Years of the Republic of China 1913

China's declaration of war on the Soviets frightened Stalin a lot. The short Georgian never imagined that the Chinese would have the guts to go to war with him.We must know that compared with Russia, China, an old empire, has fallen from a high altar after being bombarded by the British with cannons since 1840, and has become a delicious meal for the great powers scrambling to carve up.

If it weren't for the fact that China is too big and has a large population, and the reason why Western countries restrain each other, I am afraid that China would have been carved up, but even if it barely maintains a complete country and government, its internal and external troubles have never been Never stopped.Especially in the past few decades, with the collapse of the Manchu Qing Dynasty and the scramble of various factions and forces after the founding of the Republic of China, China is still a third world country in the eyes of outsiders. Although China has gained some benefits as a victorious country since the European War, its national strength It is also gradually increasing, but compared with traditional powers, China is still far behind.

But compared with the Soviet Union, China's current situation is much better than that of Russia. After these years of national constitutionalism, China's national strength has been greatly improved, and the benefits gained from successfully standing in the European war have made the Chinese government far better than the Republic of China. When first built it came strong.

On the other hand, in Russia, after the domestic revolution, the tsar was overthrown, and the Soviet government continued to fall into the quagmire of civil war. Moreover, due to the "Great Famine" in successive years, the productivity of the Soviet-controlled areas dropped sharply. On the one hand, it desperately advocates Bolshevism to hypnotize the people. I am afraid that it will collapse before defeating its opponents on the battlefield of the civil war.

At this time, Stalin's proud plan of "exporting revolution" went bankrupt, and Trotskyites defected on the front line and China declared war on the Soviets one after another, which made Stalin furious with panic.After receiving the news that the Chinese government had officially declared war, Stalin immediately convened a meeting of the Supreme Soviet Council to make military arrangements for the situation of the Chinese National Defense Forces going north.

But who would have thought that the Chinese shouted loudly but have not taken any substantive actions. Apart from receiving intelligence that the Chinese National Defense Forces have mobilized several troops to the Sino-Russian border, there is no sign of a formal war at all.This situation made Stalin a little puzzled.And as time passed, his uneasy heart gradually eased.He judged that the so-called war by the Chinese was nothing more than diplomatic blackmail. In the face of the heroic Red Army, the Chinese National Defense Forces did not dare to fight across the border. The illusion presented by the failure.

As the days passed, as the Chinese continued to hold back, Stalin became more and more certain about this guess.Stalin, who thought he knew the details of the Chinese people, was completely relieved, and ordered a large number of troops that had been transferred to the south, except for some to be stationed at the border.The rest of the troops turned around and headed east, the target of course was the Far East government and the Trotskyist armed forces, which he regarded as a confidant.On the Chinese side, Stalin secretly sent a special envoy to contact the Chinese government through the diplomatic channel of a third country, intending to use this method to obtain a secret agreement with the Chinese side in private, even on the condition that part of the former Chinese territory occupied by Tsarist Russia be returned, hoping that the two countries will continue to maintain their relationship. This situation of war and discord.

After receiving Cao Rulin's report.Fang Zida was right in his arms, and he immediately instructed Cao Rulin to contact the other party in secret, trying to wrangle as much as possible to delay time.The war between the Chinese government and the Soviet government was extremely bizarre from the very beginning. The two sides declared war in name, but in fact, no soldier or soldier had formal contact. Instead, the diplomatic envoys of both sides secretly flirted with each other.

If both Stalin and Fang Zida were confused by each other.That is absolutely impossible.Both of them are very smart politicians, and they each know in their hearts that this kind of private and secret contact is just to get what they need. [

The Chinese need time to prepare, and so does Moscow.It did Stalin no good to add yet another powerful opponent before the Russian imperial orthodox government had been overthrown.It can be said that the two sides have a tacit understanding. As for who will tear up the face first, it depends on how the situation changes.

Temporarily stabilizing the south, Stalin freed up his hands and planned to deal with his opponents in the east first.The defection of Trotsky's Eastward Front Army and the government forces of the Russian Empire's orthodox government were Stalin's confidants, and he wished he could not get rid of this opponent as soon as possible.Due to the Trotsky incident, the Soviet Union experienced a brutal purge, resulting in the lack of a large number of outstanding commanders and fighters in the Red Army. In order to make up for this shortcoming and ensure victory in the civil war, Stalin specially appointed Mikhail Vasili Vich Frunze was the Vice Chairman of the Revolutionary Committee and Deputy People's Commissar of the Navy and Army.

After Frunze served as deputy people's commissar, Stalin handed over command of the Red Army's front line to him.It can be said that Frunze's current status has almost replaced that of Trotsky.compared to Trotsky.Frunze's ability is not inferior, and he is a relatively simple military strategist, and he also has a deep friendship with Stalin, which is the main reason why Stalin dared to put him in this position.

But surprisingly.Stalin’s deputy for Frunze was Kliment Yefremovich Voroshilov. Almost everyone in the Red Army knew that Voroshilov was a close friend of Trotsky. Before defecting, Voroshilov sang praises for the victory in the Battle of Tyumen at the military meeting. It is conceivable that this Trotskyite general should have stayed in prison even if he was not killed in the purge. How could he be entrusted by Stalin? What about the important task?

In fact, the reason is very simple. When the news of Trotsky's defection just came, Voroshilov immediately drew a line with Trotsky and expressed his loyalty to Stalin.Not only that, in order to behave in front of Stalin, especially to eliminate Stalin's "misunderstanding" that he was a member of the Trotskyites, Voroshilov even took the initiative to cooperate with Comrade Dzerzhinsky to "cleanse" the reactionaries in the party. ".

In order to test his loyalty, Stalin agreed to Voroshilov's request after careful consideration, and Voroshilov did not disappoint Stalin. Without hesitation, he swung the butcher knife at his former comrades and comrades-in-arms.

During the entire purge process, Voroshilov brutally suppressed more than Dzerzhinsky. The so-called "Trotskyites" he directly participated in and killed were as many as 5000 people, and thousands of their family members He was tortured to death by various cruel methods, and even enjoyed it.Perhaps, only with the blood and heads of his comrades can Voroshilov wash away his charges and make Stalin truly trust him.

Afterwards, Dzerzhinsky wrote in his diary that Voroshilov is simply a lunatic. He arrests suspects and executes people for no reason at all, because the more people he kills, the more he is The more loyal you are to Stalin.Compared with the crazy Voroshilov, Dzerzhinsky is as kind as a pure angel.

At the cost of nearly [-] lives, Voroshilov finally gained the complete trust of Stalin. This time, in order to prevent the Trotsky incident from happening again on the front line, Stalin released Frunze at the same time. The purpose of this mad dog is to use his hands to firmly control the Red Army troops. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to the starting point to vote and monthly pass.
