Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    "There are three dangers in the southwest, Chengdu-Kunming, Sichuan-Zang and Xin-Zang."

    This sentence has been spread within the Republic of China government since the Sichuan-Tibet Highway project was established in 1928.  It is talking about the three major arteries of Chengdu-Kunming Railway, Sichuan-Tibet Highway and Xinjiang-Tibet Highway.  Among them, the Chengdu-Kunming Railway and the Xinjiang-Tibet Highway both broke ground in 1933 after several years of surveying and mapping.  It is difficult for ordinary construction companies to undertake such a difficult and dangerous natural chasm, so the main contractor is the National Infrastructure Construction Company, the only state-owned construction company in the Republic of China.  Most of this company is composed of veterans, and the military provides technical and engineering support. Since its establishment, it has made a name for itself on several major national projects.

    But even so, the Chengdu-Kunming Railway and the Xinjiang-Tibet Highway are still full of difficulties.

    After inspecting the three national defense trunk roads, he went to Wuhan, Changsha, Kunming and other places for investigation. He was originally planning to go to Qinzhou and Zhanjiang, but due to delays in his schedule, he had to postpone it and first went to Hong Kong to attend the Sino-British handover ceremony.

    On July 7, 1936, the Union Jack flag flying over Hong Kong finally slowly fell. As the last Governor slowly sailed away from Victoria Bay under the protection of a cruiser, it also meant that the colonial humiliation after the Opium War finally ended in China.  The earth completely disappeared and China became a complete sovereign country.

    However, on the tenth day after all walks of life in the Republic of China cheered the return of Hong Kong, the sound of gunfire was finally heard in Europe after the Paris Peace Conference. After Franco, with the support of Germany and Italy, took control of Spain's most elite regiment stationed in Morocco,  Blatantly provoking a civil war and launching an attack on the left-wing alliance controlled by the Soviet Union.  Shortly after the war broke out, Germany and Italy respectively announced intervention.  Hitler even used advanced weapons such as high-performance HE111, JU87 dive bombers and BF109 fighter jets on the Spanish battlefield, and also formed a "Condor Legion" to actively intervene.  Mussolini even sent more than 10,000 soldiers to Spain at one go.  By the end of the war, the total number of Italian soldiers in Spain exceeded 50,000.

    In order to preserve the fruits of victory and realize the dream of the revolutionary wave in Western Europe, Stalin also ordered support for the National Army. About 500 Soviet officers took off their military uniforms and arrived in Spain. At the same time, members of the Communist Party of China from 54 countries in the world traveled across mountains and rivers to Spain to form an international column to support the national army.  army, of which Jews accounted for a quarter of the total.

    And Britain, which claims to be the leader of Europe and the world's sole hegemon, is worried that the revolutionary wave will spread to itself.  Refusing to provide any assistance to either side, Chamberlain deliberately suppressed the Royal Navy and prevented its involvement, while France sealed its borders to allow the Republican attack.

    On July 23, the fifth day after the civil war broke out, China and the United States, desperately trying to accumulate strength, declared neutrality almost simultaneously.

    The outbreak of the civil war also caused diplomats from all over the world to end their 18-year vacation, and the frequency of diplomatic activities around the world increased severalfold.  Betrayal, trade, temptation, alliance, etc.  With extraordinary political acumen, they all realized that another war was getting closer and closer.

    By this time, Yang Qiu had arrived in Berlin to attend the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games.

    As a world sports event, due to factors such as the Spanish Civil War and Europe once again falling on the brink of war, the Berlin Olympics has evolved into a grand event in the world political circle.  Politicians from various countries in Europe, America and Asia gathered together to take advantage of this opportunity to observe the situation, exchange opinions and compete with each other.

    First it was the return to the Rhineland, then the Olympics.  For Germany, which suffered the consequences of the European War, Hitler's personal prestige was due to his extraordinary oratory skills.  It has risen to such an extent that the entire Berlin is shrouded in swastika flags.

    This time when Yang Qiu visited Germany, he was not as low-key as before. Instead, he frequently attended various social events and repeatedly emphasized the common ground between China and Germany, knocking off the Soviet threat, thereby sending a wrong signal to Moscow.

    In the corridor of Bellevue Palace, Heydrich and Hillem stood side by side, chatting and laughing with Dai Yunong opposite them. The three figures who were active in the intelligence community had not realized that they would become direct opponents for a long time in the future.  .  At least now, they look more like close comrades in the trenches, talking to each other about the situation and studying their respective security situations.

    A parasol was set up on the lawn outside the corridor, and several figures under the umbrella were chatting happily.  In addition to Yang Qiu and accompanying Gu Weijun, Mussolini's appearance gave the talks more of a sense of choosing sides.  Obviously, both Hitler and Mussolini hoped to bring China into their arms, so they took this opportunity to talk about the raging Spanish Civil War and repeatedly exaggerated the threats from the Soviet Union and Moscow.  It is a pity that Yang Qiu has never been interested in this civil war. Not only did he declare neutrality before setting off, he also prohibited the government and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs from making any remarks about the war.  Of course, he will not miss a good opportunity to make money in vain. Some domestic companies are providing "humanitarian and commercial assistance" to the warring parties.

    Regarding this deliberate topic, he knew exactly what it meant, and took the initiative to interrupt: "Both of you, I deeply regret what the Spanish left-wing National Government has done, and I also support Franco.General Brother's resistance movement, but our country will not intervene in this war, and I will maintain the principle of neutrality in European affairs.  "

    Hitler and Mussolini looked at each other with only happiness and no disappointment.  Europe is their Europe, and the Chinese should not have come in the first place. Of course, superficial work still needs to be done: "Your Excellency Yang Qiu, the spread of gcism is threatening the entire civilized world, and any condonation is not allowed. gcs should be eliminated  International movement to destroy the evil Soviet Union. Only by joining forces can we break the Versailles system and establish a new world order."

    It was Mussolini who spoke.  Compared with the skinny Hitler, the Nazi godfather was tall and had sharp eyes. Even when attending such diplomatic events, he was dressed in military uniform, with an upturned mouth and a proud personality, as if he had foreseen the defeat of Britain and France to dominate the Mediterranean.  Another person might be tempted, but how could Yang Qiu.  This person is typically high-minded but not as reliable as Hitler, so he said in standard German: "Mr. Mussolini, I am no less worried about Moscow than the two of you. There are very big conflicts between China and the Soviet Union on border issues.  I'm also very interested in the anti-GC alliance declaration, but I'd rather hear how the two plan to deal with our common enemy."

    Mussolini¡¯s German was very poor, so he listened carefully to the repetition in the translation.  Next to him, Hitler's eyes lit up.  He tried many times before but failed to persuade China to join the anti-GC alliance. Has he changed his mind now?  He immediately said in his unique Austrian accent: "Mr. Yang Qiu. The Soviet Union is our common enemy. The evil Moscow is crazy about armaments and is using Spanish traitors to export revolution. To deal with such enemies, they should be completely eliminated from the body to the spirit!"  Only by eradicating all inferior ethnic groups such as Georgia and Slavs can we build a new world together."

    Yang Qiu would not be moved by such false talk. He held the tea cup and squinted his eyes slightly, waiting for the next words.  Hitler is indeed the most observant politician in Europe at present. He quickly realized that he would not be able to impress the other party without a practical plan.  So Xiangxiang continued: "Mr. Mussolini and I have been discussing the formation of a new alliance. The purpose of this alliance is to smash the Versailles noose around our necks, defeat the Soviet Union, eradicate the Jewish parasites, and establish a German,  Italy and China¡¯s New World Axis.¡±

    "New axis?" Yang Qiu raised his eyebrows, thinking of the "Steel Alliance" that would appear in a few years, pretending to be very interested: "Is it aimed at the Soviet Union? What should we do? When will we send troops?"

    Three questions caused the air under the awning to suddenly heat up.  Yang Qiu quietly waited for Hitler's reply.  To be honest, if he agrees to attack the Soviet Union first, then he will be sure to deal with Kazakhstan first, so that he can advance the northwest defense line hundreds of kilometers.  Without Kazakh support, Turkmenistan and Central Siberia would be a joke. That would not only solve the security problem in the northwest.  It can also realize its dream of controlling the Persian Gulf.  Even if a war breaks out, you can still remain invincible, and the price you pay will be quite small.  But if it is the opposite, another thorny issue has to be considered, whether Sood will move closer.

    Stalin was not a fool. The current conflict between the Soviet Union and Germany was just that he and Hitler disliked each other.  It's ideological, it's a political conflict.  In addition, Germany hopes to make Britain and France relax their vigilance by cracking down on gcism.  On the contrary, China and the Soviet Union have irreconcilable territorial conflicts. Stalin will not fail to see this. Therefore, once he finds that China poses a greater threat than Germany, he does not rule out signing an agreement similar to the partition of Poland and moving closer to Germany to concentrate on fighting on the Eastern Front.  Once the Soviet Union and Germany join forces, even in name only, it will cause considerable trouble for the entire world war situation.  Especially in the Persian Gulf region, where the Strait of Malacca is not completely controlled and all depends on ocean transportation, it will be a big test for the National Defense Forces and the General Staff to stop the Soviet army from moving south.

    How would Hitler reply?  Gu Weijun's palms were sweating.

    As the best politician in Europe before World War II who knew how to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, Hitler certainly did not want to confront the Soviet Union too early.  China is not afraid of the Soviet Union's military expansion because the roads in northwest and Central Asia cannot be paved with so many troops, but it can really feel the threat from the north.  2.3 million.  No, after more than half a year, it is extremely terrifying to have hundreds of thousands more Soviet troops. The Soviet-German border is flat and undefendable. With the current strength of the German army, once the Soviet troops move westward, they will not be able to stop it.

    But Hitler also realized that there must be a practical plan, so he continued: "The world must have new leaders! Germany, Italy and China must shoulder this responsibility. The noose must be smashed and we must rule from the Atlantic to Kamchat  The African people should be liberated on this continent. Even on land, there should be a complete and unified Europe! Of course, we can leave the specific operations to the generals for study. My opinion is always the same. Defeat France and the Soviet Union.  Force Britain to withdraw from the war and completely destroy Moscow!"

    "Mr. Yang Qiu, there is no conflict of interest between the Kingdom of Germany and Italy and China."After victory, we can hand over all the lands east of India to you to rule. Only a ruler like you can bring happiness and freedom to the people there.  For our common goal, it is necessary to make early contacts and share resources and technology so that we can work together to defeat these enemies.  "Hitler waved his fists and spoke excitedly as if he was mobilizing before the war. However, Gu Weijun, who was sitting in the back, pinched his eyebrows quietly and looked at Yang Qiu who had no expression from the corner of his eyes. He knew in his heart that these words were equivalent to a complete blockade.  The possibility of China and Germany.

    He guessed right. This sentence really made Yang Qiu give up the idea of ????solving the Soviet Union with Germany first.  Hitler was still too persistent in taking revenge on France. The Versailles system was the foundation of British and French world hegemony.  We want to destroy it, Roosevelt wants to destroy it, Stalin wants to destroy it, Germany and Italy also want to destroy it, but everyone knows that destroying this system must be a war.  Although he also dreamed of allying with Germany to defeat Britain and France, he could not reach the United States after all.  It's not that they're afraid of the United States, but that when they can't land on American soil and the United States can't land on the territory of the Republic of China, only a devil would be willing to fight a war of attrition that is doomed to be fruitless and has an unknown purpose.

    The most annoying thing is that this mustache actually wants to interfere in the Suez Canal and the Persian Gulf!  This is a place that must be fought over. After a world war, if you can't exclusively control this place, you might as well be neutral.  From Suez to Malacca, more than half of the world's shipping, half of the world's oil, and a quarter of the population and market.

    What¡¯s the point of fighting this war if Germany gets involved?  If you don't lift the table right away, you're in good temper!

    As for Africa, Soviet interests, Central Asia, etc., this guy didn¡¯t even mention it, which is obviously a foreshadowing.  It's really ridiculous that such a small thing wants to share some technologies that even Britain and France covet.

    However, he did not show any dissatisfaction. Instead, he smiled and listened to Hitler's "great strategy" concept before asking: "Breaking the Versailles system will inevitably lead to a full-scale war with Britain and France, which will be very difficult. I don't know if you have considered it. If  What should we do if the United States gets involved?¡±

    "America? Haha" Mussolini smiled wildly after understanding, as if he had heard the best joke: "Your Excellency Yang Qiu, the United States will not join the war. They have long hated  Through the Treaty of Versailles, President Roosevelt even provided economic help to our two countries. Moreover, American businessmen would not agree to be involved in the war. Their domestic isolationism is very serious, and there are many people who support us. If they provide us with  Declaring war will cause tens of billions of investments to be wiped out, and there will be a more serious economic disaster, so I am sure they will not do that."

    Since when can businessmen and the economy decide wars?  Yang Qiu looked at Hitler, who obviously also believed that the United States would not be involved in the European war, which made him sigh in his heart.  They clearly underestimated Roosevelt's ambitions.  It is true that Roosevelt would not take action himself. He only wanted to break the Versailles system with the help of Soviet Germany, but he did not want to see the emergence of unipolar Europe.  At this point, China and the United States are the same. Europe can live without the Soviet Union and Germany, but it cannot be unified!

    But having said that, except for myself, no one in the world really thinks that the United States will be involved in the European war. After all, the Paris Peace Treaty hurt the United States too deeply. Even Roosevelt was unable to break through the siege of isolationism. Historically, it was only through sneak attacks by Japan.  Only then did he break through the constraints of Congress.

    After walking out of Bellevue Palace and getting in the car, Yang Qiu smiled helplessly at Gu Weijun: "Shaochuan, do you understand? It's better to rely on yourself than to rely on anyone else! Let Yan Baohang be released. It's time to make the situation clear!  "

    Gu Weijun nodded, the negotiation ended on bad terms.

    He knew that there had always been a deep German sentiment in the country, and the majority of them were members of the National Socialist Party. Because many of them had experienced cooperation with Germany before the European War and the Rhineland Plan after the war, they subjectively believed that China and Germany  is the best ally.

    But in fact, Europe must not have only one voice.  Even if China cannot do it, the United States will do it
