Shanghai Bund, Hongqi Jewelry Company.

This is the industry of GC International. The first floor is a shopping mall for selling Russian jewelry and art, and the second floor is a vault and office. The jewelry business on the first floor is very prosperous. Every day when business is open, there are rich Chinese and foreign customers who spend a lot of money. The second floor is where customers stop. Even if the amount of transactions is large, they can only be completed on the counter on the first floor. The Soviet manager of Hongqi Jewelry Company will never invite customers to the office on the second floor to have a cup of tea.

Although the managers and clerks here are a bit arrogant, the business of Hongqi Jewelry Company is not affected at all, and firmly occupies the position of China's largest jewelry and art company.

The reason is that among the jewelry and artworks sold here, there are all high-quality products, almost all of which are suppressed Tsarist Russian nobles, and the capitalists collect treasures, and the prices are relatively fair. More importantly, they will never buy fakes from Hongqi Jewelry Company... The treasures sold here are related to the credibility of GC International and the Soviet Union, so each piece has been carefully identified by experts detained in Gulag.

"Comrade Lesinskaya, it seems that you really have some talent in doing business. Under your management, the turnover of the jewelry company last month doubled compared with the same period last year!"

In the office on the second floor, Miff, the head of GC International's delegation to China, said to Natalie Lesinskaya, the new manager of Hongqi Jewelry Company, with a smile on his face.

"This is not my credit, it is mainly the result of my efforts together." Lesinskaya nodded to Miff: "In addition, the business of Hongqi Jewelry Company is so prosperous, which is closely related to Shanghai's free trade and low tax revenue. According to my investigation, the jewelry sold by Hongqi Jewelry Company in Shanghai mainly flows to the United States and Europe. Shanghai has now become a trading center in East Asia and the Western Pacific. I think we should make better use of this trading center."

As he said that, Lesinskaya took out a stack of documents from the desk drawer and handed them to Miff.

"This is..." Miff took the document and looked at it, and his face suddenly showed an ecstasy expression. It turned out that this was a contract signed with the United Chemical Manufacturing Company to build a pharmaceutical factory! Chemical pharmaceuticals are the weakness of the Soviet industry. In the orders issued by GC International to delegations to various countries, there was a task of purchasing chemical pharmaceutical equipment. However, after a few more glances, the smile on Miff's face disappeared. "The factory is built in Shanghai? Comrade Lesinskaya, which end do you belong to?"

Lesinskaya giggled twice: "My Comrade Miff. Don't you know that capitalists can do anything to obtain high profits? Please turn to the last two pages of the contract, which has a supplementary agreement on it. According to the provisions of the supplementary agreement, if the pharmaceutical factory cannot be established in Shanghai, we can re-select the factory site, and the United Chemical Manufacturing Company must help us build the pharmaceutical factory at the site we re-selected... Of course, this is just to cover up the situation. I have agreed with Mr. Yamon Hammer, the owner of the United Chemical Manufacturing Company. The factory will be built in the Soviet Union. All equipment and American engineering and technical personnel will arrive in Shanghai first and then transport it to the Soviet Union."

Miff glanced at the blond and blue-eyed Polish beauty opposite, and the intimate scene of this Polish beauty and an old American capitalist appearing in his mind. In fact, Yamon Hammer is a young man in his twenties. In history, he is a red capitalist who is good at doing business with GC-based countries.

Although I was thinking about dirty things in my mind, Comrade Miff's face was still serious. He nodded and said, "Comrade Lesinskaya, I will report your achievements to Moscow immediately. In addition, Moscow also explained something. There is a batch of important machinery and equipment to be transported through China to the Soviet Union for the construction of tractor factories. I want to ask you to take action. Personally escort these machinery and equipment to Chita, the capital of the Far Eastern Republic."

Lesinskaya's beauty has slightly frowned. Equipment that produces tractors can also be used to produce tanks! Therefore, the Chinese strictly prohibit the export of relevant equipment or re-exporting them to the Soviet Union through China. However, the Chinese strictly prohibited them is not without loopholes. On the one hand, there are still many unknown "tactic understandings" between the Chinese authorities and the Soviet Union and the GC International; on the other hand, their customs personnel are not of high quality. They are not very clear about the uses of various machinery and equipment, and they are also easy to be bought! It is indeed Lesinskaya's specialty to break through joints and exploit policy loopholes, but will there be any risks after going to Chita? The recent news in the Soviet Union is not very good, and all those who have a little connection with Derrensky have become suspects of counter-revolution...

While Lesinskaya was hesitating, Miff seemed to see her thoughts: "Comrade Skrysky, Chairman of the International Executive Committee of GC, will meet you in Chita. He has read your report on the relationship between Chang Ruiqing and the earthquake. Some things I don't understand want to ask you personally."

Chang Ruiqing and the earthquake? Lesinskaya's heart was thrilled again. She did not mention anything valuable in the report she submitted to GC International. Skrynsky was so busy and probably forgot after reading it. How could there be something I don't understand? This Miff must be lying!

"Well, I get it, Comrade Miff, when should I leave?"

Miff's eyes narrowed into a line and looked at Lesinskaya carefully: "Of course, the faster the better. The construction site of the Trotskygrad Tractor Factory is waiting for this batch of important equipment to arrive. And Comrade Skrysky also hopes to meet you immediately after returning to Chita after his visit to Japan. His time is very tight."

...

Skryngsky, chairman of the GC International Executive Committee, was a destroyer of the Soviet Far East Fleet (home port in Nikolayevsk) and arrived at the Yokohama Port Pier in Japan on February 11, 1924. He was accompanied by two important figures, German GCD and Polish GCD. Their public purpose of coming to Japan was to participate in the founding ceremony of the Japanese Soviet Socialist Republic on March 1!

On the pier of Yokohama Port, the Soviet diplomats led by Troyanovsky had long been waiting for him here. The representative of Japan was naturally the 65-year-old Japanese chairman Comrade Katsuyama. On the pier, reporters from media from various countries were crowded with people. Although Japan is determined to take the socialist path, the iron curtain has not yet been lowered. Foreign journalists, businessmen and Red Cross personnel can still enter and exit Japan more freely. The only strange thing is that the pier is surrounded by heavily guarded Japanese Red Army soldiers, and there is no welcome crowd. Doesn’t the working people of Japan welcome the leaders of GC International to visit?

However, Skryngsky knew what was going on. In Akata, he had received a report on the rampant activities of counter-revolutionaries in Japan! After successfully overthrowing the Nishienji traitor group, Japan's GCD had to face various contradictions and class enemies in Japan! Especially after the news of Tokyo's Dashen and the Japanese Soviet Socialist Republic's opening on January 24, it turned out that many "comrades" in Japan's GCD seemed to be transformed into enemies! Especially the Japanese Soviet Socialist Republic is not a short sign. The leaders of Japan's GCD were really determined to follow the socialist path, and to follow the socialist path, they had to implement social transformation in Japan, including economic transformation and political cleaning. In this way, conflicts between the Japanese GCD and the middle and upper classes in Japanese society were inevitable. Most of the middle and upper classes in Japan belonged to the old Japanese samurai class!

Now the Japanese GCD internal documents have called members of this class by "counter-revolutionary samurai"! However, the Japanese G's actions to suppress the counter-revolutionary samurai class were not as smooth as expected. Although the Japanese samurai class no longer existed from a legal perspective after the Meiji Restoration, the Bushido spirit was constantly promoted by the government of the Japanese Empire, which penetrated into the hearts of every Japanese man! As for those Japanese whose ancestors were real samurai, they were full of the "despite" and "despite human life" spirit!

In order to better understand the actual situation of the Japanese revolution and the reactionary thoughts of the Japanese counter-revolutionary samurai class, on his way to Japan, he was reading a Russian version of the "Ye Yin Wen Shu", which is the Bible of the Japanese Bushido Spirit. According to Skryngsky's reading experience, the core of the so-called Japanese Bushido Spirit is the word "death"! It is to die decisively, die without nostalgia, and die without hesitation. The Bushido Spirit fundamentally denies the attachment to life of ordinary people. It is believed that only death is sincere, other fame and fortune are dreams... The Bushido Spirit advocates that one should first overcome the fear of death (or all fears) psychologically. Then one can defeat others. First, one can "do not have one's own life" and "take the lives of others."

If one-tenth of the millions of Japanese counter-revolutionary samurai class can meet Ye Yin’s request, then being a defending warrior in Japan is really the most dangerous job in the world! Suppressing the Japanese reactionary samurai class will become an extremely difficult task. If this task cannot be completed, then there will be no way to talk about Japan’s socialist construction...

When Skryngsky walked down the boat with steady steps, his face was already filled with solemn and worried expressions. Katayama seemed to have noticed this. When the two shook hands and hugged each other, Katayang said to Skryngsky in fluent Russian: "Welcome, Comrade Skryngsky. I hope you can report the actual situation here to Comrade Trotsky after inspecting Japan, and believe that he will guide us to solve the current problem."

Skryngsky smiled and replied in a low voice: "I also believe that Comrade Trotsky will definitely point us in the direction. Japan is an important part of the world revolution, so we will do everything possible to help Japanese customer service difficulties." Then, accompanied by Katayama Kuro, he shook hands with the top Japanese GCD leaders who came to Yokohama to greet him. Finally, he got into the car of the Soviet embassy and, under the protection of the Japanese Red Army, headed to the Soviet embassy in Tokyo.

The Soviet embassy in Rokumoto, Tokyo is the most heavily guarded of all foreign embassies in Japan, because this embassy is already an important target of the "counter-revolutionary terrorist samurai" (the name for anti-g Japanese terrorists in the Japanese G documents)! Therefore, Yuki Takeda, who was loyal to the Soviet Union, mobilized a large number of Red Army soldiers to defend the Soviet embassy.

In a living room on the second floor of the embassy, ​​Skrynsky held a Russian coffee and looked at a team of Japanese Red Army soldiers patrolling outside and asked Troyanovsky: "How is the current situation compared to Russia after the October Revolution? Is there any powerful organization for the Japanese counter-revolutionary samurai to lead them? Will Nishimotoji Komatsu and Kitaichiko use these people to counterattack?"

This series of problems was long expected by Troyanovsky. "The current situation in Japan is not much comparable to that in Russia after the October Revolution. Because Japan GCD successfully seized power by taking advantage of the national crisis and the internal contradictions of the Japanese ruling class, Japan itself has not deep foundation. There are not many supporters even among the working class and poor peasants in Japan. In fact, Japan GC's most powerful supporters were a group of unwilling to make Japan become a second-rate Asian country in the past Japanese army and naval officers, who were also members of the samurai class. After the 1.24th repression, these people were a little disconnected between the same Japanese G. This situation was very dangerous to the Japanese Revolution!"

Skrynsky was stunned for a moment and asked back, "What do you mean... is the practice of suppressing the Japanese samurai class wrong?"

Troyanovsky was silent for a while and replied: "Comrade Skrynsky. This is not my point of view, but the point of Comrade Takeda Hiroshi Takeda. Now there are two opinions within Japan. The leaders of the Red Army represented by Takeda Hiroshi Kato, Kato Hiroshi Kato and others all believe that the policy of suppressing the Japanese samurai class needs to be changed. The leaders of the Japanese GCD led by Katayama and Nosaka Kasamsa insist on completely suppressing the Japanese samurai class. They believe that the Japanese samurai class is a stumbling block that hinders the progress of Japanese society and must be completely eliminated, otherwise Japan will not be able to become a real socialist country."

"Oh." Skryngsky nodded without comment. Troyanovsky glanced at him and whispered: "Comrade Skryngsky. Now the comrades in the embassy in Japan think that Takeda is an amazing revolutionary. I want to ask you to talk to him alone, and maybe you can find a solution to the difficulties faced by the Japanese revolution."

"Talk alone?" Skrynsky asked lightly: "Has Comrade Takeda been to the embassy?"

"Yes." Troyanovsky gave a positive answer: "He is waiting for your reception in my office."

"Okay, please come over, I'm interested in this young North Korean GCD guy."

...

“Vasily?”

Lesinskaya never thought that she would meet Zhang Guotao in this customs office in the Shanghai Customs Building.

Today she came to Shanghai Customs to handle the import customs clearance procedures for a batch of important machinery and equipment. Of course, several of the key equipment are prohibited from being exported to the Soviet Union! But Lesinskaya did not think that Lieutenant General Zhang Guotao, who was appointed as the director of the China National Intelligence Administration, came to the customs to see her for such trivial matters. So she quickly returned to peace and asked with a smile: "Director Zhang, are you having something to do with me?"

Zhang Guotao waved at the two bodyguards beside him and asked them to guard outside the office. When they closed the door, he smiled slightly: "Comrade Lesinskaya, I was commissioned by Comrade Derrensky to meet you. Didn't Comrade Derrensky send someone to inform you?"

As soon as Zhang Guotao said something, Lesinskaya's heart trembled. She had heard the name of "Stalindirrensky Counter-Revolutionary Group". She also knew that Trotsky had regarded this counter-revolutionary group as a major concern. Within the Soviet intelligence system, anyone with some connection with Derrensky was a suspect in counter-revolutionary. If anyone was found to have contacted Derrensky in China, it would be impossible to clean it if he jumped into the Volga River.

However, this woman has seen the world. At this time, she was still calm in the face of danger. The smile on her face became even more charming: "Director Zhang, everyone in Cheka knows that Derrensky and I have no friendship. I have always been a firm Trotskyist faction! Your slander is not harmful to me!"

Still holding on! Zhang Guotao sneered in his heart and said, "Comrade Lesinskaya, according to the situation in GC International, starting from September last year, you will meet Comrade Derrensky every Sunday morning... Well, it was their guess, because no one knows where you went and who you met every Sunday morning? By the way, Comrade Lesinskaya, can you tell me where you went every Sunday morning?"

Lesinskaya's face changed drastically. From September last year to now, she goes to the Catholic church in Nanjing or Shanghai every Sunday to attend Sunday Mass! As a glorious GCD member (except for Chinese G), of course, he should not believe in God, but she heard Chang Ruiqing talk about God's appearance with her own ears. Moreover, the Kanto earthquake on September 1 seemed to be the ironclad evidence of God's help to his believer Chang Ruiqing! Well, at least in the eyes of her former Polish noble lady who came from a devout Catholic family, the truth of the Kanto earthquake is that God is appearing! So she must pray to God and confess her sins of betrayal of God for many years... (To be continued.)
