    China's biggest rival is not Japan, but the United States.  Although Japan seems to be powerful, if China is truly unified, there will not be much difference between the two. China's overall strength may even be slightly stronger than Japan's.  This world war is the prelude to the true reunification of China.  Those warlords who have caused huge disasters and countless troubles to China cannot survive this world war. Even if they survive, they will eventually collapse in front of the central government that has become stronger after experiencing strong winds and heavy rains.  Japan's inherent deficiencies also prevented it from sustaining this world war.  Therefore, in East Asia, the ultimate winner will only be China.  And Japan was defeated, and all European countries suffered losses. The Soviet Union also suffered heavy losses due to various calculations, and even lost important territory in Asia. So, the only one who can eventually become an opponent of China is the United States.  Qin Wei is very glad that he wrote historical articles before.  Because he writes history, he can understand history and gain some insights from history.  He knows that although the rise of the United States is not as full of thorns as other countries, it also does not develop smoothly.  In the past, it suffered from the pain of free trade led by the British government.  It learned from the painful experience and was determined to transform. However, it encountered unexpected and powerful obstacles, and therefore endured an even greater pain: the Civil War!  What was the cause of the war that had a huge impact on the United States?  Many might say it was to free the black slaves on slave-owning plantations in the American South.  In fact, this is bullshit, it's just the Yankees trying to put gold on their faces.  There may have been a few abolitionists who sympathized with black people in the United States at that time, but these people were not the mainstream at all, not even the lowest.  Otherwise, after experiencing the Civil War, black people would not have been suffering from discrimination and bullying by white people until the 1960s.  At that time, it had been more than a hundred years since the outbreak of the Civil War. Americans who focused on efficiency could not truly "liberate the black slaves." This was so unreasonable.  Therefore, the Civil War actually has little to do with black people.  The real reason for the outbreak of the war was actually the war between the free trade, agricultural, and serfdom South and the protectionist, industrial North.  The cause of the war was the demand by the serfdom South for free trade to promote and secure their tobacco and cotton exports to Europe.  The central and northern states, in order to protect their industries, demanded high tariffs.  Because in 1812, after the second war with Britain, a large number of British industrial products poured into the American market.  Seriously threatening the fledgling industry of the United States, the United States set off a wave of requests for Congress to protect the domestic economy. In 1816, the U.S. Congress passed the first protectionist tariff law. Since then, protectionism has been increasing day by day, and protectionist legislation has continued.  By 1828.  The U.S. tariff law even stipulates that tariffs on imported goods will increase to an average of 50 to 60 percent of the price of the goods.  As a result, this aroused fierce opposition from the South, because such high tariffs will inevitably lead to retaliation from European countries in terms of import tariffs, causing the prices of goods exported from the South to Europe to rise, and exports from the South will inevitably be hit.  South Carolina declared the law invalid in the state and prohibited the federal government from collecting taxes at the state's ports.  this.  It was the trigger for the American Civil War.  Lincoln¡¯s original intention in ultimately deciding to launch the war was not the so-called ¡°abolition of slavery¡± at all, but to develop the country¡¯s industry.  The reason for the slogan "abolition of slavery" was simply to attract as many black slaves as possible to join the Northern army and win the war.  In fact, black slaves served as cannon fodder for the industrial capitalists in the northern United States. It was they who cleared the way for the industrialization of the United States. It was they who liberated the industrial capitalists in the northern United States and who maintained the unity of the United States.  And it is by no means an American who "ever launched a huge civil war for the freedom and rights of a small number of black people".  This is putting the cart before the horse!  If you don¡¯t believe it, just take a look at the arrangements of the United States after the war: On the surface, the manor economy of the slave system was abolished, but after the war, the federal government of the United States returned a large amount of land and property to the original slaves  host!  Those "liberated" black slaves who shed blood and died in the war did not get the land. They wanted to get the land.  It must be purchased with money.  However, they were slaves before the war and had no savings. Where would they get the money to buy land?  !  at last.  They still returned to the land of their original slave owners, and were still enslaved and exploited by those slave owners!  The majestic "Emancipation Proclamation" did not involve the issue of land in the southern United States. In other words, the way out for black people after this war was not at all considered by the white interest-oriented government and President Lincoln.  Of course, Americans also have reasons: Is private property sacred and inviolable?  When a country goes to war, it does not mean that it will embezzle private property. This is against the rules.  Qin Wei actually doesn¡¯t care about the Civil War, let alone?If you care about the living environment of black people in the United States, even if you pay attention to it occasionally, you are just watching it.  What he is concerned about is that the time has finally come for the United States to transform from a local power to a global hegemon At this time, the United States, relying on its high nationalism and long-term trade protectionism, has acquired the power and capital of imperialism.  After becoming the "only victor" in World War II and gaining the status of global hegemon, it will soon discover that the "free trade" that once caused great harm to it will in turn become the sharpest weapon in its hands.  Then, it will throw this spear at everyone The famous "Marshall Plan" is actually the product of free trade, and in the name of reviving Europe, it eventually allowed the United States to control the European economy, and  This control has been going on for a long time.  If the strength of European countries were not bad, and if the leaders of European countries had not known the purpose of the Americans and worked hard to get rid of this control after the economy recovered, I am afraid that European countries would still be the little brothers of the United States and the banknote warehouses of the United States for future generations.  .  And this can be known just by looking at Japan's performance.  I think back then, the Japanese were shouting the slogan "Japan First" while vigorously challenging the US leader economically. However, the Americans only briefly implemented their own definition of "free trade" in Japan.  ", which reduced Japan from a challenger to a second-rate follower.  Excluding Europe and Japan, the Latin American economy, which once created a "miracle", also quickly fell under the banner of American "free trade."  China is not Europe, which has more than a hundred years of capitalist heritage; nor is it Japan in the 1980s after the war, which had an economy but no military strength and would not arouse the vigilance of the US boss until the last moment; nor is it a group of scattered Latin American countries.  .  China will become the target of "free trade" by the United States from the very beginning, and its fragile economic system will not be able to withstand the free trade attacks of the Yankees.  Any American who truly has a vision and is determined to keep the United States firmly in control of global hegemony will not sit back and watch the rise of China.  Roosevelt was such a person.  Qin Wei can be sure that once World War II ends, this guy will do something evil to China.  Even if he might not survive 1945, his successor would do it anyway.  Of course, China will not fall for it.  Because after the end of the Anti-Japanese War, the Liberation War will break out.  The old Chiang Kai-shek supported by the Americans suffered a complete defeat and withdrew from mainland China.  But Americans don't know this.  Therefore, Qin Wei believed that this was an opportunity, and he planned to use this information advantage to obtain sufficient benefits for China first.  "Most Favored Nation" was just a bait he gave to Roosevelt. Many of the conditions he asked Gu Changjun to help find someone to formulate Fortunately, his other self left that guy hundreds of billions of antique calligraphy, paintings and literary works, and  Gu Changjun thus became the director of the only high-end history museum in Hong Kong.  Otherwise, as a former Internet writer, how could this guy have obtained the secondary detonation technology of the cloud bomb, and it was even less possible to find those economic scholars to formulate such a detailed plan for him.  This so-called "trade most-favored-nation treatment" draft plan cannot be formulated by scholars from the Republic of China period, because those guys are very likely to misunderstand him even if those people know that he has created this "trade most-favored-nation treatment"  "The draft specifically limited the name of the National Government, and specifically stipulated the period of application, which was only valid in 1950. In addition, this was just a draft. At most, it could only be regarded as an intention, not a real agreement.  But Qin Wei believed that Roosevelt would definitely bite this bait!  Although Roosevelt and his think tanks could definitely see the "obstacles" he set at a glance, they could not escape the temptation of a huge market with a population of 500 million.  If it can swallow up this market, the United States will be like the United Kingdom that controlled India and obtain the cornerstone for another economic boom.  And this time's take-off will not only be an ordinary leap, but will be like Sun Wukong learning somersault clouds, a qualitative change from "climbing the clouds" to "soaring the clouds".  ¡­ ¡°So, Roosevelt and his men will definitely agree to hand over Japan¡¯s industry to us, at least most of it. Even if China goes too far and directly annexes the British colonies in Southeast Asia, they will also silently do so in the end.  Accept it as long as we can cope with the British revenge in the future. But I don¡¯t think everyone cares too much about the ¡®empire on which the sun never sets¡¯?¡± Qin Wei said to Lao Jiang and others in Chongqing, Huangshan Villa.  "It sounds really exciting. But will the Americans take the bait so easily? They are different from the declining powers in the UK. They are intact." Opposite Qin Wei, next to Kong Xiangxi, the Japanese had just been  Release backKong Lingkan raised his question with a serious face.
