Chapter 234

Moscow's landmark, the Kremlin.

Stalin stood on the balcony, watching the red flag solemnly raised by the soldiers. Then walk back to your room. These days, he is in a very bad mood, so bad that many happy things can't catch his smile.

One is his former right-hand man, ye Ruofu, who was the most trusted, died in a street gunfight. He was shot in the back by his cronies, and the scene was chaotic and full of doubts. But in the end, the case was dealt with as a retaliation by the victim of the purge. After Kirov, yerov became another dead and obscure leader of the Soviet Union.

Of course, there is a more depressing thing. Many people in the military think that Stalin's decision to let yerov die is an act of shirking responsibility. They strongly demand that the purge be stopped and the dead be vindicated. Stalin had to order another purge of the military command class to consolidate his increasingly fragile rule.

On the other hand, from Khrushchev's statement, he knew how many interests the Soviet Union had lost in Poland. These interests are too large to be described in quantity: hundreds of thousands of young people have been picked up by the Germans, as well as hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians and Belarusians. Germany not only got a lot of population resources, but also got much more land than the original boundaries.

Stalin had to admit that it was the young head of state of Germany who won, won a large area of territory, and also won hundreds of thousands of labors from Poland and even the Soviet Union. But as the leader of the Soviet Union, he had to find his own place, which was what he wanted to do most and what he had to do.

However, it is unrealistic to declare war on Germany. After all, what he is more eager to solve now is the dissatisfaction of the military with the big clean-up. Moreover, his army has proved that it is not an opponent of the German defense forces. If it goes to war, it will obviously bring shame on itself and further shake its reputation and foundation at home.

It is not only impossible to go to war, but also necessary to avoid the German army going to war with the Soviet Union now. Because the Soviet Union must spend at least two years to rectify its internal problems, so that it can have the strength to meet the provocations of the German team. If the two countries are now at loggerheads, then even if the Soviet Union can win, it will definitely be a tragic victory that it is not willing to accept.

So he had to choose another way, to find a way to make Germany pay the price, but not to anger the Soviet Union. But after so many days, he still hasn't been able to find a way to get the best of both worlds. Looking at the thick snow outside the window, it seemed that the cold feeling poured into the warm room, which made him shiver from head to foot.

An aide knocked on Stalin's open door and reported at attention: "the great leader, comrade Stalin and Comrade Khrushchev, would like to meet you."

Stalin nodded, indicating that people could come in. After a while, Khrushchev came in in a hurry.

As soon as he entered the door, he said to Stalin with a smile: "Comrade Stalin, the great leader, I have something on my side about your plan to retaliate against Germany." As he spoke, he pressed a treaty on Stalin's desk.

"Oh?" Stalin was stunned. Then he took the document and looked at it carefully. The document was not complicated, because the name of the document was written on the cover, which seemed to be the content of the document. On the white cover, a line of big words clearly read "the Soviet German non aggression treaty".

"What do you mean?" Stalin asked, frowning. What are the loopholes in this treaty? It is unlikely, and even if there are loopholes, with the current military strength of the Soviet Union and Germany's covetous attitude, it is still a question whether these loopholes can be exploited. Stalin did not think of the key for a moment, so he stopped thinking about it and asked Khrushchev directly.

Khrushchev also did not dare to play tricks in front of Stalin and quickly explained: "Comrade Stalin, there is no loophole in this contract, but this document itself is the biggest loophole."

"Oh? "The document itself?" Stalin looked at the document again, waiting for Khrushchev to continue.

"What if we let this document out?" Khrushchev directly explained the mystery: "if the British or the French get a copy of this treaty, what will happen to Germany?"

What will happen to Germany? What else can Germany do? The lie that Germany claimed to invade the Soviet Union became a joke, and no one would believe the explanation of the German head of state. The so-called lack of materials, bad weather and other excuses can no longer make people believe that the whole world will know that the German eastern expedition is just a hoax. The French will be furious, hundreds of thousands of French * teams will cross the western border of Germany, and the whole Europe will be united. Let alone Germany threatening the borders of the Soviet Union. At that time, it will be a question whether Germany can exist.

"Good! Very good Stalin patted the table happily. Finding this way was the happiest thing for him in recent days. The smile seemed to return to his face - the beautiful moustache on his mouth rose to both sides again.

"Comrade Stalin, the only thing to be solved now is how to get rid of the relationship and give this document to the British or the French." Khrushchev said with a smile, "this time, it's enough for the Germans to be in a mess."

"Why should we get rid of the relationship?" Stalin left the document on his desk, stood up and said, "think about it. Even if the German knew that we had leaked the secret, France had begun to prepare for war. What else could he do for Germany?"“ Will Germany go to war with us directly? In this way, the treaty is useless. They can still say that the treaty is fake... "Khrushchev frowned and asked," isn't that self defeating? "“ Are the English and French idiots Stalin was in a good mood today. He waved his hand and explained with a smile: "they have guessed half of it, but they are not sure that Germany has a secret treaty with us. If we let it out, it will be too late for Germany to do anything. " Soon, a Soviet diplomat visited the United States, where he suddenly announced that he was seeking political asylum. He cried out how he was persecuted in the Soviet Union, and vowed that he was actually the son of a capitalist who opposed communism. Anyway, he made the headlines in the United States. While the United States was racking its brains about what to do with him, he told his detainees that he had many confidential Soviet documents, and only when he was allowed to live in the United States would he give them to the United States authorities. Of course, the United States finally agreed. In order to obtain American nationality, the Soviet diplomat later gave up the document he stole, that is, the Soviet German non aggression treaty, which was kept secret. The U.S. intelligence agency, which accepted these documents, immediately felt the seriousness of the incident and soon handed the document to President Roosevelt. Since Germany did not continue the game as scheduled, it is impossible for the United States to continue to support Germany. An uncontrolled world power is something the US government does not want to see. So President Roosevelt immediately contacted his allies, Britain and France, and soon both countries knew about the secret document. The Treaty of non aggression between the Soviet Union and Germany, which should have been sent out on January 1, 1938, was handed over to Britain and France on January 5, 1938 after a series of handling. Of course, this document soon became another evidence of Germany's attempt to attack the lowland countries to the West. Together with the German "yellow box project" seized in Belgium a few days ago, it further showed that the German invasion plan against France was completely true. So the document was sent to the French front-line headquarters and handed over to general kammerlin, the commander-in-chief of the British and French allied forces“ So? It's been a long time since the Germans tried to attack France... It seems that they planned very carefully. " Gan Mulin looked at the deliberate report and threw it aside: "the intelligence department is really free. Why did you send this report to me? " With a sneer, he pointed to the battle map and said to his generals, "when we didn't get this document, we were preparing for war. And now? We still have to prepare for war... What's the difference? " At the same time, general lundstedt was also reading the report on the leakage of the Treaty of non aggression between the Soviet Union and Germany at the top command of the western front of Germany. After he finished reading, he also threw the document aside. Looking at the puzzled eyes of his subordinates, lundstedt pointed to the map of France in front of him with a smile: "when we didn't get this document, we were preparing for war. And now? We still have to prepare for war... What's the difference? " In the headquarters, everyone laughed. Five consecutive days of rain and snow did not make the road muddy, nor did it prevent the German army from completing its final war preparations. Cannons have been pushed to their designated combat positions, guns and ammunition have been fully rationed, and the entire Western Front troops have even improved their food for two days; The tank was carefully maintained and oil was added on time to protect the gears. Even in this weather, the equipment was not damaged by freezing; Every secret fighter warehouse is heated by fire on time, and the pilots are ready to go. It's really strange that the heavy snow for several days stopped after two hours. The sky is cloudless and looks like good weather. It seems that God has finally made up his mind to see a wonderful fight performance.
