Nanjing Zhongshan, Jiang J Shi Mansion.

Although Jiang Jshi has resigned from his post as vice chairman of the Military Commission in name only, he is still very well informed. As soon as the news of the Battle of Heishui River arrived in Nanjing, he learned about it as soon as possible.

"These gangs of gangsters are beyond their means, and it seems that they can't run away from a situation where the whole army is annihilated. Brother J Shi, do you think we can do anything else from this? ”

It was Xu Chongzhi who spoke, and after the Kuomintang split and reorganized, he was listed as one of the five giants of the Kuomintang along with Hu Hanmin, Jiang Jishi, Xie Zhi, and Sun Ke. Today, the five giants of the Kuomintang gathered in Lao Chiang's house to discuss the deployment of next year's general election.

Jiang Jshi sighed: "Of course, there are many articles that can be done, but you are the eldest brother, what I see from this battle of the Heishui River is the lesson of the failure of the People's Revolutionary Party!" ”

Hu Hanmin interjected: "What lesson? ”

"Unity of GCD! Although there are factional struggles within the GCD, they are consistent on external issues, and our Kuomintang is far inferior to the GCD. ”

When Lao Jiang said this, Sun Yat-sen's eldest prince Sun Ke also sighed: "Brother J Shi, you are right, the biggest problem of our Kuomintang is disunity, and now even Mr. Song (referring to Song Qingling) has actually betrayed the party and joined the Communist Party...... Brother J Shi, look at this election, do we still have hope? ”

Jiang Jishi thought about it carefully, and finally nodded emphatically and said, "Yes!" Mr. Zhesheng, I think we can still make a difference in this election. However, it is not to come to power, but to lay out for the future democratic government. ”

"The democracy of the future? Brother J Shi. What do you mean...... Is this election undemocratic? Xu Chongzhi was puzzled.

Jiang Jishi glanced at Xu Chongzhi and asked rhetorically, "Do you really think that Chang Yaoru will hand over the power if he can't be elected?" ”

Several members of the Standing Committee of the Kuomintang in the room looked at each other and said in unison: "No." No...... If he is not sure of being elected, he will definitely not give up the dictatorship! ”

"When did he give up his dictatorship?" Jiang J Shi sneered: "He is just Tong Guò This election has put on a cloak of democracy for his dictatorship!" Chang Yaoru is both a bitch and a memorial arch! If GCD really loses to our Kuomintang in this election, I am 200% sure that he will raise his butcher's knife to kill us! ”

"So what else shall we choose?" Xie Zhi, head of the Kuomintang Organization Department, stood up suddenly, with an angry face: "If this is the case, it is better to rebel with the People's Revolutionary Party!" ”

"Brother Huisheng, then we will be surrounded in the Heishui River together!" Jiang Jshi sneered: "Chang Yaoru is a smart person, he is sure that he can control the power through democratic elections. It's still happy to play election with us, and it will also disguise itself as China's Washington. It's just that...... Washington has only served two terms as president of the United States, and he Chang Yaoru probably wants to be the president of China for ten terms, right? ”

Listen to Jiang J Shi say this. The faces of several Kuomintang bigwigs were even more ugly. Chang Ruiqing is only 31 years old this year, and he was only 33 years old in 1926, and if the term of office of the Chinese president is four years, he will only be 73 years old if he is a 10-term president in Chang Ruiqing's situation. So. What hope is there on the side of the Kuomintang?

Xu Chongzhi shouted: "No. We must find a way to promote legislation to stipulate the maximum re-term period of the president, and we can't let Chang Yaoru be the president for life! ”

Jiang Jishi shook his head slightly, "This method is not good, not to mention whether the parliament can pass guò, even if such legislation is passed now, it will really be ten or eight years later, it will be a piece of cake for Chang Yaoru to amend the law to allow himself to be re-elected indefinitely." Saying that, he looked back at Hu Hanmin: "Zhangong, did you say it?" ”

Hu Hanmin nodded silently. Jiang Jshi smiled slightly, and then continued: "According to my thoughts." It is better to engage in a responsible cabinet. ”

"Responsible Cabinet?" Hu Hanmin was stunned for a moment, and asked: "What does Brother J mean to follow Song Dunchu and use the responsible cabinet to restrict the rights of Chang Yaoru, the president?" ”

Jiang Jishi smiled, waved his hand and said, "No, that's not what it meant." Chang Yaoru is not Yuan Shikai, they are both the largest party in the parliament, and Chang Yaoru can be the prime minister himself. Moreover, there is no maximum term limit for the prime ministers or prime ministers of the responsible cabinets of all countries in the world, and Chang Yaoru has no problem as long as he wants to die. ”

Hu Hanmin shook his head, as if he didn't quite understand: "Brother J Shi, what good is such a responsible cabinet for us?" ”

Jiang J Shi smiled at Hu Hanmin and said: "Zhan Gong, of course we have benefits, after all, the responsible cabinet is responsible to the parliament, and the presidential system is responsible to the voters. Although we are only an opposition party, it is always good for the parliament to have more power. In addition, under the responsible cabinet system, Chang Yaoru, the prime minister, has a much heavier burden on his shoulders, since he wants to hold power for a long time, he should really take responsibility and govern the country personally, but he can't hide behind the scenes with military power in his hands like now, and arrange a henchman to be the prime minister in front.

And our country is really difficult to manage well, as long as Chang Yaoru comes to Taiwan, then there must be times when he makes mistakes, can he, the prime minister of the responsible cabinet, not bear any responsibility? Even if there is no way to remove him from power at that time, it will be beneficial to our future election campaign. ”

The Kuomintang bigwigs present nodded frequently. After a while, Hu Hanmin shook his head again and said: "Brother J Shi's idea is very good, but how can Chang Yao be shrewd, how can he not see through the mystery?" If he insists on a presidential system, what can we do? ”

Jiang Jshi smiled faintly and said, "Isn't this suppression of bandits an opportunity now?" If Chang Yaoru wanted the whole country to stand with him and completely beat the Trotskyists, then the help of the Kuomintang and the Progressive Party would be indispensable. ”

Originally, in the legislative and senate houses, the strength of the GCD and the Kuomintang was evenly matched, and the two parties together almost occupied more than 80% of the seats in the parliament, and the remaining less than 20% of the seats were shared by several small parties, among which the Progressive Party, which was controlled by the Beiyang remnants, held the largest number of seats. Although some members of the Kuomintang have now defected to the GCD camp, the GCD was before the results of the 1925 general election. There is still only a simple majority in Parliament. Moreover, in addition to holding a certain number of parliamentary seats, the Kuomintang and the Progressive Party also control quite powerful political resources and propaganda tools. If the GCD, the Kuomintang and the Progressive Party cannot take a unified position in their anti-Soviet stance. It was still very difficult for Chang Ruiqing to completely wipe out the Trotskyite forces in China.

However, Hu Hanmin seemed to have some other ideas, and he hesitated and said to Jiang J Shi: "Brother J Shi, if we are consistent with GCD Chang Yaoru on the issue of suppressing and opposing the Soviet Union, then we will offend Trotsky to death." Isn't that right? ”

Jiang Jshi waved his hand and said, "Zhan Gong, this is a must!" It's not 5 or 10 years ago. Now that China has become one of the great powers, an external like GC International can cause trouble for China. But it is absolutely impossible to have a decisive impact on the political situation in China! This crushing defeat of the People's Revolutionary Party is a clear proof of this. We cannot follow in the footsteps of the People's Revolutionary Party, so we must take a correct stand on foreign issues...... We are at odds with GCD and Chang Yaoru in terms of governing philosophy. It is also possible to fight them in parliament, but when it comes to external affairs, you must and can only be consistent with them. Otherwise, the survival of our Kuomintang will be in question! ”

Speaking of which, for the sake of it. Where do veteran politicians like Hu Hanmin still not understand? On the premise of not demolishing the big stage of China. Chang Ruiqing is willing to play a game of parliamentary struggle with the Kuomintang and the Progressive Party, and can also allow them to slowly continue to govern and capital, and maybe in the future, when he comes to power, Chang Ruiqing's leftist nationalism will not set a road map for the development from state socialism to democratic socialism? And Chang Ruiqing has also said more than once that he does not want to build a Soviet-style bureaucratic machine and leave it to his successor. But if the Kuomintang wants to dismantle Taiwan, then Chang Ruiqing may tear off the mask of democracy at any time, and the current national defense force is the iron-clad Changjia army!

Hu Hanmin nodded silently: "Brother J Shi is reasonable," he glanced at Sun Ke and said, "Brother Zhesheng, you are close to Chang Yaoru." It's up to you to talk to him and give him a little bit of wind about what we mean. ”

Sun Ke knew that Hu Hanmin was referring to the relationship between his cheap sister Sun Yuexun and Chang Ruiqing. At that moment, his cheeks were red and he nodded: "Zhangong, I'll visit Chang Yaoru another day and talk to him." ”

Hu Hanmin smiled with satisfaction, and said to Jiang Jishi: "Although we cannot dismantle Chang Yaoru's platform, we should still take the exemption of agricultural taxes and the improvement of peasants' livelihood as our party's election program...... The peasants account for more than 90 percent of the country's population, and our party must find ways to expand its influence in the rural areas and among the peasants, so it is necessary for us to establish a peasant association organization under our leadership. Brother J Shi, I want to leave this work to you, can you do it well? ”

Since Jiang Jishi decided to play the election, of course he knew that he wanted to seize the big vote warehouse of the peasants, so he nodded and agreed immediately. Hu Hanmin then arranged some matters related to the 1925 general election, and then announced the end of the meeting of the Standing Committee of the Central Committee of the Kuomintang.

……

The Chinese Revolutionary Army besieged on the banks of the Heishui River also carried a radio station, so the GCIST prophet in the Kremlin was also the first to learn of their defeat.

"Traitor! Traitor ......"

Trotsky's roar silenced the officials outside the office who were waiting to be heard. They all wondered in their hearts which unlucky person had annoyed the revolutionary prophet and was now made a traitor......

Vasetis looked at Trotsky silently, and he was also a little depressed, I don't know why, the world revolution is quite smooth in other places, but in China it always encounters all kinds of misfortunes?

The traitor in the mouth of the revolutionary prophet is Mao ZD! Skryansky just brought him Otto. Braun's telegram, which is said to be the "final report", said that more than 10,000 rabbles of the Chinese Revolutionary Army were surrounded on the banks of the Heishui River, and were being attacked by several Chinese reactionary troops with their own, and they were about to be completely annihilated!

Of course, Trotsky would not have worried about the lives of more than 10,000 Chinese peasants, and it was the backbone of the People's Revolutionary Party that really distressed him! The former internationalist fighters of the GC Internationalists, as well as the backbone of the Trotskyists lurking among the cadres of the Northwest Central G, were concentrated in the Golden Tower, and this time it was all gone. Such losses could have been avoided, if it weren't for the fact that Mao ZD sent guns, ammunition and food. Ren Fucheng and Braun had already brought their troops to the Kobdo steppe, and they would not drag so many rabble, and the flexibility of the troops would not be so bad......

What infuriated Trotsky even more. Mao ZD also launched a campaign to purge Soviet spies in several northwestern provinces of China! The Soviet intelligence network in China has been because of Natalie. With the heavy losses caused by the rebellion of Leshinskaya, and now the Trotskyist forces in north-west China have suffered heavy losses, and now Trotsky's internal export of revolution to China has been completely wiped out.

"Comrade Trotsky, I will temporarily suspend or cancel the further export of the revolution to the territory of China. In our parliament for the détente of relations with Britain, we should concentrate our energies on speeding up the construction of heavy industry in the country, so as to lay the foundation for the full-scale outbreak of the world revolution in the future. ”

Vatsettis built yì road. As a military expert, he knows the dangers of fighting on two fronts. Now the Soviet Union is facing off against Germany in the west, and if China and the Soviet Union go to war on the eastern front because of the continuous export of revolution to China. The strategic posture of the Soviet Union was about to fluctuate unusually well.

Skryansky also advised: "Comrade Trotsky, although the uprising of the Chinese Revolutionary Party is facing failure, they have still fulfilled their mission of fighting Chinese revisionism. China's reactionary government will be forced to devote more financial and material resources to improving the lives of the peasants. In this way, the pace of their heavy industry construction will inevitably be slowed down. So the winner of this round of contest is still our Soviet Union! ”

When he said this, Trotsky's face suddenly looked much better. And he is also well aware of the bottom of the USSR. The last Persian war was actually won by a fluke. The current Soviet Union is a standard foreign power and a middle-class cadre, but it does not have the strength to fight another large-scale war.

Trotsky snorted softly, and was just about to give the order when a report came from outside the office door. Trotsky cried out with some anger: "Come in." ”

Trotsky's secretary pushed the door in: "Comrade Trotsky, Comrade Checherin's telegram." ”

"Read." Trotsky pouted softly, and Chicherin was still in Finland negotiating with British Foreign Minister Neville Chamberlain, and there should have been good news for him.

"Dear Comrade Trotsky, British Foreign Secretary Neville Chamberlain has agreed to all our demands. A formal agreement will be signed tomorrow, in which Britain undertakes not to participate in any way in the sanctions and blockade of the USSR. Now you have won the best external environment for the development and growth of the Soviet Union. People's Commissar for Foreign Affairs Chicherin. ”

The corners of Trotsky's mouth twitched coldly, and of course he understood the meaning of Chicherin's words, and in fact he was reminding himself to take it when he saw it, and not to ruin the hard-won best external environment.

"Call back Checherin and ask him to tell Chamberlain that the Soviet Union has no intention of supporting any revolutionary and progressive forces in China to violently resist the Chinese government."

After speaking, Trotsky turned his head to look at Skryansky: "Send a telegram to Comrade Ren Fucheng and Comrade Braun, telling them to destroy all important documents and surrender to the Chinese Wehrmacht forces surrounding them." ”

"What? Surrender!? Skryansky was stunned and stunned. How can we, the GCists, surrender? ”

Trotsky glanced at Skryansky: "The lives of the GC ists are very precious, and no unnecessary sacrifice will be made, and you told them in the telegram that the Soviet Union would exchange 10 Italian prisoners of war for the life of 1 internationalist fighter!" ”

Skryansky glanced at Trotsky with admiration, the internationalist fighters besieged on the banks of the Blackwater would not be able to escape anyway, even if Trotsky ordered them all to dedicate themselves to the cause of GCISM. Rather than having no one listen to what they say, it is better to let them surrender and save their lives, and it is a big deal to exchange them with Italian prisoners of war.

"Comrade Trotsky, what about the Chinese comrades besieged in the Heishui River?" Skryansky did not immediately leave the office to give the order, but asked another question.

"Of course, it is the same," Trotsky said coldly: "The USSR and the GC International will not abandon their fighters!" No matter what country he is! ”

"But in this way, the whole world knows that we supported the Chinese People's Revolutionary Party in launching an armed uprising!" Vatsetis felt that something was wrong and whispered a reminder.

"Who doesn't know about something so obvious?" Trotsky asked faintly.

"It's a difference from what we've openly admitted......"

Trotsky waved his hand and interrupted: "Comrade Vatsetis, I understand your concern, you are worried that the Chinese will wage war against us together with the Germans, right?" Without waiting for Vasetis's answer, Trotsky continued: "Whether they wage war or not depends not on whether or not we have irrefutable evidence of our support for the revolution, but on whether we have the strength to defeat them!" Now that we openly admit to supporting the Chinese People's Revolutionary Party, we are telling Chang Ruiqing and Hitler that we are not afraid of war! If they want to fight, just come and fight! ”

Both Vatsettis and Skryansky understood that Trotsky was bluffing, and a relaxed expression appeared on their faces.

Trotsky paused and said: "Has the choice of our ambassador to the United States been decided?" ”

"Not yet." Skryansky replied that although he was not the People's Commissar for Foreign Affairs, foreign affairs involved the export of revolution, so the GC International had to intervene as well.

"Then arrange for Lev. Comrade Trotsky go to Washington! ”

"Yes, Comrade Trotsky." Skryansky thought to himself that Trotsky must have sent his son to the United States to make China and Germany think that there was some collusion between the United States and the Soviet Union. (To be continued.) )
