Chapter 471: The Layout Begins
Presidential palace.
Wang Yaqiao stood at the desk, and Xiao Zhenlei sat on a chair behind the desk looking at a stack of reports. After a long time, Xiao Zhenlei put down the report and looked up at Wang Yaqiao and said: "The work of the Iron and Blood Investigation Bureau in North America is progressing well, but it is still a little short in terms of heat, to provoke disputes and tensions on the border between the United States and Mexico, and to create contradictions between the north and the south in the United States, this contradiction has not been without before, for example, the American Civil War happened because the contradictions between the southern slave owners and the northern capitalists in the United States could not be reconciled, and now there are no slave owners in the United States, but there are still capitalists, If there is a conflict of interests between the capitalists of the North and the South of the United States, then this contradiction can be magnified! ”
After taking a sip of tea, Xiao Zhenlei continued: "The United States not only has a huge conflict of interests between capitalists, but also has extremely strict racial discrimination and conflicts, not only between whites and blacks, but also between whites and other races. Can't you develop or support someone or someone to form one or more organizations among people of color in the United States, so that they can infiltrate all social strata in the United States, especially into the U.S. military, because you know, white people are not the majority in the U.S. military. All in all, you should understand that in this world war, the United States cannot afford to make a fortune by quietly making a fortune, and they are now selling a large number of arms and other strategic materials to the side of the Entente, and they have made countless sums of money in just over a year. The Americans made a fortune in silence, while we were fighting the Japanese to the death, and maybe the Germans in the future. I'm a stingy person, and I can't look down on Americans! ”
"After the end of this war, Britain will have to take off the title of the world's boss, if the Americans are allowed to make a lot of money in such a silence, in the end the Americans will rise, the international situation is unpredictable, we must not only try to make ourselves develop. Let our power develop as fast as possible without hurting our own foundations, and at the same time find ways to restrain the development of other countries, of which the United States is our number one enemy in the future. This world war is an opportunity to reshuffle the world order, and we can't let go of this opportunity, we have to get the biggest deck of cards, and we have to let others get as small cards as possible."
Wang Yaqiao listened to Xiao Zhenlei's words. He completely understood Xiao Zhenlei's purpose. also understood that Xiao Zhenlei's plan was beyond his imagination. In his view, this is the courage of a country's head of state, competing with the world, rather than sticking to trivial things at home. Of course, domestic affairs cannot be said to be trivial matters, and the domestic political situation has tended to be stable, and the society has completely stabilized, and the next step is to strive to develop the economy, increase production capacity, and improve the living standards of the people. In this regard, Xiao Zhenlei has the general direction to grasp the general direction, and the cabinet has done specific work.
Wang Yaqiao said: "I understand what the president means. I'm going to step up my efforts in the U.S. and Mexico, but what about Canada? ”
"Canada?" Xiao Zhenlei thought for a while, and finally gave up this idea, he said: "Forget about Canada, and after this war is over, you will start to arrange the work on the Canadian side." Now Canada is one of the most important suppliers of soldiers and strategic materials to the British, if Canada is allowed to rebel against the British at this time, and let them contradict the Americans, I estimate that if the British lose this place of supply of soldiers and important strategic materials, the British will probably not be able to stop the German attack, but you can now arrange manpower to the Canadian side, so as not to make trouble in the future, and now the arrangement will be several years after the end of the war, and it can withstand the investigation in terms of time. It will save you a lot of trouble in the future."
"Okay!" Wang Yaqiao agreed.
Xiao Zhenlei got up and said, "I called you over today, and there is one more thing to be handed over to your Iron and Blood Investigation Bureau!" ”
Wang Yaqiao stood up and said: "Please give the president's orders!" ”
Xiao Zhenlei lit a cigarette and took a few puffs and said, "What do you think of the situation in Europe?" If there had been no external intervention, who would have won on the side of the Allies and the Entente? ”
Wang Yaqiao asked, "Doesn't it include my country?" ”
"Yes!"
Wang Yaqiao thought for two minutes and said: "I think that if there is no other external force involved, I think the war may continue to drag on, but in the end Germany will still be defeated!" ”
Xiao Zhenlei turned around, took a puff of his cigarette and asked, "Why do you say that?" ”
Wang Yaqiao expressed his analysis: "In the east, due to China's intervention, the Japanese no longer pose a threat to the Tsarist Russia, and Tsarist Russia can deal with the German attack wholeheartedly. Austria-Hungary, Bulgaria, Turkey and other countries on the side of the Allies are only playing the role of soy sauce, and the main force is still Germany, although it seems that Germany occupies most of the lands in Europe, such as France, Belgium, Austria, etc., but it is not easy for Germany to make use of the resources on these encroached lands, which cannot completely reverse Germany's shortcomings in strategic resources, and in terms of soldiers, Germany's current strength has seven million people, which is close to the limit. Germany's economy would collapse, production would not be able to keep up, and what would it be capable of fighting? But Britain is different, Britain's control over the colonies is very strong, and as long as its overseas colonies are not completely cut off from sea routes, Britain can get a steady stream of blood transfusions! And because of the strength of the British Navy, it completely blocked the German Navy in the North Sea, and the German High Seas Fleet had to pass the British Royal Navy if it wanted to go out, I don't think the German Navy could beat the British Navy, once the German Navy was defeated, then Germany completely lost the chance to win! ”
Xiao Zhenlei smoked a cigarette, exhaled the smoke, walked to the window and looked at the scenery outside and said: "Yes, you have a good analysis, even if there is no external force to intervene, Germany will eventually be defeated, but it will drag on for a longer time, if there is an external force to help the Entente, the Allied countries will lose faster, but what if there is an external force to help Germany?" ”
Wang Yaqiao was stunned when he heard this: "What does the president mean???????? ”
Xiao Zhenlei took a puff of cigarette and said, "Let me ask you, what is the purpose of our participation in this war?" ”
"Get back what we have lost, get what we want through this war, and strive for a higher international status in the world!"
Xiao Zhenlei nodded: "Yes, Germany will be defeated sooner or later, and the Entente will eventually win, the price paid by the Entente to win is related to the length of the war, the longer the time drags on, the greater the loss of the Entente, you and I both understand, even now, Britain is still the most powerful country in the world, this world order is going to change, we can no longer let the British be the king and hegemon, although we have formed an alliance with the Entente, but I don't want the Entente to defeat the Allied Powers, if Britain defeats Germany, So after the war, Britain is still the world leader and may become stronger, is this what we want to see? No, absolutely not, since Germany is doomed, why don't we let it lose later? I would be glad to use the knife of Germany to weaken the British and French powers! ”
Wang Yaqiao immediately understood, and he asked, "The task given to me by the president is related to this matter?" ”
Xiao Zhenlei returned to the back of the desk and sat down and nodded: "Yes, I decided to strengthen Germany, Germany is already very strong in the army, we can't give more powerful forces, and we don't have any advantage in the navy, we can't help Germany, the only advantage we have is the air force, so I decided to sell the manufacturing technology of the first generation fighter to Germany, at the latest in another year or two, the manufacturing technology of the first generation fighter is already worthless, and then the aircraft of European and American countries will reach that level, rather than making the technology outdated, It is better to sell it to Germany while the technology of European and American countries has not yet reached that point, on the one hand, to help Germany strengthen its air power against Britain, and on the other hand, we can get a huge amount of money for the development of more powerful fighters, haven't the Germans been trying to get our aircraft manufacturing technology? Why don't we go with the flow? I have already said hello to the Air Force about this matter, you go and get the technical data and drawings, I don't care how to do it, I only have one request, I can't let the Germans or even anyone else think that this is our official initiative! ”
Wang Yaqiao said righteously: "President, I understand, I will find the most reliable intelligence officer to make a false impression of rebellion, steal the technical data and drawings before defecting, and then secretly contact the German intelligence personnel hidden in our country, I believe that once the Germans get the news, they will definitely ask the fishy cat to pounce!" There is a question, President, now that our country and Germany are hostile countries, how will the money for this transaction be paid? It is certainly impossible to use Chinese dollars, and if you ask for payment in Chinese dollars, the Germans are likely to be suspicious, and in the words of the Deutsche mark, of course we cannot want this currency, which has been greatly depreciated, and if it is asked for the pound sterling, do the Germans have so many pounds now? Besides, the pound has also depreciated sharply, who knows if it will depreciate again? ”
Xiao Zhenlei thought for a while, took a few puffs of cigarette and said: "Well, the problem you said is indeed a problem, so let's do it, neither Chinese dollars, nor British pounds and German marks, and ask the Germans to pay in dollars, at least until now, there are no problems in the relationship between Germany and the United States, and the relationship between my country and the United States is also good, and I can still spend this money!"
