"Brother Dingxin! Brother Guanhua!"

Jiang Jingguo greeted his two old classmates, and then glanced at a man and a woman standing next to them. The man was about 30 years old, dressed in a well-made suit, handsome in appearance and elegant in manner; the woman was an Eurasian The mixed race is still a stunning beauty, Jiang Jingguo also nodded to them with a smile.

Hu Dingxin pointed to the couple with a smile, and introduced: "These two are General Wan Yanhao, our ambassador to the Russian Empire, and Ms. Nagata Isa, the assistant manager of the Asia Porcelain Industry—this is the chairman of our military committee, Marshal Chiang Kai-shek. Eldest son, lieutenant Jiang Jingguo, he is now serving as a communications officer on the aircraft carrier Zhongshan."

Wan Yanhao and Yongtian Yisha were slightly surprised to hear that it was Chiang Kai-shek's son. They saw Chiang Kai-shek's arrival just now, and also saw Chiang Ching-kuo standing behind him, but they didn't know that they were father and son.

Jiang Jingguo smiled and said: "It turns out to be General Wen Qiang. The younger generation has admired the name of General for a long time."

Wan Yanhao blinked, and smiled at Jiang Jingguo: "Brother Jingguo, am I really famous? In my line of work, being famous is not a good thing!"

"The general is..."

After Jiang Jingguo heard his words, he remembered that Wan Yanhao was a spy chief, and he was indeed not well-known outside. He had only heard his father Chiang Kai-shek mention this great spy who was born from a gangster from the Youth Gang.But how could such a person become the Chinese ambassador to Russia?Isn't this Russian Empire the little court in the isolated city of Vladivostok?It doesn't seem like a good job to be sent there as an ambassador, does it?

Hu Dingxin saw that Jiang Jingguo hesitated to speak, so he took the initiative to provoke the topic and said: "General Wen Qiang is my immediate boss. In two days, I will go with him to Vladivostok, which was attacked by the Soviet Red Army." He sighed , smiled bitterly: "I don't know if I can come back..."

"Oh?"

Jiang Jingguo looked interested, his lips parted slightly, showing a mouthful of white teeth, and said, "So you are going to Vladivostok to discuss military aid with the Tsarist Russian government?"

Next to him, Nagata Yisa pretended to be uninterested, but his delicate ears were quietly pricked up.

Wan Yanhao said: "Aid is definitely needed. It's just that the port of Vladivostok is frozen and our army can't get in. If the Xiedanka line of defense can last until next spring, everything will be fine. Frankly speaking, I am very happy. I doubt that General Wang Zhongyi's army can last until then, but fortunately we have already..." He paused suddenly at this point, and then said something else: "By the way, Miss Yisha, I heard that your company is There is also a branch in Vladivostok, right?"

Nagata Yisa didn't hear what he wanted to hear, so he slapped his lips at Wan Yanhao in protest: "Well, I'm the person in charge of that unlucky Vladivostok branch, I don't know when those nasty Bolsheviks will call in, Take me to Siberia to do hard labor." His eyes were red as he spoke, as if he was about to cry.

"Hey! Isn't Ms. Yisha an assistant manager of some porcelain company? How can she work in Vladivostok? Is there anyone in Vladivostok who wants to buy porcelain?" Jiang Jingguo wondered.

Nagata Yisa sighed softly: "How could someone in Vladivostok want porcelain? It's too late to escape! Our company's business there is responsible for the expulsion of uranium mines in the Kolyma Mountains in Magadan State. Mr. Jiang, have you heard of uranium?" ?Uranium with gold lettering."

"I know." Jiang Jingguo nodded: "I have taught in chemistry class that it is a chemical element, but I don't know what it is used for."

Hu Dingxin's heart moved, and he quickly winked at Qiao Guanhua who was on the side.Qiao Guanhua's chemistry grades are good, at least he knows a little more than Jiang Jingguo, he is completely clear about Hu Dingxin's gesture, so he coughed lightly, and interjected: "Uranium is the heaviest element that can be found in nature, and it also has A certain amount of radioactivity is now used to color porcelain and glass, but the amount used should not be very large.”

Nagata Yisa picked up the wine glass, sipped the wine lightly and said with a smile: "However, our company cooperates with Japan's Aso Stone Mine to mine a large amount of this ore in the Kolyma Mountains. It seems that you China will really need to produce a lot in the future. Colorful china."

"Maybe it is used to produce some alloy?" Jiang Jingguo also took a glass of beer from the servant in white at this time, took a big sip, and said with a smile: "It seems that rare metals are used everywhere now. Airplanes use aluminum alloy fuselages, and many rare metals are used in aircraft engines, so that the engines can withstand higher temperatures and have a longer service life...I guess uranium is also used in this regard.”

After listening to Chiang Ching-kuo's explanation, Yongtian Yisa said embarrassingly: "Maybe, but I'm afraid this is a military secret. Let's not talk about it. I don't want to get into trouble."

Jiang Jingguo's conjecture is actually the same as the result of the meeting of chemists all over Japan... this uranium should be the key ingredient used to produce some alloys!It is estimated that it is used for new aircraft engines!Nagata Isa also got a task to figure out the formula of these "uranium alloys".However, such a secret obviously cannot be obtained from the mouths of several naval lieutenants, even if one is the son of the chairman of the military committee.In fact, this extremely complicated alloy formula is probably something Chiang Kai-shek himself can't remember.

"Kolyma Mountain in Eastern Siberia in Russia is a treasure land, not only has uranium ore, but also has abundant gold mines! We are also mining gold there now, and it would be great if Vladivostok can persist." Nagata Isa Unknowingly, the topic turned to the battle situation in Vladivostok, which is also the most concerned issue of the Japanese authorities.

"Don't worry about this Miss Yisha, our assistant commander must have a solution." Wan Yanhao laughed and said, "When did he make a loss-making business? Now don't look at the Soviet Red Army being so arrogant, maybe one day in the morning. Get up, and they will be wiped out under the city of Vladivostok!"

When Hu Dingxin and Qiao Guanhua heard this, a trace of undetectable worry flashed in their eyes at the same time.If there is any way to save the decline of Vladivostok now, it is only by increasing the intensity of China's intervention.Just look for a map and you will know how easy it is for China to annihilate the hundreds of thousands of Red Army troops outside Vladivostok!For this reason, Tukhachevsky, the commander of the Soviet Far East Front who had just taken office, was worried and asked Moscow for reinforcements one after another.However, Stalin now has no extra strength to reinforce the Far East, because Poland and Germany are conducting a large-scale joint military exercise west of the Soviet Union.At the same time, the six divisions of the Kuomintang have already entered Xinjiang, plus the 10,000+ youth army there, the Chinese army in Xinjiang has more than 20, so the Soviet Union has to increase its troops to Central Asia.As a result, the Soviet Union, beset by enemies on three sides and short of troops and supplies, had no choice but to turn to the CCP for help, hoping that they could prevent the Nationalist government from getting further involved in the Soviet civil war... If it was impossible, they would also alert Moscow when there was a change in the Chinese army.

……

"Brother Fuwen, to be honest, brother Yu has been quite tired these few years, and he just wants to go back to the mountains and forests and not care about world affairs." At this time, in the small living room on the second floor of Beilu, Chiang Kai-shek was as expected, Played the resignation card.

"Haha." Luo Yaoguo laughed, and shook his head at Chiang Kai-shek: "Don't joke, Mr. Jie. You have led millions of troops across the battlefield, wiped out enemies for the country, opened up territories, and achieved great achievements for generations. How could that be?" How about retiring now? Even if you want to retire, you have to retire after becoming the first-term president after the war, right?"

Chiang Kai-shek smiled wryly and shook his head: "The president belongs to Mr. Hu Zhan, so I don't dare to think about it."

Luo Yaoguo sneered: "The president is not the emperor. After a few years, he needs to be replaced. Hu Zhangong will do it for a few years, Jiegong will also do it for a few years, and my uncle and I will do it for a few years in the future. Everyone will do it." A little, isn't it good?"

Chiang Kai-shek's eyes flickered, and he did not disbelieve Luo Yaoguo's promise.Among the five big bosses of the Kuomintang right now, except for Xu Chongzhi, who really doesn't look like he wants to be president, the other four can take turns to be the president.Now Hu Hanmin is doing it, followed by Chiang Kai-shek, then Luo Yiqun, Luo Yaoguo was the last to do it when he was young.Each of the four worked for eight years, and one piece was added for 32 years. If Hu Hanmin came to power in 1934, all four of them would be in 1966!Well, it's a good year indeed...but is the elected president interesting to do?

Chiang Kai-shek sighed: "How about waiting until 1966? Maybe it's the turn of the Communist Party? If our Kuomintang abandons the army now, it will lose power one day in the future!"

"There is no party in power forever in the world!" Luo Yaoguo replied with a flash of eyes.

Chiang Kai-shek shook his head, picked up his glass and drank it down: "I don't think so. If the Communist Party comes to power one day, they will be the party in power forever! They will be in power for at least 100 million years!" He sighed: "We still underestimate the Communist Party too much. As a party, they are much more than us. They are highly disciplined, well-organized, simple in style, and have strong fighting power and the ability to cleanse themselves... You should know that during this time The rectification movement in Baotou, right? They claim to: Oppose subjectivism to rectify the style of study, oppose sectarianism to rectify the party style, oppose party stereotypes to rectify the style of writing. They also oppose dogmatism in order to carry forward the spirit of seeking truth from facts of Marxism and adhere to the correct Ideological line; promote the spirit of communism that takes the overall situation into account, adhere to the correct organizational line, inspire a lively revolutionary spirit, and establish a new style of writing."

Luo Yaoguo looked at Chiang Kai-shek, his eyes a little confused: "I've heard of it, but I don't know what it means... How can there be a style of study and writing? Jiegong, do you know what they want to do?"

"So you don't know?" Chiang Kai-shek was taken aback for a moment, then shook his head: "That's right if you don't know! That's why the Communist Party is so powerful. You can't even understand the methods they came up with, and they will definitely pass This rectification movement has reversed the distracted situation caused by the "legislation, judicial" disputes and "reserve military pay" some time ago! We must pay enough attention to it."

"That's why Jie Gong should be the future Minister of Defense!" Luo Yiqun took over the conversation and looked at Chiang Kai-shek, who shook his head: "The Minister of National Defense only cares about fighting with open swords and guns on the battlefield, which is not very effective in anti-Communist and anti-spies. Unless a secret bureau can be established under the Ministry of Defense to be responsible for this aspect of work."

"Secrecy Bureau..." Luo Yaoguo frowned, and said in his heart, "Old Jiang, you still want to set up a secret service organization after going around for a long time! But I will satisfy you for a while, anyway, President Hu's life is not long. Now, it will be the Luo family's turn to be the president of the Republic of China!" Thinking of this, he gritted his teeth and said with a cruel look: "Okay, let's set up a secrecy bureau under the name of the Ministry of National Defense. Jie Gong, is this the head office?"

"Okay! It's a deal!" Chiang Kai-shek was very excited to get the spy organization he had dreamed of. He had already discussed the current situation with Yang Yongtai privately, and the Kuomintang army had already been semi-nationalized.Therefore, it is unrealistic to rely on force to resist. The only possibility is to threaten Hu Hanmin with resignation, but he can't really resign from Hu Hanmin. , to give Xu Chongzhi his defense minister, it would be too late to regret.

……

"Do you know? I heard that our division is going to Manchuria next week? Commander Xu and Commander Huang of the [-]st Armored Division have taken their staff officers to Manchuria to look at the terrain in the past two days. It seems that we are going to do it next! If I can go up and fight a big victory once, and then expand the national defense force, maybe I can also be a lieutenant general and division commander!"

"No, next week it should be our 16th Division! The [-]th Division participated in the Middle East Road War in [-] years of the Republic of China. Maozi was defeated near Manzhouli. I also participated in that battle! And the armored soldiers The first division is already in Manchuria. Isn’t your second division busy with upgrades? How could it be launched? Besides, it’s not up to your armored division to expand the army in the future, right? There are already five, let’s continue to expand Are there so many tanks?"

"...Don't argue, in fact, both of you are going! Let me tell you, this time..."

"Shh! Don't even look at this place? Tell the General Staff if you have anything to say!"

This is a group of high-spirited young senior officers from the National Revolutionary Army. He was also invited by Luo Yaoguo to a reception at his home today. He didn't seem to be drinking too much, and his speech was unrestrained. Fortunately, Wu Ziliang, the director of military intelligence, was in time. Stop it, or you will really reveal some military secrets!However, Wu Zihao didn't seem to pay attention to Hu Dingxin and Qiao Guanhua, who were sipping wine glasses at the side...Any experienced intelligence officer can find some very unusual things from the conversation just now. clues.For example, the Kuomintang army is massaging in Manchuria, and it is very likely to launch a local war against the Soviet Far East!

The two astute underground party members glanced at each other. Today's harvest is really a bit too rich!Not only did they inquire about the movements of the Kuomintang army in Manchuria, but they also learned that they were collecting uranium ore, as if they wanted to develop some "uranium alloy", and finally met a beautiful woman who seemed to be a Japanese spy.

Chapter 0673 National Defense Forces (four) our party must be neutral!

On December 1932, 12, in the headquarters of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China in Baotou Special Zone, a rectification movement that touched the soul was underway, and of course it was a thriving scene.All the staff were full of vigor and devoted themselves to the revolutionary work, but when they looked up occasionally, they saw Zhou Enlai passing by them with a gloomy face. became depressed.

In the conference room, senior military officers including Xiang Ying, Zhu De, Zhang Xueliang, Feng Yuxiang, Peng Dehuai, Ye Ting, Liu Bocheng, Ye Jianying, He Long, and the newly arrived Soviet advisor Comrade Li De gathered in front of the map table, discussing seriously wearing something.These high-level border guards have just rushed back from various venues of the rectification movement, because there is another very bad news from Wuhan that the Kuomintang is mobilizing troops to the northeast. The purpose is not sure, but it is likely to be To attack the Soviet Union!Everyone looked a little surprised.I thought that the Kuomintang was busy with the formation of the National Defense Forces and internal struggles. There should be a period of stability and construction in the country. The CCP also planned to use this time to carry out several rectification campaigns and two three-year plans. Unexpectedly, these Kuomintang plans to further get involved in the Soviet Civil War up!This let them know that the domestic anti-imperialist and anti-war struggle cannot even relax, and that imperialism is too belligerent.

As a political party of the proletariat, of course it should now stand with the Soviet Union with a clear banner, mobilize its 20 elite troops, and then unite with the youth army in the Northwest, relying on the support of the Soviet Union, to carry out military deterrence against Shanxi and Hebei under the rule of the Kuomintang , forcing them to give up their aggressive acts of attacking the Soviet Union and interfering in the Soviet Civil War.But at this time, Wang Zixing from the Northwest and Wang Zhongyi from Vladivostok suddenly sent a telegram at the same time, expressing their willingness to lead their troops to join the National Defense Forces, accept the reorganization of the Nationalist Government, and become a member of the national army!This means that the CCP will soon stand alone against the Kuomintang, which controls most of China!And they will soon become the last separatist force in the country that resists the formation of a national army... If they stand on the side of the Soviet Union with a clear banner now, I am afraid that they will be surrounded and suppressed by the national army immediately!But the leader of the world revolution in Moscow was very willing to betray the CCP in exchange for Chinese imperialism to stop interfering in the Soviet civil war!

In such a situation, how could Zhou Enlai not be worried?The Baotou Special Economic Zone rectification movement activists commendation meeting did not go, but hands behind their backs and eyebrows locked in a circle in the conference room of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China.Zhu De hurriedly called and invited Comrade Mao Zedong, who was accompanying Mr. Lu Xun to visit the Academy of Literature and Art of the Special Economic Zone, to come over, and then he held his mind and slowly discussed with everyone how to deal with this matter.

Mao Zedong looked at the sand table map with a straight face. After the rectification movement, he is now recognized as a strategic master in the CCP. The losses and difficulties encountered by the CCP in the past were all due to ignoring his correct opinions, so everyone is calm. Waiting for him to speak first.In front of the sand table map, Mao Zedong only felt the ardent expectations of his comrades.

He knocked on the table and sighed deeply: "Now we abandon Manchuria and the consequences of the wrong decision to go west to Mongolia are all exposed! In the past, international communism was on the offensive, so there is no need to worry about the Kuomintang using Manchuria as a base." Carrying out aggression and expansion. Now that the civil war in the Soviet Union is coming together, the Kuomintang has joined the "Anti-Comintern Pact", and the international communist movement has reversed its offense and defense. Looking at it now, the current strategic layout in the Far East is unprecedentedly beneficial to the Kuomintang!" He told the truth, Zhou Enlai's expression was a little bit He was dignified, but still nodded and said: "Runzhi, you continue to talk, I'm listening, don't hide anything. Our party used to be able to tolerate temporary mistakes and failures, but now the overall situation is like this. If we are failing, I am afraid it is not the Chinese revolution. One failed, but the entire world revolution is about to go wrong! Everyone might as well think carefully and ensure success!"

Mao Zedong glanced at Zhou Enlai. He just frowned. The excitement just now seemed to have calmed down.He pointed to the map and sighed: "The Soviet Union's 50 troops near Vladivostok all rely on the Siberian Railway to supply logistics, and this railway is built around our northeast. The Kuomintang army can attack from all directions and cut off from the northeast. This railway line can push 50 workers and peasants’ Red Army to the point of running out of ammunition and food at once! If the Soviet Union loses this battle...the momentum of the Romanov dynasty will rise! But if we send troops to threaten Hebei , Shanxi is not appropriate, although doing so can temporarily contain part of the Kuomintang's troops, but it is not enough to recruit all the troops who were going to attack the Soviet Union to attack us! The best way now is..." He hesitated to speak, I just tapped the position of Vladivostok with a baton, where more than 70 troops are now fighting fiercely.Everyone here is someone who knows the strategy and strategy like the back of their hands, and they all know it in their hearts, but they all keep quiet and listen to Mao Zedong's continuation.He smiled bitterly and said: "In my opinion, the Soviet Union can only temporarily suspend its attack on Vladivostok, stabilize the rear first, and deploy heavy troops along the Far East section of the Siberian Railway. Our party should remain neutral between the Kuomintang and the Soviet Union! In fact The neutrality of our party is really beneficial to the Soviet Union, because if our party launches a revolutionary war at this time, it will face the encirclement and suppression of the national army...Although we are not afraid of them! But we have to make some strategic retreats, such as Abandoning the Mongolian plateau will make it even more difficult for the Soviet Union to defend the east.”

Li De, who had just replaced Cuikov here to help the CCP in its military struggle, had an ugly expression on his face, and asked a question: "The CCP controls a vast area, with a force of 20 troops, and excellent weapons and equipment. Except for heavy artillery, it is almost the same as that of the Soviet Union. Just like the Red Army, with such strength, it is impossible to fight an upright war with the Kuomintang? I think we can take advantage of the vast terrain of Inner Mongolia and the support of the Mongolian people to deal with the Kuomintang army to the end, and drag them down, right? "

Wu Xiuquan, who was sitting next to Li De, quickly translated Li De's words into Chinese. After hearing this, Mao Zedong shook his head first: "This is not possible! The time for our party to acquire Mongolia is too short, and we have not had time to develop a strong local government. In the past, we had to abandon most of the Mongolian region and stick to some important areas to fight decisively with the superior enemy. The situation is not good for us... because we used a large part of our energy and financial resources to build the Baotou Special Economic Zone! The heavy industry there has consumed countless poor and lower-middle peasants. It was built with hard-earned money, so we can give it up casually? As for Zhongyi Fort in Eastern Mongolia, we can’t give up, there are millions of our supporters and family members of local army cadres! And it’s still severe winter, they can’t do it at all Leaving the settlements around Zhongyi Fort and moving towards Western Mongolia. Once they attack, we will be forced to defend Zhongyi Fort and Baotou!"

"Why don't you rely on the Mongolian people? As long as the CCP is willing to truly liberate the Mongolian nation, they will definitely stand with the Red Army (referring to the border guards)! You should let go of Han chauvinism and truly believe in and rely on the Mongolian people!" Li De listened After finishing Wu Xiuquan's translation, he asked again loudly.

Mao Zedong's chest heaved violently a few times, and he gave the German military adviser who was even more annoying than Cuikov a hard look, and said coldly: "But the Mongols don't want to be liberated! They only want a living Buddha! Comrade Li De, do you know what a living Buddha is? The position of the Living Buddha in the hearts of the Mongolians is equivalent to the Jesus in the eyes of your Westerners in the Middle Ages! Now the two living Buddhas of Inner Mongolia and Inner Mongolia are in the hands of the Kuomintang. When the time comes to fight, the whole Mongolian nation will fight with us if they say a word The enemy! You still want to rely on them? Ridiculous!"

"Then why don't you eliminate the influence of this evil religion?" Li De stood up abruptly, staring fiercely at Mao Zedong from the small eyes behind his round glasses.And Mao Zedong also responded with stern eyes.Seeing that the scene was a bit discordant, Zhou Enlai quickly stood up to smooth things over and said, "Comrade advisor, eliminating the influence of Tibetan Buddhism will not happen overnight, and drastic measures cannot be taken. Now that the two living Buddhas are not in our hands, if we take drastic measures They will call on believers to riot in the Kuomintang-controlled area, and the Kuomintang will also send troops to intervene at that time, and we will face the enemy."

He paused, and finally added: "Comrade advisor, we sincerely hope that China and the Soviet Union can live in peace. If the Soviet Union is willing to take the land that Tsarist Russia looted from China..." Halfway through, he still shook his head I didn’t go any further. If it was a few years ago, it might still be useful. Now it’s really on the line. China has really developed to the stage of imperialism as the truth of Marxism said above!He no longer had the dignified expression just now, and nodded wearily: "I think Comrade Mao Zedong's opinion is more appropriate. Xiang Ying, Yu Jie, and Han Qing, do you have any opinions? If you don't have any opinions, quickly come up with an armed and neutral combat plan." Come out, Adviser Li De, please inform Moscow of my decision to maintain neutrality between the Kuomintang and the Soviet Union, and at the same time remind them of possible attacks by the Kuomintang army, especially the Far East section of the Trans-Siberian Railway, which must be closely guarded , that's all we can do... Runzhi, come with me, we need to discuss some things, we have to make arrangements for the Kuomintang's National Defense Force plan, but I'm worried that this will be another time for the Kuomintang Political offensive, we have to find a way to turn the unfavorable situation into a favorable situation."
