Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    One was willing to fight and the other was willing to suffer. Beizuyi quickly reached an agreement with Jacob to exchange 70 million US dollars for 3,000 officers and cadets, and they themselves would send them to Spain to join the war.  But it's not that simple to leave. At least you have to sell the arms and receive gold first.

    Since Yang Qiu had not returned yet, Jacob was worried about something happening on the way, so he immediately sent a telegram to Europe to contact the National Army.  Compared with the Republican Army supported by Germany and Italy, the Spanish National Army is at a clear disadvantage in terms of equipment and numbers, and has long hoped to obtain arms supplies.  However, due to the British and French embargo, most countries expressed neutrality, and Stalin was too cautious to sell weapons. Therefore, after the desperate National Government troops got the news, they did not hesitate to use their gold reserves worth 330 million U.S. dollars to buy  Including 30,000 submachine guns, 10,000 Han-II light machine guns, 30,000 grenade launchers, hundreds of 75mm guns, 200 fighter jets, and 260 Renault tanks, enough to arm a large number of 5 infantry divisions.  Weapons and ammunition.

    In order to complete the deal as soon as possible and pick up the officers and cadets, Jacob did not care about many, and immediately rented 21 merchant ships from Mexico, Brazil and other countries that supported the National Army to transport this batch of weapons, and also launched the Rothschild  The German family and the Zionist Organization helped with the transportation, and even a batch of gold that did not arrive in time due to the war was subsidized by reserves from the Hong Kong branch of Standard Chartered Bank.

    What made him happy was that this time Yang Qiu did not break the promise again. Shortly after the gold arrived in Qinzhou, three thousand officers and cadets also secretly arrived in Guangxi by train.  After the train door opened, David Morris, who had changed into civilian clothes, jumped out first. This young man, who was only 19 years old at the time, had been in the National Defense Forces for 13 years.  Although he was full of resentment in his heart, he had to admit that it was this period of time that transformed him from a young and enthusiastic young man to a qualified army major.

    Yan Baohang stood quietly behind the small window on the second floor of the station that was closed due to military mobilization.  Recalling the scene when I first met David Morris in Baoding College, chatted with him for the first time, and accepted a four-year military study career together, I felt a little sad.  National interestthis thing is really a double-edged sword.  "What? Remember the friendship between classmates?" Xiao Jinyun stood beside him, handed a cigarette and looked at David Morris who was hugging Jacob with a smile: "Why don't you go down and reminisce about old times?"

    Yan Baohang shook his head: "Some things are worse than missing each other when we meet, so that we can feel better in the future." This sentence aroused the thoughts of the two of them.  How many people working in intelligence can live happily for the rest of their lives?  The more secrets he masters, the heavier his heart becomes. Just like Chen Haohui, who is now worshiping the Buddha behind closed doors without leaving home, it is not because of Qin Jian's death that he cannot overcome this hurdle.  David Morris was a classmate though.  But he is a Jew after all.  To be honest, if there are a few more years, after the Persian Gulf is completely controlled, it will not be a big deal to let them return to Jerusalem. At most, they can help the Arabs train a few divisions.  But now it is not completely under control, and it is still a British and French world over there.  In other words, he used Saudi Arabia to win favor and got involved.  If it weren't for the pressure from the Zionist group and the large number of Jewish soldiers in the Spanish Civil War, these people might have to wait another four or five years.

    Yan Baohang didn¡¯t want to mention this matter again, so he turned around and asked, ¡°The following matters are up to you.¡±

    "Don't worry, people have already made arrangements. More than thirty people are all disguised as gc international party members to keep an eye on them. Our people in Germany are ready to find ways to induce them to take action when they get the signal. As long as it is not a total annihilation  , they were slowly consumed in batches in that environment. It would not attract much attention." Xiao Jinyun told the story of how he arranged for people to secretly follow the Jewish officers to Spain, and then followed them to find ways to eliminate them in batches.

    Yan Baohang doesn't think so. There is no airtight wall in the world: "Don't underestimate them. Even if there is no evidence, I'm sure they will suspect that we did it, and I'm afraid they will turn to Britain and the United States in the future."

    "This matter forget it, let's not talk about it. The president must have his own ideas. Having an enemy can also show our importance in the Arab world." Xiao Jinyun laughed.  In fact, he also knew that the Jews would gradually leave China after this disaster, but this matter was ordered by Yang Qiu.  It's not easy for those of them who execute orders to ask too many questions.  Seeing the officer outside the window, he started to get on the boat and said, "By the way, I have asked someone to send the letter left by No. 1. I estimate that it will be discovered by the Soviet Union in the next few days at the latest. Please pay attention over there."

    "Well, I'll pay attention."

    "Haha, do you think Stalin would believe the contents of the letter?"

    Recalling the arrangement before No. 1's death, Yan Baohang was also impressed. He raised the corner of his mouth and stubbed out the cigarette butt: "What does it matter whether you believe it or not? If he wants an excuse, we will give him an excuse. Besides, as long as No. 1 is not exposed, he will  I won¡¯t be able to sleep for the rest of my life!¡±

    "That's true. It's a pity that he can't sleep well, and I'm afraid we can't sleep well either. Please take care of Zhang Zhidan. It's time for the Afghan gang to move around." Xiao Jinyun also put out his cigarette butt and turned to leave, but after two steps  Step by step but suddenly? Stopped: "By the way, the above didn't say anything about getting things done. Do you want me to take care of you, a classmate?"

    Yan Baohang was stunned for a moment, turned to look at David Morris who got into the boat, and nodded: "Thank you very much."

    After secretly escorting David Morris and other Jewish officers to leave, Yan Baohang immediately escorted the gold back to Beijing.  A total of 270 tons of gold made Bei Zuyi smile from ear to ear.  You must know that this batch of gold is worth more than 330 million U.S. dollars in his hands. It can be used for currency reserves to issue more RMB. Counting the 70 million U.S. dollars that Jacob cashed in, he will earn 400 million U.S. dollars in one fell swoop.  Dollar.  However, he was not happy for long. After sending gold to the national treasury for use as currency reserves, the remaining US$70 million that should have been used to build universities was immediately used to purchase wheat, cotton and other agricultural products from the United States.  Of course, universities also need to be built, so 50 million yuan has been allocated to the Ministry of Education to build eight more universities in the next five years. Minister Zhu Jiahua, who has been worried that investment in education will decrease after the economy shifts to armaments, is confused and continues.  I thought it was a joke when I got the call.

    How does he know that this amount of money is nothing to the skyrocketing central government finances.  After "Made in China" became famous through the World Expo, overseas profits from silk stockings alone have reached 2 billion yuan this year.  Calculated since last year's World Expo, the total profit has been 3 billion yuan.  As it is launched into the domestic market early next year, and Europe and the United States may still not be able to produce similar products in the next year, the profit of the nylon industry next year will reach at least 4 billion yuan.  According to this figure, by the end of next year, in the nylon industry alone, the central government, which holds half of the shares, will directly receive 3.5 billion yuan in dividends, not counting 600 million yuan in taxes.

    If calculated based on the unit price of 450,000 yuan given by Airbus, the nylon industry alone has brought money to the country in three years.  You can purchase 9,100 Yinjiu transport aircraft!  This does not include the profits from other industrial export products such as metal electronic tubes, so Gu Yuwen boldly predicted that the fiscal revenue of the Republic of China in 1936 would exceed the 40 billion yuan mark.

    Some people are happy, but others are angry. In the Kremlin conference room, Stalin almost stuck his pipe into Yezhov's nostrils.  "Comrade Yezhov, how do you do your job? Why are there such a large number of weapons? Where do they come from? If they can be delivered to the National Army today, will they appear on the streets of Moscow tomorrow?! Comrade Kalinin  , who is in charge of gc international Spain's work? Investigate this person! How can gold be given to those imperialist capitalists. These are the blood and sweat of proletarian workers!"

    Stalin had no reason not to be angry. That was gold worth more than 300 million US dollars!  After Kuibyshev defected and his whereabouts were unknown, the second five-year industrial plan almost came to a standstill, and a lot of time was wasted in the readjustment of the layout.  Coupled with the tightening of embargoes by various countries and the premature arms race, half of the country's fiscal revenue has been used for military expenditures.  So it's definitely not going to be completed on time.  During this difficult period, Stalin had long planned to obtain the gold reserves in the hands of the Spanish National Government, so he specifically asked Motolov to bring a weapons list, including advanced aircraft such as the I-15 and I-16.  But I didn't expect that before Motolov even set off, he was intercepted halfway with nearly half of the gold. How could he not be angry?

    That¡¯s a full 270 tons of gold. If used to purchase machinery and equipment, it can build several large steel plants or three joint military-industrial manufacturing companies similar to Krupp.  Tens of thousands of tanks and thousands of aircraft and cannons can be purchased!

    Facing Stalin¡¯s angry and gloomy gaze, those named were silent.  Recently, there have been constant rumors of hookups between China and Germany. Yang Qiu even used the Olympics to personally meet with Hitler and Mussolini. Moscow, which is likely to be fighting on two fronts, is already highly nervous and is desperately saving up its strength just in case.  At this critical moment, hundreds of tons of gold that were originally a sure bet were actually intercepted midway.

    "Go, send people to Spain, the remaining gold must be protected!" Stalin roared.  Ye Ruofu and others were so frightened that they left quickly.  God knows if you can come out alive after staying.

    "Director, Director!" Yezhov just walked out of the Kremlin.  When he saw Beria running out of nowhere, his face suddenly darkened.  Beria has become more and more popular in recent times, and it seems to have exceeded his own intentions, so he didn't give a good look: "It's Comrade Beria, what's the matter? If so, please report it as soon as possible. I still have something to do."  .¡±

    Hearing Yezhov's official tone, Beria secretly sneered in his heart, but he was very scheming and never showed his emotions on his face. He pretended to be nervous and took out a letter: "Director, this was discovered by comrades from Belarus.  . It has the names of Kuibyshev and Ivan Mir on it. I have had someone check the notes, and it is indeed the handwriting of the traitor Ivan Mir!"

    "Great! Great, we finally caught his trace." Yezhov danced with joy. He had spent the past two years trying to find Ivan Mir and Kuibyshev, but the two of them just disappeared from the world.  Because of this, he hasHaving been scolded by Stalin countless times, even the seat below the buttocks was in danger.  Now with this, it will definitely make Stalin happy.  But before he turned around, Beria grabbed him again: "Director, the letter is written to Marshal Constantine."

    "What!"

    ????? Konstantin Bluukher?  That was the marshal who had just been decorated!  Konstantin and Kuibyshev had a good personal relationship, which was no secret in Moscow, so Yezhov also thought about investigating, but gave up in the end.  Because no matter how much he wanted to achieve meritorious service, he would not dare to touch this person!  Seeing this, Beria smiled even more in his heart. He had already made up his mind not to get involved in this matter. After all, purging the military would offend too many people. No matter who did it, Stalin would probably eradicate him after it was done.  So he deliberately encouraged: "Director, this matter is of great importance. I suspect that someone deliberately forged letters to sow discord. We can neither let a bad person go, nor wrongly accuse a good person, so you should listen to the General Secretary's opinion before doing anything.  Decide."

    "Okay, I'll go right away." Ye Ruofu had no idea and immediately turned back and walked towards the palace.  But he didn't notice that Beria looked at him like he was looking at a dead person.

    Sure enough, a moment later a gloomy roar came from the Kremlin again, and even the soldiers guarding could not help but shrink their necks.

    "Catch him, arrest him!"
