Iron Wing Eagle*

It is clear that the Soviet Union today is no match for the Chinese Federation, and therefore large-scale war is not the orientation of Soviet politicians. But at the same time, they don't mind causing some trouble for the rest of the world.

This was what Stalin really had in mind, but it was somewhat difficult to realize. Because his mentor, Lenin, was not very willing to enter into any conflict with the Chinese Federation at this time.

Or it could be said that Lenin was, in a sense, a pro-Chinese faction. It is true that Tang Yunyang's marriage to the Russian tsarist family took advantage of Russia's defense against Western invasion to take back Mongolia by the strongest means, and they received most of the wealth of the Kazan treasury from Kolchak.

These have left some shadows in the hearts of today's Soviets. When Red Russia was first established, material scarcity also made them endure this hard life while often cursing the treacherous and cunning "Satanic Eagle".

These events were also recognized by most of the new politicians in the Soviet Union, so the pro-Chinese faction in the Soviet Union was suppressed considerably.

Stalin had a diametrically opposed attitude to his mentors in his approach to the Chinese Federation. In his "vision", the confrontation between the Soviet Union and the European side, because of ideological problems, will inevitably arise in the future.

On the other hand, the pro-China faction believes that because the "Chinese Federation" is an open system that only talks about "purpose" and ignores "ideology", it should be the best country in the world to get along with. Of course, at the same time, because of their strong military power and attitude towards interests, they are also the most difficult countries to get along with. Therefore, what they advocate is to have dealings with the Chinese Federation, which should be carried out in a more moderate way.

This attitude was unacceptable to "tough" figures such as Stalin.

In the spring, there was no feeling of spring blooming for the Soviet Union. Tell the land of the Arctic Circle that it is even icy and snowy at this time. Stalin had a fondness for the weather. The harsh winter months are a test for the weak-willed. But for his strong granite will, it is a time to clear the mind and facilitate contemplation.

He was wearing a thick military fur coat, a leather hat on his head, and several layers of dry footcloth wrapped in boots under his feet. This outfit allows him to stay warm enough when he is "sleeping in the open". A chaise longue has been set up on the drying platform where he "sleeps" for him to use every solitary night.

Lying on the chaise longue, Stalin, whose breathing began to ease up, was like a cocoon.

Although it was cold in the Soviet Union at this time, the relatively good environment made the sky look so deep and brilliant on a clear night. Countless stars dot the night sky like black velvet. In the cold wind, the stars shine like translucent emeralds.

"How splendid!"

Hiding in a cramped recliner, Stalin lay on his back and looked at the sky with his eyes, hidden in the dark. His gray-steel-colored eyes, as if all the stars were burning in his eyes, shimmered with starlight.

"The Chinese Federation will be the most important enemy of the Soviet state, and no matter how we want to compete with the European powers in the future, without a pro-Soviet Chinese Federation, then the Soviet Union may at any time fall into the danger of fighting on two fronts. But the Chinese Federal Republic ...... It's a place that's run by a bunch of people who only focus on profit, and we ......."

The wind brought more chill and kept Stalin's heart, which burned with the majestic fire of his beloved homeland, calm.

“…… With all the strength of the Soviet Union now, although it is possible to win the war with the Chinese Federation. But once the Western countries take advantage of our conflict with them and suddenly attack, then ......"

The stars in the sky still felt the murderous aura emanating from Stalin, and they seemed to begin to tremble.

"Comrade Lenin, though he was in favour of a rapprochement with the Chinese Federation, would certainly be able to understand my concerns, and if he could approve, the export of the revolution to Spain would be more acceptable. Moreover, there will be more return of the armed forces. If we can respond to the request of the King of Spain and send a considerable number of armed forces to the Spanish side......"

Yes, what would happen to the international situation if war broke out on the Spanish side? If it is a war, then who will fight which war on Spanish soil and with whom?

These questions were entangled in Stalin's mind, forming an obscure mystery.

"Then will Comrade Lenin understand as if he were taking place in the world?"

With this constant thought, Stalin's eyelids gradually became heavy, and the brilliant starry sky in the sky gradually lost its light in his mind, and he fell asleep.

At the same time, there were several people in the USSR who did not sleep because of this incident.

First and foremost, there was also the mentor of Comrade Stalin, Lenin.

From his chair, he listened to the clear radio from the Chinese Federation. Just like what "Your Majesty the Melon Seeds" heard was exactly the same, it was no different.

"The King of Spain has completely fallen into the trap, and now they have asked us for asylum as planned. So how can we act to achieve more benefits? Another question is, if we send troops to Spain, will we be interfered with by other countries? If Germany or Sweden were to make it difficult for us, then our troops would have to start from Murmansk, detour from the Barents Sea to the Greenland Sea and then into the Atlantic...... It's a long route, and I fear that if the Chinese Federation were to play against us in Spain, it would be quite difficult for us to replenish it. And because they have a well-established air route, they will not be affected substantially at all.

Now that the Chinese Federation will send special forces to Spain to arrest the Spanish emperor and stand trial in the Chinese Federation, do we need to let His Majesty Alfonso the 13th come to the Soviet Union, but in that case, because of his status as emperor, will he be hindered by some opposition forces in the country? ”

Thinking of all this, Lenin couldn't help frowning, the international situation was turbulent, and unpredictable changes would take place at any time. Now that the Soviet Union has been temporarily stabilized, the imposition of "collective farms", although it has caused dissatisfaction among some people, is generally within the range that the common people can bear.

At the same time, after the "Third International" was declared a terrorist organization by the "Chinese Federation", the international communist movement was somewhat suppressed, and now the USSR is trying its best to export the revolution to Europe. The advantage of this was that the internal turmoil in the European countries would delay their attack on the Soviet Union, and at the same time give the Soviet Union more time to prepare.

"Now, it's time for the Europeans to prepare for war...... I would like to see how they will cope with the emergence of a red regime in Spain! ”

International politics is absolutely a matter of such complexity that people scratch their heads, especially the issue of starting a full-scale war. Now believe that there are still a few months left before the start of the war, and believe that no matter how the war begins, how it acts, preparations have now begun on all fronts.

The Soviets would use the pretext of protecting King Alfonso 13 of Spain by sending some military personnel to Spain, although they would not necessarily join the conflict directly. Their main task would be to establish a Soviet-style "Bolshevist" state throughout Spain.

According to this purpose, "His Majesty Alfonso 13" will be connected to the territory of the Soviet Union. This was once the plan. But now that the Chinese Federation has announced that it will capture this king, is the possible war on the Spanish side with them? If that were the case, would it lead the war to the newly established and not very stable interior of the Soviet Union?

In particular, if the Chinese Federation had been bold enough to send troops into Soviet territory to capture the emperor, what would the confrontation between China and the Soviet Union begin? In addition, the British were not necessarily willing to establish a "red regime" on the Spanish side because of Gibraltar's interests.

So will Britain, which was already very hostile to the Soviet Union, use a regular army to confront the pro-Soviet faction within Spain? If this is the case, then will the USSR, which was not yet strong in the navy, have to confront the powerful navy of the British in the Atlantic.

"No ......!"

Lenin, who had thought for a long time, shook his head, he had already denied a regular war that Stalin wanted to fight.

"To pay such a price for Spain would probably be the most unbearable painful experience for great Soviet Russia. However, there may be another fairly strong army at its disposal, if that is the case...... Perhaps, I should go to the Crystal Palace and visit that Mike. President Lang! ”
