At the end of the foothills of Xiaoxishan Mountain, east of the Ministry of National Defense in Xishan, Beijing, there is a three-story European-style villa with a wide area. The fence outside the villa is surrounded by barbed wire, but there is no sign in sight inside and out. The surrounding scenery and spacious gardens make it seem like the private villa of a wealthy man, but in fact it is one of the largest and most secret departments of the Republic of China, the State Strategic Intelligence Administration.

This is a very complex and sophisticated department, which is directly subordinate to the leadership of the Presidential Administration and the General Staff. It has no control over how many people, how it operates, or how many agencies it has under it, even the National Assembly and the Prime Minister's Office, and it consumes more money each year than the National Security Agency and the Military Intelligence Agency combined.

Compared with his well-dressed and serious colleagues, Gu Yuwen, who was full of messy hair, sat in the office like a down-and-out grass chicken, with a short stature, a wrinkled coat, and bloodshot eyes. The middle of the two telephones, one red and one black, was a mess of papers, each of which was densely packed with numbers and formulas. After completing the American mission, he was recruited into the Economic Section of the Strategic Intelligence Agency, which, unlike other departments, was experts in mathematics and economics, and his main work was to obtain economic data through external and confidential channels, analyze the economic and strategic trends of various countries, and then submit them to the President and the General Staff for reference.

From tracking the economic crisis of the capitalist countries, to the first five-year plan of the Soviet Union, to the recent Holodomor in Ukraine, all the information related to the economy is sent here for analysis on a priority basis. With Roosevelt taking office, keeping an eye on the U.S. economy has become a top priority.

"Section chief, this is just received." The girl with short hair and uniform walked to the table, looked at the messy desk and smiled, put the new documents in front of Gu Yuwen and began to tidy up the table for him, chattering: "You are always like this, can't you clean up?" ”

The girl's name is Yao Hong, who joined the Intelligence Bureau as a secretary of the Economic Section two years ago, and was pursued by many male colleagues because of her sweet appearance. But the little girl has a soft spot for Gu Yuwen, who has the nickname of "Gu Nerd". But the idiot didn't feel anything, looking at the new information pressed in front of him, and even a little dazed: "What is this?" ”

Yao Hong was also strange, there was no trace of loss on his face, and he said while cleaning up the table: "It's a message from Haihua Company." "The predecessor of Haihua Company was the American Zhigongtang, after the rapid rise of the national society. Borrowing Miao Luo's relationship, Yang Qiu carried out a major reform of the Zhigong Court. Some of them have become the backbone of the overseas forces of the National Society. The other part was incorporated into the Haihua Company, and even Zhuang Meisheng, who is currently the chairman of the Sino-Dutch Free Trade Zone in West Borneo, is a member of the Haihua Company.

The General Directorate of Strategic Intelligence is mainly responsible for the analysis of strategic intelligence of various countries, and it is in urgent need of offshore forces, so it is natural that this unique opportunity will not be this unique opportunity, and after 20 years of hard work, the power of Zhigongtang will be gradually used to reach all parts of the world. At present, Haihua Company is only a branch of the Strategic Intelligence Bureau, mainly relying on them to obtain economic information and use money and other means to control foreigners.

Gu Yuwen is not a novice, of course, he knows that Haihua Company is the main source of intelligence for his department. So immediately check out the file. Yao Hong also took the opportunity to clean up the table and introduced the content inside: "Most of them are transferred from the New York station. The first piece of news, the old Gilbert Jew, said that during this period, Roosevelt's economic advisers frequently visited Morgan and other families, and asked about gold reserves one after another. Gilbert Sr. said there was a recent rumor in the Jewish consortium that the U.S. government had received $6.5 billion worth of overseas orders. President Roosevelt was ready to give them all this order. ”

"$6.5 billion order: U.S. economic recovery plan announced?" Gu Yuwen was taken aback by this number. It's not that the amount is huge, it's that he hasn't received any proposals for a U.S. economic recovery plan before. Since the plan has not even come out, the US government has taken such a large order.

"No, the intelligence says that there is still a dilemma, mainly because the price of gold is high, and bank lending has completely lost its credit value, and it is necessary to control the price of gold and silver to restore the credibility of the financial industry. But one thing is for sure. Half a billion dollars of this order came from Asia! Yao Hong is worthy of being the secretary of the Economic Section of the Strategic Intelligence Bureau, and when it comes to economic issues, even her pretty face becomes serious. "The Foreign Affairs Section has also monitored that the Mississippi paint factory has been operating frequently recently, and that the entry and exit of U.S. soldiers and vehicles has doubled than usual. ”

Yao Hong's introduction made Gu Yuwen feel a little bad. The Mississippi Pigment Factory is the designated ink manufacturer for dollar printing, and it is heavily guarded and cannot penetrate, so the Department of Intelligence uses the analysis of incoming and outgoing movements to analyze, although this cannot be 100% accurate, but the more special personnel enter and exit, it generally means that more printing materials are pulled and transported. But this is not the main thing, the root of this round of economic crisis lies in the contradiction between the market and deflation, and turning on the money printing machine is something that every country must do, as long as the price of gold and silver is straightened out, there is no problem. The real question is that Roosevelt's economic recovery plan has not yet been introduced, so where did he get the order without Congress reviewing it? And it's also an overseas order! With such a large amount, even China and the Soviet Union may not be able to eat it all in one go, how can it be thrown to the Jewish family? What exactly was Roosevelt's idea under this order? Half a billion is already definitely from Asia.

"Suffered!"

Thinking of this, Gu Yuwen's face changed suddenly, and he grabbed Yao Hong's hand and asked, "Where is the director?" ”

The pain on the back of her hand made the girl stunned, and she hurriedly said, "I went to Tianjin to accompany the president to receive the US Secretary of State." "Quick, call them to get a car ready!" I'm going to Tianjin soon. Gu Yuwen didn't say a word, grabbed the document and ran out, and when he passed by, he hit the little girl and almost fell.

When Yao Hong endured the pain in her shoulder and picked up the phone, the Gu nerd at the door reacted and shouted, "I'm sorry, I'm too anxious." "Nope." Yao Hong was about to say that it was okay, but he couldn't be seen at the door, and he didn't know what to remember, so he picked up the phone with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth

．

Here comes the US Secretary of State. Many people have forgotten that this is the first U.S. secretary of state to visit, but no one has ever made China the second stop on his trip to Asia. This subtle change has made European and American ambassadors and journalists in China smell a little strange, and it has also made the future situation in the Far East even more confusing. But no one knows that in fact, the two hard-line politicians across the Pacific Ocean have already made their choice and have quietly completed their first encounter.

Although Huddle made Japan his first stop, Yang Qiu gave him a high level of hospitality, personally traveled to Tianjin and opened up the Beijing-Tianjin experimental high-speed rail project under construction. Under the scorching sun, technicians are directing workers to lay steel rails, which require high precision in laying rails, and the entire railway is completely isolated from the outside with barbed wire.

High-speed rail is a new technology that is being developed in Europe and the United States. Among the standouts are Italy and France. In order to catch up with the pace of the world, the Beijing-Tianjin experimental high-speed railway project was built in 1931, preparing to use domestic high-horsepower diesel internal combustion engines, using streamlined 6-car formations, and the design speed is expected to reach 220 kilometers per hour. It's not unusual to be an experimental railway, but it can be seen after 20 years of high-speed construction. The determination and courage of China's industry to transform from quantity to quality. This made Herder, who came to the Far East for the first time, and the accompanying US officials and reporters secretly surprised, and constantly recorded this railway with photos, which condensed the determination of the Chinese to catch up with the world with speed.

The engineer excitedly introduced the details of the railway construction to Hurdl and Yang Qiu, and the reporters gathered around to take pictures of the two walking side by side on the tracks and negotiating with each other. This lively scene makes people seem to forget the purpose of Heddle's trip, only Chen Haohui in the distance is sitting in a wheelchair, not interested in this false excitement, but looking at Heddle's back thoughtfully.

"Director."

A shout interrupted his thoughts, and Gu Yuwen hurriedly jumped out of a black car and walked towards him. Chen Haohui liked this young man who was very good at the economy, and when he saw that he had always been dull, he was in a hurry, and his brows furrowed suddenly. Asked directly, "What's the matter?" Although Gu Yuwen was anxious. But he also knew that there were many people here, so he pushed Chen Haohui back into the car, and asked several intelligence department partners to block their vision before telling the information they received.

"Half a billion dollars, Asia?!" Chen Haohui was also taken aback by this number. 500 million US dollars is really not a small amount, you must know that the total amount of investment in Saudi Arabia by the Republic of China is only 3 billion US dollars, if it is used to build battleships. That's 12 ships to build! And the most surprising thing is that this order is actually from Asia! It is certainly impossible to do it in China, after the big purchase in 1930, there have been basically no major foreign orders in the past few years, and there are only a few countries back and forth in Asia, and the countries that can eat such large orders are only Japan in addition to the Republic of China!

"I had already ordered to verify the accuracy at all costs before I came out, and if the United States did provide Japan with a secret loan of $500 million, then Japan would recover much faster than we expected. There must have been some secret agreement between Japan and the United States that we have no way of knowing! On the other hand, it also shows that Roosevelt's economic recovery plan has actually begun, and he deliberately circumvented the restraint of Congress and used the credit of the US government as collateral to let Morgan and other consortia come forward to grab overseas orders at any cost. According to my estimates, it is likely that the money will be distributed among Japan, Germany and the Soviet Union. Because these three countries are the countries that the United States is most likely to support. In addition, I suspect that Morgan must have made a deal with Roosevelt, otherwise it would not have been possible to get such a large single offshore contract, and in my opinion the United States would probably be going to sell it in gold! It cannot be ruled out that Roosevelt would ask the big American conglomerates, Japan and the Soviet Union to work together to calm down the price of gold in the United States by providing loans to the three countries. ”

"Providing funds for the construction of 12 battleships, and also allowing Japan and the Soviet Union to help stabilize the price of gold in the United States?!" Even if he doesn't know much about economics, Chen Haohui also has a chill in his heart. If this is true, this Roosevelt's calculation ability is probably no worse than Yang Qiu!
