"But Ma Zhongying can, just like you are a genius in artillery, he led five hundred cavalry into Xinjiang, and no one could control it for several years, even the Soviet army a few years ago (at that time, the Great Purge had not yet begun, and the Soviet army's combat effectiveness was still extremely strong. I can't resist it, Zuihou relied on several times the superiority of troops and countless aircraft and artillery to barely defeat it, it's a pity that such a genius stayed in the Soviet Union", the great man picked up the cigarette holder that was about to burn to the end and took a hard breath, and said, "Listen to Xu Guangda, Ma Zhongying learned armored tactics after going to the Soviet Union, didn't you keep saying that the armored brigade did not have qualified military commanders?" Isn't this ready-made? ”

"Yes, the tactics of the cavalry themselves have a lot in common with the armored tactics themselves, and with Ma Zhongying's genius, it should not be difficult to comprehend the essence of armored tactics", Hu Weidong thought of this, and immediately said, "Please rest assured, even if I tie him with a rope, I will tie him back!" ”

"If he is no longer Chinese, then forget it, everyone has their own aspirations." , Taizu said that a little haze appeared on his face, the Soviet Union was so strong that every Chinese who went there would be deeply shocked, and a considerable part of them would be the Soviet Union after that, although Ma Zhongying had legendary experiences in the past, but he went to the Soviet Union after defeating the Soviet Union, and his psychological state was definitely no longer the self-confidence of the past, whether he could stick to himself, the great man did not have much confidence.

"Yes, Chairman." , Hu Weidong promised.

In order to save time, Hu Weidong resolutely chose a riskier plane despite everyone's opposition, but fortunately he had a safe journey and arrived in Moscow on November 22, 37. To Hu Weidong's surprise. Not only Zhou Gong and Mao Zemin, the two representatives of the Red Party to negotiate with the Soviet Union, but also the general secretary of the Executive Committee of the Comintern, Georgi. Dimitrov also came to greet him, and he was followed by a number of important figures of the Comintern, including Wang Ming, whom Hu Weidong hated the most

Only later did Hu Weidong learn that it was his series of methods to rapidly increase the number of workers in the Central Plains border areas that attracted Dimitrov's attention, and it should be noted that at present only a small part of the industrialized areas in Shijie were inherently limited. In the eyes of many of the leaders of the Comintern, the key to the failure of the revolution in those agrarian countries was the low degree of industrialization in these countries. The proletariat is so weak that it would be unimaginably useful to the international communist movement if there was a way to rapidly increase the proportion of the industrial population in the backward areas.

Hu Weidong's trip was in dire need of the support of the Soviet Union as the representative of the Comintern, which was not the only one from the Soviet Union. Now that the other party has something to ask for himself, this matter is easy to discuss. As for the Soviet side, Hu Weidong is more confident, although Stalin is a great man and a tyrant, even Hu Weidong, who is now a general, is somewhat under pressure from him, but Stalin's starting point has always been for the national interests of the Soviet Union, so as long as he comes up with an exchange condition that can impress him, it is not so difficult to obtain assistance from the Soviet Union. Although Zhou and Mao Zemin were excellent diplomats, they still adhered to the habits of traditional Chinese. Feelings are placed on the bright side, and interests are operated underneath, which is incompatible with the practice of Westerners like Mao Zi (in the eyes of Chinese) who put interests directly on the table, and communication is naturally very difficult, Hu Weidong couldn't help but shake his head secretly after discovering this. "Looks like I've come to the right place this time!"

Although Hu Weidong's speech at the Comintern was as clumsy as possible in order to avoid arousing the vigilance of the Soviet side, it was still very well received, and Dimitrov, who had always had a strong sense of "superiority of the working class," spoke highly of the efforts of the Chinese Red Party to strengthen the ranks of workers in the past two years, and under his call, tens of thousands of people from all over the world came to China to support the war of resistance. Among them, there are some jishu talents who are urgently needed in the border areas, and have made indelible contributions to the victory of the war and the industrialization process of China. …,

On the Soviet side, after Hu Weidong pointed out that the quality of the penicillin strain had improved during this period and was better than that given to the Germans before, the Soviet side finally began to re-evaluate the true value of this jishu, and Hu Weidong even took out the design drawings of the AKM assault rifle, 40mm rocket launcher and 107mm rocket launcher (Note 1) in exchange for it, and promised to share advanced industries such as oxygen top-blowing converters with the Soviet Union during the Soviet aid period, which finally made Stalin moved. In addition, during his time in the Soviet Union, Hu Weidong actively helped the government representatives to determine the list of aid, and even helped them formulate a set of simple and easy quality sampling methods and standards (whether they dared to inspect or not was none of Hu Weidong's business), although these increased the cost of the Soviet side and even slapped the Soviet industry in the face, but created an atmosphere of harmony between the two parties in China, which made Stalin's worries subside, and the negotiations that had been stalled for a long time quickly achieved a relatively satisfactory result.

On December 16, 1937, the two parties formally signed an agreement in Moscow, in which the Soviet government promised to assist the Chinese Red Party in the construction of the Lanxin Railway and the Karamay Oil Field (during Hu Weidong's time abroad, the geologists who stayed in China were not idle. ), Yumen Oilfield, Lanzhou Refinery, Lanzhou Chemical Plant, Lanzhou Petroleum Machinery Factory, Gansu Baiyin Factory Copper Mine, Gansu Yawan Antimony Mine, Lanzhou Iron and Steel Plant, Lanzhou Nitrogen Fertilizer Plant, Qinghai Salt Lake Potash Fertilizer Company, Ningxia Shizuishan Coal Mine, Gansu Jinchang Jinchuan Nickel Mine, Gansu Jingtieshan Iron Mine, Gansu Xicheng Lead-Zinc Mine, Ningxia Xihuashan Tungsten Mine, Yanpanxia Hydropower Station and other 36 major industrial projects, and provide an additional million tons of steel per year in the next three years (excluding the steel required for the construction project), Support the North-West Border Region's self-built railways and other industrial projects, and at the same time send a total of no less than 10,000 Jishu teams to provide construction guidance, worker training and other supporting services (these people's salaries are covered by the Soviet government, but the government of the border region provides free accommodation and food. ）。

In addition, the Soviet Union agreed to send no less than 150 volunteer air units of combat planes to the Jinsui Border Region, the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Border Region, and the Central Plains Border Region, which were located at the forefront of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression

Note 1: Hu Weidong did not claim to be the inventor of these weapons, but only said that it was the result of the research and development of the military personnel in the border area, otherwise with the virtue of the Soviets, he might not have deducted people to help them work.
