235 Spoils Sharing Club (7)

Since Trotsky was in charge of negotiating with the BJP, he and some of his comrades did a lot of homework, such as searching the vast archives of Moscow. Having seen quite a few brutal Russian orders for expansion in the East, Trotsky was not too surprised by the Hylando massacre. The tsar always had the idea of creating a yellow Russia, which was nothing more than an executive policy. If there was anything that surprised Trotsky, it was the rise of the People's Party in China.

When China fell into the catastrophe, the Chinese revolutionaries suddenly rose up with such a swift gesture to save the country, and the trend of sliding China into the abyss was abruptly halted there. Had it not been for seeing the results of this fruitful effort, Trotsky would have thought that this was merely a Chinese dream.

But now that China has begun to reverse its decline, the surrounding countries that once dared to treat China with arrogance are clearly feeling that life is sad. For example, Zhang Yu cited the example of the massacre carried out by Russia, which will inevitably lead to a full-scale war between any great powers, and China and Russia are no exception.

So Trotsky calmly asked: "I wonder who the People's Party thinks is responsible for this?" ”

Zhang Yu replied: "From the point of view of our People's Party, this is our own responsibility. We have not fulfilled our duty to defend the land and defend the country, which is why we will be slaughtered by our compatriots. So no matter what, we have to regain the land that China has lost, and then firmly hold on to China's land. ”

The meaning of these words could not be clearer, and the BJP has firmly stated that it will not make the slightest concession on the issue of the border line.

Trotsky knew that it was impossible to influence the attitude of the BJP on the question of China's northward movement, and since that was the case, it was a different question to be discussed. "If you insist on going north, then you will be right about Kolchak, but I don't know what your plans are."

Zhang Yu frowned slightly, "Comrade Trotsky, haven't you noticed that the reason why we have repeatedly negotiated with you on this issue is because we firmly believe in one thing, the Russian Communist Party will win the war of liberation in Russia. Will you be the winner? If we are not firm enough, then why should we bother with you about it? ”

Trotsky was stunned, this was actually the point that Comrade Lenin had put forward to the Central Committee of the Russian Communist Party before his trip. Comrade Lenin predicted that the People's Party firmly believed in the victory of the Russian Communist Party, so the People's Party wanted to establish relatively friendly relations with the Russian Communist Party. The Russian Communist Party did not quite agree with Comrade Lenin's prediction, but did not expect that Comrade Lenin's prediction would be fulfilled again.

Ignoring Trotsky's silence, Zhang Yu continued: "The reason why we want the Russian Communist Party to talk about this issue again and again is because we hope that when the Russian Communist army enters the East in the future, the two sides have already agreed on the question of the border line. At that time, there will certainly be a lot of minor friction between the two sides over the details of the border, but at least there will be no full-blown conflict in the general direction. Once again, I stress that we want to take back only the territory that Russia has taken away, and we do not want a senseless war with the Russian Communist Party because of the coveting of Russian territory. That's worthless. ”

After Zhang Yu's explanation, Trotsky finally connected the internal logic of these statements of the People's Party. No matter what kind of concerns the Russian Communist Party has, if we look at the attitude of the People's Party from the words and language expressions that have always been there, the internal logic is always the same.

The People's Party believed in the inevitability of the victory of the Russian Communist Party, and was also determined to regain the lost territory at all costs. Before a full-scale conflict breaks out with the Russian Communist Party, the People's Party still wants to reach an agreement with the Russian Communist Party on this issue in the form of negotiations.

Whether it is the railway to Outer Mongolia, or the collection and summary of historical materials that can motivate the people to the greatest extent by the People's Party, all kinds of medicines, including the "Miracle Pills", and even the discussions between the People's Party and the Russian Communist Party. All preparations for war are being carried out step by step. If an agreement with the Russian Communist Party can be reached, the BJP will be able to get the territory they want at the lowest cost. Even if the negotiations are unsuccessful, the BJP can do so unilaterally once preparations have been made.

Faced with such a calculating opponent, Trotsky suddenly became very puzzled. According to the information, Chen Ke was born in 1880. Trotsky was a year older than Chen Ke, and most of the core leaders of the BJP were younger than Trotsky. No matter how you look at them, they shouldn't be such a group of people. Are Easterners inherently more long-term than Westerners? Trotsky even had such a feeling that it was completely inconsistent with the basic theory of Marxism.

The meeting was temporarily rested, and Trotsky, citing the need for a rest, offered to continue negotiations two days later. Zhang Yu didn't press forward step by step, he immediately agreed.

Trotsky and the delegation of the Russian Communist Party had a comprehensive discussion of the current situation, and the basis of the discussion became that "the People's Party sincerely supports the Russian Communist Party, as they say", but another derivation appeared in the sandbox that surprised the Russian Communist delegation.

Even if the People's Party is not hostile to the Russian Communist Party, it has no subjective malice towards Russia. However, once the Russian Communist Party and the People's Party reach a new border treaty, then it will become that every time the Russian Communist Party attacks Kolchak, it objectively helps the People's Party to reduce the pressure on the People's Party to go north. The People's Party does not even need to go north earlier than the Russian Communist Party, as long as it waits until the Russian Communist Party begins to advance into Siberia and the Far East, the People's Party can be the last to arrive and reach the border agreed upon by the two sides. Everything the Russian Communist Party has done is contributing to the People's Party.

However, if the Russian Communist Party is unable to destroy the White Army under Kolchak, then it means that the Russian Communist Party itself has not yet won the victory of the Russian Revolution, and then the People's Party has a lot of time to calmly prepare for the march.

So on the whole, the Russian civil war itself is the basis for the People's Party's profits, and the more brutal the civil war, the more advantageous the People's Party will be. In order to end the brutal civil war in Russia as soon as possible, it is difficult for the Russian Communist Party to refuse to cooperate with the People's Party. Cooperation with the Russian Communist Party can precisely ensure the profits of the People's Party to the greatest extent.

"Chen Ke, this person is a demon!" At the end of the deduction, Trotsky exclaimed angrily. Unless the People's Party collapses suddenly, as in the case of the German regime, this is the end of a "counting money in a sack" that the Russian Communist Party cannot avoid.

Comrade Berkov could only sigh, there was no point in being angry. When the authorities have reached this point, they can only pinch their noses and admit it. In fact, according to the information that Comrade Berkov obtained, didn't the People's Party also make no profit at the Paris Peace Conference and returned home in disgrace.

Of course, judging from Chen Ke's virtue, he must have done something more far-reaching. Even if there is no actual proof, Berkov is still so convinced. Therefore, Comrade Berkov wanted to persuade Comrade Trotsky, but he still tried to face the facts as realistically as possible.

The negotiations on the border line were extremely arduous, and Trotsky and Zhang Yu were firm. Trotsky demanded that the People's Party take a clear stand in support of the Russian Communist Party. Zhang Yu immediately refused. Trotsky, on the other hand, strongly disagreed with the demarcation of the BJP's borders. After a few more days of arguing, the meeting was adjourned again.

After realizing that it was impossible for the People's Party to make concessions on the demarcation of the border line, the delegation of the Russian Communist Party finally came up with a more pragmatic attitude after internal discussions and after adjourning the meeting.

First of all, they asked the Chinese side for the production method of the "Divine Gong Body Protection Pill". The huge effect after taking the medicine left a deep impression on the Russian side.

Zhang Yu specially invited a Chinese military doctor who returned from France to introduce the side effects of the British and French troops after taking the medicine. Taking the drug will only make the army a "disposable army", and the military doctor explained to the Russian side the various side effects of the drug. "The biggest problem with this drug is that it is extremely difficult to quit psychological dependence, in other words, after using this drug, people are like neuropathy. You have to treat it the same way you treat mental illness. I believe that the comrades of the Russian Communist Party would not want the troops to turn into a psychotic army, right? ”

"And what experience do Chinese comrades have with treatment?" Trotsky thought the words of the Chinese military doctors were too strange.

"We only developed this drug, and we don't use it in China." The medic replied.

Trotsky and other representatives of the Russian Communist Party immediately showed disapproval on their faces. This is not convincing at all.

However, the doctors of the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army did not want to explain too much, and after seeing the terrible situation on the Western Front in Europe in World War I, any explanation paled in comparison. There are some things that you have to see with your own eyes to know how terrible the world really is.

However, at repeated requests from the Russian side, the BJP was finally willing to provide a drug formula called "amphetamine". Military doctors have repeatedly stressed that the biggest consequence of the use of this drug is that long-term users are likely to never feel pleasure again.

Trotsky and the Russian Communist Party did not pay much attention to this psychological thing. In such a cruel world, the emphasis on such a purely personal feeling as happiness really makes the Russian Communist Party unable to understand what the People's Party is thinking. The Russian Communist negotiators were most concerned that the People's Party had said that it would not provide any such drugs to the Entente and the Russian White Army.

After reaching an agreement on this practical question, Trotsky, after a series of discussions, got the People's Party to agree to renounce part of the territorial claims, such as the border line proposed by the People's Party, which had already reached Lake Baikal. Now, under Trotsky's arguments, the People's Party has decided to renounce its territorial claims along Lake Baikal. However, the two sides have reached some intentional ideas on economic cooperation and the flow of people.

To Trotsky's surprise, the People's Party had proposed a non-garrison agreement on the border. In other words, due to the geographical location of the new border, in addition to border patrols and police forces, the People's Party can even accept that the Russian side and the Chinese side maintain a 2:1 ratio of border troops. With Russia under pressure from the United States and Japan, China could even accept the presence of more Russian troops in the Far East.

"If possible, we don't want to commit any military force to this long border. The cost is too high. Zhang Yu once again emphasized, "A peaceful border between China and Russia is a great thing for both sides." Comrade Trotsky, as long as China and Russia are industrial countries, it is simply impossible to last long in the struggle for small plots of land. If it's a large-scale war aimed at destroying the other side, don't you think it's a nightmare for the attacking side? ”

As one of the founders of the Red Army, Trotsky certainly knew what a nightmare it was to go to war over thousands of kilometres. Millions of troops fought on such a long front, and small units could attack the enemy's rear at will, destroy railways, and blow up bridges. Anyway, no matter what the Chinese side thinks, for Russia's Trans-Siberian Railway, it simply cannot withstand such constant damage, unless Russia spends hundreds of thousands of troops defending the railway. Of course, hundreds of thousands of troops defended the railroad day and night, which in itself made the war comical.

In the end, the two sides reached an agreement of intent, and many of the more detailed and even more "interesting" technical negotiations that needed to be considered were left for later discussions.

Before Trotsky was about to return to report to the Central Committee of the CPSU, Zhang Yu told Trotsky. The BJP is ready to march into Central Asia, which, of course, will adhere to the border line proposed by the Chinese side.

By the time Trotsky finally returned to Moscow, it was already December. The offensive of the White Army had reached the point of madness, and on the snow-covered Eastern Front, the White Army continued to storm important cities in the liberated areas of the CPSU. No matter how many warnings are written on the BJP's drug introduction, how many things to pay attention to are written. The Soviet Red Army did not hesitate to use the "gifts" that Trotsky had forcibly demanded from the People's Party.

The effect of large-scale use was indeed very good, and even when it was taken orally according to strict dosage standards, the demoralized Red Army units suffering from the war greatly relieved the mental stress. Even in the 70s of the 20th century, these drugs were originally spiritual drugs in the military and special industries. The Russian Communist Party did not treat the troops as consumables, and although this drug must be used, it still pays attention to the dosage when using it.

The White Army smoked the "Shengong Body Protection Pill", and the Red Army took the "Ten Perfect Tonic Pills" orally, and the two sides also jumped directly from the World War I era to the World War II era in military drug technology. During the Great Patriotic War, both the German and Soviet armies took such drugs. Of course, the scientific and technological level of this military drug has not yet reached the level of the US military in the 21st century. The U.S. military used a large amount of drugs in the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, and forcibly created hundreds of thousands of soldiers who suffered from the so-called "battlefield syndrome". In order to cover up the ugliness, the Americans have come up with a bunch of excuses from depleted uranium bombs to all kinds of clouds. In fact, as long as the "refreshing pills" before the battle and the "sleep aids" during rest are canceled, the number of "battlefield syndrome patients" in the United States should decrease by an order of magnitude.

Since Ping had flattened the gap with the White Army in terms of drugs, the Red Army's superiority in the people's war was brought into play. In March 1920, the Red Army again launched an offensive against Kolchak's department, which Kolchak was unable to resist again. Of course, this is probably also due to the fact that the stock of "Shengong Body Protection Pills" in Britain and France has been exhausted, and the People's Party is unwilling to continue to provide such drugs.

In May 1920, the Kolchak division was routed. The remnants escaped from the Ural Mountains and were routed to the east.

In July 1920, Chen Ke's paper on "Research on Methamphetamine Hand Carbon and Hand Carbon in Organic Compositions" was published, and patents were registered and applied for in various countries. This caused a stir around the world. None of the major imperialists could have imagined that the formulas for military drugs that they coveted would be so easily available.

Of course, it is not surprising that Chen Ke was once again the Nobel Laureate in Chemistry in 1921, after the Nobel Prize in Medicine. This is the second of four Nobel Prizes in Chen's lifetime. Of course, the criticism of Chen Ke as a "demon chemist" also began to appear in 1921.

That's for later.
