"This is the instruction of the Communist International. We can only abide by it now, unless..." Zhou Enlai sighed. Support the Trotskyites to fight the Soviet Union to the end.If this happens, the CCP will be able to win the space for survival and development in the confrontation between the Soviet Union and the Kuomintang.
……
"This Bukharin, how could it be him?"
In the study room, Luo Yaoguo opened the window, and a cool breeze wafted from the East Lake outside, dispelling the stuffy heat in the room, but it couldn't dispel the restlessness in his heart.The war between the Trotskyites and the CCP did not go as smoothly as expected. The CCP seems to be very aware of the importance of Chahar, and has been defending it with heavy troops, firmly blocking the Trotskyites from going south.The Trotskyist alliance army that won the "Lindian-Zhaodong Battle" did not seize the rare opportunity to capture Harbin and bring Heilongjiang under its rule, but chose to return to Qiqihar to rest.It seemed that Lin Yurong's deployment of troops was a little more conservative, but it was no wonder that they were fighting alone and lacked smooth logistical supplies, so they had to deal with it carefully.
But what makes Luo Yaoguo even more troublesome is the attitude of the Soviet Union. During this period, the Soviet Union's attitude towards China suddenly took a 180-degree turn. And economic aid, you can urge them to abandon the line of armed separatism and military confrontation with the national government, and participate in the process of democratic constitutionalism in China!
As for the conditions... Didn't you send a man named Bukharin to China to negotiate the salvage and repair of the three warships that sank in Dagukou, Tianjin?Moreover, he also asked Chiang Kai-shek or Luo Yaoguo to discuss business with Bukharin by name. Obviously, this business is a bit big, not just the salvage and repair of three warships.
At present, the National Government and the Soviet Union have not established diplomatic relations, and the two sides have very few contact channels, and the relationship is cold and tight. Under such circumstances, it is reasonable to use this "business" to carry out some diplomatic negotiations, but this The special envoy sent by Stalin was somewhat unusual.
This Nikolai Bukharin is a classic among traitors in another time and space!Well, because of that "Lenin in 1918" movie, he became a popular traitor character in the entire socialist camp.Even some soul from the capitalist camp knows such a person.Moreover, in this time and space, Luo Yaoguo had seen the living Bukharin with his own eyes, and knew that he was the head of the Communist International, but he was defeated by Stalin last year because he opposed the collectivization of agriculture.But now that Stalin has reactivated him, is it to forgive him?Stalin doesn't seem to like to forgive people very much, does he?
Natalie, who came to report the news to him, also frowned, and reminded: "Fu Wen, I guess Stalin is using a strategy of delaying the attack, trying to buy time for the CCP to eliminate the Brett army?"
"I know." Luo Yaoguo nodded: "But the problem is that the KMT is not in my hands alone, and the conditions offered by the Soviet Union are indeed attractive, and the other leaders in the presidium may find it difficult to refuse."
"In fact, the tempting conditions offered by Stalin just show that our support for Trotsky has identified the dead spot of the Soviet Union and Stalin. We should not be fooled by the petty profits in front of us, and because of Stalin's personality, we will not be deceived afterwards. I will definitely go back on my word. At that time, who shall we talk to for reasoning?" Natalie said after thinking for a while.
Luo Yaoguo remained silent, Stalin was indeed without credibility, the Kuomintang had suffered enough from him in history, and in this time and space, the same mistakes cannot be repeated.But because of this, I have to control this negotiation even more.Thinking of this, he sneered and said, "Natalie, call Chiang Kai-shek's office and say that I hope to be in charge of the negotiations with Bukharin, and Chiang Kai-shek will sign the armistice agreement with the Japanese."
"Hehe, this is a great advantage for Chiang Kai-shek. The armistice agreement to open up the territory is a big prize!" Natalie sighed quietly, muttered a few words, and turned her head to hang up the phone to Chiang Kai-shek's office.
The truce negotiations with the Japanese finally reached an agreement after more than a month of negotiations. The truce conditions are very simple, and there are only two conditions. One is that the two sides realize the truce based on the existing control area;Regarding the sovereignty of Taiwan and Penghu, the ownership of Kantung Prefecture, war reparations, repatriation of war criminals (traitors) and other issues, they all avoided talking about them.However, since all disputed territories including Taiwan, Penghu, and Kantung Prefecture are controlled by China, the armistice agreement can still be regarded as a major diplomatic victory for China.The parties who signed this agreement will naturally be famous in history. Originally, this honor belonged to Luo Yaoguo, but now he gave this honor to Chiang Kai-shek in order to get the opportunity to preside over the secret negotiations with Soviet Russia.
……
Because the warship salvage and repair deal was to be used as a cover, the place of negotiation with Bukharin was placed in the huge Zhanjiang naval base. The huge military port of Rangstad Port was extremely shocking.
Although he heard about the rise of imperialism in China, although China defeated Japan in twos and regained Taiwan, and almost wiped out the Japanese navy that once dominated the East, it was not until he saw this huge military port with his own eyes, and saw that it was parked in the military port. The Chinese Nanyang Fleet really realized that the Soviet Union's backyard was no longer safe.
The 32-year-old Chinese marshal in front of him was a poor oriental revolutionary who ran to Moscow to beg for aid less than ten years ago, but now he is the chief of staff of the world's third largest army and the world's third largest navy up!According to the assessment reports issued by the British War Office and the Admiralty, the Chinese imperialist armies rank behind France and Italy, while their navies rank behind Britain and the United States.No matter whether these two reports are credible or not, the military strength of this country is probably higher than that of the Soviet Union!
At this moment, he couldn't help worrying about the comrades in the CCP. With their small Red Army, can they defeat the third most powerful army and navy in the world?The answer is obvious, unless there is an imperialist hegemony war like the World War, and China is precisely the losing side, just like Tsarist Russia and Germany at that time, because of the unfavorable situation on the battlefield and the collapse of the economy, domestic revolutions are triggered.It’s just that Comrade Stalin believes that the next world war is likely to be a joint attack on the Soviet Union by Chinese imperialism, Polish imperialism, and other imperialism!
It is a pity that although Bukharin disagreed with most of Stalin's views, he and Stalin completely agreed on the view that the next world war will break out between imperialism and the Soviet Union!That's why he agreed to travel thousands of miles here to buy more time for the Soviet Union. The development and strength of the Soviet Union takes time, and the Trotskyites cannot be allowed to spoil the situation!
Nikolai Ivanovich Bukharin straightened his waist again and resumed his demeanor of world revolution No.1 (the leading brother of the Comintern), and suddenly asked: "Your Excellency, Marshal, I don't know what you think about what happened in the What do you think of the civil war between the CCP and the Trotskyists in the north of your country?"
Unexpectedly, this bald-headed, well-educated former boss of the Comintern did not discuss the three warships that sank outside the mouth of Dagu in Tianjin, but directly jumped to the issue of the Trotskyites and the CCP. Obviously, what the Soviet Union really cares about now It was still these armed Trotskyites in China, so Luo Yaoguo said hastily: "Dear Comrade Bukharin, I will lodge the strongest protest to the Soviet government about this civil war taking place on our territory! The CCP’s military assistance is to promote its early end to its civil war policy and return to the correct path of peaceful reunification!”
Luo Yaoguo smiled coldly and looked at Bukharin's frown: "In addition, I would like to remind the Soviet Union that your country's support and intervention in other countries' civil wars can be regarded as an act of war! A war of military powers!"
"For this reason, we in China can certainly reserve the right to take corresponding retaliatory actions!"
When Luo Yaoguo uttered these last words, Bukharin already felt how difficult this mission was!China is already an imperialist country, and what's more troublesome is that their military strength is still very strong!And their bayonets were pointed at the soft underbelly of the Soviet Union.Anyone who has a little knowledge of the military knows that it is impossible for the Soviet Union to deploy a large army on the Sino-Soviet border that is thousands of kilometers long while defending against the main threat from the West. of!
Therefore, it is actually impossible for the Soviet Union to give up its support for the CCP. Only they can contain the energy and military power of the new East Asian overlord and win precious time for the development and construction of the Soviet Union.
But the problem is that the Soviet Union will now face the same trouble. Once Trotsky arrives in Mongolia and begins to support and direct his supporters to launch armed uprisings or terrorist activities in the Soviet Union, the Soviet Union will have to take her The main energy is used to stabilize the interior, I am afraid that there will be no strength to carry out the second five-year plan!
And to make China give up its support for the Trotskyites, at least the Soviet Union must give up its support for the CCP... But Bukharin knew very well that this is impossible!Because there is no mutual trust between China and the Soviet Union, although Menzhinsky did not tell him clearly, Bukharin still understood Stalin's true intention from the very beginning—he came to China only to deceive the Chinese imperialists. You have to deceive the world's number one liar in front of you!
Thinking of this, Bukharin quickly smiled and said: "Marshal, your request to the Soviet government is completely understandable, and this is also the main task of my visit to China. Our Soviet Union has held the most friendly attitude towards China since the Lenin era. We sincerely want to help China, and our help to the Chinese Communist Party is also for this purpose. But we also hope that our friendship can be rewarded in the same way, and China should not support Trotskyites’ conspiracy against the Soviet Union.”
"Hehe, this Bukharin is beginning to deceive! Look at his honest appearance and sincere expression. If he hadn't known in advance that you are always an untrustworthy traitor through "Lenin in 1918", maybe I would have really I fell into the trap of a traitor..." Luo Yaoguo sarcastically sneered at Bukharin in front of him in his heart, but he still smiled the most sincere smile of a diplomat. For people, there is no small attraction. This group of short-sighted and unambitious guys have no ambitions for the Soviet Union. Nanyang is drooling.This is also an important reason why Luo Yaoguo decided to support Trotsky. He needed a tool to constantly destroy Sino-Soviet relations and keep beating Stalin's anger. Only in this way can China and the Soviet Union completely break up and go to war!But right now, he still has to be careful about the "goodwill" thrown out by the Soviet Union.
So Luo Yaoguo immediately said: "Comrade Bukharin, our national government has never supported Trotsky, and we don't know any conspiracy against the Soviet Union. I think you should know where these Trotskyists in China come from." ?They split from the Communist Party, not from our Kuomintang. It is your country that should be responsible for the ongoing civil war in the Manchurian and Mongolian regions of our country. As long as your country no longer provides military aid to the CCP, our Nationalist government We will be able to resolve the issue of national unity through peaceful negotiations, and then there will be no Trotskyist forces on our territory.”
Bukharin was taken aback. From Luo Yaoguo's answer, he found that the KMT did not intend to solve the CCP by force, and that peaceful reunification seemed to be their first choice.Moreover, the Kuomintang puts the Trotskyites in the same position as the CCP, and it must be resolved through peaceful reunification.
If the other party's thinking is really like this, then he may hope to achieve some results in this trip to China, and Bukharin's mood suddenly became uneasy.
"Your Excellency, Marshal, but I heard the news that the intelligence department of your national government is preparing to send Trotsky to Mongolia, and will also provide funding for his conspiracy!" Speaking of which, he intentionally or unintentionally glanced aside Natalie was busy recording the content of the conversation.Bukharin knew this woman, and such a beautiful woman always makes a deep impression.He also knew that this woman had been a member of Dzerzhinsky's "Polish gang" and a dangerous Trotskyist!And now this woman has become the most influential person to Luo Yaoguo.In front of Dzerzhinsky's favorite student, his own set of lying and deceiving skills is probably...
"Comrade Bukharin." Luo Yaoguo pulled Bukharin out of his thoughts with an unrecognizable voice, and said calmly, "We have no intention of participating in your communist disputes, nor do we intend to interfere with you. The internal affairs of the Soviet Union... But this has a premise, that is, we do not want to continue this ridiculous civil war on our territory, and the differences between you Stalin and Trotsky should not be resolved with the blood of the Chinese. We demand that the CCP immediately stop its military offensive against the Trotskyists, lift the military blockade against Mongolia, and then resolve the issue of national reunification through negotiations. After the reunification of the country, our national government will naturally not allow any people belonging to the country other than the national army to exist in the jurisdiction. Private or partisan armies exist."
Chapter 0621: The weakness of the Soviet Union
A car flew past Xiao Yuhan quickly, startling him who was full of thoughts. Although Shanghai in early June has entered the nasty wet rainy season, the commercial prosperity driven by a large number of infrastructure constructions across the country still makes the city more vibrant.All factories are expanding their production capacity, and what is most lacking now are workers who have received a certain amount of education and can master various new production skills in a short period of time.Obviously, this kind of prosperity driven by massive government investment has made China the first to emerge from this worldwide economic depression, although there are still many domestic and foreign economists who are worried about predicting that this This kind of man-made prosperity is bound to be unsustainable, and when the motivation for government investment is exhausted, there will be a more violent recession!However, some people believe that the land reform being promoted by the national government will definitely activate China's vast rural market, and that rural demand will naturally replace the government as a strong driving force for the economy!
However, Colonel Xiao Yuhan did not have these problems in his mind at all. As a senior civil servant of the Nationalist Government, his standard of living would not be affected by whether the economy was good or bad.What he cared about was the stability of the entire regime and the future of the country—it sounded far away, but to him, the backbone of Sun Xuexue and the confidant secretary-general of Marshal Luo Yaoguo, the fate of the country seemed not too far away.This time, he was ordered by Lieutenant Colonel Natalie, Luo Yaoguo's secretary, to come to Shanghai to take charge of a major event related to the country's future!Uh, the secretary of the lieutenant colonel gives orders to the secretary of the colonel!This matter seems to be taken for granted on Natalie.
A secret organization named "Russian Issues Research Association" was quickly established under Luo Yaoguo's order. Luo Yaoguo personally served as the chairman. Lieutenant Colonel Natalie was the director general of this research association, including Lieutenant General Wu Ziliang, director of the Military Intelligence Bureau. Colonel Xiao Yuhan, Secretary-General of the General Staff, Major General He Zhonghan, Dean of Education of the Central Military Academy and Chairman of the Sun Wenism Society, Major General Sun Yuanliang, Chief Political Instructor of the Central Military Academy, and others are members of this research association.And Xiao Yuhan's errand was ordered by Natalie in the name of the "Russian Issues Research Society", asking him to secretly go to Shanghai to meet an important person. This person is so important that Lieutenant General Wu Ziliang of the Military Intelligence Bureau rushed to Shanghai to sit in person Meanwhile, Marshal Luo Yaoguo stayed on the secret phone line in the General Staff Office, and talked to Wu Ziliang at any time to keep track of the situation here in Shanghai.
That important person now lives at No. 71, Masnan Road, in the French Concession of Shanghai, and some well-disguised people are wandering around.Xiao Yuhan knew that these people were all elite special forces carefully selected from the teaching corps of the Central Military Academy.Although the Shanghai French Concession has not been officially taken back yet, this is already a certainty. Even if the National Revolutionary Army came in with live ammunition, the people from the Ministry of Industry and Bureau here could only greet them with smiles, let alone some plainclothes personnel who came in to protect them. It's time for someone.
Xiao Yuhan hurriedly approached the gate of this French-style villa. The special forces guarding the gate just looked at him vigilantly and did not stop him. It was obvious that these people knew Secretary-General Xiao and knew that he was coming.The iron door was pushed open with a creak, and a little old man in a neat suit came out. He was Luo Yaoguo's old housekeeper, Rob. He seemed to know that Xiao Yuhan was coming, and he respectfully made a respectful gesture. .Xiao Yuhan bowed his hand as a way of paying back the salute, and then followed the old man into the yard.
In the spacious living room of the bungalow, there were already people waiting there.A not-so-tall Caucasian man in his 30s was sitting on the sofa. This Caucasian man was not the blonde and blue-eyed type that Xiao Yuhan often saw in the Central Military Academy and Army University, but had a darker complexion and black curly hair. There was also a With his iconic high forehead, he looks like a very smart guy.Two tall, strong, bear-like blond men stood behind him, watching Xiao Yuhan, who was wearing a Chinese-style robe, walk in with cautious eyes.
Xiao Yuhan has long known this black-haired white man from photos. He is the former commander-in-chief of the Soviet Red Army that Stalin feared most, Lenin's close comrade-in-arms and successor (Lenin's will) Trotsky's eldest son, Leon Trotsky Tsky!He is the protagonist Xiao Yuhan will meet this time.Leon Trotsky was sent to China by his father this time, and it was Natalie Lesinskaia who invited him. This Polish woman was not considered an important person in the past, or she would not have It was given to Luo Yaoguo as an object, but now it has become Trotsky's most important supporter, or more precisely, a sponsor!The funds from Wuhan and Warsaw will be transferred to Leon Trotsky's account through Natalie's Swiss bank account. Without these funds, those Trotskyists who followed Trotsky to flee would have to starve.So this time when the behind-the-scenes funder called, Leon Trotsky came from Turkey without saying a word.
Seeing Xiao Yuhan walking in, Leon Trotsky knew that it must be a senior intelligence officer of the Chinese imperialists. He looked kindly at Xiao Yuhan, sat there and nodded to Xiao Yuhan.Xiao Yuhan also smiled faintly.Under the respectful guidance of the old housekeeper, he sat down opposite Leo Trotsky.
"Is that right, Mr. Xiao? Natalie and I have already talked on the phone, and I am very glad to see you here." Leon Trotsky was fluent in Chinese when he spoke, and he smiled self-deprecatingly: "Life in Principe Island is too leisurely, so I learned Chinese by myself, isn't it pretty good?"
Xiao Yuhan nodded with a smile: "You speak Chinese very fluently. It seems that you have some language talents. You must know that Chinese is not easy to learn by yourself." His face became serious as he said this: "I was entrusted by Marshal Luo Fuwen to come here. I just wanted to see what kind of help you Bolshevik-Leninists need."
Although Xiao Yuhan's words were very tactful, Leon Trotsky knew the meaning of the other party's words very well in his heart. The so-called what kind of help he needed was actually asking Trotsky about his plans to add trouble to Stalin.But isn't that exactly what he and his father Trotsky wanted?
Leon Trotsky smiled slightly: "We now have some plans to oppose Stalin's tyranny and need the help of Chinese friends. According to the information we have, the current economic situation in the Soviet Union is extremely severe. Due to Stalin's brutal agricultural collectivization Tens of millions of Russian peasants are on the brink of starvation due to the policy and the plundering of peasants! In order to suppress domestic dissatisfaction with its wrong economic policies, the Stalinist regime has sent millions of people into concentration camps scattered throughout the Soviet Union. Most of the concentration camps were established in Siberia. Moreover, there are many comrades of our Brett faction in these concentration camps, and we now have some secret channels to contact them... Many of them were once excellent Red Army officers with excellent combat skills and military experience, if we can transport weapons into some concentration camps in Siberia, I am confident that we can launch an armed uprising there! The uprising will start with the prisoners of the concentration camps as the backbone, and it will be OK after a certain victory Mobilize the peasants who are on the verge of starvation to join us, and then those conscientious officers and soldiers in the Soviet Red Army will join us. I am confident that the uprising will eventually overthrow the tyranny of Stalin!"
"You can really launch an armed uprising on the territory of the Soviet Union?!" Xiao Yuhan was a little shocked. The Soviet Union seemed to be a country like an iron barrel, and someone could actually start an uprising there!
"Colonel, as long as we have enough support, we can indeed launch an uprising on the soil of the Soviet Union." Leon Trotsky smiled and said carefully: "Actually, there have been many attacks on the Soviet Union in the past two years. The riots or uprisings of the Stalinist regime failed only because they lacked sufficient support and a strong organization. However, the Stalinist regime tightly sealed the news, so the outside world knew very little. It is ironic to say that Stalin was supporting other While peasants and workers in the country rebelled against their respective governments and launched armed riots, our peasants in the Soviet Union were the most miserable in the world, and they were starving to death in a systematic manner by Stalin's regime! In addition, there are countless people who are more miserable than peasants. Many of our comrades were among the millions of political prisoners sent by Stalin to labor camps across the USSR! Many of my relatives were there too! Our envisioned uprising would begin in one of the concentration camps in Siberia, USSR .”
"But aren't those concentration camps heavily guarded? How do you send weapons and orders in?" Xiao Yuhan asked again.
Leon Trotsky sneered at the corner of his mouth: "Buying! Money or other good things, such as good fabrics, delicious food, etc. Those concentration camps are places where money can make ghosts grind, After all, Stalin imprisoned millions of people, and perhaps he planned to imprison many more, and in order to guard these prisoners, he also needed a large number of internal affairs personnel... These people are not loyal communist fighters!"
"We can bribe some of the guards to transport a small amount of weapons into the concentration camp. Our comrades will use these weapons to launch riots, and then organize the rescued prisoners to form an army. However, it is necessary to provide thousands or tens of thousands of troops. Weapons are a very troublesome thing. Our solution to this is to choose the location of the uprising as close as possible to the concentration camps on the coast of Mongolia or East Siberia. We can secretly transport weapons into the Soviet Union through the Mongolian border or coastline. stored near concentration camps..."
A smile gradually appeared on Xiao Yuhan's face. It was obvious that this meeting was very valuable. The great Soviet Union was so impenetrable in front of enemies who did not understand it, but Trotsky, who was also the founder of the Soviet Union, In the eyes of the molecules, it is simply a big sieve full of holes!These guys may be the accomplices of Stalin's tyranny, but because they were squeezed out in the power struggle, they naturally knew the weaknesses of Stalin's regime well. No wonder this Stalin insisted on driving out the Trotskyists!
……
Wuhan East Lake, Nationalist Government Military Committee, Luo Yaoguo drank coffee and Chiang Kai-shek took the telegram sent by Xiao Yuhan from Shanghai, and smiled with satisfaction: "These Trotskyites still have a way. If their affairs can be successful, we There is no need to worry about the threat of Soviet Russia."
"So you don't agree with reaching an agreement with Bukharin?" Chiang Kai-shek asked, frowning.
"No, no, Mr. Jie." Luo Yaoguo shook his head and said, "Stalin will not really abandon the CCP, nor will he really rest assured that his backyard will be under our bayonets. The geographical location between us and the Soviet Union determines The two countries must become enemies, not friends."
Chiang Kai-shek was stunned for a moment, then nodded. The Soviet Union would not rest assured of China, and a strong and unified China would not give up its efforts to regain lost ground. As long as the western part of the Soviet Union faced a major crisis, China would definitely take advantage of it.As far as he knew, the general staff headed by Luo Yaoguo had already drawn up many invasion plans for this!There are a lot of blue schemes and gray schemes, all of which are drooling at the Central Asia and Siberia of the Soviet Union.
"I really want to know, what kind of expression will this red tsar have when he sees the beacon fires everywhere in his backyard?" Luo Yaoguo's mouth showed a hint of amusement.
