Beiping, China, Shuncheng County Palace.

A red flag embroidered with a golden sickle and hammer is flying high above the flagpole in front of the palace gate - this is the party flag of China's GCD. In order to better promote the process of democratization in China and lead the world revolution, the headquarters of the Central Committee of the Central Committee of China and G moved back to Beiping at the end of May 1939 and settled in the Shuncheng County Palace, which was donated by Zhang Xueliang. Moved to Peking together with the Central Headquarters of the Central Committee of the Chinese Communist Party, and together with the GC International Oriental Bureau and GC International Chapter 888, an important meeting that may have a bearing on the future and fate of the world revolution has been going on for several hours. The time for dinner has long passed, but the meeting is not yet over. In the end, Zhao Yidi, who was in the General Office of the Central Committee, had to order a snack from Daoxiang Village and personally delivered it in.

"Chairman Zhou, Vice Chairman Mao, it's time to eat, the dim sum from Daoxiang Village will be ready." Zhao Yidi put a large food box carved from mahogany on the conference table, opened the lid, and it was full of mung bean cakes, pea yellow, apricot paste cakes, bean paste cakes, and so on.

However, the atmosphere in today's conference room seems to be a little depressing, and none of the leaders of the Central G have touched these small snacks that make people feel appreciative when they look at them. Zhao Yidi sighed softly, glanced at Zhang Xueliang, who was also frowning, shook his head and walked out.

"Comrades, although Stalin and the Soviet GCD have made mistakes of one kind or another over the past ten years, they are still the GCD or the Red Army! Now they have just lost Tehran and are being pursued by the Kuomintang and White Russian troops...... We should first find a way to save this revolutionary force. Then we will consider the issue of convening the Eighth GC International Congress and electing a new Executive Committee. It was Zhang Wantian who spoke. He is a high-level member of the Central Committee of the Central Committee. The only one who advocated rapprochement with the Soviet Union and Stalin. However, at the grassroots level of China and G, there are many people who hold this view, and among the GCDs of various countries under GC International, the views advocating reconciliation between China and the Soviet GCD are even more mainstream. So. Genius Zhang W will provoke this issue in this meeting.

"Yes," he said, sitting next to Zhang Wtian. Dimitrov, who was wearing a short-sleeved white shirt and was still wiping his sweat, immediately chimed in: "Comrade Stalin said in the telegram that the present is the low ebb of the world revolution. The Chinese GCD and the Soviet GCD, which are the vanguard of the world revolution, should be united. Jointly lead the world revolution out of the doldrums. He hoped that the Chinese Red Army in India would launch a westward expedition and join forces with the Soviet Red Army in southeastern Persia or northwestern India to create a base area including northwestern India, eastern Iran, and southern Afghanistan. Then work together to liberate Persia, Afghanistan and India! Judging from the current situation of the world revolution, this strategy is feasible to a certain extent. ”

Zhou Elai's face was unfazed, and he was not annoyed by the suggestions made by Dimitrov and Zhang Wtian. In fact, he also wanted to unite the forces of the Su G. After all, the world revolution is at a low ebb, and imperialism and reactionaries are still very rampant! If it weren't for the struggle between the three major imperialisms of China, the United States and Germany. The possibility of the GC International Eastern Bureau wanting to open up a base for world revolution in India is almost non-existent. In such a situation, the world revolutionary forces, of course, should unite and work together.

It's just that for a long time, the GCDs of all countries in the world have been subject to the GC International controlled by the Soviet Union from policy to personnel, although the Soviet Union has become a lost dog, but their influence on the GCD of all countries in the world is far above that of the Chinese G. In particular, the cooperative relationship between China and the G-China imperialists, one of the three major imperialisms in the world, has made the GCD people in all countries of the world very disgusted, and it is inevitable that they will lean towards the Soviet-G in the struggle between the G-China and the Soviet-G for the international leadership of the GC. If China G can't find a way to improve its prestige in the international G movement as soon as possible, even if it reluctantly convenes the Eighth GC International Congress and seizes the leadership of GC International, it will be difficult to convince the public, and the final result will inevitably be the split of GC International, so that the future of the world revolution will be even more bleak.

Now the only way to increase the prestige of China and G in a short period of time is to open up the situation in India as soon as possible. After defeating the Anglo-Indian army in the Battle of Jamshedpur at the end of April, the "GC International South Asian Army" led by China and G opened up a base area in the eastern Indian state of Odisha, the southern state of Garkhand, and the western state of Chhattisgarh, and played the signboard of the Union of Socialist Republics of India to play against Gandhi's Republic of India.

However, to the great surprise of the top level of the Central G, the agrarian revolution, which had played a great role in the Chinese revolution, actually encountered great resistance in India! Most of the poor and middle-class peasants of the lower castes who believed in Hinduism did not support the GCD's ideas and were unwilling to rise up against the rule of the Brahmins, Dessaryas and other high-caste landlords and princely princes! Moreover, the strength of the princes of the princely states of India is far greater than the imagination of the Chinese g. Originally, the local tyrants and inferior gentry encountered in northern China were nothing compared to these brahmin princes who had been inherited for thousands or even thousands of years. After thousands of years of evolution, the Hindu princely princes and Brahmins have long since become one, holding unimaginable wealth on the one hand, and Hindu religious power in their spheres of influence on the other, and they have also opened their eyes to the market because of British rule.

After the withdrawal of British power and the abyss of war in India, these princes, who wielded huge wealth and religious power, easily regained control of the local power that belonged to them, and organized private armies in the shortest possible time! Although these local armed forces do not have much combat effectiveness, they are all genuine local snakes, not only familiar with the terrain, but also control a large number of Hindu people, playing the "people's war", not to mention the "GC International South Asian Army" as an outsider, even the native Indian GCD has not much to do with them...... Throughout May, the main force of the GC International South Asian Army was busy extinguishing the armed resistance of the reactionary princes and Brahmins in various parts of the base area, which gave the Gandhi authorities a respite.

According to the intelligence provided by the Indian GCD. The Indian Gandhian authorities have now shown their true colors as a reactionary civil war. In the past May, the Gandhi authorities paid reparations for the cession of land to the outside world in order to gain the understanding of Chinese imperialism. On the one hand, they wantonly looted the people's fat and ointment in the country. It was used to hire and expand the reactionary army, and it also completely incorporated the Anglo-Indian puppet army for its own use! In a vain attempt to resist the revolutionary army with these minions and lackeys trained by British imperialism...... After more than one month of reorganization and expansion, the Gandhi authorities now have a large number of puppet armies, including the army, navy, and air force.

Of course, the main force of this puppet army is still the army, and their navy and air force are still very weak. There is currently no combat capability. According to intelligence, the puppet Indian Army is now being reorganized by the Gandhi authorities into two major sections: the Central Army and the Local Security Army.

Among them, the puppet CSKA is the main force. A total of 18 infantry corps and 54 infantry divisions were formed, in addition to 15 ** artillery regiments and a light armored division under preparation. The total strength was about 900,000 men, and it was armed with British Lee Enfield rifles. Bren light machine gun. Weapons such as Vickers water-cooled machine guns, 17-pounder and 25-pounder cannons. Most of these weapons can be produced in factories controlled by the authorities in New Delhi, and the ammunition is completely self-sufficient. Therefore, the equipment of the Indian puppet army is relatively sufficient. However, the quality of their soldiers is poor, the level of training is poor, and the junior officers lack the necessary military experience. The combat effectiveness is still much weaker than that of the "GC International South Asian Army" led by China and G.

The so-called local security forces were local armed forces that relied on the financial and influence of the princely princes of various parts of India. Although the weapons and equipment of the armed forces in most places are not worth mentioning. However, after all, they are all local snakes, and their numbers are very large, so the harm to the Indian revolution is also very great.

In addition, there is also an Indian Muslim coalition army formed by recruiting a large number of officers and soldiers from Central Asia in the former Soviet Red Army with Muslim officers in China as the backbone, and after accepting a large amount of military funds from the New Delhi authorities, it also played the signboard of the Northwest Front of India in a grand manner, entrenched in the Indus Valley in northwest India, and became a semi-warlord force.

Beginning in late May, the General Staff of the Indian puppet army began to dispatch troops and dispatch troops, dividing the 12 armies that had first completed the reorganization into three routes, approaching the liberated areas of India from the west, north, and northeast...... There seem to be signs of military encirclement!

In the face of the encirclement and suppression of as many as 600,000 Indian puppet troops, the GC International South Asian Army certainly did not dare to take it lightly, and Xiang Ying, Ye Ting, Liu Bcheng and other high-level South Asian Army leaders quickly formulated a battle plan to concentrate their forces and defeat the three-way puppet army. Although this battle plan has been approved by the Central Military Commission of the Central Committee of the China and G and the Military Commission of the GC International Oriental Bureau (two brands and one organization), Zhou Elai is very worried about it!

It's not that I'm worried that the South Asian GC Army will be defeated by the Indian puppet army, this kind of thing is absolutely impossible! However, it is impossible for the South Asian GC Army to defeat the 600,000 Indian puppet army without paying a little price. Even if it is a one-to-ten exchange ratio, the South Asian GC Army will pay tens of thousands of casualties! Due to the slow progress of the agrarian revolution in India, the expansion of the South Asian GC Army has also been slower than expected, with a total strength of less than 300,000 at present. Moreover, about 200,000 of them were drawn from the Chinese border guards and the Far East Army. But they are all the backbone of the descendants of Zhong G! Once consumed in the Indian Revolutionary War, it will be difficult to replenish later! After all, China's six northern provinces have also entered the "period of political training", although China still firmly controls the political power, but the economic and social system is no different from that of the "national control area", and it is impossible to raise a large army at low cost......

Therefore, the most ideal result is to break the encirclement and suppression of the Indian Gandhi authorities with the least losses and gain time for consolidating the revolutionary base areas in eastern India and expanding the South Asian GC army. And the 200,000 Soviet Red Army, united with Stalin, and the East and West against the Indian National Congress, seemed to be the only means to achieve this desired result. But to cooperate with such a scheming revisionist as Stalin. The risks cannot be ignored.

At this time, Mao ZD seemed to have some appetite, he reached out and grabbed a piece of bean paste cake, put it in his mouth and chewed a few bites, then swallowed it, and then smiled and said: "The rice should be eaten in one bite, and the battle should be fought one by one." Comrade E, in my opinion, we do not need to rush to convene the Eighth International Congress of the GC. At present, the weakness of Su G is already obvious, and Persia will really lose his family. Will the GCDs of the countries of the world obey the leadership of a lost dog? I don't think it's possible. The crux of the matter now is to break the encirclement and suppression of Gandhi's puppet army. To expand and consolidate the revolutionary base areas in India, as long as the army and territory in the hands of our Party can continue to expand, the GCD of all countries in the world will eventually support us as the leader of the GC International. ”

Zhou Elai nodded, and then suddenly asked, "Runzhi." Is there anything we can do to alleviate the pressure on the Indian base areas now? ”

Although the agrarian revolution in India was moving slowly, there was enough time. The South Asian GC Army and the Indian GCD were still able to completely eliminate the princely princes and Brahmin landlord classes in the base areas, and then establish a solid local government at all levels. At that time, hundreds of thousands of revolutionary troops could be mobilized from tens of millions of turned Shudras and Dalits, and the gold and silver accumulated by the princes and Brahmins of the princely states and Brahmins for thousands of years would be confiscated. It is also enough to pay for the cost of arming hundreds of thousands of troops. When the time comes, a general showdown with the Gandhi authorities will be foolproof. But until then, it's best to avoid using the old book of Zhongg to fight to the death with Gandhi......

Mao Zd was stunned for a moment, thought for a while and said: "Now that the Gandhi authorities have reorganized 900,000 central troops, and there are millions of local armed forces also attached to the New Delhi regime, with such a large military advantage, the Gandhi authorities should be in a hurry to fight a decisive battle." Unless......" Speaking of this, he glanced at Zhang and Dimitrov out of the corner of his eye. It seems that Stalin's entry into India at this time was still somewhat useful. Thinking of this, he chuckled twice and said to Zhou Elai: "Comrade Elai, now that the world revolution is at a low ebb, we should unite all the forces that can be united, including the Soviet Red Army and Comrade Stalin...... Although they have made some mistakes and lost the Soviet Union, the base of the world revolution, as long as they are willing to return to the right path, we should still unite with them. ”

"Vice Chairman Mao is right." Zhang Wtian nodded excitedly, stood up, and said loudly: "The GC International South Asian Army led by our Eastern Bureau already has 300,000 troops, and the Soviet Red Army led by Comrade Stalin still has 200,000 troops!" Combined, there are as many as 500,000 troops! Comrades, that's 500,000 long-tested elite divisions! I don't know how much stronger it is than Gandhi's puppet army, as long as we unite with the Soviet Union, I believe that it will not take much time to redden the whole of India, and with India as a revolutionary base, we can take advantage of the rare opportunity of the imperialist world war to accumulate strength, and wait until the imperialist countries are defeated, and then set off a new world revolution! At most, the world revolution will be victorious in ten years......"

After listening to Zhang Wtian's high remarks, Zhou Elai and Mao ZD nodded frequently, as if they were moved. Zhou Elai clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Okay! Comrade Luo Fu's proposal is obviously in line with the actual situation of the world revolution at present and is exactly the correct proposition that the international communist movement should adopt. Speaking of this, his thick eyebrows twisted slightly, and he sighed, "It's just that we want to launch a westward expedition, but it is not feasible to join forces with Comrade Stalin's Soviet Red Army in northwest India." On the contrary, the Soviet Red Army should take advantage of the favorable opportunity when the main forces of the Indian puppet central army were all attracted to eastern India, leave Persia as soon as possible and quickly enter western India...... If New Delhi can be captured in one fell swoop, it will be possible to quickly destroy all of India!

At the same time, our South Asian Army will do its best to drag the main force of the Indian puppet army and prevent them from returning to the division to intercept the Soviet Red Army advancing into India. ”

Dimitrov was stunned, now Stalin's army has just left Tehran, at least 4000 to 5000 kilometers from New Delhi! And it has to face the encirclement and interception of the Sino-Russian coalition army and the Indian puppet army, even if it can hit the city of New Delhi, I am afraid that it will already be a big injury, right? I'm afraid that such a suggestion has ulterior motives! However, Stalin's plan for the meeting was also unkind......

At the end of the meeting, it was already the middle of the night, and when Zhou Elai and Mao Zd walked out of the conference room side by side, they saw Zhao Shiyan, Secretary General of the Central Committee, waiting outside, Zhou Elai and Mao Zd glanced at each other, and then entered a room next to the conference room with Zhao Shiyan. Zhao Shiyan hurriedly took out a telegram from his pocket and handed it to Zhou Elai, Zhou Elai glanced at it a few times, his face changed slightly, and he handed the telegram to Mao Zd and said: "Comrade Runzhi, the South Asian Army reports that the 36 divisions of the Indian puppet Central Army and about 400,000 local troops have approached the periphery of the base area. And they are still digging trenches and building fortifications there, as if they want to drag us to death with the style of trench warfare in World War I! ”

"Trench warfare!?" Mao ZD took the telegram and read it carefully, and the telegram said that this is a method devised by British Lieutenant General Slim, chief of the general staff of the Indian puppet army, to use positional warfare and protracted warfare and the GC International South Asian Army to fight for attrition, in a vain attempt to use this method to consume the revolutionary armed forces!
