Beiyang 1917

"This idea doesn't work at all! Are the Germans so easy to deal with? All the grains and grains from Ukraine and Belarus were transported back to the Western Front by their trains. At this time, we are discussing with them to borrow food? How is it possible!" Trots said. Ji said bluntly.

"Comrade Trotsky, it depends on man's will. If we are overthrown, the Germans will not be left behind. Kamenev has another idea, so let's hear it?" Ulyanov asked Kamenev. He rolled his eyes.

Kamenev hesitated, stood up from his chair, cleared his throat and said,

"The best strategy is to borrow food and arms from the Germans, and then release the Bolsheviks in the prisoner-of-war camps to organize the Red Army. The middle strategy is to only borrow food. The worst strategy...the worst strategy is to abandon the non-alignment policy, and Soviet Russia directly joins the Allies! And Germany and Austria Fight side by side! Of course, it is not easy for the Russian people to turn this corner. After all, whether it was the February Revolution or the October Revolution last year, our slogans were peace, bread and land!"

Kamenev's idea was obviously not a whim, but the result of deliberation. No matter how good Soviet Russia is, can't it be the enemy of the whole world as Bukharin advocated?

Since it is impossible to negotiate peace with an enemy like Kolchak's White Guard, the enemy's enemy, Germany, has become an object to rely on and form an alliance at this time. In the eyes of Kamenev and Zinoviev, Trotsky The whole non-alignment policy of no war and no peace is nonsense!

Trotsky looked at Kamenev in surprise when he heard this, and then turned to look at Ulyanov again. Kamenev blushed and lowered his head, but Ulyanov remained expressionless. It's as if everything has nothing to do with me.

"Kamenev, are you planning to betray our cause and join hands with imperialism to continue the unjust war of imperialism?" Trotsky shouted angrily!

"Consolidating the regime is the first priority. If the regime is overthrown, how can we talk about our cause?" Zinoviev interjected.

"Now the Allied Powers are undoubtedly supporting the Kolchak gang. The purpose is to overthrow our new regime. The countryside and farmers are not on our side. The Chinese and Japan may soon move westward. If we don't Looking for foreign aid and fighting alone, the hope of victory is getting slimmer!" Sverdlov said on the sidelines.

"Comrade Ulyanov, withdrawal from the war was the basis for our Bolshevik victory last year and this year. If we rejoin the war, maybe even the working class will leave us!" Comrade Ryanov's plan was only spoken through the mouths of Kamenev and Zinoviev!

"Well, Comrade Trotsky, I think we need to keep up with the times. Last year we said to the working class that we would withdraw from the war and we meant it. This year we told the working class that in order to defend the regime, we must join hands with the enemy of the enemy. Fighting side by side, this is also sincere, I believe the workers will understand Zhong Yang's approach, defending the red regime is the first, and everything else is sidelines!"

The boy and the mentor had their hands behind their backs, answering Trotsky's question while twirling in circles.

"Comrade Trotsky, please face up to the difficult situation facing the Soviets. Germany cannot allow us to fail and allow Russia to return to the family of the Entente. Can we just sit back and watch Germany fail? If the Allies fail, then the victorious Entente The power of our country is much stronger than it is now, how can we still defend our regime?!"

"Land laws are not a panacea everywhere. The Chinese have implemented the 211 rent reduction regulations and the policy of exempting land taxes for three years on the 40 million square kilometers of land east of Lake Baikal and the Far East. The land beyond the mu is leased to landless peasants!

Since we declared all land state-owned, the local middle peasants, rich peasants, and landlords in the Chinese-occupied areas of Siberia almost overwhelmingly chose to become Chinese nationals!China - zheng fu pays half in cash and half in treasury bonds. In fact, the local poor and hired farmers no longer exist. Everyone can rent no more than 40 mu of land from zheng fu for farming, and they will also lend farm tools and seeds free of land tax within three years. , after three years the upper limit of land tax will not exceed %"

Zinoviev obviously did some research on the land policy adopted by the Chinese government in the Northern Federal Autonomous Region. The result of this discussion with Kamenev is that if the Kolchaks also implement the same in Russia If the land policy is not adopted, the "Land Decree", which was relied on by Soviet Russia as a big killer, will be greatly lost, and the foundation of the Bolshevik movement in the countryside will be severely weakened.

"The Chinese actually started to build a railway southward on the Siberian Railway in the east of Lake Baikal, saying that it was going to be built from Ulan-Ude to Kulun in Outer Mongolia, and the road was built faster. Now more than half of the local residents do not farm. They are all working on the railway construction site of the Chinese people, and in the Chinese language, this is called labor for food, and the wages are directly replaced by grain!" Kamenev continued.

Hearing this, Trotsky frowned. Recently, he had been sitting on an armored train on the eastern and southern lines to direct the battle with the White Guards, so he didn't know much about the movement made by the Chinese in the east. Ka's Dzerzhinsky Road,

"Comrade Dzerzhinsky, are these all true? Do we still maintain contact with the guerrillas in the east of Lake Baikal? Last time, didn't we say that the Chinese distributed rations for free? Now we will use work as relief." Already?" Trotsky asked in disbelief.

"It's a pity that the guerrillas in the east of Lake Baikal suffered a lot. The local policies adopted by the Chinese made the guerrillas the enemy of the common people. They couldn't get food from the Chinese, so they had to go to the common people's homes in the middle of the night to grab the Chinese distribution. Ration, so it is inevitable to become an enemy, and then it becomes a life-and-death relationship!

Now the guerrillas in the east of Lake Baikal that were lucky enough to survive have withdrawn to the west of Lake Baikal, and are active in the eastern Siberian Plain occupied by Japan! " Dzerzhinsky said with a smack of his mouth.

"The Chinese have consolidated the local regime so quickly? Is their land policy true? The common people will follow them if the free rations are not distributed?" Trotsky was extremely depressed and couldn't help shouting.

"Of course the free rations cannot be distributed forever. In just two months, the Chinese have consolidated the local regime. They now differentiate the relief groups. Those who do not have strong labor and food reserves at home can still apply for Zheng Fu relief food. Those who have Working families are helping them through the food shortage with work-for-work relief!

Moreover, they also engage in unified purchase and sales of grain. The rich peasants and landlords are happy to sell their grain to the government, in exchange for half of the cash and half of the grain coupons, and the grain deposited has interest!All goods shipped from the mainland of China will only accept Chinese banknotes in Chinese yuan. "

Zinoviev sighed and explained that he has been studying the policies adopted by the Chinese in Siberia for the past half month, and now it seems that the Chinese intend to completely take back this piece of land!

"On the one hand, there is the system of nationalization of land and the collection of surplus grain, and on the other hand, the Chinese distribute relief grain and provide relief with work. The land of middle peasants, rich peasants, and landlords exceeding 40 mu per capita is bought by the government instead of being confiscated and expropriated without compensation. You said Who will the common people go with? If you were a common people in Siberia, who would you go with?" Kamenev muttered.

"Kamenev! You are frightened by the Chinese. You are an outright Socialist Revolutionary. Are you planning to betray our cause and go to Siberia to follow the Chinese?! I suggest that Zhong Yang strictly review and add Rightist ideas and statements of Menev and Zinoviev!"

Untimely, Bukharin jumped out and clamored!Last time, Kamenev urged Ulyanov to come back to preside over the overall situation, and let him step down as the chairman of the central committee after only a few days.

"Comrade Bukharin, Kamenev and Zinoviev studied the policies adopted by the Chinese in Siberia according to my instructions. Don't just label us indiscriminately. Your tone is like the Socialist Revolutionaries attacking us as Germans. What's the difference between the sent spies?"

Ulyanov dissatisfiedly stopped Bukharin's accusations against Kamenev and Zinoviev, wondering if he should be thrown to the front line of Kazan to suffer a little bit so that he would not be loud all day long.

"Comrade Trotsky, making peace with Germany is a double-edged sword, but international politics has always been like this. The enemy of the enemy is the friend we can unite with. I think that the diplomatic strategy of Soviet Russia must make some adjustments. We must first defend Stop the regime in your hands before you can consider other things, anyway, no matter how good we are, the landlords and rich peasants should follow the Kolchaks and will not look back!"

Ulyanov looked at the chairman of the Supreme Revolutionary Military Council full of expectations. Obviously, without the approval of the supreme military commander, it is obviously inappropriate to adjust the diplomatic strategy.

After a series of red expansions in early May, there are now almost 40 Red Army commanders and fighters in the hands of Soviet Russia, which can be scattered in the four directions of the east, south, north, and southwest. If pepper is sprinkled in any direction, it will not affect the White Guards. Trotsky has the upper hand, and Trotsky is obviously the one with the highest prestige and status in the entire Red Army. Without his support, it is absolutely impossible for the Soviet Union's central policy to be implemented smoothly.
