XL Trip to Soviet Russia VI

The beautiful banks of the Moscow River are home to many luxurious and extravagant estates, which were once used by the imperial dignitaries to spend their weekends and enjoy various kinds of entertainment. After the victory of the revolution, it was returned to the hands of the Soviet people, some of whom were used to entertain friends from all over the world.

A beautiful villa was filled with the most advanced eavesdropping and candid camera equipment in the world at the time, and it was also equipped with a proper Cheka warrior who always had a charming smile on his face and could "take care" of his guests. A large butterfly from later generations believed that the copy of the "Northwest Military Plan" that he had carefully hidden in a luxurious bedroom cabinet should have been translated into Russian and delivered to the desk of a certain big man.

"Comrade Skryansky, have you studied this plan?" Comrade Kamenev, one of the Soviet troika, who was said to be in full swing, actually squeezed out time from his busy schedule to care about the Chinese revolution, and Luo Yaoguo should have felt tears in his eyes on this alone. Before Skryansky could reply, Kamenev cocked his funny beard again and squeezed out a smile. "Has Comrade Lev Davydovich (Trotsky) seen it?"

"Comrade Lev Borisovich (Kamenev), the Revolutionary Military Council has carefully studied this plan and envisaged various possible surnames, and Lev Davidovich believes that this plan, although not perfect in the details, is quite feasible, and it is the best plan to help the development and growth of the Chinese GCD." Skryansky, vice chairman of the Revolutionary Military Council, was quite in high esteem of Luo Yaoguo's plan.

Kamenev picked up the "North-Western Military Plan" on the table, flipped through it, pointed to one of them and asked: "What does Comrade Lev Davydovich think about this one?" This plan proposes to keep a low profile in northern Shaanxi Province for the time being, and also accept the appointment of Yanjing Political Axe, which seems to be an act of surrender! ”

Listening to Kamenev's idiotic question, Skryansky had an urge to go up and pull his beard, such an idiocy turned out to be the Soviet troika! "Comrade Lev Borisovich, this proposal is precisely the best part of this plan, that the Chinese revolutionary forces can first lurk in the northern part of Shaanxi Province, which is a barren land neglected by the northern warlords, and that the revolutionary forces can wait for a new civil war between the Chinese [***] warlords to break out, and then they can suddenly attack and take Suiyuan Province and open up the connection with the Soviet Union, and the Chinese GCD people will be in charge of this plan." Skryansky highlighted the GCD people in China, which is of great significance.

"Oh, is there one?" Kamenev put on his glasses and looked at them carefully, before he suddenly realized: "It turns out that this plan is led by the GCD people, and those Chinese bourgeoisie are not afraid that the GCD will carry out revolution after occupying Yanjing?" ”

"This is exactly what Comrade Lev Davydovich wondered, and the Chinese generals who worked on this plan do not seem to have much interest in Yanjing." Skryansky shook his head slightly, puzzled.

Kamenev pondered for a moment and then asked: "Did Comrade Lev Davidovich finally decide to support this plan?" ”

Skryansky nodded and replied: "Comrade Lev Davydovich thinks that this plan is too attractive, even if it contains any conspiracy, we must put it into practice, if we miss even such a God-given opportunity, then how can the revolution in the Chinese GCD be carried out?" ”

"Well, I'm for that too." Kamenev's only experience in military affairs was to go to the front as a commissioner of the Labor and Defense Committee to supervise the war, so he had to listen to Trotsky on military matters, lest he make a mistake and give Trotsky a grip.

"Comrade Lev Borisovich, there is also the question that, according to the analysis of this plan, the next large-scale civil war in China will begin before the end of 1924." Speaking of which, Slyoksky's glasses were filled with worry.

Kamenev was dazed: "Oh, what's the problem? ”

"Of course there is a problem." Slyeksky picked up the calendar on his desk and pushed it in front of Kamenev. "It is now June 11, 1923, just over a year before the impending war, and the time left for the Chinese comrades is very short, if this opportunity is missed, the rule of the Chinese bourgeoisie may be consolidated, Sun Yat-sen may control the south, and Zhang Zuolin, with the support of Zhang Ben, will control the north."

"Then the project should start immediately." Kamenev took out the style of giving orders to the Labor and Defense Committee, waved his hand and ordered the North-Western Military Plan to begin immediately.

"This idiot!" Skryansky cursed in his heart. However, on the surface, he still showed a face of deference and obedience, and he said: "Dear Comrade Lev Borisovich, in order to realize this plan, we must enlist the support of the Kuomintang, and this support cannot be without a price. ”

Kamenev shook his head with his hands spread out and asked, "Isn't this what the Kuomintang in China proposed?" Will they still object? ”

"Well, this, this Comrade Lev Borisovich, this plan was stolen by our comrades from that Kuomintang General Luo." Skryansky made a purse-stealing gesture, which made Kamenev laugh.

"Hehe, if you don't remind me, you forgot that this plan is one of the many "Northwest Military Plans", and they won't come out all at once. Well, then, we can support the Kuomintang's request for aid by providing a loan of up to 5 million gold rubles at a minimum interest rate of 3% per annum, but the money will be used to buy Soviet machinery and equipment and hire experts from the Soviet Union or the Comintern. There is also a grant of 1 million gold rubles for the "Northwest Army is Plan", but this money must be managed by the Chinese GCD, and it must be used entirely for the "Northwest Military Plan". Kamenev is now presiding over the Politburo meeting, and Kamenev thinks the money will be easy to raise.

At the same time that the Russians were studying Luo Yaoguo's "Northwest Military Plan", Chiang Kai-shek and Luo Yaoguo also began busy diplomatic activities, and the first person to meet with Chiang Kai-shek was the head of the Eastern Department of the People's Commissar for Foreign Affairs of the Soviet Union. However, Chiang Kai-shek seemed to be quite satisfied with the meeting, and he was in a good mood on the way back to the villa, and he also talked and laughed with Luo Yaoguo. At 2:30 p.m. on June 12, the People's Commissar for Foreign Affairs of the Soviet Union, Checherin, met with Chiang Kai-shek again.

Luo Yaoguo and Lu Ming visited an arsenal in Moscow that day, and saw the dilapidated factories, the working class pretending to be enthusiastic, and the engineers and managers who were obviously worried. Luo Yaoguo and Lu Ming were very cooperative to be a good audience, and delivered an enthusiastic speech, Luo Yaoguo said numbly: "The great October Revolution brought about a leap forward in the development of Soviet industry, the Soviet working class is the happiest working class in the world after becoming the master of the country, and it is also the most industrious and responsible working class in the world, and the products of the Soviet Union are the best quality in the world and the most popular and sought-after goods among the working people all over the world. ”

Lu Ming's speech was even more profound, he spoke fluent Shanghainese dialect: "Ala Shanghai now only has Oriental and Western goods, and very few Soviet goods can be seen, this is really a pity, the Soviet Union has many high-quality and low-cost industrial products, in China there are thousands of working people in China want to buy them, but there is no place to buy, on behalf of the Chinese working people, I hereby invite the Soviet trading company to Guangzhou to set up an office, to increase the sales and promotion of Soviet products." ”

After listening to Lu Ming's speech, the Soviet entourage and Luo Yaoguo who were present nodded frequently, and the general manager of the Soviet Oriental Trading Company who accompanied the visit made a decision to open a branch in Guangzhou. Lesinskaya too.

The next day, on June 13, the representative of the Soviet Union was promoted to a higher level. Estovich. Ruzutak, secretary of the Central Committee, and now the general secretary of a party are not the same thing, probably equivalent to a position like secretary general.

"We are delegates of the Kuomintang who have been sent to Moscow, and the main purpose of this is to get acquainted with the Russian [***] represented by its Central Committee, to hear some suggestions on our work in China, and to inform each other of the situation." Chiang Kai-shek first informed Ruzutak of the delegation's intentions, and very modestly stated that he had come to listen to the Soviet Union's proposal.

"I am entrusted by the Central Committee of the Russian Communist Party to welcome the delegation. In its spirit, the Kuomintang is very close to the Russian Communist Party. In addition, there were other important circumstances that brought the working masses of China closer to those of the Soviet Union. Both in China and in Russia, the peoples of both countries are mainly engaged in agricultural production; The territory of the Soviet Union was several thousand versts bordering the border with China, so it was natural for the Soviet people to come into contact with the working people of China. Regrettably, there was no contact between the working people of China and the Soviet Union, which hindered the strengthening of this natural tie. The arrival of the mission was a first step in that direction. Ruzutak's answer was more CCTV-style, and as usual, there was no nutrition at all.

"The Kuomintang has always considered the Soviet Union [***] to be its sister party. Today, the delegation would like to hear a brief introduction to some of the most important stages of the Russian Revolution, to the mistakes made during the revolutionary period, and to the role and significance of [***] in the revolutionary process, since the lessons of the Russian Revolution may be very instructive for the work of the Kuomintang in China. Chiang Kai-shek's answer seemed to be a monk surnamed Tang, who came to the Soviet Union to learn from experience.

Since he came to learn the scriptures, he naturally had to listen to others chanting the scriptures, Luo Yaoguo had to listen to Ruzutak reciting the scriptures for two hours with a strong spirit, the content of which was nothing more than why the Soviet Revolution succeeded, how the so-called national policy of the Soviet Union succeeded, and why the Soviet Union implemented the New Economic Policy, etc., Luo Yaoguo naturally had no interest at all. Because Luo Yaoguo knew that the Soviet Union's ethnic policy was a typical example of failure, a negative textbook, and the NEP would most likely be reformed if it continued.
