In the Kremlin, Stalin's face was gloomy, urgent telegrams from Switzerland were placed on his desk, and Kalinin, Motolov, Voroshilov and Yezhov stood next to him, their foreheads a little hot. The news that Gu Weijun in the Palace of All Nations came forward to prevent the Soviet Union from joining the League of Nations and tried to launch a European embargo made the already anxious Moscow even worse.

"What do you guys think?" Stalin threw the telegram at Motolov, an action that made it clear to several people how angry he was now. If it were not for the fact that the country could not yet accept a full-scale war, perhaps the troops had already been assembled on the border.

Although Motolov was the head of the People's Commissariat for Foreign Affairs, this situation was something he did not expect, so he could only look at Kalinin with his eyes. The latter was the chairman of the Central Executive Committee of the USSR, and nominally he was supposed to be the supreme leader of the USSR, but after Stalin came to power, he took over the power of the country as general secretary, and Kalinin did not question this. It was also because of this that he had established a deep personal relationship with Stalin, so after reading the telegram, he first opened his mouth to answer: "Comrade Stalin, this is a blatant provocation and strangulation of the Soviets!" The embargo is a crime against the people, an unforgivable crime. I don't think there should be compromise on this outright intrigue and hostility. My opinion is that Comrade Motolov should immediately visit Europe and the United States to persuade them not to adopt this proposal. If I could, I should go to Japan again and reaffirm the relationship between our two countries. ”

Kalinin is a veteran politician, and the key to seeing through the passage of the proposal at a glance is not in Beijing. Now all European countries need the Soviet market, and they have expressed their desire to establish diplomatic relations, which may not be unconvincing. However, Stalin was not very satisfied with this soft approach, but although he monopolized power, Kalinin still had to give face, so he nodded and did not speak, turned to Motolov and asked: "Comrade Motorov, you are the head of the Foreign Affairs Committee, do you also have this opinion?" ”

I don't know if the recent anti-rebellion campaign is too tense or this matter is very tricky, Motolov's voice is much softer: "General Secretary, although China has submitted the draft to the League of Nations, it will take some time for the conference to discuss according to the process, so we still have time to convince Britain and France, and we can let the United States intervene." In addition, I think we can first close the Karaganda iron ore mine and stop exporting iron ore to China to force them. ”

Motolov's idea was to use the Karaganda iron ore mine to force China to compromise, because the iron ore can export tens of millions of tons of refined iron ore to China every year, which is very important for the construction of Yangqiu, which is urgently needed to build the northwest. Stalin, however, was extremely dissatisfied, especially when he thought that Kuibyshev was financing the enemy with tens of millions of tons of cheap and high-quality iron ore per year, and he was so angry that he forgot that he had approved it. So bluntly interrupted: "Comrade Motolov, don't always rely on others!" The Soviets did not need diplomatic handouts. China has already shown hostility, the Karaganda iron mine must be closed as soon as possible, this matter does not need to be discussed! ”

Probably too angry, or the Karaganda iron mine aroused fire again, Stalin didn't even want to shout his name, and pointed his finger at Yezhov: "Why haven't you caught those two traitors yet?" How do you do the job of the head of the security bureau! "Yezhov can't say what he is suffering, the task of hunting down Kuibyshev and Ivan Myr is obviously entrusted to Beria, and now people can't catch it, but they have to take the tank themselves. Although he was unhappy, he didn't dare to say much, and hurriedly said that he would send more people to arrest the two people.

After scolding Yezhov severely, Stalin gradually calmed down, walked to the map with his pipe in his mouth, silently looked at it and muttered in his heart. While the situation in the world remained unclear, the situation in the USSR became clear. China to the east, Germany to the west, the growing anti-Soviet movement, and the Caspian Sea and the Caucasus hinterland are surrounded by British control! It can be said that the current Soviet Union is like an old turtle in an urn, casually let people take care of it.

It is precisely because of this harsh external environment that Yang Qiu dared to boldly propose an embargo on the Soviet Union! Because no politician is willing to fight on two fronts unless it is absolutely necessary, and the consequences of the German two-front war have clearly shown how dangerous it is to do so. In his opinion, Moscow has reached an existential crossroads! This situation must be broken, otherwise the situation will be extremely dangerous when war comes.

But where is the breakthrough? China? Eastern Europe? Poland? India? Persia? Baltic Sea? The list of place names made him dizzy and swollen, and he snapped his fingers only to find that no matter which direction it was, it was not something that could be easily gnawed off at the moment. Do you want to endure it any longer?

The terrible situation made Stalin feel the pain of being stabbed by a blade, and suddenly lowered his voice: "The current situation is very serious, and the hostile forces at home and abroad are colluding at an accelerated pace. China to the east, Germany and Poland to the west, Central Asia and the Persian Gulf are also colluded with China and Britain! Imperialism is desperately trying to finance Trotsky's reactionaries in their attempts to overthrow the regime. Now we must not only break through the encirclement of imperialism, but also find a way to unite the members of the Soviet Party all over the world and build a united front against aggression and subversion! My opinion is that there are still our comrades in Tajikistan, Almaty and Kyrgyzstan, and they should be mobilized to cause trouble for the enemy! Eastern Europe, Persia and India should also take action, and only by igniting the flame can we call on everyone to defend the Soviet Union! ”

Stalin's words were already very heavy, especially his request to launch ** in the northwestern provinces of China, which in a sense was already an act of war. So all four people present understood that after a decade of economic recovery since the end of the civil war, he was determined to break the external blockade. After finishing speaking, he didn't wait for a few people to answer, but looked at Roshilov: "Comrade Voroshilov, is the army okay lately?" ”

Motolov's heart trembled a few times next to him, Stalin would never ask the army for no reason, did he want to use ** as a cover to let the army solve the problem? Kalinin is also nervous, although the civil war has been over for ten years, and the first five-year plan has been completed, but after the defection of Kuibyshev and Ivanmyr, it is necessary to adjust, plus the rapid reaction movement has only begun, is it too early to do it?

Only Voroshilov was ecstatic in his heart, although he planted a big heel in Afghanistan, but finally captured Kabul. So he relied on this "merit" to rise all the way, and even included him in the first list of marshals to be awarded. Seeing that Stalin was in full swing, he immediately stepped forward and assured: "General Secretary, please rest assured that the comrades in the army are very supportive of your speech, and I will certainly do my best to urge the rectification and eliminate all the reactionaries lurking in the army." ”

"Good. Please tell Comrade Tukhachevsky that during this period to strengthen the construction and development of military equipment, the Red Army must not only overwhelm the enemy ideologically, but also crush the opponent in terms of the quality and quantity of weapons! The situation is now more sinister than during the period of the White Bandits, and it is necessary to be ready to fight the enemy on several fronts at the same time, both in terms of equipment and numbers! When you go back, I'm going to have a meeting, and I'm going to add another 30 infantry divisions, at least 5 tank divisions, and double the number of aircraft built. You have to remember that only more aircraft artillery can shut up the enemy, and only bayonets can ensure the stability of Soviet power! ”

30 infantry divisions! 5 tank divisions! Doubling the number of aircraft built ?! Kalinin and Motorov looked at each other, secretly saying something bad in their hearts. Because they found out that Stalin's mood and state were clearly not right! You must know that in recent years, domestic military spending has been far ahead of all countries in the world due to the aging of military equipment, and it has caused a lot of trouble to domestic development when the country is not rich, and 30 divisions are almost 50 to 600,000 mouths according to the establishment! How much does it cost, and what about the second five-year plan?

"General Secretary, rest assured, I will definitely do it well."

Although Voroshilov was ambitious and talented, Stalin liked him to be obedient and tactful enough, which was what was needed most at the moment. You must know that he has made up his mind that when the purge of government departments is over, he will deal with traitors within the army. As for the fact that 30 divisions was only the first step, he was already enraged by the great imperialist encirclement, so he thought that by 1938 there would be at least 4 million to 5 million troops to be enough.

However, before purging the army and establishing a united front to call on the world proletariat to protect the Soviet Union, it is necessary to first eliminate the internal reactionaries, or at least ensure stability, otherwise it will be encircled and suppressed if it is easily launched internally and externally, so Stalin's eyes fell on Yezhov again.

Kuibyshev and Ivanmir, like two thorns pierced him deep in the heart. Kuibyshev made the Soviet Union's ten-year construction a big colander, and Ivanmir's life made him not know who else to trust, so if he didn't catch these two people for a day, he couldn't feel at ease for a day. Ye Ruofu naturally knew what those two sharp eyes meant, and hurriedly nodded and promised again that he would clear the interior and catch the two, but he was in pain to death in his heart.

Although the Soviet dictatorship had strict control over the state and society, it was too difficult to find two people who wanted to flee in such a vast territory.

The next period was very busy in Moscow. Motorov visited Britain, France, the United States, Japan and other countries to try to block the embargo proposal, Kalinin took Stalin's proposal to convene the leaders of the world soviets in the name of GC International to gather in Moscow to establish a united front, and Voroshilov convened a political meeting of the army, demanding that all soldiers must rally around the great leader Stalin, purge the ranks of reactionaries, and ensure the purity of the army. And Stalin sat in Moscow, with a faint look ticking off one name after another from the list!

The USSR acted! A series of internal and external blows made Stalin finally abandon the beautiful illusion that industry was being built first to unleash the world, and was ready to break the imperialist encirclement by mobilizing it. And the most depressed Yezhov not only did not slacken, not only increased the scale of the rebellion several times, but also mobilized all the forces that could be mobilized to block the border and search for Kuibyshev and Qin Jian. His efforts really found Qin Jian's traces in Ukraine and other places, but whenever he wanted to act, the other party would suddenly disappear without a trace.

This made Beria, who personally commanded the arrest, feel deeply helpless, and wanted to arrest a person who had been the head of the Security Bureau for ten years, controlled the secret police of the whole Soviet Union, and was familiar with every loophole, and even the loophole may be a character deliberately arranged by him, how easy it is to say! Fortunately, the places where he was found were Ukraine and Eastern Europe, and there was finally a general direction.

But did Qin Jian really escape from the country in Ukraine and other Eastern European regions?

Of course not!

After nearly two months without seeing each other, he has arrived in Berezny, a small town in the Perm Krai, northeast of Moscow.

As a top spy, he was not stupid enough to drill into the places where the Soviet secret police were most rampant, and there were a large number of Soviet forces in Eastern Europe, and as for those few exposures, they were actually deliberate, and even sent back to China to say that he went to Istanbul, Turkey, was false news, because he couldn't trust anyone at this moment.

It's not that he doesn't know how much China wants him to go back, but his identity is too special. After 23 years of incubation, he is too familiar with Stalin's character, suspicious by nature, cunning by nature, and good at using political skills, so even if he dies in the deep mountains and old forests where no one lives, as long as he can't find his body for a day, Stalin will not trust anyone for a day, so that the scale of the rebellion will only get bigger and bigger, and it will not stop until Stalin dies!

"Dad, where are we going? Why do you have to hide every day and ride in the car every day? The 7-year-old daughter hugged her beloved rag doll and widened her eyes wondering why, after leaving Moscow, her father took her and her mother to either ride in the car or hide every day.

"We." Qin Jian lovingly picked up his obviously emaciated daughter, looked at the escape with him, and still didn't know his true identity and purpose, and thought that Stalin mainly killed his wife because of his high achievements, and smiled slightly: "I'm going to find a utopia." ”

"Mom, what is utopia?"

Marianna's face was worried. At that time, she came to Moscow from Estonia because she was young and full of dreams and enthusiasm, but after marrying Qin Jian and knowing a lot of insiders, she realized that she was almost raised to be a "swallow" who needed to sleep with men every day, and she knew that politics and ideals were completely different things, so she was no longer a simple-minded girl.

"You'll find out soon." Qin Jian affectionately scratched his daughter's nose, hugged her and took his wife to an ordinary farmhouse in the suburbs, when he smashed the rusty iron cables and pulled off the tarpaulin that had covered the whole six years, a brand-new armored off-road vehicle, neat gasoline barrels, and a full set of polar exploration equipment secretly developed by Soviet technical experts suddenly appeared in front of him.

The daughter, who had never seen them before, took them as toys, but Mariana covered her mouth suddenly.

Looking at his daughter, Qin Jian looked at his watch. If there is no mistake, Kuibyshev should have been picked up by Chen Haohui's boss, and his mission has been completed here! Next, it's time to put your life on the line! He walked up to his wife and put his arms around her. From here, he will embark on a difficult path home, and no one will be able to help him again. At the age of 50, can I still protect my family from crossing thousands of kilometers of uninhabited polar circles back to my motherland? Although it's summer, how many treacherous will you encounter on the way? He didn't know, but something was guaranteed.

From today onwards, Stalin will have a hard time sleeping for the rest of his life!

From today, Stalin will no longer be able to wait for the day when it will be ready!
