Yang Zhen said the names of these new planes that the Soviet army was still developing or had just produced, not only to sell those things at a good price. For him, there is another kind of thought. In Yang Zhen's opinion, some people are now in the way and must get rid of him. In many cases, it is a good choice.

For the Soviet army, which has always been called the Iron Curtain because of the strict secrecy system, the leakage of these planes and tanks is not a problem, the question is who leaked them. Compared with the materials on hand, I believe that Jiangbei will be more interested in that person leaking these weapons information.

Think about the price that the leader of the Soviet people paid to buy a fake piece of information at the beginning of the rebellion. Although this is not true, for Jiangbei, it can be said that it is related to the fate of national defense in the future, and I believe that it should be sold at a good price.

Yang Zhen intentionally or unintentionally leaked this, in addition to exchanging these things for some materials he needed, he wanted to get rid of a person. This person has already caused too much trouble to himself in his cooperation with Jiangbei. The materials transported over are short of catties and short of two, and it is not uncommon to see shoddy. If you let it develop like this, it will be a matter of time before you get stuck in your neck.

For this hand stretched too long, it was almost pervasive, and now even Yang Zhen, who was not a Soviet, felt threatened, and the person must be eliminated. Trying to nip the danger in the bud as much as possible is the style that Yang Zhen has always pursued. Pulling out this sharp sword hanging high above his head is Yang Zhen's greatest wish now in addition to military problems.

As for the impact on the Soviet counterintelligence work in World War II, that is not something he should have considered. Even Yang Zhen was a little mischievous, more than ten years later, would the successor first secretary of the CPSU thank him for giving him a big trouble early?

As for whether this matter can be successful, Yang Zhen is very confident. Yang Zhen believed that in this kind of matter, the fatherly leader who was known for his ruthlessness and iron-blooded methods had always preferred to kill mistakes rather than let go. For a person who threatens the stability of his regime, even if this matter is just a fiction, as long as there is a little rumor, he will get rid of it mercilessly.

All the production of weapons in the Soviet army, especially the design of new weapons, was in the hands of that man. As for the design and production of new Soviet weapons, I am afraid that the Minister of General Ordnance of the Soviet Army does not know as much as he knows. To say that this information involves almost all the leakage of new weapons of the Soviet army and air force, almost no one but him can do it.

As for the 200 American-made P40 fighters, Yang Zhen never thought of success. Not to mention that the United States will not sell this fighter to the Soviet Union, even if it is sold, it will also involve follow-up maintenance and a series of problems in the supply of spare parts. For himself, although this fighter is more advanced than the fighter in Jiangbei, it is not suitable for his current situation.

It's good to be able to get it, but if you can't get it, you don't want it. This matter is just to pave the way for the next step, so that Jiangbei understands that he is not easy to fool.

It's just that Yang Zhen thinks about it, although he is very confident that he can get rid of that person with this non-existent thing. But he also knew clearly that this matter was undoubtedly a shocking gamble for him. After all, that person is now trusted by the top leaders of the Soviet Union, and it is exactly where he became popular. In this anti-rebellion struggle to eliminate dissidents, that person still has deep respect and trust.

Once you can't defeat him, then the consequences of waiting for yourself will be extremely severe. I'm afraid that even the current outsourcing channels, which are often short of pounds and shortages, and shoddy ones, will be cut off. As a latecomer, I know too well the ability of this person who is synonymous with terror in the current Soviet Union. If you can't defeat him, then you can only be the unlucky.

But in any case, since he had already said it, Yang Zhen knew that he had no way out. If you don't get him, you will one day have to fight in the hands of this person. Either you die, or I live, after Yang Zhen took this step again, he had no choice.

The more Yang Zhen, who knew that he had no way out, said more, the paler Kovalev's face became. By the time Yang Zhen's words fell, Kovalev was already colorless. As the head of the intelligence service, he knew what the consequences would be if they leaked out. Not only will there be irreparable economic losses, but more importantly, there will be a threat to the security of the Soviets.

Barely calming down the turmoil in his heart, Kovalev said: "Comrade Yang Zhen, you don't need to ask Moscow for those trucks and gasoline, I can promise you." It's just those American-made fighter jets, I can't decide on this. You know, we don't have very good relations with the capitalist countries in Europe and the United States because of the war on the Western Front. ”

"But rest assured, I will convey this request to Moscow in its entirety. But I can tell you that there is not much hope for success. This kind of aircraft is produced by capitalism, and it will be very troublesome to buy it, and the Americans will not necessarily sell us. ”

"If you propose our own production of the I-15 or 16, two advanced fighters that have fought against your main enemy, the Japanese Air Force, and have been tested in battle, I can give you an affirmative answer right now. You must know that these two fighters are also the main fighters of the Soviets to assist your national government. The performance is still very advanced. ”

Regarding this guy's words, Yang Zhen smiled slightly and said: "Dear Comrade Kovalev, whether the two advanced fighters you mentioned are still advanced, you know, I also know. If it's as advanced as you say, why are you so determined to research a new fighter? ”

Looking at Yang Zhen with a weird smile on his face, Kovalev, who now had no intention of sitting here and talking nonsense to him, said: "Comrade Yang Zhen, I will truthfully convey your second request to Moscow." Your body still needs to rest, so I'll take my leave. When the results are available, I will convey them as soon as possible. ”

"Also, Comrade Yang Zhen, I hope you can give me an answer as much as you can to whether or not to accept the invitation of General Abanashenk and the Far Eastern District Party Committee." After that, for fear that Yang Zhen would stay as a guest, he left in a hurry without looking back.

Looking at Kovalev, who seemed to be running away from the desert, Yang Zhen smiled slightly. It's just that the treacherous smile on the corner of his mouth just fell into the eyes of Li Yanping and Guo Bingxun who came together.

Looking at the strange smile on the corner of Yang Zhen's mouth, thinking of what he saw at the gate of the hospital was almost deserted, the two of them looked at each other and smiled helplessly. I understand that this guy has played a trick on that big brother again.

Sure enough, when Yang Zhen said the content of the conversation between himself and Kovalev about the technology transfer of penicillin, Li Yanping shook his head helplessly and said: "You, you can really open your mouth, and that guy dares to agree to you." 1,700 trucks, 10,000 tons of gasoline, this big brother is really willing to spend money. ”

Regarding Li Yanping's sighs, Yang Zhen said disapprerovantly: "I still think I want to be missing?" Now that there is a war between Europe and Asia, penicillin is more than the price of a tael of gold. Now that the situation in Europe is so tense, maybe Big Brother will enter the war that day, and with this technology, how many fewer people can they lose? ”

"More than 1,000 trucks are just a drop in the bucket for their annual production capacity of more than 100,000 vehicles. If I had known they were so quick to agree, I would have asked for more anyway. At least in the case of a hundred and eighty motorcycles, it is not a problem. Or get some more planes. ”

After that, Yang Zhen turned his head to Guo Bingxun and said, "Old Guo, when it comes to these vehicles, I still have to thank you." If you hadn't privately approached the commander-in-chief, you would have stopped the other party from exchanging penicillin's technology for the other party's support. According to the shape we faced at that time, we would never be able to exchange these things. ”

Guo Bingxun shook his head and said, "Commander Yang, it's actually a bit early to change now. When the war in Europe is in full swing, it should sell for a better price. You must know that it is not only the Soviets who need these things, but also the Americans, the British, the Germans, and even the Japanese. ”

Regarding Guo Bingxun's thinking, Yang Zhen disagreed: "Old Guo, the scientific and technological level of Europe and the United States is far ahead of us. How long do you think our technology for synthetic penicillin can be maintained when it is in great demand almost all over the world? I am afraid that in less than two years, developed countries in Europe and the United States will master this technology. At that point, it will be worthless. ”

"Strange goods can get the greatest benefits in a short period of time, but once similar products appear, we will lose all our money. So when it's time to make a move, you have to make a move. And in the case that this technology has been leaked to Jiangbei, we also have to consider the consequences of refusal. ”

"Moreover, with the expansion of the troops, the consumption of materials in the battle is getting bigger and bigger, and the supply of war materials has become the first problem we need to solve. Relying on limited manpower and animal power as in the past can no longer meet the needs of the troops. These 1,700 trucks, together with the Japanese trucks we have captured, can greatly increase the mobility of our troops. ”

"Although the performance of Soviet-made trucks cannot be compared with other countries in Europe and the United States, they are all imitations of products that have fallen behind in the United States. But at least it's better than the Japanese style, and it also solves our immediate needs. So I think this deal is still appropriate. ”

"Using limited supplies to maximize our interests so that we can go all out to carry on this war is what we should consider most now. As for the other subtleties, don't think too much about them. ”

After talking for such a long time, Yang Zhen, who felt a little tired, sat back on the bed, looked at Li Yanping and Guo Bingxun, hesitated for a moment and still did not tell him about the other side of the conversation with Kovalev.

For now, it's better to keep this matter as secret as possible. When it really succeeds, let's talk about it, keep it secret now, and if it doesn't work, it will keep the two of them from being implicated. That person's means of revenge are quite set. But I can't say this thing, but it's better to say another thing.

Thinking of that incident, Yang Zhen couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Political commissar, Lao Guo, Jiangbei got a female doctor, and she has to be a health doctor for me." That female doctor is too charming, and she can't leave me here. Although I sent her to medical school, it would be a curse to keep her. You'll have to find a way to get her away. ”

"The woman is of mixed race, her mother is Chinese, and she speaks Chinese very slippery. In front of her, I always felt like I was sitting bare-bottomed on the snow, and I couldn't hide anything. Although Kovalev didn't admit it, I always felt that this woman's identity was not simple. If I'm not mistaken, she should have been an agent of the Soviet Ministry of Internal Affairs or the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Soviet Army. If you don't want to drive it away, it's a time bomb here. Jiangbei did this to make it clear that he wanted to plant a nail beside me. ”

Looking at Yang Zhen's stern face, even with a slightly nervous expression, Li Yanping couldn't help but smile and said, "Don't be too anxious. I will study this matter with the Ministry of Political Affairs. But we can't force it now, after all, we can't offend them right now. ”

"Now for you, what is more important is Jiangbei's invitation? To go or not to go? If we don't go, will it give a bad impression over there and lower our relationship with them? went, what to do? Will they suddenly detain you, or what will the central side do? ”

Regarding the most important thing in Li Yanping's mouth, Yang Zhen waved his hand indifferently and said: "I am an ordinary party member, and I still have to ask my superiors for instructions when I go abroad." In this way, political commissar, you draft a telegram to the Central Committee, and ask the Central Committee for instructions. Let the central authorities decide this kind of foreign affairs matter. If the central government asks us to go, we will go, and if the central government does not let us go, we will resolutely not do anything that violates discipline. As for Jiangbei, let the central government explain it to them. ”

For Yang Zhen's practice of pushing the responsibility to the central government, there are some scoundrels. Li Yanping was slightly stunned, but he felt that handing over this matter to the central government and letting the central government give Jiangbei a reply was undoubtedly the most appropriate choice now. On the one hand, it avoided the suspicion of the central government, and at the same time made a statement to Jiangbei. The Northeast Bureau and the Jidong Military Region are not independent kingdoms like Xinjiang, but are under the leadership of the Chinese Communist Party.

However, although I was very satisfied with Yang Zhen's solution, I also knew that the key to the central government's disagreement was not what the central government thought, but what Yang Zhen thought. As the head of the Northeast Bureau in charge of the military, his attitude is important. It can even be an important factor in influencing the decisions of the central government.

Thinking of this, Li Yanping pointed at Yang Zhen and said, "Although this idea is a bit slippery, it is a more appropriate solution. But what do you think, I want to hear your thoughts now, do you think you should go or not? ”

Hearing Li Yanping ask what he meant, Yang Zhen didn't answer him, but pushed the question back and said, "Political commissar, Lao Guo, do you two think I should go?" ”

Li Yanping, who didn't expect Yang Zhen to kick the ball back with his hand, hesitated for a long time but shook his head and said, "If it's good for us or not, I think you should go." But personally, I don't want you to go. I've eaten too much of their secret losses over the years, and I'm really scared. ”

Regarding Li Yanping's answer, Guo Bingxun shook his head and said: "I think I'll go, there's nothing to do." The current shape is different from when Deputy Commander Zhao was detained. The more tense the situation in Europe, the larger the scale of the expansion of the Kwantung Army. The less we have to worry about the safety of the commander after crossing the river. Commissar, don't forget that Japan and Germany are now allies. ”
