1932: Playing with the Japanese Communist Party with a doll

What a lot of strength.

Also, what was that black rod-like thing that just flashed by?

The tall maid straightened her skirt, hid the four energy machine guns, and said calmly: "You can call me agent."

"...agent.."

Pan Hannian pondered over the name.

Obviously, this is a code name, just like his "Xiao Kai". But what is that Ma Dong just now?

Ma Dong what?

Never mind, it’s probably just a code name, it’s not important.

"Now, tell me, what kind of help does your party intend to give us?"

"it is good."

The agent clapped his hands, and the door of a room behind him opened. A woman holding an unknown submachine gun (actually an assault rifle, but that wasn't the concept at the time) came in.

The man came out with five people.

Lu Futan, Kang Sheng, Li Zhusheng, Huang Ping, and Wang Yuncheng.

068 Spring breeze makes Moscow green again

Although he had expected this, Pan Hannian couldn't help but take a deep breath when he saw the five tightly bound "comrades." It was indeed them.

But why did he end up in the hands of the "World Revolutionary Party"? Did the "World Revolutionary Party" rescue him, or...

Pan Hannian's various speculations hadn't yet fully formed when Lu Futan, who was walking in front, suddenly looked up and recognized him. He paused for a second, then said in surprise, "You surrendered too... Have you suddenly come to your senses?"

"? ? ?"

"Shut up."

The escorting female soldier only hummed softly, and Lu Futan, like a quail being watched by an eagle, shrank his head and dared not speak again. It was obvious that this woman had caused him a great deal of psychological trauma.

Pan Hannian stared at the agent, who calmly explained:

"We arrested all nine of you from the CPC Central Committee, and we also have all the radio stations in our hands. In other words, we deliberately orchestrated this incident.

Pan Hannian stopped his restless subordinates and asked in a deep voice;

"I need a clearer explanation."

But before the agent could explain, Kang Sheng suddenly realized and shouted, "You are not members of the Kuomintang!"

Just as he finished speaking, he was hit in the abdomen by the butt of a gun and fell to the ground in pain.

"It doesn't matter whether we are Kuomintang or not, but it is true that you are traitors... You surrendered so quickly, your moral integrity is even worse than that of a prostitute." The woman who beat Kang Sheng glanced at him and the other four traitors with disgust. Lu, Li, Huang, Wang, and Kang all lowered their heads.

I don’t know if it’s fear, regret, shame, or maybe all of the above.

After the scene calmed down, the agent slowly began to explain:

In short, we captured these nine people and put them through some necessary tests. Unfortunately, five of them failed the first step... We didn't even use torture."

After figuring out the whole story, to be honest, Pan Hannian and the comrades from the Central Special Branch present felt very complicated.

On the one hand, the people being treated as prisoners, once their leaders and comrades, were arrested and interrogated without cause right under their noses, and the responsibility placed on them was something everyone would feel bad about. On the other hand, according to the agent, the intelligence gathered over the past few days, and the physical condition of the five men, they had indeed surrendered without being tortured, which was truly shameful for a Communist Party member. Holding the five men's "letters of surrender" in his hands, Pan Hannian didn't know how to evaluate them.

He really wanted to curse, "What a lunatic! Why are you arresting our people for interrogation for no reason?" But they really helped them uncover five potential traitors! If they could surrender to the fake KMT (the Shih Chien Party), they could naturally surrender to the real KMT as well.

Just like Gu Shunzhang, this kind of person, who holds a high position and has no moral integrity, will inevitably become a great disaster if he is arrested in the future. So, for being caught early, the CCP should actually be grateful to the World Revolutionary Party?

Having said that, it was a real shame that they were chosen by Mif, Wang Ming, and Wu Hao to become members of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee... Pan Hannian sighed deeply inwardly and bowed earnestly to the agent:

"Thank you. Now please hand these five traitors over to us!"

"You guys are really funny. You didn't kill this traitor who has been proven guilty, but kept him alive for the New Year?" "Huh?"

Before Pan Hannian could react, the female soldier who was guarding him pulled out a dagger from her thigh and stabbed the necks of the five men one after another with swiftness and precision.

After she pulled the dagger out of the last man's neck and moved away to avoid being splashed with blood, the first person fell to the ground, covering his wound, twitching and groaning.

Soon, five members of the Politburo Standing Committee, many of whom had caused immense harm to the Party and the people, were found dead in a strange villa, their deaths occurring without a trace. The decisiveness of the attack was such that even the victims themselves could not have anticipated it.

“La La Shu! !”

Seeing this, the comrades of the Central Special Branch instinctively drew their weapons, but were stopped by Pan Hannian: "Don't move!"

Putting aside the fact that these five men deserved death, the fact that they weren't searched upon entering clearly showed that the Shih KMT was fearless. If they dared to open fire, countless bullets would have erupted from every corner of this house. Everyone was indeed not afraid of sacrifice, but someone had to bring news of the Shih KMT to the Soviet area!

Pan Hannian forced himself to ignore the body still spurting blood and twitching on the ground, and asked: "Where are the other four people and the radio and their belongings?"

"We will hand everything over to you later, but we have destroyed the radio station that allowed you to contact Moscow." "...Why?"

"Before I answer this question, I would like to ask you a question."

"What?"

"Do you think the slogans you Chinese Communist Party shouted, such as 'Armed Defense of the Soviet Union,' are correct?"

Pan Hannian was silent for a moment, then suddenly stuttered:

"Is there...something wrong with this?"

"Okay, let me ask you one more question. You chose to join the Communist Party, risked your lives in revolution, and sacrificed so many comrades, all to defend a strange country far away?" "Uh..."

"Aren't you armed to save the people of the vast land of China?"

Pan Hannian was speechless, but a subordinate next to him couldn't help but interrupt:

"Only by defending the Soviet Union can we, China, with the support of the Soviet Union, carry forward the revolutionary cause..."

"Defend the Soviet Union? How can you defend it? You can't even send troops there, what are you defending?" "Only by supporting them can we get guidance from Moscow and the Communist International..."

"There's a Chinese saying: 'If you don't have a butcher, you'll have to eat hairy pigs.'"

The agent retorted calmly:

"So, without the support of the Soviet Union and the Communist International, there would be no revolution in China? The success in Jinggangshan was due to their guidance. They proposed the correct concept of encircling the cities from the countryside?" "Encircling the cities from the countryside is a wrong, escapist idea!"

"...Attacking the big cities was right? Workers' riots were right? So many people died, didn't you see?"

There is no end to the debate on this topic.

Pan Hannian once again stopped his subordinates' debate and asked:

"You don't want us to contact Moscow or the Communist International? Why?"

"It's not that I don't want you to have any contact, but I don't want to see a political party that still has some promise become completely useless and suffer unnecessary losses due to Soviet interference." The agent coldly conveyed Mark's original words:

"From the perspective of us in the World Revolutionary Party, the current CCP lives like the sons of the Soviets. Whenever I fart, you sons sniff it over and over again like perfume." "Oh, to say you are sons is not entirely accurate. In fact, you are not only the sons of the Soviets, but also the unfavored illegitimate children."

".."

The entire Central Special Branch team was furious at being insulted like this, but they were powerless to refute.

In fact, as “grassroots personnel” working within the Central Committee, they were both most aware of the Comintern’s “influence,” and also least aware of it. The former meant that, through constant personnel changes, they clearly sensed how the Comintern was interfering in the selection of CCP leaders.

For example, how could Wang Ming, who had no presence in the CCP and was despised by Li Lisan and everyone else, have risen to power if Mif had not come to China the year before?

The latter means that even those without access to the secret communications between the Central Committee and the Communist International knew that Moscow's so-called "support" was basically just talk. For example, didn't Mif say that he gave us a lot of money to support our revolution?

What about the money?

Oh, yes, money was indeed "given".

Last month, I helped sell a batch of vodka, and the Soviets gave a portion of the proceeds to the Central Committee. Several comrades transferred from the Soviet areas felt this even more clearly.

In fact, among the middle and grassroots commanders and fighters in the Central Soviet Area and other Soviet areas, there were many who were dissatisfied with the policies of the CPC Central Committee and the Communist International.

Especially after the "Great Purge of Counterrevolutionaries in Western Fujian" and the "Futian Incident," many people secretly cursed, saying things like "They're not doing their jobs, they're just killing people." Many middle- and lower-level commanders and fighters directly led their troops into rebellion. And were there no high-ranking officials in the Soviet area who felt any resentment towards the Communist International and the Soviets?

Of course not.

Otherwise, the "November Telegraph Incident" would not have happened last year (the Central Bureau of the Soviet Area demanded that Xiang Yin step down and be replaced by a teacher).

Not to mention, the Communist International and the CPC Central Committee had always wanted to deal with Li Desheng (they thought, adding this sentence to prevent arguments), but the Central Bureau of the Soviet Area always pretended to obey and secretly disobeyed."

At Wang Ming's request, Li Desheng was criticized at the Gannan Conference, and indeed he was criticized. However, in terms of organizational procedures, the Soviet Central Bureau did not deal with Li Desheng, nor did it remove him from many of his positions. Ren Bishi, who opposed Li Desheng on many issues, fully supported him during the "Second Counter-Encirclement and Suppression Campaign" and participated in promoting the "Mao replacing Xiang" strategy.

Even Bo Gu, who was the main force in suppressing Li Desheng according to Wang Ming's instructions, actually chose to support Li Desheng's views on many issues; all decisions must be based on reality, not an order from far away.

If you really think that all members of the Communist Party of China are obedient "good kids" and that all cadres and staff in the Soviet area are blind, stupid, and foolish, then that's a joke. Pan Hannian was silent for half a minute and asked:

"Tell me, what do you want to do?"

"Since you, the Chinese Communist Party, are limited by various factors such as theory, funding, weapons, supplies, and technology, you are forced to accept the Soviet Union's support and listen to their orders." The agent clapped his hands again. UMP45 rolled her eyes, went to the room, dragged out a pile of things, and smiled slightly.

"...Then why must this supporter be the Soviets, and not our World Communist Revolutionary Party?"

boom!!

At this moment, a green light suddenly flashed in the Moscow sky.

069 How can something that is consensual between you and me be considered a Minotaur?

The World Revolutionary Party... assisted us... on behalf of the Soviets...

Pan Hannian's mind was overwhelmed by this horrific news. How to say it?

It's like a beautiful wife who is treated coldly by her husband and suddenly meets a gentle, kind, wealthy and generous man, but with a hair color that's a little... cough cough cough... so weird...

I won’t say any more. If I continue, I’ll have to imagine a notebook worth at least G.

Anyway, after a long time, Pan Hannian reluctantly replied:

"...I...I can't make the decision on this. I can only...I can only convey your words to the Central Committee...the Central Committee of the Soviet Area."

"Yes, the radio station is returned to you. You can pass it on. Before February 17, we will provide telegraph channel protection. You can send messages at will. It is absolutely safe.

February 17th?

Is there anything special about this day?

Pan Hannian nodded silently, and then heard the agent say:

"By the way, when you send the telegram, please give a message to the Soviet Central Committee for me."

"...Wha...what?"

".."

"Self-reliance, independence, and seeking truth from facts..."

Wu Hao pondered these words, his eyes brightening the more he thought about them. Even the joy of finally reconnecting with Shanghai faded into the background. These three words resonated so well with him that he began to think, "This is the attitude our Communist Party and China should take."

As for some people, they simply kept muttering to themselves while holding the telegram:

"Independence...seeking truth from facts..."

".."

Looks like someone likes it more than me.

Seeing Li Desheng completely lost in thought, Wu Hao shouted helplessly:

"Comrade Runzhi! Comrade Runzhi!" "Ah...ah?"

"Have you finished watching it? After you finish watching it, we..."

"That assessment of the father-son party and the son-son party is so accurate! If the Chinese Communist Party continues like this, we will become a complete vassal of the Soviets!" Li Desheng suddenly shouted, reaching for a pen and paper.

"I feel like I really want to write an article! Let's start with the four words 'seek truth from facts'!"

Because only by seeking truth from facts can we face reality, break free from the control of others, and find the path that truly suits China! "No... Let's first discuss how to respond to the demands of this World Communist Revolutionary Party."

"...oh..."

At this point, Li Desheng finally came to his senses, shook the telegram, and directly stated his conclusion to the three comrades:

"If what this party says is true, then I think accepting their assistance is far better than accepting assistance from the Soviets or the Communist International!" By the way, since attending that meeting, with everyone's tacit consent, Li Desheng stopped recuperating and returned to work in the Central Bureau of the Soviet Area.

This time, upon receiving the shocking telegram from the Shanghai Provisional Central Committee, for some reason, Wu Hao and General Zhu, who controlled the Radio Brigade, only notified Li and Wang immediately. As for Gu, Ren, Xiang, Deng, Peng and others, they seemed to have forgotten.

Facing Li Desheng's opinion, Wang Jiaxiang was the first to object:

"Comrade Desheng, I had never heard of this so-called World Communist Revolutionary Party when I was studying in the Soviet Union. I think choosing them is a bit too risky." Wu Hao also raised an objection:

Yes, Comrade Runzhi, we still don't know the details of this party. We don't know what they want to do, what they can give us, or what they want us to do... Why don't we find out the situation first?"

... "

General Zhu remained silent.
