“…… Mr. Adolf Hitler came up with a very interesting concept: fake war. He believed that the rise of the German Reich needed an enemy, an enemy that could both unite the entire German people and get the Western world to support Germany. This enemy was none other than the Soviet Union, which was why Germany declared war on the USSR. But Germany needed only the enemy, not a real war. Moreover, Mr. Hitler was convinced that the Soviet Union did not want a real war with Germany either. The strategic defensive posture adopted by the Soviet Union after the defeat of the Pilsudski Group illustrates its willingness not to escalate the war. Therefore, the war between the Soviet Union and Germany is an illusion and a necessity of the internal affairs of the two countries. But a fake war is also a war after all, and it is likely that it will become a real war because of some small unexpected event. In order to avoid such a situation, Mr. Hitler believed that sincere and confidential communication between the Soviet Union and Germany was necessary. And China can be the intermediary between the two countries in this kind of communication. In return, Germany could provide technical help for some of China's heavy industry projects currently under construction, as well as help China train army officers and air force pilots. Germany is quite experienced in this area......"

Chang Ruiqing set aside the other items on the table and stared at the telegram from the Chinese embassy in Germany. The events in Germany and Eastern Europe during this period made Chang Ruiqing more and more worried about the future of the world. The calendar card on his desk shows that today is May 5, 1922, and the rise of Hitler and Germany is almost eleven years ahead of history, and Hitler provoked a world war in the sixth year of his reign and almost defeated the entire world. If you let this madman add a genius figure. And with the German Empire's war plane taking more than eleven years to prepare, what would be the outcome of the Second World War? At this time, there was a knock on the office door, and Chang Ruiqing didn't want to be interrupted from thinking, so he shouted. "Mu Han, I'm not a guest."

"Yes, yes, take a seat. It's Admiral Kolchak who wants to see you, but I can ......"

"Kolchak? Wait a minute. I see him. Bring us some Russian coffee. ”

The White Russian leader looked very depressed and exhausted, and even in the freshly ironed uniform of a Russian admiral, he did not show much spirit. "We lost almost 50,000 people in Berlin." He said. "They don't give us a chance to live, even if we flee to a foreign country, we have to do everything we can to kill them all, so we have to fight them to the end."

"Fight to the end, ...... do you mean"

"Mr. Hitler, Minister of Defense of the Provisional Government of Germany, extended an invitation to me and my army. He wanted us to go to Germany and fight the Bolsheviks together. ”

"You're all leaving? All the White Russians?" Chang Ruiqing's heart sank. This is not good news, although the 100,000-strong White Russian army is always a problem. However, China's industrialization and education are inseparable from more than 100,000 Belarusian engineers, technicians, and teachers.

"Of course not all of them are gone." Kolchak understood what he meant, shook his head and said, "I can't find a job even if I go to Germany...... In fact, there are some people who will come to China from Germany and other countries in Eastern Europe, if you are willing to accept it. In the aftermath of the Berlin massacre, the exiles in Eastern Europe were terrified, and now there were only two paths before them. Either fight with Germany or leave. All those who are not capable of fighting will manage to leave. Those who are capable of fighting will take up arms to defend our right to exist. ”

When Kolchak said this, Chang Ruiqing felt an indescribable sadness and desolation. He thought he knew White Russia, and he knew that most of these people loved the Russian Motherland, whether the name of the country was the Russian Empire or the Soviet Union. During the years that Kolchak and his army were in exile in China, they did not collude with the enemies of Soviet Russia, as some people predicted, and wanted to return to their homeland by any means - of course, they wanted to restore the capitalist system in Russia, but they did not want to bring any harm to their homeland, nor did they want to cooperate with those countries with ill intentions about Russian territory, and Chang Ruiqing never showed any ambition in this regard, so most of the anti-Soviet and restoration activities of Belarus were only words and deeds. If it weren't for the "extermination policy" carried out by the Soviet GCD in Berlin. Kolchak's provisional government and army will probably gradually disappear into the long river of history, and there will never be a day when they will take up arms to fight the Soviet Red Army, right?

Chang Ruiqing pondered for a moment, picked up the telegram draft on the table and handed it to Kolchak, and said with a smile: "Mr. General, this is a telegram from our embassy in Berlin, Hitler wants to communicate with us and the Soviet Union...... The Germans didn't really want to fight a real war with the Soviet Union, they just needed an enemy to make themselves more valuable to the West. So. You don't have to worry about ......"

Kolchak breathed a sigh of relief and forced a smile. "I guess that's the case, the current Germany simply doesn't have the strength to defeat the Soviet Union." When he said this, he showed a complicated look. There seems to be a little bit of pride. "To tell the truth, the Bolsheviks in Poland were very wonderful, better than us, and it seems that Russia has become strong in their hands." Kolchak said.

"I think so too," Chang Ruiqing nodded in agreement. "The Soviet Union was also stronger than I could have imagined, and Lenin and Trotsky were great leaders."

"You are also such a leader, and China has become strong under your leadership, and this strength is not built on the bones of the people." Kolchak looked at Chang Ruiqing. "So the Chinese are lucky, luckier than the Russians."

Chang Ruiqing smiled bitterly and said half-jokingly: "I want to build a powerful empire on the bones of the people, but I am taking over a country that is too backward, and it is impossible to participate in the division of the world, and it is already very good not to be divided by others." I now have to juggle all aspects of my game and maintain the image of the paper tiger. ”

Kolchak took a sip of coffee and said thoughtfully: "It is also the luck of the Chinese that you can understand this." Nicholas II did not understand, otherwise the Russian Empire would have stood for a thousand years. After saying this, he stood up and said goodbye, and shook Chang Ruiqing's hand, "Thank you for the Russian coffee, it tastes great." Thank you also for telling me the true intentions of the Germans. Goodbye, Mr. Chairman. ”

After sending Kolchak away, Chang Ruiqing dialed the phone of the Government Council and discussed with Chen Duxiu about matchmaking between the Soviet Union and Germany. Then it was decided to invite Mao Zd, chairman of the Central G, who was still visiting the Soviet Union, and Zhou E, the secretary of the Northwest Bureau, to complete this special mission.

……

When Chang Ruiqing and Chen Duxiu jointly sent a secret telegram to the Sino-G delegation in Moscow. Mao Zd, Zhou Elai, Zhong Zhijie and others were inspecting a village called "Producer's Road" southeast of Moscow. As you can tell the name, this must be a very special village, after the 11th Congress of the Communist Party of China. The People's Commissariat of Agriculture of the USSR and the Moscow Region jointly developed the "Pilot Village for Agricultural Collectivization".

According to a briefing given by the person in charge of the agricultural department of the Moscow Region, who accompanied the visit, there were originally more than 90 pus households in this village, of which 11 belonged to rich peasants, but now all their property has been confiscated and sent to Siberia, and the rest are poor and middle peasants. Although it is said to be an economic organization, in fact it has the nature of a grassroots government, and it seems to be an all-powerful department that integrates government and economy, and leads this department. Of course, it's a GCD branch or a committee. Trotsky and others envisaged that in the future the peasants and arable land of the whole Soviet Union would be placed under the leadership of such collective farms. In fact, it was concentrated under the leadership of the Soviet GCD, and to put it more thoroughly, in the future, all the peasants and agricultural products of the entire Soviet Union would be firmly under the control of the Soviet GCD

It was already May 1922, and the spring ploughing in the Soviet Union had ended, so the Chinese GCD people did not see the scene of farming, but they visited the collective farms where they were repairing water conservancy facilities with the help of cadres from nearby towns - there were probably several people digging and transporting earth in a place where a small reservoir was supposed to be built, and red flags were planted all around, and several women members of the collective farms were singing revolutionary songs to cheer everyone on. Seeing this scene, Mao Zd naturally smiled and praised the superiority of the collective farm. Zhou Elai even took off his coat and suit to work in person, allowing the accompanying Chinese reporters to take photos for a while. After a long time of excitement, it was time for dinner, and Mao Zd was going to eat with the laborers of the collective farms and taste the diet of ordinary Soviet peasants. Then a banquet with Soviet characteristics was held in the open space in front of the collective farm management committee. At the shoddy table, the collective farm aunts served dishes one after another: champagne, caviar, smoked fish, soup, chicken, steak, and cream cake...... It's all good things that you can't see on the market in the Soviet Union

During the meal, the chairman of the collective farm casually talked about the state of production. Zhong Zhijie served as the translator. Their collective farm had just been set up, and this spring was only the first time they had sown seeds, so it was not convenient to discuss the harvest. However, due to the more rational arrangement of the labor force, the work is also more efficiently organized. So the sown area has increased by 50% compared to last year, and if God doesn't make any trouble, the yield is expected to increase by 50%. Then he gave a series of numbers, how much wheat, how many oats, how many cattle, how many pigs, how many horses, and how high the standard of living was. In short, all the figures are much higher than they were before the establishment of the collective farms, thanks to the wise leadership of the GCD and the correct decisions of Comrades Lenin and Trotsky.

"Comrade Enlai, in Xinjiang, can we implement this kind of collective farm?" After listening to the introduction of the Russians, Mao ZD asked Zhou E to come.

"There is a certain degree of difficulty," Zhou immediately replied, "the main problem in Xinjiang now is that the population is insufficient, and if there is no land distribution, the peasants in the interior will not come to Xinjiang." ”

Mao ZD said with a smile: "If the Chinese peasants knew about the standard of living in the Soviet collective farms, they would probably rush to Xinjiang, right?" I think it is still necessary to intensify propaganda, Comrade Elai, don't you say?"

"Chairman, I understand what you mean," Zhou Elai thought for a moment and said, "Xinjiang is very large, and there are more than 100,000 square kilometers of land that can be cultivated along the Ili River alone. In my opinion, it is possible to practice collective farms and private ownership of land at the same time, and let the peasants in the interior choose for themselves. ”

Mao Zd nodded. Said meaningfully, "So be it." However, in my opinion, it is better to have a collective farm, and there are people in charge of production, life, and politics, so that we can exert our strength in one place...... In this way, we will be able to succeed in our business. ”

Zhou E glanced at Zhong Zhijie on the side, the head of the CG International Delegation to GC and Chang Ruiqing's spy didn't seem to notice their conversation. A member of the delegation's staff was whispering something in his ear. At this time, Zhong Zhijie nodded, waved his hand to let the staff member leave, and then turned back to Mao ZD and Zhou E: "Chairman, Zhou Ji, I just received a phone call, and the delegation received a secret telegram from China, which is about the war...... The German side sent us some kind of message to Moscow. We had better go back to Moscow at once and ask Lenin and Trotsky. ”

"Information from the German side? Do you know what it is?" Mao Zd asked.

"The Germans don't seem to want to really fight, but they want to maintain the appearance of war against the Soviet Union in order to get aid from Britain, the United States, France, and other countries."

After listening to Zhong Zhijie's words, Mao Zd's face showed joy. "Well, that's good news, we have to hurry back to Moscow and report the news to Lenin and Trotsky." He put down the chopsticks in his hand, pulled a handful of Zhou Enlai beside him, and was about to get up. Zhong Zhijie was busy greeting the cadres of the People's Commissariat of Agriculture of the USSR and the Moscow Region, who had hosted them, saying that there was an important situation to report to Comrade Lenin and Comrade Trotsky. It is no longer possible to visit...... However, the three of them all knew that because the delegation used the telephone to report the contents of the secret message to Zhong Zhijie. Therefore, those people in the Kremlin should already know what is going on - the phone number of the Chinese and G delegations is naturally under the monitoring of the Cheka.

……

Just when Mao ZD and Zhou E came to catch up with them to Moscow City. Inside the Kremlin, a meeting of the Communist Party was already discussing a fake war with Germany.

"It seems that the German reactionaries are afraid of us and have a fake war...... The Germans are smarter than they used to be, and they know how to fool the imperialist powers of Britain, the United States and France. I think it would be possible to play such a play with them, Comrade Lenin, what do you think?"

There was a smile on his face as he spoke, Trotsky, who had just returned from Minsk, as a great commander in chief who had liberated Poland and East Prussia. In this war, his prestige had already overshadowed Lenin, and it was only a matter of time before he became the first person in the Communist Party.

Lenin also had a faint smile on his face. "Hmm. This matter still needs to be considered. The Germans were able to get assistance from Anglo-American and French through the fake war, but what about us? What do we get? Western powers such as Britain, the United States, France, etc., are now blockading us. Our war with Germany gave them the excuse that if there was no formal armistice, we would be kept blockaded, which was very detrimental to the first five-year plan. ”

"Even if there is an armistice with Germany, we will still be blockaded." Kletinsky interjected.

"Yes, imperialism will never abandon the blockade to strangle the Soviet Union." Kamenev also began to echo Trotsky. Lenin's face was slightly filial piety. But it was quickly covered up. Then, the president of GC International, Dimiviev, made the same statement. In the political bureau, Lenin was actually isolated

Trotsky smiled with satisfaction and said to Lenin. "Comrade Vladimir Ilyich. In fact, it was Tukhachev who took the defensive. He believes that the right-wing forces in Germany have now united and temporarily overwhelmed the left, and they have organized an army of 600,000 to 700,000 men, although most of them are paramilitary forces with less reliable combat effectiveness. But Germany is a country with a deep military tradition, and there is no shortage of good officers and soldiers. ”

Lenin frowned. He agreed with Tukhachevsky, and in fact there was a fear of Germany throughout Europe. If the opponents were the Polish and Romanian armies, the Soviet Red Army would have fought them a long time ago, but the Germans, who had to look up to everyone, could not be regarded as a rabble

"Lev Davydovich," Lenin said mildly. "I'm not against a ceasefire with Germany, in fact I want a formal ceasefire agreement."

"Then we will have to return East Prussia to the Germans along with the denzig," Trotsky pointed out, "and that is impossible, so we will either defeat Germany or we will have to maintain this situation of neither war nor peace."

"But what about the international blockade? We need import machines and export agricultural products...... This was required for the first five-year plan. ”

Trotsky thought for a moment, "We can trade with China or Japan, and we will need to give them a little profit, but we will still be able to buy what we need." I think the Chinese GCD will be willing to help us, right?"

"Their standing committee chairman will also help us, and we can also find agents in Japan." The president of GC International added: "For the sake of profit, capitalists can even take the risk of killing their heads"

Lenin glanced at Timiviev. "Well, when the Chinese GCDs return to Moscow, you can go to them and see if you can reach any trade agreement." ()
