Zhang Guotao trembled his hands and hurriedly knotted his tie, which was missed twice. He tossed the tie aside, pulled a pack of cigarettes out of his pocket, pulled out one and smoked it. He received an order from the Central Committee of the Communist Party in August 1922 to come to Moscow for a meeting. He met Lenin in the Kremlin, who told him that he had been removed from his post as Chairman of the Revolutionary Military Council of the Far East and that Blyukhel would take over the post, and that he had been told to wait in Moscow for a new job. As a result, he waited for more than two months, during which time he lived with his family in a three-bedroom apartment in Moscow, and received a special card according to the treatment of a minister of the Soviet government. Zhong Zhijie came to see him a few times, and talked to him about some of the situation in China, which was completely different from what he had heard in the Soviet Union, and it seemed not so bad. But Zhang Guotao didn't have much to think about China, he was worried about the head on his neck, which was indeed a very important thing. Leninites like him are already very unpopular in the current Soviet Union! Summoned to Moscow from the Far East for no reason, and given an errand to be exempted, shouldn't the next thing be an arrest?

As a result, today, October 11, 1922, a call from the Organization Department of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China has called, asking him to report to Lubyanka Square No. 2 by himself! Well, report yourself, that's a really good way to get arrested. But who would dare not to go? Can you run without going? And he still has a wife and children, and he still has a little luck. Maybe it's not an arrest, but some new appointment? After all, the cadres of the organization department said so on the phone, uh, believe in the organization!

After smoking a cigarette, Zhang Guotao's spirit finally lifted up a little, his hands stopped shaking, he picked up the tie and tied it around his neck very skillfully, then put on his shirt and carried a briefcase - there was no official document in it, but a few changes of clothes. Having worked in the rubioyanka himself, he knew that the conditions there were tough. In the end, he kissed his Russian wife goodbye, and while kissing, he thought to himself: this is a kind swallow, and at the same time a good wife and mother, if he can continue to fight for the cause of human liberation, he must treat her well in the future......

A carriage had been parked under the apartment building, and a Cheka warrior was waiting by the carriage, saluting Zhang Guotao when he saw him come out - this seemed to be a good sign! If an arrest had been made, there should have been no such courtesy. This ordinary military salute made Zhang Guotao come to the door of Building 2 of Rubyanka Plaza with the happiest mood of the holiday.

"Comrade Zhang Guotao, please go to Comrade Skryansky's office on the third floor. He will meet you there. A handsome Cheka cadre received him in the hall and led him up the staircase covered with white marble up the third floor. Then he passed through several rooms and asked him to sit down and wait in a small parlor. He was not the only guest in the living room, but also an old man in his sixties with white hair. From the polite manner of the old man greeting him, Zhang Guotao thought that the other party was a Japanese, and he also saluted the other party very politely, and then sat quietly and waited.

It didn't take long. There was a soft knock on the door of the living room, and I saw a middle-aged man with brown hair who was a little fat walking in. He wore gold-rimmed glasses, and he looked like he was getting used to being rich and honored. just nodded lightly at Zhang Guotao and the old man. Zhang Guotao recognized him as the NKVD of the Soviet Union and deputy chairman of the Revolutionary Military Council, and Trotsky's close comrade-in-arms, Kryansky.

Skryansky also knew Zhang Guotao and the old man, and after sitting down, he introduced them with a smile: "This is Comrade Zhang Guotao, former chairman of the Far Eastern Revolutionary Military Committee -- this is Comrade Katayama Qian, vice chairman of the Japanese National Socialist Party, and a real Bolshevik. ”

Zhang Guotao, of course, understood what a real Bolshevik meant. He glanced at the old man again. I was secretly surprised in my heart. This is a Japanese Bolshevik! It's really rare to the extreme, I haven't seen it in the past two years in the Far East, and I haven't even heard of it.

"All right, Comrade Zhang Guotao. Now about your new job. Skryansky smiled politely at Zhang Guotao. The organization is ready to arrange for you to be the secretary of the GC International Far East Bureau. ”

Zhang Guotao sighed in his heart, it was really not an arrest, although the official position was a little smaller than the original. Then he wondered again, it seems that the appointment of the secretary of the GC International Far East Bureau should be announced to him by the chairman of the GC International, Dimiviev, right?

Skryansky seemed to see Zhang Guotao's thoughts, and explained with a smile: "The official appointment will be announced by GC International, and you are invited here just to tell you about the most important task of the Far East Bureau in the next few years or even ten years - to redden Japan!" ”

This means that Trotsky has little hope for a red China! Zhang Guotao thought to himself that China had now established a very special friendship with Germany, and the Soviet Union must reassure China so as not to fall into the dilemma of fighting on two fronts. Therefore, in the last few issues of Pravda, China has been referred to as a "quasi-socialist country...... But why did the Soviet Union touch Japan?

"Comrade Zhang Guotao, what do you think of the Red Japan?" Skryansky's question interrupted Zhang's thoughts.

"This ...... It's not easy. Zhang Guotao replied truthfully. Since the Meiji Restoration, the Japanese government has carried out brainwashing education on its citizens, and the mythical emperor ...... Moreover, the emperor of Japan is known as the one of the generations, and his prestige among the people is very high. Without the direct help of the Soviet Red Army, it would have been difficult to save the Japanese people from the dire situation. ”

"What about Comrade Katayama's opinion?"

The old Japanese Bolshevik laughed, shook his head, and said in a stiff Russian: "There is a certain truth in Comrade Zhang's words, and the shape of the Japanese revolution is indeed more difficult. But it is not impossible, as long as the way is right, I am confident that I will plant the red flag all over the Japanese archipelago within 15 years! Liberate 70 million oppressed Japanese people! ”

"Do you have any specific solutions? Comrade Katayama. Zhang Guotao asked bluntly.

"I am a high-ranking member of the Japanese National Socialist Party, which in turn is the ruling party. That's why I know a lot about Japan's national policies. Katayama pondered for a while, and then said: "This national policy is to expand to the south, defeat the British navy, seize the hegemony of the western Pacific, and turn Nanyang and Australia into Japanese colonies!" ”

Zhang Guotao's eyes widened. "Are they crazy? Britain's naval strength far surpassed that of Japan, and they would not have a chance at all. ”

Katayama said: "The strength of the two is equal! China was actually conniving at Japan's southward advance, and they gave Japan a contract for the construction of five 30,000-ton battle cruisers. This is actually a conspiracy, Japan will requisition all these five capital ships after the completion of them, and integrate them into its own naval fleet to fight a decisive battle with Britain and the United States! And this time will be between 1931 and 1932...... The Japanese side expected that the Soviet Union would also launch a war to liberate Europe at this time. ”

Zhang Guotao turned his head to look at Skryansky. There was no expression on the other party's face. Katayama went on to say, "It's going to be a world war!" If Japan loses on the battlefield, it will be the best time for us to liberate Japan. ”

"You mean to pursue a policy that will defeat Japan?" Zhang Guotao asked suspiciously. He knew that the Russian Bolshevik Party had pursued a "policy of defeating the Tsar" in the First World War, and that it had succeeded in bringing down Tsarist Russia and replacing it.

"Not exactly," Katayama said. "The center of power in the world is in Europe, so the war in which the Soviet Union liberated Germany will be the key to the success of the entire world revolution. If Germany is liberated, it is only a matter of time before Japan is liberated...... So our policy should be for Japanese militarism to start the war first, to draw Anglo-American-French forces to the East, in order to coordinate with the Soviet offensive in the West - after the Soviet Red Army had successfully raided the German White Army. It is only then that we will adopt a strategy that will defeat Japan. ”

"How?" Zhang Guotao asked suspiciously.

"Try to lead the Japanese army to attack its invincible adversary, the United States!"

"And then?"

"It should have been before." Skryansky glanced at Zhang Guotao and took over the topic. "Comrade Zhang Guotao. The mission of the GC International Far East Bureau is to help Comrade Katayama to secretly develop the power of the GCISTS in Japan, to find suitable young people from the Far Eastern Republic or China, to infiltrate the Japanese mainland under the guise of missing Japanese nationals, and then to join the Japanese National Socialist Party, trade union organizations, and news organizations...... And then secretly develop power. It doesn't have to be in the name of GCISM, but it can also be in the name of National Socialism or Statism. Since the prestige of the Japanese emperor is high, he can use the Japanese chaebols and bureaucrats as targets. If necessary, the emperor's prestige can even be used. ”

Hearing this very clear instruction from Skryansky, Zhang Guotao understood why he came to Lubyanka Square No. 2. Because this plan to reddening Japan is not GC International's style of doing things at all, but a Cheka-style conspiracy...... And Zhang Guotao still vaguely felt. I don't know the whole story of this conspiracy, and even becoming the secretary of the GC International Far East Bureau is part of this conspiracy!

……

Several blue-hat Cheka warriors suddenly appeared at a certain intersection of Arbat Street, causing Zhang Zongke, who was full of fear, to gasp a few times. Fortunately, these Cheka warriors just sneaked out to go shopping during work hours, and they didn't notice Zhang Zongke's savings at all.

Oh, he's not called Zhang Zongke now, and of course he's not called Kang Sheng. It was his pseudonym in another time and space, in Ye Shuai's eulogy to him. This name should be preceded by a great proletarian revolutionary and a glorious anti-revision fighter...... And in this time and space, Comrade Kang Sheng has actually been reduced to a revisionist spy! Now that he has successfully infiltrated the Bolsheviks in Japan, and has a Japanese identity, the newly found missing Japanese expatriate Yasuo Wada - the real Yasuo Wada is still in a labor camp in Siberia. He was already seriously ill due to overwork and was going to die soon. And there are no relatives in this Wada family, almost alone, so it's a good impersonation target! In addition, the Japanese also have a habit of adopting and being adopted sons, so Katayama Qian (he thought Kangsheng was Korean) found him a Japanese father, a childless and elderly Japanese embassy official, so his surname was naturally changed to Yasuda, the adoptive father, so that even if he met the acquaintance of Yasuo Wada, there was no possibility of exposure.

The destination of this freshly baked Yasuo Yasuda is the Prague Hotel on Arbat Street. Two guys with oriental faces were loitering in front of the hotel. Zhang Zongke recognized at a glance that this was the security personnel of the original Chinese delegation G. Zhong Zhi usually takes the two of them with him when he comes to the door, and it seems that the person he wants to meet has arrived in advance.

Yasuo Yasuda hurriedly approached the entrance of the luxury hotel. Habitually glance around me. The two Zhong Zhijie's bodyguards walking at the door didn't seem to see him. Didn't say hello to him either. Walking into the door of the hotel, a few vigilant eyes swept back and forth on Yasuo Yasuda, this is the comrades of the hotel's special department, they belong to the lowest level of security fighters, but the power is very great. Yasuda continued to walk towards the restaurant, and Zhong Zhijie was sitting brightly in the window seat. Already ordered. Seeing Yasuo Yasuda coming over, he took the initiative to get up to greet him -- Yasuda nominally came to talk to Zhong Zhijie on the instructions of Katayama Qian today, so there is no need to hide it.

"Comrade Yasuda," Zhong Zhijie said in Russian, motioning for him to sit down in the chair opposite him. "Is there anything Katayama can't do on his own?"

"Mr. Katayama is an ambassador. It's inconvenient to come forward often. Yasuda spoke in stiff Russian. As he spoke, he took out an envelope prepared in advance from the leather bag he was carrying and handed it to Zhong Zhijie. "This is your payment, a total of 10,000 yen."

Zhong Zhijie took the envelope, took out a stack of banknotes from it, looked at it, and stuffed it back. "Okay, anything else?" This was the reward he received from the Japanese side for betraying the intelligence of the Sino-Soviet grain trade -- in fact, Katayama had known about it for a long time, but he had to pretend not to know and spend money to buy it from Zhong Zhijie.

After reading the banknotes, Zhong Zhijie's face suddenly showed a smile, and he casually picked up a bag and handed it over. "Mr. Katayama has everything he wants here, so I'll go back first if there's nothing to do. The dish has been ordered, and it will be credited to my account. You can use it slowly. With that, he slipped the envelope full of money into his pocket and strode out.

……

"Liberate Japan...... Yichen, Meng Li, what do you think? ”

In addition to money, the envelope that Zhong Zhijie got contained other things, such as Comrade Trotsky's instructions on the liberation of Japan. However, Yasuo Yasuda doesn't know much, only a general idea, without too many details. However, Zhong Zhijie still did not dare to slack off, and immediately sent the news back to Nanjing by telegram and put it on the desk of Chairman Chang Da.

Heard Chang Ruiqing's question. Two spy leaders, you look at me, I look at you, and I don't know how to answer for a while. The two of them are not the kind of spies with an international perspective, who are responsible for domestic intelligence problems, international affairs, that is, to inquire about the news, and really ask them to analyze it. The quasi-guarantee is outrageous.

"Do you want to invite **, President Chen (President of the Fishery and Farmers Association Chen Duxiu) and them to come over and discuss?" Ren Yijiang said tentatively.

"It doesn't work." Chang Ruiqing smiled, "They don't know that our people have infiltrated the Japanese National Socialist Party, this matter is a top secret!" ”

"Understood." The two spies said in unison. Meng Li continued: "Bench, we still know too little about the situation now. It is difficult to make an accurate judgment, and the staff should wait and see what happens. ”

Chang Ruiqing said coldly: "Just don't do anything?" ”

Meng Li frowned, thought about it and said, "It's not that we don't do nothing, but I'm afraid it's hard for us to work this matter!" ”

"No, it's not that it's completely unworkable." Ren Yijiang suddenly thought of something at this time. "Bench, do you remember Tang Jiu? Your earliest guard, who has always been in contact with us. ”

Chang Ruiqing smiled slightly: "Now is the time to make this dark chess move...... He has a good relationship with Zhang Guotao, and he can try to join the GC International Far East Bureau and help Zhang Guotao go to Japan together. ”

"Red Japan? Are you kidding? The two spies asked in a daze.

"Hehe, it's a joke." Chang Ruiqing looked at the two people opposite, his face was already sank: "Japan is not so easy to become a GCIST country, Trotsky may not understand Japan's national conditions, but I know this very well. So I'm not worried about Japan becoming a Soviet state and dealing with us with the Soviet Union. But it is difficult to say whether Trotsky would have conspiracy otherwise! Look at the Soviet means against Germany and Poland...... This is a ruthless character! We've got to be careful, you know? ”

"The department understands!" The two spies knew that Chang Ruiqing had given an order, and at the same time they both stood up and replied loudly.

"My friend Mussolini, who seized power in Italy a few days ago, has already extended an invitation to me to visit Italy. In addition, Hitler extended the same invitation. This time I am going to go to Europe, after I leave China, you must keep an eye on the GC International and the Soviet Union's intelligence network in China, and there must be no mistakes, you know? ”

"I know, the department must keep an eye on them." Both agents confidently assured. Chang Ruiqing also nodded with satisfaction, now that his rule has been stabilized, there seems to be no big loopholes, so he can safely carry out his first foreign trip since coming to power.
