516 Confrontation (B)
The east is not bright and the west is probably the idea given to him by Sverdlov's senior staff, how is this idea? Maybe it's better than nothing for Sverdlov.
But even if it was better than nothing, Sverdlov accepted the idea and set off for the Far East in October to "inspect". Of course, we all know that this is just a faΓ§ade, and Sverdlov's real purpose was not to inspect the situation in the Far East, but to meet with three people.
Who are these three people? The first one, it should be said that it is a group of people, and this group of people is the representative of the revolutionaries in the bad county. Among them, the most famous in later generations belongs to Jin Da Fat. Of course, Jin Da Fat back then was not at all wide and fat, and the difficult anti-Japanese war situation in the Northeast made it impossible for him to gain weight.
Why is it Kim Da Fat who is the first to see? It is not because of how much Sverdlov attaches importance to the Bad County Peninsula, but because it is the most convenient to see this golden fat in the first place. Why is it convenient? Because at this time, Jin Dapang served in the Soviet Red Army.
There may be comrades who say it's not right, didn't Jin Dapang mix with T during the Anti-Japanese War? How did you get to the Soviet Union? The reason is very simple, in 1940, with the sacrifice of General Yang Jingyu, the situation of the Anti-Japanese War in South Manchuria was quite unoptimistic.
The Third Route Army of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Allied Army was reorganized into the 88th Independent Infantry Brigade of the Far Eastern Front of the Soviet Red Army, and Jin Dapang was the brigade commander of this brigade. It's just that his rank as a brigade commander is quite pitiful, just a captain. As you can imagine, he is indeed not very valued.
In other words, the current Kim Da Pang is an officer of the Soviet Red Army, and Sverdlov is not so sensitive when he goes to the Far East to inspect and meet a Soviet Red Army officer. Of course, in fact, this is to cover your ears and steal the bell. Who Sverdlov met, whether it was Li Xiaofeng or Trotsky, it was clear, what did it mean to see Jin Da Fat, do you need to say more?
In fact, Sverdlov himself felt bored, because he had said before that in his eyes, T Gong was just like that, not to mention Jin Da Fat, who can only be the little brother of T Gong now. If it weren't for the fact that he had made a bad move before, he would never have seen such a small role.
In fact, after retiring, Sverdlov recalled the meeting and bluntly said that he was rather disappointed by the outcome of the meeting: "It seems to me that the comrades in the bad county are too weak. Not only militarily, but also politically, as a child, the only thing that caught my attention was the way they spoke......"
The exchange was friendly, but in a way it was more like an exchange between superiors and subordinates. Kim Da Fat was quite respectful and even humble to Sverdlov. At first, Sverdlov thought that this was the first time that the comrades in the East had seen him and was too excited, but after 1945, after meeting Kim Da Fat several times in succession, Sverdlov realized that he had made a mistake. Jin Dapang's humility is not because he met the legendary father of the October Revolution, nor is it because he was too excited to see his idol, but because he was flattered. Kim hopes to gain some kind of political advantage by impressing Sverdlov with his humble attitude.
Of course, this is an afterthought, and in Sverdlov's first meeting with Kim Da Fat, the exchanges between the two sides were not very deep. Also, because the two sides are actually not familiar with each other, and their status is also seriously unequal, it would be hellish if they could talk about flowers. In fact, this is just to meet and get to know everyone, leave a contact information, and make an appointment in the future.
Moreover, Sverdlov did not mean to hand over the bad county to Jin Dapang at that time, because at this time, the Soviet Union had many candidates for the bad county issue, and Jin Dapang was just one of them. In fact, Kim Da Pang can only be regarded as one of the representatives of the bad county that Sverdlov met. After meeting Kim Da Fat, he met with three other people from Bad County -- Wu Ting, Park Hyun Yong, and Kim Bae-yeon.
Maybe the first two are familiar to everyone, Wu Ting is the general of North Korea, and his personality is like fire and he is not familiar with political struggles. Park Hyun-yong was an old revolutionary in the county, and his seniority and status were much higher than Kim Il-sung. Of course, the ending of these two is not good, one is not good at political struggle and is excluded enough, while the other is not liked by the Soviet Union, and finally collapsed by Jin Dapang.
I won't say much about these two, let's talk about Jin Baiyuan, who is not very familiar with the big guy in the back, this name must be very unfamiliar to everyone, and Jin Doufeng may be familiar to everyone. As the chairman of the Badxian Independence League and the founder of the future Badxian Workers' Party, he had been engaged in the revolutionary movement in China for a long time. He also attended the Seventh National Congress of the T Communist Party and belonged to the Yan'an faction within the county.
Among the three people, Wu Ting is considered to have the lowest status, and because of his personality, the Soviet side has always had a low opinion of him, or did not like him. As for Park Hyun-yong and Kim Doo-bong, they made a deep impression on Sverdlov, because these two were similar to the revolutionaries Sverdlov was familiar with, and he was almost like this during the October Revolution.
However, Sverdlov also has doubts about Park Hyun-yong and Kim Doo-bong, Park Hyun-yong is too influential in his opinion, and he may not obediently follow his baton. And Kim Doo-bong is too inclined to the T Communist Party and is too influenced by the T Communist Party, and now who doesn't know that the backstage boss of the T Communist Party in the Soviet Union is Li Xiaofeng, naturally, this candidate Sverdlov is also not satisfied.
Anyway, after this meeting, Sverdlov was a little disappointed, and he was not optimistic about the future problem of the county, believing that it was unrealistic to rely on the strength of the communists themselves to promote the revolution in the county. At that time, he wrote emphatically in his diary: "The future of the county depends on the Soviet Union and China, and without the support of the Soviet Union and China, the revolutionaries in the county may not be able to stand." β
As mentioned earlier, Sverdlov came to the Far East to meet with a total of three people, and the first representative of the bad county was finished. Who is the second?
The second is also famous, which is Nguyen Patriot, also known as Ho Chi Minh. As the leader of the Communist Party of Indochina, Ho Chi Minh has not had good luck in the last year or two. In August 1942, he was arrested by Chiang and imprisoned for 13 months, almost dying. After finally getting out, this time it took a lot of effort to arrive in Vladivostok and meet with Sverdlov.
In fact, Sverdlov was even more pessimistic about the revolutionary situation in Indochina, that is, Vietnam, and the problem of Bad County was easier to deal with, after all, Bad County was a Japanese colony, and it was inevitable to kill Japan at present. If Japan falls, its sphere of influence will definitely be redivided, and with the influence of the Soviet Union, there must be a territory in the county, and it is too difficult to make a revolution in this self-reserved land and fail. For Sverdlov, there were two key questions left unresolved: first, how much land could the Soviet Union seize on the Badxian Peninsula, and second, who would be in his interest to lead the land.
And things in Vietnam are quite complicated, first of all, Vietnam is a French colony. And France's current position in the international arena is very mysterious. You say he's the victorious power, but where are you going to put that thing in Vichy France? But if you want to say that he is not a victorious country, how are you going to deal with de Gaulle and Girard.
Anyway, the political status of France is very difficult to say, but one thing is certain, France must not be treated in the same way as Japan, Germany, and Italy, and it is probably unrealistic to cut the flesh from France.
As a French territory, the Vietnamese revolution must be handled with great caution, because it will affect the relations between the Soviet Union and France. Sverdlov had already hit a big nail in the French issue before, and if he took rash action to anger the French again, it would really not end well.
So, at one time, Sverdlov was ready to avoid Ho Chi Minh because it was too sensitive. After Ho Chi Minh's repeated requests and T-Minh's help, Sverdlov reluctantly met with him.
It should be said that Ho Chi Minh left the best impression on Sverdlov, in Xiao Si's opinion, Ho Chi Minh is the kind of revolutionary who is most similar to Big Brother, but what makes Sverdlov depressed is that this revolutionary he admires the most is the most tricky existence. He really couldn't make any decent promises to Ho Chi Minh who was trying to win national liberation and independence.
Later, Ho Chi Minh recalled the meeting and said: "Comrade Sverdlov was pessimistic about the revolution in Vietnam, probably because of relations with France, which was a cold water for me at that time......
After saying goodbye to Ho Chi Minh, the last person Sverdlov met was very sensitive and special, and he was Gao, the leader of the Communist Party of T. As the main person in charge of North Manchuria, according to the instructions of the Central Committee, Gao's main task when he met Sverdlov was to coordinate the relationship between the two sides. After all, the T Communist Party led the anti-Japanese coalition army at this time to fight with the Soviet Red Army, but this is not the main thing. Gao saw that Sverdlov's main task was to clarify how to solve the Northeast issue after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War.
Don't look at the T Republican Union as a brotherhood, but the brothers also have to settle accounts, what kind of status is the Northeast in the future, and the big brother of the Soviet Union is not going to leave. All this had to be resolved, and it was important to test the attitude of the top leadership of the USSR on this issue in advance.
There may be comrades who want to say, is this necessary? Didn't Li Xiaofeng already show a considerable degree of goodwill to the T Gong? Is it still necessary to test Sverdlov's attitude?
This kind of thinking is very wrong, Li Xiaofeng is Li Xiaofeng, and Sverdlov is Sverdlov. Even if they have not been to the Soviet Union, the top of the CPSU knows that the top level of the CPSU is not so harmonious. Trotsky in the thirties VS Li Xiaofeng + Sverdlov + Stalin. The troika of the forties went hand in hand. When Trotsky retires next year, it will be a two-headed eagle dispute, and it is really hard to say whether Sverdlov will be defeated by Li Xiaofeng.
Who can say for sure about the political struggle? Anyway, the T Gong didn't dare to put all his eggs in one basket. And after all, Sverdlov is the nominal core leader of the next term, so how can we respect Sverdlov's attitude, right? After all, Sverdlov is no longer strong, and he still has the ability to wear small shoes for T.
In particular, the Mifu incident that occurred before sounded the alarm bell for the T Communist Party, although the Soviet side later explained that Mifu was holding chicken feathers as an arrow and was fooling around behind the back of the Central Committee of the CPSU. But this makes the explanation that the T Communist Party dare not believe it completely, and who dares to guarantee that this is not a tactic used by Sverdlov to knock the mountain and shock the tiger?
Now that Sverdlov has arrived, it's time to get in touch with him and test what this core leader means, so that the T Communist Party can see if it's a move.
After meeting Xiao Si, Gao first conveyed the cordial greetings of the T Communist Party ****** to Comrade Sverdlov, and then reported on the revolutionary situation in China and the practical difficulties he was facing. It was only at the end that the Northeast issue was tentatively raised.
Sverdlov's position on the Northeast was very Soviet. What does it mean to be very Sovietized? First of all, he believed that the Soviet Red Army had spent a relatively large price in order to liberate the Northeast, and although it was impossible to reach out to the impoverished T Communist Party as in Eastern Europe, it would certainly have to use the Northeast issue to achieve certain political goals.
For example, if the Soviet Red Army is not in the Northeast, what will it do to influence the county? Isn't that all in vain? Although Sverdlov thinks that no matter how small the international influence of Bad County is, no matter how small the mosquito is, it is not meat, and it is better to have this snack than not to have it.
Therefore, his reply to Gao was: "For a period of time after the victory of the World Anti-Fascist War, the Soviet Red Army will be temporarily stationed in Northeast China to maintain social order and help the Chinese people in Northeast China resume their lives and production...... Moreover, the temporary stationing of the Soviet Red Army in Northeast China would be beneficial to China in the future, as it would prevent the heavy industrial base in Northeast China from falling into the hands of the reactionaries, and would also provide good support for the revolutionary struggle in Guannai. More importantly, it was able to radiate through the northeast to the county and Japan, and promote the development of the revolution in these two countries. β
Gao was mentally prepared for such a result, because Li Xiaofeng had told Taizu and Zhou Gong before that after the end of the anti-fascist war, the Soviet Red Army would not immediately withdraw from the Northeast, because at that time a power vacuum would be formed in the Northeast, and if the Soviet Red Army did not occupy this position, the Northeast would fall into the hands of the People's Party. The Soviet Red Army would be stationed in the Northeast for a period of time until the T was able to take over the Northeast.
Li Xiaofeng even hinted that this was already the best condition he could win for Huaxia, that is, these conditions may not be able to pass smoothly in the ****** of the United Communist Party, and he hopes that the T Communist Party can understand.
After all, with the victory of the World Anti-Fascist War, a more fair and just handling of international relations has become a bit deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Imperialism can no longer demarcate spheres of influence in the old ways, and the Northeast has always been the legitimate territory of China. The Cairo Conference also made it clear that it would safeguard China's territorial and sovereign integrity. It's not appropriate for the Soviet Red Army to just rely on it, right?
And now, when Sverdlov said the same, it was not for nothing. Moreover, there are subtexts in Sverdlov's statement that are not quite consistent with Li Xiaofeng, which makes Huaxia uncomfortable. Sverdlov did not say when the Soviet Red Army would withdraw from the Northeast, let alone return the Northeast to China. Instead, they were talking about the importance of the Northeast to the Soviet Union. This not only made the T side gasp.
It's obvious! Sverdlov was reluctant to return the Northeast, and seemed to have the intention of exporting revolution through the Northeast, which made the T Communist Party very uncomfortable.
Sverdlov's statement is even worse than Liu Bei's borrowing of Jingzhou, at least Liu also said a deadline, and Xiao Si has no guarantees. Looking at his attitude, it seems that the Soviet Red Army's control of the northeast is still a good thing for the T Communist Party.
Such an attitude naturally made Taizu and Zhou Gong unhappy, at least they were not happy at all after listening to someone Gao's relay. This reminded them of what Li Xiaofeng had said before, and they knew that someone was not lying, and that the top leadership of the Soviet Union was not all so friendly and polite on the issue of the Northeast.
Even Taizu had to sigh: "It's easy to please God, but it's hard to send God!" β
What is more interesting is that Sverdlov at that time did not know how excessive his actions were, but took it for granted, and thought that he still took care of the T Communists. In his opinion, the T Communist Party has no ability to control the Northeast at all, and once the Soviet Red Army lets go, the Northeast will be immediately taken away by someone Chiang.
Therefore, he is very self-righteous that the best way to protect the T Communist Party is for the Soviet Red Army to come forward to control the northeast, so that there is no way to scrape the Kuomintang, even if the Americans put pressure on the T Communist Party, the Soviet Union can intervene. In the long run, it can at least drive the bad county, what a perfect plan!
Anyway, in Xiao Si's opinion, this is a matter of course, and the T Gong should be grateful to Dade for accepting Big Brother's kindness.
Of course, we all know that Sverdlov's ideas are too simplistic, too wishful thinking, too big brother. As a political party with discipline and ideals, it is difficult for the T Communist Party to accept such good intentions, and it is even more unwilling to accept such good intentions. Naturally, the mention of Sverdlov was difficult to accept, so in the following period of time, according to the instructions of the Party Central Committee, Gao took a cold approach to this issue, neither agreeing nor opposing it explicitly, but tried to react to Li Xiaofeng, hoping that a certain immortal would feedback the true thoughts of the Communist Party to the Comintern, and make Sverdlov dispel this idea in a roundabout way.
The reason for adopting such a strategy is that the T Gong is also embarrassed, they have already had an unpleasant quarrel with Sverdlov before, and if they openly contradict Sverdlov again this time, I am afraid it will be a bad thing. Since it is impossible to make Sverdlov unable to step down, he can only tell him with a cold confrontation and wordless silence: "We don't like this plan!" β
So did Sverdlov know the true attitude of the T Communists? With his political wisdom, it is not difficult to perceive the true thoughts of the T Communist Party. It's just that he chose to ignore it, and he didn't realize that the essence of the cold confrontation between the two parties is to take into account the good cooperative relationship between the two parties and maintain the current good situation. He thinks that the reason why the T Communist Party only dares to confront coldly is that the T Communist Party does not dare to directly refuse Big Brother, it is cowardice!
Sverdlov thinks that since you are afraid of me, I am not stupid if I do not adhere to the "principle". Naturally, he regarded the kindness of the T Communist Party as a donkey's liver and lungs, and instead actively pursued his Eastern revolutionary strategy.
So what was Xiao Si's Eastern Revolutionary Strategy? He set a priority, and this focus was on the northeast, which the Soviet Red Army would occupy as a fulcrum, and then go to leverage the revolutionary situation in East Asia. He believed that the focus of the Soviet Union's work in the next stage would be on the county of Laoxian, because the problem of the county was relatively simple, and it was within the scope of the future radiation of the Soviet Red Army, so it would be relatively simple to solve the problem of the county of the county.
After the settlement of the problem of the county area, the Soviet Union will promote the issue of the Chinese revolution in a timely manner and strive to help the Communist Party of China gain a firm foothold in northern China. He believed that the revolutionary struggle in China would be more difficult in the future, and that it would face a complicated situation of tug-of-war and protracted struggle.
Very simply, Sverdlov's choice was to make it easy first and then to make it difficult, he believed that the problem of bad counties was simple and naturally given priority to solving, while the Chinese problem involved too many strengths, Britain and the United States were involved, and if they didn't do it well, they would be burned. Although the Soviet Red Army was not afraid of Anglo-American imperialism, Sverdlov felt that it was a waste to spend the precious Soviet Red Army in the East, which was of little significance to the world revolution, and was naturally very conservative.
At the end of October, Sverdlov returned to Moscow with the results of his expedition, not to mention whether the results of his expedition were correct. It's hard to say what he's gained from this hurried journey. He met with some of the leaders of the Eastern Revolution, but it is difficult to say that he had a deep understanding of them, and the two sides were actually limited to a greeting, which could only be regarded as a little acquaintance.
Let's put it this way, Sverdlov's understanding of the East and the revolution in the East is very superficial, and it can only be said that he has taken a superficial view. On this basis, it is really hard to say how high the quality of the oriental revolutionary strategy he came up with is.
When he returned to Moscow, he summarized his thoughts into an article and sent them to ******. It was also submitted to the ****** for discussion and sent to **********. Anyway, looking at his posture, he will do what he says.
It's just that what Sverdlov didn't expect was that the evaluation of his article in the ****** was really not high. Trotsky and Li Xiaofeng, in particular, were even more dismissive of his strategy...... (To be continued.) )
