"Important guest? Is it more important than a queen who loves you deeply?" Anastasia cast a somewhat resentful wink and sighed softly: "Could it be a beautiful lady? Bar?"

Luo Yaoguo glanced at the Empress unhappily, and thought: "We don't know each other well, but we're just...friends with sex! Why do you look like a couple?" He shook his head helplessly, and explained: "It's not some lady, But a revolutionary, and a Bolshevik from China!"

"Bolshevik!" The queen's face darkened suddenly: "You should ask someone to kill him immediately! Instead of going to see him! This kind of person is very insidious. I think my father was too soft-hearted at the time, so he will encounter misfortune! If If he can kill all the Bolsheviks he catches, then there will be no troubles now!"

"This is impossible." Luo Yaoguo shook his head with a smile, stood up and walked to the Queen, kissed her on the cheek, and said with a smile, "Dear Your Majesty, I'm going to meet that Chinese Bolshevik. If there is time, we will How about going for a picnic in the woods outside the city?" Seeing the empress nodded, Luo Yaoguo and Luo Shun strode out together.Anastasia looked at Luo Yaoguo's back, sighed helplessly, and smiled at a maid who was waiting beside her: "Sharapova, please ask Earl Kerensky to wait in the living room and tell him, I want to know the latest battle situation in Amursk."

When Luo Yaoguo arrived at the headquarters of the Chinese National Defense Force's Far Eastern Front, Zhang Xueliang had already been waiting in the living room for a long time.He looked dusty, his eyes were bloodshot, and he looked very tired.Seeing Luo Yaoguo coming in a hurry, he quickly stood up to greet him.Luo Yaoguo smiled and said, "Brother Hanqing, what gust of wind brought you to Russia?"

Zhang Xueliang said with a smile: "It's not for revolutionary work, Brother Fuwen, I'm a revolutionary now."

Luo Yaoguo sat across from Zhang Xueliang, and his face still looked calm: "For revolutionary work, you should go to Ussuriysk, and you can only do counter-revolutionary things in Vladivostok. Tell me, you want to reach a point with me, a counter-revolutionary. What private transaction?"

Zhang Xueliang nodded, took out an unsigned envelope from a leather bag, and handed it to Luo Yaoguo: "This is a letter written by Vice Chairman Zhou. Our party is already preparing to send troops to aid the Soviet Union. I hope to get Brother Fuwen's understanding."

Luo Yaoguo nodded. From his expression, he couldn't tell whether he was understanding or not. He just asked indifferently: "In what name are you going to send troops? It can't be the border guards, right?"

Zhang Xueliang shook his head: "Of course not. We will send troops to aid the Soviet Union in the name of the Chinese People's Volunteers. Theoretically, these troops are all volunteers. Of course, in fact, the military cadres are all sent by our party."

Luo Yaoguo murmured, "Do you think I'm that easy to talk to?" Zhang Xueliang smiled lightly: "Of course you, Brother Fuwen, won't be so easy to talk to, but I believe that you will understand once you understand some of the principles of our military dispatch this time. Of course our volunteers are going to help the Soviet Union, but they will never fight against the Chinese National Defense Forces! We will make an agreement with the Soviet Union on this point, we will only fight against the Russian or Japanese troops...that is, our volunteers will You were deployed to fight against White Russia in the Amur River Basin, and you fought against Red Russia in Ussuriysk. In this way...you kill Red Russia, we kill White Russia, regardless of whether Red Russia or White Russia are Russians, you will always kill one One less, as long as they are all killed, the Soviet Union will be defeated! Brother Fuwen, what do you think?"

Luo Yaoguo said coldly: "Wouldn't it be better for Red Russia and White Russia to kill each other? Why bother wading through such muddy waters?"

Zhang Xueliang did not answer this question directly, but stood up, in front of a world map hanging on the wall of the living room, stretched out his finger and stroked the line from Zhangjiakou to Irkutsk on the map, and said with a smile: " If Brother Fuwen can tacitly allow our party to send volunteers, then I will be the political commissar of the volunteers! One hundred thousand troops will march into the Soviet Far East to fight... 10 troops need to constantly replenish supplies, personnel, and transport the wounded , so it is necessary to set up military depots on the territory of the Soviet Union, establish logistics and transportation units... and even build a railway line from Kulun to Irkutsk! In case the political commissar of this volunteer army suddenly betrays the revolution at a critical moment... Auxiliary Brother Wen, do you want to try it?"

Luo Yaoguo agreed with Zhang Xueliang's suggestion with a silent nod.This is indeed a plan worth trying. Of course, we don’t expect the CCP’s volunteer army to defect at critical moments. These soldiers armed with communist ideology are unlikely to betray.But Zhang Xueliang himself is different... As long as Zhang Xueliang, the political commissar, can play the role of Xi'an in history at a critical moment, causing the Soviet Far East Front Army to fall into brief chaos when a decisive surprise attack occurs, it will be enough to decide the Soviet Far East. The fate of the Front Army!

Luo Yaoguo nodded with a smile: "Okay, brother Hanqing, as long as your party's volunteers don't show up in the battle with the National Defense Forces, I can handle it. What does it have to do with us when you kill Belarus? Anyway, we are not real. wanted to restore the Romanov dynasty."

……

In the meeting room of the CPC Central Committee Headquarters in Baotou, the atmosphere is surprisingly solemn.The young Communist Party of China discovered for the first time that the great mission of saving the international communist movement would fall on its own weak shoulders.No matter from which point of view, Molotov, secretary of the Executive Committee of the Communist International, came to Baotou to seek help from the CCP, which means that the CCP’s position in the international communist movement has become more and more important!Maybe it won't take long to keep pace with the Bolshevik Party of the Soviet Union?

Zhou Enlai sat there, carefully and even curiously looking at the head of the Communist International in front of him.He set off from Moscow by plane and flew over half of the Eurasian continent before arriving at Baotou Airport.Li Lisan, the nominal leader of the CCP, personally greeted him at the airport, and with the welcome of 10,000+ Baotou citizens, he drove to the People’s Square in the center of Baotou in a BMW luxury convertible produced by the Sino-German company’s automobile factory. On that day, Zhou Enlai and Mao Zedong held a grand welcome ceremony for him in front of the CPC Central Committee headquarters, and warmly welcomed the Soviet Politburo member into the CPC headquarters building.However, in the face of the grand reception of the CCP, Molotov's interest was always a little low. Perhaps his mind was still on the battlefield in the Far East filled with gunpowder.

After the good Brazilian coffee was delivered, it only exuded a strong aroma on the small mahogany coffee table next to everyone, and no one had the thought to touch the coffee cup.All eyes were on Molotov, waiting for him to break the silence first.Molotov frowned and looked at the Chinese comrades present.Zhou Enlai still looks like an upright gentleman, and he doesn't know if he is so upright in his heart.Mao Zedong was unpredictable, and no one could see what he was planning.Zhang Xueliang knew at a glance... he was gloating!I don't know why the CCP allowed such a warlord to join in, and gave back such a status as a member of the Politburo?Li Lisan still had that sad expression on his face. It seemed that he was the only one who was really worried about the future of the Soviet Union.Zhang Guotao looked sluggish, probably because he had lost confidence in the revolution.Zhu De, the Red Commander of the CCP, had a dark face and could not see any expression at all.

Molotov nodded slightly to Zhou Enlai who was opposite him.He leaned forward a little: "Vice Chairman Zhou, the world revolution has reached the most dangerous moment, I think you should also understand the special status of the Soviet Union in the world revolution. The Soviet Union is not only the first socialist country , is still an industrial country, and the revolutions of all countries in the world cannot do without the leadership and help of the Soviet Union... and for the CCP, once the Soviet Union fails, you will face pressure from imperialism all over the world! With the power of the CCP, I am afraid that even a Chinese imperialism cannot handle it? From this perspective, the failure of the Soviet Union is the failure of the CCP! Therefore, at a time when the cause of communism is facing great difficulties, the Comintern hopes that the CCP can start from Proceeding from the overall situation of the world revolution, use all your strength to help the Soviet Union, and as long as the Soviet Union can tide over the difficulties, China will definitely be the next country to establish a socialist system!"

Zhou Enlai smiled slightly.Molotov’s last words can be seen as the Soviet Union’s preparation to pay a certain price for the CCP’s help. Of course, it may also be a blank check that will never be cashed!But the current CCP is no longer the puppet that was manipulated by the Soviet Union.If the USSR wants CCP's help, he better pay it now, not in the distant future.

"Comrade Molotov, I hope you can understand that China is an ancient country that just got rid of the colonial oppression of Western imperialism not long ago, and has emerged as a new imperialist country in one fell swoop. In a country like ours, nationalism is quite popular. Yes, the masses of the people are far from tired of the state policy of aggression and expansion by the investment class, and even they are quite enthusiastic about opening up territories or regaining lost ground! The strength of the National Defense Forces and the victory of foreign wars can give the people an illusion of elation Satisfaction, and the expansion or recovery of territory can also ease the contradiction between the number of people and the lack of land in the country, so in this case, if our party wants to provide help to the Soviet Union, it may face huge pressure from home! At least we cannot rely on domestic The situation of the war will help the Soviet Union, because that will definitely mean the failure of our party's military struggle! However, out of the consideration of the common goals and interests of the proletarians of the world, our party is still willing to provide assistance to the Soviet Union within its capacity, and our party can call on China The working class of the Chinese Communist Party formed a volunteer army and entered the Soviet Union to help the Soviet proletariat in fighting. However, this volunteer army must be under the leadership of our party's military cadres, and all military operations must be approved by us, and they cannot participate in any battles with the Chinese National Defense Forces! "After saying these words, Zhou Enlai leaned back on the sofa chair, picked up the coffee cup on the coffee table and drank lightly.

Molotov listened quietly to the interpreter's words, still with a noncommittal expression on his face.He smacked his lips slightly: "You don't want to start a civil war, and the international community can understand it. After all, the powerful military power of Chinese imperialism is difficult for the Soviet Union to defeat. But why are your volunteers unwilling to help the Soviet Union resist Chinese imperialism? In that case , what do we need your volunteers for? Comrade Enlai, do you know that on the Ussuriysk front, the Chinese imperialist army and the Japanese imperialist army are fighting on almost the same front, and it is difficult for us to distinguish clearly Who is who..."

"Comrade Molotov, our volunteer army can be responsible for the battle on the front line of the Amur River. As far as I know, there is no Chinese National Defense Force there." Zhang Xueliang interrupted Molotov at once, frowned and smirked there: "We If you take over the battle with Belarus, then your Red Army can naturally be used for the defense of Ussuriysk, which can be regarded as helping the Soviet Union."

The word social patriotism slipped through Molotov's mind, and he listened quietly to Zhang Xueliang's words through gritted teeth.It seems that these Chinese communists want to please both sides. They want to gain benefits by helping the Soviet Union, but they are not willing to really contribute to fighting the Chinese National Defense Forces. Instead, they want to deal with the weaker White Russian army. It is really cunning!But the Soviet Union is really facing great difficulties now, and it is always good to have some reinforcements.Thinking of this, Molotov showed a stiff smile: "Let's just leave it like this. The volunteers you send will not be used to fight against the Chinese National Defense Forces. Then how many troops do you plan to send? When will you reach the Far East? Besides... I I think you also know that the current domestic situation in the Soviet Union is not very good. Industrial production has encountered some troubles, and there is no way to provide enough weapons and equipment to arm your army for the time being, but it should change by the end of the year... The weapons and equipment before this , I hope you can solve it by yourself, and when our industrial production returns to normal, we will pay back the principal with interest."

Looks like things are really going badly in the USSR!Zhou Enlai thought quietly, the Soviet Union can't get enough weapons and equipment to arm the CCP's volunteers... Don't they have a steel production capacity of 600 million tons?Where did it all go?Is it really because more than 1000 million reform-through-labor prisoners have been amnesty, so that there is not enough raw material supply?This is really ridiculous!However, the CCP has quite a lot of weapons and ammunition hoarded in its hands. Maybe it can take some out, as long as it can be rewarded in the future.

He sat up straight, put his hands together, and showed a sincere smile on his face: "Although we are also in great difficulty, but considering the overall situation of the world revolution, we are still willing to provide volunteers to the Soviet Union! We can deploy volunteers in Jehol and The [-] border guards in Eastern Mongolia have been collectively demobilized and turned into volunteers...the troops will be mobilized to the border between Eastern Mongolia and the Soviet Union by mid-July at the latest..."

"Then who will command this volunteer army?" Molotov nodded, expressing his appreciation for the speed of the CCP's actions.

Zhou Enlai smiled and pointed to Zhang Xueliang: "Comrade Zhang Xueliang will serve as political commissar of the Chinese People's Volunteers, Comrade Peng Dehuai will serve as Commander of the Chinese People's Volunteers, Comrade Liu Bocheng will serve as Chief of Staff, and Comrade Chen Yi will serve as Director of the Political Department. These comrades are experienced Most of our 9.18 volunteers are veterans who participated in the [-] War and the Suto War. They have rich combat experience. I believe their performance on the Far East battlefield will be satisfactory! But we still need to discuss Let's talk about follow-up supplies and supplements..."

……

"Your Majesty, I have a bad feeling that the Bolsheviks in the Far East may soon receive reinforcements...so I suggest that the Russian army launch an offensive in Amursk as soon as possible, and must defeat the Red Army there before the enemy's reinforcements arrive. !"

At this time, in the meeting room of the Nikolayev Villa in Vladivostok, a military meeting hosted by Empress Anastasia was in progress.Perhaps it was because of being a dewy couple with the Russian empress, Luo Yaoguo worked really hard this time to help her make suggestions.

"Do you have a hunch?" Anastasia glanced at the stern-faced marshal, and said angrily, "Is your Chinese army fighting based on a hunch?"

Luo Yaoguo knew that the empress was upset because of Natalie's sudden arrival...but he wouldn't be the same as this crazy woman.He stood up, walked to the front of the map, and pointed to the empty mountains and plains around Amursk with the baton in his hand: "Well, it's not a hunch, it's intelligence! The Chinese Communist Party is already preparing to send troops to the Far East. It is estimated that the first batch will have 10 people! And as infantry, their combat effectiveness is not inferior to that of the Soviet Red Army!"

Chapter 0682 open secret (a) together

July 1933, 7 AD.At 6 o'clock in the morning on this day, the Battle of Amursk broke out! With the support of 3 artillery pieces, more than 15 aircraft of the German Condor Legion, and more than ten Japanese gunboats, 200 Belarusian troops launched a full-scale attack on the [-] Soviet Red Army defending Central Amursk!At the same time, the intervening forces of China and Japan also launched a diversionary attack on the Ussuriysk defense line that the Soviet Red Army painstakingly managed. For a while, the entire Far East battlefield showed a white-hot state!

At this time, in most parts of China, it seems that they are indifferent to this war that is happening at their doorstep. The whole country has now entered a period of stable development.The Soviet Union is in a civil war, Japan has been defeated, and other powers seem to have good relations with China. In Europe, there are two "powerful" allies, Germany and Poland. Even the economy has not been affected by the Great Depression. booming period.It seems that the days of turmoil in this country are over, and everyone just needs to live a good life and watch the country flourish under the strong leadership of a vote of reactionaries.

In the small cafeteria of Wuhan Sino-German United University of Technology, it looks like a dinner party at the moment, with Chinese snacks, Western dishes, and various fruits and cold dishes.The female soldiers in the skirts and military uniforms of the National Defense Forces carried trays with various wines and drinks, shuttled back and forth in the restaurant, and would graciously fill up the wine glasses of any guests when they saw them empty.Most of the guests who came to the dinner party came from the U Engineering Committee and the Zhongshan Academy of Sciences. Most of these people were foreigners, and only a few were oriental faces, but they spoke fluent German or English!And they all looked at those foreign devils in the restaurant with adoring eyes... It's really a bit suspected of xenophobia!At this time, the guests were standing casually, chatting and laughing with each other in low voices, but the topics discussed everywhere were inseparable from something called uranium!At this time, Luo Yaoguo, chief of the general staff of the National Defense Forces, was only wearing a long silk gown, walking around the restaurant with the bright Natalie on his arm, stretching his ears, listening with great interest to those great scientists who wanted to use uranium 235 What are some interesting things to do?

"Why do we spend so much money on such a boring project as research on how to separate uranium-235? Is it just to win a Nobel Prize? Professor Wei, why don't we invest our funds in more meaningful places? For example, some special alloys, those that are resistant to high temperature, corrosion, fatigue, and light. Our Aeronautical Research Institute urgently needs some special alloys that can be used to strengthen the structure of the engine and the fuselage. Your U engineering committee has many world-class alloys. Scientists, can you let them direct their research..."

Oh, this is Wang Zhu from the Aeronautical Research Institute. He is also an academician of the Zhongshan Research Institute, so he was also invited to this dinner... Is it time to start the strategic bomber project?Otherwise, what will be used to drop atomic bombs in the future?Luo Yaoguo took a sip of champagne, thought with a smile.

"I think it is possible to separate an electric ion stream of uranium in a magnetic field to produce uranium-235; this method is currently the method for separating uranium-235 in the laboratory, and the mass spectrometer we use now does this. I want to make A giant mass spectrometer to get enough uranium-235. This stuff has never been done before - a lot of special things need to be built, and the key part of it should be a giant electromagnet that we're going to use to maintain a constant magnetic field, A slight change in voltage can erase the tiny difference between uranium-238 and uranium-235."

"I think the best way to separate uranium isotopes is to turn them into gaseous compounds and then use a metal membrane with a microporous structure. The micropores restrict ordinary gas flow and allow diffusion flow, so you can use the mass The key to this method is to produce a stable gaseous compound of uranium, and to find a suitable metal diaphragm... After all, it is easy to produce a stable gaseous compound of uranium, and now there is a laboratory method, That is to use hydrogen fluoride to react with uranium dioxide, then you can get uranium tetrafluoride, and then react uranium tetrafluoride with fluorine, you can get the gaseous compound of uranium, uranium hexafluoride. However, making a metal diaphragm is a I am afraid that China's scientific research and industrial technology alone will not be able to break through the technical bottleneck in a short period of time, so we should seek help from German or American companies... In addition, if we want to build an industrialized uranium isotope separation plant, I am afraid we need to let Germany Involvement with large American companies, and the construction of large-scale power plants to provide electricity for isotope separation plants..."

Well, that's Professor Leo Szilard, a Hungarian Jewish scientist, and Professor Otto Robert Frisch, an Austrian Jewish scientist, discussing methods for separating uranium isotopes.Hearing the conversation between these two people, Luo Yaoguo couldn't help but stop.Szilard's method should be the electromagnetic separation method, while Frisch's method should be the gas diffusion method.These two methods are currently the main methods for discovering and separating isotopes, and they are also the main methods used by the Manhattan Project in history... If I remember correctly, the gas diffusion method should be more suitable for mass production of uranium 235 than the electromagnetic method!Obtaining a sufficient amount of uranium 235 is the key element to produce an atomic bomb, and it is also the most difficult hurdle!

And relying on China's current industrial foundation and scientific research strength, it is almost an impossible task to develop and produce a gas diffuser!The only way is to use the scientific research and industrial strength of Germany and the United States to design and manufacture a gas diffusion machine... Fortunately, Otto Hahn and Lise Meitner have not yet discovered the phenomenon of nuclear fission.This was discovered in 1939. If this is still the case in this time and space, China will have five to six years to build a uranium isotope separation plant.After all, before the discovery of nuclear fission, the United States and Germany should not be aware of the strategic value of uranium 235, and they will not strictly control the equipment and technology that may be used to separate uranium 235!

Of course, there is also a problem with this, that is, after Germany and the United States learned about the phenomenon of nuclear fission, they can also use the method found by China to manufacture more gas diffusion machines for mass production of uranium 235...that is to say , the emergence of nuclear weapons will be earlier than in history!It will even appear during the most intense moments of World War II!

But now Luo Yaoguo feels that he has no choice, because before the discovery of nuclear fission, a large amount of resources were invested in the separation of uranium isotopes, and obtaining related technologies and equipment from Germany and the United States is the only way for China to possess nuclear weapons at the same time as the United States and Germany. The only shortcut!And it must be done, because after the world enters the nuclear age, the only way to keep the world empire that has been acquired is to have nuclear weapons!Otherwise, no matter how many fruits of victory you grab, you will inevitably end up with nothing in the end.

"Supplementary text! This is really an absurd plan, a super-large thermal power plant, a factory that processes uranium ore into uranium dioxide...and also builds a factory to separate isotopes of uranium! God, how much will it cost? Hundreds of millions! Even more!" Luo Yaoguo's brother-in-law, Lu Ming, seemed to be a little drunk now, and when he saw Luo Yaoguo, he immediately joined him and began to complain: "You asked me to take charge of these factories, but you refused to tell me about them What is it used for? This is really ridiculous!"

"Keep your voice down, Ziyan." Luo Yaoguo frowned, turning the wine glass with his hand, feeling a bit embarrassed: "Of course these factories are used to manufacture secret weapons, the entire U project is for the manufacture of secret weapons, and this kind of Secret weapons are very important to our country, well, that's all I can tell you now!"

"That's all? Based on these words, Hu Hanmin is willing to transfer the money? It's unbelievable!" Lu Ming complained, raised his neck and downed another big glass.Obviously, he is not in a good mood now, but he was dispatched from the position of deputy minister of armaments to a remote place like Lanzhou to take charge of some inexplicable factories!

"It's inconvenient to talk here, come with me." Luo Yaoguo pulled him to a corner of the restaurant, and asked Natalie to prevent any idlers from approaching, before asking, "How's the situation in Lanzhou?"

"Which aspect are you referring to? If you refer to the construction progress of our factories, it is very good, and they are all proceeding step by step according to the plan. But if you are asking about that area, it is terrible... Land degradation, water conservancy It is in disrepair and has been in drought for years. Local finances can only be described as collapsed. The six-year compulsory education that should be implemented on paper cannot be implemented even in the provincial capital! It is too poor and too stupid! I can’t believe it’s part of China...and it’s under the jurisdiction of the Nationalist Government! Fuwen, should we spend more money on supporting the development of the western provinces than your secret weapons? The country still has Such a poor province, but we are spending money recklessly! Make some secret weapons that I don’t know if they are useful.” Speaking of this, Lu Ming lowered his voice again: “I am not the only one who has these ideas, the Ministry of Armaments People who know about these projects think so, and some people report to Zhangong, saying that we are wasting public money!"

"Are you worried about this? There's no problem, Mr. Zhan won't get involved in this matter." Luo Yaoguo said, "How much uranium do you have now? How is the storage situation?"

Lu Ming sighed softly, and thought for a while: "There are [-] tons of uranium ore, and about [-] tons of uranium oxide... Among them, the ore was mined from Kolyma Mountain. The mine there has now been built, and a large-scale The mining of uranium oxide is about to start. The uranium oxide was bought from the Czech Republic, and that kind of thing has strong radiation, so there is a special warehouse for storing it. There is also a battalion of military police guarding those things, so there should be no problem."

"Well, uranium is radioactive, and that kind of radiation is harmful to the human body. You have to be careful. By the way, do the workers who process uranium ore have corresponding protective measures?"

"There are protective clothing provided by the Germans, but I don't know if it is useful? In addition, Wang Junhao also provided some prisoners... Although they are prisoners, they can't... they will die!"

Luo Yaoguo waved his hand and stopped Lu Ming's words. He didn't want to hear these words, because he would feel guilty if he heard them too much.It was suddenly raining outside, the wind was whistling, thunder was rumbling, and a shower of raindrops came in through the open doors and windows, dispelling the stuffy heat inside the house.

"Ziyan." Luo Yaoguo looked at the tumbling dark clouds and the falling lightning in the sky outside the window, and said in a distant voice, "I know that there is a kind of bomb that uses uranium 90 with a purity of more than 235% as the charge. A bomb like this A bomb can wipe out the entire Wuhan! So we must have it! You may not understand why uranium 235 is so powerful now, or even how this thing can explode... But I can guarantee that it will not be a few years , you will know, but at that time we will not be able to use the technology and brains of the world to separate uranium 235 like we are now... and there is no way for us to get this bomb out in the first place !"

"Is the bomb you're talking about still being carried out by other countries?" Lu Ming's drunkenness seemed to disappear immediately, and his voice trembled slightly.Of course, he firmly believed in what his brother-in-law, who controlled the Military Intelligence Bureau and seemed to know everything, said.

Luo Yaoguo drank up the champagne in the glass in one gulp, and faintly uttered two words: "Soviet Union!"
