But after thinking about it, Nagata's face calmed down again: "Prime Minister. As far as I know, you never seem to want the United States to participate in the war. Am I right?" Seeing Chang Ruiqing nodding with a smile, Nagata said again: "Then do you have any way to crack this conspiracy? Can you give me some advice?"

It is not a secret that Chang Ruiqing did not want the United States to participate in the war. He reached a tacit understanding with Japan a while ago and stopped fighting against the other side. However, when he heard Nagata's problem, he still had a very strange feeling. He smiled bitterly and said: "Mr. Nagata, to be honest, I don't know much about naval warfare, but with the increasing maturity of aviation technology, it is beyond doubt that naval aviation will become the main force of future naval warfare. This is probably Roosevelt

Is it important reason why I am willing to lease nine battleships to the UK? I heard that Roosevelt also proposed a 'Fleet Expansion Act' and a 'Two Ocean Navy Act', which plans to start construction of 7 and 8 Essex-class (Zhongshan-class) aircraft carriers in the 1934 fiscal year and 1935 fiscal year respectively... Haha, you now have 11 aircraft carriers, are you still afraid of 9 old battleships and battle cruisers? I think you should bear it."

Before Nagata Kiyoshisai left Japan, he went to Wu Jungang Port and Iris Yamamoto, who had just been promoted to commander of the joint fleet, discussed the issue of fighting against the United States. At that time, Yamamoto told him that if Japan could get the planes and pilots promised by the Soviet Union in time, and those planes and pilots were really as excellent as the Soviets claimed, then Japan's advantage of relying on naval aviation was not without the power of a war, but it was just the power of a war. It was impossible to defeat the United States, after all, the navy was more than

What they compete for is heavy industry and national strength. The United States' steel, oil, aluminum, electricity, etc. are ten to dozens of times that of Japan, so the final result must be Japan's defeat. The only hope is that before Japan's defeat, the Soviet Union could defeat Britain, Germany and China. However, Nagata Kiyoshizhai felt that there was little hope, because once the United States became an ally in the fight against Japan, it would definitely not sit idly by and watch the Soviet Union defeat Britain, Germany and China. With the strong industrial strength of the United States as a backing, Trotsky had no hope at all.

And Chang Ruiqing must have seen this, but he still insisted on opposing the United States to participate in the war, which only shows that he is 100% sure to defeat the Soviet Union! In other words, Japan's fate of defeat is already destined, and now he can only do his best and leave it to fate...

Thinking of this, Nagata Kiyoshizai sighed softly: "Prime Minister, now both of our countries are facing the dilemma of being attacked by enemies... Moreover, China and Japan are both Asian yellow ethnic groups. In this era when the Western white ethnic groups rule the world, they should help each other and resist foreign humiliation. At least they should live in harmony. They can no longer kill each other. Therefore, our country's Chairman Takeda entrusts me to come here in hopes of reaching a ceasefire with your country. In this way, your country can focus on fighting Russia in the west, while we, Japan, can concentrate our efforts to fight against Britain and the United States! I wonder what the Prime Minister meant?"

Of course, Chang Ruiqing was not worried about two-line combat. Although the Japanese Navy could still be considered a strong soldier, their army was not worthy of attention now. No matter how powerful the navy was, it would not really threaten the southeast coast. Besides, the Japanese Navy was far from invincible. It was just that there were a large number of aircraft carriers. So after listening to Nagata's suggestion, he didn't say anything, but drank butter tea in one sip.

Okamura Yiji and Kitaichi, who accompanied Nagata, looked at each other. Both of them knew what Chang Ruiqing was planning. Kitaichi smiled and said to Nagata: "Nadaya. If China and Japan reach a ceasefire, will the 700,000 Japanese Red Army stationed in the Far East now withdraw to Karata Island? There will be no dissatisfaction among the Soviets, right?"

Nagata smiled coldly: "Trotsky naturally has to find a way to explain it, so it is unrealistic to withdraw from Huatai Island, but there is no way to be driven back to Huatai Island by the powerful Chinese National Defense Force... After all, the Japanese Red Army Army is weak and even the North Koreans can't beat it, so it's natural to lose to the Chinese Army."

Chang Ruiqing couldn't understand this. Although the Amur River defense line is not as solid as a matter of solidity, it was also managed by the Soviet Red Army for many years, and now there are 700,000 Japanese Red Army defending it. If the Chinese National Defense Force wants to attack, 3400,000 casualties are probably inevitable. If the Japanese are willing to sell their troops, they can have at least 300,000 casualties on their own, and this deal can be done.

But Chang Ruiqing still did not want to let go, but frowned slightly: "Mr. Nagata, I also know that Britain and the United States have no good intentions for our Asian yellow nation, but now we are allies with the British Empire after all. If China and Japan make peace alone, it is a fallen alliance... China will be discredited internationally, and even our war with the Soviet Union will fall into a very unfavorable situation due to the breakdown of the Sino-British alliance. Therefore, I cannot openly sign a peace agreement with the Japanese government, and the secret armistice agreement has no binding force. I believe it is not the result your country wants, right? If you can come up with a solution that is the best of both worlds, then I am willing to reach a de facto ceasefire with your country."

Nagata Kiyoshizhai remained silent and thought for ten minutes before smiling slightly: "Prime Minister, a secret agreement is indeed not binding, and it is not urgently needed by our country." As he said that, he took out a list from his monk's robe's pocket and handed it to Sun Yuexun, who accompanied Chang Ruiqing to attend the meeting. "This list list lists some things that are not important to your country, such as manganese ore sand, copper ore sand, zinc ore sand, tin ore sand, bauxite and native magnesium. If your country can provide some to Japan, the two countries might as well declare and not fight."

Chang Ruiqing took the list and looked at it, and he thought it was in his mind. The other party didn't want much. Apart from copper ore sand, they were all important export commodities for China before the war. It had enough production capacity and it was no big deal to give Japan some. However, the two countries were hostile countries after all, and they could not do business openly. Otherwise, once the secret was leaked, they would definitely be criticized by the Kuomintang and the newspaper industry as a scandal. It was difficult for Yingde to explain. Thinking of this, he gave Sun Yuexun around him a wink, and Sun Yuexun smiled and said, "Mr. Nagata, the major negotiations between the two countries were negotiated at once? Today's achievements are already big enough, so why not just come here first? Anyway, the US and Britain's warship leasing transactions cannot be reached overnight. I heard that the US Navy and Congress have opposed this transaction, saying that it violated the Neutrality Act, so we still have time to discuss it slowly..."

"Prime Minister!"

Before Sun Yuexun finished his words, Chen Xinrui, the deputy chief of Chang Ruiqing, brought Natalie Lesinskaya, the Minister of Science Department of the National Intelligence Administration, and hurried in. Lesinskaya glanced at the Japanese present, and immediately muttered in Chang Ruiqing's ear. Before she could finish her words, Prime Minister Chang's face had changed drastically. He immediately stood up: "Mr. Nagata, Mr. Kita, Mr. Okamura, there are still some mundane affairs to deal with, so I won't be with you... Yuexun, you and Zeng Muhan will be responsible for the future negotiations." After that, he and Chen Xinrui and Natalie left.

...

In the city of Strathir, the "Ha" physicist Renkoyo, who joined the Chinese nationality in 1924, was wearing a nightgown and stood firmly at the window. Looking at the Strathir isotope separation factory, which was still emitting black smoke in the distance, which was the place where he worked and engaged in research. He was one of the most outstanding physicists in Asia of this era, a disciple of Bohr, a famous physicist at the University of Copenhagen, Denmark, and a close friend of Einstein, the director of the German Institute of Wilhelm.

Although he is now the so-called Chinese and ethnic group member, Yoshio Hitoko's motherland is still Japan. Therefore, he rejected the invitation from the China Institute of Physics and chose to stay in Germany. German scientific research institutions under Einstein are engaged in the isotopes of uranium under the leadership of Einstein. It is said that the metal uranium that removes some of the isotopes of uranium 235 and uranium 234 can be used to produce armor-piercing bombs!

However, the cost of removing uranium 235 and uranium 234 is really high. Instead of using this expensive and inconspicuous uranium alloy armor-piercing bomb, it is better to use much cheaper tungsten alloy armor-piercing bombs. At worst, the British gave up on this research very early, while Germany only established a small experimental isotope separation factory. This Stellagi isotope separation factory, and recently there was a rumor that it was about to be closed. But no one expected that at this moment, a mysterious fire and a big explosion occurred in the Stellagi factory!

The warehouse used to pile up refined uranium waste (referring to the higher abundance of uranium 235 and uranium 234) inexplicably broke out inexplicably. It also burned through the protective wall composed of lead plates as thick as one meter. Finally, a big explosion occurred, causing serious radiation leakage accidents and major casualties! If I had not done business in Berlin that day, I would have probably died in that accident now.

But how did this accident happen? Reinhard Heidrich, deputy director of the German Secret State Police (Gestapo), has personally led a team to investigate the case. Everyone working in Strathy, who are still alive, is locked up in this small hotel and is waiting for Gestapo to review Reinhard Heidrich suspected that the GC international spy lurking in Strathyy is making trouble, and as a former Japanese citizen, he is naturally the focus of doubt. Maybe there is still torture waiting for him.

Just as Yoshihiro Renko lamented his bad luck, German quarrels suddenly came outside.

"Mr. Heidrich, I don't think you've figured out that this metal uranium is not a flammable product at all! In theory, it can't burn at all, let alone burn the Stellagis factory like that. It's not a fire or an explosion that can be ignited with a barrel of gasoline!"

"Mr. Hahn, do you mean there are many destructive elements, using many barrels of gasoline?"

"How many tons of gasoline are needed to fry it to that look?"

"Maybe they illegally stored some flammable products in the factory, so they gave the destructors an opportunity to take advantage of!"

"Just kidding, you don't know how strict the management of gasoline is. How much quota is for the Stella Ri factory in a year? This fire cannot be caused by gasoline, there must be other reasons!"

"It doesn't matter, we Gestapo will investigate it clearly!"

"That's not necessarily! Perhaps this fire and explosion was caused by some scientific phenomenon that we have not discovered yet!"

"Scientific phenomenon? Are you talking about what super bomb did the Soviet Union use to blow up the Stellagi factory with the super bomb we don't have?"

"That's impossible. If they really have that thing, they should go to blow up Berlin! Well, Mr. Heidrich, please give me a report to Mr. Himmler or Prime Minister Hitler, and you must strictly block the news of the big explosion in the Stellagi factory. In addition, I need more scientists to investigate this matter. The scientists at the Stellagi factory must cooperate with my work. Please send someone to bring my assistant Ms. Meitner to Stellagi."

"But... Mr. Hahn, I am the leader of the investigation team! You are just the deputy leader..."

"Mr. Heidrich, don't you understand? This accident is likely caused by the metal uranium stored in the Strathy factory warehouse! Under the influence of some unknown scientific phenomenon, dozens of tons of metal uranium that were originally not flammable were burned and exploded, destroying most of the factory and killing hundreds of people... Haven't you linked this accident to the military use of uranium? Perhaps the Tokyo earthquake on September 1, 1923 was related to this phenomenon!"

The Tokyo earthquake was caused by the explosion and burning of uranium! Yoshio Hitoko only felt dizzy.

Have the Chinese already mastered the secret of uranium? The purpose of their cooperation with Britain and Germany in uranium isotope separation research is not to create armor-piercing bombs, but to create uranium bombs! But how is this possible? China is clearly a scientifically backward country!
