"These Italians are really wasteful," Chang Ruiqing couldn't help but complain: "The army of 100,000 people will be finished in one day, even 100,000 pigs will be caught by Lao Maozi, and they will not be caught in a day!" ”

Although Chang Ruiqing had long known that the Noodle Army was a waste of firewood, he was still a little surprised by this kind of waste. Moreover, the rapid collapse of the Noodle Army also made the momentum of the world revolution stronger, not only the oppressed nations of Asia, Africa and Latin America are gearing up to prepare for revolution, but even China, which was originally quite stable, is also slightly unstable, although it will not affect Chang Ruiqing's rule, but if the situation continues to deteriorate, next year's election may be a little nerve-wracking.

"The British gave the Kingdom of Iraq a completely independent status, and the Faisal dynasty must be stabilized first, but there can be no more Reza. Khan, otherwise the situation in the Persian Gulf will be completely eroded. With the support of the Faisal dynasty, the coalition forces were able to concentrate their forces to defend the Shatt al-Arab line. Chief of the General Staff Zhao Zhen's voice was a little hoarse, and it seemed that he hadn't slept well for a few days for the sake of the Persian Gulf.

Although it is tens of thousands of kilometers away from the battlefield, everyone present can still smell the dangerous atmosphere on the battlefield in the Persian Gulf, with the current strength of the coalition forces, let alone attacking Persia, it is unlikely that even if it is to defend the whole of Iraq, the only way is to concentrate forces for key defense.

Chang Ruiqing's brows were also tightly wrinkled, he was not worried that the situation in the Middle East and India would be completely eroded. If something like that really happens, the world hegemon of the British Empire can only bow down and step down, but who will come to power next as the hegemon? Could it be the USSR? Can China, France, Germany agree? Can the United States agree? The answer is obviously self-evident. Now it is Britain that dominates the world, so the United States is vigorously dismantling the British Empire. is still eye-to-eye with the Soviet Union, but Britain really wants to let the Soviet Union bow down, and the United States promises to throw away the mask of isolationism at the first moment. Jump out to take over the class of the British Empire and lead the entire capitalist camp to encircle and suppress the Soviet Union! With the current strength of the USSR, how can it withstand it? However, with Trotsky's grasp of the world revolution, he would never have made such a low-level mistake. The choice of this revolutionary prophet should have been to frighten the British Empire and then force Britain to reconcile with the Soviet Union on the most favorable terms, in order to temporarily preserve their world empire.

So the USSR would definitely not have crossed the Shatt! Maybe now the special envoys of Britain and the Soviet Union have secretly met in a neutral country, and this time Chang Ruiqing guessed correctly, British Foreign Secretary Neville Chamberlain is negotiating with the People's Commissar for Foreign Affairs of the Soviet Union in Helsinki, the capital of Finland, at this time!

"You don't have to worry about Persia. The British will definitely have a solution. Chang Ruiqing pondered: "In the next step, Britain and the Soviet Union are likely to compromise, and the blockade of the Soviet Union by the great powers may also be broken!" ”

Jin Yongyan looked at Chang Ruiqing: "Yaoru, will Britain raise tigers for the sake of immediate interests?" ”

Chang Ruiqing thought for a moment and nodded, "It's a tiger raiser." But this tiger will not bite Britain first! The first to be unlucky was definitely Germany...... This is a great opportunity for us! ”

After finishing speaking, Chang Ruiqing's tone changed and became relaxed: "Once Britain and the Soviet Union reconcile, the pressure on Germany will immediately increase. Hindenburg and Hitler needed us all the more to help contain the Soviet behemoth. We can further request technical and economic cooperation, and I believe that a special envoy from Germany will soon come to our door to discuss strengthening cooperation. ”

"Since the Persian Gulf is not in trouble, do we need to increase our troops?" Lan Tianwei, deputy chief of the General Staff, said: "At present, domestic public opinion is generally opposed to our military operations in the Persian Gulf, and Jiang Jshi also put forward a motion at the Kuomintang Central Executive Committee meeting to withdraw from the coalition government to protest against our sending troops to the Persian Gulf!" ”

After the Sino-Japanese War, China's political pattern has quietly changed, and the original situation of the alliance between the left wing of the Kuomintang and the left wing of the GCD has changed. It was as if he had become an opposition leader. This time, he put forward such a motion at a meeting of the Central Executive Committee of the Kuomintang, most likely in preparation for splitting the Kuomintang!

"What are the opinions of the Kuomintang bigwigs?" Chang Ruiqing asked in a low voice.

"I don't think so. Some people advocate staying in the coalition government and sharing power, but there are also many who advocate quitting the coalition government and becoming an opposition party, and then go all out to prepare for the 14-year general election of the Republic of China. Lan Tianwei himself is also a member of the Central Executive Committee of the Kuomintang, and he also participated in this meeting of the Central Executive Committee, and he certainly belongs to the category of people who oppose the withdrawal of the Kuomintang from the coalition government.

Chang Ruiqing thought for a moment and then nodded and said: "Jiang Jishi's move is still right, only if you dare to become an opposition party, it is possible to become the ruling party in the future!" ”

And in the city of Nanjing, Jiang Jishi was saying the same thing to Hu Hanmin in a very solemn tone: "Zhan Gong, if we Kuomintang want to avoid becoming a vassal of Chang Ruiqing and GCD, we must have the courage to withdraw from the coalition government!" Otherwise, the Kuomintang will become their echo worm, and the people do not need a Kuomintang that can only sing praises to them. Such a Kuomintang will not have any future, nor will it have many votes, and sooner or later it will be reduced to an insignificant small party, and I am afraid that we will not be able to become vassals if we want to at that time. ”

"But Mrs. Sun is very satisfied with their current position of power, and I am afraid that they will not be willing to quit the government." Hu Hanmin understood that the question raised by Jiang Jshi this time was indeed for the sake of the future development and future of the Kuomintang.

As a political party, the KMT must have a different position from GCD, otherwise the KMT will not have its own base in the future election campaign and will not be able to gain a long-term foothold in Chinese politics. In other words, if the KMT is now nostalgic for the position of power given by Chang Ruiqing, then sooner or later they will become a vase for Chang Ruiqing and GCD, on the contrary, the KMT, which has become an opposition party, can win the support of a considerable number of voters because of its political line that is contrary to Chang Ruiqing and GCD, and even if it cannot seize power, it can be regarded as gaining a firm foothold in Chinese politics.

"If Mrs. Sun and the others insist on cooperating with Chang Ruiqing, then our Kuomintang will split up!" Jiang J Shi took a deep breath. threw out their own way. He said: "We can't just see this bit of power in front of us, we have to look to the future!" Chang Ruiqing and GCD cannot be in power forever, as long as they follow the path of democratic government...... We, the Kuomintang, will be elected one day. Even if Zhan Gong and I can't see that day, we must lay a good foundation for that day now! ”

Hu Hanmin sighed lightly: "J Shi, I know what you mean, but Mrs. Sun and Sun Gongzi still have to fight for it." Speaking of this, he suddenly looked around and found that there was no one else, so he lowered his voice and said, "J stone." Do you think it is possible for us to cooperate with the People's Revolutionary Party? ”

"Zhan Gong, do you mean to unite with Russia?" Jiang Jishi remained silent, just asked lightly. "Could it be that the Russian envoy has asked Zhan Gong?"

Hu Hanmin shook his head lightly. He nodded slightly, and his eyebrows were tightened. "It is impossible to unite with Russia, the current situation is a dead end to fight a civil war, and the Russians also have ill intentions...... But it's also an opposition force. We are not without room for cooperation with the People's Revolutionary Party. ”

Hu Hanmin's remarks were very vague. However, Lao Chiang still heard a certain reputation, this empty chairman of the Nationalist Government is obviously very GC International or the people of the People's Revolutionary Party secretly have some contacts, and it is unknown how Hu Hanmin intends to use this People's Revolutionary Party?

……

At the same time that China's two major political forces are beginning to realize that the People's Revolutionary Party, a Trotskyist party, is going to somehow become a new force in Chinese politics. These Trotskyist fighters, who had secretly infiltrated the mountainous town of Jinping in northwestern China's Gansu province, were also in full swing with their calculations.

In the night, the two of them rode in a tattered two-wheeled carriage and quietly came to the big courtyard where Ren Fucheng and them were. All the way to a hall in the deepest part of the courtyard. Lifting the door curtain, I saw Ren Fucheng sitting there. He was studying a copy of Trotsky's Selected Works.

Someone walked in, both young men in their twenties. One of them was a tall, thin foreigner with a large nose and a black, wood-framed snect. Beside the foreigner was a Chinese with a medium stature and a beautiful appearance, who was Lu Chen, the county prince of Jintang County.

"Comrade Braun, I finally looked forward to you, how are you doing along the way?" Seeing the foreigner, Ren Fucheng put down the book and excitedly greeted him and shook hands with him. This man's name is Otto. Braun, a member of the German GCD Party, was originally a cadre of the GC International, but now he is a military adviser sent by the new GC International to the People's Revolutionary Party. Ren Fucheng knew him when he was in the Soviet Union, but Ren Fucheng's status was much higher than Braun's at that time, and now Braun has become the emperor on Ren Fucheng's head.

Braun didn't put on a show of the emperor's score, shook hands with Ren Fucheng and hugged again, and said in fluent Russian: "Comrade Ren, have you made all your preparations?" The international demands that you launch an uprising by the end of October, and it is already November. ”

Ren Fucheng and Lu Shen glanced at each other, both showing a trace of helplessness. Lu Shen smiled reluctantly and replied in Russian: "Comrade Braun, it's not that we are unwilling to revolt in October, but that the Nationalist Government transferred two armies into Sanjiang in succession in October, both passing through the Hexi Corridor, getting off the train at Jiayu Pass, and then walking to Hami in Northern Xinjiang Province...... If they don't go far, how dare we revolt? ”

Braun did not show any reproachful expression, but smiled and nodded: "You have done the right thing, Comrade Blyukhel has explained that in carrying out revolutionary work in China, we must give full consideration to the national conditions of the unprecedented strength of China's reactionary forces, and we must not act arbitrarily. ”

Ren Fucheng and Lu Shen both nodded silently and didn't say anything more. Braun still smiled: "Comrades, weapons and ammunition have been prepared for the comrades of the Chinese People's Revolutionary Party, and all seven hundred and forty-two internationalist fighters have arrived in the camp in the mountains of Baoerwula. ”

Lu Shen snorted, and his voice trembled a little to speak: "Comrade Braun, of course it is foolproof to launch an uprising in Jinta, I am now the magistrate of Jinta County, and the police and militia in the county are under my command...... However, the Golden Pagoda is very close to Jiayuguan, there is also a security regiment there, and the Lanjiang Railway has also been repaired to Jiayuguan, and the brigade of the reactionary army should arrive soon, and the Jinta base area will definitely not be able to hold it at that time......"

He spoke. Ren Fucheng glared at him: "For the defense of the Soviet Union, for the cause of the liberation of the Chinese people, even if we sacrifice, it is worth it!" ”

Braun smiled and waved his hand. interrupted the conversation between the two Chinese Trotskyists. Trotsky and Skryansky never expected the uprising of the People's Revolutionary Party to overthrow the reactionary rule of revisionism in China. However, they still insisted on asking the People's Revolutionary Party to launch an armed uprising, and they must have had an elaborate arrangement that they could not have imagined.

"Comrade Ren and Lu, it is very good that you can have such an awareness, the world revolution is a whole, the victory of the Soviet Union is the victory of the Chinese revolution, our struggle in Jinta County is also an important part of the world revolution, and Comrade Trotsky has already made a comprehensive plan. We only need to waive the banner of revolution at Jinta and do our utmost to mobilize the peasants to join the struggle, and we will certainly be able to deal the heaviest blow to the reactionary government in China! That's right. How is our mass base in Quinta County? Will the peasants of Quinta be willing to go with us? ”

"Comrade Braun, Jinta County is the old base area of the Central G, and the consciousness of the peasants is very high." As soon as these words came out, Lu Shen felt that something was wrong. It's not a GCD revolution now. It's the Trotskyists who make GCD's anti! He raised his eyes and looked at Braun, and found that the other party's expression was calm, so he sighed lightly, and then continued: "When Mao Zd came to Hexi with the Northwest Frontier Army, he was still ready to do a revolutionary cause. All the counties in Hexi carried out an agrarian revolution, fighting local tyrants, dividing land, and distributing floating wealth, and also dealt a blow to the reactionary imams who ruled the Hui people in Hexi. ”

Speaking of which. The young GCD county magistrate showed a yearning and regretful expression on his face, and sighed again: "It would be nice if Mao ZD could lead us to continue like this." It's a pity that he later went to Nanjing and became the chairman of the party...... The revolutionary form here in Hexi is gradually declining. Later, Zhou Elai was in charge of the Northwest Military and Political Commission, although the Hexi Corridor was still under the jurisdiction of the Northwest Military and Political Commission, but Zhou Elai's mind was not in Hexi, but in the development of foreign frontiers, and he only knew about immigrating to the Ili River. And as long as the Han people don't want the Hui people, most of the Han people in the Hexi area went to the outer frontier, and it has now become the world of the Hui people, but their lives are more difficult than before. ”

"Why?" Braun asked, puzzled. "As soon as the Hermes-Epitek leaves, the population of Hexi should be reduced a lot, the per capita arable land should be increased, and life should be improved."

Lu Shen smiled bitterly: "Things are not so simple, what is reduced is not only the mouth for eating, but also the hands and feet that can work!" Moreover, it was not only the peasants in Hexi who were relocated, but also most of the urban residents in the Hexi Corridor, and the Military and Political Commission followed the example of the Soviet Union and implemented public management of industry and commerce in the cities and towns of Hexi, and also banned many improper industries, such as casinos, brothels, tobacco houses, pawnshops, money houses, etc., and the GC doctrine in Xinjiang also made the merchants who entered and exited Xinjiang through the Guò Hexi Corridor almost extinct (all trade between Xinjiang and the mainland was public)...... Alas, now the commercial tax in Hexi counties can not collect a few dollars at all, and all the expenses can only be pressed on the agricultural tax, so the agricultural tax standards of the counties in Hexi are heavily and strictly levied, in addition to the normal agricultural tax, there are all kinds of apportionment and public debt, to be honest, the life of the peasants here is really bitter to the extreme, they have long been looking forward to someone to take them to make a scene! ”

(Note: The current agricultural tax of the Republic of China is not levied according to the actual annual yield per mu, but the average annual yield per mu of different grades of land is estimated by each province according to the actual situation, and then the agricultural tax is levied on this standard.) Therefore, the local authorities have a great deal of autonomy, and often the areas with developed industry and commerce and sufficient tax sources will deliberately lower the collection standards of agricultural taxes to benefit the peasants, while the areas with underdeveloped industry and commerce have to collect taxes heavily and strictly because the financial resources are too small. ）

"Reactionary, so reactionary!" Ren Fucheng was so angry that he slapped the table and stood up, with an angry face. "Comrade Lu Shen, since the people of Hexi have long been looking forward to someone to liberate them, then what are we waiting for? Why don't we raise the banner of the revolution tomorrow! ”

Lu Shen nodded, his expression solemn: "It's no problem to make a scene, the people of Hexi are suffering, and the folk customs have always been fierce, if it wasn't for the strong suppression of China G over the years, I'm afraid it would have been chaotic a long time ago." Now is the time to collect the autumn tax again, and the contradictions between the government and the people are particularly prominent, as long as we shout the slogan of exempting the one-qiē exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and then open the warehouse to release grain, and distribute the grain in the treasury of Jinta County to the people, we will certainly cause trouble. However, it is difficult to say how many people will join our People's Revolutionary Army after the trouble, and the residents of Jinta are mainly Muslims after all......"

"It's okay!" Braun waved his hand vigorously and said, "As long as we can make trouble, the task given to us by GC International will be completed, and it doesn't matter how many people can follow in the end!" After the victory of the uprising, the revolutionary ranks had to immediately move north to attack Kobdo in western Mongolia and establish a revolutionary base there! (To be continued.) )
