Age of Rebirth

For Molotov, Stalin absolutely trusted him. Among the important members of the Central Committee of the CPSU, he was the only one who had been fighting side by side with him and had no hesitation at every critical stage of the bloody struggle among factions within the CPSU. Standing by his side, he did many hidden things for himself that could not be put on the table, including cutting off Molotov, a political opponent, and Stalin adopted an attitude of absolute trust. After years of political struggle, the fate of the two people has become closely related. Linked together, not divided.

In this regard, even the most favored former "Chairman" of the Soviet Cheka, Beria, who is now missing, and Marshal Petroshilov, the current chief of staff, are not as good as, Without this treatment, Stalin could openly discuss all kinds of things with Molotov, no matter whether it was upright or despicable, neither of them had any psychological barriers.

Moreover, Stalin admired Molotov's talent and mind very much, and handed over diplomacy and even government affairs to Molotov. It's done very beautifully. Now, this close comrade-in-arms and hard-core confidant, the wise Molotov keeps winking at himself. Obviously, he has a better idea in his heart. However, it is not appropriate to say it on such an occasion!

Stalin suppressed the urge to scold General Badchenko, but his tone became much more stern, and said: "Comrade Badchenko, you must always remember your responsibility to defend Moscow. The troops in your hands are for This goal exists. Three days later, I will go to the positions of the Moscow Military District with some comrades from the Politburo to inspect. I hope you can reassure the comrades of the Politburo. Even if the German army is approaching the city of Moscow, Your troops are also capable of blocking the German army on the outskirts of Moscow!"

"Yes, Comrade Stalin!" General Badchenko.Sensing the anger of Comrade Stalin, he quickly replied, regretting secretly in his heart, what he was doing in such a limelight, and felt that such an answer was not enough to express his determination. "All commanders and fighters in the Moscow Military District will keep your order in mind, and will never let the iron heels of German fascism step into Moscow, even if they sacrifice their lives, they will not hesitate!" He continued.

but.How to open the passage to the European battlefield for Vasilevsky's troops?Is there any other solution? General Badchenko sat down in a daze. At this time, Molotov quickly wrote a line of words in his notebook and tore it off.handed over to Stalin.

Stalin opened it and said a few simple words, "Comrade Stalin, please put aside the issue of the Outer Mongolia Front Army for now and concentrate on studying the issue of the Far East Front Army. After the meeting is over, I have something important to discuss with you in secret! , about the issue of the Far East Front Army. In my personal opinion, rescue is more appropriate!"

That is to say, Molotov has the qualifications and power to clarify his point of view straightforwardly and suggest that the leader change the theme of the meeting, nothing more.Molotov was very smart. He passed the note secretly. In doing so, he could not only avoid making the issue public, but also ensure the prestige of Comrade Stalin. He was good at killing two birds with one stone.

After reading this note, Stalin showed an obvious relaxed expression on his face. Despite what Molotov said, he couldn't figure it out at all, and he didn't know that he was going to have a secret talk with him. What, but, for some reason, Molotov's note had such magical power. Stalin felt that Molotov had a very good solution to the dilemma encountered by the Outer Mongolian Front Army. [

However, Stalin still felt uncomfortable. The obstacles that the Chinese Tang Qiuli had set up for the Outer Mongolian Front Army had to be put on hold for the time being. The issue of the Far East Front Army had to be brought to the table again, and he felt a pang of sadness in his heart.

Stalin was silent for a moment, then said: "Comrades, in view of the fact that the problems encountered by the Outer Mongolia Front Army are very complicated and require us to make a more prudent decision, therefore, we will put it on hold for now. Next, we will return to the issue of the Far East Front Army!"

The leaders of the Soviet party, government and military who attended the meeting were stunned for a while. The issue of the Outer Mongolian Front Army was still pending. How could it be brought back to the issue of the Far Eastern Front Army? Comrade Stalin’s behavior today is very abnormal!

The issue of the Far East Front Army seems to be very simple and not complicated. It is a question of whether to save or not. However, the simple choice involves the future and destiny of the Soviet Union.

After Stalin raised the question, everyone remained silent. In fact, silence is also an attitude. Whatever Comrade Stalin was hesitating about, we were hesitant about. The final decision is still in the hands of the leader.

It can be said that the fate of more than 100 million soldiers of the Far Eastern Front was completely changed by a note from Molotov.

Originally, in Stalin's consideration, the troops of the Far East Front Army were not to be rescued. The reason was very simple and cruel. All previous efforts were a waste of time.

Stalin also clearly knew that sooner or later the German army would approach the city of Moscow. The Moscow Military Region could guarantee to prevent the German army from entering the city within a certain period of time. Only Moscow can avoid falling. Therefore, several front troops in the Far East are the only and most reliable cards in the hands of Stalin.

Under such circumstances, if Ren dared to let several front troops in the Far East fall into the long-term entanglement with the Japanese army again, of course, Stalin's heart was absolutely painful. After repeated weighing and thinking, he could not sleep all night. If the Outer Xing'anling Front Army and the Baikal Front Army did not turn around to rescue the Far East Front Army, then Zhukov's troops would be wiped out, and the elite troops of more than one million people would be eaten up by the Japanese one by one. How could Stalin Not heartbreaking distress.

And that Zhukov, the general whom Stalin admired the most, was in charge of an independent campaign direction, and Stalin was also the most at ease. When he decided to abandon the Far Eastern Front Army, Stalin gave a top-secret order to the commander-in-chief of the Air Force, General Kostadinov. , "Before the Far Eastern Front is about to be annihilated, send the best transport pilots, the best fighter pilots, and bring the commander, Comrade Zhukov, back to Moscow!"

This order was placed in the head of General Kostadinov, the commander-in-chief of the Air Force. Even Molotov and Marshal Petroshilov, the chief of the general staff, did not know about it. Among them, Zhukov was rescued, and he was General Zhukov, ready to see a new position, the commander and political commissar of the newly formed Moscow Front Army after integrating the troops of various military regions in the European direction.

The only task of the Moscow Front, which Stalin envisioned, was to defend Moscow and establish a defense line in Moscow to block the German attack on the front line of Moscow. He believed that only Zhukov had this ability. The current commander of the Moscow Military District General Badchenko, a member of the Communist Party, obviously does not have the ability and talent to turn the tide.

However, it is undoubtedly a very painful decision to give up the Far Eastern Front Army, which has more than one million troops and has been trained in the Japanese Kwantung Army for several years. , This is also the reason why Moscow did not reply for a long time after Zhukov sent an urgent telegram.

In the face of the fierce offensive of the German army and the collapse of the Soviet army, Stalin also considered giving up Moscow and moving the capital. Doing so may relieve the huge pressure facing the Soviet army. However, moving the capital there is the most difficult task. The problem to be solved is that the cities in the European part of the Soviet Union are all within the attack range of the German army, and none of them are safe. Maybe the capital has just moved here, and the Germans will take this place as a must-take target.

The European part has no place to stand, and the Asian part of the Soviet Union, what about the vast land? In the dead of night, Stalin locked himself in the room, took a magnifying glass, and carefully looked at the cities in the Asian part. , For example, Kurgan, Novosibirsk, Kemerovo, and even Irkutsk, are all good wartime bases. [

Not only is it far away from the flames of war in Europe, it avoids the offensive edge of the German army, and it can command the war against the German army stably. With the Ural Mountains and the Tannu Mountains, these two natural barriers, the Germans cannot beat them. However, Stalin finally gave up. With this in mind, once the capital is moved and Moscow falls to Hitler, the blow to the confidence of the Soviet military and civilians will be absolutely heavy.

Of course, this is not the main reason. The decisive reason for Stalin not moving the capital was because of one person——Tang Qiuli, the vice chairman of the Chinese Civil Affairs Commission, who controlled the largest armed group in the Republic of China.

Stalin even thought angrily, "What's wrong with me, how could I have thought of moving the capital to the Far East, and put it under the nose of any despicable, cunning, ruthless, greedy and capable Chinese, Stalin can imagine Got it, once the wartime companion capital of the Soviet Union moved to the eastern region, the Chinese would come to the city as soon as they woke up, and they would soon become Tang Qiuli's captives.

In Stalin's mind, Hitler and Tang Qiuli were the same hateful and terrible enemies. Tang Qiuli was even more on Stalin's list of curses than Hitler, even though the lunatic German head of state was fighting the Soviet Union Well, Hitler knew it clearly, and Tang Qiuli did all his tricks, for example, the current dilemma and threat to the Outer Mongolian Front Army.
