    "Who do you think is a spy?!"

    Ren Fuchen noticed that the faces of these soldiers and officers were very angry. He was about to ask each other about their origins when a young man in cotton-padded clothes and trousers with a belt came out from behind him. He held two automatic pistols at the tiger's mouth and his face turned red.  Excited.  Not only him, but other Chinese guerrillas were also angry. In the past few years, they had been at the forefront for the revolutionary cause, and had fought with the National Defense Forces many times to cover the transfer of the main force. Their achievements were even commended by Moscow, but now they have become what others call spies.  Who can bear it?

    As soon as the young man drew his gun, the Russian soldiers also raised their guns and the scene suddenly became tense.

    "Tiger Head, stop!"

    Seeing that an internal conflict was brewing, Ren Fuchen quickly grabbed the young man named Hutou, held down the gun and said, "I want to see Comrade Shumyatsky."

    "Comrade Commander is in a meeting, leave here immediately." The angry Russian officer was very impatient and looked askance at Ren Fuchen and others, as if looking at a group of lambs waiting to be slaughtered.

    Ren Fuchen didn't pay attention to this look. Seeing that the other party refused to let Shumiatsky see him, and he was afraid of causing a conflict and suffering a loss, he led his people towards the station without saying a word.  This tolerant attitude dissatisfied the young and energetic young men who followed him, so they split off the road and took a detour back to the station without even saying hello.

    This silent protest made Ren Fuchen secretly anxious, and he increasingly hoped to see Shumiatski to resolve the conflict as soon as possible.

    But at this time Shumiatski was facing a difficult choice.

    In a low wooden house in the gold mining field, several Far Eastern officers were sitting together.  In addition to Shumyatsky, there were Sukhbaatar, leader of the Mongolian Autonomous Army, and central comrades such as Milonovich Kirov who had just arrived disguised as refugees.

    The sudden attack by the Poles worsened the already recovering situation in Russia. The slogan "Defend Moscow, Defend the Red" resounded throughout Russia. At this time, senior officials had disagreements over whether Poland or the East should come first, so they sent Kirov to the Far East.  Investigate the situation.

    He only arrived last night, but this morning he appeared in high spirits in front of everyone.  Asked: "Comrade Shumiartsky. Please tell us about your situation."

    After several years of wandering guerrilla life, Shumiatsky's eyes were sunken and his face was sallow, but he was in good spirits. He introduced the current situation to him: "The situation is very bad. Since last year, the Chinese have strengthened Irkutsk and Chita  and the cleanup of the Hailanpao area. Many of our comrades died. They also strengthened gun management and set up checkpoints and outposts on the main roads. After Japan's defeat, our sources of arms were also cut off. In the past few days, Nanjing has sent another  A young man named Wang Geng also mobilized two guard brigades again. We concluded that they might launch a new attack at the latest.

    "At present, the shadow of the Chinese Communist Party can be seen everywhere from Temple Street to the Lower Tunguska River, and our main roads for external communication have been cut off.  The most lacking thing now is food!  Because after the Communist Party of China launched a large-scale raid last year, all the grain produced was brought to Xing'an Mountains and distributed per capita, and private ownership of excessive grain was prohibited. The comrades who collected grain could not even buy potatoes, so everyone had to  They make a living by eating wild vegetables and hunting.  "

    In just one sentence, he described the miserable situation of the guerrillas in the Far East. Kirov frowned when he heard that the source of food was not guaranteed.  Far Eastern Siberia is not suitable for farming, and food production is inherently low.  Now that supplies have been cut off, the hardship is evident.  But this time he came not to solve the problem of food, but to launch a Far East offensive to arouse the hatred of the Chinese and force them to send more troops to the northwest. This would help Comrade Stalin convince the central government to attack the southwest first instead of the east.

    So wait for Shumiatsky to finish speaking.  He suddenly said: "Comrades, Comrade Lenin and the Central Committee know that everyone is working hard, so they asked me to come to express condolences to everyone. Comrade Stalin also purchased a batch of grain from Japan, which I believe will be shipped soon.

    "In addition to caring, Comrade Stalin is also very worried about your situation. He has found signs of collapse in the Far East.  The Cheka led by Comrade Dzerzhensky also found out that someone has infiltrated into our ranks. This is a very serious matter!  In order to maintain the purity of the troops and trust in the party, the Central Committee hopes that you can take actions to eliminate hidden dangers. As long as you persist until the Poles are defeated, our troops will come back soon.  "

    Sukhbaatar, who was sitting next to him, reacted quickly and realized this was an opportunity. He immediately said: "Comrade Central Committee is right. I think there is something wrong with the Han army. We have been ambushed by the Han army several times during our operations."  , it¡¯s obvious that they colluded with the enemy!¡±

    His words attracted the approval of many people, who expressed that Ren Fuchen and other Chinese soldiers could not be trusted. These opponents were all military officers who had conflicts with Chinese comrades in the past. There were also many people who joined the revolution during the pre-tsarist period and were accustomed to living a life of superiority to others.  How could they tolerate the lowly Chinese people in the past being equal to themselves?Sukhbaatar is a former Mongolian rebel officer. After merging with the Far East guerrillas led by Shumyatsky, he gradually took control of the rebels with the help of the Poor Party.  In addition, Shumyatsky is also a senior figure in the Poor Party who is determined to split Mongolia and is determined to use Mongolia as a barrier between China and Russia. With his full support, the Mongolian rebels have become the second largest armed faction in the army.  In particular, the Mongolian provincial operations after the "Shanghai Communique" led to widespread opposition from Mongolian high-level officials. A large number of radical young people joined the rebels, and the army has swelled to nearly 6,000 people in three regiments.

    After seeing Kirov's approving gaze, he, who was quite military-literate, waved his arms and continued, out of his determination to achieve independence, "We have a saying in Mongolia that if the sores are not cut off, they will fester.  So I think we should purge the Han soldiers, and then gather loyal comrades to launch a new offensive to distract the Han army and prevent them from continuing to support the Kolchak gang."

    Shumiatski is not a fool. There must be some collusion between Chinese soldiers and the Chinese National Defense Forces, but there are concerns about whether to purge him.  First of all, he felt that now was not a good opportunity for purges. Since the country was facing multiple attacks from Poland and the Kolchak gang, Europe needed to be resolved first.  Although the Chinese regiment was regarded as a rebel force by the Nanjing government, they were of the same ancestry and origin. Once the purge incident was exposed, it would inevitably arouse widespread anger among the Chinese people.  As a result, the Nanjing government was under pressure to provide more assistance to Kolchak, and Moscow would be under greater pressure.

    Therefore, he was skeptical about this order. Judging from the capabilities of Tronotsky and the General Staff, this order that might anger China should not be issued. And Kirov himself is a loyal follower of Stalin.  He also knew something about the recent power struggle in Moscow through refugees, so he did not want to get involved.

    Secondly, as Yang Qiu implemented social reforms.  Forcibly implement the "Chengcheng Act" and social reforms, improve workers' benefits, and limit working hours.  Maintaining low food prices and continuing to implement military control and other measures in Northeast and other regions have hindered the eastward development of the Poor Party Theory.  Last year alone, hundreds of comrades sent to work in the Northeast region were arrested after being reported by local people, and almost ended up being annihilated!

    The Chinese League led by Ren Fuchen is one of the few supporters of the Poor Party's ideology. Once they are purged and exposed, the chance of the Poor Party's theory developing eastward will be even slimmer.  Without the China Channel, if you want to break the capitalist encirclement, you must find a way out in the direction of Turkey and Persia. In that case the conflict with capitalist countries will become more intense!

    He thought for a while and asked: "Do Comrade Kirov, Comrade Tonotsky (Tonotsky was the commander-in-chief of the Red Army at the time) and the General Staff also have this opinion?"

    Kirov seemed to know that he would ask this question, and took out a letter from his pocket: "Comrade Shumyatsky! The General Staff led by Comrade Tonotsky made mistakes, so Comrade Stalin has asked for corrections and reported to  Comrade Lenin expressed his opinion. This is his letter to you. I hope you will understand the situation clearly, hold China back, and launch a revolutionary offensive is the most important thing, rather than compromising with capitalism."

    Shumiatsky opened the letter.  The letter was written by Stalin himself and included excerpts from a Cheka report on the infiltration of Chinese spies into the Far East.  The letter expressed harshly his and Moscow's criticism of the Far East's slow development in recent years.  It was believed that the First Division of Far East Siberia did not play a role in containing the enemy, which led to the Chinese Army's large-scale march into the northwest.

    This letter gave Shumyatsky some chills. Although he was the secretary of the Far East, his status was lower than that of Stalin, Tonotsky, Dzerzhensky and Bukharin, the core group of people who were expected to become Lenin's successors.  Much lower if not able to contribute.  I'm afraid my political career is over.

    Kirov squinted his eyes, as if he was very satisfied that he had shocked him with Stalin's authority. He turned around and gave the order: "Comrade Sukh, Comrade Yanovsky, now is the time for the party to test you. Go  When performing this task, you must keep it confidential!"

    Sukhbaatar, who was bent on expelling the Han people and wanting the independence of the Communist Party, immediately stood up and walked out with a Russian regiment leader. The two officers who did not support the purge wanted to speak, but when Shumiatsky saw that they did not  To speak, you have to keep your mouth shut.

    Ren Fuchen did not know that the Chinese regiment he led would suddenly become a victim of Russia's internal political game. It was already sunset when he returned to the camp with everyone.

    The Chinese Camp is located 10 miles northwest of Yakutsk, in an open space on the bank of the Lena River. Although everyone came to Russia because of their faith, there are still many shadows of traditional culture here.  Dried salted fish processed during the Chinese New Year hang on the clothes-drying pole at the entrance of the camp. Several lesbians are cooking in pots while quietly talking about their worries about the future.

    The soldiers had just finished a day of training. Everyone gathered in the camp square to chat, some of whom dreamed of public ownership of property, and some of whom talked about domestic reforms.  When you see him come back, shut your mouth immediatelyBa comes to say hello.  This subtle scene made Ren Fuchen more and more worried. He was actually very aware of the strange atmosphere in the camp. Ever since the news of the Shanghai Communiqu¨¦ came last year, there seemed to be a big gap between everyone and him.

    When they escaped from Vladivostok, the Chinese regiment had more than 3,000 soldiers, but after successive raids, most of them had quietly left and returned home. Although many people were added in the process, there were only a little over a thousand soldiers left.  Due to the distrust of the Russian army, most of them used old and broken weapons, and the whole regiment did not even have a machine gun.

    After a while, Hutou and other young people also came back, but as soon as they came back, they got into the barracks, packed their bags and prepared to leave.  Ren Fuchen quickly stopped him and said, "Stop! Where are you going?"

    The young man nicknamed Hutou was from Harbin. His parents were both deceased. He made a living as a day laborer for the then Harbin China Eastern Railway Bureau, and was often whipped by the supervisor.  Dissatisfied, he was one of the first to join the Poor Party and followed Ren Fuchen here.  Such a person's sudden departure immediately caused a sensation in the entire camp.  Even the lesbians who were cooking gathered around.

    Hutou was young and energetic, and he felt aggrieved by what had just happened. He shouted: "I quit! These Russians have never regarded us as real people! They keep saying they are comrades. Is this what comrades look like?"  ? Brother Ren, I have been working with you for 6 years and I have never complained! We will fight whoever you say you want to fight. But where are the good days you mentioned?

    We are not afraid of hardship, even if we die 18 years later we will still be a good man!  But we don¡¯t want to die in an unknown situation!  Look back and see, what are the guys using?  Three out of ten guns are broken.  The other seven were too broken to hit even a blind bear standing in front of him.  Look at the Russian soldiers blocking our way today, and then look at the Mongolian regiments, all of which are covered with water and 38 big caps!  "The more he spoke, the more excited he became. The corners of his eyes turned red. These words also resonated with others. They all looked at the worn and old weapons in their hands, sniffing and remaining silent.

    The tiger head with red eyes continued: "You tell us that hardship and fatigue are temporary. Sooner or later we will overthrow this cannibalistic society! We believe you and follow you, but if we stay any longer, I'm afraid we will be the ones who get eaten.  ! I am a rough man, my parents have been dead since I was a child, and I don¡¯t even know a few big characters. But at least I can tell right from wrong. In the past, the Tatars were evil, and dozens of people in my hometown starved to death every year, and Russia and Japan  They have repeatedly bullied us. But what about now? All the people in my hometown have moved into state-owned farms, and they use foreign machines for farming, although most of them have to be turned over to the state. Life is not that easy, but at least the children can go to school for free, and every family has three days.  You can have a meal of white rice, and there is a lot of chicken, duck, and fish on the table during holidays.¡±

    "Brother Ren, brothers really don't want to do this anymore. The good life you mentioned may come true in the future. But we don't want to hang around like this. Even if we go back and work hard, it's better than this kind of person who doesn't look like a human or a ghost.  Days like ghosts!" Hu Tou said the emotional point, he knelt down on one knee and handed the gun to Ren Fuchen with tears in his eyes: "There are only two ways to go now, brother, either kill me, Hu Tou would rather die than anything else, or  Please ask big brother to help us and let us return to China to find our own way out!"

    A dozen young people also knelt down and pulled out their guns and placed them on the ground.  The entire camp was silent as Hu Tou's words completely aroused his thoughts.  In fact, everyone knows how big the country has changed, so many people have left one after another over the years.  Those who went back first had some connections here, so everyone knew that even Hailanpao and Chita were from the Republic of China now. Many people organized themselves, and families pooled money together to buy land, and even started mining business.  Made a fortune.

    On the other hand, those of them who were hesitant to leave, not to mention that they were always worried about the army coming to suppress them, had not even had a full meal in several years, so everyone's attention was suddenly focused on Ren Fuchen.

    Ren Fuchen also looked ugly. How could he hide domestic affairs from him?  In fact, he also knew that Hutou and the others wanted to leave for more than a day or two, and what happened today was just an excuse.  Seeing that his ideals and beliefs were not as attractive as white rice and a hot bed, he was very discouraged.

    Picking up the gun and giving it to Hutou, he said: "Brother Hutou, you can leave if you want, but now that you are all on the wanted list, you will probably suffer when you go back."

    Hu Tou, whose heart was already as hard as iron, pushed the gun and said, "Leave this gun to my eldest brother for self-defense! It is not allowed to carry guns in China now, and my brothers don't need this when they go back to live peacefully. As for suffering  " He laughed miserably, glanced at the faces of his companions around him, and said, "Isn't it just a matter of being whipped by the police and working as a coolie to build the railway for a few years? I have suffered this crime many times before, so I am not afraid of being beaten a few more times."

    Ren Fuchen sniffed and had no choice but to put away the gun silently.  Hutou and a dozen young people kowtowed a few times in accordance with the rules of the world, and after settling their bad fate, they all picked up their bags and walked out.

      Behind him, complex expressions appeared on the originally numb faces.

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? can be heard as the tiger is about to step out of the camp and start a new life again, when a gunshot suddenly rings near his ears.

    "Snapped"

    Amidst the cold gunshots, blood suddenly poured out from the chests of the companions beside him, instantly dyeing the cotton-padded jacket red!  Turning around again, countless Mongolian soldiers and Russian soldiers suddenly appeared in the jungle in all directions!  This incident made the entire camp feel like it was exploding!

    When a Japanese Type III heavy machine gun was pushed out by Mongolian soldiers from the jungle in front of the camp, Ren Fuchen's eyes were split and he shouted: "No"

    "Da da da" Amidst the bursting machine gun sounds, the purge movement on the Lena River began. Tonotsky and the Red Army General Staff tried to ease Sino-Russian relations, and the idea of ????solving the East first was mercilessly fired by bullets.  shredded.

    Who benefits?.
