The tall boots stepped on the snow on the tarmac and "clicked", a cold wind blew, Lin Jun unconsciously covered his face with his hands, and the sheepskin gloves felt very good on his face. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Comrade Andrey, you?"

The interviewer was a middle-aged man in his forties wearing a woolen collar coat.

"It's all right, Comrade Bulganin, I'm a little unaccustomed to the air here." Lin Jun turned his head and smiled at the man.

Semipalatinsk is a few degrees warmer than Moscow in winter, but the steppe climate in the interior of Central Asia is even more uncomfortable than the dry and cold weather in Moscow, especially for Lin Jun, a person who has suffered a heavy lung injury. But he still has to come, the planning of the nuclear test site needs to do a lot of work, although a lot of it will be a small matter, but if there is no clear goal indication, the people below may engage in a one-size-fits-all approach, do not get the desired results, and may also cause problems in people's livelihood.

Nikolai Alexandrovich Bulganin, Deputy Chairman of the Council of People's Commissars of the USSR and President of the State Bank, the "God of Wealth" of the Soviets, can also be regarded as an old friend of Lin Jun. Since Lin Jun served as the first deputy political commissar in the armament department, the two often had to interact over the budget of the army, and this time they arrived in Semipalatinsk on the same plane as Lin Jun.

What is Lin Jun dragging Bulganin for? Of course, the "God of Wealth" will have to pay for it -- in Lin Jun's plan, more than 5,000 aborigines will need to be relocated because of the nuclear test site. Choosing a new place for these immigrants is not a big problem, there are places in Kazakhstan, but the whole migration process is indispensable - money is also needed under the planned economic system, but it is mainly based on internal accounting.

Since the test site was decided by the Central Committee of the Soviets, these funds did not need to be prepared by the Kazakh Soviet Socialist Republic, there would be central financial expenditures, and what Kazakhstan needed to do was actually the specific work on the selection and construction of the new homeland.

Bulganin did not yet know what the purpose of this new testing ground was, but he also knew that it was enough not to ask too many questions, just do the logistics. In recent years, military spending has become more and more large, and his life as the governor of the national bank has become more and more difficult, but fortunately the national economy has now moved closer to the "wartime economy", otherwise Bulganin's purse would be even more uncomfortable.

Although I don't know the specific role, it is certain that it has to do with the military, and subconsciously I feel that it has a lot to do with the study of Novosibirsk - as the deputy chairman of the People's Commissariat of the USSR, Bulganin still knows some of the top secrets of the central government, not to mention that all the large financial transfers have to go through his hands. But I still don't know why.

The original scale of the experimental site was only 18,000 square kilometers, but the National Defense Committee did not agree, and Lin Jun demanded that the experimental site be expanded to at least 30,000 square kilometers and expand the experimental field to the east by more than 100 kilometers.

There are mountains, barren beaches, semi-desert steppes, steppes, lakes and a small number of swamps, and although the population density is small, there are still a few settlements and some Kazakh herders within the demarcated area, and this time they will all have to move, and the funds required are not too much and not too small.

It stands to reason that this does not require Bulganin to go out in person, and the people below can solve the problem, but since Comrade Andrei wants to go to Kazakhstan with him, Bulganin will of course go into battle in person.

Lin Jun didn't mean anything else, he just wanted the following people to know: funds are not a problem, and the work must be done in place!

The central explanation for the usefulness of this large experimental field is a long-range artillery and aviation range. Is there a cannon with such a long range? You don't need to figure it out below, just do it.

On December 7, Lin Jun and his entourage, who had resolved the Semipalatinsk issue, returned to Moscow, and after a briefing in the Kremlin, Stalin asked him to stay in Moscow for dinner, and at the same time summoned the new head of the Soviet military mission to China.

On the battlefield of the world war, there are many brave and good generals; However, there are few brave generals with diplomatic careers. And in the Soviet Red Army of the Second World War there was one such general, and he was Marshal of the Soviet Red Army Vasily Ivanovich Chuikov, who was the same age as the century.

Now that the situation in Europe is becoming clearer and clearer, the situation is developing toward an unfavorable situation, and the Soviet Union urgently needs to stabilize the situation in the Far East, and at the same time stabilize Japan, increase assistance to China in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, and drag Japan down.

Lin Jun was the advocate of this plan, and now the central government was going to send a new military advisory group to China, and the head of the mission needed to be very careful -- and finally Lin Jun proposed that Major General Chuikov, who had been on an envoy to China and was fluent in Chinese, be the head of the mission.

The other day Vorosinov had already asked Chuikov about his personal opinion, and Comrade Major General understood how important the responsibilities that were to be entrusted to him, and with a strong sense of self-confidence and responsibility, he expressed that he would do everything in his power to complete the task.

In the autumn of 1926 and 1927, Chuikov went to China twice as a military adviser. During his two-year tenure as a second military adviser, Chuikov traveled extensively throughout Northern, Southern, and Sichuan provinces. He has a deep understanding of China and has learned to speak Chinese fluently.

Lin Jun's evaluation of Chuikov is: an outstanding military commander and an excellent diplomat. With such guarantees, Stalin decided to summon Chuikov.

Chuikov did not expect Stalin to receive him in person, which made him very nervous and surprised.

At 7 o'clock in the evening, Lin Jun was sitting on the sofa in Stalin's office drinking tea, and a few glasses of Georgian wine just now made him a little uncomfortable, and today was the first time he had drunk since he was injured.

Snornick reported that Chuikov was waiting outside, Stalin motioned for him to come in, and Lin Jun also got up from the sofa and put the teacup on the coffee table.

The burly Chuikov strode into the office, "Comrade Stalin, Marshal Plunyakov, Major General of the Red Army Vasily Ivanovich Chuikov came to report. ”

Chuikov didn't know that Lin Jun was also there, and paused while reporting.

"Comrade Chuikov, are you clear about your new mission?" Stalin asked.

Stalin liked to stand and talk, which made Lin Jun have to keep the tree.

"Yes, Comrade Stalin, Marshal Vorosinov has already given me detailed instructions. I'm willing to go anywhere you tell me to go. Zhukov was visibly uncomfortable, this was his first meeting with Stalin.

"I gave the order, and the candidate was determined by Andrei." Stalin motioned to Lin Jun on the side, "Your mission will be explained to you in detail by Comrade Andrei." ”

Stalin knew that Lin Jun's head was a little uncomfortable, and it was better to sit and guide the work, and this Chinese strategy has always been planned by Lin Jun behind his back, and it is very appropriate for him to explain it, and it will not reduce the importance of this conversation.

Lin Jun nodded to Stalin: "Please be seated, Comrade Chuikov." After speaking, he sat comfortably on the sofa first.

He handed a folder to Chuikov: "At this time, we will have to assist China with a list of military supplies, 200 fighter jets, of which 80 will be advanced lagers, 3,100 fast bombers, 400 artillery pieces, 600 Gis-5 cars and corresponding equipment and accessories. Your mission to China this time was not easy, and the ****** government's anti-Japanese stance was not firm and it was overly optimistic about the situation. ”

Cui Kefu listened carefully to Lin Jun's explanation, and nodded that he would be mentally prepared.

"Not only do you have to help the ****** army learn to use our equipment, but you ****** build up the resolve to defeat Japan. The first task of you and all the personnel stationed in China is to tightly tie the hands and feet of the Japanese, and only when the hands and feet of the Japanese are firmly tied in China can we avoid the unfavorable situation of fighting on two fronts in the future war against Germany-------"

At this time, Stalin on the side interjected: "The Central Committee will select other members of the mission for you, and then prepare to go to Almaty by train, and then go to China by air." It is necessary to coordinate the relations between the two parties in China as much as possible, and if possible, to find out the latest strategic intentions of Japan through intelligence means. ”

Lin Jun was not too worried about Stalin's prompt, Japan urgently needed to obtain strategic resources such as iron, oil, and tin, and "southward expansion" was the least costly and fastest way.

On the day before the New Year in 1941, Alexander told Lin Jun that through persistent espionage efforts, the intelligence agents stationed in southern France had finally obtained an overview of Hitler's talks with the Vesy government two months earlier.

It was a meeting on 24 October at the Gare de Montouval, a small town on the banks of the Loire, in which the Vichy government was presented by Petain and Chancellor Laval. Unlike at Compiègna, Hitler was no longer arrogant in his talks, but showed a desire for political cooperation with the Vichy government.

Laval went so far as to compare Hitler to Napoleon during the talks! In support of Germany's war against Britain, the most important thing was that the French did not forget their common enemy, the Soviet Union, and that they had to aim their artillery at this enemy.

Laval behaved like a "defeated hero", and his remarks about the Soviet Union were clearly intended to tell Hitler to accomplish what Napoleon had failed to do.

"Alexander, it seems that all of Europe is still waiting to hit us."

Alexander shrugged his shoulders: "We'll see, none of them can spare them." ”

"I wish we had brought the likes of Laval to the judgment seat." (To be continued, if you want to know what will happen next, please log in to the www.qidian.com, more chapters, support the author, support genuine reading!) (To be continued.) )
