While the Joint Chiefs of Staff was struggling in vain for a dire prospect, the Red Army instructor corps, which was deployed within the US Army system and was training large quantities of Army units for the United States, was also holding secret meetings under the pretext of the party's democratic life meeting.

"Comrades, as the Axis forces are approaching step by step, the way out for the US Government has become more and more bleak," Brezhnev made a long report on the situation, "Judging from the information currently available and the situation reported by everyone, the confidence of middle- and lower-ranking officers and ordinary soldiers in the United States in winning the war is very insufficient, and the big bourgeoisie in power in the United States is still trying to whitewash the peace and fool the people, and as the Axis forces approach the United States, it will inevitably evolve into a fierce political turmoil." This political deception could not be sustained for long, and once the Japanese and German troops landed on the North American continent, the credibility of the Dewey government would be completely ruined, although the prestige of the regime was almost completely lost as the war progressed. This situation will evolve into a result revolution that we are all too familiar with! Such a revolution has happened twice in history! ”

Someone next to him immediately answered: "The Paris Commune and the October Revolution!" ”

"Yes, when the rotten regime of the country is about to fall with the invasion of foreign enemies, the people will surely rise up in revolt, and this spontaneous revolt will have two consequences: either the big bourgeois government will bow its knees to Germany, fulfill the harsh conditions, and repress it at home, which is the lesson of the Paris Commune; Or the consciousness of the masses to unite and drive out the invaders and establish a revolutionary regime, as was the experience of the October Revolution. Comrade Stalin taught us to strive for the latter result and to preserve the victorious gains of the American revolution as much as possible. Brezhnev glanced at everyone with his piercing eyes, "If the revolution breaks out in the United States and succeeds in gaining a foothold, it will be a sign of great inspiration for the proletariat of the whole world, an important sign of the rise of the world revolution, which will set off a wave of revolution all over the world and eventually affect Germany and Japan themselves." ”

The majority of the people were silent: the Soviets themselves were struggling, and didn't it seem too early to talk about a world revolution? What's more, what is the premise and basis for the outbreak of revolution in the United States? That is, without mature theoretical guidance and without a unified organization or political party, the United States ** was a standard revisionist and compromised party in the eyes of the Soviets, and it was not a revolutionary party at all, and it was impossible to lead the American people on the road of revolution.

However, there are also a few people who are eager to try: in any case, as long as the United States fails, the situation in North America will be in chaos, and this is the deepest and most extensive soil for revolution. Even if the revolution failed, it would be worth it as long as it could cause trouble for Japan and Germany, and buy time for the Soviets.

"The most striking point of the American revolution, by its peculiarities and the characteristics of its times, is that it does not have a mature theory and a reliable leadership," said Brezhnev, "but we have these things that we have and we have a mature and rich experience of struggle that we can pass on to the American comrades." Comrade Stalin instructed: We should discover activists and revolutionaries among the middle and lower rank officers with whom we can and contact them, help them grow up, and help them with the revolutionary ideas of the proletariat and the experience of armed struggle. It will be recalled that the leading comrades of the Soviet revolution were not particularly conspicuous before the success of the revolution, there was not a single high-ranking politician or officer of the old regime and the old system, Comrade Stalin and Molotov were the editors and writers of Pravda, Comrade Voroshilov was a worker at the boiler factory, Comrade Budyonny, although he served in the old army, was only a chairman of the soldiers' committee, a junior officer, and the real proletariat and revolutionary forces attached importance to being rooted in the grassroots. ”

General Chernyakhovsky frowned and asked: "Comrade Political Commissar, we had an agreement with the Americans that we could not carry out activities in the army, this"

"Comrade Regiment Commander is right, although we cannot openly engage in activities in the US ** team at present, it does not mean that we cannot have contact with US ** officers and soldiers, on the one hand, we must impart military knowledge to them in our work, and on the other hand, we must make friends with them, and we can understand the political tendencies and ideological dynamics of these figures through private chats and daily contacts, which is our advantageous condition; Secondly, the firm style, tenacious will, and military quality we have shown must also be seen by the beautiful people, and when the situation develops to an urgent level, they will definitely rely on and rely on us even more; Thirdly, due to the tense situation in the United States and the further extension of the homeland defense system, they have put forward more requests for instructor assistance, and the country has agreed to this request, and the second batch of personnel will arrive next month, numbering more than 300 people, all of whom are comrades with firm political positions and comprehensive military literacy, which will greatly enhance our strength; Finally, the Soviets had a number of sympathizers among the American working class, as well as a part of the Russian diaspora, and the party would organize and move through other channels; The party still has a little strength in the political and intellectual circles of the United States, and at the last moment, these forces will cooperate with our actions, in a word, we are not fighting alone, and the strength of the proletariat is very strong. ”

As soon as Brezhnev was encouraged by this, many people began to get excited: In the past few months, the instructor corps has won a good reputation for its own efforts and serious work attitude, and at the same time, many officers have also learned English spontaneously in their spare time, and their communication skills have improved rapidly. Although the Americans are now afraid of the idea of revolution, they believe that the American people will wake up when the Japanese and German butcher's knives and iron hooves set foot on the North American continent.

"Comrades, we must have confidence in the cause of the American revolution. The United States has a tradition of guns for everyone, which is a good basis for military and mobilization; The United States has a well-developed industrial and economic system and a vast territory, which are all indispensable material bases for resisting aggression; Although the Americans seem to be a little greedy for life and afraid of death, it is just a lack of confidence in the imperialist struggle for world hegemony, once the thoughts and motives are shifted to defend the country and rise to the height of the survival and continuation of the American nation, the soldiers will definitely become fearless" Although Chernyakhovsky does not fully agree with the idea of the country, he cannot disobey the idea of the supreme leader, and he believes that this is a good opportunity to be used, and if he succeeds, he can drag down and consume the power of the axis. Failure would not do the Soviets any harm.

"The North American continent was largely undevastated by the war, and it was a favorable battlefield for us to resist aggression and completely bury the Japanese and German invaders. More importantly, we rely on this battlefield to win every strength of the German fascists and increase the strength of the Soviets for the final counteroffensive and reconquest. We threw ourselves into the American revolution not only to help the American people, but also to help the people of the whole Soviet Union. Seeing that Chernyakhovsky's words had been recognized by many military cadres, Brezhnev summed up while the iron was hot: "Comrade Marx taught us: The proletariat can only finally emancipate itself by liberating all mankind, and the American revolution will be the great prelude to the world revolution!" ”
