It's late at night,

There were only two people in the office, one was Zhao Bei and the other was Qin Hongwen, and they were sitting at their desks, studying a blueprint.

Zhao Bei is the president, Qin Hongwen is the vice minister of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce, and the two are sitting together to study the blueprint, obviously it cannot be a military matter, in fact, what they are studying now is the issue of industrial development.

Specifically, the blueprint that Zhao Bei and Qin Hongwen are studying is the blueprint for the construction of a large-scale chemical plant, which uses a number of the latest machinery and equipment imported from Germany, and once completed and put into operation, it will become the largest chemical plant in China, which can not only serve agriculture and industry, but also serve the military.

"Are you sure that it will be completed and put into production within a year?" Zhao Bei asked Qin Hongwen.

Qin Hongwen nodded and said: "As long as the funds are abundant, it will not be a problem to complete the project within a year, as for production, as long as the raw materials are in place, it is not a problem, and now the main plant of the factory has been laid, and the installation and commissioning of machinery and equipment and the training of workers are not a problem." ”

"Well, after you go back, you can do it according to your plan, you don't have to worry about other things, and you don't have to worry about oil supply, the domestic oil fields are gradually increasing production, which can ensure your needs."

Zhao Bei relieved his heart, discussed with Qin Hongwen again, and then instructed the secretary to send Qin Hongwen out of the office.

After Qin Hongwen left, Zhao Bei looked at the alarm clock on the table, it was already eleven o'clock in the evening, and then looked at the arrangement on the schedule, and found that there was still one thing that had not been dealt with, so he picked up the phone, shook the switchboard, and ordered to transfer to Nanyuan Air Base, and asked about the whereabouts of a plane, and after learning that the plane had landed at Nanyuan Air Base, he put down the phone and instructed the secretary to make him a cup of coffee.

The main reports in the newspapers still focused on two things, one was the news of the resumption of war between Asian countries and Britain, and the other was the news of the amphibious landing of Japanese troops in northeastern Australia.

But Zhao Bei knows very well that there is still some distance from victory, at least in the short term, it is difficult to see the British government succumb, this is mainly because of the strange calm of the situation in Europe, and I don't know if the wheel of history is turning too hard, so far, Germany and Italy have not started a war, although the Italian "leader" Mussolini has jumped up and down in recent days, but he has never dared to make a move in North Africa or Southern Europe, and it is clear that he still wants to wait for the Chinese Army to drink the Persian Gulf.

Zhao Bei is also very longing for the Persian Gulf, but the problem is that if the British troops in southern India and Ceylon cannot be cleaned up first, it is impossible for the Chinese Army to continue to advance westward, and moreover, a series of actions of the Soviet Union in recent times have also aroused the vigilance of the General Staff, and the Soviet ambassador to China also submitted a diplomatic memorandum to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs yesterday, reminding the Chinese government of the "potential interests" of the Soviet Union in the Middle East and that the Soviet government does not want Chinese troops to enter the Middle East.

Zhao Bei was even more adamant in his analysis, on the Iranian issue, the Soviet Union and Britain reached a behind-the-scenes deal, Britain may give up some of its interests in Iran in exchange for Soviet cooperation, and use the Soviet Union to contain China.

The situation is very complicated, Zhao Bei is trying to sort out a clear idea from the thousands of things, after some serious consideration, he decided to temporarily shrink the offensive line, first deal with the British army entrenched in the southern part of India, as for the European side, at present, there is only one step at a time.

Zhao Bei sat at his desk, sipping coffee, reading the newspaper, and soon the hour hand of the alarm clock pointed to half past eleven, and at this time, the person he had been waiting for for a long time finally rushed to the presidential palace from Nanyuan Air Base, this person was not Chinese, but a European, and it was Tian Jinfu, director of the Military Intelligence Bureau, who sent him over, followed by a Russian translator.

"Yoshihito, is this Colonel Bo*f?"

Zhao Bei first sat down on the sofa in the corner, motioned for Tian Jinfu and the Soviet colonel to sit down opposite, and instructed the secretary to bring hot tea, and then looked at the Soviet defected officer in civilian clothes.

"Hello, Mr. President, I am Po*v, an officer in the political department of the Red Army of the USSR with the rank of colonel. I hope to be able to obtain asylum in your country or in the Far Eastern Republic, I must not go back to the Soviet Union, they are already eyeing me, Beria's lackeys, they want to use me to kill the commander of the military district, and then kill me too, I can't let them succeed. ”

The Soviet colonel introduced himself, and the interpreter translated these words, which was considered to confirm his identity.

The Soviet officer defected from the Caucasus Military District of the Soviet Union to a small Central Asian country, was immediately handed over to the Chinese military intelligence agency there, and then returned to the Central Asian Military District, five days earlier.

This person did not have a high military rank and was not prominent, but when he fled to Central Asia, he carried with him a batch of documents, which contained things that the Military Intelligence Bureau was very interested in, so Zhao Bei gave an order, and the Central Asian Military Region sent a special plane to send this Soviet officer to Beijing with his family.

Zhao Bei asked some about the inside of the Soviet Union, and Bo*v answered them one by one, and then Zhao Bei asked the question he was most concerned about.

"You said that the Soviet army was about to invade Iran, and my government was very concerned about this matter, I wonder what else you have to say to me other than those documents you brought?"

Bo*v was a little frightened, he thought that Tian Jinfu would take him to meet a big man, but he really didn't expect that the person who wanted to see him was actually the president of China, which made him a little unbelievable, after all, he was just a small Soviet colonel, and even the commander of the military district might not be interested in him in peacetime.

"This ...... The information I was able to access was basically the information in those documents, and I did not know the rest of the information, but one thing is for sure, since last month, a large number of armored units and aviation units have been stationed in the Caucasus Military District, and the military exercises have not yet arrived, which can also prove that Stalin really wanted to take military action against Iran. ”

According to his memory, in "history", before the outbreak of World War II, the Soviet Union had fought a "winter war" with Finland, although he could not remember the specific time, but one thing is certain, that is, when Nazi Germany was preparing for war, the Soviets were not idle, and the Soviet Union was also preparing for strategic defense.

Now, with no movement on the Finnish side and the Soviet government's sudden troop build-up in the Caucasus Military District near Iran's northern border, the truth may be revealed if you add to the backroom dealings between Britain and the Soviet Union.

Obviously, due to Zhao Bei's intervention in history, Britain not only formed a military alliance with the Soviet Union in advance, but also shifted the focus of strategic attention from the north to the south, and the British government obviously intended to use the Soviet Union to drive a wedge in the Middle East and use the Soviet Union to contain China and prevent China's penetration into the Middle East.

But the question is, does the British government really have the courage to surrender Iranian interests to the Soviet Union? You know, a large part of Britain's oil supply now depends on Iran and Iraq, and what does losing Iran's oil fields mean for Britain?

"Yoshihito, you and Colonel Po*v carefully study the current strategy of the Soviet Union, and after that, you change the status of the colonel and his family, and then send them to the Far Eastern Republic, and give them a sum of money so that they can live a stable life."

Zhao Bei reined in his thoughts, admonished Tian Jinfu, and then called a secretary and instructed the secretary to send Bo*v and his family to the Ministry of Internal Affairs for resettlement.

"The Soviet Union is going to attack Iran, I don't know how the center will respond?" Tian Jinfu asked.

Zhao Bei walked back to the map of West Asia hanging on the wall, looked at the map, and said: "Respond to all changes with the same, the British government wants to muddy the waters, let it be muddy, as long as we fight steadily, the Soviet Union is not a threat at all, don't forget, Germany is still in Central Europe, and the Soviet Union's rebellion has seriously affected the combat effectiveness of the troops, with the current morale and equipment of the Soviet Red Army, even if it can occupy the entire territory of Iran, I am afraid it will be impossible to maintain its rule, when the time comes, A guerrilla war on the Iranian plateau awaited the Soviet Union. ”

Speaking of this, Zhao Bei turned around, looked at Tian Jinfu, and then mentioned another matter.

"Your MIA has been very successful in its operations in India, dismantling the leadership base of India's unity, and now the democratic organizations across India are scattered and no one has enough prestige to unite them. The situation in the South Asian subcontinent is different from that in South-East Asia, where there are very different races, ethnicities, customs, religions, traditions, cultures, and so on, and we can achieve the goal of divide and rule if we take advantage of this. ”

"Please rest assured that South Asia is currently the focus of the Military Intelligence Agency."

Tian Jinfu nodded, and then gave a detailed introduction to the progress of the work of the Military Intelligence Agency in South Asia, he also knew very well that although Zhao Bei was waving the banner of "liberating Asia", the real purpose was to control the situation in Asia through various means, and now India and Bangladesh have declared "independence", but Zhao Bei does not want to see the establishment of a unified South Asian country, which is not in line with China's interests, so the "Indian Confederation" may only be a transitional product, and Zhao Bei's ultimate goal is to bring "India" The word has reverted back to a geographical term, and in order to achieve this goal, the military intelligence must do something, and now Tian Jinfu has developed a series of plans of action, including one that uses religious beliefs to create conflict and one that uses the caste system to create hatred.

In other words, when the British forces retreat, the political map of South Asia is likely to be violently shaken, and the culprit of this shock should obviously be Britain, because it is Britain's long-term colonial rule that makes the contradictions between local ethnic groups and races unable to be resolved.

These plans are very insidious, but this is the need of national interests, in the face of the struggle between countries, there is no morality to talk about, this point, Zhao Bei and Tian Jinfu are very clear, Britain, France, the United States, the Soviet Union, the heads of these countries are also very clear.
