XLIII. Trip to Soviet Russia IX

Perhaps Trotsky felt that the feasibility of the North-Western Military Plan was very high, but the time frame for its implementation was very short, so he did not intend to leave Chiang Kai-shek in Moscow to continue to kill time? The day after the submission of the new North-Western Military Plan, the delegation was informed that Trotsky, chairman of the Revolutionary Military Council of the Soviet Union, would receive the members of the delegation in the Georgiev Hall of the Kremlin. The standard of this meeting is probably the highest standard in the Soviet Union at the moment, and the great revolutionary mentor Lenin has now suffered three strokes, and he is bedridden and unable to speak, so it is naturally impossible to meet anyone, except for Marx and his old man.

Located on the second floor of the Grand Kremlin, Georgiev Hall is the most famous hall of the Great Kremlin and is a masterpiece of architecture by Russian craftsmen. The hall is oval in shape, with 6 gilded two-branch chandeliers hanging from the dome. The dome and the surrounding walls are painted with huge murals of various war themes, and the costumes and weapons held by the characters in the paintings seem to have existed between the 15th and 19th centuries, and Luo Yaoguo estimated that the Russians won the war. In addition, there are 18 columns on the front of the hall, and the top of the column is filled with exquisite statues, which symbolizes what Luo Yaoguo does not know, but he heard Qu Ming whisper that it is a symbol of victory. Hehe, this hall is probably specially used by the tsar to declare war, right? Luo Yaoguo thought to himself: "Fortunately, Lao Maozi can't reach us now, and it's really not easy to be a neighbor with such a guy who paints murals of murder and arson everywhere in his house." ”

Trotsky was not tall, with somewhat curly hair and a goatee, but what impressed him most was his small eyes, hidden behind round lenses, but full of wisdom, which, with his high forehead and slightly messy goatee, made him look like a wise old man. Trotsky was actually not old, he had just turned forty-four this year, a golden age as a revolutionary, and his career was at the peak of his life. Of course, this was Luo Yaoguo's personal opinion, and everyone else in this hall thought that Trotsky's career could be taken to a higher level.

"Friends from China, welcome, on behalf of the Soviet people, the Union Political Axe, the Central Committee of the CPSU, the Revolutionary Military Council and Comrade Lenin." Trotsky smiled attractively and welcomed him in his high-pitched and powerful voice.

"The Revolutionary Military Council and I have carefully studied the North-Western Military Plan submitted by you, and I have to say that it is a very excellent plan, and in the present situation it is the only one that is feasible and likely to succeed, so the Soviet Political Axe and the Revolutionary Military Council have decided to support your plan. In addition, in response to your requests for aid in the construction of steel plants and the reconstruction of military factories, the Soviet political axe has also decided to give the greatest support. To this end, the Soviet government proposes that a joint committee should be set up between the two sides to promote the implementation of these projects, and the Soviet government is willing to provide a loan of no more than 5 million gold rubles for the purchase of Soviet industrial equipment. Probably with some interest in rubber from Hainan Island and Chinese textiles, Trotsky took the initiative to raise the loan to 5 million gold rubles. In fact, Trotsky's ideas were different from Stalin's, and in his mind, the Soviet people needed more clothes, shoes and hats. Therefore, he was very satisfied with Lu Ming's proposed repayment plan for exchanging light industrial products and rubber for Soviet industrial equipment. Trotsky paused and continued: "The Soviet Political Axe and Revolutionary Military Council has decided to provide 2 million gold rubles of gratuitous aid for the North-Western military program, but this money must be used with the participation of Soviet military advisers and Chinese GCDs. In addition, the Revolutionary Military Council of the Soviet Union also recommended that the political propaganda work of the Kuomintang be strengthened, and that a good newspaper would often be more effective than a thousand troops. ”

Listening to Trotsky's speech, Luo Yaoguo's heart can only be described as ecstatic, this is indeed a good beginning, oh no, this is the beginning of victory. Historically, it was not until around 1934 that the Kuomintang began to think about the construction of heavy industry, and formulated a heavy industry investment plan of 250 million legal currency, but half of the implementation made the invasion of Yu ruined. It should be noted that this is what Luo Yaoguo learned about on a certain island in his previous life, and the specific facts are unknown. And in this time and space, because of the wings of Luo Yaoguo's big butterfly, in mid-1923, China's heavy industry plan began to take off. Of course, that's just the beginning!

"On behalf of the Kuomintang and Premier Sun, I would like to thank the Soviet political axe and the Soviet people for their generous support, the Revolutionary Military Council and Comrade Trotsky for their help, and Comrade Lenin for his concern for China's revolutionary cause despite his illness. At this point, Chiang Kai-shek paused suddenly, then quietly looked at Trotsky, and when he saw that the other party's expression had not changed, he relaxed and continued to say compliments.

If this meeting had ended here, perhaps Chiang Kai-shek would have become friends with the Soviet Union and the GCD, and perhaps he would have joined the GCD with a hot head, but Trotsky's remarks before the end of the talks put Chiang Kai-shek back on the road of being an enemy of the Soviet Union and opposing the GCD in his life.

Trotsky pointed out in an unusually serious tone: "We believe that the fundamental purpose of the Kuomintang is to carry out a great and powerful movement of the Chinese people, so what the Kuomintang needs above all is the widest possible propaganda and organizational work." Our example is worthy of attention, and our military activities have been successful. Because many years have passed, and in these years we have organized and led our masses to build in this way a great and organized party throughout the country, a party capable of defeating all enemies. The entire Chinese nation will certainly see the difference between the Kuomintang, a broad and organized political party, and the military dictatorship in various regions of China. Ethnic groups in the country, such as the Mongols, Tibetans, and ethnic groups in western China, need to be clear that the KMT supports their right to self-determination. Therefore, you are not allowed to use force in these areas. That's some of the ideas I've taken into account on these issues. ”

Oh, my God! This Trotsky can't speak! One Outer Mongolia has seriously hurt the fragile heart of the Kuomintang, how can there still be "all nationalities in the country"! And "like the Mongols!" Tibetans and ethnic groups in western China"! Why should the Kuomintang support their right to self-determination? Why not allow the Kuomintang to use force in these areas! What is this? Without these western ethnic groups, would China still exist? Hum! Why did you, the Soviet Union, not allow the ethnic regions to decide on their own?

Hehe, the heart of this Soviet Union turned out to be even darker than Ben! According to Trotsky, the Kuomintang troops were not allowed to use force in Xinjiang, Tibet, Qinghai, Ningxia, Inner Mongolia, Guangxi, parts of Yunnan, the western part of Sichuan, and so on.

"Jiegong." Luo Yaoguo tightly pulled the corner of Chiang Kai-shek's clothes and reminded him softly in his ear: "Promise him quickly." "Now is not the time to turn against the Soviet Union, do you look at the pious appearance of Qu Ming? Chiang Kai-shek's self-cultivation kung fu is still not at home, and his face is scary, but Luo Yaoguo's expression is calm, and he is quite a bit moody and angry.

"Okay, okay, I'll convey the meaning of the Soviet Union to Premier Sun." Chiang Kai-shek finally regained his composure after being reminded by Luo Yaoguo, and reluctantly agreed to pass on Trotsky's words to Mr. Sun Yat-sen. Well, fortunately, the Kuomintang is not Chiang Kai-shek's master now, otherwise with the current strength of the Kuomintang, this person will definitely be the first to declare his intention to oppose the Soviet Union when he returns to Guangdong.

Chiang Kai-shek reacted that Trotsky didn't seem to see it, so I guess he was sluggish in this regard, right? Otherwise, he wouldn't have let Daddy Si rush to a foreign country and be executed in the end. (Not an assassination, it's a death sentence in absentia, and then someone is sent to kill!) Trotsky felt that the talks were going very well today, that the delegates of the Kuomintang were very sincere, that there seemed to be great hope for the victory of the Chinese revolution, and that the world revolution would certainly not be successful in a long time, so that it would be proved that Daddy S. was wrong about socialism in one country. Anyway, in his eyes, a newspaper is more effective than thousands of troops, so he can't use thousands of troops in his hands to defeat Stalin, then Pravda will not agree.

"Jiegong, our visit to Russia this time was very successful, and you must not turn your face against the Soviet Union because of Trotsky's last words, we are still too weak." In the toilet of the Kremlin banquet hall, the two [***] valves who had eaten their stomachs were chatting with their taps on again

After being enlightened by Luo Yaoguo for a while, Chiang Kai-shek's face looked a little better. Chiang Kai-shek forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, sighed softly and said: "Fuwen, a weak country has no diplomacy, I only really understand the bitterness of this sentence today." Hehe. Chiang Kai-shek smiled bitterly: "I understand your thoughts now, before we become strong, we can't be this family in China, whoever is in charge is unlucky!" ”

Listening to Chiang Kai-shek's words, Luo Yaoguo breathed a sigh of relief. "Jiegong, it's good that you can understand, unequal treaties and imperialist bullying are not something that can be solved by us with a word or a shout, all these problems depend on strength. Our country has a lot of people, and what is lacking is heavy industry, so we can only endure now. Fortunately, the Soviet Union is now hostile to the whole world, and although they have ambitions now, they will never dare to really send troops into our interior, so we still have time. In fact, since the Soviet Union was defeated by Poland, the Soviet Union's momentum for foreign expansion has been temporarily contained, after all, even the European soft persimmon has defeated the Soviet Union, and Trotsky, the chairman of the Revolutionary Military Council, has to re-understand the true combat effectiveness of the great Red Army.
