    At the end of the foothills of Xiaoxishan Mountain, east of the Ministry of National Defense in Xishan District, Beijing, there is a three-story European-style villa with a spacious area.  The fence outside the villa is surrounded by barbed wire, but no signs can be seen either inside or outside.  The beautiful scenery around it and the spacious garden inside will make people think that this is a private villa of a rich man, but in fact it is one of the largest and most secretive departments of the Republic of China, the State Administration of Strategic Intelligence.

    This is a very complex and sophisticated department, directly under the leadership of the Presidential Palace and the General Staff.  Even Congress and the Prime Minister's Office have no right to interfere with how many people it has, how it operates, and how many agencies it has under it. It consumes more funds every year than the National Security Agency and the Military Intelligence Agency combined.  .

    ¡°Compared with his colleagues who are well-dressed and serious, the disheveled Gu Yuwen looks like a downcast chicken sitting in the office, with a short stature, wrinkled coat, and bloodshot eyes.  There were piles of messy documents between the two telephones, one red and one black. Each document was filled with dense numbers and formulas.  After completing his mission in the United States, he was absorbed into the Economic Section of the Strategic Intelligence Service. This section is different from other departments. They are all experts in mathematics and economics. Their main work is to analyze the economic data of various countries through external and confidential channels.  and strategic direction, and then submit it to the President and the General Staff for reference.

    ??From tracking the economic crisis in capitalist countries, to the Soviet Union¡¯s first five-year plan, to the recent Ukrainian famineall economic-related intelligence will be sent here for analysis.  With Roosevelt taking office, keeping an eye on the U.S. economy became a top priority.

    "Section Chief, I just received this." The girl with short hair and uniform walked to the table, looked at the messy desk and smiled, placed the new document in front of Gu Yuwen and began to tidy the desk for him  , nagging: "You are always like this, can't you clean it up?"

    The girl¡¯s name is Yao Hong. She joined the Intelligence Bureau two years ago as secretary of the Economic Section. Because of her sweet appearance, she was pursued by many male colleagues.  But the little girl has a soft spot for Gu Yuwen, who is nicknamed "Gu Duzi".  But Gu Duzi felt nothing. Looking at the new information in front of him, he was even a little confused: "What is this?"

    Yao Hong was also surprised. There was no trace of disappointment on his face. He cleared the table and said, "It's a message from Haihua Company." Haihua Company's predecessor was the American Zhi Gong Tang, after the rapid rise of the National Society.  Borrowing Miao Luo's relationship, Yang Qiu carried out major reforms in Zhi Gong Tang.  Some have become the backbone of the national society¡¯s overseas strength.  Another part was incorporated into Haihua Company. Even Zhuang Meisheng, the current chairman of the West Borneo Sino-Dutch Free Trade Zone, is a member of Haihua Company.

    The General Administration of Strategic Intelligence is mainly responsible for the analysis of strategic intelligence of various countries. It urgently needs overseas power, so naturally it will not have this unique opportunity. After twenty years of hard work, it will gradually use the power of Zhi Gong Tang to reach all over the world.  The current Haihua Company is just a branch of the Strategic Intelligence Bureau, which mainly relies on them to obtain economic intelligence and use money and other means to control foreigners.

    Gu Yuwen is no longer a novice, and of course he knows that Haihua Company is the main source of intelligence for his department.  So check the file immediately.  Yao Hong also took the opportunity to clear the table and introduced the contents: "Most of them are transferred from New York Station. The first piece of news is from the old Gilbert Jew. He said that during this period, Roosevelt's economic adviser  Frequently visiting the Morgan and other families, he also asked about gold reserves one after another. Old Gilbert said that there was a big rumor among the Jewish consortium recently. It was said that the U.S. government had obtained an overseas order worth 6.5 billion US dollars. President Roosevelt was prepared to transfer all of this order  Leave it to them."

    "An order of US$6.5 billionhas the U.S. economic recovery plan been announced?" Gu Yuwen was shocked by this figure.  It's not that the amount is large, but that he has not received any plans for a U.S. economic recovery plan before.  Since there is no plan yet, the US government has received such a large order.

    "No, the intelligence said we are still in a dilemma. The main reason is that the price of gold has soared. Bank lending has completely lost its credit value. It is necessary to control the price of gold and silver to restore the credibility of the financial industry. But one thing is for sure. There are 500 million US dollars in this order.  From Asia!" Yao Hong is indeed the secretary of the Economic Section of the Bureau of Strategic Information. She talks about economic issues clearly and even her pretty face becomes serious.  The introduction continued: "The Foreign Affairs Section has also monitored that the Mississippi Paint Factory has been operating frequently recently, and the entry and exit of U.S. soldiers and vehicles has doubled than usual."

    Yao Hong¡¯s introduction made Gu Yuwen feel something was wrong.  The Mississippi Pigment Factory is the designated ink manufacturer for U.S. dollar printing. It is tightly guarded and cannot penetrate. Therefore, the Intelligence Department uses analysis of entry and exit movements. Although this cannot be 100% accurate, the more special personnel come in and out, generally means more.  Money printing materials were hauled away from many places.  But this is not the main thing. The root of this round of economic crisis lies in the contradiction between the market and deflation. Turning on the money printing press is something every country must do, as long asIf the price of gold and silver goes smoothly, there will be no problem.  The real problem is that Roosevelt's economic recovery plan has not been released yet. Where can he get the order without Congressional review?  And it¡¯s an overseas order!  Even China and the Soviet Union may not be able to swallow such a large amount of money in one go. How could it be thrown to the Jewish family?  What was Roosevelt planning on this order?  Half a billion have definitely come from Asia¡­.

    "What happened!"

    Thinking of this, Gu Yuwen's expression suddenly changed, he grabbed Yao Hong's hand and asked, "Where is the director?"

    The pain on the back of her hand stunned the girl, and she quickly said: "I'm going to Tianjin to accompany the president to receive the US Secretary of State." "Quickly, call them and ask them to prepare a car! I'm going to Tianjin soon." Without saying a word, Gu Yuwen grabbed the  The document ran out and the little girl almost fell down when she passed by.

    When Yao Hong endured the pain in her shoulder and picked up the phone, Gu Duzi at the door realized and shouted: "I'm sorry, I was in a hurry." "No" Yao Hong was about to say  He said it was okay, but he was nowhere to be seen at the door. He didn't know what he was thinking of, so he picked up the phone with a slight smile.

    ?¡­

    The U.S. Secretary of State is here.  Many people have forgotten how many US secretaries of state have visited China, but no one has ever made China the second stop of his visit to Asia like him.  This subtle change made European and American ambassadors and reporters in China smell something strange, and made the future situation in the Far East even more confusing.  But no one knew that in fact, the two tough politicians separated by the vast Pacific Ocean had already made their choices and had quietly completed their first confrontation.

    Although Hurdle chose Japan as his first stop, Yang Qiu still gave him a high level of reception, personally went to Tianjin and opened the Beijing-Tianjin experimental high-speed railway project under construction to him.  Under the scorching sun, technicians are instructing workers to lay rails. High-speed railway rail laying requires high precision, and the entire railway is completely isolated from the outside with barbed wire.

    High-speed railway is a new technology being developed in Europe and the United States.  Chief among them are Italy and France.  In order to catch up with the world, the Beijing-Tianjin experimental high-speed railway project was built in 1931. It plans to use domestic high-power diesel internal combustion engines and use streamlined six-car formations. The design speed is expected to reach 220 kilometers per hour.  There is nothing unusual about being an experimental railway, but it can be seen after 20 years of high-speed construction.  The determination and courage of China's industry to transform from quantity to quality.  This surprised Herder, who was visiting the Far East for the first time, and the accompanying American officials and reporters. They constantly used photos to record this railway, which embodies the Chinese people's determination to catch up with the world at speed.

    The engineer excitedly introduced various details of the railway construction to Heder and Yang Qiu. Reporters gathered around and took pictures of the two walking side by side on the railway track negotiating with each other.  This lively scene makes people seem to have forgotten the purpose of Hurdle's trip. Only Chen Haohui, sitting in a wheelchair in the distance, is not interested in this false excitement. Instead, he is looking at Hurdle's back thoughtfully.

    "Director."

    A shout interrupted his thoughts, and Gu Yuwen hurriedly jumped out of a black car and walked towards him.  Chen Haohui liked this young man who was very good at the economy. When he saw that he was always walking in a hurry, he frowned suddenly.  He asked directly: "What's the matter?" Although Gu Yuwen was anxious.  But he also knew that there were many people here, so he pushed Chen Haohui back to the car and asked several partners from the intelligence department to block their view before telling him the intelligence he had received.

    "Five billion US dollars, Asia?!" Chen Haohui was also shocked by this number.  Five hundred million US dollars is really not a small amount. You must know that the total investment of the Republic of China in Saudi Arabia is only three billion US dollars, if it is used to build battleships.  It is possible to build as many as 12 ships!  The most surprising thing is that this order actually comes from Asia!  It is definitely impossible domestically. After the large-scale procurement in 1930, there have been basically no large foreign orders in China in the past few years. There are only a few countries in Asia that can take such large orders. Apart from the Republic of China, there are only  Japan!

    "Before I came out, I ordered to verify the accuracy at all costs. If the United States really provided Japan with a secret loan of US$500 million, Japan's recovery speed would probably be much faster than we expected. Japan and the United States must have reached a certain agreement.  These secret agreements that we have no way of knowing! On the other hand, it also shows that Roosevelt's economic recovery plan has actually begun. He deliberately bypassed Congress and used the credit of the U.S. government as collateral to allow consortiums such as Morgan to come forward to snatch overseas orders at all costs. According to me  It is estimated that the money will probably be allocated to Japan, Germany and the Soviet Union. Because these three countries are the countries most likely to be supported by the United States. In addition, I suspect that Morgan and the others must have made a deal with Roosevelt, otherwise they would not have been able to obtain such a large order.  This overseas contract, in my opinion, the United States is probably going to make a move on gold! It is not ruled out that Roosevelt will provide loans to the three countries and ask the American conglomerates, Japan and the Soviet Union.Take action to stabilize U.S. gold prices  "

    ¡°Provide funds to build 12 battleships, and also use this to let Japan and the Soviet Union stabilize the price of gold in the United States?!¡± Even though he didn¡¯t understand much about economics, Chen Haohui felt a chill in his heart.  If this is true This Roosevelt's calculation ability is probably no worse than that of Yang Qiu!
