readx; The United States said that the Americans were the supporters behind Chen Jingyun, and as long as there was a suitable time, the Americans would recognize the Nanjing Republican Axe as the only legitimate political axe of China, but it was not so easy for Britain, France, Germany and other countries, and there were many obstacles, such as the Nanjing Republican Axe did not recognize the various treaties signed by Yuan Shikai's Beiyang Political Axe with various countries after July 1, 1913, The agreements signed before July 1, 1913 were only limited in agreement, and the treaties signed with the foreign powers during the Manchu Qing Dynasty were accepted, but some of the terms that were detrimental to the dignity of the people still needed to be negotiated and discussed.

Naturally, the Great Powers hoped that the republican government in Nanjing would accept all the terms signed by the Manchus and Beiyang, and that as long as the status quo remained unchanged and interests were not lost, Britain would be happy to immediately support Chen Jingyun as the de facto ruler of China. As long as Britain admits it, the attitude of other countries will naturally change.

Although Wu Tingfang and others of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs have negotiated with the diplomats of the great powers many times, due to the great differences, the Beiyang political axe has been dissipated for a long time, and the Nanjing Republican political axe has still not been officially recognized by any country, and I have to say that this matter is somewhat ironic.

In addition to inspecting Yanjing, Chen Jingyun also took on a certain diplomatic task, and although everyone was happy at the reception and did not have too many conversations, the US Minister to China, Jia Leheng, had already had a two-hour private meeting with Chen Jingyun.

There were no other outsiders present in the talks, not even a translator, Chen Jingyun's unfluent English and Jia Leheng's unfamiliar Chinese were mixed in the conversation, and then this Chinese and English were mixed, and even mixed with a few French sentences in the private meeting, Chen Jingyun and Jia Leheng first talked about customs issues, the United States said that it would support China on customs tariffs, of course, he hoped that China would strictly abide by the open door policy on future customs tariffs and avoid setting up trade barriers. The U.S. doesn't mind supporting China's reassertion of tariff autonomy if China commits to maintaining preferential import tariffs on a large number of U.S. exports to China, especially industrial equipment. However, if China says that the withdrawal of tariffs will adopt the form of trade barriers to organize American goods to enter the Chinese market and support domestic enterprises, then it is not necessary to think that the United States supports China's withdrawal of tariffs.

Chen Jingyun did not dwell too much on this issue, in fact, he knew that it would be very difficult to convince the Americans on this point, because Chen Jingyun wanted to develop his own industry and commerce, especially in light industry, so it was almost certain to set up trade barriers, as long as China could produce its own products, then it was almost certain that high import tariffs would be levied to protect its own industry and commerce, and Chen Jingyun did not expect those weak and small domestic manufacturers to be able to compete with the capital of the great powers in a completely free capital environment.

But when it comes to trade and tariffs, the contradictions between the United States and China are far less than they are called. At present, almost all of the commodities exported by the United States to China are machinery, industrial equipment, and military supplies, and ordinary light industrial products do not even account for 1 percent of the share, and many American enterprises have also chosen to invest and set up factories in China to directly produce these light industrial products in China. And this status quo cannot be changed in a short period of time. Different from the so-called "Ben", in the export to China, the textile represented by cloth is the main force, while other light industrial products with little technical content occupy the vast majority of the share. Most of these products can be produced by China's own businesses, because of the high degree of similarity of the products, so this product is almost an all-round competition with Chinese products, from raw silk for export, to trains, soap and other ordinary domestic civilian products, almost all of them are all-round competition.

Based on the complementary surnames of Sino-US trade and the fact that China deliberately introduces US capital to invest directly in China, although there are certain contradictions in Sino-US trade, these are not irreconcilable, and such contradictions can be lowered in the face of political cooperation between China and the United States.

The common enemy of China and the United States is naturally called "Ben", especially the development of the US Navy in the past few years, but the US Navy has been unable to sleep at night, and as soon as the two Hanoi-class battleships have been put into service, the "Ben Navy can't wait to start construction of two Fuso-class battlecruisers, and four Kongo-class battlecruisers have gradually been completed and put into service, so that the pressure on the US Navy is becoming more and more huge." As a result, the alliance with China in the Far East has become more important.

Of course, no one in the United States regards China as an ally, but more as a force supported by itself, and does not have the same alliance relationship.

After skipping this issue, Jia Leheng also talked with Chen Jingyun about the land reform that the Kuomintang is carrying out in some parts of the southeast, and Jia Leheng, as the leading China expert in the United States, is naturally well aware of China's extremely serious land problem, and Jia Leheng also expressed some kind reminders on this point, hoping that the National Socialist Party will avoid adopting too radical policies and avoid corrupting the ruling base.

In addition to China's own domestic problems, it was inevitable to talk about the tense situation in Europe, which could already smell the smell of gunpowder, and Jia Leheng even directly judged that war in Europe would break out within a year, and said that the United States would be strictly neutral in the big war that was about to break out.

On the Qingdao issue, which was drawn up by the European war, Chen Jingyun said: "Once the European war breaks out, Qingdao may become a trigger for turmoil in the Far East." When the time comes, we will take all necessary measures to stop it! ”

Jia Leheng also nodded: "For the actions of your country's political axe, I personally say that it is understandable!" However, from our point of view, the stability of the Far East is of paramount importance! ”

Chen Jingyun knows very well that what the Americans want is stability in the Far East, and then obtain great commercial benefits here, the Americans have invested a huge amount of money in Chen Jingyun, and they need to get it back, naturally they don't want Chen Jingyun to go to war every day, and how can they make money if they destroy the whole of China, after all, not every American businessman is an arms dealer, and the interests of arms dealers cannot represent the interests of the entire United States. This coincides with the British, and if the Nationalist Army hastily fights the German army in Qingdao, it is difficult to guess what kind of attitude the Americans will have at that time. However, Chen Jingyun is very sure that if China fights for Qingdao at that time, it goes without saying that the Americans will definitely support him. The key question is, how strong is this support?

While talking about many issues, of course, the more important thing is that both sides continue to reaffirm their support for each other's position!

After Chen Jingyun and Jia Leheng held this private meeting, basically some major issues have been discussed by the two people, and the rest of the details have to be carried out by those diplomats, and after the diplomats have negotiated the specific details, they will be handed over to Chen Jingyun and the US Congress for approval, and then the two sides can formally establish diplomatic relations.

After Chen Jingyun and Jia Leheng talked, they also met with Zhu Erdian and other ministers, Zhu Erdian and usually, a British gentleman, and did not look at Chen Jingyun angrily because of the failure of Yuan Shikai, who he supported, on the contrary, the two people in addition to those major issues have differences, other aspects of the talk is happy, Zhu Erdian even said that Britain fully supports China's upcoming comprehensive anti-smoking action, but this is a major diplomatic relationship between the two countries in the talks, Zhu Erdian raised something that seemed trivial to Chen Jingyun compared to other topics of conversation between the two sides, that is, sulfonamides!

Zhu Erdian said that the logistics department of the British [***] side hopes to purchase a batch of antibiotics from the Chinese side!

Chen Jingyun was slightly stunned after hearing this, this antibiotic is also the trade name of sulfonamide, this thing Chen Jingyun naturally knows that it is very good, but although this thing is also important, it should not be said on today's occasion, you must know that what the two of them are talking about today is a national event, and they are negotiating for the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries.

Chen Jingyun also has a little understanding of the antibiotics produced by his own industry Tongkui Pharmaceutical, after Tongkui Pharmaceutical launched antibiotics, it has been famous all over the country in a short period of time, although it is impossible for ordinary people to use because of the high price, but people already know that there is such a miraculous drug that can cure all diseases, especially after Tongkui Pharmaceutical launched antimicrobial injections, its antibacterial ability is on a higher level, and doctors in the hospital will only use antibiotics when encountering traumatic infections, and even other diseases will use antibiotics to try their luck.

This kind of fame soon spread all over foreign countries, and the major hospitals in foreign countries soon used this new drug, and at this time, several generals of the British [***] side were also treated with antibiotics, and later received the return of some personnel stationed in China, saying that a new type of drug was used in the national army, which greatly reduced the death rate of wounded soldiers, and this kind of thing naturally attracted the attention of the high-level of the British logistics department, and it was determined that a large number of antibiotics were used in the national army, and this antibiotics did have anti-infectionAfter the fact that it can effectively reduce the death rate of wounded soldiers, a small part was soon collected for testing, and after being satisfied with the test results, the British logistics department was ready to purchase a batch of preparations for military use, but although Tongkui Pharmaceutical was officially put into large-scale production, although more than seventy percent of the output was used for export, but it was equally divided into so many countries among the great powers, it was naturally unable to meet such a huge demand, and about 15 percent of the antibiotic production of Tongkui Pharmaceutical was purchased by the National Army to supply the National Army. About 15 percent of the production is also supplied to major hospitals in China. The remaining 70 percent of the production is almost entirely for export, but the export is not only to the United Kingdom, but also to the United States, France, Germany, and even the United States, France, Germany, and even the United States, and as soon as these antibiotics reach the countries, the price immediately doubles to supply the major hospitals in various countries.

It is not easy for the British logistics department to collect such a large number of antibiotics, although it directly found Tongkui Pharmaceutical, but the output of Tongkui Pharmaceutical is so much, and now it is in short supply, and there is no excess production to supply the British [***] order, so it is delayed.

In view of the special system in China where everything is linked to politics, Zhu Erdian naturally inevitably received the task of cooperating with the logistics department of the British [***] side to purchase antibiotics.
