Chapter 901: Washington Conference (33)

For the time being, in Trotsky's view, since China is no longer reliable, it seems that the only thing that can be relied upon is Turkey.

The reason for this judgment is also because of two points.

One of the reasons for this is that Turkey today, almost like Soviet Russia, has been betrayed by the whole world―――――― of course, it may seem a bit exaggerated to say this, but it seems to be true.

After all, after the end of the First World War, Turkey was the only country other than Soviet Russia to be surrounded by several countries at the same time.

Britain, France, China, Greece, plus a few smaller countries, this is the reality that Turkey is facing at the moment.

And in the case of being surrounded or even besieged by these countries, the reason why Turkey can still survive and almost fight with Britain and France, especially Greece as the main force, is because of the support of Soviet Russia, which is also the second point.

At least for the time being, unless Turkey intends to lose its country, it can only cooperate with Soviet Russia and find a way to face the pressure of the other powers, in which case the Turks will not have any other choice―――――― unless overnight, the powers and Turkey reach an agreement and lift the state of hostilities, but the possibility of such a situation is so small that Trotsky, although he was more or less uneasy, did not think in this direction...

――――――――――――――――――――――――

It was because Trotsky did not expect that the Great Powers might be able to reconcile with Turkey. That is why Trotsky pinned his hopes on Turkey for the present predicament facing Soviet Russia.

As long as these two countries work together, then at least in the future, Soviet Russia will no longer need to worry about the possibility of being besieged. At the same time, there is a channel to the outside world, and Soviet Russia can also use this channel to obtain the materials it needs from the outside world...

It is also because of this expectation. Trotsky therefore did not notice the biggest difference between Soviet Russia and Turkey―――――― which was that as a hammer-sickle country, Soviet Russia was almost synonymous with atheism, and the religion of Turkey was one of the most radical religions in the world.

Let the Turks abandon their faith? I'm afraid they'd rather die on their own...

And this is where the most fundamental difference between Soviet Russia and Turkey lies, and if this difference is not resolved, then the union between Soviet Russia and Turkey. There is almost no way to talk about it, and it is almost impossible to resolve this disagreement.

The reason why Trotsky did not recognize this was simply because there had never been such an example in the past―――――― before the founding of Soviet Russia. Not even a single atheistic state has ever been born.

Even China, which has the least regard for gods and spirits, has Buddhism, Taoism, and even a variety of other religions. It can only be said that the Chinese still respect religious freedom.

And it is precisely because there are no examples to demonstrate that Trotsky has no way to draw lessons from what has happened in the past. There is no way to know how an atheist country should deal with a country with a very strong religious belief ―――――― those countries of later generations. Accustomed to dealing with each other, they naturally knew how to deal with it, but for Trotsky this was probably a problem.

What's more, the religious beliefs of the country and the country in this era are much stronger than those of later generations.

After all, in later generations, human beings have already landed on the moon, and at the same time, they clearly realize that in fact, on the top of the clouds, there is nothing at all...

But this era. After all, science and technology are still in a relatively backward stage.

Again, it is not just how Russia and Turkey will engage is a problem. Even for the Turks, how to get in touch with Soviet Russia is probably a difficult problem. After all, the Turks had been exposed to many religions in the past, but they had never been exposed to atheism―――――― they had come into contact with the Armenians and then killed them all, because the Armenians believed in the religion of the cross...

If the Turks had been in an advantageous position, perhaps they would have been more generous, at least by finding a way to get the other side to believe in their own religion, and the problem would have been solved.

But now, Turkey, which is relying on the support of Soviet Russia, is in a weak position, and the party that is usually in a weak position is the side that is being exported ideologically.

In the same way, in the hearts of the Turks, when facing Soviet Russia, it is difficult to say that there will not be the slightest fear, after all, this is a completely pure and foreign faith...

――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Trotsky did not know one thing, and that was that the countries were now considering a rapprochement with Turkey, the purpose of which was, of course, to prevent Turkey from throwing itself into Soviet Russia.

On the one hand, the reason for this is that the intelligence system of Soviet Russia has not yet penetrated into the high-level of various countries. At present, the way they obtain information from the outside world is actually no different from what ordinary people see in the newspapers.

And then there's...

The Secret Service didn't tell them anything about it.

It is not surprising that the reason why the Secret Service Bureau cooperated with Soviet Russia was entirely out of its own interests, in other words, it was precisely for its own interests that the Nationalist Government chose to cooperate with Soviet Russia.

So if suing Soviet Russia and Turkey about the matter might cause obstacles to itself and even damage its own interests, how could the Nationalist government be stupid enough to sue Soviet Russia about it?

Of course, this does not mean that the intelligence system of Soviet Russia is really useless, yes, the Special Affairs Bureau has indeed been trying to infiltrate into the interior of Soviet Russia for some time, and even some high-level officials of Soviet Russia have been bought by the Special Affairs Bureau―――――― there are also coercion and temptation.

The internal political struggle in Soviet Russia was very brutal, and as a human being, it is obviously unlikely that he will not make any mistakes, so. As long as you can get some grip on them, the rest of the matter will naturally become much easier.

Basically, just put their handle out and add some inducements. Even if these people are considered high-level leaders in Soviet Russia, there is still no way to refuse the mention of the Special Affairs Bureau. Of course, another reason for this is that, as mentioned earlier, the cruelty of the internal struggle in Soviet Russia, these mistakes are nothing in the eyes of the Kuomintang, but in the eyes of Soviet Russia, I am afraid that they are big mistakes, and if they are not done well, they may even be played to death and crippled, or at least lose all their political future. In this case, it is better to cooperate with the national government, so that at least some benefits can be obtained. Moreover, the government promised them a way out.

In addition to these coercion and temptation, there is also a part of it that developed during the siege in Russia in the early years. At that time, although there were many people with firm beliefs in Soviet Russia, there were also many weak elements, and they saw that the situation of Soviet Russia was becoming more and more dangerous. It's certainly impossible for them not to think about the back road/.

Like I said before. Considering the peculiarities of Soviet Russia, China became the only object of choice for them ...

――――――――――――――――――――――――――

It was in order to find a way out for themselves that these people chose to cooperate with the national government. I plan to wait for the defeat of Soviet Russia, and the Nationalist Government will arrange for them to spend their old age in China―――――― anyway, when they accepted the wooing of the Special Affairs Bureau, the Special Affairs Bureau had already promised very well, and no one even provided a small villa, and in addition to bear the living expenses for a considerable period of time in the future...

So even if Soviet Russia fails, they can go to China and become some rich men or something.

These guys at the time. That's a very good idea.

But who would have thought that Soviet Russia would actually succeed, so they were a little embarrassed. On the one hand, they who have stayed have been given high positions. It can be said that they have a great future, but on the other hand, they have been bought by the Special Affairs Bureau, and from a certain point of view, they should actually be called traitors...

There is no doubt that the status of a traitor is absolutely not suitable for them now, and it is even very likely to affect their political life and even their lives.

Especially if it is known that they have been bought by the Special Affairs Bureau because of their lack of firm faith.

So in order to keep this secret and not let the outside world know, they can only choose to remain silent...

At the mercy of the Secret Service, this has undoubtedly become their only option. In fact, the informants of the early Special Affairs Bureau basically came in this way, and later there was a group of coercion and temptation, and there was also a group that was completely left into the water by these people.

These people also understand that since they are already traitors, then they need to find ways to let themselves live longer, so they follow the instructions of the Special Affairs Bureau, and find a way to pull their subordinates and some superiors into the water, people are not sages, they are naturally selfish, and as long as they have selfish intentions, they give the Special Affairs Bureau an opportunity to take advantage of, especially for such a young regime as Soviet Russia―――――― for the infiltration of Soviet Russia by the Special Affairs Bureau, in fact, Soviet Russia itself is also clear, at least Lenin and Trotsky and others still understand.

It's just that what they know is only superficial, and they didn't expect that the secret service has infiltrated Soviet Russia so deeply, and the entire Soviet Russian regime has almost been infiltrated by the secret service...

Perhaps, in the eyes of Lenin and others, although Soviet Russia has been infiltrated, it is like a wormhole in an apple, although it is a little disgusting, but it is irrelevant. But I didn't expect that now this apple is about to be infiltrated like a honeycomb...

Hmm, dense phobia...

――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Of course, it is impossible for Soviet Russia to be so incompetent, and it is just allowed to infiltrate Soviet Russia by the Special Affairs Bureau.

Although it is not clear that Soviet Russia has been infiltrated very badly, but knowing that Soviet Russia is being infiltrated by the Special Affairs Bureau, it is certainly impossible for Soviet Russia not to take even a little countermeasure.

In fact, Soviet Russia's response was to carry out reverse infiltration of the secret service.

I have to say that the faith of Soviet Russia is indeed very capable of demagoguery, and there is absolutely no doubt about this. Throughout history, before the end of the Cold War, there was no shortage of spies belonging to the Soviet Russian camp.

Naturally, Yan Shao is very aware of this, especially the ability of the belief in Soviet Russia to deceive people, so when he asked the Special Affairs Bureau to select people to go to Soviet Russia, he deliberately chose a person with a firm will. At the same time, he is also a spy with strong beliefs (nationalism, nationalism).

But even so, there was still a small number of spies who were infiltrated by Soviet Russia.

No way. Although the secret activities of the Special Service in Soviet Russia are very powerful, but after all, these people have a superficial identity, since they are exposed to the sun, then there is a possibility of infiltration, coupled with the ability of Soviet Russia to deceive people, at least at least six members of the Special Service Bureau currently working in Soviet Russia have been infiltrated...

Thankfully. Only one of them is middle-level, and the rest are low-level personnel, so some secrets are not particularly clear. Neither understands some of the things that happened at the Washington Conference. I don't know about the current infiltration of the Special Affairs Bureau into Soviet Russia, etc.―――――― the informants of the Special Affairs Bureau are usually one-way, and even if they know, they only understand what they are responsible for, so even if some people are infiltrated, there will not be much of a problem.

For this case. Of course, Luo Wenying could not have been unaware.

After all, he is also the head of the Special Affairs Bureau in Soviet Russia. He is also the deputy director of the Special Affairs Bureau.

It's just that for this situation, Luo Wenying has no other actions except to strengthen security. After all, he was trying to find a way to infiltrate Soviet Russia, and of course it was impossible to prevent Soviet Russia from infiltrating the Special Affairs Bureau.

However, despite this, when Soviet Russia had been almost infiltrated, Luo Wenying still knew who was bribed under his hands. These people have also been fine-tuned to positions that seem to be nothing, but in fact have no access to any secrets―――――― on the surface, these people's positions are actually similar to the original. It's just that if there was still the possibility of accessing secrets in the past, then now these can only come into contact with some trivial things.

Arguably. This kind of disposal avoids the possibility of exposing secrets, but what makes Luo Wenying a little distressed is that with the infiltration of these people, the personnel they have developed are basically scrapped.

Although the special affairs bureau has a great business now, especially in Soviet Russia, there are many high-level ones. Even if there are so many less, there is nothing to feel sorry for, but who can guarantee that among the people infiltrated by these few people, there are no people who can play a big role in the future?

No seedling should be taken lightly, because at some point in the future, there is a good chance that they will play a great role. And the reason why Luo Wenying is currently letting his subordinates infiltrate the top level as much as possible, and also infiltrating many young people who seem to be very promising is because Luo Wenying knows very well that some things have to be seen in the long run.

That's right, now these high-level people are indeed controlling Soviet Russia, but who dares to guarantee that they will never be able to live forever, or stay in their current position.

You know, these infiltrated people are not young, not to mention that the Russians still have the problem of alcoholism―――――― in fact, they don't drink much, and they usually drink a little, which is actually good for the body, but if they are drunk, they are a bit terrible, especially in the way of alcoholism like the Russians, and they drink a high number of spirits...

Therefore, even if Luo Wenying, who developed them, did not dare to guarantee how many years these people would live. At least according to Luo Wenying's opinion, many people in the current high-level of Soviet Russia may not be able to live for too many years, especially the part that has been infiltrated, and they are already fifty or sixty years old, even if they can continue to live, I am afraid that the political life left to them will be very short.

Although in Luo Wenying's view, a regime like Soviet Russia may not have a long life, but it must always plan for the long term. In case the above thinks that it will be more beneficial for the Nationalist government to continue to exist in Soviet Russia, then Luo Wenying must consider that in case all the high-level officials who were bought off in the future are all dead, what should be done next―――――― not to mention that even if the matter of natural life span is not considered, the possibility of internal fighting in Soviet Russia should be considered.

Although the current Soviet Russia has not been established for a very long time, even Luo Wenying herself has to admit that the internal fighting in Soviet Russia is indeed very strong. A few cases have made Luo Wenying feel an eye-opener, and at the same time, Luo Wenying understands the cruelty within Soviet Russia...

At this time, those outstanding young people who were bought came in handy.

Even after 20 years, most of the high-level executives who were bought off are dead, and this part of the youth is only 4 or 50 years old, which is the peak of life.

And as long as these people are controlled, then they are controlled by Soviet Russia. I believe there is not much difference anymore.

――――――――――――――――――――――――

I have to say that Luo Wenying's calculations are indeed very beautiful, the same. The qiΔ“ he arranged did make the secret service infiltrate Soviet Russia like a plug. Especially those young people who came later, it ensured the infiltration of the Special Service Bureau into Soviet Russia for a long time.

Especially in the later period, the Special Affairs Bureau even had a bill, that is, to replace all the high-level leaders of the entire Soviet Russia with people who were bought by the Special Affairs Bureau.

In this way, although on the surface, Soviet Russia still existed independently. But in fact, it is almost equivalent to being sued by the national government. This is undoubtedly very much in the interest of the national government.

It's just that whether it is Luo Wenying or others, I am afraid they can't imagine that it is precisely because of the special affairs bureau that is very arrogant and rampant. There were even some unsuspecting and even blatant ideas that later led to the famous Great Purge...

And it was Stalin who led the purge, which later became very famous ...

It can even be said that in the original history Stalin carried out the Great Purge. Some kind of Cheng dΓΉ is still a kind of political struggle. Then this purge was simply because of fear of the internal situation in Soviet Russia at that time...

Because at that time, a third of the top of Soviet Russia had been infiltrated by the secret service, and even the middle and younger layers were mostly the same. Such a situation could not have frightened Stalin, since his own government was on the verge of being overthrown from within.

And the only option left for Stalin at that time was the Great Purge...

Naturally, the sequelae of doing so are undoubtedly very strict. But the effect was extremely obvious―――――― no matter how powerful the Special Affairs Bureau was, the number of one-third was already considered the limit at that time. If you give the Secret Service another twenty or thirty years. Perhaps the Special Affairs Bureau could use guΓ² to solve political opponents by means such as framing and framing, so that the entire high-level of Soviet Russia would become a figure controlled by the Special Affairs Bureau, but at that time it did not have this ability.

Normal Russians were still the dominant ones, and so the Great Purge began, and it went very smoothly.

Although there were an unknown number of innocent people implicated in the whole process, the power of the Special Affairs Bureau in Soviet Russia was also severely damaged, and it can even be said that the power of the Special Affairs Bureau in Soviet Russia was close to being wiped out at that time.

And no matter how much Soviet Russia paid for this, at least one thing can still be guaranteed, that is, Soviet Russia at that time was at least clean. And there's no need to worry about being upended from within.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Of course, although the Great Purge of Soviet Russia was indeed powerful, it was not possible to completely purge all the personnel of the Special Affairs Bureau. Therefore, even after the purge, the Secret Service still has a certain amount of power in Soviet Russia, and controls a part, or a small part of the top level.

At the same time, some of the high-level leaders who escaped the Great Purge either fled to China or South America and other regions to continue to oppose Soviet Russia, which can be regarded as one of the forces controlled by the Kuomintang and the government to deal with Soviet Russia.

It should be noted that although the Nationalist government did this, and the Soviet Union and Russia did know that these were completely behind the Kuomintang's work, the relationship between the two governments has always been in a relatively normal mode―――――― and the reason is very simple, because both sides know very well that the damage of severing diplomatic relations is greater.

This is as if in the future, no matter how much Russia and the United States quarrel, the two countries probably never considered severing diplomatic relations.

In addition, during the Cold War, it can be said that the atmosphere was stricter than after the Cold War, but the ties between the two countries were never broken. Even the top leaders of Soviet Russia have gone to the territory of the United States, which shows the problem...

In the final analysis, the so-called severance of diplomatic relations is only done by some immature small countries.

A real power, even in times of war, will not break off contacts―――――― of course, when the time comes, the superficial diplomatic ties will definitely be severed, but in private there is absolutely no problem.

Isn't there such a saying, when the war begins, in fact, negotiations begin...

――――――――――――――――――――――――――

While Soviet Russia was still considering Trotsky's plan for Turkey, Washington was on its side. The Washington Conference is still going on.

It was a conference that caught the world's attention because, as I said earlier, the Washington Conference was a conference after the Versailles Peace Conference, World War I, and the Korean War. The only world event at this stage naturally easily attracts everyone's attention.

Similarly, some of the things that happened at the meeting, with the exception of such things as co-opting Turkey, were basically made public.

What makes people laugh is that perhaps because the infiltration of Soviet Russia into foreign countries is not very smooth, so the way for Soviet Russia to obtain information related to the "Washington Conference" is possible. In fact, there is no difference between ordinary people―――――― they all get it from the newspaper.

But on the other hand, although there is such a secret thing about Turkey, Soviet Russia must have no way of knowing. But the things in Macau. But it was gradually publicized.

Similarly, it is also because of this relationship that many people have begun to pay attention to the last of the four meetings in the "Washington Conference"...

And after confirming that it was indeed the British who were behind the ghost, the Nationalist government also decided to give the British some colors to see. After all, now the British have made a move. If the Nationalist government does not fight back. and will easily be seen by the countries of the "Washington Conference".

What's more, because of the previous series of victories, the Chinese people are now at the moment when their morale is at their highest, and both their morale and self-confidence are extremely high.

Some Chinese people have even regained the feeling of the Heavenly Empire in the past, and if the Nationalist Government suddenly coaxed it for one reason or another, the blow to the morale of the people would inevitably be too great...

Merely...

How to retaliate is a very important issue, and this is also what Li Liang and the others are concerned about.

Although now on the Washington Conference. But Li Liang: They are not at all unclear about the news in China. They understood better that the British were now ready in some of the colonies in Southeast Asia, and if the Nationalist government intended to order the resistance groups in Southeast Asia to make some trouble for the British government. Then it can only be said that it is in the hands of the British government...

It can be said that there is nothing in this world that makes the British happier than this...

If the Communist government wanted to embarrass the British, it had to find something that would not make the British so happy.

――――――――――――――――――――――――

"Send troops directly to cause friction on the border between China and Britain, or simply send troops to occupy Hong Kong!"

In the hotel where the Chinese delegation was staying, Li Liang and the others were still talking about things related to the "Washington Conference." Outside the room, some of the younger members of the delegation were also discussing.

In fact, the composition of the current delegation is very complicated, in addition to the cabinet, such as Li Liang, there are also people from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, people from the military, and all kinds of other people, and even the army has sent representatives, after all, the devil said that at this "Washington Conference", there is also a treaty related to China's land issue, that is, the fourth treaty.

On this treaty, the delegation still needs professional advice from the Army.

It's just that this person's military rank is not as high as Bugao, so the current military representative in the delegation is not him, but Buzigao.

Of course, the army was a little dissatisfied with this, not to say that they had any opinion on Buzigao, but about the fact that the position of the military representative was taken away by the navy.

That's right. Nowadays, the government of the National Council can indeed be said to be extremely concerned about the development of the navy, and the amount of money spent on the navy every year can also be described as astronomical. However, it has to be said that in the past and at present, the navy can only be regarded as the second largest in the army, and the real boss is only the army, and only the army has more than 2 million standing troops and more than 10 million reserves.

This is also something that cannot be helped, after all, China is a land country, and it is a traditional land power country.

For a variety of reasons, China now attaches great importance to the sea, and the annual spending on the navy is an astronomical amount for an individual. But given China's huge population and huge territory, the size of the army can never be small.

It can even be said that every year the government dumps more resources into the army than on the navy―――――― anyway. The army is already superior in numbers. After all, the annual military expenditure of more than 2 million national defense forces alone is already an astronomical amount, not to mention other weapons and equipment procurement, maintenance, food, and a series of other expenditures.

Let alone...

In addition to this aspect. The army has other advantages to ensure its position as the boss ...

――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Although the navy is indeed a very important branch of the military, the government also attaches great importance to the navy, and dumps a lot of resources on the navy every year. Especially Yan Shao himself, he even almost planned to change the name of the current Jairus-class lead ship, that is, the No. 1 Jairsui-class battleship, to his own name, in order to show his might and his importance to the navy―――――― of course, in the end, this was persuaded back. On the one hand, because there is no such convention, it is still somewhat uncomfortable to do so. And then there's the warship, it's all going out to fight. What if one day in the future, this warship with Yan Shao's name is sunk while fighting outside?

It was named after Yan Shao, and it was as if a warship named after a country was suddenly sunk. It's definitely going to have a big impact...

So. In the end, this decision was rejected.

But even so, it can be seen that Yan Shao attaches great importance to the navy.

But compared with the army, the navy is still a lot worse, such as the most important battle record and so on.

Although the government has poured a lot of resources into the navy, the navy does not have the same amount of achievements as the army.

Like the Army, whether it was the earliest war to the north. Or the Battle of Shandong, or the Battle of Verdun or the Battle of the Somme that went to Europe. and then in a series of later battles, expanding the territory and defeating their worst enemy, this series of wars brought high honor to the army.

It is important to note that while the IDF has not suffered failures along the way, these failures have been merely tactical failures. In fact, in any battle that was crucial to the fate of the country, the Wehrmacht Army has never lost, which has also brought great glory to the Army.

In comparison, although the navy also had a great victory in Longkou Bay, and also sent troops to Europe to participate in the Battle of Jutland and a series of other small naval battles, it has to be said that compared with the Wehrmacht, the navy is still too far behind...

It is also for this reason that the Navy has always stood in second place, and the Army is the first in the Wehrmacht.

It is also because of this that the army is a little dissatisfied that the military representatives of the delegation are actually from the navy, and the army can only make a handrail.

As for the navy, they are quite proud of this, after all, when they are in China, they have always been in a position lower than the army, and even when the title is awarded, the army has to have two more people than the navy, forming a three-to-one situation, which is how can the navy be willing.

It's just that this disparity in status is formed by a big situation after all, even the navy can't help it, but even so, the navy is still very proud of this situation, after all, this is the "Washington Conference", which is the most high-profile thing since the end of World War I, the Verdun Peace Conference and the Korean War.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――

"Friction on land? I'm afraid this won't work..."Sitting next to him, after hearing the army representative say this, a government official next to him couldn't help but shake his head. "Isn't this taking the initiative to give the British a tongue, not to mention what we are here for, for a peace treaty, and as a result, the treaty is being negotiated here, and we will work with the British over there, how will this make the international community view us?"

Hearing the government official say this, the army representative was a little dumbfounded.

It was only after a half-ring that the Army representative spoke. "Then we can't have no reaction at all, so won't we become soft persimmons..."

Hearing the army representative say this, the others couldn't help but sigh, even including the government official―――――― after all, he was only a young man in his early 30s, and he was just the time when he was strong, although he said a lot of big truths, but in fact, he might not even be able to convince himself...

Merely...

While this side is still not knowing what ways and means to respond to the British, the other side has already found a better way...

Southeast Asia is definitely not going to work, it's waiting for them to do it, but it's okay on the other side...

For example, it may be more important to the British than the root of life......... India? (To be continued......)
