Shanghai Bund, Hongqi Jewelry Company.

This is the property of GC International, with a shopping mall selling Russian jewelry and art on the first floor, and a vault and offices on the second floor. The jewelry business on the first floor is very prosperous, and when it is open every day, it is full of Chinese and foreign high-rollers who spend a lot of money, while the second floor is where customers stop, and all transactions, no matter how large the amount, can only be completed at the counter on the first floor, and the Soviet manager of the Hongqi Jewelry Company will never invite customers to the office on the second floor for a cup of tea.

Although the attitude of the managers and clerks here is a little arrogant, Hongqi Jewelry's business has not been affected in the slightest, and it firmly occupies the position of China's largest jewelry and art company.

The reason is that among the jewelry and artworks sold here, it can be said that there are many fine products, almost all of which are collected by the suppressed Russian aristocrats and capitalists, and the prices are relatively fair, and more importantly, they will never buy fakes in the Hongqi Jewelry Company...... The treasures sold here are at stake in the credibility of GC International and the Soviet Union, so each one has been carefully appraised by the experts in the Gulagli's custody.

"Comrade Lesinskaya, you really have some talent for doing business, and under your management, the turnover of the jewelry company last month doubled compared to the same period last year!"

In the office on the second floor, the head of the GC International delegation to China, Miff, said with a smile on his face to the new manager of Hongqi Jewelry, Natalie Lesinskaya.

"This is not the credit of me alone, but mainly the result of the joint efforts of my comrades." Leshinskaya nodded at Miv: "In addition, the fact that Hongqi Jewelry Company's business is so prosperous now has a lot to do with Shanghai's free trade and low taxes. According to my survey. Hongqi Jewelry's jewelry and art sold in Shanghai were mainly destined for the United States and Europe, and Shanghai has now become a trading center for East Asia and the Western Pacific. I think we should make better use of this trade center. ”

As she spoke, Leshinskaya pulled out a stack of essays from her desk drawer. Handed it to Miff.

"This is ......" Miff took Wen Jiàn and glanced at it, and his face suddenly showed an ecstatic expression, it turned out that this was a contract signed with the United Chemical Manufacturing Company of the United States to help build a pharmaceutical factory! Chemical pharmaceuticals were a weak point of the Soviet industry, and among the orders issued by the GC International to the missions in various countries was the task of procuring chemical and pharmaceutical equipment. But after a few more glances, the smile on Miff's face was gone. "The factory is being built in Shanghai? Comrade Lesinskaya, who the hell are you? ”

Leshinskaya giggled twice: "My comrade Miff. Don't you know that capitalists can do anything in order to make high profits? Please turn to the last two pages of the contract, where there is a supplementary agreement. According to the provisions of the supplementary agreement, if the pharmaceutical factory cannot be established in Shanghai. We were able to relocate the plant, and Allied Chemical Manufacturing had to help us build the pharmaceutical plant on the site we reselected...... Of course, this is just a cover-up, and I have already spoken to Mr. Yamonhammer, the owner of the United Chemical Manufacturing Company. The plant will be built on the territory of the Soviet Union. All equipment and U.S. engineers will arrive in Shanghai first. And then transshipment to the USSR. ”

Miff glanced at the blond, blue-eyed, and curvaceous Polish stunner opposite, and the picture of this Polish beauty making out with an old-fashioned American capitalist came to mind: in fact, Yamonhammer was a young man in his twenties, and he was still a red capitalist who was good at doing business with GC countries.

Although he was thinking about dirty things in his head, Comrade Miff's face was still serious. He nodded and said: "Comrade Lesinskaya, I will immediately report back to Moscow on what you have achieved." In addition, Moscow also explained one more thing. There is a batch of important equipment to be shipped to the Soviet Union through China, which is the equipment used to build a tractor factory, and I would like to ask you to come out. Personally escorted this batch of equipment to Chita, the capital of the Far Eastern Republic. ”

Lesinskaya's beauty frowned slightly. Equipment for the production of tractors can also be used to produce tanks! Therefore, the Chinese strictly forbade the export of relevant equipment or re-export to the Soviet Union through guò China. However, the strict prohibition of the Chinese is not without loopholes, on the one hand, there are still many unknown "tacit understandings" between the Chinese authorities and the Soviet Union and GC International; On the one hand, the plain of their customs officers is not high. I don't know the purpose of various machines and equipment, and it's easy to be bought! Breaking through joints and exploiting policy loopholes is indeed Lesinskaya's forte, but will Chita be at any risk after she goes? Recently, the news in the Soviet Union has not been good, and everyone who has anything to do with Dzerzhinsky has become suspected of counter-revolutionaries......

While Leshinskaya was hesitating, Miff seemed to have her thoughts: "Comrade Skryansky, Chairman of the GC International Executive Committee, will meet you in Chita, and he will personally ask you questions about the connection between Chang Ruiqing and the earthquake that you have submitted. ”

Chang Ruiqing and the big earthquake? Lesinskaya's heart skipped another beat. There was nothing of value mentioned at all in her report to GC International, and how could there be anything that Skryansky was so busy with and forgot about it after estimating? This Miff must be lying!

"Well, I see, Comrade Miff, when should I go?"

Miff's eyes narrowed into a line, and he looked at Leshinskaya carefully: "Of course, the sooner the better, the construction site of the Trotskygrad Tractor Plant is waiting for the arrival of this important batch of equipment." Moreover, Comrade Skryansky also hopes to meet you as soon as he returns to Chita after his visit to Japan, and his time is very tight. ”

……

Skryansky, chairman of the GC International Executive Committee, arrived at the port of Yokohama, Japan, on February 924, aboard the destroyer Red October of the Soviet Far East Fleet (home port in Nikolaevsk). He was accompanied by two important figures from the German GCD and the Polish GCD, who came to Japan for the public purpose of attending the founding ceremony of the Japanese Soviet Socialist Republic!

On the pier of the Port of Yokohama. A group of Soviet diplomats headed by Troyanovsky had been waiting for him here for a long time. The representative of the Japanese side is naturally the 65-year-old Comrade Katayama Qian, chairman of the Japanese g. On the wharf, reporters from various media outlets were crowded with people. Although Japan is now determined to take the socialist road, the Iron Curtain has not yet been lowered, and foreign journalists, businessmen, and members of the Red Cross Society can still enter and leave Japan relatively freely. The only thing that makes people feel a little strange is that the docks are surrounded by heavily guarded Japanese Red Army soldiers, and there is no welcoming crowd, don't the working people of Japan welcome the leaders of GC International to visit Wèn?

But Skryansky knew what was going on. In Chita, he had already received reports of rampant counter-revolutionary activities in Japan! After the successful overthrow of the Saionji traitorous group. The Japanese GCD will have to face all kinds of contradictions and all kinds of class enemies in Japan! Especially after the news spread on the 24th of the month that Tokyo Dazhen and the Japanese Soviet Socialist Republic were about to open, it turned out that many "fellow travelers" of the Japanese GCD seemed to be turning into enemies! In particular, the Japanese Soviet Socialist Republic is not an empty signboard. The leaders of the Japanese GCD are really determined to take the socialist road, and in order to take the socialist road, it is necessary to carry out social transformation of Japan, including economic transformation and political purge, so that conflicts between the Japanese and the middle and upper classes of Japanese society are inevitable. And the upper-middle class in Japan. Most of them belonged to the samurai class of old Japan!

Now the members of this class are already referred to as "counter-revolutionary samurai" in the internal text of the Japanese GCD! However, the action of the Japanese to suppress the counter-revolutionary samurai class was not as smooth as expected. Although after the Meiji Restoration. From a legal point of view, the samurai class in Japan no longer exists, but the spirit of bushido has been continuously promoted by the government of the Japanese Empire, making it deeply rooted in the hearts of every Japanese man! As for those Japanese whose ancestors were genuine samurai, they are full of the bushido spirit of "not wanting to die" and "wanting human life"!

In order to better understand the actual situation of the Japanese revolution and the reactionary ideas of the Japanese counter-revolutionary samurai class. On the way to Japan, Skryansky was reading a Russian version of the "Book of Hagakure", which is the bible of the Japanese spirit of bushido, according to Skryansky's reading experience, the core of the so-called Japanese spirit of bushido is a "death" word! It is to die decisively, without nostalgia, without hesitation. The spirit of bushido fundamentally denies ordinary people's attachment to life. thinks that only death is sincere, and all other fame and fortune are dreams...... The spirit of bushido is to first mentally overcome the fear of death (or the fear of a qiē). Only then can we overcome others. You can "not want your own life" before you can "want the life of others".

If one-tenth of the millions of members of the counter-revolutionary samurai class in Japan can meet the requirements of Hagakushi's book, then being a security fighter in Japan is really the most dangerous job in the world! The suppression of the reactionary samurai class in Japan became an extremely difficult task. If this task is not accomplished, then there will be no way to talk about socialist construction in Japan......

By the time Skryansky stepped out of the ship with steady steps, his face was already filled with solemnity and worry. Katayama seemed to notice this, and when the two shook hands and embraced, Katayama said to Skryansky in fluent Russian: "Welcome, Comrade Skryansky. I hope that after your visit to Japan, you will report to Comrade Trotsky about the actual situation here, and I am sure that he will be able to guide us in solving this difficult problem at present. ”

Skryansky smiled and replied in a low voice: "I also trust that Comrade Lotsky will definitely show us the way, Japan is an important part of the world revolution, so we will do our best to help Japan solve the difficulties." Then, accompanied by Katayama, he shook hands with the Japanese GCD executives who came to Yokohama to greet him, and finally got into the car of the Soviet embassy and went to the Soviet embassy in Tokyo under the protection of the Japanese Red Army.

The Soviet Embassy in Rokimoto, Tokyo, was one of the most heavily guarded of all foreign embassies in Japan, as it was already an important target for the "counter-revolutionary terrorist samurai" (the Japanese word for anti-G Japanese terrorists). Therefore, Takeda Heng, who was loyal to the Soviet Union, mobilized a large number of Red Army soldiers to defend the Soviet embassy.

In a meeting room somewhere on the second floor of the embassy. Skryansky was holding a piece of Russian coffee, and a patrol of Japanese Red Army soldiers outside asked Troyanovsky: "How is the current shape compared to Russia after the October Revolution?" Did the Japanese counter-revolutionary samurai have any strong organization to lead them? Will Xiyuan Temple Gongwang and Kita Yihui use these people to fight back? ”

This litany of problems had long been anticipated by Troyanovsky. "There is not much comparison between the shape of Japan today and that of Russia after the October Revolution. Because the Japanese GCD succeeded in seizing power by taking advantage of the national crisis and the internal contradictions of the Japanese ruling class, the Japanese GCD itself did not have deep roots. There are not many supporters even among the working class and poor peasants in Japan. In fact, the most powerful supporters of the Japanese g were a group of former Japanese army and navy officers who were unwilling to allow Japan to become a second-rate country in Asia, and they were also members of the samurai class. And after the 24th Great Rebellion, these people were a little detached from Germany with the same day, and this situation was very dangerous for the Japanese revolution! ”

Skryansky was stunned for a moment and asked rhetorically, "What do you mean...... Was it wrong to suppress the samurai class in Japan? ”

Troyanovsky was silent for a moment and replied: "Comrade Skryansky. This is not my point of view, but the opinion of Comrade Takeda Heng, General Political Commissar of the Japanese Red Army. At present, there are two opinions within the Japanese G, and the leaders of the Red Army, represented by Takeda Heng, Kato Ken, Kato Hiroshi and others, all believe. The policy of suppression of the samurai class in Japan needs to be changed. The leaders of the Japanese GCD, led by Ken Katayama and Sanzo Nosaka, insisted on the complete suppression of the Japanese samurai class, believing that the Japanese samurai class was a stumbling block hindering the progress of Japanese society and must be completely eliminated, otherwise Japan would not be able to become a truly socialist country. ”

"Oh." Skryansky nodded noncommittally. Troyanovsky glanced at him. And in a low voice: "Comrade Skryansky." At present, the comrades of the embassy in Japan all regard Takeda Heng as a great revolutionary, and I would like to ask you to talk to him individually, so that we may be able to find a solution to the difficult problems facing the Japanese revolution. ”

"Talk alone?" Skryansky asked lightly: "Has Comrade Takeda Heng already arrived at the embassy?" ”

"Yes." Troyanovsky replied in the affirmative: "He is waiting for your reception in my office." ”

"Okay, please come over, I'm also interested in this young North Korean GCD."

……

"Vasily?"

Leshinskaya would never have imagined that she would meet Zhang Guotao in this office of the customs office in the Shanghai Customs Building.

Today, she came to Shanghai Customs to handle the import customs clearance procedures for a number of important machinery and equipment, of course, several of the key equipment are prohibited from being exported to the Soviet Union! But Leshinskaya did not think that Lieutenant General Zhang Guotao, who was the director of China's National Intelligence Agency, had come to see her at customs for such a trivial matter. So she quickly regained her composure and asked with a smile, "Director Zhang." Do you have something to do with me? ”

Zhang Guotao waved at the two bodyguards beside him and asked them to guard outside the office. When they closed the door, he smiled slightly: "Comrade Leszynskaya, I came to meet you on the commission of Comrade Dzerzhinsky, didn't Comrade Dzerzhinsky send someone to inform you?" ”

As soon as Zhang Guotao's words came out, Lesinskaya's heart trembled. She had heard the name of "Stalin's Dzerzhinsky counter-revolutionary clique" a long time ago, and she also knew that Trotsky had regarded this counter-revolutionary clique as a serious danger, and that within the Soviet intelligence system, anyone who had something to do with Dzerzhinsky was a suspected counter-revolutionary, and if anyone was found to have been in contact with Dzerzhinsky in China, he would not be able to wash himself by jumping into the Volga River.

However, this woman has seen the world in the end, and at this time, she is still in danger, and the smile on her face is even more coquettish: "Director Zhang, everyone in the Cheka knows that I have no friendship with Dzerzhinsky, and I have always been a staunch Trotskyist!" Your false accusations won't do me any harm! ”

Still dying! Zhang Guotao sneered twice in his heart and said: "Comrade Lesinskaya, according to the information obtained by GC International, since September last year, you have been going to meet Comrade Dzerzhinsky every Sunday morning...... Well, it's what they guessed, because no one knows where you went and who you met every Sunday morning? By the way, Comrade Lesinskaya, can you tell me where you went every Sunday morning? ”

Leshinskaya's face has changed dramatically, and from last September until now, she has been attending Sunday Mass every Sunday at the Catholic church in Nanjing or Shanghai! As an honorable GCD member (except for G), of course, she shouldn't believe in God, but she just heard Chang Ruiqing say about God's apparition, and the Kanto earthquake in September seems to be ironclad proof that God helped his believer Chang Ruiqing! Well, at least for her, a former Polish aristocratic lady from a devout Catholic family, the truth of the Great Kanto Earthquake is that God is manifesting! So she had to pray to God and repent of her years of rebellion against God...... (To be continued.) )
