Although Malenkov knew that the two pilots probably did not tell the truth, they could only express their admiration for the creativity of the Chinese on the surface, Chairman Mao and Zhou Guansheng smiled at each other, did not say anything, and continued: "Comrade Malenkov, we are going to arrange for you to visit some shops and banks in our countryside and Yan'an in the afternoon. ”

After listening to the translator's words, Malenkov nodded and said, "I think this arrangement is very good, but I am more interested in your factories, especially heavy industry, I heard that our Chinese Red Party has recovered Shanxi, there should be steel factories and arsenals, right?" The USSR had a lot of experience in the construction of heavy industry, and I think this can help you. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Chairman Mao nodded and said, "Of course, the achievements of the Soviet Union's heavy industry are the world's attention, but those heavy industry factories are relatively far away, so let's go and see them tomorrow." ”

- Late at night

Malenkov opened his diary, slowly turned his pen, and began to record his day in shock.

"August 3rd, sunny, Yan'an, China, today I came to Yan'an, a small city in northwest China, the core of the Chinese Red Party, I took a plane from Xinjiang, and when I was in the sky, I was still thinking about what would surprise me in a small city in such a backward country? But I only looked forward to it for less than half an hour, and a few Chinese Red Party planes opened my eyes, it was a model that I had never seen before, obviously, in the lunch afterwards, I asked the leaders of the Chinese Red Party leaders, and they asked the pilot to introduce it, and the pilot said that the plane was designed and assembled by their patriots abroad, which must be a lie, but unfortunately I have no evidence....

I met the leader of the Chinese Red Party, M, he was a tall man, although he was dressed like a peasant, but he spoke with great wisdom, he showed me respect on the surface, but from the plane I knew that they did not welcome me very much, a leader of the Red Party actually did not welcome the representatives of the Red International, it was a joke ... It's a pity that this joke is a reality, I think it's because during the war against Japan, their national consciousness awakened and they think that the nation is more important than class, which is extremely wrong! I'm going to have to find a way to correct their mistakes! But their mistakes don't stop there, I'll talk about that later.

After noon, they and I went to the bank, which they called Guanghua Store, but I knew that it was a bank, and it was just a step backwards made by the Chongqing government not allowing them to open a bank. They also showed us their glorious coupons, which were very well made, and there was a kind of security mark on them that I had never seen before, and I specifically asked them, and these currencies of theirs have not been counterfeited, which is a miracle! The stability of the currency has made their economy stable, and according to them, this currency has become the strongest currency in the areas controlled by the Red Party, even surpassing the yen and the ocean, and speaking of the ocean, it is said that the currency of the Chongqing government has depreciated seven or eight times since the beginning of the war.

After looking at the bank, at my request, we went to their largest market together, this place is called the border trade center, there are a lot of goods in it, but I don't know if this is a performance, at least on the surface the trade is very prosperous, the most surprising thing is that many of the people who come to trade are from the Japanese-occupied areas, according to their introduction, it is said that because of the stability of prices in the border area and the more materials in the border area, so there are even Japanese businessmen to do business in the border area, which is simply incredible.

What impressed me the most today was to see one of their so-called elections, it was a village election, each of the elected objects will say some of their own policies, here and we in the Soviet Union, there are also labor divisions, but they are more hoping to establish a joint venture to establish a small factory, this is the process of transformation from the peasant class to the working class, but unfortunately, in Yan'an, the vast majority of the Red Party members are from the peasant class, including Mao, but fortunately, Mao told me that the main group of people in China are peasants, so Ge Ming must rely on the peasants, but I think this is wrong, and I must report it to Comrade Stalin, and Comrade Stalin will judge it.

Finally, we went to see their army, it was one of their garrison troops, all the weapons were Japanese-style 38 big covers, it was said that they were captured from the Japanese army, I took a look, it was indeed all Japanese equipment, and the name of the original owner was engraved on it, in the garrison I also saw the Japanese, it is said that they were absorbed, they were very satisfied with the life in Yan'an, and expressed dissatisfaction with the atrocities of the Japanese army, thinking that the Japanese army was a machine that made the good Japanese bad.

At the end of the day, I will go to Taiyuan tomorrow, where I can see their arsenal and steel factory, they originally wanted me to see Yan'an, but I know that Taiyuan is the largest heavy industrial city in the hands of the Chinese Red Party, and from this point I can see the disloyalty of the Chinese Red Party to the Red International, and I will definitely find out what is the problem of the Chinese Red Party! ”

After Malenkov finished writing his diary, he sighed and looked outside, while in the cave, Chairman Mao, Zhou Guansheng, Jiang Cheng and others were talking about him.

"This Malenkov, it's really not easy to deal with, ask and ask, even the equipment of the garrison has been repeatedly checked, but fortunately we are all prepared and hide some weapons that should not appear." Zhou Guansheng said with some palpitations.

Chairman Mao snorted: "Didn't you see how ugly his expression was when I said that we in China need to rely on our peasants? I don't think he will leave if he doesn't find out some problems, and we have to let him see our tanks, otherwise he will definitely ask to go to Suiyuan when he sees that there are no tanks in Taiyuan, Suiyuan has just finished the war, and construction is going on everywhere, and a lot of advanced machinery and equipment and weapons are over there, and it will not be easy to hide it over there. ”

Jiang Cheng said with a smile, "Fortunately, he chose to go to the steel factory and arsenal in Taiyuan, there is a foundation over there, he saw advanced things, and it is easier for us to explain, if you come to our Shaanxi arsenal and steel factory, and see our self-made family business, there will be doubts, by the way, chairman, how do you know that he will definitely choose Taiyuan?" ”

Chairman Mao said confidently, "Malenkov is here to find problems and make credit, of course he will go to look for the big one, okay, we are all tired today, tomorrow Xiao Jiang and Guansheng will go to Taiyuan together, Xiao Jiang will pretend to be Guansheng's guard." ”

Jiang Cheng hummed and agreed.

On the other side, several Soviet soldiers walked into Malenkov's room, and Malenkov saw several people and asked, "How is it?" ”

The leader of those people took the letter and said to Malenkov: "We went to find those people according to the list, some of those people are no longer in Yan'an, some have died in battle, and only two people are willing to contact us, this is what they have provided us." ”

Malenkov opened it and looked at it, and the more he looked at it, the more surprised he became, and said in his mouth, "Okay, this is a great achievement, this is extremely important for this mission, you have worked hard, go down and rest." ”

Several people retreated, and Malenkov squinted, not knowing what he was thinking.

In Chairman Mao's room, Li Kenong also took a list and handed it to Chairman Mao and said, "This is a list of people who have asked and looked for those people, most of whom have the experience of staying in the Soviet Union, but only the first two people who really contacted them, and there was no response from the back." ”

Chairman Mao nodded and said, "These two people have a lot of information in their hands, it seems that tomorrow's inspection will not be as simple as today." ”

The next day, under the cover of fighter jets, Malenkov, Zhou Guansheng and others flew to Taiyuan together, where Yan Xishan, Peng Dehuai and others had already arrived at the airport to prepare to meet them.

Yan Xishan looked at Peng Dehuai's appearance, pulled Zuo Quan and asked, "Why do you see that Mr. Peng is unhappy, isn't it your Red International who is coming this time?" ”

Zuo Quan knew that he wanted Yan Xishan's full cooperation this time, so he said in a low voice: "The purpose of the Red International this time is to find trouble for us, although we are not afraid of what they say, but after all, there is really a conflict, it will have a great impact.... How so? Some of our equipment, as you know, came from Germany, and there was still some friction between the Soviet Union and Germany. Chairman Yan, I hope you can help me a lot this time, so that it would be best if these Soviets could leave as soon as possible. ”

Yan Xishan is an old fox, he knows the way of weighing best, although the Soviet Union and Germany are an alliance in the eyes of outsiders, but in Yan Xishan's eyes, it is a temporary helpless move, and sooner or later he will turn his face, so when he heard that the Chinese Red Party had received German aid, he immediately understood, patted the **** and said, "Don't worry, I know what to say and what not to say, I have long been displeased with these Soviet big noses, see how I make him as uncomfortable as eating a fly!" ”

Zuo Quan smiled, and at this time the plane landed, Zuo Quan looked at Malenkov with a vigilant face and Jiang Cheng with a thief face, and suddenly felt the bottom of his heart, and the others stepped forward to shake hands with Malenkov and say hello.

Malenkov looked at Peng Dehuai, who had a stinky face, and said with a smile, "This is General Peng, right?" When I was in the Soviet Union, I heard the name of the general, saying that you were the first general of the Chinese Red Party. ”

Peng Dehuai said with a straight face, "The first general of our Chinese Red Party is our Commander Zhu, I can't take my turn, besides, fighting a war is a soldier's life, I am just an ordinary commander and fighter." ”

Malenkov's hot face touched his cold ass, and when he saw Zuo Quan next to him, he smiled and said, "Oh, General Zuo, hello, we haven't seen each other for a long time, I really hope you can go back to Moscow and work with us." ”

Zuo Quan nodded and said, "I am very nostalgic for my time in Moscow, but I like the feeling of being able to defend my family and country here." ”

Malenkov snorted and said, "You're right, soldier! ”

Zhou Guansheng saw that several people were talking about the same, so he said, "We are here this time to visit the military factory and the steel factory, and this is Mr. Yan Xishan, chairman of our Shanxi Anti-Japanese Coalition Government. ”

Yan Xishan said with a smile: "Comrade Malenkov has worked hard from afar, I hope I can get some advanced experience from you, you know, we have no heavy industry in China, if we can have your support, our development will be much faster, this time Malenkov must have prepared a lot of aid projects, right?" Do you want to see a steel mill? Is it that they are ready to help our steel equipment? Also look at our arsenal, in fact, the production speed of our arsenal is very slow, if you can, I think it would be good for our comrades in the Soviet Union to give us weapons and equipment directly. After all, is it a war, this production equipment or something, can it be provided in two days, they all say that it is the big brother of the Soviet Union, and today I only know that this big brother is not called in vain! ”

Yan Xishan's serial words made the translator tired and half dead, and also made Malenkov stunned, and said in his mouth, "This aid.... Aid? What assistance? Didn't I say that we, the Soviet Union, were going to give you aid? ”

Yan Xishan said with a look of understanding, "I know, the Soviet Union should pay attention to international influence, we will never leak your aid, okay, okay, let's go and see our steel plant first, and wait for our factory director to say what we lack now." ”

Malenkov wanted to say something more, only to see Zhou Guansheng shake his hand with a grateful expression, and the others also turned to leave, only to sigh a few times, feeling extremely aggrieved in his heart.

——Taiyuan Iron and Steel Plant

Malenkov looked at the high blast furnace and the converter that was coming out of red molten steel, and only felt that his heart was greatly impacted, although such a steel plant was nothing in the Soviet Union, but compared to the information he had obtained before, it was simply heaven and earth, especially when he saw the construction site next to it, he knew that this steel plant was still under construction.

Malenkov pointed to the blast furnace and other equipment and asked, "Where did all this equipment come from?" I think it's all extremely advanced equipment! ”

Yan Xishan said with a straight face, "I have only managed Shanxi for a few years, and I have made some achievements, these are all established by me at that time, it is not easy, I only dared to drink a pot of vinegar a day!" Comrade Malenkov, you Soviet Union must come to our aid, do you see? The open space over there is what we know you are coming, specially prepared overnight, and is waiting for your equipment. When will your equipment arrive? I want everything here! ”

Malenkov waved his hand and shouted, "I'm not here to help!!" I... Chairman Yan, I'm here to investigate! Inspect!! ”

Yan Xishan shrugged his shoulders and said, "But isn't the purpose of your visit this time to better assist our resistance against Japan?" Since you are inspecting steel plants, you are naturally preparing to assist steel production equipment, right? Why else are you here? Isn't it? ”

Malenkov swallowed, not knowing what to say, who told him to come for such a reason.

At this time, Malenkov saw a group of workers coming from a distance, saw them and quickly turned around and wanted to leave, Malenkov's eyes were good, clearly saw that those people were not Chinese, and immediately shouted "Quick!" Call those workers, I want to talk to them! (To be continued.) )
