Lao Lu said calmly: "It's New York Harbor? Why didn't I say that just now?"
Roosevelt suddenly laughed in his heart.
Look, look!
I have long said that this man is a hungry wolf and cannot be satisfied with just a little bit of food.
Now it is indeed here.
Sure enough, it came.
Let you agree, agree!
Now that he is fine, he is eyeing New York Harbor again. He has known for a long time that Lu Huixiang is shameless and has no principles or bottom line.
I can't agree to it, even if it's a fight!
They took over the Chinese concession, and now they are trying to seize the port.
Taking out the concession is embarrassing enough, but what about the port?
Do you agree or disagree?
Concession What is concession?
Foreign residents in the region exercise independent and complete administrative and judicial systems.
For internal autonomous management, the leasing country does not dispatch a governor, but establishes a municipal management agency - the Ministry of Industry and Industry Bureau, which is responsible for municipal administration, taxation, police, public works, transportation, health, public utilities, education, publicity and other functions.
The country that owns the territorial sovereignty of the concession regards the concession as foreign territory and dare not easily interfere in the internal affairs of the concession, let alone station troops and police.
Roosevelt could imagine that in the future, the concession would definitely become an important place for "housing dirt and evil people and practices."
Those who break the law outside will definitely go to the concession to seek help from the Chinese concession.
Especially those who have failed in party struggles, these people often still have huge prestige in the country. Just because they have failed in the struggle does not mean that they have lost their prestige.
And the Chinese are not good people, so why should we help them?
Then of course he will become someone else's lackey!
That's a serious danger to the country.
Roosevelt even pessimistically thought that it would be more difficult to carry out judicial activities on the behavior in the concession in the future, such as extraditing criminals, which was even more joking.
Moreover, it also eliminates the process of crossing the river by feeling the stones. At the beginning, everyone did not know how to deal with the concession, but Zhuyu was ahead.
People only need to copy the behavior of themselves and others in China, and that will be enough to drink a pot.
As for the port?
Haha, everyone knows how important the New York port is, no need for Roosevelt to say it.
First of all, this is a natural deep-water port, located at the mouth of the Hudson River in the northeastern part of the beautiful country, facing the Atlantic Ocean to the east.
The geographical conditions are unique.
The waterway is 16 kilometers long, 610 meters wide, and has a maintenance depth of 13.72 meters.
Such a port is rare in the entire beautiful country.
Since the opening of the Erie Canal in the Great Lakes region in 1982 and the increase in railways, the Port of New York has developed rapidly and become an important gateway to the Great Lakes Basin. It can be said that it is the largest transportation hub in the beautiful country.
The bridgehead of the East-West Continental Bridge across the beautiful country, from New York in the east to Seattle in the west, the importance of its location is self-evident.
If this place disappears, the beautiful country will be divided from east to west.
And once China really takes away the port, what will happen to the big companies in New York? How to live?
This is destined to be another struggle!
"New York Port? Foreign Minister Lu, you can't do this. There is no problem with New York Port and it is not within the scope of our negotiations, right?"
Roosevelt stopped talking, and the other senior officials couldn't help it.
Especially the representative of the parliament, Representative Diana, seemed to be a beautiful woman, but Lao Lu completely ignored her.
This person is not within his aesthetic range.
"How am I doing? I also think that New York Port is not within the scope of this negotiation, but sometimes I can't help myself. As you know, Mr. Nie has given instructions that the issue of New York Port must also be discussed!"
"Preliminary assumptions are that regarding the armistice, the Chinese Concession is one aspect, and the New York Harbor is also another aspect!"
"This is the main content of the treaty, you can take a look."
Lao Lu's acting was almost done. To put it bluntly, he was just too lazy to act.
Didn't you say anything without looking at Roosevelt?
It won’t be interesting to continue acting.
As for Diana who just spoke? Haha, asking Lao Lu to act with her is not qualified.
Lao Lu simply stopped pretending and directly stated the conditions.
Sure enough, after Lao Lu distributed the documents to the participants, he sat down and drank tea like an old man.
But the people in the beautiful country became more and more frightened as they watched.
The name is very nice.
"Huapiao Treaty of Friendship and Trade"
But the content made everyone want to curse!
First of all, the first point is unacceptable.
Allowing Chinese to invest and set up factories in the four major cities in the United States, of which the Port of New York is an important trading port, requires more.
Four more major cities, Washington, Los Angeles, Houston, and Chicago, will also be opened as commercial ports.
"Foreign Minister Lu, is your appetite too big? We cannot accept this at all."
"The Port of New York is very important to us. We can talk about other things, but not this!"
Since Lao Lu doesn't want to act anymore, he doesn't care.
Oh softly.
"Don't talk about it, Xiao Huang, call Commander Zhang!"
The scene is stalemate!
Negotiations cannot continue.
These things are no longer within their control.
Negotiations stalled. gōΠb.ōγg
Lao Lu was not in a hurry.
Sooner or later they will agree that it is necessary for Chinese materials to go abroad.
This is China's first step towards industrialization.
It is also one of the important measures for Nie Li to achieve hegemony of oil and silver dollars.
Oil alone is not safe.
The strength of the silver dollar should not be based only on oil, but on large-scale commodity dumping.
To use an analogy.
Domestic agricultural and sideline products, industrial products.
Even, high-end items like silk.
Apart from personal use, the only option is to go out and exchange money. Only by going out and exchanging money can the economy grow faster.
It allows countries to plunder the fruits of labor of people in other countries.
The beautiful country has a certain sound industrial system, but it may not be able to withstand commodity dumping.
In particular, there is a tariff agreement behind it.
As long as you take a step forward, you can rely on a large number of items to consolidate the status of the silver dollar.
For three days, Lao Lu didn't show up, leaving Zhang Qiuju to contact people from Beautiful Country. As Zhang Sanfeng continued to advance the troops.
Already taken San Diego State.
Finally, the first one was accepted.
However, open cities need to be reduced.
In the end two were left.
In order to speed up the progress, Lao Lu agreed.
The second point is to expand the scope of consular jurisdiction: when a Chinese citizen has a lawsuit with an American citizen, the Chinese citizen will be arrested and interrogated by the Chinese consul and other officials, and the dispute between the Chinese citizen and the American citizen will be handled in accordance with Chinese laws and practices. Quan asked.
I accepted this very happily.
Why?
Anyway, the concession has been established, so we don't care about this consular right.
But when it came to the third item, Zhang Sanfeng had to take out the rocket launcher truck troops and let out a crazy vent.
Agreement on tariffs: "If the United States wants to change the tax rate in the future, it must discuss with the Chinese consul and other officials for permission."
Well said.
This is actually the hardest thing to accept.
You can no longer decide your own tariffs.
