6/06/92, South China Sea, about 50 nautical miles northeast of Singapore.

There was a lot of wind and waves on the sea, and there was a drizzle. In the midst of the storm, two warships without any flags were slowly circling the sea. The Japanese battlecruiser Kongo and the destroyer Shimakaze, escorting it, had already arrived on the route that Chang Ruiqing had to pass on his way home.

On the starboard deck of the Kongo, two Japanese officers with the rank of Osaku were striding along, and all the officers and soldiers on duty stood up and saluted when they saw them. One of these two Dazuo is Guan Gancheng, the captain of the King Kong, who is also the commander-in-chief of this "naval murder operation". And one is the liaison officer sent by Crown Prince Hirohito, Kenji Dohihara.

Two large sas strolling in the rain. Wet from rain. But they didn't care. On the undulating sea, both of them frowned.

"Tu Fei Yuan-kun, what now? It is very likely that Chang Ruiqing will be on that French cruise ship, and if we attack, it will be an act of war against France......"

"You can apologize afterwards, you can compensate, but if it doesn't work, the two of us will go to the Arc de Triomphe in Paris! It's worth exchanging the deaths of the two of us for the fragmentation of China. ”

"But...... What if Chang Ruiqing was on the heavy cruiser Haitian? ”

"Just sink together."

"I'm afraid it's a little difficult."

"Why?"

"If you hit the French cruise ship first, you will give the Haitian a chance to escape, and the speed of this heavy cruiser is as high as knots. The Kongo had a maximum speed of only 275 knots. And with relatively normal visibility, both sides can spot each other at least 20,000 meters away. At such a distance, it is impossible to hit the target with a single round of shelling...... I'm afraid it will take a while so that the Haitian will escape to Singapore at high speed......"

"Then let's call the Haitian first, so there will be no problem, right? You can let the King Kong deal with the Haitian, and the Island Wind will sink the French cruise ship, in short, we must make sure to eliminate Chang Ruiqing! Guan Jun, there's nothing wrong with that, right? ”

Guan Gancheng smiled bitterly: "How can it be certain?" Naval battles are thirty percent in people, and seventy percent in heaven! For example, in rainy and foggy weather like today, it is not clear ten nautical miles away. There's a good chance you'll pass by. ”

"What's the weather like here in the South China Sea in the next few days?"

"It's hard to say." Guan Gancheng shook his head. "Who can say for sure that climate change here in the South China Sea is unpredictable? And it is also possible for them to pass through this sea area at night. ”

"At night? Isn't the Navy the best at fighting at night? ”

"That's not the same thing, if the Chinese are careful and turn off the lights and quietly pass guò, who can find out?"

Kenji Dohihara frowned. asked in a low voice: "Guan Jun, what is the probability of success of this operation?" ”

"It won't be more than fifty percent." Guan Gancheng suddenly had an imperceptible smile on his face, I don't know if he thought of the possibility of half of the failure? When he heard that there was a French cruise ship traveling with the Sea to the Sky. He's kind of backing down. Although the sinking of a French cruise ship does not necessarily mean that Japan will go to war with France, such a risk cannot be ruled out. If France entered the war, then their navy would be able to rely on the French possessions in the Indian Ocean and the Pacific Ocean to break diplomatic relations, and they could easily cut off Japan's overseas trade! This is quite a fatal blow to the island nation of Japan! Moreover, the Anglo-French relationship was far more important than the Anglo-Japanese relationship, and if France and Japan were at war, Britain would certainly be on the side of France...... The consequences are too deadly.

"Brother Kaiyin. My plan was simple, a typical European-style rebellion, starting with rallies and speeches. The venue is on the playground of the camp of the 5th Division under the 1st Red Banner Army in the Far East, and it is expected that 15,000 people will be mobilized to listen to your speech. The time is tomorrow morning......"

In a wood-paneled bungalow in the slums of Chita City, Zhang Guotao met his accomplices who were preparing to rebel against him. Except for Tang Jiu, they are all middle- and lower-level cadres of the Chinese Gang. There is a regimental commander. Two battalion commanders, four company commanders, and no political work cadres; after Zhang Guotao was transferred from his post as chairman of the Far Eastern Revolutionary Military Committee, all the members of the Chinese Gang who served as political work cadres and high-ranking officers in the Far Eastern Red Army were transferred to local work.

Speaking of today's meeting, it is actually quite difficult. Although the agents of the Far Eastern Political Security Bureau were a little lax and not as serious as the agents in Moscow, it took a lot of effort to avoid their eyes and ears. Fortunately, Zhang Guotao and Tang Jiu are both experts in spies, and in the end, they finally managed to get rid of their tails and go to this meeting place hidden in the slums of Chita. The owner of the house turned out to be a low-level cadre of the China Gang, but a few weeks ago the whole family had been arrested by the Far East Political Security Bureau, and the house was empty. According to Tang Jiu's experience, the Cheka warriors would no longer bother with this empty house, and the surrounding neighbors would also avoid this house that was likely to bring disaster for a long time. Therefore, the bold Tang spy put the location of the secret meeting here.

And now it is the Tang Da spy himself who is talking about it. He glanced at the allies in the room with a piercing gaze, all of them worried, including the former members of the Red Brigade.

"Fifteen thousand?" Zhang Guotao seems to have some doubts about this number.

"Almost." Tang Jiu explained with a smile. "All three regiments of the 5th Division remained in the barracks, two of which were dominated by our men, and one regiment, which was dominated by Buryat Mongols and also inclined to us."

"That's only 5,000 people." Zhang Guotao said.

He knew that the Red Army in the Far East was not mobilized at present, and it was still in peacetime, not because it was taken lightly, but because the strategy of the Soviet Red Army on the Eastern Front was decided. The main force of the Red Army was pinned down on the Western Front, and only a few hundred thousand people could be used to fight on the Eastern Front, and even if these troops were placed in the Far East, it would be impossible to resist the attack of the powerful Chinese Army, so after the signing of the Non-Aggression Pact of the Three Kingdoms. The Soviet Red Army was planning to empty cities in the Far East, while deploying a certain number of troops in Central Asia and west of Lake Baikal. Prepare to counter a possible Chinese attack by holding the Baikal line and invading and occupying Xinjiang.

"And members of the nearby collective farms will also come to listen to you." Tang Jiu said. "The name of this uprising was to oppose Trotsky's policy of collectivization of agriculture. So the farmers will definitely support us. ”

"And then?" Zhang Guotao then asked.

Tang Jiu smiled and said, "Occupy the division headquarters and arsenal of the 5th Division first, in fact, there will be two small detachments to carry out this task at the beginning of the rally speech...... When the ammunition is obtained, the troops can be armed, and then they will go to occupy Chita and try to control Dzerzhinsky, Stalin, and Blyukher. Then in their name the GCD of the Far Eastern Republic and the Supreme People's Commissariat of the Far East were formed, and the independence of the Far Eastern Republic was declared, all collective farms in the Far East were dissolved, and the land was returned to the peasants. ”

"What? Far Eastern independence! Will it be successful? ”

"Will China support us? And will Anglo-American imperialism support it? ”

"The key is whether the peasants in the Far East will support it. As long as we have their help, we can at least make things bigger, and it will be no problem to persist for the last year and a half. ”

"The peasants will definitely support it, there have been dozens of peasant uprisings in the Far East during this time!" (Historically, the collectivization of agriculture in the Soviet Union also caused great unrest in the countryside, and finally tens of millions of people were arrested.)

"As long as the chaos can be raised, the international community will definitely support it, and if it doesn't work, you can go to foreign countries. It's better than waiting here for them to be washed out! ”

"There is also a concentration camp, there is one near Chita, most of the prisoners are prisoners of war who have been released by China, there are tens of thousands of people, if only they could support us!"

As soon as Tang Jiu's words came out, everyone in the room began to discuss. They all seem to be quite confident. Tang Jiu nodded with satisfaction, coughed lightly, and the room suddenly fell silent. He turned his head to Zhang Guotao and smiled, "Brother Kaiyin, do you still have any questions?" ”

"There is one more question," Zhang Guotao said with a faint smile. "Do you still keep in touch with Nanjing?"

Tang Jiu nodded. "There has always been a connection, but recently it was interrupted."

That is to say. Isn't this time Nanjing's instructions? ”

"It's not." Tang Jiu said loudly in an affirmative tone: "But with Yaoshuai's rewards and punishments, you will definitely not take this risk in vain." He looked at Zhang Guotao with blazing eyes, and said in a deep voice: "You helped Trotsky deal with Yao Shuai before, and when you return to China in the future, Yao Shuai will not pursue this matter." If you really don't feel at ease, you can also fly away, and you can take the gold and dollar bills from Chita Bank! ”

"My family ......"

"Hahaha!" Tang Jiu looked up to the sky and laughed: "Comrade Kaiyin! Don't pretend, you are a person who does big things, how can you be bound by the love of your children? Wives can be remarried, children can be reborn! ”

Zhang Guotao was told that his mind was broken, but his face was silent. Just sighed lightly and said coldly: "This time it's not that I'm unkind, it's really those old hairy people who are unjust, and after using us Chinese, they want to unload the mill and kill the donkey!" Hmph, then it's no wonder we're going to blame! Comrades, this time let's have a good fight in Chita, who can't get off the stage in the end! ”

……

June 7, 92 was an ordinary day in the original history. However, in this fork in the road, there were two unexpected events that almost changed the direction of history.

The first of these events began with a rally and a speech. Soviet Far Eastern Time, around 9 a.m. on June 7. More than 10,000 people had gathered in the large playground of the 5th Division of the Soviet Red Army in Vyaprosk, a small town less than 5 kilometers from Chita, half of whom were officers and men of the 5th Division, while the other half were peasants from several nearby collective farms - all of them, according to the official explanation of the Soviet government, were landlords and kulaks! And those Red officers and soldiers were all Chinese spies who had infiltrated the revolutionary ranks!

Well, thousands of Chinese spies and thousands of Russian landlords and kulaks crowded this not-so-big playground. In the middle of the playground had been parked in advance a dilapidated horse-drawn carriage used to transport goods. Zhang Guotao stood on it, holding a tin rolled up tin horn in his hand, and began to speak. This is a speech destined to go down in history forever.

“…… The power of the Soviet state has been seized by conspirators and careerists, and Comrade Lenin has been surrounded by enemies who have infiltrated the Bolshevik Party! The correct NEP has been abandoned without any reason. The oppression of the peasantry has far exceeded the darkest times in history, all those with a clear conscience are being unjustly purged and treated, and only the most despicable and shameless villains can gain a little under Trotsky's dictatorship! Such examples are everywhere, such villains are everywhere around you, and the chairman of every collective farm and the special branch cadres are such people!

Now the bread is gone, the milk is gone, the land is gone. The livestock are gone, and even your dignity and freedom are gone! Lenin's promise was gone, and it was all seized by Trotsky and his lackeys. What else do you have? Life? Life is precious, and in order to keep it, you can give up the qiē that you cherish and live like a dog. Oh no. You don't live as well as dogs! It's really not as good, because the dog doesn't have to worry about becoming a rich peasant dog or a landlord dog, the dog won't get up early and work greedily at night, and is not willing to spend a small amount of money to buy himself a bone, and then put all the qiē that can be saved into production...... But what's wrong with that? How did this become a sinner? To be deprived of a qiē and then sent to hard labor? How does the conscience of those old men who ride on your heads grow? Every penny they spend comes from the taxes you pay, and you work diligently and honestly to pay your taxes, and even the Tsar will no longer embarrass obedient people like you. ”

Hearing this, there seemed to be a little commotion in the crowd. A Mongol in a shabby robe interjected: "The old man sent by the tsar is also a devil." The crowd below also began to talk about which was worse, the tsar or the current GCD.

Zhang Guotao said loudly: "Be quiet, be quiet." Comrades. I'm not speaking for the tsar, really not, I don't have even the slightest affection for the Romanov dynasty. But I have to admit that we now have a government worse than the Romanov dynasty, which I am sure must be the worst in the whole world. Each of us knows this, but we dare not say it, and we still pretend to live in heaven, and we still pretend to believe that 5% of the world's people live in dire straits. ”

At this time, someone in the crowd shouted: "If you don't believe it, you can't do it!" Someone will make a small report! ”

Zhang Guotao waved his hand vigorously. "Yes! Trotsky's agents are everywhere, perhaps in the venue of our meeting! But you are still here, why? Because you all know very well in your hearts that there is no way to live any longer, and the Trotskyites, through the so-called collectivization, have taken away everything from you, and there is not much food rations left, and it will definitely not be able to hold out until the autumn harvest of '92, and at that time the fruits of your labor will still be taken away...... When the time comes, you kindest and hardest working peasants, will have only one way out of starvation! Comrades, brothers peasants in the Soviet state, ordinary soldiers and commanders of the Red Army, are you willing to let the peasants themselves or your families accept such treatment? Are you ready to accept the tragic fate of starving to death at home or in a concentration camp? ”

"Nope! This is unjust! The crowd below chanted.

"So what are we going to do?" Zhang Guotao asked loudly.

"Struggle! Struggle! Only fight with them......" shouted the crowd below.

Zhang Guotao waved his hand very imposingly, and the scene was quiet again. He said: "The struggle is certain, we cannot sit idly by!" Of course, I also know that our enemies are very strong, and there will be sacrifices in our struggle! But if you don't fight, there is no way out, and if you don't fight, you can only wait for destruction!

Moreover, our struggle is not isolated. Because even in the upper echelons of the Bolshevik Party, there were people who were dissatisfied with Trotsky's perverse behavior! As a member of the Central Committee of the Communist Party, I am one of them. Our struggle is not against the Soviet state and the Bolshevik Party, but against those enemies who have usurped the state and the party and emptied Comrade Lenin! Lenin supported us, the overwhelming majority of the Soviet working masses supported us! So the final victory must be ours! Trotsky and his henchmen will surely pay the price they deserve for their atrocities!

Now, on behalf of Lenin, I declare the dissolution of all collective farms on the lands of the Far Eastern Republic, the return of land and livestock to the peasants, the abolition of a secret service organization, the granting of freedom of speech, freedom of the press, freedom of association to all citizens, the release of all political criminals, and the abolition of the privileged position of the Party...... Pass guò free and secret ballot to elect a new Far Eastern Soviet! ”

"Long live Lenin! Long live the New Economic Policy! Long live freedom! Some of the crowd took the lead in shouting slogans. The masses who did not know the truth had already been stirred up, and the counter-revolutionary slogans were shouted so violently that they even woke up Yevlenko, the commander of the 5th Division, who had been drunk last night. When the disheveled division commander walked out of his dormitory and stood on the upper floor of his two-story small building, he saw that he didn't know when a sentry had been set up downstairs, and he also aimed his gun in the direction of the small building! He subconsciously asked loudly, "What kind of army are you?" Who asked you to come? ”

Before he could finish his words, he heard bursts of slogans coming from a distance. "Long live Lenin! Down with Trotsky! Long live the New Economic Policy! When he looked up, he saw a crowd of people rushing towards the small building where he was. Thus began the 67 riots in the Soviet Far East, which shocked the world!
