When another space-time “open door” policy was proposed, the United States had just won the Spanish-American War, stepping on the corpse of the old colonial country Spain, and formally proposed the United States as an emerging force.
At that time, Africa had been divided up. Oceania was the imprisonment of Britain. Qing Dynasty was the only semi-colonial and semi-feudal society in the world.
The reason why the “semi-feudal” can still be retained is not because of how strong the rule of the Qing Dynasty is, but because the imperialist countries have checks and balances, and no one is allowed to have a monopoly, so the United States has the opportunity to propose an “open door”. At the very least, all imperialist countries can focus on how to extract their benefits instead of guarding one another.
The relationship between Li Mu and Arthur is very close. When Li Mu faces Arthur, there is no need to hide anything, even if it is a policy that is not conducive to the Qing Dynasty, Li Mu can hide everything.
Because Li Mu is very clear, as long as Arthur is in power, if one day, Li Mu needs Arthur to propose a “gateway closure”, Arthur will try his best to cooperate, all policies are for the benefit of the arts, and Arthur will view the US interests Is it more important than your own interests?
Not necessarily, Arthur is not that great.
“The open door is a very good idea.” Arthur did not immediately understand the essence of “open door”.
“Yes, the door is open. You know the status quo of the Qing Dynasty. It is a piece of fat that is enough to drive a lot of people crazy. It is impossible for the British or the French to dominate the Qing Dynasty market. We are even more impossible, so now we have to do It is not to emphasize the existence of the United States as much as possible, but to create an opportunity for fair competition for everyone. We can do our best under the premise of fairness, but all actions must be carried out within the scope allowed by the rules, and the Far East is no longer unbridled. The hunting ground is an amusement park where all of us compete on a level playing field. It ’s good to win. Do n’t complain if you lose. Even if you do n’t get enough, it ’s better than nothing. ”Li Mu needs a lot of space. All eyes are on making money, then Li Mu can do what he wants to do, and it won’t attract attention.
A very realistic problem, whether British or French, the agents they sent to the Qing Dynasty were all white people. They were not in harmony with the Qing Dynasty. They stood in the crowd and could be recognized at a glance.
Li Mu’s people are different. Most of Li Mu’s men are Chinese. The skin color gives them an irreplaceable intimacy. They can easily integrate into the Qing people and be accepted by the Qing people as quickly as possible.
In this way, the gap is very obvious. Whether it is to open up the market or bewilder the propaganda, the Chinese always occupy the innate advantage. When the British and the French realize that the situation in the Qing Dynasty has changed, they do not have enough time to respond. Thanks for this. The lagging news spreads speed. Thanks also to the cumbersome and complicated decision-making systems of Britain and France. When the British and French reacted, the Qing government should have been overthrown. By then, the British and French could only accept it, regardless of the Qing Dynasty. Whoever decides the land is British and French can only choose to cooperate. As for the Russians, Li Mu has not considered it at all. The Russians are now diligent. After the establishment of Vladivostok, the Russians should not be able to move eastward.
“Just business development? I feel that your plan should not be so simple. See how you treat Chinese Americans in the United States, that is, objective conditions do not allow it, otherwise I feel that you will emigrate all Chinese to the United States.” Arthur I do n’t believe Li Mu ’s words, or Arthur does not believe that Li Mu ’s tossing is just to make money. If it ’s just to make money, then Li Mu has many options. There is no need to incite Arthur to propose any openness.
Ca n’t blame Arthur ’s thought. Li Mu ’s previous protection of Chinese people is too obvious. The United States is an immigrant country. Almost all people are immigrants. Rockefeller is French and J.P. Morgan is British. They None of them showed too much tendency towards their own ethnic group. Only Li Mu, who was too diligent towards the Chinese, was hard to keep Arthur from thinking.
“Of course not all, Chester. I hate the Qing government. I hate it very much. The hate you can’t imagine. It has nothing to do with my ethnicity. It has nothing to do with my background. I just think that if you change the government, you will Cooperate with us more pragmatically, rather than blindly doubting and resisting. I think you should know something. The Junma Group and I have never done anything detrimental to the Qing Dynasty, but the Qing government has not given me what it should. Respect, so Chester, Leo returned to the Qing Dynasty not only to make money, but also to create better terms of trade. I think it is worth it. “Li Mu acknowledged that Yan Shun’s return to the Qing Dynasty was not pure, but he was not pure with Arthur. Think differently, Li Mu’s ultimate goal is to make money, everything else is secondary.
Even without Li Mu’s participation, the Qing government’s rule could not be maintained for a long time. This regime was inherently bad and can’t keep up with the times. Its existence is incompatible with the world. It cannot adapt to the international trend to the outside and maintains it without improvement. Day after day, even the rulers of the Qing Dynasty did not have the confidence to lead the rise of the Qing Dynasty and compete with Western countries.
The establishment of the Qing Dynasty was an accident at the time. The rulers of the Qing Dynasty did not expect the Ming Dynasty to fail so quickly. The term “stolen data” was appropriate for the Qing Dynasty. But where do they have confidence? But just one day counts.
According to Li Mu, the behavior of the Junma Group in the Qing Dynasty is limited, but it is not just the Junma Group itself. All Western countries and Western companies will have restrictions on their behavior in the Qing Dynasty. This is not because of the clear autonomy of the Qing Dynasty, but the Qing Dynasty. The government is worried that the Chinese are affected by the Westerners, that the national self-esteem is awakened, and it opposes the rule of the Qing government, which is even worse for the Qing government than the Western invasion.
“Okay, okay, don’t care what you want to do, you won’t pit me right?” Arthur didn’t care what Li Mu’s purpose was, Arthur only asked for a promise from Li Mu.
“Of course not, Chester, we are friends, I will definitely not harm you.” Li Muxin vowed, but listen carefully, “harm” must not stop there, it is sure to find trouble, if Qing Dynasty established a similar Western Democratic government, it will certainly affect the interests of colonial countries in the Qing Dynasty.
Once Arthur is settled, Li Mu will continue to stay in Washington and exert influence on Congress as much as possible. Even if Arthur doesn’t care about Congress, to a certain extent, Arthur’s rights will also be subject to the restrictions of Congress, so Li Mu needs to stay in Washington. For a while, make sure that Washington will provide Yan Shun with more convenience.
In fact, there is not so much trouble. Without demonstrating the real purpose, any actions of the Far East Company in the Far East will be supported by the Congress. Before the war against Spain, the United States did not have a colony in the Far East. It can be said that members of Congress have not yet Realizing the benefits of owning a colony, the establishment of the new Luzon government showed members of Congress another possibility. Since the establishment of the new Luzon government, Luzon has provided the United States with a variety of cheap raw materials, and American industrial products have been Luzon dumping, the United States has made more than 500 million US dollars in profits, which directly prompted the United States’ national economic value in the past two years to maintain a growth rate of more than 20%, without much motivation is more intuitive than the colonies Now, considering the comparison between Qing Dynasty and Luzon, it is conceivable how much the members of Congress look forward to Qing Dynasty.
“As long as we can open the Qingguo market, our products will sell well in the Far East, and we will have almost unlimited human resources in Qingguo. We can even set up factories in Qingguo, produce locally, and sell locally, even if we sell products from Qingguo. Importing to the United States will also cost less than producing locally in the United States. Think about it, how much profit will be contributed to us by a market of more than 500 million people. It can be said that the next ten, twenty years, or even the next In the century, whoever can control the Far East will dominate the world. We missed the Crusades. We missed the era of great sailing. We ca n’t make mistakes again and again. ”At a private gathering, Li Mu ’s main purpose was to convince James Brian.
After the assassination of James Garfield, there was a time when James Bryan became despondent and even resigned from Arthur and no longer served as US Secretary of State.
Li Mu put forward the greatest temptation to end the “partial party fattening system” and gave James Bryan the most temptation. James Bryan could not reject Li Mu’s proposal to implement the civil service system. Ulysses S. Grant was mentioned when he was in office. However, it did not become the mainstream of the society. Hayes tried to promote the civil service system when he was in office, but because Hayes was alone, he had no practical effect in the end. James Bryan and Arthur were a perfect match. Both of them are now Breaking the jar and breaking, success is the name of Qing Shi, and unsuccess is also benevolence, why not?
The “James Bryan Act” is indeed a great boost to the popularity of James Bryan. Although Congress has not passed it, James Bryan has also used this matter to gain enough prestige. There are now many Republicans There is support for James Bryan for the next presidential race, which is exactly what James Bryan wants.
Of course, if James Bryan seeks advice from Li Mu, then most likely Li Mu will not recommend James Bryan to run for the next presidential election. Unlike Benjamin Harrison, if James Bryan is running for the Republican Party, then There is no doubt that Li Mu supports Grover Cleveland.
“I don’t doubt you, but Rim, if you want the Pacific Fleet to cooperate with the Far East Company, does that mean that you want to start the next war against the Qing Dynasty?” James Bryan’s trust in Li Mu is obviously not as good Arthur, Arthur basically did not doubt after listening to Li Mu’s words, James Bryan could not, to be honest, James Bryan didn’t even believe the punctuation that Li Mu said.
Speaking of which, it can only be said that Li Mu is notorious. In Cuba, Panama, and Luzon, Li Mu has proved by actual actions that the most common method used by arms dealers to solve problems is war. James Brian does not think that Li Mu was bound by the Qing Empire because he was facing it. At the beginning, he faced Colombia and Spain. Li Mu was not weak, and the Qing Empire was vulnerable. This was the last time the British and French had proved.
“If war is unavoidable, then war becomes the only option. Of course, unless necessary, I will not wage war on the Qing Dynasty. Even if there is a war, I will not drag the United States into the mire. In the final analysis, the Far East Company is a commercial company. It ’s not a violent organization. If you can easily make money, no one will be aggressive. ”Of course, Li Mu does not admit the possibility of starting a war. Fighting is a cruel thing, and no politician would like it.
War is the continuation of politics. This sentence is true, but once it reaches the level of war, politics loses all meaning. Politicians will not play any role at this time. Li Mu can understand James Brian. Why don’t you want to wage war, because it also represents the incompetence of politicians.
“Rim, I think you can try some conventional methods first. The Pacific Fleet is only the last guarantee. You should not pin all your hopes on the Pacific Fleet.” Benjamin Harrison gave Li Mu a more reasonable suggestion, Far East Company It is an American company, and of course the Pacific Fleet will guarantee the interests of American companies. There is no doubt about this.
“Of course, we did not open the fleet to Dagukou as soon as we came up. We forced the Qing government to agree to our request by force. Of course, if I could, I would prefer to use commercial means to solve all problems. The Pacific Fleet is just a guarantee. I actually What is more worrying is that the British and the French will be side by side. The Pacific fleet will at least guarantee that the British and the French will not mess up. “Li Mu is not worried about the Qing government, nor is he worried about the Far East Company, Britain and France. Li Mu is most worried.
In fact, recently, the British and French dissatisfaction with the United States has accumulated to a very dangerous level. When the United States purchased Alaska, it was a big deal while the Russians lost the war. Later, the United States established Vladivostok. France feels like it’s on the back. If the Far East company starts to develop the Qing Dynasty market, then the most worried people must be the British and the French. Still, the Qing Dynasty is a big piece of fat, and the United States has more points. Britain and France Points are definitely less.
“Be prepared, Riem. Be prepared. The British and French will definitely not sit idly by as we develop the Qing Dynasty market, and the Russians, you have to be careful.
Benjamin Harrison will not cause trouble for Li Mu, there is still a tacit understanding.
