648 Japan's ambition Ask for a subscription Ask for a ticket

American Ambassador Jensen nodded slightly, and from Chiang Kai-shek's answer, he already understood. The "government" of China has no intention of fighting an all-out war with the Soviet Union. Their purpose in supporting the Trotskyites was the same as that of the Soviet Union's support for the G, except that they wanted to create chaos in the other side's country, and it could also be a retaliatory action against the Soviet Union's support for the G.

If things can really develop according to the Chinese people's vision, it will be in line with Washington's demands, and Jensen's mood suddenly relaxed, and a smile gradually appeared on his face.

British Ambassador Lan Pusheng and ChargΓ© d'Affaires Shigemitsu Aoi also heard their conversation clearly, and Lan Pusheng laughed secretly in his heart, these Chinese people are using the Soviets' usual output to deal with the Soviet Union! If this is done right, it will make Stalin, a tyrant, tired of dealing with the chaos, and it will also be good for stabilizing the British Empire's colonies around the world.

Chongguang Kui frowned slightly, and couldn't help but be a little disappointed in his heart, after Trotsky left China, he went to Japan, where he had frequent contact with important military and political officials in Japan, asking for help, and during this period, he also intentionally or unintentionally mentioned the establishment of a Far Eastern Republic in the Far East, but he did not elaborate on whether this republic was an independent country or a union republic of the Soviet Union.

Moreover, Shigemitsu also found from the speeches of Chiang Kai-shek and Luo Yaoguo that they seemed to have little confidence in Trotsky's "revolution" and more as a tool to create chaos for the Soviet Union......... Their aim seems to be to keep the Soviet Union in chaos for a few years, not to overthrow Stalin's tyranny, or even to prop up a Far Eastern republic to divide the Soviet Union.

However, there were people in Japan who wanted to split the Soviet Far East by supporting Trotsky, and then bring the Far East into Japan's sphere of influence, thus replacing Manchuria as the new lifeline of Japan.

However, Japan certainly does not have the strength to realize this grand idea, and it must achieve its goal through cooperation with China, Britain, and the United States. And this involves very complex entanglements and games of interest. According to the analysis of the think tanks of the Japanese army and navy, Trotsky's army at present is mainly composed of two parts: one is the Trotskyist armed forces of the "Chinese" country headed by Wang Zhongyi, which are obviously supported by the "government" of the "Chinese" people and represent the interests of the "Chinese" country; the second is composed of Soviet prisoners of labor reform, and this part of the people certainly does not want the "Chinese" people to have too much power within the Soviet Trotskyists, and Trotsky himself should hold the same view, so he will frequently make overtures and ask for help from the "Japanese". Trotsky must have had the intention of using Japan to restrain China, and Japan was also using Trotsky's intention to seize the interests of the Soviet Far East.

However, this does not mean that Japan could have taken over Trotsky's plate alone, and even if it only wanted to split the Soviet Far East, it could not have done without the cooperation of China. But if the purpose of China's support for Trotsky was only to create problems for the Soviet Union...... The hope of the Japanese is about to be disappointed.

"Mr. Lord, I wonder if your 'government' has considered splitting the Soviet Far East from its territory and forming an independent Far Eastern Republic?" Chongguang Aoi nodded slightly at Hu Hanmin, and pulled out a smile that didn't know the meaning.

Hu Hanmin was stunned when he heard this, he did not know whether Trotsky had told Japan about the plan of the "Far East Buffer State", or whether Japan himself had such an idea. Thinking of this, his gaze swept over the faces of the British and American ambassadors, and seeing that they were calm, he smiled faintly: "Whether or not a state should be established in the Far East depends entirely on the course of the Soviet civil war and the wishes of Mr. Trotsky, and of course the opinions of the British and American friends. ”

"This" The two ambassadors of the Anglo-American friends looked at each other, how did they pull up the topic of splitting the Soviet Far East again? Moreover, it was proposed by China and Japan together, did they have some tacit understanding?

Looking at the hesitant expressions of the British and American ambassadors, Hu Hanmin hurriedly explained: "Considering that relations with the Soviet Union will not be broken, the 'government' of China has now ceased all support for Trotsky, so we have no set goal on the question of whether or not to establish a buffer state in the Far East."

After listening to Hu Hanmin's speech, the British and American ambassadors were still confused and shook their heads a little blankly. How can these Chinese people be inconsistent when they speak, I don't know what to say? They had said earlier that they were going to support Trotsky in dealing with Stalin, so why did they stop all support at this time?

"Sir Rampusheng, Mr. Jensen, Mr. Shigemon." Luo Yaoguo saw their suspicions, and simply made it clear: "The situation in the Soviet Far East and Eastern Siberia was indeed provoked by our 'government'. However, our 'government' did not wish a full-scale war with the Soviet Union, so we announced the severance of all contact with Trotsky before the situation in the Far East deteriorated.

On the surface, General Wang's actions have nothing to do with us...... All this was done to ease tensions with the Soviet Union. As he spoke, he looked at Chongguang Kui meaningfully: "However, it is clear that Mr. Trotsky's revolution still needs supporters, and this supporter should not be a neighbor of the Soviet Union, but not too far from the Soviet Union, and strong enough. I wonder if Japan is interested in replacing China as the main supporter of Trotsky? ”

Chongguang Aoi hurriedly turned his head to look at the British ambassador Lan Pusheng, and when he saw that he looked indifferent, he breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked nervously: "What about your country's opinion of the Far Eastern Republic?" ”

Hu Hanmin shook his head and said with great certainty! "No... This matter has nothing to do with us. Everything is to Mr. Trotsky, and we have no opinion as long as he agrees to the establishment of the Far Eastern Republic. ”

"But it is impossible for Japan to support Trotsky against the whole of the Soviet Union." Chongguang Aoi hesitated, but still shook his head: "The proposal of the Japanese Empire is for China, Britain, the United States, and Japan to jointly intervene in the Soviet civil war and provide military and economic support to Trotsky. ”

"The United States is now facing the worst economic depression in its history, and I am afraid that there is not much left to help Mr. Trotsky's cause." As the world's largest ambassador to the United States, Jensen took up the question very consciously: "But the American 'government' is still prepared to provide five million dollars worth of food for the relief of the Soviet prisoners liberated by Trotsky, but this is only for humanitarian purposes, not to interfere in the Soviet civil war." ”

"The British 'government' can also provide two million British humanitarian aid, and of course must buy British-made products." Sir Lampson's statement was similar to that of the Americans, except that the aid was larger, mainly because the British colonies were more threatened by GCISM.

"So how much help would the Sun have been willing to give? Luo Yaoguo was slightly disappointed with the support of Britain and the United States, and these two countries still seemed reluctant to accept orders from the Soviet Union for those machinery and equipment.

Shigemitsu Aoi pondered for a moment before he said solemnly: "The Imperial 'Government' will provide the necessary military assistance for Mr. Trotsky's uprising, including organizing the Soviet Navy to enter the Sea of Okhotsk with the Navy, providing no more than 30 million yen of weapons and ammunition, including a number of river gunboats capable of being used in the Amur River, and the warships ordered by the Soviet Union at the shipyard in Japan. β€¦οΌŒ

August 26, Vladivostok. Command of the Far Eastern Front of the Soviet Workers' and Peasants' Red Army (Trotsky).

Wang Zhongyi was talking to Lin Yurong and Tang Yao at this time, if in the past he was just a pawn of the Kuomintang and Luo Yaoguo, then now he has obviously gotten rid of the command of the chess player and began to go alone. However, after breaking away from the control of the Kuomintang and entering the Soviet Union, it faced more difficulties and crises than before. In the past, his task was only to firmly control the power in his hands and not let the G7 infiltrate, but now he has to face the survival and development of the entire military bloc. In the absence of the Kuomintang, the Minister of Logistics, all logistical supplies seemed to have become difficult.

It was clear that the territory of the Soviet Far East Primorsky Zone, which he and Trotsky had in their hands, could not sustain the hundreds of thousands of Trotskyist Red Army for long, and the imaginary international aid did not come in on a rolling basis. Stalin's crusade was approaching, and according to the information provided by Trotsky, a 'Mao' named Budyonny had been sent to Chita, and with him hundreds of thousands of allied Red Army! Equipped with countless heavy artillery, tanks, and planes! It's coming soon.

And the 200,000 troops he has have only about a thousand light artillery pieces, and less than thirty 122-mm and 152-mm howitzers captured from the Soviet Red Army, and there are not many ammunition "medicine"!

Tanks, planes and whatnot! As for Trotsky's army of prisoners in labor camps, it has so far only organized two armies, with a total strength of only 50,000 or 60,000 men, and its weapons and equipment are just as rudimentary. With this strength, it is really a bit of a headache to deal with the Soviet Red Army, which is more than twice as numerous and has far more weapons and equipment than its own energy! If you are not careful, you may end up with the annihilation of the whole army, and your dream of building an independent country will come to naught. At this time, he even missed Luo Yaoguo, the righteous brother who always regarded himself as a puppet commander! If he were in his position, what kind of tricks would he use to turn the situation around?

Lin Yurong and Tang Yao both silently followed behind Wang Zhongyi, watching him think about things in circles in the huā garden. I don't dare to break the current silence. Wang Zhongyi in front of him is already in power, and he is no longer the puppet who was "" by Luo Yaoguo. Generals like them with a Kuomintang background have now felt the domineering of the ** demon king, and they all feel a little atmospheric and dare not breathe in front of Wang Zhongyi, but they don't have this annoying feeling in front of Chiang Kai-shek and Luo Yaoguo, and it seems that serving the dictator is really not an easy errand.

And what makes Lin Yurong and Tang Yao feel even more headache is that there are still two dictators in Vladivostok now! Wang Zhongyi and Trotsky! Although these two people still look like brothers at the moment, everyone can feel the rift between them. Now that Stalin's army is pressing, they may still be able to cooperate, but if the crisis passes in the future, will this situation of two tigers still be maintained? In addition, the day himself was squeezing into Vladivostok with his head sharpened, and it seemed that he was united with Trotsky. Such a complex and abnormal situation really made them a little overwhelmed.

"Yurong, how is the defense line of the Amur River arranged?" Wang Zhongyi suddenly stopped and asked in a low voice.

"Report to the Commander-in-Chief that at this stage our forces in the Far East are insufficient, and it is difficult to take care of the entire Amur River Basin, so we are only concentrating our forces in the vicinity of Boli to arrange defense. Tian Chengye's Third Army Corps and Chen Tian's Second Army Corps are now deployed there, with a total strength of 120,000, and the front army's heavy artillery regiment is also attached to Boli City. Furthermore...... He also promised Trotsky a few gunboats, piloted by sailors from the labor camps, which would soon be able to enter the Amur. Oh, and there is also a White Russian division [Japan] himself who plans to let them come, and the backbone of those people is that the White Russian army in the Soviet and Russian civil war was very combative. There were about 10,000 men, and when they arrived, they would be sent to the Amur line of defense......"

Wang Zhongyi whispered to himself: "There are only 130,000 or 40,000 people guarding the Amur River, which is not enough..."

Can they give a few more regiments of heavy artillery? No firepower can hold the Amur River defense line! ”

Tang Yao was awakened by his words, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "It's a bit of a problem, they are willing to give artillery, but they are not willing to give artillery." Without artillery, it would be useless for this cannon to come. The Wuhan side is now reluctant to get into too much trouble with the Soviet Union, but the telegram sent to me by the assistant commander said that he would be able to provide us with large-scale assistance as long as next summer, and until then, he wanted us to hold the Amur River. He paused and then said: "In addition, I have recently heard a rumor that Trotsky intends to form a Far Eastern Republic, and it seems that he does not want to compete with Stalin for the world!" ”

Wang Zhongyi nodded slightly, and there was a hint of mockery on his face: "That Trotsky wants to be a prince and king if he can't be emperor." I just don't know if Stalin can accommodate him, a big tiger sleeping next to the couch...... But if he really declares the independence of the Far East, then our future work will be easy. But for now, we still have to hold the Amur River, and only by defending it can we have our Far East! Are you sure about your appearance? ”

Lin Yurong looked up and thought for a moment: "Do your best." Zhong Shuai, after all, we are fighting against a military power, and it is very difficult to defeat it, very difficult.

However, it can be done by delaying for two or three years, and if there is any external help, it may really be possible to achieve the goal of establishing a state in the Far East. ”

"Oh, can it drag on for two or three years? Wang Zhongyi raised his eyebrows: "Are you saying that the Amur River defense line can be held for two or three years?" ”

Lin Yurong shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Where can you hold the entire Amur River, at most, you can concentrate your forces to guard a section near Boli." The river is wide, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it also holds the key point of the Trans-Siberian Railway. If we had controlled the Soviet Red Army with heavy troops, we would not have attacked before the river froze, but by then our defenses would have been impregnable, and it should be no problem to hold on for a winter. ”

"Then will the Soviet Red Army bypass the lower reaches of the Amur River and copy the back road of Boli?"

Wang Zhongyi said again.

"Probably will? ..., Lin Yurong smiled indifferently: "However, the transportation situation in the Far East of the Soviet Union is very poor, and once it leaves the supply of the Trans-Siberian Railway, it will be difficult to maintain the logistics line of the army."

In fact......... It was not our 200,000 troops that protected us from being wiped out by Stalin, but Stalin's long logistical line! As he spoke, the corners of his mouth curled into a somewhat sly smile: "Let's fight this battle is a procrastination, we must do everything we can to delay, and we must also try our best to destroy the communication lines in the Far East." If Boli can't hold it, let's retreat to Vladivostok Fortress and hold on! As long as the flames of civil war on the territory of the USSR are not extinguished, our mission will be completed! ”

Wuhan East Lake, General Staff, Luo Yaoguo took the telegram sent by Lin Yurong, and proudly said to Bai Chongxi: "It seems that Lin Yurong has eaten through our strategy, Brother Jiansheng, if this Soviet civil war can drag on for a few years, it will seriously weaken the Soviet Union's banquet power, and in the future, we will have much less resistance to deal with it." ”

Bai Chongxi was also extremely excited, in fact, he was also taken aback when he heard that Luo Yaoguo had the ambition to destroy the Soviet Union, and he was still a little afraid of such a behemoth as the Soviet Union. But seeing the current plan... It is being implemented step by step, and he has a little more hope for future victories.

"Yes, Brother Fuwen, in fact, as long as we are determined to help Vladivostok, I think this fortress can be defended forever, and Stalin Huā will not be able to defeat it in the last ten years! If Vladivostok can be held on the southern front, relying on the Kolyma Mountains on the northern front, and then attacking the Soviet Far East and the eastern coast of East Siberia with sea superiority, the Soviet Union will definitely be exhausted, dragged down, and dragged to death. ”

Luo Yaoguo laughed and drank. *Brown: "Good! Brother Jiansheng is worthy of being a famous general of our party and country, in the end, it is not comparable to a junior like Lin Yurong, this plan is much more ruthless than simply guarding Boli and Vladivostok. Stalin is afraid that he will not be able to defeat Vladivostok in his life! ”

Bai Chongxi also smiled slightly: "Where am I a famous general of the party-state, the Soviet Union has gotten to such a point, isn't it all the calculations of the auxiliary brothers?" As he spoke, he frowned again: "It's just that I'm afraid I'm going to get a lot of benefits from this Far East War." Now they are supporting Trotsky in the establishment of some Far Eastern republic, and I wonder if it will turn the Far East into a second Manchuria? ”

"That's right! And the "Day" himself! We can't forget about them, if we don't give them a little sweetness, how can they be willing to get involved in the affairs of the Far East? Luo Yaoguo waved his hand indifferently and said with a smile: "The Ri Benhai and the Okhotsk Sea are close to the Riben, and as far away from us, what will happen to the Riben in the end depends on their own creation, but I am very pessimistic about this." ”!。
