Everyone didn't expect that someone would question Chang Ruiqing, the prime minister, in person, and more than a dozen eyes were focused on him, only to find that it was Qu Qiubai, an alternate member of the Political Bureau, who spoke. Qu Qiubai, who has served as the supreme leader of the Central G twice in history, is a follower of Zhou Elai in this time and space, is the deputy secretary of the Far East Bureau of the Central G, and a legislator elected in the Republic of Far East, so he is now stationed in Nanjing for a long time, and he also serves as Zhou Elai's agent, so he became an alternate member of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee of the Central Committee of the China and G not long ago.

Hearing this question, Chang Ruiqing's face remained unchanged and he was very quiet, although he did not see through Trotsky's conspiracy, but it did not prevent him from continuing to pursue an anti-Soviet policy, and as for the reason, someone would naturally think about it for him. Chairman Mao ZD smiled helplessly, took the question and said in a deep voice:

"Trotsky, of course, had a conspiracy, and this conspiracy was very obvious, which was to make us relax our guard against the Soviet Union and create the possibility of a surprise attack by the Soviet Red Army. Therefore, while dealing with the Soviet Union's peace proposals on the surface, we must absolutely heighten our vigilance, and all the work of preparing for war against the Soviet Union must be carried out according to the plan, and there must be no slackness in the slightest. ”

Chang Ruiqing nodded in his heart, the reasons he can think of now are the same as Mao Zd, but he and Hitler are not fools, how can they relax their vigilance and be attacked by Trotsky? Trotsky probably disdained to use this kind of low-level conspiracy that people could see through at a glance, right?

Qu Qiubai's opinion seemed to be the same as Chang Ruiqing's, he glanced at Chang Ruiqing, who was sitting still, and said: "Although Trotsky is a traitor to the cause of GCISM, he is definitely not stupid. It is impossible to deceive Hitler and Comrade Chancellor with such a trick that no fool will ever fall for, so there must be an ulterior trick behind the Soviet Union's signal of peace! ”

That's what the Qu revolutionaries originally thought. Chang Ruiqing nodded with satisfaction and said gently: "Comrade Qiubai, of course we can't guess Trotsky's tricks from a distance of 10,000 kilometers, so how about you be the head of the Chinese delegation to Russia, with Zhong Zhizhuo as the deputy head of the delegation, and go to Lenin's funeral together?" ”

Hear about this appointment. Qu Qiubai was silent for a while, then reacted immediately, and responded with a smile: "Okay then." I'll just go to Longtan Tiger's Den to see what kind of intrigue Trotsky is up to. ”

Chang Ruiqing nodded, and just as he wanted to say a few more words of encouragement, he heard a hurried knock on the door. Then Zhou Fohai, secretary general of the Central Committee of the Central Committee of the Chinese Communist Party, walked in quickly. "Chancellor, I have just received a call from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Chairman of the Central Executive Committee of Soviet Germany, Ernst Brown. Thälmann recently published an article in the magazine "GC International", saying that East Prussia is still a part of Germany, and the German GCD will never engage in two Germanys, let alone East Prussia, and the German GCD hopes to start negotiations with the Berlin authorities for the peaceful reunification of Germany at an appropriate time! ”

"Peaceful reunification?" The corners of Chang Ruiqing's lips showed an imperceptible wry smile, and he said softly: "It seems that Trotsky is ready to spend a little money this time." But what did he want? Can't see through, still can't see through......"

Qu Qiubai suddenly laughed a few times. He replied: "There is nothing that cannot be seen through, and if you look carefully, you will surely see through Trotsky's conspiracy!" ”

……

Trotsky probably didn't have any conspiracy, maybe there really wasn't, right?

This is Qu Qiubai's latest idea. Although when he left Nanking on April 4, 1929, he still promised Chang Ruiqing and Mao ZD that he would use his fiery eyes to see through the tricks in Trotsky's big belly. But after just a week, his mind had completely changed.

The main reason why this happened was because of what I saw and heard during the two or three days of entering the territory of the USSR.

The international train he was traveling on stopped at the station in Chita, the capital of the Soviet Far Eastern Republic. Looking out through the glass window of the train, the platform is full of ragged Soviet people in starvation!

The USSR is experiencing a Holodomor!

Seeing these people lying on the ground and dying, Qu Qiubai knew why Trotsky had suddenly released his goodwill for peace.

Qu Qiubai believed what he saw with his own eyes, because it was difficult for a person who had no worries about food and clothing to disguise himself as a person who had suffered from hunger for a long time. If you have to disguise it, it seems that it will take a long time to lose weight. You have to be so hungry and skinny, gray-faced, dying, and not even screaming, which is not something that can be done in a day or two.

Zhong Zhijie sent a spy disguised as a reporter to go down to interview him, and found out that the Russians who were dying of starvation were farmers from Chita Oblast. Since the beginning of the previous year, Chita Oblast has been hit by natural disasters, which have caused a large-scale reduction in grain production, and last year it was close to a complete harvest. So these peasants, who could not survive, had to flee and go to the western regions of the Soviet Union to beg for food.

However, the railway station is guarded by internal security personnel, who do not allow them to get on the train and go to the west, let alone ask for food. So I had to wait until I starved to death and went down to complain to Lenin or settle accounts with Lenin......

However, it seems that it is not only the Soviets who are lying on the platform waiting to die, the attendants on the train, the "blue hats" who patrol around the train station, and Qu Qiubai and Zhong Zhijie After entering the Soviet Union, every Soviet person they saw looked as if they had not eaten enough, and their body was obviously a little emaciated, without the slightest demeanor of the legendary Russian bear.

"You've seen it all the way here...... The Soviet Motherland is suffering from an unprecedented natural disaster! Since 1927, the disaster has begun, and the grain production has been reduced by at least 25%, and in 28 it has been reduced by about 20%, and in many areas where the disaster was severe, there was even a reduction of more than 50%! ”

A Soviet diplomat accompanying the Chinese delegation seemed to be an open-mouthed fellow, and while munching on the white bread specially supplied to the mission, he complained to Qu Qiubai and Zhong Zhijie: "Moreover, the imperialist blockade has aggravated the disaster, and now the food supply in the whole Soviet Union is extremely tight, and even the daily food ration of the workers who do heavy work is less than 800 grams of black bread. The newspapers also said that Comrade Trotsky had ceased to receive special supplies since April last year, and had only eaten a little water and bread every day! How can the body of the great leader stand it like this. Now that Lenin has left us, what will we do in the Soviet Union if Comrade Trotsky has any more strengths and weaknesses......"

Sent away this mouthy Soviet diplomat. Qu Qiubai asked Zhong Zhijie: "Stationmaster Zhong, what do you think?" ”

"Ah, there will be another famine in the Soviet Union." Zhong Zhijie said, looking very indifferent. He continued to eat, with sardines, cheese, sturgeon and bread, and a cup of fragrant Russian coffee. Agent Zhong Da stayed in Russia for many years and fell in love with Russian food and beautiful women. But for the suffering that the Russians are now suffering. But he did not show the slightest sympathy. "I came to Russia before the October Revolution and lived here for seven years, in my memory. The Russians are starving all the time, this is not news to everyone who is familiar with the Soviet Union, when will they be able to fill their stomachs is news! ”

"Oh my God, man. Speaking of which, those things published in the domestic newspapers are true! Is it true that the Russians have been living in dire straits all the time? ”

Zhong Zhijie is eating a piece of bread coated in caviar. Hearing this, he was stunned for a moment, he looked at Qu Qiubai through the glass lenses of his nose-clamping glasses, and whispered in a somewhat ridiculous tone: "The newspapers are all made up by Shao Piaoping's people, and the real situation is much stricter than what the newspaper says!" ”

"Could it be that this famine has continued since 1917?"

"That's not true, I remember that the famine of 1918 was more severe, and it was about the same as it is now." Zhong Zhijie put down his food and glanced out of the car window coldly. "At that time, you could see this scene at the train station in Petersburg.

There is nothing to eat in the whole city...... As a last resort. Lenin and Trotsky had no choice but to send Red Army soldiers to the countryside to grab food. ”

"What? You say grabbing food? I guess you mean the requisition, right? ”

"Oh, and it can also be said to be a requisition. Use machine guns to collect food, gather a whole village of men, women, and children, set up machine guns, and kill them if they don't hand over all the food! ”

"A whole village? Is it not just the landlords and kulaks? ”

"Listen to what you mean, do the landlords and rich peasants deserve to be killed by machine guns?"

"Well...... this" Qu Qiubai was stunned for a moment. Zhong Zhijie went on and on: "Of course, Lenin and Trotsky would not have ordered the plundering of the rations of the poor peasants, but it made no difference when the matter was done later, and the landlords and rich peasants were not invincible and inexhaustible. After killing the landlords and rich peasants, they could only rob the poor and middle peasants of their rations...... Don't talk about this, it's nothing more than a drama of the ruthless person winning the world. Lenin and Trotsky were ruthless characters, there were machine-gun food brigades in the countryside, Cheka anti-sabotage committees in the towns, political commissars and military circuit courts, and it was easier to kill a person than to crush a bed bug! Ordinary Russian workers, peasants and soldiers are dreaming of freedom and democracy no matter what they think, they don't hand over their rations, they don't go to factories and railways to do voluntary labor day and night, and they dare not charge forward on the battlefield as meat bullets, and they are even abrupt with their families. And then through the guò rationing system and the military ** to complete the complete control of the city and the countryside, with these organizational foundations, Kolchak's gang had to fight against this kind of opponent on the one hand, and on the other hand, they had to maintain the dignity of a legitimate government, and they were subject to many constraints, and of course they were not opponents. Five years ago, the Japanese Provisional Government also lost the country in this way, but fortunately, our People's Revolutionary Party was nipped in the bud, otherwise it would have ended up in the same way!

However, after such a toss of Lenin and Trotsky, Russia's industry and agriculture were damaged. Industry was a little better, after all, the Bolsheviks claimed to be the vanguard of the working class. However, the peasants were miserable, they were deprived of their clean clothes during the civil war, and then the New Economic Policy was slightly better for two years, and then the collectivization of agriculture was followed. To put it bluntly, this collectivization is to rob the peasants and workers, requisition agricultural products at low prices on a large scale, and then export them to arbitrage, and with foreign exchange, they can bring in the machinery, technology, and equipment needed for industrialization. The peasants and the countryside of the Soviet Union were, in fact, the sacrificed outcasts. As for the collective farms, there were once people in our country who were very envious, in fact, they were firmly controlled by the peasants on the land, unlike when they worked alone, they could conceal their production and underreport, and it was really not as convenient as going away to avoid donations and levies. In short, to return to the traditional Russian serfdom, uh, should I say slavery! Maybe it's worse than that, after all, slaves are the property of slave owners, and they all starve to death. The slave owners went bankrupt. And the Russian peasants are slaves of 'public ownership', who will really cherish the public property?

Therefore, the famine in the Soviet Union was bound to happen, and the countryside and the peasants were originally outcasts. The rations were all taken for foreign exchange, and naturally people would starve to death. In the past few years, the situation was a little better, and that was because of the imperialist blockade, the Soviet Union's grain could not go out, and in the past two years, more people starved to death, because the imperialist blockade of the Soviet Union was relaxed, and grain exports began to increase on a large scale from 1926. Naturally, domestic supply is tight. Of course, there are some reasons for natural disasters, but a country as big as the Soviet Union. How is it possible to suffer everywhere together? ”

After listening to this analysis, Qu Qiubai smiled and smiled, he didn't care how the Soviet Union suffered. His current visit was to find out the truth, since the Soviet Union was suffering from famine. Then Trotsky had no time to take care of him...... Since ancient times. Famine is always closely related to insurrection, rebellion, etc., and Comrade Trotsky should think carefully about how to maintain his regime!

I guess that's why Trotsky now wants to make peace with the West and with China, right? It is an eternal truth that you must first settle inside.

He smiled faintly: "In the face of such a catastrophe, Trotsky thought that he was too busy to take care of himself...... It seems that this time he really wants to ease relations with us. In this way, ten or eight years of peace will always be guaranteed, and then we should have 20 million tons of steel, and we will always be invincible. ”

When he said this, he was exchanged for a sneer from Zhong Zhijie: "Comrade Qiubai." Such a conclusion is not easy to make. Although it is probably true that the Soviet Union suffered famine, why did Trotsky let us see this? ”

Qu Qiubai was stunned. As if he didn't quite understand what Zhong Zhijie meant, the latter explained with a smile: "I believe that what we see and hear now is what Trotsky wants us to see, and in the magical land of the Soviet Union, Trotsky only needs one instruction, and we can see a thriving socialist country!" But why should he show us a Soviet Union in starvation? Did this do him any good for the world revolution? ”

Qu Qiubai shook his head and said, "Maybe the following work has not been done well?" The Far Eastern Republics, after all, were remote regions of the Soviet Union. ”

Zhong Zhijie sneered and waved his hand: "Impossible, absolutely impossible...... The Soviet GCD would never have made such a mistake in this aspect of foreign propaganda. They must have deliberately let the whole world know about the famine, Comrade Qiubai, if you don't believe it, just wait and read the newspapers of Western countries, it won't be long before they start reporting on this Soviet famine! ”

In fact, his guess was not bad at all, just as the Chinese delegation traveled to Moscow, the capital of the Soviet Union, through Siberia. All kinds of reports about the Holodomor in the Soviet Union appeared in the authoritative newspapers of Western countries.

"The latest news from the Associated Press: A rare famine of a very large scale has now swept across the entire territory of the Soviet Union!

In a recent interview with the Associated Press, Trotsky, chairman of the Council of People's Commissars of the Soviet Union, publicly admitted for the first time that the Soviet Union was experiencing a famine. Since the beginning of the previous year, all parts of the Soviet Union have generally suffered catastrophic natural disasters, and Ukraine, a traditional grain-producing area, has suffered a catastrophic drought unseen in a century, with a large-scale reduction in production and no harvest! Central Asia, Siberia and the Far East have also experienced floods and droughts of varying degrees, resulting in a significant decline in crop yields. According to the statistics of the Soviet agricultural department, in 1927 and 1928, the output of agricultural products in the USSR fell by more than 25% and 20% respectively compared with the previous year. At present, more than 50 million people in the Soviet Union are desperately short of food, and if they do not receive timely help from Western society, it is likely that tens of millions of hungry people will starve to death in this great famine......"

According to Reuters, along the railway to Moscow, governments, GCD representatives and journalists preparing to attend Lenin's funeral saw not a fabled thriving socialist power, but countless refugees struggling with hunger. Every city and station the train passed through was shrouded in famine, and in much of the countryside, spring planting, which should have been done long ago, did not begin, and even in some places where sowing was barely done, crops were not doing well. It is clear that 1929 will be quite difficult for the Soviet Union, a country that has suffered so much......"

"BBC News, Deputy Chairman of the Council of People's Commissars of the Soviet Union Pidakov said that the Soviet Party and government are trying their best to relieve the victims of the disaster and strive not to let a single victim starve to death!"

According to the Associated Press, GC International President Skryansky issued a call for proletarians around the world to raise money from the victims of the Holodomor in the Soviet Union. It is reported that there are already long queues of donors in front of the GCD in various European countries. In addition, the Supreme Consul of the Russian Provisional Government, Colonel-General Kolchak, who is in exile in Germany, appealed to all Belarusian refugees and Russian expatriates to help their compatriots who are suffering from famine within their means......"

"Associated Press Washington News, U.S. President Herbert . Clarke. Hoover said a few days ago that the US government is considering providing food aid to the Soviet Union to help the people there survive the famine. and called for private donations to help the Soviet ......"
