"This Soviet Union seems to be... the original old man? Later, I don't know why it was called the Soviet Union. Could it be that the commander in their place is named Su Minglian? Or is it our old man Wei Shuai?"

"Then...it's right for Wei Shuai to defend the Lian Shuai (Soviet Union). It's just...who wants to trouble Lian Shuai and his old man now?"

"It seems to be Fengjun, right? I heard from the general surnamed Zhou who spoke at the mass meeting that it seems that someone in the middle of the road was taken away by Fengjun. He also said that this is a conspiracy by some empire or capital to attack the Soviet Union... said In fact, I can understand so much, the accents of those Su Weishuai's men are weird, they don't look like locals..."

"...Then, it is Feng Jun's Marshal Zhang who is going to attack Lao Maozi! Hey! It should have been done a long time ago, that Lao Maozi is really bad..."

"Hush, shut up! Shut up! Marshal Su of the Soviet Union is a good guy, not a bad guy from the past! And he is still the old man of our Wei Shuai..."

"Then... is Wei Shuai an old man, too?"

"probably……"

The slogan of "Defend the Soviet Union" that has been discussed a lot among the people in the market has just been freshly released by the CCP under the instructions of the Communist International in the past two days.And it's just a publicity in the Soviet area... Let's try the market reaction first, shall we?To be honest, the leaders of the CCP are only drumming in their hearts about this somewhat inexplicable slogan.If it weren't for the insistence of Borodin, the Soviet adviser, and Wang Ming and Hu Xun, who had just arrived in Datong, the slogan would not have been chanted all at once.

Shanhua Temple in Datong City now has a signboard of the Red Army Second Front Army Headquarters at the gate.In the past few days, the main leaders of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China have also gathered here to discuss how to implement or... deal with the instructions of the Communist International.In a corner of this ancient temple, two senior cadres of the Red Army in heavy cotton-padded clothes were walking slowly along the tall courtyard wall of the temple.

These two people are the two great gods of the CCP in history, Mao Zedong and Zhou Enlai.Zhou Enlai is now concurrently serving as the general political commissar of the Red Second Front Army, and this Datong City is his "site", and Mao Zedong just rushed here from the Lvliangshan Soviet Area in western Shanxi for a meeting.

Mao Zedong looked around and saw that the guards were following far behind, so he approached Zhou Enlai and said in a low voice, "Enlai, what do you think of this instruction from the Communist International?"

Zhou Enlai also looked around, and then smiled wryly: "This matter is really... The Communist International doesn't understand our difficulties at all, and makes us make things difficult. If this slogan is shouted nationwide, those who don't know the truth How could the masses understand it! Isn’t this pushing the masses towards the enemy!”

Mao Zedong gritted his teeth and sneered: "Do you think the Soviet Union and the Communist International don't know this truth? Don't Wang Ming and Hu Xun understand? Their slogan is probably not aimed at the enemy, but to rectify the Marxism in our ravines. who?"

Zhou Enlai was taken aback when he heard the words. To be honest, he was not as sensitive as Mao Zedong in terms of power struggles, and he never thought of this at all.He turned his head to look at Mao Zedong, and said after a while: "Run Zhi, you mean that Wang Ming and Hu Xun are going to use this matter to force us into the palace?"

Mao Zedong smiled heavily, and nodded lightly: "This is obvious. If we oppose this slogan, the higher-ups can justifiably remove us from our posts, and then... help people like Wang Ming and Hu Xun onto the stage. If we obey The Communist International ordered to defend the Soviet Union, so the cause of the party will inevitably be affected. At that time, we will still be unlucky on stage, and they can still replace us with the support of the international. What a ruthless calculation! In order to seize power Regardless of whether the situation created by the bloody sacrifices of our native revolutionaries will be..."

"Then what should we do?" Zhou Enlai's thick eyebrows were also tightly knit together unconsciously.

Speaking of Wang Ming and Zhou Enlai, he was not very familiar with him, but he knew Hu Xun.They were old acquaintances when they were in Europe, but Hu Xun at that time was more inclined to "nationalism" and Zeng Qi was a good friend.Unexpectedly, he would also embark on the road of revolution in the end, and Zhou Enlai was very impressed by his dark and sharp eyes... Thinking of those eyes full of hostility, Zhou Enlai suddenly felt a bad premonition.

Mao Zedong lit a cigarette, took a puff, and looked at the solemn Zhou Enlai: "Isn't the two parties cooperating now? Doesn't the Kuomintang have three major policies? Doesn't the three major policies include the alliance with Russia? So at this time During the incident, they should also stand with us and shout the slogan of defending the Soviet Union? Otherwise, wouldn’t they violate the three major policies?”

"Runzhi, are you saying that the Kuomintang should join us in defending the Soviet Union?" Zhou Enlai looked a little hesitant. If it was something else, the three major policies could still be discussed.But if it comes to this matter, can Sun Yat-sen agree?Does the so-called Prime Minister's three major policies count? Isn't it just a word from him?If this matter is used to force the Kuomintang, the two parties may break... In 1924, because Li Dazhao petitioned the Beiyang government to recognize Mongolia, it almost broke.Now that the Kuomintang is sitting on half of the country, and it seems that it has recently reached an agreement with the Germans to develop heavy industry, these wings are already as hard as steel plates.

Seeing Zhou Enlai's hesitant expression, Mao Zedong sneered: "Now that you and I are involved in military affairs, the matter of negotiating with the Kuomintang should naturally belong to the real Bolsheviks who stayed in the Soviet Union. If the matter succeeds, we will defend the Soviet Union together with the Kuomintang. No problem. Our party must benefit in the end... If the Kuomintang does not agree to defend the Soviet Union, it will definitely be on the verge of collapse. The Communist International certainly does not want to see such a situation, and someone will always be responsible Right? And someone needs to clean up the mess, right?"

……

When the matter of defending the Soviet Union came out, the most painful people in China were those cute leftists in the Kuomintang.Originally, the 20nd National Congress of the Kuomintang was just around the corner, but their leftists are now considered to have drawn up a [-] Nationalist coalition army, which can be described as strong and strong.With this amount of capital at the Second National Congress, we should be able to get a vice chairman (the new name of the bureau members) and two members of the Military Commission, and how many members of the Central Standing Committee?

But now the leftists of the Kuomintang are suddenly facing the crisis of life and death.As soon as the incident on the Middle East Road broke out, Liao Zhongkai, Deng Yanda and others knew that something was going to go wrong.Now there is another slogan of "defending the Soviet Union", and both the Soviet Union and the Communist Party have asked the leftists of the Kuomintang to follow up... How can this matter be followed?If you follow the leftists of the Kuomintang, you can't break up?

"Mr. Liao, the imperialists and reactionaries have united to launch a war against the Soviet Union! Now it is us leftist Kuomintang members, the real supporters of the Prime Minister, who stand up and hold high the banner of the three major policies and stand with the CCP. Time to defend the Soviet Union together! Don't hesitate any longer."

Xuan Xiafu stood in front of Liao Zhongkai with a livid face, eloquently talking to him about the party's policies and persuading him to join the camp of defending the Soviet Union.Although he himself disapproved of this slogan, as a loyal communist and... a leftist of the Kuomintang, he naturally had to obey the party's orders unconditionally.

Liao Zhongkai sat on the chair with a blank expression, didn't say a word, just listened blankly.I don't know where this thought has gone.The leftists of the Kuomintang are actually a center-left faction between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party. Most of their foundations are some members of the Kuomintang with left-leaning ideas, but... they have left-leaning ideas!If they put up the sign of defending the Soviet Union, it would be tantamount to forcing these people to choose between nationalism and internationalism.The result is self-evident. Those who choose nationalism will either join the right wing of the Kuomintang or mix with the Youth Party. Those who choose internationalism will of course become true communists.So what is left of him, Liao Zhongkai?What is left of the Kuomintang leftists?

"Sword Soul, don't force Mr. Liao! He is in trouble now!" Deng Yanda appeared in the room at some point, holding a copy of the telegram in his hand.

"Mr. Liao, this is a telegram from the Prime Minister. The No. 18 Division of the National Revolutionary Army is about to leave Ningxia. It will pass through Guanzhong and take the Longhai Line to Xuchang to be stationed. It will also be trained in Xuchang and equipped with new weapons...The Prime Minister requires our full assistance. "

"What? Then who is stationed in Ningxia?" Xuan Xiafu exclaimed, staring at Deng Yanda.He didn't know the news at all!If he doesn't know, it means that the territory of Ningxia is not given to the CCP, but to the Youth Party!In this way, the sites of the Youth Party and the CCP are close together, which means...another war!

Deng Yanda gently placed the telegram draft in front of Liao Zhongkai, and said with a wry smile: "Ningxia will take over the defense of the youth army... and some soldiers, weapons and ammunition that are unwilling to leave the [-]th Division will also be given to them. The [-]th Division is unarmed. Go to Xuchang, and then add a batch of elite and latest weapons from various divisions of the national army! I am afraid that this army will go to the northeast!"

Xuan Xiafu's heart skipped a beat, his legs softened, and he sat down on the sofa behind him.The Kuomintang actually wants to send a reorganization division to the Northeast!What are you doing there?Certainly not to defend the Soviet Union, in fact the Soviet Union did not need to defend, because no one was prepared to attack them.It is China that needs to be defended!And the Eighteenth Division of the Kuomintang seems to be doing this.It's just... this is actually defending the reactionary Feng Faction Center!Why can't the Kuomintang understand this truth?

"Mr. Liao, shall we let them... pass?" Deng Yanda ignored Xuan Xiafu who was dazed aside, but looked at Liao Zhongkai hesitantly.

Liao Zhongkai's face was livid, his eyebrows were frowned, he was thinking hard, and he hesitated for a long time before he said: "Sword Soul, can you Chinese Communist Party persuade the Soviet Union to agree to the national government to pay for the redemption of the Middle East Road! This... Isn't it already agreed in the "Sino-Russian Outline Agreement on Resolving Unsolved Cases"? Why can't it be implemented?"

……

Wang Jingwei is now asking the Soviet ambassador Zirnekh the same question.This somewhat unlucky Kuomintang boss was ordered by Sun Yat-sen to contemplate behind closed doors, and he has been thinking from Guangzhou to Wuhan.Now I finally managed to make it through, and after receiving Sun Yat-sen's order, I came to the Soviets with a check in my pocket to buy the Middle East Road.

He thought about the job quite simply.We paid 3000 million yuan to buy the Middle East Road, and the two countries reached an agreement in the 13th year of the Republic of China, stipulating that China can invest in the redemption of the railway.Now... there should be no problem, right?

Wang Jingwei took Chen Gongbo, Zhou Fohai and others to stay at the Liuguo Hotel in Dongjiaomin Lane, Beijing.As soon as I arrived at the Liuguo Hotel, I first met with Yang Yuting, Zeng Qi and others from the Feng Faction, and raised the issue that the National Government should pay for the redemption of the railway, and then the Feng Faction and the Ministry of Communications of the National Government would jointly operate it.The Feng Faction readily agreed, and said that it would be no problem even if the national government runs it alone!

After negotiating with the Feng family, Wang Jingwei confidently invited Ziernech to meet in the Liuguo Hotel to discuss the issue of buying the railway, but he did not expect...

Comrade Zirnekh, the "good boy", shook his head like a rattle drum, and his two beautifully trimmed mustaches were also raised high.Comrade Ambassador said in blunt Chinese: "Your suggestion is not feasible at all. Moreover...it does not conform to the "Sino-Russian Outline Agreement on Resolving Unsolved Cases", so the Soviet Union cannot accept it. In addition, we also hope that the Chinese Kuomintang can understand the situation clearly. , do not join the imperialists and reactionary capitalists against the Soviet Union."

Hearing what the other party said, Wang Jingwei was stunned again and again, and finally came to his senses, and immediately took the copy of the "Sino-Russian Outline Agreement on Resolving Unsolved Cases" from Chen Gongbo, and read it carefully.Then he frowned again, and politely proposed: "Mr. Ambassador, I read the agreement again just now. The second item of Article [-] stipulates that the Soviet government promised that China would redeem the Middle East Railway with Chinese capital." And all the property belonging to the road; and promised to transfer all the stocks and bonds of the road to China.' It is clear in black and white that a great and responsible country like the Soviet Union shouldn't go back on its word, right? "

Zirneh casually flipped through the copy of the agreement on the table, pointed to the second article, and said with a sneer: "The second article of the agreement stipulates that the governments of the two contracting parties agree to hold a meeting within one month after the signing of this agreement. The provisions of the following articles are to discuss and implement the detailed measures for all pending cases. The detailed measures should be completed as soon as possible, but in any case, no later than six months from the date of the start of the previous meeting.' And now This time limit has been exceeded, and the agreement has therefore been completely invalidated. Naturally, the Soviet Union has no obligation to abide by an agreement that has completely lost its effect!"

"But..." Wang Jingwei's eyes widened, as if seeing the true colors of the Soviets clearly for the first time in his life.He said in a calm voice, word by word: "This is what you have been delaying since the signing of the agreement and not holding a follow-up meeting! It turns out that this is how you play with the feelings of the Chinese people! You... these people and the former Tsarist Russia What's the difference? What right do you have to keep saying that you want to liberate all mankind! I'm afraid that your liberation of all mankind is to turn all mankind into slaves of your Soviet Russia!"

There was a snap.Zirnykh slapped the table hard, stood up, stared at Wang Jingwei fiercely and said: "Mr. Wang, please pay attention to your words! Every word you say now will make your Kuomintang pay a heavy price! Soviet Union Your majesty and honor are inviolable! I ask you to make a solemn apology to the Soviet Union for your words, otherwise the Soviet Union reserves the right to pursue it, and all consequences arising therefrom will be borne by your Kuomintang!"

"Hehe... What are the consequences?" Wang Jingwei smiled bleakly: "The big deal is that we will meet each other on the battlefield. But I also want to remind you that the Soviet Union is now surrounded by capitalism all over the world... If it really happened I am afraid that the whole world will support us when we go to war, so how strong is your country and can you be sure of victory?"

Zirnekh laughed loudly and said, "It's ridiculous that you still count on those weak capitalist countries! Just wait and see! See who will come to rescue you?"

Chapter 0311 Defending the Soviet Union ([-])

The air was cold, and Chen Duxiu's heart was also cold.In the conference room of the Southern Bureau of the Communist Party of China.Two young men from Moscow, representing truth and justice, stood proudly with their hands behind their backs.With their awe-inspiring spirit of inspiring words to point out the country, they stared coldly at the founder of the party, the former leader, and the current Secretary of the Southern Bureau standing in front of them.

Since Chen Duxiu was removed from the position of CCP leader by the Comintern and "exiled" to the Southern Bureau, his enthusiasm for work dropped to freezing point.As the supreme leader of the CCP, he has to obey the orders of the Communist International all the time, and he feels like a puppet of others.What makes people feel even more injustice is that all the major decisions of the CCP at that time were only implemented after the consent of the emperors of the Communist International.In the end, something bad happened, but he was used as a scapegoat, and he was dismissed from his post to criticize and fight every day... After doing countless in-depth inspections, he finally managed to get away with it.I was sent to the South Bureau to "care for the elderly", but I didn't expect that after just over a year, this trouble came to me again.

The two "troublemakers" are Wang Ming and Hu Xun, who became the new political stars of the CCP by shouting the slogan "Defend the Soviet Union".Now both of them look confident.

"The meaning of the Communist International and the Central Committee is to ask the Kuomintang to be consistent with us in this incident on the Middle East Road, and to respond to our party's proposition of defending the Soviet Union."

It was Wang Ming who said this. His current status is the special commissioner of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China. In the previous dynasty, he was the imperial envoy!But judging by his domineering appearance, he is almost like an imperial envoy on stage.

"What did you say!" Chen Duxiu couldn't believe his ears. He looked at the "imperial envoy" in front of him with an unbelievable expression, and was stunned for a while.

"The Communist International and the Central Committee also know that this task is difficult, so they asked us to find your old man." Hu Xun, who was standing beside Wang Ming, was a bit approachable now, smiled and nodded at Chen Duxiu, and continued Said: "This time the Feng Clan miscalculated the situation, thinking that they could use the aid of imperialism to challenge the Soviet Union, and the consequences would be devastating. Therefore, this incident is a rare opportunity for our party and the Kuomintang. Now, as long as the two parties unite and join the Northern Expedition with the aid of the Soviet Union, the reactionary Fengtian warlords will surely be overthrown and the national revolution will be completed. At that time, our party and the Communist International can support Sun Yat-sen as the leader of the coalition government, with such favorable conditions , presumably the Kuomintang will not refuse, right?"

After hearing this high-sounding discussion, Chen Duxiu felt even colder.Really want to turn around and leave.Do these scholars who came back from Russia really understand politics?Do you think everything can be done if you give it to the emperor?I don't even think about what Sun Yat-sen is doing now?He is the real emperor!In the thirteen provinces of the southern country, it is true that one promises everything. Such a master will be rare for your son emperor?

Looking at the two Bolsheviks who didn't know whether they were really stupid or pretending to be stupid, Chen Duxiu could only respond with a vaguely wry smile: "I already know what the two special commissioners mean. It's easy to handle. Right now, the KMT's center is basically dominated by rightists. They generally have some hostility towards the Soviet Union. Only Luo Yiqun and Luo Yaoguo's uncle and nephew are slightly to the left. How about I arrange for the two of you to meet Luo Yaoguo? What's the matter? If you can talk to him, if you can convince him, there is still some hope in this matter, otherwise forget it."

……

As soon as the car door opened, a young national army general stepped out, and accompanied by a younger lieutenant colonel adjutant, he strode into a small three-story western-style building by the East Lake in Wuhan.This young man is none other than Luo Yaoguo.

These days, Luo Yaoguo was determined to finalize several major projects for Sino-German cooperation, and in addition to making arrangements for sending troops to fight against the Soviet Union.This dispatch of troops is the first combat mission after the reorganization of the National Revolutionary Army, and there is no room for loss, and the opponent it faces is an unprecedentedly powerful enemy.Therefore, we must be fully prepared. There are so many affairs, it is not just talk.The entire national army was extremely busy.

First of all, the soldiers of the Eighteenth Division had to be replenished. Before they were transferred from Ningxia this time, a group of Ningxia officers and soldiers who were unwilling to leave their hometown were allowed to quit the active service of the national army and join the youth army.Therefore, the total strength of the 5000th Division that arrived in Xuchang was only about [-], and it was necessary to recruit elites from each division to supplement them.

Secondly, in order to ensure that this dispatch of troops can achieve better results, Luo Yaoguo also proposed to the Military Commission to mobilize some new arms that are still under test or under construction to participate in the war.For example, the Tank Brigade, Heavy Artillery Brigade, and Scout Brigade under the Teaching Corps of the Central Military Academy were temporarily assigned to the No.18 Division.Among them, the chariot brigade is equipped with 24 French Renault FT-17 tanks, which are now being fiddled with by the German military adviser Major Guderian, er, the founder of the Blitzkrieg.He used to work in the Transport Department of the German Army, and An Sihua and An Sihua were classmates in the military school.The heavy artillery brigade is equipped with 24 German 1917-type 150mm heavy field howitzers assembled with imported parts. This howitzer is planned to be localized in 1928 and will be named the Min-18 heavy-duty field howitzer.In addition, in order to provide air cover for the No.1 Division, the National Army's only fighter brigade, the First Fighter Brigade equipped with [-] Italian-made CR.[-] fighter jets, was also transferred to participate in this dispatch.
