In the living room of the official residence of King Zhongyi in Vladivostok, there were already many people sitting high and low.

There are foreigners and Asians. There are also a few familiar faces among them. Zhang Xueliang, the patriotic general who was accepted by the GCD of China, and Gu Shunzhang, the head of the Chinese G Special Branch, are among them. Everyone was talking about something in a whisper around a tall, but rather good-looking European. As the door of the living room was pushed open by the two of them. Everyone in the parlor stood up. Then I saw Wang Zhongyi walking in with a somewhat deliberate enthusiastic attitude, and walked straight towards Zhang Xueliang as soon as he entered the door. Said hello loudly: "Brother Han Qing, I said goodbye to Harbin that day, I really haven't met for a long time!" As he spoke, he looked at the extraordinary-looking European again: "This must be the famous Comrade Berzin, right?" ”

Zhang Xueliang smiled a little embarrassedly, pointed to the European and introduced: "This is Comrade Stalin's special envoy, and Comrade Bejijin, director of the Intelligence Department of the Soviet Workers' and Peasants' Red Army, is General Wang Zhongyi, and now he is also the commander-in-chief of the army in Vladivostok." ”

Comrade Berzin, on the other hand, just nodded politely and spoke fluent Chinese: "General Wang, Comrade Stalin has decided to forgive you for the mistakes of the Trotskyists in China, and you can also lend Ussuriysk and Vladivostok to you and your troops to station, if you can really help the Soviet Union eliminate Trotsky, the sinner!" ”

Berzin spoke out loud about Stalin's conditions and demands. His eyes were staring at Wang Zhongyi with a little threat. His words made it clear that what Stalin wanted was Trotsky's life!

Instead of letting this scourge go into exile again, Wang Zhongyi could "borrow" Ussuriysk and Vladivostok only by exchanging Trotsky's life. Otherwise what awaits him can only be the destruction of the Soviet Red Army!

But Wang Zhongyi's face was expressionless, although he had always hoped to sell Trotsky in exchange for a piece of domination, but when this goal was almost achieved, his mind calmed down. He was silent for a long time before he said slowly: "My plan must be completed with the cooperation of Moscow. Trotsky was now very cautious, he had a whole battalion of guards everywhere he went, and there was a division in Vladivostok where all the troops were made up of prisoners from the Kolyma Mountains, and Trotsky was like their father, and if I were to do it in Vladivostok, I would have to fight with them! In addition, the Japanese themselves supported Trotsky, and they had warships in the Golden Horn, and Trotsky could escape at any time on board the Japanese warships. ”

Belzin stared at Wang Zhongyi for a few moments, and said lightly: "Then how do you want the Soviet side to cooperate?" ”

"The Soviet Red Army must first retreat to the north of Ussuriysk, although Trotsky easily refused to leave Vladivostok, but after seizing such an important city as Ussuriysk, he still had to go to the front line to inspect and offer condolences, as soon as he left Comrade Berzin, Vladivostok, we could arrange for a group of Soviet Red Army assault troops to ambush on the road......"

"What!" Berzin waved his hand and interrupted Wang Zhongyi's words: "You mean to use the commandos of the Soviet Red Army?" So what are you going to do? ”

Wang Zhongyi shrugged his shoulders and grinned, "I can make your people appear in the right place at the right time." ”

In the book, Luo Yaoguo flipped through several reports sent by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, most of which were explicit hints from the ambassadors of Britain, France, Germany, Bō and other countries, and all of them were pointed at Trotsky, who was holding high the banner of the Revolution. Needless to say, the attitude of the British and French was a prerequisite for their support of the Romanov dynasty to support the Inverse International Agreement, and in their view, the first step in the restoration of the Russian Empire was for Grand Duchess Anastasia to be crowned empress in Vladivostok. Naturally, Ōbō followed Britain and France, and Pilsudski's handwritten letter was also sent to Luo Yaoguo's desk through the Bōlan Embassy in China. Hitler also hated Trotsky's regime, but because of his Jewish roots.

Now it seems that Britain, France and Germany have coordinated their positions on this issue and are ready to intervene in the Soviet civil war together, and this situation is not necessarily unfavorable to China, after all, their intervention will add fuel to the already very fierce Soviet civil war, and the future war of extermination of the Soviet Union will be easy to fight, but it is not without a little worry, that is, the dominance of interfering in the Soviet civil war will inevitably be transferred from the hands of China to the hands of Britain and France, and a large number of Japanese land forces will also land in Vladivostok as the main force of the intervention army.

There was a soft knock on the door, and Natalie said outside, "Fuwen, Miss Isha asks to see you."

Luo Yaoguo was stunned, he knew that Isha was Isha Nagata Isa, the beautiful spy of Natalie as an old enemy, and now Natalie would take the initiative to inform her, it seemed that there was really something big about it.

"Nata, please let her in."

The door was gently pushed open, and Natalie, who was holding a red lacquered tea tray, led Isha into the process slowly, both of them with a light gait, dignified and elegant, Isha was wearing a red sè court dress "like a doll with a combination of things and things, and Natalie was wearing an army dark green shirt "Xiōng is raised high in front of Xiōng, and she is wearing a tie, and her cuffs are also rolled up, lù out of a large area of snow-white skin, and her whole body exudes mature charm.

Natalie made two cups of tea, put one on the marble coffee table next to the sofa, invited Miss Isha to sit on the sofa, and placed another cup on Luo Yaoguo's desk. He stood behind Luo Yaoguo, still staring at Nagata Isha with a hostile gaze.

Luo Yaoguo picked up the teacup. , asked, "Miss Isha, are you still used to living in Wuhan?" ”

Isa Nagata nodded and said, "It's like being at home, thank you for taking care of the assistant marshal." Her big white and sharp eyes didn't seem to be fake.

Luo Yaoguo gently turned the tea cup in his hand, thought for a while, and said with a smile: "Does Mr. Nagata have any message for Miss to convey?" ”

"I really let you guess, it was my father-in-law who asked me to give you a message." Nagata Isa smiled shyly, although Luo Yaoguo and Natalie in this room both knew that she was a vicious beauty snake, "But Miss Isa is still very dedicated to her every move, word and deed to attract Luo Yaoguo.

After a while, Isa Nagata asked, "Auxiliary Marshal, you should know that Berzin, the head of intelligence of the Soviet Red Army, has secretly arrived in Vladivostok, right?" ”

Luo Yaoguo nodded slightly, Berzin flew from Beiping to Vladivostok on Wang Zhongyi's special plane two days ago, "Although China G has tried its best to keep it secret, it was still discovered by Kuomintang spies at Nanyuan Airport in Beiping, and the Japanese side should have found this special guest at Vladivostok Airport controlled by it." It is not known whether Trotsky was informed of Berzin's visit.

Luo Yaoguo put down the teacup and said: "After Berzin arrived in Vladivostok, he also met with Wang Zhongyi, but we don't know what they talked about, so I guess it's me who wants to betray Trotsky to Stalin, right?" What does Mr. Nagata think about this? ”

Isa Nagata nodded lightly and said with a smile: "At least at this stage, we agree with Mr. Stalin, the existence of Trotsky has become a stumbling block to the progress of our cause, and with him in Vladivostok for a day, the Reich cannot openly send a large number of troops to intervene in the Soviet civil war." Not only was the Imperial Army unwilling to support a revolutionary under the banner of GCISM, but even Trotsky himself did not want the army of an imperialist country to openly set foot on the territory of the Soviet Union...... This strange thinking of his has put us in a very awkward position. So the Reich was still happy with the disappearance of Mr. Trotsky.

It's just that after Trotsky's disappearance, the Reich did not want the Soviet Far East to return to Stalin's hands, and Japan did not want to see Wang Zhongyi and Stalin reach some kind of compromise. In addition, in order to maintain the state of civil war in the Soviet Union, the Reich hopes to send about 100,000 troops into the Far East of the Soviet Union, and hopes to obtain your understanding. ”

Listening to Nagata Isa finish saying Nagata Tieshan's suggestion, Luo Yaoguo just nodded noncommittally and said lightly: "Got it." He picked up the teacup and made a gesture to send off the guest.

As soon as Nagata Isa left, Luo Yaoguo's uncle, Luo Yiqun, who had been transferred to the elder brother of the National Government, went to his nephew's house to visit the door. This Uncle Luo was very busy in the Executive Yuan before, and he couldn't see Luo Yaoguo a few times throughout the year.

It said that their uncle and nephew were embarrassed for Jiān, which was really a great wrong. However, now that Luo Yiqun has become the most idle brother of the National Government in the National Government, he often walks around Beilu and begins to plot with his nephew to start important military affairs.

When Luo Yiqun arrived at Beilu, it was dusk, "Luo Yaoguo invited him to Houhuā Garden, saying that he wanted his uncle and nephew to have a good drink."

The back huā garden of Beilu is not big, but it is the height of summer, and the huā garden is full of beauty, and the fine grass under the feet is like a blanket, which is refreshing.

In the gazebo, a Western-style grill built by Natalie was erected, and on the stone table, there were a few servings of fruit sèla and French soup, and a few bottles of Qingdao beer chong with ice, this Qingdao beer chong was originally a joint venture between German and British businessmen, and was later acquired by the company in Japan, and was acquired by the national government for 500,000 legal currency after the Shandong War in 1 habitual year, and now it has become a listed company, and most of the shares are controlled by Jiangsu and Zhejiang businessmen in Shanghai. On this hot summer day, "drinking cold beer and eating bō Lan style French Western food is also unique."

However, when Luo Biqun saw the blonde Natalie fiddling with all kinds of food and tableware there, he couldn't help frowning slightly, Natalie's cooking skills are far inferior to making tea and coffee, and her bōlan-flavored French food is as weird as it is in the eyes of Luo Yiqun, who is used to Cantonese food. Especially the almost half-baked steak...

"Uncle, just now the representative of Nagata Tetsuyama told me that they want to send troops directly to the Far East after getting rid of Trotsky to intervene in the Soviet civil war, and the scale of the first batch of troops may reach 100,000 people!" Luo Yaoguo drank cold beer and explained the intention of Nagata Isha in detail.

Luo Yiqun shook his head slightly, and said earnestly: "Fuwen, the career you have to do is not easy, but you must also be careful of all aspects of the hidden arrows, both international and domestic, for example, the last Youth Army incident almost became a catastrophe, you are now secretly communicating with the day himself, if it is known by outsiders, maybe how to take the opportunity to make trouble!" After saying this, Luo Yiqun sighed again: "100,000 Japanese troops are going to land in Vladivostok, but I'm afraid they don't have any good intentions!" Will Wang Zhongyi's people be squeezed out at that time? ”

Luo Yaoguo smiled slightly and said: "If that's really the case, let the day himself go to fight Stalin, and let's sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight." I'm afraid that those "day" devils are not so stupid! ”

Luo Yiqun nodded, and his face softened: "You, you like to do this kind of business with the tiger." But can you collude with the Japanese themselves, and they can't collude with Stalin in the first place? Don't think that there is no such possibility, I discussed this matter with Wang Zhaoming, and it is very difficult to say about the matter of the day himself, and the people in power such as Ugaki Issei and Nagata Tieshan may still know some of the severity, but it is not easy for others to say...... The Japanese nation is very short-sighted, they do not see long-term interests, they only want to be happy in the moment.

If Stallinken had paid his blood, perhaps he would have sold Trotsky and Wang Zhongyi together. ”

Luo Yaoguo pondered for a while, then turned his head and asked Natalie, who was fiddling with the steak: "Natalie, what do you think?" Was it possible for Stalin to compromise with the Japanese himself? ”

Natalie smiled faintly: "Except for Trotsky and the Tsar, Stalin could compromise with any enemy, including, of course, the Japanese capital. ”

Luo Yaoguo said in a deep voice: "There is still us, Stalin will never compromise with us!" ”

Luo Yiqun nodded slightly, and said: "Fuwen's words are correct, then you can tell me again, if Japan gets south of the Amur River and east of the Ussuri River and then forms an alliance with the Soviet Union, do we have any countermeasures?" ”

Luo Yaoguo was silent, he was afraid that the "China" country would still take the "Japan" book before defeating the Soviet Union, not only would it be impossible to send troops to fight with the "Japan" country, but they would continue to appease the "Japan" book, so as not to stab the "China" country in the back when the "China" country attacked the Soviet Union! Of course, Japan would have lost Britain's support because of its collusion with the Soviet Union, and a Japanese company abandoned by Western society would not be able to get involved in the colonies of Britain, the United States, and the Netherlands in 1939. Such a weaker Japan will become a tool for Britain and the United States to contain China!

Luo Yiqun sighed again: "It seems that we are still one mountain and two tigers in the same day!" Therefore, the Japanese family could not be allowed to intervene in the Soviet civil war alone. ”

"Uncle means joint interference?" Luo Yaoguo's eyes widened suddenly, slapped the stone table, and laughed: "It's really high!" Let Britain, France, Germany and us all send troops together, at least let Germany and Bō Lan send troops, plus we and the "Japan" are the four ** teams holding each other down, if the "Japan" dare to have a second heart, it will not be able to get along with the other three countries! ”

Luo Yiqun nodded: "It's best to let Britain and France also send troops, even if it's a symbol of xìng." With their signboards, the day did not dare to have dissenting intentions. ”

"But the premise is that the Romanov dynasty is restored in Vladivostok and is diplomatically recognized by Britain, the United States, France and other powers." Natalie, who was fiddling with steak on the side, reminded.

At the same time as a series of conspiracies were unfolding around the fate of Vladivostok and the entire Trotskyist Red Army. The offensive and defensive battle in the Shedanka Mountains also seems to have been decided. The frenzied offensive of the Soviet Red Army, after exceeding a certain limit, also came to an end. After paying for almost a hundred thousand casualties. The Soviet Red Army's hoarding of war materials and ammunition has basically been exhausted, and the materials transported through a railway of tens of thousands of kilometers are really a drop in the bucket, and they cannot support the continuous operation of the 500,000-strong army. Budyonny looked bitterly at the position on the front line of Shedanka Mountain, which had sacrificed too much. Finally the order was given to shrink. The army, which had been battling for months and had been battered for months, was to shrink to the north of Ussuriysk to build a defensive line and wait for reinforcements and supplies to arrive from the western regions of the Soviet Union. Finally, this time Stalin did not stubbornly demand that this army exhaust all its energy on the enemy's Shedanka line, otherwise what awaited them would be a rout, not an orderly retreat!

On the sixty-sixth day after the start of the Battle of Shedanka, the commander of the Far Eastern Front of the Soviet Workers' and Peasants' Red Army, Budyonny, finally gave the order to withdraw on all fronts of the Far Eastern Front. The Soviet Red Army was unwilling to shrink one after another. Leaving behind the battlefield that had been beaten into an asura-like field, "and thousands of rotting and stinking corpses, retreated north.

And Lin Yurong stood on a high ground, holding a telescope and watching the contraction of the Soviet Red Army. He could not forget this bloody battle that lasted for 66 days. This is a general battle in which the offensive and defensive sides have mobilized a total of more than 800,000 people! At least 100,000 men were lost in the battle, and about the same number of soldiers were seriously wounded or missing, and the battle cost both sides dearly, but the victor was undoubtedly on their side! Lin Yurong finally put down the binoculars in his hand, and the yellow-skinned or white-skinned officers around him who had experienced a hard battle with him also surrounded him with a smile.

Lin Yurong let out a long breath and said to Tang Yao beside him: "Stalin doesn't have the strength to attack again this year, let's drag on for another year, maybe everything will change next year, right?" As he spoke, he glanced at Tang Yao meaningfully, put down his binoculars, turned around and walked towards his headquarters.

Tang Yao looked at the devastated battlefield but smiled bitterly, and said to himself in an inaudible voice: "Maybe I will be a marquis next year, right?" Anything can happen in this world. ”！。
