On April 3, 1929, he was also the great teacher of the international communist movement. Ilyich. A week after Lenin's death. Chang Ruiqing's car drove to the front of the newly completed Zhongg Central Building. The seven-storey East-meets-West building looks very imposing from the outside, with a blue Chinese spire and gray granite inlaid on the walls of the building. In front of the building, there are two flagpoles about the same height as the building, which are hung with the flag of the Federal Republic of China and the flag of the Chinese GCD Party. Chang Ruiqing, who was sitting in the car, was looking at the half-lowered flag of the China G Party outside the car window with somewhat gloomy eyes.

The Chinese g is lowering the flag at half-mast for Lenin! This was a decision made by the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China on the occasion of Chang Ruiqing's foreign visit, and it is said that it was in response to the "goodwill" of the Soviet side.

Although in the propaganda of the Chinese and the Federal Government of Greater China, Lenin and Trotsky were not listed as the mortal enemies of the Chinese nation. But that is only from the point of view of dividing the Soviet GCD, and among the rumors released by the Federal Intelligence Service, Lenin's confidant Dzerzhinsky is now accepting the protection of China, and he does not really regard Comrade Lenin as a good person! Therefore, Chang Ruiqing, who was in Bangkok, was unconsciously worried when he received the decision of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China to respond to the Soviet Union's desire for reconciliation by lowering the flag at half-mast to mourn Lenin.

It's not that I'm worried about some people's unauthorized decisions, after all, flying the flag at half-mast is not a big deal, and after the meeting of the Political Affairs Bureau, he also sent a telegram to Chang Ruiqing, who visited the country, for advice. What really worries Chang Ruiqing is the members of the Political Affairs Bureau of the Central G, except for himself. Almost unanimously in favor of détente with the Soviet Union!

And it was not only the leaders of the Soviet GCD who held this view. Just now, Chang Ruiqing also exchanged views with Bai Chongxi, chief of the General Staff of the National Defense Forces, and Wang Junhao, the new commander-in-chief of the Army. These two fathers and leaders of the Wehrmacht also revealed in their words and expressions their lack of confidence in the Sino-Soviet war. According to Bai Chongxi: "Last year, the Soviet Union produced 70% more steel, 60% more electricity, 10 times more oil, and twice as many cars and tractors...... On the whole, the heavy industry of the USSR was more than twice as powerful as ours, and they only developed the army. Investments in the Navy are very limited, and we have to pay equal attention to land and sea. So what the Soviet Army could get from Soviet industry in wartime. It will be four times what the Chinese Army will get from the Chinese industry! Even if a quarter of our strength is used against us, we will be evenly matched, and then we will most likely fall into a protracted war! ”

Wang Junhao said even more bluntly: "...... More than 500 million people and more than 10 million square kilometers of land are in our hands, so what is there to be dissatisfied? The battle against the Soviet Union. Even if you win. But get millions of square kilometers of barren land in Central Asia and Siberia. In case of failure, even the country is in danger of falling, and I ask my brother to think twice. ”

Speaking from the heart, what Bai Chongxi and Wang Junhao said is the truth. There is no doubt that the heavy industry and military power of the Soviet Union are strong, and even compared with the Stalin-led Soviet Union in Chang Ruiqing's previous life, Trotsky's Soviet Union seems to be stronger in terms of industrial strength in this time and space.

Furthermore. Another time and space purge that greatly damaged the vitality of the Soviet Red Army will most likely not occur. Trotsky, who was bent on launching a world revolution and liberating all mankind, had not yet come to play the game of "cooking rabbits and dogs, and hiding all birds". There are still many "cunning rabbits" like Chang Ruiqing, Hitler, and Mussolini, so there is no reason to purge the Red Army officer class that he brought out single-handedly......

Taking into account all factors, it is true that Trotsky's Soviet Union could not be defeated lightly, and it is better to avoid war with the Soviet Union as much as possible if we proceed purely from the standpoint of consolidating the "Changjia dynasty."

But the question is, the trees want to be still, and the wind can stop?

The door of the car opened, and Chang Ruiqing lowered his head and got out of the car. Mao Zd, chairman of the Chinese G, personally came out to greet him. After sitting in the position of chairman of the political council for several years, the current Mao ZD is much richer than the one who was still in the Soviet area in history, and there are some signs of getting lucky in advance.

"Prime Minister, Lenin's funeral has been scheduled for early May, and Britain, the United States and France intend to send special envoys to Moscow to attend Lenin's funeral. It is said that Germany would also send secret envoys to attend the meeting, and by the way, he would discuss with Trotsky the question of peaceful reunification between the two Germanys. Look, should we send someone to Moscow? ”

Chang Ruiqing nodded and smiled. He shook hands with Mao Zd. Didn't he end his visit in Siam early and take the plane back to Nanjing to discuss the matter? He walked side by side with Mao ZD towards the Central Building, and said with a smile: "Of course you have to send people, even the flag has been lowered at half-mast, so what's the problem of sending people to the Soviet Union for a memorial service?" However, the level of the delegation to the Soviet Union should still be considered. By the way, how did the Kuomintang react to this? ”

"I have already exchanged views with Chairman Chiang of the Kuomintang a few days ago, and he means that although China and the Soviet Union have been cut off for a long time, they are not officially at war. Lenin was the leader of the Soviet state, and out of courtesy, we could send someone to Lenin's funeral, but it would be better to send someone to the name of the Federal Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and not in the name of the Chinese GCD. ”

"Well, Chairman Chiang's words still make sense, and they should be in the name of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs."

While speaking, the two of them have walked into the elevator on the ground floor of the G Central Building side by side, which is produced and installed by the branch of the American Otis company in Shanghai, and the rise is very stable, and the noise is also very small, which is almost comparable to the elevator that Chang Ruiqing took in later generations. After the iron fence door of the elevator opened, the corridor decorated with high-grade wood, carpet and oil paintings appeared in front of Chang Ruiqing's eyes. Speaking of which, it was the first time he had come to the newly built CG headquarters, although he himself had an office here. Chang Ruiqing and Mao ZD had just walked into the conference room on the seventh floor and had not had time to sit down. I heard the sound of talking in Hokkien, and then I saw Pan Yucheng and Pan Wenhua walking over in a hurry. Probably because his grandson missed the future premiership of China, Pan Yucheng's complexion did not look very good.

I saw Chang Ruiqing standing at the door. He said loudly angrily: "Prime Minister, what a rare guest...... Oh, there's one thing I want to ask, why are we building a large thermal power plant in northern Shaanxi? Is it because there is a modern coal mine invested by China National Petroleum Group? Do you know how much it costs to build thousands of kilometers of high-voltage transmission lines? Why can't we build this super-large thermal power plant in Shanxi, that would save a lot of money! Maybe there's enough power plant to build...... Also, why transfer a 30% stake in China Power Group to the Mellon consortium? Now the power group is just on track, and there is still a lot of room for growth in the future. Even selling at a three-fold net worth premium is a loss-making deal! ”

Chang Ruiqing smiled and welcomed his chattering father-in-law into the conference room, listening to him still complaining: "...... The economy has been doing so well in the past two years, and tax revenues have increased so quickly. The government is not short of money at all, so why is it in a hurry to sell shares in public enterprises? Not only our power group, but also a large number of large companies in the public railway, steel, shipbuilding, aviation, automobile, chemical and other industries are also selling, and even the shares of the Bank of Communications and the Farmers' Bank (controlled by the Fishery and Farmers' Association) have also been sold...... Premier. What the hell are you having? Can't you just tell me about it? ”

Chang Ruiqing just smiled and listened. There are some things he can only do but not say. For example, the construction of a large thermal power plant in northern Shaanxi is not a whim. Just three months ago, Li Fuji, director of the Chinese Institute of Physics, sent a telegram from London, informing the British Cavendish that he was in the United Kingdom

The "gas diffusion machine" for separating uranium-235 jointly developed by the Institute of Physics of the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute of Enemy Research in Germany has been successfully tested! So Chang Ruiqing hurriedly ordered the Ministry of Armaments to build an isotope separation factory. This project was directly in charge of the Minister of Armaments Jiang Baili, and the site of the factory was personally selected by Chang Ruiqing in Yan'an County, northern Shaanxi. To support the isotope separation plant, construction of a railway to northern Shaanxi began four years ago. It has been completed and opened to traffic. After the railway was built, Changrui Qingkong's China National Petroleum Group invested tens of millions of yuan to build a large coal mine in Shenmu County, northern Shaanxi. Construction is currently intensifying.

Just a month ago, Chang Ruiqing ordered the Ministry of Social Security and the China Power Corporation to build a large-scale thermal power plant with a total installed capacity of more than 1 million kilowatts in Shenmu County, northern Shaanxi. A 1,000,000-kilowatt thermal power plant will not be considered a small plant in the future, let alone now? Once completed, the power plant will generate around 5 billion kWh of electricity a year, and last year, the total power generation of all power plants in China was just close to 10 billion kWh! With such a large power plant built in sparsely populated northern Shaanxi, who can the electricity generated be sold to? If you can't sell it, isn't it obvious that you are going to lose money? Can Pan Yucheng not be in a hurry?

What can Chang Ruiqing say about this? At present, the phenomenon of nuclear fission has not yet been discovered, and no one will believe the atomic bomb even if it is said. Of course, if anyone believes it, it can't be said!

As for the reason for the large number of shares sold in public enterprises for cash, it is also impossible to say. Although Chang Ruiqing knew that the Great Depression in history began in October 1929, the history of this time and space seems to have changed a lot. The rise of China, the revival of Germany, the confrontation between China, Britain and Germany and the Soviet-Japanese-Polish confrontation will have a huge impact on the operating cycle of the US economy. Nevertheless, he decided to reduce his holdings of as many shares as possible in the company by October 1929, whether owned by the Chinese Federal Government or controlled by the Iron Comrades Association.

The targets of the sale of shares are mainly American consortia with a lot of money and nowhere to spend, such as the Morgan consortium, the Rockefeller consortium, the Mellon consortium, and so on, which have already purchased shares of large companies worth more than $1 billion from the Chinese government and the Iron and Blood Comrades Association in the past few months, and there are plans to buy them in large quantities further......

Incidentally, due to the implementation of the Financial Supervision Act, and the establishment of the Financial Supervision Commission. At present, China's securities market is probably the most transparent and strictly regulated securities market in the world. Compared with those listed companies in Europe and the United States, which do not even produce financial statements and are not subject to any external supervision at all, the thousands of companies listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange are almost being guarded as scammers (the exact words of a foreign foreign firm).

Chang Ruiqing patted his old father-in-law on the shoulder. Although he is younger than the other party, this posture of a superior person is natural in the eyes of everyone. "Pan Gong, there are some things that are really inconvenient to talk about now. But trust me, these decisions are well thought out. ”

Mao Zd next to him also persuaded him: "Yes, Mr. Pan, can the prime minister's decision not be assured?" Under the leadership of the Prime Minister, our country has gone from a poor and white situation to 6 million tons of steel last year, which has surpassed France, and there are several large steel factories newly built and expanded, and in another two or three years, it will definitely exceed 10 million tons! If you push harder. Maybe within a few years, we will be able to produce more of our major heavy industry than the UK! ”

Speaking of the increase in steel production and surpassing the United Kingdom or something, the eyebrows on Mao Zd's face are about to fly. Pan Yucheng shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Runzhi." If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense, the construction of heavy industry should pay attention to scientific planning and rational layout, and it cannot be blindly constructed. For example, it is extremely uneconomical to build a power plant in a place like northern Shaanxi......"

Although Chang Ruiqing smiled, he maintained his demeanor and sat down. But there was already a hint of impatience in the smile. He coughed softly. interrupted the conversation between Mao ZD and Pan Yucheng. He smiled faintly and said, "Pan Gong." Chairman, there is no need to discuss the matter of the Northern Shaanxi Power Plant, this is an important and confidential military project, and it must be carried out! Let us now discuss the subtle changes in Soviet foreign policy that took place after Lenin's death. ”

Pan Yucheng frowned, since it is a confidential military project, then China Power Group can only start it hard. Even if you lose money in the end, you can only admit it, but I don't know if the Mellon consortium that bought the shares of the power group will react like this? I thought of dealing with these foreign devils. His brain ached.

At this time, a few more members of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China walked into the conference room, and when they saw that everyone had arrived, Mao ZD announced the start of the meeting. There is only one thing to be discussed at today's meeting, and that is the change in the foreign policy of the Soviet Union and China's response.

"I have already exchanged views with the prime minister just now, and we must take the olive branch extended by the Soviet Union, even if there are any traps in it." The spirit of Mao Zd's presiding over the meeting of the Political Bureau was always the best, "The Prime Minister meant that this mission to the Soviet Union to attend Lenin's funeral should be sent in the name of the federal government. Comrades, who do you think would be the best person to be the head of the mission? Have you volunteered? ”

The errand of the Soviet Union was not a good deal, and it was possible for Sino-Soviet relations to ease up temporarily, but it was not much better, and in case of another twist in the future, a Soviet spy would be suspected. Although Chang Ruiqing will definitely be able to explain it clearly, it is difficult to say what the voters will think, and if they can't be elected as political senders, legislators, governors, and mayors, it will be worth the losses. Therefore, all the members of the political bureau in the conference room were silent.

Seeing that no one was willing to pick in the fire pit, Mao ZD smiled slightly, and said: "When visiting the Soviet Union, you have to listen to some intelligence along the way, and comrades who don't have any intelligence work experience or are not familiar with the Soviet Union may be difficult to compete!" He looked at Chang Ruiqing and said, "Prime Minister, I will send people to the Soviet Union by the intelligence department." ”

"I agree with the chairman," Li Dazhao, who has always been a supporter of Mao, said: "It is better to let the intelligence chief Zhang Guotao personally go out, he is a guard of Comrade Lenin, and he was also a famous cadre in the Soviet Union." ”

Chang Ruiqing glanced at him, thinking that Zhang Guotao would go to the Soviet Union to fight the dog with meat buns! Although Trotsky would not have acted openly, it was not a piece of cake to create an accident?

"It is inconvenient for Zhang Guotao to come forward, so it is better for Zhong Zhihui to take the horse, he has been the head of the Sino-G international delegation to GC, and he is also familiar with the road in Moscow." Chang Ruiqing thought about it, and pushed Zhong Zhijie, who is now the head of the Central Asia Station of the Intelligence Bureau, out.

There was no objection to this candidate in the conference room, so it was passed. Chang Ruiqing then said: "I don't know what the comrades think of the changes in the Soviet Union's foreign policy after Lenin's death, but I firmly do not believe that Lotsky will change the course of the world revolution because of Lenin's deathbed advice and testament. Moreover, even Lenin himself was not necessarily opposed to Trotsky's line of world revolution. The Soviet GCD carried out a policy of forcibly exporting the revolution to the whole world, and in this respect there was no difference between Trotsky and Lenin. I think that the current transformation of the USSR must be a conspiracy, and a big conspiracy! We must be vigilant! ”

Listening to Chang Ruiqing's statement, the members of the Political Bureau attending the meeting all frowned slightly, as if they did not expect that Chang Ruiqing's determination to fight the Soviet Union would be so strong, and it seemed that there was no room for negotiation at all.

At this moment, a man in the conference room suddenly stood up and said in a deep voice: "Chancellor, do you think this is a conspiracy of Trotsky, but Trotsky has figured out what purpose this conspiracy has achieved?" (To be continued.) For mobile phone users, please go to M. to read. )
