241 New Thinking
Speaking of which, the Axis powers in World War II were really only a loose alliance, and their coordination was more than a notch worse than that of the Allied Bloc in World War I. Among them, it is not only Italy, a pig teammate, who keeps talking about Germany's hind legs, but also Japan's contribution to the entire Axis bloc is not "positive".
The devil not only failed to cooperate with the Nazis to attack the Soviet Union in the north, but instead went to provoke the United States.
However, such a pig teammate Li Xiaofeng likes it very much, a devil who doesn't die is not a good devil, and the more a devil dies, the better!
Of course, he doesn't just count on the devil's spirit of death, after all, because of his appearance, the trajectory of history has changed considerably, for example, the Pearl Harbor incident did not appear on time as in history.
So sometimes Li Xiaofeng has to take the initiative to go to the devil, such as now: "According to the available intelligence, the Japanese militarist clique has lost interest in continuing to attack China's Far East region in the north, and they are intensively planning to attack and occupy Southeast Asia in the south, and I think this can be fully exploited." ”
Trotsky frowned unconsciously, for he saw a hint of conspiracy in Li Xiaofeng's expression, fearing that someone's plan would be insidious and not entirely consistent with his claims.
Sure enough, Li Xiaofeng continued: "We should find a way to induce Japan to move south as soon as possible, once they attack the British oil producing areas in Southeast Asia, it will trigger a chain reaction!" ”
Trotsky's expression suddenly became so strange that he might even say in his heart: "I knew it was so!" ”
To be honest, Trotsky did not like Li Xiaofeng's proposal. He has always wanted to promote the world anti-fascist grand alliance. And in this alliance. The role of the United Kingdom is crucial. This time, it was clear that they wanted to pit the British, and they were known by the bulls, and they also made a fart alliance, so it would be strange if they didn't fight.
Li Xiaofeng scoffed at Trotsky's ideas: "Judging from the current situation, it is absolutely impossible to establish a grand anti-fascist alliance, and Britain and the United States have always treated us with hostility and prejudice. Isn't that a series of previous moves telling? ”
These words made Xiao Si, Ruzutak, and Dzerzhinsky nod their heads again and again, and even Frunze, who has never expressed much opinion, said: "Comrade Andrei is quite right, the imperialist clique has always been determined to die. Even when they reach the moment of life and death, they do not forget to reject and attack us, which fully shows that the contradiction between us is a contradiction between us and the enemy, and it can be irreconcilable. Comrade Lenin believed that the only thing we could rely on in the Great Patriotic War was the Soviet people and the proletariat of the whole world......"
Frunze's words were very heavy, especially when he quoted Lenin later, which was so powerful that even Trotsky had to think about it.
Li Xiaofeng continued to strike with heat: "In particular, we must note that the imperialist bloc headed by Britain and the United States has no time to take into account the rapid expansion of Japan's militarist forces, and it is impossible for them to directly confront Japan's military expansion for quite a long time. That is, they will not be able to share the pressure on us in the Far East. In fact, what they are doing now is to compromise with Japan and stabilize Japan. And that's right for us. This is a crime for the people of Asia who have always resisted Japanese aggression! ”
Speaking of this, Li Xiaofeng abruptly increased his tone: "Attacking the Axis bloc and eliminating the fascist forces should be treated equally, and Britain and the United States, which have been sucking blood in Asia, must assume the responsibility they have been evading!" And all we have to do is make them face up to that responsibility! ”
In other words, Li Xiaofeng's level of referring to deer as horses is also quite high, obviously he wants to yin the British and drag them into the water, but he is righteous, righteous and righteous, anyway, this hypocritical appearance makes Trotsky itch in the back tooth socket.
However, Trotsky could not object to it for the simple reason that the Politburo had already been attracted by Li Xiaofeng's idea, and if what someone said was true, if Japan really had the intention of going south to seize the territory of Britain and the United States, then why didn't we push it? Wouldn't it be nice to let these imperialist dog-eat-dogs?
If imperialism eats a dog, then naturally the pressure of the Soviet Union in the Far East will be lightened, and you can concentrate on cleaning up the Nazis. And according to Li Xiaofeng, the price to be paid by the Soviet Union is very low, and it only needs to make a truce with the devils in the northeast, and this deal is very worthwhile!
Trotsky, however, disagreed: "How can Japan's wolf ambitions be so easily persuaded? How could they be content with a truce in the northeast alone? What if they ask for a sky-high price on the Huaxia issue? ”
I have to say that sometimes Lao Tuo is really a bit weird, his attitude was inclined to compromise with Japan before, but as soon as he heard that Li Xiaofeng was preparing to Yin Yingmei, he immediately changed his ways.
This made Sverdlov sarcastically remarkable: "Comrade Trotsky, you have agreed to a temporary compromise with Japan, but now, how have you changed your mind?" ”
Trotsky was also dizzy, he also realized his mistake, and his mind was a little confused every time someone came in and stirred it up. Yes, isn't someone also in favor of a temporary compromise with Japan? Why did he feel so angry?
There were two reasons why Trotsky was angry, one was that he had always been obsessed with the idea of an anti-fascist alliance, so he was a little anxious when he heard that a certain immortal was going to trap his allies. The other is that Lao Tuo gradually has a sense of crisis, and the rise of a certain immortal is getting faster and faster, especially after entering 1940, the growth rate of this person's power is non-linear. At this time, the successors of the Trotskyists that Lao Tuo vigorously cultivated were still green and yellow, and at this rate, the successors he circled would never be the opponents of a certain immortal.
In Lao To's view, the current Leninists are already very strong, and if it were not for his hard support, the Trotskyists would simply not be able to get along. Originally, he saw hope from Sverdlov that Xiao Si was not as strong as Lenin, and even less ruthless than Stalin, and that there was much to be done to vigorously consolidate the strength of the Trotskyists when Xiao Si was weak.
But with Li Xiaofeng's strong rise. Even Xiao Si had to give him a few points. As you can imagine. It will be difficult to take advantage of the Leninists in the future. Trotsky could have imagined that someone could have taken advantage of the lack of Trotskyism to "kill the killers", and then the Trotskyists would be in danger. Therefore, Lao Tuo sometimes subconsciously opposes Li Xiaofeng's proposals, even if some of them seem to him to be very feasible.
Trotsky sighed in his heart and justified: "There is an essential difference between my proposal and that of Comrade Andrei. My proposal is not to engage in conspiracy, but his proposal is similar to the pre-British and French policy of appeasement and misfortune. The side effects of this approach are so obvious that it is easy to cause conflicts between us and the UK. Leads to unnecessary conflicts! ”
Li Xiaofeng naturally couldn't admit the accusation of conspiracy, he didn't want to leave a very sinister and despicable impression on the great elders present, so he immediately retorted: "Isn't it a conspiracy to make peace with the devil behind our Huaxia allies?" Not a betrayal? In my opinion, this approach is even more shameless, China is much weaker than Britain and the United States, and it has also been fighting Japan alone for more than 4 years. What did Britain and the United States, which had a large number of interests in China during this period and had always promised to safeguard China's sovereignty and territorial integrity, do? It's just a cold look! Is such a state of affairs justified? ”
Li Xiaofeng did not give Trotsky a chance to speak, and continued to emphasize: "I think this is an opportunity, a good opportunity for the Asian proletariat to really rise and really get rid of the control of British and American imperialism!" Comrades. If you think about it, the bloody invasion and plunder of Japan will lead to the awakening of the Asian proletariat. The emptiness and weakness of the British and Americans will make them have to rely more on their own strength to fight the invaders. In this way, even after defeating Japan, it is absolutely impossible for Britain and the United States to return to the colonial or semi-colonial state they had before! ”
"This is a great opportunity!" Li Xiaofeng once again emphasized, "We must use Japan's aggression to smash the shackles imposed on the Asian people by imperialism, and guide their awakening by aiding them in their struggle, and in the future, the wave of revolution in Asia will completely change the world!" ”
The Great Elders looked at each other, and I have to say that many people were very interested in this prospect depicted by Li Xiaofeng, because this kind of operability was indeed very high. If you think about it, the idea of using the hands of the Japanese to destroy the Anglo-American control of Asia, and then aiding the awakened proletariat to make a revolution, is a good idea!
"It's not just good!" Li Xiaofeng once again incarnated as a master of fooling, "Comrades, please think about it, will Britain watch Japan snatch their cake?" Once Japan enters Southeast Asia, it will inevitably break out into a direct conflict with Britain, and it is very likely that the two countries will declare war. ”
Japan and Britain declared war, and then the Great Elders are afraid that they will have to mourn for the British.
"It's very likely!" Li Xiaofeng affirmed this possibility, but he preferred to say another possibility: "With the current Anglo-American relationship, I can conclude that the British will ask the United States to sanction Japan and cut off Japan's oil and steel supplies." What will happen then? ”
Kuibyshev was the first to say: "Relations between the United States and Japan have deteriorated sharply!" ”
In fact, Kuibyshev didn't say half of what he said later, because he felt that the possibility was too small, unless the Japanese were completely insane, otherwise doing so would be death!
Kuibyshev believes that the Japanese are not so crazy, you must know that even the Soviet Union before the war did not dare to offend the United States too much, because the war potential of the United States is too terrible!
But Li Xiaofeng said something that Kuibyshev did not dare to say: "I have carefully studied the history of the rise of Japan, and since 1894, this country has acquired wealth and resources through military adventures and gambling one after another. This was true in 1894, and it was also true in 1904, so to speak, the country has become accustomed to gambling and thinks that it will win in every situation. I can assert that once the United States sanctions Japan, the consequences will mean war. Japan will risk death to attack the United States in a desperate ......"
Trotsky took a breath of cool air, the possibility was too frightening, if that were to happen...... Lao Tuo buried himself in the math and suddenly realized that if this situation really appeared, it would not be a bad thing for the Soviet Union. With the war potential and military strength of the United States, it is not difficult to suppress Japan, and even with Japan's military adventure, I am afraid that Britain and the United States will quickly move towards unanimity, and this pair of cousins will join hands to fight the fascist forces in Europe and Asia.
Trotsky felt. If Japan really goes to die. Then there will be no suspense in this battlefield. Japan, Germany and Italy have no chance of winning!
He even felt that if Japan really took the risk of attacking the United States, it would not only be Britain and the United States that could get closer, but it was entirely possible for Britain, the United States, and the Soviet Union to put aside their prejudices for the time being, and this situation was also something he was happy to see.
However, Trotsky was also a little unhappy, because Li Xiaofeng had performed too well, which made him deeply jealous. The more amazing a certain immortal is, the more difficult it will be for the Trotskyists to defeat someone in the future.
Trotsky was entangled, depressed, and the egg hurt. Let's put it this way, Lao Tuo at this time is envious, jealous and hateful, why, who let him not have such a powerful successor as an immortal?
At this time, Lao Tuo knew very well that the great elders of the Politburo had already been moved by someone's words. In fact, even he was tempted, if Japan went to seize Southeast Asia, it would have such a good effect. It's idiocy not to let them rob it. At least Lao Tuo himself can't do such an idiotic thing. Now, the Politburo's only concern is how to achieve this goal as quickly as possible.
In this regard, Li Xiaofeng said: "We have two choices, one is to contact Japan with a normal heart and stop the war in the northeast in the way that is most beneficial to us. This approach may have less impact on China's allies, but it will take longer and may face difficult negotiations. ”
Trotsky asked directly: "What about the second way?" ”
Li Xiaofeng smiled bitterly and replied: "The second way is to show weakness and pay a certain price to satisfy the Japanese, so that they will think that we have no time to look east for the time being." The international impact of this approach is probably not good, and it comes at a low cost, with the advantage that the negotiations are moving quickly. ”
Trotsky frowned and thought about it, and just as he was about to say that the second way should be adopted, Li Xiaofeng suddenly interjected: "Actually, there is a third way......
No sooner had Learvin returned to his apartment in Paris than he received not-so-good news from the German interior that Japan had recently made strange moves.
"Several divisions and regiments that were originally reinforced to the Kwantung Army have re-moved south, and the military conflict between the Kwantung Army and the Soviet Red Army in the Far East is weakening."
Although the report contained only a few lines, and did not explain the whereabouts of the Japanese divisions heading south, Learwin could perceive that this information was unusual.
"Is the information reliable?"
"It was obtained from the German Foreign Office, and the Germans have always been very concerned about Japan's military operations in the Far East, and they immediately noticed the abnormal dynamics in Japan and immediately lodged representations with the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs."
Learvin asked, "How did the Japanese reply?" ”
"The Japanese resolutely denied the accusation that the Kwantung Army was not working in the northeast, saying that those divisions that went south were sent back to the rear to rest and recuperate, and as for the recent period of operation, there was not much progress, and the Japanese pushed the weather."
Learwin thought for a moment and asked, "What do you think?" Is it really what the Japanese say? ”
"Not necessarily, it is said that it is the Japanese army's A division that is dispatched south, and it is not as simple as resting and recuperating to transfer so much in one go. I think that the Japanese may feel that they cannot open up the situation in Tohoku, and they are ready to turn around again and solve the Nationalist Government. It is very likely that these divisions transferred to the south went to the south to launch a large-scale military operation against the People's Party. ”
Learvin frowned, neither agreeing with this statement nor objecting, but asked again: "What was the reaction of the Soviet side?" Have troops also been drawn from the Far East? ”
"No, the Soviet Union neither transferred troops from the Far East nor increased them, everything was business as usual. It was a surprise knock on the Kuomintang Party, and it seemed that the Soviet Union was determined to aid the Turkish Communist Party in China. ”
Learwin nodded quietly, and then walked over. Speaking from her heart, she thought of many possibilities, but each one was ruthlessly denied. She was very concerned about the movements of the Soviet Union and Japan, which she thought were unusual and must represent something.
Learwin sighed faintly: "It seems that it is necessary to remind the upper authorities to pay close attention to the situation in the Far East and the Soviet Union, and I hope that nothing will happen over there." ”
Yes, the British Empire really can't stand the toss, the unrestricted submarine warfare of the Germans in the Atlantic has left the British Isles breathless, and on the Atlantic side, the American cousin is not as cute as it seems. Lend-Lease was not without a price, and the British Empire would have paid much, much for it.
If something happens in the Far East at this time, will it be the last straw that breaks the camel's back?
Thinking of this, Learwin stomped his foot hatefully, and sent her to the French side, causing the Soviet side to be completely ignored, if she stayed in the Soviet Union, she would definitely be able to figure out what Japan and the Soviet Union were doing.
Liervin's guess was not correct at all, the Soviet Union and Japan were indeed abnormal, and in fact the news she received was already greatly delayed. The Soviet Union and Japan have come close to or basically agreed, that the two sides will suspend the exchange of fire in Northeast China and are ready to settle all disputes in China through negotiations.
"Comrades, this negotiation is of great importance to the Soviet Union," Li Xiaofeng said solemnly as the Soviet delegation was about to leave for the East, "because your performance will determine the course of this war!" (To be continued......)
