Chapter 451: Conditions in the USSR
"Comrade General Secretary, comrades of the Commission, although the battle in the Mediterranean will continue for another month or two, the situation is already very clear, Germany and Italy have won the battle. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ info By the time the British Mediterranean Fleet withdrew, the outcome of the battle had already been decided. I think the whole situation of the war is also partially clear! β
Presenting a report to the Political Bureau of the Central Committee of the Bolshevik Party of the USSR was Comrade Kuznetsov, People's Commissar of the Red Navy and Commander-in-Chief of the Red Navy. He had just returned to the USSR with the Soviet Naval Observation Mission, aboard the battleship "Paris Commune".
Although he did not see the expected decisive battle of the fleet in the Mediterranean, Kuznetsov still felt that the trip was very fruitful.
"The war situation is clear?" Stalin smoked his pipe and was expressionless. "Is Germany going to win?"
"I don't know," Kuznetsov replied, "Comrade General Secretary, the future of the British Empire is now clear...... Its crown is about to fall! But who will get the crown in the end is still unclear. β
Stalin giggled and asked again: "Comrade Kuznetsov, which country do you think is most deserving of the lost crown of Britain?" β
"Soviet Union!" Kuznetsov replied categorically, "Only when the Soviet Union replaces Britain as the leading force in the world will it be possible for all mankind to be liberated in the 20th century." β
The statement of the People's Commissar of the Navy of the USSR actually stems from the internal documents of the Soviet Union Bolshevik Party, which could only be seen by quite high-ranking cadres at this time and space - in these internal documents, the Second World War was characterized as a "possible war for the liberation of mankind"!
The Bolshevik Party of the Soviet Union believed that as long as the Soviet Union joined and became the leading force, the nature of the war would undoubtedly be a war of human liberation, and that all mankind would be liberated in the 20th century, and that the legendary GC doctrine would be realized by 2000 years.
"Oh, I see." Stalin nodded, and then looked at the chairman of the Council of People's Commissars, Molotov. "Vyacheslav. Mikhailovich, what do you think? β
Molotov's brows furrowed slightly behind his gold-rimmed glasses, his mood seemed to be a little heavy, and when he heard Stalin's question, he thought for a moment, and then said: "Comrade General Secretary, what we can be sure of at present is that Britain will definitely lose its world hegemony, and the British Navy will lose to the naval and air forces of Germany and Italy in the Mediterranean. This is a decisive event! β
Molotov's opinion is representative that Britain lost not only 4 battleships and 1 aircraft carrier in the Mediterranean campaign, but a very important piece of the ocean!
"I think ......," Molotov paused for a moment, then said to Stalin slowly, "if we now feel that we are on the side of Germany and Italy, then the world war will be over in a few months." We will win, Germany and Italy. β
There is truth to his words!
Although the United States is the most industrially powerful country in the world, it does not have the strength to defeat the combination of Germany and the Soviet Union. If the USSR now officially entered the war as an ally of Germany, then Britain could only surrender, and the United States could only continue to play isolationism.
There is simply no possibility of millions of American GIs crossing the Atlantic, landing in France, and then challenging tens of millions of Socialist Revolutionary fighters armed to the teeth.
Stalin took a few puffs of his cigar, nodded and said: "As long as I declare tomorrow on Red Square that I will fight with Germany, the war will be won, it's as simple as that...... But is this a world revolution? β
Hearing Stalin's words, the hearts of the members of the Bolshevik Party and Government Bureau of the Soviet Union present were shocked -- it was now announced that there was no risk in fighting Britain together with Germany, and although there would not be much oil and water, it was better to be safe. It is difficult to say whether all mankind will be able to enter GCISM in 2000, but the comrades here who have already begun to experience the superiority of the GCIST system one step ahead will certainly not become revolutionary martyrs......
However, if the Soviet Union did not want to follow Germany in carrying out the world revolution, but wanted to join the side of Britain and the United States, then victory would be a defeat for the United States and the Soviet Union...... The big guy is about to be a revolutionary martyr!
"This is not a world revolution!" The first secretary of Ukraine, Nikita Khrushchev, was the first to speak, shaking his bald head and saying, "Because Germany is actually not a socialist country, this country has emperors, aristocrats, and capitalists!" Although the living conditions of the working people in Germany were relatively secure, it was at best reform capitalism, not socialism. β
Stalin nodded with satisfaction, this Khrushchev is not bad, a good comrade.
"Comrade Stalin," Molotov, seeing Stalin's expression, hurriedly followed up with his statement, gritting his teeth, "Germany is pseudo-socialism, which is something more harmful than capitalism, and if the pseudo-socialists are allowed to steal the leadership of the world revolution, then humanity will never have a chance to realize GCISM." β
Seeing that Molotov also made a statement, who else in the Politburo members present did not understand Stalin's thoughts? Follow Germany to fight a world war, of course, you can win lying down, but what about after winning?
Germany's victory in the war will certainly accelerate the integration of Europe, not only will many countries on the European continent become part of the German-led European Community, but even the defeated Britain will be integrated by Germany. After all, the British and German peoples are very close in blood, and the current German Emperor Wilhelm Sr.'s mother is the eldest princess of England, and his grandmother is still Queen Victoria - among all Queen Victoria's grandchildren, Kaiser Wilhelm is the eldest brother, and it seems not impossible to inherit his grandmother's position as the British monarch......
In addition, the Middle East, where many oil fields have been discovered, will certainly become a German sphere of influence. These major Middle Eastern countries, including Turkey, Iran and Iraq, are relatively pro-German, and Turkey among them is also very anti-Russian. Therefore, if Germany is going to enter the Middle East, it will be welcomed by all kinds of reactionaries and all kinds of leading parties.
Needless to say, the resource-rich African continent has always been the territory of "old Europe", which was divided between Britain, France, Germany, Belgium, Portugal, Italy, and Spain before World War I.
With the industrialization of Europe, the oil of the Middle East, and the various natural resources of Africa, the big brother of socialism in the future will definitely be Germany. And a country as great as the Soviet Union, with such a great leader as Stalin, can be willing to be a socialist second brother like a puffed bag?
Having figured out Stalin's thoughts, the comrades began to express their positions.
"Germany is obviously not a truly socialist country, and it is impossible for Germany to lead the people of the world to liberation."
"The Soviet Union had to lead the world revolution, which was a necessary condition for GCISM to be realized throughout the world."
"On the question of the leadership of the world revolution, we must not make concessions......"
The vast majority of the members of the Political Bureau have all finished speaking, but there is one comrade who has not spoken: Voroshilov, People's Commissar of National Defense.
Stalin just looked at him with a blank face, smoking his pipe one by one, and did not know how long it took before he heard Voroshilov speak slowly: "Germany, of course, is not a real socialist country. But judging by the situation of the Western Front and the Mediterranean campaign, Germany had a powerful army and air force. β
Others can irresponsibly sing high profiles, but Voroshilov, as the People's Commissar of Defense, did not dare to speak indiscriminately. This is a war with Germany! Isn't it a death to the Soviet Union's struggle to recover Western Belarus, right-bank Ukraine, and the Karelia region (formerly part of Finland), and now it has to fight against the invincible German army?
"Comrade Stalin," Voroshilov said very seriously, "with the current strength of the Red Army, it will be very difficult to defeat Germany." And if the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army loses its military struggle against Germany, our revolutionary cause will suffer a heavy blow. β
Hearing Voroshilov's statement, the members of the Political Bureau present, including Khrushchev, breathed a sigh in their hearts, but their expressions did not change at all.
"Well......" Stalin smoked his pipe, his brow furrowed slightlyβhe was not blaming Voroshilov, because Voroshilov was telling the truth. In fact, he also knew that he could not defeat Germany, and the reason why he questioned whether Germany was a socialist country at the meeting of the Political Bureau was just to find out the attitude of the members of the Political Bureau towards the Soviet Union and Germany. After all, the friendship between the USSR and Germany was initiated by Comrade Lenin......
"Under what circumstances can the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army achieve a decisive victory?" Stalin asked slowly.
"The United States enters the war!" Voroshilov said, "At the moment the United States is preparing for war, and it should be a matter of time before it enters the war." If the United States can enter the war first, then we may be able to enter the war when the United States and Germany are both defeated. β
"The United States entered the war first!" Stalin suddenly glanced at Molotov, "Tell Comrade Litvinov that this is a prerequisite for the USSR to participate in the war against Germany!" β
Molotov said: "As soon as I go back, I will send a telegram to Comrade Livinov. β
"You have to go to Germany," Stalin then said to Molotov, "and the Soviet Union wants to recover the four territories of the Baltics, Lithuania, Poland and Finland, which were formerly part of the Russian Empire." In addition, Iran, Afghanistan and India were liberated by the Soviet Red Army. This is the condition for the USSR and Germany to fight together! β
Stalin also put forward the conditions for the Soviet Union to enter the war on the side of Germany, but some of the conditions were quite harsh! He wanted to return the territories that the Russian Empire had lost to the First World War - the current Baltic States, the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, the Kingdom of Poland and the Republic of Finland!
This, of course, was unacceptable to Germany, since Estonia and Latvia had long been the Baltic states of the German Empire. Lithuania and Poland were German republicans, and Finland was a member of the European Community.
"Okay, I see what you mean." Molotov nodded, he knew that Stalin did not expect Germany to accept such a condition at all, he just wanted to enter into the war negotiations with Germany to ensure that the Soviet Union could immediately join the war as an ally of Germany when it wanted to.
