    When Marin volunteered to go to Surabaya, Yang Qiu had already set foot on American soil and took a train to continue his visit to the Great Lakes region, the industrial heart of the United States.

    This visit was different from previous visits. Yang Qiu received almost presidential treatment. Not only did Secretary of State Kellogg go to San Francisco to accompany him throughout the entire trip, but a special train was also dispatched for his use.  Because it coincided with a sensitive period in Southeast Asia, the U.S. government specially provided two high-power wireless transmitters for his communication with the country.  But for the sake of confidentiality, the Guards reconsidered using domestic radio stations.

    In terms of electronic technology, the Republic of China is still at a level even if it cannot surpass Europe and the United States. Several major groups and Longmeng have joined the China Electronic Communication Technology Research Center in Nanjing, which not only studies radio and broadcast communications, but also studies a series of new technologies such as radio ranging.  .  However, even if there are drawings, it is not possible to build a radar immediately, even the crudest first generation, because a series of issues such as tube technology, heat dissipation technology, and electronic signal processing after the radar beam returns are still under study.  However, these studies have brought benefits to radio applications. The result is that the level of self-produced radios has continued to improve, and wireless broadcasting and radio technology in various provinces have made significant progress.

    The United States and China are at the same latitude, and the temperature inside the car drops significantly after entering the north.  Early in the morning, the future first lady sat looking over the activity schedule in a coat and glasses.  After joining the China Women's Rights and Interests Committee initiated by Mrs. Peide, Miao Luo's temperament changed a lot, and her every move revealed a mature and intellectual style that was very different from China.

    Yan Yuqiu, who was sitting opposite, was wearing a brown work suit, with a large, old-fashioned black briefcase beside him.  From time to time, he and Miao Luo murmured a few words and seemed to be discussing something.

    As soon as Yang Qiu got up, he saw two women already busy. He quickly poured two cups of hot milk and put them on the table: "What are you muttering about so early in the morning?"

    "Thank you, Vice President."

    Miao Luo was quite worried about the little girl's sweet voice. He took off his glasses and gouged out Yang Qiu's eyes while she wasn't paying attention. Then he picked up the tea cup and covered his hands and said, "We are going to Chicago soon. President Coolidge's wife invited me.  Participate in anti-child labor activities in Chicago, visit female workers at work, and finally go to a local farm to express condolences to ordinary families. A lot of things"

    There was a small complaint in Miao Luo's tone. As the future first lady, she had a lot of work during this trip. After speaking, she picked up a purchase and handed it to Yang Qiu: "This is the equipment Zhang Taiyan asked me to buy and the equipment sent by the United States."  Here¡¯s the quotation. I¡¯m discussing it with Yuqiu, and you can help us come up with an idea.¡±

    "This madman Zhang is planning on my wife." Yang Qiu secretly laughed.  Zhang Taiyan, the Minister of Education, is quite competent.  In particular, the results of promoting Chinese studies, popularizing Chinese Pinyin, and unifying Chinese language education across the country have been very good, but they are just too "shameless"!  Even Yang Qiu had a headache when he reached out to ask for funds, and he used all kinds of tricks.  Once, in order to raise funds for the expansion of Jinan University, he actually led students to protest in front of the Shandong Provincial Congress. Thousands of students surrounded the Provincial Congress for three days and three nights.  Seeing that the annual fiscal budget had exceeded the target, the provincial council, which had no money, finally had to ask grandfather and grandmother to summon the squires to collect 1 million.

    It was originally said that it would be lent 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 banners saying "Government Supports Education", which was so abrupt.  Converting government borrowings into funding for education This "shameless" style has made the whole country avoid people from the Ministry of Education such as Madman Zhang and Cai Yuanpei.

    "What Minister Zhang asked his wife to purchase is a fine grinding mill. He plans to use this to make fish bone meal, saying that fish bone meal contains a lot of nutrients and can be added to meals to strengthen the national student system. But the grains of domestic and European grinding machines are too large.  Coarse, only the United States has fine grinding machines." Yan Yuqiu introduced it from the side, but Yang Qiu frowned secretly.

    Fish bone meal can indeed enhance calcium.  Fish bone meal has been processed in Europe and the United States for a long time, but it is not easy to be absorbed by the human body.  However, it is a good idea for the Ministry of Education to have this idea. Currently, only wealthy areas across the country with financial difficulties can provide free lunches to schools. Most rural areas cannot do this. If students can be provided with a free pack of fish bone meal or nutritious food every day,  canned fish, which is much less stressful than the national lunch.  After all, the price of marine fish is extremely low these days.

    But purchasing hundreds of 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. Well, you can reduce the number of purchases by 70%.  Add two canned fish production lines. After returning to China, I asked Madman Zhang to give the equipment to a reliable private factory, and then asked the Ministry of Education to use bidding methods to advertise in all newspapers across the country to purchase fine fish bone meal and canned fish, so as to promote this factory. Chinese people  If there is a trend, as long as you build momentum and keep saying that the supply is insufficient, people will naturally come to do this business. It does not take two or three years to be able to both meet the demand andIt can promote the coastal fishing industry.  "

    "Humph, you are the only one with many bad ideas. Let me think about it again." Unexpectedly, Yang Qiu solved the problem by dividing three times, five times, and two times, and also promoted the coastal fishing industry and fish processing industry. Miao Luo also lamented that his method was better.  But the mouth refused to admit defeat. After snorting, he took out the list and revised it, but left him alone.  Yan Yuqiu also covered her mouth and laughed secretly, and worked with Miao Luo on how to handle this matter.

    Before Yang Qiu had time to talk about the two women crossing the river and burning the bridge, Xu Xiujun and Ambassador to the United States Gu Weijun walked in.  When he saw the two of them, he rushed up to them and asked, "What's going on?"

    "Compared with the early days of Southwest, the unexpected death of his wife Tang Baoyue made Gu Weijun mature a lot.  He has been stationed in the United States for many years and has devoted great efforts to promoting cooperation between China and the United States. Under his promotion and leadership, a large number of Americans and companies began to re-understand the ancient East.  After saluting Yang Qiu, he handed over the revised visit itinerary: "President Coolidge has decided to 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, we will also attend the Wall Street Federation of Industry and Commerce reception, the United States  Journalism Defense Sessions¡­Here¡¯s the schedule.¡±

    Xu Xiujun then took out the domestic telegram he had just received: "This is a briefing on the Borneo negotiations. Britain and the Netherlands have once again clearly refused to grant autonomy to the Chinese in West Borneo. But Japan has promised to support us. It has also been agreed that the Prime Minister will reiterate the "China-China Cooperation Agreement" when he visits Tokyo early next month.  Japan Peace Treaty and promote the grain exchange export agreement.¡±

    Yinghe¡¯s clear refusal was not surprising to Yang Qiu, and he would not have opened the door unless absolutely necessary.  If you want to get this special case, you must completely mess up the entire East India, forcing the British and Dutch to be overwhelmed and unable to cope.  Xu Xiujun also knew this and continued: "Zi Qing said that the deployment in East India has basically been completed. It depends on when the fire can be burned and how big it will be!"

    Yang Qiu nodded.

    In the parallel world, the Great East India Rebellion of 1926 is very famous. Its scale is second only to the National Revolutionary Movement of 1911 and the Rice Riots in Asia.  However, this revolution was eventually strangled due to insufficient armed forces, causing the East India gc alliance to disappear and do nothing for twenty years.

    Now it depends on whether Ma Kuais and the others 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 separatist movement in Luzon. If the United States also joins the British and Dutch sides, the situation is still not optimistic, so he turned to Gu Weijun and asked: "What is the reaction of the United States during this period?"

    Gu Weijun said: "The U.S. government has a conservative attitude towards our action to protect overseas Chinese. While it accuses us of creating tension in the South China Sea, it also says that protecting overseas Chinese is the responsibility of all governments, saying that the UK and the Netherlands should not regard this action as a hostile act and block it. I  I think they probably want to wait for President Coolidge to meet with you before clarifying their attitude. However, there are many voices sympathetic to us in the business community and Wall Street. Many people believe that once a war breaks out in Asia, it will destroy their interests in our country, lead to regional instability, and also  It is believed that this is a powerful act by the British government to maintain its hegemony and suppress the world.

    Many American politicians are worried.  Once the confrontation in East India intensifies or a war breaks out, it will most likely lead to widespread workers' and peasants' movements in Southeast Asia and lead to the spread of gc internationalism to the region.  "

    Yang Qiu touched his nose and smiled and said: "They are worried that the investment of more than 2 billion will be wasted, right? But that's fine, we don't need to waste words. Since they are also worried that GC International will accelerate its penetration and lead to a large-scale disaster in Nanyang  Workers¡¯ and peasants¡¯ revolution, then what are we waiting for?¡±

    "What are you waiting for?" Yang Qiu said, Xiao Jinyun arrived in Surabaya with two hundred "militants" from the Malayan Islamic guerrillas.

    Surabaya is the most complex region in East India.  Even more chaotic than Borneo, the United States, Britain, the Netherlands, France, China, Japan, and other forces you can think of can be found here. The largest among them, besides the Netherlands, is the Islamic Alliance.

    The Islamic League of East India is actually a very loose organization, mainly composed of indigenous Sudanese and religious forces from various places. After the arrival of the Dutch colonists, they adopted a high-pressure policy towards religion, resulting in the vast majority of believers living below the poverty line.  Live by cultivation and handicrafts.  The Chinese monopolized the sales of goods, Europe and the United States dumped goods to East India, and Japan engaged in prostitution there. They regarded them as evil forces. They often launched terrorist actions and called for jihad at every turn.  Therefore, except for the United Kingdom, which is relatively moderate towards Islam, other countries do not like these extreme religious elements.

    After arriving in Surabaya, Xiao Jinyun met the liaison officer sent by Zhuang Meisheng.  What surprised him was that both of them had fled from Lanfang to Java for refuge.  Worried about continued massacre, they gritted their teeth and converted to a powerful sect, hoping to rely on religion to protect them from destruction. This is somewhat similar to the early Hui people in history.

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

    People who survive in Nanyang all have good language talents. Malay, Indonesian, English and Chinese are mixed with each other, and some people even speak German, French and Portuguese.  Through deliberate probing and half-baked Malay mixed with English communication, Xiao Jinyun gradually understood the general situation of the Islamic Alliance.

    Soon, the two took him and several bodyguards to an ordinary tribe on the outskirts of Surabaya. This place looked similar to most indigenous tribes. They made a living by hunting and planting cassava. There were half-naked indigenous people everywhere, men.  They were carrying javelins and swords, women were walking around naked, and from time to time, believers could be seen praying devoutly in wooden houses.

    Xiao Jinyun met Abdullah Hawad, the leader of the Islamic guerrillas, in the dense forest deep in the tribe.  He is about forty years old, with broad lips and a dark face.  He also wore two pistols in his waist.  Mullahs and imams who came from all directions after receiving the news were sitting around. There were several young people dressed as students on the far left. The leading man wore a traditional white hat, with bright eyes and a handsome appearance. It was Sukarno who the intelligence department was paying attention to.  .

    Just in case, Xiao Jinyun didn¡¯t look at Sukarno too much. He led everyone to say hello in Islamic etiquette before sitting cross-legged across from them.

    The proficiency in Islamic etiquette and Malay language made the leaders of the East India Islamic Alliance unconsciously less suspicious.  They were all devout believers, and they naturally believed that if they joined Islam, they would never betray it. However, Sukarno gave up the inquiry even after looking at it for a few more times.

    Because now he can only be said to be a revolutionary theorist with great influence, but not a real leader. The leader of the Islamic Alliance is still Khawad.  When he saw Xiao Jinyun sitting down, he saluted and thanked him first.  Then he asked slowly: "Dear Aissa (pseudonym of Xiao Jinyun), thank God for bringing you to us. What is the purpose of your visit this time?"

    "It was the omnipresent Allah who called me here. I heard that there was a confrontation between China and the Netherlands. I thought this was a good opportunity to save believers and safeguard the authority of Islam." Xiao Jinyun spoke very slowly, speaking every word.  Now go through it in your head.

    Before Xiao Jinyun arrived, Hawad, Sukarno and others had already begun to study the opportunity to launch a movement to overthrow the colonists, but internally they were still unable to decide whether to take action.  When Sukarno heard that Xiao Jinyun was here to support the overthrow of colonial movement, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he seemed to see the hope of promoting the anti-colonial movement.  Said: "Dear Aisa, do you also think this is a good opportunity?"

    Hearing the tone, Xiao Jinyun secretly thought something was going on, and quickly continued: "This is the best opportunity God has given us! The colonial army has already headed to West Borneo, and Batavia's rule is very weak."

    Sukarno 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 expressed his lack of strength: "But compared with the colonial army, our strength is too weak."

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

    ¡°There are really thousands of guns?!¡±

    ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? Even Hawad couldn¡¯t sit still.  He leaned forward hoping for confirmation.  Xiao Jinyun nodded and asked his men to open the cloth bag they were carrying. After opening it, Sukarno and others' eyes immediately brightened, and they saw that the cloth bag was filled with revolvers and yellow-orange bullets.  "This is the first batch, and more are waiting to be unloaded outside the dock. However, the pagan colonists are very strict and must wait until night before they can go ashore."

    The gun matter suddenly became easier to deal with. Xiao Jinyun immediately became a popular figure in the Islamic League. He took the opportunity to propose contacting the East India gc alliance in Batavia. Everyone joined hands to overthrow the evil Dutch colonial government, and even became fanatical.  called for jihad and the establishment of an Islamic state in East India.

    To be fair, even Xiao Jinyun and the Nanjing General Staff did not expect things to go so smoothly afterwards, and they could not help but become more vigilant against fanatical religious forces.

    After the meeting, Sukarno, who had ulterior motives, even took the initiative to invite Xiao Jinyun to his home.  But the two of them had just arrived home, and Xiao Jinyun's sudden arrival almost ruined all his previous efforts.

    ¡°Malaya?¡±

    Sukarno¡¯s introduction made Marin, who rushed over in a hurry, very suspicious of Xiao Jinyun¡¯s identity. He had never heard of an Islamic leader named Isa in Malaya.

    Xiao Jinyun also broke into a cold sweat. He didn't expect that Marin would come to see Sukarno first.  Fortunately, his many years of experience in foreign affairs have allowed him to develop good adaptability, and he saluted: "Thank God for allowing me to see you here. You have been away from Malaya for too long. We all hope that you can go back and guide our anti-Japanese movement."

    Marin frowned. He had indeed not been to Malaya for many years.?I muttered secretly whether I was too suspicious.  Since he had a heavy responsibility this time, he did not inquire into the details and turned to Sukarno to explain his purpose.

    Sukarno was the first person in East India to propose combining Marxism, nationalism and Islam into one. This theory was extremely inflammatory to any faction in the darkness, so after careful consideration, Marin decided to come to see him first.  he.  Sukarno was also about to take advantage of the crisis in West Borneo to promote revolution and improve his status. The two hit it off: "Don't worry, Comrade Marin, Isa just now made a proposal to join forces to overthrow the colonial government, and he also brought a lot of guns and ammunition. Now.  The key is where we should launch, Batavia or Surabaya."

    Marin was a little skeptical, because the Dutch government has strict gun control, and it is not easy to get guns in Southeast Asia. He asked: "Comrade Aisa, where did you buy your guns?"

    Xiao Jinyun was well prepared, pretending to be excited and deliberately thanked: "I also want to thank the brothers in Afghanistan. They bought them from the north, and they are all weapons from your country."

    Moscow has begun rearming its armaments after Stalin came to power. How come there are still surplus weapons for sale?  Marin felt even more strange, but Sukarno was extremely happy and felt that he should win over Aisa to become his biggest foreign aid.

    The matter was urgent, and Marin could only suppress his doubts and secretly thought about sending a telegram after returning to Batavia to ask about the situation there.  After explaining the details of launching the uprising and the specific steps, he immediately rushed to meet with Hawad and other Islamic leaders.  Looking at his leaving figure, Xiao Jinyun suddenly noticed that Sukarno had a bad look in his eyes, and suddenly felt strange in his heart. Didn't this young man advocate the Soviet Union and the Communist Party?  Why do you have this look!  Deliberately said: "I don't like these people."

    After Sukarno heard this, his eyes immediately returned to their original state. His warm smile made Xiao Jinyun even suspect that what he just saw was an illusion, and he said quietly: "The East Indian nation needs support from all sides."

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