Chapter 976: Don't pretend to be noble in front of me

The new commander-in-chief of the Eastern Group Army, Saragaev, calmly compared the advantages and disadvantages of China and the Soviet Union, China has a lot of colonized land, and they are facing many problems, but China has an advantage in its large population, while the population of the Soviet Russian Empire is less than 100 million, especially east of the Ural Mountains, in the Asian territory of Russia, there are many ethnic minorities, and there are too few main ethnic groups, which is not only not conducive to national development but also is not conducive to national stability. He now wants to stabilize the Asian part, and he can't blindly try to restore the territory of the Tsarist Russian Empire -- the Japanese still have to teach a lesson.

The Kremlin quickly adopted Saragaev's proposal and decided to drag China to drive out the Japanese, first expelling Japan, which did not have an advantage in the army, from Russian territory.

Trotsky thought that his political life was over, but he was soon brought back to life, because Lenin had miraculously awakened and was suddenly able to speak. Comrade Lenin's own wife, Krupskaya, conveyed instructions to the Supreme Military Council of the Soviets, and Comrade Lenin trusted and supported Comrade Trotsky's re-entry into the Supreme Military Council of the Soviets as leader.

Lenin, who was at times confused and sometimes sober, realized Stalin's ambition and fear, and he figured out Guò to support Trotsky against Stalin. Many in the party were convinced of Lenin's wife's assurance, Krupskaya, that it was Lenin's order to punish Trotsky lightly and that no one should disobey the order of the Supreme Councillor. But many people were haunted by this defeat, and the 200,000 most loyal fighters of the Soviet Bolsheviks were gone, which was extremely bad news for Soviet Russia. Stalin had to order the secret police to prohibit all news of the Battle of the Heart of Central Asia from circulating in the Russian Empire. Let everyone downplay the battle.

Thanks to Lenin's support, Trotsky was soon reinstated and on an equal footing with Stalin, seemingly completely unaffected by the defeat in the East. Stalin and others against Lenin. Kurupskaya and Trotsky hated each other. However, Trotsky's ability to command the campaign was rejected by the crowd, believing that Trotsky's ignorance and ignorance had caused this great loss, and that he was no longer fit to command the army, so the military commander of the Soviet army was replaced by Kamenev.

At this time, the Kremlin was also debating whether to start and finish well with China, or to launch a general offensive - and when I heard that Poland was about to move again, this arrogant neighbor was always nervous and went around stirring up trouble. It's hard to do, Stalin said, scratching his head. As Trotsky and Lenin joined forces, in order to confront and protect themselves, Stalin united Kamenev and Zinoviev to form a faction in the Supreme Military Council of Soviet Russia.

Stalin supported Kamenev, the new military commander-in-chief of the Supreme Military Council. But Trotsky was so deeply rooted in the army that Kamenev was in fact only a nominal commander, and most of the generals of the army obeyed Trotsky's command.

To take advantage of this defeat in the East to strike a blow at Trotsky's power in the party and in the army, and to break his popularity. Prevent him from becoming the dominant family in the future. Stalin thought secretly. The situation now is that, although Trotsky has no power in the army, his influence in the army is too great and he has the support of Lenin, who is known to all, although Lenin is once again in a coma.

It seems that the struggle for power alone cannot defeat Trotsky, only the elimination of Trotsky's spiritual role and the mass of Jewish officers who rallied around him.

"This damned Jew!" Stalin secretly scolded.

On June 5, the twelfth year of the Republic of China, the day of the end of the Battle of the Heart of Central Asia, after the celebration of the command center of the Wehrmacht. Wang Maoru immediately summoned Yulin, the ambassador of the Soviet Russian Empire. What is very interesting about this battle is that both sides committed hundreds of thousands of troops. However, they invariably did not declare war on each other, which means that both China and the Soviet Union regarded the battle as a border conflict from the beginning to the end. For neither country is willing to be the first to declare war, lest it be regarded as a perfidy state - just a few days after the alliance was declared?

The declaration of war is equivalent to the need for the two countries to fight a bloody war to the end, which is a national war, and China and the Soviet Union have no intention of fighting a national war, for China, of course, because of transportation, and for Soviet Russia, there are more political reasons in addition to transportation, which also laid the foundation for the resumption of diplomacy between the two sides after the war. As far as the declaration of war is concerned, China cannot bear it, and Soviet Russia cannot afford it, which also leads to a very interesting phenomenon on the battlefield, the battle with hundreds of thousands of casualties turned out to be just a conflict, and the two sides can accept it at any time.

Because of the victory, Wang Maoru's heart was full of confidence and pride, and the corners of his mouth were slightly curled, revealing the contempt peculiar to the natural victorious country, and he said with a smile: "Regarding the conflict in the Kizil fortress, I think we should talk again. ”

Yu Lin immediately quibbled: "We have already said that this is an unjust war of your country against our country!" ”

"There is no justice in war, is it just that your country shoots at our soldiers, and our counterattack is unjust?" Wang Maoru said expressionlessly.

"Lie, this is a lie, it turns out that your country first launched an attack on my ** team!" Yu Lin was furious.

Zhang Kuian, director of the Department of Foreign Affairs of the Ministry of National Defense, immediately said: "The truth of the matter is that your country's forward troops proudly launched a charge against our defenders, and our defenders had no choice but to fight back. ”

"You...... Nonsense! Yulin shouted excitedly.

Wang Maoru shrugged his shoulders and said: "War is a continuation of politics, but what I see here is not a continuation of politics, but politics has become the material of war, isn't it?" Please don't pretend to be noble with me! According to the Sino-Soviet Friendship Treaty, this is a completely unnecessary war, but you look down on the squadron and look down on us Chinese. Don't deny it, our Chinese Government has evidence that in February, your country was discussing its strategy toward China and secretly dispatched troops to several major group armies by secret telegram. In March, you began to form the Eastern Group Army, with the aim of quickly conquering Central Asia, seizing the Western Regions, the Outer Northeast, China's Xinjiang, Mongolia, and absolutely China's newly built Karamay oil field. On March 25, when your army was departing, Trotsky gave Blyucher an order that when he encountered the Chinese defenders, he could launch an offensive at any cost, to test the combat capability of the squadron and to assess China's national defense strength. After arriving in Central Asia in May, your army sent a secret telegram to Moscow, preparing to launch a general assault on the Chinese Kizil fortress on May 16. Mr. Ambassador, I think I'm right, right? ”

"No, that's nonsense." Yulin knew that some things were true, and some things his level simply couldn't have known.

"So, you can ask the Moscow Kremlin for verification." Wang Maoru sneered, "We are interested in negotiations, but we don't want your country to underestimate the wisdom of our Chinese. Take the troops to recover Eastern Siberia, I'm afraid the Japanese have already occupied it all. The last word is for you, don't pretend to be noble in front of me, your government is not worthy! ”

Yu Lin returned to the Soviet Russian embassy with a puzzled face, and told Wang Maoru's words to Yue Fei, and the two hurried to Moscow for confirmation. Yue Fei was one of the leaders of the early October Revolution in Soviet Russia, but because of his opposition to Lenin, he was ostracized after Lenin was elected supreme leader of the Soviet Union, and was even sent to China to become a negotiator against China, and even became a deputy representative when Yulin, a junior, arrived. Now that Yue Fei is the deputy of the Soviet Russian ambassador to China, it can be said that he has hit the ends of the earth with politics. This has a kind of meaning that Su Dongpo was exiled to Yazhou.

When the secret telegram of Yulin and Yue Fei reached the Kremlin, it caused a huge earthquake in the Kremlin, no wonder the Chinese took the lead everywhere in the war, and afterwards aggressively, it turned out that the Chinese had long controlled every move of the Soviet army.

On 6 June, the Chinese Foreign Ministry informed the Russian ambassador to China that in order to show its friendship, China first made a "goodwill" move, and the Western Regions Military Region of the Chinese National Defense Forces decided to release 32,000 Soviet prisoners of war -- including the lightly and seriously wounded and disabled Soviet Russian soldiers -- in the hope that the Soviet Russian Government would pick them up at an early date. The Russian ambassador to China immediately reported this information to the Kremlin, and the top military commander, Kamenev, immediately issued instructions to do everything possible to save the released prisoners of war.

In fact, on the same day that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs informed the Russian ambassador to China, some Soviet prisoners of war had already been driven out of the prisoner of war camp. On the way back to Soviet Russia, many of the 32,000 released Soviet prisoners of war survived and returned to Russia, and the rest either died of illness on the road or fled to neighboring countries to beg. According to later statistics, 17,300 wounded Soviet prisoners of war had to apply to the Chinese government to become Chinese refugees because the road to the west was too far away, and they were stationed in refugee camps, and their descendants gradually became Chinese in China.

The remaining 31,000 healthy and lightly wounded prisoners of war were immediately escorted to Almaty, where the Wehrmacht built a concentration camp called the "Confessional Camp". In addition to the 31,000 prisoners who were relocated to the confessional camp during the Battle of Kizil, Russian soldiers who had been captured in other places and those suspected of being Russian spies were also sent here. Between 60,000 and 80,000 people were taken in before and after the camp, but the 31,000 people who eventually left the camp were recorded in the tables after the war. A hundred years later, the Chinese government is still reluctant to talk about it, or even refuse to admit it, because another systematic massacre is not a pleasant memory.
