……

At the same time as a series of conspiracies were unfolding around Vladivostok and the future and destiny of the entire Trotskyite Red Army.The offensive and defensive battle in the Xiedanka Mountains seems to have already been decided.The frenzied offensive of the Soviet Red Army also came to an end after exceeding a certain limit.After paying nearly 10 casualties.The combat materials and ammunition hoarded by the Soviet Red Army have basically been exhausted, and the materials transported through a railway of tens of thousands of kilometers are really a drop in the bucket, and it is impossible to support the continuous combat of an army of 50.Budyonny looked painfully at the front line of Shedanka Mountain, who had sacrificed too much in front of him.Finally the order to shrink was issued.According to Stalin's order, this army, which has been fighting hard for several months, will shrink to the north of Ussuriysk to build a line of defense, waiting for reinforcements and supplies to arrive from the western part of the Soviet Union.At least this time Stalin was not so stubborn as to ask the army to exhaust all its energy on the enemy's Shedanka line of defense, otherwise what awaited them would be a rout rather than an orderly retreat!

On September 1932, 9, six days after the start of the Battle of Shedanka, Budyonny, the commander of the Far Eastern Front of the Soviet Workers' and Peasants' Red Army, finally issued an order to withdraw the entire front of the Far Eastern Front.The Soviet Red Army was unwilling to shrink one by one.Leaving behind the battlefield that was turned into a Shura field, and thousands of rotting and smelly corpses, they retreated northward.

And Lin Yurong stood on a high ground, holding up a telescope to watch the Soviet Red Army shrink.He will never forget the 66-day bloody battle.This is a big battle where the offensive and defensive sides mobilized a total of more than 80 people!At least 10 people were lost in this battle, and about the same soldiers were seriously injured or missing... Both sides paid a heavy price in the whole battle, but the winner is undoubtedly their own side!Lin Yurong finally put down the binoculars in his hand, and the yellow-skinned or white-skinned officers around him who had experienced the hard battle with him also surrounded him with happy faces.

Lin Yurong let out a long breath, and said to Tang Yao beside him, "Stalin has no strength to launch an attack this year, and we have delayed it for another year...Maybe everything will change next year, right?" After taking a long look at Tang Yao, he put down the binoculars, turned around and walked towards his headquarters.

Looking at the devastated battlefield, Tang Yao smiled wryly, and said to herself in an inaudible voice: "Maybe I will be some kind of Marquis by next year? In this world, anything can happen."

Chapter 0668 preparations (seven) assassination

A few people dressed in shabby civilian clothes stood on a small hill next to the Trans-Siberian Railway, carefully scanning everything around them with military binoculars that absolutely did not belong to ordinary people.The black body of the Trans-Siberian Railway meanders under them. A small railway bridge spans a not-so-wide river valley, and in the distance is a wilderness covered with weeds.A locomotive appeared in the sky with long black smoke.This is the riverside area of ​​the Far East of the Soviet Union, near Ussuriysk, which has just experienced a thrilling war.

"This is called Nikovsky Village. It is located right in the middle of the Shedanka Valley to Ussuriysk, and there is a certain distance from the two garrisons. And it is the First Army under our control that is responsible for patrolling this area. The headquarters... blowing up the railway bridge, estimated by the engineers, required 150 kilograms of yellow explosives, enough to kill the target person! In addition, about one battalion of commandos can be ambushed in the small woods on both sides of the railway. However This commando must be provided by Moscow, and we cannot be responsible for their security!" It was a rather young-looking figure who spoke.From his completely oriental face and Northeast dialect, we can know that this is a Chinese officer in the Trotskyite Red Army.He said that he accompanied several important and mysterious figures here to observe the terrain.Among the people around him, the only one he knew was Tang Yao, commander of the Trotskyist Far East Front Army and head of the First Army.He didn't know the other two Europeans and one Chinese, but looking at Commander Tang's respectful attitude towards them, he could tell that the status of these three people was not low!

"Mr. Bie. The target person will take a train to Ussuriysk for inspection on October [-], and will have talks with Comrade Wang Zhongyi, who is already sitting there, to discuss plans for further counterattacks. The exact time is unclear. And his train There will definitely be a large number of guards on guard. So I hope you can arrange elite assault troops to carry out sniping after the target person has escaped a lesson!"

This Mr. Bie was Berzin, the intelligence chief of the Soviet Red Army. He glanced at the young Chinese officer beside him with a half-smile.This officer is said to be a division commander of the Trotskyite Red Army, and he was sent to be in charge of this operation, which proved that Wang Zhongyi trusted him very much.Such a person doesn't care about the assassination of Trotsky. It seems that these Chinese Trotskyist Red Army really don't have much faith... How can an army without faith be the opponent of the great Soviet Red Army?He smiled and patted the shoulder of the indifferent teacher.Continue to focus on the terrain.To reverse the unfavorable situation in the Far East in one fell swoop and end this damn civil war as soon as possible, it is necessary to create enough chaos within the Trotskyites, and it is best to eradicate their leader Trotsky in one fell swoop!As long as Trotsky is eradicated, it is impossible for Wang Zhongyi to command the rebels composed of Soviets, relying on his 10,000+ Chinese bandits... At most ten days, Budyonny's 50 troops can kill all the way Into Vladivostok.

The suggestion he gave to Stalin naturally did not actually lease the Soviet territory to foreign warlords, but used deception to convince Wang Zhongyi that Moscow was really willing to appease him, a foreign warlord!Originally, he had been worried that Wang Zhongyi would not be fooled by this, but fortunately, the two kings in Vladivostok had long been in the same bed, and they were probably thinking about annexing each other's men and horses, so that they could become real kings. Lord of the city, right?These Chinese and Jews always have too many small calculations, and never know how to unite.Even in China right now, isn't it the same?

Looking at Gu Shunzhang, the head of the Special Section of the Communist Party of China who accompanied him to observe the terrain, Berzin had a smile of unknown meaning on his face.

……

Almost at the same time, in the observation post on a small hill outside Ussuriysk, a pair of brothers with different surnames who had not seen each other for a long time were standing side by side, holding up binoculars to observe the opposite Soviet Red Army defense line.One of them is the warlord Wang Zhongyi who caused the Far East to turn upside down, and the other is Lieutenant General Wu Ziliang, director of the Military Intelligence Bureau of the National Revolutionary Army.Wu Ziliang threw down the binoculars in his hand, and said to Wang Zhongyi, who was still watching silently, "Brother Zhongyi, the story of you showing your power outside the territory and defeating Stalin's Soviet Red Army has long been made into a drama in China." It's over... Sigh, everyone thinks it's a pity that such an elite army actually went abroad! It's fine if they can break new ground and lay down a piece of land. What a pity!"

Wang Zhongyi had long been mentally prepared for the oblique persuasion of his brother who had been separated for many years.He calmly put down the binoculars in his hand.He told Lin Yurong who was behind him: "Put the Russian divisions on the front line, and all our troops must be ready to move out immediately. As soon as we receive the order, we must move back to the Xiedanka line of defense as soon as possible. In addition, the artillery unit and supplies must be secretly transferred to the Xiedanka defense line before October [-]." Seeing Lin Yurong lead the order away, he patted Wu Ziliang on the shoulder: "Chonglou. Go, go out and hang around."

The two got out of the command post, and because they were on the front line, the air outside was tinged with the smell of gunpowder.Wu Ziliang, who had always been pampered, frowned slightly, but Wang Zhongyi, who was already used to the battlefield, suddenly felt refreshed.Wu Ziliang didn't take a few steps, and suddenly frowned again and said, "Brother Zhongyi, it seems that you don't believe in Stalin either, so why do you want to help him eradicate Trotsky? It's better to stop the plan, anyway, nothing happened yet .” He looked at Wang Zhongyi with burning eyes, as if he was waiting for the approval of his sworn brother.

But Wang Zhongyi shook his head silently, and sighed in a low voice against the sun: "Chonglou, Luo Fuwen must not have asked you to say these words, right? My third brother won't care about the 20-[-] brothers here. Life and death, there is only one world empire in his heart, and there is nothing else that cannot be sacrificed. However, he should be very clear about what kind of person I am... The first to attack is the strong, and the second is to suffer! He knows my temper , so I will not send you to persuade. But... why did you come all the way? It seems that the third brother Fuwen has something to tell you personally? If so, you can say it quickly. "

Hearing Wang Zhongyi's words, Wu Ziliang nodded inwardly. His eldest brother was indeed not a simple character, but he admired Luo Yaoguo's vision even more.He sighed softly, and said slowly: "Brother, what the third brother means is that if you must eradicate Trotsky, you must not take refuge in Stalin, that person is absolutely unreliable! The third brother has already arranged for you There is a way out... Support the Russian Empress Anastasia and restore the Romanov Dynasty in Vladivostok, then China, Japan, Germany, and Poland can all send intervention troops to Vladivostok! And White Russia all over the world will also You will join Anastasia's command, so you don't have to worry about having no cannon fodder to consume." Speaking of which, he seemed to have thought of something suddenly, and a trace of surprise slid across his face.

"It's another murderer with a borrowed knife." Wang Zhongyi showed a trace of disdain on his face, and said coldly: "My third brother is best at killing people with a borrowed knife... Make a Russian empress, and earn all the white Russia scattered all over the world to Vladivostok Come to be cannon fodder! In five or six years, three to five million people will die, and then the essence of Belarus will be exhausted. The troubles in the future will be much smaller... Fifth brother, am I right?"

Wu Ziliang nodded silently.

Wang Zhongyi said again: "Let's test Stalin. If his army launches an attack on Ussuriysk after the successful assassination on October [-], then I will meet the Russian Empress, or... I have Vladivostok and Shuang Chengzi will be content."

……

as a victim of this conspiracy.Comrade Trotsky also has a considerable number of supporters and troops in the Far East.He is also a proven revolutionary and terrorist, with a natural instinct for all kinds of intrigue and danger.However, there is one thing that is quite unfavorable for him to discover the conspiracy in advance, that is, the Trotskyite Cheka organization has not been established for a long time.Due to the notoriety of the Soviet Union's suppression of counter-revolutionaries, Wang Zhongyi had an excuse to oppose Trotsky's establishment of a spy organization.Without the powerful Cheka fighters, although Trotsky had already sensed the danger, he did not know the core secrets of the conspiracy, but only heard some rumors.Leon Trotsky, Rakovsky, Slyapinsk and others also repeatedly reminded him to pay attention to his own safety and to strengthen the control of Vladivostok with all his strength.It is best not to leave Vladivostok, a city that is protected by layers, and his supporters in Vladivostok.However, the revolutionary leader only smiled and agreed to strengthen the security forces around him, but he did not refuse the request of the Revolutionary Military Council to invite him to Ussuriysk for inspection!It didn't even stop the non-stop inspection work in Vladivostok, Nakhodka and other places around Vladivostok.In this way, the time moved toward October [-]th.

"Rakovsky, why are you worried about my safety? You must know that my guards are the tightest in the entire Brett. No matter where I go, there is a whole battalion of young men guarding them. And this train is also passing by. specially modified." Trotsky patted Rakovsky on the shoulder who came to see him off, and explained a few more words.A train specially prepared for him was already fired and ready to go.This train was prepared by Wang Zhongyi for him.Bulletproof steel plates were added to the carriage Trotsky was riding in, and there were bulletproof carriage guards equipped with small cannons and machine guns at the front and rear.And it was only a short distance of less than a hundred kilometers, and there were thunderous exchanges of troops.The revolutionary leader is still relatively assured of his own safety.Besides, Ussuriysk is really a must. His army has won such a big victory, how can he, as a leader, not even look at it?

As for Wang Zhongyi's possible harm, he is also a little wary, but he still thinks that this step has not yet been reached, especially after the victory in the Battle of Shedanka, he feels that his hope of entering the Kremlin has increased a lot, so he and Wang Zhongyi There seems to be a common interest again.

Under the domination of such a mentality, Trotsky waved his arms vigorously at the crowd who saw him off at the station, and got on the train with a happy face.The whistle sounded for a long time, and the train drove away at a high speed, and disappeared from everyone's sight in a blink of an eye.

After leaving the city of Vladivostok, the train Trotsky was on continued northward quickly, heading for Ussuriysk, which was at the forefront of the civil war in the Far East.But at this time, no one thought that this train would never reach its destination, and its focus could only be the railway bridge outside the village of Nikovsky, about [-] kilometers south of Ussuriysk!

At 1932:10 pm on October 11, [-], when the train finally appeared in front of Sorge and others on the hillside, history seemed to freeze for a few seconds at this moment.At last the train climbed the little railway bridge.Comrade Sorge showed a resolute expression on his face, and shouted an order that pushed the Soviet Union into a deeper abyss: "Detonate!"

A huge explosion rose above the railway bridge outside Nikovsky Village, and the orange flames illuminated the surrounding northeast land into blood.Mushroom clouds rolled up in the sky.Sand, stones, rails, steel bars, cement, train locomotives, carriages, and human flesh and blood were all thrown up.All the way to the sky.The air wave of the explosion swept across a radius of several hundred meters.The huge vibration made the entire rail jump upwards.After the explosion, the train on which Trotsky and others were riding had disappeared.

……

And at the same time, on October 1932, 10.Shanghai, Terrastor Road, Debek Gardens.We also welcomed an important guest.

This private garden villa belonging to French lawyer Di Baker is probably one of the most luxurious private residences in Shanghai.The whole building was designed and constructed in imitation of the French Louis XIV palace architecture, and it is a French court-style garden main house in the Renaissance style.It is said that the main building materials of this villa were all shipped from France, and the furniture inside was also made in France.

During this time, the villa was suddenly surrounded by a large number of Kuomintang military and police stations, and the entire Terrasto Road was also strictly guarded. Anyone who entered or exited had to check their pass.However, the foreign nationals and Chinese rich people living here have no complaints about the sudden inconvenience, because a black emperor flag symbolizing the Romanov dynasty is flying high above the main building of the Dibek Garden Villa. Castle-style conical roof.Anyone in the know already knows that a future Empress of the Russian Empire now lives in this luxurious villa!

Grand Duchess Anastasia took a Lufthansa charter flight in early October and flew [-] kilometers from Paris, France to Shanghai. She was accompanied by Alexander the Great, cousin of Nicholas II. , and the husband of the Grand Duchess, American Anderson and others.After arriving in Shanghai, the Grand Duchess and her party were arranged by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Nationalist Government to live in the Dibek Garden, waiting to meet with important figures of the Nationalist Government to discuss the conditions for supporting the Grand Duchess to become the Empress.

On October [-]th, after ten days of waiting, the Chinese Marshal Luo Yaoguo, who held the future of the Romanov dynasty in his hands, finally visited Dibek Garden, accompanied by the British and French ambassadors to China.The meeting place is in an elegant and gorgeous hall on the first floor of the villa.The floor in the hall is paved with marble, and the surrounding walls are surrounded by teak wood walls, which are also inlaid with huge colorful ceramic murals.A giant crystal chandelier is installed on the top of the hall, making the walls glow at night.

The hall was set up like a dinner party, and several well-crafted long French tables were filled with various exquisite dishes, some Chinese-style snacks and snacks, as well as a variety of fine wines and drinks, for people to enjoy casually. access.A band played music with a strong Russian color, and the entire banquet hall was brightly lit.A large group of well-dressed Europeans stood there gracefully, chatting and laughing with each other in low voices, and they were obviously well-bred nobles.

Luo Yaoguo appeared in the hall with Lu Xiaobei on his arm. Luo Yaoguo was wearing a marshal's uniform, his military belt was neat, and he was wearing a blue sky and white sun medal. Lu Xiaobei was wearing a red cheongsam, with a cute doll-like face always wearing With a sweet smile, seeing the room full of luxuriously dressed foreigners with elegant hands, they widened their big black and white eyes, and looked at everything curiously, as if they wanted to find the legendary little princess of the tsar.

"Fuwen, this is Grand Duchess Anastasia—this is Marshal Luo Fuwen, the most outstanding military strategist in China." Natalie, who had just arrived in Shanghai for a few days, held a very dignified, but slightly A fat woman appeared in front of Luo Yaoguo.

This woman was wearing a delicate and gorgeous crimson long dress, revealing milk-white and smooth breasts and half of the iconic round Russian breasts. Although this size was one size smaller than Natalie, it was still quite impressive.

"Hello Marshal, it's an honor to meet you." The Grand Duchess Anastasia, who speaks fluent English, looked very refined and well-bred, and she knew at first sight that she was from a real noble family. She smiled slightly He pulled up the hem of his skirt and bowed, then stretched out his right hand with white gauze glove.

Luo Yaoguo took advantage of the opportunity to take her right hand, put it on his lips, and kissed it: "I am honored to meet you too, Your Majesty the Grand Duchess, welcome to China, and hope that you can enjoy every day in China." hapiness."

Anastasia nodded in greeting and said with a smile: "I also hope to receive Your Excellency the Marshal on Russian soil one day. I believe that your Excellency will fall in love with Russia."

Luo Yaoguo smiled faintly: "I believe this day will come soon. In fact, I came here today to discuss this matter with Your Excellency the Grand Duchess."

Chapter 0669 Preparations for War ([-]) Restoration

On the afternoon of October 1932, [-], the train on which Soviet revolutionary leader Trotsky was traveling was blown up by unknown terrorists!Trotsky and his son were killed on the spot.With the deaths of these two men, the Soviet Civil War entered a new phase.

"Trotsky is dead!" Stalin was awakened from his sleep, and jumped up from the sofa in his office.Watching Menzhinski yelling at the open door of the office with a full face of excitement.These days, Menzhinsky, as the head of the State Political Security Bureau, has been participating in this conspiracy in the Far East.As for the specific date of action, Berzin had also notified him and Stalin by secret telegram.Therefore, today Stalin was waiting in his office for the news of the successful assassination.After listening to Menzhinsky's report, Stalin woke up from his stupor at once.This old enemy is finally dead!The Soviet Civil War should also be over soon!Next, we can finally speed up the pace of construction in order to deal with the upcoming invasion of the three imperialist countries of China, Germany and Poland.

He asked calmly, "Is the news reliable?" Menzhinsky lowered his voice, "It was a secret telegram sent by Comrade Berzin himself, and news also came from our inside line in Vladivostok that a large number of Chinese The Trotsky bandits suddenly marched into the city and surrounded the barracks of Trotsky's direct troops! The situation in the Far East has really turned around! Comrade Stalin, we are finally about to win! This victory was only achieved under your wise leadership! !"

"Victory? This is just the beginning. The following war will be very cruel. The imperialists will never give up the opportunity to intervene in the Soviet Union's civil war." Stalin hit the over-excited Menzhinsky.Sitting up from the sofa, he issued an order: "Let Voroshilov, Tukhachevsky, and Blyukher all come to the Kremlin for a meeting. In addition, the Political Security Bureau must do its best to control the situation in Vladivostok. The development of the situation. Command Comrade Berzin, let him evacuate immediately...Command Budyonny, start the attack now!"

Following Stalin's order, there were as many as 3 artillery pieces on the front line of Ussuriysk, when the sky was twilight on October [-], Vladivostok time.Suddenly there was a bang.Thousands of shells bombarded the Trotskyist Red Army positions that were already in panic.Dozens of the latest four-engine heavy bomber TB-[-] of the Soviet Red Air Force also appeared in the sky with fighter jets and escorts, and poured tons of bombs on the positions of the Trotskyist Red Army!The Kremlin's order to the Far Eastern Front was unequivocal: "Trotsky has been wiped out! The Trotskyist rebels in the Far East have lost their leader and are about to fall into chaos. Before a new internal leader emerges, and before the international imperialist intervention forces reach Vladivostok, firmly control this eastern fortress in the hands of the Soviet regime!" When the order was issued to the Far Eastern Front Army, Budyonny naturally wanted to [-]% to execute!The artillery bombarded across the board, and the shells hit the opposite position as if they didn't want money.The infantry also launched a full-line attack, and the Soviets' best tactics of sea of ​​fire and sea of ​​people were brought into full play at this moment!The Ussuriysk defense line of the Trotskyite army is in a hurry.

……

And at this moment in the living room of Diebeck Garden in Shanghai, Luo Yaoguo, the British ambassador Lampson, the French ambassador Henrique, an old Russian man with a majestic appearance and a neatly trimmed French mustache, Alexander the Great, and another face Mr. Anderson, a handsome middle-aged man with sharp curves, and Aoi Shigemitsu, the charge d'affaires of Japan, sat side by side.Several people held cups of coffee and drank lightly there, no one said a word, except for Luo Yaoguo, the anxiety on the faces of the others could not be concealed, as if they were waiting for some news.

At this time, there was a sound of hurried footsteps outside the door, and the door of the living room was gently pushed open. Natalie, who also looked tired, appeared at the door, holding a yellow copy newspaper in her hand.

"Gentlemen, Ussuriysk is being attacked by Stalin's army!" Natalie bowed slightly to the people in the room after telling the news, then turned and left.

Luo Yaoguo put down the small coffee cup in his hand and said with a smile: "Gentlemen, it seems that Comrade Stalin does not intend to forgive those sinners in Vladivostok." As he spoke, he glanced at the few people in the room, and finally settled his gaze on Duke Alexander His face: "Your Majesty, the current situation is changing rapidly, and we cannot afford to waste any more time. The Grand Duchess must arrive in Vladivostok as soon as possible and be crowned as the Empress of Russia there. Stabilize the situation there."

A trace of pain flashed in Alexander's deep eyes. Obviously, he was not very good at hiding his feelings, and now he has a full understanding of the pain that the restoration of the dynasty will bring to Russia.

Luo Yaoguo nodded and said, "Perhaps you don't want the Russian people to suffer too much from this change, but I hope you can realize that if the Romanov family hadn't participated in the struggle to overthrow the Bolsheviks, the Russian people would have suffered a lot. There will only be more suffering!"

Duke Alexander's old face flushed slightly, and he showed an embarrassed smile. The keen observation of the Chinese marshal in front of him made him feel a little surprised, as if he could understand the true feelings deep in his heart.

The Grand Duke smiled wryly and said: "No, no, no, Honorable Marshal, our Romanov family has a responsibility to the Russian people, and we don't want them to bear more pain, but now let Her Royal Highness be in Fukuoka. Is the coronation of Radivostok a little too early? If I want to overthrow the Bolsheviks, I can't start from the Far East?"

Luo Yaoguo said with a smile: "Your Majesty, do you think the struggle of the Romanov dynasty in Vladivostok is meaningless? But I don't think so. Although your strength is weak and even insignificant, it does not mean that you You can do nothing! Let someone else fight for you. Then why should we restore the Romanov dynasty?"
