    Gu Weijun was a little strange. Before the trip, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs had submitted detailed reports on various governments and domestic political forces. Logically speaking, Yang Qiu should know very well what kind of flag this was, not to mention that he had repeatedly asked the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the intelligence department to pay attention to this social worker.  How come there is such a reaction to the party¡¯s movements?

    Fortunately, the loss of consciousness was only for a moment. After Miao Luo got off the car, Yang Qiu had returned to normal and walked towards the city hall.

    Bruening's sharp eyes noticed this subtle movement and pulled a thin man over: "Mr. President, please allow me to introduce you. This is Mr. Grim, the mayor of Hamburg. He is the national leader."  Member of the Workers¡¯ Party, the flag you saw just now was hung specially by him to express the Workers¡¯ Party¡¯s joy for your visit.¡±

    "I have long heard that your party has always been committed to the development of people's livelihood, but I didn't expect that it paid so much attention to Yang's visit. Thank you."

    Grimm seemed very happy and said after shaking hands with Milo: "As mayor, I would like to thank you for making Hamburg the first stop of your visit. Everyone here is looking forward to your arrival. And as a member of the Workers' Party, I  It is a great honor to meet you. Mr. Adolf has always admired your past work very much and mentioned you at rallies several times. He is in Berlin and hopes to meet you as soon as possible."

    Yang Qiu was slightly surprised. He remembered that there seemed to be no plan to meet Hitler in the itinerary. Could it be that he glanced at Br¨¹ning, who immediately explained: "Mr. Adolf has been included in the invitation list for the business meeting."

    "Oh." Yang Qiu suddenly felt like laughing.  Because he did not expect that Hitler would actually meet him, and even sneaked into the list of the Business Association for this purpose. The funniest thing is that Br¨¹ning actually generously allowed the opposition party to attend foreign affairs events that can only be attended by the government, which shows that the current situation in Germany  How chaotic the political world is.

    See you soon.  Although he had long wanted to meet figures like Roosevelt and Hitler, he was the president after all.  To put it bluntly, those people are not qualified unless the stabbing three times in Chapter 657 (1) was a deliberate arrangement.  And he can't just succumb to meeting them during his overseas trip, because this will leave people with the suspicion of interfering in the politics of other countries, and will instead cause dissatisfaction. Now that they are coming to his door, he might as well take a look at these "historical celebrities."

    As soon as he arrived in Germany, he got the news that Hitler wanted to see him, which made him somewhat absent-minded during the following cocktail party.  However, the enthusiasm of all walks of life in Germany has not diminished because of his mood. On the contrary, they have taken this opportunity to get closer, hoping to get a share of the 470 million market.

    Yang Qiu did not disappoint them. Although he had not yet met Hindenburg and could not announce what cooperation there would be, he still expressed his desire to strengthen Sino-German cooperation during his term of office.  Especially when companies such as Bavarian Machine Works and Krupp were named as world technology leaders, it made people smell the smell of big contracts.

    Yang Qiu¡¯s arrival in Germany triggered China fever in the European continent. While all countries were paying attention to his every move, the British people were quite dissatisfied that he bypassed the UK and visited Germany first.

    "Can I say anything bad about him?"

    The atmosphere in No. 10 Downing Street in the afternoon is relaxed. Although the economic crisis has made life difficult, it has not affected the British habit of drinking afternoon tea.  Foreign Secretary Arthur Henderson was sitting on the sofa, holding milk tea in one hand and a newspaper in the other.  Seeing that the article was full of news about Yang Qiu's visit to Europe, he scratched his brows and smiled bitterly at Prime Minister McDonald beside him: "This guy has become a big star."

    After Macdonald formed the cabinet for the second time, he implemented strict economic control policies, which prevented the UK from suffering too much losses, which also allowed him to gain the support of many citizens.  But as China and the United States get closer, the United Kingdom feels pressure, especially the news that Yang Qiu has placed an order of nearly 4 billion and received the U.S. government's agreement to exchange the unexpired 2 billion U.S. dollars of treasury bonds, which makes the British Empire feel a chill.

    Therefore, McDonald is quite dissatisfied with Yang Qiu's trip. Anyone who knows something about economics knows that if the free convertibility of U.S. Treasury bonds is expanded, what a terrible shock wave it will have on the European economy!  So he has been worried recently and asked: "Arthur, are the Americans really ready to freely exchange national debt?"

    Henderson shrugged helplessly: "I have informed the Americans, but they ignored my suggestions. Hoover seems to have firmed up on the idea of ??opening exchange and will submit a proposal to the senators in three days. According to the information he has learned  Look, the probability of passing will be very high.¡±

    "Shit! These damn upstarts, do they want to destroy Europe?" When he heard that the United States did not accept the suggestion and insisted on opening up freely convertible national debt, Macdonald couldn't help but uttered a curse word.  The impact of this incident is really great!  You must know that if the national debt of various countries is not mature, there is no way to exchange money. Therefore, once the United States opens up free convertibility, it will mean that many countries and individuals have money in their hands.U.S. Treasury bonds can be liquidated.  Although that much cash cannot be taken back and used directly, it can be used to purchase American goods.  The United States is now at its worst moment in history, with domestic goods and machines almost half sold and half given away.  Originally, everyone could only be jealous of the "robbery" behavior of China and the Soviet Union, because they could not come up with enough cash. But after the national debt can be liquidated in advance, it would be strange for these guys not to snap up.

    In this way, who will want British products?  How much market can the African and Indian colonies support with their poor purchasing power alone?  As for Canada and Australia, which have good purchasing power but have autonomy, they will definitely fall into the arms of the United States immediately!

    Seeing him frowning, Henderson had nothing to do. After the Lebanese Peace Conference, British-American relations had fallen to a freezing point, otherwise the United States would not have withdrawn from the League of Nations.  At a time when the United States is eager to expand exports, any action to protect trade will be seen as containing the United States, so Yang Qiu will be so popular after his arrival.  One has goods, the other has money and a market, so it would be strange not to work together.

    Now that the words have been spoken, he doesn¡¯t mind telling the bad news all at once, and continues: ¡°Mr. Prime Minister, in addition to China and the United States, I think we should pay more attention to the changes in Najd and the Saudi family!¡±

    "Saudi family?" McDonald was shocked, what happened to them?

    Henderson said: "I just went to Whitehall to meet with Alexander. He told me that the Navy Department has recently received a lot of information, saying that the activities of the Saudi family are very frequent. Family members frequently visit Persia, Turkey and other countries. They also participated in Yang Qiu's  inauguration, and had sent an envoy to the United States two days before. Alexander believed that they were impatient to establish a state after we recognized the jurisdiction of the House of Saud over Najd and Hejaz.

    Alexander also told me that after Yang Qiu¡¯s last visit to Najd, the Chinese Ministry of National Defense secretly provided a batch of weapons and equipment to the Saudi family. Their Gulf Oil Company also frequently visited various places in Najd, seemingly looking for new oil fields.  The Saudi family not only did not interfere with such work, but instead sent many guides to lead the way, so the Navy Department believed.  "

    ¡°Will China support the Saudi family in establishing a state?!¡± McDonald blurted out.

    "What else is there?" Henderson said: "The Gulf Oil Company has been very, very active in the past year. There is evidence that they also provided political donations to Reza Pahlavi and obtained land in southwestern Persia.  Oil exploration rights and sold a batch of advanced weapons to it, including at least 40 tanks and 100 cannons. In addition, the Chinese government has officially sent notes to the governments of Persia and Afghanistan, hoping to open Andijan to Khorasan Province in northern Persia.  Then to Tehran and finally the air flight to Najd.¡±

    "Damn it! This yellow-skinned monkey is provoking the bottom line of the British Empire!" McDonald angrily picked up the cigar and took a few puffs.  After the brief war in Afghanistan, countries around the world have seen the importance of air transportation, so they have opened many routes, but this route has too much political significance!

    It must be stopped!

    Seeing the look in McDonald's eyes, Henderson understood the meaning and nodded: "I will try my best."

    McDonald breathed a sigh of relief, then thought about the recently started naval negotiations, and asked: "Is there any progress in the naval meeting? Regarding the four battleships, how did the Chinese explain it? Has Japan agreed to sign a new treaty?"

    After the Beijing-class battleship was launched, it caused a strong sensation in Europe and the United States.  Not only because it is the first super battleship built by various countries after the Washington Treaty, but also because of the scale of building 4 ships at once!  Everything in the British Empire is based on maritime hegemony, so it is more concerned about this class of battleships." Henderson said: "The Chinese did not explain too much. They only said that they did not violate the treaty.  However, they have promised to consider signing a new treaty and also stated that they will retire two Anhai-class battlecruisers in the near future.  But in terms of destroyers, they, like France and Italy, refused to limit the tonnage of destroyers.  Japan is still considering that the four Chinese battleships have put a lot of pressure on them. They hope to obtain terms for decommissioning two old battleships and building new ones. If they cannot agree, they may consider withdrawing from the naval treaty.  "

    McDonald¡¯s face was solemn. China is only boycotting the destroyer clause. If Japan withdraws, will the Chinese government also withdraw?  Seeing that the United States is about to pass the proposal of freely convertible national debt, the British economy will definitely be affected by that time. If China and Japan successively withdraw from the naval treaty at this time, then the statement of maintaining the existence of the Far East will become a laughing stock.

    While the two were discussing some recent events and looking for solutions, footsteps suddenly sounded from outside.  Alexander, the Admiralty Minister whom I mentioned just now, came in with a stiff look on his face and put a telegram on the table: "Telegram from Mr. Prime Minister Calcutta. Last night, a group of armed bandits attacked the prison and rescued the imprisoned people.  Chandra.¡±

    "Subhas Chandra Bose?  !  "

    MacDonald jumped up immediately and roared: "Who did it? Are those in the Congress Party so good?"

    No wonder he was excited, Chandra was such a headache for Britain.  Although he and Nehru were both members of the Congress, Nehru at least knew that he should cooperate with the British, and this guy was simply a saboteur!  Not only has he publicly called for armed independence many times, but he has also had a record of inciting militants to attack British troops, and was hailed by Downing Street as India's number one terrorist criminal.

    In the past, Gandhi could still suppress him, but now that Gandhi is dead, this guy is simply lawless, and even Nehru cannot control him!  That's why the British quickly arrested him and considered deporting him.  But before he could decide where to exile him, this guy was actually rescued by armed men!

    "I don't know yet, but I think there are three possibilities. Congress Party radicals, the Soviets or the Chinese!" Alexander raised three fingers and waved them vigorously
