1932: Playing with the Japanese Communist Party with a doll

Mark himself didn't show much regret. Looking at the Japanese Marines downstairs ready to go, his eyes were full of amusement: "I was originally planning to do something, but now it doesn't matter. Anyway, whether we participate or not, the outcome of this war is already determined."

By the way, the cruiser "Tenryu", which had previously pointed its guns at the Japanese Consulate in Shanghai due to internal strife between the Japanese army and navy, now returned to its original track and said: Go bombard Nanking.

The last group of Kuomintang officials left in Nanjing were frightened and almost all of them fled. This time, the news could no longer be concealed.

While the morale of the Japanese army, initially buoyed by various setbacks, was high, the enthusiasm of the anti-Japanese soldiers and civilians, who had previously won victories, was significantly dampened. According to intelligence gathered by agents, newspapers in Shanghai were already publicly denouncing Chiang Kai-shek, Wang Qishan, and the Nationalist government, calling them "traitorous officials" and a "runaway government."

Therefore, unless Mark intends to let the agent deus ex machina directly kill all the middle and senior commanders of the Japanese army, it is impossible to change the overall situation.

“You don’t plan to continue managing it?”

"No."

"So, you've been doing so much lately, just to find something fun to do for fun?" "You could say that!"

..."

The agent sighed inwardly. He couldn't understand the commander's actions. But, whatever, it didn't matter.

Anyway, my position is to absolutely obey all his orders.

"...Anyway, you want me to go and sacrifice everything like those communists...Oh, wait." At this point, Mark seemed to remember something and asked:

"Agent, please check your database for me. What were the Chinese Communist Party and the Red Army doing during this period in history?" "Yes, by 'this period', do you mean starting from the date and ending on the date?" "Well, let's start with the Kuomintang-Communist split. Report in chronological order until I stop."

"This history will be very long and involve many characters. I suggest you watch my projection."

As he spoke, the agent's eyes suddenly began to glow, and a densely packed text and a few accompanying images appeared on the wall. Wow, it can actually project images?

Suddenly I had a bold idea.

The agent's data should contain that kind of short film, right?

You know.

"Agent, I..."

"Commander, my database contains information related to economics, politics, culture, history, technology, and even sex education and medical knowledge..." As if to exact revenge, the agent projected several close-up photos of genital warts and surgical treatments onto the wall, saying word by word, "But the kind of thing you're imagining absolutely doesn't exist!"

shallow.

Is sexual culture also a culture?

Mark had no choice but to read the text, but because of the glare from the wall, he felt a headache after reading for a while. He closed his eyes and lay back in his chair, waving his hand. "...Forget it, then. Just talk about the teacher-related matters. Pick out the key points that you think are important."

In any case, the history of New China cannot be separated from that great man.

"Yes."

Back to business, almost immediately, the agent's report began:

"On July 15, 1927, after the split officially began, Chiang Kai-shek adopted... Elite members of both the Kuomintang and the Communist Party suffered heavy losses, and the Communist Party held an emergency meeting..."

On September 9, Li Desheng, alternate member of the Central Political Bureau, was ordered to lead the Autumn Harvest Uprising... The attack on Changsha, based on the Communist International's "city-centered" strategy, failed...

On September 19, the Autumn Harvest Uprising troops met in Wenjia City. Li Desheng decided to abandon the attack on Changsha and lead his troops to establish the Jinggangshan Revolutionary Base... The Communist International was furious... "On November 9, under the leadership of Comintern representative Rominez, Qu Qiubai presided over an enlarged meeting of the Provisional Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee in Shanghai..."

The meeting emphasized that China's revolutionary situation is constantly intensifying, that the nature of the Chinese revolution is 'continuous revolution,' and that the Hunan Provincial Committee's strategic approach to the Autumn Harvest Uprising "completely violated the central government's strategy..." "For this, Li Desheng should bear serious responsibility and be expelled from the Central Provisional Political Bureau as an alternate member, and his membership of the Hunan Provincial Committee should be revoked..."

On June 22, 1929, Chen Yi presided over the Seventh Congress of the Fourth Red Army and rejected the Party's opinion that the leadership of the Red Army must be centralized.

"Criticizing Li Desheng for his lack of faith in Marxism-Leninism, his individualistic heroism, his paternalistic leadership, and his 'no investigation, no right to speak' approach is wrong... He was given a serious warning..." "In mid-July, Li Desheng was forced to leave the Red Fourth Army... contracted malaria... was forced by the Red Fourth Army to attend a meeting... became seriously ill again... and recuperated..."

On August 13, the Central Committee held a Politburo meeting to discuss the issue. The meeting fully affirmed the teacher's important ideas, including "armed separatist regime of workers and peasants" and "the Party commanding the gun." In mid-November, the Red Fourth Army suffered a crushing defeat...losing one-third of its troops...The teacher resumed his work, convened the Gutian Conference, and was elected secretary of the Red Fourth Army's Front Committee...

"1930年10月，教员指挥红军打破国民党第一次围剿...31年4月，打破第二次...7月打破第三次...根据地不断扩大.…."

In early November 1942, the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee convened the First Congress of the Central Soviet Area Party Organization, comprehensively repudiating the teacher line and policy from the four perspectives of ideology, politics, military affairs, and organization. The CPC rebuked Li Desheng for his non-proletarian views, his purely defensive and guerrilla tactics, and his narrow empiricism. Bogu criticized Li Desheng as a country bumpkin who didn't understand Marxism-Leninism.

"After the meeting, it was decided to establish the Central Revolutionary Military Commission, abolish the positions of Commander-in-Chief, Chief Political Commissar, and Secretary of the General Front Committee of the First Red Army, and remove Mao Zedong from his position as Acting Secretary of the Central Bureau of the Soviet Area..."

"From then on, the Central Soviet Area officially and comprehensively promoted the so-called 'Wang Ming' leftist adventurism.

"On November 7, the teacher was elected Chairman of the Central Executive Committee, Chairman of the Council of People's Commissars, and Chairman of the Provisional Central Government of the Chinese Soviet Republic."

"On January 10, 1933, Wang Ming and other Central Military Commission leaders decided to attack Ganzhou. The Central Revolutionary Military Commission issued an order to attack Ganzhou, but the teachers strongly opposed it..." "Wait, the decision to attack Ganzhou was made in January of this year?"

Hearing this, Mark stopped for a moment.

"Yes, according to historical records, the actual plan was even earlier. After the victory of the third counter-encirclement and suppression campaign, someone proposed to attack Ganzhou." "...Oh... continue."

Mark sneered in his heart.

Didn't the Apple fan who argued with him in the previous life keep talking about the "shameful Ganzhou Campaign", "the Communist Party saw that the Kuomintang was fighting the war in Shanghai and quickly launched an attack to take advantage of the situation", and "the launching of the Ganzhou Campaign greatly affected the War of Resistance Against Japan"? In his words, he was accusing the Communist Party of ignoring the overall situation of the Anti-Japanese War.

Someone on Bihu even asked, with a serious air of "Why is the Battle of Ganzhou said to have influenced the Battle of Shanghai?", sparking a frenzy among Apple fans. It's unclear who lost Nanjing to the Japanese twice.

"In February, the First Red Army advanced into Ganzhou... but failed... and was surrounded... Wu Hao requested that Li Desheng come out of retirement to regain control of the situation, leading the Red Army out of the encirclement, capturing Zhangzhou City, and annihilating most of the 49th Division." In October, the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee convened a meeting in Ningdu, where they criticized Li Desheng, completely dismissed him from all positions, and sent him into hiding... until the Long March of 1934.

Mark sighed deeply.

This is a great man, far superior to a middle-aged man like him who has long wanted only to live his life. It is not an exaggeration to describe him as "ten ups and downs, ten rises and ten falls."

Forget it, since we have benefited from the revolutionary predecessors who sacrificed their lives and blood, we might as well help them a little! Although this may not be the same world.

Mark waved the agent off, then stood by, waiting for him to finish writing the two letters. "Go deliver this letter to Comrade Zhao Ziqi, and ask him to deliver the other to Comrade Li Desheng." It was February 3rd, so if there was a telegram, they should still be able to get there in time.

As for Li Desheng's letter, there was no need to rush it. It didn't even matter if it couldn't be delivered to him. The agent glanced at the contents of the first letter and said in surprise:

"Commander, this information may not be accurate, because..."

"I know it's most likely false intelligence, but the attack on Ganzhou was the collective will of many people in Moscow, Wang Ming, the Provisional Central Committee, and the Soviet Central Committee. It's not something a teacher can stop just because they want to." "...Just a quick reminder?"

"Ah."

"I see. I'll go then."

Soon, the agent vanished into the darkness, heading straight for Zhao Ziqi's secret base. To the stunned gaze of the other party, he handed the two letters to her, gave her some instructions, and disappeared again. Zhao Ziqi quickly evacuated the secret base, and only after arriving at the new base did she carefully open the letter addressed to her. A single glance at it made her face pale, her scalp tingling, and her back trembled. It contained only a simple sentence:

"The 34th Brigade of the 12th Division stationed in Ganzhou totals 8000 men + 10000 local militia." The meaning is clear - your Red Army intelligence is wrong!

Although he had not participated in the early planning of the Ganzhou military operation, Zhao Ziqi had heard the "reasons" of some people when discussing the attack on Ganzhou: "Ganzhou only has a ragtag brigade of over 3000 Yunnan troops and some militia! Together, there are only 8,000 people, so it will be easy to defeat them!!"

Is this a good fight??

We must quickly send this important information to the Soviet area! Otherwise, the Red Army will suffer heavy casualties!

Zhao Ziqi immediately took the letter to Bo Gu, the "chief" of the Provisional Central Political Bureau, and explained the situation and his own suggestions: "...So, we must quickly notify the Soviet area! Otherwise, the situation will be dangerous!"

At this time, Bo Gu, who was only 25 years old, frowned and asked, "Who sent this letter?"

"Ah? It's a... No! Comrade Secretary, it doesn't matter who sent it! What matters is the content of this letter! The Red Army is in danger!"

"No! If the letter comes from a suspicious source and we deliver the wrong information, wouldn't that have a negative impact on the Soviet military operations?" Bo Gu, who knew almost nothing about military affairs, was not aware of the situation in Ganzhou. He simply thought that since everyone supported the fight, then let's fight.

Moreover, the Red Army is so powerful now. Why not take advantage of the favorable situation and capture a large city like Ganzhou as the capital of the Central Committee? If it weren't for Wu Hao and Li Desheng's strong opposition, the Red Army should have attacked Nanchang!

What's more, as a "Soviet-educated" person and a close confidant of Wang Ming, from a natural political standpoint, Bo Gu also supported the attack on Ganzhou.

In his opinion, how could someone who thought of running away to the mountains like some "vulgar conservatives" be considered "making revolution"? "This..."

Zhao Ziqi was speechless for a while, then said:

"But we can send the intelligence back and let the comrades there make their own judgment... We'll need reconnaissance to attack Ganzhou, right?" "This..."

"If the intelligence is true, and we obtained it but did not report it in time, what would happen if the Red Army suffered heavy losses? Then we would be the biggest sinners!

"this..."

Bo Gu was young after all, and was frightened by this. He was stunned for a moment before hesitantly speaking:

"Then... have a meeting!"

? ? ?

055 What a Provisional Central Political Bureau, half of them are traitors!

Regardless of how unnecessary Zhao Ziqi personally felt, the late-night meeting of the CCP Central Political Bureau was still held at No. 1, Lane 290, Fengxian Road, Jing'an District. Incidentally, here is the basic situation of the CCP Central Committee in Shanghai at that time.

Last April, Gu Shunzhang, an alternate member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee who was in charge of the Party's security, was arrested in Wuhan and quickly defected, revealing the addresses of central government offices and many leaders. If it weren't for Qian Zhuangfei, an underground CCP member who had infiltrated the Investigation Section of the Kuomintang Central Organization Department, who promptly learned of this and reported it to the Central Committee overnight for action, who knows how many more people would have died.

Even so, coupled with the Communist International's order to "vigorously build the Soviet areas," a large number of central leaders and cadres were forced to evacuate Shanghai and other places, leaving the Shanghai Central Committee empty and almost paralyzed.

Under these circumstances, last September, Wang Ming and Wu Hao proposed, with the approval of the Communist International, the establishment of a provisional Central Political Bureau. After several additions, the composition of the Political Bureau was finally determined:

Bo Gu (general secretary), Zhang Wentian, Chen Yun, Zhao Ziqi, Lu Futan, Kang Sheng, Li Zhusheng, Wang Yuncheng, and Huang Ping.

These are the people who are meeting today.

Incidentally, Huang Ping was able to be selected as a candidate for the Provisional Central Political Bureau because of the crazy demands of the Communist International, that is, the Soviet Union;

The Political Committee of the Political Secretariat of the Executive Committee of the Communist International held a meeting on October 3, 1931, and heard a report on the composition of the Provisional Central Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China.

The final telegram inquired the CPC Central Committee:

"Which body elected this provisional Politburo? Why wasn't Comrade Vorovsky elected? Was the Politburo elected unanimously? If so, we have no objection to its composition." (Vorovsky: Huang Ping's Russian name)

Then, Wang Ming urgently added him to the list of candidates for the Standing Committee of the Provisional Central Political Bureau.

The establishment of the highest leadership body of the CPC Central Committee was so hastily handled, and it was even threatened in a sarcastic manner. Let's get back to the point.

Kang Sheng first questioned the source of the intelligence Zhao Ziqi brought:

"...Comrade Zhao Ziqi, you're not in charge of intelligence work. Where did you get this information?" "...It was from an enthusiastic young man who participated in the Shanghai West Strike a few days ago..."

"Is that young man a Party member? Where is he? Can you invite him over?" "He sent someone to deliver the information and then left."

"How did he find you? How did you contact him? And who was the person who sent the information..." "Okay, okay, Comrade Kang Sheng."

Bo Gu interrupted impatiently:

"What's important now isn't how we got the information, but how we handle it! Should we report it to the Soviet area?"

Kang Sheng narrowed his eyes and glanced at Bo Gu, but said nothing more. Li Zhusheng expressed his support:

"Comrade Bogu is right. Regardless of where this information came from or who sent it, it is indeed very important to the Soviet Red Army. I suggest that we immediately send it to the Soviet Central Committee for verification by telegram!" But Lu Futan objected:

"I support Comrade Kang Sheng's idea. The source of this intelligence is too suspicious. It cannot be easily sent to the Soviet Central Bureau. Otherwise, it will interfere with the Soviet Red Army's combat plan! Wang Yuncheng also opposed sending a telegram to the Soviet Central Bureau:

"I even suspect that this isn't a trick by the reactionaries to slow down the Red Army's operations. Otherwise, why would they send us this intelligence at this very moment?" Zhao Ziqi responded immediately.

"Impossible! Although that young man is indeed suspicious and his behavior is incomprehensible, he is definitely not a reactionary!" "How can you guarantee that?"

Kang Sheng once again questioned:

"The behavior is incomprehensible and suspicious in itself!"

"That man helped us disrupt a Japanese assassination attempt against the Shanghai West General Strike!"

"So what? Don't forget the lesson of last year. The reactionaries are very cunning!"

"..."

Everyone started arguing again.

Fortunately, Zhao Ziqi didn't mention Mark's protection of Soong Ching Ling, otherwise everyone would have argued even more fiercely. Zhang Wentian and Chen Yun, who hadn't spoken yet, looked at each other, and the latter said:

"I think it's at least impossible for them to be reactionaries, and even more unlikely for them to be on the side of the Japanese invaders." Chen Yun has always been a steady person who plans before acting, so everyone still takes his opinions seriously. "What do you mean?"

"If it were the reactionaries, spreading this kind of information at this time would only heighten the Red Army's vigilance and harm the Ganzhou Campaign. They would definitely not do that."

"If it was the Japanese invaders, they should not have reminded us, because objectively speaking, the Communist International asking us to launch the Ganzhou Campaign would attract the attention of the Kuomintang.

It will be beneficial for the Japanese army to invade Songhu!"

Everyone agreed with the previous words, but the last sentence made Kang Sheng jump up again:

"Comrade Chen Yun, what do you mean? Are you blaming the Chinese Nationalist Party? Or are you accusing us of launching the Ganzhou Campaign?"

Huang Ping, who had been elected to the Politburo thanks to Moscow's strong support and had been in an awkward position, facing widespread criticism and accusations, also weakly rebuked: "Comrade Chen Yun, you shouldn't say that! This is an attack on the Communist International's decision!"

A big "井" (well) appeared on Chen Yun's forehead. He hated this kind of accusation the most.

I clearly added "objectively speaking" before speaking, so why didn't these two guys understand? However, Chen Yun did not dare to refute Kang Sheng and Huang Ping.

Because, on January 9 of this year, the Provisional Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee issued the "Resolution on Striving for the First Victory of the Revolution in One or Several Provinces," which emphasized several points: 1. The middle faction is the "most dangerous enemy" of the Chinese revolution and "should be attacked with the main force";

2. To truly make revolution, the Red Army must seize the "central cities" and strive for "the first victory in Hunan, Hubei, and Jiangxi provinces";

3. In the Kuomintang-controlled areas, the Party’s primary task was to “use the greatest possible force to launch strike struggles among urban workers” in response to and in coordination with the Red Army’s actions; 4. To call on the masses to consciously arm themselves and “overthrow the Kuomintang government that was colluding with imperialism.”

Under the guidance of such ideas, the strike in Shanghai appeared so radical;

It was precisely because of this that on December 6 last year, the Provisional Central Committee instructed the First Red Army to "take Ganzhou first"; on January 10, the Central Revolutionary Military Commission formally issued an order to attack Ganzhou.

How does Chen Yun refute?

He even signed this document! Attacking the Communist International?
