April 6, 1941, morning. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoUSSR. Moscow.

Early in the morning, all the people went into action. Families began to pack. In addition to the luggage, that is, a few books, the young man has already sorted it out and can leave at any time.

Master Lin and Liu Yalou came to the Comintern organs. The main person in charge was not there, and it was a minister who received them. When he heard that they were leaving, the minister said, "Why are you leaving?" So many people left together. ”

Liu Yalou is fluent in Russian, and said: "Discipline is being rectified in China, and some people have put forward opinions, saying that we are engaged in privileges, and we are fighting and dying in the front, but we are eating butter and bread here." There was a lot of pressure on the leadership at home because the Kuomintang was talking nonsense and we were very passive. You see, it's a newspaper. Public opinion is under a lot of pressure on us these days. ”

The minister said, "Then you don't have any contacts?" ”

Liu Yalou said: "Of course I stay." It's just that I have to go back temporarily and report the situation. In addition, when the country does not pay attention to it, our pressure is less, and we will send people back to study. ”

After explaining for a while, the other party was relieved.

Liu Yalou chatted with him for a while and said, "I heard that the Japanese recently came to a diplomatic mission? What are they here for? ”

The minister said: "We don't know about this. This is a matter for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. ”

Master Lin said: "Your Comintern is also very important, and you should know the situation on the diplomatic front. ”

The minister said: "Since the Japanese were defeated by us last time, they have been much more honest with us. ”

Master Lin said: "I don't think so, maybe they will make a move against the Soviet Union and form a situation of east-west attack." ”

The minister said: "You are a senior cadre, and this should be discussed with the Ministry of National Defense." ”

After talking for a long time, the two left, and on the way, Master Lin said: "This guy is flickering, he must know something and don't say it." I think there is something unfavorable to China in their talks. ”

Liu Yalou said: "Will the big brother of the Soviet Union betray China's interests? ”

Master Lin was silent.

Liu Yalou was silent.

In the evening, the Lin family, Master Lin, Wang Li, Liu Yalou, Lu Dongsheng, Yang Zhicheng, Li Tianyou, Zhong Chibing, and several young people held a meeting.

Yang Zhicheng's age is actually not too big, in his thirties, but he was born old-looking, Sun Weishi called him the old lady, and the old lady has become his nickname since then.

The youth representatives include Sun Weishi, Lin Lin, Lin Li, Li Te, and Sergei.

This was the first time Wang Li met Sergei. He was one of the few people that Xiao Lu had specifically mentioned in the telegram to him.

Sergei is the Russian name of Kian Ying, the eldest son of Duke Mao.

Most of the children who went to study in the USSR had Russian names.

The full name of a Russian generally consists of three parts: one's own civil capital, the first name plus the patronymic, and the last name.

Russians have a limited number of common names, but they are abundant and numerous. Nicknames or nicknames can be used for acquaintances or juniors. These titles are based on names, and a name can have several nicknames or nicknames. For example, Alexander, nicknamed Sasha; Alexey, nicknamed Alyosha; Sergey, nicknamed Seryosha.

So, if you are a more serious person, you may find out that a person has more than one name, Sergey, Seryosha.

Matter.

Wang Li has seen the photos of him, his younger brother and Zhou Gong, and the real person is a lot taller than the photos of the previous two years, and he is still wearing high-waisted felt boots, and the suit is a little smaller.

Now, Sergey is still studying at the International Children's Institute. Wang Li asked, "Anying, I heard that you are still the secretary of the Youth League?" ”

Sergei said: "Yes." I was in 1939. ”

Wang Li said: "How is learning? ”

Sergei said: "It's good to study. ”

Wang Li said: "Do you know our recent actions? ”

Sergei said: "Know, retreat." Actually, women and children can retreat, but if there is a war, young people like me should stay here and fight. I don't want to go back. ”

Wang Li said: "Commander-in-Chief Lu is the executor of this matter. He specifically told me that you were ordered to return to your home country and not to disobey orders. If you want to fight, there are many Japanese people in the country who can fight. ”

Sergey was silent.

Wang Li continued: "This time, you have to ensure the safe evacuation of Mother He and her younger siblings. This is the task. ”

Historically, after the outbreak of the Great Patriotic War in the USSR, Sergei resolutely demanded to enter the war. At that time, the Chinese and Soviet parties had an agreement not to allow Chinese children to serve in the military, but the Soviet side did not approve it. Later, he approached the deputy head of the General Political Department of the Soviet Army. The other party had no choice but to approve him to go to the military academy to study.

When he graduated in 1943, he received the rank of lieutenant and joined the Communist Party of Brazzaville. Soon after, he entered the Frunze Military Academy, where he served as a party representative in a tank company in the Red Army and participated in the battles against Belarus, Poland and the Czech Republic.

In January 1946, he flew back to China with doctors sent by the CPSU to Yan'an. Before leaving, Stalin met with him and presented him with a pistol, which he carried with him until his death.

Xiao Lu specially instructed Wang Li this time to withdraw him.

The meeting began.

Lin Lin first reported on the personnel situation in Moscow.

Except for some generals and cadres who are studying, and some generals and their families who are cultivated, the rest are children. Because the children have already taken three batches, there are only about 120 left, and all of them are counted, a total of 197 people.

Master Lin said: "Everyone, recall, is there anything missing?" ”

Everyone recalled and found five missing, a total of 202 people.

Then, the arrangement began, and each person did it in parts, and it was quickly implemented.

Wang Li said: "The soldiers of the Security Department I brought have been investigated clearly, and it is easier to buy a train ticket to the Far East." It's early spring, and it's still cold in the Far East. The only problem is that the road is not very safe, there are spies to sabotage. ”

Master Lin said: "At least twenty people in each batch, at least one soldier, at least one male student, and at least one female student. Walk as soon as you can. Try to walk as intensively as possible. The Comintern has already agreed, don't worry. ”

Yang Zhicheng said: "I calculated it, the money is enough, but I have to save money." First, guarantee the ticket first; Second, food should be guaranteed; Third, each team brings some money, just in case. ”

Master Lin said: "Let's think about it, if there is something to add, I will add it when we have a meeting tomorrow night." Without? Wang Li, Liu Yalou, Lu Dongsheng, Yang Zhicheng, Li Tianyou, and Zhong Chibing stayed, and the others dispersed and went back to work. ”

When the youth delegates left, Master Lin said, "Now let's hold a meeting to study the diplomatic trends of the Soviet Union and the Japanese." ”

Wang Li said: "I will first inform you of the relevant information that Yichun has. This is confidential information, and I ask you to keep it confidential. ”

Seeing everyone nodding, Wang Li said: "Since the defeat of the Battle of Nomenkan in 1939, the Japanese have been seeking peace talks with the Soviet Union, hoping to sign an agreement, on the one hand, so that Japan itself has no worries about advancing south, and on the other hand, it will test the attitude of the Soviet Union. Beginning in July 1940, talks between the two countries began at the initiative of Japan. The terms of the two companies were far apart, and at the end of August, the negotiations were interrupted. ”

"On September 27, 1940, diplomatic representatives of Germany, Japan, and Italy signed the Treaty of the Triple Alliance between Germany, Italy, and Japan in Berlin, the infamous Triple Pact, establishing a military bloc with the Berlin-Rome-Tokyo axis at its core. Subsequently, the Japanese Government devoted itself to the negotiation of a neutrality treaty between Japan and the Soviet Union, and Japan proposed a "Japan-Soviet Non-Aggression Pact." At the same time as Japan proposed the draft treaty, it appointed Army Lieutenant General Miji Kenkawa as its new ambassador to the Soviet Union to speed up the pace of negotiations. ”

On October 30, Jianchuan called on Molotov and submitted the "Plan for a Non-Aggression Pact between Japan and the Soviet Union" drafted by the Japanese Government. On 18 November, the Soviet Union presented the Draft Soviet-Japanese Neutrality Treaty and the draft Subsidiary Protocol. Negotiations were suspended again in mid-December. ”

"From March to April 1941, Japanese Foreign Minister Yoyo Matsuoka visited Europe, that is, to Germany, in an attempt to once again use the strength of Germany and Italy to promote the improvement of relations between Japan and the Soviet Union. They all passed through Moscow on the way back and forth, and made a special stop in Moscow to hold talks with Stalin and People's Commissar for Foreign Affairs Molotov. ”

"Today is April 7th. They are still negotiating. ”

"According to the information from Shinjing, Japan's conditions are: the two sides promise to maintain peaceful and friendly relations between the two countries, and respect each other's territorial integrity and inviolability; If one of the signatories becomes the object of war of one or more of the third parties, the other side remains neutral throughout the conflict, including the Soviet Union's refusal to assist China in resisting Japan. Demanded the rights of Kanbei Sakhalin, demanded guarantees from the USSR to respect the territorial integrity and inviolability of Manchukuo. ”

"The conditions of the USSR, the first few of which were the same as those of Japan, did not agree to the transfer of Sakhalin Island, demanded recognition of the territorial integrity and inviolability of Outer Mongolia."

"If there is an agreement on Sakhalin, then they will come to an agreement. That's our intelligence. ”

Master Lin said, "Tell me about the information you heard. ”

Liu Yalou said: "We have already met and summarized the information of several of us. At the moment, the Soviet side Molotov and Matsuoka Yoyo have negotiated several times. According to a person who was friendly with us, the atmosphere was congenial. There is also information that Stalin is said to have asked to meet Matsuoka Yoyo. That's all. ”

The venue fell silent.

Evening, April 12, 1941. Moscow.

Everyone is in a meeting, and now three groups have left Moscow, and the retreat is going well.

Liu Yalou hurried to the venue and said, "New information." The USSR and Japan have basically reached an agreement. Tomorrow the signing ceremony of the treaty will be held, in which Stalin will participate. The specifics are not yet clear. ”

Wang Li said: "That is to say, the Soviet Union recognized Manchukuo, while Japan recognized Outer Mongolia. Both of these places are Chinese land. China's interests were betrayed. ”

Master Lin said: "In the past few days, I have thought and thought again that if this agreement can enable the Soviet Union to avoid fighting on two fronts, then the situation of the Soviet Union against Germany will be more favorable. In this way, it is a good thing for the whole world to fight fascism. ”

Wang Li said: "Before I came, Mr. Lu analyzed: If we actively support this agreement, it will inevitably damage our legitimacy in the eyes of the Chinese people. This is something to consider. ”

In the evening, Wang Li sent a telegram of the progress of the work back to China.

Wang Li's telegram was reported directly to Xiaolu.
