(306) The Nightmare of the Great Revolutionary Leader
"The goals of their authorities are very clear, where any Chinese goes. Their task was to assign areas so that people from different provinces of China could go to the same place as much as possible, so that in the future they could talk in the same dialect and organize local associations - because it was difficult for people from the north and south of China to understand each other's conversations. ”
"All Chinese associations are bases for Chinese spies. Even in Almaty they have such institutions, where they can meet, sing together, talk together about being a great people, publish Chinese newspapers and books. Some Turkestan officials told us about the peculiar Chinese espionage method: China's cultural infiltration of the Kazakhs actually began very early, and during this time, they were selling some Chinese supplies there while learning the language and fully adapting to the environment. ”
"Another method of Chinese infiltration is to set up enterprises in Turkestan controlled by Chinese capital, which are completely controlled by the Chinese. Local officials and chieftains, as well as civilians in general, would agree to do so because they were satisfied with the Chinese businesses that made their lives easier. But Chinese only eat their own food, which means that Chinese chefs and kitchen service staff are needed. They only believe in their own medicine (Chinese medicine), so there will be a large number of Chinese doctors coming to this country. Before we could react, a whole Chinese town sprang up around a Chinese company, like Chinatown in the United States. ”
"The Chinese also have an important penetration technique, and the Chinese are very skilled at bribeging. No one can surpass this aspect. We can't imagine how good they are at the wine table (the Chinese can drink as much as the Russians). When Turkestan and China were solving trade problems, bribery went crazy. In the past, Russian border guards stationed in Turkestan had observation posts on many of the commanding heights of the border, where they could see everything that was happening in China. And after we humiliated handed over the border to the Chinese, all the border guards slipped underneath. How could this happen? The border guards of Turkestan themselves carried the boundary monument for the money given to them by the Chinese! ”
"Now there are a large number of clear-headed people alive in Russia who understand the value of every square meter of land, and the stupid Kazakhs in Turkestan will not understand it for a long time."
"What the Chinese insist on is an 'ethnocentrism' with incredible power. The Chinese were quite ruthless and ruthless at that time in order to accomplish the set goals. They are bent on fulfilling the wishes of their ancestors thousands of years ago. The Chinese do not have any moral restrictions on this - the Chinese have too much utilitarianism in their beliefs, it can also be said that the Chinese have no faith, so they have no Bible restrictions, no Quran restrictions, even if they believe in Bolshevism, they will not really fight for their faith, they live in another space. ”
"The Chinese have a sense of self akin to the Jews as 'God's chosen people,' and this is the way to solve all problems. They don't even pay special attention to us because we are already so far behind them. In their opinion, we are just a bunch of inexplicable fanatics who love to destroy and kill. They hate us and only want to destroy us. ”
"A Chinese who seems to be in good shape will think that when he says to a Kazakh or a Uighur, 'You and I are the same.'" They think they're doing a good deed, and the audience will be happy. The Chinese are not ready to change the Kazakhs into anything, the Chinese want to make them like themselves. The Chinese will give the Kazakhs the illusion that they will not be slaves or a humiliated people, they will just 'become Chinese'. And they don't seem to remember that there was such a concept as the 'Chinese nation' back then? Now they are trying to let the Kazakhs know that there is only one 'Chinese nation' and that being a member of this nation brings happiness. ”
"There is an example to back this up. Our people once interviewed a highly educated young Chinese student in Yenching, a representative of young Chinese students who deserves respect. When he was asked: 'Should Western countries be afraid of the new China?' The young man replied with a hint of excitement and a very sincere smile: 'What are you talking about?' Western countries do not need to worry at all, we are now completely immersed in solving various problems within the country and development, and it will take a long time. ’”
"'So what about you after you've solved all your internal problems?' ”
"'After that!' The young man said in a very emphasised tone, 'That's a natural process of history.' ’”
Lenin read the report carefully, he placed it on the table, and he leaned back in his chair, trying to even out his breathing.
The contents of the report just now gave him a great stimulus, and the gloomy anger stimulated the gunshot wound during the assassination, which made him feel very painful.
In that 1918 shooting, one bullet wounded his left shoulder, and another bullet passed through the upper part of his left lung, passed through his neck from left to right, and sank near the joint of his right sternoclavicle. The bullet passed through the neck, literally in front of the spine, between the spine and the throat, but fortunately did not injure the large blood vessels in the neck. If this bullet deflects a centimeter to the left or right, what about the great Vladimir, admired by all peoples? Ilyich won't survive. Lenin's heart was deviated far to the right due to the massive hemorrhage to the left pleural cavity.
Until now, Lenin's hands had not been able to move freely, and his pierced neck could only barely turn.
The gunshot wound severely damaged his health and made him more and more irritable, even though he struggled to control himself.
The report just now made him realize one thing, that is, China in the East had become the most dangerous enemy of the young Soviet power.
Lenin did not previously consider a threat to Russia to the large and weak China. He issued two declarations of friendship with China in succession, declaring that he would renounce the land occupied in China during the Tsarist era, with the main purpose of winning the goodwill of the Chinese workers and peasants toward the Soviet revolutionary power and facilitating the work of the Chinese party organizations. But the current situation was something he had not thought of before.
The Bolshevik organization in China was not only terribly devastated and completely underground, but China not only defeated the Bolshevik in the First World War, but also united with the Bolshevik to attack Soviet Russia and seize a large area of Siberia.
And now, the original "Russian Turkestan" has also fallen into the hands of the Chinese.
Lenin's eyes looked at the map.
On the map, China seems to be stretching out two iron pincers to Russia's vast territory and cutting it open!
China's expansion must be curbed!
But what should the isolated Soviet power do?
Lenin felt a pang of confusion and unease.
His great mind was now beginning to become drowsy, and the scene before him was a little blurry.
Lenin beat his forehead with his hand in annoyance, trying to sober himself up.
He hated the feeling of powerlessness, which was incompatible with his leadership temperament.
Somehow, the figure of the person who said himself suddenly appeared in front of him.
Is that...... Genjiro Akashi!
At this time, Lenin seemed to have returned to the small room called Neiva, listening to the impassioned Motojiro Akashi and himself.
"As a Tatar (Lenin's mother was a Mongol), the overthrow of the Romanov dynasty, known as the world's great national prison, is the greatest patriotism!" Akashi Motojiro stared closely into Lenin's eyes and said loudly.
"The Romanov dynasty has fallen." Lenin said in a reassuring voice, "I am deeply grateful for the help you have given us. ”
"You don't have to thank me, it's also good for Yuben, we're just using each other." A sneering smile appeared on the corner of Akashi's mouth, "Isn't it?" ”
"That's right, but I still want to thank you." Lenin looked at him and said, "You helped me to free myself from my narrow patriotism." ”
"Your revolution was not entirely successful." Genjiro Akashi smiled and said, "Your real enemy is about to appear. ”
"It's already there." Lenin replied with some bitterness, "China is devouring Siberia, and Turkestan." ”
"I know, they also took Taiwan away." A hint of hideousness flashed in Akashi's eyes.
"I forgot, you are the governor of Taiwan." Lenin suddenly remembered the identity of Genjiro Akashi and said with some apologies.
"Once the lion of China wakes up, it will devour the whole world." "Although the lion has lost its mind by Westerners feeding it meat mixed with opium, it is still possible for it to wake up after being violently stimulated. ”
"How can I prevent the lion from tearing Russia to pieces?" Lenin asked with a sigh.
"Now China is not only an enemy of Russia, but also an enemy of Japan." Genjiro Akashi stared into Lenin's eyes and said loudly, "Why don't we have a great cooperation?" ”
"One more time...... Great collaboration? Lenin said to himself.
"Haven't we worked together before?" Genjiro Akashi seemed to be a little proud, "There is no difficulty in cooperating again." ”
Lenin was silent.
The acceptance of help from this side had always been a secret known to him and several other top Bolshevik leaders, including Trotsky.
"Let's have a full cooperation!" Akashi's voice was a little excited, "Let the great Soviet Socialist Federal Republic and the great Shomoto Empire have an unprecedented cooperation!" ”
"Cooperate with China in the future?" Lenin said softly.
"Didn't the leaders of the Soviets also willingly cooperate with the German Empire in order to defend themselves?" Akashi Genjiro smiled, "What's inconvenient about the Akashi Empire?" ”
"It is inconceivable that the great Soviet leader, the leader of the world revolution, should be bothered by such a problem." Akashi Motojiro laughed, "Even China can't be defeated, how can we realize the ideal of planting red flags all over the world?" ”
"If we do not cooperate with the Soviets, we will surely perish." Genjiro Akashi approached Lenin step by step, and his voice was like a shrill noise that stimulated Lenin's nerves, "You and your revolutionary cause will disappear from this world forever and remain only in the memory of some people." ”
"If we can defeat China, what do we want?" Lenin asked with a gasp.
"Russia can get Mongolia, Xinjiang Province, and what it needs most is Manchuria and Korea." Genjiro Akashi looked at Lenin and said.
"What about the rest of China?" Lenin asked again.
"If Russia does not want to have a buffer zone between it and Japan, the remaining land in China can also be divided." Akashi's face approached Lenin, "Of course, all this presupposes that the cooperation between the Soviets and Morimoto is fruitful. ”
"Okay!" Lenin finally made up his mind and nodded, "I think there is no better way so far." ”
Listening to Lenin's answer, Akashi Genjiro straightened up and looked up to the sky and laughed, his laughter was so presumptuous and harsh that Lenin couldn't help but cover his ears and close his eyes.
After some time, Akashi's laughter faded away and disappeared, and Lenin opened his eyes to find that Akashi's figure had disappeared, and he was still in his office.
Lenin let out a heavy sigh, and with some distraughtness he pushed away the report at hand, when another one appeared before his eyes.
This report was given to him by Dzerzhinsky with recommendations for contacts with the present side.
Lenin did not look at the proposal again, but rang the electric bell, and an orderly appeared at the door.
"Go and invite Comrade Trotsky, Comrade Dzerzhinsky, and Comrade Stalin to come here." Lenin ordered.
Headquarters, Tokyo, Army General Staff Headquarters, Operations Division 3.
"This report shows that the Chinese have begun to prepare to use Xinjiang Province as a base to march into Central Asia." Nagata Tetsuyama said to General Kawai, the chief of the General Staff Headquarters, and handed him a report entitled "Xinjiang Province Jixing" that had been handed over to him by the letter of relocation of the government.
In order to understand the situation of the competition between the Soviet Union and China in Xinjiang Province and Kazakhstan, Qian Zhengxin, the most notorious "jackal staff officer" in the General Staff Headquarters, volunteered to infiltrate China, and carried out activities in Qinghai, Gansu, Xinjiang Province, and Kazakhstan for more than a month, collected a large amount of intelligence, and wrote a report on "Xinjiang Province Chronicles."
In the "Chronicles of Xinjiang Province", the letter of relocation not only describes the mountains and rivers, folk customs, and social views in various parts of Xinjiang Province, but also records the words and deeds of people from all walks of life that he has heard and witnessed, from high-ranking officials and dignitaries to ordinary people. In this report, in terms of his contacts during his time in Yili, he came into contact with many people, and all of them were reflected in the report, some of them were deliberately recorded, and some of them were written and dyed, which could reflect the local people's sophistication and social atmosphere, and so on, which was of great help to the military.
Disguised as a prominent member of the Chinese political axe, Qian Zhengxin was the local official with whom he interacted the most during his time in Ili. Governor Yili not only accompanied him "to the area of Dongguan and Beiguan to supervise the people's situation", but also "climbed the high place of Dongliang and visited the ruins of Jinding Temple", but also "set up a luncheon" for him to eat Western food.
This incident reflects from the side that because Tsarist Russia had occupied Ili for 10 years, and there were more Russians in Ili, the living customs of the local people have been profoundly affected. When Qian Zhengxin left Ili, the governor of Ili escorted him all the way to the south of the Ili River, and on the way he also "hunted a wild duck" for him.
The second type of people that Qian Zhengxin came into contact with in Ili were merchants. As soon as he arrived in Beiguan, Suiding, local officials brought their subordinates and "more than ten gentry and businessmen." At the meeting held by the Yining Chamber of Commerce to persuade businessmen to implement stamp duty, Qian Zhengxin also met the famous Uygur giant businessman Yusan Bayi: "There are people who are famous for pestering businessmen, and they pointed out on the spot that the county office has never made such an announcement, and the tone is arrogant, and its ruthlessness is rare for the Tang people." The relocation letter shows two points from this: first, the local giants have a lot of money and no official government; Second, it reflects the antipathy of businessmen and people to the excesses of the political axe and miscellaneous taxes. Yusan Bayi was the richest man in Yili at that time, "with a net of more than 2 million silver dollars", and was the founder of the Yili Tannery. Compared with Yahepu, another Uyghur businessman who is eager for justice and righteousness next to him, he can be said to be "a dime a dime". Yahepu "In the early Yuan of the Republic of China, the Ili banknotes were maintained privately, and Yang Zengxin, the governor of Xinjiang Province, was awarded the fourth-class Jiahe Medal", which formed a sharp contrast with the "Lord Bayi".
The third group of people that Qian Zhengxin came into contact with in Ili were Uyghur chiefs and Kazakh heads of 1,000 and 100 households. On his way from Ili to southern Xinjiang via Nalati, he was warmly received by leading figures of the local ethnic minorities. On the one hand, because the town guards greeted him first, and on the other hand, the ethnic minorities in Xinjiang Province have always been hospitable, so of course they are very kind to "officials" like him. Along the way, he was accompanied not only by the Uyghur chiefs of Ermiweizi, Bayihai, Shahaweizi, Moyinkuzale, and other places who prepared lunch for him, but also by the heads of thousands and hundreds of Kazakh households such as Tirimis, Darukuma, and Tubalati. In Yili, Qian Zhengxin truly felt the hospitality of the ethnic minorities in Northwest China, and experienced the comfort of a luxurious yurt for the first time, as well as the "relish" of "lamb as rice".
