On April 3, 1929, a week after the death of the great mentor of the International Communist Party, Feradimir Ilyic Lenin, the car that Chang Ruiqing drove to the front of the newly completed Central China Central Building. This seven-story Chinese-Western building looks very grand from the outside, with a blue Chinese spire and granite on the walls of the building, which looks very solemn. There are two flagpoles about the same height as the building in front of the building, with the flag of the Chinese Federation and the flag of the Chinese GCD., respectively. Chang Ruiqing, sitting in the car, was looking at the half-down Chinese GCD outside the window with a gloomy look.

Zhong G was lowering the flag for Lenin! This was the decision made by the Zhong G Central Committee when Chang Ruiqing visited, and it is said to be in response to the "good intention" of the Soviet Union.

Although in the propaganda of the China G and Greater China federal governments, Lenin and Trotsky were not ranked as the life-and-death enemy of the Chinese nation. But that was just a matter of differentiating the Soviet Union. In the rumor released by the Federal Intelligence Agency, Lenin's confidant Derrensky can now accept China's asylum and not really treat Comrade Lenin as a good person! Therefore, when Chang Ruiqing, who was in Bangkok, decided to respond to the Soviet Union's willingness to reconcile by lowering the flag at half-staff to express condolence to Lenin, he became unconsciously worried.

It’s not because of the unauthorized decision of some people. Having the flag halfway is not a big deal after all, and after the Politburo meeting, he also sent a telegram to ask for opinions from Chang Ruiqing, who was on the visit. What really made Chang Ruiqing worried was that the members of the Politburo in China, except for himself, almost unanimously supported the easing of relations with the Soviet Union!

And those who hold this view are not only the leaders of G among the G brothers of the Soviet GCD. Just now, Chang Ruiqing also exchanged views with Bai Chongxi, the chief of staff of the National Defense Forces, and Wang Junhao, the new commander-in-chief of the Army. These two great masters of the Chang-ranking National Defense Forces also showed insufficient confidence in the Sino-Soviet battle in their words and expressions. According to Bai Chongxi, "Last year, the Soviet Union produced 70% more steel than us, the electricity was 60% more than us, and the oil was ten times more than us, and the automobile,

The output of tractors is twice as powerful as us... Overall, the heavy industry of the Soviet Union is more than twice as powerful as ours, and they only develop the army. The investment in the navy is very limited, and we must pay equal importance to both land and sea. So in wartime, what the Soviet army can get from the Soviet industry will be four times that the Chinese army has obtained from the Chinese industry! Even if we use a quarter of the force to target us, we can fight to the point where we are likely to fall into a protracted war!”

Wang Junhao said bluntly: "...more than 500 million people, more than 10 million square kilometers of land are in our hands. What else can I feel inconsatisfied? Even if I win the battle against the Soviet Union, I will get millions of square kilometers of barren land in Central Asia and Siberia. If I fail, even the country is in danger of collapse. Please think twice before doing it."

In terms of heart, what Bai Chongxi and Wang Junhao said are the truth. There is no doubt that the Soviet heavy industry and military power are powerful. Even compared to the Soviet Union led by Stalin in Chang Ruiqing's memory in his previous life, Trotsky's Soviet Union seemed to be stronger in terms of industrial strength in this time and space. The reason why this situation occurred may be because the duration of the Soviet civil war was shorter than in history, the end of the Soviet military ** earlier, and the relatively moderate political purge in the Soviet Union.

In addition, another great purge that damaged the vitality of the Soviet Red Army was probably not going to happen. Trotsky, who was determined to launch a world revolution to liberate all mankind, is not yet time to play "the rabbit dies and the dog is cooked, and the birds are hidden all over the bow". There are many "crawling rabbits" like Chang Ruiqing, Hitler, and Mussolini, so there is no reason to clean up the Red Army officer class he brought out...

Taking into account all factors, Trotsky's Soviet Union was indeed not easily defeated. If we simply start from the position of consolidating the "Chang Family Dynasty" and avoid the war with the Soviet Union as much as possible.

But the question is, can the tree be quiet, but can the wind stop?

The door of the car opened, and Chang Ruiqing lowered his head and got out of the car. Chairman Mao Zd from China came out to greet him in person. He sat in the seat of the chairman of the Political Council for several years. Mao Zd is much more prosperous than the one who was still in the Soviet area in history, and there are signs of gaining weight in advance.

"Prime Minister, Lenin's funeral has been scheduled for early May. Both Britain, the United States and France plan to send special envoys to Moscow to attend Lenin's funeral. It is said that Germany will also send secret envoys to attend, and by the way, discuss the issue of peaceful reunification of both Germany with Trotsky. Look, should we send people to Moscow?"

Chang Ruiqing nodded and smiled. He shook hands with Mao Zd. He ended his visit to Siam in advance and took a plane back to Nanjing to discuss this matter? He walked side by side with Mao Zd towards the Central Building in Zhongg and smiled: "Of course we have to send people to go. Even the half-mast has been lowered. What's the point of sending people to the Soviet Union to hold a memorial service? However, the level of the delegation visiting the Soviet Union should be considered. By the way, how has the Kuomintang reacted to this matter?"

"I have exchanged views with Chairman Chiang of the Kuomintang a few days ago. He means that although China and the Soviet Union have broken off diplomatic relations for a long time, they are not officially in a state of war. Lenin is the leader of the Soviet state. Out of courtesy, we can send personnel to attend Lenin's funeral, but it is best to send personnel to the name of the Federal Government's Foreign Ministry, rather than in the name of China's GCD."

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

While speaking, the two had already walked into the elevator of the ground building of the Central Building of Zhongg, shoulder to shoulder. This elevator was produced and installed by the branch opened by the American Otis Company in Shanghai. It was very stable when rising and the noise was very small, almost comparable to the elevator that Chang Ruiqing took in later generations. After the iron fence of the elevator was opened, the corridor decorated with high-end wood, carpets and oil paintings appeared in front of Chang Ruiqing. Speaking of which, this was the first time he came to this newly built Zhongg 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. He heard a conversation in Minnan dialect, and then he saw Pan Yucheng and Pan Wenhua and his son hurried over. Perhaps because his grandson was not in the future, the throne of the Chinese Prime Minister, Pan Yucheng looked not very good.

Seeing Chang Ruiqing standing at the door, he shouted loudly: "Prime Minister, you are such a rare guest... Oh, I want to ask, why do we build a large thermal power plant in northern Shaanxi? Is it because there is a modern coal mine invested by China Petroleum Group there? Do you know how much it costs to build a high-voltage transmission line of thousands of kilometers? Why can't we build this super-large thermal power plant in Shanxi, which can save a lot of money! Maybe enough to build a power plant... Also, why should we transfer 30% of the shares of China Power Group to the Mellon Consortium in the United States? The Power Group has just been on track and there is still a lot of room for growth in the future. Even if it is sold at a premium of three times the net assets, it will be a loss-making deal!"

Chang Ruiqing smiled and welcomed his nagging father-in-law into the conference room. He kept complaining: "...The economic situation in the past two years is so good, and the tax revenue has increased so quickly. The government is not short of money at all, so why are we still in a hurry to sell shares of public enterprises? Not only our power group, but also a large number of shares of major companies in public railways, steel, shipbuilding, aviation, automobiles, chemicals and other industries are also being sold. Even the shares of Bank of Communications and Farmers' Bank (controlled by the Fisheries and Farmers' Association) have been sold... Prime Minister. What are you planning? Can't you explain it to me?"

Chang Ruiqing just smiled and listened. There are some things he could only do but not say. For example, the construction of a large thermal power plant in northern Shaanxi was not a whim. Just three months ago, Li Fuji, director of the Chinese Institute of Physics, sent a telegram from London to inform the United Kingdom that the "gas diffuser" used to separate uranium 235 jointly developed by the British Cavendish Laboratory and the Institute of Physics of the German Royal Enemy Institute, had achieved successful tests! So Chang Ruiqing quickly ordered the Military Preparatory Department to open the

The construction of an isotope separation factory was directly responsible for this project. The site selection of the factory was made by Chang Ruiqing himself and chose it in Yan'an County, northern Shaanxi. In order to provide supporting this isotope separation factory, the railway to northern Shaanxi began to be built four years ago. It has been completed and opened to traffic. After the railway was completed, the China Petroleum Group controlled by Chang Ruiqing invested tens of millions of yuan to build a large coal mine in Shenmu County, northern Shaanxi. Construction is being accelerated.

Just a month ago, Chang Ruiqing ordered the Ministry of Social Security and China Electric Power Group to build a large thermal power plant with a total installed capacity of more than 1 million kilowatts in Shenmu County, northern Shaanxi. A thermal power plant with a total installed capacity of more than 1 million kilowatts will not be considered a small factory in the future, let alone now? Once this power plant is completed, the annual power generation will be around 5 billion kilowatts. Last year, the total power generation of all power plants in China was just close to 10 billion kilowatts! Such a large power plant is built in northern Shaanxi, which is sparsely populated, who can the electricity emitted? If it cannot be sold, isn’t it obvious that it will lose its capital? How can Pan Yucheng not be in a hurry?

What can Chang Ruiqing say about this? The nuclear fission phenomenon has not been discovered yet. No one will believe such a thing as an atomic bomb. Of course, if someone believes it, it will not be possible!

As for the reason for the large-scale sale of shares of public enterprises to cash out, it is also unreasonable. Although Chang Ruiqing knew that the Great Depression in history began in October 1929, the history of this time and space seemed to have changed a lot. Events such as China's rise, Germany's revival, China-British and Germany's confrontation between the Soviet Union and Japan and Poland will have a huge impact on the operating cycle of the US economy. Now, Chang Ruiqing, a time traveler, cannot figure out when the Great Depression will begin? However, he decided to reduce his holdings of the company's stocks as much as possible before October 1929, whether owned by the Chinese federal government or controlled by the Iron Blood Comrades Club.

The targets for selling shares are mainly American consortiums with a lot of money and nowhere to spend, such as Morgan consortium, Rockefeller consortium, Mellon consortium, etc. In the past few months, they have purchased shares of large companies worth more than one billion US dollars from the Chinese government and the Iron Blood Comrades Association, and there are plans to further buy large quantities...

By the way, due to the implementation of the Financial Regulatory Law and the establishment of the Financial Regulatory Commission, China's securities market is probably the one with the highest transparency and strictest supervision in the world's securities market. Compared with those listed European and American companies that do not even issue financial statements and are not subject to any external supervision, thousands of companies listed on the Shanghai United Stock Exchange are almost treated as scammers (the original words of a foreign-funded foreign company).

Chang Ruiqing patted his father-in-law on the shoulder. Although his seniority is smaller than that of the other party, this kind of superior attitude seems very natural to everyone. "Pan Gong, some things are really inconvenient to say now. But please believe me, these decisions have been carefully considered."

Mao Zd next to him also persuaded: "Yes, Mr. Pan, can the Prime Minister's decision be uneasy? Under the leadership of the Prime Minister, our country has gone from being poor and deserted, and has surpassed France by 6 million tons of steel last year. There are also several large steel factories that have been newly built and expanded. In another two or three years, it will definitely exceed 10 million tons! If we work harder, maybe within a few years, our main heavy industrial products will produce more than the UK!"

Speaking of the increase in steel production and surpassing the UK, Mao ZD's eyebrows were almost flying. Pan Yucheng shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Runzhi. If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense. Heavy industry construction requires scientific planning and reasonable layout, and cannot be blindly built. For example, building power plants in places like northern Shaanxi is extremely uneconomical..."

Although Chang Ruiqing sat down with a smile and maintained his demeanor, a little impatient appeared in his smile. He coughed gently, interrupting the conversation between Mao Zd and Pan Yucheng. He smiled faintly and said, "Mr. Pan, there is no need to discuss the matter of Shaanxi Power Plant anymore. This is an important and confidential military project and must be implemented! Now let's discuss the subtle changes in the Soviet foreign policy after Lenin's death."

Pan Yucheng frowned. Since it was a confidential military project, China Power Group could only grit its teeth and start. Even if it was a loss in the end, it could only admit it. I just didn't know that the Mellon Consortium that bought the stock of the Power Group would react like this. When he thought of dealing with these foreigners, his brain hurt a little.

At this time, several members of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee walked into the conference room and saw that everyone was here, Mao announced the beginning of the meeting. There was only one thing to discuss at the meeting today, namely the changes in the Soviet foreign policy and China's response.

"I have exchanged opinions with the Prime Minister just now. We must take over the olive branch extended by the Soviet Union, even if there is a trap." Mao zd always had the best spirit when he presided over the Politburo meeting. "The Prime Minister means that this mission to attend Lenin's funeral in the Soviet Union should be sent in the name of the federal government. Comrades, who do you think should be the leader of the mission? Have you volunteered?"

The job of the Soviet Union is not a good deal. It is possible that Sino-Soviet relations will temporarily ease, but they are not much better. If there is another twist in the future, there will be a suspicion of Soviet spies. Although Chang Ruiqing can definitely explain it clearly, it is hard to say what the voters will think. If they cannot be elected as a political commissar, legislator, governor, or mayor, it will be more than worth the loss. Therefore, the Politburo members in the conference room did not say anything.

Seeing that no one was willing to pick it into the fire pit, Mao zd smiled and said, "When visiting the Soviet Union, you must listen to some intelligence, and you have no experience in intelligence work, or are not familiar with the Soviet Union, it may be difficult for comrades who are not familiar with the Soviet Union!" He looked at Chang Ruiqing and said, "Prime Minister, I suggest that the intelligence department send people to the Soviet Union."

"I agree with the Chairman's opinion," Li Dazhao has always been a supporter of Mao ZD. He said: "It's better to let the intelligence director Zhang Guotao personally take action. He was a guard of Comrade Lenin and was also a famous Lenin general when he was in the Soviet Union."

Chang Ruiqing glanced at him and thought that Zhang Guotao might just go to the Soviet Union and beat the dog with meat buns! Although Trotsky would not openly take action, it would be a piece of cake to create any accidents?

"Zhang Guotao is not convenient for him to come forward, so Zhong Zhijie is better. He has been the head of the China G G C International delegation and is familiar with Moscow." Chang Ruiqing thought about it and pushed out Zhong Zhijie, who is now the stationmaster of the Central Asia Station of the Intelligence Bureau.

No one in the conference room opposed this candidate, so even if it was passed. Chang Ruiqing continued: "I don't know how comrades viewed the transformation of the Soviet foreign policy after Lenin's death, but I firmly do not believe that Trotsky would change the line of the world revolution because of Lenin's advice and what will he testament before his death. And even Lenin himself may not necessarily oppose Trotsky's world revolutionary line. What the Soviet GCD implemented was a policy of forcibly exporting the revolution to the whole world. In this regard, Trotsky and Lenin had no difference. I think the current transformation of the Soviet Union must be a conspiracy, and a big conspiracy! We must be vigilant!"

After hearing Chang Ruiqing's statement, the members of the Politburo at the meeting frowned slightly, and they did not seem to have expected that Chang Ruiqing's determination to fight the Soviet Union would be so strong. It seemed that there was no room for negotiation.
Chapter completed!
