    In an economic crisis, money is not the most important thing. What is terrible is that the social economy has almost stopped. On one side, there are people who are hungry, on the other side, there is food rotting on the farms and milk being poured into the rivers.  China has taken great pains to recruit these workers, providing them with food, clothing, supplies, and even coffee and cigarettes.  Therefore, more and more American workers are crowding in front of Chinese recruitment offices. They have experience in bargain hunting in Germany. These workers are quite professional. What they need are real talents. They have worked in the factory floor for more than ten or twenty years.  The old technicians, as for those who want to cheat food and drink, will be kicked out as soon as possible.  Guo Zhen is a second-generation Chinese born in the United States. He has received American education since he was a child, and he has no knowledge of that distant motherland.  In recent years, he often sees his parents and grandparents crying in front of an old newspaper, crying and laughing, just like children.  He also gradually understood that China has stood up again, defeated many opponents, restored its unity, and is developing its economy rapidly.  But compared to the prosperous and developed United States, the gap between China and China is still too far, so far that he doesn't even want to think about it.  But the sudden Great Depression shattered his superstition in the United States, and that paradise-like place began to shatter.  At this time, the Chinese suddenly arrived in the United States, and they almost became saviors.  Because he knew Chinese, Guo Zhen took the initiative to act as a translator, and countless Americans came here every day.  These American workers who were hungry and in extreme poverty all wanted to go to China to make a living. Looking at the long queue, Guo Zhen yearned for China for the first time.  "I am a senior fitter. This is my work ID and proof of professional skills." A white man in his forties tremblingly handed the document to Guo Zhen, who took a look at it.  Suddenly his eyes lit up. This guy was a fitter from General Motors. He had twenty years of work experience. He was definitely a technical backbone in the workshop.  "Sir, you have two choices, one is a five-year work contract, and the other is a ten-year work contract." "Is there any difference?" "With a five-year contract, you can only get a settling-in allowance, and only you can  You can go to China alone. If you have a ten-year contract, China will allow you to bring your family. After working for ten years, you will be assigned a house and you will also be entitled to medical care, pension, and accident insurance.  All of this will be paid for by China, ensuring that you will have no worries for the rest of your life. "China wants to recruit workers.  It's impossible for them to work for just one or two years. If they wait until the U.S. economy improves and then walk away, it will be too little help to China.  Therefore, the minimum number of years is also five years, so that China can learn their technology leisurely.  ¡°Those who are willing to work for more than ten years are basically considered skilled immigrants.  China definitely attaches great importance to these talents, and their treatment is quite generous.  After the workers in line became aware of the situation, they all became commotion.  Everyone was talking about it.  "Sign a ten-year contract and you will have no worries for the rest of your life. I didn't expect that the treatment in China is better than that in the United States." "The whole family went to a strange place. I can't believe it. Maybe in five years,  The United States has recovered, and we can come back just in time. ""Dream, I don't think the United States will get better in ten thousand years. I have completely despaired of the United States! "" These workers were talking about it, and they all had their own plans.  In the end, the fitter chose a ten-year contract. He was no longer young. He just wanted to be with his family and live a stable life. It didn't matter where he went.  The U.S. government is also troubled by the unemployment wave at this time. It can only turn a blind eye to China's poaching behavior and allow thousands of workers to flow to China.  In New York and other places, there are special Chinese passenger ships responsible for bringing these skilled workers back to China.  In addition, a large amount of purchased equipment was shipped quickly.  There are talents and equipment, but what is missing is entrepreneurs. As long as these three are integrated, China's new industrial zones will appear.  After Zhang Tinglan reorganized the enterprise, he launched special entrepreneurial support funds to encourage the development of emerging enterprises. In economically active areas such as Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Guangdong and Guangxi, factories are springing up like bamboo shoots after a rain.  While the world is in mourning, the East has entered an upward trajectory against the trend.  "Dad, how are your health these days?" "You have enough to eat and sleep well, so there's nothing wrong with it!" Zhang Zuoxiang said with a smile, "It's you, your eyes have been red all day long.  National affairs cannot be completed in a day or two, so pay more attention to your health." Zhang Tinglan also smiled bitterly: "This big crisis is of great significance.This is a rare opportunity, how dare I slack off!  Dad, this is not only an economic crisis, but also a world political crisis. If countries are in crisis, they will sink deeper and deeper into the crisis, and they may even be unable to get out.  It will inevitably embark on the road of military expansion. If we don't seize the time to strengthen industry, we are afraid that we will suffer a loss in the next world war!  "Zhang Zuoxiang was also shocked: "Idiot, do you really think it will develop into a world war?  " "The relationship is inseparable. Since the tariff war, this trend has become stronger and stronger. Britain and France relied on their huge colonies to establish small markets.  The whole world is divided into several parts. How can countries like Germany, Italy, and Japan, which have small markets and insufficient colonies, be willing to accept this? In addition, Russia's industrialization has also entered the fast lane.  Coupled with the United States and China, can our size tolerate Britain and France dominating the world? An unprecedented war is absolutely inevitable.  " "Hey, I didn't expect it to be so serious. I am old and useless. I can't help you" "Dad, you are not old. Besides, is there really something I need your help with?  "    "oh?  Zhang Zuoxiang suddenly became interested and said with a smile: "What is it? As long as I can do it, I am obligated."  " "How about you pay a visit to Europe for me?  "Zhang Tinglan said with a smile; "Dad, large-scale construction is going on in China right now, and I really can't get away, but the situation in Europe is too important.  After much deliberation, you, the veteran, are the only one who can take action.  Zhang Zuoxiang laughed loudly: "No problem, I agreed, but I have a dark eye on the West and don't understand anything. Don't make people laugh."  " "Don't be afraid. No one is laughing at you these days, and you don't dare to laugh at the God of Wealth. I will always prepare a billion dollars in purchasing expenses for you. Just throw the money around, and I guarantee that all countries will regard you as the God of Wealth.  Zhang Zuoxiang frowned: "One billion dollars is not a small amount. You can rest assured that the steel will be used on the blade and will never be wasted."  But if you just spend money, you still can't find me. Tell me, is there anything secret?  " Zhang Tinglan smiled slightly: "You really know everything, and I can't hide anything from you. I want you to go to Germany, meet with Hitler, the leader of the Nazi Party, and express our willingness to support his cause and provide them with 10 million funds.  .  "Ten million! This is not a small amount. Zhang Zuoxiang's face suddenly became solemn: "I would like to say, if you spend so much money, is this Hitler's ability to seize power in Germany again?  " "Yes, I am very optimistic about his party. If I support him now, when they come to power, I will be rewarded a thousand times!  " Zhang Zuoxiang has also been restless these years. He immediately prepared to leave for Europe. In addition, Zhang Xueliang, who was familiar with the situation in Europe, also acted with him. They took the cruiser Yantai and crossed the ocean to Europe. " Just when Zhang Zuoxiang just left  At that time, another group of people came to China in a hurry. It was Chilean Navy Minister Victor and Bachelet. Chile and China had just completed the warship contract, and their relationship was quite close. Navy Commander Shen Honglie personally received them.  "General Victor, what do you want to do when you come to China?  Is it a battleship problem?  "Yes, I first want to verify one thing. Can China help Chile build a warship as scheduled?"  " "Of course there is no problem. At Jiangnan Shipyard, we have laid the keel and the project is proceeding as expected. If you are interested, you can go and see the progress of the project now.  " "Thank God.  "Victor let out a sigh of relief. Shen Honglie glanced at these two people and asked unhappily: "Did you hear any bad news?  Is there any news that China will default?  "Bachelet on the side looked embarrassed, glanced at Victor, and then said hesitantly: "It was the Americans who breached the contract!  ¡± It turns out that in order to equip the battleships with auxiliary ships, Chile was just like the United States ordering a heavy cruiser. The Americans fully agreed. However, as soon as construction started, they encountered an economic crisis. The shipyard asked Chile to invest more. But the Chileans had just sent the funds.  The shipyard went bankrupt, and all the Chileans' advance payments were in vain. They could only protest to the U.S. government, but the explanation given by the Americans made Chile vomit blood. Originally, according to the Washington Treaty, the contracting countries were not allowed to sell battleships.  , even large-caliber naval guns are not allowed. According to common sense, Chile¡¯s naval bid is impossible. However, the biggest variable during this period is China! Since China is not a party, but the navy is advancing by leaps and bounds, so various countries have.  Discussing whether to re-enter the treaty, or to bring China in, or to completely abolish restrictions, during this gap period, major shipyards are trying to provide maritime services.After building momentum, he participated in the Chilean bidding.  ¡°It¡¯s fortunate that Chile gave the contract to China, otherwise they probably wouldn¡¯t have been able to get the warships, and the U.S. Congress could have completely rejected it.  Heavy cruisers are also subject to restrictions, and it is almost unthinkable for the Chileans to win the lawsuit.  After hitting a wall in the United States, Victor was worried that the same problem would occur in China, so he hurried to China.  After learning the inside story, Shen Honglie said emphatically: "You don't have to worry. The Chinese are very particular about keeping promises, and there will definitely be no mistakes in the warships that should be sold to you." "That's great, Mr. Commander, Chile's financial situation is also a bit difficult.  , I wonder if the construction funds can be delayed a little."
