Lenin waved his lower arm vigorously and interrupted Stalin's words. "Trotsky will not agree! He only thought about becoming a fat man in one bite, not knowing that the victory of GCISM over capitalism would be a long and difficult process - as the war with Chinese revisionism and Japanese imperialism had already demonstrated. But Trotsky did not realize that the cause of the defeat in the Far East was the great disparity in strength between us and imperialism, and he fantasized that a policy of a surprise attack on Poland and Germany would eventually plunge the international GC movement into a great crisis, but I could not do anything about it! ”

By the time he said this, Lenin had risen from his chair and walked up and down his office with a look of agitation. It seems that he was still opposed to the Trotsky line, although in public he rarely said anything like that.

There was a subtle twinkle of joy on Stalin's face, and the historical dictator of GC lost no time in reminding Lenin: "We can bring down the Trotskyists!" As long as we have such determination, we will definitely be able to do it! ”

"Determination?" Lenin shook his head: "I have a great deal of determination, but Trotsky is now in control of the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army and the Cheka!" Although we have three members in the Political Bureau, the Council of People's Commissars, the Supreme Soviet, and the GC International are unarmed after all! ”

At a recent plenum of the Central Committee of the Russian Federation, Zinoviev, chairman of the International Executive Committee of the GC, defeated the commander-in-chief of the armed forces of the republic, Vatsettis, and was elected a member of the Political Bureau. But the Trotskyite Skryansky replaced Dzerzhinsky. Became the chairman of the All-Russian Anti-Terrorism Committee! Now that the two powerful departments of Soviet Russia, the Red Army and the Cheka, were in the hands of the Trotskyists, and together with the Krestinsky in the hands of the Russian GCD Organization Department, the forces of the Trotskyist faction had completely suppressed Lenin.

"Comrade Lenin!" Stalin's mouth moved, and he smiled contemptuously: "Trotsky is not Chang Ruiqing!" He is not a warlord, but the editor-in-chief of Pravda, and he will not use force to fight within the party, so as long as we seize the opportunity, we can still turn the situation around. ”

Lenin looked at Stalin seriously: "Joseph? Vissarionović, Trotsky really wouldn't have done that. But that doesn't mean his followers, like the likes of Vatsedis, won't do that! I don't want the struggle between Trotsky and me to turn into a civil war! This issue is not to be raised in front of me again. ”

Stalin shrugged his shoulders, who were dressed in loose clothes. "Yes, I will not mention it in front of you again, I know what to do, Comrade Lenin, I hope to go to work in the Far Eastern Soviet Socialist Republic, where I may be able to work hard for the Party through guò to make up for my mistakes in the war in the Far East."

Lenin shook his head slightly: "No, you have to stay with me." But the work in the Far East also has to be done. We should bring the leaders of the Polish GCD, Comrade Dzerzhinsky and Comrade Menzhinsky, back to the Russian GCD. ”

Having understood what Lenin meant, Stalin said goodbye to his mentor and left the Kremlin. went to talk to his old buddy Dzerzhinsky and Menzhinsky. These two former Cheka leaders gave Trotsky a trick this time, and not only did he not become the great leader of Poland. Also lost the Cheka territory. Now they have become two big idlers, but their qualifications and prestige are still there, and once they return to Russia, they will be second only to the members of the five major political bureaus.

At half past five in the afternoon, when Stalin found Dzerzhinsky at the Polish GCD station outside Moscow, the great leader of the future Poland was having dinner with brown bread, salt and water. Dzerzhinsky was a very simple GCD leader - as you can tell from his scrawny appearance, three meals a day were of the same standard, and he did not eat anything but bread, water, and salt. I don't know if there will be a lack of vitamins or something?

Stalin came in and told him that Lenin wanted him to return to Russia. Dzerzhinsky was so excited that he didn't eat anything. "Really? When can I go back? Do you still want me to be the chairman of the Cheka? Joseph? Vissarionovich, do you know how bad the Cheka's work is right now? Skryansky is not the material for this business at all, his heart is too soft. He shook his head and reached for something to eat.

"yes, if only you could get the Cheka back." Stalin said, sitting down in his chair. He took out his pipe and tobacco from his pocket, wiped it on fire, and smoked: "But before you go back to Russia, you have to think carefully, we may have to conclude a three-country non-aggression pact with China and Japan." ”

Dzerzhinsky was putting a slice of salted bread to his lips. When he heard this, he was stunned, his cold eyes looked at Stalin through a pair of small round glasses, and whispered in a calm tone: "That means that we have no worries and can go west with all our might!" ”

"It will take another 10 years to restore the country's strength."

"10 years is too long, my health is very bad, I am afraid I will not live the day of the liberation of Poland." Dzerzhinsky put down what he had eaten, stood up, picked up his coat and draped it over his body. "I'm going to see Zinoviev and ask him to return to work in Russia, but what position can I be arranged? I'm afraid they won't give me back the Cheka, right? ”

Stalin was also not clear about Lenin's arrangement, but he could guess some. "It should be to the Far Eastern Soviet Socialist Republic, it should be to replace Frunze as secretary of the Far Eastern Bureau."

This position was originally wanted by Stalin, but it was hopeless. Lenin was unwilling to clash with Trotsky for him, so he arranged for Dzerzhinsky to return to Russia and let him control the Far East and the Far Eastern People's Revolutionary Army with Dzerzhinsky's henchmen and influence within the Cheka.

"To the Far East? Okay, too. Zhang Guotao and Ren Fuchen, the leaders of the China Gang, are my old subordinates, and most of the wives of their important members are arranged by me! With that, he and Stalin quickly went out to the GC international headquarters.

And this time. Chang Ruiqing was staring at a painting in his office. This is the one Natalie asked about this morning. In fact, Chang Ruiqing didn't know where this painting came from at that time, and the works of Du Qi Baishi hanging in his office (it must be true) didn't know how an oil painting appeared. What he said to Natalie was also pure nonsense.

But now he already knows who painted this picture, this is the work of Lieutenant Colonel Luo Yaoguo, director of the Central First Aircraft Factory! It was Zhen Xiaoru who sent someone to steal it from Luo Yaoguo's country -- Luo Yaoguo is now on business in Shanghai, and it is estimated that he will not be able to return to Nanjing for a while, so the spies of the Military Intelligence Bureau went to his house and searched him carefully. I found several paintings of the same woman, both oil and pencil, and Zhen Xiaoru brought it to Chang Ruiqing's office and put it in one of them. The agents also found many drafts full of equations in Luo Yao's country, several of which had already been read by the White Russian professors at the Central University. But no one can understand it! I don't know if these equations are too esoteric, or if the diplomas of these White Russian professors are faked?

In addition, the spies also found Luo Yaoguo's diary, but it didn't seem to record any important information. But everything in the diary is written in German! Moreover, most of the various books found in Luo Yaoguo's country are also in German editions, and it seems that German is his mother tongue - now Chang Ruiqing doubts that this Luo Yaoguo must be possessed by some later German scientist, right? I don't know if this guy is a neo-Nazi or not? Will he go to Germany to help Hitler? And the one he asked Einstein to find named Josephine? Could Albert's female doctor be one of his ancestors? But why did he infiltrate the Chinese National Defense Forces and deliberately approach him?

That's right! I am a time-traveler, history has changed because of myself, and the other party must have discovered this to approach me.

At this moment, the office door was gently pushed open. It was Zhen Xiaoru who came in. The female spy's face was flushed, probably just went to the gym, right?

"Xiaoru. You also find Luo Yaoguo strange now, right? Chang Ruiqing looked back at his female spy and showed a faint smile.

Zhen Xiaoru nodded: "It's weird." As she spoke, she took out a small notebook from the pocket of her military uniform and handed it to Chang Ruiqing: "Yaoru, his diary has been fully translated." It's basically something inconsequential, but at the end of the diary, I found something very interesting. ”

"Oh, what's it?"

"It seems to be some current event, but"

"But what?"

"But there are some events that are completely different from what happened in reality. For example, the restoration of Zhang Xun in his diary took place on July 1, 1917; the Dharma Protector Movement from July 1917 to May 1918; The withdrawal of Outer Mongolia was in November 1919"

These are the ways history is! Chang Ruiqing took a deep breath, calmed down a little, and smiled at Zhen Xiaoru reluctantly: "What year did these events happen at the latest?" ”

Zhen Xiaoru frowned. With a wry smile, he said: "The latest thing that happened was on January 25, 1922, at the First Congress of the German Socialist Workers' Party. This is almost two years later, Yaoru, the director of your aircraft factory should have something wrong with his brain, right? ”

"Are you sure it's January 25, 1922?" Chang Ruiqing looked at Zhen Xiaoru with wide eyes, Zhen Xiaoru thought about it, opened the small book and looked at it carefully, nodded and said, "It's January 25, 1922." ”

"Alright. You can move this painting back and put it in its original place. Chang Ruiqing pointed to the oil painting painted by Luo Yaoguo and instructed Zhen Xiaoru to say. He only felt that his head was a little confused, he was a high school history teacher in his previous life, and he asked himself if he could not mistake the day of the first congress of the German Nazi Party in history. It was January 22, 1922! Three days earlier than the day in Luo Yaoguo's diary! Could it be that Luo Yaoguo remembered wrongly? Or is it something else?

This Luo Yaoguo is really getting more and more mysterious!

Just when Chang Ruiqing was puzzled by the appearance of another traverser, the battleship Mikasa on which visiting Japanese Prime Minister Hara Kei was traveling had already arrived at the dock in Shimonoseki, Nanjing. This battleship was the flagship of the Japanese Combined Fleet at the time of the Russo-Japanese War. In the eyes of the Japanese, the Russo-Japanese War was a war fought by Japan to help China. It is a symbol of Sino-Japanese friendship. Therefore, Hara Jing took this to visit China and Wèn, which was also a gesture of friendship.

The Chinese side has also prepared a grand reception for the Japanese prime minister, who is visiting China. On the Xiaguan Wharf, the welcoming crowd was crowded into a sea of people, and Hu Hanmin, chairman of the Nationalist Government, and Chen Duxiu, premier, both stood on the wharf to greet them. The only thing that made Yuan Jing a little regretful was that Chang Ruiqing, chairman of the National People's Defense Force, was absent from the welcoming ceremony for some reason.

According to the original plan, he should also come to Xiaguan Wharf to greet him in person. However, this person is probably still hiding in the base camp of the Military Commission in Tangshan and is worried about Luo Yaoguo's affairs, although this person is completely under the heavy surveillance of the spies, Chang Ruiqing still feels very uneasy! Especially after vaguely feeling that this person had some mysterious connection with the German Nazi Party and Hitler, Chang Ruiqing even had reason to suspect that the other party might have something to do with some Nazi super science. It may also be some conspiracy made by the neo-Nazi organization in later generations to destroy the miè world, and it is likely that there are also fellow party members who crossed with him (that Josephine?). Dr. Abel should be)! All in all, it's a very difficult thing.

However, Prime Minister Hara, who was born and raised in this time and space, had no idea that he was in the world, and what terrible things were happening! As he stepped off the ship with steady steps, the Japanese Navy's military band played Kimiyo's music. Hu Hanmin and Chen Duxiu also looked at the Japanese prime minister with a smile on their faces, and Yuan Jing had long noticed the two leaders of the Chinese government, Hu Hanmin had met him during his visit to Japan last year, while Chen Duxiu had only seen photos. He also knew that in the current Chinese government, Hu Hanmin, who was the chairman of the Nationalist Government, was more of a ceremonial head of state, while Chen Duxiu, the prime minister, was genuine.

So after the two sides met. Yuan Jing just politely exchanged a few words with Hu Hanmin, and then shook Chen Duxiu's hand in the flickering of a magnesium lamp. Speaking fluent Chinese (this person used to be a consul in China), he said: "Premier Chen, it is a pity that you did not come to Japan on your last trip around the world. You should come to Japan for yourself to feel the friendship between the Japanese people and the military and political circles toward China and to look forward to the revival of Asian civilization, and the burden of expecting the revival of Asian civilization is now on the shoulders of our two countries. By the way, I would like to meet with the Standing Chairman of your country as much as possible, and there are some issues that need to be discussed with him in person. With that, he and Chen Duxiu got into the same car, and under the protection of the military police of the National Defense Forces, they went to the presidential palace of the national government to attend the welcome reception.

The standard of the reception was also very high, and almost all the leading figures in Nanjing City appeared. However, there is still no shadow of Chang Ruiqing. It was not until two o'clock in the afternoon after the reception that the chairman of the Military Council, who was also the de facto ruler of China, belatedly appeared in the meeting room of a small two-story building in the palace of the chairman of the Nationalist Government.

"I'm sorry to keep you waiting." Chang Ruiqing Chao Yuan Jing, Okamura Ningji, Hu Hanmin, Chen Duxiu and others, who had been waiting there for a long time, nodded their heads and strode in front of the two Japanese. Okamura was an old acquaintance with him, so he smiled at him, "Chairman of the Standing Committee." Let me introduce to you that this is His Excellency Yuan Kei, Prime Minister of our Cabinet -- Your Excellency the Prime Minister, and this is General Chang Ruiqing, Chairman of China's Military Commission. ”

Chang Ruiqing smiled and stretched out his hand. He shook hands with Yuan Jing and expressed his enthusiasm: "Mr. Prime Minister has come from afar, and I have worked hard all the way, and I was supposed to go to Shimonoseki Pier to greet me, but it was delayed because of a little trivial matter." But I also have good news for Mr. Prime Minister, Mr. Borodin, the special envoy of Soviet Russia, who has just sent a reply from Moscow, that Lenin and Trotsky have agreed in principle to sign a non-aggression pact between China, Japan and Russia. ”

Hearing the news, a smile also slipped across Yuan Jing's face, and he nodded heavily: "Mr. Chairman, I am really grateful to be able to match Japan and Russia." ”

Chang Ruiqing also nodded with a smile and sat down in a pre-vacated seat. There were only five of them in the entire conference room at this time, as well as one stenographer from each side of China and Japan, and it was completely a backroom political posture.

A few people sat there, Chang Ruiqing just smiled and didn't speak, Yuan Jing didn't know where to start for a while, and only said after a while: "Mr. Chairman." I'm sure you're very clear about my intentions this time. It is sad that there are now only three independent countries in Asia, Japan, China, and Siam (Turkey is counted as a European country), and that the rest of the countries have become colonies of the Western powers. Because our two Asian countries with a long history, China and Japan, are now shouldering the heavy responsibility of reviving the entire Asian civilization! Of course, our two countries have had some unhappiness and conflicts in the past, but the two wars against Russia have shown that the relationship between China and Japan is still interdependent on the whole. Therefore, His Majesty the Emperor of our country sent him to China to seek to usher in a new era of comprehensive cooperation between the two countries.
