    Chongqing.

    It is not as large as later generations, but it is also the first municipality with a population of more than 5 million in the Republic of China.  It was also in order to obtain the gold in Kolchak's hands that after the decision to accept Russian refugees was made, the Ministry of Civil Affairs set up one of 15 resettlement areas across the country.  The reason for choosing this place is that it is located inland and is easier to control. Food, industry and education are relatively complete, which is suitable for them to pass the language period and gradually integrate into society.

    The refugee camp is located 15 kilometers west of the city and 50 kilometers away from Qijiang Industrial Zone.  After a year of intensive construction, the original hilly wasteland has been filled with five-story gray lattice-like immigrant houses.  This is a simple house with a cement and steel frame built by the Ministry of Civil Affairs based on Yang Qiu's design and imitation of the house of her husband in later generations.  This kind of house is not large in area but is sturdy and durable with relatively complete equipment. Compared with the current main single-family tile-roofed houses in the country, it occupies less space and is not much more expensive to build. It is suitable for densely populated areas.  Using immigrants to promote this kind of architecture can also be regarded as an experiment for future urbanization that will require a large number of houses.

    When Cai E and others arrived, the country's largest closed residential area, which houses 150,000 refugees, had been put under martial law by the National Guard.  The management of refugee camps across the country is temporarily managed by the guard force. This is mainly due to the short time of establishment of the police force, the uneven quality of good and bad, which will lead to fraud and blackmail, and language communication will lead to confusion.

    As Yang Qiuzheng, Tang Shaoyi and others inspected the situation in the refugee camp, everyone had to wait patiently.

    ¡°This group of Russian refugees in the parallel world ended badly. Hundreds of thousands of them froze to death and starved to death when they fled with Kolchak alone, and the rest flowed into China.  Because of language habits and other issues, they became bodyguards, drivers and prostitutes, and a small number of them became tools of warlords to bring chaos to China.  Therefore, when he first accepted them, even Yang Qiu was a little worried about whether they would be acclimatized and cause turmoil. However, after special investigations by the Ministry of Intelligence and the Ministry of Civil Affairs, it was found that everyone actually had a lot of misunderstandings about Russian refugees.

    Most of them are Russian bourgeoisie and aristocrats. The education rate among adults is as high as 80%, and half of them have received a university education.  About 50,000 people have also studied in Britain, France, Germany and other countries.  Technical talents and experts are naturally sought-after goods in universities and factories. The Ministry of Education also hopes that the remaining people can help alleviate the serious shortage of mathematics, physics and chemistry teachers in the country. Even women are considered to be ready to use their talents in dance, painting and music.  Go be a teacher.  The rest is digested and absorbed by the people themselves.  The dream is great and the operability is very strong, but the language barrier is a big problem!  Therefore, after the establishment of the refugee zone, the first task of the Ministry of Civil Affairs is to find people who are proficient in Chinese and Russian languages.  So much so that people who have lived in places such as Vladivostok and Chita for more than ten years and who know Russian are basically invited.

    This experience has also led the Ministry of Civil Affairs, the police and the National Guard to work together to implement a temporary residence permit system in response to the reality that there are more and more foreigners in the country.  According to the system, citizens from all countries in China need to apply for free temporary residence permits. The residence permits are divided into levels such as refugees, technicians, and experts. According to the level, they need to register regularly at the police station or the Civil Affairs Bureau. After ten years, they can choose whether to join  Chinese nationals or holders of departure and refugee residence permits must pay a 45% departure tax on all property when they leave.

    The temporary residence permit for refugees is definitely the most stringent. Not to mention leaving the country, even leaving the province of residence, you need to declare it. However, after experiencing the pain of displacement and the loss of the country and the family, it is difficult to apply for a refugee temporary residence permit.  People's demands on life will take the initiative to lower themselves.  It is simply unimaginable for Russian refugees to say goodbye to hunger and cold and come to mainland China, and the government will also provide houses and food for a year.  Of course, the Civil Affairs Bureau will not raise them in vain. During this year's transition period, in addition to being forced to learn Chinese, they also need to complete various production tasks.

    In front of Yang Qiu is the bicycle assembly factory.  More than 20,000 working-study refugees can assemble as many as 5,000 bicycles for the bicycle factory every day. The Ministry of Civil Affairs uses half of the profits to purchase food and necessities, and the remainder goes to the bicycle factory.  In addition to bicycles, there are many other jobs here. Even women with the worst manual skills have tasks like gluing matchboxes every day.  After inspecting the work area, Yang Qiu went to the design office, which is affiliated to Chongqing Industrial Company.  More than a thousand engineers and designers, including Orenlov, an electrical engineer who escaped from Chelyabinsk, were gathered here. They were temporarily unable to leave the camp because they had to complete language courses.  So Wu Qingdu simply moved his work here to let them adapt to Chongqing's work style and rhythm in advance.

    Olenrov's job is to design electrical buses for 50,000-kilowatt power plants. This is the most important 20 power plant projects nationwide in the second five-year plan of the Ministry of Industry. Originally, considering that the domestic electrical design was very weak, he planned to hand it over to HP of the United States.  and Westinghouse Company, but after Wu Qingdu learned about it, he believed that Chongqing already had the ability to independently contract power plant electrical projects. In order to revitalize national industry and avoid risks, the Ministry of Industry finally negotiated to contract one-third of it to Chongqing, and the rest would continue to be contracted.  Leave it to two American companies.

    Such a large project requires all-out effort, so Wu Qingdu learned that Olenlov designed and built it for the Tsar.After designing electrical buses for power plants and battleships, he immediately recruited him and actively contacted the Ministry of Civil Affairs to gather all talents in this field scattered in various refugee camps to Chongqing to join the project.

    Olenlov had heard of Yang Qiu a long time ago, but when he met him, he was still attracted by his youth and profound knowledge, and took the initiative to explain the design process and ideas.

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????But Cai E and others outside were waiting a little anxiously. When they were discussing whether to go in and interrupt, Lu Zhengxiang's voice sounded from behind: "Huh? Why are you all here? Where is the Vice President?"

    Lu Zhengxiang also came to attend the Chongqing Economic Conference. Seeing the sadness on the faces of several people, he hurriedly asked: "What happened? Songpo, tell me."

    After Cai E told what happened deep in the Yakutsk jungle.  It turned out that on the third day after the massacre, the lurking intelligence agent sent the news back to Hailanpao.  Although Wang Geng and the Northeast Theater Command were angry, they didn't pay much attention to it, and they couldn't interrupt the original bandit suppression plan for the rebels.  The problem is, we have just received the telegram, and this morning several newspapers in Japan actually broke the news. They also published a large number of photos of the scene and changed the title to "Russian Army Massacres Northeastern Immigrants!"

    "How come there are photos in Japan?" Although Lu Zhengxiang was a little angry, it still depends on the owner when beating a dog.  But having photos of Japan is weird.  Although Japan has always been in contact with the Russian guerrillas in the Far East, there are very few photos. Could it be said that some of them were at the scene at the time?

    Cai E said: "This is what we find strange! Judging from past experience, after Japan publishes photos, Britain, France, the United States and other countries will definitely reprint them. There are still many British and American newspapers in our country. Once they reprint these photos, we are worried  "

    "Arouse public outrage. Destroy future negotiations?"

    Cai E nodded: "Continuous victories have made people all over the country very popular. If it spreads, it will inevitably cause nationwide condemnation, which will be difficult for us."

    Lu Zhengxiang understands why everyone is worried.  The reason why the "Shanghai Communique" unilaterally announced the recovery of the territory.  In fact, it is to set the basic tone for future Sino-Russian negotiations.  Now that Japan has exposed the matter and deliberately confused the facts, domestic British and American newspapers will inevitably arouse public outrage after reprinting it.  In this case, if the military does not take some action, it will definitely not satisfy everyone.  However, if the action is carried out with great fanfare, the current adaptation and future Sino-Russian negotiations will inevitably be put on hold.

    Zhang Wenjing asked strangely: "I don't think this matter is that simple. Where did Japan get the live photos? Didn't it say that the Japanese government has sent people to Moscow? Why are you still reporting this kind of thing? Aren't you afraid of affecting the relationship between the two countries?"

    Yue Peng has been thinking about this and said: "This is the strangest thing about us. What do they want to do?"

    "It's not surprising, because Stalin and Nagata Tieshan have met." While everyone was analyzing, Yang Qiu's voice sounded behind them.  Turning around, he saw that he, Tang Shaoyi and others had walked out after the inspection, and Chen Haohui was following them in a wheelchair.

    Seeing him, everyone understood that Yang Qiu had received the news.

    This nonsense sentence made everyone frown, but Cai E still couldn't figure it out.  Asked: "The commander-in-chief means that this matter is basically a deal between Stalin and Nagata Tieshan? Then why did he do this? This matter is not good for him."

    Yang Qiu chuckled: "Let Haohui answer this question for you."

    Chen Haohui waved his hand and asked Dai Chunfeng to go down first. After Kuang Xukun took the initiative to take over the task of pushing the cart, he said as he walked: "We have received intelligence that there is an internal dispute in Moscow about whether to attack Poland first or Kolchak first.  There are big differences. The idea of ??Tonotsky and the General Staff is to deal with the east first. But Stalin insists that Poland should be attacked first. At present, the two factions hold their own opinions and refuse to give in to each other."

    The Russian Civil War is the top concern of the General Staff, and targeted research is carried out every week. After he finished speaking, Yue Peng immediately said: "What is the best choice? After several years of fighting, the Kazan-Ufa defense line has long been impregnable.  , even if we come to fight for a year and a half, we still can't bite it. The Frunze tribe in the east already has about 1.5 million troops. As long as the supplies can keep up, it is not difficult to defeat Kolchak or even recapture Tomsk.  But if we miss this summer, we will definitely have to postpone it until next year. On the Western Front, the morale of the Polish army with Lien Zhan and Lien Jie is at a high level. To rush forward now is to add fuel to the fire. Even if we can win, we will suffer huge losses. The best way is to keep retreating.  Concentrate your strength and wait until they are too weak to attack before counterattacking."

    Chen Haohui nodded and said: "Brother Zian, Tonotsky also thought of your plan, so he proposed to guarantee the east with all his strength and deal with Kolchak and Denikin first, but Stalin was unwilling"

    "Why is this?" Xu Xiujun interrupted.

    "This is not simple." Seeing that everyone had not yet understood, Yang Qiu looked at Tang Shaoyi and said, "The information in Lenin's hands??We can only fight in one direction, strengthen the east side, and the west side must be weakened.  Stalin's morale was at its peak after recapturing Tsaritsyn. At this time, do you think he would be willing to let the Southwest Army retreat after deliberately failing?  "

    ¡°Everyone understands this.

    It is a well-known secret that Lenin was in poor health after his assassination. At this time, the internal power struggle in Moscow must have been fierce.  There are currently four main people who are expected to take over: Tonotsky, Stalin, Dzerzhensky and Bukharin.  The former is not only known as the father of the Red Army, but also the commander-in-chief of the October Revolution, and is highly regarded in the army.  Stalin relied on the Battle of Tsaritsyn to confirm his prestige and received support from Tukhachevsky and others. The Southwest Front was his most important weight.  Dzerzhensky is the chairman of the National Committee for the Suppression of Counterrevolutionaries, the most staunch proletarian revolutionary and Lenin's most loyal partner.  As for Bukharin, he received widespread support from radicals because of his leftist ideas and his refusal to give up any inch of the original Russian territory.

    Judging from the situation, Bukharin is definitely the weakest, and the nature of Dzerzhensky¡¯s work is easier to criticize.  Therefore, the biggest competitors are Tonotsky and Stalin.  The latter was still inferior to Tronotsky in the army, so he wanted to attack the south first.  Because as long as Lenin agreed to attack the south first, then Frunze would have to allocate troops to the Southwest Army, and resources from all over the country would also be mobilized to the southwest, and Stalin's trump card would be much stronger.

    After thinking about this, it¡¯s no wonder why Japan has photos.  It must be that Stalin and Nagata Tetsuyama reached an agreement to deliberately undermine the recovering Sino-Russian relations and deliberately fabricated rumors to try to get the Wehrmacht to take action.  Regardless of whether it is to the northwest or northeast, as long as it creates tension, Lenin must first put the east aside in order not to be attacked from both sides to avoid further irritating China.  This would give Stalin enough reason to demand that the Polish army in the south be attacked first.

    "This Stalin is too dangerous! To do this is to sacrifice the poor party's future opportunities to develop eastward in exchange for his own political status!" Cai E thought about it and was secretly shocked by Stalin's ruthlessness.  Originally, it was only necessary to keep Shumiatsky and others and develop Japan-Russia relations.  The theory of the Poor Party will have the opportunity to penetrate into the East. After all, the Republic of China also has a lot of poor people, and exploitation is common. But he did this and deliberately let Japan leak the photos. In the future, there will be fewer people who believe in the ideas of the Poor Party, unless they are ambitious people.  Otherwise, everyone will stay away.

    "The Russian Civil War will eventually end. After several years of fighting, Moscow not only was not destroyed, but became stronger and stronger. If nothing else happens, Lenin and the Poor Party will take charge of the overall situation within one or two years. Since Japan has left Stalin,  Let's get together. Then let's" Tang Shaoyi looked at Yang Qiu and asked, "Should we also send someone to contact Tonotsky and ask Xu Shuzheng to retreat?"

    Is Tonotsky a good person?  This guy is much more powerful than Stalin!  It would be okay to have a relationship with Stalin after he came to power, but now Yang Qiu has no such idea at all.  Said: "Ambitionists are always easier to deal with than strategists! Since we are targeted by others, we will also be left idle. This is an opportunity given by others. Just take advantage of it."

    " Guofu, go and send a telegram to Dai Jitao. The General Information Administration will not only not restrict this news, but also increase its reprinting efforts. As for where it happened, don't explain it. Just treat it as the Northeast Immigration Area.  Haohui.  You also need to make a contribution, release a batch of materials in your hands for propaganda, and lead the people to believe that Moscow is evil and cruel.  "

    "Puch"

    The last two sentences made Kuang Xukun, who was pushing the cart, couldn't help but laugh. Yang Qiu himself also laughed: "Since they gave us this opportunity, we would be sorry if we don't take advantage of it. You all can go, accept interviews, and write columns. What?  No matter how you wipe out the evil, it would be best if you can demonize them! Send a telegram to Wang Geng and Wu Peifu again. The weather is getting hot, so we can fight as hard as we want, and the momentum must be bigger!"

    Originally, everyone was nervous that it would cause domestic pressure, but they didn¡¯t expect that a bad thing would turn out to be a good thing in the hands of Yang Qiu.  Everyone is worried that they have no chance to smear Russia. After all, no matter how miserable the Russian civil war is, it is a domestic matter and cannot arouse domestic resonance.  Although everyone felt uncomfortable after being tricked by Stalin and Japan, it was still an opportunity.

    Only Cai E tried to talk, but in the end he didn't say anything because he felt that Yang Qiu was too optimistic.  Let¡¯s not talk about how much pressure this kind of propaganda will bring to immigrants who are already in difficulty. Just because Japan and Russia are targeting themselves for their first cooperation, we should be even more vigilant!  But he didn't know that Yang Qiu had actually been vigilant for a long time. Stalin and Nagata Tieshan had already shown their power through their initial alliance. What will happen once both countries get through the difficult period?  He was also helpless. With the power in his hands to defeat but not kill, a long-term political and diplomatic confrontation was doomed to be inevitable.

    At this moment, he has little choice. No matter how big the emergency is, he must endure it for the time being, because the most important economic and monetary reforms are imminent.

      In the following days, Yang Qiu was actively preparing for the Chongqing Economic Conference and paid almost no attention to the outside world.  As the news and photos of the Yakutsk incident gradually entered the country from Japan, the whole country was plunged into anger.  After getting the hint, the General Information Administration not only failed to correct the place where the incident occurred, but instead began to massively publicize what the Poor Party was doing in the northwest and northeast. It also reported all the cruelty and bloodshed of the Russian Civil War, doing its best to demonize the Moscow government and mislead the people.  Let everyone think that the incident really happened in Waixing'anling.  The Ministry of Intelligence also provided hundreds of selected photos to promote the evil in Moscow.

    Of course, there are still good people in Russia, such as the refugees who had to flee to China due to persecution, and General Kolchak who led his troops to resist to the death. They have all been promoted as positive figures.

    Just as Cai E was most worried about at the beginning, the consecutive victories increased the morale of the people. When the bloody photos were published in the newspapers, the students immediately took to the streets to demonstrate and demand severe punishment of the murderers. Calls for punishing Moscow also surged across the country, and even the parliament  Make a decent resolution requiring the military to attack Moscow to ensure the security of the country and people.  Under this situation, the Ministry of National Defense cannot remain silent. Many troops that have completed their reorganization have received mobilization orders. The number of military columns and transport cavalry heading to the northwest has increased rapidly. The conflicts between Han people and Russians in the northwest and northeast have also increased day by day.  Hundreds of people were injured in just a few days, and the Far East, which had just ended the war, once again felt like a storm was coming.

    Naturally, such an obvious move could not be concealed from the Kremlin. Lenin was not firm in his idea of ??attacking the Eastern Front first. Faced with the menacing Wehrmacht, he finally agreed to let the Eastern Front defend along the Ural Mountains first. While sending Karakhan to secretly visit China,  Make every effort to deal with the Polish army on the western front.

    When newspapers across the country tried their best to vilify Russia and called for war, the high-spirited Stalin finally got everything he wanted and decided to go to supervise the war in person.  Nagata Tetsuzan also saw the hope of Japan and Russia joining hands to deal with China.  However, their opponent Yang Qiu decisively chose to be patient and devoted himself to promoting currency and economic reforms
