Chapter 719: Sprouting (4)

Fang Rui followed Yue Peng's side, looking at Trotsky's back with a gloomy gaze, which made Yang Qiu secretly amused and deliberately patted him: "You are now the Minister of Northwest Military Administration, don't be suspicious." ”

Fang Rui smiled innocently, and then remembered that he was no longer engaged in intelligence. Seeing this, Yue Peng also smiled beside him and asked, "What?" He still hesitated? It's a good opportunity to go back now, and to properly support the civil war in the Soviet Union. ”

"This guy is also a human spirit, and he doesn't want us to take advantage of it." Yang Qiu glanced at Trotsky, who was walking away. I invited him to try to see if I could persuade him to return to China, because now Stalin was in the midst of a purge, and as long as he appeared on Soviet soil, those who were afraid of being purged would definitely turn to him, and if they provided some equipment and funds to help the civil war start. But this guy obviously didn't want to let himself succeed, so he used "don't go back now" to excuse himself.

"This guy is cunning enough. Knowing that we must be the ones who will benefit from a dozen civil wars, we prefer to temporarily relinquish power. Fang Rui secretly grinded his teeth, but he was helpless, he couldn't tie him up, let alone let him use the country as a base to oppose Stalin.

"Forget it, since he doesn't want to, it's worthless, and when Stalin does something to him, he will know how to cry." Yang Qiu waved his hand, not wanting to dwell on this issue, for him, the strategic layout had been preliminarily completed, and now he was waiting for the opportunity to close. So he changed the topic and turned his attention back to domestic construction, asking: "Fang Rui, how is the matter of ore substitution?" Steel mills can't afford to shut down. The inland is too far away, and the northwest construction is counting on these factories. ”

"Don't worry, the president can rest assured, when the Bureau of Land and Resources came to the northwest to investigate a few years ago, several iron mines have been found, and the early excavation and mine construction have started for a long time, and iron ore can be provided to several factories in the northwest at any time." Fang Rui, the minister of military management, finally found the feeling of role reversal, and introduced the situation of mineral deposits and industrial development in Northwest China in detail.

Although he has been busy with strategic deployment in the past two years, Yang Qiu has never relaxed on domestic construction and development, so he listened carefully to the report and put forward suggestions such as speeding up light industry, energy, electric power and urban construction in the northwest. Knowing that Fang Rui and several provincial governors had a plan, he turned his head and asked Yue Peng: "By the way, what are you looking for me?" ”

"There is news from Moscow."

"Oh? Qin Jian has news? Yang Qiu hurriedly asked, he now wanted to know most if Qin Jian was still alive.

"It's not his, it's Stalin's." Yue Peng shook his head and handed over the telegram sent by Song Ziqing to Yang Qiu. Fang Rui "habitually" entered the role of intelligence again, and introduced Moscow's large-scale expansion of troops and military spending.

Yang Qiu was not interested in Stalin's expansion of troops, this was an inevitable choice, and it was possible to increase the number of troops by one million in exchange for his own estimates. He was most worried about Qin Jian now, and it had been a month since the agreed joint time, which made him very worried, and asked, "Hasn't it been connected to Istanbul yet?" ”

Yue Peng shook his head: "There is no news. It's a bit of a strange thing, we've used some of our connections in the Soviet Union, but so far we haven't seen anyone and haven't gotten any news of arrests and killings, not even from his parents-in-law in Estonia. Judging by the recent efforts of Stalin's purge of the troops and intelligence services around him, it does not look like he was secretly arrested. I suspect now that Qin Jian probably didn't plan to go to Turkey at all. ”

Yang Qiu had actually vaguely guessed why Qin Jian had changed his hexagram, and now Yue Peng's words had strengthened this idea, and even Fang Rui, who knew Qin Jian's identity, had secretly guessed it, and said, "I know Qin Jian, as long as he makes up his mind, he will not change for decades. I think he probably wanted to make the most of his value, so he deliberately played psychological warfare with Stalin. Judging from the current situation, as long as he does not show up for a day, the suspicious Stalin will suspect that there are assassins arranged by him around him, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to live in peace in this life. Therefore, he will never go to a place where there are people now, and would rather die in the deep mountains and old forests and disappear forever than reveal his identity to make Stalin peaceful. ”

Yue Peng agreed with Fang Rui's speculation, and also said: "He lied to us, didn't contact us, didn't let us make a move, it should be all this idea." I used to read a book on psychology when I was studying in Germany, and now that I think about it, after 23 years of incubation, I am afraid that he also brought some mental illness. So he won't trust anyone now, not even us, because he's afraid that we have Soviet spies inside and expose our true identity. Now all we can do is wait until he thinks it's safe to show up. It could be months, years, or there will never be another person like this in the world! ”

"You're right, now we can only wait for him to come out on his own." Yang Qiu sighed, feeling that he was blocked by something, and even his eyes were wet. Qin Jian's fate is no longer beyond his control, as Yue Peng said, after 23 years of lurking, he is actually not a normal person physically and psychologically. Whether it is persistent or extreme, his current thinking is that he would rather disappear forever than let Stalin be peaceful, let alone reveal his identity as a Chinese, so no one can find him unless he shows his face.

The three of them were silent, Qin Jian's fate could only depend on God's arrangement, and even a tough person like Yue Peng sighed in his heart. Seeing that Yang Qiu was in a bad mood, he changed the topic and said, "By the way, there is one more thing." Wang Chonghui sent a telegram back from New York saying that Roosevelt had stepped up his activities and met with representatives of the Philippine Congress on several occasions. He believes that the US Congress is likely to pass the Philippine Independence Act in the next few days! The Philippine side also received reliable information that Roosevelt had promised to give the Philippines certain guarantees in the area of immigration, and also promised that the United States would assume the responsibility of protection after independence. In addition, Guam may no longer be given to the Philippines, and there will be no more plans to sell development rights. ”

"Hehe, it's really shocking that thunder, insects and snakes are in the sky, and even Roosevelt has come to join in the fun." Fang Rui interjected.

Yang Qiu frowned. It has not been a day or two since the United States clamored for Philippine independence, and the last time it was not passed was because the Philippines believed that the United States discriminated against itself in immigration, so it gave up independence, and now Roosevelt promised to give preferential treatment, so independence must be at hand. As for Guam, he has some regrets, originally his idea was to buy the development rights through a third party to get it first, or return it to the Philippines and then find a way, but now these ideas are a bit naΓ―ve.

Philippine independence means that there will be a small vacuum in the South China Sea, and Roosevelt will definitely push the Philippines to join the League of Nations afterwards, which cuts off the possibility of Britain and France filling it. China and Japan will certainly benefit from the independence of the Philippines, but it is also China and Japan that have the most tense relations, after all, neither side wants their opponents to gain a firm foothold in the Philippines.

He can let Japan go south, and even occupy the Philippines for a short time, but it is impossible to let go of a Philippines that is completely controlled by Japan, so it is time to move the Philippines and ask, "Have you chosen a good person?"

Yue Peng had already discussed with him the matter after the independence of the Philippines, as long as Japan entered the south, then the National Defense Force would have to support its own strength to delay and consume even if it did not intervene, so he immediately replied: "Zhuang Qingyun, the eldest son of Zhuang Meisheng, president of the Borneo Free Trade Zone Business Association, is currently the head of the Marine Corps, and we are ready to let him retire and go to the Philippines." In terms of assistants, Wu Rui and Xiao Jinyun both recommended Huang Yufei, who sent Japanese planes and naval guns, to help him. ”

"Okay, you can watch the arrangement." Yang Qiu's mood was really not high, so he just advised: "It doesn't matter if it's hidden or not, Japan and the United States will definitely know that we arranged it." The focus is to contact the Filipino locals, support a few spokespeople who are committed to us as much as possible, and if possible, send the good seedlings to study in domestic universities and military academies. You discuss with Shi Xiaolou and transfer some people from his training camp to help. Although Roosevelt used a temporary retreat to make room for us and Japan to create conflicts, he will definitely return to the South China Sea in the future, so we must elect our proxies! As long as there are people, it is a big deal that in the future we will fight a proxy civil war with the United States in the Philippines!

Also, let Wu Rui and Xiao Jinyun pay attention to the trends in Japan. After the Philippine Independence Act is passed, it will certainly encourage the Nanyang independence movement, and it is very likely that Sukarno and others will make a comeback. Nagata Tieshan has already gone to East Timor to serve as the commander of the garrison, this person is not simple, he will definitely not miss this opportunity, and he may take the opportunity to win over Sukarno, pretend to be a good person to help them take the opportunity to stick their legs in. ”

"Don't worry, the president, I have already explained this matter." After so many years, Yue Peng has long gone beyond the vision pattern of the European war and has become a real pillar of the country. Yang Qiu was also very pleased, and said: "After the arrangement, you can prepare yourself, I will arrange for you to visit Germany in the near future." It's time for Hitler's side to get in touch with each other, and when you go, try to create the illusion that we are ready to join hands with Germany to attack the Soviet Union on two fronts, so as to make Stalin even more nervous. But be careful! There must be no substantive contact with Germany! I'm still not optimistic about them. ”

In the past, Yue Peng definitely didn't understand why Yang Qiu always didn't want to form an alliance with Germany, it stands to reason that China and Germany are natural allies, until Cai Yi left a posthumous manuscript, and after Yang Qiu and Jiang Fangzhen worked together to compile it, he understood that the future war must be a confrontation of the country's comprehensive strength! Although Germany has a strong industry, excellent workers and strong technical capabilities, it also has obvious disadvantages. First of all, the geographical environment is not good, not to mention the lack of resources, it is still a place of four wars. The worst thing was that the German navy no longer had the majesty of the European war, and it was impossible to break through the British blockade without a strong navy.

According to his analysis, if an alliance is really formed, it is true that the line from India to Bulgaria can be quickly controlled, but the probability of wanting to fight well is very low, after all, this is an intercontinental expedition for both countries. It is simply impossible to defend such a long front in the face of a breakthrough by Britain and France, and even the Soviet Union and the United States. As long as there is a slight negligence, it will be the collapse of the whole situation, and the result will be that Germany will defeat China and take on the world alone. Even if he is hailed as one of the top ten players in the world at the moment, he does not want this situation to happen.

"Let's go, go see Trotsky and take a picture by the way, maybe this will be the last time we will see a living man." Yang Qiu smiled, put aside his worries and walked in the direction Trotsky left...... (To be continued.) Wonderful Novel [Net] Remember our website:
