It's still July 18th, but everything that happens here is kept secret and is unknown to the outside world.
Vladivostok, the Soviet Far East city commonly known as Vladivostok by the Chinese, is only more than two hundred kilometers away from Jining in a straight line. However, due to the tense confrontation between the Kwantung Army and the Soviet Far East Army,
There are basically no highways connecting the two countries' borders, and the roads in the Soviet Union are also rugged and bumpy. In addition, there is a no-man's land of more than ten kilometers, which greatly lengthens the time spent on the road between the two places.
Zhang Jie, who was responsible for contacting the Soviet Far East Military Region, was initially regarded as a fleeing Chinese laborer and was imprisoned in a refugee camp set up on the border. Zhang Jie continued to communicate in Russian, which finally aroused the attention of the head of the Red Army Engineer Corps who was responsible for the management of the labor camp.
Attention, the news will be reported to the border defense division headquarters soon.
After the division headquarters sent someone to verify what Zhang Jie said, they sent a deputy division commander to accompany Zhang Jie to Vladivostok and stayed at the city government hotel. Zhang Jie slowly let go of his worries.
The journey was bumpy and bumpy. After coming out of the refugee camp, we passed at least three solid lines of defense consisting of surveillance lines, foxholes, traffic trenches, barbed wire, anti-tank trenches and various light and dark bunkers. We also discovered that people involved in the fortifications along the way were
Most of the construction personnel were Chinese laborers who worked hard under the threat of bright bayonets and light and heavy machine guns. This made Zhang Jie extremely shocked and uneasy.
Zhang Jie is from Neijiang, Sichuan. He just turned 26 in May this year. He graduated from Sichuan University and was admitted to the Xufu Military Academy in 2031. After passing the examination at the end of the same year, he went to Germany to study abroad at the Mühlwijk Naval School, specializing in ship command.
In 1934, he transferred to the Berlin Military Academy to major in armored warfare. In early 2035, he served as Yin Jinan's staff officer. After returning to China in the second half of 2035, he signed up for the selection of the "Northbound Detachment" and served as the deputy captain of the detachment.
Although when he was at home, Zhang Jie knew that after the October Revolution, in order to change the population ratio of the Far East, the Soviet Union began to premeditated and planned purges of the Chinese in the region, often using "counter-revolutionary" and "sympathizing with Belarus".
Arrested and imprisoned on charges of "espionage" and other crimes, then sent to Siberia
After September 18, the Soviet Union became more wary of Japan, began to strictly control the entry and exit of Chinese people, and intensified the suppression of Chinese people, especially young Chinese. The various crimes listed were various and shocking, but it was difficult to see it up close and personal
Witnessing this still made Zhang Jie feel angry and depressed.
Marshal Blyucher, the commander of the Soviet Far East Army, was actually Gallen, the general military adviser of the Whampoa Military Academy and the Northern Expeditionary Army. He had a teacher-student relationship with An Yi. Therefore, when he was still in the Far East Military District in Khabarovsk (called Khabarovsk by the Chinese)
Blyukher, who presided over the military meeting at the headquarters, was a little tempted when he heard that the young man who came to Vladivostok from Manchuria was actually appointed by his former student An Yi and was also going to negotiate a deal with him.
.
However, thinking about the intensifying purge in the country, Bluher was a little worried. After some thought, he took the initiative to pick up the phone. After dialing, he smiled heartily and said:
"Liushenkov, is Vasily still with you? Haha, it's good that you are all here. Unexpectedly, An Yi, your student in Huangpu, sent someone to Vladivostok, and he also brought a few books with him
The shooting and engineering teaching materials you entrusted An Yi to compile need to be corrected by you two old officers!"
On the phone, Liu Shenkov was surprised and delighted: "Is it really the person sent by An Yi? I heard that that guy has developed well in recent years and has become a big warlord in China after Principal Chiang. How could he send someone?"
To the Northeast?" Liushenkov is now the commander of the Coastal Army and one of the few generals in the Far East Military Region, while Vasily is the political commissar of the Coastal Army. Since the two have had the experience of working together in Huangpu, they get along very happily, and
He won the trust of Marshal Blucher.
Nowadays, the great purges in the Soviet Union are becoming more and more intense. Last year’s Zinoviev and Kamenev trials, more than 80,000 people were involved in this case and became victims. So far this year, only
In the trials of Pidakov and Radek alone, more than 400,000 people have been arrested and imprisoned, and more than 100,000 people have been shot. The Far East, which is under the strict control of Marshal Blucher, has also affected the
Seventy thousand people, including a large number of middle and high-level generals in the Far East Army.
Frightened, Blucher began to consciously restrict the activities of the NKVD in the Far East, stepped up efforts to win over his army generals, and formulated various security measures to ensure that he and his family would not be secretly arrested.
Blyukher said with a smile: "I don't know the specific situation very well. I will rush to Vladivostok later, meet with you and go to meet the representatives sent by An Yi. In the blink of an eye, you
I've been separated from An Yi for eleven years, and I haven't seen him for ten years. I don't know if Xiaojia
What kind of surprises will we bring this time?" At this point, Blucher lowered his voice: "Two dear comrades, please pay close attention to the actions of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in the Far East. I don't want you to wait.
People from the Ministry of Internal Affairs came to arrest you, but you were kept in the dark."
There was silence on the other side of the phone: "Comrade Blyucher, we will closely unite around the leadership of the Far East Military Region with you as the core, and fight resolutely against all class enemies who dare to undermine the peace and stability of the Far East. But Comrade Marshal, I
I and Vasily also hope that you can pay attention to your own safety. At this time, stability is paramount!"
Blucher put down the phone with satisfaction. The person in charge of this phone line was his cronies, so he was not afraid that his conversation with the two generals would reach the ears of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the General Administration of State Security. As a reality in the Far East,
The leader, Blyucher, was fully aware of the political trends in Moscow, and also knew that Stalin had begun to reach out to him, so he also made advance plans to support the army and respect himself.
According to Blucher, the Far East Military Region has 25 infantry divisions, six cavalry divisions, more than 1,500 fighter planes, 1,800 tanks, 79 submarines, 160
The four ships were the key to maintaining peace in his bargaining with Moscow. Therefore, he attached great importance to communication with his subordinate generals, and also tried his best to create conditions for the Far East and Siberia to be independent of the entire Soviet Union system.
This meeting with Envoy An Yi is a useful attempt. If the rumored student with the ability to "turn stone into gold" can really bring endless wealth to the development of the Far East, let the Far East have
Self-recovery and hematopoietic ability, he doesn't mind cooperating with them to increase the cost of self-protection.
At eleven o'clock in the evening, Blyukher, Lyushenkov, and Vasily appeared at the Vladivostok City Government Hotel where Zhang Jie was staying.
Zhang Jie hurriedly gave the Huangpu military salute to the Soviet Marshal Blyucher and the two Soviet generals Lyushenkov and Vasily, and then respectfully presented the following two months before the departure of the northward detachment, written by An Yi himself over the years.
Translated into Russian by Belarusian experts and scholars, "Engineer and Soldier Drill Code", "Military Basics of Noncommissioned Officers", "Army
"Tactical Coordination of Infantry, Artillery, and Engineers", "Infantry Basic Training", "Infantry Shooting Training", "Infantry Division Combat Training and Housekeeping", "A Preliminary Study on Mountain Training and Combat", "Basic Training in Mountain Combat", "Mountain Warfare"
"Introduction and Combat Case Analysis", "Ten Principles of Sniper Warfare", "On Guerrilla Warfare" and other books.
Lyushenkov and Vasily felt like they had found a treasure. They took it aside and read it happily, whispering to each other and commenting in low voices from time to time.
Blucher looked at the calm Chinese man in front of him with interest. He had single eyelids, thin lips, and a slightly hooked nose. He was about 180cm tall. He looked extremely simple, but his eyes were radiant, which set off his whole temperament.
Appear confident and assertive.
Bliucher asked Zhang Jie to sit next to him and asked curiously: "Young man, I am the Galen you are looking for. Like the two generals, I was once your teacher at the Whampoa Military Academy, General An Yi.
As far as I know, the central government of your country has been trying its best to avoid war and only wants to preserve North China. It has abandoned the Northeast and Manchuria and Mongolia as if they were in ruins. Can you tell me how you got to the Northeast and what you want to do?"
Zhang Jie briefly introduced how the northbound detachment has slowly grown and developed in the Northeast over the past six months, and finally said:
"Now we have successfully captured Jining County and recovered the surrounding areas. At the same time, we have organized an army of 20,000 from the puppet troops and the rescued miners. The marshal may not know that some of these workers are the Northeast Army, the Northwest Army and the Anti-Japanese Volunteer Army.
captured veterans, as well as recently captured resistance generals
We have a certain degree of combat effectiveness, and during our transfer from western Liaoning to eastern Manchuria, we had a crash course for officers. Therefore, we are not just a mob, but an advanced army with a complete organization and strategic and tactical guiding ideology. We are confident that we will win the battle in the future.
The Sanjiang Plain dealt a serious blow to the Japanese invaders!"
Blucher smiled in disbelief: "The Japanese Kwantung Army has more than 500,000 troops. Even our great socialist Soviet Union can feel the Japanese's almost uncontrollable ambition. I don't think you can defeat the Kwantung Army in the Kwantung Army."
Persevere under the army's crazy attack. If you lose the battle and retreat into the Changbai Mountains again, wouldn't it be the same as the Anti-Japanese Alliance that we have always supported before? We cannot use the blood and sweat of the Soviet people to support your unnecessary consumption."
Zhang Jie shook his head: "Marshal, I admit that the current situation in Northeast China is that the enemy is strong and we are weak, but this does not necessarily mean that we have no room for survival and development. If necessary, we will withdraw into the Changbai Mountains, but this
It is not a passive defense, but to accumulate strength and give the Japanese invaders
Further strikes. Just as our Commander An wrote in the book "On Guerrilla Warfare", by destroying the small enemy, weakening the big enemy, disrupting the enemy's flanks and rear, and coordinating with the frontal battlefield, we will destroy the Japanese and puppet regime and arouse the people to rise up.
Resisting the enemy involved more troops and attention from the Japanese army.
"In the past two years, the situation between the Japanese Kwantung Army and the Soviet Far East Military District under the command of the Marshal has become increasingly tense, and armed conflicts have occurred many times. In late last month, Japanese fighter planes flew to major cities in the Far East and spread a large number of anti-Soviet leaflets.
A fierce exchange of fire broke out between Nuha Island (Ganchazi Island) and Dabekichev Island. With Kanto
It can be seen from the tough stance of the army towards the Soviets that once they clean up the interior, they will definitely extend their evil hands to the Far East of the Soviets. Therefore, in fact, our interests are consistent with yours. As long as we are nailed to Manchuria,
If the Kwantung Army cannot free its hands, it will not pose a threat to the Soviet Far East."
Blucher listened silently and did not express any opinions.
Zhang Jie knew that the Soviet Marshal in front of him had extremely rich life experience, and naturally he had long understood the significance of supporting anti-Japanese armed forces in Northeast China, so he was not disappointed and continued: "Of course, if China's anti-Japanese cause needs blood transfusion from the Soviets,
This is unfair to the Marshal and the Far East Military Region under your leadership, because you also need to supplement the weapons and equipment allocated by the Soviet Central Committee.
"Therefore, we have come up with a compromise method. We will directly transfer the US dollars for the purchase of food and arms supplies to your designated account through Swiss banks, and then continuously transport them to us through the supply lines in the Far East. I believe
Through this kind of trade, we can not only boost and stimulate the industrial production of the Soviet Union, but also solve our logistical supply problems. We achieve multiple things with one stone, so why not?"
Bluher looked a little moved. Through the intelligence from China, he knew that his student An Yi was actually the richest man in China at this time. The economy in the southwest region was changing with each passing day, and new technologies were emerging one after another.
This stimulated the top leaders of the Soviet Union, so the Kremlin was extremely angry that the Soviet Union’s Second Five-Year Plan did not achieve the desired results. The Soviet Union, which claimed to be the representative of advanced productivity, was in medicine, daily chemicals, electronic appliances, etc.
The scientific research achievements in this field are not as good as those of a local government in China. This shows that the Soviet scientific and technological workers did not do their best, which is a manifestation of backward thinking. This is also an important reason for the emergence of the Great Purge. From this, Blucher further thought of the Moscow legend
After hearing the news, Comrade Stalin was very dissatisfied with himself and criticized himself many times at party meetings. He said that the lagging development of the Far East was due to the incompetence of the leadership team and that it must be resolutely rectified. He couldn't help but feel nervous.
"Comrade Zhang Jie, what you proposed is not a good idea. Our great Soviet is a country with a material economy as its main body. The production plans of all factories were formulated a year ago, and there is absolutely no possibility of change.
Therefore, it is unrealistic for you to obtain supplies in this way. Moreover, our great leader Comrade Stalin has no regard for the corruption of capitalism.
I hate the corruption deeply and am very angry about the behavior of southern Sichuan in China that held back the Soviet Union during the economic crisis, especially the behavior of southern Sichuan in accommodating and condoning Belarus, which is unacceptable to our great Soviet Union. So I am very concerned about the relationship with you.
I personally am not optimistic about the deal between us, and my suggestions may even cause Comrade Stalin to have a bad opinion of us."
Seeing Zhang Jie opening his mouth to defend, Blyucher interrupted him: "Comrade Zhang Jie, what do you think of this? We don't have to go through the Soviet Central Committee at all. We in the Far East can trade directly with you. I know you Commander An
In European and American countries, it has a very broad
With connections, can we establish factories and enterprises in Vladivostok, Khabarovsk, Amursk and other Far Eastern cities by investing in factories, so that our Far East Military Region can obtain materials nearby, develop industry, and promote our industrial level and
Science and technology develop and progress.”
Zhang Jie was extremely surprised. He did not expect that an old Bolshevik, a Soviet marshal, would actually put forward such an unbelievable suggestion. Isn't Blyucher afraid of Stalin's angry iron fist? After being stunned for a while, he felt a little confused.
He said awkwardly:
"Comrade Marshal, I don't dare to make the decision on this matter. Let's do this. I will return to Jining immediately, report the matter to my superiors, and then ask my Commander Jiaan for his opinion through the intelligence department. You can send a few comrades with you.
The radio station and I will go to Jining together and convey to you the reply from our senior management as soon as possible."
Blucher nodded. The situation in the Soviet Union is very tense now. The nightmare of the Great Purge has almost enveloped every Soviet citizen. No one wants to not see the sun the next day. For the sake of their family and children, so
Only then would he take great pains to connect with An Jiajun, leaving a way out while developing his own strength, and not necessarily being able to use surprise troops when necessary.
