The first target plane, Yan'an Foreign Guest Hotel, Shaanxi. The whole foreign guest hotel is not large, but there are a lot of special sè. The architectural style of the entire foreign guest hotel is not the mainstream architectural style of fair-faced cement buildings in later generations, but the villas of Duli, with a construction area of about 240 to 300 square meters. The reason for choosing a single house is that in addition to facilitating the privacy required by foreign delegations, the Yanhuanghong Party border area also has its own considerations: if visiting groups from various countries live on different floors of the same cement building, it is very convenient to visit each other and spread messages, and it is difficult to stop them. The use of single-family houses, supplemented by sentry posts arranged in the name of security, can cause considerable inconvenience to their communication, so as to achieve the purpose of proper isolation.

In addition, since the Stars and Stripes and the Soviet representatives happened to arrive at the same time, the intelligence and analytical departments of the Red Party, after discussion, finally decided to place them in two villas arranged diagonally, with flagpoles in front of each villa, and to raise their flags after the delegation moved in. The national flag fluttering in the northwest wind was very conspicuous, and soon, Vasilevsky, the head of the Soviet delegation, and Kohl, the special envoy of the president of the Stars and Stripes, both discovered the existence of each other, and for a time an undercurrent of tension began to arise and spread in the foreign guest hotel.

Inside the villa where the Soviet Union stayed.

Because it is a three-storey villa, the layout of the first floor is a large living room, a large dining room, a wine table, a private small meeting room, a large bathroom, and a simple kitchen, which is convenient for residents to use to cook their own favorite exclusive food, of course, if it is too troublesome, you can also directly inform the hotel attendant to provide food delivery service.

The second floor upstairs is the standard room for the general staff to stay, two people in a room, with reference to the layout of the four-star hotel in the future, two comfortable single beds, bedside tables, small desks are complete, because the target plane has no TV, so the TV cabinet is canceled, but the line pipe in the wall is retained, which is convenient for the hotel equipment upgrade in the future. Except for a duli bed and a larger usable area of the house, the other furniture and equipment on the top floor are basically the same as those on the second floor.

"Everyone has worked hard all the way, and our meeting with the Yanhuanghong Party is scheduled for the afternoon, so we can take a rest on our own now." After all, Vasilevsky was one of the top decision-makers in the Soviet Union, and he had lived in many luxurious royal castles left over from the Tsarist era, so he was not too surprised by the accommodation conditions here, but just lightly commanded.

"Yes!"

Inside the Stars and Stripes Villa.

"I didn't expect the Russians to come!" Roosevelt's presidential envoy, His Excellency Cole, muttered to himself as he stared at the Soviet flag fluttering in the wind on the flagpole opposite.

"Did we leak the news?" Nero, one of Cole's main aides, speculated.

"It's hard to say, at the afternoon meeting, we will take the opportunity to do something, tentatively ask the Yanhuanghong Party, and find out the purpose of the Soviet visit."

"Yes!" Nero nodded.

"Mr. Snow?" When Cole saw his assistant leave his side, he took the initiative to walk up to reporter Snow.

"Yes, Your Excellency."

"From now on, you can ziyou activities, try to contact the top leaders of the Yanhuanghong Party in a private capacity, and visit old friends." Cole suggested.

"I will, thank you for the reminder, I think it's time for me to go, go out for a walk~~" Snow nodded and left after signaling that he understood.

"Be careful on the road!"

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye it was 2 o'clock in the afternoon, and in two conference rooms in different buildings in the border area of the Yanhuanghong, the Yanhuanghong, and the Yanhuanghong, the two bilateral meetings of the Yanhuanghong Party and the Stars and Stripes Banner were officially opened.

Conference Room I, USSR.

"Comrade Vasilevsky, welcome to the northwest of Yanhuang and come to us as a guest." Due to Vasilevsky's high status in the Soviet Union, Zhou Eni made a direct appearance here to attend the reception.

"Comrade Zhou Eni, thank you for your warm reception, Comrade Stalin asked me to convey his deep greetings to you, Comrade Mao Zedong, and the entire Yanhuanghong Party." Vasilevsky replied politely.

……

After about five minutes of polite conversations, Vasilevsky began to talk about the purpose and theme of the visit.

"Because we are now in the most critical moment of the Great Patriotic War, I very much hope that your party can send 100~2 million troops to join in and win the final victory of the world anti-fascist battle together."

"Cough~~" Zhou Eni exchanged coughing for a few seconds of thinking time, and then organized the language to speak: "First of all, we are very indignant about the criminal war of the German fascist invasion of the Soviet Union, and resolutely support the great patriotic war of the Soviet people. Secondly, I also hope that the big brother of the Soviet Union will understand that because of the small territory and weak military strength of our Yanhuanghong Party in the early days, and because we have just recovered the entire territory of Northeast China, North China, and Korea, our already overstretched troops have become even more scattered, and now we can maintain law and order in major cities and vast rural areas, and that there are still many remnants of Japanese soldiers and bandits and bullies in emerging localities in many places, and we really cannot draw up surplus troops. ”

"So what do you mean by your party, that you can't send any troops?" Vasilevsky's assistant, hearing Zhou Eni's reply, saw that his boss frowned, and asked at the right time.

"That's right," Teng Daiyuan, chief of the General Staff of the Red Party Army, who was sitting next to Zhou Eni, answered after hearing the questions of the other personnel on the other side, "Our principle must be to support the Great Patriotic War of the Soviet Union to the greatest extent possible, and there is no doubt about this. Based on the resources we have at hand, our plan is to overcome all difficulties, raise war readiness materials, and provide support in terms of military equipment and logistical materials, but it is ......"

"Is there any difficulty?" Vasilevsky couldn't help but feel relieved when he heard that there were the most urgently needed war supplies at the front.

"Due to the destruction and armed expulsion of the Dong army in Yankou Pass, a large number of skilled workers in the northeast of Yanhuang have fled their homes, making many factories in the northeast unable to start smoothly or understarting, coupled with our lack of mechanical experts, we cannot repair all kinds of equipment in the factory in a timely and smooth manner, so we cannot use the production capacity as much as possible to produce the most urgently needed materials on the front line." Teng Daiyuan explained.

"So what do you mean?"

"We hope that the big brother of the Soviet Union can send at least 50,000 skilled factory technicians and mechanical technical experts to Yanhuang to guide our workers in their work, so as to restore the production order of the military factories in the northeast as soon as possible, and we have estimated that if these people can arrive smoothly, we can produce and provide the Soviet Union with 500,000 rifles (the 38 big covers, which are actually the trophies of the Northeast counteroffensive campaign), 2,000 artillery pieces of various calibers (also trophies), and a large number of bullets, grenades and shells." Teng Daiyuan said the "quotation" prepared by the Yanhuanghong Party in exchange for the arrival of Soviet experts and technicians.

"500,000 rifles and 2,000 guns of all calibers?" Vasilevsky did not easily refuse, but began to think about the pros and cons.

On the Soviet-German battlefield of the first target plane, due to Wang Fan's wanton intervention for nearly a year, the losses of the Soviet army far exceeded the original history of the main plane, and this loss included both soldiers and a large number of weapons and equipment. In addition, due to the attack on the rear by the Dong Army of the Japanese Kou Pass and the sharp shortage of male workers caused by a large number of conscriptions, the production capacity of the logistics base on which it relied was also nearly 30% less than that of the main plane, and it was no longer possible to guarantee 100% the normal supply and consumption of the Soviet troops on the front line. Objectively speaking, this list of the Yanhuanghong Party is very tempting! It is quite cost-effective to exchange tens of thousands of workers for hundreds of thousands of army equipment that can be put into use immediately. After all, in addition to personnel, the production of weapons and equipment also requires a large supply of raw materials and the cooperation of affiliated processing plants, which require several times or even more than ten times the number of workers in the weapons production line to ensure supply.

"Can't you add some more, I observe that the city of Yan'an has abundant material reserves." Another deputy of Vasilevsky interjected.

"This is really a pity, because of the rapid expansion of the Guangfu Zone, the factories here have been somewhat out of supply, and now we have transferred most of the finished products to the Northeast and North China, and Yan'an has been unable to make ends meet, completely relying on the past inventory support."

"In this case, can the number of people required by your party be less, after all, every time one more worker comes, the production capacity of our rear base will be weakened a little."

Slowly, the whole conference room began to enter a tug-of-war of bargaining like a vegetable market, and had to take a temporary break because of the deadlock in the plan, until the evening of the next day, when three sets of plans were finally decided: one was to keep the original number of expert technicians and the total number of exchanged materials unchanged; the other is to increase the number of people to 70,000, corresponding to 700,000 guns and 3,000 artillery pieces; The third is a reduction plan, which only comes with 30,000 people, but the support materials are also reduced to 300,000 rifles and 1,250 artillery pieces. And no matter which set of plans, to support the supply of shells and bullets in the future, it is necessary for the Soviet Union and the Northwest Bank of the Yanhuang Red Party to sign a loan agreement, which is calculated in merit coins, and the accounts are recorded first, and then the general accounts are calculated together after the victory of the Soviet Union in the Great Patriotic War (in the Korean War, many of the aircraft and artillery and other equipment obtained by Yanhuang were also bought from the Soviet Union, and all of them were consumed on the Korean battlefield, and in the end, in addition to owing a butt of foreign debts, not too many benefits were left, of course, the free aid given by the Soviet Union must have it, but it was by no means the mainstream at that time).

The second conference room, on the side of the Republic of the Stars and Stripes, was received by Ji Pengfei, who was in charge of foreign affairs of the Yanhuanghong Party, due to the low level of Cole, and after a guest and host:

"So, your country wants to build airfields in the northeast of our country and in North Korea to deploy heavy bombers to bomb the Japanese mainland?" Ji Pengfei asked in surprise.

"Yes. At the present stage, we and your party share a common enemy, the Japanese Invaders, and I believe that we have the possibility and foundation for in-depth military cooperation. Cole said with a smile.

"I need to ask my party zhèngfu about this, I hope you can understand." Ji Pengfei explained.

"Of course, of course!"

In the evening, Yan'an Zaoyuan small hall.

"Looking at it this way, Lao Maozi shouldn't have much of a problem there, it's just a matter of the number of exchange technicians and experts." Lao Mao smoked a cigarette and commented.

"It should be, my first impression after contact with Vasilevsky was that they urgently needed a lot of supplies." Zhou Eni nodded in agreement.

"So all that's left is the plan proposed by the Stars and Stripes Republic, do you really let them in? Will it expose a lot of the secrets of our party? Liu Shaoqi hesitated.

"Wang Fan, what do you think?" Lao Mao asked Wang Fan.

"Huh? Me? To be honest, this is a state-to-state negotiation, and I'm afraid that the plan I have in mind is not fully considered. Wang Fan was a little unsure whether his psychological ideas were correct and feasible.

"It's okay, everyone talks, put their opinions together, and learn from each other's strengths!" Zhou Eni encouraged.

"Okay, then I'll give you my opinion." Wang Fan snuffed out the cigarette in his hand and began to speak: "If you want me to say, agree with it!" Why? Because we need a lot of talent to develop ourselves, but now the whole world is at war, and the good people are running to the Stars and Stripes Republic. Even if we are tied up, we can only bring in some well-known scientists, and it is difficult to achieve the majority of middle-level technicians. As for secrecy, my suggestion is that the reason for establishing an air base in Korea is easy to find, because it is the closest to the Japanese and the bombing is the best. At the same time, the Stars and Stripes were required that the planes first land in Qinghai or Shaanxi, send our own people up, and then transfer to North Korea. In addition, it is not allowed to fly with bombs, all 250 kg, 500 kg aerial bombs must be bought from us, they pay dollars. ”

"Dollars? What do you want that for? Liu Shaoqi was a little surprised.

"My plan is that we sell bombs to supply and get dollar bills. At the same time, the Republic of Stars and Stripes is required to send 5,000~8,000 experts and professors to work in Yanhuang, including no less than 1,000 doctors and nurses; 1,000 instructors of the Air Force and ground crew; 1,000 instructors of various types of navy and maintenance; 1,000 lecturers and professors from science and engineering universities to solve the problem of a large-scale shortage of instructors in our navy and air force, and a serious shortage of professionals in the health system. As for the university lecturers and professors, they play the role of enlighteners of our students' science and engineering research, and when our students have a preliminary knowledge structure through their teaching, they will secretly learn all kinds of advanced knowledge that I have brought, otherwise it is very difficult and slow to rely on them to learn by themselves. ”

"You mean that the USSR solved the problem of enlightenment for our workers, and the Star-Spangled Banner solved the problem of enlightenment for our scientific research." Lao Mao concluded.

"Well, almost, that's the idea."

"If the secrecy work is done in place, it is feasible, at this stage we have come up with the equipment and technology that already exists in this era, but the construction speed is too fast, but this can also be explained by the large population and the great power of the past." Liu Shaoqi nodded.

"If that's the case, I have one more suggestion." Zhou Eni answered.

"What's the suggestion, Enlai?"

"We can also negotiate with the Republic of the Stars and Stripes to send our party's propagandists in their countries to persuade overseas Chinese who are adrift abroad to return to China to work."

"Yes, that's a good idea!" When Liu Shaoqi heard it, he slapped his thigh and applauded.

For a while, under Wang Fan's hugging of bricks and jade, everyone in the house used their brains to think about how to introduce the most lacking talent problem in Yanhuang.
