The economic crisis that broke out in the United States plunged the world into a panic, and China, the United States, Britain, and France either closed imports or raised tariffs, raising trade barriers one after another, and Japan and Germany suffered serious losses due to market narrowing. When people look around and find that the Soviet Union is an economic event because of its nationalization, Moscow is in ecstasy. Imperialism is over! "The Expansion of the Capitalist Crisis", "Resolutely Support the Spirit of Nationalization of the Great Chairman Comrade Stalin", "The First Five-Year Plan is Forging Ahead...... The god-making movement in Moscow came one after another, especially after the expulsion of Tonotsky, and the Kremlin began to intensify its leadership propaganda. Originally, the collective farms and the total nationalization made many Soviet economists and businessmen secretly dissatisfied, but when the news of the outbreak of the economic crisis came, and the Soviet Union became an isolated island to avoid the crisis Chapter 643 and grab the machine together, these people did not dare to speak out! So after the economic crisis, Stalin's mood became much better, and he came to the office early every day with a pipe in his mouth.

Ever since he learned of the crisis in the United States, an inexplicable euphoria hung over him and Moscow. Newspapers and radio stations reported daily unfavorable news about the unemployment rate in the capitalist countries, the number of people living in extreme poverty, and so on, in order to convey the benefits of nationalization and the wisdom of the great leaders.

In response to this trend, the Kremlin's weekly economic meeting has also been made an exception to twice a week. "Sit down, Comrade Kuibyshev." In Stalin's spacious office, after banging on his pipe to sit down Kuibyshev, he asked: "I heard that the economic crisis in the United States is beginning to spread, and even China is involved, is that true?" ”

"Yes, Comrade General Secretary. China has not been able to escape the crisis, and Yang Qiu and his Beijing government have even had to freeze foreign capital and sell state-owned enterprises to recoup funds. Judging by some indications, billions of state assets have been sold to black-hearted capitalists. "Kuibyshev was the chairman of the USSR Council of National Economy, responsible for the construction of the economy of the whole Soviet Union. After the start of the first five-year plan, it was he who first proposed the idea of exchanging grain and oil for machinery, which was firmly supported by Stalin. But Chapter 643 grabbed the machine together He didn't study economics, so after learning about China's large-scale sale of state-owned factories. One-sidedly understood it as Yang Qiu could not hold on, and he had to survive by selling off state-owned assets.

Stalin also did not understand economics, so this "good news" made him happy. Especially in the Afghan war, which won the face and lost the Lizi, the national strength of China and the Soviet Union was completely exposed. After the gap in military equipment, he regarded China as the number one enemy, and not only strengthened the construction of the air force and developed similar bombers, but also demanded that weapons and equipment be strengthened and began to be equipped with a large number of new weapons and equipment, including T26 tanks. Now that guy who was invincible for the first 19 years has finally hit a wall, what could be more gratifying? As soon as he saw the vanished "land" on the wall, Stalin itched his teeth.

"Comrade Kuibyshev, at the last meeting it was decided that more machines should be purchased while the crisis of capitalism was being struck. When are you going to do this? Halfway through the first five-year plan, it is necessary to refuel the plan. ”

Stalin was very interested in picking up bargains, and Kuibyshev was also enthusiastic, saying: "Comrade General Secretary, judging by the speed of deepening of the crisis, this summer will reach a low point. At that time, many factories in the United States would sell machinery and equipment to survive in debt, which could save a lot of money. ”

Summer? Stalin frowned, took two deep puffs of his pipe and suddenly sank his face: "Comrade Kuibyshev! What are you thinking? Comrade Molotov already said this at the last meeting. Intelligence has confirmed that Yang Qiu will visit the United States after becoming president, and it will be summer in the summer, do you want to wait for them to collude? ”

Kuibyshev did not expect that Stalin, who had been elated just now, would suddenly turn his face, and he could not afford to be charged with collusion with China. He hurriedly said: "Comrade General Secretary, Yang Qiu's visit to the United States may briefly stimulate the American economy, but it is impossible to really save it, on the contrary, the Americans are now looking forward to his visit to bring large orders, if we start now, the price will be much higher, and we can't buy the best ...... We can't take any chances! Who can guarantee that Yang Qiu will not reach an agreement with the United States to stop selling machines to us? Don't give the enemy the slightest chance! Stalin roared, the Eastern Front was not dominant, and the Afghan quagmire was like a needle piercing his heart, so he was afraid of being calculated by Yang Qiu again.

Kuibyshev was covered in a cold sweat, nodded again and again, and immediately discussed with Motorov about visiting the United States to purchase machinery. But he muttered secretly in his heart. The U.S. economy is already in deep trouble, and it can't be saved without tens of billions of dollars, and even if Yang Qiu can bring hundreds of millions of orders, it doesn't matter, after all, China's own manufacturing industry also needs a market, and too many imports will make the country's economic crisis more serious. So the best opportunity is to buy after Yang Qiu's visit to the United States, and the United States is disappointed with the total number of orders. The Americans would have welcomed the USSR more, and the American capitalists, who are now doing evil, will certainly take the opportunity to raise prices.

However, he did not dare to change Stalin's order, and after immediately saying that he would immediately go to the United States to purchase goods, he continued to ask: "Comrade General Secretary, what should we do about Japan?" They want to raise import quotas. ”

Stalin looked down on a small country like Japan in his heart, but the thorn in the Chinese side forced him to encircle the other side, and after thinking about it, he said: "Now that the price of oil is very low, I will provide them with some in this regard." ”

"Okay." After understanding Stalin's intentions, Kuibyshev hurriedly got up and prepared to go to Motolov to discuss the purchase of his visit to the United States, but before he could go out, the latter had already walked in: "Comrade General Secretary, I have just received a telegram that the Chinese side has invited our country to attend the presidential inauguration ceremony and the military parade on May 5, and hopes to hold talks on the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries. ”

"Humph!" The news did not make Stalin happy, but snorted coldly from his nose and said with disdain: "None of these are good things in the capitalist countries, they want to establish diplomatic relations with us and save them with our market if they cannot solve the economic crisis themselves!" ”

"Comrade General Secretary has a far-sighted vision and sees through the enemy's conspiracy at a glance, so what should we do?" Motolov's slapping of the sycophants made Kuibyshev almost want to throw up. Stalin, however, liked it, threw the telegram back and said: "You and Egorov go to the meeting, this is a good opportunity for us to understand the military strength of the enemy." Motolov nodded, walked out of the office with Kuibyshev, and before leaving, he saw Stalin walking through the crack in the door to the map, his fingers slowly swiping over Afghanistan and Turkestan, a scene that secretly reminded the two men that they must conform to the general secretary's thoughts on China in the future.

After the door was completely closed, Kuibyshev remembered Stalin's request to immediately go to the United States for the purchase of machinery: "Comrade Motorov, the General Secretary asked for the purchase of machines from the United States in advance. What do you think? ”

As soon as Motorov heard that it was Stalin's request, he immediately changed the words that came to his lips: "The general secretary's consideration is very comprehensive, although the capitalist country is in trouble, we must also guard against it." So be it. You go to the United States first, and when I finish attending the Chinese presidential ceremony and military parade, I will immediately go to the United States to meet you. ”

"Okay." Kuibyshev smiled and nodded, but when he walked away, he quietly spat out: "Phew, sycophant." ”

Moscow was worried that Yang Qiu's visit to the United States would lead to a change in the situation, and the news of the machinery and equipment that had been purchased in the United States earlier than history was soon sent to Beijing. pinched his eyebrows and secretly laughed: "This thorn in Afghanistan is really deep enough, even I am worried about going to the United States." ”

Yue Peng smiled: "It's not deep." Don't you know that Zhang Zhidan is now more effective than the most famous local imams, and more than 100,000 guerrillas are all using our weapons and ammunition, and 30 tons of gold and silver have been brought back last month alone. The Amanullah government was already in danger and had to turn to the Soviet Union for help, and by the end of last month, another Soviet division had entered Kabul, bringing the number of Soviet troops in Afghanistan to more than 60,000. Yesterday I said if I want to exert my strength and take a few bites. ”

Song Ziqing also laughed and said, "It's not time to exert your strength yet." It's not too late to wait for the Saudi family to become independent, which just makes Britain nervous. However, I don't think it makes sense for the Soviets to pick up the bargain, and we should send a telegram to Pei Zuyi to say that we have considered restarting Sino-US trade and raising prices. ”

"Don't just stare at price hikes, but also tell Bei Zuyi that if the time is almost right, let's do it. Grab technology and talents first, and give up all low-end machinery and equipment, mainly focusing on motorized machine tools and complete sets of automatic production lines. High-end precision machine tools should pay more attention. There are also those who told him that whenever the Soviet Union likes it, they will bid for competition, and it will be disgusting if it is useless...... Seeing that the two of them were smiling and calculating the Soviet Union, and completely taking money and making a mess of money, Yang Qiu was speechless, and changed the topic and asked: "What has happened recently between the Muslim League and India?" ”

"Britain is very pressed. Therefore, after a few fights between the Muslim League and the Congress Party, they temporarily stopped, but there have been more and more clashes between the two communities, and sporadic exchanges have continued. Song Ziqing said: "In the short term, the Muslim League and the Congress Party are still very worried about the UK, and a complete civil war is unlikely, at most it is necessary to maintain this kind of local skirmish, but if the balance of the regional situation is suddenly broken, it is difficult to say." ”

"Then it depends on whether Japan will go south to help us break this equilibrium!" Yue Peng blinked deliberately and smiled at Yang Qiu: "I hope Yongtian Tieshan will not live up to the commander's hard work." ”

"As far as you have a lot of thoughts, I didn't say that I wanted Japan to go south." Yang Qiu glared at him.

Song Ziqing also laughed. Since there were only three people in the study, he was not afraid that outsiders would know the secret, and said: "Japan has no way out." After we closed the market, the USSR turned around and began to purchase European and American machines, and foreign trade was all over! I was thinking that Nagata Tetsuyama should already know in his heart that there are only two ways for Japan to go. Either the Second Sino-Japanese War, or go south to poke this hornet's nest! However, I am very worried, even if we acquiesce, with the current state of the Japanese army, I am afraid that the chances of winning the southward movement are not very good. ”

"Japan's current national strength and technological level are in the weakest stage, although the navy has built a bunch of heavy cruisers, but the battleships have been stagnant for many years due to naval treaties, and it is difficult to say whether they dare to bet." Yue Peng was also worried. Although everyone hopes to see Japan go south and completely pierce the window paper of the South Seas, they are still uncertain whether Japan will do it and when.

The worst thing is that everyone can't directly say to the Japanese government, "I support you if you go south", and they have to give each other confidence through some kind of diplomatic and policy hints, so the two are worried. Yang Qiu also understood this truth, put down his pen without hurrying, raised his head and swept slightly: "Don't worry, will you go south to see the results of this year's naval negotiations." If Japan withdraws from the treaty, it will show that they have made up their minds, and they may wish to give some encouragement at that time. ”

What kind of encouragement can accelerate Japan's southward expansion? Is it possible to provide hundreds of millions of loans? When the two were pondering what to give to Japan, which would not hurt themselves but could enhance Japan's ambitions, Yang Qiu had already said the answer: "I asked Haohui to open an aircraft factory in Taiwan and began to develop a 550-horsepower monoplane fighter, using light steel skeleton canvas skin, and the technology is good." If Japan withdraws from the naval negotiations, you should be prepared to catch spies. ”

If Japan can be provided with a few good aircraft, it can stimulate the ambition to go south, but Song Ziqing is a little worried that this will enhance Japan's aviation strength, after all, the world has been seriously studying the importance of air supremacy after the war in Afghanistan. Yang Qiu had thought about this kind of worry before, until KC-1 appeared, and he changed his mentality.

Sending a P26 toy gun to Japan will affect Japan's future aviation design thinking? Yang Qiu closed the file, looked at the watch, and it was almost time to get off work, picked up his clothes and said, "Let's go, call Wenjing, Guofu and Yang Du, and I will invite everyone to have a drink today." ”

Song Ziqing and Yue Peng were surprised at first, but soon understood why Yang Qiu would leave work so early today and take the initiative to treat him. Because tomorrow is Election Day, for which he has been waiting for 19 years...... rs！！！
