able to treat North Korea as a colony.
And this colonial experience is just a matter of plunder, without bothering to improve the living standards of the local people.
Regardless of whether China only intends to directly annex Korea or colonize Korea, this is not something that Ben can endure, although Ben was driven out of Korea by China, they will never give up Korea lightly, and if anyone dares to give up lightly, they will be scolded as traitors the next day.
Gu Weijun had already expected this kind of reaction from the representative of the Fang side, and immediately said: "Mr. Biyuan, don't worry, please read the rest of the content!" ”
At this time, Bihara Kishigero continued to look at it with anger, and when he looked at it, the anger on his face slowly flattened, and a thick look of doubt continued to appear.
"The two points of revising the commercial and trade treaty between the two countries and formulating a treaty on the limitation of the two navies can be discussed!" At this time, Bihara Kishigero said after reading the entire plan.
"Putting aside the issue of North Korea's status for now, we propose to negotiate a mutually beneficial trade treaty in order to strengthen economic ties between the two countries. As you are well aware, there is a serious economic crisis around the world, and this crisis has a great impact on your and our countries, and the trade barriers of various countries have caused your and our exports to drop sharply. What we mean by this is the establishment of a commercial and trade reciprocity treaty between China and the two countries, promising to restore to each other's pre-crisis tariff levels, or even further reduce them! I think this is excellent news for your country's textile and other industries! ”
Speaking of this, Gu Weijun continued: "In addition to the good reciprocal treaty between our two countries, China is also preparing to sign a similar treaty with the Russian Republic, and if the issue of the status of North Korea can be successfully resolved in the future, North Korea can also be included." At that time, China and Russia and the DPRK will be able to form a mutually beneficial commercial and trade alliance in East Asia. ”
"The North Korean issue is a matter of national principle, so there is no need for your envoy to talk about it. However, for this commercial reciprocal treaty, it is possible to discuss a thing or two, and Thailand can also be added! "Kishigero Bihara does not intend to involve North Korea, and the issue of North Korea's status is a big issue. However, he was very interested in the reciprocal alliance of commerce and trade proposed by China, and he was well aware of the serious impact of the current world economic crisis on the economy, and he knew even more that once the trade barriers between China and the two countries were lifted, it would play a major role in the reorganization of the economy, because before the war, China was one of the major trading countries in the country.
Of course, he also knows very well that this kind of benefit is not the monopoly of Ben, through the reciprocal trade treaty, Ben's textile industry and other light industry can obtain a part of China's market, but it is inevitable that Ben must also open up a part of the market to China, and it can be expected that once these treaties are finalized, China's pharmaceutical, electrical and even automobile products will enter the market on a large scale.
These are all industrial products, in addition to the raw material part, and this is a greater benefit for the resource-scarce Yue'Ben, the raw material factory in the agricultural products, especially grain, is impossible to obtain a large number of imports, after all, the Chinese population is so large, they are not enough, every year they have to import quite a lot from Southeast Asia, Thailand, France-occupied Indochina (Vietnam and other regions) are the main places where China imports grain. Grain cannot be available, but mineral resources can be exported in large quantities, and China's coal, iron ore, oil and other rare minerals are all urgently needed.
Originally, before the war, it was said that "a large amount of mineral resources were imported from China, but now after the loss of Korea, the shortage of this resource is even more serious, although after the start of the war, it is said that "this is also the beginning of the import of these resources from Southeast Asia, even the United States, India, but the sea distance is long, the freight is high, this kind of measure can still be taken in the war with China, but if it continues to do so in a state of peace, it will make the beast of this beast extremely economic loss."
And the war cannot last forever, even if China is already in the middle of a war at present, but everyone knows very well that the Korean side says that after the defeat of the army, in fact, the war between the two countries has already ended, and then China is not capable of landing on the mainland, and it is said that it is also unable to counterattack the DPRK, and if it insists on holding on, it will be a stalemate in which both sides lose. So the end of the war is certain, and it will be in the short term, and the question now is how much both sides are willing to pay to end the war.
And after the end of the war, although everyone has just fought a war, but trade will definitely be opened again, this has nothing to do with whether you are willing or not, but the relationship between naked interests, this is not a war, why not make money, is it still across the sea to scold, has been stalemate can not develop the economy, the international economy does not develop, where is the money to develop armaments, and if you do not develop armaments, how can you resist the attack of surrounding countries.
Although it is vulgar to have money and not to make a bastard, it can basically be applied to the additional policies of major countries in the world. Hatred, even ideology, these things are just slogans shouted for the sake of competing for interests, and whoever believes them is unlucky.
So don't look at China and say that the two countries are fighting each other for life and death, and the two [***] people are facing each other for life and death on the battlefield, but in the hearts of the high-level leaders of the two countries, the war is purely because of interests, not for illusory hatred.
If the war can be successfully ended, although there is still hostility between China and China, China is still an extremely important trading country, and this will not change just because the two countries have fought a war.
It may sound strange that everyone does business in peacetime and everyone fights in wartime, but the reality is that it is so.
"The current commercial and trade reciprocal alliance is only a draft, and the specific needs to be improved by everyone together, and in order to show our country's determination to maintain peace in East Asia, our country is willing to re-sign a naval arms limitation treaty with your country, of course, this arms limitation treaty must be carried out within the framework of the last Washington naval treaty."
After Gu Weijun said this, he waited for Bihara to answer.
If the Sino-commercial reciprocal treaty allows the two countries to obtain better product markets and resource supplies to each other, then the naval arms limitation treaty can be seen as largely a suppression of the outbreak of the next war between the two countries.
The world's major naval powers have signed the Washington Naval Treaty, and the main goal of the countries signing this treaty is also to prevent the unlimited development of their navies, which will lead to a world war. This is because the development of the navy costs a lot of money, and once the naval arms race comes together, it will be a bottomless pit, and no amount of money will be enough to fill it, not to mention the original economic difficulties, and even China, which is in a much better economic situation, will not be able to bear the heavy burden of naval armaments.
After China went to war with each other last year, it was natural for them to temporarily withdraw from the Washington Naval Treaty as in the previous war, and the Washington Naval Treaty was bound to all countries in a state of peace, and the signatory countries would still be in the mood to take care of these treaties if they started a war.
However, although they all temporarily withdrew from the Washington Naval Treaty, they did not actually do much to cover the Washington Naval Treaty.
Because at the beginning of the war, everyone's strength was at a peak level, and he said, "Ben has great confidence in his own battleships, and China also has great confidence in his own aircraft carriers." Although a naval and air war has caused a loss of strength, it has also vacated a large amount of tonnage, so it is now said that "even if the navy is fully developed in the next five years, at most it will return to the previous level, and in this case, it will be difficult to exceed the limits of the Washington Naval Treaty."
The Chinese Navy did not have a similar plan, the Chinese Navy did not lose much in the engagement, and the damaged capital ships could be repaired, and the lost capital ship was just a heavy cruiser Huawu. Although there are suggestions within the Navy to continue a large-scale expansion of the Navy, the scale will not be too large, and the main work will be placed on the two aircraft carriers under construction.
Once these two aircraft carriers are completed, China will have six fleet aircraft carriers, and this kind of strength will actually be able to stabilize the current "own navy," let alone the "own navy," and even against the US Navy and the British navy, if the superiority of aircraft carriers can be brought into play, it will be relatively easy to gain strategic superiority.
Of course, aircraft carriers alone are not enough, there must be other warships, such as destroyers, cruisers, and battleships.
The war has not yet ended, and there are already voices within the Chinese Navy proposing to build the next generation of battleships, but whether battleships should be built has caused a lot of discussion among the top echelons of the Navy.
