In the Kremlin, the center of the world, there is a scene of low pressure. All the staff carefully clamped their tails to serve the people. After relaxing a little, they can see a gloomy face of a leader of the Soviet Union. He didn't know where he came out of his gloomy face, and then disappeared in the maze-like corridor - they all went to meet Lenin or Trotsky to discuss major events! These staff also vaguely knew that the great mentor and the Prophet had awkward again for the anti-riot against the Far East. The mentor believed that the anti-riot was caused by the mistakes in the party's economic line! The Prophet insisted that it was a conspiracy of revisionism and imperialism, and that the Chinese gang, as the backbone of the anti-riotism, were all despicable Chinese spies!

But who is not a stingy person who can make trouble in the Kremlin? The thoughts of the mentor and the prophet can be hidden from them. The anti-** riots in the Far East are not a big deal at all, and it is not easy to wipe them out with the strength of the Red Army. Moreover, China and Japan are fighting again, and neither of them has much energy to intervene in the fragile affairs of the Far Eastern Republic. So the key issue now is not to quell the chaos, but who should bear the responsibility for the turmoil. If the mentor's intention is to be followed, it is classified as a mistake in the economic route.

The consequences are that the prophet who proposed the current economic route will be a little trouble. Although it will not fall, it will be impossible to lose a car to protect him. On the contrary, it is inevitable that the prophet who grasps the general direction of class struggle will take the opportunity to continue to eradicate the gang members on the other side of the mentor. However, this kind of thing can only be kept in mind. No one dares to say that in terms of face, and any topic related to the cause of the Far East riot is now so sensitive that it is better not to say it before seeing the direction clearly.

But on June 10, the fourth day after the Far East anti-** violence, news that favored the Prophet finally came from abroad one after another. According to GC International inquired from the UK, the British authorities had urgently allocated 5 million pounds to aid the rebels in the Far East! And pro-Soviet people in China also confirmed that Tang Jiu, one of the leaders of the Far East rebellion, was indeed a major revisionist spy! Moreover, the Chinese National Defense Force also urgently transported a large number of supplies to Manzhouli, and Baikalsk would hand over these supplies to the rebels after the Far East rebels captured. The German GCD even sent the most critical report, and the Kolchak bandits in exile in Germany were preparing to send people to the Far East to fight with the rebels!

In the face of such ironclad evidence, Lenin's figures all hurried to the Kremlin today with dark faces. However, the generals on Trotsky's side did not have much joy as winners, because they were still early to win.

Trotsky was wearing a room full of maps. On the wall in front of him was a huge military map of the Japanese Far East and Northeast China. On the map, the Sino-Japanese border area was densely marked with symbols of troops and fortifications, and the numbers of dozens of division-level troops. Although it was not necessarily accurate, it could roughly reflect the basic situation of the Chinese and Japanese armies on the current Far East-Manchurian battlefield. Standing beside him were Trotsky's main military assistants, including Skrynsky, Vatedith, Tukhachevsky and others, and there was also an elderly oriental in a black tuxedo, Katayama Katayama. Today, he came to the Kremlin to discuss the Soviet-Japanese attack on China with Trotsky with Trotsky. However, looking at Trotsky's face, there were probably some twists and turns.

**The prophet breathed heavily, moved his eyes away from the map, looked at Katayama Qian and said, "I really didn't expect that Zhang Guotao would have caused such a stir in the Far East! If it weren't for him, our plan would have been successful. It would be a pity... I would have taken him in Moscow if I had known it... I was so soft-hearted!"

Speaking of this, his face looked a little ugly. In fact, letting Zhang Guotao stand by in Chita was not to eradicate him immediately. Because Natalie Lesinskaya from Nanjing privately tested Chairman Mao Zd several times, but he did not make any progress - the other party has been pretending to be confused, and perhaps he has no idea of ​​holding Trotsky's thigh to replace him... The risk of this matter is not a little bit, maybe it will be a family destruction. Chairman Mao is now a young and successful person and has started to enjoy the fruit of victory early. It is normal not to want to take such risks. So Zhang Guotao, the great alternate leader of China, still has to keep it for the time being. Who knew that this kid actually rebelled in the Far East. I really don't know what medicine was wrong!

Katayama's Russian language skills have improved rapidly recently and can already talk directly with Trotsky. His face was also not good-looking, and he asked in a deep pondering question: "How long does the Soviet Union need to quell the civil strife in the Far East? After quelling civil strife, can the Soviet Union go to war with China immediately? I need to get a practical guarantee, and it is best to sign a written agreement."

Trotsky looked at the Chief of Staff of the Red Army Tukhachevsky, who thought and said: "At present, the Chairman of the Far East ** Military Commission, Bulukhel, and Ren Fuchen, Chairman of the Far East Supreme Soviet, have successfully broken through to Hirok, and have established a temporary command post there and are setting up a counterattack. According to his report, the rebels in Chita City are very powerful, and may have gathered an army of tens of thousands of people. It may be difficult to extinguish the local army in the Far East alone, and..." Tukhachevsky wanted to speak but stopped and looked up at the mountain.

Trotsky said: "Comrade Katayama can be trusted." The Chief of Staff of the Red Army frowned and said: "Half of the troops in the Far East are Zhang Guotao, Tang Jiu and Huang Baopei, who "defected" China, are now all unstable in the morale of the army. Among the remaining troops, there are also a considerable proportion of the Buryat Mongols and North Koreans, and their morale is not stable at present. I am afraid that more reliable troops will be needed to mobilize more reliable troops to the Far East."

"Well, I understand, this task will be handed over to the General Staff of the Red Army." Trotsky said. "Comrade Tukhachevsky, can you tell me how long it will take to quell the civil strife in the Far East?" The net is not quitting.

"At least one month, up to three months." Tukhachevsky thought for a while and added: "100,000 reinforcements need to be mobilized. And it takes a month to clean up the instability factors of the Far Eastern Republic after the quelling of chaos." The so-called instability factors are of course all Soviet citizens who have had Eastern Consciousness in the Far Eastern Republic, and even the entire Soviet Union!

Trotsky looked at Kamayama again and said, "Three months! At most, the Soviet Union will fight against China with Japan! Is this possible?"

Katayama frowned and thought for a while, shook his head and said, "It's been too long, three months is too long. Now Britain, France and the United States are trying to mediate. Yoshiichi Tanaka, who is in power in Japan, is not very enthusiastic about the war and does not want to occupy Manchuria. If the war situation is not good for Japan in these three months, the Tanaka government is likely to choose to compromise."

"Comrade Katayama, do you understand the current Japanese combat plan?" The Internet did not skip. Vaccitis, the People's Committee of National Defense, inserted it in and asked.

"Know a little," Katayama said. "The military headquarters is currently preparing to launch the 'Tiger Head-Shinantu Battle'." He took the baton from Trotsky, clicked the Tier Head Fortress and Xinantu Castle on the map and said: "In this area, the goal is to seize the Tier Head Fortress of the Chinese."

"A little stupid." Vates commented on the Japanese army's combat plan impolitely. He said: "In the historical fortress offensive and defensive battles, the probability of one side failing to attack one side is about 90, and the remaining 10 are also attacking the surrounded isolated fortress with an overwhelming advantage. The Chinese Tigerhead Fortress is definitely not within the range of these 10. If you want to attack head-on, the Japanese Far East Army will shed all blood in front of this fortress. By the way, what is the purpose of the Japanese military seizing the Tigerhead Fortress?"

"In order to protect the safety of the Far East Railway Line, it is said that the cannons in this fortress can easily destroy the railway."

"From the current situation, the Japanese cabinet has no idea about the entire Manchuria." Skrynsky, who is in charge of intelligence, reminded. "This strategy determines that the scale of the Sino-Japanese War will not be too large, and will not last too long, and the attack on Chinese revisionism and Japanese imperialism will be very limited. Unless there is any way to encourage the Japanese army to take more active actions on the Far East-Manchuria battlefield."

"Is there such a way? Comrade Katayama." Trotsky looked at Katayama with a smile.

"The solution is not without it." Katayama Kuro seemed to have been convinced. He smiled and said, "No one in the Japanese army does not want Manchuria. The reason why they have turned to South China in the past two years is because they are worried about the Sino-Soviet alliance. If the Soviet Union can sign a secret agreement with Japan to fight against China, promise to start fighting by the end of August at the latest, and support Japan to have dominance over Manchuria. I believe that Prince Hirohito and his supporters in the army will be able to promote the Far East Army to take more active actions."

"Well, I think it's OK." Trotsky thought for a moment, and said to Tamayama with a smile: "Comrade Tamayama, you can sign any kind of secret agreement, there is no problem at all." Iron Blood Republic of China 405

...

Major Kanji Ishihara gently knocked on the door of Colonel Nagata Tengyama's office, the head of the Operations Division of the Far East Army Command. No sound came from inside. Ishihara thought that his immediate boss must be worried about the plan of "Tiger Head - Battle of Shin'anzu" again.

Nagata Tetsuyama's tired voice sounded from the door: "Please come in." Ishihara Kaner pushed open the door and walked in casually. In the highly hierarchical Japanese Army, it is rare to see guys like him who don't respect Shangguan very much. However, Nagata Tetsuyama didn't care much about these red tape. He still admired this staff member who was quite good at head. When he saw Ishihara come in, he smiled and said, "Ishihara, is there any bad news? Is there still a firecracker in Xin'an Tucheng?" The net did not jump.

Starting from the night of June 7, the Chinese and Japanese armies launched a gun battle for several days on the Tiger Head, Xin'antu. Uh, the artillery battle was really a paste for the "Invincible Imperial Army Second Division". In fact, the 36 cannons of the Japanese Second Artillery Regiment deployed in Xin'antu City were half of the 36 artillery pieces deployed in Xin'antu City were hoarse within two hours after the artillery battle began, and the rest did not dare to fire anyway. So now the Chinese team is using cannons to bombard the positions of the Second Division with unscrupulous means, and there are also Chinese artillery observation balloons in the sky to correct the bullet points. Therefore, the Chinese artillery bombardment is extremely accurate. After three days of artillery shooting, the casualties of the Second Division have exceeded 1,000!

"Ah, I must be still being bombed. Thousands of people were guarding the enemy's guns, and there were no decent anti-aircraft fortifications, so I dared not retreat. I imagined it was pitiful. This guy Itagaki is really miserable." Speaking of Itagaki Seishiro, Ishihara looked sympathetic, found a chair and sat down, then reached out to touch the pocket of the military top for a long time, and finally found a wrinkled telegram and spread it in front of Nagata. "This is the telegram in the palace, saying that the Soviet Union has agreed to join the war within two months and supports us to seize Manchuria... Uh, it is obviously a trap, but the one in the palace believed it. It's really embarrassing!"

Nagata put down the paper and pen in his hand and looked up at Ishihara. This guy was always indifferent to anything, and he didn't look like a soldier while sitting there, but his head was very good. The man in the palace looked quite like that, but his mind was too stupid and was now tricked by the Soviets.

He picked up the telegram and took a look. In addition to informing the situation, there were some vague instructions... Maybe he wanted to get benefits but refused to take responsibility? The naval officers on the King Kong account were suffering from such instructions. I heard that they were all charged with great rebellion. They were crying and driving the King Kong account back to get to death! I don’t know if his fate would be the same as these people?

He sighed and returned the telegram to Ishihara. "Ishihara, has the commander read this telegram?" The Internet did not skip words.

"After seeing it, he said that our combat class would develop a plan to seize the Tiger Head Fortress and defeat the main force of the Chinese army on the Ussuri River."

"Old fox!" Nagata muttered. "Can you have such a plan? There are only 8 divisions in total, and the firepower cannot beat the opponent. What else can you play?"

"Oh, there are 11 divisions. The 18th, 19th and 20th divisions are preparing to board the boat in Yuanshan. They will all arrive in one week at the latest."

"Four divisions guard North Korea?" Nagata Tetsuyama was stunned. "Why is the military headquarters going nonsense? Is it the palace?"

"That's not." Ishihara shook his head. "The three divisions have arrived in Yuanshan, and the order to mobilize should be given for two days. I think the military headquarters is also planning some major actions... It is estimated that it is necessary to coordinate the sea and land to fight Shanghai."

"How do you know?"

"You can guess it." Ishihara said with a smile. "The North Korean army has transferred three divisions, so the North Korean side will definitely not have any major actions. The Far East Army is probably a feint attack here. The real decisive role should be the five divisions and navy in China."

Nagata Tetsuyama nodded in agreement and looked at Ishihara with admiring eyes. "You have a good analysis. The military should be preparing for the Shanghai war, otherwise they should have transferred five divisions from the Far East instead of taking the risk of dispatching troops from the Korean army." He stood up and walked to the front of the huge map hanging on the wall of the office and looked at it carefully. After a while, he heard him saying to himself: "If Shanghai war can succeed, then Manchuria is not unavailable..."

Ishihara Kan's eyebrows slightly raised, and he approached Nagata, showing an interesting expression. "What does Nagata-kun mean?"

"The deployment of the Chinese army actually has a big loophole." Tyran Yasuo stretched out his finger and tapped the three places including Suifenhe, Hutou, Fuyuan and other places on the map. "Their defense is based on the Fuyuan Fortress, Hutou Fortress at the intersection of Amur River, Heilongjiang and Usur River. Among them, the focus of the entire defense line is the Hutou Fortress to Suifenhe Fortress, and the defense line between Hutou Fortress and Fuyuan Fortress is very weak."

"They are just eight troops with more than 400,000 troops." Ishihara grinned. "Manchuria is so big, it is impossible for more than 400,000 people to prevent them everywhere. They can only choose key areas to defend. The areas between the Ussuri River, Heilongjiang River and Songhua River are quite desolate and have no great defensive value, so this loophole is not fatal."

"That's not necessarily." Nagata Tetsuyama sneered and drew an arc on the map with his fingers. "Ishihara, look at this route of march: Heilongjiang-Tongjiang-Fujin-Jiamusi-Qitaihe. How about it, is it possible to achieve it?"

Ishihara also felt his eyes lit up, clapped his hands and smiled, "What a big encirclement. As long as Qitaihe is taken down, the Chinese army around Hutou Fortress will be surrounded by the imperial army... There can be at least 100,000 people in the encirclement, right? There are a lot of words on the Internet." As he said that, his brows frowned slightly again, and he pointed to Fuyuan Fortress. He said, "The key is that if this Fuyuan Fortress is not built, Heilongjiang will not be able to open navigation. The logistics support of more than 100,000 imperial troops will be a problem... There is basically no road west of Tongjiang."

"No, we won't hit Fuyuan Fortress!" A sneer slid across Tyrano Nagata's face. "We take the Siberian Railway and forcefully cross Heilongjiang from the Tongjiang area. The Chinese people were surprised!" Iron Blood Republic of China 405

Ishihara Kanir was shocked and said in a lost voice: "Travel in the Soviet Union? Can they agree?"

Nagata Tetsuyama smiled and said, "If you agree, it means that they are friends of the Great Japanese Empire! If you don't agree, it means that they have ulterior motives, so that His Royal Highness can recognize the true face of the Soviet Union!" He said that, he patted Ishihara on the shoulder. "Ishihara, make a plan according to this idea, and then submit it to the palace, so that the palace can sneak into negotiations with the Soviet Union through Katayama."
