Age of Rebirth

Stalin knew very well that no matter how violent the Japanese Kwantung Army and Tang Qiuli's troops were in the east, it was not a serious problem, nor was it a factor that put the Soviet Union in danger of subjugation. The battlefield was too far away from the center of the Soviet Union to shake the country of the Soviet Union In fact, it can be regarded as scabies at best.

But the Germans are different. According to the current speed of advance, I am afraid that it will take less than a month to hit the city of Moscow. At that time, they have to abandon the capital and have no confidence in their own prestige, the popular support and morale of the Soviet people. It is a huge blow, and this kind of situation must not be allowed to shake the foundation of the Bolshevik party's rule. Therefore, the Soviet Union must mobilize the power of the whole country to fight the Germans to the death!

Stalin looked at the members of the Politburo and said: "Comrades, our great Soviet Union is facing great danger. The German fascist attack was aggressive at the beginning, but as long as we have confidence, we will continue to fight and win the final victory." It still belongs to our great Soviet people, the great Bolshevik party!"

"In view of the current crisis situation, I propose that, in the name of the Political Bureau of the CPSU Central Committee, issue a war mobilization order to the people of the whole country. We should tell the people that the great socialist Soviet Union was brutally invaded by German fascists, and war broke out. , the entire Soviet people must throw themselves into this great Patriotic War!"

"In order to unify and command the power of the whole country and resist the invasion of German fascism, I also propose to establish the Supreme Command of the Soviet Union. Under the unified command of the Supreme Command, all military and civilian enterprises will immediately enter the wartime system, and all life in the country will enter the wartime state!" [

With a few words from Stalin, he set the tone for the general mobilization of the Soviet Union and entered the wartime track. It should be admitted that Stalin possessed a natural domineering and leadership temperament, and his vision was higher than that of other members of the Politburo of the Soviet Communist Party. The sudden and large-scale attack on the Soviet Union came with the determination to destroy the Soviet Union.If the Soviet Union did not do its best, it would still be dealing with local wars, and would not be able to defeat Hitler at all.

The members of the Political Bureau of the CPSU Central Committee who participated in the meeting adopted Stalin's proposal with orderly and stormy applause.Stalin raised his hands and the applause died down. "Comrades. We must be soberly aware that what we are facing is a fascist army armed to the teeth. For a long time to come, we will face countless difficulties, maybe a year. Maybe two years, or... . . . for a longer period of time, we'll all be living through years of constant fighting."

"Therefore, I ask all party members and comrades to stand on the front line of the Great Patriotic War. For those who waver, panic, fear the enemy, surrender to the enemy, and those who are ineffective in command, they must be punished with the most severe means. Once it is found out, it can be executed on the spot without trial. Comrade Beria’s lesson is enough to arouse the vigilance of our entire party. I also hope that comrades in the Politburo will bravely shoulder their own responsibilities. 』Responsibility, for the sake of our motherland, lead the people to bravely fight against fascism!"

Stalin's voice was a little hoarse, but his determination was unquestionable. What he said was very clear. Under the premise of resisting the German invasion, whoever played sideways, or had ulterior motives, and thought about things that should not be thought about, Don't blame me for killing people, no matter who you are!

The Politburo meeting was over, and the members of the Political Bureau of the CPSU Central Committee hurriedly left and entered their roles. The original intrigues and factional struggles became important, and there was a deep feeling in their hearts. A deep sense of crisis. After all, when the Soviet Union collapsed, the vested interest groups would also disappear in smoke. Everyone still understands the truth that "there will be no hair if there is no skin". Under the huge pressure of the German army, the Soviet Communist Party broke out. Unprecedented cohesion.

The sky was getting dark, and the tall walls of the Kremlin cast gloomy shadows. The light in the huge office was a little dim, but Stalin didn't turn on the lights. He buried himself in the darkness, mouth after mouth He was smoking his pipe, and the flickering red light from time to time reflected his worried and tired face.

Stalin was worried, deeply worried. The Germans attacked fiercely and quickly. In more than four hours, they actually advanced more than [-] kilometers on the territory of the Soviet Union. According to this speed, it would take less than a month. Moscow will be at war, and the Soviet army in the western border area will never be able to withstand the German attack. He knows very well what kind of troops are left in the western direction!

Petroshilov's move is certainly good, and it is the only feasible way at present. However, Stalin took a deeper look. Relying on the temporarily formed troops, it was France's way to counter the German army. Hitler even swept across the European continent and defeated the British and French allied forces. The British and American coalition forces could only hold on to a corner of the British Isles, and the defeat was a matter of time, which is enough to prove the combat effectiveness of the German army.

Hitler had already prepared and premeditated, maybe, a few years ago, he started to prepare for the war against the Soviet Union, but what about himself?Stalin shook his head in pain and annoyance, sighed heavily, and felt a sharp pain in his heart. Now it seems that it is a fatal mistake to transfer most of the troops to the east to target the Chinese Tang Qiuli and the Japanese Kwantung Army. mistake.

This mistake is enough to destroy the Soviet Union. If the more than 400 million elite troops in the East are still stationed on the Western Front, would Hitler do it rashly?Even if Hitler took the risk, the current battle situation would not be as bad as it is now. All of this was caused by Beria. Thinking of Beria, the anger in Stalin's heart burned uncontrollably , Burning him to death.

"Dingling!" Stalin pressed the electric bell on his desk, and a young officer in full armor walked in briskly without making any movement. It was obvious that he had undergone strict training. This was the Kremlin guard. Members, a personal guard belonging to Stalin, who also serve as a secret armed force, do things that are not convenient to hand over to the Cheka, or do things that are not visible. They are all young party members who are absolutely loyal to Stalin and dedicated to the leader. Not to mention loyalty, but to obey.

Stalin quickly wrote a few lines on a piece of letter paper, put it in an envelope, sealed it carefully, and only ordered, "Don't let anyone know, and immediately hand it over to the third deputy minister and cadre of the Central Organization Department." Comrade Chernenko, Director of the Censorship Bureau, remember, it must be handed over to him personally!"

The officer, after receiving the envelope, was as brisk as when he came, and disappeared in the office in an instant. Beria was reduced to a prisoner. The All-Soviet Cheka Committee, an extremely important institution, will cause chaos at the head of the group. My son, there is also Beria's influence in the committee. He has been operating in Cheka for many years, and his cronies and confidantes are all over various departments. The enemy is now, if it is not handled properly, there will be big troubles, and it will not be good. , their own life safety, will be threatened.

This is also the main reason why I did not publicly announce Beria's death sentence at the Politburo meeting, but I had to endure strong murderous intentions, and kept claiming that calling that guy a "comrade" was just for censorship, in order to stabilize the contract. There is no "chaos" in the card. Of course, handing over Beria to the military is to announce his death. I believe Petroshilov will get what he needs.

As for Chernenko, the third deputy head of the Organization Department of the CPSU Central Committee mentioned in the secret letter, and the director of the Cadre Inspection Bureau, he himself chose to be the "chairman" of the All-Soviet Elimination Committee. The Cadre Inspection Bureau, originally It is a special structure within the party, which shoulders the same responsibilities as the Cheka, but it is very low-key. It was a special organization that I set up to check and balance Beria. I didn't expect it to come in handy today.

Comrade Chernenko, the director, is more ruthless than Beria, but he is not bloodthirsty. It’s because Chernenko didn’t have any political ambitions, otherwise, with the heavy power of the Cadre Inspection Bureau, he would have sought a high position long ago, and he would have done better than Beria when he took over the burden of the All-Soviet Counter-Committee!

Chernenko will also understand the real intention of appointing him as the "chairman" of the All-Soviet Cheka Committee at a critical moment. Starting tomorrow, the entire Cheka system will be a bloodbath, and countless people will fall to the ground. But this is not something that Stalin is worried about. Chernenko can handle it well. He has the courage and courage!

What Stalin was most worried about was the eastern battlefield. Zhukov was at the critical moment of encircling and annihilating the Japanese Kwantung Army. He immediately withdrew his troops to eradicate the war in which the Japanese coveted the territory of the Soviet Far East. He was about to win the war, but because of the treachery of the Germans, they suddenly attacked and fell short. , Stalin hated it, but also regretted it, maybe, there will be no such good opportunity in the future?

There is also the Chinese Tang Qiuli, who will have a chance to take a breather and occupy Outer Mongolia again. As for the annexation of Manchuria and China's Inner Mongolia, judging from Stalin's current state of mind, it is more like a dream come true. [

Seeing that he is about to realize his long-cherished wish, stabilize the East, expand a large territory, and then spend great efforts to consolidate the West, watching the Germans and the British and American coalition forces on the British Isles, fighting to the death, the Soviet Union has been developing for several years , may not have the ability to compete with the Germans in Europe!

However, now everything is in vain, and the Eastern War was half-baked, so he was forced to withdraw. When he thought of this, Stalin's heart became panicked, and he couldn't breathe. In Stalin's heart, he hated Beria even more than he hated Hitler!
