Grand Duke Alexander's lips moved, as if he wanted to say something, but he couldn't speak for a while. After a while, he whispered: "Well, I will persuade Her Royal Highness to leave for Vladivostok as soon as possible. , but... how do you plan to arrange that General Wang? Do you want him to be a Russian general or a Chinese intervention army?"

"Then let's intervene in the army." Luo Yaoguo waved his hand and said with a smile, "Let us restrain this warlord."

Alexander nodded slightly, then turned to look at Japan's Chargé d'Affaires Shigemitsu Aoi: "Is the Japanese side also planning to send an intervention army?"

……

Vladivostok, Wuyi District, Trotskyite Central Building.

Rakovsky looked at the guards who were setting up barricades outside the building, and his eyes almost burst into flames. Those Chinese actually launched a coup before the foreign enemies were repelled!First, he assassinated Trotsky and his son, then suddenly withdrew 10,000+ troops from the front line, leaving his direct troops on the Ussuriysk front line.At the same time, he suddenly launched an attack in the city of Vladivostok and sent troops to surround the building he was in. Except for a small number of guards, he has no way to contact any troops now.

"Comrade Rakovsky, the Chinese have sent negotiators..."

"Let them go back, I will not negotiate with these traitors, absolutely not!" The adjutant left disappointed, Rakovsky still stood there quietly.Now Trotsky is dead, and he seems to be dying soon. From now on, Lenin's career will depend on Stalin's. I hope there will be a day when communism can be realized.

"Comrade Rakovsky, Lieutenant General Toshiichi Terauchi, head of the Japanese Military Advisory Group, seeks an audience..."

"Oh? What is he here for? Bring him here, and I'll see him right away."

When Toshiichi Terauchi walked into the office, Rakovsky was still standing at the window, watching his little guard outside confront the Chinese Trotskyist troops who were gathering more and more.Hearing footsteps, Rakovsky let out a long sigh, turned around, and smiled wryly at the calm Japanese in front of him.

Terauchi Shouichi nodded slightly, and said with a slight smile: "I have heard about what happened to Comrade Trotsky, and now I am here to discuss with you how to deal with the aftermath. There are still more than 30 troops here, and the number one fortress in the Far East. It should be Is there still hope?"

Rakovsky snorted: "Hope? What hope is there? Comrade Trotsky is gone, and those Chinese want to drive us to extinction... Huh, they don't even think about it, without Trotsky Kei, what are they going to use to fight Stalin? Unless their mother country directly sends troops to invade, but in that case, they will face the Patriotic War in which the entire Soviet people are united!"

Terauchi Shouyi smiled, found a chair opposite Rakovsky and sat down: "The Great Patriotic War? What about you and your army? If we have a way to let you return to the area controlled by Stalin to participate in the Great Patriotic War... ...will you go?"

The muscles on Rakovsky's face trembled slightly, and after a long time, he shook his head with difficulty.Going back to Stalin can only be a dead end.Now that Trotsky is dead, Stalin may no longer carry out an anti-Tuo movement in the Bolshevik Party, but for an opponent like himself who once fought against him, he will definitely kill the roots!That is the only way to deter any dissident opponents in the party.

Terauchi Shouichi still had a faint smile on his face: "Comrade Rakovsky, in fact, there is still a way out for you and your subordinates." He paused and emphasized his tone: "You are all Russians! Russia is your real motherland! The Soviet Union is just passing by. As a Russian, should you be loyal to Joseph Stalin, a Georgian? Or to Anastasia Nikolaeva Romanova Where is Her Majesty the Queen?"

"What are you talking about!?" Rakovsky's face pulled down: "Do you want to restore the decadent Romanov dynasty in Russia! Do you think Russians will miss the Tsar? This idea is really ridiculous, no People will go with the Tsar... No, no, no, no one will agree..."

Terauchi Shouyi pulled the corner of his mouth and sneered: "How do you know that the people below will not support the Romanov Dynasty? As a bystander, I am sure that the living standards of the Soviet people are far inferior to those before the World War, and even Worse than the time of the world wars...I can’t understand why the Russian people don’t love a Russian dynasty that can provide them with food and clothing, but love a Georgian who ruled them brutally? This is just ridiculous.”

"No, that's not the case. What the Russians want is a powerful country! Not a backward empire like Tsarist Russia. The efforts of the Russians will be rewarded in the future!" Rakovsky argued.

"Hehe, Mr. Rakovsky, do you think that the current Soviet Union, which is casually bullied by Poland and China, can be considered strong?"

Under the dim light, Rakovsky's face was ashen.

……

In Wang Zhongyi's former enemy headquarters in the Xiedanka Valley, the atmosphere is also gloomy and gloomy.Some staff officers sat there in a daze.When the phone rang, I couldn't remember to answer it.It turned out that those young officers who were so complacent because they had just won the battle were like eggplants beaten by frost.I stared and couldn't believe everything that happened in these short twenty hours.Trotsky was killed... probably by their boss Wang Zhongyi!The next thing was the collapse of the front line of Ussuriysk. Fortunately, the luggage and most of the heavy weapons had been transferred to the Xiedanka line of defense before, and at the same time that Trotsky was assassinated, the troops on the front line began to retreat quickly. Blocked the entrance to the Shedanka Mountains in time.But what to do next?The [-] to [-] Soviet Trotskyite troops abandoned by them in Ussuriysk collapsed without a leader. Except for some who lost their armor and armor and fled back to the Xiedanka line of defense, the rest were either captured or not eliminated.As for the Sino-Sototian armed forces in the urban area of ​​​​Vladivostok, there will probably be an internal strife. After all these internecine killings are done, I don’t know if there is any strength to resist Stalin’s army?It is obviously a good situation, how could it become like this?

In one corner of the headquarters, a heated argument took place, and the voices tended to grow louder.

"... Now there is no other way but to support Empress Anastasia! Stalin will not let you go. And without the banner of Trotsky in the eyes of the Russians, you are the aggressors! They will fight you to the end, even the Russians in Vladivostok are equally unreliable! The only way is to restore the Romanov dynasty! As for communism, forget about it!"

The one who spoke was Wu Ziliang, director of the Kuomintang Military Intelligence Bureau, his fat face trembling with his agitated movements.He did not support Wang Zhongyi's recklessness from the very beginning, and he did not believe in Stalin's promise at all.However, when Wang Zhongyi insisted on getting rid of Trotsky, he had no way to object, but stayed in Wang Zhongyi's headquarters and kept selling the plan to restore Tsarist Russia.However, the minds of those Chinese Trotskyist military elites who have always regarded communism as a scripture are obviously not so easy to change.If it is from the Far Eastern Republic, everyone may still accept it, but it is a bit ridiculous to ask them to support the restoration of Tsarist Russia!They are revolutionaries, and Tsarist Russia is a counter-revolution... How can a revolutionist support a counter-revolution to come to power?

"But that is the reactionary regime of Tsarist Russia whose hands are stained with the blood of the Chinese people!" Several voices rang out almost simultaneously.The tone is fierce and the attitude is impolite.He didn't care about the feelings of Wang Zhongyi who was sitting next to them!Some sacred things, such as ideals, loyalty, worship, etc., must be maintained as much as possible. Once the sacred mask is removed, people often find that the person they have been worshiping is just a selfish villain!After Wang Zhongyi killed Trotsky, the nominal leader of the Trotskyist faction, although his subordinates were still obeying his orders, the fanatical worship no longer existed...

"Pedantic! We only support the supporters of the Romanov dynasty to fight against the supporters of Stalin! When Empress Anastasia is crowned in Vladivostok, all the White Russias from all over the world will come to her. At that time, it will be White Russia and Red Russia Fight! We just need to sit back and watch the tigers fight... No matter who dies, the loss is the power of Russia! The more Russians die, the better for us! And your dream of establishing a country in the Far East The easier it is to do!"

"The establishment of a country in the Far East? Is there any hope? Even if the Soviet Union perishes, the Nationalist government will put the Far East under direct rule, right?"

"Then what you are doing now is also very meaningful. The country has regained its lost ground because of your hard work, and future generations will never forget your contributions! Brother, don't hesitate!"

Sitting there, Wang Zhongyi was exhausted.Those staff officers were rude and loud in front of him, which made him feel extremely lost.He suddenly realized what a stupid thing he had done. He tore off the sacred mask on his face with his own hands!The army would no longer worship him as a god.Now he finally understands why Luo Yaoguo has always held up Hu Hanmin, who has little strength, because he is unwilling to break the rules of the National Revolutionary Army... he has been promoting communism all the time, But he betrayed the CCP first, and then killed Trotsky. He was trampling on the sanctity of communism wantonly. How can the people below believe it?Maybe we can no longer use this flag to fool people in the future?

Wang Zhongyi finally stood up: "Call the national government to express our obedience and ask them to instruct the next action! Whether to support the queen is up to the national government to decide! We will obey the orders of the central government in the future. "After speaking, he glanced at Lin Yurong who was expressionless: "I'm a little tired, I'll leave it to you to take command here, and we must hold the Xiedanka line of defense, please."

After speaking, Wang Zhongyi let out a long sigh, turned and left the war room.Wu Ziliang, on the other hand, stared blankly at his tired figure, and heaved a sigh of relief.

Chapter 0670 National Defense Forces ([-]) National Army

The current military system of the Republic of China is obviously not a very perfect system.There is not even a unified army belonging to the state.The National Revolutionary Army of the Kuomintang, the Youth Army of the Youth Party, the border guards of the Communist Party, the Trotskyist alliance army commanded by Wang Zhongyi, and the almost forgotten army of Liu Wenhui.These armies are theoretically all China's armed forces, but in fact they are not under each other's control, and even guard against each other.Such a military system obviously does not match the status of the Republic of China as a great power, and it is not what a modern country should have.

As the most powerful National Revolutionary Army among the various armies in China, it is not actually the national army in the true sense, but it is not the so-called Kuomintang army.Because the supreme commander of this army is neither the head of state nor the chairman of the Kuomintang, but an institution called the Military Commission of the National Government.This committee, composed of more than a dozen high-level figures of the Kuomintang or the National Revolutionary Army, jointly assumes the responsibility of the Supreme Commander of the National Revolutionary Army. Only through this committee can it have the power to issue military orders.Under this committee, there are the Ministry of the Army, the General Staff, the Navy, the Armaments, the Political Department, the Air Force General Administration, and the Army Education General Administration.Among them, the Ministry of the Army in charge of military affairs and the General Staff in charge of military orders are the most important. The Minister of the Army is concurrently held by Chiang Kai-shek, chairman of the Military Commission, and the chief of general staff is concurrently held by Luo Yaoguo, vice-chairman of the Military Commission. These two are also facts of the National Revolutionary Army. commander in chief.China's head of state and Kuomintang leader, Hu Hanmin, is neither nominal commander-in-chief of the National Revolutionary Army, nor does he have much actual power.Both Chiang Kai-shek and Luo Yaoguo had the strength to overthrow Hu Hanmin, the chairman of the national government. It was only because of the need for a balance between the two major factions that Hu Hanmin was able to secure his position as the nominal head of state.The National Revolutionary Army and even certain forces are regarded as the masters of the National Government.

Everyone knows that such a system cannot guarantee the long-term stability of the country, nor can it guarantee that China will become a democratic and constitutional country in the near future.It is just a transitional institutional arrangement during the Kuomintang training period, and the training period in most parts of China has now passed halfway!

Now the National Revolutionary Army, the absolute main force of China's military force, has a total of 25 infantry divisions, five armored divisions (lightly armed divisions), one cavalry division, and one airborne division under formation, plus other artillery, workers, supplies, Affiliated units such as communications and health, plus military academies, military intelligence bureaus, and headquarters agencies, have a total of about 60 officers and soldiers wearing army uniforms under the usual understaffed establishment.The whole army has nearly [-] artillery pieces, over [-] mortars, and nearly [-] tanks of various types. In addition, it also has enough weapons and equipment to arm [-] infantry divisions.

The Air Force of the National Revolutionary Army now has three aviation divisions, one aviation school division, two anti-aircraft artillery divisions, plus a rather large ground support force, with a total strength of about 500 people, including about 500 pilots.As for the aircraft, it is guaranteed by the strong production capacity of the two major aviation industry companies, Sino-German Aircraft Industry Company and Republic Aircraft Company, so it is not a problem at all.On the contrary, the more than [-] strictly trained pilots of the Air Force and Navy are a truly valuable asset!

The National Revolutionary Army Navy is mainly composed of the two corps-level combat units of the Beiyang Fleet, plus aviation divisions, naval military academies, marines, and more than ten naval bases and coastal fortresses. It has five standard displacement ships. It is a [-]-ton Zhongshan-class aircraft carrier, four Polish Legion-class armored ships with a standard displacement of [-] tons, and four ships under construction with a standard displacement of up to [-] tons (publicly [-] tons) The Karl Marx-class battleship, plus other auxiliary ships such as light cruisers, anti-aircraft cruisers, destroyers, torpedo boats, submarines, landing ships, and transport ships, has a total of nearly [-] surface ships, more than [-] submarines, and a large total force More than [-] people.

Such an army with a total strength of 70 people, which has been armed to the teeth according to European standards, is already second to none in the world in terms of the size of the standing army, or the level of equipment and training.What's even more rare is that China's heavy industry system is already capable of producing most of the weapons and equipment needed by this army. According to the National Government's heavy industry development plan, by the 27th year of the Republic of China, China's heavy industry will continue to build on the existing foundation Greatly expanded, it will be enough to meet the needs of millions of well-equipped troops for high-intensity combat!

According to a secret clause in the "Anti-Comintern Pact" signed by the four countries of China, Germany, Poland and Japan, China is obliged to expand the size of her armed forces to more than 1938 million people before the end of 400!Among them, 300 million must be deployed in the Manchuria and Xinjiang sections of the Sino-Soviet border to cooperate with Germany and Poland in launching a full-scale attack on the Soviet Union.

Although the material conditions for expanding the army to participate in the world war can be fully met in six years, if the strange phenomenon of five armies in one country is not resolved, and the relationship between the National Revolutionary Army and the National Government is not correct, China can really achieve its future. Victory in this world war?Even if victory is achieved, can the National Revolutionary Army or other faction armies that have grown stronger in military conquest be transformed into a national army?If the central government of a world empire cannot control the army under its own name...how long can this empire last?

Obviously, the issue of the nationalization of the military must be resolved before China enters the Second World War. It is best to transform the military that is currently affiliated to various parties and factions into a national defense force affiliated to the central government.Even if this goal cannot be achieved, at least the National Revolutionary Army, the Youth Army and the Trotskyist Alliance Army should be reorganized into a unified national defense force!

But will those factions that really control the army give up their interests and hand over the army to form a national defense force that belongs to the country?If it were you, would you be willing to give up the power in your hands?If he refused to let go of power even himself, what would Chiang Kai-shek, who regards the army as his life, do?

Thinking of these problems, Luo Yaoguo shook his head slightly behind his desk, beating his head, as if he wanted to find a solution from the memory of his previous life.

"I seem to remember the National Revolutionary Army that lost the mainland in history, and finally became a nationalized army unconsciously... But now, can the National Revolutionary Army become a real National Defense Army? how should I do it?"

……

The door of the office was gently pushed open, and Natalie, who was wearing a colonel's military uniform, led Yang Yongtai, Secretary General of the Military Commission, into the room.Although he has the rank of lieutenant general, Secretary-General Yang is still dressed in a long robe and mandarin jacket, with a back comb and a folding fan in his hand, looking like a suave scribe.Luo Yaoguo hurriedly put down the documents in his hand, stood up and said to him, "Mr. Changqing, please sit down."

Yang Yongtai bowed slightly, then sat down, frowning and looking at the newspaper on the table.This is a "Central Daily" dated December 12, but on the front page it reads "National Defense Forces - the military force of the country" in bold and black letters.Yang Yongtai picked up the latest edition of "Central Daily", read the article on the front page at a glance, and then took a deep breath: "Fuwen, the article is signed by the owner, it was written by Hu Zhantang! No wonder the newspapers are full of such arguments recently... It seems that the future president is going to take over the military power, and he wants to use the pressure of public opinion to put pressure on the army! Fuwen, what do you think, is it possible that he will take over the military power? Let him step by step turn the former Prime Minister's National Revolutionary Army into Hu Zhantang's National Defense Army?"

Luo Yaoguo smiled reservedly, and said indifferently: "Mr. Changqing, our National Revolutionary Army is originally the country's armed force, but during the political training period, the military committee acts as the commander-in-chief of the armed forces. When the political training period is over, we will still It is necessary to return the army to the people... The remaining time of this political training period is only six or seven years. I think it is time to transform the National Revolutionary Army into the National Defense Army. This cannot be done overnight. It also involves The interests of the CCP, the Youth Party, Wang Zhongyi, Liu Wenhui, etc. After all, what we need is a unified national defense force."

Yang Yongtai took a deep breath, listening to Luo Yaoguo's tone, it seemed that he was ready to support the establishment of the National Defense Forces!Originally, both he and Chiang Kai-shek thought that Hu Hanmin was the only one who wanted to set up the National Defense Force, so they planned to unite with Luo Yaoguo to resist it.Unexpectedly, Hu Hanmin had already won the support of Luo Yaoguo!Now things will be difficult to handle... The National Revolutionary Army is currently under the joint rule of Jiang and Luo, Luo Yaoguo is slightly stronger than the generals, and the establishment of the National Defense Army is a big name, and for those generals of the Huangpu Department of the National Revolutionary Army , The formation of the National Defense Forces will not harm their interests much.Even for Luo Yaoguo, the vice chairman of the military committee, the impact is not too great, it's just that the person above him has been changed from Chiang Kai-shek to Hu Hanmin!But for Chiang Kai-shek, it turned from the "commander-in-chief" of the National Revolutionary Army to an aide of President Hu Hanmin!

Seeing Yang Yongtai frowning there, he looked like he was thinking hard.Luo Yaoguo also sighed softly: "Mr. Changqing, the establishment of the national defense force is the general trend, we can only follow it and not resist it. Besides, Hu Zhangong has no foundation in the army after all. Without Jiegong's help, he, the commander-in-chief of the armed forces It is also unstable. Moreover, the transformation of the National Revolutionary Army into the National Defense Force is not a matter of one day, which also includes the issue of merging the rest of China's armed forces into the National Defense Force. It might be possible."

Yang Yongtai looked at Luo Yaoguo quietly, and shook his head a little puzzled.Luo Yaoguo seemed to know his question, smiled slightly, and said indifferently: "Mr. Changqing, the real great cause of our generation of Chinese soldiers has just begun. This cause is not to fight for hegemony in the Central Plains, but to win a world empire for the country and nation! In order to win the future world war, now the second world war is imminent! So what we really need is such a national defense force that unites all the armed forces in China! As for our personal power...a national defense that won the world war Will the minister or the chief of staff of the national defense force not have a place in the post-war political arena? It is only a matter of time before he is elected president! Therefore, I hope that Mr. Changqing can persuade Jiegong to support the establishment of a nationalized national defense force .”

Yang Yongtai looked at him in surprise, and unconsciously tapped his fingers on the table.Could it be that Hu Hanmin's handwriting and Luo Yaoguo's instigation of the public opinion wave about the establishment of the National Defense Forces this time was not?But what is his purpose in doing this?Is it really a world war to destroy the Soviet Union?But Hu Hanmin himself does not support this war... What method will Luo Yaoguo want to use to start the war?

Luo Yaoguo looked at Yang Yongtai seriously: "The establishment of the National Defense Force will be an important part of our military expansion and preparation plan. At the same time as the establishment of the National Defense Force, there will also be a large-scale expansion of military equipment. The current army of 32 divisions will soon expand to 32 armies! Of course, the expansion of troops will not be completed in one step, but for the officers, their ranks and positions will be promoted quickly...so it is expected to be supported by most of the officers."

Yang Yongtai's thoughts turned rapidly. Whenever the army expanded, it would be supported by the officers, because the expansion of the army meant adding officials to ranks, and officers could easily get promoted.If the reorganization of the National Defense Forces and the military expansion plan are combined, it will be difficult for even Chiang Kai-shek to incite the officers to resist!

"Okay, I'll go and talk to Mr. Jie." Yang Yongtai stood up and was about to leave. He smiled and said, "But you'd better talk to Mr. Jie in person. Even if there's a little misunderstanding between you, you have to find him." Here is an opportunity to clarify that the future National Defense Forces still need you two at the helm."

Luo Yaoguo smiled and said: "Then Mr. Lao Changqing will mediate, how about inviting Mr. Jiegong and his wife and Mr. Changqing to my humble house tonight?"
