According to the requirements, the reports of several reporters were limited to the comparison of the old and new systems in the northwest and the changes in people's lives. Industrial and agricultural production can only be reported roughly, and no details can be involved.

For example, reporters can report that the Northwest now has planes, trains, and cars, but the Northwest prohibits providing reporters with detailed information, and does not allow reporters to explore the relevant situation on their own. Even the fact that reporters saw the Northwest using steel-concrete sleepers and steel rails different from the outside world by taking the train is not allowed to resort to text and photos.

The steel-concrete sleepers and heavy rails used in the northwest can make the load capacity of each truck compartment between 40 tons and 60 tons. In this era, most truck compartments in the world are still around 20 tons. If reporters take photos and combine detailed text descriptions, the outside world can have an accurate estimate of the logistics transportation capacity of the Northwest, which is not good for the Northwest.

As for the news about the steel and metallurgy base, petrochemical base, and military production base, Northwest is strictly prohibited from revealing only words to reporters. Zhao Zhenzhong clearly demanded Zheng Jiantao, who is in charge of the Ministry of Safety and Li Yunshan, who is in charge of heavy industrial production: "Fire prevention, theft prevention and control reporters, improve security awareness, and resolutely eliminate all possible leaks!"

Of course, in order to divert the attention of reporters, Zhao Zhenzhong also came up with an effective method: let the reporters visit, interview the comparison of people's lives before and after the abolition of serfdom in Tibet, and understand the darkness of the Tibetan past regime.

Zhao Zhenzhong believes that these journalists who have been instilled with a serious sense of surplus in the United States, who have been instilled with the concept of democracy, human rights and a sense of justice will definitely resonate strongly after seeing the darkness of Tibet serfdom. In order to sow subconsciousness for Aban and others, Zhao Zhenzhong also specifically mentioned a realistic work by the famous American writer Mrs. Sto, "Uncle Tom's Cabin", which was translated and introduced to the country by the Qing Dynasty writer Lin Shu.

"More than 70 years ago, US President Lincoln ordered the abolition of the American slavery system and maintained the unity of the United States. However, before the People's Army entered Tibet last year, Tibet still implemented a slavery system. It is no exaggeration to say that the lives of Tibetan compatriots are even more miserable than those of the American slaves in the United States."

Zhao Zhenzhong remembered the outrageous information about Tibetan serfs sent back by the Wu Zong Yu Zhenshan and others. He was very moved and said, "Mr. reporters and gentlemen can go to Tibet to learn about the changes in life of ordinary serfs before and after the People's Army entered Tibet. I hope you can stand on a fair and just standpoint, show the sufferings that Tibetan compatriots have suffered to the world through your pen, so that more people can understand our actions and pursuits in the northwest."

"But I want to go to Xinjiang to visit the battlefield where you eliminated the Soviet army and interview those British people who are still detained." Relying on his understanding of Zhou Anshu and Zhou Mingyuan, there was Roosevelt behind him, but Althorp plucked up the courage to make a request to Zhao Zhenzhong.

"Xinjiang can let you go, but we have to wait until your trip to Tibet is over. Before the end of March, you should take a look around Lhasa." Zhao Zhenzhong did not agree happily.

"That's settled!" Althorp was happy.

Although Zhao Zhenzhong nodded in agreement with a smile, he thought in his heart that after Elsop and others returned from Tibet, they had not had the state of going to Xinjiang in less than a few months to rest!

Not to mention that the altitude sickness would make Althorp and others have enough to make them suffer. The exhibition of lynching of serf owners in Tibet is enough to keep them in a constant state of nightmare. Especially those instruments made of human skin and bones, it would be strange if Althorp and others did not vomit until they saw it. When Althorp and others recovered, a full-scale war between China and Japan is likely to break out. I believe they would not have the intention to go to Xinjiang again.

Zhao Zhenzhong did not want reporters to go to Xinjiang, but it was based on confidentiality considerations. Several important industrial bases were distributed between the Hexi Corridor and Xinjiang. Whether it was by car, train or plane, due to routes, you might see busy vehicles running between the base and other northwest areas along the way. If you are interested, you can roughly infer the scope of the base through relevant signs.

The US government now has no relationship with the Northwest, but it has formal diplomatic relations with the Nanjing authorities, Japan and the Soviet Union. The reporters, especially Aban and Powell, are informal intelligence personnel from the United States. What they see will be quickly transmitted back to the United States, and may also be learned by Chiang, Su, Japan and other parties. Zhao Zhenzhong does not want to take such risks.

Of course, the professional reputation of these reporters is quite good. It is also good to retain a channel for spreading news through their selective disclosure of some news related to the Northwest.

After seeing off the reporters, Zhao Zhenzhong was going to face several old friends. Courtman and White wanted to see if they could find new business opportunities in the Northwest through Zhao Zhenzhong's relationship, but Lord had other purposes.

Zhao Zhenzhong can only express regrets about the hopes of Courtman and White. With the outbreak of the Japanese army's increase in troops in North China and the outbreak of the Suiyuan Anti-Japanese War, the overseas material passage to the northwest has been completely cut off. Previous grain transportation was completely interrupted in October last year. Although there are still many materials available for transportation overseas and Yan Xishan can still be cleared, the situation between Pingjin has become increasingly deteriorated. In addition, the severe cold this winter has caused large-scale freezing of Tianjin ports and even the Bohai Bay, and large-scale material transportation is no longer feasible.

However, Zhao Zhenzhong also gave the idea for the two, asking them to take advantage of the current opportunity of Germany's large demand for oil, steel, rubber and other materials to expand their trade volume with Germany.

"As the situation in Europe and Asia deteriorates, the demand for shipping in various countries will inevitably further increase, and the demand for shortage materials such as oil, steel, copper, aluminum, and rubber will also further expand. If the two want to take their careers to a higher level in the future, they might as well put in more effort in these aspects." Zhao Zhenzhong took the opportunity to exclaim, "I heard that the situation of German Jews is not good, and the two can use the opportunity of trade to help more Jews leave there. Whether it is going to the United States or Australia, it is much better than letting them suffer there."

Now the northwest is indeed unable to provide opportunities for Courtman and White, but if the two really set up a fleet to develop shipping, then after the northwest obtains an outlet, they can use their fleets to transport materials to the northwest. Although Huamei and Lan Fang also have fleets, it would be a good thing if there is another available fleet at that time. After all, if the Sino-Japanese War breaks out, the materials needed will be huge.

Courtman didn't care much about the Jews, but White was concerned. White and Fat Jack, who was busy sending arms to Germany and Italy, then transferring to Spain, were both Jews and were more interested in Zhao Zhenzhong's proposal.

"But after they were cancelled by Germany, even if we could find a way to transport them out, it would be difficult to find a country that would be willing to take them in." White tentatively said, "How about I find a way to transport them to you?"

"The northwest side has to face the Soviet Union, Japan and Nanjing authorities have always been in a state of war or war. If you don't say it's difficult for you to send them here, it's really here. Wouldn't that push them into the fire pit?" Zhao Zhenzhong shook his head and denied.

"I heard that the newly established Republic of Lanfang in Nanyang could accommodate Jews, but it had some work and cultural limitations on obtaining nationality." Courtman advised White, "If there is no better way, you might as well try this first."

White basically stayed in Australia, while Courtman was in Southeast Asia. Naturally, Courtman knew better about Lan Fang’s news.

"As long as there is a way, it's better than nothing." White's eyes lit up at first, but then sighed, "Lan Fang can restore his country in Southeast Asia. When will we Jews have our own home?"

"If I remember correctly, in 1917, British Foreign Secretary Belford issued a declaration on behalf of the government, agreeing to establish a nation-state for the Jews in Palestine. Later, Zionists organized immigration there. If White, you really want to see the Jews' own country, you might as well consider it from these aspects." Zhao Zhenzhong suggested.

Zhao Zhenzhong had no good or dislike for the restoration of the Jews, but he was unfair about the Arab world's support for China's separatist forces. After World War I, the Basma Heroes who disrupted Central Asia joined the local extremist religious forces and separatist forces after entering southern Xinjiang, and accepted the support of the British, and opened the country in southern Xinjiang. However, those Basma Heroes and separatist forces had close ties with the Arab world due to religious relations.

If the Jews can establish a state in Palestine, it will not only suppress the Arab world, but also attract the attention of the Islamic world, which will help the stability of the control area in the northwest. Moreover, after the founding of the country in the future, the People's Party can also use the opposition between the Arab world and the Jewish state to establish China's interests in the Middle East between balance.

Although White hoped to establish a Jewish country and had provided assistance to the Jewish Restoration Organization in terms of funds and materials, he adhered to the true nature of a merchant and did not participate in it. Strictly speaking, White was only considered an external member of the Zion Organization at most.

"Zhao, do you think it's appropriate for me to participate in the restoration movement?" White was worried.

"There is nothing appropriate or not, but you need to ask yourself the persistence in your heart." Zhao Zhenzhong's eyes became deeper, "Take me as an example, I led a group of like-minded people to create today's situation in the barren land of the northwest, because we have our own beliefs and persistence in our hearts!

Our China is a great country with a great civilization of 5,000 years, but it has been invaded by robbers in modern times. The authorities have been compromised externally, but exploited internally, resulting in many people having to die. Many people even die without a place to bury, becoming food from wild dogs or others! What we need to do in the northwest is to overturn this unreasonable thing and turn the subverted world back upside down!

The two are Americans, influenced by American culture and education. If one day the world wars come to the United States, everything you enjoy now will be destroyed. Should you resist or accept your fate and wait for death?"

"If there was a day when I was a little older, I would still be willing to pick up the gun!" Courtman said firmly, "Everything I have now, family, relatives, friends and wealth is precious to me and no one can violate it!"

"No one can violate it! We all have our own persistence!" White nodded and said, "Zhao, I understand what you mean."

Some words can be done. At this moment, Zhao Zhenzhong changed the topic and said, "Although we are trapped in the northwest now, maybe one day we can have our own estuary. At that time, I hope we can still cooperate happily!"

"A word is certain!" both of them responded casually.

Although Courtman and White were quite confident in Zhao Zhenzhong, they thought he was a bold statement in the future and did not take it too seriously. After all, from the moment, if the northwest wants to open up a sea channel eastward, they have to face local powerful factions such as Yan Xishan, Song Zheyuan, as well as the two major obstacles, the Nanjing authorities and Japan, and they also have to consider the domestic public opinion. The difficulties are too great. In the eyes of the two, it is simply impossible for at least five years.

After settling up Courtman and White, Zhao Zhenzhong will face Lord.

Lord went to the northwest with the mission of the German authorities. As mentioned earlier, Lord was related to the big names of the German authorities through the wedding of his friend's ex-wife, and the big names were Goebbels and Hitler. Among them, Goebbels is the current husband of Lord's ex-wife, and Hitler is not only a witness to Goebbels and his wife, but is said to have an ambiguous relationship with Goebbels' wife, Magda.

Because he has a good relationship with Courtman and White and can establish relationships with Huamei, Lord has purchased a large amount of oil, rubber, and scarce penicillin for Germany at a price lower than the international market. In the eyes of the German authorities, he is still considered a number one person.

When the Soviet army entered Xinjiang, it was annihilated by the People's Army, and there were also dozens of Soviet aircraft and tanks. This has attracted the attention of the German authorities, who regard the Soviet Union as the enemy. Hitler was eager to know how the People's Army did all this, and also wanted to know the specific situation of the combat effectiveness and weapon performance of the Soviet army. Of course, if possible, the German authorities also hope to cooperate with the Northwest to jointly deal with the Soviet Union.

With the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War, German and Soviet combatants and equipment confronted Spain's land, and the Germans also had a clear understanding of the combat effectiveness and equipment performance of the Soviet army. However, the German authorities did not relax their attention to the northwest. Instead, after understanding the relevant situation of the Soviet army, they believed that the People's Army was strong. While wanting to further understand the situation of the People's Army, the German authorities also sought to obtain cooperation from the People's Army in the direction of Central Asia in the future.

However, Germany had diplomatic relations with the Nanjing authorities and had no communication channels with the Northwest, so the Germans' ideas could only be ideas. But when the Northwest revealed that Zhao Zhenzhong was the main leader, the Germans' interests were raised again. Lord's experience in China was known to the big figures, and his relationship with Zhao Zhenzhong was also known to the German authorities. In this way, Lord came to the Northwest with the mission of the German authorities.

During the conversation, after gaining a specific understanding of Lord's mission, Zhao Zhen had already thought about how to deal with it.

"Germany now has formal diplomatic relations with the Nanjing authorities and has provided a lot of military assistance to Nanjing. Seckert and Farkenhausen have successively served as senior military advisers to the Nanjing authorities. We were temporarily closed to the northwest and lacked external access. In this case, we will not establish any formal and official relations with the German authorities."

Zhao Zhenzhong expressed his attitude to the northwest and also cut off the possibility of Germany extending his hand to the northwest. Hitler will be a person who is angry and resentful in the future. Zhao Zhenzhong does not want the northwest to be related to such people. However, considering the future changes in the world pattern, in order to make the situation more beneficial to the northwest and China, Zhao Zhenzhong thought about it again: "The German people suffered a lot after the last war, and now they are facing the threat of the Soviet Union and the suppression of Britain, France and other countries. This is very similar to the current situation in our country. Especially in the face of the threat of the Soviet Union and Britain, the northwest has the same feelings as your country's authorities. Based on this, I would like to make some suggestions to your country's authorities, hoping to help your country's future war."

"Zhao, do you mean that Germany will be involved in a war like 20 years ago in the future?" Lord was shocked.

Although Lorde has obtained a lot of cheap and inexpensive supplies for the German authorities over the years, he also knows that the authorities are preparing for war. However, the German authorities claim that it was to deal with the threat of the Soviet Union, and Lorde never thought that it was preparing for a new world war. Moreover, if there were signs of a war, how could Britain, France and other countries let it go and encourage Germany to target the Soviet Union? Lorde was a successful businessman, but his political mind was really not very good, so he naturally could not understand the complexity of the relationship between major powers.

"It's a new world war!" Zhao Zhenzhong affirmed, "Germany made enemies with the Soviet Union in the last war, but what really brought Germany to suffering was the Versailles peace treaty, the group of Britain, France and the United States. Moreover, in the future, whether Germany fights with the Soviet Union first or Britain and France first, unless it can gain an overwhelming advantage in the short term and completely resolve one enemy, once the war falls into a stalemate, it will inevitably bring the other side the opportunity to reap the benefits, and Germany's ending is also worrying."

Lord had been in China for more than ten years and could speak standard official language. Naturally, he understood what Zhao Zhenzhong meant by "the benefits of fishermen". After being shocked, Lord thought about it carefully and felt that what Zhao Zhenzhong said was indeed reasonable.

Lorde was a successful businessman, and he naturally couldn't leave the perspective of the businessman when looking at problems. In his opinion, Britain, France and the United States had far surpassed Germany's economic strength, and there was also a Soviet Union, so Germany really had no chance of winning. What's more, Germany fought on two fronts in the last war, and responded to Britain, France and Russia at the same time. Later, he joined the United States. If the two fronts were still fighting this time, would Germany be so good?

"God! Although I hate that the British and French devils have drained the blood and sweat of our Germanic people, I really don't want to experience another war, let alone lose everything I am now!" Lord shouted almost nervously, "Those things belong to the big guys, not what I want!"

Although Lorde was also affected by the act of Hitler's instigation in Germany, he was far less affected than the people in Germany because he had been wandering around in China, Southeast Asia, Australia, the United States and other places for a long time. Therefore, he had such a big reaction.

"Lord, if you really want to do something beneficial to the Germanic nation and Germany in the future, I suggest you stay in Nanyang in the name of commercial cooperation. Wait until the war is over in the future before trying your best to help Germany revitalize."

Lord was in a complicated mood. He didn't want to escape his responsibilities to his motherland, but he was unwilling to follow the big figures to the grave. With Zhao Zhenzhong's attraction to revitalize Germany after the war, he thought for a while before Lord sighed: "I know this is an escape, but I am just a small figure, so I can only do this."

After pausing, Lord said again: "Zhao, let's talk about your advice to our country's authorities. I'll be able to pay a job when I go back."

"Okay, remember it carefully, remember it in your mind, not on paper."

In Zhao Zhenzhong's view, Germany's population, resources and industrial scale alone cannot compete with the Soviet Union. If Germany wants to win the war against the Soviet Union, it must obtain population and resources from other parts of Europe, expand the industrial scale, and enhance its own strength by annexing the surrounding areas. Otherwise, Germany will have no chance of winning the war against the Soviet Union.

In original history, Germany's total troop strength in 38 was 720,000, which was 7 times the 100,000 troops in 33 years; while the Soviet Union's total troop strength in 38 years was more than 1.51 million, more than twice the total troop strength of the German army during the same period. However, due to Germany's annexation of Austria, Czechoslovakia and other countries, especially after taking Poland in the short term, France, Germany's military strength expanded rapidly. Before the invasion of the Soviet Union in June 1941, the German army's total troop strength reached more than 8.5 million. Of these, 3.55 million troops were newly added in 41 years. By June 1941, the Soviet Union had more than 5 million, including the recruited supplementary troops. It can be said that it was through the annexation of other European countries and regions that Hitler had the strength to launch a war against the Soviet Union. If Hitler came up and fought against the Soviet Union first, it would have to be bloody.

First, using the excuse of fighting against the Soviet Union to test Britain and France's attitude towards Germany's expansion, then use the condolences of Britain and France and other countries to annex small neighboring countries to achieve rapid expansion of strength, and then take over France to solve the worries of the eastward advance. Hitler's series of strategic plans are indeed very correct, but some places can still be done better.

Of course, Zhao Zhenzhong would not say to the German authorities now what to do to annex Austria, Czechoslovakia, take over Poland, France, etc. Otherwise, even if Hitler had this idea, he would probably have first thoughts to send people to destroy Zhao Zhenzhong. Therefore, Zhao Zhenzhong did not mention Germany's strategic layout in future expansion. He only made five suggestions based on Germany's assumption of the Soviet war.

1. Before the launch of a major battle, we must reserve enough oil, steel, rubber and other strategic materials. Although Germany is not currently short of resources, the output of oil, steel, synthetic rubber, etc. cannot be compared with the Soviet Union. Moreover, even if the Soviet Union is blocked in Europe, it can obtain resources through ports in Asia and America in the Pacific, and transfer it to various European industrial centers through the Siberian Railway. Therefore, before launching the war against the Soviet Union, Germany not only needs to strive for military advantages, but also has the advantage of material reserves.

2. Obtain loans from Britain, France, the United States and other countries as much as possible to serve as war funds. Through loans, relevant countries can form a community of interests with Germany, harmonious relations between Germany and relevant countries, and also make the Soviet Union face the entire Western world. At the same time, using these funds can obtain a large amount of material supplements from the international community to facilitate future war against the Soviet Union.

3. Under no circumstances will you seek compromise with the Soviet Union, even if it is just a temporary compromise agreement. As long as you do not compromise with the Soviet Union, even if you have conflicts with other countries in the Western world, it will be an internal problem in the Western world. The Western world will find it difficult to join forces to oppose Germany and form a united unit with the Soviet Union. Once Germany compromises with the Soviet Union, the Western world will be divided into two factions that support Germany and support the Soviet Union. Germany will also become a betrayer of the Western world. Not only will it face pressure from the Western world, but it will also allow certain forces in the Soviet Union to unite with the Western world. This will bring great disadvantages to Germany.

4. In terms of combat methods and combat equipment development, the cost ratio should be considered. Research and development as much as possible, equipment that invests less but has a large combat effect, and study related combat methods. For example, submarines, long-range bombers, anti-tank firepower, etc.

5. In the main combat direction of the Soviet Union, the troops should be concentrated as much as possible and be prepared to deal with the severe cold climate. The Soviet Union has a vast territory and a population of nearly three times that of Germany. It will be difficult for Germany to occupy the Soviet Union in a short period of time before it destroys its will to resist. At that time, the severe cold climate and long supply lines will become the biggest problem for the German army.

In addition to the fifth point, which is completely aimed at the Soviet Union, other points are also applicable to fighting against Britain, France and other countries in Europe. Zhao Zhenzhong believes that Hitler and the top German troops will definitely understand the meaning.

Although these suggestions cannot change the final outcome of Germany in the future, they can make the national strength of the Soviet Union, Britain, France, the United States and other countries more severely consume, and will also be more beneficial to the strategic situation of the Northwest and China in the future. Of course, the suggestions mentioned by Zhao Zhenzhong are purely with the mentality of "judging without dates, but not a shot", and in the end, the German authorities must listen to it and implement it.

After listening to what Zhao Zhenzhong said, even Lord understood that this was not just targeting the Soviet Union, otherwise there would be no need to mention any submarine. He stared at Zhao Zhenzhong with a look of looking at the monster for a while, Lord said with a wry smile: "Zhao, while becoming a business genius, why are you so proficient in these things? How did you do it?"

Since Zhao Zhenzhong didn't say that this was his two-life experience, he said vaguely: "If you come into contact with more, your mind will be turned faster, and you will be tempered. If you practice more, you can do it."

After thinking about it, Zhao Zhenzhong reminded again: "If Germany really launches a war in the future and is defeated again, you might as well find ways to take in more scientists and engineers. They are the hope for Germany's future revival, but don't let other countries kidnap them easily."

"Zhao, although I have a headache about future events, no matter what, I still want to thank you! It's not only because of me personally, but also for my nation and country." Lord said sincerely, "If there really is such a day in the future, I hope you can help me."

"Let's talk about the future. But don't worry, I will definitely not watch." Zhao Zhenzhong smiled, "Who told us to be old friends?"

It is still too far from Germany's reconstruction after the defeat. What Zhao Zhenzhong is thinking now is to try to disrupt the situation as much as possible so that the war will last longer. It is best to fight for ten or eight years to make the national strength of the great powers more severely. If this is true, then the Northwest and China may win the era of real rise without waiting for the war to end.

Of course, Zhao Zhenzhong also knew that the war could not last for ten or eight years, but as long as we fully grasp the war nodes on the battlefields of Europe, Asia and the Pacific, it should still be possible to extend the war for one or two years. Although this is difficult, it is not impossible. As for reminding Lord to pay attention to scientific and technological talents, it is to lay a foundation for a share of the pie in the future.

After finalizing some matters with Lord, Zhao Zhenzhong took him to inspect the destroyed Soviet tanks and aircraft from Xinjiang to Lanzhou, and asked him to take some photos and record some key data so that he could go back and submit the service.

Lord was curious about the hole on the destroyed Soviet tank, so he asked: "Zhao, what weapon is this caused by? Can tank armor break through?"

Zhao Zhenzhong didn't want to reveal the secret of the anti-tank rocket launcher too early, so he evaded: "Oh, we shot it with anti-aircraft guns."

Lord also heard that some people in China were interested in the successful example of the 88mm anti-aircraft gun produced by Krupp being used to attack Soviet tanks during the Spanish Civil War, so he no longer asked more.

After seeing off Couteman, White and Lord, Zhao Zhenzhong received a telegram from Tang Ming about the British Indian epidemic from the United States. Regarding the current development of the epidemic, because the epidemic area is still in quarantine, Tang Ming cannot get the specific situation. However, he revealed a news that most of the people who died first in Northwest India and Pangpucha Province were those who had contact with Muslims from Xinjiang. However, those Muslims from Xinjiang have basically died of illness and are not sure who was first infected. In addition, the People's Army blocked foreign channels after controlling Xinjiang, and no similar epidemic occurred in Xinjiang. Although the British and Indian authorities have doubts, there is no evidence.

In addition, according to the previous collaboration reached by the British Indian authorities and local parties such as the Congress, British India will first implement provincial autonomy from April 1 this year, and the elections of the Legislative Council of the relevant provinces were held one after another from the end of 36 to the beginning of 37. The Congress and the Muslim Alliance even gave speeches in various places in advance to promote the election. Many people therefore suspect that the epidemic was spreading due to the propaganda of the two factions, and the confrontation between Muslims and the Congress became more serious. After all, the epidemic started first.

The northwestern province, Pangpucha Province and Bangladesh Province, which has been closed and isolated so far, are areas with Muslims concentrated. The "All-India Muslim Alliance" suffered heavy losses in the election. Some people suspect that the Congress or the British-Indian authorities deliberately spread the epidemic to be unfavorable to the Muslim alliance. If the election results of the Legislative Council of British Indian provinces are unsatisfactory, conflicts among various factions in the Indian region are likely to intensify further, and even the radicals and pro-political factions within the Congress party may be divided as a result.
Chapter completed!
