From mid-June to early July 1936, the Red Army troops retreated from Belarus and Ukraine. They were like frightened birds and received orders to join Moscow. At the same time, they were deployed in the lower reaches of the Volga River, the Caucasus Mountains, and the Soviet troops in the Ural region with combat effectiveness were also ordered to concentrate in Moscow. Only the Northern Soviet Front Army received orders to defend Leningrad, Murmansk and Arkhangsk, and showed no signs of moving east to participate in the Moscow defense war.

Infantry, artillery, trucks, ambulances, and carriages lined up in columns, advancing day and night along the road leading from all directions to Moscow. The new commander-in-chief of the Moscow Front, Marshal Yakir, was also in the torrent of the army that was flowing to Moscow. He was originally the commander of the Middle Eastern Front in charge of defending Persia and the Caucasus region. It had been maintained for a considerable period of time, so Yakir did not lose much army and territory. Such contributions are indeed very prominent in the current defeated Red Army, so Jona Emanuilovic Yakir, who was only 40 years old, was promoted to marshal by Trotsky, who was in trouble and was responsible for defending Moscow.

He is now sitting in a semi-track armored vehicle modified by a Gastruk, looking at the infantry that looked like a torrent, jogging and marching in a hurry. Beside him, Marshal Ubolevich, who was born in the same year as him. Ubolevich was previously the commander of the Soviet Southwest Front, but was defeated by the German army in the Battle of Trotskygrad. More than one million troops were lost and hundreds of thousands of remnants fled out of Ukraine. However, Trotsky did not punish Ubolevich for his defeat, because the Southwest Front

The failure was caused by the defeat of the Western Front. The German armored cluster went south along the Dnieper River, surpassing their retreat, so the responsibility was not on the Southwest Front. Of course, it was not on the Western Front. Six nuclear fission bombs were bombed in a row, and the iron-fisted troops collapsed. Moreover, Yegorov and Tukhachevsky also tried their best to organize an Orsha Tank Battle, and the Tukhachevs' basics died at the front line... In short, the Western Front and the Southwest Front were both good, and the only thing that should be cursed was the imperialist nuclear fission bomb!

So Ubolevic now became Yakir's deputy commander - the deputy commander of the Moscow Front. He was now holding a thick stack of troops. The numbers and equipment of the Soviet Red Army or Tank Army that were preparing to participate in the defense of Moscow.

"There are 62 armies, 27 tanks, and 3 air forces... Jona Emanuilovic, this is definitely the largest number of troops I have ever seen!" Ubolevic seemed to want to say something inspiring. He glanced at Yakir and then said: "Moscow's urban defense project has also begun to be built. Two or three million people were mobilized to hold hoes and shovels for more than two months... They dug around Moscow.

A huge circle. There are gullies, mounds as bunkers, dense tree villages that are inserted in the direction of the enemy and cross-shaped welded iron beams, piles of trees that have been cut down, tank trenches and cliffs, permanent fire points and civil and wooden fire points, and various obstacles are also set up - lazhai, diamond-shaped horse-resisting horses, tree trunk deer villages... All projects are carried out under the strict command of engineer experts, and should be quite solid."

"Very good. It seems we have a rather solid fortress, just like Krasnoyarsk." Yakir said unintentionally.

"Moscow is much larger!" Ubolevic reminded: "The total area of ​​the entire defense zone will reach more than 10,000 square kilometers. There is no way to destroy it with 100 nuclear fission bombs."

"So, what about using 200 nuclear fission bombs?" Yakiel said that nuclear fission bombs are no longer a word for being taboo. After all, one or two million Russians have witnessed the mushroom cloud with their own eyes. A melancholy look flashed in his eyes: "The enemy may not have so many nuclear fission bombs, maybe there are so many, who knows? But why should we defend Moscow? Why don't we give up Moscow and retreat into the Ural Mountains? Maybe we can defeat the Chinese who came from the east. Their logistics line is almost 10,000 kilometers. This is a fatal weakness. If we use the troops defending Moscow to deal with the Chinese in the east of Ural Shandong, I am 100% sure to win! But why did the above repeatedly reject my suggestion and insist on leading my troops to defend Moscow, which is destined to be unable to defend?"

...

The same problem was also proposed at the meeting of the Supreme Soviet Army of the Soviet Army on July 12, 1936 that General Pavlov, who replaced Tukhachevsky as Chief of General Staff, once again made a suggestion, hoping that Trotsky could consider giving up Moscow and use flexible and maneuverable operations to defeat the invaders on both the east and west sides. However, Trotsky's reasons for opposing it sounded very sufficient.

"Comrade Pavlov, our career will go through a low period, which is inevitable." Trotsky's tone seemed very calm, "This is the test we must endure before we win the final victory..."

"I know, Comrade Trotsky," said Pavlov.

Trotsky continued: "So the true significance of the Moscow defense war lies in inspiring future youth and continuing along the path we have taken to launch the second, third, and even the fourth world revolution until all mankind is liberated! Comrade Pavlov, do you think it is a vigorous Moscow defense war that can inspire future generations more, or is it more exciting for millions of troops to escape into the Ural Mountains?"

"The Battle of Moscow, Comrade Trotsky, but we may persist in the Ural Mountains for a longer time," said Pavlov. "We can even persist until the Second World Revolution breaks out. Now the contradiction between imperialism is very deep. World War III may break out soon..."

"World War III? Unfortunately, I can't see this possibility." Trotsky took out a cigar from his pocket and lit it. "They will live in peace for a long time, because the four imperialists of China, the United States, Britain and Germany need time to consolidate their respective camps. Moreover, China and Germany, which have the strongest military power among the four great powers, have a large amount of spoils to be consumed after the war. This will create a great demand... so that their demand for the external market will not be too great in the short term. In addition, China and Germany also have extremely rich resources through their territory expansion. Therefore, for a considerable period of time, China and Germany will not have the motivation to expand externally, so naturally they will not fight World War III in the short term."

Pavlov was silent, and he looked at Trotsky, and had nothing to say for a moment.

"When can Comrade Yakir and Comrade Ubolevici arrive in Moscow?" Trotsky looked at Pavlov.

"This afternoon, you can go to Moscow tonight at the latest." Pavlov replied.

"Let them come to the Kremlin immediately after they arrive in Moscow."

"Okay." Pavlov stood up, picked up his military cap and put it on his head, saluted Trotsky again, and was about to say goodbye. He heard a burst of rapid footsteps outside the door, and then he saw a major general of the Red Army walking in with a telegram and stuffing it into Pavlov's hand.

"What's the matter?" Trotsky asked.

Pavlov looked through the telegram and looked a little gloomy again: "The Chinese occupied Yekaterinburg! They were still seizing troops towards Chelyabinsk, New Uralsk and other directions. It is estimated that they will fight the Urals soon."

"Comrade Trotsky. Will this be an opportunity? Perhaps the Chinese want to get involved in the territory of Europe, which Hitler cannot tolerate!" Livinov, a member of the Soviet Union's diplomatic people's commissar, reminded Trotsky with some excitement. During this period, his diplomatic efforts suffered a series of failures, but he still did not mean to be discouraged. Now, even if there is a slight hope, he wants to hold on to it.

"Don't think of such a good thing. The Chinese must have started to act at the request of Germany." Trotsky sighed and made a gesture to Pavlov, indicating that he could leave. Pavlov saluted Trotsky again, and then left the conference room in the Kremlin bunker with a dejected look.

Chang Ruiqing official residence in Tangshan, Nanjing.

Although it is the hottest time of the year in Nanjing, the central air conditioner that has just been opened makes the huge official residence building as cool as spring. However, in the small living room of the official residence, it is still steaming at this time. Although Chang Ruiqing installed a novel thing like air conditioner at home, he did not use the iced Coca-Cola to entertain Mao Zd and Chen Duxiu, who were visiting each other, and made traditional Chinese green tea. Four cups of hot tea were brought into the living room by Shuko Yamaguchi and placed on the coffee table next to the four of them.

When Shuzi Yamaguchi came in, Mao Zd was talking about his short-term experience in rural Hunan in Hunan in accent. When he saw Shuzi Yamaguchi, he paused for a moment, and perhaps he severely condemned Prime Minister Chang who ruined the Japanese girl in his heart. Then he picked up the teacup and took a sip, and then continued: "Speaking of this, I haven't been to the countryside for many years, especially in remote rural areas, so this trip to Hunan can only be described as eye-opening. Prime Minister, I think you should also go to the countryside and listen to what the peasant brothers said? What do they want? How to develop the rural economy."

"Of course, farmers nowadays don't want to be farmers and farm again. Even if they cannot achieve this goal, they will try every means to make their descendants realize it." To be honest, Chang Ruiqing knows more than anyone else what the Chinese farmers think about in this era and does not need to go to the countryside to listen to what the peasant brothers say.

Mao Zd frowned and said in a deep voice: "I am not a farmer anymore, who will plant the land?"

Chang Ruiqing smiled and said, "President, Mr. Zhongfu, we are all GCD people, right?"

Mao Zd and Chen Duxiu thought to himself: "Are there anyone with so many gcd people with you? And they are all more beautiful than the concubines in the Qing Dynasty Emperor Palace." However, they still nodded seriously in terms of face.

Chang Ruiqing smiled faintly, looked at Shuko Yamaguchi who was standing beside him, waved at her, and asked her to take her back first. Then he said, "What is our GC-ism distribution model? Uh, don't say anything on demand, that kind of place sounds a bit like the paradise of their yslam that the Caliph told me last time."

"That will be realized in the future!" Mao Zd glared at Chang Ruiqing and said coldly: "At present, distribution according to work should be the distribution method advocated by our party."

"That's right. More work is more rewarding, less work is less rewarding!" Chang Ruiqing smiled and said, "President, do you think farmers are hard to farm, or are workers work hard? Do farmers make more profits or workers make more profits? Moreover, workers in the city don't have to pay taxes and don't have to worry about losing money. They will have pensions when they get old, and even when they get sick, they can ask their employers to reimburse part of their medical expenses. These are benefits that farmers do not have. Farmers do more and earn less, but there is no guarantee. If they are willing to work for generations, they will definitely have an abnormal mind. Therefore, it is not a problem for who will farm, but the question is how much money they should earn."

"How can I explain the distribution according to work like this?" Mao Zd frowned deeply. To be honest, what Chang Ruiqing said now is so harsh, how could he hear it? But he didn't know how to refute it. Chang Ruiqing is a politician and thinker of the same level as Lenin Trotsky! The truth that he said should be difficult to refute. Chen Duxiu, who was beside him, also nodded frequently: "That's the truth, that's the truth. I have been the Minister of Agriculture and the president of the Fishermen Association for so many years. What I thought about is to make farmers rich, but it's not easy. There are more than 400 million farmers in China, and the number of directly engaged in agriculture is about 200 million. If we want to reach the average income level of workers, the total income of farmers across the country will reach more than 200 billion Chinese yuan! How much food does it take to make money?"
