"Ivan?"

Seeing Qin Jian, Kuibyshev's face changed suddenly. But he Bi Jing was the minister, and the secretary said just now that he was just smuggling liquor, so he quickly regained his composure and asked, "Director Mir, is there anything wrong with me?" ”

The panic at that moment could not hide Qin Jian's eyes, he came this time to startle the snake, so he explained his intention very crisply: "Minister Kuibyshev, in the morning we caught a group of smugglers from China at the railway station in the eastern suburbs, and several of them are officials of your Planning and Economic Commission, and I suspect that they are Trotskyists hiding in the party. ”

Qin Jian's deliberately heavy words "China" and "Trotskyism" made Kuibyshev's heart tremble. Trotsky's contacts with China were no longer news, and Stalin had long regarded the East as a major problem, at which point any case related to "Trotskyism" and "China" would rise to the political level. So he was very panicked, but he didn't want to be seen through and deliberately kept a straight face: "I have heard about this matter, these scum should be eliminated as soon as possible, Director Mir, you can do it." ”

Still holding on? Seeing that he was still holding on, Qin Jian sneered twice in his heart and said, "Minister Kuibyshev, this matter is extremely serious, and the general secretary has asked us to investigate thoroughly, so I hope you will suspend the work of the Economic Development Committee and transfer all officials back for investigation." I heard that you are not in good health and would like you to prepare, so we will send you to a nursing home to rest for a few years. ”

Kuibyshev's face changed greatly, don't know what the sanatorium means, but he knows it too well! Once you go to a nursing home, it means that you are likely to be double-opened! It's hard to say whether they will come out alive. In the face of this step-by-step pressing, he couldn't help it: "What do you mean by this?" Director Mir, the work of the Economic Committee is related to the development of the country, how can it be said that it will stop? And I'm in good health and don't need to go to a nursing home. ”

In the face of anger, Qin Jian didn't hear it, got up and looked at him and said, "Comrade Kuibyshev, this matter was approved by the general secretary. It may take a while to go to the nursing home this time, so you'll have time to pack up and say hello to your family. After he finished speaking, he left the office without looking back, but his heart was secretly nervous. Because before he came, Stalin's order was to immediately send Kuibyshev to a sanatorium, and now to give him two children in violation of the order is to force him to escape. But in this way, the matter of violating the order can be regarded as being carried down by itself, so now you must flee immediately, otherwise it will be the end of the landing!

Kuibyshev didn't notice the meaning of the two deaths, and after Qin Jian left, the strength of his whole body seemed to be drained, and his forehead was full of cold sweat when he leaned back in the chair. His secretary had been with him for many years and was well aware of the minister's recent troubles. Seeing that his eyes were empty, he suddenly smiled mysteriously, stepped forward and said, "Chief, I just heard the report of the Security Bureau that they want to investigate the Karaqianda Iron Mine, you see. ”

Kuibyshev's shoulders shook! During the Sino-Soviet Treaty of Friendship, Běi Jing proposed to invest in the Karachida iron ore mine, and at that time, because the Soviet Union was in urgent need of external funds after the end of the civil war, Stalin considered repeatedly approving the opening of the mine. After the iron mine was built, it not only brought back millions of dollars of much-needed funds for the Soviet Union, but also exported 15 million tons of refined iron ore to China every year. And most importantly, he was also actively supportive at that time, and even Stalin's final decision had something to do with him. Now that Sino-Soviet relations are deteriorating, there is an obvious trend of deterioration, and if there is an excuse to say that they deliberately connive at the export of ore resources and collude with China.

Kuibyshev's heart sank even more, and he had even seen the tragic situation after he stepped down. Seeing this, the secretary took the opportunity to instigate: "It's really too much deception! Minister, how can you promise those executioners? You have worked for the revolution for so many years, and without you, the industrial program would not have been possible. I don't think it's better to go to the general secretary to judge. ”

General? The corners of Kuibyshev's mouth smiled miserably, who didn't know that Qin Jian was a dog raised by Stalin, and without Stalin's acquiescence, he didn't dare to move the Economic Committee and himself without the courage of the Security Bureau. So he knew that there was no way out, so Qian Crisp didn't think about it and waved his hand: "Go to my house and help me pack some clothes." ”

"Chief!" Seeing that he looked dejected, the secretary said excitedly: "You should fight them to the end, and you can't let them succeed." These inlets are black-hearted, and if you don't fight, they will definitely deal with your intake. At the mention of the word "home", the look in Kuibyshev's eyes became a little more solemn. Thinking of the hardships that have gone so far since embarking on the revolutionary road, I even shed tears.

The secretary seized this good opportunity, but he didn't dare to run away directly, so he could only lean in and lower his voice: "Chief, didn't you plan to go to Chelyabinsk tomorrow to inspect the steel plant?" Marshal Blyukhel was there, and I thought it would be better to get out of the limelight and wait for the matter to be investigated before returning to Moscow. ”

Kuibyshev and Blyukherr had a good relationship, so the secretary's words really touched his heart. As long as he can avoid the limelight for the time being, maybe there is a chance to redeem it, but just now Ivanmir asked him not to

If you want to leave, will it be counterproductive to suddenly go to "inspect" now? When he was thinking about the gains and losses, he didn't notice that the secretary was also looking at him nervously, as if the following decision could determine life and death.

I don't know how long it took for Kuibyshev to get up and pick up his coat, and the secretary was immediately relieved when he saw this, and took the initiative to open the door for him with his briefcase.

After returning home with his secretary and driver, Kuibyshev asked his wife to pack her things, while he went to the study with his secretary to take out the hidden confidential documents. These documents were top-secret information on Soviet industry, including gold reserves, ore metallurgy, secret factories, etc., and in a sense even more valuable than mere military secrets.

In addition to industrial materials, Kuibyshev also took out a lot of letters, which are also the inside story of the CPSU that he has so far, but when he stuffed these things into his leather bag like a date, he suddenly found that the secretary behind him was a little short of breath. Turning his head to look at it, he found that the secretary's expression was very abnormal, but before he could think about it, the secretary suddenly knocked him unconscious with a slap knife, and then quickly picked up the bag and stuffed him into the car together with the wife and wife who had been knocked unconscious by the driver downstairs.

Soon after the car started, several plainclothes agents of the Security Bureau surrounded him from all directions, but the secretary was not nervous at all, took out a certificate and walked away. If Qin Jian is here, he will definitely not be surprised, he has been sitting in the position of the director of the Security Bureau for ten years, and he doesn't know how many henchmen have been planted, although in order to protect his identity, he will never tell his henchmen that those who are comrades-in-arms and those who are ordinary people, but one thing is certain, the president will never let go of this good opportunity.

However, because it was a one-line contact, Qin Jian couldn't know if his comrades had done it, he only knew that the task had been completed, and now he had to leave immediately! So when I got home, I immediately asked my wife to pack her things and go straight to the train station with my daughter

．“ What the! Defected? Who is a thousand! ”

Late at night, there was a roar in the Kremlin. Under the lamp, Stalin wore pajamas and looked hideous, so frightened that Yezhov and Beria, who came to report, couldn't help but take two steps back.

I didn't know better than him, how important Kuibyshev was! It can be said that if he falls into the hands of a hostile country, then all the military production and industrial data of the USSR will be opened to the other side, and those important factories and secret mineral deposits in the territory of the country will also be exposed! Even if it does not fall into the hands of a hostile country, if he colludes with Trotsky and other reactionaries, the secrets he holds will greatly reduce his prestige, and may even plunge the Soviet Union into a civil war!

"Catch him, be sure to catch him! Let Egorov come, block the border! And what about Ivanmir? There he is? How he works! ”

Stalin was really panicked, he at this time preferred a certain marshal to defect or even launch a mutiny, rather than let Kuibyshev defect from the country. You must know that the military mutiny can be suppressed, and the leakage of secrets can be adjusted, but the first five-year plan has just been completed, and the second five-year plan has already invested huge sums of money to start construction.

Stalin's own hand is all there is to kill!

When Beria heard his mention of Ivanmir's name, he was overjoyed and hurriedly took out the train ticket stub that had just arrived: "General Secretary, this is handed in by the comrades at the railway station. Director Mir bought a train ticket to Kiev in the afternoon, and saw that he had already boarded the train with his wife and children, and he did not bring any entourage! ”

"Smack." A drop of cold sweat fell abruptly from Stalin's forehead.

Who is Ivan Mir? Head of the Political Security Bureau of the Soviets! And sitting in this position for ten years. Ten years o a! If you have the slightest intention, I am afraid that you can fill the Kremlin with spies and agents. You must know that even the chefs around you need to pass the inspection of the Security Bureau before they can be selected.

Such an incoming, if the plot is wrong!

At that moment, Stalin was really frightened, and even the eyes that looked at Yezhov and Beria became extremely strange. In the era when countries are competing for industrial heritage, at the moment when the Politburo needs to be suppressed, their own industrial designers and the director of the Security Bureau actually defected en masse! Is there anything more frightening to anger than this? Kill! Be sure to kill them all! If he hesitated before, now all the baggage is gone, and a major purge must be carried out!

Seeing the increasingly cold gaze, Beria knew that Stalin was going to carry out a purge, and although he wanted to take the throne, he also knew that he must not come out at this time. Because after purging those old ministers, the person who operated the knife would definitely be executed, so he immediately said: "General Secretary, I already have some information about their defection. ”

Stalin didn't know that Beria had told a lie, and thought that he really had mastered the defection route of Kuibyshev and Qin Jian, and rudely interrupted: "You are responsible, you must catch them!" ”

Beria breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Yezhov beside him, as if he saw a dead entry.
