Chapter 380: Don't worry
"An air battle has caused the entire Pacific Ocean to surge."
Yan'an, a cave.
Mao Zedong was still holding a copy of "The Rise of a Great Power" and reading it carefully, and opposite him, Zhu De, Ren Bishi, Wang Jiaxiang, Chen Yun, Zhang Wentian, Luo Ruiqing, Yang Shangkun and other senior cadres were present one by one, and everyone also had a book in their hands...... It's learning time. Recently, the Japanese have been working hard mainly towards the south and toward the Kuomintang, and the days in the major anti-Japanese base areas in the north have been quite stable. And Mao Zedong took advantage of his "privilege" to directly become a librarian, which led to his cave becoming a place for everyone to gather at a certain time. You can't let everyone go to grab that limited library resource with other comrades, right? After all, the Communist Party has not yet reached the point where it can print books at will, not to mention that many of these books cannot be printed and published at will.
"The Japanese are greedy, and it is impossible to spit out what you swallow...... But it was not easy to defeat the army group of Timoshenko who was blocking in front of them. "Yang Shangkun, one of the twenty-eight and a half Bolsheviks who returned from studying abroad with Wang Ming. However, compared with Wang Ming and others, Yang Shangkun is much more realistic. Otherwise, it would not be possible to remain one of the important leaders of the CPC Central Committee. However, after all, he returned from studying in the Soviet Union, and after seeing the "strength" of the Soviet Union, he still has some confidence in the Soviet Union when talking about the current situation.
"When the Japanese attacked the Far East, no one imagined that they would be able to fight all the way to Ulan-Ude. If the Soviets hadn't reacted fast enough, they might have captured Irkutsk, or even farther away. Now their front in the Far East is solid, and even many leaders of the CPSU in the Far East have taken refuge in them...... Timoshenko sat on a powerful mechanized army group. On the one hand, it is true that there is no air supremacy, and on the other hand, it may not be because of the people's will. The Soviet government did go a little too far in some areas. Zhang Wentian, that is, the "Comrade Luo Fu" in various Long March dramas in later generations, said in a deep voice.
"This is the lesson, and we must not make the same mistake in the future." Mao Zedong sighed.
I don't know if I don't know the road, and I was shocked when I saw it. The previous Communist Party did not know much about the Soviet Union, and even those like Yang Shangkun, who had returned from studying in the Soviet Union, were somewhat "detached from the masses", and only passively listened to those Soviet teachers in school talk about the goodness of socialism, and had a very limited understanding of the actual social conditions in the Soviet Union. The books sent from Chongqing, on the other hand, contain many historical events since the founding of the Soviet Union. as well as policies, as well as the social conditions of each period, are described in detail and rigorously analyzed. It can be said that the books or materials contained in them startled them all...... Is that the legendary Soviet Union? Is that the legendary communist comrade with a real international spirit? They are extremely skeptical of the description in the book, but there are some things that only need to be knotted. It is impossible to remain indifferent. It just so happened that many of their comrades were studying in the Soviet Union, so they conducted a "secret investigation" of the Soviet Union through these people...... Outcome. They got a picture that was quite different from the description in the book. But it's also a somewhat frightening answer.
But this was nothing, and the most incredible thing for them was the news that after the Japanese army had secured their positions in Ulan-Ude and almost captured Timoshenko alive with airborne troops, the Soviets in the occupied areas of the Far East began to take the initiative to cooperate with the Japanese army, and many of them were senior leaders of the CPSU in the Far East. This news has not yet been officially made public, but many countries and political forces have already made it known. Because the Japanese seem to be planning to create a Far Eastern republic with these people. Originally, there was nothing about it. China still has the remnants of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, what kind of puppet Manchukuo is doing there? It is also normal for someone in the USSR to engage in the Far Eastern Republics. The problem, however, was that these former Soviet officials, who were about to become leaders of the Far Eastern Republics, had prepared a large number of materials that exposed many of the misdeeds of the Soviet government since its founding, including the forcible snatching of the peasants' last grain of rice during the implementation of the "surplus grain collection system." The indiscriminate killing of innocents during the "Great Purge" and the Soviet government's decision in the "VII. After the "Seven Incidents", the deeds of wantonly arresting and expelling Chinese in the Far East.
It can be said that this incident, one by one, is exposing that the Soviet government is far from being as great and righteous as they themselves claim, and that it is not even popular in their own country. It is only because of the harsh and repressive rule they have imposed on the country that people do not dare to rise up against it for the time being. As it is written in the book, when Lenin was in exile, he had a discussion with people in Geneva, and Plekhanov, one of the founders of the Russian Marxist party, said that the French Jacobin government collapsed because it had cut off too many heads. Lenin, on the other hand, retorted solemnly: no, because there were too few heads chopped off. As a result, Lenin did what he said, and in the first month of the founding of the Soviet Union, more than 100,000 people were killed, while the Romanov dynasty in the Russian imperial era only killed 894 people in 80 years...... And it is clear that Stalin, as Lenin's successor, was far more brutal and murderous than Lenin.
In addition, according to the information provided in the book, it was discovered that the great revolutionary teacher was also a traitor to the state. In 1917, the German government sent Lenin and other Bolshevik leaders back to Russia, and soon Lenin and others rebelled, overthrew the democratically elected government, and signed the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk with Germany, ceding the Baltic region, Poland and Ukraine to Germany, and promising to pay Germany 6 billion marks in war reparations...... And Lenin did not lose, he in turn used this method in the neighboring countries, and the losses of the Soviet Union in the neighboring countries, that is, China, were recovered.
What is the collapse of idols?
That's it.
From national idols to personal idols, they have basically collapsed. Although everyone struggled to maintain that admiration, everyone knew very well that the Soviet Union and Lenin were no longer the objects they wanted to believe in and learn from. Although everyone had long ago doubted the Soviet Union and embarked on the path of independence, after all, they did not feel as alienated and wary of that country as they do now.
It can be said that the only thing that can give these socialist followers any comfort is that the information on the so-called "Far Eastern Republic" has not yet been officially published, and that it is from the hands of the Japanese and the Soviet traitors of the soon-to-be-formed Far Eastern Republic. The credibility is not high. However, they still have a lot of worries, worried that after the release of these materials, through identification and judgment, they will be able to come to a "true" answer. If that's the case, how will they deal with it?
"The ancients said well, 'governing a big country is like cooking a small fresh'. It is a pity that the Soviet Union has taken drastic measures in governing the country, and although it has made tremendous achievements, it has harmed the interests of the broadest masses of the people to a great extent. This is not advisable. Wang Jiaxiang glanced at the crowd, "Moreover, although we are also believers in socialism. But after all, it was not the Soviet Union. Different countries have different national conditions. As the book says, there is no such thing as the best system, only the most suitable one. It doesn't matter what the doctrine is, no matter what the political party. As long as they are in power, they should take the 'three advantages and three represents' as their own policy. I think it's a good summary. It is worth learning from. Socialism. It doesn't have to be just the Soviet Union. Just like our revolutionary approach, in the exact opposite of the Soviet Union's occupation of the cities in the first place, we took the rural route, because the peasants were the ...... with the largest majority of Chinese."
"Comrade Jiaxiang said well, but I also feel a little bit wrong...... Are we digressing? Zhu De looked at everyone with a smile, "Aren't we going to discuss how to deal with the new round of anti-communist wave that the Kuomintang Chiang Kai-shek may set off?" ”
"yes. It's a serious problem. Ren Bishi shook the cigarette pouch in his hand, "Let emotions affect reason, this is unacceptable." Besides, we are still only an opposition party, and we are still far from the ruling party. At this time, if the old Jiang Zhilu is allowed to think about the problem at the national level, wouldn't it strengthen his determination to promote the anti-communist wave? ”
"But now the strength of Lao Chiang and the Kuomintang is getting stronger and stronger. More than 30,000 people can be transported thousands of miles away in less than a day, and the airborne division is almost an unsolvable problem...... If Lao Chiang is ruthless, whether it is the central government or the major anti-Japanese base areas, it will be extremely dangerous. Luo Ruiqing said in a deep voice...... According to these hints from the book, the leaders of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China now like to discuss in groups, and then make a general deduction. Each group represents a country or a powerful force, and then responds to the current situation from its own standpoint. The air battle in Guangzhou was extremely influential, and after their deduction, they found that the Japanese were very likely to start a decisive battle with the Soviet Union in the short term, while China, the main battlefield, was likely to fall into peace...... This is a good thing for China as a whole, but it is also dangerous for them: Chiang Kai-shek has free time, and nine times out of ten he will attack them again. And this time, with the airborne division and strong air transport capabilities, no one can guarantee whether Lao Jiang will stop doing it without a single blow like the last time. And most importantly, even if Lao Jiang had that thought, how would they deal with the blow from the air? They don't have any means of air defense.
"The airborne division is quite numerous, but I believe that until the Japanese are defeated, or this force is expanded again, Lao Chiang is reluctant to use it against our opponents in the ravines...... As for air transport, it is even more unlikely. If we destroy the airfield, how will his plane land? Mao Zedong was very optimistic, "Therefore, what we need to do now is to prevent the old Chiang from repeating his old trick and engaging in the trick of encircling the army again." ”
"But the strength of the Kuomintang has grown rapidly recently, not only does it have its own money, but also the support of Britain and the United States, as well as Soviet weapons," Chen Yun pinched his fingers and calculated the account, and shook his head after the most reluctance: "It's quite amazing." ”
"What if it's terrible? Again, he will come if he wants, anyway, we will never be restrained, we will fight when we should fight, and we will leave when we should go...... Never fight with him. Zhu De snorted coldly, "What if Lao Jiang is rich?" With money, he is still the same Chiang Kai-shek as before, and he doesn't have the ability to fight! ”
"Haha, what Mr. Zhu said is right." Mao Zedong laughed, "No matter how rich Chiang Kai-shek is, no matter how much weapons he has, he still won't fight." What can Hu Zongnan, Yan Xishan and the like do to us? The others are not as good as these two. I don't believe that he still dares to send Xue Yue and Bai Zhengxi to deal with us. If that were the case, the Japanese would probably not have attacked the Soviet Union, but would have caught him and beaten him first. ”
"The chairman said this well, but it also gave us a reminder," Luo Ruiqing suddenly frowned: "Think about it, what if the Japanese don't attack the Soviet Union first, but attack China first, or even attack on all fronts?" (To be continued......)
