    The Olympic delegation has left Shanghai.  But Hua Fei did not feel relaxed.  It can even be said that in the years since Mikawa raised his troops, it has been very rare to see such continuous and uninterrupted busyness as in the first half of this year.  Ingrid Harman came back from the United States once on the way, but apart from a brief meeting with her, Hua Fei didn't even have time to be intimate with her.

    The reason why Haman let go of many affairs in the United States and returned to China was because of their daughter Hua Juan.  Poor little Huajuan is now six years old, but in her young and blank memory, she has never seen her father more than six times, and the most time she has seen her father is definitely not six days.

    Later, Haman went to the United States to help Hua Fei manage his business in the United States, leaving Hua Juan alone in her hometown.  Although everyone in the Hua family regards little Huajuan as a princess-like existence, to Huajuan, she has gradually become more sensible.  Loneliness has arisen inexplicably in her childlike heart, because even the children of servants at home can enjoy the care and tenderness of their parents all day long.  But even though the Hua family took good care of her inside and outside, Hua Juan still felt that she was like an orphan abandoned by her parents.

    I don¡¯t know if it¡¯s a psychological factor.  Or due to physical reasons, after a cold and fever, Xiao Huajuan continued to have a high fever and talked nonsense.  This scared the entire Hua family to death.  Butler Liu, who was stumbling a little, was alarmed. You said that the only young master of the Hua family, the only one who has been married for more than six years, is the apple of his eye.  If something unexpected happens, even if everyone in the Washington government asks for death, they may not be able to face the deceased old man of the Chinese family!

    When Hua Fei received the telegram, he was comprehensively dealing with the largest fiscal crisis in history facing the government.  Although he was anxious, he finally gave up his decision to return to his hometown and just sent his personal guard to Sanhe to take a look.  Hua Fei admitted that as a father and even as a husband, he was undoubtedly extremely incompetent.  How could he not want to hug his wife and lie in the garden basking in the warm sun, playing and amusing with his lovely daughter.  He also hopes to sleep with his wife in his arms and watch his children sleeping peacefully. In his heart, he also longs for the same simple happiness as countless ordinary people.  Just, just he can't.  He could not ask to leave his wife and not go to the United States, because the United States needed her too much.  He could not take his children with him because he had no fixed residence, was traveling around, and might even go to the battlefield at any time.  He can certainly use his power, and I believe that even if he did, no one would say anything.  But Hua Fei didn't do this, he understood that he couldn't!

    in this way.  As Hua Juan's condition continued to not improve, Housekeeper Liu could no longer calm down and directly sent a telegram to his wife in the United States.  Haman immediately put down everything he was doing and rushed back to China.  After Hua Juan recovered, she took Hua Juan to the United States.  She said that since a father cannot take care of his daughter, let the mother take on this responsibility.

    After many years of marriage, Haman and Hua Fei have never had a blush, let alone a quarrel.  Although she is an American, in some aspects, Hua Fei believes that his wife undoubtedly has all the excellent qualities of traditional Chinese women, and also has some characteristics of Western women, which really makes Hua Fei unable to find any shortcomings.  Even Butler Liu, who had the biggest objection at the beginning, later admired their wife in Washington.

    But this time, because of something as trivial as the child's cold, Haman became angry.  But she didn't say much, she just told Hua Fei that as a mother, she was worried about leaving her child alone at home without being able to see her father and mother.  so.  She hopes to bring her children back to the United States so they can be cared for.  Harman said that no matter how busy she is at work, she will take time to go home every night and stay with her daughter, so that she can feel that at least her mother is around.

    ¡°Hua Fei and Haman have been married for so many years, and he has never seen Haman talking to him like this.  But even so, Haman still did not express her complaints, and even her request for her daughter to stay with her was very tactful.  Hua Fei understood that with Haman's character, she was very tolerant and tolerant for her to be able to do this.  The reason why she did this was not because of Hua Fei's power and presidential position, but because of her loyal and unyielding love for Hua Fei.  Although this love definitely does not occupy the first place in Hua Fei's heart, for Haman, it is everything to her.

    Hua Fei personally sent Haman and his daughter to the passenger ship. Although Hua Juan, who was already very sensible, only spent a few hours with Hua Fei, after she learned that she was going to the distant United States, she still tried to stay and faced her  Hua Fei howled.  The little girl already subconsciously understood where her hometown was.

    Hua Fei could hardly control the tears in his eyes, but he knew very well that it might be better for Hua Juan to stay with her mother than to have her stay in her hometown in Sanhe.  At least, her mother will be by her side every day.

    The emotion of parting did not disturb Hua Fei for too long. It was not that he was cold-blooded or heartless, or that he had no feelings for his wife and daughter.  on the contrary.  only himselfIt is clear how deep his love for Haman and Hua Juan is.  And unlike many families, Hua Fei's emotions also contained a lot of unspeakable guilt.

    It¡¯s just that Hua Fei must choose and give up.  There is no best of both worlds. The best of both worlds is just a kind of balance, a way of sacrificing the weight of one party to increase the weight of the other party in order to seek a seeming balance.

    The financial crisis of the Nanjing central government seems to have been resolved, but this is only a preliminary plan. If it cannot effectively curb fiscal expenditures and expand fiscal revenue, the future will be even more difficult.  With Taiwan in a deadlock and the Northeast issue lingering on for a long time, military spending has become a hard part of fiscal spending and is difficult to reduce.  To expand fiscal revenue, it is necessary to increase investment in domestic infrastructure and comprehensively promote the development of industrial and commercial enterprises, so as to create the possibility for subsequent increases in fiscal revenue.  However, as military spending cannot be reduced and finances are always on the verge of tight budgets and even bankruptcy, infrastructure spending must be limited.  This creates a dead end that is difficult to solve for the leadership of the Nanjing Central Committee.  It is undoubtedly a huge test.

    Another more realistic problem is that although in recent years, with the rapid increase of domestic national capital, we are facing the strong competitiveness of foreign products.  However, with its abundant resource advantages and large labor force, especially after the end of World War I, the large number of Chinese workers who returned from Europe to assist Europe have shortened the processing technology gap between China's manufacturing industry and foreign countries.  Coupled with the close cooperation with Germany, the technological gap in various industries is getting smaller and smaller.  In the past few years, domestic national capital has not only rapidly seized the domestic market, but also begun to develop comprehensive foreign markets.

    But as the top priority of domestic heavy industry.  However, the development of the arms industry has been severely slowed down, and production capacity is severely overcapacity.  This was mainly due to the expansion of the Wehrmacht during World War I and even later in World War I, which caused the production capacity of the arms industry to greatly exceed the actual domestic demand.  Although the National Defense Forces have had major battles and minor battles almost every year over the years, the intensity has dropped rapidly since the unification of Beiyang.  Nowadays, severe restrictions on military expenditures have caused the arms industry to suffer the biggest winter since its inception.

    But Hua Fei has always maintained the operation of the arms industry and even provided military subsidies. Even at the highest period, the overcapacity of the arms industry reached as much as 60%.  This is not only because Hua Fei knows the significance of the arms industry to national security, but also because these industries are easy to destroy, but rebuilding them will definitely not happen overnight.  More importantly, when the war of the century comes, this arms production capacity may not be enough.

    ¡°While Hua Fei and other high-level officials from the central government were holding consecutive meetings, a piece of national policy advice from an ordinary citizen at the county level aroused great repercussions within the central government.  In this letter, a county-level government official signed by Wang Mian criticized the current policy toward Japan in the national policy advisory. Wang Mian believed that the government's strategic intention was completely contrary to the strategic thinking of classical strategic thinkers of distant relations and close attacks.  The economic gap between China and Japan is not large, but in terms of military affairs, especially the navy, the Sea of ??Japan has the upper hand.

    Even if China can finally defeat Japan through a long-term war of attrition, the outcome will definitely be a lose-lose scenario.  Even if Japan is completely defeated, Japan really does not have much resource value that China cares about, and it is impossible to obtain much war compensation.  But for China, they not only waste their limited finances on foreign wars, but also slow down the development of the domestic industrial and commercial economy.  At the same time, a large amount of troops, military, material and financial resources were lost in the war with Japan.  More importantly, the loss of a precious golden period of rapid development has greatly slowed down the growth of China's national power.

    Although there have always been grievances between China and Japan, looking at countries around the world, this long-cherished wish with China is not unique to Japan.  Why should the Nanjing Central Committee be entangled with Japan as if they were mortal enemies?  Two dogs fight, play off.  The process and outcome of the Sino-Japanese war are still happy for the international financial bankers.  Because as long as there is a war, financial crisis is inevitable.  That would allow them to lend money and become an important source of income for them.  The reason why Nanjing had difficulty obtaining loans from Britain, France and other countries before was not only due to political factors, but also due to their lack of interest in such loans with limited profits.  Their real purpose was to sit and evaluate. No one would have thought that the Chinese not only got loans from American banks, but the amount was much smaller than they imagined.

    Wang Yan made a big statement. What concerned Hua Fei the most was his evaluation of Sino-Japanese relations and his clear understanding of the status and structure of the international economy.  Especially his words, looking at the Nanjing government's policy towards Japan, it seems that there are too many personal emotional factors involved, far more than considerations of national interests.  The Nanjing Central Committee not only needs to learn to solve problems militaryly, but also needs to understand negotiation, which is not only a way to solve problems, but also a means of tactical confusion.
