"China believes that the colonial system in the world must be destroyed." Wu Xiangyu finally talked about the core issue of this China strategy. As both countries are challenging the British, China is not afraid of the mustache to pass this on to the British. The British will not believe such words when they hear them. For China, the benefits of overthrowing the colonial system are enormous, and the era of globalization is not only emphasized by Marx in the Communist Manifesto, but also the revolutionary practice of the past 30 years has proved that China can greatly benefit from globalization. None of the BJP will reject globalization.

Hitler's attitude towards China was somewhat surprising, his ideal Germany was a continental country that dominated Europe, and destroying the colonial system was the idea of a maritime state, and Germany could not stretch its hand that long now. China's statements prove that their relationship with Britain is absolutely unstoppable. Hitler had no such intentions, believing that it was necessary for Germany to make peace with Britain.

Since Wu Xiangyu talked about this, Hitler could only ask about China's future strategy.

"The excavation of the Kra Canal is a strategic means that China must complete." Wu Xiangyu revealed to Hitler China's recent strategic actions, "Germany has experience in digging modern canals, and I hope that Germany can provide certain engineers in this area." ”

Hitler never played a score, and it was the first time he heard about the Kra Canal, so he asked Wu Xiangyu to tell him about it on a map. Looking at the location of the Kra Canal, Hitler understood China's mind. The strategic location of the Kra Canal indicates China's readiness to weaken the Strait of Malacca. Anyone with a modicum of strategic vision will come to this conclusion. Germany was naturally pleased with this level of action, and the mustache immediately expressed his willingness to provide the engineers of the Kiel Canal to participate in the construction of the Kra Canal in China.

After more than four hours of conversation, Wu Xiangyu determined two things: First, there is no overlap between Germany's strategy and China's strategy. Second, Germany's main direction in the near future is still German domestic issues. Now is not the time to test Germany's future strategy.

What worries Wu Xiangyu the most is that Hitler did not take the initiative to mention the Soviet Union. Hitler didn't mention it, and China didn't ask. Chen Ke had already made it clear that he would not ally with Germany, and Hitler's doing so saved Wu Xiangyu a lot of trouble.

After visiting Germany, Wu Xiangyu went to Moscow. This was quite a polite visit, and it was politically unjustifiable for the Chinese envoy to visit Germany without visiting Moscow. The Soviet Union must have wondered if China had reached some kind of secret treaty with Germany.

Uncle Iron Man was very practical, and he asked Wu Xiangyu this question straightforwardly. China has no other secret cooperation with Germany.

"We are digging the Kra Canal, so we are looking for technical support from Germany in this regard." Wu Xiangyu also replied frankly.

Uncle Iron Man, like Mustache, immediately asked China to point out the location of the canal, and after reading it, Uncle Iron Man questioned: "Does the Chinese side think that this will free them from British control of the shipping lane?" ”

Wu Xiangyu felt a sense of relief in his heart, the excavation of the Kra Canal is a very interesting statement, on the surface China is unceremoniously challenging Britain, but this challenge is similar to the "2B railway" that Germany wanted to build before World War I. What appeared to be an attempt to break free from British control of key waterways was in fact a sign of weakness. At least strategically, if China really wants to solve the shipping channel problem once and for all, it would be better to send troops to attack Singapore and take full control of the Strait of Malacca. In terms of cost, attacking Singapore would cost less than building a canal.

The Chinese intrigue and forced the Kra Canal was only strategically intended to keep China away from Malacca, which was under the full control of the British. After the Chinese ships sailed into the Indian Ocean, they faced British-controlled Burma head-on, and the British Indian Ocean Fleet was not without a hand to Chinese shipping.

Since Uncle Iron Man saw the "real" statement here, Wu Xiangyu readily admitted, "With this canal in our hands, we can have the possibility of playing with Britain." ”

If the world situation changes, China may not be unable to move south to complete its strategy of occupying Australia and New Zealand. That is why China is strategically trying to make other countries think that it would rather spend so much effort on the Kra Canal because it wants to avoid British control. China also did not completely "deceive" Siam. The Chinese are indeed building a railway across the Kra Isthmus to transport oil drums.

Trying to avoid the British presence in Singapore could easily be interpreted as not wanting to go south. It seems that he was a mustache at first, and now Uncle Iron Man has also made the judgment that China has been satisfied with its recent interests in the Netherlands, and only wants to improve China's situation to a limited extent, and does not want to go south to fight Britain.

Wu Xiangyu knew very well that if Britain had to find a way to block the excavation of the Kra Canal, then China would have to fight each other. This is a very interesting thing, if China wants to go to war, it must first avoid war. The deeper reason is that China has the ability to wage war, and it has the ability to win the war. But now the world simply does not realize how capable China really is. Therefore, Wu Xiangyu's answer to the mustache and Uncle Iron Man is based on the other party's speculation about China's true strength, China's real strength is China's hole card, and now is far from the time to lift all the cards.

China and the Soviet Union exchanged views on the recent situation in the two countries, as well as their ideas. After another exchange of views on Germany, the talks ended.

Comrade Stalin did not invite Wu Xiangyu to dinner, and as soon as Wu Xiangyu left the Kremlin, Comrade Berkov, who was in charge of trade with China, took Wu Xiangyu by car to Comrade Berkov's house for dinner.

The dish is Siberian salmon, a half-raw frozen fish, divided into small pieces like cheese cuts, eaten with garlic, tender and very delicious. It is said that the comrades of the CPSU who were exiled to Siberia brought back from there to eat. The liquor is an authentic Russian vodka. After eating and drinking for a while, Comrade Berkov said with a look of regret: "We hope to be able to delay the delivery. ”

Needless to say, Wu Xiangyu knew what the Soviet comrades wanted to postpone the delivery. China's second industrial revolution, the electric age, began later than Tsarist Russia, but the progress was much faster than that of Tsarist Russia. This directly led to the fact that China's technological level in the electric age was higher than that of the Soviet Union.

The scientific research methods of the two sides are also very different; the Chinese have sufficient manpower, and the People's Party has never hesitated to invest in science and technology. The "Science and Technology Tree Project" has spent a lot of manpower and material resources to do several or even a dozen experiments that Europe and the United States have done for hundreds of years. Only after doing these basic experiments can you know what your shortcomings are. During the Great Depression, China desperately imported highly targeted technology and experimental data.

In comparison, the Soviet comrades were more straightforward, they directly imported a large amount of equipment, especially large complete sets. The import of such equipment required a huge amount of money, and the population of the USSR was just over 100 million points, and they simply did not have so many workers available. Seeing that the Soviet Union could not pay off its debts with raw materials. It's not that the Soviet Union didn't want to do it, but it really didn't have the strength to do it.

Uncle Iron Man is a person who does not speak favors, and he will not feel that he owes the Chinese favors. Theoretically, this is true, if China does not force the Soviet Union to repay immediately, then the matter of "materials that need to be repaid immediately" that has expired will naturally be over. Selling favors is a big taboo, that's coercion.

Wu Xiangyu asked, "Then when will it be returned?" Let's re-sign the contract. ”

said it easily, but Wu Xiangyu's heart was not so calm. Chen Ke had long set the tone internally for trade with the Soviet Union, and it was unrealistic to expect the Soviet Union to repay the trade on time and in good quality and quantity. The Chinese industrial sector did not have to count on the credit problems of the Soviet comrades. Believing in the credit of the USSR to repay its debts, it is doomed to be sad.

Facts have proved that Chen Ke did not misunderstand the Soviet comrades, even if Wu Xiangyu showed such sincerity, Comrade Berkov still had a look of regret, "I really can't be sure about this." ”

"Is it uncertain that the Soviet Union's work schedule is full?" Wu Xiangyu asked.

"The schedule for the past two years is full!" Comrade Berkov replied.

"Then there has to be sometime, right? Three years? Five years? Wu Xiangyu asked, as soon as the words came out, Wu Xiangyu understood one thing, and he was a little really dissatisfied in his heart.

"We want to import a batch of Chinese machinery and equipment." Comrade Berkov said with a bitter face.

When the old debt is not repaid, it starts to borrow new debt. Wu Xiangyu looked at Comrade Berkov's bitter face, and probably could think of how depressed he must have been when he received this task. Wu Xiangyu could only reply very seriously: "Comrade Berkov, I think let's go to Zhengzhou to talk about this matter." ”

The Great Depression has not passed, the major powers of the world are trying their best to accumulate strength, and the Soviet comrades are working particularly hard under the leadership of Uncle Iron Man. Even though he knew that this matter was extremely difficult, Wu Xiangyu could understand how urgent the needs of the Soviet comrades were.

By the time Wu Xiangyu returned to Zhengzhou, it was already mid-September 36. After listening to Wu Xiangyu's report, Chen Ke asked: "The Soviet comrades did not mention anything about Spain. ”

"Is it the Spanish Civil War?" Wu Xiangyu heard the news on the radio on the way back to China, and he replied: "The Soviet comrades did not mention it. ”

Chen Ke nodded, "Now there is a new task entrusted to you, we have now reached an agreement with Japan to sell a batch of old machinery and equipment to them, and Comrade Li Runshi and you will be responsible for the handling of things, including transportation and handover." After this matter is done, the two of you will go to Lan Phuong Province to take office. The Organization Department will talk to you in detail about this work. ”

There is a lot of information in these words, and Wu Xiangyu has not fully understood it for the time being. Lee Run-seok is the acting propaganda minister and the one who can attend the Politburo Standing Committee meeting, and Wu Xiangyu is the vice premier. Now the two are going to work in China's overseas provinces. Organizationally, this arrangement is really worth intriguing.

While considering the organizational arrangements, Qi Huishen and Li Runshi arrived, Chen Ke invited everyone to sit down, and then said: "Japan has now reached a critical moment, either the civilian government will overwhelm the military department, or the military department will overwhelm the civilian government. This time, Takahashi is Qing is betting on imported Chinese old equipment, which can be regarded as a poor dagger. ”

Lathes, milling machines, planers, grinding machines, and fitter's equipment are the most important types of machine tools in the mechanical production sector. High-quality machine tools are always on the market. Because these devices are manufactured with high technical content and long cycles. This is not a process of pouring molten steel from a steelmaking furnace and solidifying it into ingots.

The ingots and the metal used are placed for a few years to relieve internal stresses, and then after these machines are manufactured, they are placed for a few more years to relieve the stresses generated during machining. Since he was a child, Chen Ke has seen his parents' machining unit leave many machine tools outside to let the wind and rain blow, and when he was a child, he thought why not sell these "scrap" iron guys for scrap. Later, when he went to college, he realized that it was not like that at all.

Why do we need to make a large hydraulic press, the purpose is to knead the dough like such a huge pressure to process metal materials weighing several tons or even more than ten tons, and solve the problem of metal internal stress through external force. Many of the materials needed in precision machine tool factories were prepared several years ago. Don't look at ordinary machine tools, the production cycle can often reach almost ten years. If the stress is not eliminated, the metal parts will be deformed by heating and cooling in the production process, and the machine tool will be repeatedly maintained and debugged in normal use, which is high-tech work. Breaking a home is worth a lot, and it is by no means a metaphor in the machinery industry.

It also took more than 20 years for the People's Party to accumulate its current belongings, because machine tools and equipment are not good for so long. Now that the BJP has finally broken through many new technologies, including transistors and lasers, new machine tools with higher accuracy are beginning to be available, and these old machine tools also need to be processed. The target of the treatment is Japan.

In recent years, Japan has been imitating China's science and technology tree plan to engage in industrial planning, and industrial planning is very easy to do on paper, and with the combination of theory and mathematics, any kind of magnificent and atmospheric plan can be done. The vast majority of companies in Japan are small, and it is simply not realistic for them to spend a lot of money on equipment. In many home factories in Japan, the ruler is measured in millimeters. The control accuracy depends entirely on the experience and manual work of the workers.

A large number of machine tools with too low precision of the People's Party went directly back to the furnace, and the remaining batch of machine tools with an accuracy of more than 0.2 mm were left useless and abandoned. It's ready to be sold to Japan.

The reason why it was sold to Japan instead of "given" to the Soviet Union was not that Chen Ke was distressed about the money. For example, Chamberlain, the current Chancellor of the Exchequer of the United Kingdom, has engaged in a "rational policy". The British government buys obsolete factories and mines, and the government scraps them. In this way, factories and mines with new equipment have a way out. Relying on this policy, British industry began to get rid of its outdated and backward appearance, and began to be replaced in large numbers.

Chen Ke felt that it was necessary to use his brains in Japan, and the development of productive forces was definitely not a thing of warmth, and that New China had made a fuss in the past, "I would rather have the grass of socialism than the seedlings of capitalism." To put it bluntly, there was still a fierce struggle over the political line within the country. If you just import some equipment and buy some new technology, there will be no such movement at all.

In the midst of fierce internal confrontation, it is likely that the measures that can promote the progress of Japan's productive forces will not lead to an immediate improvement in the Japanese economy, but to a bloody political struggle.

Chen Ke knew that he was in the twilight of his life, and since China had changed, Chen Ke hoped to let the enemies at home and abroad stage a self-defeating drama, and then deeply educate the comrades in the party and even the people of the whole country. Although this practice can be called a loss of conscience, Chen Ke's conscience does not feel condemned.

"What might happen, it's my own imagination. What will really happen, this needs comrades to see and record. This is a valuable resource for the improvement of social sciences in China. Chen Ke finally said.
