1932: Playing with the Japanese Communist Party with a doll

Looking at the disheveled Wang Ming, Wang Jiaxiang snorted coldly, without any sympathy in his heart.

Thinking of those comrades who were deliberately killed because of Wang Ming's selfishness, Wang Jiaxiang didn't pull out his pistol and shoot the bastard, which was already a consideration for the overall situation!

This guy, from his youth to old age, has always been a "scholar" who firmly believes in the truth, has a clear distinction between love and hate, and only considers principles rather than human feelings;

Otherwise, he would not have supported Li Desheng's ideas shortly after arriving in the Soviet area, and would not have often opposed Li Desheng on some details.

Otherwise, historically, this guy has been in the central government for a long time but still only recognizes corps-level cadres and division-level cadres, so that he has never had a high position in the party and has not cared about it;

Otherwise, Wu Hao would not have chosen him to lead the way to Moscow, give him instructions in person, and specifically asked him to report on the Wang Ming issue.

This is an extremely sharp multi-faceted knife that can kill Wang Ming while also injuring other people.

After thoroughly blasting Wang Ming, Wang Jiaxiang gave Mi Fu a cold look. Remembering the organization's order, he suppressed the urge to blast the bastard as well and asked the Executive Committee Secretary and others for instructions:

"...The above is our report on the Chen Shaoyu incident! Please review it by the Executive Committee!"

His tone was harsh, but no one paid any attention.

Now, the concern is not about this issue, but whether the entire Communist International will be punished by Moscow!

Who is Wang Ming?

It is no exaggeration to say that he was someone who was strongly supported by the entire Communist International!

Don't think that Wang Ming only licked Mif. In fact, almost every leader of the entire Communist International was covered in his saliva! (Ugh, I'm disgusted by writing this)

Piatnitsky, Kuusinen, West, Mif... who among them had not received a personal letter from Wang Ming?

Look at those cheesy words!

"My dear," "My beloved," "My most respected," "My heart is broken and tears are streaming!" "Seeing the mistakes of the company (referring to the Party organization), I can't help but burst into tears"; (original words in the letter)

Even though Wang Ming's focus was on licking Mif, other people in the Communist International were also served comfortably by him and thus had a favorable impression of him.

In addition, when the disobedient Li Lisan was being liquidated, Wang Ming was definitely the one who rushed the hardest, rushed the most crazily, and liquidated the most thoroughly, so the Communist International naturally supported Mif in establishing him.

With the strong support of the Communist International, if nothing unexpected happens, after a few more operations, Wang Ming will definitely become the top leader of the Communist Party of China when he is around 30 years old.

However, the greater the support given in the beginning, the more severe the backlash will be now that Wang Ming has gotten into trouble, and it is such a principled and unforgivable problem.

For the sake of his own power, he deliberately leaked intelligence to the reactionaries, resulting in the arrest and sacrifice of a large number of comrades. If this behavior happened in the Soviet Union, he would be purged ten thousand times and it would not be enough to atone for his sins!

Even Stalin, who was described as "gentle and low-key" by the Japanese named "Nosaka Sanzo", would never forgive Wang Ming!

Wang Ming was bound to die, but what about Mif, who promoted him? What about the Communist International, which supported Mif in promoting Wang Ming?

The most crucial point is that this matter is so huge that the Communist International cannot possibly conceal it!

Unless all the CCP insiders are killed, the Kremlin will definitely know!

At that point...

Piatnitsky shuddered.

Stalin had always been dissatisfied with the Communist International's work in the Far East, otherwise he would not have disbanded and reorganized the "Eastern Department" again and again.

(The "Eastern Department" was messed up by Stalin many times. The Eastern Department was changed to the Far Eastern Department, then divided into the Far Eastern Department and the Near Eastern Department, and then dissolved and reorganized into the Eastern Department. The Eastern Secretariat was dissolved and re-established... It's a headache to read it all.)

(As I said, it’s just a novel, so I won’t explain it so clearly.) So, since Wang Ming and Mif’s affair cannot be concealed, we must not let ourselves, the Eastern Department, or even the entire Communist International be implicated!

Fortunately, the Chinese comrades were relatively "sensible" and only attacked Wang Ming from beginning to end, without involving the Communist International itself, leaving room for recovery.

I can only say that Wu Hao is worthy of being Wu Hao.

He accurately guessed the thoughts of the leaders of the Communist International.

As long as the CCP only targeted Wang Ming and did not foolishly file a complaint directly or directly involve Mif or even the Communist International itself, it could successfully avoid being bitten back by the other side.

After all, the Communist International was the CCP's big brother. If they were completely enraged and forced to confront the CCP, the CCP would lose even if it won. The only way to resolve the issue was to bring it before Stalin.

Besides, what if the matter came before Stalin?

After such a huge loss of face, considering the adverse political impact, it is still unknown who Stalin will protect!

Even if we defeat the current leadership of the Communist International, what about the next one? Won't they bear grudges against this one?

Instead, they have more room to deal with the CCP!

But now, the CCP's "subtle" complaint not only forces the Comintern to deal with Wang Ming and Mif, but also makes the other side's "arrogance" much more restrained in the future!

It is not impossible to force the CCP to appoint someone as its leader. After all, the CCP is still weak and still has to rely on the Soviet Union.

However, if the CCP is not satisfied, Wu Hao and others will have to bring up the mess between Wang Ming and Mi Fu and have a good discussion about it.

In short, the situation that the CPC Central Committee wanted has been achieved.

Piatnitsky, Secretary of the Executive Committee of the Communist International, Safarov, Minister of the Eastern Department, Kuusinin, Secretary of the Eastern Secretariat, and others exchanged glances and instantly confirmed that the other party's thoughts were the same as their own:

Sacrifice a pawn to save the rook!

At least Wang Ming must die!

With this in mind, Safarov, the Minister of the Eastern Department, looked back and said sternly: "Comrade Klaubev! Please explain the problem mentioned by the Communist Party comrades!"

江

Silence fell.

After all, Wang Ming had already fainted and couldn't explain even if he wanted to.

So, naturally, the Eastern Secretariat Secretary Kuusinin turned his firepower on Wang Ming's teacher Mif:

"Comrade Mif, since Comrade Klaubev is unable to answer the questions for the time being, please answer the following questions: Are you aware of Comrade Klaubev's questions?"

Mifu was cold all over.

He knew very well that he was abandoned, but he had nothing to say.

There was no way. Among those who supported Wang Ming, he was the one who put the most effort into it.

Want to distance yourself from the matter? You have to make others believe you too!

From the time Wang Ming entered Sun Yat-sen University to the time he left for China, and from the time he returned to the Soviet Union to the present day, he and this man have been inseparable, and everyone has seen it!

It's over, it's over this time.

Mif felt depressed, but when he saw the unconscious Wang Ming and thought of Kuusinen's meaningful question, he suddenly felt a little more cheerful.

Do not!

There’s still a chance!

This is Wang Ming's personal behavior, and has nothing to do with me! I just didn't know him well! I just failed to notice for a moment!

What's more, I really had no idea that Wang Ming had betrayed his comrades! Hints don't count!

Comrade Kuusinen, I got your hint!

No matter how much he doted on Wang Ming, Mi Fu would never really sacrifice himself for an outsider, so he decisively chose to abandon him:

"No, Comrade Secretary, Comrade Minister, I was not aware of these things. At that time, I thought..."

Passing the buck is a basic skill for a bureaucrat, and Mif, who started out as a political fighter, is no exception.

But, he overlooked one thing:

The CCP did indeed only reveal the fact that Wang Ming betrayed his comrades, but how can you be sure that he didn't have a backup plan?

Such deceptions between Moscow and the CCP's communication channels would be fine if they were not exposed, but if they were exposed, would they be able to withstand scrutiny?

After Mif's "perfect blame-shifting", Kuusinen decided to keep it, not to escalate the matter, and preferably not to bring it to Stalin's attention, so he looked at the CCP members:

"It seems that Klaubefu is malicious and has deliberately deceived our comrades. We will verify his issues. Thank you to the comrades in the Communist Party for your timely discovery..."

After saying a lot of things, the implicit meaning was that all the bad things were done by Wang Ming and some people within the Communist Party of China, and had nothing to do with the Communist International.

This was undoubtedly another attempt to shift the blame, but this time, Kuusinen, who was in the wrong, was a little uneasy about it, fearing that the Chinese Communist Party would pursue him and demand an explanation from the Comintern.

But unexpectedly, Wang Jiaxiang, who was of a tough character, didn't say much. He just nodded and returned to his seat. This made the people in the Communist International feel relieved and they quickly changed the subject.

The CCP officials seemed oblivious and continued to report on other matters as usual. Until a certain topic was brought up:

"...We request the Communist International to approve our nomination of Comrade Li Desheng as Secretary of the Political Bureau of the Central Soviet Area."

"...Um?"

Before Kuusinen could express his surprise, Safarov, the Minister of the Eastern Department, subconsciously asked in confusion:

"Wasn't Comrade Li Desheng appointed last year?"

好,

Kuusinen was stunned for two seconds, his face turned pale; Mif's face became paler.

Because he understood that this time, it was probably not about sacrificing a pawn to save the chariot, but about sacrificing the chariot to save the king.

Did you see that?

This is the correct way to file a complaint.

287 Stalin’s Anger and the CCP’s Goals

Things got really bad.

When the CCP "inadvertently" reported something, it "accidentally" exposed something bigger:

The Chinese Communist Party was completely unaware that the Communist International had appointed Li Desheng as Secretary of the Political Bureau of the Central Soviet Area in November of the previous year.

Piatnitsky, Kuusinen, Safarov and others were very sure that after the Comintern made its resolution, it was immediately forwarded to the Chinese Communist Party;

The Chinese Communist Party claimed that they did not receive this resolution, but they did receive other resolutions made at the same time.

This is very fatal.

There is no doubt that someone was involved in the concealment and distortion of the Comintern's orders.

Who is it?

It’s hard to say for sure right now, but almost everyone’s eyes unconsciously fell on Mif.

Because the person who was responsible for conveying the order to the CCP at that time was named Pavel Alexandrovich Mif!

Now, Mi Fu can no longer shift the blame. Even if he wants to, he can never put it on Wang Ming.

why?

Because, according to the meeting minutes, the resolution was made on November 3, 1931, and then immediately forwarded to the CCP;

但是，王明是在1931年10月18日与孟庆树、吴克贤、卢镜如等人一起秘密乘日本船离沪赴苏，于11月7日抵达莫斯科，10日就任中共驻共产国际代表的!

You said this was also done by Wang Ming?

Sorry, when the Communist International made the above resolution and sent the telegram, Wang Ming was still on the way!

The reason why we are not completely sure that it was Mif who did it is because Mif is still defending himself, saying that he clearly sent the message, but for some reason the CCP did not receive it - perhaps it was a technical problem.

However, one thing is certain: the nature of this incident is so egregious and the situation so serious that we must report it to the Kremlin and send a Central Commission for Discipline Inspection team to investigate!

Because Mif was the deputy minister of the Eastern Department of the Communist International, the only ones qualified to investigate him were the supervisory departments at a higher level!

In other words, Stalin had to intervene!

So, things got out of hand.

The leaders of the Communist International no longer dared to conceal the matter and rushed to the Kremlin to report the matter in detail to Comrade Stalin in person.

Half an hour later, they left with their latest orders:

A joint special investigation team, spearheaded by the Central Committee and the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, with the cooperation of the NKVD and the GPU, will be immediately formed to begin investigating Wang Mingmifu, with the scope to be expanded as appropriate.

That's right, Stalin simply didn't believe that such a thing could be done by a mere Wang Ming or even a Mif. The entire Eastern Department and even the entire Communist International might have to be investigated!

At the same time, Stalin summoned three comrades sent by the Chinese Communist Party to the Soviet Union and asked them in person about the cause and effect.

Upon hearing the news, Kuusinen and the others were terrified but also relieved.

They were terrified because they knew very well how many problems existed within the Communist International. If something else was discovered, the situation would be very embarrassing.

They were relieved because they knew that they were indeed not involved in the mess that Wang Mingmifu was doing, so "actively" reporting was, in a sense, a merit.

It's better than being discovered by Comrade Stalin one day!

The only point that is worthy of doubt is the fact that the CCP comrades were summoned by Stalin personally. However, judging by their treatment of the issues of Wang Ming and Mif, they should not be so foolish as to say anything nonsense.

Moreover, although Stalin criticized them in his notice, his tone was not harsh, and it seemed that he did not intend to implicate them in the Namib incident.
