Before the inspection was over, people from the U.S. Embassy had already come to discuss cooperation.

At this time, Yan'an's directive also arrived, which said that some temporary wartime trade agreements could be signed, and the agreements set some time limits. If you're not sure, give it a try and leave room for the future.

In the name of the local government, Koji signed several wartime cooperation agreements with the U.S. military, including the sale of certain machinery and equipment by the U.S. to the Northeast government and the sale of war materials by the Tohoku government to the U.S. government in accordance with the Lend-Lease Act. The war material was disposed of by the United States Observer Group in accordance with the Lend-Lease Act.

U.S. troops stationed observation groups in agreed cities in several cities; The US military borrowed the Sakhalin flight base, and the northeastern government was responsible for the defense and construction of the base. The two parties jointly own the judicial power of the base, and the loan period is one year, and each time before the deadline, the two sides negotiate an extension.

The U.S. government strengthened business cooperation with local governments in Tohoku and signed a five-year free trade agreement.

This time, the cooperation is characterized by business cooperation. Military cooperation, with the exception of the previously agreed use of bases on Sakhalin and cooperation on military supplies under the Lend-Lease Act, is commercial cooperation.

There is no military cooperation, and the sphere of activity of the Americans is also strictly limited, the Americans have no privileges, no extraterritoriality.

There is nothing wrong with changing the name of the country of the agreement to the United Kingdom and replacing it with Canada.

This is not the first time that the U.S. military has cooperated with the Northeast Coalition forces. Every cooperation is a benefit for both sides, and the US personnel in charge are either military or diplomatic, and they all have intelligence backgrounds, and they all gain personal achievements from cooperation.

This time, the Northeast has put some restrictions on these agreements, and the American side is unhappy. However, for victory in the Great War, these agreements are needed.

In the Northeast, these agreements came into force immediately, and in the United States, the agreements went through a bit of a process and soon came into force.

The Northeast Bureau issued a series of orders to the local administrative and military chiefs. The U.S. military side, because of Stilwell, moved extremely quickly, and dispatched planes to quickly transport personnel directly from Seattle on the west coast of the United States to Sakhalin. In less than four days, the first personnel were in place.

The U.S. military, like Japan, is also caught in the dilemma of fighting on two fronts. The Americans have killed too many people in the Pacific Ocean, and they want to open a second battlefield in Europe, they can't take care of it, and the Chinese battlefield is not competitive, and now, the sudden rise of northern China can be used.

All operations were carried out in secret, that is, they were done in a bypass of the Chongqing government. Yan'an naturally knew about it, and some of the ideas came from Yan'an.

When evaluating the attitude of the United States toward Yan'an and Northeast China, many people believed that they had suffered heavy casualties in the battle against the Japanese army, and it was foreseeable that Chiang's troops would preserve their strength in the next few years, while the Eighth Route Army and the Northeast Coalition Army would be defeated and wounded both by the Japanese army in an active battle with the Japanese army.

The United States did not care too much about the demands of the Northeast. Among the supplies they gave to the Soviet Union under Lend-Lease was a large amount of machine-building equipment. China has always been backward, can they still create miracles?

After a year or two, the entire Northeast, North China, and Outer Northeast formed a complete industrial system driven by a hundred or dozens of factories.

Just as Xiaolu was fully engaged in the transaction with the United States, Southwest Associated University and other Tianjin universities in Beiping began to move north, and the first batch of professors returned to Beiping.

April 7, 1944, Beiping.

All the high-ranking officers stationed in Beiping arrived at the Temple of Heaven airfield to greet the first batch of professors from Southwest Associated University and other universities, and those who returned were the presidents of the five universities, as well as several vice presidents and directors of academic affairs.

After the liberation of Tianjin, the Southwest Bureau sent personnel to contact the Southwest Associated University and told them that Beiping would be restored soon, and we could help you move the school back.

The school has been working with them for a long time, has a lot of trust in them, and they have always been concerned about the situation and have a deep understanding, so they immediately agreed to start moving back.

After the liberation of Beiping, the leaders of the three schools immediately took the plane sent by the Northeast and returned to Beiping. Several other schools also asked to participate in the program, and this time the plane was small, bringing back only the leaders of five universities.

When shaking hands with these academic leaders, Xiao Lu felt that he had achieved great things: these universities were finally in his own hands, and Xiao Lu looked at these universities as if he saw great changes in the future. After dealing with the European battlefield, can we go back to the future?

Return.

Hu no return?

If you can't go back now, then fade out of the political arena first.

The professors were first invited to Cuimingzhuang,

First, Xiaolu talked to them about the university relocation plan.

The plan for the relocation was very detailed, the leaders of the school came back in the first batch, the other professors were transported to North China by the planes sent by the Northeast, and the young teachers, teaching assistants and other organizations organized students to go to North China by all possible means of transportation. You can ask the Ministry of Education for transportation expenses.

At present, the Ministry of Education has agreed to allow everyone to go home, but the funds given are limited. You can rest assured that the cost is borne by the Northeast government. However, please keep quiet, otherwise, the Ministry of Education will put all the costs on our heads, which is quite heavy.

Some teachers and some local college students stayed in Kunming and continued to build universities such as Southwest Associated University. Education in the Southwest cannot be reduced by the relocation of universities. The children in the southwest are eager for education, they are like small seedlings, give a little sunshine, and they will be brilliant. Please, everyone, help the children.

Koji and they told in detail about the protection of all universities and other cultural facilities during the war. Although some professors at various universities cooperated with the Japanese army, none of the professors fled with the Japanese after the war. All school property is well protected.

In addition, at present, prices in Peiping are soaring, and the credibility of Japan's counterfeit currency has been lost. We are not going to abandon the existing currency immediately, but to use physical money and use food as wages. Our plan was done, and the amount of grain converted from everyone's wages in 1936 to the prices in 1936 was used as wages. Students are also given a subsidy of a certain amount of food per month and a certain amount of pocket money. Let's see if there are any objections.

The professors and presidents are all satisfied, and it is very good that they have returned. People say it's better to go back, so it is.

Xiao Lu was also happy to see that they were satisfied, and said with a smile: "Since it is so good to return, I should also return." ”

Why did you return?

I'm not in good health and I personally plan to recuperate for a while.

April 7, 1944, Beiping.

Xiaolu sent a telegram to Yan'an, asking him to make every effort to deal with European and Taiwan affairs in the name of illness in the next two months and make some arrangements. Now, the time has come and it's time to act. Please send the leaders of North China to Pingping to take office.

That night, Yan'an called, and there were only two words: Zhaozhun.

Xiaolu is preparing to fade out of the political arena, because Yan'an and Xiaolu have already reached a consensus and approved it.

Nowadays, the Northeast has formed a pattern in which Guan, Peng, Chen, Wei, Zhang and others are the main ones administratively, and Yang Zhao, Zhou, and Liu Lu are the main ones in the military, and Outer Mongolia is the one who is Guan Xiangying's military and political affairs, and Outer Xing'anling is the one who is Wei Zhengmin's military and political affairs, and Rehe Zhang Shouhou's military and political affairs.

In North China, it is led collectively by General Ye and others. The person in charge of each region is responsible to Yan'an, and the situation is very good.

This is a pattern of collective leadership, mutual trust, and consultation on everything, so that the operation is stable and harmonious.

Xiao Lu himself is in a detached position, constantly dispersing his power, and does not care much about anything other than external affairs and strategic production affairs.

Since I have promised Yan'an, I will not leave this year, or even next year, so I will simply do big things by myself.

He's going to get out of the public eye for a while, get out of all the big cities, find a corner, and deal with something quietly. Xue Rui asked him, will he return to Shenyang in early June? What she meant was to contact the people of the future, pick up the boxes, and send things back. Xiao Lu felt uncertain, so he asked Xue Rui to contact Sun Weishi and asked Sun Weishi to go to Beiling to pick up the box and deliver the box.

Sun Weishi is the only person in the Northeast Bureau who knows this secret. Officially, because he knew this secret, Sun Weishi was persuaded to leave the literary and artistic circles and enter the confidential department.

On the evening of April 8, 1944, Beiping.

Yang Jingyu, who stayed in Beiping, met Xiaolu.

Yang Jingyu was the only member of the command who remained here. Everyone else is on a new campaign and all are leaving.

Yang Jingyu said: "Do you have to leave for a while?" He felt that Xiaolu's health was okay and he could support it. He himself had to fight in the south of Hebei and the north of Henan, and he also had to prepare for the Korean war, so he could not be distracted and preside over local government affairs. Currently, there is no mayor in Peiping.

Xiaolu said: "Didn't we recommend Ye Jianying, Chief of Staff Ye, or Hu Fu, who is now the political commissar of the New Fourth Army Liu, to govern Beiping?" I haven't had time to ask, which one does Yan'an decide? ”

Yang Jingyu: "No reply yet." Most of them are Chief of Staff Ye. Chief of Staff Ye has already taken office in Beiping, and he has the advantage of ruling North China. Political Commissar Deng is also a candidate, but unfortunately, he has other important tasks, Yan'an wants to point at the Central Plains, and he can't do without him if he wants to use one of their divisions. ”

Xiao Lu: "Since Yan'an allows me to rest, there will definitely be arrangements." Let me tell you that I have another task to rest this time. Let's talk about North Korea first. ”

Yang Jingyu knew that Xiaolu had to deal with some things outside Northeast and North China, and he vaguely guessed this, so he no longer bothered and concentrated on studying North Korea's next arrangement with him.

The Northeast Bureau planned to attack North Korea, starting with the occupation of Vladivostok. At that time, the internal situation in the Northeast was unstable, and there were Hebei troops pressing the border outside, and they were not able to fight North Korea.

The fight against Korea is a major battle, and it is related to the development of the situation in the whole world and the next attack on Japan, so it is very necessary to prepare in advance.

The two men talked for hours and were exhausted. Just about to take a break, Yan'an called: "Officially appointed Chief of Staff Ye as the mayor of Beiping, responsible for the affairs of Beiping and North China." "A while ago, Chief of Staff Ye's official title should have been the acting mayor of Beiping.

The two were overjoyed. Immediately called back: "Very happy." It must be properly handed over. Don't read it. ”

Historically, Ye Shuai has gone through four generations of Chinese leaders, Sun, Jiang, Mao, and Deng, all of whom have assisted him, and his strategic vision is far-reaching and unparalleled.
