When Stalin received the telegram from the Far Eastern Front, it was the most anxious time in his life. x23us. com is the fastest updated
How anxious are you? I was so worried that I even forgot to give a televised speech!
So, why the fuss? Because Stalin was tricked by the German intelligence department, or in other words, he was tricked by the German intelligence department!
In fact, as early as the beginning of this year, Stalin had already had a premonition that Germany would definitely attack the Soviet Union. It was precisely because of this that he would not hesitate to betray the new regiment, admit the Japanese military occupation of the Far East and half of Siberia, and insist on fighting with Japan. Secretly signing a non-aggression treaty, all this is to prepare for a full-scale war with Germany!
Stalin understood that Japan was nothing more than a mustard disease to the Soviet Union. Even if the entire Far East and half of Siberia were lost, it would not kill the Soviet Union, because most of the Far East and Siberia were barren lands, Khabarovsk and Komsomolsk. Although there is some heavy industry, it does not account for a large proportion in the entire heavy industry system of the Soviet Union!
The lifeline of the Soviet Union's heavy industry lies in the Ural region! So Germany is the real threat to the Soviet Union!
Because the Urals are close to Europe and are connected to the European continent by several railways and more roads, the German army can follow the railways and roads all the way to the Urals. Once the Ural heavy industrial zone is occupied, the Soviet Union will be finished, so Stalin is more Everyone knows that Germany is the real threat to the Soviet Union, Japan is not!
Because it is impossible for Japan to reach the Urals with a Siberian railway!
After realizing this, Stalin made serious preparations for a full-scale war with Germany.
The first step was to secretly sign a non-aggression treaty with the Japanese government to stabilize the eastern border of the new group, even if they did not hesitate to give up their sovereignty and betray Xu Rui! The second step was to dispatch the Cheka's ace female spy to steal the German high command's entire plan for the war against the Soviet Union. Unfortunately, the Cheka's ace female spy fell into the trap.
To put it more bluntly, the Cheka's ace female spy not only failed to make the head of the Intelligence Division of the German High Command fall under her skirt, but she herself was fascinated by him and fell into a coma. A piece of false information was stolen from the German high command and sent back to the Kremlin.
After receiving the information, Stalin felt like he had found a treasure and immediately made targeted deployments!
Therefore, when the German army suddenly launched a large-scale attack on the Soviet Union at the end of September, Stalin was immediately confused, because according to the intelligence stolen by the Cheka, the German army would not launch a large-scale attack on the Soviet Union until June next year, which was nine months short. For many months, the Soviet army had not had time to complete many preparations, especially the military reform!
At this time, the Soviet army was in the most chaotic period since its founding, but the German army attacked at this time.
In just two days, the German army had already advanced hundreds of kilometers towards the Soviet border, and the Southwest Front Army could not even organize a decent resistance!
So these days, Stalin was really worried.
After reading the telegram, Stalin really had no interest in dealing with matters in the Far East.
Because compared with the current crisis facing the Soviet Union, this dispute in the Far East is nothing at all. Why should such a trivial matter be reported to the high command? Stalin thought slanderously in his heart, but he had forgotten that it was he who had told Cherev that if Xu Rui was involved, all matters, big or small, must be reported to the headquarters for him to handle personally.
"This Xu Rui really doesn't make people worry." Stalin thought to himself as he held the telegram.
As a politician, Stalin did not feel any compunction about betraying the New Regiment. If he did it again, he would still do it without hesitation, because compared with the national interests of the Soviet Union, the life and death of the New Regiment was nothing at all. But for Xu Rui personally, Stalin still felt a little guilty.
No matter what, Xu Rui helped the Soviet Red Army a lot.
Without Xu Rui, the outcome of the Soviet-Finnish war would have been much worse!
At that moment, Stalin turned his attention to Zhukov, who came to report on his work, and asked: "Comrade Zhukov, you have a good personal relationship with Comrade Xu Rui. Tell me, how should this matter be handled?"
Zhukov was a little embarrassed. From a personal perspective, of course he was willing to help Xu Rui, but his reason told him that he must consider the issue from the standpoint of the Soviet Union, because the person sitting in front of him at this time was no longer the Comrade Stalin of the past. Comrade Stalin's prestige and status within the party have reached an unprecedented level.
If you accidentally say something wrong, Tukhachevsky and Yegorov are role models! The execution was just one word from him!
At that moment, Zhukov said in his heart, Davarisi, I can only apologize, and then said to Stalin: "Comrade Stalin, I think the Chinese people should be expelled. If they are left in the Amur Territory, this move will definitely It will provoke Japanese protests and even retaliation. Now the Soviet Union has gone into full-scale war with Germany. If it continues to have bad relations with Japan, it may fall into a desperate situation of being attacked from both sides!"
From a logical point of view, there is no problem with what Zhukov said.
Stalin looked deeply at Zhukov and asked: "Do you really think so?"
"Yes." Zhukov nodded and said, "In my eyes, the interests of the Soviet Union are above all else!"
"Of course the interests of the Soviet Union are above all else." Stalin nodded and said, "But what you just thought is only half right."
"Really?" Zhukov said in surprise, "Comrade Stalin please make it clear."
Stalin nodded and continued: "Allowing Chinese citizens to stay in the Amur Territory to take refuge will certainly anger the Japanese government and attract protests, but the Japanese government will never start another war with the Soviets because of this. On the contrary, if the Soviets Under pressure to expel the Chinese, Japan may actually go to war with the Soviets again!"
"Comrade Stalin, what's the reason for this?" Zhukov really didn't understand now and asked blankly.
Stalin pondered: "About this, we have to look at it from two points. One is the national characteristics of the Japanese. If you have carefully analyzed the Russo-Japanese War and this Far East Battle, you will find that the national characteristics of the Japanese are similar to Just like dogs, they are typical bullies. If you act softer, they will immediately pounce on you like a wolf. But if you act tough enough, they will have some scruples and only dare to stand at a distance and face you. You grinned."
Zhukov thought for a moment, nodded and said: "It seems true that whether it was the Russo-Japanese War during the Tsarist Russia period or the Far East War that ended not long ago, we were too restrained in the face of Japanese provocations and did not We fought back resolutely and forcefully at the first opportunity, and this was how the Japanese later intensified their efforts!"
"This is just one of them." Stalin put the pipe into his mouth and took a deep breath, then removed the pipe and said, "The second point is the main reason. It is no longer profitable for Japan to go to full-scale war with the Soviet Union. Amur The border states are too small to be worthy of the Japanese government’s war, and the bitter cold of Siberia is even less worthy of war.”
After a pause, Stalin continued: "So, if Japan goes to war with the Soviet Union again at this time, it will completely be a favor to Germany! Although the Japanese government has just decided to join the Axis Alliance, it must be done for Germany. It is absolutely impossible to sacrifice so many interests."
Zhukov nodded and said: "So, it won't be long before the Japanese war machine will be turned on again, but the target of the attack will definitely not be the Soviets, but targets with richer resources, weaker defenses, and more profitable targets, that is, Southeast Asia. , Comrade Stalin, am I right?"
Stalin smiled, nodded, and said, "That's all right."
While the two were talking, the female secretary Anna came in again and said: "Comrade Stalin, the Japanese Minister in Moscow wants to see you and protest against the Far East Front's sheltering Chinese civilians."
"No," Stalin replied calmly, "Just say I'm busy and don't have time."
"Okay." Anna nodded and asked, "Then how should the Far Eastern Front respond?"
Stalin glanced at Zhukov, smiled and said: "Tell the Far East Front troops to be more polite to Chinese comrades, especially our old Soviet friend Comrade Xu Rui."
"Okay." Anna nodded, turned and left.
…
In the Far East, the Soviet Union Hasansky.
Cherev had already invited Xu Rui and his party to Hasansky's military camp, and entertained them with good wine and meat.
But this was not enough to stop Xu Rui's mouth. Seeing Xu Rui getting up to leave, Cherev quickly dissuaded him: "Davarishi, Davarishi, don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry, it's not far from the Far East to Moscow." Thousands of miles, even with radio waves, communication takes time, so don't rush, don't rush, come on, drink this glass of vodka first."
Xu Rui said: "Okay, considering that we have known each other for such a long time, I will wait another five minutes, but only five minutes."
"Okay, just five minutes." Cherev naturally said anything was fine, and nodded repeatedly and said, "Let's drink first."
This time, he only waited less than two minutes for the telegram from Moscow to come over. After receiving the telegram from Moscow, Chelev could not help but be overjoyed. He rushed over with the telegram and said to Xu Rui: "Dava Rishi, let me just say that the Soviet will not care about the feelings of Chinese comrades, so what, let me say it?"
"Pull him down quickly." Xu Rui said angrily, "What did Stalin say?"
Cherev's face immediately darkened, and he said, "Davalish, when it comes to leaders, your tone should be more respectful."
"Quickly pull him down, that's your leader, not our Chinese." Xu Rui said, "What did Stalin say?"
