Section 483 The Rockefeller Family
MacArthur usually has a bad temper, so when he has such a difficult thing, others will not care about him. Judging from the current situation, some officers in the army just pretend that they have not seen offend the four major consortiums for such a arrogant guy. It is obviously not possible. At this time, MacArthur knows why the four major consortiums follow him to China, not as they said at the beginning. The people of these four major consortiums said that they were doing things for themselves and that the Chinese people paid more attention to it. They did not expect that these guys came to China to embarrass themselves, and the most important thing was to restore their business.
What business people do the most is business. Some time ago, because China purchased scrapped rails and some machinery and equipment that were about to be discharged from the army, the four major consortiums purchased a large number of scrapped rails and machinery and equipment nationwide in order to do this business. Now, due to the relationship between the two countries, China's purchases in the United States suddenly decreased by more than half. They have already spent the money. If they are not sold to the Chinese, let alone the profits they make, they may not even be able to return the capital. Mao Yuanshan also knew this, so he did this, just to let the American consortium put pressure on the government and let them make a choice between China and Japan, just like the Germans at the time, but he could not create a bloody incident in the United States. The United States and Germany are different after all.
A bloody incident in Germany, and the Chinese can escape safely and safely. If a bloody incident is also created in the United States, the American people will also suppress the US government to investigate the matter clearly. The United States has always been very safe. If Mao Yuanshan breaks this pattern, no matter how good the relationship he has with the Americans, the Americans will eventually carry themselves to the table, otherwise he will not be able to explain this to the American people.
Therefore, Mao Yuanshan can only use trade pressure to force Americans to break off relations with the Japanese, otherwise there would be no other way.
"You don't want to happen today. Just think it's an accident. Tomorrow I will talk to the Shanghai Municipal Government about electricity supply. Today, everyone comes from afar. I believe they are already tired. Why not take a break early. The staff of our embassy will take you to their respective rooms." The atmosphere at the scene was a bit awkward. Among the three forces, the staff of the embassy were the weakest. He could not afford to offend either of these personnel, so when General MacArthur was embarrassed, he had to come out and make up the occasion quickly, otherwise he would not be a human being. They were the smallest, and if they wanted to vent their anger, they would start with them.
"I hope you can wait a moment. I know that you are tired from the United States to here, but today this incident has happened, we must make it clear. In addition to this power outage, as far as I know, today there are actually our naval officers who are going to visit the Songhu Military Port without reason. If I were a Chinese officer, I would not allow such a thing to happen. What I don't understand now is what our military is doing to come to Shanghai. Isn't it a free talk with the Chinese? If you want to create a friction incident, I'm sorry, please give us a perfect explanation. Our economic people come to China to restore the previous trade situation. If you continue to disturb this, our trade situation will not be able to restore to the previous situation. Regarding this matter, I will personally report to President Roosevelt and his think tank." The son of the Rockefeller Consortium said very unhappily.
For him, this time he had to ease his relationship with the Chinese because he had nearly 20 million mechanical equipment and scrap steel. If these things could not be handed over to the Chinese, it would mean that his strategy had failed. There were many people in the family waiting to put him in trouble. Twenty million US dollars was nothing to the Rockefeller family, but for him it was all his working capital. All four brothers in the family wanted to get on that seat. If he lost 20 million US dollars at once, he would basically have no fate with that seat, so he is the one who wants to improve his relationship with China the most now.
Mr. MacArthur looked at the young master with some displeasure. The staff of the embassy had already rescued him. Who knew that this guy had brought the topic back again. Although the idle things had nothing to do with him, this matter had a direct relationship with him. Without his direct instructions, these two naval officers would never dare to break into other people's naval bases. This was a head-lost matter.
"I don't think it's appropriate to discuss similar things at this time. We have serious differences in our relationship with Chinese people. Our military hopes to give Chinese people a heavy blow to let them understand the gap with us Americans and let them return to their previous position. And people in your economic circles now choose to deal with Chinese people weakly. This is a difference between our United States of America and we can't explain it clearly for a while. I suggest that we continue to talk about this matter tomorrow. We have just come from the United States and are very tired. If we don't have a good rest, we will not be able to negotiate with Chinese people tomorrow." After all, this matter is wrong with Mr. MacArthur, but he is unwilling to admit this matter, so we can only delay it first and wait until tomorrow.
"I'm afraid we can't wait until tomorrow. As far as I know, at 5 pm this afternoon, the Central China Front Army Command of China had sent someone to send documents to us to hand over these two naval officers. If they have not handed over within 12 working days, they have the right to come to us to arrest people." The US ambassador to China was very annoying to hear this. Anyway, since someone has said it, I might as well just kick the ball to you. If the Chinese army really comes to bring people, we don't care. We are just an embassy here, not in the army, and there is no way to protect them.
