The endless Gobi Desert shines in the sun, the yellow ones are sand and the white ones are saline. The flat terrain can tell people that a long time ago, this place may have been a saltwater lake. Time has dried up this saltwater lake, and all that remains are the white saline and alkali, and the long-dried river channel, enduring the torture under the scorching sun and becoming rifts.

It is on such a deserted Gobi Desert, but there is a straight railway. The roadbed is built on the white saline-alkali area. Two rails come from the east, extend to the west, and disappear in the depths of the Gobi Desert. There is no idea where the railway leads, because there is no trace of this railway on the map and traffic map. Only the military's top secret map can find the existence of this railway. On the military's top secret map, the railway is code-named "Gobi Line 6".

Now, a train without any sign is speeding on this "Gobi Line 6". The steam engine train was emitting black smoke, pulling dozens of cars, most of which were trucks, and a few were buses. In one of the buses, Zhao Bei was sitting on the sand, facing Lan Tianwei, who was sitting opposite him. There was a chessboard of Chinese chess in the middle. Now that the chess game is at a critical moment, there are few pieces left on both sides of the game, and the general may be in a few steps.

"Xiuhao, your chess skills are getting higher and higher."

Zhao Bei smiled and moved one of his "cannons" forward.

"You are not bad either. I almost snatched my army just now."

Lan Tianwei also smiled, and then moved a "elephant" from his side in the corresponding direction.

Jiang Fangzhen, who was sitting on the side watching the chess, was quite disdainful and pointed to the "elephant" and said, "You don't walk very well in this step. If it were me, I would move this 'car'. In this way, he would not be able to hit you in the rear, and you could further threaten his rear."

"A true gentleman who can't speak chess, Baili, you're talking a lot today."

Zhao Bei gave Jiang Fang a blank look, and Lan Tianwei also glanced at the "stinky chess maker", and his expression was quite dissatisfied.

"Okay, I'll shut up."

Jiang Fangzhen immediately closed his mouth, then picked up a cigarette from the coffee table next to him and put it into his mouth.

Before he could ignite the cigarette, Jiang Fangzhen saw a staff officer walking into the carriage, holding a telegram in his hand, so he stood up, took a few steps, answered the telegram, and took a look.

"The British government has officially decided to return Hong Kong's sovereignty by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs by the latest by the end of this year. At the same time, the Portuguese government also stated that it will act in concert with the UK. When will the British government officially transfer Hong Kong's sovereignty, the Portuguese government will transfer Macau's sovereignty. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs looks very happy and is about to take credit."

Jiang Fangzhen walked to Zhao Bei with the telegram and shook the telegram.

But Zhao Bei did not look up, and Lan Tianwei on the opposite side did not look up either. The two were still looking at the chessboard. After a moment, Zhao Bei said something.

"This result is not what I want to see most."

Lan Tianwei followed it and the meaning was similar.

"Yes, I didn't expect the British government to retract its head. Now, if you want to start a war, you have to find another excuse."

"Xiuhao, don't be proud. Let me tell you the truth. The world war is right in front of us. Even if we don't take action, there will be others. Do you think that this time the British government and the Australian government will make major concessions to Japan on the Papua issue, and the Japanese government and the military will be satisfied? Just the little sweetness of Papua, the Japanese military still doesn't like it. They actually like Australia. In recent years, Australia has not been arbitrary in preparing for war, and it is not a military move. It is not that they want to be the second Russian. "

Speaking of this, Zhao Bei raised his head, looked at Jiang Fang, paused, and said: "This time, the British government used small favors to buy Japan, which is enough to show that the Japanese government is still waiting and watching, and has not made up its mind yet. The British government is also a strong foreign force and a middle man. Although the balance of the Far East can be maintained for the time being, it will not last long. In Europe, I think it is necessary to step up the arming of Germany."

"What do you mean is that the navy will speed up the construction progress of those submarines? The Germans are indeed very satisfied with our snorkel submarines. They hope to add some orders, but they still want to trade through barter trade. Germany still lacks hard currency and does not want to use our currency for trade settlement. This small abacus is also smart." Lan Tianwei said.

"Submarines are still secondary. I think the German navy still hopes to develop surface fleets, but Germany's shipbuilding industry is not worse than us. We may not be able to help in this regard. As for aircraft carriers, Germany is restricted by international treaties and seems to be unable to rely on them at present. So the rest can only be made on bombers, and there are tanks. Baili. You immediately plan a call back to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, first praise their great contributions to the recovery of the territory of the motherland, and then tell them to step up consultations with Germany and strive to resolve the international trade settlement currency issue as soon as possible. Although the Chinese Yuan is not a hard currency recognized by the United States and Britain, compared with the currencies of other countries, the Chinese Yuan is still quite ok. Germany's settlement method is more beneficial to Germany. This situation is not OK and must be changed.

In the future, international competition will not only be a competition of force, but also a competition of finance. Whoever controls the exercise of international hard currency will control the lifeblood of the world economy. The current status of the US dollar is not supported by gold, but by the US economic hegemony. Now, China's currency also needs hegemony. At least in the Far East, this hegemony has been initially established. All that remains is to wait for the opportunity to further encroach on the territory of the US dollar. Now that Germany and South American countries are very active in trade, if China can also join this trading system, it will be very helpful for consolidating the status of the Chinese Yuan. As long as Germany recognizes the international status of the Chinese Yuan, South American countries will follow up. This is very important. It is important to make it clear to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to let them understand the importance. The relationship between countries is ultimately based on the economic foundation."

"Yes. I'll go to the telegraph room right away."

Jiang Fang nodded and turned around and left the carriage.

"The German diplomatic envoy conveyed the German government's intention and wanted to sign an agreement with us to jointly oppose communism, communism and international affairs. I wonder if the President has made up his mind about this?"

After Jiang Fangzhen left the carriage, Lan Tianwei suddenly changed the topic and asked Zhao Bei.

Zhao Bei smiled and said, "German did this to Britain. France said that its re-arming was to fight against the Soviet Union and European red forces so that Britain and France could relieve doubts about Germany's reorganization and arms reorganization. Germany suggested that our country also join this international agreement. This is the intention of the drunkard, not to drink, and it is fake to oppose the Soviet Union. It is true to take us on the pirate ship, and we cannot be fooled. I have decided not to join this international agreement and continue to maintain our neutral status. However, I have conveyed the German intention to the Japanese government. Japan is now anxious to find military alliances everywhere. Perhaps, for the Japanese government and military headquarters, this is a good opportunity to form an alliance with Germany."

Lan Tianwei hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "So, the president will not seek any form of military alliance with Germany?"

"Germany is in power. I know better than anyone else what this Nazi is. It is okay to deal with the Nazis and conduct secret transactions, but you can't form an alliance. Although the Nazis are calling for Sino-German friendship now, if the Nazis rule Europe, the future international environment of China and the future is likely to be worse than that of the present. In fact, it can be clearly stated in one sentence that the Nazis want to destroy all ethnic groups and races except the Germans. Even if they are not eliminated, they must turn them into German slaves. This idea is that rats crossing the street and people shout to beat them. We must go far away."

"But, if we cannot seek military alliance with Germany, how can the Soviet Union solve it? If we do not give the Germans confidence, will Germany take the initiative to attack the Soviet Union?"

Lan Tianwei was a little strange. To be honest, Zhao Bei's strategy really made him a little confused. This is contrary to the "family and near attack" in military strategy.

"Germany and the Soviet Union are not fuel-efficient. The Soviet Union's slogan was "World Harmony". Nazi Germany's goal was to eliminate most human beings and fight for living space for Germany's "excellent nations". From this point of view, the Soviet Union and Germany will inevitably have conflicts, and neither country can rule Europe. In my opinion, the Soviet Union's propositions and the Nazi propositions are both unrealistic. Even if one of them can rule Europe, it is impossible to maintain the empire for a long time. An empire that suppresses human nature, its collapse is only a matter of time. You just need to go to the public entertainment venues of the two countries to understand this issue.

The Nazi started out as extreme nationalism, which is completely different from the "world harmony" advocated by the Soviet Union. You should know that in modern times, the influence of this nationalism cannot be compared with other ideology, and it is also in line with the instinct of human self-interest. Whenever a crisis breaks out, nationalism always has a more market than internationalism. The tariff barriers generally established by countries around the world are the best proof. Being neighbors with the Nazis is very dangerous, and now, the Soviet Union has obviously seen this, so the Soviet Union is

Actively interfere in the Spanish civil war, and is also stepping up a comprehensive political purge within the country to consolidate the supreme authority. Xiuhao, just wait and see. In the near future, an extremely tragic war between the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany will surely break out. Whether China is aligned with Germany or not, Germany will attack the Soviet Union. This is determined by the essence of Nazi Germany. What we have to do is provide Germany with enough advanced weapons to allow the Soviet Union to be hit in the Soviet-German War and further weaken the Soviet Union."

Speaking of this, Zhao Bei ended the discussion on this topic at the right time. Strategy is his strength, but political theory has always been his weakness, and he is not good at it, so he doesn't want to get entangled with Lan Tianwei, who is also not good at political theory, on this topic, just remember one thing: although the party who masters strength does not necessarily represent justice, in this world, strength determines everything, as long as you have enough strength, you can be invincible.

The most important thing in strength is force. As the main multiplier of force, the development of new weapons and equipment has always been the focus of Zhao Bei's attention. Even during the days when he left Xishan, he did not put down the development of new weapons and equipment. In fact, the reason why he served as a "senior consultant" in so many key departments is that he did not want to suffer irreparable losses from the national defense cause because of Li Yuanhong's elected government's reduction of government spending.

When necessary, Zhao Bei even paid for the funding for the development of these new weapons and equipment by himself. The reason why he was willing to use his brother-in-law to establish so many enterprises is precisely for this purpose. First, he made money to subsidize the funding of the research and development project, and second, he provided technical support for the development of new weapons and equipment. Now, Zhao Bei's brother-in-law is the most influential private defense industry contractor in China. Many work related to the development of new weapons and equipment have the shadow of this Han Consortium, new aviation motives, new tank armor, new submarine propellers, new avionics, aviation gyroscopes, engineering plastics... These new machines and technologies are labeled as Han Enterprise.

As a reward for Zhao Bei's hard work, the current China-** industry has reached a new level. Although the scale still maintains the old pattern, the technological reserves have reached a new height. As long as the funds are sufficient, Zhao Bei can quickly equip a series of dazzling new weapons and equipment troops.

Today, Zhao Bei went deep into the desert to observe the latest technological achievements. Since the development of this technology has been in a top-secret state, in order to keep it confidential, the development base is in the depths of the Gobi Desert in the northwest, and this "Gobi Line 6" railway is also leading to the secret base.

The secret base is code-named "Cangqiong". There are two main development projects, one is rocket and the other is nuclear energy. At present, the development of nuclear energy has not yet made breakthrough progress, but the development of liquid fuel rockets has achieved satisfactory results. Today, Zhao Bei will observe a rocket shooting in that base. This is also the first launch experiment of this model rocket. If successful, it means that the Chinese side will soon have a tactical missile with a range of more than 400 kilometers. After all, the difference between rocket technology and missile technology lies in the payload.
