Chapter 1020: Codename Blade

It's just that it is not easy for Xu Rui to make this deal with the Soviet Union. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

At that time, the Soviet Union did not care about the CCP at all, and it is an indisputable fact that during the entire War of Resistance Against Japan, the Soviet Union provided a large amount of military assistance to the Nationalist Government, and even sent military advisers to almost every group army of the Nationalist Army, but only the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army did not have military advisers from the Soviet Union.

On the surface, the Central Committee of the CPSU has recognized Chairman Mao as the supreme leader of the CPC, but in fact, the Soviet Union is angry that Wang Ming, who returned to China with the holy decree of the Comintern, was not elected as the supreme leader of the CPC.

But Chairman Mao did not agree, he absolutely did not want the Chinese to be slaves again!

Therefore, at that time, the relationship between the CPSU and the CCP was very delicate.

Under such a premise, if Xu Rui wants to make a deal with the Soviet Union through the Party Central Committee, it is simply to seek the skin of the tiger.

Fortunately, Xu Rui still has a private channel, that is, the former Soviet Union Minister to China, Cherev, after Cherev left office and returned to China, the correspondence with Xu Rui has not been interrupted.

Soon after his return, Cherev was sent to the Far Eastern Front as Chief of the General Staff, but in fact, Cherev was secretly ordered by the Cheka headquarters to secretly investigate the treason of the commander-in-chief of the Far Eastern Front, Blyukhel, because the top leadership of the CPSU suspected Blyukhel of treason in the Battle of Lake Hassan.

The Battle of Lake Hassan is what the Japanese side called the Zhang Gufeng Incident.

In the original time and space, Blyukhel's treason case was finally established, although Blyukhel was one of the first five marshals awarded by the Soviet Union, but in the end he was still brutally executed, but Blyukhel's execution caused a great shock in the Soviet Red Army, and the top of the CPSU took Chelev as a scapegoat to execute in order to calm the public anger.

But in this parallel time and space, I don't know if it is because of Xu Rui's little butterfly, history has turned a corner, and Blyukhel's treason case has not been established, so until now, Blyukhel has stayed in the post of commander-in-chief of the Far Eastern Front and has not been executed, and Cherev has remained in the Far Eastern Front.

Wang Husheng was also worried that this matter would lead to unnecessary political disputes, saying: "Lao Xu, I'm worried about ......"

"Lao Wang, I know what you're worried about." Xu Rui interrupted Wang Husheng and said, "So I don't plan to make a deal directly with Cherev, I will let David be the middleman, with David and his arms trading company in front, the Comintern will not be able to find an excuse to put pressure on our party." ”

Wang Husheng said: "But isn't the U.S. government not allowing U.S. companies to do business with China? ”

Xu Rui said: "Lao Wang, it's really not me talking about you, you lack understanding of Western thinking, the U.S. government does not allow U.S. companies to trade with China, referring to direct trade exchanges, but to be an intermediary, between China and countries other than the United States to reach a middle trade, the U.S. government does not care." ”

"That's right." Wang Husheng suddenly said, "Then it's no problem." ”

At that moment, Xu Rui called a correspondent and began to draft a telegram to David.

At this time, it was late at night in New York on the other side of the world, David had just galloped on the female secretary, sat on the windowsill and drank red wine, ready to take a break and fight again, but received an urgent telegram from Xu Rui from the other side of the ocean, after receiving Xu Rui's telegram, David immediately had no intention of fighting with the female secretary.

David immediately sat down at his desk in his pajamas and began to draw up a list of goods.

Ruth, the female secretary, got out of the bed with her bare buttocks, walked behind David with a bare stripe, and wrapped her arms around David's neck from behind, her whole delicate body was almost completely attached to David's back, and then she bit David's ear and whispered, "Honey, what are you doing?" Why do you want me to wait alone in a big bed? ”

David turned his head and kissed Ruth on the cheek and said, "I'll come when I'm done writing the list of goods." ”

"A manifest of goods? Is it big business again? Ruth's eyes lit up immediately when she heard this, and she asked, "Which country?" ”

Recently, many European countries have approached David's arms trading company and asked for orders for anti-infantry directional mines and bazookas, and Ruth, as David's secretary, of course knows about it.

"China." David said hesitantly, "Our old friend Xu Rui. ”

"Xu Rui?" Ruth was stunned and said, "Honey, you're going to get in trouble by doing this." ”

"Trouble?" David shook his head and said, "No, no, no, there will be no trouble, I won't do business with Xu Rui directly, I'm just a middleman and earn a little referral fee." ”

"I see." Ruth didn't say more, just lay on David's back, quietly watched David draw up the list, and after a while, David had already drafted all the terms, then turned around and picked up Ruth, and then threw it heavily on the soft big bed, Ruth smiled coquettishly.

(Dividing Line)

Boli, Command of the Far Eastern Front of the Soviet Red Army.

The atmosphere in the headquarters was a little tense, and the communication and staff officers in the corridor were all solemn.

Early in the morning, Cherev knocked on the door of the office of the commander-in-chief of the Far Eastern Front, Blyukher.

"Your Excellency, Marshal." Cherev said with a solemn expression, "According to intelligence, the first armored division of the Kwantung Army has been officially formed, and the second armored division is already being prepared, and it is ......."

Blyukhel unloaded the pipe in his mouth and asked, "And what?" ”

Cherev took a deep breath of cold air, and then said: "Moreover, there are all kinds of signs that the Kwantung Army will continue to prepare for the construction of the third and even fourth armored divisions in the future!" Ishihara Waner, who has much greater ambitions than any previous chief of staff of the Kwantung Army, has far exceeded the need to consolidate the Northeast, and I judge that Ishihara's goal is to completely annihilate our Far Eastern Front! ”

Blyukhel nodded and said in a deep voice: "Ishihara Wan'er, it is indeed not to be underestimated. ”

Cherev said in a deep voice: "Your Excellency Marshal, our Far Eastern Front should make a decisive attack and seize Manchuria in one fell swoop before the Kwantung Army is ready, at least to control North Manchuria, otherwise, when the Kwantung Army is ready, we will be passive in the situation we will face." ”

Blyukhel smiled bitterly and said: "The military council will not agree. ”

Cherev was immediately silent when he heard this, indeed, at present, the Soviet Union is in a critical period of the Third Five-Year Plan, and the focus of the Central Committee of the CPSU is industrial development, and at this time the Far Eastern Front will definitely not be allowed to take the initiative to provoke a war with a world power like Japan.

At this time, an intelligence staff officer walked in and handed a piece of information to Cherev.

After reading it, Cherev's face suddenly changed greatly, and he said to Blyuhel: "Your Excellency Marshal, our agents lurking in Xinjing have just sent back a message that the Kwantung Army has just launched a top-secret program codenamed 'Blade', and because the level of secrecy of this plan is very high, our agents have not been able to obtain first-hand information for the time being, but he judges that this is very likely to be a new revolutionary weapon research and development program. ”

"Blades?" "Order the intelligence services, at all costs, to get all the details of the Blade Project in the shortest possible time!" ”

While he was talking, Cherev's adjutant walked in and reported: "Your Excellency, your old friend, Mr. David, has just sent a telegram from the other side of the ocean, please take a look. ”

Cherev took the telegram, but after reading it, his face was strange.

Blyukhel frowned and asked, "Chelev, is there any problem?" ”

Cherev handed the telegram to Blyukhel and said: "David wants to make a deal with us. ”

"Deal?" Blyukhel hurriedly read the telegram and couldn't help but be stunned, this was indeed a deal, and the David Arms Trading Company demanded that the Soviet government immediately provide materials worth five million US dollars to be imported into China through the Northwest Highway, and clearly pointed out that this batch of materials was given to the CCP's Dameishan base area, not the Nationalist Government.

In exchange, the David Arms Trading Company would provide the Soviet Union with a top-secret piece of information about the security of the Far East!

Frowning, Blyukhel said puzzledly: "David is an American, and he is far away in New York, how can he have top-secret information related to the safety of the Far East?" ”

Cherev, however, already knew what was going on.

At that moment, Cherev said: "Your Excellency Marshal, I think I already know what is going on, David is just a middleman, and it is not David's company that has intelligence in his hands, but this Dameishan base of the CCP, to be exact, another old friend of mine, Mr. Xu Rui." ”

"Xu Rui?" Blyukhel's eyes froze, "That Chinese friend of yours who is particularly capable of fighting?" ”

"Yes, it's definitely him." Cherev said, "It should be that he has secret information about the Kwantung Army, so he wants to make a deal with our Soviet Union." ”

Blyukhel asked puzzledly, "Then why didn't he just trade with us?" ”

Cherev was speechless, thinking that the political sensitivity of this boss was really low, and the reason why Xu Rui refused to trade directly with the Soviet Union was, of course, that he was worried that the Comintern would intervene in it, in case the Comintern knew that Xu Rui had top-secret information in his hands, and then he would give an order to let the CCP hand over the information, and the CCP would give it or not?

Give it, Xu Rui is unwilling, if you don't give it, he will violate the ** discipline!

Therefore, Xu Rui had to borrow David's hand to make a deal with the Soviet Union.

Even if the Soviet Union knew that the intelligence was in Xu Rui's hands, Xu Rui could completely deny it, the Comintern sent Qin to Dameishan, and Xu Rui could also say that he didn't know anything, as for why David named and proposed that the Soviet Union would send materials worth five million US dollars to Dameishan through the Northwest Highway, Xu Rui could also deduce that it was because he had a personal relationship with David, which was a big gift from David.

However, Cherev could not say these words explicitly.

At the moment, Cherev changed the topic and said: "The key to the problem is this top-secret information, what kind of intelligence does Xu Rui have in his hands?" Is it related to Project Blade? (To be continued.) )
