-- Moscow, Soviet Union

Stalin looked at the information in front of him in shock, and asked in disbelief: "Have you determined the source of the information?" Is it really from Sorge? ”

Beria nodded and said, "It's confirmed, it's true." ”

Stalin reads: "Operational Plan No. 8? Concentrate eighteen to twenty-four divisions based in Manchuria to wage a full-scale war against the USSR? It was a plan that a madman could only come up with, in combination with Japan's recent closeness to Germany. It is not difficult to draw conclusions. Japan was preparing to join Germany in attacking the Soviet Union. ”

Beria said admiringly: "Comrade Stalin, your opinion is correct, what should we do?" The results of Zhang Gufeng's battle tell us that the combat effectiveness of the Japanese army is not weak, and there is still a large amount of residual poison in our troops that has not been cleaned up. ”

Beria knew very well that Stalin's purge plan was not over, and if he demanded a halt to the purge at this time on the grounds of preparing for war, he would be the one who would be unlucky in the end.

Sure enough, Stalin took a puff of his cigarette, banged on his pipe and said, "You are quite right. The weakening of our Red Army is precisely due to the fact that our comrades do not have a correct understanding of the suppression, but our military equipment also needs to be further updated, and the Soviet Union needs iron and blood to defend it. ”

Beria smiled and said, "This Comrade Stalin, you can rest assured, according to intelligence, Japan now has no more than 1,000 combat vehicles, and we now have more than 10,000, and our number of aircraft and artillery is also absolutely superior, under our steel torrent, as long as there is a good general, our army will annihilate the Japanese army to the Far East." ”

Speaking of this, Stalin could not help laughing, from the first five-year plan in 1928 to today's ten years, he built this agricultural Soviet Union into a steel Soviet Union. An armored force of more than 10,000 tanks is his biggest capital. It is also an important reason why he unscrupulously dared to carry out a rebellion in the army, and he has so much military strength. And not afraid of the attack of any side, yes, on the one hand.

-- Yan'an

Jiang Cheng came to Yan'an with machinery and equipment and materials, and learned that Chairman Mao was in a meeting, so he went home to have a look.

Before I got home, I heard a shouting sound in the yard. The corners of Jiang Cheng's mouth curved, and when he walked in, he saw that it was Wang Yong and Li Qian who were practicing their moves.

"The owner." "The owner is back." The two saw Jiang Cheng hurriedly stopped, and said to Jiang Cheng with a fist.

Jiang Cheng beckoned and asked, "Are the others all back?" ”

Li Qian nodded and said, "It's all back, we have kept our manpower in the northeast, and the recent news that their training is normal, and the anti-alliance on the other side has also attacked Japan a few times with our anti-alliance alliance." ”

Jiang Cheng touched his chin and nodded, it's not time for the northeast yet, let's let them grow up slowly.

"Brother Cheng. You're back? Yu Yishan walked in from outside, but changed into a military uniform and wore a red cross logo tied to her arm.

"Yishan, what's wrong with you? If you don't want to be a teacher, are you going to become a doctor? Jiang Cheng smiled and circled around Yu Yishan and asked.

"Brother Cheng, don't laugh at me. Recently, the military medical school opened, and I felt that I couldn't throw away what I had learned before, so I signed up, but they were too simple. It's not as deep as the book you gave me. Yu Yishan scratched her head and said, "I don't know if it's because our doctors in Yan'an are not of high quality or what." ”

Jiang Cheng said helplessly, "Those teachers are learning and teaching some simple knowledge in my books, and you are looking at some more complex theories." A lot of it is purely theoretical, so don't just show it off. ”

Yu Yishan stuck out her tongue and said, "Of course, by the way, you haven't eaten yet, let's go eat quickly." ”

At this time, Xiao Wang ran over and said, "203." Chairman Mao knows that you are coming, and he will let you go there as soon as the opening is over. ”

Yu Yishan suddenly pouted, and hurriedly took out two glasses of water from the room and said, "Don't worry, Brother Cheng, you drink saliva first." Xiao Wang. You take a sip too and then it's not too late to go. ”

Jiang Cheng took a sip and put down the water and said, "Li Qian, you come with me, don't let the chairman wait for a long time." Xiao Wang, let's go. ”

Xiao Wang drank the water, wiped his mouth and said, "Let's go." ”

Chairman Mao saw Jiang Cheng, hurriedly welcomed Jiang Cheng into the room, sat down and said, "Xiao Jiang, I am in such a hurry to find you for a few things, first, Wuhan has now begun a large-scale retreat, you know, there are immortal people over there, and I can't intervene, but I remember that you said that the retreat of Wuhan left a lot of things for Japan, I hope you can think of a way, the other is that Germany's attitude towards us has changed, and now Hitler has recognized Manchukuo, I think I still want you to go, After all, many of us are still in Germany. ”

Jiang Cheng rolled his eyes and said, "Wuhan is still retreating in a relatively timely manner, the last time I went, I knew that the Nationalist Government had already retreated, and Jiang had the intention of letting me assist ******, I think I can use ****** to burn Wuhan's supplies, as for Germany, the chairman can rest assured, Hitler has not made up his mind to break off diplomatic relations, and we have interests with them, I will go to it." ”

Chairman Mao nodded and said, "If that's the case, it's best." ”

After Jiang Cheng came out, he immediately issued an order, "Li Qian, you, Wei Guo, and Wang Yong will immediately go to Wuhan with the troops to wait for me." ”

Li Qian's eyes lit up and said, "Obey, owner." ”

-- Ganzhou, Jiangxi

On a construction site, Zhang Yaruo wiped his sweat as if no one was there, he touched Zhang Yaruo's hand and smiled, looked at the hot construction site and shouted, "Let's work harder, we will start eating immediately." After speaking, he said to Xu Junhu next to him, "You did a good job, I'll wait to go to the barracks, and I want you to keep an eye on it here." ”

Since he was in charge of the Youth League, due to his special identity and honest political image, he has attracted a large number of like-minded talents, including Xu Junhu, Xu Jiyuan, Shen Chuanfan, Wang Jichun, Cao Yiping, and others at times.

Wang Sheng came over at this time and said, "Jianfeng, Weihua has sent news that their owner has brought you a letter. ”

When he heard this, he immediately rejoiced, "Show it to me." ”

When I opened it, I saw that it said, "Brother Jianfeng." Seeing the letter, my brother was anxious to learn that the Japanese army had arrived at the gateway to Wuhan, and he was overjoyed to learn that the chairman of the committee had a far-sighted view and had ordered the retreat of Wuhan supplies and personnel. But think about it, Shanghai's material wealth is not extinct in March, why is today's Wuhan not the Shanghai of the past, it takes a month? Two months? March? Can the Japanese army spend time with me? The only way to do this is to clear the wilderness with strong walls, and once the Japanese army breaks through the pass, destroy the city and burn the goods, so as to prevent the Japanese army from achieving the goal of fighting and supporting the war. However, this matter is very important, and I hope that my brother can help my brother, and my brother will wait for good news overseas. ”

I didn't expect Jiang Cheng to be so bold, and he actually thought of the idea of burning Wuhan materials, but after thinking about it, he felt that this was indeed a good idea, otherwise these materials were not cheap to the Japanese, ****** immediately wanted to send a telegram to Jiang Mediation, but stopped. Isn't it clear that the national army will lose, and now the military and the people of the whole country are in urgent need of morale. My identity is special, so it's better not to speak out casually.

After thinking about it, he said, "Wang Sheng, you take some people to Wuhan, listen to Mr. Jiang's arrangement when the time comes, and report to me in time if there is any situation." ”

Wang Sheng immediately said: "Jianfeng, don't worry. I set off immediately. ”

-- Germany

Jiang Cheng stood on the roof of the building overlooking Berlin, and the swastikan flag and eagle sign fluttering everywhere were announcing to everyone who was the master here.

"The hosts, now it is only Hitler who announced the recognition of Manchukuo in his speech, but there are no further anti-Chinese actions, and the people are very quiet. So we feel that this is just a small trick by Germany, in response to Japan's move. Chen Nan bent down and said.

"Actually, I don't care if Germany wants to abandon our China, after all, Germany is doing nothing now except mediation, not even shipping guns to China, and the weapons we buy are all shipped by ourselves, otherwise, we will not be able to reach China at all." Jiang Cheng sniffed the coffee from 1938 and said, "What is the problem of Czechoslovakia now?" ”

Chen Nan replied, "Hitler has already made a speech in support of the just cause of the German nation in the Sudetenland, and now the atmosphere is very tense, and it is said that there have been large-scale riots in the Sudetenland. ”

Jiang Cheng snorted and said, "Blackmail is about to start, arrange it, I want to see Benes, in addition, let the wind go, Germany wants not the Sudetenland, but the whole of Czechoslovakia, I want the whole of Europe to know this." ”

Chen Nan couldn't help but say with some hesitation: "Once this is known by the Germans, will it be unfavorable to us?" ”

Jiang Cheng smiled and said, "Chen Nan, you have to remember that we and the Germans are using each other, and now that the Germans are not polite to us, we will return it, I have never had the idea of forming an alliance with Germany to the end, okay, let's do it." Also, when public opinion is rising, I have a letter here, and you can pass it on to Goering, saying that it is something that can change public opinion, and in addition, give Goering more gifts, and he will accept it. ”

After Chen Nan just used other people's mouths to tell this fact, which was actually speculated by many people, newspapers throughout Europe reprinted it, and even imagined a timetable for Germany's annexation of Czechoslovakia. Jiang Cheng couldn't help but be amazed by the imagination of European journalists, and there are really many similarities between this timeline and history.

"Bastard, bastard, who's it? Who is making a big deal about the annexation of Czechoslovakia? Hitler slapped the table and exclaimed, "This is a blatant leak, and now Britain and France are sending me notes questioning whether we are acting for the Sudetenland or Czechoslovakia." I can only say Sudetenland, of course, but it is certain that Britain and France have become suspicious of us, which is extremely detrimental to us. ”

Himmler wiped the sweat from his head and said, "We have found the source, it is several Jewish newspapers, and it is unknown where they got the news." ”

Hitler slapped the table and shouted, "Now it's not a question of the source, well, those Jews should be hanged, now the question is Czechoslovakia, how are we going to get there." ”

After saying that, Hitler circled around the hall, and kept saying words that no one could understand, and only stopped for a long time to say, "Immediately hold a press conference to announce our position again, and then go to contact Britain and France to emphasize our dislike of the Soviet Union." ”

At this moment, Goering knocked on the door, walked in, handed a letter to Hitler, and said, "My Führer, this is the Chinese ginger that I asked me to give you, saying that it can help us get through this difficult time." ”

Hitler took the letter suspiciously, opened it and glanced at it a few times, and said with a laugh, "Great, timely, this information is really good." ”

Goering looked at Hitler with some embarrassment and said, "My Führer, that Chinese Jiang deliberately said that this information is not fake, and he can guarantee that all the data in it is accurate at more than ninety percent." ”

After hearing this, Hitler's face immediately turned blue and asked, "You said that this information is all true?" ”

Goering nodded a little frightened and said, "I don't know what this information is, I received it and hurried over to show it to the Führer, I don't know it myself." ”

Hitler opened the piece of paper and said, "This is a piece of information that records the military strength of the Soviet Union, which says that the Soviet Union has more than 4 million people in the army, more than 1 million people in the navy and air force, more than 10,000 tanks and 10,000 aircraft, more than 30,000 guns of 50 mm caliber, and the Soviet Union has a large number of reserve forces. ”

After speaking, not only Hitler, but even Goering and Himmler's faces turned pale, although they knew that the Soviet Union was very strong, but they did not expect it to be so terrifying. At this time, Germany's military strength was less than 1.5 million, and its military equipment such as tanks and airplanes was even less than half that of the Soviet Union.

"Himmler, check, we must find out the authenticity of this data, if it is true, our strategy must be greatly changed." Hitler said in a deep voice.

"Yes, my Führer." Himmler saluted.

Goering hesitated for a moment and said, "Führer, I think why don't we first sign a non-aggression pact with the Soviet Union?" ”

Hitler rolled his eyes and said, "Yes, go and contact Moscow immediately, we Germany are willing to keep peace with the Soviet Union, but this agreement must be signed in top secret, and we can't let Britain and France know." By the way, what about the ginger? He gave us this information, didn't he want to say anything? ”

Goering scratched his bald head and said, "I asked him, he said he was going to Czechoslovakia, it is said that he has a lot of business there, and he has some doubts about the change of our policy towards China, my Führer, I think we should distinguish Jiang from the Chinese Nationalist Government, you can see that Jiang's ability is definitely not comparable to that Nationalist Government, and we should make Jiang our friend." ”

Hitler looked at Goering, who kept saying good things for Jiang Cheng, and was a little confused, but still asked trustingly, "Then do you have any ideas?" ”

Goering immediately said, "That's right, since Jiang has a lot of business in Czechoslovakia, we will guarantee that his business can be protected by us, what do you say, Himmler?" ”

As soon as Himmler saw that Goering frowned and made eyes, he knew that eighty percent of the benefits he had received from Jiang Cheng were known by this dead fat man, Himmler did not dare to move, but said, "My Führer, I think what Goering said makes sense, Jiang is indeed an indispensable partner of our Third Reich." ”

Hitler took the paper and looked at it a few more times and said, "Well, if this information is true, he is indeed entitled to our special treatment, and tell him that whatever his interests in Czechoslovakia, we in the Third Reich will protect him." (To be continued.) )
