Chapter 1376 Underground Organization

With the signing of the Treaty of Friendship and Mutual Assistance between East Africa and Persia, the Third East African Fleet moved into the Persian region and prepared to build a military base on the northwest coast of Persia.

As a result, East Africa's military presence in the Persian Gulf region has been further strengthened, and East Africa has achieved misaligned competition with the United Kingdom within the entire Persian Gulf, exports and periphery.

The fulcrum of Britain's military existence in the Persian Gulf is Kuwait, Bahrain, Oman, southern Persia and some important islands. Without considering external support factors, East Africa has achieved a division between the United Kingdom in the Persian Gulf.

But in fact, the competition between East Africa and other countries in the Persian Gulf must be influenced by other factors. The British mainland is far away from the Persian Gulf. Although India is used as a logistical fulcrum, it is obviously unable to compare with the East Africa with a strong industrial foundation.

As for the news currently available in East Africa, the UK is now focusing on the Red Sea coastal areas such as Egypt, British Somaliland, and Yemen.

Because the results of World War I have proved that Britain's global strategic deployment cannot turn a blind eye to East Africa, a new world power.

However, at this time, Britain was unable to suppress East Africa's rise in the Indian Ocean and the South Atlantic, so Britain's strategy towards East Africa was mainly defensive.

The focus of Britain's defense strategy is to prevent East Africa's penetration into Europe as much as possible, and in this way, Egypt and the Suez Canal have become the top priority of this strategy.

As for the Indian Ocean direction, Britain has completely turned to defense. Now Britain's attitude towards the Indian Ocean direction is to protect the security of strategic areas such as India, Mande Strait, and Malacca Strait as much as possible.

...

When East Africa was making arrangements for Persia, the competition between European countries and Russia was officially opened. From January to April 1921 alone, with the help of various countries, Ukraine and Poland newly armed more than 100,000 people. army.

At the same time, the war materials and inventory accumulated by the two major camps during World War I were also exported to Eastern Europe in large quantities. In response, the Russian Labor Party also mobilized and organized more than 300,000 troops to arrive at the Russian border, and was always wary of the imperialist counterattack.

However, deploying troops on the border is not the main plan of the Russian Labor Party. Behind Russia's frequent military mobilizations, a large number of elite troops infiltrate the Ukrainian region.

City of Westcheslav.

The city is located in the east of today's People's Republic of Ukraine and was known as Yekaterinoslav during the Tsarist Russian era.

In his previous life, the city had two more names. In 1926, the Soviet Union renamed Yekaterinoslav to Dnepropetrovsk. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, the Ukrainian government changed it to Dnepro in 2016.

The name of Westcheslav was a puppet government supported by Germany and Austria, which is now decided by the government of the People's Republic of Ukraine. According to official statements, it is to restore the Cossack history of the region, corresponding to the Zaporoze Cossack.

Of course, the Russian Labor Party obviously has its own statement, and still calls the city Yekaterinoslav.

From the late 19th to the early 20th century, Westcheslav, or Yekaterinoslav, was undoubtedly a big city.

In 1884, after the first cross-Dnieper Bridge was completed, West Cheslav entered a stage of rapid development. After that, the city's first railway station was completed and connected the coal mines in Donbas and Clivba. Iron ore of Si.

Tsarist Russia deployed a large number of metallurgical industries locally. With the development of the economy, many public, educational and cultural institutions appeared in Westcheslav, which was still called Yekaterinoslav at that time.

Westcheslav has become one of the important regional centers in Ukraine. In the early 20th century, the population of Westcheslav exceeded 200,000. In 1910, the city's population exceeded 250,000, and now it's over again. In ten years, Westcheslav's population will only be larger.

"Comrade Malenkov, welcome you to Yekaterinoslav!"

As soon as they met, Tomaje Fuka couldn't help but step forward and hugged Malenkov and said excitedly.

"You don't know that our organization was severely damaged by the pseudo-junta government. What you are most lacking now is you experienced old comrades to help us restart the workers' movement in Yekaterinoslav."

Malenkov said in the face of the excited Tomajefuka, "Comrade Tomajefuka, I understand your mood. The organization will not forget your contributions, but now it has reached the crisis of our great motherland, so reminisce about the past. Things are available in the future, so let’s get in touch with the work first.”

So, Tomajevoka suppressed his emotions and let go of Malenkov and said, "I was too excited. I will introduce you to the specific situation of Yekaterinoslav."

Then, while taking Malenkov and his group to his residence, Tomajevoka said, "Since 1918, after the contract was taken away from Yekaterinoslav, our activities have begun to change. Go underground.”

"In recent years, due to the intervention of Germany and Austria, the puppet military government has carried out many sweeping and destruction of underground organizations in Ukraine."

"Our five strongholds in Yekaterinoslav were persecuted by the puppet army because of this. At the same time, more than 20 outstanding comrades died and died under the men of the puppet army."

"However, we have withstood the pressure. From 1918 to the present, we have developed more than 50 new members. Now there are 132 members of the organization in Yekaterinoslav."

"We are scattered in Yekaterinoslav's factories, military and other places, and we also have an underground newspaper to destroy public opinion propaganda in the enemy-occupied areas."

After listening to his report, Malenkov fell into deep thought. Judging from what Tomajevoka said, Yekaterinoslav, which is the pseudo-junta government, the organizational development of the city of Westcheslav, as the pseudo-junta government, was still Not bad.

After all, since the Russian Labor Party successfully seized state power, this has also caused extreme fear among imperialist countries, and it has further triggered imperialist encirclement and suppression of Labor Party organizations outside Russia.

You should know that during the same period, in 1921, the number of Labor Party members in the Far East Empire was only more than fifty, but the population of the Far East Empire was as high as 400 million, while the total population of Yekaterinoslav was only about 230,000, but it developed a More than 100 members of the organization, this result is indeed quite good.

Moreover, the situation in Yekaterinoslav is also very complicated. This is the front line of the confrontation between Russia and imperialism, and the power of imperialism and pseudo-junta governments is extremely powerful.

In addition to the encirclement and suppression of reactionary forces, threats within the Labor Party organization also exist, and the Labor Party is actually an ideal political party.

Therefore, true Labour Party members should aim at the cause of world harmony as their lifelong goal, and are not afraid of sacrifice and dare to shed blood and sweat.

But as long as it is a human, there is no one who is not afraid of death. Not to mention the threat of death, most people are selfish animals, so if the Labor Party organization wants to develop, it will inevitably face various betrayals at all times.

"Comrade Tomajevka, I have already understood your situation. I can only say that you are worthy of being a firm Labor fighter who can withstand the pressure and push Yekaterinoslav in this situation Movement development is really not easy.”

"I will report your situation and achievements to the organization word for word. I want to wait until the day when Ukraine is liberated in the future, and you will eventually be bathed in the sunshine and the applause of the people."

Tomajevoka said excitedly in response to Malenkov's praise: "This is what we should do. After all, we are now dedicating our meager strength to the great cause of the development of human society. I believe in our joint efforts Next, the whole world will be bathed in the sun in the future.”

"And compared to our sacrifice, the lives of the Ukrainian people are the real tragedy, so the liberation of Ukraine is what I most hope to see at this stage."

Regarding the current situation in Ukraine, what Tomajevoka said is true, and the Ukrainian people do live in dire straits.

Although World War I was over and the ruling class of Ukraine established an independent country that they "dream" with, the living conditions of the people at the bottom of Ukraine have not improved at all.

Not only has it not been improved, but because of the need to fight against Russia, the Ukrainian puppet government is now increasingly severe in imposing levies on Ukraine. In addition to supporting military expenditures, the government's corruption problem from top to bottom is also becoming more and more serious.

It can be said that except for the lack of the Tsar mascot on its head, everything has not changed, and the social order is still the same as the Tsarist Russian era.

This is also easy to understand. Most of the officials of the Ukrainian government are still old faces in the Tsarist Russian era. The so-called independence is indeed very important to them. After all, if you are a human being, you don’t want to live under others for a long time, and they also don’t want to accept the leadership of the Tsar.

However, they opposed the Tsarist system but did not oppose the distribution system left by the Tsarist period. After all, they were also beneficiaries of this system.

No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading!

However, these have nothing to do with the "troubled people" in Ukraine, and some of them even hope to return to the serf system.

The Russian Labor Party does have various problems, but there is no doubt that they allocated social wealth and regarded the people or workers as humans before the organization was corrupt. After all, the situation of the peasants in Russia has not changed much.

However, this problem is actually not serious, at least in theory. After all, in order to develop production, the Russian Labor Party must vigorously promote industrialization, and under the wave of industrialization, farmers can actually be transformed into workers.

In short, the Russian people under the rule of the Russian Labor Party have much higher status than ordinary people in Ukraine.

In other words, the living conditions of the Ukrainian people remain unchanged and their status remained unchanged, maintaining their characteristics in the Tsarist Russian era. Under this circumstance, the puppet government of Ukraine is actually as unpopular as the Tsarist Russian era.

To this end, Tomajevka said to Malenkov: "Although our organization in Yekaterinoslav has not expanded much in size, we have penetrated into various fields of Yekaterinoslav and we have many helpers. , such as steel mill workers, railway workers, soldiers, and progressive people who sympathize with the Ukrainian people."

"If we can organize them, we may be able to successfully overthrow the so-called Westcheslav municipal government of the puppet army and liberate the entire Yekaterinoslav."

Malenkov asked, "Then you guess, if we are well prepared, how many people can we win over?"

Tomajevoka said: "There is no problem for tens of thousands of people. There are many factories in Yekaterinoslav, and there are thousands of workers in the city's steel factory alone. In addition, Yekaterinoslav serves as a railway hub. , there are also many railway workers, and steel workers and railway workers are the focus of our development."

"However, Yekaterinoslav's puppet troops were also very large. It is close to the border, and it is an industrial center and a transportation hub, so the number of troops garrisons is as many as 30,000."

"If we want to successfully promote the Ekaterinoslav movement, we must solve the problem of the army, otherwise the tragedy of the Paris movement may repeat the situation in the face of the suppression of the garrison."

At this time, Malenkov asked, "Since that's the case, have you ever tried to develop your own people in the army?"

Tomajevoca replied: "This is natural. We infiltrate the army through various means, but this infiltration can only win over some of the lower-level soldiers and lower-level officers, and it is not enough to change the overall attitude of the army."

This is indeed a big problem. Yekaterinoslav, or Westcheslav, as a military center in Ukraine, if the army obeys the command of the pseudo-junior government, even if all the citizens of Yekaterinoslav are pulled over by the Labor Party, it will be useless. .

Tomajevoka continued: "The biggest problem is that many local garrisons are transferred from other places, which makes it difficult for us to infiltrate the army. In addition, there are German and Austrian troops in the local garrisons. The country's military advisers, with them giving advice to the puppet army, further exacerbating the difficulty of our work."

Malenkov frowned and asked, "Since that's the case, how many military members have you won over? Especially the lower-level officers, where is the highest position? How many people are there? Is it reliable?"

Since he knew the problem of Yekaterinoslav, Malenkov could only obtain as much information as possible to help lay the foundation for the next activity.

Tomajevoka said: "We have won three company commanders and one regiment commander in the local garrison. They are all officers who were provoked for war because of the war. Because of their low origins, they have low positions. ""

In summary, these officers have relatively low origins. If there was no war on the ground, they might still be digging potatoes, but because of their outstanding performance in the first battle, they were provoked as officers.

With Tomajevoka's continued introduction, Malenkov also learned that the number of troops that the Labor Party can influence is about 3,000.

But this is just an impact. After all, although many people sympathize or support the Labour Party’s philosophy, they do not have the awareness of working with the Labour Party.

However, this made Malenkov make up his mind. He said strongly: "It's enough, three thousand military personnel, plus tens of thousands of workers, as long as we settle nearly 30,000 puppet army armed forces, we can make Ye Katerinoslav changed flags and flags. ”

"Although we have a small number of people, the puppet army has weak combat power and will. This is our opportunity. As long as we can take the initiative and control the top leaders of the puppet army, as well as the important institutions and places of Yekaterin Noslav. The Northlav puppet military government will fall into a state of being headless. Finally, when the border troops cooperate, we can successfully break through the puppet military government's defense and eventually liberate Ukraine."

It is indeed very risky to make a big fortune with a small profit, but the Russian Labor Party was able to succeed and eventually seize state power. This was a way of trial and error. When the Russian Labor Party organized a domestic movement, the number of members was only 200,000 to 300,000, and that At that time, Tsarist Russia had millions of troops and controlled more than 100 million people.
