"Prime Minister, I am humble enough to say that I don't know what I should say"
While Fang Zida was deep in thought, Dai Chunfeng stood aside hesitantly. It took a long time before he mustered up the courage to preach.
Looking up at Dai Chunfeng, Fang Zida said calmly: "Is it related to Russia? If so, it doesn't matter."
A slight expression of surprise flashed across Dai Chunfeng's face, and then he said respectfully: "Yes, Prime Minister. In my humble opinion, the defection of the Trotsky family seems to be an advantage for the orthodox government of the Russian Empire. In fact, the real result is Probably the opposite."
"Ohyou mean?" Fang Zida raised his eyebrows and looked at Dai Chunfeng with interest. He really wanted to hear the insights of this intelligence genius. You must know that hundreds of thousands of Trotskyist troops defected to the Far East government, and Trotsky went into exile alone. This was an extremely serious blow to the Soviet government. This time, Stalin not only lost the elite eastward marching army, but also arrested a large number of grassroots cadres during the purge. Even those who survived were panic-stricken. Under the situation of one and the other, now both in terms of military strength and politics The Far East is better than Moscow, so why doesn¡¯t Dai Chunfeng see it that way?
Dai Chunfeng seemed to have thought deeply about it for a long time. He talked eloquently: "Prime Minister, as the ancients said: a blessing in disguise is a blessing in disguise. Now that the Trotskyists have defected to the Far East, their military strength has greatly increased. In addition, the Trotsky incident has The huge impact within the Soviet Union, perhaps most people think that the Far East has the upper hand. However, I think this is not the case. Let¡¯s look at the Far East first. There are hundreds of thousands of Trotskyist troops who defected to the past. This number It has accounted for nearly half of the current Russian Imperial Government Army. If such a large and combat-effective force merges with the original government army, the result will definitely not be as simple as one plus one equals two."
Hear this. Fang Zida seemed to understand what Dai Chunfeng wanted to say. He nodded slightly, picked up the cigar and lit it, and continued to listen to his statement.
"I have never led a soldier in my humble position, let alone have any experience in the army, but everything in this world can be drawn from one example. The surface is different, but the inner essence is the same. The Far East has gathered such a force, and on the surface It seems that their strength has greatly increased, but in fact they have a time bomb in their arms. No one knows whether or when this bomb will explode! Moreover, it is up to them to continue to control people like Timoshenko and others. Serve as the commander of the original troops? Continue to have military power? No matter which country the head of state will allow, a warlord who can shake or even subvert his status will appear, right? What's more, this warlord and his troops have had a history Although he has a criminal record and is even a life-and-death enemy, he has now taken refuge in him. But he will never be without a sense of preparedness."
"You mean that the Far East government will split up the Trotskyist forces and fully mobilize commanders at all levels to prevent possible accidents?"
"Good regards, Prime Minister!" Dai Chunfeng flattered him and nodded repeatedly: "It is certain to transfer the original commander and split and reorganize the army. Otherwise, everyone will be afraid if this army remains as it is. But if you do this, it will inevitably It will lead to many problems, such as the instability of the troops, the ideological changes of ordinary soldiers, the placement of generals and the conflicts between the original Far East government system Even if the Far East government can solve these problems, it will definitely cause problems within a period of time. The decline in overall military strength. If this happened at the end of the war, it might not be a big problem, but now the civil war in Russia is still going on. It is a big problem if you look at it this way."
Fang Zida secretly praised when he heard this. Dai Chunfeng is Dai Chunfeng, and his eyes are indeed vicious. He can see these things very clearly that others cannot understand. Fortunately, he is at this time when the whole world is cheering for the end of the Soviet Union. Still so clear-headed.
Seeing Fang Zida nodding slightly, Dai Chunfeng became more excited and spoke more fluently. He continued: "After talking about the Far East, let's look at Moscow. Up to now, the battle between Stalin and Trotsky has already decided the winner, and the previous cleaning work has also had the effect of killing the chicken to show the monkey. And , due to the Trotskyist armed forces defecting to the Far East government and Trotsky's departure, Stalin's propaganda was actually confirmed. In this way, there will be a trend of public opinion criticizing Trotsky within the Soviet Union and fully turning to Stalin. The centrists who were previously vacillating between the two factions and watching the fight between the two factions will also have to support Stalin for this reason. I have done research on the Soviet Red Army. This army mainly relies on spirit and belief, and actual command. It is not as valued as the traditional regular armed forces. What¡¯s more, the Russians have basically relied on brute force to fight wars from ancient times to the present. There are only a few famous generals in history, so a large number of grassroots cadres have been caused during the purge process. The weakness of the Soviet government's combat effectiveness is not a big deal. As long as they still have advantages in the occupied areas, population, industry, agriculture, etc., it only takes??Short time. Furthermore, judging from Stalin¡¯s character, the Trotskyist armed forces¡¯ defection to the Far East Government was a shame since the establishment of the Soviet Union. In order to wash away this shame, he would inevitably launch military operations against the Far East Government at all costs. At this time, the Far East Government¡ . "
Hearing this, Fang Zida raised his hand to signal Dai Chunfeng to stop talking. Fang Zida already understood all his next judgments. In fact, Fang Zida has also considered this situation, but he did not pay too much attention to some issues. Dai Chunfeng's reminder today made him feel alarmed.
Dai Chunfeng is indeed a talent. Although Zhou Yuanliang is more loyal and more qualified than him, he is far inferior to Dai Chunfeng in terms of work ability. Thinking of Zhou Yuanliang, Fang Zida felt angry. This guy has been in Ningbo for so many days, and the matter about Yin Ruizhi has not been settled yet. Although Yin Ruizhi is famous, she is only a woman after all. Zhou Yuanliang has many elite soldiers around him. , but Yin Ruizhi was never caught, which made Fang Zida a little disappointed with him.
"Perhaps, this young man should be allowed to carry heavier burdens" Fang Zida thought in his heart. At this moment, Dai Chunfeng looked at Fang Zida without saying a word, frowning and thinking deeply, and felt a little uneasy. He thought Fang Zida I am a little dissatisfied with my bold inference.
"Yunong, you continue to keep an eye on things in Russia, and don't relax in the little Japan in the northeast. If anything happens, report it to me immediately!"
Fang Zida finally spoke, and these words made Dai Chunfeng's heart drop in his throat. It seemed that what he had the courage to say just now was not in vain. Although Fang Zida did not praise himself, this arrangement was enough to prove that he regarded him as a confidant. Dai Chunfeng firmly believed that one day he would climb to a high position like Zhou Yuanliang No ! Even better than Zhou Yuanliang, becoming a person inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people.
After Dai Chunfeng left, Fang Zida thought a lot in his office alone. Issues related to Russia were indeed difficult. Although he had previously asked the General Staff to carry out a military plan for armed intervention, as Wu Peifu reminded, with China's current national power It would not be appropriate to rush into the Russian Civil War.
Thinking about it, Fang Zida is in a dilemma. If Japan is not a close enemy around him, he might be able to let go and do something big. But now Japan still occupies Northeast China, the so-called Kanto Prefecture, and the ceded Taiwan. Judging from the Bolsheviks' subversive activities in China, there are already shadows of the Japanese. , once there is no way to completely solve the Soviet Union in a short period of time, the national power accumulated over the years will be exhausted in the war, thus benefiting the Japanese fishermen.
Fang Zida is not afraid of the current Soviet Red Army. He is even confident that he can compete with the Red Army that is several times larger than them with just a few divisions. But one thing must be understood. Local battles and overall wars are completely different things. Russia is a vast country with vast resources and a large population. The Bolsheviks are good at organizing and deceiving people. Coupled with Stalin's extremely tough character, if you want to completely solve the Russian problem It's anything but simple.
After all, Russia¡¯s territory is too large. It is estimated that to completely defeat the Soviet government and completely eliminate the Bolshevik foundation in Russia, millions of troops, or even more, will be needed. And how big is the national defense force in China now? Even if reserves are included, the amount is just over one million. Even with the Far East Government as an ally, it is unrealistic for China to only send half of its troops. How could Fang Zida lose all his money in such a war?
Suddenly, the phone on the table rang, bringing Fang Zida back to reality from his thoughts. I picked up the phone and heard that it was a call from the attendant's office outside, saying that Dai Chunfeng wanted to see something.
"Let him come in." Fang Zida was a little surprised, why did Dai Chunfeng suddenly come back not long after he left? Did something big happen?
A few minutes later, Dai Chunfeng came to the Prime Minister's Office where he had just left. After entering, he reported: "Prime Minister, I just received a secret message from Director Zhou of Ningbo."
"Zhou Yuanliang's secret telegram? What did he say in the telegram?" Fang Zida asked quickly.
Dai Yunong reported with a strange expression: "Director Zhou's telegram said that Yin Ruizhi's whereabouts have been found. He and Yin Ruizhi will take today's special train back to Beijing. They will probably arrive in Beijing in the early morning of the day after tomorrow"
"Haha, this Zhou Yuanliang, he just catches people when he catches them, and he does it mysteriously" Fang Zida felt relieved, it turns out that's what happened.
But before Fang Zida's smile faded, who would have thought that Dai Yunong said again: "Go back to the Prime Minister, but the telegram also said Yin Ruizhi was not caught by Director Zhou, but she found Director Zhou herself, and she wanted to meet the Prime Minister when she returned to Beijing. You negotiate a deal" (To be continued)
