Chapter XX Decisions of the Military Conference

"Well, Comrade Chu Sinan's views are very interesting," he said with a smile after hearing Chu Sinan's words, Buluheer's face was already full of smiles. "I remember Comrade Fu Longzhi once talked about this issue. Oh, yes, that seems to be in 2004? Well, yes, it was in 2004, which was at the Military Academy Research Association. I remember Mikhail was also there at that time."

Buluhel's words obviously evoked some memory of Tukhachevsky. A hint of nostalgia flashed across his face. After a long time, he nodded heavily and said, "Yes, Comrade Trifonech's strategic vision is unattainable. He had already proposed that the basis of the stability of our Soviet regime is the East. However, after so many years, we have forgotten this great judgment."

Trifonech was a pseudonym for Comrade Fu Longzhi in the party back then. Later, some comrades and friends who had close ties with him also called him this. Chu Sinan saw that Tukhachevsky had a good personality, or it could be said that he was one of his weaknesses, that is, excessive nostalgia.

"Although what Comrade Chu Sinan said on the Eastern Front just now is very simple, I have roughly understood what he meant. There is no doubt that according to my understanding, his point of view can be regarded as a continuation of Comrade Fu Longzhi's strategic thinking." Buluhell took over the topic and said, "The current situation is that the whole of Europe has been completely shrouded in war. In addition to us and the United Kingdom, who guarded the island, the German fascists have explored their war tentacles to every corner of the European continent. In the East, Japanese militarists are also trying their best to spread the smoke of invaders. Now, it is even more likely to put their ideas on the heads of the Americans.

Assuming that the Americans join the war, the situation and nature of this war will change accordingly. It will no longer be limited to Europe or Asia, but will become a united whole, a world war between the anti-fascist alliance against the fascist axis. Although the Germans and Japanese are now very strong in offensive momentum and strong in military power, I don’t think they will eventually have a chance to win this war. In this way, we will face a problem, that is, how to pursue as much post-war security as possible while carrying out this war. In Europe, naturally, there is nothing to say, since our revolution has been successful, and after those interference with foreign countries

The clash of forces, our political influence has been widely recognized in this region. At least among Eastern European countries, the revolutionary forces are already deeply rooted. So what about the East? Where is it a place that has experienced deep suffering? The colonial rule of Western imperialist forces has begun to breed and spread in that area since the last century or even earlier. It is not easy for us to introduce our example of success in the revolution without direct conflict. This world-wide war is obviously an opportunity for us. War is a kind of

Heavy harm, but it is also the most powerful and effective agent for stimulating the awakening of a country and a nation. Judging from the current situation alone, the colonial chain of Western imperialism has been completely destroyed by the invasion of German fascism, and their colonial rule in the East has been extremely fragile. I think that what we should do at present, at least in the near future, is to support the revolutionary struggles carried out by brother parties in various countries to the greatest extent possible, and they establish Soviet or democratic regimes that tend to be more in the Soviet Union. This is in our interests and at the same time, what our Soviet regime should do."

Buluhel's words attracted a lot of approval in the venue, and even Tukhachevsky and Cuikov, who had different political positions, could not help but nodded repeatedly.

"I agree with the opinions of the above comrades," Konev stood up and said, "But while paying attention to the Eastern Front strategy, we cannot ignore the situation of the Western Front. The best way at present is to accelerate the advancement speed on the Western Front battlefield, strive to end the initial strategic concept of the Northern Front General Campaign within three to five months, and to push our Northern Front into Finland on the basis of eliminating the main Finnish army. We must remember that if there is no strategic counterattack on the Western Front, there will be no strategic offense on the Eastern Front. We must not put ourselves in the dilemma of fighting on both sides like Hitler, and we would not be irrational at that time."

Konev said this, turned his head to look at Chu Sinan on one side, and then continued, "This morning, I heard Comrade Chu Sinan say an idea, that is, to mobilize the main force of the Black Sea Fleet to the Eastern Front North Pacific Fleet. I personally think that this is a good idea. After all, our main energy is now placed on the Northern Line, and the impact of the Black Sea Fleet on the entire battle situation is already minimal. Instead of leaving it in the Black Sea area that has nothing to do, it is better to play a greater role in the Far East. Another point is to make every effort to open a transportation channel through Mongolia to Shanxi and Shaanxi, and increase assistance to the anti-Japanese forces in China. The mutual cooperation between these two aspects can to a certain extent delay the Japanese army's offensive rhythm on other battlefields, and win more time for us."

After Konev finished speaking, he sat down and the whispers in the venue rang again.

"Do you have any other opinions to add?" Tukhachevsky's eyes patrolled the venue and asked, "If there are no other opinions, we will make a summary of today's meeting."

The venue was silent, and his eyes were fixed on the clerk who had just stood up. Today's temporary military meeting was actually very simple, which was to study the information provided by the Security Committee to decide whether to transfer troops from the Eastern Front. However, the theme of the meeting was partially deviated later.

Chu Sinan sat in his seat, feeling extremely nervous. The result of today's meeting was clear. Tukhachevsky's attempt to draw troops from the Eastern Front was rejected by the powerful military faction led by Buluhell. This should be a good thing for Chu Sinan, but his performance today may attract Tukhachevsky's distrust, which may be very unfavorable to his future situation.

For Chu Sinan, the unfavorable news seemed to be only this. In the subsequent resolution announced by Tukhachevsky, because the Northern Military Commissioner was to launch the advancement battle as soon as possible, he, as the Northern Military Commissioner, could no longer stay in Moscow. He had to prepare everything within two days and rush to the north with his luggage.
