July 1, Shanghai Puxi Airport

With the successive landings of several planes, the Shanghai Soviet Government welcomed its first foreign guests since its establishment.

However, the relationship between these foreign guests does not seem to be harmonious, and even almost clashed as soon as they met.

――Fang Zhimin, Chen Yi and the others didn't discuss it with the traversers, so they invited Li De over with their own words!

In general, let the Comintern military adviser Comrade Li De, or the Imperial German Army Private Otto? Braun's visit to receive his fellow Germans, the German advisory group in Nanking, headed by Generals Secter and Falkenhausen, was a very bad idea.

First of all, there is a huge difference in the ranks of the two -- Seckert was the chief of the General Staff of the German Army before his retirement, while Li De was only the lowest-ranking private in the German army, and it stands to reason that he is not even qualified to talk to Admiral Seckert.

Secondly, on the one hand, the most conservative, feudal, and reactionary Junker landlord and aristocratic officer corps, and on the other hand, the most radical revolutionaries who proclaimed that "the proletariat has no motherland", the class hatred between the two sides has long overwhelmed the friendship of compatriots, and has basically reached the level of "seeing fellow countrymen and putting a shot in the back".

Therefore, the encounter between the "Comintern adviser" Comrade Li De and the members of the German advisory group at the airport was simply a disaster.

-- The attitude of the German advisory group towards the Red Army at first was only cold and arrogant, but after Yujian Li De, it became contemptuous and disdainful.

Among them was a German colonel who claimed to have been in charge of the suppression of the Bavarian Soviet government and had fought street battles with Reid in Munich. He even ridiculed this "Braun private" in public as a "coward, deserter and traitor" who was "as shameless as a Jew and as weak-willed as an Italian bastard"! Only the ignorant Russians would treat him as a treasure and send him to a foreign country as a military adviser. I'm not afraid to smash my own brand.

As a result, Adviser Li De, who had been accustomed to being flattered in the past few years, immediately blew up like a cat whose tail had been trampled on, and was so enraged that he completely forgot his identity as an idler who had long been "marginalized", and immediately roared and gave orders, declaring that the Shanghai Soviet Government had committed "serious right-leaning capitulationism." There must be a thorough purge and a purge of rebellion, the execution of "at least a hundred traitors" from top to bottom, and the arrest and shooting of these heinous German reactionaries in the first place...... Of course. There was simply no one present who took his words seriously.

What is even more regrettable is that Adviser Li De seems to have forgotten that this is not the Jiangxi ravine where information is closed, and that there are several liaison officers of the Comintern and the Soviet Army's intelligence bureau "GRU" who have just arrived on Soviet destroyers -- and only the words of this "Comintern military adviser" have not been heard. A Soviet captain wearing a black bat badge walked out with a sneer. An earth-shattering truth was announced:

The Comintern never appointed Li De as a military adviser to the Chinese Red Army, nor did it ever give Li De any instructions! Moreover, Li De was never even a member of the Comintern, his establishment was in the General Staff of the Soviet Army! At present, the General Staff of the Soviet Army still has to investigate and hold Li De accountable for ignoring organizational discipline and going to Shanghai on a mission and never returning, talking to himself for being a deserter for so many years!

As soon as these remarks came out, everyone was shocked -- the German advisory group immediately showed the expression of watching a monkey show, and the leaders of the Chinese Red Army were dumbfounded. And Li De, who was exposed to the painted skin, simply became angry and turned into a roaring emperor screaming and yelling. He also waved his fists to hit people, and only barely quieted down until he was pressed against his forehead and back by three barrels...... Then, after the traversers took Li De down and conducted a surprise trial in the small dark room next to the airport, and compared it with the statements of the Soviet comrades, they finally came to an even more shocking conclusion.

“…… Comrade Li De insisted that when he was performing official duties in Shanghai, he received a letter of appointment from Bogu as the 'Comintern Military Adviser in China,' and that was why he did not return to the General Staff Headquarters to resume his duties, but went to the Jiangxi Soviet District. However, the Comintern's version was that Bogu and Wang Ming reported to the Chinese Red Army that it was a lack of regular military personnel and wanted Li De to stay and help. As a result, the Comintern reluctantly agreed to allow Li De to remain in China as a 'volunteer' -- if you think about it, how can there be any reason in this world to send a private to a foreign country as a military adviser?

Hey, if what Li De said is true, then Bogu and Wang Ming really deceived the Comintern in Moscow, Comrade Li De who came to Shanghai, and the leaders of the Red Army in various base areas in China...... He played so many bigwigs in China and the Soviet Union all over the place, and even people as shrewd as Stalin gave them the black pot, and they deceived them for three years, and even Zuihou was not completely exposed -- it simply brought into full play our Chinese and deceived the officialdom skills of the superiors and subordinates, and it was really a loss not to defect to the Kuomintang......"

After the review was over, Wang Qiu came out and explained this to everyone, while the leaders of the Red Army in this time and space gasped in unison.

“…… This...... How can it be? We have obviously seen the telegram instructions from the Comintern to Li De in Ruijin! Chen Yi asked in disbelief.

“…… What's this...... According to the Soviet comrades, many of those 'Comintern telegram instructions' must have been false, or at least abridged—either Bogu himself was deceived in the Soviet zone, or Wang Ming, who was in Moscow, had deceived Bogu as well......," Wang Qiu replied.

“…… Uh, that is to say, in fact, in recent years, it was not the Soviets who sent Li De, a blind foreign adviser, that caused us to suffer, but our Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army itself was pitting itself? It was Wang Ming who privately pulled a foreigner as a guise to toss his comrades...... Oh my God! ”

Fang Zhimin, Su Yu, Qu Qiubai, Chen Yi and others were about to faint when they heard it, "...... Comrade Wang Ming's courage is too great! ”

“…… Alas, there is never anything in this world that cannot be done, only the unexpected! Comrade Fang Zhimin, you don't have to be too surprised, didn't Chiang Kai-shek just fool Sun Yat-sen with a fake diploma, and then became the principal of the Whampoa Military Academy? In our time, there were also many Western swindlers who came to remote places in China to pretend to be big bosses and investors, and went around eating and drinking, cheating money and sex......

Wang Qiu was a little surprised, but comforted him calmly, "...... Therefore, in these days, there will be fake advisers and fake cadres in the Red Army, and even these fake comrades do not know that they are fake, strictly speaking, it is also normal! Of course, in order to prevent the slightest problem from happening, I suggest that it is best to ask the Party Central Committee to take the opportunity to carefully check with the Soviet side how many of the comrades who have 'returned' from the Soviet Union in recent years are impersonating...... Hehe, there may be some comrades of the 'Comintern faction' who don't even know about their existence......" (To be continued......
