Expand! Prepare for battle! Confrontation!

With the arrival of the spring of 1931, several military powers in Europe and Asia, the Soviet Union, Japan, Poland, Germany, China, Great Britain, France, almost simultaneously came out with such news. Chang Ruiqing used the foreign exchange accumulated over the years in his hands, as well as the capital of Jews, to frantically purchase machinery and equipment from the United States and Europe, and forcibly raised the level of China's heavy industry by pulling out seedlings to help them grow. The four countries in the capitalist camp and the socialist camp on the front line have all started a frantic war of arms expansion.

China began the first phase of military mobilization, announcing that it would reduce the size of its army to 300 to 3.5 million by the end of 1932!

German President Hindenburg also signed an order for a new round of military mobilization, preparing to expand the army to 200 divisions by the end of 1932!

Britain sends more troops to the Persian Gulf, British Malaya and India!

France has also announced that it will speed up the second line of defense plan!

Although the Soviet Union and Poland were calm on the surface, news of the expansion of the army and the construction of defense fortifications came from time to time through the cracks in the Iron Curtain!

Even the Italian leader, who had been a shrunken turtle for several years after the Persian War, used a rare high-profile announcement in recent years to snub his "invincible" Italian army.

As for Soviet Japan, which had been holding a white rabbit with its tail between its legs for several years, it was one of the most fanged and clawed of all the countries that began to prepare for war. The first openly announced the introduction of a general mobilization of the whole country, moving the entire country from a system of peace to a system of war.

Airplanes, warships, artillery, firearms, ammunition, food, fuel, uniforms...... Japan's industrial and agricultural production capacity was brought to the extreme, all the factories were working overtime, machines were working day and night, and Japanese newspapers and broadcasts were filled with all sorts of articles encouraging fighting. The country of more than 60 million people seemed to be transformed into a barracks overnight, with rousing revolutionary songs and Takeda Heng's supreme instructions being played over and over again from loudspeakers erected in the streets of Japanese cities.

At this moment, Takeda Hiroshi himself took time out of his busy schedule and went to Kure Port in Hiroshima Prefecture to participate in the launching ceremony of the Japanese Navy's battle cruiser "Akagi".

In fact, the battlecruiser "Akagi" was launched as early as the beginning of 1930. Now the outfitting is officially completed. However, in order to allow representatives of friendly countries to attend the celebration of the 7th anniversary of the founding of the Japanese Soviet Socialist Republic, the battle cruiser with a standard displacement of 41,250 tons was once again placed in the No. 1 deep-water dock of the Kure Port Naval Shipyard.

As the sluice slowly opened, the clear water poured in, slowly lifting the battleship, which was as large as a mountain, and the stern of the "Akagi" was already tied to several arm-thick wire ropes, and the other end was connected to two tugboats - this time the "Akagi" was launched from the dock instead of the slipway. Therefore, there is no spectacular scene of the giant ship sliding into the sea, and the battleship can only be dragged out of the dock by tugboat.

However, the "Akagi" itself is spectacular enough, with a total of five twin 410 mm and 45 times diameter armored turrets in front and rear already in place, tall bridges, masts, and chimneys have also been erected, and the interior of the cabin, secondary guns, and anti-aircraft guns have been outfitted. After the completion of the three-month sea trials, the warship will be delivered to the Japanese Combined Fleet. And become the new flagship of the fleet!

However, what attracted the attention of the "friendly people" who came to visit the site the most was not the "Akagi" battlecruiser, which had just been revealed, but the two outfitting battleships floating on the Kure Harbor Naval Pier -- these two battleships were almost as large as the "Akagi" and also had five twin 410 mm 45 times the diameter armored turrets.

Japan even has two capital ships under construction, which have never been made public!

The appearance of these two big guys immediately stunned the naval attachés of the British and American embassies in Japan who had come to visit the launch of the "Akagi," and they took out their portable cameras and took pictures of the three capital ships for a long time, as if they were eager to take a ruler and take a good measurement.

Eisuke Yamamoto, commander of the Red Navy's Combined Fleet, poked Yamamoto Fifty-six beside him with his fingers with some dissatisfaction, and said in a low voice, "Yamamoto-kun." What is this? 'Akagi', 'Kaga', and 'Tosa' could have been used as surprise soldiers, but now they've all been exposed. ”

Yamamoto Isoroku also had a very dissatisfied expression, these three capital ships are the killer weapon of the Japanese Navy, how can they allow the imperialist enemy to observe and take pictures at close range? He snorted: "Isn't it to show the great achievements of Japan's socialist construction? It's a pity that these three really useful capital ships have been built, and if there are a few more, the navy will really be able to restore its former majesty! ”

"Huh...... Aren't there still aircraft carriers? Yamamoto-kun, you have always been an aircraft carrier faction, and two years ago you opposed the resumption of the construction of these three capital ships. ”

"What's the use of having an aircraft carrier without an aircraft?" Yamamoto fifty-six stomped his foot. Gritted his teeth and said: "It's crazy to go to war if you don't have anything ready!"

Although during the course of the Japanese Revolution, nearly one-third of Japan's engineers and skilled workers were exiled to China. However, the foundation of Japan's shipbuilding industry is still there, and after the start of the first and second four-year plans, it focused on investing in the development of the shipbuilding industry, so the shipbuilding of Soviet Japan in this time and space was not much worse than in the same period in history. There is also a clear lead in the construction of aircraft carriers. But the development of the Japanese aviation industry was miserable. As a result of the joint operation with the Soviet Union, the Japanese Red Army was mindful of relying on Big Brother. Therefore, no great efforts were spent, and as a result, the I-5 fighter designed by the Soviet Union was simply rubbish. Although the updated I-15 absorbed advanced technology from the United States, it was basically rubbish compared to the German Fokker D.21. Therefore, now Japan's aircraft carrier fleet has an embarrassing situation of having ships but no aircraft! Therefore, Yamamoto 56, the aircraft carrier faction, simply started building the "Kaga" class battleships in the second half of last year......

However, neither Eisuke Yamamoto nor Takeda agreed. Because they knew that the construction period of battleships was too long, at least three or four years, and the world revolution was imminent, so it was too late to build. I had to build some heavy cruisers, light cruisers, and destroyers to support the scene. At the same time, it also ordered the Navy to develop carrier-based fighters on the basis of the I-15, and also ordered the Japanese NKVD to acquire the most advanced aviation technology of Western countries at any cost.

But the problem is that the world war, which was originally thought to break out after 1934, will now start in 1932, and the Japanese Navy will not have time to prepare for it!

Just when the family members of the two combined fleets sighed and didn't know how to be good. Takeda Hiromasa, who single-handedly planned the launching ceremony, was in the officer's room of the battlecruiser "Akagi". Together with Blyukhel, who had secretly come to Japan to convey Trotsky's supreme instructions, he watched the lively scene in Kure Gungang and held a profound conversation at the same time.

"Comrade Takeda, I didn't expect to see you here, I thought you were presiding over the launching ceremony on the dock."

Hearing Blyukhel's words, Takeda Heng glanced at him triumphantly, and a look of complacency and intelligence appeared on his smiling face. "Haha, actually. There's really a Takeda Heng there. ”

"It's a clever deception, Comrade Takeda, is someone pretending to be you?"

"Exactly! Comrade Blyukhel, that's a tailor, someone from the NKVD brought it to me, and I think Comrade Trotsky has a stand-in, right?" Takeda Heng pointed to Yasuo Yasuda, who was sitting next to him. "It is really very convenient to have such a comrade working by his side, and I am really reluctant to let him work in the Soviet Union."

"That's what the world revolution needs." Blyukhel frowned. "The establishment of the International Proletarian Command and the unified command of the world revolution are necessary means for us to liberate all mankind, and I think Comrade Takeda should know the significance of this matter."

"Of course, this is a wise decision of Comrade Trotsky, and I fully support it." Takeda Heng took a sip of the tea on the table. His face turned stern. "The proletariat needs a commander-in-chief, but ...... The commander-in-chief of the proletariat must understand the situation in Japan, and only then can he give the correct orders to the Japanese proletariat. That's why I sent Comrade Yasuda to Moscow as the chief representative of the Great Japanese Red Army at the International Proletarian Command. Comrade Yasuda, you must promptly and accurately report to Comrade Trotsky the situation in Japan and the situation in the East Asian and South Seas theaters. ”

"The subordinate guarantees to complete your instructions." Yasuda stood up and bowed respectfully to Takeda. Although Takeda relinquished his position as NKVD, Yasuda did not dare to show the slightest dissatisfaction. Don't dare to have any serious intentions. After all, the strength of the Japanese NKVD is far inferior to that of the NKVD of the Soviet Union, and although Japan is flying the red flag of GCD, the power of this country is actually shared by the GCD and the Japanese army and navy, and the Japanese and the Japanese have also adopted a policy of softness towards the "counter-revolutionary samurai class", and Japan's "blue hat" cannot cover the sky with one hand. This is also the main reason why Takeda dared to use Yasuda with confidence after barely holding the post of NKVD.

"Comrade Trotsky also hoped that Comrade Takeda would be appointed deputy commander-in-chief of the International Proletarian Command." Blyukhel glanced at Takeda and saw a wary expression on the other party's face. He continued: "Of course, Comrade Takeda is also responsible for leading the two major battlefields in East Asia and South Asia, so there is no need to go to Moscow to take up his post."

"Okay, let's let Comrade Yasuda be my agent." Takeda laughed.

Blyukhel frowned again. After thinking for a while, he said to Takeda Heng with a solemn face: "Comrade Takeda, I don't think you may understand the significance of this international proletarian command. This command is not the headquarters of the coalition forces in the simple sense of the word, but the supreme command of the international proletarian armed forces, and Comrade Trotsky is the supreme commander of the proletarian armed forces of the whole world! ”

Takeda Heng nodded with a smile: "I know that Comrade Trotsky is the great leader of the world revolution and the supreme commander of the international proletariat, and this is a universally recognized fact."

But Yasuo Yasuda, who was sitting next to him, changed his face slightly, as if he had thought of something, and hurriedly leaned into Takeda's ear and whispered: "Takeda-kun, after the victory of the world revolution, the country is probably going to die......"

The death of the state? Takeda Heng was stunned for a moment, and then he remembered that there seems to be such a thing in the cosmic truth of Marxism! Marx seems to say that the state is a product of class society, and its purpose is to protect the private property of a small number of people, to safeguard the position of the ruling class, and to inculcate an ideology that is in line with the interests of the ruling class. If the world revolution is victorious, private property will also be abolished - even if there will be some remnants for the time being, but the general trend is to be eliminated. At that time, there will be no more classes, and naturally there will be no need for "countries" to safeguard the security and interests of a region or nation. The whole world will come together on this basis......

Thinking of this, Takeda Heng frowned and asked thoughtfully: "Comrade Blyukhel, I would like to ask what Comrade Trotsky's arrangements are for the victory of the world revolution?"

"Of course, it is to realize GCISM and liberate all mankind, otherwise what else can it do? We can't build a new world colonial system dominated by the Soviet Union, Japan, and Poland, as imperialism did, right?"

"So will the state still have zài?" Takeda asked bluntly.

"I'll save zài for a while." Blyukhel smiled: "Comrade Takeda, as a GC fighter, you should know that the state is bound to die, and when the world revolution is victorious and all mankind is liberated, it will be the beginning of the country's demise. It's hard to say how long this process will last, but I'm sure it won't be long. At our age, we should be able to see the day when the country will die. And the first step in the demise of the state, in Trotsky's opinion, should be the merger of the GCD of the countries and the individual proletarian armies. In other words, there will be no Soviet GCD, Japanese GCD, Polish GCD, or any other GCD in the future. There is only one GC International! There will be no more Soviet, Japanese and Polish Red Armies, only armed forces under the command of an international proletariat. ”

"Comrade Takeda!" Blyukher leaned forward, propped his elbows on his knees, put his hands together, and said as sincerely as possible: "The International Proletarian Command is now the supreme command organ of the world revolution and will be the supreme command organ of the proletarian armies of the whole world!" And you are the second leader of the international proletarian armed forces, and the future supreme commander-in-chief - this is what Comrade Trotsky has entrusted me to convey to you. ”

The Supreme Commander of the Proletarian Armies of the Whole World!?

Takeda's head went blank, and he really didn't know what to say to this super big pie. Although he was Trotsky holding himself on to the stage. I haven't experienced too many cruel intra-party struggles, but I have never eaten pork and always seen pigs run. The bloody storm in the Soviet GCD is no stranger to him, this second boss of the international proletarian command is not easy to be, the slightest carelessness is the head of the head, where is the life of being lonely in the south now? Moreover, it is no secret that Trotsky was preparing to pass on the throne to his son and engage in the affairs of the Trotsky dynasty in the upper echelons of the international communist movement. I'm afraid that the deputy commander is only the one who kills the head, and has no life to succeed......

Yasuo Yasuda has been carefully observing Takeda's face with the corner of his eyes, although Takeda, who has been in the top position for a long time, has long practiced the "iron skin" that is invisible. However, Yasuda's skill in observing words and emotions is not covered, even the slightest change in Takeda's face cannot escape his eyes, and he can also analyze Takeda's mind from it.

After knowing that Takeda didn't want to be this deputy commander. Yasuo Yasuda smiled slightly, breaking the oppressive silence in the officer's room. "Comrade Blyukhel, the situation of our Great Japanese Red Army is very special, this is a revolutionary army born out of the old Japanese imperial army, and it has not undergone a large-scale purge, and the ratio of old officers to old soldiers is still quite high, and it is difficult for them to accept such a statement as the demise of the country. If they had been forced to accept it, Japan would not have been able to take the lead in launching a world revolution in 1932......"

Hearing Yasuda's words, Takeda Heng immediately cast a grateful gaze, and a trace of guilt rose in his heart, feeling that sending Yasuda to Moscow was really a little sorry for his old friend. But Blyukhel did not change his face, as if he had long known that Takeda Heng loved Japan very much now and was reluctant to let it die. Blyukhel did not mention the disappearance of any more countries, but only smiled slightly and said: "Of course, Japan's national conditions must be taken into account, and Comrade Trotsky often mentioned that only Comrade Kim Hyung-gi of Korea knows Japan best, and that Comrade Kim Hyung-gi knows the revolution in East Asia and Nanyang best, and Comrade Kim Hyung-gi is the best person to lead the Japanese Red Army in promoting the revolution in Nanyang and East Asia."

As soon as he heard this, Takeda Heng could no longer hide the panic in his heart, his face turned pale and pale, and beads of sweat the size of beans oozed from his forehead, which kept rolling down, but he still had to squeeze out some smiles on his face. "Please Comrade Blyukherr go back and tell Comrade Trotsky that I, Kim Hyung-gi, will never fail Comrade Trotsky and the expectations of the Soviet GCD, and that I can do whatever I want Kim Hyung-gi to do, just give me an order."

Blyukhel smiled and said: "Comrade Yasuda should bring this evil to Comrade Trotsky, because I will not return to the Soviet Union for the time being, and Comrade Trotsky wants me to serve as the general adviser of the Japanese Red Army and help Comrade Takeda to lead and command the revolutionary war in Greater East Asia!"
