Pei Zuyi is very busy now, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as not touching the ground with his feet.

In the blink of an eye, it was already September, and seeing that the international situation was likely to change dramatically in the near future, the burden on his shoulders as a finance minister was much heavier. Military spending, material hoarding, army expansion, and so on all need to be started immediately and as soon as possible, and the Ministry of Defense has made phone calls three times a day to inquire about the state of reserves. The worst thing is that since the country has not yet entered a state of emergency, it is necessary for him to maintain as much balance as possible in economic construction and armaments, and not to harm the fundamentals of the economy.

An arms race without harming the national economy? This requires the utmost care to fine-tune the economy and gradually guide its transition to a wartime economy.

Of course, if the war does not break out after the transition to a combat-ready economy, it will really vomit blood.

"Minister, someone outside is looking for you, saying it's your old friend."

"If you don't have time, you can't go and bring the financial statements of the northwest last year." Bei Zuyi, who was buried in the pile of documents, didn't raise his head, and waved his hand to drive the secretary away. The secretary scratched his head, and he didn't know what happened recently, and the work pressure increased several times more than usual, which led to a lot of anger in various departments. However, he still dutifully added: "Minister, it's an old British man, he said his name is Jacob, it's Standard Chartered Bank."

"Wait, what's it called?"

"Jacob."

"Is that him?" The familiar name made Bei Zuyi stop his work suddenly, waved his hand and asked the secretary to bring people in, but he secretly muttered in his heart: "What is he doing here?" I don't seem to have anything to do with him lately, is it because of that? ”

When Bei Zuyi secretly wondered, Jacob, who was invited, also followed the secretary all the way with his steps, which made all the staff who saw it secretly strange. How urgent should it be? In order to make this little old man run so fast!

Jacob still has the heart to pay attention to demeanor, he is really anxious now. If it weren't for Yang Qiu's leisurely "vacation" in Europe, he would even have the idea of going straight to the presidential palace. With the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War, the living conditions of the Jews in the world suddenly deteriorated, first Hitler continued to issue threats to the entire Jewish nation, and recently openly spread rumors that the Jews supported the Soviet Union and were GC elements, so that even Britain, France, and the United States began to restrict the activities of Jews. Yang Qiu visited Germany again at this sensitive time, and if China and Germany really came together as commented by the outside world, I am afraid that the 3,000 officers who had been trained with great difficulty would not even be able to return home.

You know, for him, who has always been committed to the Zionist movement, 3,000 non-commissioned officers and students are the lifeblood of these people! But Yang Qiu refused to fulfill the secret agreement afterwards, delayed the detention of people, and now he frequently shows favor in Germany, God knows if he will suddenly regret it. But now the whole world is restricting the Jewish people, and even the freest United States, because Roosevelt is secretive about this matter and constantly suppresses the influence of Jewish conglomerates in the political arena, so there is no one to help. This worldwide anti-Semitic campaign has left them helpless as members of the Restoration Movement, not to mention that China is no longer a country in financial chaos before the silver crisis, and with measures such as national independence and strict financial regulation, there is not much opportunity to blackmail them.

Of course, he had one last resort, which was to tell the Arabs about China's training of Jewish non-commissioned officers, but how effective was this trick when there was no direct evidence at hand? He can't say for sure, not to mention that he doesn't want to really tear his face with a strong country.

With all this in mind, he had to come to the Ministry of Finance on the grounds of economic matters. It's not because he is very familiar with Pei Zuyi, but that the old group of people back then basically left the political arena, and they could only find Minister Pei, who had a few connections back then.

"Mr. Jacob, why are you here? Have a seat. ”

"Thank you, Mr. Minister, I am sorry that I am here now, and I ask for your bearing." Because he often comes to China, Jacob can also speak a few words of Chinese, and is also familiar with some etiquette of Chinese officialdom, so he took out a box of superb Cuban cigars from his bag and put it on the table.

Pei Zuyi is not greedy for money, but the best Cuban cigar is a little moved, and after accepting it with a smile, he asked, "You are too polite."

Is Mr. Rothschild okay? If you need my help, even though I have to listen to the above, I can still open one or two more branches and offices. ”

Do I need to open a branch in person? You China is not a country like the Soviet Union that completely closed its financial market, and you just need to go through the formal procedures. Jacob's heart was dark, but his face was worried. Because the more enthusiastic Pei Zuyi was, the more he felt unsure, and after thinking about it, he still chose the most straightforward way and said: "Mr. Minister, I have come this time to meet the Prime Minister of your country, or His Excellency the Chief of the General Staff. ”

"That's it?" Pei Zuyi's eyes swept back and forth. Compared with ten years ago, Jacob in front of him is much older, his speech and movements are very slow, and he no longer has the momentum of manipulating world finance. However, he will not be soft-hearted, the Jewish group is still a headache for the economic departments of various countries, and before knowing the intention, he is cautious in his words: "Sir, the chief of the general staff is not in Beijing, and even I don't know his itinerary." Prime Minister's side one. In your capacity, you must not refuse, right? ”

Jacob knew that he was deliberately going around in circles, but to this day there is no one to ask for, and Bei Zuyi is probably one of the few lifesavers, so after thinking about it, he gritted his teeth and said: "Mr. Minister, as a big country of integrity, I hope that Mr. President will keep his promise back then and let the cadets who are studying in your country leave." Probably afraid of insincerity, he hurriedly made a condition without waiting for Pei Zuyi to speak: "Please tell Mr. President, as long as I can let them leave, I am willing to contribute one. One, no! Contribute $30 million to help build five universities in your country. ”

Six million dollars for a university, that's already a sky-high price! The total assets of Harvard University in the United States are only this number. So even Bei Zuyi was stunned, he didn't expect Jacob and the Zionist group behind him to be willing to spend so much money for just 3,000 military cadets.

But surprise to surprise, it's not so simple to release people, not to mention that this group of guys is now fat and oily, everyone wants to take a bite, just let them go back to Jerusalem, it is not in line with the current situation. Thinking of Yang Qiu's explanation before his visit, Bei Zuyi deliberately lowered his face: "Mr. Jacob, this matter is really beyond my ability. ”

Jacob was even more anxious, if Bei Zuyi didn't help, he really didn't know who to turn to. You must know that they have been patchwork together over the years, and the total number of officers is less than thirty, and all of them are the lowest-ranking officers in each ** team, and there are many Jewish officers in the Soviet Union, but there are many dead and wounded in Stalin's purges recently, and the rest dare not flee, which is comparable to the 3,000 elites who have been trained in China for more than ten years. So before they came out, everyone including Mr. Rothschild said that they would take them back even if they tried their best, and simply quoted a new price: "50 million dollars, we can pay in cash immediately!" ”

Bei Zuyi shook his hand: "Mr. Jacob, it's not a matter of money. I won't hide it from you, in fact, you should know that the current interests of our country in the Arab and Persian Gulf regions are not easy to come by, and they have been won back by a war of national fortunes that almost broke out, and the contradictions between you and the Arab nation Let them go back to Jerusalem, not to mention me, even the prime minister can't do it! ”

The contradictions between Jews and Arabs are irreconcilable, and of course Jacob knows it, otherwise he would have to do it with military officers and students, just take the money and smash it. The more serious the contradictions, the more necessary it is for a strong military to ensure statehood, as all Zionists know. But the problem is that this matter already involves China's national interests, not to mention that the Chinese government has invested billions of dollars in Saudi Arabia and maintains good relations with Iran, Turkey and other countries.

Jacob knew this, so he came up with a plan that had been prepared for a long time: "Minister, please rest assured that we will keep our promise and never leak it." In addition, we can guarantee that they will not be allowed to return to Jerusalem immediately. ”

"Not going back to Jerusalem? Mr. Jacob, are you kidding, do you want them to serve in other countries? No, it can't be! This would seriously reveal the secrecy of the training of officers in our country. Bei Zuyi slowly induced without a trace.

"Rest assured, we are a Jewish people who keep their promises." In order to convince the other party, Jacob did not care, and said the plan: "I am going to send them to Spain, and use the civil war as a cover, so that when the war is over, I can tell the outside world that they are officers who have been trained from the Spanish war, so that they can not only put aside their relationship with your country, but also keep other people's mouths shut." ”

"That's a good idea." Bei Zuyi nodded, his stomach almost bloomed with joy, but he didn't expect Jacob to think of going with the president. However, on the surface, he still muttered for a long time, deliberately took out his cigar and grinded it for a long time before he slammed it out: "Mr. Jacob, I can only try this matter." But I'm going to say that 50 million dollars is not enough, and we won't help you get people to Spain, and we have to get rid of it completely, not even the slightest possibility of leaking the news. ”

The corners of Jacob's mouth twitched, knowing that Yang Qiu had a big appetite, but he didn't expect to be greedy. Fortunately, the Jews lacked everything and did not lack money, so they were prepared to be blackmailed.

But before he could ask for the price, Bei Zuyi actually raised his finger again: "There is another thing, we happen to have a batch of surplus materials in our hands that we want to sell to the Spanish National Army, I don't know one." ”

"Leftovers?" Jacob frowned.

Bei Zuyi's face was not red and his heart was not beating, and he coughed twice: "Actually, it's nothing, it's just 50,000 submachine guns, light machine guns, grenadiers, cannons, mines, bullets, explosives and some tanks or something." You know, recently my country's construction has entered the first country, and there is a shortage of money for various projects, so I plan to sell a batch of arms for financing, but my country has declared neutrality, and I can't open my mouth to you, right? But rest assured, the gear has been processed so that no one can tell it's for sale. And the amount is not much, only about three or four hundred million dollars. ”

Three or four hundred million dollars?! Spain's total gold reserves are only about $800 million! One. Jacob was a little speechless, daring to let himself come forward to resell the arms!

In order to get back 3,000 non-commissioned officers, he endured it! Anyway, the Spanish National Army is seriously short of arms, and if you get it, you may be able to make some money. However, he couldn't swallow this breath in his heart, looked at Bei Zuyi for a long time, and said hatefully: "Mr. Minister, I can help you broker this deal, but we need to provide us with 48 tanks for free, and we need to train the soldiers who operate them." Of course, you don't need a new model from your country, just the French Renault FT2! Of course, we will also ship to Spain first. Take advantage of Civil War training. ”

"No problem." Pei Zuyi smiled lovely......
