"Aggressive."

The sound of a rushing motor sounded from the vast Changchun Automobile Factory, and a green military three-wheeled motorcycle sped in front of the outdoor parking pad. On the parking apron, 20,000 military ten-wheeled heavy trucks and 3,000 half-track trucks to be delivered together form a magnificent industrial phalanx. The motorcycle shuttled through the sea of cars and did not stop until it was stopped by soldiers of the Presidential Guard on an LZ33 wheeled armored car. "Where's the president?" Yan Baohang jumped out of the car, took out his documents and handed them to the soldiers.

As tensions have grown, he, the head of the Strategic Intelligence Service, has become a regular visitor to the president's side. In addition to him, ministers, military officers and heads of national projects who are usually busy with their own affairs have gradually gathered, and even the commander-in-chief of the 3010 project, Qiu Heng and Yu Dawei, the president's science and technology advisers, have recently returned to Beijing. Like a flock of young eagles released out, after honing their wings and claws with strong winds, the best group of people in the Republic of China are also regathering with the drumbeat of war.

In the distance of the soldier's finger, Su Xiaohu, the boss of the Changchun Industrial Group and a former lieutenant general of the National Defense Army, was briefing Yang Qiu, Minister of Industry and Commerce Liao Zhongkai, Minister of Defense Song Ziqing, and Jiang Fangzhen, military adviser to the president. From iron and steel metallurgy to marine steam turbines, from automobile manufacturing to instrumentation and electrical instruments, the Changchun Industrial Group, which was founded by Su Hongsheng and a group of old people from Hanyang, is now the largest private manufacturing consortium in the northern region. After Su Xiaohu retired and took over from his father, he actively promoted streamlining and standardization. Recruit a large number of technical personnel, and also use connections to actively explore the military market. Thanks to his efforts, the group's annual sales are now as high as 300 million yuan, and products such as Hanyang Jeep, Changchun heavy trucks, military instruments, generators and diesel engines have become the most important military equipment of the National Defense Force.

Although it is a pity to take off his military uniform, Yang Qiu is also happy for Su Xiaohu to be able to work hard to achieve today's grand scene, and Song Ziqing and Jiang Fangzhen next to him are even more affectionate and take the opportunity to catch up. "President, President!" The atmosphere was interrupted by shouts. When Yan Baohang hurriedly came, Su Xiaohu hurriedly took a few steps back. Today's identity is different. He could only watch Song Ziqing and the others gather around with envy.

"Report to the president, it's done! It's done! Yan Baohang's eyes flashed with a faint glint of excitement. At a time when the outside world is surging and the country is in turmoil, few people know that the intelligence services have long been active on every front. He pulled out a secret message from Moscow. It was handed over to Yang Qiu: "It has been determined that Stalin signed the Soviet-German Non-Aggression Pact and the Soviet-Japanese Treaty of Friendship and Cooperation with Germany and Japan respectively. ”

"Really!" Yang Qiu almost jumped up. These two treaties that made him wait and look forward to it, and his hair was about to turn gray, were too important for him and China! This means that the international pattern has gradually turned clear, and it also means that the strategy and goals of the Republic of China have gradually become clearer.

"Did you get the content? How are the forces divided? There are no secret agreements. Song Ziqing, who accompanied the inspection, grabbed two steps and almost bumped into Liao Zhongkai. But he can't take care of the gaffe, you must know that everyone is very anxious during this time. Because for the Republic of China, the alliance with Germany to fight the Soviet Union and the alliance with Britain and France to fight the Soviet Union are two completely different strategic and operational goals, and when the situation is unclear, even Yang Qiu has to pretend to be deaf and dumb. Adopt a non-aligned and no-talk strategy. He even did not hesitate to offend Britain to deliberately provoke Iran, induce Stalin to make a wrong judgment, and put himself in an awkward position. But now it's different! With these two treaties, it means that the four countries of Japan, Germany, the Soviet Union and Italy will be in a state of substantial alliance in the next two years, and the strategic judgment of these people has suddenly become clear and simple.

Of course. What he wanted to know most now was the content and details of the treaty. But it was difficult to get it by relying on Japanese and German intelligence agents, but Qin Jian's legacy was unimaginable, and as the Great Purge gradually ended, Beria began to rebuild the intelligence network. The new generation of dragon teeth that had been deliberately placed on the edge by Qin Jian had already entered the room. But unfortunately, due to the rush of time, the dragon's tooth has not been able to touch the content of the contract.

"Find a way! Be sure to find a way to get the full content of the treaty and find out if there is a secret treaty! Jiang Fangzhen was also very excited, as a second-class general in the reserve and a military adviser to the president, he knew very well what Yang Qiu's recent silence meant.

On the contrary, Yang Qiu calmed down immediately after being excited, because the two treaties that had not yet arrived were actually fueled by him behind his back. You must know that if you hadn't attacked Afghanistan in advance and pretended to go to Iran to make trouble, Stalin's forbearance would never have taken a risk. Now the showdown between Japan, Germany and the Soviet Union has undoubtedly given him a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! Stalin must have planned to eliminate the Iranian threat first, but as long as the Soviet army moved south, it would definitely clash head-on with the British! In this way, the opportunities for your choice will be much broader. So he quickly folded the telegram and put it in his pocket, and said to Liao Zhongkai: "Zhongkai, you go back to Beijing immediately, tell Wang Zhengting and Yue Peng, convene the cabinet and division-level officers, and hold a meeting as soon as I return." ”

Liao Zhongkai nodded, as a cabinet minister, although he is low-key, he is also a core personnel. However, he is a strange person, as a veteran figure in the Democratic Party who is on the same level as Wang Zhaoming, and has been serving in the Central Committee since Li Yuanhong's tenure, successively serving as a member of the National Assembly, Minister of Agriculture, Minister of Water Resources, and Minister of Industry and Commerce, but he is more similar to the National Society in terms of thinking and code of conduct, and has always believed that Yang Qiu's method of forcibly suppressing domestic contradictions, and then slowly cultivating democratic soil is better, plus he is low-key, even among ministers, his reputation is very small, so Yang Qiu and Chen Guofu originally planned to pull him into the National Society, but he always insisted on staying in the Democratic Party.

Seeing that he was leaving, Yang Qiu thought about it and said, "That's right." Let Yue Peng tell Mei Sheng that when the time is ripe, he will launch a full-scale offensive against Herat and other Soviet targets as soon as possible, put on a posture of eagerly opening up the Persian passage, and continue to put pressure on Stalin. After speaking, he twisted to Yan Baohang again: "Is Jin Bihui back?" Where is Nagata Iron Mountain? ”

"Nagata Tetsuyama is still in Berlin, and Dai Yunong told me this morning that Japanese Foreign Minister Yoyo Matsuoka also left for Germany yesterday. Ms. Kim was still in Berlin and said she had gotten the news. When Matsuoka arrives, Japan will sign an alliance agreement with Germany, so she plans to figure it out before coming back. Yan Baohang said: "However, all the materials she brought this time have been bought by Germany, with a total transaction amount of 370 million US dollars, and all the money has been transferred to our bank in Saudi Arabia, and it is expected to be transferred back to China in three months." She also exchanged back thirteen new material technologies such as Sikron. In addition, in order to obtain this batch of materials, Hitler also handed over to us a batch of equipment such as BF109 fighters and HE111 bombers that were exported to the Soviet Union. I think he should want to give us some sweetness, preferably to provoke us into a full-scale war with the Soviet Union. In order to free up their hands to deal with the Czechs and Britain and France. ”

"This girl has really grown up." Song Ziqing also watched Jin Bihui grow up, and after praising it, he continued to ask: "So, Germany really wants to attack the Czech Republic?" ”

"I don't know yet. But after the Sudetenland became self-sufficient, Hitler ordered the start of the build-up of troops to the Czech border. At present, the numbers of 12 German divisions have been found on the German-Czech border, including 10 infantry divisions, 1 mountain division and 1 armored division. The Czech government, not wanting to follow the example of Austria surrendering without a fight, had already begun a partial mobilization and asked for help from France and the Soviet Union, which were obliged to protect themselves. Judging from all indications, this troop transfer should have been premeditated, because after Germany annexed Austria, it had actually formed a flanking attack on the Czechs. In addition, Czechoslovakia is an industrial power in Central Europe, and its industrial output value is not much worse than that of the current Germany, much higher than that of Italy. The company Skoda is the second largest arms manufacturer in Europe. Now that the agreement with the Soviet Union has been reached, and there is no threat on the Eastern Front, it may not be necessary to take risks for this piece of fat. ”

"He's crazy? France and the Czech Republic also have a protection agreement! Even if the Soviet Union does not intervene, France cannot ignore this barrier and disappear, right? If France is involved, Britain will inevitably be involved. Judging by the strength and readiness. The German army currently has only thirty-four divisions, of which only ten are on the Western Front, close to France, and the combined strength of Britain and France is five times that of him! And the Siegfried Line was not repaired either, except for having a strong air force. The army and navy are inferior in equipment and quality, and they are not opponents at all. "The Sudetenland crisis has become more and more fierce recently, but Song Ziqing, like everyone else, never thought that Germany would really fight the Czechs. You must know that the Czech Republic not only has a strong industry, but also a good army. Even if the Soviet Union did not intervene, Britain and France would not be willing to watch the Czech Republic fall.

"He's not crazy, he's gambling! Bet that Chamberlain and Daladier would not have thought that he had reached a secret agreement with the Soviet Union, and bet that Britain and France would continue to connive at him to fight the Soviet Union. ”

Song Ziqing shook his head and still didn't believe it, this inference was really unreasonable. "President, how is this possible?!" he asked. No matter how much Chamberlain hated the Soviet Union, he wouldn't let the German army become bigger, right? Have they forgotten about the last European war? Even if Chamberlain was willing, France would not be willing. ”

Ziqing is right, if Britain and France do not make a move, it will be equivalent to giving Hitler all the equipment and industry of dozens of divisions in the Czech Republic in vain. With this batch of things, Germany will be able to arm 100 divisions in a year! Jiang Fangzhen also doubted Yang Qiu's inference for the first time. But Yan Baohang thought it made sense and said: "I think what the president said makes sense. Chamberlain and Daladier were both die-hard anti-G elements, and in their eyes the threat of the Soviet Union was far greater than that of Germany, and without knowing that the Soviet Union and Germany had signed a secret treaty, they continued to connive and forced the Soviet Union to send troops to protect the Czech Republic in accordance with the agreement, thus completely provoking a Soviet-German war. ”

Jiang Fangzhen and Song Ziqing were silent, if this situation really happened, I am afraid that Europe would not be optimistic. He asked: "President, if you don't wait for the two treaties to be sent to Britain as soon as they are in hand, this will definitely confirm the Soviet-German alliance, and also allow them to guard against a sneak attack by Germany." ”

"No way!" Before Song Ziqing's suggestion was finished, it was categorically rejected by Yang Qiu, and his eyes were cold: "If you get the treaty, you can't give it to Britain immediately." ”

"Why? President, haven't you always wanted to pull Britain in and work together against the Soviet Union? Surrendering the secret treaty, Chamberlain will find that he has been tricked for several years, and he will definitely be annoyed and angry, unite with France to attack Germany, and then take the initiative to draw us to contain the Soviet Union, isn't this what you have been thinking all along? Jiang Fangzhen looked at Yang Qiu with some puzzlement, the two had been discussing the situation during this time, so he knew very well that Yang Qiu wanted Soviet land, but he didn't want to be enemies with Britain and France, so he came up with the idea of using Iran to deceive the Soviet army to go south, so that Britain and the Soviet Union could have an irreconcilable conflict.

Even Song Ziqing was very surprised next to him, you must know that if the dragon's tooth can get the secret agreement, it will be able to form an alliance between the four countries of Soviet, German, Japanese and Italy, even if Hitler and Stalin speak the lotus flower, it will be impossible to win the trust of Britain and France.

Looking at the two, Yang Qiu smiled bitterly in his heart, how could he not understand the role of the two treaties after giving them to Britain. But it can't be given now, because he still needs Germany to attack France. But this is a risky move, and if France loses quickly, China and Britain will face a siege and flanking attack from the four countries. However, in order to induce the United States to intervene earlier, and in order to carve up French interests under a "legitimate" pretext, he decided to take the risk! Of course, these words cannot be said yet, and saying them will make everyone nervous, after all, if France fails, even an alliance between China and Britain is very dangerous.

However, he is not afraid, the bad account in the northwest is worse than the environment of the air battle in the English Channel, not to mention that even if the entire Persian Gulf is temporarily lost, the poor naval power of the Soviet Union, Germany and Italy will not be able to hit the Far East. As long as we can solve Japan, drag the United States into the water and let Roosevelt go all out to fight the Atlantic, there is a great chance of winning this war. So he continued to bury it in his stomach and said with a smile: "It's not that he doesn't give it, but he didn't have the time." After finishing speaking, he waved his hand and deliberately changed the topic: "Baili, Ziqing, when do you think Stalin will make a move?" What excuse will Nagata Iron Mountain use to go south? ”

The two couldn't figure out why Yang Qiu wanted to suppress the treaty and not expose it for the time being, but they didn't continue to ask, after all, even if they got the whole secret agreement, it would be too early to take it out now. Because for the current Republic of China, the most important thing is to prevent the Soviet army from taking the opportunity to sneak attack the northwest after solving the problem of Europe, and how to deal with the Nanyang issue after the Japanese army moves south. So Jiang Fangzhen thought for a while and muttered: "Since Japan, Germany and the Soviet Union have signed an agreement, then Germany will provoke the Sudetenland crisis very quickly." Once it breaks out, regardless of whether Britain and France compromise or start a war, troops from the Persian Gulf and the South Seas must be transferred to secure Europe first. However, he certainly did not want to clash with Britain immediately, and must first support Sukarno for the establishment of the state, and then use his hands to loot the Dutch East Indies and seize the Anglo-Dutch Shell oil fields in Balepapan. In this way, unless Britain took the initiative to declare war on Japan, it could only vent its anger on Sukarno. Once Britain and Japan confront the South Seas, the Arab side will be even more relaxed, and Stalin will inevitably take the opportunity to go south to solve the great Iranian trouble! Chamberlain then had to choose between Germany and the Soviet Union, or Japan. As for whether he will take the Philippines at the same time, I'm not sure, it's too complicated here! ”

Yang Qiu nodded, then slightly hooked the corners of his mouth and walked towards the car.

As Jiang Fangzhen analyzed, the gradually clear goal can finally make the pace much brisker. What we have to do now is to continue to play Tai Chi with the UK, and maybe we can pretend to talk to the Soviet Union, and then wait for Japan, Germany, and the Soviet Union to break through this veil and return a more real China to the world!
