February 8, 1925, the first day after the Lantern Festival, is destined to be a big day that attracts the attention of thousands of people. The "People's Revolutionary Party Rebellion and Traitor Case," which has been hotly hyped up for more than two months and has attracted the attention of the people of the whole country, has finally reached the day of the official trial. The reason why it is said to be a formal trial is because before this, Zhang Guotao had planned two fake "rehearsals", and during the first rehearsal, sure enough, several unsightly internationalist fighters retracted their confessions in court and did not admit that there was any "Chinese People's Revolutionary Party Soviet GCD Secret Agreement". As a result, he was naturally subjected to inhuman torture, and the full set of Cheka torture was brought down, and the whole person was tortured for three days and three nights, and all the criminals were allowed to observe on the spot. By the time of the second rehearsal, all the people had learned to be obedient, and honestly proceeded according to the arrangement of "Director Zhang Da", and there was no problem.

By the way, the lawyer group headed by Mr. Zhang Shizhao actually participated in these two rehearsals! Moreover, after that, all the lawyers kept their mouths shut, and it was not until after the death of the dictator of Chang that the descendants of Barrister Zhang disclosed a little truth about the trial of the century in the form of memoirs, and the government of the Chinese Federal Republic at that time of course vigorously denied it......

Without mentioning these later words, let us draw our eyes back to the small meeting room of the Nanjing Army Prison on February 8, 1925. The "People's Revolutionary Party Rebellion and Treason Case" will be tried here, and this case will naturally be tried not by an ordinary civilian court, but by a special military court, but the whole process will be open (the previous rehearsals are not counted). The venue, which was originally scheduled to seat 300 people, is now crowded into more than 200 Chinese and foreign journalists. More than 300 well-known personalities, as well as more than 100 representatives of the Kuomintang, GCD, and Progressive Party, crowded the place. The buzz filled the room. This year is an election year, and the Kuomintang and the Progressive Party have formed a campaign alliance, so the representatives of the two parties are sitting together, discussing the impact of this trial on the election, and many people are optimistic, believing that it is impossible to completely dismiss the relationship between China and the G, the GC International, and the Soviet Union, so the two parties are in this anti-Soviet and anti-trust environment. You always get some more votes. The representatives of the GCD were a little silent, and most of them complained in their hearts about Chang Ruiqing's behavior of ignoring the interests of the party and expanding the "People's Revolutionary Party's rebellion and betrayal of the country".

And the big names are not thinking about the election at all. At present, most of the non-party celebrities are big bourgeoisie. The demonizing propaganda against the People's Revolutionary Party and the Soviet Union in the newspapers made these people not only frightened, but also somewhat suspicious and angry. The question is whether the propaganda of the newspapers was directed by the Nationalist Government. The anger was due to the attitude of the People's Revolutionary Party towards the bourgeoisie, who had not experienced any revolutionary storms. The Chinese bourgeoisie did not realize the heinous nature of their exploitation of the working masses. So I heard that someone was going to take their property. Chop off their skulls, of course, and they will be annoyed.

Suddenly, there was a disturbance in the crowd, and then people were heard saying in a disorderly manner: "** and Chairman Jiang are here!" ”

Then Mao Zd and Jiang Jshi, who were wearing long shirts and horse coats, walked in from the gate of the venue side by side, surrounded by a group of entourage, and talked with great interest as they walked.

Jiang J-shi is now the banner of the Kuomintang, and Hu Hanmin gave up the position of party chairman to Chiang J-shi on the eve of the Spring Festival in 1925, and he is ready to return to Guangdong. Guangdong Province is the nest of the Kuomintang, the chairman of Guangdong Province and the legislator and political councilor of the Guangdong constituency. All of them are fought for by the Kuomintang. And Hu Hanmin is going to fight for the chairman of Guangdong Province. Jiang Jshi's roots are in Shanghai, and half of the people in the Jiangsu-Zhejiang consortium support him. Most of the intellectuals in Shanghai also supported him as a democrat, so Lao Chiang's own constituency was in Shanghai, and if nothing else, a member of the Central Committee for Political Affairs could still win it.

Mao Zd's constituency is in Nanjing, and Chang Ruiqing has a lot of supporters in Nanjing. Chang Ruiqing himself will go to his hometown Xuzhou to participate in the election of the political participation committee, and he has been in Xuzhou for the past two days to pay tribute to the vote and has not returned to Nanjing. By the way, the person who competed with Chang Ruiqing for the seat of the political councilor was his "mentor", Xu Shuzheng, a member of the Progressive Party.

Since Chang Ruiqing is not in Nanjing, today is the limelight of Mao ZD and Jiang Jshi, but the two of them did not sit in the front row, but Mao ZD pulled Jiang Jshi to sit in the middle and back row. Jiang Jishi didn't quite understand why Mao ZD did this, and Mao ZD didn't explain with a smile. In fact, today's seats for him and Jiang Jshi were arranged by Zhang Guotao, the chief director. It is not to refute the faces of the two of them, but to prevent the prisoners who are about to be tried from recognizing such a scene as this, those backbone of the People's Revolutionary Party and internationalist fighters have seen them twice, but neither Mao ZD nor Jiang Jshi appeared, if they saw them, even a fool would know that this trial was a real thing.

Seeing that the two party chairmen had already sat down, Zhang Guotao, who was sitting in the first row, waved his right hand lightly. A side door of the venue was violently pushed open, and a group of military policemen in straight uniforms and white helmets walked into the hall with straight faces, standing in a cordon facing the judgment seat. Everyone was quiet, waiting for the big show to begin. Three military judges also entered, the first was Lieutenant General Luo Yiqun, director of the Military Judge Advocate General of the National Defense Forces, followed by two military judges with the rank of major general, one was a naval officer and the other was an air force officer. It can be regarded as the military judges of the navy, army and air force.

Then the main culprits of the "People's Revolutionary Party Rebellion and Traitor Case", Ren Fucheng, Mifu, Braun, Chen Shaoyu, and Lu Shen, walked in handcuffs. Each was accompanied by two gendarmes. And the appearance of these five people is also different, Ren Fucheng is a radiant look, his tall figure is like an iron tower, his eyes are sharp, and every glance seems to be telling the blood that has boiled in his heart. As soon as he stood still, he began to sing the "Internationale" in Russian. When Mao ZD saw his watch, he just sighed in his heart. It's a pity!

There are also four people who are not as good as one crab, two foreign devils. Miff and Braun still maintain basic decency, at least they walked in by themselves, while Chen Shaoyu and Lu Shen were weak and couldn't walk. Two gendarmes were called in.

Then came the lawyers' group, a group of white-faced scholars in suits and leather shoes, all with elongated faces, looking very reluctant to help defend the traitors, many of whom had been physically threatened! In the end, it was the Wehrmacht's Judge Advocate General's Bureau that published a public statement saying that they had been appointed by the state to provide legal aid to the traitors!

Luo Yiqun, who was sitting on a high place, asked in Cantonese Chinese: "Defendants Ren Fucheng, Mifu, Braun, Chen Shaoyu, and Lu Chen. Have you experienced yourself? The five people below nodded their heads, and then someone shouted for them, "Five defendants." It's all here! ”

Luo Yiqun put on a bad face with no deterrent effect, and said loudly: "Please the prosecution, read out the indictment!" A prosecutor in the uniform of an army colonel stood up. The indictment began to be read aloud.

The content of the public is very complicated, and the prosecution accused Ren Fucheng and others of three main crimes: first, the crime of participating in organizing an armed rebellion; the second is to sentence the state for crimes; The third is the crime of espionage. Two of the foreign devils are facing charges of participating in organizing an armed rebellion and espionage, and they have not been sentenced to the state. The three Chinese face all three charges. In addition to these three main crimes. They also face more than a dozen miscellaneous charges such as arms smuggling, drug trafficking, murder, robbery, theft, kidnapping, extortion, bribery, bribery, fraud, rumor-mongering, illegal entry, vandalism, illegal possession of weapons, manufacture or possession of false documents, membership in terrorist organizations, and so on.

Although this is not the first time I have heard such a large number of charges. However, Chen Shaoyu and Lu Shen at the scene were still almost crying, only one-third of these charges were confirmed, and they were not enough to cut off their heads! Moreover, Chang Ruiqing, a revisionist reactionary, is obviously not very good at speaking, and he actually does not accept their betrayal! You must take the lives of both of them!

As for Miff and Braun, they are also panicked, although the two of them are missing a treason, but the final result is definitely a dead end! And they died as traitors, because they both confessed all their crimes in order to suffer less flesh and skin. betrayed the organization and wrote a letter to Chang Ruiqing begging for his life.

The funniest is the German Otto. Braun. In order to survive and leave the palace of Hades in Nanjing Army Prison as soon as possible, as an internationalist fighter and German GCD cadre, he actually had the cheekiness to write a letter to the German Imperial Embassy in China asking for help, and also proposed to join the German Nazi Party in the distress letter! However, the German embassy replied to him: "The Ministry of the Interior of the German Reich has already issued a warrant for your arrest, and when you finish serving your sentence in China, the German government will extradite you to China for trial......

However, Comrade Braun had absolutely no need to worry about being extradited back to Germany, because he would have committed those crimes that would have been a dead end according to Chinese law.

After the colonel of the Judicial Prosecution Division of the Wehrmacht finished reading the dozens of pages of the indictment, the trial began to be debated by the prosecution and defense. One witness after another was summoned to testify in court, and one after another perjury testimony that cost Comrade Zhang Guotao a lot of painstaking effort was submitted. One of the most eye-catching is naturally the original copy of the "Chinese People's Revolutionary Party Soviet GCD Secret Agreement". Several handwriting experts, who are said to be internationally renowned, also gave a unanimous opinion that Skryansky's signature on this agreement was indeed genuine!

Four of the five main perpetrators of the "People's Revolutionary Party Rebellion and Traitor Case" tearfully confessed to all the charges and to participating in the formulation of the notorious "Chinese People's Revolutionary Party's Soviet GCD Secret Agreement." Only Ren Fucheng insisted that he did not know about the existence of this secret agreement, and he also made an impassioned speech.

“…… You call us treason. You're right, dear gentlemen, and that's exactly what we are. The experience accumulated by the world proletarian revolution over the past several decades has called us to carry out the line of betraying the bourgeois state, or to smash the state machine, in short, we must completely overthrow, annihilate, and smash the reactionary revisionist state machine with the help of the Soviet Union and the GC International, and liberate all the working people and oppressed nations under the oppression of this reactionary state machine! Let them really be in charge!

What are working people? In China, at this stage, it is the working class, the peasant class, but excluding the rich peasants and upper middle peasants. These two classes, under the leadership of the working class and the People's Revolutionary Party, are united. Forming their own states, electing their own governments, and imposing the harshest repression against the bourgeoisie, the bureaucratic class, the landlord class, and the revisionist and bourgeois parties that represent them, as well as their army, police, and accomplices. Wipe them all out of the world! Just like the Russian Bolsheviks did after the victory of the Russian Revolution!

What are the oppressed nations? In the past, the entire Chinese nation was an oppressed nation, but under the reactionary rule of revisionism and capitalist parties, China turned into imperialism by selling itself to British, French, and German imperialism, and thus oppressed nations emerged under the mechanism of the revisionist state. It includes the Japanese and Russian ethnic groups in the Far East, the Mongolian ethnic groups in Inner and Outer Mongolia, and the Uyghur and Kazakh ethnic groups in Northern Xinjiang, Southern Xinjiang and Outer Xinjiang. The Tibetans in Tibet and Qinghai, the Yi, Miao, and Bai in Yunnan, Guichuan, and the Manchus in the three eastern provinces are all oppressed ethnic groups! Our party's policy is to liberate them. Give them the right and freedom of national self-determination. If they want to establish an independent state of the dictatorship of the proletariat outside China, or to join the Soviet Union and Soviet Japan, our People's Revolutionary Party also fully respects their choice, and this is the national policy of our People's Revolutionary Party.

As for the "Secret Agreement of the Chinese Revolutionary Party Soviet GCD", I have not heard of such a thing, and I do not think that the People's Revolutionary Party will sign such an agreement with the Soviet GCD. Because it was completely unnecessary, even without this agreement, the Soviet GCD and GC International would do everything possible to support the liberation of the Chinese people. After the People's Revolutionary Party has smashed the revisionist state apparatus, it will absolutely no longer oppress the ethnic minorities in the Far East, Mongolia, Manchus, Sanjiang, Tibet, Qinghai, and other places. I will not stop them from pursuing freedom and liberation......"

Tongshan County (Xuzhou), Chang Mansion.

"Chairman, this is a telegram from Director Zhang."

Chang Ruiqing stood up from behind his desk abruptly, walked over in three steps and two steps, and took the telegram from Zeng Qi's hand. Chang Laohu and Xu Shuzheng, who were sitting cross-legged in the study, glanced at each other. Xu Shuzheng came down at the invitation of Chang Laohu and Chang Ruiqing to release his previous suspicions. Seeing that the first person in China today was also anxious, a faint smile appeared on the corner of Xu Shuzheng's mouth. Chang Laohu just shook his head slowly.

How did they know the importance of the trial of the century being staged in Nanjing today for the future of China? Chang Ruiqing is in power, and China is barely rising, and it looks pretty good. But Chang Ruiqing knows that the current Chinese nation has a strong inertia, and it is by no means the kind of emerging nation full of enterprising spirit! Last year, following Britain to send troops to Persia, it caused a lot of criticism, and if they want to participate in World War II and attack the Soviet Union in the future, I don't know how many people will oppose it?

For the sake of a possible war in ten years, it is necessary to package the USSR as the mortal enemy of China from now on! Only by making it clear to the people of the whole country that the Soviet Union is bent on destroying China will the common people be willing to follow the dictator of Chang Da to take the road of no return to militarism!

That's why Chang Ruiqing played the anti-Soviet card in the Kuomintang and then fanned the flames, and now the anti-Soviet sentiment of the people of the whole country has been incited by the GCD, the Kuomintang and the Progressive Party. The Soviet Union, the GC International, and the Chinese People's Revolutionary Party have all become targets of everyone's shouting.

But the Chinese people are not fools, and the Chinese intellectuals are not particularly confused. If we do not have a public trial and let everyone see the threat of the Soviet Union and the ironclad evidence of the betrayal of the People's Party, this anti-Soviet trend may not last long. Without such a trend, it would not be easy to bring a not-so-belligerent boss nation to the battlefield of a world war!

Chang Ruiqing took the copy of the telegram, read it at a glance, and then read it carefully again before he let out a long sigh.

"Shine like ......"

Seeing the change in his son's facial expression, Chang Laohu couldn't help but speak, but when the words came to his mouth, he didn't know what to ask.

"Is it the result of the Nanjing trial of the People's Revolutionary Party's rebellion and treason?" Xu Shuzheng asked quietly.

Chang Ruiqing turned to him and smiled: "Teacher, you always guessed well." ”

"How?" Old Man Chang also interjected.

Chang Ruiqing smiled and said: "I haven't been sentenced yet, but Ren Fucheng, chairman of the People's Revolutionary Party, made a speech in court and almost admitted all the charges." ”

Xu Shuzheng smiled bitterly and sighed: "Then our war with Red Russia is really inevitable...... Yaoru, this Red Russia is very powerful! Are you sure? ”

Chang Ruiqing shook his head and said: "Grasp is hard work, and creation is not based on empty words." With Ren Fucheng's speech, the whole of China will understand that a war between China and the Soviet Union is inevitable, and as for whether we can win it, it depends on whether we can make good use of the next ten years! Saying that, he looked at Xu Shuzheng sincerely: "Teacher, you are still young, it is the time to do a career, this political participation committee, I think you should not choose, it is better to come out and do a career with students."
