496th Difficult Trotsky asks for a monthly pass

"Comrade Trotsky, Comrade People's Commissar, this has just been sent back from Bombay. A negotiating delegation from the Provisional Government of India has arrived in Delhi and the Viceroy of British India, Vars. Isaacs also spoke in the British Indian Parliament last night to try to avoid war, and it seems that the British are not ready for war and want to stabilize the Indian revolutionaries. This is a telegram sent by Comrade Borodin from Tehran, the capital of Persia, and he has already communicated with the Persian Prime Minister Reza. Khan made contact, and the other side intended to use our power to get rid of the British control, but he was worried that we would take this opportunity to export GC doctrine to Persia, and the other side also gave an ambiguous answer to our request to send weapons to India through Persia. Khan was still afraid of the British. ”

Inside the Kremlin, the lights are bright. After the news of the Calcutta uprising came, a revolutionary command center was set up in the seat of the core of Soviet power. Telephone calls, telegrams, and all news related to the Indian revolution will be delivered to this command center at the first time, and every instruction of Trotsky will be carried out by the revolutionary cadres here.

Trotsky and Vatsettis, having inspected several arsenals under construction on the outskirts of Moscow, had just returned to the Kremlin and went straight to the command center. He handed a few documents to Trotsky and reported the situation in a brisk voice: "This is news from the Suez Canal. This morning, a British naval fleet headed by the battlecruiser HMS Hood entered the Red Sea through the GuΓ² Canal, accompanied by two ships of British Royal Marines, presumably bound for India to suppress the uprising.

This is a telegram from Comrade Berzin, the adviser of GC International in India. Jawaharlal Nehru, the general secretary of the Indian National Congress, had frequent contacts with officials of the US consulate in Kolkata during this period, and it was rumored that the United States was ready to provide secret assistance to the Congress party in order to help the Congress party gain power after the victory of the Indian revolution. And also. The Congress Party, the All India Muslim League, the Indian Autonomous Party (PKI) and the Indian GCD are at odds over the formation of an army, with all sides trying to control as many armed forces as possible. ”

Skryansky quickly told Trotsky about the general situation, and when he entered the command center, a room full of internationalist fighters stood up and saluted Trotsky, and after Trotsky beckoned everyone to take their seats, he looked at Tukhachevsky, chief of the General Staff of the Red Army: "What is the reaction of Germany and China?" Were there any signs of an offensive against the USSR and Soviet Japan? ”

Tukhachevsky stood up and said: "In order to win over China and Germany, Britain has agreed to Germany's annexation of the Sudetenland region of Austria and Czechoslovakia. Agree to China's annexation of the Kingdom of Siam. Therefore, the attention of these two countries has temporarily turned to the objects to be annexed by their respective countries, and the border between Poland and China and the Soviet Union is as usual, and the Korean battlefield is relatively calm. However, the recent actions of the British Navy are somewhat worrying. They seem to be moving part of their capital ships to the east. You must know that the Provisional Government of India does not have a navy at all, Calcutta is not close to the coast, and the capital ships are of no use in India, and the General Staff of the Red Army is worried. It is likely that the British capital ships transferred east were used to threaten Japan. ”

"That's bad. Japan's naval strength has not yet recovered, and China is eyeing the Japanese mainland through the "Japan-China Treaty", will it join forces with Britain to invade Japan? If Japan loses, the Asian revolution will fall into a trough! Vatsettis was very anxious, because Japan was the greatest "success" of Trotsky's world revolutionary policy in recent years, and if Japan was lost, the prestige that Trotsky had built up with great difficulty would be greatly diminished, and Lenin might make a comeback.

"It's unlikely. China has made economic development and speeding up the construction of heavy industry a priority, and it should not start a protracted war in the short term. Moreover, the chaotic situation in South Asia and the South Seas is actually very beneficial to China's economic development. Since the beginning of this year. Every month, hundreds of millions of capital flows into China from Nanyang, and a large number of well-educated overseas Chinese children return to China to start businesses or work. In addition, China's exports of silk and tea have also increased significantly due to the Japanese Revolution and the turmoil in the South Seas! If India's exports of tea and silk fall sharply as a result of the war, it is likely that China's foreign trade surplus will be in the short term, which will be very beneficial to their heavy industry construction. Trotsky waved his hand, saying that he was not worried about the invasion of the Japanese mainland, but looked at Persia on the map and said: "The key now is Persia, whether in terms of breaking the imperialist blockade of the Soviet Union or in supporting the revolution in India, the Soviet Union needs Persia as a friend!" Let Persia stand with us at any cost! ”

"But Reza. Khan was still worried. "At best, he is a Persian nationalist and spokesman for the Persian bourgeoisie, and the object of his imitation is also Kemal, the founding father of Turkey, who has made it his mission to build a strong secular Persia." ”

When Trotsky heard this, a satisfied smile appeared on his face: "It seems that we are with Reza. It is still possible for Khan to cooperate and we can help Reza. Khan built a secularized and powerful Persia, and we are the only ones in the world who will help Reza. Sweat. He paused for a moment, and then said, "Let Borodin sue SΓΉ Reza. Khan, I am ready to personally go to Tehran with Reza. Khan talks, I will convince him that the British Empire is the greatest enemy of Persia in its march towards strength and modernization! And the purpose of the USSR's support for the revolutions in West and South Asia was not to export GCISM there! ”

"He's afraid he won't believe it, Reza. Khan was a very shrewd dictator. Skryansky reminded.

Trotsky laughed: "If he is shrewd, then he will believe me, because I have no intention of exporting GCISM to West and South Asia!" This policy will not be changed until the defeat of the British, French, German and Sino-Italian five-nation alliance. ”

The first time they heard such a statement, everyone was stunned and threw a puzzled look at Trotsky. Trotsky explained with a smile: "The key to the victory or defeat of the world revolution is not in South Asia, South Seas or West Asia, but in Germany!" As long as we can defeat Germany and plant the red flag of world revolution throughout Europe, our cause will be successful. And our goals in South Asia, South Seas and West Asia. It was to incite and support the people there to rebel against the British and French colonizers, and to weaken the two world empires to the greatest extent, because once the Soviet Union and Germany were at war. These two countries will certainly come to Germany's aid with all their might. At the same time, freeing South Asia, South Seas, and West Asia from British and French control would also help break the imperialist blockade of the Soviet Union. ”

"Comrade Chicherin," Trotsky asked, seeing that the People's Commissar for Foreign Affairs of the Soviet Union was also present in this revolutionary command center, "how is the contact with the United States?" ”

"Comrade Troyanovsky has met with the US Ambassador to Japan, Leonard Troyanovsky. Wood met and conveyed our conditions and demands to the American side, but the American side has not yet given a reply. Chicherin frowned, "But the American ambassador asked us about our relationship with the Indian Revolution. They seem to be very interested in India. ”

Trotsky was silent for a moment, then smiled and said: "India is a vast land, rich in resources, and has a population of 300 million. It is a very promising market! And it is also the crown jewel of the British Empire, as long as this gem is in the hands of the United States, the United States can replace Britain as the leader of the world! How could Americans not dare to be interested? Now the Americans are supporting Nehru, right? ”

Skryansky took the question, "The Americans are also in touch with Jinnah. But India is too far away from the United States. And it is impossible for the United States to go to war with Britain for India, so ......"

"Sue the Americans, we in the USSR have no ambitions for India!" Trotsky interrupted suddenly. "For the sake of the friendship of the American people, we can support Nehru and Jinnah as future leaders of India, and we can get GC International's advisors to leave India...... Of course, it was after the Indian Revolution came down. ”

Is this to give away such a big cake as India? Although the South Asian revolution was not the focus of the Soviet Union and the GC International, it was somewhat surprising that Trotsky agreed to cede South Asia to the capitalist United States. But think about it. Everyone could not help but admire Trotsky's generosity. Precisely because the United States is the strongest and richest capitalist country in the world, the monopoly bourgeoisie that rules the United States is still full of fear of Soviet GCISM. Although they want their country to replace Britain as the leader of the world. But this in no way means that they were willing to weaken Britain by risking the Soviet Union too strong. If the Soviet Union shows that it wants to redden India, cooperation with the United States is likely to fail......

"Comrade Trotsky, should our support for the Indian revolution continue?" Skryansky asked hesitantly.

"Of course we have to continue!" Trotsky snorted coldly: "The Americans will not risk a war with the British, French, German, Sino-Italian alliance to support India!" So it's up to us to take this risk, and the United States is hiding behind the scenes and waiting to pick the fruit, so they should be satisfied, right? ”

Of course, the Americans would be satisfied, but the most they could give the Soviet Union was the establishment of diplomatic relations, plus the relaxation of export restrictions on machinery and equipment, and at most a little loan. Is it really worth it to "sell" India for the sake of this benefit, and to risk going to war with Britain in the face?

While everyone was thinking about this, a Kremlin secretary suddenly knocked on the door and came in and handed a document clip to the People's Commissar for Foreign Affairs, Chicherin.

"Comrade Trotsky," Checherin smiled with a gloating face as he opened his folder. "The GC International Nanyang Bureau telegraphed that a terrorist attack occurred in the city of Manila in the Philippines at noon today, a group of terrorists claiming to be the Philippine Red Brigade raided an American cruise ship, kidnapped hundreds of American citizens on board as hostages, and put forward the conditions for the Philippines to obtain full independent status immediately!"

"Very well," Trotsky struck himself to his feet and slapped hard. "The People's Commissariat for Foreign Affairs immediately issued a statement condemning the actions of the Filipino terrorists, and then asked Comrade Troyanovsky to convey it to the US Ambassador to Japan, Leonard Brown. Wood, let's just say that the Soviet Union and GC International had nothing to do with the Philippine Red Brigades. ”

……

In the spacious living room, Bei Yihui, who came from Shanghai, sat on a sofa a little stiffly, chatting with Chang Ruiqing without a word, and only Sun Yuexun and her so-called sister Miyagawa Yunzi were accompanied. The two little beauties were wearing exactly the same kimono, one sat next to Chang Ruiqing, and the other accompanied Bei Yihui. When Chang Ruiqing was talking to Bei Yihui, he also secretly compared Miyagawa Yunzi with his own Sun Yuexun, both of them are Japanese-style beauties, and they should be no worse than those famous actresses in the future. It's just a little short. Sun Yuexun, who has just given birth, is fatter, with a lot of big breasts and fat buttocks, although Miyagawa Yunzi is slender and gorgeous. But it's not as flavorful as Sun Yuexun......

While appreciating the beauties, Chang Ruiqing's mouth kept talking about the great truth of the unity of Han and the unity of the same culture, and the words of supporting the Greater East Asia Co-prosperity Association were also taken out as if they didn't want money. In addition to talking about the Japan-China Coalition, he was touting their new director of the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Association, Sun Yuexun, who made the arrangement for "Miss Sun San", who knew nothing but serving men, and was almost a plaything of herself, to become a director of the Greater East Asia Co-prosperity Association. Of course, Chang Ruiqing was quite satisfied, so just now he asked someone to take a check of 100,000 yuan and hand it to Bei Yihui, which can be regarded as his sponsorship of the cause of Japan-China Hebang. and patiently talked to this Japanese politician. Just when he was about to have nothing to say, Zeng Qi, the head of the attendant, suddenly walked in in a hurry.

"Chairman, three hours ago there was a terrorist attack in Manila, Philippines, and an American cruise ship was held by terrorists!"

"Know who did it?"

"The terrorists call themselves the Philippine Red Brigades. They put forward the conditions for the independence of the Philippines from the United States! ”

Chang Ruiqing frowned slightly: "Is it supported by the Soviet Union?" ”

Zeng Qi shook his head. "The People's Commissariat for Foreign Affairs of the USSR and GC International have issued a joint statement denying any connection with the Red Brigades. Foreign Minister Wang Zhengting also called to ask if the chairman of the NPC National Committee was supporting the Philippine Red Brigades. ”

Chang Ruiqing shouted, "What does he mean by this?" ”

The name of this Red Brigade is really similar to the Red Brigade made by Chang Ruiqing in his early years, and the anti-imperialist methods are also similar, they are all terrorist attacks! It seems that it is also on the path of nationalism, and now the Soviet Union and GC International are unwilling to claim this red brigade, which can't help but make people think of Chang Ruiqing's head! Chang Ruiqing was angry, and then said angrily: "Is there any rumor?" ”

Zeng Qi said slowly: "My subordinates don't know, but I think there will be some rumors." ”

Chang Ruiqing frowned. There was some bitterness in my heart, "Let the Ministry of Foreign Affairs immediately issue a statement of condemnation." ”

Zeng Qi said with a smile: "The Ministry of Foreign Affairs after learning about the statements made by the USSR and GC International. I discussed it with Premier Pan and issued a statement of condemnation. ”

"It's timely enough." Chang Ruiqing laughed dryly, although he was not satisfied with Pan Yucheng's own opinions, but after all, this Premier Pan is his own person, and he has done things reliably over the years, and this time it is also out of public intentions, so he doesn't care. He stood up and smiled at Kita Yihui: "Mr. Kita, in the future, Xun'er will rely on you to take care of her in the Co-Prosperity Association." ”

Bei Yihui and Miyagawa Yunzi also stood up, bowed to Chang Ruiqing, and Bei Yihui said: "It is our honor that Miss Sun can come to the Co-Prosperity Meeting, and it is our need to rely on Miss Sun's care." ”

Chang Ruiqing smiled and nodded, and sent the two guests out of the bungalow with Sun Yuexun. Then he asked Zhou Elai and Zeng Qi to be invited to his study, closed the door and started the discussion.

"Xiangyu, the work of the Great Far East Migration has been almost arranged, and there are some things in the south, I will leave for Nanjing tomorrow, and I will leave to my brother for the affairs of the Far East in the future."

Zhou Elai said calmly: "Chairman of the CPPCC National Committee, rest assured, there is not much difficulty in moving the compatriots of the He nationality out of the Far East, and the key is that the resettlement work in the interior must be in place, and as long as these people can live and work in peace and contentment, they will naturally be integrated into the Han nationality after a generation or two." ”

His words were in Chang Ruiqing's arms, Chang Ruiqing said with a smile: "That's it, this kind of thing has come true for a long time, we can't learn from the Soviet Union to pretend to protect any ethnic minorities, that is to leave hidden dangers to future generations, we just want to implement a policy of assimilation...... In the future, there will be no more Han and Manchurian Hui Tibetan seedlings in China, there can only be one Chinese nation! ”

Zhou Elai raised his thick eyebrows and reminded in a low voice: "Chairman, there should not be much difficulty in assimilating and assimilating Muslims, but it is not so easy to assimilate Muslims. ”

"Even if there are difficulties, it must be carried out, this is for the long-term peace and stability of the country."

Chang Ruiqing paused for a moment and said slowly: "Now that the Soviets have come up with a people's revolutionary party to oppose me, I am not worried at all, just as Mr. Lu Xun in Shanghai said, now is the era of stable slaves, and the common people will not follow them against me, at least not until the population exceeds the land carrying limit." But if the Soviets come up with a Muslim opposition, I'm afraid I'm going to have a headache......"

"No, after all, Trotsky was a GCD and would not have dealings with such religious forces."

Chang Ruiqing smiled bitterly: "It's hard to say, Xiangyu, you don't know yet, Trotsky's representative Borodin is now in Persia with Reza. Khan talked secretly, and in this Indian revolution there was also the participation of the All India Muslim League, I really don't know if this Trotsky will play the Muslim card? You've been in Xinjiang for several years, and you know those people better than I do, so if you have time during this time, help me study ways to deal with them, and it can be regarded as a precaution. ”

Speaking of this, he sighed again, and said in his heart that most of the terrorist activities in the Philippines this time were also Trotsky's ghosts! I really didn't expect this revolutionary prophet to be even more difficult than Stalin! (To be continued.) )
