"Old Zhang!" Li Zhilong hurriedly looked around and saw that there was no one else on the bridge, so he let out a sigh of relief: "You can't talk nonsense, if the Soviet advisor Zhukov hears it, I can't keep it. You are old!"

Shen Honglie shook his head disdainfully: "What does that drunk know about the navy? Zaitian, let me tell you, the Soviet navy was not good at all. Tsarist Russia was okay at that time, but it was not good in the Soviet Union. If you want to learn the navy, you have to learn from the United Kingdom, the United States, or even the United States. There is German or Chinese imperialism. Look at the powerful fleet of the Japanese, 35 warships were sunk by the Chinese imperialists in less than a day! It’s amazing! How did they do it? I heard they were still sunk A battleship? I really don't understand..."

Just as Shen Honglie's words came to this point, he suddenly heard a dull "rumbling" sound, and then the hull of the ship slammed!Neither Shen Honglie nor Li Zhilong paid attention, they were both knocked to the ground.

"Torpedo! It's a torpedo!" After all, Shen Honglie was a strictly trained naval officer, and he knew that he had been hit by a torpedo just after thinking about it for a while.When he got up with the support of Li Zhilong, he found that the battleship had already tilted to the right, and looked out the window, and saw that the other two battlecruisers were also emitting billowing black smoke...

"Abandon the ship! Abandon the ship!" Shen Honglie shouted at several officers who rushed in in a panic: "Go and organize the abandonment!"

"Old Zhang! The battleship can still be saved, but it was hit by a torpedo." Li Zhilong grabbed Shen Honglie who was running out.

Shen Honglie glanced back at Li Zhilong, smiled wryly and said: "It can't be saved, our sailors are not Japanese, and this ship has just been touched, and they don't even know the way, so abandon the ship quickly!"

Chapter 0570 Chiang Kai-shek's Xi'an Incident ([-]) took a turn for the worse

With a snap, Stalin clenched his fist and slammed it on the desk angrily. The members of the Revolutionary Military Council opposite, the director of the Workers' and Peasants' Navy Mukelevich, and the chairman of the Revolutionary Military Council Voroshilov trembled unconsciously. .

"...these yellow-skinned pigs! How dare they sink a Soviet battleship! That battleship was bought with the hard-earned money of the Soviet people, and it was sunk by the Chinese imperialists! These hateful imperialists , It’s too abominable! We can’t let it go like this, we want revenge! Let them taste the power of the Soviet iron fist!”

Stalin has been yelling in his Georgian Russian for half an hour!Ever since Voroshilov and Mukelevich came to inform him of the sinking of three battleships and battlecruisers that cost the Soviet Union millions of dollars, they have been roaring and furious.

Seeing Stalin getting angry there, Voroshilov and Mukelevich also hastily put on expressions of righteous indignation, so as to be in line with the Party Central Committee.

Voroshilov waved his fist angrily, and shouted loudly: "Yes! We must deal with the Chinese imperialists severely, and let them know the serious consequences of offending the Soviet Union!"

Mukelevich even jumped on his feet and scolded there: "We must not let them go! We must call on the proletariat of the world to unite and oppose the Chinese imperialists' aggression against the Soviet Union! I suggest that we immediately report to the Chinese imperialists. Declare war! Send the Red Army to attack Mongolia and Xinjiang and liberate the working people there!"

"Attack Mongolia, attack Xinjiang..."

Stalin walked back and forth in the office, chanting these two sentences over and over in his mouth, but his eyebrows gradually furrowed.

"Voroshilov, what do you think? Is the Red Army sure to liberate Mongolia and Xinjiang in a short period of time?" He stopped and looked back at Voroshilov with an angry expression on his face: "Now there are conflicts between Mongolia and Xinjiang. How many troops? How many troops can we send out to attack? Is the Workers’ and Peasants’ Red Army sure of victory?”

Voroshilov thought for a while, and his expression gradually became serious: "Comrade Stalin, Mongolia is now nominally under the jurisdiction of the CCP...and the CCP has formulated a plan to eliminate the 'traitor group' that ruled Mongolia. It is about to be put into practice. If we invade Mongolia now, will it cause the split of the CCP? Wouldn’t it be cheaper for the Chinese imperialists?” Seeing that Father Si’s expression softened, Voroshilov appealed softly He breathed a sigh of relief and continued to analyze: "The ruler of Xinjiang is the warlord Wang Self-examination. This person has always pursued an anti-Soviet and anti-communist policy, but his youth army is relatively strong. There are about 15 troops in Xinjiang. The railway has been repaired to Yumen Pass. Once a war starts in Xinjiang, the Kuomintang troops will probably be mobilized to Xinjiang soon, and the war is likely to reach a stalemate."

Stalin stopped and gave Voroshilov a cold look: "So what? Are we still afraid of the Chinese?"

Seeing Stalin's stern and stern gaze, Voroshilov couldn't help shivering, sweating profusely all over his body, knowing that he might have said something wrong this time.Hastily cast a look of help to Mukelevich next to him, how dare Mukelevich get angry?The call for help from Voroshilov was just as if he hadn’t seen it, and he was still thinking about how to step on it... But Voroshilov, who was always unresponsive during the war, was dealing with Stalin’s anger. Still a bit quick-witted.Before Mukelevich could figure out how to add insult to injury, he had a remark to divert Stalin's attention: "Comrade Stalin, don't forget that the Chinese imperialists are not fighting alone! Behind them are the British and American imperialists! There is Polish imperialism!" As he spoke, he gave the Polish Mukelevich a cold look, gritted his teeth, and said: "There is a treaty between the Chinese imperialists and the Polish imperialists against the Soviet Union! If the Soviet Union attacks the Chinese imperialists , Poland will attack our western border!"

Stalin's eyes on Voroshilov suddenly softened, and the Soviet Union was not afraid of Poland's attack.But once Poland declares war on the Soviet Union, Britain and France will definitely lean towards Poland... and the trade between the Soviet Union and Britain, France and the United States will also be affected. China uses a very powerful navy!Even the Japanese navy, the third largest in the world, was defeated, and the Soviet navy was definitely not their opponent.If they use the port of Danzig in Poland as a base, they can easily block the Soviet sea transportation line, and the sea transportation of Vladivostok will also be cut off by the Chinese. In addition, Chinese submarines can also enter the Mediterranean Sea. That Mussolini should ask They provide convenience, and Turkey will also assist them secretly.At that time, most of the foreign trade of the Soviet Union will be interrupted, and the machine cannot be bought, and the five-year plan will be ruined!The five-year plan has failed, and the time to liberate all mankind will be greatly delayed.

"Comrade Voroshilov, you are very thoughtful, which is very good." Stalin nodded to Voroshilov: "We must be vigilant against the collusion between Polish imperialism and Chinese imperialism. Our words..." At this point, he gave Mukelevich a cold look again: "Comrade Mukelevich, do you expect Poland and China to jointly attack the Soviet Union?"

When Muklevich heard this, he almost fainted, his mind was blank, his legs were trembling, and he looked at Stalin pitifully: "Comrade Stalin! I... I am to you, to the Soviet Union, and to the Party. But they are all loyal! How could I expect Poland and China to join forces? I have no such idea, absolutely not.”

"No?" Stalin asked back, and then asked himself: "Then why did you suggest that the Soviet Union declare war on Chinese imperialism when you knew there was a Sino-Polish treaty?"

"This..." Mukelevich was crying, and beads of sweat kept rolling down his forehead: "I mean, I mean... By the way, we can unite with Japan! Let's unite with Japan to deal with China , so that we can offset the advantages of the Chinese navy, and at the same time, we can also contact the Chinese Nationalist Government through the CCP and pass on the news that we want to unite with Japan. As long as they agree to compensate us for our losses, we don’t have to attack them , and united with Japan.”

Stalin looked at Muklevich with complicated eyes: "It's not too bad. The Kuomintang can pick up the boat, copy it and repair it completely, so that we don't need to repair it ourselves. They should agree to this condition, right?"

……

"Assistant Commander!"

There was a sound of military boots, and Luo Yaoguo, who was lazily leaning on the western leather chair in Wanzhutang, raised his eyes and saw Zhao Zheng and Zhang Yiming walking in side by side.Zhang Yiming's face sank like water, and he saluted beautifully.Zhao Zheng's salute was much more sloppy, his eyes were just looking around.

Both of them were urgently summoned to Wanzhutang after the "Tanggu Incident". The incident of the three warships that "voted to the Communist Party" being sunk in Tanggu Port naturally caused an uproar.The relationship between the two parties, which had been eased because the Kuomintang was willing to return Shanhaiguan and Qinhuangdao, inevitably deteriorated sharply again.The CCP organized demonstrations of millions of citizens in Beijing and Tianjin to protest the anti-Soviet atrocities of the Chinese imperialists, and put forward the slogan of "defending the Soviet Union" again, while the Soviet government lodged strong protests to the National Government through various channels, demanding punishment The perpetrators, uh, that is Luo Yaoguo and the two in front of him, have to pay for the damage, salvage and repair the three warships, and send them safely to Vladivostok... Otherwise, the Soviet Union may consider joining forces with Japan to defeat the Chinese warships. Imperialism!

"Brother Youshi, you have to tell me the truth about this." Luo Yaoguo sat up straight and looked at Zhang Yiming gently.Zhang Yiming has always had the nickname "Crazy Zhang" in the Kuomintang Navy, which was given to him by Zhao Zheng.Because this guy always talks about Wu Jungang who used submarines to sneak attack on the Japanese United Fleet, this time when the "Manchuria Incident" broke out, he came up with a surprise attack plan and came to sell it to Luo Yaoguo, but it was naturally rejected .Moreover, after the Japanese warship "voted to the Communist Party", this person proposed to Zhao Zheng a plan to use submarines to raid Dagu Port. At present, this plan is still on Luo Yaoguo's desk!Luo Yaoguo was also hesitating about whether to approve or not, but he didn't expect that something had already happened!Could it be that the Kuomintang navy has now become as disobedient as the Japanese army in another time and space?

Hearing Luo Yaoguo call himself "brother", Zhang Yiming frowned subconsciously. In this sensitive period, calling him brother is not a good sign!He snapped to attention: "Assistant Marshal, I have checked the logbooks of all 24 submarines and the torpedoes on board... At the time of the incident, none of the torpedoes were patrolling near Dagukou, and all Now, it was not launched. So we did not do this! Someone else planted us."

Luo Yaoguo glanced at Zhang Yiming again, seeing that he didn't look like he was telling a lie, so he nodded with a smile: "It's not that we do well, we are not afraid of being framed by others." What he didn't say after that was "just I'm afraid you soldiers won't obey orders!"

"What the assistant commander said is, what is there to be afraid of being framed? Even the Japanese navy is defeated by us, what can the Soviet Union do? As long as their 'Gangut' class dare to come, once they pass Malacca, If you are humble, keep them safe and sink them!" At this moment, after finding out Luo Yaoguo's cards, Zhao Zheng also heaved a sigh of relief, and patted his chest to guarantee Luo Yaoguo.

"Through Malacca?" Luo Yaoguo sneered: "I don't want them to leave the Baltic Sea! Hanyu, you are ready to go to Zhanjiang, and the airmen on the two aircraft carriers will go back together. Poland and Italy will 'invite' you to visit soon He paused, and then said: "Tomorrow I will go back to Wuhan, and the bureau will hold an emergency meeting to discuss this matter. You two go to prepare, I need enough evidence to prove that this matter was done by the Japanese , they also have submarines!"

Zhao Zheng and Zhang Yiming were slightly taken aback when they heard the words. To be honest, who did the "Tanggu incident" this time, they are also at a loss. Of course, the Japanese are suspected, but the CCP may not be out of tricks... Besides Where are they going to find evidence to prove that the Japanese did it?

After a long while, I heard Zhao Zheng's embarrassing words: "... Assistant Marshal, even if we 'produce' any evidence, the Soviet Union will not believe it, right? Right now, the Soviet Union and Japan are in the honeymoon period..."

Luo Yaoguo said deeply: "Who said it was for the Soviets? This is for Zhan Gong (Hu Hanmin) and Ru Gong (Xu Chongzhi). My uncle will definitely be with me. Now Jie Gong is all about pleasing the people below. General, so I will not embarrass your navy with this matter... and he himself has always advertised that he is anti-Soviet, even if it was really you who did it, he will protect him. Now as long as you fool Mr. Zhan and Mr. Ru, the presidium will be unanimous .”

"Really want to go to war with the Soviet Union?" Zhao Zheng frowned and shook his head slightly: "The expedition of thousands of miles is really not very appropriate. The navy has no experience and no preparations for this kind of thing, and the use of the only two aircraft carriers is not right. ..."

Luo Yaoguo just sneered: "Now we are almost going to defeat the Japanese navy. If there are no accidents, the East Asian hegemony will be ours soon... From now on, the British and American suspicions about Japan will turn to us! So now we are not afraid to confront the Soviet Union , as long as our relationship with the Soviet Union is tense, Britain and the United States will support us with confidence, because it is impossible for us to fight against the Soviet Union and Britain and the United States at the same time! On the contrary, if we reconcile with the Soviet Union, things will be worse... This matter must be tough to the end !"

"Then will the Soviet Union form an alliance with Japan to deal with us?" Zhao Zheng asked again.

Luo Yaoguo shook his head: "Probably not. From the 'Tanggu Incident', it can be seen that the Japanese actually have brains and will not form an alliance with the Soviet Union. What they need now is the support of Britain and the United States, not the Communist Party of the Soviet Union. Doctrine." At this point, he sighed again: "The trouble now is not the alliance between Japan and the Soviet Union, but the reaction of the CCP. The Japanese's move is really clever! Three birds with one stone."

……

Zhongnanhai, West Flower Hall.

"Comrades! The world revolution has reached the most dangerous moment! Chinese imperialism has revealed its reactionary and ferocious true colors. As Communists, as members of the Communist International and internationalist fighters, we should stand unequivocally on the Soviet Union, stand on the On the side of truth! Hold high the banner of defending the Soviet Union and fight to the end with Chinese imperialism!" Comrade Wang Ming looked very excited at the moment, as if it was not the three "Soviets" that were sunk, but the four "Karls" of imperialism in the Kuomintang .While he was eloquently talking about the principles of world revolution and internationalism, he glanced at the other people in the conference room from the corner of his eyes.It seemed that the atmosphere in the conference room was a bit dull, most of the comrades were frowning, only Zhang Wentian who also came back from the Soviet Union was as excited as him.Although in this time and space, the great Soviet Red Army is always defeated... But in the eyes of Wang Ming and those comrades who came back from the Soviet Union, the Soviet Red Army is still the most powerful in the world, and the war between the Kuomintang imperialists and the Soviet Union is bound to fail. And the defeat of the Kuomintang is naturally the victory of the Chinese revolution!

Comintern adviser Miff returned a smiling face to Wang Ming. Of course, he was looking forward to the future Sino-Soviet war, but after all, the Soviet warship had just been sunk, so he had to put on a sad look.Miff wiped his tears and said with a smile: "Comrade Wang Ming is right, we are all internationalist fighters, the victory of the Soviet Union is the victory of the Chinese revolution, the failure of the Soviet Union is the failure of the Chinese revolution, so at this critical moment, the CCP It should be in line with the Communist International and the Soviet Union." As he said this, he turned his head and glanced at Zhou Enlai who was sighing: "Comrade Enlai, I don't think there is any need to discuss the matter of lending to the Kuomintang now, right?"

Zhou Enlai just nodded silently without speaking.Originally, he and most of the comrades in the Politburo were in favor of taking back Shanhaiguan and Qinhuangdao without a fight.After all, the terrain of Shanhaiguan is dangerous, and as soon as you enter Shanhaiguan, you will see a large plain, and the terrain will gradually open up.According to Cui Kefu's analysis, if the two "armored divisions" of the Kuomintang attacked Beijing from Qinhuangdao, they would be able to reach the city of Beijing within a day or two at most!The CCP's Red Army, which lacks anti-tank weapons, has no way to stop it.

"Comrade Miff, if the Soviet Union and the Kuomintang go to war... what about the Anti-Japanese War in Northeast China? Do we need the Anti-Japanese National United Front?" Mao Zedong frowned, feeling uneasy in his heart, and asked tentatively.

Wang Ming waved his hand indifferently, and said majesticly: "As long as we eliminate the Kuomintang imperialism, defeating Japan and regaining the Northeast is not a trivial matter? Now China's political life is all about the new Chinese Soviet Republic and the reactionary and decadent The struggle between the Chinese imperialists! The prerequisite for victory in the Northeast War of Resistance is also the elimination of the Chinese imperialists!"

Mao Zedong didn't say anything anymore, he knew that Wang Ming's brain was flooded again.In this kind of national resistance and rising nationalism, let the Japanese not fight and help the Soviet Union fight against imperialism. Is this kind of thing the Kuomintang could only wish for?Maybe their real purpose of sinking the three warships was to force the CCP to join forces with the Soviet Union to start a war... In this way, in the eyes of the people who don't know the truth, the CCP is the Soviet Union... This trick is really cruel!This Wang Ming is too stupid!The road of this Chinese revolution is really too tortuous.

"And Japan has now shown that they will restore the Northeast to its pre-war state after defeating the Kuomintang's military power in the Northeast, and Comrade Pu Yi is also a secret member of the Communist International. That is, as long as the Kuomintang's military power in the Northeast is eliminated From now on, the Northeast will be our party's world! Under such circumstances, why do we need to join the chariot of Chinese imperialism?" Wang Ming continued to talk nonsense: "I suggest that we should send troops to attack Shanhaiguan and Qinhuangdao, Take it from the Kuomintang army! At the same time, make preparations to fully take over the Northeast."

Chapter 0571 of Chiang Kai-shek's Xi'an Incident (five) Chiang has a way!

Hearing Wang Ming's arguments, Zhou Enlai, Mao Zedong, Zhu De, Xiang Ying, and Liu Shaoqi all shook their heads slightly, thinking that Wang Ming was either crazy or pretending to be crazy.And now that the Kuomintang has won the sea battle in the Bohai Bay, once they have control of the sea in the Bohai Bay, they are almost invincible, and the probability of the Japanese driving them into the sea is really negligible.

Zhou Enlai shook his head slightly, and was about to explain.I heard Miff's voice suddenly sounded: "Although the Kuomintang imperialism is incurable, and its demise is a matter of time, Comrade Stalin and the Soviet Union still want to resolve the crisis with the greatest goodwill and cooperate with the Kuomintang empire. Reconciliation with Doctrine. Of course, the Kuomintang must show enough sincerity, punish the perpetrators and those responsible, send members of the presidium to the Soviet Union to apologize, and be responsible for salvaging the three battleships and completely repairing them. As long as the above conditions are met, The Soviet Union can forgive the Kuomintang for this mistake. In addition, the Soviet government hopes that the CCP can inform the Kuomintang of the Soviet Union’s intentions during the Xi’an negotiations, and at the same time serve as a bridge for formal negotiations between the Soviet Union and the Kuomintang.”

Zhou Enlai immediately agreed to Miff's request this time.He actually has a different view on the "Tanggu incident". This incident should not be a decision made by the Kuomintang presidium. It is impossible for the Kuomintang presidium to make a decision on such a big matter in such a short period of time.This attack is very likely to be ordered by some frontline commanders to open fire without authorization... If the guess is correct, it should be the order issued by Luo Yaoguo, who has always adhered to the anti-Soviet stance!However, most of the KMT presidium may not approve of it. This also gave the CCP the possibility to unite most of the top KMT leaders to oppose this crazy move of war against the Soviet Union. Even Chiang Kai-shek and Xu Chongzhi wished Luo Yaoguo bad luck, right?It would be ideal if this opportunity could be used to break the balance of power within the Kuomintang and cause further splits in the Kuomintang.

Thinking of this, Zhou Enlai felt a little regretful. Right now, the leftists of the Kuomintang have split from the Kuomintang. Otherwise, they are very likely to be the beneficiaries of this incident, and they might be able to compete for a vice-chairman seat... The road will be much smoother.

Mao Zedong didn't take Stalin's wishful thinking very seriously, and now all the Soviet battleships have been sunk by the Kuomintang!And sank three ships at once!Under such circumstances, the Soviet Union did not dare to declare war, so what did it say to have the greatest goodwill?If you have good intentions, don't do such shameless things.Now that I have been slapped in the face by others, if you talk about good intentions, you can tell that the Soviet Union is afraid of the Kuomintang. If you want others to apologize and compensate you like this, isn't this a dream?

"Comrade Miff, if the Kuomintang rejects the request made by the Soviet Union, will the Soviet Union go to war immediately? What position should our party adopt at that time?" Mao Zedong tentatively asked.

"They dare!" Wang Ming couldn't help shouting again: "We will mobilize the people and the working class in the Kuomintang-controlled areas to launch strikes, school strikes, and market strikes, take to the streets to protest, exert pressure on the Chinese imperialists, and force them to compensate the Soviet Union for their losses. , Punish those responsible!"

Zhou Enlai frowned, and said to himself, "If the people in the south had such awareness, the Chinese revolution would have been victorious long ago... Besides, if this kind of protest is not launched, the Kuomintang may bow to the Soviet Union because of internal conflicts. This kind of protest, it is estimated that they will become a monolith!"
