Chen Jingyun nodded and said, "Hmm! Hua Tian and Hua Jun, they didn't give Gu Weijun any trouble! ”

Yanjing Kuang said: "The president can rest assured, the eldest son and the second son have been much more stable after returning from North Korea, and they are enough to take on the heavy responsibility!" ”

Speaking of his two sons, Chen Jingyun also smiled: "After these two boys came back from North Korea, they also looked like adults!" ”

Chen Jingyun sent his eldest son Chen Huatian and second son Chen Huajun to North Korea last year, one of them went to the First Armored Army, and the other went to the Seventeenth Army.

After the war on the North Korean side was over, Chen Jingyun just let the two of them return to Nanjing, and after meeting them, they felt that they were also much more mature and stable, and in the spirit of cultivating them, Chen Jingyun directly asked them to join the negotiation delegation and went to Shanghai to participate in this peace negotiation as an attaché of the military representative.

Chen Jingyun did not mean to hand over such a major matter as diplomatic negotiations directly to them, they were not negotiators this time, but just an attaché of the military representatives. Do not do or say anything about the details of the negotiation.

The reason for letting them go is very simple, just to let them see for a long time and feel the complexity of national diplomacy.

Chen Jingyun asked these two sons to go to North Korea and then to Shanghai one after another, and the taste of cultivation was already obvious, and the people around Chen Jingyun could see it, and it also made Lin Yun and other family members very happy.

After all, although Chen Jingyun also expressed his intention to cultivate his two sons before, when he really did this, it was to put Lin Yun and Dong Bai and those behind him at ease.

At the same time, in Shanghai.

Although he has been to Shanghai several times, Chen Huatian still sighed in his heart when he looked at the bustling downtown of Shanghai: "It is worthy of being the first developed city in my country!" ”

Several people who followed Chen Huatian also accompanied: "Yes, Shanghai is now the most economically developed city in China, and I heard that Shanghai's economic vitality is enough to squeeze into the top three in the world!" ”

As the largest city in China, Shanghai not only has a large number of light and heavy industries, but more importantly, Shanghai is the largest financial city in China.

After more than 10 years of development, although China has not yet completed the industrialization of the whole country, and many inland areas of the country are still economically underdeveloped, if the strength of the whole China is gathered, China's current national strength can generally squeeze into the top five in the world, and only the United States, Britain, Germany, and France can rank ahead of China, and the remaining countries such as Italy, Soviet Russia, and the country are inferior to China.

Shanghai is the largest city in China, bringing together almost most of China's capital, so it is a matter of course to make Shanghai an economic metropolis.

Looking at these high-rise buildings in Shanghai, Chen Huatian felt that Shanghai is more developed now than when he came a few years ago.

As a professional diplomat, he not only served as foreign minister for a long time, but also lived in the United States in his early years, and has a deep understanding of the economic development of the United States. He also came to Shanghai in the early years, but Shanghai at that time and Shanghai now are two different things.

He didn't expect to be able to see the same prosperity in Shanghai as New York in the United States and London in the United Kingdom, and when he saw the cars shuttling on the streets, he sighed in his heart: Shanghai's car ownership may have surpassed that of Tokyo.

In fact, Shanghai's car ownership has long exceeded the "Tokyo, China's private cars are not much in general, most of the cars owned are also enterprises, institutional cars, privately owned vehicles are relatively few in the early years, the number of privately owned cars in China has risen sharply after the mid-twenties, that is, these four or five years, in order to create a domestic private car market, several domestic automobile companies have developed some low-cost models, which has allowed the car to gradually enter the ordinary rich class, and before that, Only the rich can afford a luxury like a car in China. Now the car companies in China are trying to get the car off the luxury shelf and the finished household items that the average person can afford.

At present, China's car ownership is naturally incomparable with that of the United States, where the average family owns a car for every four families, and even the car ownership rate of Britain, France and Germany exceeds that of China. But no one can deny that China's auto market has great potential.

China's car ownership has begun to rise dramatically, in addition to the introduction of cheap civilian models by several major car companies, but also related to the country's significant increase in oil production. Before the large-scale development of the Daqing Oilfield and Shengli Oilfield, China's oil was extremely scarce and heavily dependent on imports, which led to China's control of oil as a strategic material, and the imported oil needed to meet the needs of the military first, and in the twenties, China's army had begun to gradually enter the oil age, the navy's warships used heavy oil, airplanes used aviation gasoline, and the army's tanks and automobiles also used gasoline, resulting in a sharp increase in the military's oil needs every year.

Under such circumstances, only a small part of the limited imported oil can be used for the private sector, resulting in high domestic oil prices and directly suppressing domestic car sales.

When several large oil fields in China have produced oil, China suddenly changed from an oil importer to an oil exporter, not only the military oil has been guaranteed, but also the private oil can be fully supplied, which directly led to the reduction of domestic oil prices, which also directly paved the way for the development of the domestic automobile industry.

Why does the United States own the most cars, because the United States uses the most oil production in the world.

When Kishijo Bihara was amazed by the large number of cars in Shanghai, he was even more surprised by the huge capital power presented by Shanghai's Huidong New Road.

"No wonder others say that Shanghai Huidong New Road is the Wall Street of Asia, and it really lives up to its name when I see it today!" When Kishigero Bihara said this, his face was full of worry.

As a career diplomat, the shrewd and amiable Kishigero Bihara was not a stupid man, and just by looking at the appearance of Shanghai, he could already understand why the Imperial Army had lost in Korea.

Although he is unwilling to admit it, he also knows that China's steel, chemical and other industries have comprehensively surpassed the so-called 'this'. Otherwise, at the end of last year, he wouldn't have fought against Yukiichi Hamaguchi.

However, there are still too few people in the political axe system who can recognize the gap to stop those in the military department from having their heads hot, so that the empire will lose in Korea.

"I hope that this negotiation will not let the empire lose too much!" Kishigero Bihara knew that this time the negotiations would not be easy, the Imperial Army had not been able to hold Korea in the war, and it was now almost impossible to retake Korea by diplomatic force.

Kishigero Bihara, who came with him, said, "The people in this negotiation delegation are also worried.

"Now that the situation is difficult, all you must work together!" Bihara Xi Shigero cheered up his subordinates, he didn't want the negotiations to start yet, and his own people were imposing.

The next day, the delegation led by Kishigero Bihara and the Chinese delegation led by Gu Weijun gathered together, because the war between the two countries is still going on, and the people of the two countries are still in a relatively high time, so this time the negotiations are carried out in secret, otherwise if this matter leaks out, it will make the political axes of the two countries encounter great obstacles, especially on the other side, I am afraid that Yuyuki Hamaguchi and Kishigero Bihara will be scolded as traitors.

The preliminary negotiations on the first day were actually just a preliminary contact, and the two sides would not exchange the conditions of the negotiations in depth, compared to the tragic battle between the two [***] people on the battlefield, the diplomats of the two countries were in a harmonious atmosphere, and when Bihara Xi Shigero and Gu Weijun shook hands, they even smiled: "Today's handshake between you and me is a big step for peace between our two countries!" ”

Gu Weijun was also smiling: "China says that the two countries are separated by a strip of water, and the friendship between the two countries can be traced back to the ancient Qin and Han dynasties, and I believe that this negotiation can also restore the friendship between our two countries!" ”

When they shook hands, there were photographers taking pictures, and it is very likely that this photo will appear in the history textbooks of China and China in the future, when the spotlight flashed, Chen Huajun, one of the several military representatives in military uniforms at the back of the Chinese delegation, looked at Gu Weijun and Bihara Kishishiro, and muttered in his heart: "These people who engage in diplomacy are hypocritical!" ”

However, no matter how bold Rao is Chen Huajun on such occasions, he will not speak casually, but he knows that he is a spectator this time, and he can't say anything about the overall situation of the negotiation, and his father Chen Jingyun does not allow him to speak.

Compared to Chen Huajun, who was muttering in his heart, Chen Huatian next to him was looking at everyone expressionlessly, and he didn't know what to think in his heart.

Soon after the photo was taken, the members of both sides took their seats, but the only ones who could sit were a few core members of the negotiating delegation, and many of the attachés on both sides sat in the back row. The Chen brothers are naturally the same, in this negotiation delegation, in addition to the personnel of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, there are also several military representatives, the representative of the Chinese [***] side is headed by Lieutenant General Cheng Zixian, and there are three other school officers, and the Chen brothers are only attachés of these military representatives.

At the negotiation table, after some polite words between the two sides, Gu Weijun first took out a document: "This is a preliminary plan drawn up by my country, please take a look at it!" ”

Gu Weijun took out this plan first, and let Bihara Xi Shigero, who was also about to take out the plan, pause his movements, and then read it.

However, he didn't read much of the content, it just made him angry in his heart, and he was already a professional diplomat who had presided over diplomacy for many years, and he couldn't hide the anger on his face: "If this is your country's plan, then my country can't accept it!" ”
