"Yes, there are two such people." Molotov frowned and hesitated: "They have gone to... Solovsky now."

"Solovsky!? Already arrested?" Stalin was taken aback, then turned to glance at Menzhinsky, who was working swiftly: "What's going on?"

Menzhinsky smiled awkwardly: "Comrade Stalin, we only started the investigation after you rejected their request, and soon discovered that these two people are actually Chinese spies! And the Kuomintang military The intelligence agency has connections, and has been…”

"Release and restore your reputation." Stalin waved his hand impatiently, stopped Menzhinsky's nonsense, and said to Molotov, "Go and tell these two people that the Communist International cannot accept their membership for the time being. Because their place of activity is in China. According to the principle of one country, one party of the Comintern, they should now accept the leadership of the CCP until they obtain a solid base in North Korea. However, the Comintern will still provide them with assistance through the CCP of"

"By the way, I will also instruct the CCP to help these North Korean revolutionaries establish a secret camp in Northeast China bordering North Korea, and at the same time provide them with weapons and guidance, and ask them to do everything possible to help the Workers' Party of Korea establish a base in North Korea. From now on, the cause of the liberation of the Korean people will rely on the comrades in the CCP to provide support.”

Molotov nodded, and he asked again: "Comrade Stalin, do you want to ask the Chinese comrades to send military advisers or armed personnel to directly intervene?"

"You said that the CCP's army should sneak into North Korea directly." Stalin looked extremely strange, and he played with the pipe in his hand: "Isn't their army the border guards of the Chinese imperialists now? If they enter North Korea, they will be the Chinese imperialists." Have you attacked Japanese imperialism? If the two imperialists fight, we, the Soviet Union, may be able to breathe a little bit."

……

Zhou Enlai gently put down the copy of the telegram in his hand, and knocked on the table unconsciously with his fingers.His current expression is a bit weird, a bit gloomy, and a bit indignant.But more is a look of confusion about the future.

During this period of time, the CCP and the Kuomintang reached an agreement on peaceful reunification, and the two parties can be regarded as "people of one country".The red flag of the Soviet Union has also been replaced by an ugly blue sky and white sun flag, and the majestic International Anthem every morning has also become the national anthem of "The Three People's Principles, Our Party".

However, the impact of "peaceful reunification" is more than that. During this period of time, many changes have quietly taken place in the CCP's jurisdiction. It's over, the intellectuals have a lot of weird words and no one cares about them, all kinds of businessmen have begun to appear in the market, and even the textbooks of elementary and middle school students no longer call Chiang Kai-shek and Luo Yaoguo traitors... 800 million French currency a year!Moreover, the members of the two houses of the six provinces sent by the CCP can still receive a large amount of subsidies, and there are always some so-called capitalists who don’t know how to spend money on these members. In addition, all the properties of the generals and cadres at all levels in the Kuomintang-controlled areas are also returned. Including the houses they used to live in in Beiping and Tianjin, they don't know how to belong to them!All the cadres who went to Beiping and Tianjin for business or private affairs were always received by the Kuomintang with a high standard of reception, and they always returned satisfied with what they ate and took.

After only two months, no one below did not say good things about the Kuomintang!Originally, there was no deep hatred between the two parties, only a little friction.As for fighting for the world, it is actually a matter at the level of Zhou Enlai, Mao Zedong, Chiang Kai-shek, and Luo Yaoguo, and has little to do with the comrades below.Moreover, there have been reliable rumors in the past two days that the Military Commission of the Nationalist Government is considering giving the officers of the Youth Army and Border Guards the same treatment as reserve officers of the National Revolutionary Army.In other words, comrades can directly receive a monthly salary equivalent to [-]% of active officers from the Finance Bureau of the Ministry of War of the Nationalist Government!And this money is issued to individuals according to regulations!Organizationally, if it is withheld, it is "withholding military pay."

They are blatantly corrupting people's hearts!Zhou Enlai cursed secretly, it turns out that this Luo Yaoguo is very insidious and cunning!Where is his peaceful reunification?Obviously it is a peaceful evolution!Now the Kuomintang is the central government, and it still has an overwhelming military and financial advantage... Those who have a lot of money have taken sugar-coated shells and bombarded the CCP’s positions day and night. Except for truly determined comrades, there are few people who can Can you stand it? !Moreover, in order to paralyze the Kuomintang reactionaries, the leading comrades of the central government have accepted various gifts from them a few years ago. Can the comrades below not be allowed to take them now?Besides, there are still many cadres from the former "National Army" and "Northeast Army" systems...not to mention that it is easy to resist the sugar-coated bullets for a day or two, and it takes ten or eight years to resist this temptation and keep the Communist Party members. It's too difficult to be true to yourself, especially in this peaceful age when there is no war, and you are still facing such rich enemies who really don't want the lives of big guys, but just want to buy comrades.

The door of the office was pushed open with a slam, and Mao Zedong stood at the door with a smile. He still maintained the true colors of a Communist, wearing a crumpled military uniform, with a hard and simple appearance, except for the That premium cigarette.Zhou Enlai frowned slightly.He raised his hand and said, "Vice Chairman Mao, please sit down."

Mao Zedong sat down resolutely, frowning and looking at the copied newspaper on the table, which seemed to be an instruction issued by the Communist International.Mao Zedong picked it up and saw that it was an instruction about the Korean Workers' Party and the People's Army.The Communist International handed over this force to the CCP for management, and also asked the CCP to help them establish an anti-Japanese base in North Korea.

"Comrade Enlai, what do you think?" Mao Zedong put down the document in his hand and asked in a deep voice.

"It is still necessary to strengthen ideological education, and let the majority of cadres and party members firmly believe that communism will win and capitalism will fail! We must maintain the spirit of hard work, we must persist in self-reliance, and we must not be fooled by the sugar-coated shells of the Kuomintang... ..." Zhou Enlai frowned and replied inappropriately.

"Enlai, I mean North Korea, what do you think about North Korea?" Looking at Zhou Enlai who was immersed in his own thoughts, Mao Zedong shook his head slightly and reminded: "The Communist International instructed us to lead the Korean Workers' Party to liberate the Korean people. The cause requires us to provide military and financial support to the Workers’ Party of Korea.”

"What?" Zhou Enlai was taken aback when he heard the words, and then murmured, "Is there such a thing? When did it happen? Why don't I know?"

Mao Zedong smiled wryly, and handed over the instruction telegram from the Comintern: "My Vice Chairman Zhou, this telegram is on your desk, haven't you read it?"

Zhou Enlai also smiled wryly, and took a quick glance at the copied newspaper: "What medicine did the Communist International take wrongly? They actually instructed us to liberate North Korea? China hasn't been liberated yet. When will it be North Korea's turn?" he said. He took a deep breath, crumpled up the copied newspaper vigorously, and threw it into a corner: "Runzhi, this matter has nothing to do with us, and that Jin Jiu was supported by the Kuomintang at all. And Wang Zhongyi It’s the same thing! If we don’t support it, the KMT will surely support it.”

Mao Zedong smiled deeply, and said lightly: "Vice Chairman Zhou, have you forgotten who made the assassination outside the Sakurada Gate? That was the trigger for the second Russo-Japanese War! It was this assassination that made Luo Yaoguo win the defeat." The honor of the Soviet Union also allowed the Kuomintang to get rid of the joint oppression of Japan and the Soviet Union, and gained a respite! I didn't expect... Luo Yaoguo was playing tricks on this matter, this guy's mind is calm!"

Zhou Enlai snorted coldly: "Isn't it? The Kuomintang's sugar-coated shells have been thrown at us in waves in the past two months! Many of the comrades below who are not firm-willed have been confused by them! How can this go on? The confrontation between the Kuomintang is not a day or two, but ten or eight years! At that time, they will not have to fight..."

Mao Zedong smiled indifferently, and waved his hands: "When the water is clear, there will be no fish, and when people observe it, there will be no disciples. Come on, some things should not be taken too seriously. Some of our comrades are not afraid of bullets, but when they encounter this kind of material life It is inevitable that they will be shaken by the temptation." He then shook his head again: "But it is normal for them to have this kind of thinking, and our revolutionary cause also needs this kind of ability, but they are not yet a real ideological leader. Comrades of Marxists! We are not going to prevent them from receiving reasonable and legal material treatment from the Kuomintang...but to create conditions, build our own territory, and create good working and living conditions for comrades! After all, in the future The confrontation between them may last ten years or even twenty years! We can’t make those comrades suffer and suffer for the rest of their lives, can we?”

After being persuaded by Mao Zedong, Zhou Enlai nodded slowly: "Runzhi, what you said is reasonable. In the final analysis, we must speed up economic construction and fully demonstrate the superiority of socialism, so that the team can be stable." But his eyebrows at this time But it wrinkled a little more.In terms of economic construction, the Kuomintang has already taken a step ahead, and they have occupied the most affluent territory in China, while the land left to the CCP is all poor and remote areas.

"Well, I'm afraid it's impossible to catch up with economic construction alone. Their economic foundation is far from comparable to ours. But we are not without a chance, because the Kuomintang reactionaries don't want to develop the economy steadily, but want to eat it all at once. Be a fat man! Want to accumulate wealth quickly through plunder. So, we still have a chance, as long as they suffer setbacks in foreign wars, like Tsarist Russia in World Wars...their economy collapses, don't we have Is there a chance?"

Zhou Enlai looked at Mao Zedong quietly, and shook his head suspiciously: "Isn't the Soviet Union the target of their aggression? But the current civil war in the Soviet Union is getting bigger and bigger, and the national power is naturally being consumed, while the heavy industry of the Kuomintang is developing at a high speed... By the time the Kuomintang really wants to attack, their power may have far surpassed that of the Soviet Union? It seems that we can only take advantage of the situation to take Soochow..."

"Hasn't Stalin figured out a way to deal with the Trotskyists now?" Mao Zedong pointed to the bundle of telegrams in the corner, and said with a sneer, "Stalin wanted Jin Jiu to be the fuse of the war for a while, but this The second time he wanted to ignite the conflict between China and Japan. Trotsky is backed by the Kuomintang and Japan. If there is another conflict between the Kuomintang and Japan, I am afraid that there will be no time to take care of the Trotskyites. With their support, Stalin will surely win the war! Naturally, he and the Kuomintang will lose both in the future.”

"But the Jin Jiu card was played by Luo Yaoguo himself." Zhou Enlai shook his head slightly.

"He was worried about Stalin's compromise with Japan." Mao Zedong said quietly: "Luo Yaoguo's agencies have exhausted all possible considerations, but sometimes they think too much. He is worried that Stalin will cede the Far East to negotiate peace with Japan, or even Let Japan help the Soviet Union fight, so I want Jin Jiu to hang up the signboard of Moscow... But Stalin gave him a trick, he asked Jin Jiu to hang up our signboard to make trouble for Japan, so that Japan and the national government in a state of hostility."

"Is it possible? Japan and the Kuomintang are not fools..."

Mao Zedong smiled slightly and said: "But the Japanese people and the Chinese people don't know, in fact, their upper echelons have colluded together. And these two countries, China and Japan, are now known as constitutional countries. Besides, we are now obeying the leadership of the National Government. border guards."

Chapter 0649 Anti-Comintern Pact ([-]) The Birth of Ximo

Northeast China in February has long been a world of ice and snow.The heavy snow has sealed the mountain, and there is a vast expanse of white snow fog between the sky and the earth.In the snow that had sunk into their boots, a group of people struggled to walk along the trails in Changbai Mountain. Everyone's eyebrows and beards were covered with icicles.These people must have undergone the most rigorous training to be able to travel long distances in such extreme cold weather.

A short, stocky middle-aged man suddenly stopped, patted the shoulder of the person in front, and yelled into his ear: "Brother, how far do we have to go to reach your secret camp?" The young man in front replied Turning around, he replied loudly with an authentic Northeast accent: "Turn over the mountain in front, go through an old forest, and walk fifteen miles on the mountain road, and you will be there!"

The middle-aged man smiled wryly, and took out the wine jug that was still warm from his arms.He took a big gulp of wine into his mouth.It seemed that he had regained some energy and waved his hands vigorously behind him.Say hello to your companions who are a little numb from the cold after hours of trekking.Under his urging, these people really quickened their pace a little, and soon passed through a dense forest like a snow forest, and came to a mountain bend.The person who led the way stopped: "Wait here, we're here! I'll go to the joint first!" A group of people gathered together against the biting cold wind. Everyone was exhausted and didn't want to talk. They just took out the flagon and drank.It seems to be ready to mobilize the last bit of body heat to resist the ghostly weather.

Waited about an hour.Only then did I see the person leading the way around the bend in the mountain.Followed by two men in thick fur clothes, both of them held 10 rounds of shell guns in their hands.Be very wary of these people.There were also people in the crowd who wanted to draw out pistols, but were stopped by the man leading the team.He shouted loudly: "I am Wu Ting! I am the special commissioner sent by the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China to convey the instructions of the Communist International! I want to see Comrade Jin Jiu."

Here is a small base of the so-called Korean People's Army under the leadership of the Workers' Party of Korea at the junction of China and Japan (North Korea), in the mountains of Changbai Mountain.It used to be a stronghold of the Northeast Red Army of the Communist Party of China before, and earlier it was a secret camp of the Korean Independence Army.In fact, there have always been a small number of North Korean patriots who have occupied the mountain as king here... The Independent Army, the Red Army of the Communist Party of China, and now the Korean People's Army are basically a group of people who are constantly changing their families.Anyway, except for the Japanese, no matter who is willing to pay these people with lofty ideals, they will hang their names.If that German mustache is willing to give some marks, maybe Comrade Wu Ting will be able to see the Nazi Wanzi flag here.In fact, these days, not only North Korean patriots are like this, but any patriots of an oppressed nation that has "subjugated the country and wiped out its species" are looking for thighs all over the world in this way.

The fireplace in the log house was raised, drinking steaming broth and eating fragrant rice.Wu Ting, a special commissioner of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and a North Korean, suddenly felt that the North Korean compatriots in front of him seemed to be living a good life. They were already "drinking broth and eating rice". This standard is far from the ten-year goal announced by the CCP. Not far off!It seems that this Jin Jiu is indeed a Kuomintang spy, as the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China has warned!However, the CCP didn't care much about these, and squeezed out 100 million French currency from the already extremely difficult funds to bring him "support for the world revolution."

The room was full of people, including the guide who spoke Northeast dialect just now. He is also the backbone of the Korean People's Army. His name is Kim Doo-bong.Now this camp is actually not Jin Jiu's real lair, but a branch led by Jin Doubong. Jin Jiu secretly arrived at this secret camp last night to meet Wu Ting and listen to the instructions of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China.Now the future Kim Sun of North Korea is sitting face to face with Wu Ting, eagerly listening to the instructions of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the Communist International conveyed by Wu Ting.The instructions said that your Workers' Party of Korea, Kim Koo's, has now been recognized by the Communist International, but it is not yet a full member, but an alternate member!They will not be able to "become regular" until they have established a revolutionary base in North Korea, but before becoming a regular, they can still receive assistance through the Chinese Communist Party.Uh, you can get money, and there are instructors, North Korean CCP officers, weapons, etc. to support their actions!

As for the instructions of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, it is also very simple. First, send a telegram to "declare war" against Japan, telling the people of the world about the Korean People's Army, and declaring that the Korean People's Army and the Workers' Party are supported by the CCP!And I plan to find trouble with the Japanese!The second is to start anti-Japanese activities across the border.That is to go to North Korea to kill Japanese; rob Japanese tax authorities, banks, post offices, stores; With the support of the vast number of poor and lower-middle peasants, a base area has been laid in North Korea, so that the flag of the Workers' Party can fly high in that piece of land that has already suffered too many disasters, and there may be even more disasters in the future!

……

Sitting in the office of the Vice Chairman of the Military Commission, Luo Yaoguo carefully looked at a plan personally sent by Yang Yongtai to help border guard officers under the leadership of the Communist Party improve their lives.These days, he has devoted most of his energy to the cause of undermining world peace. Yang Yongtai, secretary-general of the Military Commission, is mainly responsible for developing friendly relations with the CCP and promoting mutual trust between the two sides.Judging from the plan formulated by Secretary-General Yang, it seems that he is not so anti-communist.It seems that it is wrong for him to always look at people with the colored glasses of his previous life... Thinking of this, he couldn't help but shook his head and slightly criticized himself.

"...The six provinces currently controlled by the CCP are all sparsely populated and economically backward areas. Among them, the Mongolian herdsmen in East and West Mongolia, Suiyuan, Chahar, Rehe and other provinces still enjoy the so-called preferential treatment policy for ethnic groups, basically do not need to pay Taxation. The main source of income is land tax and business tax paid by millions of Han people in Re, Cha, Sui, and northern Shaanxi provinces. According to investigations, it is only 200 million catties of millet and [-] million French currency per year.

However, the number of military and local cadres that the CCP needs to support is extremely large, so the treatment of officers and soldiers is extremely poor.The border guards controlled by the CCP have about 20 officers and soldiers, of which the proportion of officers is relatively large, with about [-] people.Due to financial constraints, the Chinese Communist Army does not currently implement a salary system, but a so-called supply system.Except for a few high-level cadres, the vast majority of officers and soldiers are living in difficulties, and can only meet basic living needs every month.

In order to improve the lives of the officers of the border guards and enable them to guard the border with peace of mind, it is suggested that all officers of the border guards be granted the rank of reserve service, and be included in the management system of reserve soldiers, with monthly salaries.To this end, the Military Commission should set up sub-bureaus for the management of reserve soldiers in the six provinces under the jurisdiction of the CCP, responsible for registering all officers of the CCP’s border guards, conferring military ranks on the reserve of the National Revolutionary Army according to their rank in the army, and paying salaries on a monthly basis. subsidy.The criteria for conferring titles are as follows: the commander-in-chief and political commissar of the border defense army shall confer the rank of general in the reserve service; Military rank; the chief of staff, deputy commander, deputy political commissar, and director of the Political Department of the Frontier Defense Army conferred the rank of lieutenant general in the reserve service..."

Luo Yaoguo was fascinated by it. This plan to confer the rank of reserve to the officers of the border guards should be Yang Yongtai's sugar-coated bullet to the revolutionary officers of the Communist Party of China. According to Chiang Kai-shek, it is also the key to the real peaceful reunification in the future.More than 1000 million sugar-coated shells are thrown directly into the pockets of more than 2 revolutionary officers every year, plus various bourgeois ideologies and lifestyles from the Kuomintang-controlled areas. As long as you persevere, there will always be some effect, right?Unless each of the more than 2 military officers has been educated by the CCP to become [-]% Marxist, ready to devote all their energy and life to the most magnificent cause in the world...

While he was concentrating, there was a soft knock on the office door.Luo Yaoguo shouted: "Come in!" and saw Natalie walking in with a smile and holding a yellow newspaper, as if some happy event had come.

"The supplementary text is news from Germany. The results of the German parliamentary elections have come out. The National Socialist Workers Party led by Mr. Hitler won more than 50.00% of the votes and is now the largest party in the German parliament! Hitler himself is also in the He became Chancellor of Germany not long ago. And he has invited you to visit Germany in the name of the German government, and he also hopes to discuss with you how to further strengthen Sino-German cooperation."

It turned out that Hitler, the devil and lunatic, came to power!Luo Yaoguo raised his head and glanced at the smiling Natalie, took the copy of the telegram a little uneasy, opened it and read it.What I think in my mind is, in this history that has been tampered with by myself, will this Hitler have the last laugh?Waiting for him is the basement of the Chancellery, or a millennium empire?Now that I and the Kuomintang are almost on Hitler's boat, maybe my future fate will also be bound up with this lunatic, right?Natalie was still standing by, watching the drastic change in the expression on his face.Luo Yaoguo's brows became more and more furrowed, and finally he sighed quietly: "This lunatic is on stage, and the European peace train will soon derail... Natalie, please go and invite brother Jiansheng and He Jingzhi to come over."

When Bai Chongxi and He Yingqin hurried into Luo Yaoguo's office, they saw Luo Yaoguo standing in front of a map hanging on the wall with his hands behind his back, his face was solemn and his brows were deeply furrowed.And that map is actually a one-fifty-thousandth world map!Natalie silently closed the door of the office outside.Bai Chongxi asked suspiciously: "Brother Fuwen, what happened?" Luo Yaoguo pointed to the telegram spread out on the table with his back on his back and copied the newspaper: "Brother Jiansheng, Brother Jing, please take a look first. Adolf Hitler is already in the Germany has come to power! It’s almost a year earlier than expected, and he invited me to visit Germany as soon as he came to power, and to discuss Sino-German cooperation... You should be able to guess what it is? We can be so fast these years It has developed and become the leading country in Asia because of the cooperation between China and Germany, followed by the United States and the United Kingdom to promote, but their support is not unconditional, and now is the time to reap the rewards."

He Yingqin took the copy of the telegram and glanced over it hastily. The telegram was sent by Zeng Qi, the ambassador to Germany, and it was very brief.It just said that Hitler has been elected prime minister and invited Luo Yaoguo to lead a Chinese military delegation to visit Germany to discuss the comprehensive military cooperation between the two countries.After reading it, he handed the telegram to Bai Chongxi.

"Brother Fuwen, Germany is still bound by the "Treaty of Versailles", and the Wehrmacht is only a mere [-] people... Do you estimate how long it will take for Hitler to get rid of the shackles of the "Treaty of Versailles" and how long it will take to start a war? What about your preparations?" Bai Chongxi put down the telegram copy, thought for a while and asked.

"Six years." Luo Yaoguo replied.

"Can we get rid of the "Treaty of Versailles" in six years?" He Yingqin shook his head: "It shouldn't be that easy, right? That's all for the UK, and France will compromise so easily?"

Luo Yaoguo turned his head and looked at them fixedly, before sighing after a while: "No, it's a world war! This lunatic can turn Germany from a disarmed country into the most powerful country in the world within six years. He will launch a world war, and the opponents should be Soviet Russia, Britain, France, and even the United States! And we must participate in the world war he launched, and we must do everything possible to influence the course of the war. The world war is carried out according to our ideas! Only in that way can China's interests be protected and realized to the greatest extent!"

It seems that when Bai Chongxi and He Yingqin came, Luo Yaoguo had already thought about this matter thoroughly.He took a heavy breath and continued downward: "...Jiansheng, respectfully. I estimate that the Second World War will break out in 1938 or 1939, and our participation in this war is inevitable! So the General Staff The Ministry is now preparing for war according to this timetable... including the heavy industry development plan, the general mobilization plan, the officer and military academy recruitment plan, the weapons production reserve plan, the wartime economic maintenance plan, the troop expansion plan and the base camp organization plan are all around 1938 A world war enacts!"

He walked to the desk and sat down, seeming to have calmed down quickly.No more expressions of excitement, just looking at He Yingqin: "Brother Jing, the Second World War is inevitable, and a rising power like China cannot and should not be a mediocre spectator. Because we must To become the rule-maker of the world in the next few hundred years, just like the status of Britain and France in the past few hundred years! However, this matter cannot be decided by me alone. Jiegong and I must make up our minds together. So I hope you can help me persuade Jiegong to participate in this war that will truly determine the interests of the future world! And let this war be fought according to the route we designed!"

In fact, He Yingqin had known for a long time that a war against the Soviet Union was brewing. After all, he was the deputy chief of staff. Of course, the general staff's secret plan to prepare for a war against the Soviet Union could not be hidden from him.But what Luo Yaoguo said still took him by surprise.Because the enemy of this war is not just the Soviet Union!It also includes Britain, France, and maybe even the world's number one industrial power like the United States!Is China sure of victory in such a war?Shouldn't he lose everything in the end and ruin the great situation that he had so hard to come by right now?

He murmured: "Brother Fuwen, isn't this war against the Soviet Union? Isn't the Soviet Union big enough for us to carve up with Germany and Poland? Why is there still a war against Britain and France? Britain and France are number one in the world Naval power, one is the world's largest army power... Germany and Poland can deal with the Soviet Union after losing both? I think we will participate in the war against the Soviet Union, and the latter should not participate in it?"
