    After returning to Beijing by car, Huddle took Jason into the presidential palace regardless of the fatigue of a day of visiting.

    Yang Qiu did not hold a grand ceremony. He asked Yan Yuqiu to pour tea for the two of them in the small living room, and then asked: "Why don't you two take a rest first? Do you think you dislike my poor greeting?"

    "Thank you for your hospitality, but I feel it is necessary to solve those small problems for you as soon as possible. I think that only by ensuring long-term peace in the Far East can our two countries have more cooperation." Huddle is worthy of being a political evergreen, short  A few short sentences not only downplayed the Sino-Japanese conflict as a minor trouble, but also pointed out the fact that China still needs the help of the United States in catching up with developed countries in the world.

    If it weren't for Chen Haohui's secret report just now, I'm afraid Yang Qiu really doesn't want to get entangled in this matter. After all, there are currently nearly 100,000 American talents in China. Whether it is a war or their departure, it will have an impact on many important projects. He doesn't want to  I saw the picture of later generations in which the development of the country came to a standstill due to the conflict between China and the Soviet Union.

    In fact, Roosevelt's loan to Japan was not a big deal. What is really worrying is what agreement was reached behind the loan.  You must know that Roosevelt was not a philanthropist. Could it be the Philippines?  No, even if the United States withdraws from Nanyang, it will not be able to let Japan take over openly. It will definitely create conflicts between China and Japan first.  If not the Philippines, then what is it?  Yang Qiu still couldn't figure out the secret behind the transaction, so he simply didn't want to think about it and said, "Mr. Secretary of State, do you think that Japan's stealing of our country's naval equipment is just a minor contradiction? This despicable behavior is not allowed to happen in any country.  Yes, I will never condone this matter, and I believe that if it happened in the United States, President Roosevelt would not either."

    Hurdle admitted that Yang Qiu is one of the few political acting geniuses he has ever seen, but what hasn¡¯t he seen in more than 30 years of experience in American politics?  What's more, he firmly believed that Yang Qiu would not take the initiative to end the Sino-US honeymoon now, so he replied unhurriedly: "Mr. President, I have investigated this matter in detail when I was in Japan. Prime Minister Okada is a responsible politician  , he has assured me that the Japanese government definitely did not plan this matter, and this should be a frame-up by hostile forces."

    "Really?" Yang Qiu squinted at Jason who was sitting next to him and said, "Then how did Prime Minister Okada explain that confession? It's impossible to say that I arranged it deliberately! This matter has already seriously threatened  Our country¡¯s military security cannot be ended so easily and must be investigated clearly.¡±

    Heder also didn¡¯t believe that Yang Qiu would fake it, because now was not a good time to start a war.  Originally, he was worried about how to convince the strongman, but the last word "investigation" caught Johnson's attention, and he hurriedly followed the stick: "I very much agree with your opinion, and the US government is also willing to help you investigate this matter."  Detailed and serious investigation, but before that we hope to end the dispute over Sakhalin and ensure Japan's oil supply. This is not only to create a good environment for the investigation to be held, but also related to the relationship between our two countries. You know  Yes, the U.S. government¡¯s credit guarantee must live up to its word.¡±

    ?Joint investigation?  It¡¯s almost like mud!  Yang Qiu snorted coldly in his heart.

    But in the final analysis, this matter is all about testing to make a judgment for the next move, so the key is to see what kind of benefits can be obtained in exchange for ending it.  So he raised his eyebrows, put on a serious expression and began to think deeply.

    Yan Yuqiu, who was sitting next to him, smiled secretly.  She knew that whenever Yang Qiu looked like this, it meant that he already had wisdom.  Sure enough, after thinking for a long time, Yang Qiu suddenly waved his hand: "Yu Qiu, go out first and close the door."

    Yang Qiu¡¯s sudden move to drive away the secretary made both Heder and Jason stunned. They realized that there might be something confidential, so they also asked the translator to leave temporarily.  When there were only three people left in the room, Yang Qiu spoke bluntly: "There is no one else now, so we might as well be more direct. I don't want to hide this from you two, which has aroused strong resentment among the public and the military in our country. I have received dozens of letters."  Demand the recovery of the Sakhalin oil field and hand over the letters and reports of the culprits. Public sentiment needs to be calmed, and the military needs a reason! If there is no satisfactory result, the consequences will definitely be very serious. I think you two should know that this aircraft  How important airplanes are to our country! To put it lightly, it is a technical leak, but to put it seriously, it will probably lead to the safety of our country's maritime borders and airspace, so if you want to solve this matter, you must give me a good reason!"

    ¡°These words are already naked. Both Hurdle and Johnson know that the Sino-Japanese espionage case has become a hot topic. If the result cannot be reached in the end, the Beijing government and military will be humiliated!  It might even lead to the loss of Yang Qiu's personal prestige.  No politician wants to risk his or her reputation.  Historically, there have been many regional conflicts caused by espionage cases.  Therefore, there are only two ways now, either to hand over the Sakhalin oil field to China to calm down the anger, or to find a way to divert public attention.  But this transfer has to be bigger and more important.?This will allow the public to put aside the espionage case for a while.

    But what can divert the attention of more than 500 million Chinese people?

    Before the two of them could come up with a solution, Yang Qiu rolled his eyes and raised his finger: "I have a suggestion. If Prime Minister Okada is really willing to resolve this matter and restore friendship between the two countries, then I hope that he and President Roosevelt will support our country."  Do you think it¡¯s OK to host the 1935 World Expo or the 1936 Olympic Games?¡±

    Hurdle couldn't keep up with the rhythm, and he looked at Jason to see if he heard correctly.  The latter also opened his mouth slightly, not expecting that Yang Qiu would actually propose this condition.  Even though they were in the position of competitors, the two of them really admired his negotiation skills!

    This is indeed a good approach, and it also hits the weakness of the United States and Japan, which want to resolve the conflict as soon as possible and seize the time to restore the economy.  If China can obtain the right to host the World Expo or the Olympic Games, it will definitely put aside its temporary hatred and make full efforts to plan. Over time, domestic pressure will naturally reduce a lot, but if it agrees, won't it help China improve its international status?  Heder did not dare to nod, this matter must be treated with caution.  But he believes that if the United States and Japan clearly support it, and China only needs to deal with Italy, France, Germany and other countries, then it may not be impossible to host a World Expo or the Olympic Games.

    After sending the two people away, Wang Zhengting and Yue Peng walked in immediately. It was obvious that everyone was worried about the high loans provided by the United States to Japan.  As Gu Yuwen predicted, this is bound to accelerate Japan's recovery speed. What's more important is that no one knows what the transaction is behind the loan!  If the United States and Japan signed some secret agreement against China, it could not even be ruled out that the United States, Japan and the Soviet Union would attack China in the future, so I was worried and came to learn about the situation overnight.

    When he heard that Yang Qiu had raised the issue of ending the conflict with the support of the United States and Japan in hosting the Olympic Games or World Expo, Wang Zhengting's image as prime minister completely disappeared. His eyes widened and he breathed heavily: "President, is this true?" No wonder he was excited, no matter it was the World Expo  Either the Olympics or the Olympics are the best means to enhance the country's image. Although the Two Sessions at this time are not as exaggerated as the tens of billions in later generations and the TV ads that flood the world, and their influence is much smaller, it is a global event after all.

    Yang Qiu chuckled, looked at Wang Zhengting, who had been with him for many years, and said with a smile: "I don't know if it will come true even if the conditions are put forward. You should know that Europe and the United States have always been repulsive and wary of us yellow people, and Japan has also tried before  To hold such global events, I refuse directly every time. Of course, I hope it will succeed, and I will just give some merit to Confucianism Hall."

    This last sentence shocked Wang Zhengting, and his eyes became moist.  To be honest, as long as Yang Qiu himself makes no mistakes and leaves the political arena, then the Prime Minister of the Republic of China will be just a decoration. His achievements are enough to influence several generations.  Therefore, since he became prime minister, he has been keeping a low profile and handling domestic affairs carefully, because he knows that he is just a green leaf.  But he didn't expect that Yang Qiu actually planned to give himself the great achievement of hosting the two sessions!

    No matter how stupid you are, you all know that if you succeed by yourself, Wang Zhengting¡¯s name will always be engraved on the monument of the Republic of China.

    "President." Wang Zhengting squirmed and was speechless with gratitude, but Yang Qiu waved his hand as if it was just a small thing: "I haven't finished speaking yet. Even if the United States and Japan openly support it, there will be many more  The country needs you to convince yourself, so I¡¯m just making the beginning. But don¡¯t worry, as long as the United States and Japan support it, you can go ahead and do it, even if the cost is higher!¡±

    Yue Peng was also very moved. Yang Qiu was not a heartless person after all.  But he was more concerned about the loan. He said: "Roosevelt needs to buy time to restore the economy. Japan will also need two or three years to prepare after receiving the funds. If we can be dragged into the grand event, it will just satisfy their desire to buy time. President, you  This timing is great! But how should we deal with Japan? Five hundred million US dollars is already a lot, and the Soviet Union will definitely get at least two billion US dollars. The pressure is getting bigger and bigger."

    Aren¡¯t they just asking for military expenses? Yang Qiu glared at Yue Peng and said angrily: ¡°Okay, don¡¯t act stupid here, the extra military expenses are all in the hands of the Confucian Hall.¡±

    "In my hands?" Wang Zhengting, who was still immersed in the dream of Olympic Prime Minister, was stunned, pointed at his nose and smiled bitterly: "President, this year's budget has been seriously overrun. If we really get the right to host the Two Sessions, it will be three to five at least.  With an expenditure of hundreds of millions, how can we still have money?¡±

    Yang Qiu smiled and shook his finger: "Not enough, absolutely not enough! We are not Europe and the United States with well-equipped facilities. To hold such a grand event, many new projects need to be built, so I estimate it will cost at least 2 billion."

    "Two, two billion!" Wang Zhengting's jaw dropped.  That year, the New York World Expo only spent a total of 5 million US dollars, and last year's Los Angeles Olympics only had a budget of 50 million US dollars. He said that 3.5 billion was already an exaggeration, but when Yang Qiu came here, it directly increased to 2 billion. This is not  What a joke!  It really costs so much money, then he is not the Olympic Prime Minister, but a waste of Prime Minister.

    It was then that Yue Peng reacted and his eyes lit up: "President, do you mean to put military spending into the Olympic budget?"

    "It's not the Olympic budget, it's not the military expenditure, it's the construction cost!" Yang Qiu strengthened his tone and said: "We are not the Soviet Union. Too much military expenditure makes opponents more vigilant, so you give up on the idea of ????expanding the army on a grand scale. Rutang  I can only use part of it to stockpile supplies for you and add some new equipment for training soldiers, and the rest will have to wait."

    Yue Peng was already very happy to be able to increase military spending, so he didn't care whether it was a secret or not. Only Wang Zhengting said with a sad face: "President, budget approval needs to be approved by Congress. Wang Zhaoming manages the Finance and Budget Committee. I'm afraid this won't be passed. Even if it's passed by taking a step back.  No, we don¡¯t have any money either!¡±

    "The money will come soon, don't worry about that. As for how to find a solution through your own efforts." Yang Qiu did not explain how the money came, but took a deep breath, and his face gradually became serious: "Judging from this test, Roosevelt  His strategy has been very clear. It is to support the Soviet Union, Germany and Japan as much as possible to break the Versailles system without breaking the current relationship between our two countries. What he hopes most now is probably that Japan and the Soviet Union will attack us from both sides, and Germany, Britain and France will be hostile.  It's best to fight them all, and then let the United States step up and clean up the mess. But hum! He took action too early! It's obvious that he just came to power and hasn't fully understood the situation in Japan. Five hundred million! Humph, too much money will be scalding.  .I will make him understand what kind of country he supports!"

    By the end of the sentence, Yang Qiu's tone had become sharp and stern: "Don't worry about this matter, just make good preparations. This is a war between me and him!"

    In Keelung City, Huang Yufei stood in front of Dai Yunong in military uniform, smiling and high-spirited.  No one could imagine his mood at this moment. After several years, this outstanding agent who was lurking around the enemy could finally put on his beloved military uniform again.

    "Take a seat. How is the plane?"

    "Report to Director Dai that the plane has left Fuding. The first stop should be Luzon. People from the Military Intelligence Bureau have already taken over. Also, the person who transferred the Coast Guard is a major staff officer from the Fujian Garrison Office of the Southwest Theater. He has already  An arrest has been made and it is being investigated whether more senior officers were involved.¡±

    Major staff officer. Hidden quite deeply.  After Dai Yunong sneered twice, he glanced at Huang Yufei, who was sitting like a mountain: "Yufei, you did a good job! The president and the Ministry of National Defense decided after discussing it to award you the second-level National Medal of Honor. I hope you will continue to work hard.

    "As soon as he finished speaking, there was a small brocade box in his hand. Huang Yufei almost stopped breathing when he saw the brocade box, and his heart was pounding with excitement. The second-level National Medal of Honor is already very high.  He received the standard treatment, so he immediately stood up, straightened his back, and saluted: "Thank you, Director, for your cultivation. Please tell the President that Yu Fei will never change his loyalty to the country.  "

    After waiting for the medal to be presented, Huang Yufei's body began to tremble.  But after a while, he calmed down again, and his fingers slowly slid over the edge of the silver medal. A trace of reluctance flashed in his eyes before he took off the medal that had not been warmed and slowly stuffed it into his pocket.  Even Dai Yunong secretly admired his move. This is a talent!  He sighed deliberately: "In our line of work, I'm afraid you won't be able to be in the limelight for the rest of your life."

    Huang Yufei was very reluctant to part with it, but he knew better that this medal could only be worn in this office. After they left the door, they wanted to disappear invisible.  However, he had been prepared since he joined the National Security Bureau. He pinched the medal in his pocket and whispered: "Director, Yu Fei has no regrets."

    "Okay!" Dai Yunong patted him, turned around and took out a piece of naval gun information and handed it over: "This is the information on the 480mm naval gun developed by the Chongqing factory, and it is also your new mission."

    Such a big naval gun?  Huang Yufei even forgot about the medal and took the document with his mouth wide open.  This was the first time he heard that there was such a large-caliber cannon in the country, and he immediately took a closer look out of curiosity.  The information is not detailed, and it is not to the level that it can be copied, but the power, range and other data and test progress are very detailed. Dozens of photos are also very clear, and there are several people who can be named.  The naval admiral took a photo with it, and it was clear at first glance that this cannon was real.

    Such a powerful naval gun should have been a secret weapon, so why was it sent to Japan?  When he looked at Dai Yunong in confusion, the latter smiled slyly: "Go to Ryukyu and find a local named Tokuda Kyuichi. He will cooperate with you to hand over this information to the Japanese Navy."
