Chapter 23: 23 Big Shots

"Comrade Khrushchev! It was the order of General Tukhachevsky to bring German friends here!" What do you have to question?" Valshilevsky said with some dissatisfaction, looking back at his men.

"Even without the help of the capitalists, we can produce our own tanks!!" Khrushchev retorted loudly.

Khrushchev: This is the famous Nikita, Sergeyevich, Khrushchev, Accardo felt that his head was a little overwhelmed.

Two days ago, he was only more than 100 meters away from Lenin and Stalin's offices; yesterday he sat at a negotiating table with General Tukhachevsky, a famous military strategist in Soviet history; today he met with another leader of the Soviet Union, Nikita Khrushchev; and in a few days he will rush to China to meet another historical bigwig in Guangzhou -- is this a big dinner for historical celebrities? This cast is also a little too luxurious, and it has the feeling of a blockbuster.

"Hello, Mr. Khrushchev, no one doubts the wisdom and competence of the Soviet people, but if there is German assistance, you will save a lot of time, won't you?

"Hmph!" Obviously, Mr. Khrushchev, who has just been 29 years old this year and has not yet entered the Moscow Institute of Technology, does not yet have the mature political skills that he had after 1929, but now he has only a passion for the Bolshevik cause: "You are all the watchdogs of the capitalists!"

Accardo was tempted to say to Khrushchev: You are nothing but a watchdog of Bolshevism! And unfortunately, you are still a watchdog destined to be abandoned in the future!

But he didn't say anything, just cracked his mouth and smiled at the translator Brooke on the side, not taking this reckless young man in his eyes - in fact, the current Accardo was just over 23 years old, not as old as the current Khrushchev.

"Comrade Khrushchev! Shut up! Accardo is an important guest of Comrade Lenin and Comrade Stalin! If you sabotage the revolutionary cause, what will you use to explain to the people?" Lieutenant Colonel Polov frowned and reprimanded: "Go back to your post! Otherwise, I will write to Comrade Stalin and ask him to send you to Siberia to work as a miner!"

Varshilevsky also helped on the side: "You have gone too far! Khrushchev! Go back and write me an examination! Submit it to the party organization before leaving work tomorrow! I want to see your profound reflection on the examination!"

"Okay! Don't scare our workers. "I think I also have a deep understanding of the industrial base of the Soviet Union, and I still have important things to do, so I won't delay, and I will leave Moscow by train early tomorrow morning." ”

Khrushchev wanted to say something, but he was already being dragged away by two colleagues, who just turned his head and stared at Accardo viciously.

The next day, Accardo packed his bags and prepared to leave the Kremlin for the train station outside Moscow.

On the train, in the separate box of Accardo and Brooke, Accardo opened his special paper bag with a combination lock and looked through the cooperation agreement signed inside. This time, he did not come to the Soviet Union in vain, but took with him a full 12 agreements in various fields, including the Soviet Union's supply of 400 million kilograms of rice, 200,000 head of cattle, 5 million barrels of fuel oil, and the joint venture between Moscow and Berlin to build a railroad track.

Although Britain was somewhat dissatisfied with allowing the Soviet Union to get some of the benefits, it thought that it would not lose face for Germany to make a match, and that it had curbed Japan's arrogance in the Far East, and that it had also received the benefits of 250,000 barrels of fuel for nothing, so it acquiesced in the cooperation between Germany and the Soviet Union, because the British were kept in the dark about most of the cooperation of the German Wehrmacht.

Britain did not know that Germany was secretly training aviation and armored forces in the Soviet Union, nor did it know that Germany was secretly assisting the Soviet Union in building its own heavy industry, and even less that the Wehrmacht was secretly building factories in the Soviet Union to produce artillery shells and artillery.

Finally leaving the Soviet Union, Accardo saw the steppe on the train and the yellow Asians driving their flocks on both sides of the railway.

Moreover, Accardo found that with the stop of the train, the passengers on the train also changed, and the number of yellow people gradually increased on the train that was originally all Cossack white, and after the latest stop, it was obvious that there were more yellow people on the train.

And with the clatter of train wheels hitting the railroad tracks, Accardo heard them all communicating in Chinese.

Accardo pushed Gehr, the guard who was sleeping in a mess next to him, and motioned him to wipe the saliva from the corner of his mouth, and before Accardo sent Gehr to ask where the train was, Accardo's interpreter for this trip, Brooke, the interpreter of the Wehrmacht Logistics Department, came from not far away, sat back in his seat, and said to Accardo: "Sir, we are in China. ”

"Who is this?" Accardo vaguely felt that the handsome yellow-skinned bald man in front of him was familiar, but he didn't recognize him rashly.

This is the representative of the Chinese government, the personal special adviser of Mr. Sun Yat-sen, Mr. Chiang Kai-shek. The interpreter respectfully introduced.

"Oh! Uncle Yang Damin (Jiuyang Daimyo)!" Accardo said a sentence in Chinese in his changed voice: "Jiang Xianshen, I hum and drink tired rice (guess for yourself, I won't translate it)." ”

Chiang Kai-shek stretched out his hand to shake hands with Accardo, and then said with a smile: "I didn't expect that Mr. Accardo speaks Chinese so well, and he must know China very well, and I welcome Mr. Lieutenant Colonel to China." ”

Accardo smiled and changed back to German: "Mr. Jiang is smiling, I just casually flipped through the dictionary and learned a few words temporarily." ”

"Lieutenant Colonel Accardo is a friend of our Chinese people, and also a friend of my Jiang someone, at least our party is very grateful to Mr. Lieutenant Colonel for the excellent weapons provided. Chiang Kai-shek politely accompanied Accardo to the reception room. Said with a smile.

"Mr. Chiang, I think our interest in curbing Japan's development in the Far East is the same, and our economic and trade interests in the Far East are also the same, since we are all the same in terms of core interests, then we are friends, right?" said Accardo with a smile.

Brooke, the interpreter, spoke to Chiang Kai-shek, who was listening.

Chiang Kai-shek nodded after listening: "Lieutenant Colonel Accardo, the Ming people don't say secret words, Germany is willing to support the Kuomintang government, and open up the international situation for our party government, and send the most urgently needed arms and materials, we are grateful, and we are willing to secretly pay the price you offered." But can you give us a better price?"

"I can give another 10% of the price on the surface, but the cost in the dark can't be less! You know what I'm busy for!

"You are such a generous man, Lieutenant Colonel Accardo! I think this trip to China will be worth it! Come on, remit the funds to the bank account designated by Accardo. Chiang Kai-shek achieved his goal and laughed and invited Accardo to drink with him.

Accardo counted on a slightly stronger China to hold the Japanese back, and China counted on the help of the Germans to resist the oppression of the Japanese, and the two sides hit it off.

first met Khrushchev, a big man in the future, and then met Chiang Kai-shek, a generation of Chinese heroes, and Accardo really had a feeling of gaining a lot. Of course, if possible, Accardo would even like to take a look at ****** and shake hands with the legendary figure who went from teacher to national leader.

Of course, this wish may be a little unrealistic, because at this time, the middle school teacher has just finished a meeting on the cruise ship, and the newly born China* can be said to be still in its infancy, and it does not have the strength to call for wind and rain in the future.

What they don't know is that Accardo not only brought back $10 million in arms orders for Britain, not only brought back $40 million in arms business for German military enterprises, but also secretly received almost $17 million in "bribes" from Chinese and Americans.

So Accardo ended the trip and, with a smug expression, boarded a ship bound for India, from where he would cross the Suez Canal to the Mediterranean, from where he would return to Germany.

The journey was not very short, but it was not very long, and in order to avoid the Japanese spies who were everywhere in China, Accardo deliberately did not go to the German consulate in China, but secretly got on the ship from the British-occupied Hong Kong, like a soft feather, without alarming any dust.

However, in the calm early years of 1922, he used his thin wings to whip up a devastating international storm, and on New Year's Day on January 1, 1922, the first German munitions were loaded onto ships in the port of Hamburg and sailed out of the harbor escorted by British destroyers. What even the British didn't know was that at the same time, 300 large-caliber howitzers from the First World War that Accardo had hidden in the southern mountains, along with 90,000 rounds, were secretly loaded in East Prussia and transported by rail to ancient China, where warlords were fighting.

The Germans borrowed the British design of small tanks and were ordered by Accardo to start secret production, and these miniature tanks equipped with only two machine guns were sold directly to Chiang Kai-shek's Chiang Chung-cheng, who was secretly preparing for the force. And the economic source of this Mr. Jiang is the American bigwigs who stand on the same economic front as Accardo to make money.

Because of Accardo, Chiang Kai-shek received the support of the United States earlier, and also received more financial aid, and will become a super general under Sun Yat-sen earlier, and replace Sun Guofu as China's hot leader earlier.
