In 1936, the United States had already emerged from the Great Depression.

The most critical point of the so-called Roosevelt New Deal is that in 1934, he passed a decree that the Federal Reserve confiscated gold from the hands of ordinary people at $20.67 per ounce, and prohibited the export of gold. In this way, the gold standard was abolished and the Federal Reserve could print a lot of money and let the water go! It was precisely because of the large amount of money that depreciated the US dollar by 40% that the United States got out of the predicament.

This way to get rid of the economic crisis is not uncommon for Americans to use it until the 21st century. Every time I encounter national difficulties, I will try my best to print money. Anyway, the US dollar is the world's currency, and if I print too much money, I will still be surrounded by surrenders.

1936 was the last year of the "golden decade" of the Republic of China. During these ten years, the GDP growth rate was more than 8%, and the light industry developed very quickly, but the heavy industry developed very slowly.

What is light industry? It is an industry closely related to the lives of ordinary people, mainly providing daily consumer goods.

Heavy industries belong to basic industries, such as steel, metallurgy, machinery, energy, etc.

Heavy industry is the basis of a country's war capabilities, and China is far behind Japan in this regard.

So, why didn’t the Jinling government vigorously develop heavy industry?

There are many reasons for this, one of which is that the government has a group of comprador bourgeoisie who make money by import and export business. It does not want China to have a complete industrial system, so it is unwilling to pass corresponding laws to encourage and stimulate heavy industry.

For example, Qian Xuequ returned to China in 1939 and wanted to produce aircraft engines in China. However, he was born in troubled times and had no way to serve the country. The funds for the construction of aircraft were embezzled and extorted by officials. He could only return to the United States in shame in 1944.

The defense industry of the Republic of China was destroyed by compradors of all sizes.

For example, in 1925, the Hanyang Arsenal purchased 200,000 walnut wood butt stock blanks from foreign companies, and its annual production of rifles does not exceed 20,000! In other words, it bought a stock that had been ten years at once. If it pulled it like this, wouldn’t the arsenal collapse?

For example, the steel used in the Ishii Arsenal was only used according to the instructions of the foreign company. If you can't buy it, the machine had to stop rotating. In the end, even the fuse of the grenade was purchased from the UK, and our factory could not make it.

The comprador class and warlords from all over the country all hope to buy firearms from foreign companies and then take fat kickbacks! Why do you think the national defense industry is developing?

From this perspective, the Qingbai Party is unbearable!

Take the Ferry Steel Plant established by Qin Di for example. Because the blast furnaces from the United States were introduced, the steel produced was of reliable quality, but most of them were supplied to private enterprises in various places and were not purchased by the Jinling government. The reason was that it was easier to get started from foreign companies.

This is because Qin Di is rich and powerful, so he can support the Ferry Steel Factory. If he changes his family, he may have given up long ago.

To be honest, Qin Di always wanted to build a weapon factory, but failed to do so.

As far as funds are concerned, he can take over a domestic arsenal, but national policies do not allow it.

Since 1932, the Jinling government has integrated the manufacturing of guns and cannons, and the arsenals across the country are under unified management. Private intervention is not allowed to be involved, so as not to lose guns, which is not conducive to the major plan of suppressing bandits.

Qin Di remembered that he still had 200 million US dollars in cash in major banks, and he couldn't stay in the bank. So he racked his brains and thought for a long time and decided to inject $50 million into Panda Sulting Group Panda Consulting to ask Old John to find investment opportunities. He especially pays attention to two companies, one is ibm and the other is Disney.

IBM was founded in 1911 and was an early production of punch-in machines for employees' attendance. It started to cooperate with Harvard and MIT in 1932, and evolved into a computer system in 1950.

It was 1936, and ibm monopolized 85% of the card statistics machine. This was a very small industry with limited capital capacity, so ibm was still a small company. According to Qin Di's estimate, as long as you take out 2 million US dollars and buy ibm stocks from the market, you can grab 20% of the shares.

Disney was founded in 1923, launched Mickey Mouse in 1928, and then launched Snow White and Seven Dwarves, which attracted widespread attention, so its market value is relatively high.

In any case, Qin Di only asked to acquire up to 20% of the shares and did not pursue strong holdings in these companies.

Since this year, the "Panda Consulting" company managed by John Old gradually evolved into an investment fund, occupying 15-20% of the shares in many "small and medium-sized" enterprises.

On August 1, 1936, the 11th Olympic Summer Games was held in Berlin.

This Olympic Games received strong support from Hitler and was used to show the "advantage of the Arian race".

As in history, most Chinese athletes did not enter the finals, but Du Rong scored an amazing 25 meters in the shot put event, while Duran significantly broke the world record in the javelin competition. They won two gold medals for the Chinese delegation, and the news came back, which caused cheers from the people!

"Unprecedented! This is the pride of the Chinese nation!"

"This is the pride of Chinese women! Men are all waste! After so many people went there, they didn't even enter the finals!"

"Sisters Du are well-deserved national heroes! The country should treat them well!"

"I didn't expect that the Chinese could win the championship. Could it be that the sun came out from the west?"

"I heard that the two Miss Du are still Yunying is not married, so I am going to pursue them..."

Mr. Qing was overjoyed when he saw the briefing and announced that he would be promoted to the rank of major and was awarded the "Blue Sky and White Sun Medal", each of which was rewarded with 100,000 French currency!

Mrs. Qing went to the dock to welcome the delegation back home and took a photo with the Du sisters.

The newspapers covered the lives of the Du sisters, saying that they worked hard since childhood and insisted on training, practiced in winter and practiced in summer and achieved their achievements today for twenty years.

Many articles mentioned the hero Du Xinwu, saying that the two girls have a deep understanding of their family, and famous teachers produce great disciples, which is friendly and respectable!

There are also articles with bad intentions. While praising the heroine, they couldn't help but step on Qin Di: "In order to raise training funds, the sisters of the Du family were hired by the rich Qin family and endured the humiliation of Qin Da Shao. Someone once heard that Qin Da Shao scolded Du Rong, saying that she was ugly and had many troubles! This is a destruction of the heroine, and it is unbearable!"

Qin Di glared at the newspaper and thought to himself: "Isn't this a mess? When did I scold my apprentice?"

There are also shameless tabloids who spread rumors: "Young Master Qin is a hungry ghost in lust, but unfortunately he has the heart but lacks strength. Otherwise, he would have dominated the Du girl!"

Qin Di saw it and shook his head even more: "Who do you dare to make my rumors like this? You have to deal with them when you look back."

In the 1936 Olympics, South Korean athlete Sun Ki-jeong won the marathon championship, but he could only receive the award as a Japanese, because both South Korea and North Korea were occupied by the Japanese. At the award ceremony, the sun flag was raised and the national anthem of "The King of the Age" was played, which made him feel very painful.

There is no way, the people who have lost their country can only endure humiliation. Maybe he shouldn't have participated in the competition at all!

If China fails in the 14th year of the War of Resistance Against Japan, the situation will be the same as that of him.

This Olympic Games is also the first time that was broadcasted by TV. The black Owens won 100 meters, 200 meters, and 100 meters relays, plus long jumps, and a total of 4 gold medals. With outstanding results, Hitler's "Arianism Theory of Race Superiority" was broken in front of countless people around the world.

Before the vigorous World War II, Chinese female athletes won two Olympic gold medals, which greatly boosted national morale and invisibly enhanced the combat effectiveness of the Chinese army.

Qin Di thought to himself: "In order to support the War of Resistance, I have tried my best! Not only did my disciple win the gold medal, but the album "Loyalty for the Country"... The only regret is that due to the constraints of the way of heaven, I cannot go to the battlefield in person..."
