Luo Yaoguo's memories in his previous life told him that the Soviet Union had already become the second largest industrial country in the world after two or three five-year plans were completed!In terms of various heavy industry production data, it was second only to the United States, the world's largest industrial country at that time.If the Soviet Union grows into the world's second largest industrial country in this time and space, it will not be easy to destroy it in the future!Therefore, those "five-year plans" that interfere with the Soviet Union seem to be very necessary, and the Soviet Union must not be given a chance for stable development.

"But what if Stalin agrees to the conditions you put forward? Do we still support Trotsky's people to rebel in the Soviet Union?" Chiang Kai-shek thought for a while, and then asked: "Although it is impossible for Stalin to give up his support for the CCP, but If the CCP can temporarily stop attacking the Trotskyites and lift the blockade against Mongolia, it will be good for us to strengthen the Trotskyites. Besides... Letting Trotsky enter Mongolia is to fight Stalin to the end. This will help us unify China is bad."

Luo Yaoguo laughed and waved his hands: "Stalin would not agree to our sending weapons and ammunition into Mongolia to arm the Trotskyist army. At most, he agreed to a temporary truce so that he could speed up the arming of the CCP and make the CCP fully prepared for war. "Speaking of this, he took a meaningful look at Lao Jiang: "Mr. Jie, the Soviet Union is now continuously strengthening the CCP's armed forces. These forces are now used for the Trotskyites, and they may be used against us in the future! For such a enemy, do we need to be merciful?"

Chiang Kai-shek frowned, lost in thought, Luo Yaoguo's last words reminded him.Right now, the Soviet Union is tying down and threatening the Nationalist Government by providing great assistance to the CCP, and the only thing the Nationalist Government can counter is to support the Trotskyites to mess up the Soviet Union.Even if the Nationalist government and the Stalinist authorities want to compromise in the end, they might as well let the Trotskyites light the fire of the Soviet Civil War first, so that the Nationalist government will have an extra trump card in their hands, and they will not suffer losses in future negotiations with the Soviet Union.

In the Kremlin, Stalin looked gloomy, Bukharin's telegram was on his desk, and Molotov and Menzhinsky were urgently summoned.

"The National Government of China requested the CCP to cease fighting and to lift the blockade of Mongolia. What do you think? Can these two conditions be accepted?"

As soon as Molotov and Menzhinsky came in, Stalin told them the conditions of the National Government, but he did not mention the condition of negotiation and peaceful reunification.Perhaps in Stalin's eyes, the reconciliation with the Kuomintang could not last until then.

Knowing the conditions put forward by the National Government, Menzhinsky thought for a while, and first answered: "A truce should be acceptable. The Red Army of the Communist Party of China is not yet ready to attack. Comrade Berzin reported that they The offensive will not be launched again until the end of August at the earliest, so the truce now is beneficial to us. However, the lifting of the military blockade against Mongolia cannot be agreed, and the Nationalist government obviously wants to transport weapons and ammunition into Mongolia to arm the Trotskyites.”

"But if we don't agree with the national government to bring weapons into Mongolia, they will certainly not agree to give up supporting Trotsky." Molotov shook his head, expressing his disagreement:

"Now we can continuously transport materials and resources to the CCP through the Middle East Railway to strengthen their armed forces, and even if the Kuomintang can deliver only a small amount of weapons and ammunition like Mongolia, the CCP can completely control the weapons and ammunition transported into Mongolia while lifting the blockade." The quantity is limited. In addition, there is no railway from China to Mongolia, and the transportation volume cannot be too much.”

Stalin lit his pipe and smoked slowly: "Comrade Molotov, will the CCP really have to wait until the end of August? By then, winter will not be far away, and the war in Mongolia will probably last until next year. Can the CCP launch an attack earlier? Like in July or earlier in June?"

"No." Molotov shook his head in embarrassment. He also wanted the CCP to launch an attack as soon as possible, but the CCP had their reasons.Molotov said with a wry smile: "The CCP needs the warlord Zhang Xueliang's army of more than 20 to participate in the war. Only when Zhang Xueliang's army participates in the war can the CCP have an advantage in terms of military strength. Wan Dajun’s Chinese trustees have no chance of winning. Zhang Xueliang’s army suffered heavy losses in previous battles, so it takes time to replenish and train, and to strengthen the political and ideological work of the troops, all of which will take time.”

Chapter 0622

"But the Soviet motherland is in danger." Stalin looked serious, interrupted Molotov unceremoniously, and said extremely decisively: "Tell Comrade Berzin that the CCP must draw up a plan to eliminate the Trotskyist armed forces in the near future." A general offensive plan to launch an offensive in Mongolia and Manchuria, to end the war before winter, and to rescue the Mongolian people from the brutal Trotskyist rule."

Molotov couldn't help taking a deep breath. It is already the beginning of June, and there are only 6 days left before the time for launching the offensive stipulated by Stalin. The CCP cannot complete the rectification of Zhang Xueliang's troops anyway. With the participation of these 10,000+ troops, the available soldiers of the CCP are only 25 soldiers in eight legions.This kind of strength is comparable to the armed forces of the Chinese Trotskyites.Even a layman in the military like himself knows that such strength is not enough to destroy the Trotskyites.

"Comrade Stalin." Molotov persuaded helplessly: "The Chinese Trotskyites also have a strong military force, and they have also received the support of the Kuomintang and the guidance of Trotsky. We must not underestimate the enemy... we must have Adequate preparation and an absolute advantage can launch an attack to secure victory in one fell swoop."

"The CCP has more than 40 troops! And the Chinese Trotskyites have only 20." Stalin's face was livid. He knew that even if he agreed to the conditions put forward by the Nationalist government, he would not be able to prevent Trotsky from entering Mongolia in the end.Once Trotsky enters Mongolia and unites with these Chinese Trotskyists, it will definitely encourage the Trotskyists in the Soviet Union, especially those lurking in the Red Army!At that time, the Soviet Union will have to devote its main energy and financial resources to the struggle with the Trotskyites, and the second and third five-year plans will definitely come to naught.

"But Comrade Stalin, among the more than 40 troops of the CCP, 10,000+ are Zhang Xueliang's troops with very weak combat effectiveness." Molotov explained that these troops are not the real Red Army at present, so they cannot afford the offensive mission at all. A comprehensive rectification and transformation must be carried out, and it will take August at the earliest to complete this task.

"No, Comrade Molotov." Stalin's fighting skills are a bit trendy, but he is also a battle-hardened man who has worked hard in the Soviet-Russian Revolutionary War. Cut off Molotov: "The report submitted by Comrade Berzin stated that the CCP only intends to use seven legions to attack the Trotskyist armed forces in western Heilongjiang and Eastern Mongolia, and the remaining five legions are only responsible for encircling them. mission. Then why can't they use the seven best legions to attack, and use Zhang Xueliang's legion to encircle the Trotskyites?"

"The CCP is worried that the Trotskyist armed forces may go south to capture Chahar Province in order to open up a line of communication with the Kuomintang." Molotov looked embarrassed. The CCP is not the Eastern European Communist Party that obeys orders. For the army, the orders of the Comintern are not very effective, and he cannot force the CCP to attack.It's just that these words are not easy to say in front of Stalin, so we have to use the reasons put forward by the CCP to perfunctory.

"At the beginning of July, the CCP must launch an offensive at the beginning of July!" Stalin's tone was extremely severe: "If they don't launch the offensive on time, we will consider real reconciliation with the Nationalist government!"

"But Chahar..."

Menzhinsky shook his head in his heart. Molotov hadn't understood Stalin's intentions. What Stalin wanted was to seize Mongolia as soon as possible, so as to cut off the channel for the Trotskyites to infiltrate Siberia. Gains and losses are not important.

"No, don't think about Chahar, Mongolia is the key. The reason why Chinese Trotskyites can survive is because they control Mongolia. Imperialism can threaten the backyard of the Soviet Union through Mongolia. If Mongolia is controlled by the CCP, the CCP does not need to do it. The Kuomintang will also eliminate these Trotskyites.” Stalin thought for a while, and said in a stern tone: “Tell the CCP that they can agree to temporarily lift the blockade against Mongolia, and at the same time speed up military preparations for attacking Mongolia. The attack must begin before July [-]. "

"I understand." Molotov sighed in his heart. It's not that he didn't know the importance of Mongolia to the Soviet Union, and it wasn't that he didn't understand Stalin's worries. But the CCP has its own interests and will after all, and it can't always force them Otherwise, there will inevitably be a second Wang Zhongyi!But now, he had to submit to Stalin's will, otherwise his life would be in jeopardy.

"Comrade Menzhinsky." Stalin turned to this gentle-looking Soviet intelligence chief: "Domestic suppression must be strengthened, especially in Siberia and within the Red Army. We must prevent Trotskyists at home and abroad from colluding to subvert Our Soviet regime."

Menzhinsky nodded, and he asked again: "Comrade Stalin, do you want the CCP to strengthen its united front work against progressives within the Kuomintang?"

"You said the leftists of the Kuomintang." Stalin looked extremely contemptuous, and he played with the pipe in his hand: "This group of weak socialists is even more untrustworthy than the rightists of the Kuomintang."

Menzhinsky stepped forward and reminded in a low voice: "The Chinese imperialists are now taking the line of parliamentary democracy. These weak socialists can just compete with the KMT right wing for seats in the parliament. With their cooperation with the CCP, It must be able to draw the main energy of the Chinese imperialists and make them have no time for other things. Isn’t the current European socialists playing such a role?” He paused and said: “The Chinese Kuomintang can use Trotsky to To destabilize our Soviet Union, why can't we use the leftists of the Kuomintang to destabilize them?"

Stalin stood up silently, walked to the window, looked at the plantation buildings of the Kremlin in the distance, turned around after a while and said: "Well, let these socialists make trouble for the Kuomintang. Molotov, please Tell the CCP to make full use of the leftists in the Kuomintang to participate in China's democratization process, let them come forward to organize a new political party, let Mr. Sun Wen's widow be the leader of the new party, and make the most of Sun Wen's call To destabilize the Kuomintang. In the future, the CCP should cooperate with the left forces of the Kuomintang, the CCP will be responsible for the armed struggle and the labor movement, and the left forces of the Kuomintang will be responsible for the parliamentary struggle.”

……

Lieutenant Colonel Ye Luo dusted off his clothes cautiously, and sat in the living room of the Military Committee with some anxiety.However, this kind of emotion cannot be seen from his expression at all. He is 25 years old this year and graduated from the fourth phase of Whampoa. In the system, he is quite eye-catching now. He Zhonghan's comment on him is: "He has an excellent political mind and overall vision, is able to change his words, has outstanding writing skills, and has a friendly image and demeanor. He is a rare political intermediary. talent, it can be of great use.”

Of course, Lieutenant Colonel Ye Luo didn't know about these comments. He just immersed himself in his work, and through newspapers, speeches, and political meetings, he deeply imprinted Sun Xuexue's political views into the hearts of Whampoa students one after another.Through the efforts of him, He Zhonghan, Sun Yuanliang and others, the current Sun Society has become the most influential group in the Whampoa system.And he, the lieutenant colonel of the fourth phase of Whampoa, also possessed extraordinary influence and ability to act, so much so that he fell into the eyes of the aloof Luo Yaoguo.

There was a soft sound of footsteps outside the door.Ye Luo quickly stood up, only to find that it was his senior boss, General An Sihua, the education director of the National Revolutionary Army, who came in.In theory, the Sun Society is a "civil society". Most of the core members of the Sun Society work as instructors at the Central Military Academy or the Army University, and Ye Luo is no exception. The Anta director manages.

He watched Ye Luo stand up and smiled at him.It seems that I can also see the nervousness behind the lieutenant colonel: "Sheng, the assistant commander is waiting for you in his own office. Don't be nervous, the assistant commander is also your teacher. Be good this time, me and Junshan ( He Zhonghan) has already solemnly recommended you... Although your military rank is not high, the future is still very bright."

Ye Luo smiled silently, and straightened the military cap on his head a little.In fact, what he was more concerned about was why Luo Yaoguo specially summoned him, a lieutenant colonel in charge of propaganda, this time.An Sihua's words of concern and comfort seemed not so real.He also knew that An Sihua hadn't told him the truth. This "German guy" was a bit old-fashioned and very principled. He would never tell him information that should not be disclosed.At this time, he could only respectfully salute General An, and then followed him to Luo Yaoguo's office.

At the door of the office, Lieutenant Colonel Natalie was waiting there.Seeing that An Sihua just nodded slightly, and then smiled at Ye Luo: "Lieutenant Colonel Ye, please come with me, the assistant commander is waiting for you. Everything you heard in the meeting today must be kept absolutely confidential, got it What?" Ye Luo raised his eyebrows slightly, looking a little surprised, is he, a little lieutenant colonel, going to be involved in some big event now?

Ye Luo looked back at An Sihua, he still had a serious and rigid expression, but he was slightly excited and uneasy.Ye Luo and An Sihua followed Natalie into this door. Once inside, there was a small reception room. There were already several people sitting in the reception room. Ye Luo recognized them all, including Lieutenant General Wu Ziliang from the Military Intelligence Bureau, Colonel Xiao Yuhan, Secretary-General of the General Staff, Lieutenant General He Zhonghan, the new principal of the Central Military Academy, Major General Sun Yuanliang, the chief political instructor of the Central Military Academy, the first female student in the history of the Central Military Academy, and Colonel Cen Biqing, who is currently the deputy editor-in-chief of the Central Daily of the Kuomintang. Major General Wan Yanhao, chief of the Soviet Division, and Major General Bai Siwen, chief of the Japanese Division.Ye Luo knew that the people sitting here, except for An Sihua, were all officers from the intelligence, propaganda and political systems, and almost none of Luo Yaoguo's military backbones appeared.It seems that the issues to be discussed today are mainly related to political propaganda.

Another door of the living room was pushed open, and a figure Ye Luo was already very familiar with quickly walked in. This person was Marshal Luo Yaoguo in neat military uniform and military cap.All the people in the living room stood at attention and saluted. Luo Yaoguo just nodded with a smile and said lightly, "Please sit down." What about the party?"

Seeing Natalie shaking his head slightly, Luo Yaoguo smiled again: "Actually, it's not a big deal, just to discuss how to bring our country into a world war against the Soviet Union." Looking at Ye Luo's shocked expression, Luo Yaoguo Shen Chen smiled: "Surprised, isn't it? I think every Chinese will be very surprised when they hear this news. We Chinese still love peace and don't want to participate in a war that will break out outside the country. This is the main reason why I brought you here... How should we let those citizens who are not very willing to fight and the top officials of the national government participate in this war? Disheng, do you have any suggestions?"

Ye Luo had already recovered from his surprise at this time, he thought for a while, and said loudly: "Teacher, the students feel that our citizens do not lack the courage and spirit of sacrifice to protect the motherland. Socialism and patriotism have been deeply instilled into the minds of a generation of young people, but to launch a war of aggression to the outside world, I am afraid that more propaganda and agitation work must be done, mainly anti-Soviet propaganda and education... and the students suggested , it is best to package this invasion of the Soviet Union as an anti-Soviet war against the Soviet invasion, which is more conducive to our propaganda and mobilization work.”

Luo Yaoguo smiled, that mustache has not yet come to power, and there are still seven or eight years before the war against the Soviet Union, so there is still enough time to start mental preparations.And now that China has basically resolved the Japanese threat, it is time to carry out anti-Soviet propaganda and education.In addition, packaging this war of aggression as a Soviet invasion and a counterattack against the Soviet invasion is also in line with his ideas. After all, the Chinese are not too aggressive.

He just nodded gently: "Your suggestion is good, but under the current situation, it is still difficult to turn anti-Soviet into our national policy. I am afraid that the senior officials of the national government and the people will find it difficult to understand the significance of this matter. Di Sheng , can you understand?" Ye Luo thought to himself, the common people probably just want to live their lives in peace, and it is really not easy to fool them into going to the battlefield, and even he may not really agree to launch a war against Su war?The mouth still replied respectfully: "Please teach me the teacher!"

Luo Yaoguo's face looked cold and serious: "Our citizens have reached more than [-] million now, and with the social stability and economic development, this number will continue to increase in the future! However, the land of our country is still relatively small and inhospitable. Barren, it is difficult for most people to live a relatively rich life... Even if we complete the land reform, it will only save the poorest farmers from starvation. And with the growth of population and the improvement of farmers' education , they will soon be dissatisfied with their own lives, and will become the targets of the Communist Party’s instigation and use! If we want to make the country truly long-term, we must expand our living space and use our army to fight for land for our farmers. Come to obtain resources and markets for our factories. This is also a process that all great powers must go through in the development process, and we are certainly no exception."

Luo Yaoguo glanced at the people in the living room, and asked calmly: "Do you understand?"

"I understand, use Chinese swords to obtain land for Chinese plows." An Sihua shrugged his shoulders, with a look of course on his face.Sure enough, a Prussian militarist!

"From a geopolitical point of view, Siberia and Central Asia were originally part of Eastern civilization and should belong to China. It was a sad mistake for the Russians to occupy there through aggression and expansion, and it should be corrected if it is a mistake." Na Tali also nodded with a smile. This Polish beauty has no less German blood in her veins than Answald. Their family already had the title of knight of the Holy Roman Empire.

But the other Chinese people were somewhat hesitant. Although they all expressed their opinions in the end and agreed with Luo Yaoguo's views, they always seemed a bit reluctant.Seeing their appearance, Luo Yaoguo still smiled with satisfaction: "For thousands of years, we Chinese only know how to live on our own one-acre land, and we have not had the ideal of expanding our territory for many years. It is difficult for everyone to suddenly change their ideas now. In this regard, my friend Mr. Zeng Muhan, who has gone to Germany to serve as an ambassador, gave me an idea, and now I will let you hear it.”

"Mr. Muhan's method is to make full use of the CCP and the Trotskyites to destroy the relationship between China and the Soviet Union. We must make the party-state leaders and the people realize that it is the Soviet Union that is supporting the CCP and preventing China's reunification! China must face A war with the Soviet Union. Because the Soviet Union will definitely intervene in the process of reunification by force by the national government. If the Soviet Union is not defeated, China will not be able to reunify, and it may even perish!"

"At the same time, we must spare no effort to support Trotsky to undermine the stability of the Soviet Union. We must make Stalin think that the imperialists want to support Trotsky to overthrow his rule. We must continue to provide support to the CCP for The attack on the Trotskyist armed forces, so that the Soviet Union can be used to support the CCP to prevent the reunification of China. It can also use Mongolia to attract the attention of the Soviet Union, and even attract the Soviet Red Army to launch a cross-border campaign against the Mongolian Trotskyites... As long as the Soviet Red Army As soon as they entered Mongolia, the national government naturally had to fight the Soviet Union, and once the war against the Soviet Union started, it was up to those people to decide where it would end.”

"As long as the Soviet Union puts its main strength and energy in the east, in Mongolia, it will not be far from its demise!"

Chapter 0623 Gulag Uprising ([-]) Secret Agreement

A somewhat dilapidated military bulk carrier arrived at the pier of Xiamen Port. The weather in the Taiwan Strait has been very good these days, with blue clouds and blue water, and a warm sea breeze.The docks are bustling with dock workers waiting to unload cargo.Cars and rickshaws transporting passengers were jammed together at the entrance to the pier.The greetings in Hokkien, the Mandarin language, rang out.It seems that this is an ordinary morning in a large coastal city in southern China.

With the restoration of Taiwan Province on the other side of the strait, the Taiwan strait has become China's inland sea. Xiamen, the former front line of coastal defense, has now completely become a very prosperous commercial city. Most of these goods are ready to be shipped to Taiwan across the strait, or have just been shipped from Taiwan. Now Xiamen is already the center and hub of cross-strait trade.The economic and trade exchanges and personnel exchanges between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait are also busy beyond imagination.

In this era, the economic development gap between the two sides of the strait is not big. Japan’s 30 years of construction in Taiwan has only developed the originally backward island of Taiwan to a level slightly ahead of Fujian Province. Compared with China’s economic centers such as Shanghai and Guangdong, Taiwan is still backward. rural.Moreover, most of the residents on this island have not forgotten that they are Chinese, and they also have a good impression of the army from their homeland.What's more, the national troops who captured Taiwan were all well-trained and disciplined elites. Most of their troops came from Fujian and Guangdong provinces, and they belonged to the same ethnic group as the local Hokkien and Hakka people in Taiwan. Residents on the island are also happy with the economic prosperity brought about by the expansionary fiscal policy of the national government on the other side, and their vision for land reform, as well as the future democratic and constitutional government. Therefore, the process of integrating this island into China is progressing faster than expected. many.

However, while most Taiwanese residents are grateful that their homeland can rise to become a great power and liberate them from the Japanese colonial rule, some National Revolutionary Army generals saw an opportunity to go south. With the support of a certain tycoon within the National Revolutionary Army, the South Movement faction, which is dominated by officers from the Young and Strong Faction, quietly formed.Corresponding to this is the Northern Movement faction, which is based on the Sun Xuexue system and aims at the northern Soviet Russian territory.After the Republic of China began to gradually rise to become a great power, the idea of ​​aggression and expansion also began to spread among the army and the monopoly capitalist class.Various newspapers also began to advocate Prussia's iron-blooded policy, advocating that external expansion is the only way for China to rise, and even linking land reform with aggressive expansion, claiming that only by conquering more colonies can the domestic The surplus population provides enough arable land and resources...

It was in such an atmosphere that Leon Davidovich Trotsky's cargo ship belonging to the Navy of the National Revolutionary Army arrived secretly at the pier in Xiamen.Leon Trotsky, the eldest son of Xiao Yuhan and Trotsky, had already been waiting here surrounded by guards.One side of the pier has been guarded by armed guards from the brigade.However, to Trotsky's slight disappointment, none of the few bigwigs who were actually in power in the national government appeared here.

After Leon Trotsky received Luo Yaoguo's affirmative reply from Xiao Yuhan, this important leader of the world revolution hastily boarded a military freighter that had already arrived in Turkey, and on board an Italian Navy cruiser It sailed through Malacca under escort, where a brand-new Chinese battleship (Polish Legion class) escorted the freighter carrying Trotsky and his henchmen all the way to Xiamen.Such an attitude, in general, still shows the importance China attaches to Trotsky.And today's low-key may be because he doesn't want to over-irritate the tyrant of the Soviet Union, right?In this regard, Trotsky is also understandable, as long as the support promised by the Chinese is in place, it is enough.

When Trotsky stepped off the boat steadily, a national army band played the Internationale.Xiao Yuhan also stood upright, looking at this old man with a peaceful face, Trotsky had already noticed the Chinese colonel standing beside his eldest son, and walked quickly in front of him.The two smiled and shook hands, Xiao Yuhan said to Trotsky in a low voice in Russian without needing an interpreter: "Welcome, Comrade Trotsky, I hope that your arrival will bring about the long-term friendship between China and the Soviet Union. Individuals are full of expectations."

The expression on Trotsky's face twitched slightly, and in a blink of an eye he showed a charming smile. He also answered in Chinese in a low voice: "As for the long-term friendship between the two countries, I am waiting to discuss with your country's Commissar Chiang." Chairman Luo or Vice Chairman Luo, I hope we can exchange opinions... By the way, I also hope that you can greet Ms. Leshinskaya for me, and thank her for helping us in the past three years. I am also looking forward to it. I can meet her." He nodded lightly to Xiao Yuhan, and accompanied by his son Leon Trotsky, got into the car, and under the protection of the military police, he went to the luxury villa on Gulangyu Island to gossip. building.
