898 Anti-Encirclement and Suppression and the Long March V Stalin's Million Red Army!

It was the driest time of the year in Persia, and the vast Cavill Desert was dotted with large and small gray-white saline formations, and underneath these formations were impassable salt marsh depressions. On the edge of this endless saline-alkali wasteland, a yellow-green marching procession with red flags stretched out for more than a dozen kilometers is rolling forward. Nearly 200,000 infantry, cavalry, baggage soldiers, 17-pounder guns dragged by mules and horses, as well as family members of the entourage who also wore yellow-green Red Army uniforms, carried the little belongings on their backs, led the children who had not yet grown up, all the way east, slowly moving forward.

In the middle of this army ranks, there were only a few cars, and in the back seat of one of them, a four-wheeled light armored vehicle of American production, sat the owner of this seemingly large army, the dictator of the former Soviet Union, the great leader of the GCIST world, Joseph Murphy. Comrade Stalin. Although he has now become a fugitive dog, there is no frustration or worry in his countenance. What is revealed in the eyebrows is still the temperament of a great leader who stands on top of the clouds and looks down on all beings. However, Marshal Voroshilov, the chairman of the Revolutionary Military Council of the USSR who was sitting next to him, looked completely broken, his body was slumped on the backrest, there was no trace of gleam in his half-squinted eyes, and he did not look at the marching procession outside the window, but just stared at his feet, not knowing what he was thinking.

At this moment a hurried sound of horses' hooves came from behind, and Voroshilov turned his head as if he had suddenly been awakened from a nightmare. His eyes widened as he stared at the rapidly approaching horse and the man on horseback. There was a deep fear in his eyes...... I don't know how many times in the past few days such a hurried sound of horses' hooves has been heard, and each time it will bring the latest bad news to this desperate army!

First of all, Bandar Abbas was captured by Chinese imperialism! And then hundreds of thousands of Chinese-Russian coalition troops began to catch up with all their might!

Then the Persian Red Army stationed in Isfahan mutinied and swore allegiance to the prostitute emperor in Tehran! As a result, 200,000 Soviet Red Army troops and more than 100,000 dependents had to abandon the main road and enter the inaccessible Kavir Salt Desert so that they could bypass Isfahan as far away.

I wonder what kind of shocking bad news is this time?

"Bukharin? How is he? Could it be that something happened to GC International? When the horse approached, Voroshilov suddenly realized that the man on horseback was actually Bukharin, the chairman of the GC International Executive Committee. Bukharin re-became the leading big brother of GC International after Dimitrov's "mutiny". However, at this time, the GC International in exile had long lost its authority to command and lead the world revolution, and was nothing more than a group of bureaucrats who were in exile with the army.

Presumably in order to boost the sluggish morale of the Red Army, Bukharin, who was on horseback, began to shout loudly from afar. "Comrade Stalin! Good news! There is good news! It was sent by the GC International Eastern Bureau......"

Stalin's armored car stopped, and Bukharin galloped to the side of the car and jumped off the horse. Stood outside the rolled down window. Stalin looked up at Bukharin, whose face was flushed, and asked lightly: "Nikolai (Bukharin), what happened?" What deceptive tricks did those Chinese come up with? ”

Bukharin laughed a little awkwardly, took out a telegram from his pocket and handed it to Stalin, who had a straight face. "Comrade Stalin, this is a telegram from Comrade Dimitrov, saying that the Chinese side has partially agreed to the plan he has put forward, uniting the forces of the Soviet Union and China to jointly seize India as a base for the world revolution." At this point he paused and quietly glanced at Stalin's face. After noticing nothing unusual, he continued: "Comrade Stalin, as you said. Those pseudo-GC ists must be trying to use our strength to fight against Gandhi's puppet army. But this is also an opportunity for us, after all, we are not familiar with India when we go to India, and China G has a good foundation there...... Not only was the Indian GCD firmly under their control, but they also opened up a revolutionary base in eastern India. If we can unite......"

"Comrade Voroshilov, how far are we from the base of the Indian GCD?" Stalin interrupted Bukharin's words and turned to the chairman of the Revolutionary Military Council of the USSR beside him.

"Oh." Voroshilov replied busily, frowning again, thinking hard, not knowing whether he was calculating the distance or trying to recall what Stalin's problem was. After a while, he replied: "We are now in the salt desert northeast of Isfahan, about 6,000 kilometers away from the eastern Indian state of Odisha...... It is also more than 1,000 kilometers from the Persian and Indian borders. At our current pace of marching. It takes a month to get to India, and a few months to meet with the Chinese G. ”

"Huishi?" Stalin snorted coldly, gritted his teeth and said: "We have walked 6,000 kilometers, and we have to break through the encirclement and interception of Chinese and Russian imperialism and the Indian puppet army, how many people are left?" When the time comes, we will end up even worse than falling into the hands of that prostitute! ”

Bukharin sighed in his heart. But then I lifted my spirits. "But aren't we going to India now? When you get there, you always have to cooperate with the Eastern Bureau, China G and Indian GCD...... The world revolution has reached the point where it is now, and China G will not think that we will kill each other, right? ”

There is also some truth in his words, the current Soviet Red Army can be said to be at the end of the road, what other way out can there be except to go to India? When you go to India, you always have to get along with China and G. Listened to this. Stalin sighed and said lightly: "India has to go, and it is not impossible to cooperate with China and G, but ...... You don't have to be a teacher. We would establish a base in the northwest of India, preferably with Karachi as the center, and occupy the lower reaches of the Indus River. In this way, we are in the east with the middle g. One to the west, echoing each other is the best means of seizing the whole of India. ”

Speaking of which. Stalin paused slightly, and then said to Bukharin: "You go and call back the Eastern Bureau and the Central G." Tell them that we, the million-strong Soviet Red Army, are preparing to open up a revolutionary base in northwestern India in the near future. Nominally, it was also intended to use the banner of the Socialist Union of India to ask them to send some Indian comrades to Karachi to establish an organization and to be ready to cooperate with our actions. In addition, China and G were also invited to launch some diversionary attacks in eastern India.

Also, tell the CG that we can agree to convene the Eighth World Congress of the GC International in Beiping, China, around August 1939. ”

"What!?" Bukharin and Voroshilov exclaimed at the same time. Although Beiping is not the territory of China G, it is Chinese territory after all, and the convening of the Eighth GC International Congress there means that the entire conference will be dominated by China G!

Bukharin and Voroshilov wanted to open their mouths to persuade, but they didn't know what to say, but Stalin waved his hand and sneered twice: "The key now is not GC International, but to preserve the forces of the revolution, especially military ones!" If China G wants the brand of GC International, it will be good for them, as long as they can provide convenience for us to open up a base in India! ”

……

And this time in New Delhi. Gandhinehru, the Indian reactionaries who had been struggling to maintain the situation of the Republic of India, and who had been struggling to maintain the situation of the Republic of India, would not become a foreign colony again. The atmosphere from top to bottom was also tense. This time. With the influx of refugees from Odisha, Karkhand, and Chhattisgarh into New Delhi, rumours of a GCIST regime in eastern India have spread. What eliminated Brahmins and Desharyas, what Shudras and Desharas turned over and became masters, and what divided all land equally, divided all property equally, confiscated all foreign capital, abolished all unequal treaties, and so on...... Let the brahmins and disharyans in the city of New Delhi all panic all day long, for fear that they don't know when this group of unreasonable "red bandits" will enter New Delhi and cut off the lives of the big guys!

Furthermore. There is already the influence of Indian GCD in New Delhi, especially behind the various workers' groups in India, there is more or less the shadow of Indian GCD. What exterminates the Brahmin capitalists and divides all the property equally may not be very attractive to the unseen Hindu farmers in the countryside of the Orissa Gang, but to the proletariat in New Delhi or Bombay, especially the proletariat who are Muslim or Sikh. But it's very inflammatory! Seeing the proletariat in Odisha and other places turn over, there is no desire to look forward to it, and the workers' movements in the big cities of India, such as New Delhi and Mumbai, have become frequent and violent. What made the Gandhi authorities even more troublesome was that a group of Indian intellectuals and students who could not figure out the direction also followed suit, shouting slogans of "anti-civil war, anti-hunger" and marching in the streets every now and then to protest against the dictatorship of the Congress Party!

And at this time, an even more chilling news came from the Persian side. The boss of the GC International, the "Million Red Army" of the Soviet GCD. He is marching east from Persia and preparing to come to India to join forces with the Chinese and Indian GCDs. Destroy all the Brahmins, Dessaryas, bourgeoisie and landlord classes in India......

Now Gandhi, Nehru, and Bose, the representatives of the Indian bourgeoisie, are really panicking. China G and India G are only 2 or 300,000 troops. It has already made it difficult for the Indian government army to clean up. If Stalin's million-strong army were to enter India again, the history of the Indian republic would really come to an end!

"Gentlemen, what shall we do? What to do in the Republic of India? ”

The atmosphere in the conference room was somewhat solemn, and Mahatma Gandhi sat on the chair at the top of the middle of the conference table, looking blankly at his civil and military "ministers", muttering these words over and over again. It's a pity that there is no one to answer him. The Indian independence movement followed a non-violent line, and the enemy it faced was also British imperialism, which began to talk about civilization and reason after becoming rich, and the previous struggle was only a few days of meditation and hunger strike. Where have you ever seen Zhong G and Su G eliminate this and eliminate that like this, and play bloody opponents as soon as they come up? Just when none of them spoke, and they were all at a loss, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door.

"It's General Slim here." Gandhi looked up at the door of the conference room, where he was the chief of staff for foreign aid of the Indian government army, Lieutenant General Slim of Britain. Gandhi seemed to see a savior. With a heartfelt smile on his face, he stood up and personally stepped forward to welcome Lieutenant General Slim in.

"Your Excellency, my General, do you know the news from the Persian side?" Gandhi's face became solemn again. "Stalin's 1 million Red Army is heading towards India! That is the elite who have been fighting hard with the Chinese and German ** teams for several years, and our Indian army is not their opponent at all. ”

"Mr. President, it's not that serious." Lieutenant General Slim gave a respectful military salute to Gandhi, then strode over to the military map hanging on the wall of the conference room, picked up his whip and pointed it at southeast Persia: "According to intelligence, Stalin's Red Army has just bypassed Isfahan and is now on its way east. However, judging from the fact that they did not even dare to attack Isfahan, which was garrisoned by only a few tens of thousands of local Persian troops. The so-called million is just a claim. As he spoke, he took a telegram from a British staff officer beside him and handed it to Gandhi himself.

This telegram was sent to Slim by the British Imperial General Staff, and the content of the telegram was to inform the British Imperial General Staff of the analysis of Stalin's military strength, and since there had been an alliance between Britain and the "Soviet Union" before, it had a better understanding of the strength of the Soviet army. According to the information available to the British, the Soviet Red Army had a total strength of less than 300,000 troops when it withdrew from the Transcaucasus, and after the "conquest" of Iran, the so-called "Persian GCD" and "Persian Red Army" were raised. The total strength of the Persian Red Army was claimed to be 800,000, but the British had the information to know it. In fact, there are less than 500,000 people, the weapons and equipment are very inferior, the level of training is not high, and there is not much combat effectiveness at all. Moreover, the loyalty of this army to the Soviet GCD and Stalin himself was extremely low, and at most tens of thousands of them would follow the Soviet Red Army out of Persia. In other words, the total number of military forces at Stalin's current disposal is estimated to be no more than 350,000, and the so-called one million is nothing more than nonsense used to scare people.

After reading the telegram, Gandhi's expression was a little lighter, he looked up at Slim again and asked, "Okay, 350,000 people." It's less than a million people, but can we deal with them? ”

"Yes, Mr. President, we have 900,000 central troops, as well as a million local troops, and we have an overwhelming numerical advantage." Slim paused abruptly as he said this, a hint of hesitation flashing across his face. "Of course, the premise is that the Soviet Red Army and the so-called GC International South Asian Army controlled by the Central G will not attack us at the same time!"

"Will they attack us at the same time?" Gandhi's face turned blue all of a sudden, and he sighed and replied to himself, "I think that's certain, they will definitely join forces!" As he spoke, he looked up at Slim again, as if waiting for a negative answer.

Slim glanced back at his lieutenant, who immediately pulled out a telegram from his briefcase and handed it over. Slim took the telegram and looked at it, then sighed again. The telegram was handed to Gandhi. "Mr. President, this is a ciphered telegram from GC International intercepted and deciphered by our Army's Sixth Directorate of Military Intelligence. Stalin and the Chinese g agreed in the message. Concerted action will be taken in India! After Stalin's 350,000 Red Army arrives in northwestern India, it will launch an offensive to the east, aiming directly at New Delhi, while the 300,000 troops of the Central and Indian Armies will also launch a westward expedition to the east and west at the same time, eliminate the legitimate government of India, and seize Indian territory as their so-called base for world revolution! ”

"Mr. Chief of the General Staff, can we preemptively launch an attack on the base areas entrenched by the Chinese G and the Indian G! What about crushing them first, and then turning back against Stalin? As soon as Slim's words were finished, Indian Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru immediately expressed his opinion, he also knew that the Indian government army was a group of goods that could not be eaten, and at the same time, the 650,000 troops on the other side's east and west roads must be no play, so eating one of the enemy troops first was naturally the only choice, and among these two enemies, he instinctively felt that the "coalition army" of China G and India G was the biggest threat! After all, Stalin was a lost dog, and Chinese imperialism, which held hegemony in Asia, would certainly not tolerate his control of India. The situation of China and G is much more complicated, they have always been partners with the Kuomintang that holds power in China, even in the war to destroy the Soviet Union, neither of them has torn their faces, and this time it was the fleet of the Chinese Defense Forces that sent the troops of China and G to India!

"We can only deal with Stalin first!" Slim sighed and said with a wry smile: "The Queen of Persia, that is, the Russian empress who has a close relationship with the Chinese Marshal Luo Yaoguo, has proposed to the Indian government to jointly encircle and suppress Stalin!" Moreover, the Chinese Nationalist Government also put forward a proposal to mediate the civil war between the 'national and national parties' in India. ”

"That's a delaying tactic." Nehru looked at Slim suspiciously, angry and amused in his heart, this English gentleman is a gentleman all over the world. Slim shook his head and sighed, "I know they're buying time to expand their army and digest their territory. But we have no choice! Our 600,000-strong encirclement and suppression army, if we adopt a step-by-step approach, we will be able to squeeze the so-called GC International South Asian Army into the Indian Ocean in 6 months to 1 year! But we don't have that time now, Stalin will be able to enter Pakistan in one month at most, and then we will have to be attacked on our backs. And to crush Stalin's 350,000 Red Army, we need to use at least 700,000 troops! (To be continued.)
