Chapter 232

Red Square in Moscow, a parade about Poland's victory. Stalin sat in the first place with no expression on his face, looking at the square of infantry with neat steps under the city wall. Khrushchev and ye Ruo Fu were all silent with their own thoughts. Although the noise of the military band around is still the same, the atmosphere is strange and distorted.

"I heard that our troops lost a lot on the Polish front line..." Stalin suddenly asked.

"This kind of thing is the false propaganda of the opponents." Ye Ruofu replied: "of course there will be losses, great leader comrade Stalin. How can there be an immortal in war? "

"But one of my military advisers told me that the attack on Poland killed hundreds of thousands of Red Army soldiers, which was a huge loss. This kind of loss should not exist, which indirectly shows the incompetence of the commander. " Stalin continued.

"This is just an empty talker who has never been on the battlefield, trying to get your attention with novel remarks." Ye Ruofu said with a smile: "as a great leader of opening up territory, you will break these rumors."

Khrushchev looked at Stalin and found that Stalin was also looking at him with a squint. He lowered his head and remained silent. Stalin listened to ye Ruofu's words, nodded and continued to look at the square of soldiers walking through Red Square.

Ye Ruofu turned his head, and his fierce eyes swept the place not far behind Stalin, where Stalin's adviser was sitting. He thought: wait a few days, I'll clean up you guys who like to talk nonsense.

The music played by the military band became more loud and exciting, and the infantry square came to an end. The tank troops finally appeared in Stalin's field of vision, a grass green T-26 tank with bright red five pointed stars painted on the turret, and a slight black smoke from the exhaust pipe, rumbled across the square in front of the Kremlin.

"I heard that in the last fierce battle, more than a dozen of our tanks were destroyed by the Germans?" Stalin looked at the tanks and asked marshal voroshlov, "in the report you gave me, the German anti tank artillery destroyed many of our T-26 tanks in the border conflict caused by poor detection."

"Yes, comrade Stalin." Voroshlov nodded and said, "it's clear that the Germans have learned a lesson in Spain, too. In Spain, our tanks are obviously ahead in technology. So in order to deal with the threat of T-26 tanks, the German tanks strengthened their firepower and deployed a large number of anti tank guns

Stalin thought about it, and then continued to ask, "Comrade marshal, we can't stop here. We should deploy and develop more powerful tanks to continue to surpass our opponents. "

"The new KV-1 tank is doing very well." "Although there are some reliability problems, it has been proved that the heavy armor is enough for the fodder guns," voroshlov said

"Well." On the other side of Stalin, yezov and Khrushchev said: "order the tank production plant to increase the output of KV-1 tanks and equip 2000 tanks every year. In addition... The development of new tanks should not be slowed down! It has to be done as soon as possible. "

"Yes, comrade Stalin." The two nodded together.

In the afternoon, the celebration of opening up the territory was finally over. Yerov walked on the main road of the Kremlin, looking frosty. When he just left Moscow, no one could disobey him. He was a strong voice here. But not long after he left, someone stabbed him in the back. This feeling of losing control made yerov feel very bad.

Khrushchev, who was walking on the other side, felt very bad because he saw something else in Stalin's eyes, which made him feel creepy. He thought about it, as if he had made up his mind.

Voroshlov, who was going down the stairs, frowned. In fact, before leaving the western front and boarding the train to Mongolia, Zhukov discussed the technical problems of German tanks in detail with him. He thought that German tanks had surpassed T-26 in armored mobility and firepower, and the existing KV-1 tanks only had a slight advantage in armor. But Zhukov reluctantly admitted: at this stage, we can only expand the KV-1 tank as far as possible to make up for the gap in tanks.

Each of the three had his heart in mind, and they all called their confidants for the first time.

"You, go and investigate for me to see who is disobeying us around Comrade Stalin, find reasons and kill them all. I don't want to see anyone against me anymore, do you understand? " Ye Ruofu said.

"Make arrangements. I want to meet Comrade Stalin as soon as possible. The sooner the better. If Comrade Stalin doesn't see me, even if you kneel down and beg him, you should also give me a chance to see him face to face! Do you understand? Besides... Make an appointment with marshal voroshlov for me in the evening. Go ahead. " Said Khrushchev, frowning at his men.

"Go to the production plant of KV-1 tank and see the representatives there. In other words, according to Comrade Stalin's order, the output of KV-1 tanks must be expanded to meet the production requirements. I don't care how they do it, but I need 2500 tanks a year! " Marshal voroshlov ordered to his adjutant.

You see, sometimes you can clearly see the choices made by certain types of people in the face of problems that are in line with their characteristics: soldiers obey orders, they will give priority to the instructions of their superiors; Politicians are good at weighing, they can always grasp the key point to serve their superiors; The villain of the camp will get rid of the dissidents and think of cleaning up the opponents at the first time. Early the next morning, Khrushchev met Stalin, who was having breakfast. Stalin was very happy to personally open the chair for Khrushchev, and invited Khrushchev to try the butter from Mongolia, as well as Russia's first-class "lieba", sausage and fried eggs. However, these common things, in Khrushchev's view, are still distorted and weird. He would rather Stalin roar in his face than Stalin keep this kind of uneasy feeling“ The great leader... Comrade Stalin, I, I... "Khrushchev was guilty. He knew that if Stalin really wanted to investigate, it would be light to send him to the coldest concentration camp in Siberia“ Eat first. " Stalin pointed to the food piled up on the table and said, "is it cold outside? Have you been frozen? "“ I have something to confess to you. " As soon as Khrushchev pinched his thigh, he finally gave up his heart: "when I was fighting in Poland, I was bewitched by yerov and made some irreparable mistakes. The loss brought to the country also casts a shadow on your shining like the sun. "“ "To tell you the truth, I've heard some rumors recently that you and ye Ruo Fu think they can make some decisions for this country instead of me," Stalin nodded“ Comrade Stalin! There is no doubt about my loyalty to you. " Khrushchev quickly bowed his head and said“ Before, I was very disappointed to think whether the friends I chose were all unfamiliar wolves. It makes me doubt my vision. " Stalin said to himself as he cut bread: "but it turns out that there are not all enemies around me. There are also children like you who are just temporarily lost."“ Comrade Stalin! I am still loyal to you, please forgive my fault. I should not listen to ye Ruofu's one-sided words. " Khrushchev cried bitterly and almost knelt down on the ground: "give me a chance..." "there's nothing wrong with you, my friend." Stalin laughed: "you are still loyal to me, loyal to this party, there will be no big mistake. Tell me what you know. I'd like to hear what's really happening on the Polish front. "“ We have to start with the tragic defeat of the front line. " Khrushchev was born in political work, and his clever mouth was like a lotus blossom. He blamed most of his mistakes on yezov. Then he cried and talked about how he was forced to obey yezov. After explaining everything to Stalin, Khrushchev finally said with tears in his eyes, "Comrade Stalin, at the beginning, I really had selfish intentions. I wanted to gain your trust and become the most effective person under your command... However, yeruo Fu said..." yeruo Fu, I will deal with it. " Stalin nodded and said, "I understand your feelings very well, but things will not be decided until marshal voroshlov comes here and I have asked him personally." After a while, as expected, voroshlov also rushed over. He was even more frightened to blame Ye Ruo Fu for all the accusations of political commissar's intervention in the war, and basically there was no difference with those things that Khrushchev said. Stalin was satisfied to put away his poker face“ Now it seems that you are loyal to the Soviet, and also very loyal to me... So I forgive you this time! But if there is another time! I'll hang you myself! " Stalin finally stood up and said, "please remember today's lesson! Don't cheat me into doing anything! Do you understand? "“ got it! Comrade Stalin, the great leader. " They quickly stood up and bowed their heads. Stalin nodded and seemed very satisfied with his feeling of being in charge of the universe. He narrowed his eyes and said, "as for yezov, the most serious problem this time, I decided to execute him on behalf of the Soviet government. Do you have any opinions?"“ Your decision is wise. " Khrushchev and voroshlov quickly agreed: "obviously he is the culprit of the crime!" Khrushchev took a look at Stalin and then added a reminder to voroshlov: "now it seems that he is the murderer who killed marshal Tukhachevsky." And just as they were weaving for yerov, a valet left the hall, came to the end of the corridor, looked around and ran out of the Kremlin. He ran in the direction of yeruofu's residence.
