China's Ministry of Security also knows a lot about the intelligence agencies of various countries.As long as they don't do excessive things in China, that is, don't create some bloody cases.How to collect intelligence, how to do information trading, China will not control.But if these intelligence agencies make a criminal case, China will directly arrest these intelligence personnel.

The United States also has many intelligence agencies in China.

The intelligence to be handed over to the United States this time was not created out of thin air.It is that China really wants to negotiate with Japan, so it is not too difficult for the content of this negotiation to be leaked and let the US intelligence agencies know.The difficulty is how to let the information leak naturally, so as not to make the United States suspicious.

"We'll talk about these things back in Beijing. Let's all take a break. It's been a hard time."

The 43-day trip to Northeast China is a successful conclusion.

During this trip to Northeast China, I met North Korean leader Cui Xian. The two sides not only had a lot of cooperation, but also mainly unified their thinking.Duan Xun stated in person that he would definitely support the unification of North Korea, but what Duan Xun wanted was that the North Korean government believed in China and followed China's footsteps.China's grand strategy must not be affected by the issue of unification.It can be said that the meeting was very successful.

Then there was a meeting with the special envoy of the President of the United States.

Duan Xun's goal was basically achieved.

Of course, in addition to these, Duan Xun also carefully inspected the situation in the Northeast.Overall, the current development situation in Northeast China is very good.Agriculture, industry, forestry, and fishery in Northeast China are all developing well.

It was already mid-March 1941 when I returned to Beijing.

After returning to Beijing, the first thing Duan Xun did was to add a Ministry of Defense to the Military Commission.Shang Zhen, the commander of the Northeast Military Region, was transferred from the Northeast Military Region and officially served as the Vice Chairman of the Military Commission and concurrently served as the Minister of National Defense.

From the end of the Sino-Soviet War, it took Duan Xun nearly a year and a half to completely complete the transformation of the Military Commission.

After Shang Zhen returned to Beijing, he appointed Li Yunlong, the former deputy commander of the Northeast Military Region and concurrently the commander of the Heilongjiang Military Region, as the commander of the Northeast Military Region.Yuan Zuming was transferred to serve as the deputy commander of the Northeast Military Region, and Wan Yaohuang, who was the commander of the Western Group Army of the Northern Military Region during the Sino-Soviet War, was transferred to the Northeast as the Chief of Staff of the Northeast Military Region.

After Duan Xun returned to Beijing, he arranged his work in an orderly manner, but it was not so easy in Washington.

"Build light aircraft carriers and escort aircraft carriers?"

"Yes."

Marshall reported his thoughts to Roosevelt.

Although Marshall was not from the navy, he also communicated a lot with the navy as the chief of staff.Marshall needs to briefly report these things to Roosevelt.

"Although we won the battle of Midway Island, our own casualties were also very serious. Compared with Japan, in order to launch a war, it began to make sufficient preparations a few years ago. Therefore, we are still at a disadvantage in the Pacific Ocean. The Japanese army recently launched In the battle of landing in Australia, although the Australian army resisted tenaciously, if left alone, Australia would really be unable to withstand it. The Australian army including Illian Island (New Guinea) would also be surrounded by the Japanese army. We must change this situation, we must To support Australia, Australia cannot fall into the hands of the Japanese. But Japan controls most of the Solomon Islands and blocked our sea passage to support Australia. Our time is limited. It takes time to build aircraft carriers and battleships, not short It can be built within a short period of time. But for now, we need to quickly replenish the frontline troops to contain the Japanese navy. The best way is to build a large number of light aircraft carriers and escort aircraft carriers. Although these aircraft carriers are not as powerful as ours The main aircraft carrier, but their production speed is fast, as long as the number is sufficient, they can completely replace the role of the main aircraft carrier."

"How efficient can it be?"

"In 20 days to a month, we can produce a light aircraft carrier. If we modify some of our existing large ships, then half a month, in about 20 days, we can also modify an escort aircraft carrier. A light aircraft carrier Aircraft carriers, even if they can carry more than a dozen or more than 5 aircraft, are the most beneficial supplements for the front-line troops. At present, the Japanese Navy has also added a large number of escort aircraft carriers, all of which are provided by China to Japan. Yes. Our intelligence agencies have spent a lot of time doing investigations. Since May and June last year, China has built at least ten escort aircraft carriers for Japan. These escort aircraft carriers can not only directly participate in battles, but also serve as transport ships use."

"Damn Chinese."

US Secretary of State Cordell Hull, sitting aside, couldn't help cursing China.

China is just too much.

Although the combat effectiveness of the ten escort aircraft carriers is much lower than that of the main aircraft carrier, it is not easy to mess with a large number.It can carry two to three hundred aircraft during a war, and if it is used as a transport ship, it can carry seven to eight hundred aircraft at one time.Without the support of China, how could the Japanese navy be so powerful now.

Look at so many aircraft carriers, so many battleships, and heavy cruisers in the hands of the Japanese.

"President, the production of our main aircraft carrier will take time. In this time period, building a large number of light aircraft carriers and escort aircraft carriers is the best way."

"Do as you wish."

Roosevelt had been listening quietly.

While smoking, I don't know if I'm really thinking about what Marshall said, or thinking about other things.Anyway, Roosevelt did not speak until Marshall had finished speaking, and then Roosevelt opened his mouth.

Roosevelt would not care about such specific matters in every detail.

Now that the Navy has such an idea, and Marshall, the chief of staff, also thinks so, Roosevelt will not object.When it comes to fighting, Roosevelt is inferior to those generals.

So Roosevelt was willing to delegate power.

"Yes."

"General Marshall, you can decide these matters, and you don't need to report to me one by one."

"Thank you President for your trust."

For Roosevelt, Marshall is still very grateful.

Because Marshall himself thought he was old, but Roosevelt still trusted him.Not just a simple trust, but an unreserved trust for Marshall.Roosevelt supported Marshall's transformation of the U.S. military.If it weren't for Roosevelt's support, how could Marshall have allowed those generals to retire early.

Marshall is to report the following development ideas.

Now that Roosevelt had agreed, Marshall left Roosevelt's office.After Marshall left, Cordell Hull immediately sat in front of Roosevelt and said, "Franklin, something big happened. Just because General Marshall was here, I didn't say anything."

"whats the matter?"

"Secret negotiations are currently underway between China and Japan."

"Secret negotiations?"

Roosevelt immediately snuffed out the cigarette in his hand, and said very seriously, "Are you sure?"

"Yes. Our intelligence agencies in the Far East have received information. I have confirmed this information from various aspects. There are indeed secret negotiations between China and Japan."

"What about the content? What about the content of the secret talks between China and Japan? What is it about?"

"Taiwan issue."

Cordell Hull's face was ugly, and he said: "The content of the secret talks between China and Japan is that China will give up its sovereignty claim over Taiwan. But Japan must agree to withdraw from the southern part of Sakhalin Island, and then assign the Thousand Islands to China. It is necessary to recognize that the sovereignty of the central and northern regions of Vietnam belongs to China."

"what?"

Roosevelt was very surprised.

It's all about what.But Roosevelt quickly calmed down and asked, "The Thousand Islands? Is there any relationship between China and China in history?"

"If you say there is a relationship, then you can find the relationship. After receiving General Stilwell's telegram, I have organized people to study the 'Nerchinsk Treaty' signed by China and Russia. The areas to be discussed by China are not It can be regarded as China's unreasonable trouble. Because according to the "Nerchinsk Treaty" of the year, there is nothing wrong with saying that those areas belong to China. But China has never exercised real rule over those areas, so it is only drawn on the map. Just a few. If China insists that the Thousand Islands are their inherent territory, it is not impossible.”

"What about north-central Vietnam?"

"Historically, Chinese emperors have ruled this region for a long time. But about 900 years ago, Vietnam began to part ways with China. But even so, Vietnam has always been China's sphere of influence. The central and northern regions of Vietnam, In particular, the Red River Delta is a place very suitable for human habitation, and it is one of Vietnam’s food producing areas. China insists that these places belonged to itself, and it can really produce a lot of documents to prove it.”

"This is a country with a long history."

Roosevelt smiled wryly.

In a country with a long history like China, China can tell a lot of things in any surrounding area.What does the Thousand Islands have to do with China?Including those areas that China said were under discussion with the Soviet Union, when did China really rule those areas?Even the Chinese emperor and the Chinese people didn't know there was such a place.

"Cordel, what do you think China means?"

"It seems they don't believe anyone."
