Struggle in Soviet Russia

The galloping train was moving fast on the tracks, considering that it had just passed Ryazan half an hour ago, and Moscow was right in front.

In the carriage specially arranged by Comrade Stalin, Victor was sitting on a leather chair with a cigarette in his mouth, looking out the window blankly.

It is snowing outside the car, and the snow is not too small. Ice crystals have already condensed on the car windows, and from the car windows, everything in the world is white.

Behind Victor, Sophia was massaging his shoulders, and on the desk two steps away, there was a document, which was the battlefield intelligence from Polotsk that had just been received.

Over the past period of time, the Supreme Command has never stopped arguing about the combat plan in the direction of Belarus. Comrade Zhukov tried his best to take command of the Belarusian campaign. He received support from the General Staff.

What is rare is that Comrade Rokosovsky, who has always been weak, was finally tough on this issue. In order to maintain the command of the Belarusian First Front, he came up with two combat plans, but even so. , He still lost in this dispute.

Yes, Comrade Stalin supported Rokosovsky in principle, but this support is based only on political considerations, and to a large extent, it cannot determine the final military arrangement.

In addition, Comrade Zhukov also came up with a convincing battle plan. Moreover, considering his record and personal prestige, this battle plan was supported by the vast majority of the Supreme Command.

Comrade Zhukov’s combat plan is to launch a pincer offensive against Minsk. The flanking attacks include auxiliary offensives launched from the northeast via Polotsk and Vitebsk, and the main offensives launched from the southeast via Bobruysk. .

Its combat objective was to completely smash the German Zlobin-Bobruysk military cluster. To put it bluntly, it was through this battle to completely annihilate the German central army group and pave the way for the Soviet army to liberate the entire Belarus.

According to the estimates of the General Staff, once this combat plan is successfully implemented, the Soviet army will be expected to rush to the Baltic Sea coast, East Prussia and Poland borders, thereby liberating the entire territory of Belarus, and even pushing the front line to the 1940 border. .

There is no doubt that Comrade Zhukov’s combat plan is bolder and more ambitious than the two plans proposed by Comrade Rokosovsky. Therefore, the Supreme Command, including Comrade Stalin, accepted the General Staff. Zhukov’s suggestion put the leadership of this battle in the hands of Comrade Zhukov.

The battle was officially launched on November 9th and it has been going on for more than a week. From the perspective of this military situation, the confident Comrade Zhukov is now too optimistic. Bagrami, who is in charge of commanding the operations of the 1st Baltic Front Army. General Young suffered heavy losses in the attack in the direction of Polotsk, and his troops suffered heavy losses.

The main offensive unit that launched the offensive in the direction of Bobruísko also did not make much progress. The German defense in this direction appeared extremely strong, and the Soviet offensive edge was smashed.

Comrade Stalin had already read this report. However, to Victor’s surprise, he did not seem to be so angry, and there was no sign that anyone would be held accountable. He just asked for a telegram to be sent to Zhukov and asked if he To continue this offensive.

Well, Victor admitted that he couldn't figure out Comrade Stalin's thoughts at all. This leader comrade seemed a bit nervous, always furious about things that were not worth anger, but calmly scary about things that should be angry.

Victor has a good habit of not trying to figure out the leader who is not able to figure it out, and doing his own internal affairs honestly, maintaining a high degree of consistency with the leader in his position, so that he will not make mistakes. .

Thinking of these annoying things in my heart, the door of the carriage was knocked suddenly, because the train was still in the process of moving, so the sound was not very clear, but Sophia heard it, and she hurriedly took a step back. Victor moved a little apart, and at the same time said for Victor, "Come in."

The door of the carriage with the white curtain was pushed open from the outside, and a bald head walked in from the outside.

Seeing the person coming, Victor hurriedly stood up, pinched the cigarette in his hand in the ashtray, and smiled and said, "Comrade Poskrebeshev, why are you here?"

The visitor was the great secret of Comrade Stalin, Comrade Boskrebeshev. He held the door handle of the compartment door in one hand and did not enter the compartment. He just stood at the door, nodded towards Victor, and said: "Comrade Stalin wants to meet you."

"Now?" Victor turned his head subconsciously and looked outside the car window.

Last night, he chatted with Comrade Stalin in the middle of the night. After that, he slept for five hours. When he got up in the morning, he went over and took a look. At that time, Comrade Stalin had not yet fallen asleep. It was not noon now, didn't Comrade Stalin have a rest?

"It's now," said Comrade Poskrebeshev, nodding.

Victor dared not delay any longer, he took the military cap from the desk, put it on his head upright, and walked quickly to the door of the carriage.

"Comrade Stalin has not rested," Comrade Poskrebeshev whispered at the door, "I will try to stay in his carriage as little as possible later, so that he can rest early."

"I know," Victor nodded.

It is no wonder that Comrade Stalin has absolute trust in Boskrebeshev, and the loyalty of this comrade secret is not questionable.

Following Boskrebeshev, Victor crossed a carriage and went directly to Comrade Stalin's special carriage.

When the two entered the carriage of Comrade Stalin, Victor saw him sitting behind his desk, wearing glasses, smoking a pipe while carefully looking at a document in front of him. Victor’s eyes were sharper, plus The angle is good. He almost recognized it at a glance. The document he submitted was a report on the implementation of the "Party Committee" system.

To be honest, Victor has been quite proud recently. The report he submitted was given absolute attention by Comrade Stalin. On the way back from Tehran to Moscow, within a few days, Comrade Stalin had almost everything When I have free time, I will look through this report.

This is not "watching" anymore, but studying very carefully.

If it is placed in later generations, Victor’s report is not a big deal. After all, this system is being implemented in China, but in today’s Soviet Union, this is an absolute initiative. No one has proposed it before, even if it is Comrade Lenin, the founder of the Soviet Union, did not put forward such a line of thought.

Hearing the movement at the door of the carriage, Comrade Stalin turned his head and took a look. His gaze fell from above his eyes and fell straight on Victor. Then, he didn't say anything, just turned to a chair opposite the desk. Pointed.

Victor hurriedly took off his cap, walked over quickly, and settled down on that chair.

Comrade Stalin closed the document in front of him, then opened the drawer in front of him, took out a portfolio from it, and threw it directly in front of Victor.

He pointed to the portfolio, which obviously meant for Victor to take a look.

Victor leaned up, took the portfolio, took out the files inside, and looked at the cover.

This is a report submitted by the Binhai Army Group, which has the seal of the Army Group and the date of issuance.

Victor opened the file and browsed the file as quickly as possible.

The content reported in this report is about the losses suffered by the Littoral Army during the battle on the coast of the Sea of ​​Azov. It seems that there are obviously no issues that are too worthy of attention.

After reading the document from beginning to end, Victor was a little confused, but he didn't ask anything. He just closed the document and put it back in the document bag.

"Kalmyk Volunteer Cavalry Regiment, have you seen it?" Comrade Stalin put the pipe aside, looked at Victor, and asked.

Victor nodded and said: "I know this rebel army. Its members are Kalmykians, most of them are young people from the Kalmyk Republic, and some are from Belgrade, Paris, and Prague. "

The Kalmykian problem is an old problem left over from history in the Alliance.

After the victory of the October Revolution, as a minority, the Kalmyks’ position was problematic. During the Civil War, a large number of Kalmyks joined the army of the white bandits, similar to those of Denikin and Wrangel. , There are a large number of Kalmyks.

After the end of the civil war, Kalmyk established an autonomous prefecture. Moscow's purpose was to soften the Kalmyk’s tendency to separate, hoping to solve this historical problem.

However, during the final collectivization of agriculture, the Kalmyk’s centrifugal tendency swelled again due to many problems such as religion and customs, and a series of rebellions took place. This also indicated that Moscow’s national policy was actually in force. Kalmyk failed.

After the outbreak of the Soviet-German War, the Germans took advantage of this contradiction. They gathered a large number of Kalmyks who had fled outside the alliance to organize various propaganda activities. When the Germans captured the Kalmyk region two years ago, The policy it pursues is not as cruel as it is to the Ukrainians. They privatized the land in the Kalmyk region and allowed the Kalmyks to re-envelop Buddhism and restore the Kalmyk language. As a result, the German army also received the support of the Kalmyks.

Because of this, when the Soviet army retakes the Kalmyk region, so many Kalmyks will join the German army.
