When Marin volunteered to go to Surabaya, Yang Qiu had already set foot on American soil, taking a train to the Great Lakes region, the heart of American industry.

This visit was different from the past, Yang Qiu received almost president-standard treatment, not only Secretary of State Kellogg went to San Francisco for the first time to accompany the whole process, but also sent a special train for him to use. Since it coincided with the sensitive period in the South Seas, the US government specially provided two high-power wireless transmitters for its communication with China. But for the sake of secrecy, the guard has repeatedly considered using domestic radio stations.

In terms of electronic technology, the Republic of China is quite a level even if it cannot surpass Europe and the United States, and several major groups and Longmeng have joined the China Electronic Communication Technology Research Center set up in Nanjing, not only to study radio and radio communications, but also to study a series of new technologies such as radio and radio ranging. However, even if there are drawings, it is not possible to build a radar immediately, even the most rudimentary first generation, because a series of problems such as electron tube technology, heat dissipation technology, and electronic signal processing after the radar beam return are still being studied. However, these studies have brought benefits to radio applications, and the result has been an increase in the level of self-produced radio, and significant advances in wireless broadcasting and radio technology in the provinces.

The United States and China are at the same latitude, and the temperature in the cabin decreases significantly after entering the north. Early in the morning, the future first lady sat next to her in an overcoat and glasses to check the activity schedule. After participating in the Chinese Women's Rights and Interests Committee initiated by Mrs. Pei De, Miao Luo's temperament has changed a lot, and her gestures reveal a mature and intellectual demeanor that is very different from that in China.

Yan Yuqiu, who was sitting opposite, was wearing a coffee-colored work suit, with an old-fashioned black briefcase next to him. From time to time, he muttered a few words to Miao Luo, as if he was discussing something.

As soon as Yang Qiu got up, he saw that the two women were already busy, and hurriedly poured two cups of hot milk and put them on the table: "What are you muttering early in the morning?" ”

"Thank you, Vice President."

Miao Luo was still very worried about the little girl's sweet voice, took off her glasses and gouged Yang Qiu's eyes while she was not paying attention, before she picked up the teacup and covered her hands and said: "I am about to go to Chicago, President Coolidge's wife invited me to participate in anti-child labor activities in Chicago, visit the work of female workers, and finally go to the local farm to express condolences to ordinary people." That's a lot of stuff. ”

Miao Luo's tone was filled with a small complaint, as the future first lady, she had a lot of work on this trip, and after finishing speaking, she picked up a purchase list and handed it to Yang Qiu: "This is the equipment that Zhang Taiyan asked me to buy and the quotation sent from the United States." I'm discussing it with Yuqiu, and you can help us get an idea. ”

"This chapter is crazy, the idea is to hit my wife." Yang Qiu was secretly amused. Zhang Taiyan, the Minister of Education, is still very competent. In particular, the implementation of Chinese studies, the popularization of Chinese pinyin, and the national unified Chinese education have achieved very good results, but the "skin" is too thick! When he reached out to ask for funds, even Yang Qiu had a headache, and he used any trick to mess around. Once, in order to raise funds for the expansion of Jinan University, he actually took the lead in leading students to protest at the gate of the Shandong Provincial Assembly, and thousands of students surrounded the Provincial Assembly for three days and three nights. Seeing that the annual budget had been exceeded, the provincial council, which had no money, finally had to beg grandpa and grandma to summon the squires to scrape together 1 million.

Originally, it was a loan to the Ministry of Education, but after thinking about it, he kicked the Shandong Provincial Government away, refused to admit that it was a loan, and led the students to send plaques and pennants of "government support for education".

"Minister Zhang asked his wife to purchase a fine mill. He plans to use this to make fish bone meal, saying that fish bone meal contains a lot of nutrients, and adding it to meals can strengthen the national student system. However, the particles of domestic and European mills are too coarse, and only the United States has fine mills. Yan Yuqiu introduced it beside him, but Yang Qiu frowned secretly when he saw it.

Fish bone meal does boost calcium. Europe and the United States have also long had fish bone meal processing, but it is not easy to achieve human absorption. However, it is good that the Ministry of Education can have this idea, and now that the financial resources are difficult, only wealthy areas in the country can provide free lunches for schools, and most villages cannot do this, if students can be provided with a free packet of fish bone meal or nutritious canned fish every day, it will be much less stressful than the national lunch. After all, the price of marine fish is extremely low these days.

But purchasing a few hundred units at a time was too boring, so he quickly returned the list to Miao Luo: "We can't let the government do everything, otherwise we will go bankrupt sooner or later." That's fine, you reduce the number of purchases by 7 percent, add two canned fish production lines, and when you return to China, you find a crazy man to give the equipment to a reliable private factory, and then ask the Ministry of Education to use the bidding method to advertise the purchase of fine fish bone meal and canned fish in all newspapers across the country, and make this factory up. As long as the momentum is built up, and then the supply is insufficient, people will naturally come to do this business. It will not take two or three years, and it will not only solve the demand but also drive the coastal fishing industry. ”

"Hmph, you have a lot of ghost ideas, I'll think about it again." Unexpectedly, Yang Qiu solved the trouble by dividing five by two, and also drove the coastal fishing industry and fish processing industry, Miao Luo also sighed that his method was better. But the mouth refused to admit defeat, and after snorting, he pulled back the list and revised it, but hung him aside. Yan Yuqiu also hid her mouth and laughed secretly, and studied how to handle this matter with Miao Luo.

Before Yang Qiu could say that the two women crossed the river and demolished the bridge, Xu Xiujun and Gu Weijun, the ambassador to the United States, walked in. Seeing the two of them, he hurriedly greeted them and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Compared with the early days of the southwest, the unexpected death of his wife Tang Baoyue made Gu Weijun mature a lot. For many years, he has made great efforts to promote cooperation between China and the United States, and under his propaganda and leadership, a large number of Americans and enterprises have begun to re-understand the ancient East. After saluting Yang Qiu, he handed over the revised itinerary of the visit: "President Coolidge has confirmed that he will hold a welcome dinner for you at the White House in seven days, and then we will go to New York together." During this period, he also attended the United States Wall Street Business Association and the US Press Defense Meeting, which was the itinerary. ”

Xu Xiujun then took out the domestic telegram he had just received: "This is a briefing on the Borneo negotiations, and the British and Dutch once again explicitly refused to give autonomy to the Chinese in West Borneo. But Japan has already promised to support us. It was also agreed that the premier would reaffirm the "Sino-Japanese Peace Treaty" and promote the grain for export agreement when he visited Tokyo early next month. ”

Yinghe clearly refused, not to Yang Qiu's surprise, and it was impossible to open it unless it was absolutely necessary. In order to get this special case, it is necessary to completely mess up the entire East Indies, forcing the British and Dutch to be overwhelmed. Xu Xiujun also knew this, and continued: "Ziqing said that the East India side has basically been deployed. It depends on when this fire will burn and how big it will burn! ”

Yang Qiu nodded.

The Great East Indies Rebellion of 1926 is very famous in the parallel world, and its scale is second only to the National Revolutionary Movement and the Rice Riot in Asia. However, the revolution was finally strangled due to insufficient armed forces, and the East Indies GC League disappeared for two decades.

Now it depends on whether Ma Kui and them can make up for this shortcoming, but the United States is also a factor that cannot be ignored. Because the United States is also facing a national independence movement in Luzon, if the United States also joins the British and Dutch sides, the situation is still not optimistic, so he turned his head and asked Gu Weijun: "What is the reaction of the United States during this time?" ”

Gu Weijun said: "The U.S. government has a conservative attitude towards our actions to protect overseas Chinese, and while condemning us for creating tension in the South China Sea, it also says that it is the responsibility of governments to protect overseas Chinese, and that Britain and the Netherlands should not treat this action as a hostile act and intercept it." I think they probably wanted to wait for President Coolidge to meet with you before making it clear. However, there are many voices in the business community and Wall Street who sympathize with us, and many people believe that if a war breaks out in Asia, it will destroy their interests in our country and lead to regional instability, and they also believe that this is a powerful act of the British government to maintain hegemony and suppress the world.

Many U.S. dignitaries are worried. The intensification of the confrontation in the East Indies or the outbreak of war led to the widespread workers' and peasants' movement in the South Seas and the spread of the GC International to the region. ”

Yang Qiu touched his nose and said with a smile: "Are they worried that more than two billion investments will be wasted in the fight?" But that's fine, we don't have to bother with words. Since they are also worried that the GC International will accelerate its penetration and lead to a large-scale workers' and peasants' revolution in the South Seas, what are we waiting for? ”

In the words of what Yang Qiu was waiting for, Xiao Jinyun arrived in Surabaya with two hundred "militants" of the Malayan Islamic guerrillas.

Surabaya is the most complex region of the East Indies. Even more chaotic than Borneo, the United States, Britain, the Netherlands, France, China and Japan and other forces you can think of can be seen here, the largest of which is the Islamic League except for the Netherlands.

The Islamic League of the East Indies was a loose organization, mainly composed of indigenous sultans and religious powers, and the Dutch colonizers adopted a heavy-handed policy towards religion after their arrival, resulting in the vast majority of its followers living below the poverty line. Livelihood from cultivation and handicrafts. The Chinese monopolized the sale of goods, Europe and the United States wantonly dumped in the East Indies, and Japan engaged in prostitutes in the local area, and so on, all of which they regarded as evil forces, and often launched terrorist acts and clamed for jihad at every turn. So except for the United Kingdom, which is relatively moderate towards Islam, other countries do not like these religious extremists.

After arriving in Surabaya, Xiao Jinyun met the liaison sent by Zhuang Meisheng. To his surprise, both of them fled from Lanfang to Java for refuge that year. Fearing continued massacres, they gritted their teeth and converted to a powerful sect, hoping to rely on religious protection from destruction, similar to the early Hui people in history.

Xiao Jinyun's religious identity is fake, and his brothers are also fake, they have no interest in religion, but they just use this identity to cover up their actions. The two liaison officers did not know their identities, but thought they were really friends from Malaya, so they introduced him to the local customs in Malay.

Those who survive in Nanyang have a good talent for languages, with a mix of Malay, Indonesian, English and Mandarin, and some even speak German, French and Portuguese. Under the deliberate temptation, the half-baked Malay mixed with English communication allowed Xiao Jinyun to gradually understand the general situation of the Islamic League.

Soon, the two of them arrived with him and a few bodyguards to an ordinary tribe on the outskirts of Surabaya, which looked like most of the indigenous tribes, hunting and planting cassava for a living, full of half-naked natives, men carrying javelins and broadswords, women walking around generously naked, and occasionally seeing worshippers praying in wooden huts.

In the deep jungle of the tribe, Xiao Jinyun met Abdullah al-Hawad, the leader of the Islamic guerrillas. He is about forty years old, with broad lips and a dark face. He also wore two pistols at his waist. The mullahs and imams who had come from all over the world were sitting around, and on the far left there were several young people dressed as students, led by men wearing traditional white hats and looking handsome, who were the Sukarno of the intelligence department's attention.

Just in case, Xiao Jinyun didn't look at Sukarno much, and took everyone to greet everyone with Islamic etiquette before sitting opposite everyone.

The mastery of Islamic etiquette and the Malay language made the heads of the East Indian Islamic League unconsciously less suspicious. They were all devout believers, and they took it for granted that joining Islam meant that one must not betray them, but Sukarno took a few more looks. But soon he also gave up on inquiry.

Because now he can only be said to be a revolutionary theoretician with great influence, and he is not a real leader, and it is Hawad who leads the Islamic League. After seeing Xiao Jinyun sit down, he saluted and thanked him first. Only then did he ask slowly: "Respectful Asa (Xiao Jinyun's pseudonym), thank Allah for bringing you to us, may I ask if there is anything you have done this time?" ”

"It was Allah who called me here, and when I heard that there was a confrontation between China and the Netherlands, I thought it was a good opportunity to rescue the believers and uphold the authority of Islam." Xiao Jinyun's speech speed was very slow, and every word he said had to be repeated in his head.

Before Xiao Jinyun's arrival, Havard, Sukarno and others had already begun to study the opportunity to launch a campaign to overthrow the colonists, but they were unable to decide whether to do it internally. When Sukarno heard that Xiao Jinyun had come to support the overthrow of the colonial movement, his eyes lit up, and he seemed to see hope for the independence movement. He said, "Dear Isa, do you think this is a good opportunity too?" ”

As soon as he heard the tone, Xiao Jinyun secretly said that there was a joke, and hurriedly continued: "This is the best opportunity Allah has given us!" The army of the colonists had already left for West Borneo, and Batavia was very weak in rule. ”

Soekarno also knew it was a good opportunity. What's more, he has long been dissatisfied with the old "leaders" around him, but in order to save face, he still said that his strength is insufficient: "But compared with the colonial army, our strength is too weak." ”

Xiao Jinyun hurriedly said: "Please rest assured, I have brought 200 warriors who have been fighting against the infidels in India for a long time, and in order to support us, I have also raised thousands of guns from the northern region. ”

"Are there really thousands of guns?!"

Even Havad couldn't sit still at this point. Tilt your body in the hope of being confirmed. Xiao Jinyun nodded and asked his subordinates to open the cloth bag they were carrying, and after opening it, Sukarno and the others' eyes immediately brightened, only to see that the cloth bag was stuffed with revolvers and yellow-orange-orange bullets. "This is the first batch, and more are waiting outside the docks to be unloaded, but the pagan colonists are very strict and must wait until night to get ashore."

Xiao Jinyun immediately became a celebrity of the Islamic League, and he took the opportunity to propose to contact the East India GC League in Batavia, and everyone joined hands to overthrow the evil Dutch colonial government, and even fanatically called for jihad to establish an Islamic state in East India.

In all fairness, even Xiao Jinyun and the Nanjing General Staff did not expect things to go so smoothly afterwards, and they couldn't help but raise their vigilance against fanatical religious forces.

After the talks, Sukarno, who had no other intentions, also took the initiative to invite Xiao Jinyun to his house as a guest. But the two of them arrived home, and Marin's sudden arrival almost made Xiao Jinyun lose all his efforts.

"Malaya?"

Sukarno's introduction made Marin, who had arrived in a hurry, suspicious of Xiao Jinyun's identity, and he had never heard of an Islamic leader named Isa in Malaya.

Xiao Jinyun also broke out in a cold sweat, he didn't expect Marin to come to see Sukarno first. Fortunately, his years of experience in foreign affairs allowed him to develop a good adaptability, and he saluted: "Thank Allah for letting me see you here, you have been away from Malaysia for a long time, and we all hope that you can return to guide our independence movement." ”

Marin frowned, he hadn't been to Malaya for many years, and secretly muttered if he was too suspicious. Because of the heavy responsibility he had come this time, he didn't get to the bottom of it, and turned his head to explain his intention to Sukarno.

Sukarno was the first person in the East Indies to propose the union of Marxism, nationalism, and Islam into one, a theory that was so inflammatory to any faction in the darkness that Marin decided to meet him first. Sukarno was also about to take advantage of the crisis in West Borneo to promote a revolution to improve his position, and the two hit it off: "Although Comrade Marin is relieved, Isaac has just proposed to join forces to overthrow the colonial government, and he has brought a lot of guns and ammunition. The key now is where we should launch it, whether it is Batavia or Surabaya. ”

Marin was a little skeptical, because the Dutch government is very strict about gun control, and it is not easy to get guns in the South Seas, and asked: "Comrade Isa, where did you buy your guns?" ”

Xiao Jinyun had already prepared, and pretended to be excited and deliberately thanked: "This is also thanks to the brothers in Afghanistan, they bought it from the north, and all of them are weapons of your country." ”

Moscow has already begun to rearm after Stalin came to power, so how can there be more weapons to sell? Marin felt even more strange, but Sukarno was extremely happy and felt that he should recruit Isa to become his biggest foreign aid.

The matter was urgent, and Marin could only suppress the doubts in his heart, and secretly wanted to send a telegram to ask about the situation there after returning to Batavia. After explaining the events and specific steps of the uprising, he immediately rushed to meet with Hawad and other Islamic leaders. Looking at the back of him leaving, Xiao Jinyun suddenly found that Sukarno was actually not kind to his eyes, and his heart suddenly felt strange, didn't this young man advocate the Communist Party? How can you have such a look! Deliberately said: "I don't like these people. ”

When Sukarno heard this, his eyes immediately returned to the same state, and his warm smile made Xiao Jinyun even suspect that what he saw just now was an illusion, and said quietly: "The independence of the East Indian nation needs support from all sides. ”

This kind of city government that is very different from his age makes Xiao Jinyun secretly wary of him, but now is not the opportunity to kill this person, because Ma Lin's early arrival also means that the time is ripe, and now it depends on when Zhuang Meisheng can light this fire......
