"Not only revisionism," Trotsky said, "but also imperialism and reactionaries in various countries, I suppose this was also Lenin's last wish?" He had always been against the World War, and he had been against the First World War, but now that the Second World War was approaching, Lenin would have tried to avoid or delay the Second World War if he had been there. As Lenin's comrades-in-arms and heirs, we have an obligation to fulfill his last wish so that the people of the world can enjoy a few more years of peace. Why don't we make Comrade Lenin's funeral a 'World Peace Conference.'"

"World Peace Congress?" Mrs. Lenin was stunned and stunned, thought for a while, and said: "Comrade Lenin was indeed worried about our break with the revisionist party during his lifetime. His fears were mainly based on military aspects, but Comrade Lenin never mentioned reconciliation with imperialism and the opposition...... Are we going to abandon the ideal of emancipating all mankind?"

"Of course not," Trotsky said with a hint of ridicule at the corner of his lips: "Reconciliation is but a tactic to confuse the enemy, in order to liberate all mankind better and faster."

"Comrade Trotsky, you say that we still have to reconcile with imperialism and reactionaries in various countries? Who are the imperialists and reactionaries of all countries?" Kalinin, who was in the conference room, suddenly interjected. He is one of the few Leninists in the top echelons of the Communist Party, and is currently the chairman of the Supreme Soviet of the Soviet Union and the nominal head of state of the Soviet Union, but his status within the Communist Party is not high, and he is still only an alternate member of the Political Bureau, and he never takes the initiative to speak at the meetings of the Political Bureau. It's a rare time to ask questions today.

Trotsky said lightly: "I suppose the reactionary authorities in Britain, France, Germany, Romania, Hungary, Yugoslavia, Bulgaria, Greece and Turkey are imperialists and reactionaries of various countries, right?"

"German reactionaries?" Rao is Kalinin, the world's number one vase, also exclaimed. "How is this possible? What to do with Soviet Germany? Are we going to drop our support for the German GCD?"

"I certainly won't give up the German GCD!" Trotsky glanced coldly at Kalinin, who had spoken a little too much, and the latter unconsciously shuddered in his heart. Trotsky continued: "And I will not abandon the ideal of a world revolution. Offering reconciliation is nothing but a means of confusing revisionists, imperialism and reactionaries! After a pause, he continued: "The so-called post-war boom in the capitalist world has been going on for many years, but anyone who is familiar with Marxist theory knows that this boom has no basis and is only a false appearance. This is because the productivity of labour in the capitalist countries has risen markedly with technological progress and massive investment, but the wages of workers have stagnated for a long time.

In the United States, the massive use of new machines has crowded out a large number of workers. According to the U.S. government's own statistics, in the decade from 1919 to 1928. The total value of industrial production in the United States has increased by almost 50 percent, while the number of industrial workers has not increased, and the actual number of workers in the transportation industry has decreased. Only in the service sector, where wages are low, did the increase in workers increase the most. As a result, the wages of American workers have grown far as fast as the increase in U.S. industrial production over the past decade. Since the masses of workers and peasants are the basic consumers, the inability to increase their incomes for a long time will inevitably lead to the overproduction of industrial products in the United States. Such a situation is prevalent throughout the capitalist world, so the danger of a world economic crisis has been laid. ”

"But we don't see any signs of overproduction. Not even the slightest clue. Trotsky's son asked with a frown. As editor-in-chief of Pravda, he was well aware of the internal situation in the capitalist countries. Although there is a situation in which the increase in the value of industrial production far exceeds the increase in the wages of workers, it is true that there is no surplus.

"That's because of our world revolutionary policy!" Trotsky looked sad and said: "Yesterday morning, when Comrade Lenin was still alive, he spoke to me about the economic crisis of the capitalist world...... I considered the issue carefully and believed that the economic crisis was inevitable. But now the crisis has not occurred, and there is not even a sign of it, if the report of GC International is true. ”

He looked at Skryansky, who immediately replied: "GC International has been closely monitoring the economies of the capitalist countries, and indeed it has not found any signs of an economic crisis in the American economy. This may have something to do with the huge demand in the UK, Germany, and China. ”

"It's mostly about us." Trotsky smiled bitterly: "The whole world knows that we will start a world revolution in a few years." That is why imperialism and the reactionaries of various countries are desperately increasing their armaments and preparing for war with us. So there is a surplus of American steel, a surplus of American machinery, a surplus of American automobiles, a surplus of American oil. All of them have been bought by Britain, Germany, France, China, and Italy, and some have become arsenals and heavy industry factories that have been built or are under construction, and some have become mountains of weapons and equipment and military supplies in warehouses...... The surplus American capital was lent by American bankers to the imperialist countries of Britain, Germany, France, China and Italy to buy American products and opportunities. Comrade Pidakov, I'm right, right?"

Pidakov, who was now deputy chairman of the Council of People's Commissars in charge of the economy of the Soviet Union, heard Trotsky's question and replied in a flattering tone: "Comrade Chairman, your analysis is incomparably correct. According to the figures available to the Council of People's Commissars, in 1928, $4.4 billion was flowing into China and Europe from the United States! China received $700 million and Germany $1.35 billion. Europe and China, on the other hand, imported more than $12 billion of industrial goods and oil from the United States in 1928, accounting for more than 12 percent of the gross domestic product of the United States, a figure more than the peak of World War I. Therefore, the surplus industrial products of the United States were digested by the arms expansion of Britain, Germany, France, China and Italy, and the economic crisis of the United States and the entire capitalist world was naturally postponed. ”

Trotsky suddenly laughed, but the smile looked a little chilly: "That is why we have to take the initiative to express our will for peace to the revisionists, imperialists, and reactionaries of various countries."

It turned out that Trotsky's idea was to induce an economic crisis in the capitalist world! By creating the illusion of détente between the Soviet Union and the imperialist countries, the pace of expansion of Britain, Germany, France, China, Italy, and other countries will be slowed down, and their demand for American industrial products and machinery and equipment will drop sharply, while the shrinking of overseas markets will lead to a serious surplus of industrial production in the United States, thus speeding up the arrival of the economic crisis in the United States and the capitalist world.

"But will they be fooled?" Skryansky frowned and said: "It is difficult to resolve the contradictions between the Soviet Union and Britain, Germany, and China, while the excess capacity and capital of the United States are mainly resolved by these three countries.

Trotsky waved his hand indifferently and said: "Why can't it be resolved?" First of all, the contradiction between us and China is only a dispute of lines, not a matter of life and death. With the help of Comrade Lenin's funeral, we can invite Mao Zd, chairman of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, to visit the Soviet Union and express to him our will for peace. And our contradiction with the reactionary authorities in Germany was our support for Soviet Germany in East Prussia...... We can ask the German GCD to pretend to negotiate peaceful reunification with the Berlin authorities. As for the British, their demands were only to keep India and to obtain assurances that we would not export further revolution to the Middle East, both of which we could conditionally accede to. ”

"Are we going to abandon Germany and India?"

"This will severely discourage the proletarians of the world!"

"It will also fuel the arrogance of imperialism and reactionaries!"

There was an exclamation in the conference room. According to the propaganda caliber of the Soviet GCD over the years, the German revolution and the Indian revolution were an important part of the world revolution and the forefront of the contest between the international socialist camp and the capitalist camp! If the Soviet Union gave up these two territories, in the eyes of the Soviet people and the people of the world, would it not mean the retreat of the socialist camp from the capitalist camp?

Krestinsky, who was now second in the Soviet Union's GCD bureau, looked Trotsky in the eye. "Comrade Trotsky, the retreat of the Soviet Union will be seen as weakness by imperialism, and after the outbreak of the economic crisis, they may well use the aggression against the Soviet Union as a way to pass on the crisis."

Trotsky said in a calm tone: "This possibility exists, but the imperialist powers are never monolithic, and their respective circumstances are so varied that it is difficult to unite to invade the Soviet Union, and if they could have done so, the Soviet Union would have perished long ago."

Krestinsky nodded, no more words, he knew his status, and he also knew that the number two person was not easy to be, so his activity in the top level of the Soviet GCD was far inferior to that of Skryansky, Vatsettis, and Yue Fei.

Trotsky then added: "What can the imperialist countries get from the Soviet Union? Nothing more than territorial resources. These two things may be very attractive to Germany, because what the Germans lack is territorial resources. However, it was not very attractive to Britain and France, who had vast colonies, many of which were unexplored, and Britain and France did not share a border with the Soviet Union, so it was difficult to cross the German sphere of influence and occupy territory on Soviet soil. As for the United States, if they want to expand, they should first and foremost in the Americas, followed by Asia and the Pacific. China, on the other hand, has not fully developed its own land and resources, and perhaps they have ambitions for the vast land of the Soviet Union, but it is the rich South Seas that really attract them. Because the land there was more conducive to cultivation than Siberia and Central Asia in the Soviet Union, and the transportation was also very convenient. The seizure of the South Seas is the best solution to the Chinese population surplus and food crisis.

Therefore, I do not see the possibility of the imperialist countries of Britain, the United States, France, Germany and others uniting to invade the Soviet Union. (To be continued.) You are welcome to come to the Biquge www.biquge.info to vote for recommendation and monthly passes.
