Chapter 0690 Anti-war Alliance ([-]) Disagreement

"Ms. Sun! Our party estimates that the World War II that will take place in the future will be a replica of the First World War. In the end, the outcome of the war will most likely be determined by the progressive forces within the imperialist countries that launched the aggression... Anti- The anti-war movement is likely to become the most powerful weapon of the progressive forces after the war has reached a stalemate. In order to become the leader of China's progressive and anti-war forces in the future, we should raise the anti-war banner before the war broke out. This time The presidential election just gave us such an opportunity. However, in order to better lead the anti-war forces across the country, we should turn the anti-war alliance into a political organization that is more united, closer and more effective. And you are this, Mrs. Sun The natural leader of the anti-war alliance, our party is willing to participate in the anti-war movement under the leadership of Mrs. Sun!"

Zhou Enlai sat there quietly, slowly speaking to the smiling Soong Ching Ling.But Soong Ching Ling kept smiling and remained silent.

If China is gradually stepping into a democratic constitutional government, what is the biggest difference from the previous few thousand years, there is no doubt that there will be no necessary connection between the barrel of a gun and the political power.After the National Revolutionary Army was finally transformed into the National Defense Forces and the Nationalist Government became a constitutional government, only the votes of the people can determine the ownership of the regime!And in this case, the Kuomintang Revolutionary Committee without armed forces is equally likely to come to power through popular elections!So they no longer need to be attached to the guns of the CCP... At the same time, the Soviet Union is also in danger now, and they themselves have to rely on the CCP to send troops for assistance. Naturally, they don't have much spare power to interfere in China's internal affairs, so the support of the Soviet Union is not the CCP's now. What a trump card, but a burden too.Under such circumstances, the Kuomintang is of course unwilling to act as the CCP's little buddy.

Although the CCP is now humbly giving up the leader of the anti-war alliance to Soong Ching Ling, judging from their performance in cooperation with other political forces in the past, they will eventually participate in the anti-war movement under the leadership of Soong Ching Ling, or will they lead Soong Ching Ling to Anti-war is hard to say.

In addition, there is another point that worries Song Qingling, Deng Yanda and others, which is the "armed anti-war" that turns the war of aggression into a revolutionary war.Although Song Qingling and Deng Yanda have now given up the unrealistic idea of ​​seizing power by force, it does not mean that the CCP, which still has an army of 20, does not want to take the road of seizing power by force!And once the foreign war is turned into a civil war, they will naturally have no choice but to participate in and discuss state affairs under the leadership of the Communist Party of China!Moreover, the country may lose the world war because of the civil war, and fall back into the misery of being divided and enslaved.

Thinking of this, Soong Ching Ling's fan showed a charming smile again: "Okay, I can take on this responsibility... But the situation in the future will be extremely complicated. I want to know the real thinking of the CCP. What kind of work will the anti-war undertake, and will you join the war on the side of the Soviet Union?"

Zhou Enlai opened his eyes wide and said, "Mrs. Sun, who told you this? Although our party opposes the imperialist invasion of the Soviet Union, this does not mean that we will join the Soviet Union to fight against China!"

Gu Shunzhang said: "Our goal is to come forward to end the war and the reactionary rule of the Kuomintang based on the difficult situation of the war."

Soong Ching Ling pondered for a moment, then said in a low voice: "Then what if the war goes well? The Soviet Union may be vulnerable and perish within three months or half a year, just like those rightist newspapers said."

Zhou Enlai couldn't help laughing: "How could such a thing happen? The Soviet Union is an industrialized country with 2000 million square kilometers of land and nearly [-] million people. How could it collapse within a few months? Let it crash? Could it be the secret weapon that everyone knows—the uranium bomb?"

Soong Ching Ling laughed out loud after hearing this "joke".She said that she also heard from some university professors that the research on uranium is still of great scientific value, and may win one or several Nobel Prizes, and it will also allow a large number of Chinese scientists to grow up rapidly. But if you want to rely on it to make some secret weapon... sorry, that's impossible!At least there is no scientific basis for it.

Gu Shunzhang interjected in a serious tone: "Mrs. Sun, don't worry, now we and the Soviet Union are closely monitoring the U project of the Kuomintang. Once any military use is discovered, the Soviet Union will follow up as soon as possible. With its strong industrial foundation and scientific research strength, I believe that it will soon come to the fore in this regard. So there is no need to worry about secret weapons at all, and it is absolutely impossible to quickly defeat the Soviet Union with the military strength of the Kuomintang. War can also illustrate this point."

Hearing Gu Shunzhang's confident guarantee, Soong Ching Ling smiled slightly, nodded and said, "I also understand that the possibility is extremely low, but what if the Kuomintang really wants to win quickly? What are you going to do?"

"Then we will not choose to go to war!" Zhou Enlai replied with certainty.

"What if the war is deadlocked? Will you start a revolutionary war?"

"That depends on the performance of the Kuomintang." Zhou Enlai replied carefully: "If they can be elected by democratic means and progressive forces can come to power to achieve a fair and just peace, then of course we are happy to see it." Of course, if the Kuomintang reactionaries go further and further down the road of war, so that the whole country will be in disaster, we Communists will of course stand up to save the country's future, but please rest assured, Madam Sun, it is only a last resort."

Soong Ching Ling was very happy to hear that, raised her eyebrows slightly, and looked at He Xiangning beside her: "Mrs. Liao, I think we can cooperate with the CCP to raise the banner of anti-war and peace." She looked at Zhou Enlai again: "Zhou Enlai Sir, how are we going to reform the Anti-War League?"

A flash of excitement flashed in Zhou Enlai's eyes, and he exchanged glances with Gu Shunzhang, Gu Shunzhang said: "Our party has already made a comprehensive plan in this regard. We can do this..."

The secret meeting of the five people in Soong Ching Ling's mansion lasted for more than five hours before Zhou Enlai and Gu Shunzhang got up to say goodbye, and the meeting will resume tomorrow.When the two walked out of No. 29 Moliere Road.Deng Yanda, who came out to see him off, couldn't help but asked Zhou Enlai again in a low voice: "Enlai, if the Kuomintang really defeated the Soviet Union, would you really be indifferent?"

Zhou Enlai smiled leisurely: "With us Communists around, this situation will never happen!"

……

In the Luo mansion on Ma Sinan Road in Shanghai, a major general officer with a solemn face was sitting upright at this time. He was Dai Li, the head of the southeast side of the Military Intelligence Bureau.During this period of time, due to the presidential election, the formerly dormant Kuomintang Revolutionary Committee and the Communist Party became active, and established a so-called Chinese anti-war alliance with great fanfare, competing with the Kuomintang for power under the banner of anti-war.The top KMT leaders, including Luo Yaoguo and Chiang Kai-shek, did not take this to heart.At present, the Legislative and Supervisory Houses are basically used by the Kuomintang, and the domestic economy has developed rapidly in the past few years, and foreign wars have been won one after another. China's international status has reached the level of the great powers. In this case, the election does not care about the opponent. No matter what tricks are used, the result will be that Hu Hanmin will be elected president with a high vote!So everyone in the Kuomintang felt that they should pretend to be more magnanimous... But Major General Dai Li Dai, who works in the southeast of the Complex Military Intelligence Bureau, discovered that the activities of this so-called China Anti-War Alliance were too active!It seems that various political forces opposing the Kuomintang rule are gradually uniting under the banner of anti-war. Their core is not Soong Ching Ling, but the Chinese Communist Party!Dai Li even felt that the CCP and the Kuomintang were not using the anti-war campaign to run for president, but were using the presidential campaign to expand the influence of the anti-war alliance among intellectuals!The CCP is probably making a long-term plan...

And Luo Yaoguo just sat there silently, listening to Dai Li's report on the intelligence of the Anti-war Alliance held by the Shanghai Station of the Military Intelligence Bureau.At this time, he had roughly guessed the real purpose of the CCP in his heart. They wanted to follow the path of the Russian Revolution or the left-wing parties in Western Europe.Use anti-war to expand their influence, or implement the policy of "defeating the tsar", or use the influence gained by anti-war to take the road of parliamentary democracy after the war.And the possibility of the former is far greater than the latter!After all, they were the Communist Party and not the Social Democratic Party, and the war of aggression against the Soviet Union was not the War of Resistance Against Japan in history. As an internationalist party, it is understandable to oppose the imperialism of the country.In any case, in the first war against the Soviet Union, the Chinese imperialists were not on the right side.

"What do you think? Natalie, you were in Russia during World War I, right? You should understand the methods of the Communist Party?" After thinking for a while, Luo Yaoguo turned to ask Natalie beside him.

"Yes, I was in Petersburg at that time. I was 15 years old when the war started, and I was already sensible." Sitting in a blue leather chair, Natalie began to recall the history almost 20 years ago, she said : "I learned about Russia's entry into the war at a boarding school. The boys in the school were eager to sign up for the army. Everyone looked like a hero, and there was a special attraction for girls. ...if I hadn't been Polish I would have loved them too. I remember that day we didn't have any more classes, but went to parade in the streets, and St. Petersburg was like a festival at that time, and the streets were full of military uniforms Men, flowers, vodka, some girls will be excited to kiss those young officers they don't know, as if they are sending their lovers off to war...

The slogan of long live Nicholas II resounded throughout Petersburg. That day he stood on the balcony of the Winter Palace and waved to the excited subjects. At that moment, everyone believed that Russia would soon win a victory under his command. A great victory!But it is a pity that the war soon fell into a difficult situation. The tsar's army was not as strong as imagined. The news of the failure came back from the front line, although it was not through the tsar's government...

At first, everyone didn't believe it, but later, the war continued day after day, the supply in the rear became more and more tense, the ruble kept depreciating, and nothing could be bought in the market... Finally, the emotion of war weariness was like The epidemic spread throughout the country like an epidemic, and that's where the Bolsheviks began to swell!In fact, the war was not messed up because of the Bolsheviks' troubles, but the Bolsheviks swelled up after the war was messed up!I guess those Bolsheviks in China are waiting for us to screw up the war too? "

When Natalie finished speaking, Luo Yaoguo took a report on the activities of the anti-war alliance from Dai Li, glanced at it, and said, "Is it okay to just wait? They seem to want to do something else Bar?"

"Oh sure, they're going to be jumping up and down to get people to remember they're anti-war, so their reputation will go up when the war gets into trouble...then they can use their reputation to grow the 'Soviet Engineers' , so that they can further mess up the war situation and finally get the regime. In addition, they can also provide intelligence assistance to the Soviet Union, and they can also instruct the underground party members lurking in the factory to do a little sabotage or something. Back then in the First World War That’s what the Russian Bolsheviks did during the Great War, but the effect was not significant at first, because the people are patriotic after all.”

"Then what should we do?"

"Of course it is to fight the war well. As long as the war ends in a short period of time, there will be no market for anti-war, and the CCP does not dare to break with us. In the end, there is no way out except to become a peaceful political party." Natalie Shrugging his shoulders, he said with a smile, "Otherwise we will turn China into a prison state similar to the Soviet Union, so that everyone is in danger, and there will be no anti-war sentiments."

"Assistant Marshal, I think we can still do something." Dai Li reminded: "I have also studied the anti-war forces in various countries during the First World War, and found that the anti-war forces of the Social Democratic Party and the Bolsheviks have a relationship. The big difference is that the Bolsheviks opposed the war in order to make the country lose the war so that they could come to power, while the Social Democrats opposed the war because they were afraid that the country would lose in the war... The Bolsheviks did not hesitate to join forces with any enemy to achieve their goals. And the Social Democrats are generally patriotic.”

"Yunong, what do you mean..."

"Assistant Marshal, there are always anti-war thoughts. Just like what Colonel Leshinskaya said, unless we also become a prison country like the Soviet Union, there will always be some people who are afraid that the country will lose the war. Oppose war! But there is a big difference whether this power is in the hands of the Communist Party or in the hands of the Kuomintang!"

"You mean we want to help the Kuomintang take over the leadership of the anti-war alliance?" Luo Yaoguo glanced at Natalie again: "What do you think?"

"We can give it a try." Natalie said, "If Soong Ching Ling and Deng Yanda agree to cooperate and are willing to control the anti-war movement within the scope of patriotism."

After being silent for a while, Luo Yaoguo finally nodded heavily: "Natalie, call No. 29 Molière Road and say that I want to visit Mrs. Sun."

……

When she received a call from Natalie, Soong Ching Ling, Deng Yanda, and He Xiangning were also having a conversation in a small office on the second floor of Soong Ching Ling's mansion at No. 29 Molière Road.

"Mrs. Sun, Luo Yaoguo's little wife Natalie called just now, saying that Luo Yaoguo wants to visit you." The secretary pushed the door open and told the three of them.

"Zhesheng, what do you think, do I want to meet this Luo Yaoguo?" After waving the secretary away, Soong Ching Ling frowned tightly, showing a disgusted expression on her face.

Deng Yanda knew that Soong Ching Ling and Luo Yaoguo were one of the two people Soong Ching Ling hated the most. He didn't answer the question directly, but said in a low voice: "Madam, now the KMT has power, an army, and people's support, and behind it is the support of imperialism such as Britain, the United States, France, and Germany, and the CCP also has There is an army on the territory, and the Soviet Union is behind it... and we have nothing but the prestige of our wife and the banner of anti-war!"

Soong Ching Ling was taken aback, looking at Deng Yanda's hesitant expression, she frowned and asked, "What do you mean?"

"Madam, we and the CCP jointly lead the anti-war movement, but to be honest, the CCP is still an armed party, while we are a peaceful party. The strength of the two sides is not at the same level. They can easily If the leadership of the anti-war alliance is usurped, we will not have any capital to participate in the post-war political situation! Moreover, after the CCP seizes the leadership of the anti-war alliance, it is very likely that the anti-war movement will take the wrong path! "

Soong Ching Ling nodded: "Zhosheng, this is what I am most worried about. The power gap between us and the CCP is too great. It is impossible for the two sides to cooperate on an equal footing, just like how we did in Beijing. But if we don't cooperate with them, we can go to the Who do you want to cooperate with? It’s not likely to cooperate with the rightists of the Kuomintang, right? They betrayed the revolutionary line of the former Prime Minister.”

This is probably the most persistent part of Soong Ching Ling. She always regards herself as the heir to Sun Yat-sen's behest, and regards the five Kuomintang leaders appointed by Sun Yat-sen as traitors!

Deng Yanda sneered: "Madam, do you think the Chinese Communist Party has inherited the revolutionary line of the former Prime Minister?"

"Zhesheng, what are you kidding!" He Xiangning sneered at the side: "They have Marxism-Leninism, which is scientific truth. How can they still believe in the Three People's Principles of the former Prime Minister?"

"Then we cooperated with the Communist Party that believed in Marxism-Leninism, did we betray the former Prime Minister?"

Soong Ching Ling's pink face immediately darkened: "Zhesheng, what exactly do you want to say?"

"Ma'am, although the rightists of the Kuomintang are traitors to the former Prime Minister's proposals, they have not completely betrayed them. They still follow some of the former Premier's proposals, such as advancing democracy first, realizing land to the tiller, and abolishing all unlawful policies. Treaty of equality." Deng Yanda still maintained a gentle smile, he said: "It seems that what they have betrayed the Prime Minister is that they want to be an imperialist state policy of war, and this is the main difference between us and them. "

Soong Ching Ling frowned, and pondered: "Are there only so many differences? There seems to be more than that?"

Deng Yanda said indifferently: "But these are the only things that can be put on the table."

Chapter 0691 anti-war alliance (four) against defeat, against victory!

At noon in early February 1934, Luo Yaoguo, Lu Xiaobei, and Natalie were invited to have lunch with Ms. Soong Ching Ling at No. 2 Molière Road. They were invited to a restaurant facing the balcony on the second floor of the small building. Inside, take a seat at a tablecloth-covered table and eat soup, grilled fish, veal, salad and fruit.These were delivered on gold-rimmed china trays by light-footed, breezy waiters.Soong Ching Ling ate very little. She only tasted a bite of each dish before ordering the waiter to take it away.Apparently the woman had gotten a little fat and was on a diet.Luo Yaoguo was a little hungry and just buried his head in eating, while Deng Yanda only ate occasionally, and spent most of his time smoking while talking, the content of the conversation was all about the world war and the anti-war movement.

Deng Yanda said that the Soviet Union was a vast country with rich resources, strong industry, and large population, so it had great war potential.In the past few years, he visited the Soviet Union in winter, and he was deeply impressed by the terrible cold of the Soviet Union in winter.

"Fuwen, we Chinese can't stand the cold in Siberia." Deng Yanda said with a look of worry: "Once the Soviets drag the war to winter, our army will collapse like Napoleon's army without a fight." And the Soviet Union is so big, they can trade space for time. They will tear down the railways, burn the towns, and clear the walls, just like they did against Napoleon's army. Then we will be defeated!"

"Well, speaking of it, Brother Zesheng opposed the war because he was afraid of losing the war. It seems that the situation is better than expected."

Hearing Luo Yaoguo's sarcasm, Deng Yanda nodded unhappily, and continued: The First World War has taught all powerful countries the most profound lesson, and it is unrealistic to rely on war to seize land.And a country as vast and powerful as the Soviet Union is impossible to defeat!How many kilometers did the mighty German Imperial Army advance from their borders to Paris in the last World War?Almost every inch of progress required tens of thousands of deaths and injuries... and finally lost because the country could not bear the pain caused by the war!And now the Soviet Union is much stronger and vaster than France at that time, and the Bolsheviks are more prepared for war than France at that time, not to mention the terrible winter in the Soviet Union!So the war that China is preparing to enter is doomed to fail!
