Republic of China game

Luo Yaoguo came up with this method after thinking for a long time.It is simply unrealistic to rely on the Feng faction to defend the Northeast. Their poor performance in the Middle East Road War has proved that they are genuine paper tigers.It is easy for the Japanese to launch an incident to destroy them.Moreover, there must be many spies inserted by Japan inside the Fengjun, and even Luo Yaoguo suspected that some of the Fengjun's high-level officials might be Japanese in disguise!It seems that with Japan's penetration of the Northeast and its control over the Feng Clan, it is not difficult to achieve this.

Since the Feng family cannot be counted on, it can only be defended by the power of the Kuomintang or the Communist Party.In contrast, the Communist Party seems to be more suitable. Now there are two evil neighbors who are eyeing tigers and tigers next to the northeast.If the power of the Kuomintang comes in, it will inevitably be attacked by the enemy. At that time, the two powerful countries will be sandwiched between the north and the south, and the consequences will naturally be self-evident.But the Chinese Communist Party is different. As long as the Soviet Union supports them in occupying the Northeast, even if they don’t help them, they won’t join forces with Japan to carve it up... If they do that, will they still need the signboard of communism?

After hearing Luo Yaoguo's proposal, Zhou Enlai's eyebrows gradually relaxed.In an instant, countless thoughts turned in Zhou Enlai's mind, the Northeast is much better than the poor valley in the Northwest!The land is fertile, the resources are abundant, and the population is dense.It is definitely an ideal base for establishing hegemony!If the CCP gets the Northeast, it will be enough to compete with the Kuomintang!If they dared to betray the prime minister's three major policies... but does Luo Yaoguo really have that much power?Will the Kuomintang Central Committee agree to this plan?

"Brother Enlai, as long as the Communist International can support this plan, you don't have to worry about the Kuomintang. Is there anything more worthy of credit than being able to win Beijing and make Prime Minister Sun the president of our country? How can I convince you? What about the princes in the party?" Probably seeing Zhou Enlai's worry, Luo Yaoguo stood up and said solemnly to Zhou Enlai:

"My concern is that the Comintern will veto this plan. Stalin may very well want to carve up China with Japan! He is not a real Bolshevik! He is not a real internationalist either! He is a completely selfish people like me So I understand his thinking, his ideal is not to liberate all mankind...but to rule all mankind!"

……

Entering May, Moscow, which is located at a high latitude, has finally begun to enter spring.The sun shone brightly for several consecutive months, and the white snow that had been covered for several months began to melt slowly, and patches of emerald green began to appear in every corner of the city.But now the citizens of Moscow don't feel much spring.Trotsky, the former revolutionary leader and Lenin's closest comrade-in-arms, has now been expelled from the party, and the whole country is shrouded in the red terror of liquidating Trotskyists.At the same time, the once powerful and invincible Soviet Red Army was defeated by a weak country again!And just after a defeat, another war with the mighty Japanese Empire is coming one after another!That is the country that once defeated the powerful tsarist army!A very bad premonition has appeared in the hearts of all Moscow citizens, and even all Soviet citizens, but no one dared to express it, except those Trotskyites who refused to admit defeat...

The guy in the Kremlin isn't feeling so well now either.The news of Japan's declaration of war had just reached his desk.I don't know when this sudden war will last, and what will be the result?Although Stalin looked confident on the surface, but in his heart, to be honest, he really had no foundation!An army that has just been severely repaired by the Chinese White Army is now going to face the extremely brutal Japanese invaders!Who can have confidence in such a thing?

Looking at the Siberian railway line encircling northeast China on the map, Stalin felt a headache.There are almost 2000 kilometers of railway lines that are close to the Chinese border. As long as a Japanese army team successfully crosses the border, it can blow up a section of railway.If there is a heavily armed Japanese army coming across the border of Manchuria, China, the entire Siberian Railway line will be completely interrupted... Then all the troops deployed in the Far East coastal area will lose their logistical supply lines!What good end can an army without logistics have but to be annihilated?If the Soviet Union under its own leadership loses Vladivostok, the entire Far East coast, and Sakhalin Island, can this top spot in the Kremlin still sit?

Thinking of this, Stalin couldn't help picking up the crushed telegram copy from the wastebasket next to the desk, and spread it out on the table.This is a secret telegram from the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China transmitted by the Communist International, which put forward a proposal that made it difficult for Stalin to make a choice.It says that the Kuomintang may help the CCP seize the Northeast, and in exchange, the CCP only needs to give up a few barren Soviet areas such as Suiyuan, Northern Shaanxi, Eastern Longong, and Northwestern Shanxi.At the same time, he supported the leader of the Kuomintang, Sun Yat-sen, as the president of China.

If the CCP gains the Northeast, will the Soviet Union's Far East coastal area be able to sit back and relax?But how would Japan view such a result?They regard Manchuria as their lifeline!If the Soviet Union helps the CCP to get Manchuria, it will put the Soviet Union and Japan in an irreconcilable position... A truly cruel war is very likely to be staged between China, Japan and the Soviet Union!In this way, the Soviet Union is likely to be seriously injured.

On the other hand, will China, which has basically completed national reunification and stopped internal friction, just rise?Now the national government that only unified the southern half of the country is already so difficult. If they get more than half of China, plus the northwest is controlled by the youth party that is pro-nationalist... and the northeast is half nationalist, half It is controlled by the communist CCP.I'm afraid it will take less than ten years for this country to return to being a first-class power, right?At that time, it won't be that the Far East coastal area will have no peace!

"Ugh……"

Stalin picked up the pipe, put it in his mouth and took a sharp puff, then exhaled circles of white smoke.Standing up and stepping on the fluffy carpet to the window, I carefully calculated:

"Now that the Soviet-Japanese War has broken out, the Soviet Union and Japan may not be able to interfere with the construction of South China for a long time in the future. According to intelligence, they have now started a series of large-scale cooperation projects with Germany. With Germany’s technology plus China’s almost endless labor force, as well as its vast land and abundant resources. Once this country becomes strong, the threat to the Soviet Union will be far greater than that of Japan! After all, Japan is an island country with only 7000 million people Population. And Japan also has the third largest navy in the world. It is obvious that maintaining such a large sea power is not to invade the Soviet Union, or even China, but will go south in due time. The threat of this country to the Soviet Union seems to be It is much smaller than a stronger China."

The disastrous defeat in the first battle of Zhalainuoer did make Stalin realize the potential threat of China!The patriarch Marx and the leading brother Lenin have already analyzed the nature of capitalism very thoroughly.Capitalism is inherently expansive and aggressive, especially in a large country like China, which has an overpopulation but a relative shortage of arable land and resources.In the current world where the weak are preying on the strong, once they become strong, they will definitely embark on the road of aggression and expansion!And who will they expand to?

Stalin followed the Marxist thought and continued to think: "China can only expand in two directions: northward and southward. To go south is to annex the British and French colonies in Indochina, and there is a country called Siam. China does not have a strong navy now. They The pace of expansion to the south is estimated to have come to an end. As for the north... First, it should be Turkestan, they have now occupied it! Then it should be the Republic of Mongolia! These Chinese people have insisted that Mongolia is part of them until now! In the end, I am afraid that it will be Central Asia and Siberia of the Soviet Union? They have such a large population, and there is no way to resolve this pressure with a small Indochina alone. The only way out is to go north! Capture the Republic of Mongolia and Central Asia of the Soviet Union, Siberia, and of course the Far East."

Thinking of this, Stalin went back to his desk, picked up the draft telegram sent by the Comintern, tore it to shreds...then picked up a pen from the pen holder and began to draft a reply to the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China:

"...The Central Committee of the Communist Party of China clearly has two major mistakes, right opportunism and right capitulationism! Trying to cooperate with the rightists of the Kuomintang to seize Manchuria is a concentrated expression of these two mistakes! The Chinese Communist Party has never followed the Communist International Instructions from the Kuomintang, that is, to join the Kuomintang, reform the Kuomintang from within, and make it revolutionary and Bolshevik. Instead, they chose the wrong line of focusing on cooperation outside the party and cooperating with the rightists of the Kuomintang to gain base areas. Recent facts have proved that they have given up It is absolutely impossible to complete China's national revolution, let alone complete China's proletarian revolution, by choosing only a single method of struggle, such as military struggle, instead of fighting against the rightists of the Kuomintang."

"...Under the current circumstances, the Chinese Communist Party and the Red Army should not abandon their existing base areas and go to Manchuria for development. Because Manchuria is not an ideal revolutionary base area, the most ideal revolutionary base area in China can only be Sichuan! The Communist International believes that Sichuan Province is the weakest counter-revolutionary force in China and the province that is most likely to be controlled by the Red Army. Moreover, there are troops sympathetic to the revolution and inclined to the revolution near Sichuan. The CCP can unite with them and enlist their help. In Sichuan or near Sichuan Start an uprising and take this difficult landlocked province."

"...At the same time, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China must deeply review the mistakes of right opportunism and right capitulationism. It must pay attention to the cultivation and selection of cadres who are from the working class or have rich experience in the labor movement, and make them the core of the party's leadership .Because in the future, the working class in southern China will expand rapidly. In the near future, there will be tens of millions of machine workers, construction workers, or working class in the transportation industry in southern China. Only by uniting these working classes and leading them into vigorous anti-imperialist (mainly Chinese imperialism!) and anti-feudal movements.”

"...Finally, the Chinese Communist Party cannot participate in any bourgeois government. Whether it participates in a bourgeois government or not is the main difference between the Communist Party and the working-class traitor Social Democratic Party! The current national government is clearly a bourgeois government. They represent interests of the newly rising Chinese monopoly capitalist class. Therefore, any cooperation with this government is a betrayal of the working class!"

A call back after writing a long text, or instructions.Stalin slowly put down his pen and leaned his body against the back of the chair.His eyes returned to the huge military map hanging on the opposite wall, and he began to think about how to deploy the [-] troops in the Far East.

Chapter 0332 the Japanese-Soviet War (eight) is a disservice

Thinking of going to war with the powerful Japanese imperialism, Stalin couldn't help but blame those damn Koreans!Armed defense of the USSR is just a slogan!Slogan, just shout it... How did you really go to assassinate the Emperor of Japan?Besides, the stabbing is just stabbing, but after the stabbing is over, the whole world is still shouting!He also publicly declared that he had accepted the instigation of the Communist International... Do these guys have a sense of secrecy?Now that's all right, one assassination, one more yelling, how could those Japanese devils not declare war?This is a slap in the face!If it weren't for the declaration of war, the Japanese would be ashamed to see others in the world... It's just that I, the leader of the world revolution, and the greatest Marxist-Leninist of our time have suffered!This kind of thing that wipes the ass of the world revolution has to be done by the Soviet people!It seems that this slogan can no longer be yelled at will.

Stalin shook his head, smiled bitterly, and picked up the phone: "I am Stalin, and I will inform Voroshilov, Tukhachevsky, and Budyonny to come to the Kremlin immediately. I want to see them."

Not long after, the three leading figures of the Soviet Red Army rushed to Stalin's office, and each of them stood respectfully and saluted Stalin.

Stalin also nodded with a smile, looking peacefully at the three standing in front of him.Voroshilov was still charming and honest.Budyonny has an exaggerated high mustache... At first glance, he looks like an outdated figure. Wouldn't it look like sitting on the throne of the great leader of the Soviet Union?This Tukhachevsky was... aristocratic, with a standard military posture, tall and handsome, especially those eyes full of wisdom and sharpness, which looked a bit like the eyes of Lenin and Trotsky!Be careful with this guy.

Stalin stood up, went forward and shook hands with the three Red Army generals, pointed to a row of sofas beside the desk, and said with a smile, "Sit down and talk." Next to the huge military map on the wall, pointing to Vladivostok on the map: "Vladivostok and Sakhalin (Sakhalin) North Island, these two places must be the site of this Japanese imperialist invasion The main goal! Since the time of the Tsar, we have continuously built various forts and fortifications in Vladivostok. Now it is the most difficult fortress in the world. I believe that as long as there are enough troops Defend it...the Japanese devils will not be able to knock it down even with the last drop of blood!"

Speaking of this, Stalin frowned slightly, and pointed the baton in his hand at Sakhalin Island again: "But I found that the defense of our Sakhalin North Island is very worrying. Japanese imperialism has the world's No. The three major naval fleets, and the South Island of Sakhalin is still in the hands of Japan! If they attack the North Island of Sakhalin using the joint sea and land combat mode, with our current strength there, can we hold it?"

Hearing Stalin's question, Tukhachevsky, chief of staff of the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army, immediately stood up and answered: "Comrade Stalin, the Staff of the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army believes that the Far East Front Army is currently not strong enough to defend all important targets, so we want to give up for now. Sakhalin Island. Deploy the main force in the easternmost section of Vladivostok and the Siberian Railway, in order to defend the back of Vladivostok and mobilize troops in time to counter the Japanese invaders in the coastal area Launched a landing operation. As for Sakhalin Island, after reinforcements arrive..."

"No! You can't give up Sakhalin! Not even an inch!" Stalin rudely interrupted Tukhachevsky's speech. A plan to abandon Sakhalin can be drawn up! Don’t you know that the main target of the Japanese this time is the oil fields on Sakhalin? And... don’t you know that Sakhalin is a Islands? And our Red Navy is so weak, if Sakhalin Island is completely occupied by the Japanese, how do you plan to regain it? Swim the Strait of Tartar or walk across the ice in the coldest winter? "

Tukhachevsky frowned, and nodded slightly: "Our plan is to wait until winter, when the ice in the Strait of Tartar is the thickest around Christmas, let the infantry walk over the ice to counterattack Sa Harlem..."

"But before that, the Japanese had more than half a year to consolidate the defenses on Sakhalin Island! Moreover, the ice-covered period of the Strait of Tartar was only a short period of two months, and not every day in these two months It is safe to pass. Comrade Tukhachevsky, do you think that the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army can retake the entire Sakhalin Island in less than two months? How difficult is it for the enemy to attack inside the strong fortifications? If our army cannot end the war before the sea thaws...then they have to retreat in despair!"

Stalin's face became more and more ugly, and the livid face was almost black.In his opinion, the land advantage of the Soviet Union is huge. Even if the entire Far East coastal area is lost, as soon as reinforcements from the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army arrive, it will not take long to regain it all.But Sakhalin is different, it is an island after all!Although the sea is frozen for more than two months in a year, it is possible to drive a car on it.But that is only two months... If Sakhalin is abandoned now, the Japanese will have seven months to consolidate the defense of Sakhalin.

"But... Comrade Stalin, our Far Eastern Front now has only 10 people. And we need to allocate some troops to protect the railway line to Vladivostok. That railway surrounds the border of Manchuria, where the The situation is really too complicated, and any accident may happen..." Tukhachevsky just poured out his bitterness with a sad face. To be honest, Stalin's words are also very reasonable. Once Sakhalin Island is captured by the Japanese army, the It's really not that easy to get it back.But if you don't give up Sakhalin now, then the Far East will not have enough troops?

As soon as Tukhachevsky's reasoning was presented, there was a sudden silence in the room.The current problem can be said to be one, the lack of troops, it is too insufficient! 10 people have to defend thousands of kilometers of railway lines, thousands of kilometers of coastline, and the two important places of Sakhalin and Vladivostok!

The air in the room was as dead and silent. Stalin, Voroshilov, Tukhachevsky, and Budyonny, the four of them looked at each other, and everyone looked helpless.

I don't know how long it took, but the honest and dull Voroshilov broke the silence: "Comrade Stalin, I have a suggestion. In fact, we don't need to fortify everywhere to ensure the safety of the railway line. The most important thing is to block the Sino-Soviet The border area. And the blockade of the border does not have to be on the Soviet side...it can also be on the Chinese side. Now the Chinese Red Army can control a large number of areas on the Sino-Soviet border, as long as they help us block the border at that end, the Far East Red Army Wouldn't it be possible to save a lot of troops to strengthen the defense of Sakhalin Island?"

……

Japan in the late 20s.After decades of militaristic education and the accumulation of national power, the country is now more or less a resolute and efficient war machine.When the explosion sounded outside the Sakurada Gate, the Soviet Union was still caught off guard and in chaos, but Japan's war system began to operate rapidly at the first time.

On the day when Japan and the Soviet Union declared war, the Vladivostok Expeditionary Army Command was established in Hiroshima, Japan.The commander is General Nobuyoshi Muto, former commander of the Kwantung Army of Japan.

The first batch to be incorporated into the Vladivostok Expeditionary Army was the famous Second Sendai Division and the Eighth Hirosaki Division, both of which are one of Japan's seventeen standing divisions.Among them, the Second Division is the most powerful unit in the Japanese army. It once performed well in the Sino-Japanese War and the Russo-Japanese War, so it was code-named "Yong".The code name of the Eighth Division is "Sugi", and the soldiers of this division come from the coldest region in the northernmost part of Japan.In history, because of the harsh cold-resistant training, 199 people were killed in the snow march in Hakkoda, and [-] people were frozen to death!I don't know how many people will freeze to death when they go back to the Soviet Far East to fight?

The wharf of Ujina Port in Hiroshima was full of freighters and merchant ships, all of which were dispatched urgently.

The pier was full of neatly lined up Japanese soldiers in khaki military uniforms. These short, stocky Japanese soldiers carried rifles and knapsacks on their shoulders, waiting in line silently.There were billowing caps and bayonets everywhere.When the proud officers met each other, they all greeted each other with a murderous "long-lasting martial arts".On the pier, there was a murderous atmosphere.

"Muto-kun, I wish you a long life..."

Standing on the roof of the Vladivostok Expeditionary Force Command where you can see the pier, Japanese Prime Minister Yoshiichi Tanaka bent slightly to Nobuyoshi Muto, who was beside him, and said with a serious expression: "This conquest of Russia is about the rise and fall of the imperial country. Gentlemen, fight hard, and don't let the great achievements created by Emperor Meiji be ruined in the hands of our generation!"

Muto Nobuyoshi hurriedly bent down to return the salute solemnly, and said: "I am determined to live up to the great trust of Your Majesty and the people, and will definitely let the Soviet Union bow at the feet of the Imperial Army."

Tanaka Yoshiro nodded and smiled: "Muto-kun, do you think this battle will go well?" Although he was asking, there was a confident smile on his face, as if he had already answered the question.

Nobuyoshi Muto was silent for a while, and finally replied: "The Soviet Union lacks troops in the Far East, and it is not difficult to defeat them...Your Excellency, I am worried that the Soviet Union will not let it go after the initial defeat. With their national strength, if..."

"A protracted war?" Tanaka Yoshiichi asked softly.

Japan has a small territory and poor resources, and has always been the last one unwilling to fight a protracted war.Yoshiichi Tanaka, who is proficient in strategy, naturally knows this very well.Fortunately, in this war between Japan and the Soviet Union, Japan received the support of Britain, the United States, France and other powers.After all, the Soviet Union's support for the assassination of the Japanese emperor by the Korean Communist Party also terrified these imperialist countries.Now it is the Communist Party of Korea that is throwing bombs at the Emperor of Japan, but will it be the Communist Party of India that is throwing bombs at the King of England in the future?Could it be that the Communist Party of the Philippines wants to bomb the President of the United States?Or that the French Prime Minister was assassinated by the Communist Party of Vietnam?Such assassinations and terrorist incidents have indeed touched the bottom line of tolerance of various countries, and the socialist system of the Soviet Union has also been hated by imperialist powers.Several factors were superimposed, and a large number of strategic materials from Europe and the United States were re-exported through Shanghai (to avoid the neutrality laws of various countries), and were finally shipped to Japan.

Nobuyoshi Muto nodded and sighed softly: "Your Excellency, the early victory of the imperial army is undoubtedly, but you must make good use of these victories to end the war as soon as possible. If you really wait until the Soviet army continues to be transferred from Europe When we come, if we want to end the war with dignity, I'm afraid..."

"Then, the most important thing is to prevent the Soviet Union from using the railway to quickly mobilize reinforcements!" Tanaka Yoshihito glanced at the northwest sky and muttered to himself.

……

"This...how is this possible!"

Zhou Enlai sat in front of the desk, holding a telegram sent by the Communist International to the CCP in his hand, and carefully read it over and over again.This is Comrade Stalin's highest instruction. He actually vetoed the plan of the CCP and the Kuomintang to cooperate to seize the Northeast!And also instructed the CCP to go to Sichuan to launch an uprising... Isn't this just asking the CCP to provoke a civil war with the Kuomintang?

Now the KMT's rule in southern China has stabilized. Although land conflicts are still very prominent, the people's living standards are indeed gradually improving.In particular, the lives of the people in Sichuan have been greatly improved. The Kuomintang has now exempted Sichuan from the land tax for three years, eliminated and expelled the warlords who had caused Sichuan for many years, and divided troops to suppress bandits, eradicate tobacco seedlings, and strictly prohibit opium. Relatively stable environment.In this case, go to Sichuan to launch an uprising, especially relying on Liu Wenhui and Deng Xihou, warlords who have plagued Sichuan for many years, to uprising!This...how could it be successful?Did Stalin really have malicious intentions in doing this?Want to share China with Japan...!

Thinking of this, Zhou Enlai's hands trembled, and the copy of the telegram fell to the table.Then look at the face of the Great God of the Communist Party of China, which is almost black, and his thick eyebrows are tightly knit into a ball.

"Comrade Enlai, do we... want to review our mistakes with the International?" Liu Shaoqi, who was sitting opposite Zhou Enlai, already knew the contents of the telegram, and his face was also grim, but he was more relaxed than Zhou Enlai.
