The Rise of the Third Reich

Although Bulganin could not arrest McCarthy for anti-G-life crimes (although he was a true anti-G-life activist), McCarthy's protest was certainly ineffective. However, the anti-American education within the Atlantic Fleet of the Soviet Red Navy was suspended on November 11, because Comrade Stalin’s top instructions arrived in Molotovsk on the 10th—the Atlantic Fleet immediately set off for New York on the other side of the ocean.

What prompted Stalin to issue this order was a piece of intelligence from Spain. The main force of the European Combined Fleet has just returned to its home port of Gibraltar - in the previous period, the main force of the European Combined Fleet basically withdrew from the Arctic Circle route shrouded in darkness. However, they were not idle, but they were pulling nails in the Atlantic Ocean and captured the Azores, Canary Islands and Cape Verde Islands that were occupied by Britain and the United States.

Additionally, the European Combined Fleet organized a transatlantic transport of the elite Spanish Blue Division to Guyana. The Blue Division headed to America, of course, to march into Spanish-speaking Venezuela.

The U.S. military is now marching towards this "oil poor country", and other countries in South and Central America are also opening their eyes and preparing for war. If Germany wins in Venezuela, there will definitely be a lot of reactionaries from various countries to support it.

However, the war situation in South America has nothing to do with Comrade Stalin for the time being. He is only concerned about the North Atlantic Sea Route. Therefore, after confirming that the main force of the European Combined Fleet returned to port for rest, the Red Navy Atlantic Fleet was immediately ordered to sail to the United States. The route from Gibraltar to near the Arctic Circle is about 1,700 nautical miles, and even taking a straight line will take 5 days. This is very important to the Soviet Union. This is a rare period of safety for the Atlantic Fleet. Although it takes longer to get to New York from Molotovsk.

However, the Soviet Union's confidentiality work is by no means comparable to Spain, and the news of the Red Navy fleet leaving Molotovsk will certainly not be leaked. The whereabouts of the Red Navy fleet could not be exposed until it was discovered by German submarines operating in the Barents Sea.

It is a 4-5 day straight voyage from the area where the Red Navy fleet may be discovered to the most dangerous section of the North Atlantic. As long as the Germans hesitate a little, the fleet of GC communist fighters can safely reach New York.

On November 12, news that the communist fleet had left Molotovsk and was heading for the United States reached the White House.

"Gentlemen, the communist fighters are coming to the United States..." President Roosevelt looked at the few people invited to the White House today and said with a smile.

Sitting in the Oval Office today are Roosevelt's confidant Hopkins (who has now resigned as Secretary of Commerce), Director of Strategic Services Donovan, Chief of Staff to the President General Lacey, and the Truman Commission (which was a review of the military) Committee on Expenditures) Chairman Senator Truman.

Roosevelt smiled and said: "But according to Mr. McCarthy's report, our Communist friends are afraid of New York, a prosperous capitalist city."

"Mr. President, why are they afraid of New York?" Truman adjusted his small round glasses and asked strangely.

This Democratic senator is of course an anti-G element. After the historical Soviet-German war broke out, he once made the reactionary statement that "if the Soviet Union was dominant, then the United States should help Germany." However, in this time and space, his reactionary nature has not yet been exposed. Because Germany seemed too powerful and the United States needed the Soviet Union too much as an ally.

"Mr. Senator, because the leaders of the Bolshevik Party in the Soviet Union were worried that their communist fighters would be attracted by the prosperity and wealth of New York." Hopkins, who had been to the Soviet Union many times, said with a smile, "In fact, the Soviet Union was not interested in the Soviet people. It’s a pretty bad country. Among the major powers in the world, the Soviet Union is probably the one with the worst living standards.”

Truman seemed not to understand what Hopkins meant. He asked: "Mr. Counselor (Hopkins is now a counselor), you mean...the Soviet leader is worried about the large-scale immigration of his naval officers and soldiers to the United States after the war?"

"Well...that's a problem." Roosevelt smiled and nodded, and then added: "But Comrade Stalin is more worried that his communist fighters will be infected by our decadent capitalist ideas and become his enemies in the future."

"Infected?" Truman said to himself: The idea of ​​democracy and freedom is a virus! Why doesn’t this virus infect Germans?

"Mr. President, then should we find a way to corrupt all the communist fighters in the Soviet Union?" Donovan, the director of the Office of Strategic Services, understood Roosevelt's thoughts and immediately answered the question.

Roosevelt looked at Truman and said, "Harry, what do you think?"

Truman was stunned for a moment, then thought carefully, nodded and said: "Mr. President, I think we should promote American values ​​​​to the officers and soldiers of the Soviet Navy... If we win the world war, the Soviet Union is likely to become our next opponent!"

Roosevelt nodded repeatedly, "Yes, I think so too. The communist fighters in the Soviet Union should be made to understand that there is a system in the world that is superior to the Soviet system. However... we should use a well-intentioned way to Our values ​​were instilled into the brains of Soviet communist fighters."

"Goodwill?" Truman couldn't understand again. What is goodwill?

Hopkins said next to him: "President, we may be able to distribute condolences to the Soviet navy officers and soldiers, such as chocolates, cigarettes and watches produced in the United States. We can also organize some military-civilian social activities to entertain the Soviet sailors to eat and drink, so that they can communicate with the United States." Let the girls dance and let them gaze at the bustling city of New York.”

After hearing this, Truman already understood. No wonder he was brought to the White House, it turned out to be money! Roosevelt's kindness was to spend money on food, drinks and gifts...

However, the U.S. military budget does not include the cost of purchasing sugar-coated artillery shells to bomb the Soviet Union, so it can only ask Comrade Truman, who is in charge of accounting, to open a backdoor and let the USO (L Military Commission) make up some account and spend the money. .

…

The North Atlantic is currently dark, with high winds and rough waves, and the temperature has dropped below freezing. German aircraft cannot fly at all in this climate, and even the reconnaissance capabilities of submarines on the water will be greatly reduced. Therefore, it is a good opportunity for the Soviet fleet to break through the "blockade" and successfully head to New York City, the center of capitalism.

"American Political Commissar" McCarthy resisted the vomiting sensation caused by seasickness and walked through the rickety cabin aisle. He is currently aboard the battleship USSR, the flagship of the Soviet Atlantic Fleet. This battleship is also the ship of Comrade Bulganin, political commissar of the Atlantic Fleet and political commissar of the Allied Atlantic Combined Fleet.

Now McCarthy is preparing to go to see Bulganin. This time he is not going to protest. Instead, he is going to see Bulganin with the telegram he just received to discuss the "tri-service celebration" and "New York working people's condolences to communist fighters." A question that would surely trouble Bulganin.

"Condolences? To the working people of New York?"

"Yes, the working people of New York were very excited when they heard that the Soviet Union sent a fleet to join the United States in fighting the Nazis. They have already organized themselves to welcome the Soviet fleet, and are also preparing a series of condolences and party activities."

Really working people? Not a Wall Street capitalist?

Bulganin really regrets taking the job of political commissar of the Atlantic Fleet - this job is simply deadly! As long as you are not careful, you will be an anti-G life element!

Bulganin considered his words and replied: "Well... well, our Red Navy discipline is very strict, and the training tasks are very heavy, so condolences and social activities should not be too many."

In fact, he really wanted to lock the officers and soldiers of the Red Navy on the ship to prevent these people from being exposed to too many bad ideas.

However, this suggestion was rejected by Comrade Stalin, because Comrade Stalin believed that only those communist fighters who could withstand the test of sugar-coated bullets were the real communist fighters. Those wavering elements who could not withstand the test should be dealt with through labor reform!

Moreover, contact with the American working people in New York was also an opportunity to demonstrate the superiority of the Soviet socialist system.

Why should we worry about Soviet communist fighters being infected by decadent capitalist ideas? Why couldn't the American working people be won over to support the Soviet Union and the socialist system?

After defeating the Nazis in the future, there will inevitably be competition between the United States and Germany, and maybe there will be a war! Therefore, the support of the working people of the United States for the Soviet Union will become an important force in maintaining peace at critical moments.

If the Soviet naval soldiers now dare not even meet the working people of the United States, how will the working people of the United States view the Soviet Union?

Therefore, Bulganin could not refuse outright, but could only use the excuse of ensuring training to reduce the number of social activities as much as possible.

"Then we also want to know about the activities of Soviet sailors in New York City." McCarthy continued to embarrass Bulganin, "According to the agreement between the two parties, the Soviet sailors have to disembark and enter the city while the ship is docked in New York, right? ?”

"Damn Molotov..." Bulganin was already cursing Molotov in his heart after listening to McCarthy's question relayed by the translator. Because the agreement to allow sailors to move ashore was signed by Molotov and the United States - this request was made by the Americans first, because Molotovsk, like New York, will receive the entry of the American fleet.

When the U.S. fleet is anchored in Molotovsk, the U.S. sailors will not stay on the ship. They want to get off the ship to experience the happy life of socialism. So according to the principle of reciprocity, the Soviet sailors must of course disembark in New York... This matter is not a question of whether to disembark, but a matter of reciprocity of sovereignty!
