Travel through the Qing Dynasty and become emperor

Chapter 1199 Standing by the Giant's Side

Standing on the viewing platform of the Lenin Mausoleum, people standing here with a good perspective and a high position can easily see everything on the Red Square below clearly, while those below need to look up to see here.This may be the advantage of being in a high place.

The famous Red Square was full of people at this time, and red flags and huge portraits of Lenin could be seen everywhere. When a figure appeared on the viewing platform of Lenin's Mausoleum, an earth-shattering explosion erupted in the huge square. Cheers.The high-pitched voice went straight into the sky, which not only made Vasily full of emotion, but who would know how many open and hidden arrows there were under this noisy background?

"How does it feel to stand here?" Standing in front of Vasily, Stalin waved lightly to the cheers of tens of thousands of people on the Red Square, and said without looking back: "It's the first time I stand here. How does it feel?"

At first, Vasily was not sure who Stalin was talking to. He looked around and saw that there were only four people standing beside him: Stalin, Vasilevsky, Molotov, and Vorosi. Love.It seemed that Stalin had no need to talk to these three people. The only possibility was that he was talking to himself.

"I don't feel anything." Vasily shrugged and replied: "In my opinion, high places have high scenery, but there are also high crises. In such a place where everyone is watching, a person's every move must be very careful. , Be extra careful, if you don’t handle it properly, you will fall into the abyss forever. Hey, this feeling of being in constant panic makes people shudder.”

"Come to the front." After listening to Vasily's words, Stalin nodded in satisfaction, and after Vasily stood beside him, he continued: "Your statement is very reasonable, but it is too pedantic. Well, Your idea may be born out of the "non-gong" or "moderate" in Chinese history? Who knows, it is not a good thing anyway. The life of a person is only a few dozen years. If you don’t grasp the opportunities in the world, and you are afraid to move forward. Or you are limited by the benevolence of a woman, you are compassionate all day long, and you don’t know that there are blood and tricks in this world. Then such a person will live in vain. What's so wonderful about it? Maybe, as you said, high places are full of dangers all the time, and if you lose your mind, you may fall into a place of eternal doom. There will be no regrets.”

Standing beside Stalin, Vasily was speechless, but Vasilevsky and others beside them were stunned. The Stalin in front of them was obviously completely different from the one they usually knew.

"But now everything is over." Stalin continued with a sigh: "As you said, the heights are full of dangers. Maybe I won't have to enjoy this kind of excitement anymore. Oh, look, our army is here, How mighty and majestic, hehe, now I regret it a bit, Tukhachevsky was definitely a modern military genius who never came out of the world, the most rare thing is that he is as pedantic as Comrade Lenin, otherwise”

"There is nothing else." Vasily interrupted suddenly: "You have obviously made a big mistake in dealing with Comrade Tukhachevsky. Judging from his character, there is no need for you to deal with him." He is a talented man without the slightest ambition. He should have been your best comrade-in-arms, but your jealousy made you lose your mind, turning an arm that could have been relied on into a dagger with deadly venom, Envy is the most ruthless poison in the world."

Vasily's merciless words made Stalin frowned involuntarily. If in the past, someone dared to speak to him like this, there would be only one consequence, and that would be to add a new one to Beria's execution list. name.But today's situation is different. It is far from easy to get rid of Vasily, an ordinary-looking young man.

"Om" Amidst the huge roar, twelve fighter planes in a swallowtail formation flew over the Red Square. This is the air force unit undergoing inspection, and the battle number belongs to the No.19 Army Air Force.

As if shocked by the roar of the fighter planes, Stalin's burly body trembled slightly, and after a moment of silence, he said sadly: "I haven't seen you for a few years, I can't imagine that these old guys are still so strong, it looks like Beria They are still taken care of in every possible way, but I don’t know if they will be lenient with Beria.”

Following Stalin's gaze, Vasily glanced at the reviewing team on the Red Square, and saw two rows of veterans walking majestically behind a phalanx of female soldiers, whether it was Tukhachevsky or the others Who will it be?

Vasily was sitting on a soft sofa, with a stack of newspapers laid flat on his folded legs. The bright lights in the room splashed on the newspapers, and a string of Russian letters was impressively displayed on the slightly drooping headlines. Pravda, dated November 11, is obviously the paper of today.

"Go to bed early." Gilnilova, who was wearing a white pajamas, came in from the outside, sat down beside Vasily, looked at the newspaper on his lap and said, "When I get up early tomorrow, I have to go to see Tuhache Comrade Vowski, after all, he just took office and we can't be rude."

Vasily did not speak. He flipped through the newspaper in his hand, and asked casually but sarcastically: "How about the personnel adjustment of your safety committee today? I heard that Comrade Tukhachevsky's adjustment is very strong this time. I'm afraid you don't have enough manpower there, right?"

Gilnilova nodded. She undoubtedly knows these things very well, because she participated in the reorganization work meeting of the National Security Council today. Fowski almost came to a big change.The original First General Administration, which was in charge of foreign espionage and intelligence work, and the Second General Administration, which was in charge of internal intelligence, anti-subversion and anti-espionage work, merged into the current First General Administration. The Communications Management Bureau and the Special Case Investigation Division, Activity Experience Analysis Division, and National Communications Division among the five independent divisions are also assigned to the First General Administration.The new Director General was Kryuchkov.On the basis of the original Fourth and Fifth General Administrations, the newly established Second General Administration merged the Military Administration and Police Administration of the original seven administrations and the Security Department of the five independent departments.The new director is Gilnilova.The newly established Third General Administration merged the original Administration Bureau, Personnel Administration and the Archives Registration Office among the five independent departments.The new director is an unknown little man Plekhanov.

This time, Tukhachevsky's adjustment of the National Security Council can be described as a big fanfare, and the organizational structure of the original committee has undergone tremendous changes.Although in terms of classification, this originally powerful organization has been reduced a lot, but in fact, the powers of various departments have increased a lot, especially the first and second general bureaus.Now the First General Bureau, headed by Kryuchkov, covers all the internal and external espionage and counter-espionage work of the Soviet Union, and even includes the development of new espionage technology.Compared with him, although the scope of power held by the Second General Bureau controlled by Gilnilova is smaller, its actual power is much greater than that of the First General Bureau.You must know that in the original institutional system of the National Security Council, the Fourth General Administration, as the General Administration of Frontier Forces, has always been a very important department. organization.As for the Fifth General Administration, it is the core body of the National Security Council and the ideological heart of the Security Council.In fact, it is the Secret Police Headquarters whose mission is to "suppress all reactionary elements and reactionary activities from home and abroad". It specializes in dealing with various political opponents.Compared with the first and second administrations, the scope of authority of the third administration is smaller, and many of its main responsibilities are limited to logistics and personnel work.

The comprehensive reform of the National Security Council has demonstrated the hatred of the new generation of leadership of the CPSU Central Committee headed by Tukhachevsky towards the secret police force during Stalin's time.After his lucky comeback this time, Tukhachevsky changed his previous style and immediately launched a comprehensive clean-up of the complete set of "family properties" that belonged to Stalin and Beria. In this clean-up, Beria The National Security Council controlled by it is naturally the brunt.It turned out that those people who were deeply valued by Beria were arrested last night by the "law enforcement team" temporarily dispatched by the No.19 Army, and they were all thrown into prison. They were charged with "secretly engaging in reactionary activities that undermine the Soviet revolution." Early this morning , most of these people were secretly executed after a hasty trial.

Tukhachevsky and others undoubtedly trusted Vasily, and Vasily got the news of this plan just after Stalin was put under house arrest yesterday afternoon.At first he was terrified by this. Isn't this a replica of Stalin's purge policy?It's just that it was the purge of the army generals by the secret police at the beginning, but now it's replaced by the purge of the secret police by the army.

Vasily hypocritically raised objections to the plan of Tukhachevsky and others, and even had an unpleasant quarrel with Tukhachevsky and others for this.However, his opposition had no effect in the end. As of this evening, in just one day, more than [-] people in the city's secret prisons had been secretly shot. Most of these people were elite members of the National Security Council.
