The Japanese are a combination of despicable and shameless obscenity, and this point of view is not under Li Xiaofeng, but under Hitler, the reason is very simple, he has always been the only one who is yin and others, and it is impossible for the head of state to be yin by others This time the Japanese are evil!

Why? According to the previous Trilateral Axis Treaty, Germany, Italy, and Japan would simultaneously flank the Soviet Union from the Western Front, the Eastern Front, and the Black Sea, and would declare war on the Soviet Union at the same time. On June 10, Germany and Italy declared war on the Soviet Union and launched an all-out offensive, but the Japanese dropped their chains in the East.

It was not until the day of June 15 that the Japanese Kwantung Army launched an attack on the province of Hung Yen and in the direction of Zhanggufeng and Khabarovsk, which was controlled by the Northeast Anti-Japanese Allied Army, but did not declare war on the Soviet Union!

There may be comrades who are about to make mistakes, the Japanese have all attacked, how can there be no declaration of war? Don't be dizzy, this is really possible, or rather, this is a devil who has learned badly from the national government. From the occupation of the Northeast by the devils in 1931 to the outbreak of the full-scale War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression in 1937, did the government declare war on Japan? The answer is no, it was not until 1942, when the devils attacked Pearl Harbor and the American godfather declared war on Japan, that the national government was furious: "Dare to beat Lao Tzu's godfather, this must be declared war!" ”

It can be seen that Chairman Jiang, who "loves the people like a son", loves the people is fake, and his distressed godfather is real. In other words, during the long period from the July Seven Incident in 1937 to December 1942, the national army and the devils were in a strange state, neither declaring war nor peace, and God knows what it was.

Of course, wise people can see that the government is leaving a way back for itself, and this is the idea of fighting snakes and rats at both ends.

And the devil is drawing a scoop with a gourd this time, in fact, he has the same mentality as Chairman Jiang. First of all. There has always been a controversy within the devil about whether to go north or south. The two factions each held their own word, and neither of them obeyed the other, even if they were inspired by the great achievements of the German and Italian allies in Europe, the devils did not dare to speak lightly of war; Secondly, the previous few battles with the Soviet Union really hurt the devils, they learned the power of the Soviet Red Army, and knew that the other party was not a soft persimmon. It's not good to take it casually; In the end, the devils actually have a kind of sitting and watching mentality, if the Germans can solve the Soviet Union like Poland and France, then they will naturally have to hurry up to follow up and grab the land, on the contrary, if the Germans do not go well, it is better to maintain the status quo and exercise restraint.

However, the Three Kingdoms Axis still has to be maintained, otherwise there is no way to explain to Germany and Italy, and after thinking about it, the devil learned the tricks of the national government. War is war, but don't be busy declaring war first. If the progress does not go well, it is a big deal to learn the previous solution of the Halaha River and Zhang Gufeng and withdraw from it, and it will be regarded as a local armed conflict.

I have to say that this trick of the devils is quite clever, they did not declare war first, the Soviet Union did not pierce the window paper because of the pressure on the Western Front, and even Trotsky and Sverdlov were happy to see the devils who had been taught a lesson by the Red Army go back honestly and in gray manners, just like the previous conflict between the Haraha River and Zhang Gufeng. In this way, the Soviet Union could avoid fighting on two fronts and concentrate on cleaning up the Germans.

Even Hitler couldn't compare with the Japanese, although the devils did not declare war, but they did start fighting, which was somewhat of attracting the troops of the Red Army in the Far East, although this pressure was a little small, but it was better than nothing, right?

Based on this situation, the Germans could only continue to shout through the diplomatic field, urging Japan to declare war on the Soviet Union as much as possible, and even hinted that as long as Japan was willing to declare war on the Soviet Union immediately, they could help the Nationalist Government to prevent Japan from falling into the quagmire of fighting on two fronts.

The Japanese were quite interested in the latter one, and they had long been tired of throwing heavy troops on the Chinese battlefield, and hated that the Chinese had always refused to admit defeat and surrender. If Germany can help with it, they will be happy. As for declaring war on the Soviet Union, the devil said that he was not in a hurry.

Not only do the devils feel that they can wait for the price to sell, but even the national government also feels that their value has doubled, they feel that the pressure on the Soviet Union is very high now, and I am afraid that they very much hope that they can continue to drag the devils, which means that they can ask for a price with a big mouth!

As ambassador to China, Chuikov immediately noticed the change in Chongqing's mentality, and this change made him feel extremely disgusted, and it was clear that working together to deal with the Japanese was in the interests of both China and the Soviet Union, and it was a good thing for both sides to benefit from cooperation. However, the Nationalist Government used this as a coercion, as if it had decided to eat the Soviet Union.

This made Chuikov very annoyed, in the most difficult time for the Nationalist Government, the Soviet Union was very happy to lend a helping hand, and at this time, the Soviet Union was in trouble, and the object of the relief was still taking advantage of this to rip off the bamboo, which was really unbearable.

In recent days, when progress on the Western Front had not been going well, and the pressure on Kiev and Odessa had been so great that Trotsky had barely closed his eyes, his eyes were red and his cheeks were even more unshaven, and he could only be heard anxiously asking: "What does the National Government mean?" ”

Litvinov replied: "According to Comrade Chuikov's reflection, the Nationalist Government wants us to increase our assistance to them exponentially, and at the same time cut off aid to the Turkish Communist Party. I even hope that we will directly dissolve the Turkish Communist Party through the Comintern......"

"What a bastard!" Trotsky could not help but scold angrily, in his opinion such a request was too shameless, "This is to think that we in the Soviet Union are easy to bully, right?" ”

Why not? Anyway, it is not a matter of a day or two for the Nationalist Government to surrender and want to reconcile with the devils, for Lao Jiang, it is not his wish to fight with the devils with all his might, and he hopes to weaken the local miscellaneous troops by resisting Japan, and it is best for the devils to eliminate all these annoying guys. Anyway, he was sure that neither Britain nor the United States nor the Soviet Union would allow the Japanese to be too rampant, and it was definitely not a devil who had the last laugh, and he only needed to stand in a trench with the final victor, make a show and then welcome victory. When the time comes, he will have both face and lining, how beautiful!

The problem is that Lao Jiang forgot a little, and there is no pie falling from the sky in this world, and there is no possibility of eating white rice without working. There is no such thing as a good thing to want to win without putting in the effort!

"Chongqing must be warned, and they must be made aware of it. The Japanese occupy half of their country. It's them who should be in a hurry. And not the USSR! Ulitsky said with a grunt.

Trotsky, however, did not think it was so simple, and asked: "How can this be done with warning?" Interrupt aid directly? ”

Ulitsky nodded straight and said yes, but Trotsky and Sverdlov said: "This is not appropriate, it may really push the Nationalist Government to the side of Japan." In case they really compromised, the Japanese could transfer a large number of troops to the Northeast, and then the pressure on the Far East would be great! ”

"And you mean, agree to their terms?" Ulitsky was on fire.

Trotsky and Sverdlov looked at each other and smiled bitterly: "Of course you can't ......"

Of course not, there is no follow-up, because "of course not" is not a good way. Even if Lao Tuo and Xiao Si said that they did not accept Lao Jiang's blackmail, they didn't know what to do, and it could be seen that they were more inclined to be with the mud.

But Li Xiaofeng is extremely tired of this, for the sake of the overall situation, he swallows his anger against Turkey, and now he has to swallow his anger against the disgusting old Jiang, who does not pay for his life, if it goes on like this, what kind of fighting nation is the Soviet Union? For these extortionist bastards, you can't be too gentle, you have to let them know that the Soviet Union is not easy to provoke, and if you provoke the Soviet Union, you will directly flip the table.

So he said categorically: "I think it is very necessary to interrupt the aid to the national government. Since 1939, they have taken arms and money from our aid. But blindly avoiding war, and excluding dissidents with one mind. Such a group of people is pure hooligans, and to be polite to hooligans is to condone them even more hooligans. I think we have to fight for tat to defeat their arrogance, and if there is little help, then don't ask for it. They don't want it, and some of them are willing to resist Japan Chinese they want it...... I think that Soviet aid should be more inclined to those forces that are willing and have always been active in resisting Japan, such as the Turkish Communist Party. In recent years, they have waged guerrilla warfare behind enemy lines, causing great trouble to the devils. Aid them, it makes more sense! ”

Li Xiaofeng can be regarded as saying what many people want to say but dare not say, such as Frunze, Dzerzhinsky, and Kuibyshev. Dzerzhinsky was the first to agree, and after learning about the real situation in China from Blyucher and Chuikov, and the corruption of the Kuomintang, the Man in the Iron Mask was vehemently opposed to giving away the precious wealth of the Soviet Union to a group of ogres.

"This is a crime against the Soviet people and the Chinese people who yearn for freedom, and the Soviet government is aiding an extremely corrupt warlord leader, this is a shame!"

Trotsky and Sverdlov looked at each other again, in fact, they did not have any good feelings about Lao Chiang and the Kuomintang, but they felt that they should take care of the overall situation first, and they needed to be patient at this time!

However, both Kuibyshev and Frunze said that they could no longer bear it, and Kuibyshev said: "Comrade Andrei is quite right, our patience can only fuel the arrogance of the Kuomintang, and will only make them think that they can get what they want. This is extremely wrong, and the Soviet Union should clearly tell them what is tolerable and what is resolutely unacceptable, and it is time to teach them a lesson! ”

Frunze also added: "According to the information I have received from Comrades Blyuhel and Chuikov, the combat effectiveness of the Kuomintang army is very worrisome, and at the moment of national crisis, a considerable number of officers do not want to defend the country, but to make a fortune in the country, and even make a so-called farce of saving the country by curves." It is doubtful how much pressure such an army could share for the Soviet Red Army, and the Politburo should really think about picking a more suitable partner, at least not all its eggs in one basket! ”

Trotsky and Sverdlov were under pressure, because the vast majority of the Politburo members said that it was difficult to continue to trust the Pakatan Nationalist Party, and they resolutely rejected their blackmail, even if they had to take into account the will of the collective.

Soon they could only make concessions: "Then let Comrade Chuikov go and show the attitude of the Soviet government to Chongqing and urge them to truly fulfill their responsibilities and obligations!" ”

However, Li Xiaofeng still did not like this statement, he immediately said: "This is not enough, we should immediately send important personnel to Yan'an to contact the Turkish Communist Party, on the one hand, to lay the foundation for future cooperation, and on the other hand, to allow the Turkish Communist Party to put pressure on Chongqing on the issue of resistance against Japan!" ”

After some deliberation, Trotsky and Sverdlov reluctantly agreed to Li Xiaofeng's proposal, and after the meeting was dismissed, they sent a telegram to Chuikov in the name of the Politburo. Let him negotiate with Chongqing head-on. On the other hand, he was also asked to inform Zhou Gong of the Chongqing office of the Turkish Communist Party. Do a good job in the preparatory work for the contacts between the senior leaders of the two parties.

So what is Lao Jiang's attitude towards this? To tell the truth, the attitude is quite bad, not to mention that Chairman Chiang is not ruthless towards the Japanese, and he is really "majestic and heroic" to his allies; in history, Chiang did not have a good face for Stilwell, who dared to speak out about the Kuomintang issue, and repeatedly demanded that he be replaced. In other words, Lao Jiang eats hard rather than soft.

This time. When Chuikov expressed his high dissatisfaction with the Soviet government, Lao Chiang became angry and had a fierce argument with Chuikov, and the final result was naturally unhappy. And after the talks, Chuikov also bluntly told Moscow: "Chiang will not be a comrade-in-arms of the Soviet Union!" ”

After Chuikov came to this conclusion, Li Xiaofeng once again proposed that assistance to the Turkish Communist Party should be strengthened, and compared with the unreliable Scraping People's Party, the Turkish Communist Party is its own person after all. However, Trotsky and Sverdlov were still not fully convinced that they should not be too hasty on the China issue. The Scraping People's Party must be given enough patience under their construction. People's Commissar for Foreign Affairs Litvinov made an urgent visit to China in an attempt to do the work of scraping the Kuomintang one last time.

Many years later, Litvinov recalled the experience of the trip: "It was not a pleasant fulfillment, and at the beginning of my arrival in Chongqing, I could perceive the twilight of the regime entrenched in Chongqing, and after personally coming into contact with the members of the Kuomintang, I became more and more disconfident in this regime, until after meeting with Chiang, all my confidence was gone......

Litvinov stayed in Chongqing for five days, during which the diplomat did everything possible to get the Nationalist Government to abandon its unrealistic demands and fulfill its obligations during the war of resistance, as Trotsky had instructed. Chongqing had little interest in the war of resistance, and wanted more arms and economic aid, as well as a fight against the Turkish Communist Party.

"It is already clear that the People's Party is not the comrade-in-arms and partner we are looking for," Li Xiaofeng said at the Politburo meeting, "in essence, this regime only wants to get something for nothing, only wants benefits and does not want to fulfill its obligations, and it is very inefficient to cooperate with them, so it is time to choose a real and reliable partner!" ”

This time even Trotsky and Sverdlov did not talk about the big picture, who made the Scrape the People's Party not care about the big picture at all? At this meeting, the focus of the discussion shifted from whether or not to continue to meet the needs of the Kuomintang in depth to how to make the anti-Japanese armed forces of the Turkish Communist Party play a greater role.

"There are a lot of issues before us," Mr. Frunze said, "and we don't have a direct border with Yan'an, and it's unlikely that we'll be able to give military aid directly by land." The consumption and capacity of air transportation are quite limited, and there is no large airport in Yan'an. The first thing we need to solve is the question of how to assist Yan'an. ”

After a pause, Frunze continued: "After discussion, the Military Commission and the General Staff have temporarily come up with two plans, one is to enter Shaanxi through Gansu and Ningxia through the prosperous era of Xinjiang, and the other is to directly open up the Inner Mongolia passage and build a wartime highway to Shaanxi. Of these two plans, the first is easy to achieve, but the potential risks are very large, Sheng Shicai is not reliable, and Gansu and Ningxia are the territories of the three horses in the northwest, and it is even foreseeable that the Central Army of the People's Party will also try to create trouble for us. As for the second option, it is necessary to launch an attack in the direction of Inner Mongolia, and the limited strength of our army in the Irkutsk region is too weak, even with the cooperation of the Mongol army. In particular, we must consider that the Japanese army will not watch us come to the aid of the Turkish Communists, and it is very likely that it will cause a large-scale and sustained battle......"

Frunze's meaning is very clear: it is not easy to aid the Turkish Communist Party, and there are big problems in either plan. Especially in the second option, in the Irkutsk Military District, where the Soviet Union was already tight, it was very risky. Especially in Outer Mongolia, where the yellow sand is long, it is very difficult to build and maintain a road through the desert.

After some discussion, the Politburo agreed on a second plan, but at the same time decided that the road construction could not be done overnight, and it would take time. And because of the unreliability of the Scraping People's Party, in order to put pressure on the Japanese army on the Chinese battlefield, it was necessary for the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army to assume more responsibilities, such as engaging in a few more battles like the Battle of the Hundred Regiments. However, since the launch of the Hundred Regiments War in 1940, the Turkish Communist Party has been quite difficult, which is simply difficult for a strong man.

"Strengthen air freight and deliver as many weapons and supplies as possible." This is the decision of the Politburo, of course, this is only the decision of the United Communist Party (CPB), whether it can be carried out depends on the meaning of the PKR. However, in this respect, the Turkish Communist Party is indeed more active than the Scraping Kuomintang, and although it said that the difficulties were quite large, it was willing to cooperate with the big brother of the Soviet Union.

Trotsky was so pleased with this statement that he wrote in his diary: "Sure enough, only his own comrades, only the revolutionary comrades of the proletariat, can be relied upon!" ”

Of course, Lao Tuo is also a kind person, the Turkish Communist Party gives face, and he will not pit his brothers, starting in July, a large number of weapons and ammunition have been sent to Yan'an by air, a considerable part of which are "heavy weapons" specially used to fight pillboxes, because according to the experience of the Hundred Regiments War, the Eighth Route Army's ability to attack fortifications is limited, and it is urgent to destroy light artillery that can destroy pillboxes...... (To be continued......)
