Chapter 61: A Great Opportunity

Chapter 61 Heavy dà opportunity

A Brontosaurus bomber with the number 093, landed at the Petropavlovsk airfield. Pilot Zhou Xiang and co-pilot Meng Gang were restricted from leaving the plane and could only open the window and sit in the cab to smoke. The Soviet ground crew came up, refueled and left immediately. Zhou Xiang looked at the gloomy guy standing next to the plane, and crooked his mouth and said, "Meng Gang, do you know who this is?" Meng Gang shook his head and said, "It doesn't matter who he is." Besides, we signed a confidentiality agreement with the Military Intelligence Agency before we left, so don't talk nonsense with your big mouth, and it will harm your family. ”

A truck sped up, and when it came to a stop, six Soviets alighted, starting with a tall, thin man with a full beard.

"Good work, Comrade Kamenev." Coming down from the cabin was also a Soviet negotiator, Yue Fei, and this time the operation was top secret within top secret. After a long period of unremitting efforts, the Chinese finally negotiated reunification, but Yue Fei's level was not enough, and after Yue Fei contacted the country, he got an answer. Comrade Kamenev, member of the Soviet Political Bureau, will secretly go to Beijing as a plenipotentiary negotiator to hold talks with the Chinese side on a series of issues, including the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and the Soviet Union.

Yue Fei followed Trotsky, and Kamenev was Lenin's most trusted assistant. Of course, Yue Fei's status is not comparable with Kamenev's, so it can be seen who is the leader of the secret negotiations between China and the Soviet Union this time.

In the past period, the Soviet Union suffered greatly from the two-front war. The Poles, led by Pilsudski, entered Ukraine with great momentum, and as the war progressed, although they gradually became exhausted, they still defeated the Soviet army and took Kyiv.

In this situation, the Soviet political bureau had no choice but to face up to this problem at a meeting. One thing is for sure. Without the participation of the Chinese, Kolchak could not defeat the Soviet army. And the Chinese supported Kolchak, definitely not for the revival of Russia, in terms of hatred, Russia during the tsarist period was even more hated by the Chinese. A series of unequal treaties forced China to cede millions of square kilometers of territory.

In order to avoid fighting on two fronts, the Soviet top decided to show a little "sincerity" to ensure that the Chinese stopped at Omsk. Thankfully. Yue Fei's efforts in China were not in vain, and after taking bribes, Yue Fei met with Chinese President Sun Baoqi, and under his explanation, Yue Fei got a fairly satisfactory answer. The Chinese will not cross Omsk for the time being. However, there are a number of issues that must be met at a high level.

It was against this background that Kamenev shouldered a heavy burden and secretly went to Beijing. The best result of this negotiation was the signing of a Sino-Soviet peace agreement and its recognition by China, and no country in the world has formally established diplomatic relations with the Soviet Union. As long as the Chinese could agree to this condition, Lenin thought that even huge concessions should be made. It's worth it, too.

The Poles on the Western Front occupied Kiev, Kolchak on the Eastern Front returned to Omsk, and elite Chinese troops appeared in Andijan. In the status quo, the Soviets reached a critical point of life and death. If this problem can be solved through diplomatic means. That's for the best.

Watching a group of Soviets board the plane, Zhou Xiang closed the window and turned around and shouted, "It's ready to take off." "The last one on the plane was the expressionless guy from the MIA, as long as he was in the military. Nobody likes that kind of person. Zhou Xiang didn't even bother to ask what his name was, and it was too late to hide. There is this energy. It's better to fly planes and bomb the Soviets.

Fang Jianxiong has never thought about being a thug to the Western countries and the Soviet Union, it is almost enough, the huge Soviet Union is not something that a Republic of China that is still an agricultural country can be worried about.

The plane took off, disappeared over Petropavlovsk, landed in Novosibirsk an hour and a half later, got off the plane, changed to another plane waiting there, and continued to fly to the next target. Before dark, the plane landed at Irkutsk airport, and the people on board four cars to the railway station, where a special train had been waiting for a long time.

When the delegation boarded the special train, Fang Jianxiong was in Shanghai, and there were two main things going south this time. The first is to appear in front of the personnel of German enterprises coming to China, give them a reassurance, and pave the way for the next series of cooperation negotiations. The second thing is to inspect Shanghai Jiangnan Shipbuilding Group, because Jiangnan Group lasted two years, and after completing the digestion of French technology, it really achieved its own steam turbine. Although this is only a steam turbine for destroyers, the French are absolutely the world's top in this technology, and mastering this technology is of far-reaching significance for the future development of China's shipbuilding industry. It can be said that this is the first step in the dependence of the power system on imports, for which Jiangnan Shipbuilding Group has paid huge manpower and material resources.

The industry is a thing, it can't be fake, the technology of the copycats, if the steam turbine produced by the French is just a product in the real room, Fang Jianxiong will definitely scold the guy in charge of this project to death.

Eurasia Hotel, where Fang Dashuai stayed. At the point where Fang Jianxiong came, he couldn't finish doing things wherever he wanted to. As soon as he returned to the hotel from the Jiangnan Group, a telegram was placed on the table, and the person who personally delivered the telegram was Foreign Minister Gu Weijun.

"Kamenev?" Fang Jianxiong glanced at the telegram and gently placed it on the table. Gu Weijun, who was opposite, could sit down with a big grin in front of Sun Baoqi, and stood in front of Fang Jianxiong in a proper manner, waiting.

"First of all, it is necessary to determine that all the unequal treaties of the former Qing Dynasty are abolished, which is the main premise. The second is the issue of war reparations, the Soviet Union estimates that it will not be able to come up with much foreign exchange, so it will use materials to pay off debts, oil and gold. If it really doesn't work, then you need a little more territory, especially in Central Asia. Finally, there is the issue of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and the Soviet Union, which is not impossible to discuss, but it is necessary to clearly tell the Soviets that the prerequisite for the Chinese government to recognize the Soviet government is based on the premise of reaching an understanding with the Western countries. Fang Jianxiong's tone was slow, and Gu Weijun skillfully took out the kid and recorded it. This is not difficult to understand, to admit that the Soviet Union is a carrot hanging in front of the nose of a donkey.

Fang Jianxiong looked at Gu Weijun recording and knew his attitude very well in his heart. Although Gu Weijun is now the foreign minister, Sun Baoqi has always hoped that Gu Weijun can grow up and be trained as a successor of the new generation. In the next general election, Gu Weijun is Sun Baoqi's candidate for prime minister. In fact, in Fang Jianxiong's mind, Gu Weijun was not a suitable candidate.

Now in the Republic of China government, sometimes Fang Jianxiong has a headache when he thinks about it, and he thinks about fighting for power and profit all day long. Within the Republican Party, Sun Baoqi and Tang Hualong have each pulled up the mountain, and they are both preparing for the next general election. In contrast, other things are less focused.

Fang Jianxiong attaches the most importance to the construction of the industrial system, throughout history, in parallel time and space, except for a Khrushchev willing to help build China's industrial system, which other country's leaders can do this? The industrial system is definitely not something that exists in words, so to speak, without the assistance of the Soviet Union, there would be no basic industrial system in the later republics.

For Fang Jianxiong, there is now a serious opportunity, that is, after the defeat of Germany, he is deeply oppressed by the Treaty of Versailles. The unwilling Germans were bent on circumventing the Treaty of Versailles, and this was the basis for Sino-German cooperation. This is the most important purpose of Fang Jianxiong's southward journey. To put it bluntly, without an industrial system, what will be used to fight the next world war?

Some things can only be done by Fang Jianxiong himself, and others may not be able to see them, but they are just unwilling to do them. If it's not beneficial, of course I'm willing to do it. Since the Republic of China, the development of China's industry has always been a two-legged walk. On the one hand, there is light industry, with the textile industry as the leader, which is mainly developed spontaneously by the people. Taking advantage of the opportunity of World War I, China's light industry developed rapidly. On the other hand, there is heavy industry, which is an important indicator of a country's strength. This is what Fang Jianxiong values most, and the way to do it is to focus on supporting some chaebols. The current Eurasia Group, from a small workshop at the beginning, has developed to the point of a behemoth. The military-industrial system under the Eurasian bloc is already able to build its own guns and even warships. But this is not enough, it is one thing to be able to build, and it is another thing to be able to meet the demand. With an annual output of 150,000 rifles, this level is a bit basic.

The problem is that many people can't see the weakness of the Republic of China and think that the Republic of China is now a strong country. In fact, the Eurasian military-industrial bloc can't even build cannons with a caliber of more than 300, while China's close neighbor Japan can already build 410 naval guns.

How to seize this important opportunity in front of us, take advantage of the spirit of resistance of the Germans under the oppression of the Treaty of Versailles, raise the industrial base of the Republic of China to a higher level, and complete a large amount of accumulation. There are too many things that need to be done, and Fang Jianxiong doesn't have that much energy to pull off, so he turns a blind eye to many things.

Gu Heng, who was over fifty years old, looked a little old, and when he appeared in front of Fang Jianxiong, Gu Heng still habitually shouted: "It's good to be a young owner." "People in this era are like this, and there are many shopkeepers who work in a store until they die. Gu Heng's positioning of himself is not a big bourgeoisie, nor is he a big man, he is the big shopkeeper of Fang's store. What a president, that's false.

"Mr. Gu is here, sit!" Fang Jianxiong hurriedly stood up and greeted him, and Gu Weijun said goodbye when he saw this.

Gu Heng didn't sit down, but stood and watched Fang Jianxiong make tea with his own hands, his eyes moistened with heat, and quietly wiped it off. Today's Gu Heng, stomping on China's industrial and commercial feet is an earthquake, and blowing a breath is a typhoon. But when Fang Jianxiong was in front of him, it was the most down-to-earth time in Gu Heng's heart.

"Thank you Shaodong!" Taking the teacup, Gu Heng waited for Fang Jianxiong to sit down, and then sat down. Fang Dashuai made tea with his own hands, this was the treatment Gu Heng deserved, and Gu Heng did not have any pressure on this.
