the world is at stake

At the moment at the entrance of the hospital, Jiang Yiwu holding flowers was chatting with the director of the hospital.His English is not good, his Russian is broken, and he stutters.

On the contrary, in order to obtain some urgently needed medicines from the National Defense Army's military supply department, the Russian-born director flattered him by telling everything he knew, "Kabayeva is a good woman, educated and beautiful. Although she was married, she has no children.

I asked her about her background, and it was hard to imagine that I knew her ex-husband, a cavalry captain named Kadyrov, a very rough Cossack. "

At present, the domestic development is very fast, but it is really not easy to find a woman of the right age who is highly educated and knowledgeable.

After Jiang Yiwu joined the army, he was used to seeing life and death, and his vision was different from before. If he was asked to go back to his hometown in Hunan and marry an ignorant village girl, that would be absolutely unwilling.Seeing almost forty, he is not married yet.

When picking up Kabayeva at the airport, Jiang Yiwu felt that this young woman was alluring. Although she was Russian, she was dignified and generous, and her face conformed to oriental aesthetics.

Let Jiujiu Wufu learn to court with flowers, which is enough to explain the charm of women.But hearing the name 'Kadyrov', Jiang Yiwu was taken aback suddenly, and asked, "Which army did her ex-husband belong to?"

"It's the Kuban Cossack army, called the 'His Majesty's Proud Grand Duchess Anastasia Mikhailovna' regiment." The dean said a very special regiment name.

Jiang Yiwu was even more stunned, he was also deeply impressed by this long and flamboyant group name.After being reminded by the dean, he recalled the experience of chasing a Cossack team in Mongolia last year.

After killing the Cossack squad, Jiang Yiwu found the body of a Russian cavalry captain from the opponent's secret camp.Out of hatred for the Cossack cavalry, he subconsciously wanted to get some souvenirs from him.

This includes the opponent's cavalry regiment badge, unit number and regiment name must also be clear, and there is also a photo on the captain's body.

Although it is a black-and-white photo, the appearance of the captain's wife amazes everyone who has seen it.

"I just said, why does this woman look familiar? It turns out that I have seen her a long time ago, and I personally killed her ex-husband. Now she herself... has come to her door from a thousand miles away."

Through the glass window, Kabayeva glanced out again.It felt different from just now. She seemed to be a weak prey being targeted by a hunter, and her heartbeat was inexplicably faster.

The burly head nurse was still talking next to him, "This Chinese man is not bad. He is also an officer with a good salary. During the war, the status of soldiers is also high, and military members are given preferential treatment.

Now more and more people are fleeing from Europe to the Far East, and there are not one or two women who want to marry him.I advise you not to hesitate, get married.It can also help our hospital to get more benefits and medicines.Not bad. "

Chapter 76 Restless

Although Kabaeva's personal experience is bizarre, it is only a small splash under the tide of the times.At most, after a few years, Cheka's early files were made public, and her name could be found in a pile of dispatch personnel lists.

It is more likely that there are no files left in the chaos.

Unless the person concerned left a memoir, no one knows why a Slavic woman came to Ulan-Ude from St. Petersburg during the war and ended up marrying a Wehrmacht major officer.

Ulan-Ude belongs to seasonal frozen soil. In summer, the ground muddy is extremely serious, and the roads become rotten mud ponds.Let alone combat, it is simply impossible to pass.

When Jiang Yiwu boldly proposed, the army simply gave the groom three months off.The head of the division jokingly asked him to work hard to make the bride's belly bigger before the holiday ended.

Zhou Qingfeng was patrolling in northern Xinjiang, and happened to see the wedding notice published in the local newspaper, as well as the blessings sent to the couple by the newly established Northern Xinjiang Autonomous Region.

Behind this marriage is that China has greatly strengthened its control over the northern Xinjiang region for more than a year. It was the National Defense Forces that overthrew the reactionary Tsarist Russian government, liberated the local residents, and obtained the legal right to rule.

This is the last window period for China to conquer its homeland.

Once the "cloth" of the Russian Communist Party reaches out, the local Russians will not be so obedient.And controlling northern Xinjiang is too important to China, because it is one of the best grain-producing areas in East Asia.

'Later generations' Heilongjiang's grain production accounts for one-ninth of the country's total. There are large flat farmlands suitable for mechanized farming, and the cost of growing grain is very low.

The northern border area is several times larger than that of Heilongjiang, and the area of ​​cultivated land is at least doubled.This is of great significance to ensuring national food security.

To control northern Xinjiang and cut off Russia's black hand extending to the Pacific Ocean, China's territorial waters will expand to the Arctic Ocean.If we can take advantage of the civil strife in the United States to take Alaska further, it will be much easier to launch nuclear warheads towards North America in the future.

In order to achieve this goal, national integration is the only way to go.

For thousands of years, the Han nationality expanded from a small piece of land in Henan, and occupied the land most suitable for human habitation in the East Asian continent through farming and warfare.Now it also has a large enough population to dilute the surrounding ethnic groups by means of intermarriage.

The whole world is watching the policies implemented by China.

In Manhattan, New York, the old Rockefeller invited several friends from the consortium to play cards at his home, and chatted about the current world situation while relaxing with tobacco and alcohol.

As the head of the Mellon Consortium, Andrew Mellon threw down his cards and said to the smart and powerful friends at the table in a self-deprecating tone: "How did we get to this pitiful situation?"

'Current' is a heavy word.

The economic crisis that broke out in the stock market has spread to the whole United States, causing numerous bankruptcies and tragedies in the past year.The Mellon consortium mainly operates banks and faces a large amount of bad debts.

Immigration plummeted as jobs fell.In North America, there is even an outflow of population that is rare in a century, and an outflow of millions of talents.They either returned to Europe, or went to East Asia.

The economy is bad and the politics are worse.

The military government of the 'Brotherhood' forced its way to power, turning the small-government American society into a centralized system.In order to gain power, Marco publicly advocated 'one country, one nation, one head of state, one voice'.

The dramatic reversal has brought about fierce social conflicts, and the people have become fearful and disgusted with the government.However, in order to avoid bankruptcy, the consortium had to accept the military industry orders sent by the military government and expressed support for them.

This bizarre combination has worked to contain the economic crisis and restore jobs and social stability.But the consortium has also been shackled, from 'do whatever they want' to 'restricted', it is difficult to reproduce the lawlessness of the past.

After carefully studying the changes in the United States, Kaiser Bazel I laughed and said: "Isn't this the same as Germany after Hitler came to power? Facing the economic crisis, relying on state power to issue loans and forcefully promote industry and the economy.

But there is no hot war in Europe, and orders only come from the army and the government.If it loses the support of the broad market, the public will still not benefit.This development will inevitably lead to militarism in the end, and it will inevitably lead to external expansion. "

The American consortium felt more and more awkward, but there was nothing they could do.

Andrew Mellon dropped his cards, and John Morgan of the Morgan consortium was not interested in playing.The latter had a gloomy face and said seriously: "If China and Britain really attack from the east and west, can the United States hold it?"

This is an argument repeatedly propagated by the military government, and there is a lot of corroboration.

For example, the British Navy is stepping up preparations for war, and Canada has formed an army of more than 150 million soldiers and equipped a large number of tanks and bombers.But the United Kingdom stated that it was to overthrow the dictator Marcus and save the United States.

For Americans, neither Marcos nor Great Britain is wanted.But they don't have a choice.

In the past, the American media has always promoted that the people have the right to resist the government, but the reality is that the media has no independence at all, and has become the mouthpiece of the military government in the blink of an eye.

The consortiums are well aware that the current situation is by no means as simple as advertised.The old Rockefeller gathered his friends together to discuss in private how to deal with it together.

When asked about the war, McCormick from the Chicago Consortium lightly tapped on the table and said in a low voice: "I asked my friends in the Navy, and they are very nervous now. Because China and Britain are really preparing for war, it is definitely not a joke. .

The U.S. Navy is powerful, but fighting on two fronts brings great trouble.If the fleet is divided equally between the east and west coasts, it is likely to be easily destroyed by the opponent.

Ladies and gentlemen, please note that the British navy is likely to be feinting in the North Atlantic.

Because the British mainland fleet can pass through the Arctic Ocean in summer at any time, cross the Bering Strait and enter the Pacific Ocean.It only takes 12 to 15 days.

It also takes 8 to 10 days for the U.S. Navy to transfer from the east coast to the west coast through the Panama Canal, or reverse maneuver.

Now General Stimson of the Admiralty is very anxious, because he can't figure out which direction the opponent will come from, so he can only arrange the fleet separately. "

The leaders of the consortium present here are old and cunning people who never believe in friendship and justice.They have come to accept that war is inevitable, and the only headache is how to deal with it.

It stands to reason that Americans should love the United States, but while various consortiums are taking government orders to manufacture large-scale arms and equipment, they also hate the dictator Marco Shi extremely.

In addition, Britain pulled France to announce sanctions against the American dictatorship, prohibiting its products from entering the markets of Britain, France and its colonies.China, the largest overseas market for the United States, has also become vacillating.

Britain stated that it could provide all products and financial services that the United States could provide, and demanded to cut off trade between China and the United States.This will be like a shackle that will completely collapse the US economy.

China has not yet agreed to the United Kingdom, only asking Britain and France to deliver the "soaked battleship" as soon as possible.However, they are very interested in China, Britain, France and Germany's oil currency, hoping to get it done before the US collapses.

Because without the common enemy of the United States, the extremely repellent petrocurrency would not be so easy to promote.

In short, the pace of war is getting closer and closer, and the possibility of the United States fighting against the whole world alone and winning is too small.Its consortium had to consider another way to survive...

"I have directly asked Chinese diplomats whether China really wants to join forces with Britain." The old Rockefeller said: "The other party said that it is impossible to know this kind of top-level decision-making, but they also frankly suggested 'don't put eggs in one basket'. "

The Rockefeller Consortium was the first American consortium to establish commercial ties with China, and it has close mutual trust with China.The advice that the old Rockefeller received seemed vague, but it was already obvious.

"My son is currently in China, and I hope to get a guarantee from the Chinese leadership." The old Rockefeller continued: "The Chinese side said that if any unstoppable disaster happens, the investment of the Rockefeller family in China will also be protected."

This is really the latest news. The leaders of the consortium at the poker table were all taken aback, and then they scolded the old Rockefeller for being too cunning—wouldn’t it be a hedging bet to send his son to China at this juncture, a sure win?

China implements financial controls and maintains a high degree of repression against consortiums.Its private economy is extremely weak, heavy industry and infrastructure are all built with state investment, and the land is state-owned, leaving no room for foreign capital to stir up trouble.

But the speed of China's economic development has made European and American consortiums extremely envious.The Rockefeller consortium made a lot of money from investing in China, which drove other consortiums to try to develop in China.

At present, China's society is stable, and its policies are consistent. President Xiao Jinlang will serve a third term, and he is still very friendly to foreign investment.

The Rockefeller family clearly wants to diversify their investments and risks—Daying can change homes, and so can the consortium.Capital has no borders or motherland.

The old Rockefeller obviously hoped that the various consortiums would take joint action, make good use of their financial and technical advantages, advance together and retreat together, not only against the 'Brotherhood' junta, but also to reserve living space for possible wars.

Obviously, this proposal aroused great interest from several consortium leaders.Instead, they began discussing details, such as how the transfer of funds could avoid the supervision of the US Treasury Department and the Internal Revenue Service.

At the same time, Marcos, who controls the whole of the United States, is standing at the Newport News Shipyard in Virginia, wearing a hard hat and looking up at the "Enterprise" aircraft carrier under construction in the No. [-] dock of the shipyard.

This is a main fleet aircraft carrier with a displacement of [-] tons. The hull is tall and majestic, and it is about to be launched into the water for outfitting.According to the original plan, it will officially serve in two years and join the US Navy.

"But I can't wait now." Marco Shi sighed in the shipyard, "The damn British guy may kill him at any time, it is impossible to give me another two years."

The navies of various countries are under construction, but the only ships that can be used are the ships that have been used proficiently before the war.Marcos stayed in the shipyard for less than half an hour before leaving, and turned to the not-too-distant Norfolk Naval Base.

The main force of the US Atlantic Fleet is docked in the base. It is the home port of six 3-ton ultra-dreadnought ships and five large fleet aircraft carriers. It is also an important hub against the British Navy.

The strategy of the U.S. Navy also tends to deploy the main force on the east coast to ensure that the essence of the east coast is protected from British naval aviation.

However, an incident that happened not long ago greatly stimulated Marco Shi—a task force composed of two aircraft carriers of the Sino-Japanese Joint Fleet suddenly swaggered in South America, deterring several local countries to ensure the safety of Chinese immigrants.

Starting from Taiwan, the fleet crossed nearly [-] kilometers of waters and took nearly a month.It didn't alarm anyone, and it appeared in America's backyard without warning.

This kind of ocean-going military operation that leaves the port and relies entirely on its own supply ships to provide logistical support is extremely deterrent and sudden, indicating that China has the ability to bypass Guam, Wake Island, Hawaii and other places to launch attacks on the west coast of the United States.

Its significance is no less than that of the US "Great White Fleet" sailing around the world to deter little Japan.

Knowing that China's move must have deep meaning, but Marco Shi was agitated by it, and a crazy idea popped up in his mind-should we solve the Chinese navy before the decisive battle with Britain?

Chapter 77

Crazy ideas can't be contained once they pop up.

The reason why Marcos inspected the Norfolk Naval Base was to know whether the U.S. Navy has the ability to deal with military challenges from the east and the west at the same time.

When this question was handed over to Ernest King, Assistant Chief of Staff of the Atlantic Fleet who accompanied him on the tour.The 'future' commander-in-chief of the U.S. Navy asked in surprise: "Your Excellency, why are you worried about the Chinese Navy?"

Facing the waves of the port under the blue sea and clear sky, and the giant warship docked on the pier, the assistant chief of staff said proudly, "We are not afraid of any opponent, even the British mainland fleet."

In front of the 3-ton super dreadnought, individuals are like ants walking in the dust.Marco was walking by the trestle bridge of the base, and when he looked up, he could see the 'Wisconsin' which was undergoing regular maintenance.

The first "Wisconsin" was built in 1897. It was a 330-ton pre-dreadnought ship equipped with four single-barreled [-]mm main guns. It participated in the "Great White Fleet"'s global voyage—it was eliminated after serving Turtle Speed ​​Iron King Eight.

The old Roosevelt's "Great White Fleet" is a thing of the past. The sixteen ironclad ships that once flamboyantly served in service for only ten years were all deregistered and sent to the "Battleship Grave" of the Philadelphia Shipyard to be sealed up and await dismantling.

But so what?

The industrial manufacturing capabilities of the United States can ignore such losses and quickly produce a large number of warships across the ages.

This is the second ship 'Wisconsin', the new pride of the US Navy.Regardless of speed, armor, and artillery, it is no worse than the latest "Revenge" class of the British Navy.

Ernest King's pride is not aimless, but has real capital.He also added, "Your Excellency, are you worried that China will take over those war-damaged and repaired ships in Europe?

I myself have often visited the British Navy on account of my duties.The warships they sell to China are not the latest warships, and the performance is definitely not as good as our current main equipment.

In addition, China's national strength is less than one-fifth of that of the United States. It is not an opponent of the United States at all, and it cannot afford to fight for consumption.We don't need to be too nervous about its military growth. "

Ten years ago, the U.S. economy was already the largest in the world, and its national strength was booming.

Ernest King also complimented Marcus, saying that during his previous term, the U.S. economy developed extremely rapidly and ushered in incredible prosperity.

The United States is so strong that it doesn't even know where the upper limit is.But Ma Keshi didn't like it very much... Don't talk about China's economy, anyone will be overshadowed by it.

At the beginning of the [-]th century, China's national power was less than one percent of that of the United States.Its steel production is close to zero.

It's good now. In less than ten years, the steel output of the United States has more than doubled, and that of China has doubled by a hundred times. mines and factories.

If you want to do some high-tech in a hundred years, you have to get a Ph. D. at the beginning.But the current level of technology is relatively low, even a high school student can make some new inventions.

Regarding the optimism of the assistant chief of staff, Marco shook his head and said in a deep voice: "According to reports collected and investigated by diplomats, China has had a large number of junior graduates entering factories since two years ago, and the number is calculated in millions.

These graduates have basically received five years of primary school and two years of junior high school education. They already have modern scientific concepts and ways of thinking and will become the backbone of industrial development.

In addition, the number of university students in China has grown from a mere few thousand ten years ago to more than 20, and most of them are in science and engineering.Can you imagine that in another ten or twenty years, they will be able to graduate millions of college students every year? "

Millions of colleges...and every year?

Ernest King couldn't help trembling between his two thighs, and finally realized the deep meaning in the President's words in silence.

The current population of the United States is only 20 million, and most of the population increase is due to immigrants from Europe in the past [-] years, and they basically cannot get along in their original places and have to go to the United States to seek food and settle down.

Compared with the Chinese, the immigrant-dominated United States does not pay enough attention to education.

The media has long discovered that no matter how poor their parents are, Chinese people in the United States will try their best to educate the next generation.However, most of their own bottom-level children are freed, and there are a lot of illiterate people in society.

Everything in the United States is good, except education and medical care are too expensive.

This is almost a chronic disease engraved in American culture. The tradition of small government, everything is solved by business models, and there will be no solution in another 100 years.

"Do you know how many Chinese students there are in our university? More than [-]." Ma Keshi said bitterly, "In some majors, more than half of the students are from China, and after graduation, unless they have the opportunity to study, they have to return to China.

I asked the Secretary of State to do a survey. There are two types of education in China, general education and elite education.The top students who can get the opportunity to study in the United States are basically top students. Everyone is very smart and can learn everything very quickly.

If China is not contained, the future world will not have the development opportunities of the United States.I keep promoting the Sino-British alliance, which is by no means alarmist. "

The question goes back to the beginning, can the U.S. Navy launch a surprise attack on the Chinese Navy and cut off its ability to threaten the United States?

Ernest King pondered for a moment but shook his head, "It's difficult. The Pacific Ocean is too big. Traveling thousands of nautical miles to find a certain fleet is tantamount to finding the way for a blind man."

"Last month, the Chinese navy suddenly appeared in South America. There is no reason why we can't suddenly appear in East Asia." Marco Shi still insisted on his own ideas.
