But most of them are mainly cultivated by universities of political science and law.These people were enough before, because China's main task at that time was to build the motherland.But as China wants to integrate into the world, the demand for talents in this area will rise rapidly.

How many talents who understand economics and laws are needed to invest overseas.Moreover, he is a talent in international economy and international law.These talents must be specially trained.

"Yes."

Duan Xun mentioned these things casually, but the cabinet had to make a detailed plan.

After all, setting up a university is not that easy.Fortunately, China's economy has been doing well in recent years, with money in its fiscal hands, and education allocations are increasing every year.The Ministry of Education has a plan to establish a new university every year.

After the third five-year plan, the fourth five-year plan was not carried out because of the war.But departments still have their own plans.The plan of the Ministry of Education is to have 1950 universities of various types across the country before 1000.Therefore, it is not difficult for the Ministry of Education to establish a university that specializes in cultivating international talents.

"Ren Chao (Li Jishen), convey the spirit of this meeting to the Military Committee. As long as the Material Committee signs a cooperation agreement with the British, then let the Southwest Military Region mobilize the transport planes in their hands to transport them to the British and Indian troops in Myitkyina. Materials. Let the Southwest Military Region concentrate on transporting troops and make preparations. This is also a test of the Southwest Military Region’s rapid response capability.”

"Yes."

"There are also munitions that the British and Indian troops need, so don't delay."

Apart from other things, Duan Xun is still very committed to doing business.As long as Britain can afford the price, Duan Xun will never swallow up what should be given.Since the United Kingdom is very sincere, even some of their important mines in Australia and South Africa are provided, and Duan Xun, the munition they want, will certainly not delay.

"I know."

"Continue to talk about the materials committee."

"The Japanese side once again placed a big order for us and is willing to pay directly in gold. It requires us to provide two aircraft carriers, six escort aircraft carriers, and three seaplane carriers within three months. Moreover, 11 additional destroyers, 19 escort destroyers and 22 transport ships. The specific models are all in this list.”

"Within three months?"

Duan Xun took the list from Li Jishen.

"Yes."

Selling warships is the most profitable business.

No matter how much army equipment is sold, compared with naval warships, the price difference is not known how many times.For example, the escort aircraft carrier that China sold to Japan eight months ago cost 2400 million US dollars.This is because of the "good relationship" between China and Japan, so the price is still somewhat favorable.Because of the outbreak of war, the price of these warships is also rising.If it is sold to the Japanese escort aircraft carrier now, the price is already more than 3000 million US dollars.The price of the main aircraft carrier that Japan wants must exceed 6000 million US dollars.

The reason why naval construction costs money is because warships are expensive.An aircraft carrier can be equipped with the equipment of a corps.After the war broke out, Japan's orders continued to flow.At present, Chinese shipyards are providing ships to Japan every day.Including naval warships, including transport ships.This is the most profitable business.

The gold, platinum, jewelry, and silver collected by Japan from Southeast Asia flowed into China continuously.The increase of China's gold reserves, Japan's contribution is very large.Including China's silver reserves are also rising rapidly.

During the second five-year plan, because the United States purchased silver at a high price, China sold a large amount of silver in exchange for American machinery and equipment.When World War II broke out, China's silver reserves were almost zero.But in the past few years since the outbreak of World War II, China's silver reserves have exceeded 5 million taels.

"Japan is probably planning a big battle, that's why they are so eager to ask us for so many aircraft carriers. As for destroyers and escort destroyers, it is because American submarines have been very active recently. Over the Coral Sea, American submarines attack Japan at every turn. Warships. Not long ago, an American submarine sank a Japanese battleship. In order to defend against these submarines, Japan needs a large number of destroyers and escort destroyers."

Li Jishen immediately expressed his guess.

Two main aircraft carriers, six escort aircraft carriers, and three seaplane carriers are required. This is a big deal.However, Japan also has some weaknesses, that is, the number of destroyers and escort destroyers is seriously insufficient.

Japan pays more attention to the development of large ships.

The destroyers and escort destroyers currently owned by Japan are basically built in China.But as Japan controlled more and more places, the number of these destroyers and escort destroyers was far from enough to protect itself.The United States is currently in a weak position in the Pacific Ocean, so it has adopted submarine warfare.

Japan's anti-submarine capability is not strong. As a result, American submarines are moving around and attacking Japanese warships everywhere.Therefore, Japan was in a hurry, so it added an order for 11 destroyers and 19 escort destroyers to protect their transportation lines.

"How much?"

"540 tons of gold. Japan is in a hurry. I hope our shipyards can quickly build these warships for them. As long as my country accepts this order, Japan is willing to pay the money in one lump sum."

"540 tons of gold."

Japan really made a fortune in Southeast Asia.

540 tons of gold, so much gold, take it out as soon as you say it.Japan is actually not a country with a high gold reserve, but it was able to spend so much money, all of which were collected from Southeast Asia.

"Can we finish it?"

"I asked the equipment department, and there is no major problem. It is of course not enough time to start building now. But we have enough reserves here. Of course, this requires the approval of the military committee. As long as the military committee approves, these warships will be completed within three months. It can still meet the needs of Japan."

"Then sell it."

There is cheap and no bastard.

Now Japan and the United States are fighting fiercely. Even if China sells these warships to Japan, Japan will not be able to threaten China.Chinese shipyards are currently building ships non-stop. China can't use them, and they can sell them to Japan.Anyway, shipbuilding now will not lose money.Especially for destroyers, escort destroyers, and transport ships, China's demand is also great.Because China has a lot of materials to sell to all over the world.

"Chairman, we are now negotiating with the United States, and the Soviet Union has also expressed its willingness to negotiate. Is this the case at this time..."

"It's okay. We only promised not to join the Axis powers, and we never said we would not do business with them. If we want us not to do business, the United States must show more sincerity. We will talk about when we reach an agreement with the Soviet Union."

"Vice Chairman Wang (Wang Jingwei), the price proposed by your country is too high."

"Commander Mikoyan, you also need to understand our country."

May 1941, 5, Almaty.

Representatives from China and the Soviet Union met in Almaty. The Chinese representative was Wang Jingwei, vice chairman of the Supreme Council, and the Soviet representative was Alastas Mikoyan, member of the Soviet Politburo and member of the Soviet Defense Council.

Since China and the Soviet Union signed the "Sino-Soviet Treaty of Friendship", Almaty has become an important trading city in the Northwest.The trade between China and the Soviet Union during this period was all through Almaty.

Because the geographical location of Almaty is very good.

At the beginning, the Soviet Union regarded Almaty as a strategic location between Russia and Central Asian countries.The railways of Russia and Central Asian countries pass through Almaty, and the logistics base of the Soviet frontline troops was in Almaty.Therefore, Almaty is the most important and largest city in Central Asia.The urban construction itself is very good.

After China took back Almaty, the status of Almaty did not weaken, but strengthened a lot.Because China decided to transfer the capital of Xinjiang Province from Dihua (Urumqi) to Yili.In China's system, the movement of the political center will inevitably bring about large government investment.If Yili is to become the provincial capital of Xinjiang, it must carry out major construction.Ili is less than 400 kilometers away from Almaty, and the movement of Xinjiang's political center has raised Almaty's status again.And in order to strengthen China's deterrence against Central Asia, in the past two years, railways have been laid in Ili and Almaty.

In addition, in the past two years, the Soviet Union has imported a large number of various materials from China, many of which entered Almaty through Xinjiang.Then use the railway in Almaty to enter the territory of the Soviet Union.As a result, Almaty became an important trade transit point between China and the Soviet Union.

Moreover, there have been many negotiations between China and the Soviet Union in the past two years, most of which were held in Almaty.Because the geographical location of Almaty is very good, it is suitable for the representatives of China and the Soviet Union to meet.

The same is true this time.

Mikoyan and Wang Jingwei met in Almaty.

"Member Mikoyan, you need to know one thing. Once the materials needed by your country land from the northeast port and use our country's railways to transport the materials, then we must adjust all the railway transportation plans. The northeast is our country's heavy industry base and our country's The food production area is also the resource gathering place of our country. Every day in the Northeast, a large amount of resources, a large amount of grain, and a large amount of heavy industrial products flow into the customs. Because of this, the daily railway schedule in the Northeast is full. They are not enough. If you adjust the itinerary for your supplies, then the entire railway plan will have to be changed. At that time, it will not be a few trains that will be changed, but hundreds, or even thousands of trains will be affected. "

"This is a train. If we use roads and trucks to deliver materials to you, then the transportation cost is much higher than that of trains. You will not let us use transport planes to deliver materials to you? Of course, if your country agrees, we can also arrange Airplanes and trucks will transport it for you. But the cost will be much higher than that of the railway.”

The most important content of the talks between China and the Soviet Union are three.

One is about the area to be discussed in the "Nerchinsk Treaty" proposed by China, the other is the materials supported by the USSR in the "Lease Act" of the United States, and the other is the materials purchased by the Soviet Union from China.

These three issues are mainly discussed.

Stalin was a very decisive figure who could afford and let go, and would never hesitate.After meeting and talking with Henry Wallace, Stalin already understood the current situation.The United States fears China and does not want to see China join the Axis powers.So I am very willing to sacrifice the Soviet Union to win over China.Of course, the Soviet Union is unwilling to be sacrificed, but the current situation is obvious, the Soviet Union has little room for bargaining.The Soviet Union feared China more than the United States.Even the United States is like this now, and Stalin immediately judged the current situation.

Therefore, Stalin was very decisive and immediately asked Mikoyan to negotiate with China.It is equivalent to answering the area to be discussed in the "Treaty of Nerchinsk".Therefore, the negotiations in this area went relatively smoothly. The Soviet Union admitted that according to the original "Nerchinsk Treaty", China's request was justified. According to the "Treaty of Nerchinsk", the Khabarovsk Territory, Kamchatka, Magadan, and the Kuril Islands all belong to China.

But the meaning of the Soviet Union is very simple.
