Now the great thief Comrade Stalin is very troubled, the domestic political situation makes him troubled, foreign interference makes him troubled, and what is even more troublesome is that the Polish army, which has always been honest in the past, has brazenly declared war on Soviet Russia, and two years ago the Polish army attacked Russia and occupied 300,000 square kilometers of land, and now these shameless Poles are here again. What makes him even more atmospheric is that those countries such as Latvia, Asia, Croatia and other countries that once submitted to the great Russian nation also want Russia to ask for territory, and they want to carve up Russia.

Shameless, too shameless, Stalin slapped the table, this is simply internal and external troubles.

Stalin was somewhat envious of the neighbor to the east, China, who had a photograph on his desk, a picture of Wang Maoru. This man, through means of fighting, negotiating, compromising, dividing, attacking, co-opting, etc., from a local warlord, finally integrated the fragmented China into a unified country, so that the world no longer dares to carve up China lightly, is indeed a very good means. What struck Stalin most incredulously was that he would rather give up his position as Führer for the sake of national unity, when he could become Führer. This is also one of the places where Stalin was most dissatisfied with Wang Maoru, if it was him, he would have to kill these opponents first, at most a year or two later, and it would be better than saving zài opposition voices. In short, Stalin was very interested in this man in the East, and this Chinese, who was eight years younger than him, made him feel particularly magical.

"Report."

"Come in."

Stalin's secretary, Pos Krebeshev, walked in and said: "Report, Comrade Stalin. Liaison Officer of the Special Office of our country in China, Adolf. Abramovich. Yue Fei emergency telegram. ”

"Is there anything more important than the European nations attacking Soviet Russia?" Stalin asked.

Boskrebeshev said: "In view of the fact that the white bandits have fled eastward, the Chinese side and the Chinese side have started a high-level discussion on the military's most important decision-making level today to determine the strategy against our country. Whether to go to war against our country on the side of European and American countries, or to maintain the current state of peace, or to make friends with our country. ”

"The Chinese are shameless, and the Chinese nation is shameless and discredited." Stalin said, "However, our current army is all mobilized to the west, and we cannot fight the Chinese in time." ”

"Yes, the Chinese are also hesitant."

Stalin thought for a moment. It is said that this matter is very urgent, and if Soviet Russia does not immediately come up with countermeasures, once China decides to side with Europe and the United States to declare war on the Soviet Union. Iran and British India are also preparing to encroach on Russia, so the only way for Soviet Russia to retreat is the Arctic Ocean and polar bears.

Trotsky's telegram also arrived in a timely manner, in which he advised Stalin to be rational in his relations with China and to win over China as much as possible. It would be better to be able to provoke China to war with the remnants of Tsarist Russia with interests. In this way, both sides lose. If Trotsky had seen the Romance of the Three Kingdoms in China, he would have found that the present situation was very similar to that of the remnants of the Yuan family who defected to Gongsun Du in Liaodong. Trotsky was also right, for 1.7 million Russians fled to China, and if the Russians were allowed to enter the Western Regions, it would bring about a radical change in the proportion of the population of the Western Regions. It is impossible for China to accept Russia's request for refuge, which includes nearly 500,000 troops.

Stalin thought about Trotsky's telegram. I think his idea is correct, but if I do it according to his idea. It seems that he has become his echo worm. Stalin had a big headache, and suddenly Menzhinsky, the chairman of the Cheka, came running over and told him a very strict matter, and the former chairman of the Cheka, Dzerzhensky, criticized Stalin's leadership. Dzerzhinsky was a high-level leader in Soviet Russia, he had a large number of subordinates, he did not form cliques, he lived a self-disciplined life, he was not close to women, he was not corrupt or bribery, whether it was from his personal or his administration or from his prestige, Stalin was extremely jealous of him.

"Did he throw himself on Trotsky?" Stalin said nervously.

"Not really, our men followed him and found out that he had no connection with Trotsky, he was simply expressing his views." Menzhinsky said.

Stalin exhaled a long breath, if these two men joined forces, it would be too bad for his own rule. It is no wonder that Stalin was nervous, Trotsky was the founder of the Red Army in Soviet Russia, and 80 percent of the generals in the Red Army were promoted by Trotsky, especially after he took full control of the army, almost all the senior officers of the Red Army supported Trotsky. Stalin had executed two Trotsky's marshals at the mouth of Lenin under the pretext of the strategic defeat of Trotsky's order to withdraw troops at the beginning of this year, which further provoked the contradictions between Stalin and Trotsky.

There is no relationship between Dzerzhinsky and Trotsky, this is easy to do, Stalin is afraid of Dzerzhinsky's prestige, in fact, although Stalin has mastered the Cheka, but as long as Dzerzhinsky says a word, the Cheka can completely ignore the words of the current Cheka chairman Menzhinsky and regain control of his hands. This shows Dzerzhinsky's prestige in the hearts of the Chekas, and Stalin did not dare to attack Dzerzhinsky lightly, he was afraid that once he ordered Dzerzhinsky's assassination, those Chekas would immediately turn around and kill himself.

No, Dzerzhinsky must be killed, a unit must be mastered, completely loyal to himself, and it was at this time that a villain came into Stalin's field of vision. This man was none other than Dzerzhinsky's former assistant Henrich. Grigorievich. Yagoda, a man with only a primary education, was a childhood friend of Gorky, who was recommended to Lenin by Gorky. Yagoda, a man with a low level of education, was particularly trusted by Lenin, who thought he was his own and sent him to Dzerzhinsky's side.

Yagoda was originally a wall-to-wall grass and was not trustworthy, and Dzerzhinsky did not see his face clearly and trusted him. However, this man also did a very unsuccessful thing, that is, the execution of the Tsar's family failed, but let the Tsar's family escape, which was brewing for seven years in the Russian Civil War. After this incident, Yagoda was dismissed from his post and sent to the Far East as a farmer, responsible for supervising the political authorities.

Agoda's brutality in the Far East was once again taken seriously by Dzerzhinsky, who believed that Yagoda's brutality was due to his staunch Bolshevist and his opposition to the enemy, and he was transferred to be his secretary. Yagoda no longer wants to go to a place where you can only eat fatty meat and salty "food" in the cold for eight months a year and in winter. (The traditional cuisine of the Russian Far East, frozen fatty meat is dipped in salt foam, and it is indicated: fatty meat is raw pork, not cooked meat.) If you are interested, you can taste it, eat more and vomit, Simon didn't dare to try it when he was traveling at the border)

Stalin needed a man with a lot of experience in fighting and brutality, and Yagoda appeared, and when Yagoda stood obscenely in front of Stalin, Stalin felt that he was the one he needed who could do everything he wanted to do but could not do for him, except for those who were tricky. In contrast, Menzhinsky defected to Stalin because Trotsky was not satisfied with enjoying the supreme military power, and he specifically demanded that the Cheka should work under the supervision of the Supreme Military Council of the Soviets (a disguised demand that the Cheka obey his command), which aroused Menzhinsky's dissatisfaction, and Menzhinsky defected to Stalin. So Stalin trusted Menzhinsky, but not completely.

Yagoda is different, this is a treacherous villain, such a person can be used by himself, such a person will be willing to be his own eagle dog.

"Comrade Heinrich, I hope you can help me with something." Stalin said.

Yagoda immediately said: "Great Comrade Stalin, please speak. ”

Stalin said: "From now on, you will be responsible for the imprisonment of Comrade Ulyanov, who is now sometimes sober and confused, and you must know that it will be a disaster for Soviet Russia if he changes the question of succession to the leadership of Great Soviet Russia in a confused situation." ”

Yagoda immediately said: "Great Comrade Stalin, I can guarantee with my life that during the time that I am in charge of guarding Comrade Ulyanov, he will never have access to anyone else. ”

Stalin was satisfied with letting him go to work, and the secretary Boskrebeshev again came with a telegram from Trotsky, and this time Trotsky demanded very strongly that Stalin must pacify the East so that he could eliminate the offensive of the six Western countries. Stalin was so furious that he tore up the telegram and shouted: "This damned Lev. Davydovich! ”

Pos Krebeshev did not dare to speak, and stood aside and secretly looked at the moody Stalin, and after a while Stalin calmed down and said: "Send a telegram to Comrade Yue Fei and tell him that as long as China does not accept the White Russian rebels, we can consider formally giving up the territory of China." ”

"Yes."

Pos Krebeshev couldn't believe that this sentence came from the mouth of a tough man, Stalin, but he did say so, and Stalin saw his doubts, gritted his teeth and said: "Damn yellow-skinned monkey, when I destroy the Western Six-Power Coalition and eliminate the political enemies, I will make them pay ten times the price." But now, we need to use them, use them to help us eliminate the white bandits, you know? The Soviets have no friends in the world, all are enemies, and all people are enemies of our Soviets. We are making a deal with the devil, but we, who represent justice, will eventually destroy the devil. ”

That night, an important visitor came to Stalin, this person was Stalin's confidant Malenkov, this person is also quite interesting, he and the head of the Soviet Russian police Beria are close friends, and they joined Stalin together, their common hobby is to hate Trotsky, and after drinking Trotsky they scolded Trotsky together.
