October of the twentieth year of the Republic of China. Inner méng Suiyuan.

Outside the mouth, it is already late autumn and early winter, and the sky is exceptionally clear and bright in this season. As far as the eye can see, the vast méng ancient grassland is covered with gold. Dotted with small méng bags. The flock of sheep, which looked like a cloud of nose, was submerged in the grass more than one person high, faintly. Between the whole heaven and earth, there is really a little bit of poetry.

Sitting in the car, Zhou E came to take a look at the grassland style here, but there was no sudden feeling of enlightenment in his heart, and he was still shrouded in a depression. At this moment, he was holding two yellow sè copy newspapers tightly in his hands, both of which were marked with the words "top secret" in eye-catching red sè! It has been some time since these two copies of the newspaper were personally handed over to him by Gu Shunzhang, but he did not pass the news on them to the Politburo of the Central Committee, because the information on them was really appalling!

The "Mao" zd sitting next to him was a little surprised at this time, he was forced by Zhou Elai to inspect the steel plant today, but after the car drove out of Baotou City, he had been circling around on the official road, and he knew that Zhou Elai must have something extraordinary to discuss with him. But now Zhou Elai has not spoken, his eyebrows have always been slightly wrinkled, and his eyes are extremely solemn. The "Mao" zd who is familiar with Zhou Elai knows that this old comrade-in-arms must have some very difficult decision in his heart.

"Runzhi, do you think we are internationalists or nationalists? Is the purpose of our revolution to make China strong or to liberate all mankind? ”

Just when "Mao" ZD was about to lose patience, Zhou Elai suddenly asked some questions that seemed to be about life ideals.

"Mao" zd was stunned, he had already seen that Zhou E's mood was a little wrong during this time, he thought it was because the party's cause was suffering a setback, but he didn't expect to ask such an esoteric question!

"Come, of course, we are internationalists, but we also hope that China will become strong, and the purpose of our revolution is precisely to build a prosperous, prosperous and powerful new China!"

Zhou Elai glanced at the "Mao" zd with a natural look, and said with a wry smile: "Then if there is a conflict between China's strength and internationalism, then how should we choose?" ”

"Mao" zd raised his eyebrows, and said in his heart, is it because of the differences between the two parties in China and the Soviet Union during this time? He smiled slightly: "E, of course we have to consider the interests of China first, we are GCD of China!" Only by first liberating the people of China and building China into a prosperous, rich and powerful socialist country can we help the other oppressed people of the world to free themselves from the reactionary rule of imperialism...... Didn't the USSR itself do the same? This is called "socialism in one country", and Stalin also means this. ”

"Oh! Is that really the case? Zhou Elai glanced at "Mao" with a meaningful look, handed over the two copies of the telegram in his hand, and said faintly: "This is a secret telegram sent back by Comrade Li Shuning and another comrade lurking in the core of the Youth Army, and both secret telegrams mention that the Kuomintang has a criminal plan to unite imperialism to destroy the Soviet Union!" Moreover, the presiding officer and formulator of this plan is our old friend Marshal Luo Yaoguo! ”

"What!" "Mao" zd's face changed greatly, and he hurriedly picked up two copies of the newspaper and read them carefully. Copying the contents of the newspaper is what Zhou Elai said, the Kuomintang is planning an earth-shattering plot to destroy the Soviet Union! No, not just the planning, but the implementation has already begun! The civil war in the Soviet Far East, which is currently taking place, is part of this conspiracy! Moreover, the warlord Wang Zizheng in the northwest was also obviously a participant in this conspiracy, and the Kuomintang handed over the northwest to him in order to use his iron fist to build the northwest, which was very complicated in the national issue, into a stable rear for the invasion of the Soviet Union......

Now that this goal should have been achieved, the second step of the plan for the construction of the logistics base has begun.

Zhou Elai glanced at the "Mao" zd with a blue face, and said in a low voice: "Judging from all aspects, the Kuomintang's plan to destroy the Soviet Union... It should be divided into two parts: the tired Soviet Union and the dead Soviet Union. The civil war provoked by the Trotskyites was supposed to be part of the Soviet fatigue, with the aim of disrupting the development of heavy industry in the Soviet Union..., creating the possibility for China to catch up with the Soviet Union in heavy industry, and now it seems that this goal is about to be achieved. And the dead Su part...... Not much is known about it now, except that the Kuomintang united with Bolan, and it seems that it was still colluding with Germany, and it may want to use the Sino-German Triple Alliance to flank Germany from the east and west, and now it is still limited by the "Versailles Treaty", and there is no way to revive its military strength, and it seems that it is impossible to complete the task of attacking the European part of the Soviet Union from the west by relying on Bolan's forces alone.

However, Germany is a country with a strong military tradition, and a British and American imperialist body should be able to arm itself quickly. It can be deduced from the effect of their help in helping the Kuomintang armed army in recent years......"

After listening to Zhou Elai's analysis and looking at the two copies of the newspaper in his hand, "Mao" ZD was also a little suspicious of the so-called plan to destroy the Soviet Union. Judging by the current international situation, it is entirely possible for the imperialists to launch a joint attack on the Soviet Union. As the largest neighbor of the Soviet Union and the emerging imperialist powers, it was only natural that China should participate in the war for the destruction of the Soviet Union. And judging from Germany's record in the last world war in which it defeated Tsarist Russia with only a small part of its own strength, if China and Germany can really work together to fight together, it seems possible to destroy the Soviet Union, which is now being cornered by internal and external troubles!

But the question is, once China participates in the war to destroy and partition the Soviet Union, how should China and G take sides? Was it to help the Soviet Union resist the millions of troops of the three countries in China? With more 200,000 troops in China, will the Soviet Union be able to win the war? If the Soviet Union still loses the war, will China and G face the joint encirclement and suppression of the entire imperialist world after that?! But if we don't help the Soviet Union, imperialism will be polite to China after the Soviet Union is settled! Even...... If you can't wait to settle down, the Soviet Union will come to the outside world, and you must first settle the inside and settle the Chinese G.

"Mao" ZD exhaled softly, his eyebrows and "hair" tightly twisted together, and now he felt the seriousness of the situation. The international communist movement is about to face an unprecedented crisis, and it is precisely Chinese imperialism that is causing this crisis! It is the homeland of the GCD people of China!

"E, if the Kuomintang loses this war against the Soviet Union, do you say, will the post-war China be like the Tsarist Russia at that time?" "Mao" Jin suddenly asked. Didn't Tsarist Russia fall apart after a setback in the world war? Will Chinese imperialism follow in the footsteps of Tsarist Russia?

This sentence was like a thunderbolt in Zhou Elai's mind, he suddenly felt that his eyes lit up, and his spirit relaxed slightly, and he nodded slightly: "If the Kuomintang fails...... Of course, it is impossible to maintain the rule anymore, and our party can certainly take its place. Maybe this is an opportunity, right? Speaking of this, he shook his head again: "But what if the Kuomintang wins?" If they really destroyed the Soviet Union, what should we do? ”

"It is still necessary to join forces with Wu to fight against Cao, if this Wu can win, take advantage of the situation to take Jingzhou, in case Cao wins, take advantage of the situation to take Jiangdong!" Mao's answer seems to be incorrect. But Zhou Elai's face changed greatly when he heard this, and he said slowly after a while: "But where can that Cao '' allow us to take Jiangdong?" ”

"Mao" ZD was silent for a long time, and finally lowered his voice and said: "E, you said that if we also become "Cao Jun," what about it?" Hasn't the Kuomintang been advocating some kind of "democratic" constitutionalism and peaceful reunification? I see that there is a chance in this...

The Kuomintang's "democratic" constitutionalism is not a one-step exercise, and there is also a 16-year "training period." If we agree to peaceful reunification, then naturally there should also be such a "training period," and we should train ourselves on our own territory, and we should not let them train us. Our army, like the Young People's Army, is also retained, controlled by ourselves, and cannot be handed over until the end of the training period! In this way, will our party win a buffer period of 16 years, and will still be in a favorable position to advance and retreat in a future world war? ”

"Then should we report this to the Soviet Union?" Zhou Elai asked.

"To report...... But not now. "Mao" 2D smiled bitterly: "If we tell Stalin now, can we still become" Cao Jun, ?" Stalin had only the interests of the Soviet Union in his heart! ”

Speaking of this, he turned his head to look at Zhou Elai and said solemnly: "We GCD people in China cannot learn from Stalin, we sincerely want to help the Soviet people save the flame of revolution, and we also sincerely want to help them realize GCISM as soon as possible." In case of...... The Soviet Union perished in the next world war, so it will be up to us GCD to take over the banner of the world's revolution! When the time comes, Comrade E will definitely inherit the legacy of Comrades Lenin and Stalin! ”

Zhou Elai glanced at the serious and nonsense "Mao" Bei, shook his head slightly, and sighed: "Let's not talk about inheriting Stalin's legacy...... The top priority now is who to send to negotiate peaceful reunification with the Kuomintang. Oh, right, shouldn't have reported this to the USSR, right? ”

"No need to report." "Mao" Zd thought for a moment and smiled: "GC International sent us relevant instructions when it was in the "Suppression War", and now is the right time to take it out and use it." As for the negotiators,........., I think I'm going to trouble you to go to Beiping in person." ”

A dilapidated freighter flying the flag of the Rising Sun arrived at the wharf of the port of Vladivostok, which was already a bleak winter seascape. The wharf was bustling with coolies from China or North Korea who had crossed the border to work, busy unloading cargo from the freighter. Horse-drawn carriages and rickshaws carrying passengers are crowded at the entrance to the pier.

Chinese, Russian, Korean, and Japanese greeted and shouted. It looks like an international port city mixed with immigrants from China, Russia, Japan and North Korea!

Looking at this bustling scene, who would have imagined that, just a few months ago, this was a predominantly white Russian frontier fortress city on the Soviet Union? As the 200,000 Trotskyist Red Army from China became the masters here, a large number of officers' families, businessmen, and laborers were soon pulled by the trains of the China Eastern Railway.

It was not long before Trotsky's personal nod was met with the approval of almost the same number of Koreans and the Japanese themselves on these dilapidated bulk carriers and shipwowed to the first fortress in the Far East. They were joined by former Japanese army officers, numbering in the thousands, whom Trotsky called the "Japanese People's Volunteers". Most of them had participated in the just-concluded Manchurian War and had rich combat experience, and now these officers have taken the "settling-in allowance" and "salary" issued by the Japanese Army Ministry to help the Soviet people fight the civil war! And all the units of the Trotskyist Red Army, including Wang Zhongyi's Far Eastern Front, have now been assigned a large number of Japanese friends to serve as military advisers! Who made that Luo Yaoguo refuse to send a large number of officers of the Kuomintang army to the Far East?

A black sè car with a Vladivostok Internal Affairs license plate was parked in a remote corner of the pier. There were several middle-aged people with oriental faces standing around the car, although they were all dressed in Chinese-style civilian clothes, but looking at the long-trained standing posture, they knew that they were soldiers, and judging from their age, they should be Japanese officers! Few of the current Union officers are middle-aged.

All of them had very serious and nervous faces, and their eyes nervously watched the flow of people hurrying by. Some people still have bulging pockets around their waists, and at a glance, they know that they are carrying pistols or something. If Duo Yaoguo was here now, he would definitely be surprised to find that Ishihara Waner, the first strategist of the Japanese army, was actually among them!

Two officers who arrived at the front of the cargo ship to pick up the people, one left and one right, escorted a man with a thin figure and a big top hat that deeply covered his head and face, and quickly walked to the front of the car. An officer opened the door, and the mysterious visitor and Ishihara stepped into the back seat.

The driver, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately started the car and drove out as soon as he smoked. At this time, Ishihara smiled happily at the mysterious guest: "Your Excellency Nagata, I can wait for you!" We, "Volunteers, are waiting for your arrival up and down, it's not a day!" ”

Mysterio took off his top hat and smiled and looked left and right. Underneath the top hat was the face of a middle-aged man who was thin and slightly yinsen. He is indeed the new head of the Second Department of the General Staff of the Imperial Army, and the rank of Lieutenant General has been promoted to Nagata Tetsuyama! On this occasion he secretly left Tokyo on the orders of Kazunari Ugaki and rushed to Vladivostok to meet Trotsky in secret, and at the same time to investigate the situation of the civil war in the Soviet Far East.

"How did this Vladivostok look like Kanto now?" As soon as Nagata's words came out, Ishihara's eyes next to him were dark, and his face was full of grief and indignation: "Your Excellency Nagata! This will never be the second Kanto state, we will definitely be able to ......"

Nagata Tieshan hurriedly waved his hand, interrupting Ishihara and said, "That's not what I meant, I'm right, let's talk about the battle situation." Will those people be able to hold Boli now and keep the Soviet Red Army north of the Amur River? ”

Ishihara sneered: "Can't hold it, as soon as the Amur River freezes, they will retreat back to Vladivostok and be trapped." In the past two months, they have been rushing to repair the fortifications of the city, and by the way, the Kuomintang in China also secretly sent eight 240-mm cannon heavy guns to Vladivostok. I really don't know what those people think, they spent a long time just to go to Vladivostok to defend the city? ”

"The Russian bear is so big that we need to find a way to exhaust it before killing it. Those people are doing this right now, and they are going to exhaust Russia. Nagata Tieshan smiled slightly and said, "This is also your mission now. ”

"The !! of the destruction of the Soviet Union" Nagata Tetsuyama's words made Ishihara Wan'er frown slightly: "How do you do it?" The Soviet Union was so huge, and its core was almost 10,000 kilometers to the west, how could the Chinese people fight so far away? ”

"They may not have to hit Moscow and Leningrad to destroy the country."

Seeing Ishihara's question, Nagata smiled and patiently explained, "If someone attacks together from the west, taking Moscow and Leningrad, and China launches an attack from the east to sweep Central Asia and Siberia...... An exhausted USSR could not resist. ”

"It will be ...... who attack from the west"

"Germany still has Boran!" Nagata lifted his glasses, looked at the bustling crowd on both sides of the street, and a cold smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Ishihara-kun, how do you say the empire should stand in this war?" ”

"Is it okay to stand in line?" Ishihara asked rhetorically.

Nagata Tieshan nodded, and said with a wry smile: "It's just to stand in line, does Ishihara-kun think that the empire's army is still qualified to participate in the continental hegemony?" ”

Ishihara gritted his teeth, shook his head slowly, and spit out a few words: "No... The army has no chance, the mainland is a Chinese people! The empire can only share the leftovers. ”

"Even this little bit of leftovers has to be fought for by ourselves! The empire's goal was more than 200,000 square kilometers south of the Amur River and east of the Ussuri River, plus the island of Sakhalin in the north.

This is the fattest essence of the Soviet Far East, that is, it is comparable to Manchuria! Nagata Tieshan sighed and said, "But the people of China don't plan to give us this land for nothing!"

They provoked this war in the Far East, and they wanted us to participate in it. If we don't take advantage of these years to put down roots in the Far East, they won't give us anything. That was the purpose of my visit to Vladivostok to Trotsky, and now he is the only one who can help us gain a foothold in the Far East. ”

"What do you mean?"

Nagata Tetsuyama smiled heavily and did not answer Ishihara's question. To be honest, he doesn't have a bottom in his heart right now. There are now four rivalries in the Far East, Stalin, Wang Zhongyi, Japan, and Trotsky, and Japan is precisely the most disadvantaged of them. It seems that the only way to do this is to slowly reach in through cooperation with Trotsky!
