Chapter 304: Recent Developments in East Asia

After meeting, Kirienakov rubbed his hands and asked in anticipation: "When will those things come?"

Ma Qian'an knew that he was asking the machine tools and supporting facilities he invested in were coming. He looked through the calendar and replied with a positive answer: "It will definitely be at the end of July, if the Japanese don't sink them."

Kiryenkov glared at him in anger and shouted: "Damn Japanese."

Forget it! This joke has been made, and Ma Qian'an hurriedly comforted the old man, "No, no, I'm talking nonsense. I want to joke when I see you, don't worry! The Japanese still dare not sink the ships with the star-stripe flags. The boats we rented are all M-country ships."

Ma Qian'an said this, which made Kirienakov feel a little better, and then he began to urge Ma Qian'an to discuss the planning and layout of the new enterprise.

Ma Qian'an and Liu Ding brought a lot of information, and various details such as the number of machines and equipment must be explained clearly, and the expert group will be verified and configured to form a production line suitable for production. This is also the reason why Ma Qian'an is eager to come to Gongqingcheng. There are a lot of materials, even including a complete set of equipment in a 12,000-kilowatt power plant other than boilers.

Ma Qian'an has no experience in how to build a large military base on flat ground. He is very modest and quiet to record and translate. There are very few Chinese experts. The s1 experts are basically doing this configuration work. While Ma Qian'an lamented the talent issue, he also strengthened his idea of ​​learning skills.

Gongqingcheng has a very good industrial foundation, with certain guarantees for metallurgy, machinery, power, raw materials, etc. When discussing the issue of raw material supply, Ivanov knew that Ma Qian'an had made a lot of contributions here. More than a dozen mineral sites he provided had been built and mining enterprises, some of which had played a role, but people were not satisfied with their hearts. Ivan took advantage of the rest and secretly asked Ma Qian'an if there was any similar information, and Ma Qian'an could only "smile bitterly".

Wei Zhengmin also organized other personnel near Vladivostok, but has not appeared yet. There are more than 13,000 Chinese workers who are working as a local purifier for leveling the land, building factories, and laying water and electricity pipelines. The temporary brain is Zhang Lansheng, a member of the Northern Manchurian Provincial Party Committee. This is an old revolutionary who is only 32 years old and handsome. In fact, in Ma Qian'an's view, this "old revolutionary" who looks a little bit clear and handsome, has served as the secretary of the Northern Manchurian Provincial Party Committee and later served as the director of the Political Department of the 3rd Army.

After nearly a month of integration, these workers have formed a new organizational discipline. Wei Zhengmin selected the anti-Japanese captured personnel among them as grassroots leaders, and selected them at all levels to form a relatively strict military management model.

After Ma Qian'an arrived, he took Zhang Lansheng to explain the oral agreement reached between the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces and Ivanov in front of Ivanov. That is, among the 30,000 workers that had been organized, the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces could be assigned 20,000 for training and arming, and the remaining 10,000 people could be handed over to Ivanov to participate in various projects. When Zhang Lansheng heard this, he immediately wanted to train new recruits. Ma Qian'an and Ivanov were so panicked that he hurriedly stopped him. This was too urgent. There was a shortage of labor everywhere in the Far East. Where can I find workers who replaced these factories? At least you have to finish this period. We have a share in this military base.

Ma Qian was in Gongqingcheng, but he was always paying attention to the movements of the Japanese army in Northeast China. He would send a few telegrams to Yang Jingyu every day to learn about the current situation and battles of the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces from him. At the same time, he would collect the information he had publicly collected in S1 and communicate with each other.

During this period, he also went to the left-behind position of the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces in S1, met Wei Zhengmin and discussed the next work.

The reality is: the Soviet army was defeated again in Smolensk. While the right wing of the German Central Army Group counterattacked the Soviet reinforcements, they unexpectedly advanced dozens of kilometers. However, due to the lack of logistics supplies and successors, they temporarily stopped after the battle.

According to the agreement reached between Japan and the Soviet Union, the Japanese took over North Sakhalin Island and symbolically sent a brigade to enter the Kamchatka Peninsula. The non-Japanese people did not want to open the Kamchatka Peninsula, but were really unable to open it.

The Japanese army in the Northeast lost the main force of the 3,8,12,19,51st Division in the Soviet-Japanese border war, but did not discard the number. According to information, Japan recruited a large number of new recruits from the country to supplement these divisions, and the new recruits are continuously landing in Dalian Lushun Port and Chaoxian Busan Port.

The Kanto Exercise (the Kanto Army’s special exercise) did not start as scheduled as history. The Kanto Army is now licking its own wounds and healing it.

There are also some confirmed situations that some second- and third-line garrisons of the Kwantung Army and some local troops from the puppet Manchukuo are gradually heading to the outskirts of the Little Khingan Mountains to strengthen the blockade of the Anti-Japanese United Army in the Mountains. One of the information mentioned the word "great crusade".

Ma Qian'an expressed concern about the Japanese army's attack, but Yang Jingyu expressed optimism in his call to him. It would take at least two months to organize a siege of tens of thousands of people. The Japanese army also saw the combat effectiveness of this new Anti-Japanese Allied Forces, and before they could figure out the number of Anti-Japanese Allied Forces, they would never dare to take the initiative to attack before the arrival of winter.

According to past practice, the Japanese army organized the siege in winter. They believed that winter was the most difficult season for the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces, lacking supplies and cotton coats. At this time, the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces are the lowest in combat and are easy to eliminate them cleanly and completely.

Ma Qian'an played a linkage role in the Far Eastern Krai region. As a contact person between the Anti-Japanese United Nations and the Border Government, Ma Qian'an was busy for more than ten days and actually realized the difficulty of communication. Although he had Ivanov's handwritten letter, he still encountered many perfunctory things, especially some of the S1 people, who believed that the Anti-Japanese United Nations was like beggars, regardless of S1's current tight situation, and he had a little appetite.

This situation only improved after the arrival of the first fleet of Chen's company. The situation of hot faces and cold butts was improved. The S1 people finally saw ships of advanced machine tools and equipment. The specific personnel immediately changed their attitude and tried their best to cooperate. They no longer delayed the construction of factories and the materials and food supplies needed to build new camps.

The first batch of equipment and machine tools is worth US$20 million. If the amount of funds is just based on the amount of funds, US$20 million can be enough to build a large-scale project. Ma Qian'an once remembered that the 156 projects built by S1 were only the first batch of projects. According to the contract, China's final investment of equipment and raw materials can reach US$74 million, and can be added according to the situation. For this project, Chen's company has taken out 70% of its assets.

The goods arrived at Gongqingcheng in two routes. Some were unloaded at the Vladivostok pier after the war. Then they took the train to Gongqingcheng. Another small-tonnage fleet directly entered the mouth of the Amur River from the Tatar Strait, and the Shuojiang River went straight to Gongqingcheng.

Chen Jiashen, chairman of Chen Group, did not come in person as he said. The escort of this batch of goods was staffed by Junlin Crocodile Security Company, led by Wang Feihong, and the deputy leader of the Chen Company group stationed in Yan'an. There were more than 70 young people from Southeast Asia who came with the fleet. Chen Jiashen had a huge appeal and hastily recruited many young people with certain skills to come and serve, including many graduates from prestigious universities.

Wang Feihong came with the batch of goods in Vladivostok. Due to the delay in unloading and loading of vehicles, this batch of goods arrived in Gongqingcheng later than the batch that arrived directly.

The batch of goods was loaded with 12 trains. The military situation was urgent. After each loading, the locomotive would roar northward with a long roar. Wang Feihong arrived at Gongqingcheng with the last truck. When he arrived, it was already dark.

Ma Qian'an personally welcomed him. After not seeing him for a few months, Wang Feihong looked darker and thinner and more capable. Through Wang Feihong's narrative, Ma Qian'an learned some details about Nanyang. Generally speaking, the company's situation is relatively stable. According to Ma Qian'an's suggestions, the company's business is gradually withdrawing from Malaya and Xinggang and moving to India and the Middle East.

On the second day, July 29, 1941, the long-planned Japanese army began to advance to the south of India. In the following days, the sky above the South Ocean was shrouded by the dark clouds of war. M countries, Britain and the Netherlands announced a freeze of Japanese overseas assets, and M countries even announced an oil embargo. However, since Japan had occupied the offshore oil fields of Sakhalin Island, the oil embargo did not have much harm to Japan and did not have the due warning and threat. On August 4, the furious Secretary of State of M countries went bare-handedly and delivered an "important speech" to the major media in the world, saying: Japan must retreat to North India. If it does not listen to the dissuasion and insists on moving south, it will mean war!

President Roosevelt even summoned Ambassador Nomura and said: "If the Japanese government takes any means in the future according to the policy or plan of threatening military occupation of neighboring countries by force or force, then the US government will have to take all means we think are necessary in order to protect the legitimate rights and interests of the United States and the American people and ensure the security of the United States."

Faced with the crazy clamor of the people of M, a large-scale anti-US demonstration broke out in Japan. The Japanese refuted the "wrong remarks" of the Secretary of State in the M country with a "fairness" spirit, saying that Japan's behavior of entering the southern part of India was invited by the local government and residents, and was justified and could not be stopped by any unfriendly country. For world peace and the welfare of the people of Greater East Asia, Japan will not be afraid of any challenges from ghosts and animals. Any unfriendly behavior and remarks to Japan will pay a price.

The two sides were very quarreling, but the private negotiations between Japan and the United States have not stopped. After all, starting a war is a big event, and there are voices in both sides opposing the war. Before the two sides completely break up, the talks will still be made.

Ma Qian'an knew in his heart that they would fight sooner or later, and their interests were irreconcilable. As the most powerful, best-armed and best-in-lawed guy in the world, he saw a little guy like a slut stealing and robbing things everywhere, and was full of oil and still refused to give it to him. How could he not get angry? But this slut did too much and almost became a role that everyone called for. If he beat him up, he would not only gain benefits, but also gain a good reputation. Do you think he could still hold back?
