The endless Gobi Desert, glowing in the sun, the yellow is sand, the white is saline, the flat terrain can tell people that a long time ago, this place may have been a saltwater lake, the years have dried up this saltwater lake, all that remains is the white vast saline, and the river that has long dried up, enduring the torment under the scorching sun.

It is on such a deserted Gobi desert, but there is a straight railway, the roadbed is built on the white saline, two rails from the east, extending to the west, and disappearing in the vast Gobi depths, I don't know where this railway leads, because on the map and traffic map, there is no trace of this railway, only the military's top-secret map can find the existence of this railway, and on the military's top-secret map, this railway is codenamed "Gobi Line 6".

Now, a train without any signs is speeding on this "Gobi Line 6", the steam engine locomotive is spewing out billowing black smoke, pulling dozens of carriages, most of them are freight cars, a few are passenger cars, and in one of the passenger cars, Zhao Beizheng is sitting on the sand, and Lan Tianwei who is sitting opposite him face to face, there is a Chinese chess board between the two, and now this game of chess has been carried out to a critical time, the chess pieces on both sides of the game are left, and the general may be between a few steps.

"Xiuhao, your chess skills are getting higher and higher."

Zhao Bei smiled and moved one of the "cannons" on his side forward.

"You're not bad, you almost took my army just now."

Lan Tianwei also smiled, and then moved one of the "elephants" on his side in the corresponding direction.

Jiang Fangzhen, who was sitting on the sidelines watching the chess, was quite disdainful, pointed to the "elephant" and said: "This move, you can't go well, if it were me, I would move this 'rook', so that he could not hit your rear, and you could further threaten his rear." ”

"Watching chess is silent, true gentleman, Baili, your words today are a bit much."

Zhao Bei glanced at Jiang Fangzhen, and Lan Tianwei also glanced at this "stinky chess basket", and his expression was also quite dissatisfied.

"Okay, I'll shut up."

Jiang Fangzhen immediately closed his mouth, then picked up a cigarette from the coffee table next to him and put it in his mouth.

Before he could light the cigarette, Jiang Fangzhen saw a staff officer enter the carriage with a telegram in his hand, so he stood up, took a few steps, took the telegram, and took a look.

"A telegram from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said that the British government has officially decided to return sovereignty over Hong Kong by the end of this year at the latest, and at the same time, the Portuguese government has also said that it will act in concert with the United Kingdom, and when the British government formally transfers sovereignty over Hong Kong, the Portuguese government will hand over sovereignty over Macao.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs seemed very happy and wanted to take credit. ”

Jiang Fangzhen walked up to Zhao Bei with the telegram and shook the telegram.

But Zhao Bei didn't look up, and Lan Tianwei on the opposite side didn't look up either, the two still looked at the chessboard, and after a while, Zhao Bei said a word.

"This result is not what I want to see the most."

Lan Tianwei followed, and the meaning was similar.

"Yes, I didn't expect the British government to retract its head, and now, if you want to go to war, you have to find another excuse."

"Xiuhao, don't be complacent, I'll tell you the truth, the world war is just around the corner, even if we don't do it, someone else will do it, do you think that this time the British government and the Australian government made major concessions to Japan on the Papua issue, and the Japanese government and the military department will be satisfied? As far as Kao Papua is concerned, the Japanese military still can't look down on it, they actually look at Australia, in recent years, Australia has been reorganizing its military and fighting, and it is not in the reckless army, that is, it does not want to be the second in Tsarist Russia. ”

Speaking of this, Zhao Beicai raised his head, looked at Jiang Fangzhen, paused, and said: "This time, the British government bought Japan with a small favor, which is enough to show that the Japanese government is still waiting and watching and has not yet made up its mind, and the British government is also a foreign power, although the balance situation in the Far East can be maintained for the time being, but it will not last long, and on the European side, in my opinion, it is still necessary to step up the arming of Germany." ”

"Do you mean to ask the Navy to speed up the construction of those submarines? The Germans are indeed very satisfied with our snorkel submarines, they want to add some orders, but they still want to achieve transactions through barter trade, Germany still lacks hard currency, and does not want to use our currency for trade settlement, this small abacus is also shrewd. ”

Lan Tianwei said.

"Submarines are still secondary, I think, the German Navy still wants to show the surface fleet, but Germany's shipbuilding industry is no worse than ours, I'm afraid we can't help in this regard, as for aircraft carriers, Germany is limited by international treaties, and it seems that it can't be counted on at the moment, so the rest can only be in the bombing idea, and tanks.

Baili, you immediately write a reply telegram to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, first commend and praise them for their great contribution to the recovery of the motherland's territory, and then tell them to step up consultations with the German side and strive to solve this international trade settlement currency problem as soon as possible, although the Chinese dollar is not a hard currency recognized by the United States and Britain, but compared with the currencies of other countries, the Chinese dollar is still quite kao, and Germany's set of settlement methods is more beneficial to Germany, this situation is not good, and it must be changed.

In the future, the international contest is not only a contest of force, but also a contest of finance, who has mastered the exercise of international hard currency, who will grasp the lifeblood of the world economy, the current position of the dollar is not supported by kao gold, but by the economic hegemony of the United States, now, China's currency also needs hegemony, at least in the Far East, this hegemony has been initially established, and the rest is to wait for the opportunity to further encroach on the territory of the dollar.

Now Germany and South American countries are quite active in trade, if China can also join this trade system, it will be very helpful to consolidate the status of the Chinese dollar, as long as Germany recognizes the international status of the Chinese dollar, the South American countries will follow suit, this is very important, be sure to make it clear to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, let them understand the importance, the relationship between countries is still based on the economy in the final analysis. ”

"Yes.

I'll go to the telegraph room right away. ”

Jiang Fangzhen nodded, turned around and left the carriage.

"I wonder if the President has made up his mind when the German diplomatic envoy has conveyed the intention of the German Government to sign an agreement with us to jointly oppose communism, industry, and the International?" After Jiang Fangzhen left the carriage, Lan Tianwei suddenly changed the topic and asked Zhao Bei.

Zhao Bei smiled and said: "Germany is doing this in order to show Britain and France that its rearmament is to fight against the Soviet Union and the European Red Forces, so that Britain and France can dispel their doubts about Germany's rearmament action, and Germany suggests that our country also join this international agreement.

I have decided not to accede to this international agreement and to maintain our neutrality, but I have conveyed the Germans' intentions to the Japanese Government, which is now anxious to find military allies everywhere, and perhaps, for the Japanese Government and the Ministry of War, this is a good opportunity to form an alliance with Germany. ”

Lan Tianwei hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "So, the president will not seek any form of military alliance with Germany?" "Germany is the Nazis in power, what is this Nazi, I know better than anyone else, it is okay to deal with the Nazis, it is okay to make secret transactions, but you can't form an alliance, don't look at the Nazis shouting Sino-German friendship now, but if the Nazis rule Europe, the future of China, the international environment is likely to be not as good as it is now."

In fact, it can be made clear in one sentence that the Nazis wanted to exterminate all nationalities and races except the Germans, and even if they were not eliminated, they would become slaves of Germany. ”

"But if it can't seek a military alliance with Germany, how can the Soviet Union solve it? If we don't give the Germans confidence, will Germany take the initiative to attack the Soviet Union? Lan Tianwei was a little strange, to be honest, Zhao Bei's strategy did make him a little confused, which was contrary to the "long-distance and close attack" in the art of war.

"Germany, neither the USSR, nor the USSR are fuel-efficient lamps.

The slogan of the Soviet Union was 'world unity', and Nazi Germany's goal was to exterminate the majority of humanity and fight for the living space of Germany's 'excellent nation'.

It seems to me that the ideas of the Soviet Union, the claims of the Nazis, are unrealistic, and even if one of them can rule Europe, it will not be possible to maintain the empire for long, an empire that represses humanity, and its collapse is only a matter of time, and you only have to go to the public entertainment places of the two countries to understand this problem.

The Nazis started with ultra-nationalism, which is completely different from the 'world harmony' advocated by the Soviet Union, you know, in modern times, the influence of this nationalism is not comparable with other isms, which is also in line with the instinct of human self-interest, whenever the crisis erupts, nationalism is always more marketable than internationalism, and the tariff barriers that are now widely established in all countries of the world are the best proof.

It was very dangerous to be neighbors of the Nazis, and now the Soviet Union clearly saw this, so the Soviet Union was actively intervening in the Spanish Civil War, and it was also stepping up a political purge to consolidate its supreme authority.

Xiuhao, just wait and see, in the near future, there will be an extremely tragic war between the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany, whether China is allied with Germany or not, Germany will attack the Soviet Union, this is the essence of Nazi Germany, and what we have to do is to provide Germany with sufficiently advanced weapons, so that the Soviet Union will be fully attacked in the Soviet-German war, and further weaken the Soviet Union. ”

Speaking of which, Zhao Bei ended the discussion of this topic in a timely manner, strategy is his strength, but this political theory has always been his shortcoming, and he is not good at it, so he doesn't want to be entangled with Lan Tianwei, who is also not good at political theory, on this topic, just remember one thing: Although the party that holds the strength does not necessarily represent justice, but in this world, strength determines everything, as long as you have enough strength, you can be invincible.

The most important thing in strength is force, and as the main multiplier of force, the development of new weapons and equipment has always been the focus of Zhao Bei's attention; even in the days when he went to the West Mountain, he did not let go of the research and development of new weapons and equipment; in fact, the reason why he served as a "senior adviser" in so many key departments was also because he did not want to suffer irreparable losses to the cause of national defense because of Li Yuanhong's democratically elected government cutting government spending.

When necessary, Zhao Bei even paid his own money to provide financial support for the development of these new weapons and equipment, and the reason why he was willing to use his brother-in-law to set up so many enterprises was precisely for this purpose, one was to earn money to subsidize the funds for research and development projects, and the other was to provide technical support for the development of new weapons and equipment, and now, Zhao Bei's brother-in-law is the most influential private defense industry contractor in China, and many of the work related to the development of new weapons and equipment have the shadow of this Han consortium, new aviation motives, new tank armor, New submarine propellers, new avionics, aviation gyroscopes, engineering plastics...... These new machines and technologies are labeled as Han's enterprises.

As a reward for Zhao Bei's hard work, the current industry has stepped on a new level, although the scale still maintains the old pattern, but the technical reserves have reached a new height, as long as the funds are abundant, Zhao Bei can quickly a series of dazzling new weapons and equipment troops.

Because the development of this technology has been in a state of top secret, for the sake of secrecy, the research and development base is in the depths of the vast Gobi in the northwest, and this "Gobi Line 6" railway is also leading to that secret base.

The secret base is codenamed "Firmament", there are two main development projects, one is a rocket, the other is nuclear energy, at present, the development of nuclear energy has not yet made a breakthrough, but the development of liquid fuel rockets has achieved satisfactory results, and today, Zhao Bei is going to observe a rocket launch in that base, this is also the first launch experiment of this type of rocket, if successful, it means that China is about to have a tactical missile with a range of more than 400 kilometers, after all, The difference between rocket technology and missile technology is in that payload.

Zhao Bei has even thought of a name for this tactical missile, and if the experiment is successful, the first tactical missile in this space-time plane will be officially named "Thundering".
