Age of Rebirth

For Beria's careful thinking and rich experience in political struggle, Stalin, who has reached the level of proficiency in playing tricks and tricks, can understand it with his eyes closed.

Although I trust Beria very much, I don't want him to have too much power, so as not to lose the tail. I also know that Beria tried every means to intervene in the General Intelligence Bureau. If I didn't secretly greet other senior Cheka officials, I am afraid that this Besso Vsky had already been eliminated by him. If the intelligence and security systems of the entire Soviet Union were unified in the hands of Beria, it would not be a good thing for him!

Therefore, Stalin glanced at Beria and said calmly: "Comrade Beria, the work of the Cheka is very important, so I don't need to involve your energy. Comrade Bessovsky is responsible for this work alone. Enough, after all, the Cheka is not good at military intelligence!"

There was no harsh words, let alone a gloomy tone, but Beria trembled in his heart, secretly vigilant, "Is it because I have been busy expanding the power in my hand recently, which has aroused the suspicion of the leader? What I said just now is clearly a warning to myself, don't This is the first time in public that you stretched your hand too far, and the situation is not quite right!"

Beria is also a very person, immediately changed his attitude, and said to Stalin: "Comrade Stalin, you are right, my idea is that if Comrade Bessovsky needs help from the Cheka, we will do our best to help him." With all our strength, after all, we are all for the common Soviet cause!" [

However, Beria didn't want to be at a disadvantage, and continued: "Comrade Stalin, our Cheka received information that at noon today, we landed about two regiments of transport planes at the field airport of the Kulun Army Division in Outer Mongolia, and unloaded a large number of them. Can we judge from this that Tang Qiuli, a Chinese, is making preparations for sending more troops to Outer Mongolia?”

Stalin fixed his eyes and asked, "Comrade Beria, is the source of the information reliable? Is there a detailed report, and what military supplies are they?"

Beria is a little proud, everyone here.They didn't come up with anything of value. The professional intelligence agencies didn't get any information. They only had themselves. Wouldn't it be more effective to work.The ability is higher than others!

Complacent, Beria replied cautiously: "Comrade Stalin. The source of the information is absolutely reliable. It was obtained by the Cheka through a special channel. Unfortunately, due to the heavy security at Kulun Airport, it is impossible to know more. information."

At this point, Beria suppressed the intention of General Bessovsky, the director of the General Intelligence Bureau of the General Staff.It is very obvious. It stands to reason that the Cheka is responsible for the elimination of counter-revolutionaries throughout the Soviet Union, mainly targeting domestic enemies.Engaging in foreign intelligence is overreaching, overreaching, and violating the principle of each taking responsibility.

Even if valuable information is obtained by accident, it should be handed over to the General Intelligence Bureau for processing. After verification, it should be reported to Comrade Stalin. Beria took it out so rashly, what if it is false information, it will mislead the leaders of Outer Mongolia Judgment of the situation, which in turn leads to catastrophic consequences.

The intention to suppress is very obvious. The chief of the general staff, Marshal Petroshilov, and the director of the General Intelligence Bureau, General Bessovsky, looked not so good. They both saw through Beria's intentions, but they couldn't face each other. Disprove this guy.

Without comment, Stalin took a puff of his pipe and said, "Okay, Comrade Bessovsky will be responsible for this matter and find out about it. In addition, Comrade Beria, the person responsible for this matter within the Cheka system The personnel are transferred to the General Intelligence Bureau of the General Staff, which is also convenient for the work to be carried out as soon as possible.”

Beria's face turned gray for a while, and he finally realized what it means to steal chickens without losing money. Not only did he fail to achieve his goal, but he also lost a department. What happened to the leader today? He specifically targeted himself. See Seeing Beria's expression as if swallowing a fly, General Petroshilov and Bessovsky secretly relieved their anger. At the same time, they also understood the leader's intentions and became more determined not to let Beria join the army Confidence in intelligence systems.

Stalin's goal was achieved, so he stopped talking about this matter. This Beria, a little ignorant of the power of heaven and earth, punished him slightly, and asked him to restrain himself, so as not to make a huge mess and turn his attention to his closest friends. The assistant, Molotov, the People's Commissar for Foreign Affairs of the Soviet Union, said in a very kind tone: "Comrade Molotov, what is your opinion on this issue?"

Molotov was the only person present who did not speak. Regarding Beria's performance, the mentality of Marshal Petroshilov and General Bessovsky was also very grasped. In his opinion, Beria Not smart, just in today's meeting, he has violated the leader's psychological bottom line twice, this guy is going to be unlucky, I am afraid that from now on, the leader must consciously suppress Beria's power, this is what Molotov gave Beria Leah's conclusion.

What should be said, what should be asked, I have said and asked. When it is my turn, I should come up with different opinions. However, I will not write my thoughts and thoughts on my forehead like Beria. Go on, shout all over the world.

Molotov, with black-rimmed glasses, said unhurriedly: "Comrade Stalin, comrades, there is no situation favorable to us in Outer Mongolia. The members of the development team came to launch this operation, relying only on our troops to attack on the periphery, it is impossible to achieve the expected goal, just as Comrade Petroshilov said, the war in Outer Mongolia cannot be ended in a short period of time.”

"However, this is also the only chance we have to regain Outer Mongolia, and we cannot give it up. Therefore, my opinion is that the comrades of the Mongolian People's Revolutionary Party should take advantage of the advantages of establishing an alliance in Outer Mongolia and continue to serve in the squadron." Internally, the development of members, the People's Committee for Foreign Affairs is specifically responsible for the work in this area."

"However, in order to divert the attention of the Chinese people, it is necessary for us to choose a direction and create some tension. On the one hand, we can cover the comrades of the Mongolian People's Revolutionary Party and facilitate their work; The sergeant training class will end early, so that the already developed backbone can return to the original army and start an uprising, and we don't have to wait for a long time."

"As for how to create trouble in that direction, I am not good at military command issues. I still have to listen to the opinions of comrades in the army, mainly Comrade Petroshilov. After all, commanding the army to fight Comrades in the army are experts in choosing a strategic direction, but I, an amateur, cannot participate!"

Look at what Comrade Molotov said, it is of a high level, that is, he put forward constructive opinions, and he was able to clearly recognize his own shortcomings, and he also brought the army to the height it should be, without worrying about possible problems. If it is not good, he is responsible for the result. He is really good at dancing and has a good face. Compared with Comrade Molotov, Beria is just like a clown jumping up and down.

Except for Beria's jealous eyes, people from the other two military systems, including Stalin, were all smiling. The meeting set the tone for this meeting, which can be seen from Comrade Stalin's gratified expression.

Stalin really admired Molotov very much, and he said that he came from the bottom of his heart. Of the few people present, perhaps he was the only one who could understand his inner worries and find a way for the Soviet Union to properly solve the problems in the Outer Mongolia region. [

Stalin was not without worries about regaining Outer Mongolia. What he feared most was entangled with the Army Division troops and fought bitterly in Outer Mongolia, forcing himself to mobilize European troops continuously to join Outer Mongolia in order to end the war as soon as possible. The Mongolian battlefield, for the Soviet Union, was a disastrous consequence.

Of course, the safest way without worrying about it is to permanently give up the territorial claim to Outer Mongolia, but this is absolutely unacceptable to me. The great Soviet Union has a vast territory, but not an inch of land is superfluous, so , the permanent loss of Outer Mongolia was the result of Stalin's legal acceptance.

There is also a deeper consideration. The big country in the south of the Soviet Union will rise sooner or later. Without the buffer of Outer Mongolia, the muzzle of the Chinese will be directly on the chest of the Soviet Union. The Far East of the Soviet Union and the vast Siberia The region will be exposed to the eyes of the Chinese, which is extremely detrimental to the national security of the Soviet Union.

Under the current international situation, the opportunity to permanently occupy the Outer Mongolia region may come this time. On the European battlefield, Hitler’s army has already invaded the British mainland. Stalin believed that the British would perish in a short time. Even if there are desperate blood transfusions by Americans, it will not work.

The British and American allied forces are bound to lose, and sooner or later they will lose the British Isles. Moreover, it will not be too long. This is Stalin's conclusion for the confrontation between the German army and the British and American allied forces on the European battlefield. It will never be satisfied with occupying the European continent. The iron heels of the German army will sooner or later set foot on the land of the Soviet Union, although Stalin did not get Hitler's "Barbarossa Plan" against the Soviet Union.

Moreover, the intelligence agencies of the Soviet Union did not find any signs that the Germans were going to attack the Soviet Union, but this did not prevent Stalin from making such a judgment. This was based on the instinctive reaction and vigilance between the two natural enemies. Stalin absolutely believed that Hitler will do so.

Would you do this if you were yourself?Stalin once asked himself in his heart, and the answer is yes. Not only would he do this, but he would do it even crazier. If he conquered the whole of Europe and had huge resources for war, Stalin himself would do more than Hitler Let the world stunned, will go to conquer the world!
