The sun never sets.

"Then let's talk about Comrade Political Commissar. He defeated seven people by himself?"

"Eight!"

"He defeated 8 of them by himself, and you two just......"

The door of the interrogation room was pushed open, and the police station chief said at the door: "Someone from their unit is here, let them sign and leave."

".......yes!"

The fight at the entrance of Donglaishun Hotel (determined by the police station) was a serious diplomatic incident. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs believed that the "Suppression Committee" had overstepped its bounds and demanded that the parties involved be dealt with severely. However, Comrade Stalin, the chairman of the Suppression Committee, was not a pushover and reported the matter directly to Lin Yongchang.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs was therefore warned not to interfere in the work of other departments. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs should just focus on diplomatic work and not resort to tricks such as using foreign powers to gain respect.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has always been a

The worst-hit area for spy cases, the Anti-Counterrevolutionary Committee has arrested many diplomats, and there has been a lot of friction between the two departments. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has been trying to put the Anti-Counterrevolutionary Committee on the spot whenever it has the chance. In fact, it is not just the Ministry of Foreign Affairs that does this. Many other departments, such as banks and the Ministry of Finance, are also disgusted by the Anti-Counterrevolutionary Committee's frequent arrests. Even if the people arrested are problematic, the banking system and the Ministry of Finance should be allowed to arrest them themselves.

However, no matter how many discontented voices there were, the position of the Pakuba remained unshakable. From Comrade Dzerzhinsky to Comrade Stalin, the Pakuba's jurisdiction was reduced somewhat, but it was still a powerful department of the alliance.

Lin Yongchang learned about what happened at the Donglaishun Hotel and first asked Comrade Trotsky if he had any problems. After hearing that Trotsky had not been beaten, he instructed that the case be “made light” and not reported in newspapers or other media.

"Give our comrades a few days off, and the leaders of the relevant departments can go to express their condolences on my behalf. They were beaten for their work, and they cannot let themselves be disheartened by the notification."

".......Yes, what about the comrades from abroad?"

"Who are they... Never mind. Let them recover from their injuries. The person who started it first will be expelled from the country and declared an unwelcome person in the alliance. He will not be allowed to enter the alliance's territory in the future... Xizi, what do you think of this approach?"

Yang Du smiled and said, "I think that's great. I'll just add one thing. The political commissar can be arranged to study at the Party School, and after the study is over, he can be assigned a more important job."

"Ok?"

"He beat down eight people with his bare hands. Civilize the spirit and brutalize the body. I think Comrade Political Commissar's physique is already good enough. As long as he can be more civilized in spirit, he can shoulder more important responsibilities."

"Civilize the spirit and brutalize the body". These two sentences were first proposed by Sun Yat-sen. Later, Lin Yongchang took them and used them. He was a believer in "take-it-and-use-it". As long as it is good, I can use it for my own benefit.

"Comrade Yang Du's words make sense, so let's do this!"

Lin Yongchang made a decision, "See when I am free recently and arrange for Comrade Trotsky to meet with me."

"Yes."

Chapter 784 Targeting

Trotsky was filled with anger. He was an important leader of the trade unions, a big shot who could influence the Anglo-French Alliance and the Central American Syndicalist Federation! But the Alliance was so unreasonable to him!

He wrote furiously, pouring out his dissatisfaction with the League on paper. Trotsky paid great attention to the People's Revolutionary League and spent more time collecting information on its policies and systems than other leaders in London and Paris. He believed that many of the policies implemented by the People's Revolutionary League were full of deception and were the real enemy of syndicalism.

Trotsky believed that the People's Revolutionary League must also be eliminated. After imperialism and capitalism were eliminated, it would be the turn of the Human Revolutionary League.

In Central America and in India, the trade unions and the Janata Party engaged in various overt and covert struggles, with the end result that the Janata Party almost completely withdrew from Central America and ceded the power to lead the People's Republic of India to the trade unions.

The People's Revolutionary League needed to maintain unity among the left-wing regimes, but the trade unions had no such concerns. In recent years, the rapid expansion of trade unionism around the world has led many people, including Trotsky, to believe that the great climax of the world revolution is coming and the red flag will soon be planted all over the world!

Trotsky wrote with great enthusiasm, and soon he wrote tens of thousands of words. His anger was poured into the critical article, and Trotsky gradually calmed down, looked at the manuscript he had just written, thought for a moment, then picked it up and put it aside, and wrote another one.

The Human Innovation Alliance is a heresy and must be eliminated eventually, but now is not the time. You can criticize the alliance, but you cannot push it to the opposite side of irreconcilable opposition, at least not now.

"Bang bang bang!"

There was a knock on the door and a staff member walked in. "Trotsky and the Night Raid Group: ⑥九四⑨, ３６一３５志, the Politburo Security Department has arranged for you to meet with Chairman Lin at the Weiyang Palace this afternoon. Please make some preparations first."

"This afternoon?"

"Yes."

Trotsky burned the first edition of the article, washed up, and put the second edition of the article in his pocket. After making preparations, he followed the staff to the center of Chang'an.

When he went there, Trotsky was full of confidence and wanted to convince these misguided people in the League with reason. Two and a half hours later, he came out of the Palace, his face changed from excitement to silence, and his spirit became depressed.

Trotsky had his own set of theories, and the League's writers were no pushovers either. The People's Revolutionary League went further in theoretical research than the syndicalists. Although the syndicalist revolution is now flourishing, in terms of state building, the French Commune cannot compare to the League, not to mention Syndicalist Britain and the Central American Syndicalist Federation.

In the debate in the Weiyang Palace, Trotsky was defeated miserably. He refused to admit his failure and was even capable of going to the countryside with a machine gun to collect grain. So what else could he not do?

However, Trotsky's main purpose in coming to Chang'an was not to engage in philosophical debate. He wanted to ask the League for more assistance.

Was rejected mercilessly.

Chairman Lin gave a clear reply that the Union could continue to sell grain to the People's Republic of India after the autumn harvest, but it had to pay for it. There would be no more free aid like before.

"The most important responsibility of the Union is to be responsible for the people of the Union and to ensure that the residents of the Union are free from the suffering caused by hunger, cold and disease. Indian affairs should be left to the Indian people to handle."

"If the Anglo-French alliance is willing to provide more support to the Indian people, the alliance can open railways and ports and charge less transportation fees at its discretion."

Trotsky was filled with resentment. What if the students didn't have enough food? Would it be a big deal if the peasants couldn't afford medical treatment? Why didn't these people understand that now was the time to do great things, so wasn't it right for the people to make more sacrifices?

These people in the alliance only know how to make their own calculations, but they don't know how to look at the big picture. Do you understand the grand narrative? What's the big deal if a few people starve to death? The alliance has a population of more than 7 million, so what if a few million or tens of millions of people starve to death?

Humph! Trotsky thought bitterly: We must find a way to change the incorrect value orientation of the League! Since the weapon of criticism doesn't work, we must resort to criticism with weapons!

The political structure of the alliance is problematic. This vast country, which has the largest land area in the world, relies heavily on Lin Yongchang's personal charm and ability. If Lin is gone, the conflict between Moscow and Chang'an will break out immediately.

Even with the two lifelines of the Trans-Siberian Railway and the Eurasian-Dalian Railway, Europe and Asia still did not become a whole. Chang'an and Moscow each had a leadership team, which was definitely not acceptable from the perspective of stability. Apart from religious policies, the alliance vigorously promoted the "same writing, same track" system, which was also opposed by Russian nationalists.

If it weren't for Lin Yongchang's pressure, the various contradictions within the alliance would explode in a minute. Trotsky saw this very clearly, and not only him, but many people saw this.

So, can we do something targeted?

If it succeeds, it's hard to say what will happen to Chang'an, but Moscow will most likely be pulled into the syndicalist alliance. This kind of thing must be done with caution, otherwise it will lead to a major diplomatic crisis.

After all, the current Anglo-French alliance still requires alliances.

In fact, Trotsky did not agree with the use of assassination, he preferred to launch a workers' uprising. But some comrades in the trade unions believed that as long as the goal could be achieved, it did not matter what the means were.

After returning from the Weiyang Palace, Trotsky thought for a long time and decided to ignore the matter. He wanted to focus on the world revolution and leave other matters to his comrades.

Chairman Lin refused to continue to provide free assistance to the People's Republic of India, but Trotsky was not discouraged. He planned to go to Weiyang Palace again tomorrow. With his eloquence, he might be able to convince the other party... right?

As a determined revolutionary, Trotsky would not give up after one or two failures. He had experienced many ups and downs, and the current situation was nothing.

Of course, he did not rely entirely on his eloquence, as he was not Comrade Vladimir Ilyich Lenin. In addition to trying to persuade the leaders of the League, Trotsky also carried out some other work, such as having long talks with Comrades Stalin and Pavlov.

Chapter 785: A sharp turn for the worse

Trotsky wanted to have a long talk with some old friends, but many people still regarded him as a plague god as before and were unwilling to deal with Trotsky at all.

The People's Party has strict discipline, and the Discipline Inspection Commission and the Anti-Counterrevolutionary Commission are no pushovers. Even if you haven't done anything illegal or disorderly, it's not a good thing to be targeted by various supervisory departments. They won't cause trouble for themselves unless necessary.

When Trotsky was working in Chang'an, it was October, the rainy season in India was about to end, and the fighting on the front line of Madhya Pradesh was becoming fierce again.

After receiving a large wave of assistance from the British and French alliance, the Indian People's Army launched a "final attack". As usual, the final attack failed to achieve decisive results, but bad news came out. The Indian Dominion in the northwest and the Royal Princely States Alliance in the south launched an attack on the People's Republic of India, and the situation on the Indian subcontinent took a sharp turn for the worse.

The Indian People's Army has a group of troops with fairly good combat effectiveness, and the volunteers from the Anglo-French alliance and Central America are also very combat-effective. They have achieved some results in the battle, but local tactical victories cannot cover up strategic failures.

Among the more than 400,000 to nearly 500,000 troops on the front line, except for a few elite troops, most of the troops had already lost their military discipline due to hunger and other reasons. Under the attack of the three enemies, the Indian People's Army suffered a series of defeats, lost several cities, and retreated all the way back to Bhopal.

Bhopal is the capital of Madhya Pradesh, India, and an important wheat-producing area. However, due to the war, Bhopal's wheat production dropped by half. The Indian People's Army looted some food during its retreat, and the rest fell into the hands of the Madras Republic Army, the Indian Dominion Army, and the Royal State Alliance Army.

India's roads were in poor condition, and the railways and bridges were all blown up, which made it extremely difficult for the Indian People's Army to attack. When it was the turn of the Madras Republic Army commanded by the Germans to attack,

They are also frustrated by the poor traffic conditions in Madhya Pradesh.

However, the Indian People's Army was at an absolute strategic disadvantage. Even though the poor transportation conditions bought them some time, they were now just waiting to be attacked in Bhopal.

The army of the Dominion of India marched into Uttar Pradesh, and the army of the Royal Confederation of Princely States advanced along the coastline of the Bay of Bengal, but the People's Republic of India did not have enough troops to resist these two enemies.

On the battlefield in Madhya Pradesh, the volunteers from the trade unions showed great fighting power, but their numbers were too small and there were problems with logistical supply, so no matter how strong their fighting power was, they could not bring it into play.

Not only the Indian People's Army suffered from the logistics problems, but also the German Army and the Republic of Madras. With the railways and bridges destroyed, everyone could only swing their legs on the muddy and dusty roads.

The reliability of German tanks was not as good as that of the Allied tanks, and it was even more difficult to repair them. The tanks deployed on the battlefield broke down one after another, and less than a quarter of the tanks could reach the city of Bhopal. However, relying on more than 40 tanks, the German army used the sickle blitz tactic to defeat the Indian People's Army troops outside the city and almost directly hit the city of Bhopal. If the Indian People's Army tank troops had not appeared.

The armored forces of both sides launched a tank battle near a village called Kahada, with hundreds of tanks fighting for more than three hours. The German army was inferior in both quality and quantity of tanks, but relying on better tactics, it forced the tank units of the Indian People's Army to leave the battlefield.

After the war, the German army urgently transported the captured Allied tanks to the rear, allowing engineers to test the Allied tanks. Many of the German tank units were initially produced by the Allied forces. When the relationship between the Allied forces and Germany became antagonistic, Germany and the Allied forces each embarked on their own path of developing tanks.

Although German generals believed in the technological strength of the German Empire, it was undeniable that the Alliance performed better in many aspects, such as the design and manufacture of warships, and the development of new tanks and transformable vehicles.

"The situation on the Indian battlefield is critical! I want to meet with Chairman Lin immediately!"

After Trotsky learned about the changes on the Indian battlefield, he wanted to meet with Lin Yongchang again. Lin Yongchang readily agreed to Trotsky's request, and the Political Security Department arranged the meeting place to be in Weiyang Palace again.

"The Indian People's Army can no longer resist!"

Trotsky had his own sources and knew that such things could not be concealed, so he came straight to the point, "If the League does not intervene immediately, Bhopal cannot be defended. If Bhopal is lost, Calcutta may also be lost."

Lin Yongchang was not panicked at all. He had expected a reversal in the Indian battlefield. With the BJP's style, the more territory it occupied, the greater the possibility of collapse. "The Anglo-French alliance can send more reinforcements to India."

"It's too late." Trotsky shook his head. "Before the National France is resolved, neither London nor Paris can send more volunteers. Because of the war in Central America, the Anglo-French alliance does not have the ability to do so for the time being."

Germany occupied parts of East and Central Africa, and National France occupied most of Africa, and they would not provide ports and syndicalists with their use.

"The alliance doesn't have any spare energy!"

"No, the Alliance has this strength!"

Trotsky waved his arms and said: "As long as the Central Asian Military District sends troops to Persia and then uses the navy to cut off shipping in the Red Sea, there is still room for recovery!"

Because of its rapid expansion, the Indian People's Army's combat effectiveness has declined a lot, but compared with the armies of the Madras Republic, the Dominion of India and the Indian Royal Princely States Confederation, it still has certain advantages.

What really worries the Indian People's Army is the German volunteers sent to India. If the Alliance can send troops to cut off the Madras Republic's land and sea foreign aid channels, the combat effectiveness of the German volunteers will be greatly weakened due to the lack of ammunition supplies. In this way, the warring parties will be back to the starting line.

The People's Republic of India had no heavy industry, and the same was true for the Madras Republic. Every shell fired had to be shipped from Germany. The Madras Republic could produce some bullets, but the quality seemed to be not very good, and the price was expensive, so it was better to ship them directly from Germany.

The German Empire was essentially no different from the collapsed British Empire. It supported puppet regimes in order to plunder resources and wealth to the greatest extent possible. Germany did not intend to build in India. Even if Germany had that idea, it would not have had enough time.

Therefore, the Madras Republic did not have the ability to fight a sustained war. The situation of the Indian Dominion and the Royal Confederation was even worse. If the ammunition they purchased was used up, they could only fight with bayonets.

Chapter 786 Suitable

In the eyes of the German military officers, the war in India was a low-level, dull battle. There was hardly a decent road in the interior of the country, and after the railways were stripped away, the German army had to struggle with mud every step forward.

During the retreat, the German officers led the Madras Republic Army to blow up all the bridges and railway stations. When the attack was launched, the Germans had to painfully rebuild the destroyed bridges and railways.

Destruction is much easier than construction. It is so satisfying to blow up bridges and railways.

Even though the German officers were experienced in the World War, they could not create railroad tracks out of thin air. The steel and machinery used to repair the road had to be shipped from Germany, which greatly delayed the speed and efficiency of the Madras Republican Army's counterattack.

The People's Republic of India lacked ammunition and food, and so did the Madras Republic. In order to maintain this puppet regime, the German government had to transport large quantities of food through the Suez Canal.

Food was not distributed to the people, but to the troops. Only by serving in the war could they have food to eat, which made the morale of the Madras Republic Army quite good, comparable to that of the Indian People's Army. As long as the supplies were in place, the puppet regime's army could also exert some combat effectiveness.

The German officer corps still believes that the Indian army is far from being a first-class army. But it is undeniable that the troops reorganized and trained by the German officer corps can still undertake some combat missions.

“Drip, drip, drip, drip, drip…”

The sound of telegraphs was heard from time to time in the tent. General Seckt paid no attention to the sounds around him. He automatically filtered out all the sounds and was thinking about the map. The Indian People's Army's generals had low command level and the soldiers' technical and tactical level was not high, but they had many powerful weapons, such as the Type 24 tank and various transformable vehicles, which caused great casualties to the German army on the battlefield.

Although the Indian People's Army's military discipline is almost gone, there are still many tough guys in this huge army, and they can resist the German attack for a while. As long as the battle enters a stalemate, India's poor transportation conditions will make the war go in the direction of a bad battle.

This happened many times during the rainy season. As long as the war became a wallow in the mud, the Indian People's Army could pull the German army to the same level, and then rely on the advantage of large numbers to obtain a more cost-effective exchange ratio.

Fortunately, two allies joined the war, which weakened the opponent's military advantage. Otherwise, the war would have to be fought.

"General!"

The staff officer interrupted Hans von Seeckt's thoughts and shouted: "The fleet has arrived at the port!"

Sekter looked up, "Then let's get started!"

Germany's supplies to India were loaded onto ships in Venice, and traveled across the Adriatic, Ionian, Mediterranean and Red Seas, through the Gulf of Aden and the Arabian Sea, before arriving in Mumbai.

The supply problem was the biggest problem that troubled General Sekt. Now that the supplies had arrived, he could launch an attack on Bhopal. According to the experience gained in the world war, the best way to attack a large city was to besiege it and starve the defenders into submission.

The second step is to mobilize a large number of heavy artillery and use fierce artillery fire to destroy the defensive positions in the city and undermine the morale of the defenders. This process may take a long time and cost a lot of casualties.

In the brutal city siege, miscellaneous soldiers are useless and will only be wasted in the meat grinder. Only elite troops that can fight hard battles can overwhelm the defenders in street fighting.

Seckt didn't care about casualties. Although every death of the German volunteers in his hands meant one less, he would not hesitate at all when it came time to send them out.

Now, it's time to send the elite troops.

The Chief of Staff suggested: "Should we send the Indians up first?"

Seckt rejected the chief of staff's suggestion, "We lack time. Opportunities like this one don't always come."

India's current situation is the result of a three-way game between Germany, the Alliance and the Anglo-French Alliance. Due to some political and economic reasons, the Alliance has temporarily adopted an indifferent attitude towards India. This situation may end at any time.

Hans von Seeckt had served as Chief of the General Staff for a period of time and had sources in Berlin. He knew that the German government had paid a great price to create the current situation. The Madras Republic Army and the National Volunteer Army were not ready yet, but that was how war was. There was never a time when one was fully prepared.

The German Volunteer Army's attack began with heavy artillery bombardment. Heavy grenades landed on the positions outside Bhopal. Amid violent explosions, orange flames shot up into the sky. The earth shook, and dirt mixed with wood chips and human body fragments flew into the sky and then fell down on their heads.
