At the end of the foothills of Xiaoxishan Mountain on the east of the Xishan Ministry of National Defense in Beijing, there is a three-story European-style villa with a wide area. The walls outside the villa are surrounded by barbed wire, but there is no sign inside or outside. The beautiful scenery around and the spacious interior garden make people feel that this is the private villa of a wealthy man, but in fact it is one of the largest and most confidential departments in the Republic of China, the State Administration of Strategic Intelligence.

This is a very complex and sophisticated department, directly under the leadership of the Presidential Office and the General Staff. How many people do it have, how it operates, and how many institutions it has, even the Congress and the Prime Minister's Office have no right to interfere. The funds it consumes every year are equivalent to the sum of the National Security Agency and the Military Intelligence Agency.

Compared with his colleagues who were dressed in a straight and serious manner, Gu Yuwen, with a messy head, sat in the office like a desolate chicken, with a short stature, wrinkled coat and bloodshot eyes. The two telephones, one red and one black, were filled with messy documents, each document was filled with dense numbers and formulas. After completing the US mission, he was absorbed into the Economic Department of the Strategic Intelligence Agency. This department is different from other departments. He is experts in mathematics and economics. He mainly works through economic data obtained through external and confidential channels, analyzes the economic and strategic trends of various countries, and then submits it to the President and General Staff for reference.

From tracking the economic crisis in capitalist countries, to the first five-year plan of the Soviet Union, to the recent Great Famine in Ukraine... all economic-related information will be given priority here for analysis. With Roosevelt taking office, keeping a close eye on the US economy has become a top priority.

"Section Chief, this is just received." The girl with short hair and uniform walked to the table crisply, looked at the messy desk and burst into laughter. She placed the new documents in front of Gu Yuwen and began to organize the table for him, muttering: "You always do this, can't you clean up?"

The girl's name is Yao Hong. She joined the Intelligence Bureau as the Secretary of the Economic Department two years ago. Because of her sweet appearance, she was pursued by many male colleagues. But the little girl has a special liking for Gu Yuwen, who has the nickname "Gu Daizi". But Gu Daizi had no feelings. Looking at the new information pressed in front of her, she was even confused: "What is this?"

Yao Hong was surprised, and there was no trace of loss on her face. She cleaned up the table and said, "It was a message sent by Haihua Company." Haihua Company's predecessor was the Americas Zhigongtang. After the rapid rise of Guoshe, Yang Qiu used Miao Luo's relationship to carry out major reforms to Zhigongtang. Some of them became the backbone of Guoshe's overseas forces. The other part was incorporated into Haihua Company. Even Zhuang Meisheng, who is currently the chairman of the West Borneo China-Dutch Free Trade Zone, is a member of Haihua Company.

The State Administration of Strategic Intelligence is mainly responsible for the strategic intelligence analysis of various countries and urgently needs offshore forces, so naturally there is no unique opportunity. After twenty years of hard work, the power of Zhigongtang will gradually be used to spread the tentacles around the world. The current Haihua Company is only a branch of the Strategic Intelligence Bureau, mainly relying on them to obtain economic intelligence and use money and other means to control foreigners.

Gu Yuwen is not a novice, and of course he knows that Haihua Company is the main source of information for his department. So he immediately checked the documents. Yao Hong also took advantage of the opportunity to clean up the table and introduced the contents inside: "Most of them were transferred from the New York station. The first piece of news about the Jewish people named Old Gilbert. He said that during this period, the economic advisers under Roosevelt frequently visited Morgan and other families and asked about gold reserves one after another. Old Gilbert said that there was a big rumor in the Jewish consortium that it is said that the US government has obtained overseas orders worth $6.5 billion. President Roosevelt is preparing to hand over all the orders to them."

"A US$6.5 billion order... has the US economic recovery plan been announced?" Gu Yuwen was shocked by this number. It was not that the amount was too large, but that he had not received any plans for the US economic recovery plan before. Since the plan has not even been released, the US government has received such a large order.

"No, the intelligence is still in a dilemma, mainly because the price of gold is rising, and bank lending has completely lost its credit value, and it is necessary to control the gold and silver prices to restore the reputation of the financial industry. But there is one thing that is certain. 500 million US dollars of this order comes from Asia!" Yao Hong is worthy of being the secretary of the Economic Section of the Strategic Intelligence Agency. He talks about economic problems and even his pretty face becomes serious. He continues to introduce: "The Foreign Affairs Department also monitors that the Mississippi Pigment Factory has been frequently started recently, and the inlet and exit of US soldiers and vehicles has doubled compared to usual."

Yao Hong's introduction made Gu Yuwen feel something was wrong. The Mississippi Pigment Factory is a designated ink manufacturer for printing in US dollar. It has tight defense and cannot penetrate. Therefore, the intelligence department uses the analysis of the movements in and out. Although this cannot be 100% accurate, the more special personnel enter and exit, the more money printing materials are pulled and transported away. But this is not the main thing. The fundamental reason for this round of economic crisis is the contradiction between market and deflation. Turning on the printing press is something that every country must do. As long as the gold and silver prices are straightened out, there is no problem. The real problem is that Roosevelt's economic recovery plan has not been issued yet. Where did he get the order without Congress review? And it is an overseas order! Such a large number, even China and the Soviet Union may not be able to eat it all in one breath. How could it be sold to the Jewish family? What was Roosevelt's idea for this order? Five hundred million has definitely come from Asia...

"I've suffered!"

Thinking of this, Gu Yuwen's face suddenly changed, and he grabbed Yao Hong's hand and asked, "Where is the director?"

The pain on the back of his hand made the girl stunned and said quickly: "Go to Tianjin to accompany the president to receive the US Secretary of State." "Hurry, call them to prepare a car! I'm going to Tianjin soon." Gu Yuwen grabbed the documents and ran out without saying a word. When he passed by, he almost hit the girl.

When Yao Hong endured the pain on her shoulder and picked up the phone, the Gu Daizi at the door reacted and shouted, "I'm sorry, I... I'm too anxious." "No..." Yao Hong was about to say it was okay, but he could no longer see him at the door. He didn't know what he remembered, and he smiled slightly and picked up the phone.

.........

The US Secretary of State is here. Many people have forgotten that this is the first visiting US Secretary of State, but no one has ever used China as the second stop for his visit to Asia like him. This subtle change has made the European and American ambassadors and journalists smell a strange thing, and also made the future situation in the Far East even more confusing. But no one knows that in fact, the two tough politicians separated by the vast Pacific have made choices and have quietly completed the first fight.

Although Heder took Japan as his first stop, Yang Qiu still gave him a high reception scale, went to Tianjin in person and opened the Beijing-Tianjin experimental high-speed railway project under construction to him. Under the scorching sun, technicians were directing workers to lay steel rails. The rail laying accuracy requirements for high-speed railways were very high, and the entire railway was completely isolated from the outside with barbed wire.

High-speed railways are a new technology developed by Europe and the United States. Among them, the best are Italy and France. In order to catch up with the world's footsteps, the Beijing-Tianjin Experimental High-speed Railway project was built in 1931. It is preparing to use a domestic high-power diesel internal combustion engine and use a streamlined six-carriage marshaling. The design speed is expected to reach 220 kilometers per hour. It is not surprising as an experimental railway, but it can be seen that after 20 years of high-speed construction, China's industry's determination and courage to transform from quantity to quality. This surprised Heddle, who came to the Far East for the first time and the American officials and journalists who accompanied him, kept recording this railway that embodies the determination of the Chinese to catch up with the world with speed.

The engineers introduced various details of the railway construction to Heddle and Yang Qiu with excitement. The reporters gathered around and kept taking pictures of the two walking side by side on the railway tracks to negotiate with each other. This lively scene made people seem to have forgotten the purpose of Heddle's trip. Only Chen Haohui in the distance was sitting in a wheelchair, not interested in this false excitement, but looked at Heddle's back with thoughtful thoughts.

"Director."

A shout interrupted his thoughts, and Gu Yuwen hurriedly jumped out of a black car and walked towards him. Chen Haohui liked this young man who was very good at economics. Seeing that he had always been dull, he frowned suddenly and asked directly: "What's the matter?" Although Gu Yuwen was anxious, he knew that there were many people here, so he pushed Chen Haohui back into the car and asked several intelligence partners to block their sight before he told the information he received.

"500 million US dollars, Asia?!" Chen Haohui was also shocked by this number. Five hundred million US dollars is not a small amount. You should know that the total amount invested in Saudi Arabia in the Republic of China was only 3 billion US dollars. If it was used to build battleships, it could build as many as 12 ships! The most surprising thing was that this order actually came from Asia! It is definitely impossible for domestic companies to buy large foreign orders in the past few years. There were only a few countries in Asia that could take such a large order, except for the Republic of China... Japan!

"Before I came out, I ordered the verification of accuracy at any cost. If the United States really provided Japan with a secret loan of 500 million US dollars, then Japan's recovery speed would probably be much faster than we expected. Japan must have reached some secret agreements that we cannot know! On the other hand, it also shows that Roosevelt's economic recovery plan has actually begun. He deliberately bypassed Congress and used the credit of the US government as collateral to let Morgan and other consortiums come forward to grab overseas orders at any cost. According to my estimate, the money is likely to be distributed to Japan, Germany and the Soviet Union. Because these three countries are the countries that the United States is most likely to support. In addition, I suspect that Morgan and others must have made a deal with Roosevelt, otherwise it would not be possible to obtain such a large single offshore contract. In my opinion, the United States is likely to take action on gold! It is not ruled out that Roosevelt will ask the American consortium, Japan and the Soviet Union to jointly calm the price of US gold...."

"Providing funds that can build 12 battleships, and using this to allow Japan and the Soviet Union to take action to calm the gold price in the United States?!" Even if he didn't understand the economy, Chen Haohui felt a chill in his heart. If this is true... Roosevelt's calculation ability is probably not inferior to Yang Qiu at all!
Chapter completed!
