…… Peace did not come, and when Yang Qiu finally set out to deal with the rebels and guerrillas in the northeast, the continent of Europa made waves again. In April 1920, negotiations between Moscow and Poland finally broke down, and Joseph Pilsudski, who had the support of the Entente countries, rejected all negotiations and led 300,000 Polish troops into Russian territory, and Lithuania was occupied in just a few days. Seeing that the Red Army was pinned down in large numbers in the Urals and the Caucasus to confront Denikin and Kolchak, the Polish army excitedly turned around overnight and began to attack Galicia, fortunately, to capture Belarus and Ukraine, and build the dream Great Polish Empire.

Knowing that a major war broke out between Moscow and Warsaw, Britain and France actively provided armaments to Poland, trying to take the opportunity to clean up Moscow in one fell swoop. The sudden outbreak of war also made Denikin and Gao 533 Distant News Irchak very excited, and immediately divided his troops into three ways, with Denikin attacking from the Crimean Peninsula, abandoning Tsaritsyn and turning his head to attack Vinnytsia and Ukraine, trying to join the Polish army in Kiev. At the same time, Kolchak led the Northern Army to attack Ufa and Kazan, and finally Dutov led the Southern Army to attack Western Kazakhstan and Orenburg, with a total strength of 2 million.

Whether there are 2 million Yang Qiu knows best, Kolchak and Dutov have a maximum of 500,000 people left in their hands, and Denikin does not even have 300,000 in his hands. But in any case, taking advantage of the opportunity of the Polish offensive, the two forces still caused great panic in Moscow! You must know that in the parallel world, during the Soviet-Polish War, Lenin had solved the threat from the east, so that he could deal with Poland with peace of mind, and even then he was finally beaten to the ground and sued for peace for various reasons. Now that the four forces are launched at the same time, the explosive power can be imagined. Coupled with the fact that Kolchak's 600 tons of gold were not given for free after all, with the support of a large number of weapons and the heavy artillery regiment of the Chinese Volunteers disguised as the White Army, they quickly broke through Yekaterinburg to Kazan and could not advance. Dutov also showed the same strength, holding back the Red Army in Orenburg to prevent them from having the opportunity to cut off the main forces of Kolchak, and at the same time detached the forces of the 533rd chapter of the distant news division to attack the Turkestan Front in Andijan with heavy losses and had to stay in Turkmen and South Kazakhstan.

The worst year since the outbreak of the Russian Civil War has finally broken out, and countless lives will be swallowed up by this vortex. Vast amounts of wealth evaporated, and fine tsarist works and precious metals were sent to China, Britain, and France in exchange for a steady stream of ammunition and weapons.

It is against this backdrop that it is. Nagata Tetsuyama and Kohata Yukichi made a detour from Turkey from Baku and the Caucasus all the way to Moscow.

The most eye-catching thing along the way is naturally Baku, which is known as the heart of oil, and the most frowning thing is because of the blockade between Britain and France, the road from the Dardanelles to the Black Sea is temporarily blocked, which brings uncertainty to the future cooperation between the two countries. As for the most shocking. I'm afraid it's the destructive power of the Russian Civil War! Large swaths of fields are barren and littered with dead bodies and wreckage, and almost every village bears the signs of fierce fighting and destruction. With Moscow under attack from all sides, is a government and country in tatters worth the effort of the Great Japanese Empire?

Moscow was at its most dangerous moment, when a large number of citizens and workers wearing armbands were armed, and they were forcibly ordered to go to the front to face the test of life and death without even being reorganized. This sight made Kohata Yukichi frown. Although he is in favor of Japan and Russia joining forces to counterbalance China. But now the situation in Moscow is really bad, and if they can't stop this wave of attacks, everything will have to be reconsidered. So he turned his head and asked, "Nagata-kun, can they withstand this attack?" "Nagata Tetsuyama is not worried about Kolchak and Denikin. Their power has decayed, and Britain, France, and even China are actually ready to give up, otherwise Yang Qiu would not have built a fortress in the northwest. He is anxious about Poland! Britain and France provoked a conflict between Poland and Moscow this time, and were clearly prepared for a last-ditch effort. Will you wait for the civil war to be decided, or will you reach out to Moscow now? It's completely different.

Now to propose cooperation is to send charcoal in the snow. It will definitely be less valuable to go after the war. So he thought about it and said, "Kohata-kun, I think I should go and meet them now." ”

"Now?" Yukichi Kohata looked at him in surprise as he walked out, hesitated for a moment and hurriedly chased after him.

When Nagata Tetsuyama decided to go to see Lenin early. There are fierce quarrels taking place in the Kremlin. The members of the committee did not look good, Moscow, which had been attacked from three sides, had reached the most critical moment, and they were all anxious. The commander-in-chief of the Red Army, Tonotsky, was blunt: "In any case, one aspect must be put to an end at once!" My proposal was to first retreat back from the line of Kiev in Galicia, move all the grain and villages along the way, and lengthen the offensive in Warsaw. Use this time to strengthen Frunze's forces to defeat Denikin first and then crush the Polish invasion. ”

"I don't agree with this approach." Bukharin stood up, the former Pravda editor-in-chief was a staunch chauvinist, resentful of cutting concessions and retreating. He had strongly refused to sign the Brest Peace Treaty, so he said excitedly: "You can't back down!" We've backed down once. If we retreat again, how will we face our proletarian compatriots? Constant retreat will only lead to more distrust of the people towards us, which will affect the confidence of the people! The Japanese uprising had already foreshadowed that only the provocation of the Poles could be provoked by an all-out defeat of the Poles. We must not confine ourselves to Russia, but only by joining forces with many other countries to defeat capitalism will we be able to carry the revolution smoothly through to the end and achieve absolute victory. ”

Tonotsky argued: "Comrade Tukhachevsky called me. He could not guarantee a short defeat of the Poles. The Southwestern Front suffered heavy losses in the battle to regain Tsaritsyn, and there was a serious shortage of food and weapons! Many of the soldiers in the cavalry led by Comrade Budyonny still have only sabers, so I think some comrades are too optimistic and must face up to the current predicament! The contraction was only temporary, and it was only possible to defeat Poland by freeing up his hands and letting Comrade Frunze solve the weaker East first, otherwise he would lose even more. ”

Tonotsky is worthy of being the father of the Red Army, and he is very dignified in initiating fire, which puts a lot of pressure on Bukharin and others. Lenin was coughing violently, and Kaplan's three bullets caused him serious physical injuries, causing his mental and work ability to deteriorate. So he spoke softly: "Comrade Tonotsky, your approach is very good, but the Eastern Front is also very difficult now, and if we consume too much in the East, how can we deal with the Poles?" ”

"Comrade Vladimir you are quite right, but I think the main problem of the Eastern Front is not with the Kolchak bandits!" In many ways, it can be seen that Britain and France have given up on continuing to support them, and it will be much smoother to defeat them first. ”

"What about the Chinese?" Bukharin took over the conversation. With some dissatisfaction, he continued: "China has unilaterally abrogated all unequal treaties and has been recognized by the capitalist world. They supported China in order to create trouble for our country, and now they are forcing Japan to sign a peace treaty. Without the threat of Japan, they could project more troops to the northwest. Even now, Kolchak's army had a lot of Eastern faces. How can these be solved? ”

Looking at Bukharin, who had repeatedly refuted him, Tonotsky frowned unnoticed, and the corners of his eyes swept to Stalin, who was still silent next to him. Seeing that Lenin's health is getting worse and worse, many people in the party have recently begun to think about the matter of succession, so it is not surprising that he is targeting himself. What really angers him is that there are people who want to take advantage of the moment of life and death in Russia, hoping to monopolize military power to accomplish something! This kind of practice of thinking only about oneself and ignoring the danger of the country is very dirty.

He fixed his gaze and looked directly at Lenin: "Comrade Vladimir. My idea is that negotiations with China should begin as soon as possible on the issue of territory and treaties under Tsarist Russia. Let them give up supporting Kolchak and others. ”

"Will the Chinese listen to us?" Kamenev interjected.

Tonotsky could not guarantee this question, and said: "It is obvious that Yang Qiu has a great interest in officially recovering the previously lost territory, which is also the political capital on which he stands, and I believe that he is also waiting for our arrival." ”

Stalin, who had been silent before, suddenly stood up, quietly pulled his loose gloves, and said dissatisfiedly: "Comrade Tonotsky, we have lost too much territory in the East. A compromise with a rising country like China would have a worse impact than a compromise with Poland. I insisted on my idea that more class comrades should be called upon to go to the front. The Poles, like imperialism, are just paper tigers. To collapse like Tsaritsyn before the offensive of the proletariat, you should deal with them first, and not negotiate with the Chinese! ”

Lenin was so troubled by the fact that everyone was holding on to each other's arguments that Lenin could only simply announce that he would immediately remobilize and send out all the troops that could go to the front first, and he still had to think about whether to settle the east or the west first. This decision displeased both sides, but now there was no other way, and after the dismissal of Tonotsky from the People's Commissariat on Foreign Affairs, he was no longer able to intervene diplomatically. We can only wait for his decision.

Qin Jian had been waiting outside the Kremlin, and when he saw Stalin coming out, he immediately greeted him: "Comrade Stalin, this is the battle report of the Southwest Front. The Poles are approaching Kyiv, the situation seems to be bad, I'm afraid you need to go there yourself. "After the Battle of Tsaritsyn, Stalin established sufficient personal prestige in the Southwestern Army. This is also the key to his competition for a higher position, so he is also anxious when he hears that the Southwestern Front is in trouble. Glancing at Tonotsky who came out, he sat in Qin Jian's car with a black face.

This subtle look did not escape Qin Jian's eyes, and he pretended not to see it before getting into the car and asked, "Comrade Stalin, how is the meeting going?" Is it dominated by the Southwestern Front? ”

This sentence aroused Stalin's displeasure, and his gloved left hand squeezed his knee hard. There is also a reason why he wants to attack Poland first, because if he hits Poland first, he will definitely have to transfer troops from the Eastern Front, the Southeast Front, and even the Turkestan Front to strengthen the southwest, so that he can have a greater say in the future, but Tonotsky wants to strengthen the east, will this lead to Frunze supporting him more in the future?

Although he didn't answer, these small actions revealed the secrets of his heart, and Qin Jian didn't continue to ask. Just as the car was about to leave Red Square, he saw Nagata Tetsuyama and others, and said in surprise: "Comrade Stalin. You see, they are...... It's Japanese. "Stalin had already learned about the secret arrival of the Japanese delegation. But at this time, when he saw the delegation led by Nagata Tieshan, he suddenly thought of a possibility, and hurriedly said: "Turn around and go back...... To be continued) rq!!
