Stalin was shocked because he had never imagined that the Chinese were so resolute in their desire for revenge that it had almost become an irreversible obsession.

Such a concept is completely different from the traditional Chinese mindset he understands!

Since the Song Dynasty, China's upper-class figures have been talking about "the words of a sage, repay grievances with virtue" all day long, and as a result, the concept of the entire country and the entire nation has been distorted. As a result, a masochistic mentality similar to the Christian doctrine of "if someone hits me on the left cheek, I take the initiative to send the right cheek too", almost the entire mainstream has taken over.

Even for a long time around the twentieth century, the Chinese played an unusually resigned role. No matter who comes to the door to smoke, they will first habitually accompany the smiling face to flatten themselves, no matter how you look at it, it is cheap!

Don't say anything about "hiding needles in the cotton", he is modest and cautious on the surface, but he uses tricks to find the field behind his back, and the so-called "belly black rabbit" is popular, and it has become a fig leaf for many netizens in the Internet era. If you really have the determination to resist bullying and humiliation, why do you have to make all kinds of small calculations like a thief?

When a confrontation between major powers has a bearing on the dignity of the nation, there is absolutely no room for hypocrisy and wrongdoing.

Nine out of ten people can't figure out what politicians call a curve to save the country, all they can see is that when their families are bullied and the country's dignity suffers a heavy blow, the leaders go to apologize to the perpetrators with a shy face!

How did the people's hearts and minds lose? How did the prestige of the grassroots be lost? It is not only the result of the rampant evil forces in the local area, the inaction of the bureaucracy, and the indifference to the people being humiliated by the fish. Some problems in most places affect only a few people. And the Chinese are particularly tolerant. Even if someone dies in the family. They all knocked out their teeth and swallowed blood. No way, it's been the rule for thousands of years.

But in major national affairs, seeing the country being slapped in the face, the government does not dare to come forward to find justice, which will lead to extremely serious loss and even disappointment!

When the two are added together, the people no longer see themselves as the masters of the country, because the masters of the country are officials, their relatives and friends. People. It's just a group of pigs, dogs, cows and sheep who can get what they want.

Even among the groups of officials, "the people are easy to abuse, and the heavens are difficult to bully" has become a motto, which breaks through the cruelty and helplessness of reality. Ordinary people can be bullied at will, as long as you don't deceive your boss. Otherwise, don't deceive God.

But the problem is that in the ideological system of a certain party, it does not believe in heaven or God, so in the end, only one person is left, "the people are easy to abuse".

Of course, Trotsky and Stalin did not live in that era, and they focused on what they knew about Chinese culture. From all kinds of historical records and articles summarized by diplomats, an impression of China has been formed. A variety of results show. China is a gentle creature that no matter how powerful it is, it will never casually slash at its neighbors.

What an ideal neighbor!

But today, Yang Hao's statement has turned them upside down! In order to regain the lost territory in the Northeast, China has been preparing for a whole decade!

In ten years, no matter how cold the climate is, I have adapted to it, and I can find more resistance and solutions.

No matter how bad the terrain is, it is not a problem to survey it clearly, develop weapons and equipment in a targeted manner, and do a good job of maneuvering in battle and closely cooperating with all links.

All kinds of work have been implemented, and then suddenly show their fangs and sharp teeth, ready to take revenge!

Stalin's head was full of the anger of being deceived! He almost subconsciously thought that Yang Hao took the trouble to invite them to Moscow just to show off in front of them and deliberately humiliate them!

It's absolutely unbearable!

His teeth were clenched, and he seemed to be bursting his teeth. The joints of the two fists were white, and the whirring panting sound was particularly clear in the room. The slightly trembling short body looked as if a fierce beast was struggling to get out of control, and a dangerous aura came out of its body!

Yang Hao glanced at him with a smile, and there was a dignified killing intent in his eyes that flashed away!

Trotsky saw all the expressions of the two men, and immediately pressed Stalin hard, stared at him with a rare smug and stern expression, and conveyed his thoughts: "Do not be impulsive, there is absolutely no room for any mistake at this time!" ”

He always keeps a calm mind, remembers his mission, and must not be provoked by Yang Hao!

The Russian Revolution needed a very suitable opportunity, and even more so, strong external support and cooperation to ensure a smooth transition with the weak defeating the strong and without depleting the vitality of the country as much as possible.

If, for the sake of the final victory, not only the help around them is lost, but a bunch of enemies are added, then for the Bolsheviks, it is tantamount to magnifying the difficulties several times! When the time comes, if they have to fight with the rulers of Tsarist Russia, they may be attacked by outsiders, and the vitality of the entire country and nation will be completely exhausted. At that time, Russia will face a catastrophe!

Neither the European powers nor China's evil neighbors mind cutting the next piece with a knife to devour it!

This danger was deeply aware of by many revolutionary leaders, including Lenin. If you want to avoid it, you must not be impulsive!

To be honest, Trotsky was not happy to come with Stalin, this guy's temper would have taken a big turn.

But he himself could not be fully convinced by Lenin, and some even suspected that he might secretly compromise and agree to some unfavorable conditions for the future of Russia to the Chinese. Sending Stalin with him may have meant surveillance.

As helpless as it was, he had no choice but to accept it.

Stalin snorted, suppressed his anger and sat stiffly. Under the lowered eyelids, two unconcealable hateful gazes almost set the carpet on fire.

He made up his mind that in the future, if the revolution succeeded, he would definitely accumulate enough strength to take revenge on China mercilessly!

Trotsky took a deep breath and said calmly: "Since China is so well prepared, it can be said that it is quite certain to defeat the decaying Tsarist Russia." In principle, we do not have much objection to the return of the territory east of Lake Baikal. But in the past fifty years. After all, Russia has invested huge manpower, material and financial resources there. It is the blood and sweat of the entire Russian people that are spent. on this. We believe that Chinese friends should give appropriate compensation. ”

Even if the revolutionaries were to unify their minds and agree to exchange the territories of the Far East, which were already untenable, so that China would be assured of its support for the revolutionary cause and good-neighborly relations in the future, they would not intervene in the fight against and suppression of the revolution by the tsarist ruling forces.

But you can't promise it too much, it will seem very cheap.

Yang Hao smiled lightly: "China will never covet the wealth of its neighbors and friends, we only take the part that belongs to us." Your request. I can speak for the Government. However, this is to deduct the property damage inflicted on our people by Tsarist Russia over the past decades, and to include all our support for the revolutionary cause of your Party. ”

In a word, China will not help for free, and it will cost money to support your revolution.

Throughout the modern history of China in the world, on the surface, the Soviet Union has played a tremendous role in supporting China's economic construction from the beginning of the revolution to the subsequent period. Arguably. What help is something that other powers will definitely not support. Without Soviet support, revolutionary ideas to armament. It's not that easy to obtain. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the construction of the entire industrial system, and even the research of the atomic bomb, were huge help that could hardly be bought with money. We don't have to hide this, this is indeed the greatest support of the Soviet Union for China, and we are eternally grateful.

However, all this help is not gratuitous. Everything China gets, all the help it gets, is spent on money!

It can be said that it is a fair trade.

In the decades of the Cold War, the United States and the Soviet Union spared no effort to provide a lot of support to their allies, and the United States really provided great help, throwing out tens of billions of dollars on a small Taiwan island! Japan, South Korea, European countries, not to mention.

Relatively speaking, the Soviet Union seemed to be much smaller, and everything was clear. However, in terms of their skills and results, it is their support that is the most critical and effective for China.

It's a bad debt that's hard to calculate.

Trotsky, however, was very pleased that the clear price was more in line with the Western way of thinking. He was deeply afraid that the Chinese would be like historical traditions, ashamed to talk about money, vague in transactions, and in the end it became a rip-off contract that could be pulled out at any time to tell the truth. A little bit of China's belly is black, and it is called a bad thing to pull this thing out as an excuse to interfere at every turn!

He immediately breathed a sigh of relief, nodded again and again, and said, "This is as it should be." I am very grateful to our Chinese friends for their support and help to our revolutionary cause. ”

Yang Hao said leisurely: "It's nothing, after all, we are all revolutionary forces, and in the future, for the liberation of the people of the whole world, we need you to lead the new Russia and play a vital role." You know, Chinese culture has never emphasized outward expansion. ”

Trotsky reacted very quickly, his eyes lit up, and he was surprised: "What does Mr. Special Envoy mean that China does not intend to take the place of Great Britain in the future?" Not seeking hegemony in the world? ”

Yang Hao nodded affirmatively: "Chinese civilization pays attention to harmony. On the premise of obtaining sufficient self-preservation, we will provide cultural influence on foreign countries, and respond to hegemony with a royal road, and we will never impose our will on the people of other countries and nations. We stress harmony over diversity, and all countries and nations have the right to strive for independence and self-determination that conform to the characteristics of their civilization. The colonialism of the British and French powers is undesirable and must be replaced and extinguished. ”

Trotsky rejoiced! I couldn't help but exchange glances with Stalin, and found that the other party was also a lot more relaxed.

Such a China is indeed a reassuring neighbor in the future!

The ideas of the Russian revolutionaries are now largely formed. The program of the Bolshevik Party, headed by Lenin, included a grand vision of the realization of communism on a worldwide scale.

However, because of the unexpected victory of the Chinese revolution, their great plan had uncontrollable variables. If China's "revisionism" is exported with the help of its great national strength, it is very likely to lead to the failure of pure Marxist emancipation of all mankind, and even replace these orthodox forces.

Now, at least with Yang Hao's verbal promise, there shouldn't be too many variables in a short period of time. At least they will not have much interference in the early stage of completing the Russian Revolution. On the contrary, it can be a powerful helper.

Happiness came too suddenly. It is inevitable that people will be suspicious.

Stalin, who had always been prejudiced, asked angrily: "As far as I know." Since ancient times, China has liked to call itself the Central Empire. I like the nations of the world to treat you as suzerains. Even if a republic is now realized, the surrounding countries still maintain a suzerainty system, which makes people doubt your claim. ”

Trotsky also regained his composure, staring at Yang Hao's changing expression.

Yang Hao actually did not deny it, and immediately smiled and bowed his head: "It is our consistent fine tradition to help neighbors and friends with our own advanced culture and strong strength. But this has a premise, they voluntarily accept it and take the initiative to ask for help. And not what our country has imposed on them, and this needs to be clearly stated. Moreover, we have never interfered in their internal affairs except in cases of brutal abuse of their citizens. In addition, you can also see that our neighbors have always maintained their own cultural characteristics and traditional customs, and we are only supporting them in economic education to help them give full play to their own resources and keep up with the pace of industrialization and modernization in the world as soon as possible, so as to raise the level of material civilization of the whole country. Excuse me. What's wrong with that? ”

Those small countries are voluntary, and you can't fault them. Of course. For example, Japan was divided into three parts, Kyushu Island was completely integrated into the Chinese system, and the part from Kyoto to Tokyo in Honshu continued to retain the original Japanese rule. Shikoku Island, however, became a public area of trade between the great powers.

But Japan has come to this end, and they brought it upon themselves.

In addition, haven't they been clamoring to "break away from Asia and join Europe"? China respects their choice, so the government of the island is following the example of Britain to achieve a constitutional monarchy! At the same time, it is also the assistance of the British, French, and American powers to form a government council!

The two were speechless for a while, and only before they could raise objections, Yang Hao did not give them a chance to speak, and continued: "Our revolutionaries also agree with Marxism that the world will surely realize communism in the future, which is also in line with the idea of 'great harmony under heaven' that our country has pursued since ancient times, and there is no contradiction or conflict between them. However, we are more soberly aware that this can only be realized when the material civilization and spiritual civilization of mankind have developed together to an extremely high stage. At present, mankind cannot even solve the basic hunger, poverty, and ignorance, and the most critical cultural and ideological maturity and perfection have not been achieved, so how can we talk about the realization of the ultimate goal? ”

Speaking of which, he stood up, pointed to the dark city outside the window, and said impassionedly: "Look at the people outside, their life's energy is spent on basic food, clothing, shelter and transportation, how can they invest precious time in a great goal that will not be achieved in a hundred years?" Only by first solving their fundamental problems of survival, and then gradually solving the stages of security, love and belonging, respect, and self-realization, can they completely transcend the low-level material and spiritual needs and sublimate to the highest realm of pursuing nobility and detachment. ”

In terms of the culture of various countries, the realization of communism is equivalent to the Western Heaven of Buddha, the Heaven of Christianity, the Thirty-three Days of Taoism, and the Great Harmony of Confucianism.

In the communist era, everyone must become a gentleman and sage in order to achieve it.

As everyone knows, Chinese Confucianism has only produced four saints in three thousand years, so this is difficult.

Trotsky and Stalin listened to the buzzing of their heads, and a large number of chaotic thoughts collided in it, stirring into a pot of porridge.

It is gratifying that China actually identifies with communism, which is the first time that it has come out of the mouth of an important person, and it represents the ideological perception of His Excellency the Great Führer himself. What may have been a belief in the doctrine of a handful of losers is now affirmed by the most powerful person in the world, and what an uplifting effect this will bring to the party and even other revolutionaries, is simply immeasurable!

What is frustrating is that China, or Yang Hao, is very pessimistic about the realization of communism! Why can't you see hope in a hundred years, is it simply telling everyone that all the current efforts are useless? Is it impossible to succeed merely by appealing to the masses with communist ideas? Say that they, the Russian Bolsheviks and Mensheviks, were doomed?

"Nope! We will definitely succeed! ”

It was Stalin, who was the most resolute, clenched his fist and waved it vigorously, generously expressing his determination.

Trotsky also came to his senses, took a deep breath, calmed his pounding heart, and said solemnly: "The message conveyed by Your Excellency the Special Envoy, we must seriously consider it. As you said, seeking common ground while reserving differences, at least we have the same pursuit in the big field of thought, and in terms of specific operations, we still do it well according to the differences of our own nationality and culture. ”

Yang Hao nodded: "We officially think so, and we also hope that your revolution will be successful, and the experience will be extended to other European countries with similar cultures, and finally lead the main nations of the world to take the lead and achieve great results in stages." ”

Trotsky stood up and shook hands with him: "We look forward to that day as soon as possible!" ”

The two didn't dare to stay any longer, for fear of being fooled into the ditch by Yang Hao's big words, and hurriedly said goodbye with full of exchange results. Of course, the excuse is that he is worried that the traces will be discovered by the reactionary police of Tsarist Russia, and it will not be good for Yang Hao to be involved.

hurriedly walked out of the hotel, was blown by the cold wind, the two had a cold war, and their hot heads calmed down a lot.

Trotsky clutched his heart and said in horror: "I really can't imagine that the young envoy has a very demagogic mouth, and I almost begin to doubt my own ideas." Is it true that our revolutionary cause must be as gradual and gradual as he says, and that we cannot rush to achieve success? ”

Stalin snorted coldly: "As far as I can see, he deliberately misled us. A corrupt and depraved tsarist government and a useless army will make it easier for them to win! Once our revolution succeeds, educated soldiers and a united and motivated government will become a formidable resistance to China's expansion! ”

In the final analysis, he doesn't believe in any nonsense that "China will not expand".

Trotsky was silent for a moment, then sighed softly and said: "It is better to record the situation in detail and take it back to Paris for Comrade Lenin and others to analyze and judge together." Now, let's make a small temptation according to the agreement! ”

Stalin was obviously unwilling, but there was no better way, and left angrily with a black face.

Two days later, in St. Petersburg and Moscow, large-scale protests broke out in the same time, and the unequivocal protests launched against the corrupt bureaucrats and their thugs who were stealing the wealth that the people deserved!

When Tsar Nicholas II heard this, he immediately became furious: "Those damned revolutionaries, I am magnanimous enough, do they see my kindness as weakness, and really think that I dare not kill?!" ”

Prime Minister Stolypin hurriedly reminded: "There may be another hidden reason for this, that Chinese envoy has been active too frequently recently, maybe it has something to do with them!" ”

Nicholas II gritted his teeth in hatred: "Nasty Chinese Yankees!" Alright, arrange an audience as soon as possible, and get them out of Russian territory right away! (To be continued......)
