Far Eastern Republic, Amur Province, Skovorodino.

The sound of artillery rumbled, blowing up the position of the Northeast Army of the [China] country on the opposite side into smoke and smoke. More than a dozen Russian-style 76.2mm field guns were placed in the forward positions of the Red Army's Eastern Army, with their barrels flattened, and they were only firing fiercely at the hills guarded by the Northeast Army not far away. The gunners, all sweating profusely, took off their heavy military coats and wore only thin military uniforms soaked with sweat, loaded shells into the chambers and spat them out.

As soon as the shelling stopped, the soldiers of the Eastern Legion, led by the officer, formed a dense straggler, armed with long rifles loaded with bayonets, and shouted and charged at various positions on the outskirts of Skovorodino. And the officers and soldiers of the Northeast who are stationed there have no fighting spirit, and they often collapse as soon as they touch the 303rd Prophet vs Mentor Three Evil Paths to ask for a monthly ticket, and some simply raise their hands to surrender with white flags! Red flags were planted one after another on the captured positions, and the cheers and victorious voices of the officers and men of the Eastern Army resounded everywhere on the entire battlefield!

Unlike the other units of the Eastern Front, this Red Army, which was mainly composed of laborers and revolutionaries from the Chinese countries in Russia, was at its highest morale. On October 18, after the Eastern Front captured Chita, they were assigned to pursue the less than 100,000 people who had fled eastward.

With a force of no more than 30,000 men, it seems that it is not an easy task to pursue an enemy three times its size. However, the Northeast Army commanded by Yang Jie was just a defeated army that was like an arrow, and it had no fighting spirit at all, and the bloody battle in Chita for more than a month also made the whole army full of fear of the combat effectiveness of the Soviet Russian Red Army.

Therefore, after encountering the pursuers, these demoralized Northeast Army began to collapse and flee all the way.

Even more unfortunate was the fact that the Red Army guerrillas on the territory of the Far Eastern Republic did not stop fighting, but blocked the retreating Northeast Army along the way. As a result, the journey that could have been completed in ten days at most was almost a month, and if it weren't for the 303rd Prophet vs Mentor Three Evil Roads along the way to ask for a monthly pass and loot several towns that were controlled by Semenov's White Guards, the army would have run out of food long ago. However, the encirclement and interception of the Red Army still caused this defeated army to be attritional, and by the time they ran to Skovorodino, which was close to the border of China, their total strength was already less than 50,000 men, "Most of the rest became prisoners of the Eastern Army, or a member of the Eastern Army!"

This workers' and peasants' Red Army, composed of Chinese workers in Russia as the main force, now seems to be anxious to expand its strength, and along the way not only directly disperses the captured officers and men of the Northeast and integrates them into the troops, but also does everything possible to incorporate the armed forces of all kinds in the Far East, whether it is the Red Army guerrillas or the broken White Guards, whether they are Russians, Mongols, or Koreans. So when they surrounded Yang Jie's troops near Skovorodino, the total strength of this army was almost 80,000.

The Far Eastern Revolutionary Military Committee presided over by Zhang Guotao also acted with the Eastern Army this time, and almost overlapped with the Eastern Army Military Committee of the Eastern Army presided over by Blyuher. After the news of the defeat of the Red Army's Eastern Front came, Zhang Guotao and Ren Fuchen, members of the "China National Gang" regained their role as the actual controllers of the Eastern Army.

At this time, I saw that in front of the tent group where the two [Revolutionary] Military Committee Yan was located, the cavalry that delivered the news was going back and forth, issuing orders one after another, and also gathering information one by one, and it was busy all around.

As the actual controller of the Eastern Army, Zhang Guotao did not personally sit in the war room to direct the battle at this time. Instead, he accompanied the military council of the legion to Sibryucher, and chose a secluded tent for a quick tea and conversation.

Zhang Guotao's current situation is really a little embarrassing: "He also knows that there is now a line struggle going on at the top of the Russian GCD, and that it is the Trotsky faction that has the upper hand. However, he has always followed the line of Stalin and Lenin, although after the revisionism in China, those two did not trust himself and the Eastern Army very much, but the mark of Leninism could not be washed clean.

Originally, he and his Eastern Army had another way out, that is, to fight back to China and establish Soviet power. However, no one expected that the powerful Workers' and Peasants' Red Army would be defeated by the revisionist army, and that it would lose more than 10,000 swords in the Battle of Harigan Tusumu in Manchuria, as well as all its heavy inserts and heavy weapons. According to the information sent to him by Lenin through secret channels, the enlarged meeting of the Russian Political Bureau has decided to follow Trotsky's erroneous line and to make peace with revisionism! Therefore, it is completely useless to go back to his hometown, "I can only participate in the Russian Revolution with peace of mind."

If you want to participate in the Russian Revolution, you will be faced with the problem of taking sides. That is, the choice had to be made between defecting to the Trotskyites and continuing to follow Lenin.

If it were an ordinary person, the choice at this time would definitely be to join the Trotskyists, even if he wanted to wag his tail like a pug and beg for mercy, he would have to sharpen his head and drill into Trotsky. But Zhang Guotao is also a member of the power struggle, and he knows very well that his defection to the Trotskyists at this time is over."

Even if Trotsky were willing to accept himself, he would not be reused! It is likely that he will be directly relieved of military power, and he will be randomly assigned to an idle position, and he doesn't know when he will be removed. If that is the case, it is better to go back to China and join revisionism! There, you can barely eat in peace, and you won't be caught by some anti-terrorism committee for no reason.

However, now that he has tasted the sweetness of power, he naturally refuses to let go. Since we cannot take refuge in Trotsky, we can only do the opposite and put the treasure on Comrade Lenin."

Bet that this great teacher is a skinny camel bigger than a horse. So he sent another telegram to Lenin in the name of the Military Council of the Far Eastern Republic, declaring that he would fight revisionism to the end! The results were not surprising."

Blyukher, who was also of Lenin's faction, brought him good news today.

"Comrade Zhang Guotao, Comrade Lenin is very grateful for your loyalty and is very satisfied with the distinguished service you made in the battle to liberate the Far Eastern Republic. After consulting with the other comrades of the Political Bureau, he is ready to nominate you for the post of chairman of the Military Committee of the Far Eastern Revolution and deputy chairman of the Far Eastern Bureau, and you will also be by-elected as a member of the ZY Committee. ”

Hearing these words, Zhang Guotao sighed softly in his heart, he knew that this time he was pressing the right treasure! If he had taken refuge with Trotsky, he would have been recalled to Moscow by this time, right?

Blyukhel's words continued: "The Far Eastern Bureau and the Far Eastern Revolutionary Military Council, as well as the Eastern Front and the Eastern Army Corps, will be reorganized for some time to come. Comrade Shumyatsky will be appointed People's Commissar of the Nationalities (formerly Syalin's errand), and Comrade Frunze will be appointed as the secretary of his Far Eastern Bureau. The main forces of the Eastern Front will be transferred to the Western Front, and the Eastern Army Corps will be reorganized into the Far Eastern People's Revolutionary Army, which will be under the direct leadership of the Far Eastern Revolutionary Military Committee. The commander of the Far Eastern People's Revolutionary Army is organizationally ready to appoint me to the post. Speaking of this, Blyukher's expression became solemn: "Comrade Zhang Guotao: "In the future, you and I will have to bear the heavy responsibility of the military struggle for the Far East. Do you have any good ideas for maintaining the situation in the Far East that you would like to propose to Comrade Lenin? ”

Zhang Guotao smiled faintly: "Comrade Blyukher, this is a rather heavy burden!" Now the party's line is already the day of the Lianhua system, right? Trotsky was able to agree to my appointment as chairman of the Military Council of the Far Eastern Revolution, presumably because he wanted to use our comrades in China and China to maintain the situation in the Far East. ”

Blyukhel smiled bitterly and nodded: "There are considerations in this regard, the political bureau believes that the losses of the Japanese during this period of time are not smaller than ours, and there is also a crisis on the Korean Peninsula, they should not attack the Far Eastern Republic in the short term, so the main danger we face in the Far East is from the [China] country." ”

At this time, there was a rumbling cannon sound outside, which shook the tent where Zhang Guotao and Blyukhel were located. Shouts of killing and gunshots drifted from afar. Blücher's face showed a worried expression.

Zhang Guotao glanced at Blyukhel and said with a smile: "Comrade Vasily Konstantinovich, you don't have to worry that our annihilation of the Northeast Army of China will anger Chang Ruiqing" In fact, he wished we did this. ”

"Oh? Why? ”

Zhang Guotao stood up, walked to the large Far East map hanging in the tent, and smiled softly: "Of course, it's because of his ambition for the Far Eastern Republic!" Although he ostensibly claims that he has no claims for the Far East......"

Blyukhel frowned and thought about it: "You mean that Chang Ruiqing deliberately let the Eastern Army capture a large number of the Northeast Army of the [China] country on the battlefield?" He figured out how Guò could strengthen the Eastern Legion and make it a warlord army that seized the Far East? ”

Zhang Guotao looked at Blyukhel and showed a wry smile: "Vasily Konstantinovich, you are too good at talking...... Do you think I'm like an Eastern warlord? ”

Blyukhel shook his head with a smile: "Of course not, and the Eastern Army under the leadership of the party will never become a warlord arm." Chang Ruiqing's plot will become empty sooner or later! ”

"Of course! His plot will not succeed! Maybe I'll shoot myself in the foot in the future... We, the cadres and soldiers of the Eastern Legion, will not forget the working masses of China who have suffered under the oppression of revisionism! 、”

When he said this, Zhang Guotao's expression was extremely sincere, but he secretly thought in his heart: "Who knows how long the red flag of Soviet Russia can be fought?" Now that Lenin and Trotsky are fighting for power again, and imperialism is also the heart of the Soviet Union, maybe one day it will be time for the red flag to fall: "By that time, the Far Eastern Soviet Socialist Republic will not be justifiably independent?" Maybe it will really form a federal state with China! ”

At this moment, a report suddenly sounded outside the tent, and then a staff officer of the Eastern Army walked in and reported loudly: "Comrade commissar, the vanguard has already stormed Skovorodino!" However, the main force of the White Guards of the "Chinese" country was not found, and they seemed to have abandoned the city and fled south last night! ”

"Mr. Chairman, the most important issue now is to achieve a ceasefire between the two armies on the spot and avoid unnecessary losses!" ”

It turned out that Yue Fei, the Soviet ambassador to China, was expelled after the Sino-Russian war. However, instead of returning to China, he went to Hong Kong to stand by, and after the battle of Likha Rigantu Sumu in Manchuria, he was ordered by Trotsky to go north to replace Borodin and negotiate with Chang Ruiqing.

Incidentally, Yue Fei was also a member of the Trotskyist faction, and he was also a confidant of Trotsky, and as early as 1908 he and Trotsky set up a newspaper to promote the "Revolution".

Therefore, after receiving Trotsky's secret order, he did not dare to delay for a moment and sailed north overnight. The intention is very urgent, that is, to make peace with revisionism as much as possible. Although Trotsky gained the upper hand in the struggle for the line, "the revisionism of the Chinese countries refused to make peace, or the conditions for peace were too harsh, and there was no way to implement the line of this prophet of the revolution."

Moreover, the Trotskyites also heard rumors: "After the battle of Manchuria and the Battle of Hazhgantusumu, the two imperialist countries of Britain and France have increased their support for China, and they both hope that the revisionism of China will make persistent efforts to penetrate into the Far Eastern Republic, and it is better to raise Kolchak's White Russian Provisional Government again and fight against Moscow!" If it does, it is not a question of whether Trotsky will be able to go down the stairs!

"Oh? I now know that it turns out that you Soviet Russia still don't understand why our ** team should fight against a European power like yours at any cost? Well, I will remind you again that the cause of this war was the military invasion of Mongolia, the sacred territory of our country, by the Red Army of Soviet Russia! We, the Chinese National Defense Forces, have no choice but to go to war in order to defend our territory from being violated. Now that large swathes of northern Mongolia are still occupied by your Red Army, and our Wehrmacht has the strength to continue fighting, how can there be a ceasefire on the spot?

Do you still want to occupy our territory at such a point where the war has progressed? Chang Ruiqing retorted lightly, as if he did not take Trotsky's sincerity in the peace talks to heart.

Yue Fei's expression did not move, and he also knew that Chang Ruiqing would not be so easy to speak. However, after all, the national strength of Soviet Russia far exceeds that of China, and if this war really continues endlessly, it must be China that cannot hold on in the end! So he is quite confident in his mission.

Thinking of this, he smiled slightly, and said with a smile: "Mr. Chairman, this is just a misunderstanding, we Soviet Russia have no ambitions for your country's Mongols, and we sent troops there only to ensure the safety of the Trans-Siberian railway line in the event of a war with Japan.

Now we are ready to retreat from there, if you can stop attacking the Far Eastern Republics"

We will retreat from Mongolia in two weeks. Your Excellency can absolutely rest assured that we GCD

People have always been talkers. ”

Chang Ruiqing sneered: "Mr. Yue Fei, I don't know how much weight the words of GCD people have?" Don't forget, I myself am also a member of the GCD of China! But to you Russian GCDs, "I will wait and see, if you withdraw from Mongolia and Manchuria in two weeks, our [Chinese] We'll not attack the Far Eastern Republics, but ...... A formal armistice cannot yet be signed, only verbal promises. Like you said, we GCDs have always been talkative. ”

"Yes, you are also a GC ist" China is also a country under the leadership of the GCD, just like Soviet Russia. Isn't it possible for China and Russia, two GCD-led countries, to trust each other? ”

Russia: "It was you, the Russian GCDD, who first undermined the unity of the international movement, right?" ”

…

"Yes, but it was Stalin who carried out the wrong line who launched a polemic against your party at that time and undermined unity, and now he has been removed from his post as a member of the Political Bureau" was recalled to Moscow to reflect on his mistakes. ”

Chang Ruiqing also changed his sitting posture, and his face softened: "I also heard about this matter."

However, I have also noticed that your Russian GCD and GC International have not stopped attacking our GCD in China. ”

"Goodness" is not an attack, just a well-intentioned criticism. Comrade Trotsky supports the economic line now adopted by China and G, and he believes that your economic line is the correct line in line with the national conditions of China, but he does have a different view on the political line of the multiparty system that you have adopted.

I think you've already learned our position from the commentators' articles published in Pravda during this time, right? Comrade Trotsky and Comrade Lenin "actually hope that the China and G under your leadership will be able to master the country, and that you yourself should become the great leader of the China and the G!" ”

Pravda, the organ of the newspaper in Russia, has stopped attacking China's revisionist economic line and is taking the capitalist road. However, the line of GCDD's insistence on cooperating with the Kuomintang and allowing other bourgeois parties to carry out their activities as opposition parties is still characterized as an evil way! However, instead of calling on the members of the Central G Party to rise up against the evil path of the multi-party system", he called for the Central G

The leadership could wake up in time to implement the Bolshevik dictatorship in China.

The idea of these internationalist fighters is a bit outlandish! Chang Ruiqing smiled helplessly in his heart. After considering his words, he said slowly: "The Second National Congress of our Party has fully discussed the issue of multiple party systems...... The reason is also very clear: We in China GCDD must always adhere to the stand of representing the fundamental interests of the working class and the peasant class, and the multi-party system is the guarantee that our party will be able to represent the interests of workers and peasants in the coming decades or even hundreds of years. Comrade Yue Fei, I think you can understand what I mean, right? "Baidu search, no pop-up window, provide txt download of this book.

Yue Fei shook his head with some distress: "Actually, I don't understand why you think that allowing the bourgeois parties to exist and compete with the GCD is a guarantee that the GCD represents the interests of the workers and peasants...... In my opinion, contrary to you, it is in the fundamental interests of the workers and peasants to abolish the bourgeoisie and the landlord class, to seize their means of production, and to eliminate the cutting and cutting. At this point, he changed his words: "It is not my mission to come to Beijing to discuss this issue with you, but Comrade Trotsky would like to discuss the question of the multiparty system with you personally, and he is now on his way to Chita." If you would like to meet him, he would be more than willing to come to Manchuria. Secretly, of course. ”！！！
