Republic of China game

Hundreds of millions of French currency is almost equivalent to the CCP's expenditure for several years!Before China became a "semi-imperial and semi-colonial" such a huge sum of money, it may not be easy for the entire country's finances to come out.And a little more than one state in India, in less than three months, actually raised a huge sum of several hundred million (fiat currency)!The wealth of this country is beyond imagination!Moreover, the gap between the rich and the poor and the degree of class oppression are equally astonishing, and they are simply the natural soil for revolution... If the revolution can win first in India, relying on India's wealth and the hard-working dedication of the Indian people, it will take less than 10 years to achieve socialism. I'm afraid it can be built on this piece of land.

"Vice-Chairman Mao! Vice-Chairman Mao!" A voice with a Sichuan accent came from the door. Mao Zedong turned around and saw Liu Bocheng and Yang S. Kun appeared at the open door of the office at some point. asthma.

"The Battle of Sindh has broken out!" Yang Skun, deputy head of the Advisory Group of the Eastern Bureau of the Communist International, strode over and handed the telegram to Mao Zedong. He nodded and said with a smile: "Okay! Okay! It seems that the deployment of the central government has been successful."

This is a telegram from the Comintern Headquarters forwarded by the Eastern Bureau of the Comintern, announcing the latest situation of the just-started Sindh Campaign.The battle first took place in India and the Khaerpur area in the middle reaches. The Indo River Front Army under the command of Budyonny and Voroshilov nearly 15 (what did the Comintern’s telegram say) the army left the Khuzdar Mountains and entered the Indu River In the valley, a division of the Indian puppet army was surrounded in a small town named Gembaur, attracting another Indian puppet army division in Mehrabpur to come for reinforcements. The Red Army's First Guards Division, Lenin Division and Red Artillery Division One set up an ambush halfway, defeated the Indian division of more than 1 people, captured more than 3000 Indian officers and soldiers, 21 British advisers, seized more than 100 rifles, more than 17 machine guns, [-] mortars, [-] There are eight pound field guns, and countless ammunition and supplies.

"Victory in the first battle! It seems that the Soviet Red Army can still fight!" Mao Zedong slapped his hands and laughed.As long as Stalin's army of more than 30 troops (the CCP does not know the exact number of the Soviet Red Army) can open up the situation in western India, whether it is to establish a revolutionary base or break through the Indu River to march to New Delhi, it will greatly reduce the pressure on the South Asian Army of the Comintern.

"Yes," Liu Bocheng nodded in agreement. "And the combat effectiveness of the Indian puppet army seems to have not improved much compared to the previous British and Indian troops. Vice Chairman Mao, do you think we should also launch a campaign to cooperate with the military operations of the Soviet Red Army?"

Mao Zedong thought for a while and said, "Now how many troops are there in the Indian puppet army in Jharkhand, Chhattispur, and West Bengal?"

“有30万中央军、40万地方军，一共70万军队！其中有一个印度第3军约5万人的中央军留守在西孟加拉邦首府加尔各答；还有约5万人的地方部队负责加尔克汉德邦、恰蒂斯尔邦、西孟加拉邦地方治安；剩下的60万人驻守着一条上千公里的防线同我们对峙。”说到这里，刘伯承指了指大操场上的128辆装甲车道：“毛副主席，有这些装甲车在，斯利姆布置的上千公里防线根本就不堪一击！”

"How is the expansion of the troops?" Mao Zedong asked again about the expansion of the South Asian Army.According to the plan of the CCP and the Eastern Bureau, the South Asian Army will be composed of Chinese internationalist fighters, supplemented by a large number of Indian indigenous officers and soldiers, and finally expanded into a large armed force capable of liberating the entire South Asian subcontinent.However, after coming to India, the expansion plan of the South Asian Army did not go as smoothly as expected.

"There are already 25 poor and lower-middle peasants in India who have joined the army." Liu Bocheng frowned slightly, "But these people are difficult to train, and they are lazy whenever they get the chance, and... they also like to cheat and play tricks. They are very dishonest and will tell their faces Do one thing behind the scenes. These people seem to support the revolution, but they may not be very reliable when they actually go to the battlefield.”

Chapter 0895 Anti-encirclement and Long March ([-]) Strategies of master strategists

After listening to Liu Bocheng's introduction, Mao Zedong was a little disappointed, but he quickly recovered, and said lightly: "It doesn't matter, everything has a process. These poor and lower-middle peasants in India have been poisoned by Brahman religion for 4000 years. How can they survive in just two years?" You will wake up in three months. For them, you must be patient, and tell comrades that when dealing with Indian comrades, you must never treat yourself as a Laozi party, and treat them as friends and brothers, understand?"

"Understood, we must treat Indian comrades as brothers." Liu Bocheng frowned and nodded. In fact, the South Asian Army had already adopted the method Mao Zedong said, but with little effect.How can a nation of "old fritters" with a history older than the Chinese nation be so easy to fool?Moreover, this nation has been ruled by foreign nations for thousands of years (the three castes of Brahman, Kshatriya and Vaishya are actually foreign Aryan races), and they have long learned to deal with various conquerors.

Seeing Liu Bocheng's embarrassed expression, Mao Zedong also guessed the general idea. He sighed lightly, and said: "Of course, necessary coercive measures can still be taken! We Communists are people who are polite before soldiers, not unprincipled accommodation. Connivance. Now that the war is imminent, we can’t take it easy to reason with them.” Having said this, he frowned slightly, “Also, after all, the Indian revolution must be dominated by Indian comrades, and our Chinese internationalism Soldiers are only here to help, and you can't take the lead from others, do you understand?"

Liu Bocheng was stunned for a while, and for a moment he didn't understand Mao Zedong's meaning, so he turned his head and looked at Yang Sikun.Yang S. Kun smiled and said: "Yes! Some Indian comrades still have high revolutionary enthusiasm and insist on being the first to charge. We still have to encourage such things. I think it can be done in every infantry regiment. One or two Indian battalions will be attached to them, specially used to charge into battle... At the same time, it will also allow the best Indian revolutionaries to show their talents as soon as possible."

"I understand." Liu Bocheng nodded with a smile. He paused and said, "Vice Chairman Mao, is the South Asian Army of the Communist International going to launch a campaign to cooperate with the Soviet Red Army?"

Mao Zedong nodded, looked at Liu Bocheng and said, "Of course we have to take action. B Cheng, where do you think we should attack? You, Ye Ting, and Comrade Xiang Ying came to India earlier than me, and you must be more familiar with the situation than I am. Where should we develop next step, you should be brothers, right?"

Liu Bocheng nodded lightly, and admitted Mao Zedong's guess. He smiled and said: "Vice Chairman, before you came to India to guide our work, the General Front Committee of the South Asian Army did contemplate several combat plans, among which was to capture the east and west Bengal states. The plan of establishing revolutionary bases is the most suitable for the present situation."

"Oh, tell me why?"

"The original plan of our South Asian Army was to establish our first base in East and West Bengal, where the economy is more developed than Odisha. Kolkata, the capital of West Bengal, is one of the largest cities in India and was once the British capital. The residence of the Governor. And due to the influence of Islam, Hinduism and the caste system are relatively weak, which is conducive to our land revolution. It’s just that the plan can’t keep up with the changes. The Wehrmacht aircraft carrier that was supposed to provide us with air support was transferred to the Indian Ocean to fight against the British Navy fleet That’s why we had no choice but to establish a base in Odisha. Now the main force of the Indian puppet army is fighting against the Soviet Red Army in the west, and the other is forming a long snake formation outside our base. East and West Bengal are relatively empty , it is a good opportunity for us to go eastward and liberate the people of Bangladesh."

Liu Bocheng spoke very slowly. There are still some differences among the leadership of the South Asian Army on the plan he is proposing now.Because this plan is likely to need to abandon the existing base areas, at least the base areas in southern Odisha and eastern Chhattisgarh.Moreover, East and West Bengal are farther away from New Delhi, the capital of India, than Odisha, which is very detrimental to the rapid liberation of the whole of India.After finishing speaking, Liu Bocheng looked at Mao Zedong.Mao Zedong had already lit a cigarette at this time and was smoking slowly.

Mao Zedong nodded slightly, seeming to agree with Liu Bocheng's opinion. He walked to the Indian military map hanging on the wall and looked at it for a while, as if talking to himself: "I just don't know if Stalin can succeed in the West Indies." No, it should be whether the Chinese imperialists will allow him to settle in the West India region!" Mao Zedong's thinking was obviously leaping, and he turned around and said to Yang S. Kun: "Give Comrade Enlai electricity, let He managed to find out Luo Yaoguo's vision for Stalin and Northwest India. In addition, please invite Xiang Ying, Ye Ting, Peng Dehuai, Liu Shaoqi, Chen Yi and other comrades to come to me, and we will discuss the next development direction of the South Asian Army."

Mao Zedong is a master strategist within the CCP. He doesn’t care too much about specific tactics. Today, he is anxious that the main person in charge of the South Asian Army of the Communist International is also the strategic layout of the entire South Asian revolution. First determine the general direction, and then how to fight it. Ye Ting , Liu Bocheng and other military experts to find a way.

"Yes." Yang S Kun turned and left after receiving the instruction.Only Liu Bocheng and Mao Zedong were left in the office. Liu Bocheng was a little curious about Mao Zedong's last words, so he couldn't help asking: "Vice Chairman, is our development direction related to Stalin's ability to open up bases in Northwest India? ?”

"Of course," Mao Zedong took another puff of his cigarette, exhaling a circle of white smoke, "not only is it related, but it is also very important! If Stalin can gain a firm foothold in northwestern India, then he will definitely seek to seize New Delhi next. Controlling the central government in India is likely to support another Communist Party of India. In that case, we have to consider speeding up the pace of seizing the central government in India! It is worthwhile to suffer a little more casualties (referring to Chinese internationalist fighters) On the contrary, we should be steady and steady, first seize the East and West Bengal, and the Assam region, and establish the Socialist Republic of Bangladesh and the Socialist Republic of Assam there, plus the Socialist Republic of Orissa here, Then we will have a base area in the eastern part of South Asia that is sufficient to establish an independent country... If it is not possible, we will be able to compete with New Delhi!"

In fact, Mao Zedong did not tell Liu Bocheng his true thoughts.In fact, he did not expect that Luo Yaoguo had the idea of ​​splitting Northwest India to form the Republic of Pakistan, so he took Stalin's foothold in Northwest India as a sign to test whether Luo Yaoguo supported the New Delhi authorities in India.The next move of the CCP and the South Asian Army of the Comintern must also take this factor into full consideration.

If the Chinese National Defense Forces intervened in the war after Stalin defeated the Indian puppet army, it would show that it still supported the Gandhi authorities!In this case, the CCP should step back and separate the northeastern region of India, and even consider establishing an independent socialist alliance country in Bangladesh, Assam, Bhutan, Sikkim, and Nepal!As long as Luo Yaoguo does not want to see an independent and powerful India, he will definitely support this independent country to confront New Delhi.

Conversely, if the Chinese Nationalist government ignored Stalin's establishment of bases in India, it meant that they had no intention of supporting the New Delhi authorities.Then the CCP can use the name of competing with Stalin for India to ask the National Government to provide more help, so that the CCP’s Comintern South Asian Army can enter New Delhi before Stalin’s Red Army and occupy the central power in India...Of course, after occupying the central power in India, The CCP can’t drive Stalin to death, but let him stay in northwest India, and form a situation of “differing against courtesy” with the CCP... This is called self-respect.

……

When Zhou Enlai received a telegram from Mao Zedong in the name of the Advisory Group of the Eastern Bureau of the Comintern in India, the "Singapore Peace Conference" was over.On the day when Stalin's Red Army crossed Balochistan and arrived in Khuzdar, Nehru flew back to New Delhi in a hurry, and then the general secretary of the Communist Party of India, Lu Yi, also returned to Bhubaneswar, but Zhou Enlai still insisted. Stay in Singapore and discuss with Luo Yaoguo some arrangements for the Japanese and Korean revolutions.After a few days of contact with Luo Yaoguo, Zhou Enlai felt that the other party was probably plotting an invasion conspiracy against the Japanese Empire!Moreover, Luo Yaoguo's stay in Singapore was obviously not just to discuss North Korea and Japan issues with him.There should be a bigger plan. The secretaries around Zhou Enlai "accidentally" discovered that the senior generals of the Nanyang Fleet, the Western Fleet, the Nanyang Front Army, and the Australian Front Army of the National Defense Army had secretly appeared in Singapore during this period of time!

In addition, the entire Xinjiapo Fortress was under martial law after Nehru and Lu Yi left.In particular, there are dense port posts around the military port. Anyone who does not hold a special pass issued by the Singapore Fortress Command is not allowed to approach.Obviously, the capital ships of the Nanyang and Western Fleets are secretly gathering in Singapore.

After receiving the telegram from the "Advisory Group in India", Zhou Enlai immediately went to Luo Yaoguo's residence in Zhangyi Naval Base with Xuan Xiafu, Liu Bojian and others from the CCP delegation to request a meeting.But when he arrived, Natalie told him: "Chairman Zhou, the chief executive is in a meeting, please wait in the reception room first."

Zhou Enlai glanced at the two rows of BMW-1937 bulletproof cars parked in the yard, and knew that today's meeting must be extraordinary. It's a pity that the CCP doesn't have many eyeliners in the National Defense Forces, and most of these eyeliners are not important. It is difficult to understand the core secrets in the position of the National Defense Forces. It seems that we still need to strengthen the intelligence work for the National Defense Forces in the future.Thinking of this, he smiled lightly: "When will the meeting end?"

Natalie said: "It will take about two or three hours, and it will be over by dinner time. Otherwise, I will arrange for Chairman Zhou to have dinner with the chief." After she finished speaking, she ordered the orderly to serve a cup of green tea Give it to Zhou Enlai and others, then turn around and leave.

After a while, the door of the living room was pushed open again, and it was Luo Yaoguo's confidant, Zeng Qi, Minister of Colonial Affairs Department of the Nationalist Government, who came in.

Zeng Qi and Zhou Enlai have known each other for more than 20 years. They met in Europe in the 20s. However, due to their different political views, the relationship was not harmonious. The two sides once cooperated to form a coalition government, but after Zhang Zuolin was assassinated, the two parted ways again.Now that the two met again, they just nodded at each other, and got straight to the point without too many pleasantries.

Zeng Qi said indifferently: "The assistant commander asked me to understand the purpose of Mr. Zhou's visit. If it is to purchase arms, as long as the advanced level of weapons is not more advanced than last time, you can directly invite the representative of the Ministry of Armaments to come to Singapore. If it is a matter of Japan or North Korea , then please wait patiently for a while, Mr. Zhou. The assistant commander will come to talk to you in person."

"It's not about the purchase of arms, nor is it about Japan or North Korea." Zhou Enlai picked up the teacup, took a sip of green tea, and said with a smile, "I want to know about the Indian policy of the Nationalist government. Two?"

"India policy?" Zeng Qi adjusted his round glasses, frowned and said, "Then Mr. Zhou, please tell me, what exactly does your party want to know?"

"Now the Soviet Red Army led by Stalin has entered northwest India and is engaged in a decisive battle with the Indian puppet army in the middle reaches of the Indu River. I don't know what attitude Marshal Luo and the national government have on this?" Zhou Enlai said after deliberation. This matter is actually not a big deal. It's just that the CCP's eyeliner in the National Defense Forces just can't get in touch with this level of secrets.

"I see." Zeng Qi smiled and said, "This matter is not a secret, so I can answer it. The National Government's attitude towards Stalin and his so-called Soviet Red Army has always been very clear, that is, opposition! The government also believes that the military operations of Stalin’s Red Army in Persia, Baluchistan and northwestern India are all aggression! Our government has always opposed aggression!” He paused for a while before asking Zhou Enlai: “Your The party must also be opposed to the aggression, right?"

"Of course! Our party is opposed to any form of aggression for any reason!" Zhou Enlai said seriously: "Our party's stand is that all countries, big or small, strong or weak, are equal, coexist peacefully, and do not interfere in each other's internal affairs!" Said Then he suddenly emphasized his tone, "We also hope that the national government will not interfere in India's civil war. India's affairs should be resolved by the Indian people themselves."

"What!?" Zeng Qi was startled when he heard the words, and stared fixedly at Zhou Enlai, "Then what happened to your Communist International South Asian Army?"

Zhou Enlai smiled lightly, "That's not interference in internal affairs, but an alliance of the international proletariat. Besides, we are not the ruling party in China. We are not helping the Communist Party of India in the name of the country, but only helping India in the name of the Eastern Bureau of the Communist International." A proletarian revolution is different in nature from interference in internal affairs."

Zeng Qi raised his eyebrows, and wanted to have a big debate with Zhou Enlai, while Xuan Xiafu quickly changed the subject and said, "Mr. Zeng, are your national defense forces preparing to intervene in the war in northwest India?"

"Hehe, that's a military secret. How could I, the Minister of Colonial Affairs, know?" Zeng Qi chuckled, pointed to the ceiling and said, "Otherwise, I should be attending the meeting up there now, instead of drinking with a few of you here." Tea."

At this time, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps in the corridor outside the door, and then the door of the living room was pushed open by Natalie, and Luo Yaoguo with a tired face appeared at the door.In the past two days, he convened the military chiefs of the Nanyang Fleet, the Western Fleet, the Beiyang Fleet, the Nanyang Front Army, and the Australian Front Army in Singapore, and held secret military meetings for days to discuss the battle plan against Japan!At the same time, it also adjusts its policies toward the United States and Germany and listens to opinions from all sides.Due to the special relationship between China and Germany that has lasted for more than ten years, especially the fact that most of the military generals were trained by German instructors, there are generally pro-German and anti-American sentiments.Many generals even wrote to Luo Yaoguo, proposing to participate in the war against the United States, advocating that China and Germany carve up the world.

Since this kind of pro-German thought is common in the National Defense Forces, Luo Yaoguo can't forcefully suppress it, so he can only persuade him earnestly.Today, Luo Yaoguo also conducted a war game of "destroying the United States" with several senior generals who advocated "uniting Germany against the United States".In order to prove to these "pro-German factions" that participating in the war against the United States does not have much benefit to China, but will cause unprecedented expansion of German power.In fact, the reason is very simple, because the distance between China and the United States is much longer than the distance between the United States and Europe. several times the width of the Atlantic Ocean.Moreover, the shipping capacity that China can control is only 600 million tons, while the total tonnage of merchant ships owned by Germany, Italy, and France is as high as 3000 million tons!If you count the shipping capacity of the UK (excluding Canada), it will be as high as 7500 million tons!That is to say, in the case of seizing control of the sea, the ability of Germany and Italy to deploy military power to the United States will be dozens of times that of China!However, due to the long distance and insufficient shipping capacity, the army forces that China can invest in the war against the United States will be quite limited, so there will not be too many territories that China can win.

Taking into account Japan's factors, it is almost impossible to participate in the war against the United States.After all, the Pacific Ocean is too wide. It is impossible for the Chinese Navy to set off from Shanghai or Taiwan and drift [-] nautical miles in the Pacific Ocean to fight in the Americas. It must borrow Pearl Harbor under the control of Japan as a base!Putting the main force of the entire Chinese navy into a port blocked by Japanese coastal artillery is simply suicide!There will never be any Chinese navy general who would dare to take this risk.

After some war games, even the most pro-German Admiral Ansehua has to admit that before Japan is destroyed, it is impossible for China to participate in the war against the United States, unless the safety of the entire navy is placed on the credibility of Japan above.As for the feasibility of obtaining the Hawaiian Islands through any territorial exchange, after all, the territories that Japan can look at, such as Western Australia, are not given by China.

After the war game was over, Luo Yaoguo suddenly received an urgent call about the battle situation in the northwest of India, so he hurriedly ended the meeting and went downstairs to see Zhou Enlai.

Chapter 0896 anti-encirclement and long march (eleven) Soviet Red Army VS Indian Asan!

"Brother Enlai, you came at a good time. I have something to discuss with you." Luo Yaoguo's face seemed a little dignified. He walked up to Zhou Enlai and shook hands with him, then turned his gaze to Xuan Xiafu and Liu Bojian.

Knowing what Luo Yaoguo meant, Zhou Enlai turned his head and said to the two, "Go back to the station first." So the two looked at each other, got up and left.Seeing the two walking out of the living room, Luo Yaoguo took out a telegram from his military uniform pocket and handed it to Zhou Enlai. "I just received it. Stalin sent about a hundred thousand Soviet Red Army to attack Karachi! The battle was fierce, and the resistance of the Indian army was very tenacious. However, the Soviet Red Army lacked heavy weapons and suffered heavy losses."

After he finished speaking, he found a sofa and sat down. Natalie quickly brought three cups of good green tea, then he exited the door and closed the door of the living room by the way. Only Luo Yaoguo, Zeng Qi and Zhou Enlai were left inside. personal.

"This is a notification from the Indian government army to the expeditionary force. They asked the expeditionary force and the Russian Persian Front to blockade West Balochistan to prevent the remnants of the Soviet Red Army from fleeing back to Persia. It seems that they did defeat Stalin's offensive under the city of Karachi." Luo Yaoguo took a sip of green tea from the teacup, moistened his throat, and said, "I don't know what medicine Stalin took wrongly, so he had to hit his head on a big city with strong fortifications by the Indian army. Didn't we already give him the deployment plan of the Indian army?" Is it? He just needs to sneak through the gaps in the Indian army's defense line, or it can be like the battle of Gember, eat two divisions of the Indian army at once, and accumulate small victories into big victories."

"It's just that the attack on the first day suffered some setbacks." Zhou Enlai had finished reading the telegram at this time, and handed it to Zeng Qi. He said with a faint smile, "Things on the battlefield are changing rapidly. , that is, if Stalin wins a complete victory, your expeditionary force will be able to enter India justifiably."

Luo Yaoguo sneered, "Well, you're right. My original plan was to use Stalin as an excuse to send troops to occupy the middle and lower reaches of the Indu River. If possible, I would also occupy Gujrat and Rajasthan. He intends to establish an independent Palestinian state in the Punjab, Sindh, Kashmir, Gujrat, and Rajasthan regions of the Indu River Basin." Speaking of this, he snorted twice, "I think It is not good to allow a unified India to appear on the South Asian subcontinent, India must be split into several countries, only in this way can we ensure that China’s future hegemony in the East will not be challenged.”

"And your party can also get one or two of these small countries! For example, the Republic of Odisha, the Republic of Bangladesh."

"Brother Fuwen," Zhou Enlai said with no joy or anger on his face, "doesn't this seem to be the same as our original agreement?"
