However, it was not easy for Xu Rui to make this deal with the Soviet Union.
At that time, the Soviet Union did not care about the CCP at all. An indisputable fact is that throughout the Anti-Japanese War, the Soviet Union provided a large amount of military assistance to the Nationalist Government, and even sent military advisers to almost every group army of the Nationalist Army, but only the Eighth Route Army
And the New Fourth Army had no Soviet military advisers.
On the surface, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union has recognized Chairman Mao as the supreme leader of the Communist Party of China. However, in fact, the Soviet Union is very resentful that Wang Ming, who returned to China with the decree of the Communist International, was not elected as the supreme leader of the Communist Party of China. In fact, the Soviet Union only wants to control the Communist Party of China.
It became the Chinese branch of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union and never wanted the independence of the Communist Party of China.
But Chairman Mao refused. He never wanted the Chinese to be slaves again!
Therefore, the relationship between the Soviet Communist Party and the Chinese Communist Party was very delicate at that time.
Under such a premise, if Xu Rui wanted to make deals with the Soviet Union through the Party Central Committee, he would be seeking the skin of a tiger.
Fortunately, Xu Rui still had a private channel, and that was Cherev, the former Soviet minister to China. After Cherev left office and returned to China, the correspondence with Xu Rui continued.
Shortly after returning home, Cherev was sent to the Far Eastern Front as Chief of General Staff. However, in fact, Cherev followed the secret order from the Cheka headquarters to secretly investigate the treason case of the Commander-in-Chief of the Far Eastern Front, Blucher, because the Soviet Union
The top leaders of the Communist Party suspected that Blyukher had committed treason during the Battle of Lake Hassan.
The Battle of Hassan Lake is what the Japanese call the Zhang Gufeng Incident.
In the original time and space, Blyucher's treason case was finally established. Although Blyucher was one of the first five marshals of the Soviet Union, he was still brutally executed in the end. However, Blyucher was executed.
, caused great shock among the top leaders of the Soviet Red Army. In order to calm the public anger, the top leaders of the Soviet Communist Party used Cherev as a scapegoat and executed him.
But in this parallel time and space, I don’t know if it is because of Xu Rui, a little butterfly, but history has taken a wrong turn. The treason case of Blyucher has not been established, so until now, Blyucher is still staying in the Far East.
After taking office as the commander-in-chief of the Front Army, Cherev was not executed, and Chelev remained in the Far Eastern Front Army.
Wang Husheng was also worried that this matter would cause unnecessary political disputes, saying: "Old Xu, I'm worried..."
"Old Wang, I know what you are worried about." Xu Rui interrupted Wang Husheng and said, "So I don't plan to do a deal with Cherev directly. I will let David be the middleman, with David and his arms trade.
With the company taking the lead, the Communist International will have no excuse to put pressure on our party."
Wang Husheng said: “But doesn’t the U.S. government not allow American companies to do business with China?”
Xu Rui said: "Old Wang, it's not me who blames you. You lack understanding of Western thinking. The U.S. government does not allow U.S. companies to trade with China. It refers to direct trade, but as a middleman, between China and the United States,
The U.S. government does not care about brokering trade between foreign countries."
"That's it." Wang Husheng suddenly said, "That's no problem."
At that moment, Xu Rui called the correspondent and started drafting a telegram to David.
At this time, it was late at night in New York on the other side of the world. David had just been having sex with the female secretary, sat on the window sill and drank red wine, preparing to take a nap before fighting again, but he received a message from Xu Rui from the other side of the ocean.
After receiving the urgent telegram from Xu Rui, David immediately had no intention of fighting with the female secretary again.
David immediately sat down at his desk in his pajamas and began to draft a list of goods.
The female secretary Ruth got off the big bed with her buttocks naked, walked naked behind David, and then hugged David's neck from behind, her whole delicate body almost completely pressed against David's back, and then bit David's ear and whispered:
"Honey, what are you doing? Why do you let me wait alone on the big bed?"
David turned his head and kissed Ruth's pretty face and said, "I'll be back when I finish writing the goods list."
"List of goods? Is there another big deal?" Ruth's eyes lit up immediately after hearing this, and she asked, "Which country is it from?"
Recently, many European countries have approached David Arms Trading Company and requested to order anti-infantry directional mines and rocket launchers. As David's secretary, Ruth certainly knew about this.
"China." David said happily, "Our old friend Xu Rui."
"Xu Rui?" Ruth said in shock, "My dear, you will get into trouble if you do this."
"Trouble?" David shook his head and said, "No, no, no, there won't be any trouble. I won't do business with Xu Rui directly. I'll just be a middleman and earn some introduction fees."
"So that's it." Ruth said no more. She just lay on David's back and watched David draft the list quietly. After a while, David had drafted all the terms, and then turned around and started writing.
He picked up Ruth and threw her heavily onto the soft bed. Ruth giggled.
(Dividing line)
Khabarovsk, headquarters of the Far Eastern Front of the Soviet Red Army.
The atmosphere in the headquarters was a bit tense, with communications going back and forth in the corridors, and the staff officers all had solemn expressions.
Early in the morning, Cherev knocked on the door of the office of the commander-in-chief of the Far Eastern Front, Blucher.
"Your Excellency, Marshal." Cherev said solemnly, "According to intelligence, the Kwantung Army's First Armored Division has been formally established, and the Second Armored Division is also under preparation, and..."
Blucher removed the pipe from his mouth and asked: "And what?"
Cherev took a deep breath of cold air and continued: "Moreover, various signs indicate that the Kwantung Army will continue to prepare for the establishment of the Third Armored Division and even the Fourth Armored Division in the future! Ishihara Wanji is more senior than any previous Chief of Staff of the Kwantung Army.
His ambitions are much greater, and what he is doing now has far exceeded the need to consolidate the Northeast. I judge that Ishihara Kanji's goal is to completely annihilate our Far East Front Army!"
Bluher nodded and said in a deep voice: "Ishihara Wan'er, you really shouldn't be underestimated."
Cherev said in a deep voice: "Your Excellency, Marshal, our Far Eastern Front Army should attack decisively and seize Manchuria before the Kwantung Army is ready. At least we must control Northern Manchuria. Otherwise, when the Kwantung Army is ready, we will
The situation we will face will be passive."
Blucher smiled bitterly and said: "The Military Commission will not agree."
Cherev immediately fell silent after hearing this. Indeed, the Soviet Union is currently in a critical period of the Third Five-Year Plan. The focus of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union is industrial development. At this time, the Far East Front will never be allowed to take the initiative to provoke conflicts with Japan.
Such a war between world powers.
At this time, an intelligence staff officer walked in and handed a piece of intelligence to Cherev.
After reading this, Cherev's expression suddenly changed, and he said to Blyucher: "Your Excellency, Marshal, our agents lurking in Xinjing have just sent back news, saying that the Kwantung Army has just launched a top-secret project codenamed 'Sharp Blade'
Plan, because the confidentiality level of this plan is very high, our agent has not yet been able to obtain first-hand information, but he judged that this is most likely a research and development plan for a new revolutionary weapon."
"Blade?" Bluher said in a deep voice, "Order the intelligence department to obtain all the detailed information about the Blade project at all costs in the shortest possible time!"
While he was talking, Cherev's adjutant came in and reported: "Sir, your old friend Mr. David has just sent a telegram from the other side of the ocean. Please read it."
Cherev took the telegram and looked strange after reading it.
Bluukher frowned and asked: "Cherev, is there any problem?"
Cherev handed the telegram to Blucher and said: "David wants to make a deal with us."
"Transaction?" Blyucher hurriedly read the telegram and was stunned. This was indeed a transaction sheet. The David Arms Trading Company requested the Soviet government to immediately provide supplies worth five million US dollars to be imported into China through the Northwest Highway, and
It was clearly stated that this batch of supplies was given to the Dameishan base area of the CCP, not the National Government.
In exchange, David Arms Trading Company will provide the Soviet Union with top-secret information concerning the safety of the Far East!
Frowning, Blücher said in confusion: "David is an American and is far away in New York. How could he have top-secret information related to the safety of the Far East?"
Cherev already knew what was going on.
At that moment, Cherev said: "Your Excellency, Marshal, I think I already know what's going on. David is just a middleman. The one who has the information is not David's company, but the Dameishan base of the Chinese Communist Party. To be exact,
To put it bluntly, it’s another old friend of mine, Mr. Xu Rui.”
"Xu Rui?" Bluher's eyes narrowed, "That Chinese friend of yours who is particularly good at fighting?"
"Yes, it must be him." Cherev said, "It should be that he has the secret information of the Kwantung Army, so he wants to make a deal with the Soviet Union."
Blucher asked in confusion: "Then why doesn't he trade with us directly?"
Cherev was speechless, thinking that his boss's political sensitivity was really low. The reason why Xu Rui refused to deal directly with the Soviet Union was of course because he was worried that the Comintern would interfere with it, in case the Comintern knew about Xu Rui's manipulation.
There is top-secret information inside. When the time comes, an order will be issued asking the CCP to hand over the information. Will the CCP give it to them or not?
Give it, Xu Rui is unwilling to give it, and if you don’t give it, he will be violating discipline!
Therefore, Xu Rui must borrow David's hand to make deals with the Soviet Union.
Even if the Soviet Union knew that the information was in Xu Rui's hands, Xu Rui could deny it completely. Even if the Communist International sent an imperial envoy to Dameishan, Xu Rui could just say that he knew nothing. As for why David named him
Dao asked the Soviet Union to transport supplies worth five million US dollars to Dameishan via the Northwest Highway. Xu Rui could also argue that this was because he had a good personal relationship with David and that this was a big gift from David.
However, Cherev could not express these words clearly.
Cherev then changed the subject and said: "The key to the problem is still this top-secret intelligence. What kind of intelligence does Xu Rui have? Is it related to the Blade Project?"
