"Sure enough, it's still the bird of this dead friend who doesn't die and the poor way."

After Li Xiaofeng received Konev's latest battle report, he snorted contemptuously, and then threw the report aside. From his previous life to this life, he has always treated the strange group of the Scraping People's Party as a joke.

It was enough to be embarrassed enough to be driven out of the mainland in an embarrassing situation when he had the upper hand, but after escaping to the island, he even let Lee Teng-hui and the like get mixed up in the first place, and was even forced to lose face by a group of deflated greens. If you let Sun Guofu know that the descendants of the disciples are the virtues of this bird, you have to jump out of the tomb.

However, beating the Kuomintang was important to a certain immortal, but it was a small drama for the Soviet Union and the entire international political arena. After the end of the defense of Bryansk, Li Xiaofeng handed over the nominal commander and political commissar of the Front, and the commander of the Bryansk Front at this time was concurrently served by Triandafilov, but Triandafinov did not have extra energy to take care of the affairs of the Bryansk Front, and the affairs of the front were basically handed over to Rokossovsky and Lukin.

And Li Xiaofeng's focus has shifted again, and he doesn't need to worry about the domestic battle for the time being, whether it is the upcoming siege of Kiev or the Minsk counterattack in preparation, it has nothing to do with him. At this time, a certain immortal can finally do his old job.

After entering 1942, Li Xiaofeng paid special attention to the situation in Japan and the United States. Historically, the devils have attacked Pearl Harbor to the death, and the US imperialists have resolutely torn off the camouflage of neutrality and gone into battle shirtless. Famous turning battles in history textbooks, such as the Battle of Midway and the Battle of Stalingrad, all took place in this year.

It's just because of Li Xiaofeng's participation. The trajectory of history has changed dramatically. U.S. imperialism has not completely cut off the oil supply to the devils. The relationship between the two sides has not completely broken down. The natural Pearl Harbor incident would not have broken out, but the Pearl Harbor incident had not happened, and the old fox Roosevelt naturally had no way to persuade Congress to go into battle shirtless, so he could only continue to pretend to be forced.

And why the Pearl Harbor incident did not happen is not only because the US imperialists did not cut off the oil supply of the devils, but more importantly, the devils fell into the quagmire of the northeast at this time, and the Red Army was fighting hot. There were really no troops to go south.

To tell the truth, the devil regretted it very much at this time, he was instigated by Germany before, and did not declare war on the Soviet Union, and hoped to realize the long-cherished wish of swallowing Siberia, who would have thought that the polar bear was really not so easy to deal with, and it was clear that the imperial army had an advantage, but it was helpless to Blyukher.

Especially when you see it on the Western Front, when the Germans are making great strides. In contrast, the performance of the imperial army is really the same as that of a small-footed daughter-in-law. It's a shame.

In order to reverse this humiliating state, the devil increased investment in November and transferred a large number of troops from the Kannai to reinforce the Kwantung Army.

After entering 1942, the base camp was really a little unbearable, and after a month of fighting, it didn't get any cheapness, but lost a huge amount of war resources, what is going on? Even if it's a fart, you have to listen to it, right?

But there was only a smell in the northeast, and there was no exciting movement at all, and Tojo Hideki couldn't bear it anymore: "Going north has been proven to be a completely stinky move, and our imperial army's nearly one million troops have stormed for nearly half a year, not only failed to seize an inch of land, but consumed a lot of valuable resources in vain." In my opinion, it's time for this strategy to be abandoned! ”

The ruling faction has always been dissatisfied with the imperial faction's strategy of going north, especially after Nuomenkan and Zhang Gufeng were taught a bad lesson, and they thought that the Soviet Union on land was very difficult to mess with. On the contrary, the British side, which was dying by Germany, took advantage of it. How good it would be to take this opportunity to encroach on the sphere of influence of Western Europe, led by Britain and France, in Southeast Asia. For example, if it took Indonesia's vital oil fields and natural rubber, even if it was a wrestling with the United States at that time, Japan was not afraid.

So after failing to open up the situation in the Northeast this time, Hideki Tojo made it clear that he would change the established strategy, change the north to the south, and pinch the soft persimmons of the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Belgium and so on!

As soon as this suggestion was put forward, it caused great controversy, and the remnants of the Imperial Dao faction retorted: "My Kwantung Army has been entangled with Lucia's ghost beasts, how can I go south?" Once the battle to the south does not go well, and the north is attacked by Lucia's ghost animals, wouldn't it be a belly and back enemy? ”

However, Hideki Tojo was full of confidence in this, and he said a little triumphantly: "I have solved this problem, His Majesty the Emperor blesses, I have communicated with the Soviet side, and Lucia is also willing to end the armed conflict between the two countries in the northeast, after all, they want to do their best to solve the problem of independence!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the base camp of the devils became a sensation, and they did not expect that Hideki Tojo would unknowingly hook up with the Soviet Union and make real progress on the issue of ending the military conflict.

However, the remnants of the Imperial Dao faction still have something to say: "But what about the alliance that our country has reached with the independent country? Tojo-kun, are you sure this isn't Lucia's ploy to divide and break us? ”

For Hideki Tojo, the alliance with Germany is just a mutual use, and only if Germany turns Europe upside down can Japan have a chance to claim hegemony in East Asia. And now, Germany hit a nail in the nail in the USSR, failed to get the USSR as it did with France, and after a blood transfusion from the United States, Britain gritted its teeth and persevered. Since he had to entangle with the Soviet Union on the mainland and fight Britain on the sea, Hideki Tojo could not see how much more help Germany could provide to Japan.

These two heads were enough for the Germans to drink a pot, and Japan had not declared war on the USSR as agreed, and the Germans had only verbally protested?

In Hideki Tojo's view, the Germans are not worth worrying about at all, and they who have already offended the whole world have only one way to go dark. However, Japan has not yet fallen into absolute isolation diplomatically, and if it can peacefully end the armed conflict in Northeast China and end the armed confrontation with the Soviet Union. The Imperial Army could immediately draw a large number of troops to the south. It was easy to harvest a large number of colonies.

At that time, neither England, nor France, nor the Netherlands, nor Belgium, nor Germany, nor Italy, could do anything with them. After digesting the British, French, Dutch and Belgian colonies in Southeast Asia. The strength of the empire will be greatly enhanced. At that time, the empire could still sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, watching Britain and the Soviet Union fight with Germany and Italy. When these countries are almost consumed, the empire will attack decisively, and there is no possibility of dominating the world!

Hideki Tojo's plan was to first find a way to end hostilities with the Soviet Union, and then take advantage of the lack of time for Britain, France, the Netherlands, and Belgium to look eastward and seize Southeast Asia. After gaining valuable oil resources. The empire cultivates its internal strength again and prepares. Wait for Europe to almost play the results, and then go to be a yellow finch.

It should be said that Hideki Tojo's abacus is still playing well, but whether his plan can be realized or not depends on the most basic premise, that is, the attitude of the Soviet Union.

So what was the attitude of the Soviet side to this? To be honest, it is quite subtle, according to the real ideas of Trotsky, Dzerzhinsky, Sverdlov and others, devils are no different from Nazis, they are reactionary, dictatorial, and brutal fascist devils who exterminate humanity, and their anti-human and anti-communist nature is obvious to the world.

For such devils. The Bolsheviks had to fight against it and destroy it, it was both a mission and an obligation!

Yes. Neither the Trotskyists nor the Leninists had any good feelings for the fascists. I really want to cut it off immediately, especially when the Great Patriotic War broke out and the Nazis attacked the Soviet Union, the devil was still one of the accomplices, and this hatred must be counted no matter what!

However, everything is afraid of this but. But the Great Patriotic War was too difficult, although after the defense of Bryansk, the Red Army took a breath and finally stabilized its position. But the situation remains dire. At this time, if troops can be drawn from the Far East to reinforce the Western Front, it will greatly relieve the pressure.

And this has created a complex mentality of the Politburo, on the one hand, they hate devils, and on the other hand, they have to take into account the overall situation, which is really too contradictory!

"This will have a bad international repercussions, and the imperialists who hate us will use it to attack us in a big way!" Trotsky said heavily.

It seems that looking at what Trotsky meant, this is to refuse to compromise with the devil, this is to be out of the way? No, if Trotsky was such a man of fame, then he would not be worthy of the title of second teacher. For Trotsky, the Politburo and his personal reputation always had to give way to the national interests of the Soviet Union. If it is beneficial to the national interest, then he will not hesitate to carry it out.

Therefore, he immediately changed his tone and added: "However, Comrade Lenin said very well, we must grasp the main contradiction in everything, the greatest enemy of the Soviet Union at present is Nazi Germany, and only by eliminating the Nazis can we continue to exist...... At such a time, we have to make some choices against our will, and we have to temporarily compromise with some secondary enemies, which is shameful, but there is no way to do it! ”

Dzerzhinsky is the one who has the most discipline and integrity in the Politburo, and he still has doubts about this: "If the Politburo must compromise with the Japanese fascists, in addition to expressing regret, I must also remind the Politburo: How can we explain to our comrades-in-arms in the Far East who have been resisting the Japanese fascist aggression?" Just ruthlessly abandon them, abandon them in the most difficult time? If we do this, how can we carry out the revolutionary struggle in the Far East in the future? Who will trust us then? ”

Dzerzhinsky's question is quite practical and necessary. For example, on the issue of the Turkish Communist Party, which bears the brunt of the issue, you must know that the Politburo had just promised assistance to the Turkish Communist Party, and for this reason, the Turkish Communist Party shared a lot of pressure for the Soviet Union in North China under extremely difficult circumstances. And now, the Soviet Union is going to compromise with the common enemy of both sides, how can this not be explained?

The problem was so difficult that Trotsky was in the dust, for he did not know how to solve it, and after a long time he sighed: "We can only do our best to convince our comrades in China and win their understanding......

The problem is that it is useful, because the relationship of trust between people is very fragile, and once there is a rift, it is almost impossible to repair, and the rift will only get bigger and bigger, and eventually ruin the relationship between the two parties.

Sverdlov felt that he should have an opinion on the issue, arguing: "Our compromise with the Japanese fascists should be minimal, limited to a ceasefire in the northeast." However, the major issue of the Japanese fascist invasion of China was right and wrong. There can be no compromise. The revolutionary movement in China has a lot to offer in the future. It may even be the beginning of a new victory of the world proletarian revolutionary movement after the victory of the proletarian revolutionary struggle in the Soviet Union. It will be a lever to pry the old pattern of the world! ”

Yes, Xiao Si still has a good vision of China, and after studying the national conditions of China in detail, he believes that there is a lot to be done in China. Once the revolution in China is victorious, it can completely lead the whole of Asia, which is really tempting!

Actually, Trotsky also understood this truth, but the Japanese were willing to do it? To be honest, he doesn't know anything about this. Once Japan categorically refuses, then the Northeast will have to continue as before, and what is there to talk about the transfer of troops?

At this moment, Li Xiaofeng interjected: "Comrades, did we misestimate the situation? ”

This made everyone stunned, what is the wrong calculation of the situation?

Li Xiaofeng smiled and said: "What we have been thinking about is how to draw troops from the Far East, and under the current situation of Japan's aggressiveness, this seems to be impossible to achieve." If we want to make it happen, we have to make concessions to Japan. ”

Trotsky asked rhetorically: "Is there anything wrong with this judgment?" ”

"Of course not!" Li Xiaofeng replied with confidence, "The KGB has been observing and collecting intelligence on Japan. There is already a relatively clear judgment of Japan's war potential. This is a semi-industrial fascist country with a rather limited war potential. There are irreparable shortcomings in many areas. The geographical environment of the island country and the suppression of the imperialist bloc led by Britain and the United States have blocked the possibility of its continued development and growth. If its ambitions continue to swell, it will inevitably clash with Britain and the United States! ”

Trotsky asked, somewhat incomprehensibly: "What does this have to do with the subject we are discussing today?" ”

Li Xiaofeng said with a smile: "Of course it matters, Huaxia has not discovered too many oil resources for the time being, and even there are very few large-scale iron mines, and the infrastructure is backward, and Japan, the war machine, can only obtain a part of the war resources in Huaxia." The bulk of the resources are controlled by Britain and the United States, and now Britain and the United States have not completely interrupted their supply, but this does not mean that they are satisfied with Japan's expansion. It's just that Britain and the United States were attracted the lion's attention to Germany, and they, like us, wanted to deal with the most dangerous enemy first, and then clean up Japan. ”

Li Xiaofeng paused, glanced at the expressions of the Great Elders, and most people, including Trotsky, agreed with his conclusion. So he continued with confidence: "So does Japan know this? I don't think they are stupid, it should be clear that the Anglo-American tolerance is only temporary, and once Germany falls, Japan will be the next to finish. According to intelligence, Japan has been making preparations in this regard, and its imaginary enemy is directly aimed at the United States. And if Japan wants to defeat the United States, uh, or to achieve a decent result in the war against the United States, the aforementioned resource shortcomings must be filled! ”

The attention of the Great Elders was attracted by Li Xiaofeng, and they all wanted to hear what he had to say, and Li Xiaofeng did not disappoint them: "We can note that Japan is interested, or very interested, in stopping the armed conflict in Northeast China. Then I can't help but ask, if Japan really wants to cooperate with Germany in attacking us in the East, then why is it interested in ending the armed conflict in the Northeast? It doesn't make sense! ”

Trotsky also nodded: "This is a bit strange, but it cannot be ruled out that Japan wants to annex Huaxia ...... first"

Li Xiaofeng immediately denied this possibility: "Not necessarily, since 1939, the scale of Japan's military operations in the Huaxia Pass has begun to shrink, if they really want to eliminate the Kuomintang and annex Huaxia, they can continue to increase their troops and continue to pursue and fight fiercely." But in fact this did not happen, they adopted a new strategy, began to lure down and began to use both soft and hard. This fully shows that they are somewhat powerless to annex Huaxia, and they also think that the cost is too high. After all, the war resources that backward China can provide are limited, and they cannot meet the needs of Japan for an all-out war with Britain and the United States! ”

Dzerzhinsky asked: "Then what do you think Japan will do?" ”

Li Xiaofeng replied: "I think Japan really wants to wrestle with Britain and the United States, it is not enough to occupy most of China, the most precious oil resource Huaxia does not have, and in Asia, where is the largest oil field?" ”

The Great Elders all thought of Indonesia, which was the largest producer of crude oil in Asia at the time, but they didn't believe that the devil was so bold, after all, this oil field belonged to the British and Dutch......

"Were Britain and the Netherlands capable of stopping Japan's expansion in Southeast Asia at this time?" Li Xiaofeng scoffed, "Britain and the Netherlands are too busy to take care of themselves, and their presence in the Far East has been reduced to the bottom. What can Japan do to Southeast Asia if they do it? ”

Trotsky and the others looked at each other and asked: "Comrade Andrei, is there any basis for your judgment?" ”

Li Xiaofeng smiled, there was no basis for how he would say it in the Politburo, not to mention that at this time, the only position that could open up the situation in Japan, which was blocked in China, was only Southeast Asia. If the devil attacks and occupies Southeast Asia, the cost is low and the benefit is large, as for the risk, I am afraid that there is no risk in the eyes of the devil, and even Pearl Harbor dared to be bombed back then, taking advantage of the weakness of Britain, it is considered a small case to occupy Southeast Asia...... (To be continued......)
