Roosevelt did not know much about Trotsky before, except that he was Stalin's former political opponent.

However, Roosevelt knew too much about Stalin. He knew what he did in the Soviet Union, what his thoughts were, and what kind of person he was.

So, when Springfield talked about Trotsky's theories and ideas, Roosevelt discovered one thing:

Isn't this the policy Stalin was implementing?

Many things are not exactly the same, but at least there is no difference.

In other words, while Stalin was suppressing Trotsky and purging more political opponents in the name of "Trotskyists", he copied some of Trotsky's theories almost intact.

This is nothing, because this is the norm in politics and there is nothing wrong with it.

Roosevelt himself was a pragmatist. If there was something useful, he would never reject it for boring reasons such as "ideology".

The problem is, you can say "no" politically, but don't be stupid in your actions! You can say no with your mouth, but your body must be honest!

Using "XXism" as a tool to attack political opponents and smear them will only lead to fewer and fewer companions and make the country a mess.

"...You might think Ms. Field and I are representatives of capitalism, but we don't shy away from using communist things because they really work..."

"...So, we value the people at the bottom of society, we improve their welfare, and we force capitalists to make concessions so that they will support us more..."

"...How long do you think capitalism can continue if such an America is born?"

Hearing these words, Trotsky almost jumped up:

"You are committing chronic suicide! You are strangling yourself!" There is no doubt that the people are short-sighted.

They don't care whether it's capitalism or socialism, they only care whether their lives are getting better!

But, if capitalism develops into this kind of thing, is it still capitalism? Can it still be called capitalism?!

Trotsky was so stunned he could barely comprehend it, but this must have been very familiar to future generations of communists:

Read Marxism right way and use it backwards!

You can't even "reverse Marxism-Leninism," and you still have the nerve to call yourself a mature capitalist country?

It can't be that everyone is "unrepentant for President Milley's kindness," right?

"Yes, but isn't that what you said, 'The capitalists will sell the last rope that hangs them?'"

Roosevelt continued to smile:

“Perhaps capitalism will eventually die, but at least not now. At least everything we do will not cause capitalism to die immediately, so we don’t care whether we are accused of some strange things.”

Trotsky remained silent.

It’s not that no one has thought about “reforming capitalism” before, but capitalism is absolutely unwilling to take the initiative to change, and its counterattack is extremely fierce, so it has basically failed.

But now that a strong reformer and a state with sufficient weight have emerged, will there still be any problems with capitalist reform?

In the real competition between reformed capitalism and communism, which one is better?

Trotsky suddenly no longer expressed the confidence that “we will win”;

At the very least, if the Soviet Union did not reform, he no longer had the confidence to win in his lifetime.

Haruta took the opportunity to interrupt:

"Sir, since you have absolutely no place in the Soviet Union, and since we are willing to adopt your methodology, why don't you give it a try?"

Looking at Trotsky's distraught figure as he left under the escort of the NGW, Roosevelt asked softly:

"Field, do you think he would agree?"

He didn't even ask the question of whether it was suitable.

After all, under Chuntian's "guidance," he had recently read quite a few Chinese books and had gained a superficial understanding of "the doctrine of the mean," "selecting people on the basis of their talents," and "inclusiveness."

Most importantly, he had immense confidence in Springfield and had no doubt that he could control everything.

"Will do."

Chuntian is full of confidence:

"I know his ideals, I understand his ambitions, and I believe in his abilities. Even if he's not tempted now, he will be in the future. At least he'll stay in the United States! For me, that's enough!"

"I see, Field...By the way, there are several representatives from the Chinese government who would like to visit you..."

"Oh, help me find a reason to refuse! Before officially taking office, I will meet any foreign representatives for x days."

"clear."

"Oh, right, please be more concerned about establishing diplomatic relations with the Soviet Union. If it's not possible, try to complete it by the end of this year."

"You're giving me problems again." "Hahahahaha..."

On the other side, Trotsky returned to the apartment and asked his son Sedov about the situation. He asked him to notify his wife and children to seek refuge in the United States first, and then sat down by the window.

He planned to write a personal letter. "To my dear..."

Cross it out.

"To Joseph..."

No, it’s still too gentle, cross it out.

After much deliberation, Trotsky picked up his pen and fiercely wrote a line of large Russian characters on the letter paper:

"Damn Stalin: I'll fuck your mother!"

349 Hegang Massacre

Let’s not talk about how Trotsky managed to get his entire family to the United States or how he gently greeted Stalin’s entire family. Let’s turn our attention back to China.

"...By then, our Great Saint of Springfield can take her place..." Shenyang, a certain "commander behind the Saint" carefully explained his idea to the agent and other humanoids, trying to train them to become more independent beings.

Although we now have transoceanic radio stations that can provide remote commands, they are not as convenient as mobile phones and the Internet in later generations, so we cannot always rely on him and wait for him to make decisions.

Humanoids are also people!

Then, he realized he was overthinking;

In other words, because of the game, he had a slight misunderstanding about the technological level represented by the real humanoid that traveled from the distant year 2082.

Except for the "smart" ones like Alchemist, UMP9, and G11 who have no intention of having their own ideas at all, and Mark who has to show off a few bites of shit even if it tastes delicious, the understanding ability and learning speed of other humanoids far exceed his cognition.

At least, this is definitely the case with President Springfield and the Grand Steward's agent, who proposed "putting pressure on the Vatican by carrying out burnings at the stake and visiting China to supervise the executions."

"...I understand, Commander. I will take care of this matter and ensure that the prestige and reputation of the Holy See are undermined from all angles."

"Well, there's no need to do anything deliberate. Just find opportunities to slowly release negative information about them. This is a long-term process..."

There are so many negative things about Catholicism that they are secrets now, but in the future, even if they cannot be said to be known to everyone, they will at least be widely publicized.

"Yes, then, Commander, should we speak out in the name of Manchukuo?"

"Of course. Use the praise of Saint Springfield as the main theme to criticize the filth of the Vatican and Christianity... Start with this... Then do this..."

"And then have Springfield praise our actions in return?"

"Smart, smart, hehe, I just want to see how anxious His Holiness the Pope is... Oh, right, write an article comparing the government-run orphanages of the Qing Dynasty and the Christian Education Orphanages, to set the tone..."

"Attack the Kuomintang government and Christianity at the same time?"

"If you want to beat them up, just beat them up together. You can also curry favor with those Man Yi and make them pay more readily... Tsk tsk... They're worse than Dai Qing and they still have the nerve to brag about it. It's really embarrassing..."

"yes.….."

The agent followed the order and reported another matter: "Commander, the Jews are here to see you again." "Oh? Have they decided which piece of land they want?"

A few months ago, Abraham Joseph Kaufman, a representative of the Jews, came to Fujiwara no Kanezane, hoping to cooperate with Japan to acquire a piece of land in Northeast China as a Jewish private land.

In order to get a good deal on these damn Jews and cheat them out of their money, Fujiwara no Kanezane offered two pieces of land as temptation.

One is close to the historical "Battle of Nomonhan", and the other is close to Xingshan (the old name of Hegang) and the Soviet Union's "Jewish Autonomous Oblast".

During this period, the Jews were probably hesitating and observing whether the Japanese could finally take control of the Northeast, while at the same time trying to raise money and recruit people!

"Yes, Commander. They've chosen the Hegang plot of land and offered a good sum of money to bribe 40 and me. I hope you can expand the land when the final agreement is signed."

"Humph!"

Thinking of Kaufman's expression, Fujiwara Kanezane snorted coldly, then asked curiously:

"How much did they pay you two?"

"50 US dollars per person. 40 was confiscated due to identity issues. I accepted it."

"Fuck, they're so fucking rich... How about this, help me find a reason to not meet them first, let's just let them air it out for a bit!"

"So... you're going back to Japan for the Mid-Autumn Festival party?" "Well... okay, it's a good opportunity for Wanrong and Haozi and the others to meet..." "Commander, Wanrong is the emperor now, so her status..." "Just bring her back secretly..."

Soon, three powerful articles were published in the name of Emperor Wanrong of Manchukuo, the Executive Yuan of Manchukuo and "Owner Hachimangu Kanezane" respectively.

One was a formal document issued in the tone of China's legitimate government, condemning the tyranny of Christian churches and the negligence of the Nationalist government. There was nothing much to say;

One article strongly supported President Springfield, praised the CCP's exposure, and boasted in detail about the achievements of the Qing Dynasty's orphanages, while also criticizing the Vatican and the Republic of China.

One article is about Fujiwara no Kanezane further elaborating on his political views, emphasizing "Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Belt" and "the legitimacy of Manchukuo".

The writing style of the article cannot be said to be very good, but the data is extremely detailed and the content is quite explosive, which immediately set off a wave of public opinion at home and abroad.

How could the Japanese government, which is known for its boastfulness, miss such a good opportunity?

So they followed up with a letter of condemnation, praising Prince Kanezane for his greatness while also boasting about how the Imperial Japanese Army "loved the people like their own children" and "did not harm a single hair."

Looking at that description, people who don't know the situation might think that the Japanese army is a saintly force comparable to the Chinese People's Liberation Army in later generations!

Hmm... But then again, at least the 4th Division and the Independent Guard Corps under Fujiwara no Kanezane did have potential in this area. After having some heads chopped off, there were no more reports of them harassing the civilians.

In short, taking full advantage of the extremely embarrassing opportunity of Christianity, General Fujiwara led a large-scale public opinion campaign throughout Japan.

However, Fujiwara no Kanezane did not know that a tragedy was about to happen near Hegang in the northeast.

"Mr. Kaufman, I heard that you gave that Chinese woman, Ma Shiling, a full $50 as a tribute. Now you're only giving me this little, and you're asking me to do something like this. Isn't that a bit strange?"

Major General Suzuki Mitsuhiro, commander of the 4th Mixed Brigade of the Japanese Army, looked at the bank passbook presented by the Jew Kaufman and snorted coldly.

(Note: Unlike the "Independent Mixed Brigade 4", the "Mixed Brigade 4" was only a second-line or even third-line unit. It was incorporated into the 8th Division in 1938 and its designation was completely cancelled.)

Just a mere $10, and you want us, the 4th Mixed Brigade, to go out? What a joke!

Even if you've already reached an agreement with His Highness Prince Kanezane, this little bit of benefit is useless if you want us to do the work for you!

In fact, it was completely sufficient.

After all, $10 is definitely not a small amount of money, and Major Suzuki will take it all by himself without having to distribute it to the soldiers below.

But I don’t know which damn big mouth leaked the matter of the 50 yuan, which made it impossible for "President Ma" to collect the money and also whetted Major General Suzuki's appetite.

Damn it, he gave a woman 50, but only gave me 10? Too much!

Yes, that woman is His Highness's person, and a few nice words in front of His Highness might have a significant effect, but the person who actually does the work and puts in the effort is me after all!

"Uh...Mr. Major General Suzuki, $10 is really not a small amount..." Kaufman cursed in his heart.

You greedy maggot!

A full $10 isn't enough!

Your salary is just a few dollars! Do you think you are Fujiwara Kanezane?

God, I overestimated the influence of that prince. I thought he had the final say in the entire Northeast!

It seems that we still know too little about the Japanese.

Kaufman thought about it and carefully added $5 to the figure: "So, $15?"

"No! 50! I have so many brothers who need to eat!" "20 should be enough!"

"At least 45!"

The two argued back and forth for a long time, and finally settled on a figure of $30, excluding the "reward supplies" sent by the 4th Mixed Brigade.

What is the purpose of the army being dispatched?

To help the Jews seize land.

After obtaining Fujiwara no Kanezane's promise and after careful observation and internal discussion, the Jews finally decided collectively to choose the border land near Hegang.

Not only because it is relatively remote and unlikely to have a Soviet-Japanese conflict, but also because it is across the street from the Soviet Union's "Jewish Autonomous Oblast"!

Kaufman and his team's plan was to open up a connection between the "Jewish Autonomous Oblast" and the area near Hegang, China, and to establish a "promised land" for the Jewish people on the Sino-Soviet border!

At this time, the Soviet Union had not yet realized what wonderful chemical reaction would occur when a group of Jewish believers were put together, and the management was quite loose;
