Chapter 162 Admiration (seeking a monthly ticket)(2/2)
Except for the Philippines, countries independent from the United States after World War II were basically like this. The United States controlled the country's military and diplomacy, and the United States occupied the country's market, but the United States did not assume the responsibility of managing the country.
In other words, I have taken the benefits, and you can solve the problems you have to work hard on yourself. On the surface, the United States has made this country independent, but in fact this is a new form of colonization.
The United States is now suffering from the Great Depression, and the United States is also focusing on its own. The United States Congress hopes that the Philippines will be independent as soon as possible so that the United States will not have to spend time managing the Philippines.
Sports activities such as the Far East Games do not involve military or diplomatic affairs, nor will they affect the United States' control of the Philippines' economy. In the eyes of Americans, this is a mess. Americans have long since no longer wanted to care about the Philippines' mess!
In this situation, the Philippine Sports Association, led by the Americans, showed ambiguous behavior about the Japanese asking the pseudo-Manchukuo to participate in the Far East Games. They did not want to offend Japan or China.
This is like a person is about to step down tomorrow. It is definitely better to do less than more things. At this time, he will not make any major decisions, nor will he rashly offend others.
In the end, the Philippine Sports Association's attitude was to let Japan negotiate with China. If China agreed to let the pseudo-Manchukuo participate in the Far East Games, then the Philippines would have no objection, and if China did not agree, the Philippines would have no objection.
So, the representative of the Japanese Sports Association, Yamamoto Hirotaki, and Kubota, the representative of the pseudo-Manchukuo Sports Association, took a boat to Shanghai to negotiate with China.
Nanjing is not a fool. They have already seen through the Japanese's intentions and expressed a firm opposition.
However, in international affairs, Nanjing's opposition has always been ineffective. The cowardice and incompetence of the government in foreign affairs have also made the Japanese optimistic about their trip to Shanghai.
At this time, Japan had escaped from the economic crisis and had firmly established its dominance in the Far East. Moreover, Nanjing's "cowardly every day" also made Japanese negotiators feel that the Chinese are easy to bully. As long as Japan's attitude is tougher, the goal can be achieved.
When the Japanese Sports Association representative, Hirota Yamamoto, said in a sports interview: "China completely opposes it, but I try my best to make China reflect on it and achieve a successful solution... According to the struggle of Manchu players, the Manchurian flag can fly over Manila and the Manchurian anthem can be played to a corner of the Philippines!"
...
Nanjing, textbook editorial office.
Chen Qiang was holding a newspaper in his hand, which was exactly what he said about Yamamoto Hirotaki.
These extremely arrogant words filled Chen Qiang's heart with anger!
At this moment, the door was pushed open and someone came in. It was Hao Gengsheng, who had been missing for a long time.
"Gui Xue Hao, why are you here?" Chen Qiang stood up to greet him.
"Chen Qiang, do you know the American Minister Jansen?" Hao Gengsheng asked in a scattered manner.
Chen Qiang nodded: "I met once."
"Then do you have a good relationship with US President Roosevelt?" Hao Gengsheng continued.
"This is true." Chen Qiang nodded and admitted. Anyway, it was because of the fox's power, so Chen Qiang was not worried that the cowhide would be exposed.
"That's fine. Get it clean quickly and go to Shanghai with me. I've bought all the train tickets." Hao Gengsheng said.
"What's going on in such an urgent situation?" Chen Qiang asked.
Hao Gengsheng replied hurriedly: "About the Far East Games, the Japanese want the puppet Manchukuo to participate in the Far East Games, you must know this?"
"I just read the newspaper. Those Japanese are too arrogant! They invade our country and occupy our territory, and even ask us Chinese to reflect on us!" Chen Qiang said with anger.
"Nanjing sent me to negotiate with the Japanese. This time the senior management's attitude was very firm and he would never allow the puppet Manchukuo to participate in this Far East Games. But this Far East Games was held in the Philippines. The American attitude was the most important. I want you to convince the American minister, Jansen, to reject the unreasonable demands of the Japanese! Let the Americans stand on our side!"
Hao Gengsheng paused and continued, "Chen Qiang, it is related to national sovereignty. This time, you must follow me!"
Chen Qiang took a deep breath and nodded immediately to agree: "Okay, I'll go back to pack my luggage now, let's set off right away!"
