Republic of China game

Page 599

Zhou Enlai followed the voice and found that this person was Browder, the general secretary of the Central Committee of the American Communist Party.The Communist Party of the United States pursues conciliatoryism in the country. During Roosevelt's New Deal period, this Browder even put forward the reactionary slogan "follow Roosevelt and obey Roosevelt's policies"!And after the war between Japan and the United States, he stood firmly on the side of the US government, thinking all day long about disbanding the American Communist Party... The fact that the surrender faction will come to the Eighth Congress of the Communist International is entirely because the Far Eastern Republic is stationed in the United States. Ambassador Shi Huang assured him that the CCP would do everything possible to prompt the Republic of China to go to war against Japan.

"Comrade Browder! The current world revolution requires the Chinese Communist Party to lead the Communist International Army, and our Workers' Party of Korea supports it [-] percent."

It was Kim Koo, the leader of the Workers' Party of Korea who spoke, but as soon as the words were translated into English, they immediately caused even greater controversy at the venue.The leaders of the Communist Party of those European and American countries stood up to speak out one after another, opposing the establishment of a unified Communist International Army... Dimitrov, the leader of the Bulgarian Communist Party who presided over the meeting, saw that the situation was going out of control again, so he had to communicate with Zhou Enlai and hastily announced adjourn.

……

"How about it, brother Enlai, is today's meeting noisy again?"

As soon as he walked into his office, Zhou Enlai heard Zhang Xueliang's voice.Looking up, he saw that the young commander was standing in front of a map of India, drawing something on it with red and blue pencils.Zhou Enlai frowned and smiled wryly: "Where is it so easy to reach an agreement? The leaders of the Communist Party of those European and American countries have their own little calculations, and they are very smart."

Zhang Xueliang sneered, "Then why do we have to force others to be difficult, and just seek common ground while reserving differences? First seize the leadership of the Communist International, and then raise the banner of the Communist International Army, so that our territory in India can be justified. "

Zhou Enlai took a sip from the teacup on the table, and sighed again: "You think I don't want to? It's just that the European and American communist parties have long regarded the Communist Party of the Soviet Union as their suzerain, and they don't even recognize Asian communists like us! I'm worried about voting now. Election of the Executive Committee of the Communist International, maybe it will..." At this point, he suddenly saw on the map drawn by Zhang Xueliang in a mess, there was an arrow turning in the west of New Delhi, the capital of India, and heading south.He hurriedly pointed to the map and asked, "Hanqing, what's going on?"

Zhang Xueliang smiled and said: "Enlai, you just discovered that this is the latest change in the Indian revolution. My brother Chiang Kai-shek didn't know what kind of luck he had. As soon as he became the general adviser of the Indian Army, he commanded The troops defeated Stalin's Red Army in the west of New Delhi!" As he spoke, he handed a telegram to Zhou Enlai, and said: "The defeated Stalin found that the Red Army can only move south, and he doesn't know where he can escape? "

"Oh, there is such a thing!" Zhou Enlai took the telegram and read it in detail.It turned out that when the Indian army and the South Asian Army of the Comintern fought a decisive battle in eastern India, Stalin's Red Army took the opportunity to cross the Indu River and entered the wealthy Punjab state all the way.The panicked government of New Delhi, India had no choice but to order the Muslim coalition forces of the Northwest Regional Army to send troops to deal with Stalin.

But who knows that this group of Muslims is also very cunning. They received gold and silver from the New Delhi government but did not work hard. They also entered Kashmir and Himachal Pradesh in the name of encircling Stalin’s Red Army, and controlled the western part of Punjab. Greatly expanded Power!

Stalin's 8 Red Army took advantage of this rare opportunity to rest and recuperate in the eastern part of Punjab for a while, recovering a lot of energy.And the New Delhi authorities, who were busy "saving Gandhi", couldn't deal with them for the time being, so they had to let it go.But no one expected that at the end of last month, that is, on August 30, this Stalin did not know what medicine he had taken wrongly, and he would attack New Delhi with his army!At this time, it happened that Chiang Kai-shek came to New Delhi to serve as the general adviser to the Indian Army.So he randomly ordered the 10,000+ Indian troops who had just returned to New Delhi to fight Stalin's Red Army. As a result, the two armies fought a melee outside New Delhi.After fighting for two days and nights, finally... the cavalry of the Muslim coalition army that separated Northwest India appeared behind the Red Army, flanked the Indian Army and defeated the Soviet Red Army, and then chased and killed Stalin's Red Army. , is now turning south towards India.

Zhang Xueliang had finished drawing the situation map, stretched his waist, found a chair and sat down, with a gloating expression, he smiled at Zhou Enlai: "The battle outside New Delhi was so muddled, given the current situation of the Soviet Red Army , how can you fight against the enemy’s heavily fortified capital? This Stalin must be crazy? I think the Soviet Red Army is exhausted. My ally is not good at fighting tough battles, but he is still very good at fighting dogs in the water of."

Zhou Enlai put down the telegram, walked to the front of the map, frowned and stared at it for a long time, not knowing what he was thinking, when suddenly he stretched out his hand and drew an arc in south-central India, "Hanqing, you see that the Soviet Red Army is desperate. Is it impossible to join forces with our South Asian Army of the Communist International?"

Chapter 0909 Anti-encirclement and long march (24) Communist International Army

"Joining teachers?" Zhang Xueliang was taken aback when he heard the words, looked up at Zhou Enlai, lowered his voice, and said, "Is this necessary? Judging from the current situation, the Indian army is still very sure to wipe out the Soviet Red Army. It seems that we don't need it." Let's do it..."

Zhou Enlai glanced at Zhang Xueliang, and said with a straight face: "What will we do? Although we have differences with the Soviet Communist Party, these differences are the different views of comrades on certain issues, not the conflict between the enemy and ourselves! Now the Soviet Communist Party and the Soviet Red Army have faced The catastrophe, as a fraternal party, we are obliged to help them, the joining forces of the two parties and armies is to better help the comrades in the Soviet Union. Han Qing, do you understand what I mean?"

Zhang Xueliang rolled his eyes, nodded slightly, and sighed again: "Of course I understand what Brother Enlai means, but... comrades in the Soviet Union may not understand our good intentions. For example, this time they chose to go south after they were defeated in New Delhi. Instead of going north, their purpose is obviously to open up a base in southern India, rather than come to Northeast India to join us!"

Zhou Enlai was silent. He knew that even if Stalin was desperate, he would not take the team to northeastern India to join the South Asian Army of the Communist International.But the "Sino-Soviet alliance" is indeed the best way to break the deadlock at the Eighth World Congress of the Communist International.Once the Communist Party of the Soviet Union sided with the CCP, and the Red Army of the Soviet Union joined the Communist International Army, there was absolutely no way to prevent the CCP from reforming the Comintern based on the influence of small parties such as the Spanish Communist Party and the American Communist Party...

"Well, I have a way to try." Zhang Xueliang pondered for a moment, then said: "Now the Communist Party of the Soviet Union has come to an end, and the only one who can save them is us. But Comrade Stalin's misunderstanding of our party is too deep, I'm afraid he would rather die than come to us, but it doesn't mean that other high-level leaders of the CPSU are willing to be buried with him. When the Soviet Union fell, there were many traitors among the high-level CPSU!" He paused at this point , Reminding in a low voice: "Aren't we keeping in touch with the Executive Committee of the Communist International controlled by the Soviet Union through the Eastern Bureau of the Communist International?"

Zhou Enlai thought for a while, and asked back: "If the top leaders of the CPSU agree to join us, can you make Chiang Kai-shek lenient?"

……

Zhukov put the last piece of rusk in his hand into his mouth and chewed it carefully.This is the last dry food on his body, and it may be the last meal... Since the defeat at the city of New Delhi at the end of August, the real difficult days for the Red Army, or the top leaders of the Red Army, have come.

In Persia and Balochistan before, although the entire Red Army was also very difficult, for high-level officials like Zhukov and their families, the basic supply can still be guaranteed.After all, at that time, the reactionaries pursued more than suppressed them, and they just wanted to drive them away, but now they are really ruthless in suppressing them!Not only did they send a brigade of troops to chase after them, but they also set up a strong wall to clear the field on the site where the Red Army might pass through!All the crops in the field were burned, and all the villages were closely guarded by private armed forces supported by princes and landlords. The Soviet Red Army who was fleeing in a hurry had no time to break through these villages to obtain food.

Moreover, the weather in India is also a bit reactionary. It is already September, but the degree of heat has not weakened at all. The temperature under the sun during the day is always above 9 degrees Celsius!This temperature is deadly to the "Russian bears" who are used to the severe cold in the north.Along the way, people kept falling behind and getting sick, and there were more non-combat attrition than comrades who died in battle!Even the great leader Comrade Stalin has developed a high fever these two days, and he looks a little dazed.But Zhukov still gritted his teeth and ordered the troops to abandon most of the family members and the sick and wounded (of course the family members at the top cannot be abandoned) to speed up the march.Finally, on September 40, they temporarily got rid of the pursuers and entered the boundary of Madhya Pradesh, India.At this time, the Soviet Red Army's marching team was sparsely dragged out for more than ten kilometers, and no heavy weapons or luggage could be seen. At least half of the soldiers did not have a weapon in their hands, but leaned on a stick and wore tattered clothes. From a distance, it looks like an army of beggars fleeing from Russia.

Khrushchev, political commissar of the Second Guards Corps, ran back from the front with a stick.After more than ten days of hard marching, Khrushchev also became thinner.His face was a little solemn, and he whispered to Zhukov: "Georgi Konstantinovich, comrades Bukharin and Kruskaya want to talk to you, they are now in the Second Army campsite."

Zhukov swallowed the dried rusks he had been chewing for a long time, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll come right away." Khrushchev seemed to relax, and smiled, "Then let's go quickly, others Bukharin I have waited too long with Comrade Kruskaya." As he spoke, he dragged Zhukov forward.

The camp of the Red Army’s Second Guards Corps was in an abandoned ordinary Indian village. In the center of the village was a luxuriously decorated residence surrounded by low adobe bungalows, but there was no sign of Indian Asan. Of course, there is no food that can be swallowed.

The headquarters of Khrushchev and Chuikov were in the mansion of the landlord. On the second floor of the mansion, Zhukov saw Bukharin and Kruskaya who were tidy.The latter is the wife of the great leader Lenin!In history, she was probably the only political enemy Stalin dared not kill, and Kruskaya also had a very high prestige in the Soviet Red Army, which was at the end of time and space.

Zhukov walked up to Kruskaya and gave a respectful military salute, then nodded to Bukharin who was beside him.Just sitting on an empty chair, he noticed that there were many empty chairs like this in this room.In addition, he also found that Khrushchev actually left the room, and he didn't know where he went.

"Comrade Zhukov, Comrade Kruskaya and I invite you here mainly to learn about the next development direction of the Red Army." It was Bukharin who spoke, and he frowned and stared at Zhukov. "You are the chief of the general staff of the Red Army, you should have a solution, right?"

Zhukov sighed softly, the chief of staff is not God!The battle has come to this point, what else can we do?The big deal is to dedicate oneself to the cause of revolution.

"Could it be that the career created by Comrade Lenin was ruined by Stalin?" Of course it was Kruskaya who dared to say such a thing. Her voice sounded a little hoarse, and her bright eyes were bloodshot , There are tears in the corners of the eyes.Zhukov glanced at her and couldn't help but feel heartbroken, thinking that Mrs. Lenin must have been crying these days.He took a deep breath, forced a little smile, and said to Kruskaya: "The plan of the Red Army General Staff is to go south and open up a new revolutionary base in Andhra Pradesh or Madras."

Kruskaya sighed quietly, "This plan could have been realized, if Stalin hadn't suddenly wanted to attack New Delhi and seize the central government in India." Her voice was full of disgust at this point. "This man has completely ruined Lenin's career. What the tsar and the imperialism of the world failed to do has finally been accomplished in his hands!"

Zhukov lowered his head, not knowing what to say.In fact, he also has a little responsibility for the stupid move of attacking New Delhi.At that time, the Indian Army and the South Asian Army of the Comintern fought in eastern India, and they lost both sides. It seemed that it was a good opportunity to seize New Delhi in one fell swoop.So when Stalin made this suggestion, he did not raise any objections.But who would have thought that the Chinese reactionary Chiang Kai-shek would actually go to India as a military adviser, and he could mobilize the Muslim coalition forces to attack the Red Army...

"Comrade Kruskaya, things have not reached this point yet, we still have hope." Bukharin suddenly interjected: "Although our Soviet Red Army is at a low ebb, Chinese comrades and Indian comrades have defeated them not long ago. The Indian reactionaries have seized a large base area in eastern India. As long as we can unite with them, Comrade Lenin's cause will definitely be revived."

To be honest, Zhukov's heart moved when he heard this suggestion, but after thinking about it carefully, he still shook his head. "The Chinese will not really help us. They just took the opportunity to usurp the leadership of the Comintern and annex the Red Army."

"Then what should we do?" Kruskaya stared at Zhukov and asked, "Are we just waiting to be captured by the Indian reactionaries and killed in New Delhi?"

"Yes, Comrade Zhukov, we have joined forces with the Chinese comrades, and Lenin's cause may still be revived. If our entire army is wiped out here, there will be no hope!" Bukharin continued Kruskaya's words. Said: "The Communist Party of China is also the Communist Party after all! His purpose of obtaining the leadership of the Communist International is still for the world revolution and for the realization of communism throughout the world. On this point, they are consistent with us, so who will lead the Communist International?" There is no fundamental difference between countries."

"No! They are not communists, they are capitalist roaders!" Zhukov shook his head and said: "The six northern provinces of China led by the Communist Party of China are now implementing a capitalist system. Privatization and exploitation have been restored, and they He also gave up his plan to unify China with a revolutionary war, and instead cooperated with the Chinese Nationalist Government."

"Comrade Zhukov, you can't say it. The road taken by Chinese comrades is not the road of capitalism, but the road of socialism with Chinese characteristics." Bukharin glanced at Kruskaya, who echoed Said: "Comrade Bukharin and I have carefully studied the path taken by the CCP, and now we can basically confirm that it is a socialist path that conforms to China's national conditions." She looked at Zhukov peacefully, "Comrade Zhukov, We cannot make dogmatic mistakes when judging whether a country is a socialist country or a party is a socialist party. Instead, we must consider the actual situation of the country and see what the long-term goal of the party is.”

Zhukov smiled wryly and nodded. Political theory is too complicated, and he really can't figure it out. Now that Mrs. Lenin has said that the CCP is communism, so be it.

"Comrade Zhukov," Bukharin smiled when he saw that the time was almost up, and began to talk about practical issues. "Comrade Zhou Enlai of the Communist Party of China said in a telegram to me that after our two parties and armies join forces, Comrade Kruskaya, Comrade Stalin and I will all join the Executive Committee of the Communist International..."

"What! Stalin also joined the Executive Committee of the Communist International?" Zhukov was stunned for a while, and it took a long time to react. "Could it be that the CCP is trying to trick Comrade Stalin into killing..."

"Georgi Konstantinovich!" Kruskaya waved her hand and interrupted Zhukov. She said, "Why did the CCP harm Stalin? Do you think that a half-crazy Stalin is worth harming?" ?"

Her tone softened, and she looked at Zhukov and said, "After the reunion, our Communist Party of the Soviet Union and the Communist Party of China are both branches of the Communist International, and we must accept the leadership of the Communist International. However, both sides have three members in the Executive Committee of the Communist International. The CCP will send three comrades, Zhou Enlai, Mao Zedong, and Xiang Ying. There will also be Comrade Lui from India, Comrade Dimitrov from Bulgaria, and Comrade Ibaluli from the Spanish Communist Party. I am the chairman of the committee, and Zhou Enlai and Mao Zedong are the vice-chairmen.

In addition, our Soviet Red Army and the Comintern South Asian Army will also be merged into the Comintern Army, which will be directly led by the Comintern Military Committee.Comrade Zhou Enlai of the Communist Party of China is the chairman of the Military Committee of the Communist International. There are two vice-chairmen. Xiang Ying of the Communist Party of China is one of them. I want you to be the other vice-chairman. "

"Vice Chairman of the Military Committee of the Communist International... Do it for me!?" Zhukov stood up abruptly, with eager eyes, and looked at Kruskaya with a little more respect.

Bukharin smiled and took up the question. "Who else can give this position to you? The CCP's Zhou Enlai and Xiang Ying have not received formal military training, and they have no experience in commanding large corps. Therefore, the CCP wants us to recommend someone with rich experience in military struggles." Comrade Kruskaya and I have discussed this position, and I think it is most appropriate for you to take this position."

Zhukov stood at attention with a snap, and solemnly gave a military salute to Kruskaya: "Comrade Kruskaya, please give your order. The Workers' and Peasants' Red Army is waiting for your instructions."

There was a smile on the corner of Krusskaya's mouth, and she said with a faint smile: "Comrade Zhukov, you sit down first, Khrushchev is going to invite Comrade Timoshenko, they should be coming soon, we will come together Meet him."

At this time, reports from Khrushchev and Timoshenko came in from outside the door...

……

In the private parlor of Zhou Enlai in Shuncheng Emperor's Mansion in Beiping, the leaders of the Communist Party of China Zhou Enlai, Zhang Xueliang, Spain's "Flower of Passion" Ibaluli, the leader of the Bulgarian Communist Party Dimitrov, and the leader of the American Communist Party, White Lauder and a few others.A copy of the "Open Letter" just issued by the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, which was still on the Long March, was in their hands at this moment.

With a slight smile on his face, Zhou Enlai said to Ibaluri, the chairman of the Spanish Communist Party: "Comrade Ibaluri, this open letter from the Central Committee of the CPSU must have been received by your party through its own channels. Now the Soviet Union The Communist Party has already expressed open support for our party’s proposal, and has changed the designation of their Soviet Workers’ and Peasants’ Red Army to the First Front Army of the Communist International Army (the Far East Army was renamed the Second Front Army, and the South Asian Army was renamed the Fourth Front Army). Believe it It won’t be long before the first and fourth front armies of the Communist International Army will join forces in eastern India for victory.”

Ibalulli only had a wry smile in her heart. She was originally instructed by the Soviet Communist Party to cooperate with the CCP at the Eighth Congress of the Communist International.But now I don't know what happened to the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, and suddenly issued an open letter supporting the request of the Communist Party of China.All of a sudden, she was left here as a pawn.

She glanced quietly at the American Browder beside her. This guy didn't plan to join the Communist International any more, so he spoke with less scruples.Browder snorted softly, threw the open letter in his hand on the coffee table, and said with a sneer: "A palace coup! This kind of thing will never happen in a capitalist democratic country, but in the so-called communist camp ..." As he spoke, he shook his head and sighed: "Our American Communist Party will not change our position. If the 8th International Congress of the Communist International finally passes the proposal proposed by the Chinese Communist Party, then the American Communist Party will withdraw Comintern!"

Zhou Enlai looked at Browder, smiled slightly, and said, "Then we and the Communist Party of the Soviet Union can only express our regrets." Then he looked at Ibaloli, "What about the Spanish Communist Party? Comrade Ibaloli, are you going to do the same thing as the American comrades?" ?”

Ibalulli frowned and bowed her head in silence. The Spanish Communist Party was driven out of Spain by Franco's rebels, and now the main cadres are in exile in France and other Western European countries.However, after losing the World War, France has gradually embarked on the road of fascism, and it is estimated that the Spanish Communists will be expelled in a short time!Moreover, the source of funding for the Spanish Communist Party used to rely on the Comintern (Soviet Union), but after the Soviet Communist Party was defeated in Persia, it no longer had the power to support them.

At this time Dimitrov sighed softly, and interjected: "I think it's better to be like this. The Spanish Communist Party is still in the Comintern, but... the bill on the Comintern Army still needs to be revised. Otherwise, we Communist parties in Europe and America will be very passive. Besides, it is impossible for the current Communist International Army to really liberate Europe and America, right? I think the armed forces of the Communist Parties of various countries should join the Communist International Army voluntarily. Comrade Enlai , do you think it will work?"
