Pavel genuinely regretted that after the end of World War I, when East Prussia's position was largely consolidated, the Jewish elite, including him, believed the British - World War I would be a war that would end the war. They naively believe that the international political order has been established, and they still believe that there will never be any major changes or adjustments in this order.

Based on this, the Jewish elite developed its own state policy, hoping to gradually break free from the influence of the Russians and become a normal independent state. During this period, with the acquiescence of Pavel, relations between East Prussia and the USSR gradually changed from friends and brothers to "business" partners. Especially when the Soviet Union was once again marginalized by the international community in the late twenties, the Jews further distanced themselves from the Soviet Union.

But to the surprise of Pavel and the Jewish elites, an economic crisis of unprecedented scale changed the situation, and the Germans, who had been like dead dogs, suddenly became jackals, while the British and French, who had been shouting at jackals, were imprisoned in zoos and became less aggressive. There was no reaction to Germany's gradual release of the yoke, and it was even happy to see it happen.

Germany's rearmament dramatically changed the political landscape of Eastern and Central Europe, making East Prussia, which had been preparing to become a neutral state, instantly extremely embarrassing. There are Germans in the west, and relations with western Poland in the south are a backwater, and even the former friends in the east are turning against them.

The Jewish political elite looked around and suddenly realized that the policy of neutrality that had been implemented for more than a decade had brought the country into an extremely dangerous situation, and that their geopolitical environment had deteriorated as if they were alone.

Seeing that it was not good, the Jews hurriedly began to act. On the one hand, he hurriedly contacted Britain and France. I hope to hug these two big thick legs like West Poland. On the other hand, he immediately began to repair relations with the Soviet Union, hoping that the Soviet big brother would help to do the work of the Germans.

Li Xiaofeng is well aware of Pavel's intentions, and since two years ago, he has thoroughly seen the faces of Jews, in essence, this is also a group of mothers who have milk. And this time Pavel came to visit him at the same time that Ben. Gurion also made official visits to Britain and France, which shows that the Jews were still prepared to bet both, and that they had a lower perception of the Soviet Union than Britain and France.

Think about it. If they had really valued their relations with the Soviet Union, they would not have sent a former president to play the emotional card, while the official president had made his first visit to England and then to France and the United States, without mentioning any plans to visit the Soviet Union.

This shows that the Jews still only want to temporarily cram, that is, the fire burns the buttocks, and then they want to let the former big brother help put out the fire, and once the fire is extinguished, these grandchildren will immediately sprout in a solid state!

It is precisely because he saw through this that he was not even interested in Pavel Li Xiaofeng, anyway, East Prussia was in front of the Soviet Union. The depth of more than 200 kilometers was enough to weaken the power of the German blitzkrieg, at least not to catch the Soviet Union off guard, as it was in history. As for East Prussia. Anyway, it's not Russian territory, and it's not distressing if it's broken.

Originally, he still had considerable confidence in this visit, believing that as long as he lowered his posture and gave the Soviets a little economic benefit, the Soviet Union would soon ignore the past suspicions, and coupled with the activities of Britain and France, it should not be a problem to tide over the political crisis created by the Germans.

But now it seems that Pavel knew that he was too optimistic, and that the Soviet Union was quite indifferent to East Prussia, and that his old friends did not even bother to say anything about the scenes, and even Trotsky, who is now in charge, made it very clear: "The problem of East Prussia is the internal affairs of foreign countries, and the Soviet Government has always opposed interference in the internal affairs of other countries, and the Soviet Government does not hold any position on this issue." As for how to solve this problem, it should be left to the German people and the people of East Prussia to choose for themselves......"

It stands to reason that Trotsky belonged to the Lord who was more wary of Germany, so why didn't he speak for the Jews this time? The first reason was that the actions of the Jews in the previous two years had really disgusted him, and they had frequently obstructed the establishment of diplomatic relations between the Soviet Union and the United States, which made Trotsky very annoyed; The second reason is that although Trotsky was wary of the fascist tendencies in Germany, there was no need for him to shout and kill until the Soviet Union and Germany officially tore their faces. As Li Xiaofeng said, the Soviet Union now has enough strategic buffer zone, and the Germans have not directly threatened the national interests of the Soviet Union, so there is no need to make a fuss; Thirdly, the USSR and Japan are fighting a war in the Far East, so what to provoke Germany at this time? Is it possible to want to fight on two fronts?

For the sake of national interest, the bargaining chips that the Jews could give were really small, and such trivial benefits were not enough to impress Trotsky.

When Pavel returned from Li Xiaofeng in vain, he contacted Ben in the evening through the embassy. Later, when Gurion learned from the latter that the British were just playing haha and perfunctory to them, he was really sad.

"Do you think the French government will support us substantively?"

In the face of Pavel's question, Ben. Gurion replied with a wry smile: "From my personal observations, the French and the British have the same attitude, and they only have lip service to curb German ambitions, and will not take any real action!" ”

After a moment of silence, Pavel asked again: "What about the American side?" Do our friends in the U.S. do they do the work of the U.S. Congress? ”

Root. Gurion's wry smile sounded even more bleak: "...... Isolationism still holds the grip of the U.S. Congress, and Americans don't have much interest in anything other than their homeland to put enough political pressure on Germany for us......" said this. Gurion asked: "Are our Russian friends also ready to stand by and watch?" ”

Pavel let out a long sigh: "The attitude of the Russians is unusually cold, and they are not even perfunctory to us...... It's not good, David, it's going to be bad, we have to prepare for the worst! ”

Root. Gurion fell silent for a long time, and only after a long time did he reply: "I will immediately convene an emergency meeting of the Cabinet to discuss this issue when I return to the country." ”

To be honest, Pavel felt like waiting for Ben. It would be too late for Gurion to convene an emergency cabinet meeting when he returned from the United States, but now he is no longer the president. This must be respected. Gurion and the authority of the new cabinet. He can only wait!

But Pavel wasn't just stupid. In the Soviet Union he was running around, constantly trying to find a breakthrough. He did not expect, however, that his efforts would be in vain, and that no one would have the audacity to challenge the authority of the Trotskyists and the Stalin-Sverdlovians at the same time when the Politburo had already agreed on the East Prussian question.

And Pavel didn't know that while he was running around, Learwin also had a secret meeting with a certain immortal, and the core issues they discussed were still the problems of the Far East and China.

"You want us to do further work with the Nanjing Nationalist Government. Let them not be too weak on the issue of Japan? Learwin smiled and asked rhetorically, "What's in it for our country?" You must know that the price to be paid for exerting this kind of political influence is very high! ”

It's a lot of wool, Li Xiaofeng complained in his heart, with the influence of Britain in China, just one sentence is enough for Lao Jiang to weigh for a long time. And doing so does not hinder the interests of the British at all. These damn John Bulls were so confused by the lard that they thought he was fooling.

"Since you have no influence on the Nanjing Nationalist Government, then we have nothing to talk about next." Li Xiaofeng didn't have the other party's temper.

To tell the truth, he never had any hope for the anti-Japanese enthusiasm in Nanjing. For Lao Jiang, his core interests are Jiangsu and Zhejiang. The rest of the land was the territory of the warlords who needed to be attacked in the first place, and whether it was by killing two birds with one stone or by cutting off dissidents by the hands of the Japanese, it was in fact the same.

What's more, there is still a pro-Japanese faction in Nanjing, which is more than how to respond to admiration or something. It is really impossible to expect them to take the initiative to resist Japan. As long as these people don't hold back other forces to resist Japan, Li Xiaofeng is thankful. In fact, he just hoped that the British would help achieve this, and the Soviet Union would not be able to do anything about Nanjing, but the British father's words would still have to be listened to.

And now the British want to take advantage of this, which makes Li Xiaofeng completely unacceptable, for him, it is a big deal for Nanjing to pull back, anyway, they can't go anywhere no matter how pig teammates are.

"Don't get excited, it's time for your temper to change, anyway, you've entered the Politburo, and you have to broaden your horizons, right?" Learwin still smiled and said, "It's not like a man to be so small-bellied!" ”

Li Xiaofeng ignored her and sneered: "Like a man, you have to accept your political blackmail?" Are you an idiot to me? Stupid woman, agitation is useless to me. If you are willing to put pressure on Nanjing, then do it, anyway, it is also to protect your own interests, if you don't do it, forget it, don't try to use this to rip off the bamboo! ”

Li Erwen was still very calm, and said with a smile: "How is it a bargain?" You're saying it so badly, we're just trying to exchange for it. ”

Li Xiaofeng sneered again: "What kind of equivalent exchange method?" Is it that you pick up a ready-made cheap equivalent exchange? ”

"Don't get excited! As I said, it is an equivalent exchange, as long as you say a word, we can put enough pressure on the Nanjing side at any time. ”

"When did my words become so important?" Li Xiaofeng asked with a sneer.

This time, Li Erwen didn't go around in circles, and said bluntly: "We are interested in some products of NORINCO, as long as you agree to sell, everything will be easy to do!" ”

NORINCO products? Li Xiaofeng's eyebrows moved slightly, what is the idea of the British? He asked quietly, "Which products?" ”

"For example, the PK machine gun and the AS gun family that you developed, as well as Sikorsky's helicopter, well, by the way, and the No. 54 project, we are all interested."

Li Xiaofeng was a little amused in his heart, it seems that the British have put a lot of effort into North Industry, otherwise with the secrecy level of Project 54, how could they know.

Li Xiaofeng glanced at Li Erwen and said very calmly: "The production license of the PK machine gun and the AS gun family can be sold to you, on the condition that the patent royalty of each gun ranges from 10 to 5 pounds, and at least 10,000 finished products must be imported from NORINCO." ”

Learwin smiled: "Don't you think this is a lion's big mouth? ”

Li Xiaofeng shrugged his shoulders and said, "Don't you think, when you sold Makqin's production patent to us back then, the asking price was even more outrageous, right?" If you can't afford it, forget it. I'm not short of that little money. ”

Li Xiaofeng remembers it very clearly. Now the British are in the process of selecting a light machine gun. Historically, the Czech ZB-26 won in 1935. So who is better in ZB-26 compared to PK? This is self-evident, whether it is firepower duration, weight and multi-purpose ability PK can be completely defeated.

Moreover, the Red Army has been equipped with PK machine guns for more than ten years, and its maturity is not comparable to that of the ZB-26, at least the PK has been tested by the war and proved its capabilities. In fact, after the British got the PK machine gun from various sources for testing, they also admitted that it was an epoch-making weapon and wanted to imitate it, but the problem of patents limited it to the core. It is useless for the British to do anything.

This time, the British were ready to win PK at a weak price in an open and honest manner, but they didn't expect that Li Xiaofeng was not so easy to fool. Because he didn't even think about selling PK to the British.

Sensing that Li Xiaofeng's attitude was relatively tough, Li Erwen decided to put this topic on hold for the time being, because the importance of machine guns in China is actually like that, and what really interests the country is Sikorsky's helicopter and the mysterious Project 54.

Learvin was instructed to figure out at least one of the two items, and preferably both. In particular, helicopters, according to information obtained from the Japanese through diplomatic channels, are completely different from previous aircraft. It was able to hover in mid-air. To be honest, the British really wanted to find out what the helicopter really was.

Li Xiaofeng shook his head. Pretending to be very confused, he asked, "Helicopter?" Unheard of, at least I've never heard of a similar product from Sikorsky? Where did you get the little news from? ”

This sentence made Learvin cool down by half, and it seemed that buying a helicopter would be useless, but she refused to give up: "Don't pretend, we learned from the Japanese about the Sikorsky helicopter......"

Li Xiaofeng was unmoved, and said indifferently: "Then you can ask Japan to inquire." I can tell you with great certainty that Sikorsky does not have any helicopters! ”

Li Erwen was choked enough, her anger was finally aroused, and she asked angrily: "Then Project 54 also does not exist zài!" ”

Li Xiaofeng spread his hands and said: "Of course there is no zài, it is unheard of at all." Your MI6 intelligence officers are not as good as the generation, and they can be deceived by some false information......"

Li Erwen snorted and walked out of someone's office, she didn't believe someone's nonsense at all: "Immediately send more people, we must penetrate into the highest level of NORINCO, before the end of the year, I must see the full set of instructions about helicopters and Project 54!" ”

"Why don't you sell it to her?" Yakov asked with some curiosity, "With the industrial and technological capabilities of the British, it is very simple to make a breakthrough in helicopters and tanks, right?" We can make a big deal out of this! ”

Li Xiaofeng shook his head and said, "You don't understand. The British are no longer the Britons they used to be! ”

Why? It is true that after the First World War, the British Empire remained the world's leader, leading the world in key technologies (no joke). But for the old tree of the British Empire, it is not so easy to produce new flowers. Because of financial constraints, Britain's defense industry was once very miserable, and after entering the mid-thirties, the once dignified empire of the sun never set actually wanted to import ZB-26 to the Czech Republic, and even the armor steel for the production of George V-class battleships had to be bought from the Czech Republic. It can be seen how lonely the British Empire was at this time.

In fact, the British are ahead in technology, but because of the constraints of old ideas, the British are quite conservative about how to fight future wars. The backwardness of military thinking led the British to naturally not keep up with the development of new weapons. Throughout World War II, there were hardly any weapons that made a splash.

The rifle is a Lee Enfield that can't be beaten by thunder for 10,000 years, the tank unit was firmly stumped by the infantry, and the battleship also made jokes like George V because of lack of money, and the first country to develop aircraft carriers could only use waste wood like the Swordfish for a time, and it was clear that it had enough of the suffering of submarines in World War I, but it fell into the same pit in World War II.

Li Xiaofeng knows very well that the British do not lack technology, what they lack is new thinking, and they just lack a window to open their eyes. It is better to let them remain immersed in the afterglow of the empire and euthanize them in World War II than to open their eyes. Otherwise, with the technical and industrial capabilities of the United Kingdom, it is enough to absorb these advanced technological ideas, and it will soon be innovative.

So it is very necessary to let the British continue to toss in the dark XJB, and it is better to let them rest on their laurels.

"Sue North Industry and related enterprises, further strengthen security work, especially to do a good job of counter-espionage, that woman will not die lightly!"

A spy war is going to break out between Learvin and a certain immortal around the new product of NORINCO, and in the next few years, the KGB will play a cat-and-mouse game with MI6, which will continue until the outbreak of World War II.

However, what Li Xiaofeng didn't expect was that the angry Li Erwen was not so easy to mess with, and he touched a female spy with a gray nose there, and soon used other methods to vent his anger. In late June, when the Red Army and the Kwantung Army were fighting in the dark on the Mongolian steppe, the British began to fight in the dark...... (To be continued......)
