Age of Conquest Reborn

Stalin knew very well that no matter how violent the Japanese Kwantung Army and Tang Qiuli's troops were in the East, it was not a serious problem, let alone a factor that put the Soviet Union in danger of collapse. The battlefield was too far from the center of the Soviet Union to shake the Soviet Union's national power.

Originally, it was considered a scabies disease at most.

But the Germans are different. According to the current advancement speed, it may not take more than a month to reach the gates of Moscow. By then, they will have to abandon the capital. This will not only affect their own prestige, but also the public support and morale of the Soviet people.

It was a huge blow. This kind of situation must not be allowed to shake the foundation of the rule of the Bolshevik Party. Therefore, the Soviet Union must mobilize the power of the whole country to fight to the death against the Germans!

Stalin looked at the members of the Politburo and said: "Comrades, our great Soviet Union is facing huge dangers. The German fascist attack was fierce at first, but as long as we have confidence and continue to fight, we will win the final victory.

It still belongs to our great Soviet people and the great Bolshevik Party!"

"In view of the crisis situation we are currently facing, I propose that in the name of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, we issue a general mobilization order for war to the people across the country. We should tell the people that the great socialist Soviet Union was brutally invaded by German fascists and the war broke out.

, all the Soviet people must join in this great Patriotic War!"

"In order to unify and command the country's forces and resist the invasion of German fascism, I would also like to propose the establishment of the Supreme Command of the Soviet Union, with me as the supreme commander. The General Staff includes the Air Force Headquarters, the Navy Headquarters, and all departments.

Under the unified command of the Supreme Command, all military and civilian enterprises will immediately transfer to a wartime system, and all life in the country will enter a wartime state!"

With a few words, Stalin set the tone for the Soviet Union to carry out nationwide mobilization and enter the wartime track. It should be admitted that Stalin had natural domineering and leadership qualities, and his vision was higher than other members of the Politburo of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, including Hitler.

The sudden and large-scale attack on the Soviet Union was carried out with the determination to destroy the Soviet Union. If the Soviet Union did not use all its national strength to deal with local wars, it would not be able to defeat Hitler.

The members of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union who attended the meeting approved Stalin's proposal with neat and stormy applause. Stalin raised his hands and the applause subsided. "Comrades, we must be soberly aware that what we are facing,

It is a fascist army armed to the teeth. For a long time to come, we will face countless difficulties, maybe one year, maybe two years, or...longer, we will continue to fight for years.

Get through it.”

"Therefore, I ask all party members and comrades to stand on the front line of the Patriotic War and punish those who waver in the face of battle, panic, fear the enemy, surrender to the enemy, and fail to command, and punish them with the most severe means.

Level Cheka Department, once verified, can

Shooting on the spot without trial. Comrade Beria’s lesson is enough to arouse the vigilance of our entire party. I also hope that the comrades of the Political Bureau members will bravely shoulder their responsibilities and lead the people to bravely fight for our motherland.

to fight fascism!”

Stalin's voice was a little hoarse, but his determination was unquestionable. What he said was very clear. Under the premise of resisting the German invasion, if anyone tries to make a fool of himself, or has ulterior motives, or thinks about things that shouldn't be thought about,

Just don't blame me for going on a killing spree, no matter who you are!

The Politburo meeting ended. The members of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union hurriedly left and entered their roles. The original intrigues and factional battles became insignificant. In their hearts, they all had a deep sense of crisis.

, after all, when the Soviet Union collapsed, vested interest groups would also disappear. Everyone still understands the principle of "If the skin is not left, the hair will be attached." Under the huge pressure of the German army, the Soviet Communist Party broke out with unprecedented cohesion.

The sky was getting dark, and the tall walls of the Kremlin cast a gloomy shadow. The light in the huge office was a little dim, but Stalin did not turn on the light. He hid himself in the darkness and smoked his pipe one after another.

, the bright and dark flashes of red light reflected his worried and tired face from time to time.

Stalin was worried, deeply worried. The German attack was fierce and rapid. In more than four hours, it advanced more than 80 kilometers on Soviet territory. At this speed, it would not take more than a month to reach the capital.

Moscow would be in flames, and the Soviet troops in the western border areas would never be able to withstand the German attack. He knew very well what kind of troops remained in the west!

Although Petroshilov's move was good, it was also the only feasible way at present. However, Stalin saw deeper and realized that it was impossible to compete with the German army by relying on improvised troops. Hitler even swept across the European continent and defeated the British and French allied forces.

Defeated, the British and American forces could only hold on to a corner of the British Isles. Defeat was inevitable sooner or later, which proved the combat effectiveness of the German army.

Hitler had been prepared and planned for a long time. Perhaps, a few years ago, he had begun to make preparations for war against the Soviet Union. But what about himself? Stalin shook his head in pain and annoyance, sighed heavily, and felt his heart pound.

Pain, now it seems that transferring most of the troops to the east to target the Chinese Tang Qiuli and the Japanese Kwantung Army was a fatal mistake.

This mistake was enough to ruin the Soviet Union. If the more than four million elite troops in the East were still stationed on the Western Front, would Hitler have taken the risk? Even if Hitler had taken the risk, the current war situation would not have been as bad as it is now.

, all of this was caused by Beria. Thinking of Beria, the anger in Stalin's heart burned uncontrollably, burning him to the core.

"Dingle bell!" Stalin pressed the electric bell on his desk, and a fully armed young officer walked in briskly without making any noise. At first glance, he saw that he had undergone rigorous training. He was a member of the Kremlin Guards.

member, a team belonging to

Stalin's personal guard also served as a secret force, doing things that were not convenient for the Cheka or shady. They were all young party members who were absolutely loyal to Stalin and dedicated themselves to the leader. Not to mention being die-hardly loyal to Stalin, they were also

Follow your advice.

Stalin quickly wrote a few lines on a piece of letter paper, put it into an envelope, sealed it carefully, and only gave one instruction, "Don't let anyone know, and hand it over immediately to the third deputy director and cadre of the Organization Department of the Central Committee."

Comrade Chernenko, Director of the Examination Bureau, remember that you must hand it over to him in person!"

After taking the envelope, the officer disappeared into the office as quickly as he came. Beria became a prisoner. The All-Soviet Committee for the Suppression of Counterrevolutionary Forces, an extremely important organization, would cause great chaos if it had no leader.

, and Beria's power exists. He has been operating in the Cheka for many years, and his cronies and confidants are spread across various departments. The enemy is currently facing a big enemy. If it is not handled well, big trouble will occur. If it is not handled well, your own life and safety will be affected.

threaten.

This was also the main reason why he did not publicly announce Beria's death sentence at the Politburo meeting. Instead, he had to endure the strong murderous intention and kept claiming that calling the guy "comrade" was just for censorship, in order to stabilize the contract.

If there is no trouble inside the card, of course, handing Beria over to the military will be an announcement of his death, and I believe Petroshilov will get what he needs.

As for Chernenko, the third deputy head of the Organization Department of the Central Committee of the Soviet Communist Party and director of the Cadre Review Bureau mentioned in the secret letter, he was the perfect candidate to be the chairman of the All-Soviet Commission for Suppression of Counterrevolutionary Affairs. The Cadre Review Bureau was originally the party's

The special structure within the organization was responsible for similar responsibilities as the Cheka, but it was very low-key. It was a special organization that I had set up to check and balance Beria, but I didn't expect that it would come in handy today.

Comrade Chernenko, the director, is more ruthless than Beria, but he is not bloodthirsty, and he does not go around setting up traps. He makes excuses to eliminate dissidents and suppress other factions, so there is no resentment. The most important thing is

, but Chernenko has no political ambitions. Otherwise, with the power of the Cadre Review Bureau, he would have sought a high position long ago. If he takes over the responsibility of the All-Soviet Counterrevolutionary Committee, he will do better than Beria!

Chernenko will also understand his true intention of sending him as chairman of the All-Soviet Counterrevolutionary Committee at a critical moment. Starting tomorrow, the entire Cheka system will be a bloody storm, with countless heads falling, but this

It was not something that Stalin was worried about. Chernenko could handle it completely. He had the wherewithal and courage to do so!

Stalin was most worried about the Eastern battlefield. At the critical moment when Zhukov was encircling and annihilating the Japanese Kwantung Army, he immediately withdrew his troops and eradicated the Japanese coveting the territory of the Soviet Far East. Victory was in sight, but he fell short because of the Germans' perfidy and sudden attack.

, Stalin was very hateful and helpless. Maybe he would never have such a good opportunity again in the future?

And the Chinese Tang Qiuli will also have a chance to breathe. It is completely hopeless to occupy the Outer Mongolia region again. As for the Inner Mongolia region that annexed Manchuria and China, judging from Stalin's current state of mind, it is more like a mirror.

It was about to realize its long-cherished wish, stabilize the East, and expand a large territory. Then, it would make great efforts to consolidate the West, and watch indifferently as the Germans and the British and American forces fought to the death on the British Isles. The Soviet Union continued to develop for several years.

, may not have the ability to compete with the Germans in Europe!

However, everything was in vain now. The war in the East was half-baked and he was forced to withdraw. When he thought of this, Stalin's heart became so tight that he couldn't breathe. It was all because of that Beria.

In his heart, Stalin hated Beria even more than he hated Hitler!
