Years of the Republic of China 1913

Politicians have no bottom line. When two politicians become rivals, the winner is often the one who is more shameless and has no bottom line.Just like the current Trotsky and Stalin, compared with Stalin, Trotsky's moral integrity is of course higher, which is the main reason why he has a high prestige in the party, government and army.But it is precisely for this reason that the battle between him and Stalin has never gained the upper hand. It was like this before, and it is like this now.

The mutiny of the troops was quickly suppressed after Timoshenko arrived with the guard division. In order to ensure stability, Trotsky mobilized the 61st Infantry Division, and adopted measures such as replacing commanders and fighters at all levels and disrupting the formation of soldiers. A comprehensive set of measures.However, before he could put these measures in place, panic problems appeared one after another in the rest of the troops. Although it was not like the 61st Infantry Division under strict control, the fires everywhere had already caused Trotsky to burn out.

And this phenomenon has become more and more serious with the passage of time. Although the Red Army units that have been continuously drawn from the west have not yet launched an attack on Trotsky's headquarters, the entire army is on the verge of collapse. Dare to imagine what kind of result will be faced once this battle is fought.

By this time, it can be said that the contest between Trotsky and Stalin had already become a loser. Seeing that the situation was getting worse day by day, Trotsky was powerless to do anything about it, so he got Tukhachevsky and others in a state of desperation. The confidants discussed the countermeasures again, but after discussing for a long time, they still couldn't come up with any solution.

"Why don't we go to the Far East..." A teacher said this, and the room was silent as soon as the words fell.If these words were spoken during the riot, I am afraid that Trotsky would be mobbed and attacked before he could open his mouth, and he would even be deprived of his command right on the spot and imprisoned.

But the situation is completely different now. There is almost no way to go. With Moscow's continuous infiltration and attack in all aspects of politics, military affairs and propaganda.Defeat is only a matter of time.The teacher who plucked up the courage to say this sentence can be said to have expressed the thoughts of many people present. Some people have actually thought about this only way out for a long time, but they still dare not speak up.Today, someone finally spoke out for them, and everyone couldn't help feeling uneasy under the surprise, and couldn't help turning their eyes to Trotsky, who was sitting in the main seat.

Trotsky had a bitter taste in his mouth.With his wisdom, he would not fail to understand why his subordinates suggested this.But the proud Trotsky would never die to make him abandon his long-standing beliefs and bow his knees in front of the enemy.But then again, he, Trotsky, could sacrifice for his beliefs, and even give his all, but what about his subordinates?Because of his uprising, these people were all ruined. Their family members who stayed in the Soviet area were either cleaned or imprisoned, but they are still able to accompany and support him. This has achieved the maximum limit of a revolutionist.

In addition to these senior officers, there are hundreds of thousands of soldiers from the former Eastward Front Army.Could Trotsky have to let them be buried with him?Especially some ordinary soldiers, if it was not for their own reasons, they might not be involved in this incident at all. What is in front of them is a road that does not work. These ordinary soldiers will not be spared. For Stalin, the 10 people are just a cold number on his purge list.

Trotsky had thought a lot and thought a lot these days.He knew it was time to make a decision.Once the Red Army in the west launches an attack on itself, it will be too late by then.He didn't regret his own death.The problem is that you must consider the way out for your subordinates and hundreds of thousands of soldiers. It is already your own mistake to bring them on this road, and you must never watch them fall into the abyss again.

"It's time to make a decision..." Trotsky said to himself. This suggestion from his subordinates today is enough to show that the capital to continue to fight Stalin has been completely lost, and it will be too late if he does not arrange a way out.

In just a few minutes, Trotsky seemed to have aged a lot.Seeing that everyone was staring at him eagerly, he stood up with a long sigh and said, "Comrades! The road before us is no longer open. I think everyone knows what consequences we will face if we continue to delay. For everyone Consider, me! Lev Davidovich Blomstein hereby decides to hand over command to Comrade Timoshenko from this moment on...."

"Comrade Trotsky. You..." Timoshenko stood up in astonishment. Before he could speak, Trotsky waved his hand slightly at him, and said with a feigned ease: "Comrade Timoshenko, you He is an excellent commander, and also a clear-headed chief of staff, I believe it is the best choice to hand over the troops to you at this time, and I think you are able to lead everyone to make appropriate decisions."

Trotsky didn't say anything clearly in his words, but everyone understood what he meant.Many people secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time worried about this respected old leader.

"Comrade Trotsky, what about you? What do you do?"

Trotsky was silent for a while, and looked out the window. His eyes seemed to penetrate the whole of Surgut, hovering over the vast Russian land and the majestic Kremlin in Moscow...

"I will leave my country temporarily, but I will never abandon my beliefs and ideals."

"Comrade Trotsky!"

Everyone was startled, none of them thought that Trotsky would decide to go into exile abroad, and hurriedly wanted to persuade him with one voice.

"Needless to say, I've already decided. I'll let Comrade Timoshenko take care of the rest. I'm tired..." Trotsky said in a hoarse voice, then turned and walked out the door of the meeting room.

Everyone looked at the back of Trotsky leaving alone, and felt desolate and lamented in their hearts. Until the moment the door was closed, the corners of everyone's eyes were wet.

Two days later, Surgut’s Trotskyite troops contacted the Imperial Russian government forces in Siberia. In the early morning of the third day, a telegram from the Far East brought instructions to the frontline troops. Several people left Surgut quietly, and then disappeared. In the early morning of the fourth day, the Proto-Trotsky troops headed by Timoshenko quickly withdrew from Surgut before the Red Army in the west had time to react. The railway transported the troops close to the Siberian defense line, while simultaneously destroying all utilities and the railway network in Surgut.

A few hours later, the orthodox government of the Russian Empire announced that the former Red Army's Eastward Front Army declared an uprising, and Timoshenko, headed by the Supreme Commander, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers under his command changed their flags and joined the ranks of the Russian Imperial Government Army.In this regard, Her Majesty, the head of the orthodox government of the Russian Empire, claimed that this was a great victory for the revival of Russia. In the name of the Queen and the head of state, she pardoned all the soldiers of the former Eastern Front Army who had been revolted for their civil war crimes, and promised to give them proper placement and rewards.For high-level generals such as Timoshenko, the queen also bestowed on them the title of nobility and the corresponding rank and status in the Red Army.

When the news of the withdrawal of the Trotskyist troops was received, the Red Army troops in the west had no time to react.On the one hand, they reported the situation to their superiors, and on the other hand, they sent reconnaissance troops to find out the truth.After the order from the superior was issued, the troops were mobilized to march towards Surgut in a hurry, but when they arrived at Surgut, they saw that they were left with a dilapidated and empty city, in the middle of Ironwood. Before Xin Ge evacuated, almost everything that Surgut could move was emptied, and even those that could not be moved were all destroyed by the rear troops. Not to mention people in the whole city, there were not even a few rats left behind. However, the Red Army soldiers who rushed into the city stared dumbfounded at the quiet and ghostly city.

All the facilities and railways in Surgut were destroyed, making it impossible for the Red Army troops to pursue them.And not long after they entered the city, the news about the Trotskyist troops joining the Russian Imperial Army also spread through telegrams and radio broadcasts. After learning about the situation, Stalin lost his temper in the Kremlin and made people arrest the front-line Red Army in one breath. More than a dozen generals in the army were charged with sympathizing with Trotsky and deliberately letting the enemy go.It is conceivable what consequences these generals will face in the near future. Concentration camps or execution grounds may be their ultimate destination.

"Where are the Trotskyites?" Fang Zida got the news a little earlier than Stalin, and it was also in the early hours of the morning.He hurried from home to the office, carefully read the information sent from the Far East, and hurriedly asked Dai Chunfeng.

"The Far East has arranged for him to board the ship. The destination is Europe, maybe Switzerland, maybe Norway..." Zhou Yuanliang was not in Beijing, and Dai Chunfeng, as the person in charge of Japanese and Russian intelligence, reported directly to Fang Zidahui.

As soon as Fang Zida heard it, he understood that this must be a deal between Trotsky and the Far East.But that's fine, a living Trotsky is far more valuable than a dead Trotsky. Although the woman in the Far East has messed up a major event, judging from Trotsky's decision this time, perhaps the situation is still I don't want to be as bad as I expected before.

"This game still has to be played, Trotsky... is ruthless enough!" Fang Zida admired Trotsky at this time, and while maintaining his ideals and beliefs, he also threw a ball to his old opponent Stalin that could explode at any time bomb.Hundreds of thousands of troops have defected to the Far East. This has never happened since the establishment of the Red Army. It is a great blow to Moscow both politically and militarily. How will Stalin respond next? (To be continued..)
