1932: Playing with the Japanese Communist Party with a doll

Moreover, there was the existence of this "World Communist Revolutionary Party" that had appeared out of nowhere and seemed to possess immense power, yet the Soviet Union knew nothing about it to this day!

What if the CCP is pushed too far and the other side simply leads all the Communist parties in East Asia to join the "World Revolutionary Party"?

No, the CCP must never be forced.

Judging from the list of the new members of the Political Bureau and the Standing Committee of the CPC Central Committee, the CPC's "localization tendency" is more serious than before, but overall it still leans towards the Soviet Union;

Therefore, the Soviet Union must demonstrate its "grace" and win back the CCP's "heart"!

However, Stalin couldn't help but feel a little uneasy and sad. For the first time, he had a relatively reliable younger brother;

For the first time, I cultivated comrades who could help me fight on the front line; the two joys overlapped.

This double joy brought more and more joy;

We should have had a dreamlike happy time, but why did it turn out like this?

(Snap!)

"Well, if this party can actually support you financially, that would certainly be a good thing..."

After Stalin said a few words, he changed the subject:

"But you must pay attention to ideological issues, prevent being influenced by reactionaries or revisionists, and try your best to understand the party's purpose and obtain more information."

"You are right, Comrade Stalin." "You are right, we will pay attention to it." "Yes, we are investigating them too.

The attitudes of the three new members of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and (alternate) members, Wang Jiaxiang, Qu Qiubai and Ren Bishi, could not be said to be cold, but they were not very enthusiastic either.

It was as if it were just a routine matter. The CCP has indeed changed its mind. I was clearly here first!

289 Ah Su, you are a good person, but Ah Shi treats me better

No matter how much you learn, things have already happened. The World Revolutionary Party, which came from nowhere, has begun to provide strong assistance to the CCP. The Soviet Union, which cannot tolerate losing the CCP, must follow suit.

Stalin quickly realized what the problem was and coughed lightly:

"Alright, let's put the matter of the World Revolutionary Party aside for now and talk about future aid!"

"Good Comrade Stalin! Regarding this matter..."

Could you please not be so obvious!

In any case, the CCP’s little trick was successful, and the speculations of Wu Hao, Ma Shiwu and others were also verified.

Faced with the "strong competition" from the "World Revolutionary Party", the attitude of the Soviet Union, or at least Stalin himself, did indeed "soften" a lot.

Not only did he not criticize the CCP's "unauthorized" and "betrayal" behavior, but he also offered soothing words, as if he was afraid that the CCP would run away.

Moreover, when it comes to aiding the CCP, he has changed his previous stinginess and become extremely generous. He does not always respond to the CCP's requests for funds, materials, weapons, etc., but at least he rarely refuses them.

At least, within the scope of the list of materials that the SRP has already provided, there is no option to refuse this, and almost everything is given.

How should I put it? It's a bit like the unkempt, uninteresting wife who discovers her husband has been seduced by his mistress and is forced to learn how to dress up and flirt in order to win him back...

Ahem... I always feel like something is weird...

Most importantly, Stalin promised that future aid to the CCP would be provided directly to the CCP Central Committee by the Soviet Union, without going through the Communist International.

This is a pretty big change.

Obviously, Stalin also realized that there seemed to be more than a hundred million insects in the Communist International. After passing through that group of people, no one could tell how many of them would end up in the hands of the Chinese Communist Party.

So, since we've already decided to communicate directly, why not just take care of everything?

In short, the CCP's dispatch of special representatives to Moscow this time was absolutely fruitful:

The elimination of Wang Ming and Mif, who had been commanding the Communist Party blindly, forced the Comintern to report the matter to the Kremlin and reduce its interference in the CCP, and dealt a heavy blow to certain factions that had been licking the Soviet Union too hard;

This forced Stalin to investigate the problems within the Communist International, to begin recognizing the role and status of the Chinese Communist Party, and to readily agree to provide more practical assistance.

After so many years, so many people’s efforts, begging everyone and practically kneeling down to the Soviet Union, we still couldn’t achieve such an effect!

Wang Quren knew exactly who deserved the credit for this.

If the World Revolutionary Party had not existed, would the Soviet Union have changed its attitude so quickly? To put it bluntly, the Chinese Communist Party is now wearing the skin of the World Revolutionary Party, appearing extremely powerful, so it has received corresponding respect.

Otherwise, how could we have such a good situation today?

As we all know, up to this point, the Kuomintang, the enemy of the Chinese Communist Party, has been the main recipient of aid from the communist Soviet Union in East Asia!

What a face of nationalism and national interest supremacy (not in a derogatory sense). In fact, anyone with a little common sense can understand this. It’s just that many people are filtered by the Soviet Union and are unwilling to admit it.

Now, whether the Soviet Union will continue to assist the Kuomintang is not the point, but at least the assistance to the Communist Party of China will inevitably be greatly increased.

Wang Jiaxiang took Qu Qiubai and Ren Bishi to the Soviet Union for treatment, while continuing to discuss the specific implementation of the aid with people personally arranged by Stalin.

Then, they quickly learned what "Soviet-style bureaucracy" was.

Comrade Stalin agreed?

Well, well, since he agrees, then I must agree;

It's just that Curry has no goods/shipping capacity is limited/roads are blocked/can't be shipped to China for the time being/some details about the aid are still under discussion...there's nothing I can do!

Wang Jiaxiang's temper became even more impatient, and he almost quarreled with the Soviet officials in charge of the negotiations. However, Ren Bishi and Qu Qiubai, who had experienced some things, saw it more clearly:

It was not just the bureaucrats who were being bureaucratic, but Stalin who was still hesitant.

I'm afraid he is doubting whether the "World Revolutionary Party" mentioned by the CCP really exists, so he has been sending people to investigate and waiting for further information to verify it before deciding whether to keep his promise.

As a national leader of the Soviet Union, this kind of thinking and behavior is undoubtedly correct, just like Stalin's assistance to the Kuomintang and peaceful coexistence with Japan, which were also based on considerations of national interests;

The increasingly mature leaders of the Chinese Communist Party actually understood this and did not think it was a particularly big problem. Since the Soviet Union felt that our value was not enough, then we should strive to demonstrate higher value!

However, everything is afraid of comparison.

When the truly selfless aid from the S.W.R.P. emerged, the Soviets' behavior suddenly seemed extremely petty and unpleasant.

Not only Wang Jiaxiang, but also Qu Qiubai and Ren Bishi could not help but have an idea in their minds:

If the aid from the KMT was larger and more stable, we might as well not ask for aid from the Soviet Union to avoid this unnecessary trouble.

Look at the World Revolutionary Party!

Look at you Soviets!

Of course, it’s not possible at the moment, so everyone can only endure the delay, suppress their temper and continue to talk.

Fortunately, compared with the previous perfunctory attitude, this time, although the Soviets were slow, they were still making progress bit by bit and did not come to a complete halt.

Time passed slowly in this day-by-day wrangling. Just when Wang Quren and others were beginning to get impatient, Stalin summoned them again:

"...Comrades, Wang Ming's case has been reviewed and the facts of his crime are clear and the evidence is irrefutable. We will now hand him over to you for handling. Mif's case can be combined with the other cases..."

Um?

Several members of the Chinese Communist Party were shocked.

During this period, the Chinese Communist Party had been arguing with the Communist International about the issue of "who should deal with Wang Ming."

The Communist International claimed that Wang Ming was the CCP's representative to the Communist International, and that the CCP belonged to the Communist International's agency, so it must be under their jurisdiction;

The CCP believed that Wang Ming was a member of the Chinese Communist Party and that what he did was endangering the CCP and the Chinese revolution, so it was the CCP that should execute him.

This question may seem frivolous, but it is actually a struggle for dominance between the two sides, and another attempt by the Chinese Communist Party to break free from the influence and control of the Communist International;

Stalin and the Communist International certainly understood the intentions of the CCP, a younger brother who had always been somewhat "disobedient", and naturally wanted to hold it back.

But several people in the CCP were very unhappy.

If a member of the CCP made a mistake, the CCP had no authority to deal with it and had to wait for the Communist International and the Soviet Union to make a decision. How could the CCP really be considered "independent"?

The three words proposed by Comrade Ma Shiwu of the World Revolutionary Party have been deeply embedded in the hearts of every Communist Party member who attended the meeting at that time.

(There have been many such incidents in history, especially during the Great Purge, when many CCP members who had only stayed in the Soviet Union were affected, and many were executed. This shows how brutal the Russians were.)

Unexpectedly, this time, the Soviets not only handed over Wang Ming, but also let them deal with Mif.

You actually gave in again? What happened?

Soon, they found out why:

News came from China that the Red Fourth Front Army led by Li Desheng defeated the National Army led by Chiang Kai-shek and trapped Chiang himself in Wuhan, unable to move.

it is good!

Wang Jiaxiang and others were all very happy.

They certainly knew that Li Desheng had replaced Zhang Guotao and was heading north to the Hubei-Henan-Anhui base area, but they had no idea that in just two months, the other side had achieved such great success!

In fact, Stalin was also shocked when he received this news, but what surprised him even more was another piece of unverified intelligence:

Chiang Kai-shek's 30 nationalist troops were probably not simply "defeated" but were most likely "completely annihilated"!

Not only Stalin, but even the intelligence officials did not believe this piece of information at all, so they put a big "unverified" mark on it.

If Stalin hadn't recently requested an increase in intelligence gathering and exploration of China, this outrageous information would never have reached the Kremlin!

However, at the very least, it is true that the Nationalist army was defeated, and it is also likely true that Chiang Kai-shek was surrounded in Wuhan;

Then, the rumor that "Chiang's army was completely annihilated" is most likely not groundless!

But how could those 4-plus people (reported by Wang Jiaxiang) have the guts to surround Wuhan?

Even if it has expanded a bit during this period, including guerrillas and the like, it will definitely not exceed 10!

How did a few tens of thousands of people defeat or even completely wipe out 30 people?!

Unable to figure this out no matter how hard he tried, and because all the intelligence agencies had searched through their databases and found nothing about the "World Revolutionary Party," Stalin became very anxious:

"Comrades, did the Shihua Revolutionary Party you mentioned earlier participate in this battle? Was it Comrade Ma...? Were there others involved?"

"Well..."

Wang Jiaxiang hesitated for a second, but ultimately decided not to bring up the matter of "World Revolutionary Party members having dual identities" to provoke the Soviets:

"I only know that before we left, Comrade Ma went north with Comrade Li Desheng, but we are not sure whether other comrades from the World Revolutionary Party were involved."

Realizing that the CCP was hiding something from him, Stalin snorted in his heart.

Just as he did not believe that the Chinese had the ability to resist the Korean War, Stalin did not believe that this was an achievement of the Chinese people themselves.

Sure enough, it must be this "World Revolutionary Party" that did something in the middle that allowed the CCP to achieve such a great victory.

If it were the Soviet Red Army, it would not be difficult to defeat Chiang Kai-shek, and it would not take much effort to annihilate the enemy.

However, achieving their goals silently like this would be difficult. Perhaps there were already a large number of "World Revolutionary Party" members hiding within the Soviet Union! Humph! That "anti-party and traitorous group" that had sabotaged the Soviet intelligence front in Shanghai!

We must be vigilant! We must conduct a long and thorough investigation! We must eliminate all those Trotskyists who may endanger the Soviets! However, in the meantime, we must first stabilize the Chinese Communist Party, which was the first to come into contact with the World Revolutionary Party, and ask them to help with the investigation.

Therefore, without waiting for the Chinese Communist Party to speak first, Stalin took the initiative to talk about aid:

"Comrades..."

Under Stalin's strong order, no Soviet bureaucrats would procrastinate anymore, and excuses such as "inconvenient transportation" disappeared instantly.

290 Trotsky: This world is crazy!

Just as Stalin was thinking about how to deal with the "Trotskyists" in the party and investigating the "World Revolutionary Party" which was obviously closely linked to the "Trotskyists", on a small island far away in Turkey.

"Comrade Trotsky! Comrade Trotsky!"

A young man ran in excitedly, waving a newspaper and shouting:

"Comrade Trotsky! Look at this! Oh! This is shocking news! This is absolutely in line with your theory of world revolution!"

An old man wearing old-fashioned round frames, with gray beard and hair, and a very elegant demeanor, who would probably be strangely familiar to future generations of Chinese people, and with tears in his mouth, reluctantly stopped writing and looked at the visitor:

"Comrade, you've once again successfully interrupted my train of thought. Should I praise you?"

"Ah! My apologies, Comrade Trotsky! It's just that today's news is too shocking..."

"Okay, okay, you don't have to be like this. I'm not angry. Bring it over here! Let me see what news could have made you like this..."

Trotsky adjusted his glasses, took the newspaper from the young man, glanced at it briefly, and his pupils shrank tightly.

Veterans go to Beijing to demand their wages?

Was the US military defeated in suppressing the crackdown? Did the White House fall?

President Hoover was hanged from a flagpole???

The two sides reached a series of terms that were very favorable to the veterans? Holy crap!
