mixed in the war

Chapter 179 Resources

"What did Qin Wei leave behind?"

Zheng Jiemin was 'conquered' by Qin Wei.And the reason why he, the secretary-general of the military command, was subdued was because of the guarantee that later generations of Yankees would pass through the world: carrots and sticks.Unfortunately, he didn't know that Qin Wei's so-called big stick was just a phantom, which couldn't hurt anyone, otherwise he would have thrown him into the dungeon long ago, squeezing out all the value.

However, as a veteran spy, because of a momentary trance, he didn't notice Qin Wei's small movements when he left. This is his fault.

But again, no one will trouble him for this mistake, on the contrary, some people may even thank him.

For example: watching him and Qin Wei leave behind the future prime minister of the republic.

"look by youself."

Pulling Bo Gu into the car, Zhou Enlai handed the note tightly held in his hand to the other party.

"What, this..." Before reading the contents of the note, Bo Gu raised his head in horror: "Chiang Kai-shek is so bold!"

"It's not so bold. He wanted to wipe out all of us a long time ago. This is just his long-cherished wish." Zhou Enlai sighed softly, and took the note back from Bogu's hand: " But it's a pity. He is destined to be unpopular. You see, he hides him so tightly, but he is still trying to help us. This note has obviously been prepared for a long time. It's just that there has been no chance to send it out That's all."

"No wonder this Qin Wei always acts as if he is particularly offensive to me. Is he trying to cover up his true will?" Bogu became excited.

"I can't say that. Judging from the current situation, he should just have a good impression of us, or he is dissatisfied with Chiang Kai-shek's behavior of provoking internal strife without the foreign enemy being driven away. Therefore, he intends to put Their secret plan was leaked to us, and they expressed their support for us to fight against all invading enemies." Zhou Enlai said solemnly: "I can feel that he still has a certain intention of alienating us."

"Strange? We've already reached this point. If Chiang Kai-shek knows, can he still enjoy his life with the Kuomintang like he is now?" Bo Gu dissatisfied.

"That's his own choice. All we can do is fight for it." Zhou Enlai smiled again, "And, do you think what he said today will let Chiang Kai-shek know?"

"Zheng Jiemin is Chiang Kai-shek's confidant." Bo Gu said.

"But he has a good relationship with Qin Wei." Zhou Enlai said with a smile: "Besides, according to the previous information, after Qin Wei arrived in Chongqing, the first senior military official he contacted was Zheng Jiemin. The two have maintained a close relationship until now. It's a good relationship. Zheng Jiemin's wife, Ke Shufang, even helped Qin Wei find a woman... This is not an ordinary relationship. Zheng Jiemin is flattering Qin Wei."

"It seems to be true. But after all, Zheng Jiemin is the director of the military command secretariat. He has a high position and authority, and he has always been trusted by Chiang Kai-shek. What if he..."

"Hehe, since Qin Wei dared to say such things in front of us, it means that he is sure to restrain Zheng Jiemin. Otherwise, let alone him. Even He Yingqin and Bai Chongxi may not have the courage to say that under such circumstances Say those words." Zhou Enlai said.

"That's right, I'm overthinking. But if that's the case, how can we continue to fight for this Qin Wei?" Bogu asked again: "He was well hidden by Lao Jiang, so it's not easy to get in touch with."

"That's right," Zhou Enlai sighed, "This is also the most troublesome place for us. Around Qin and Wei. It's either the military command or the central command. When I go out occasionally, I come into contact with senior officials and generals of the Kuomintang..."

"He has a very good relationship with major universities..." Bogu said suddenly.

"Don't think about it." Zhou Enlai shook his head directly, "I have studied what Qin Wei did in Chongqing. He has been finding jobs for those experts and professors, and even drove some people far away. I think, He probably doesn't like having these academics mixed in with politics."

"But didn't he bring these people to defeat Kong Xiangxi some time ago?" Bogu said.

"That's different." Zhou Enlai shook his head again, "Kong Xiangxi committed the anger of the public. Everyone has long accumulated grievances. Someone took the lead, so naturally everyone would scold each of them. But if it's just to build a relationship with him, these scholars Once launched, the nature will be different.”

"Then what should we do? Just watch as this person who may have a crush on us and is willing to help us is far away from us, and can't even say a few words?" Bo Gu frowned and said, "You know, Qin Wei The status in Chiang Kai-shek's side is very high. Even He Yingqin and Bai Chongxi are willing to sell his account, which is something that even Chiang Kai-shek can't do."

"And he can also get access to the top secrets of the Kuomintang, which is something that so many of our intelligence personnel can't do with all our efforts." Zhou Enlai laughed.

"You're still laughing... This is a big gold mine. If we can pull it over, how much effort can we save for our development? How much danger can we avoid?" Bo Gu shouted.

"Speaking of gold mines, do you have any thoughts on the things on it?" Zhou Enlai suddenly took out the note and spread it out again, "There are so many good things."

"What?" Bogu didn't look carefully just now, he only saw the information that Chiang Kai-shek, He Yingqin, and Bai Chongxi planned to conspire to drive the New Fourth Army to Jiangbei, and set up an ambush on the road, intending to annihilate the main force of the New Fourth Army.Before even reading this information, he was so anxious that he almost jumped up, and naturally he didn't read the following carefully.

"Five large gold mines, five large copper mines, three large coal mines, and two large oil fields in Outer Mongolia." Zhou Enlai sighed, "It seems that he sold two large oil fields to Kong Xiangxi and the British. It is true, and the oil field is not fake like it is said outside, it should be real. Unfortunately, it is not within our control."

"Outer Mongolia...what does he mean? Could it be that he wants us to ask the Soviet Union?" Bo Gu asked.

"Maybe that's what it means." Zhou Enlai tapped his fingers on his knees, lost in thought.It is impossible for Qin Wei not to know that Outer Mongolia is now under the control of the Soviets, and Qiao Bashan has declared independence for more than 20 years while holding the Soviet Union's thigh... Although in 1924, the Beiyang government and the Soviet Union signed the " In the Sino-Soviet Agreement, the Soviet Union has recognized that Outer Mongolia is Chinese territory, and that China has complete and permanent sovereignty in Outer Mongolia.But in 1927, when Chiang Kai-shek was in power, the Soviet Union turned its face and asked Chiang Kai-shek more than once to recognize foreign independence. In 1928, there was a large-scale unification and progressive movement in Outer Mongolia that opposed independence and demanded a return to the motherland. As a result, the Soviet Union marched into Outer Mongolia for bloody suppression on the grounds of "counter-insurgency". Troops were sent to Outer Mongolia, and the Sino-Soviet armies fought small-scale battles on the eastern border of Outer Mongolia.But since then, the squadron has never entered Outer Mongolia again.Afterwards, the Chiang Kai-shek government was busy suppressing anti-revolutionary and righteous forces in the south, and then the Anti-Japanese War broke out, and the Nanjing government became increasingly unable to predict the affairs of Outer Mongolia.The pro-Soviet Qiaobashan took the opportunity to develop again. In addition, Japan also caused troubles in Manchuria. Outer Mongolia even signed a "border" agreement with the puppet Manchukuo to engage in activities to split the country.So far, Outer Mongolia has formed a de facto separation during the Chinese civil war... But now Qin Wei has given him the addresses of more than a dozen large mines in Outer Mongolia, and even a large oil field. What does he mean?

"Qin Wei is still right: If you fall behind, you will be beaten!... If you are beaten, you deserve it!"

My own things were robbed by others, and the person who robbed them was actually a "comrade".Unknowingly, Zhou Enlai's fists were clenched tightly.

"When I get back, I will send a telegram to the central government. I want to go back to Yan'an."

"Back to Yan'an?"

"That's right." Opening his fist lightly, Zhou Enlai spread the note on his lap again, "Do you remember how much money Zhaoyuan provided to the central government last year?"

"There was a war last year, and the gold from Zhaoyuan couldn't be shipped out. This year...even the city of Zhaoyuan was taken by the Japanese." Bo Gu mumbled.

"But our comrades are still working hard. Sending out one by one, one by one, even by one centimeter, and even sacrificing their lives for a little bit of gold. The Japanese 'Kinugawa Mining Company' was also confused by them It is impossible to start work normally. Comrades are actually protecting our precious resources with their lives." Zhou Enlai sighed.

"What does this have to do with your going back to Yan'an? Could it be that you really want to reach out to the Soviet Union..." Bo Gu was surprised.

"Why not?" Zhou Enlai said indifferently: "They are all comrades. They came to help us get rid of the oppression of imperialism, capitalism, and feudalism, and we can also help them mine mineral resources. Besides, the Soviet Union also recognized China has sovereignty over Outer Mongolia, and it is only right and proper to mine on its own land. No one can say anything.”

"But...but this will anger the Soviet Union. It's not like you don't know them..." Bogu was shocked by Zhou Enlai's words.Who knows what is going on in Outer Mongolia?Chiang Kai-shek is now occupying the country's central government and has not said anything. If a local force like them comes forward, I am afraid it will only anger the Soviet Union even more.China's revolution is already very difficult. Chiang Kai-shek is now ignoring foreign enemies and sharpening his sword against them. If the Soviet Union is pushed to the opposite side...

"Don't worry. Although the minerals recorded here really moved my heart, and even made me very greedy, but I'm not that impulsive yet." Zhou Enlai looked at Bogu with a smile: "I'm just going to discuss it with my comrades. Think of a way. In a short period of time, I think we will only think about whether we can get a little help from it, and the rest is a long-term matter that requires greater efforts..." (To be continued...)
