    In the Kremlin, Stalin looked gloomy. The urgent telegram from Switzerland was placed on his desk. Kalinin, Motolov, Voroshilov and Yezhov stood nearby with hot flashes on their foreheads.  The news that Gu Weijun in the Palais des Nations came forward to prevent the Soviet Union from joining the League of Nations, and also tried to mobilize Europe to implement an embargo, added to the already distressed Moscow.

    "What do you think?" Stalin threw the telegram to Motolov. This action clearly told several people how angry he was now.  If it were not for the fact that the country is still unable to accept a full-scale war, perhaps the troops have already gathered towards the border.

    Although Motolov is the Minister of the People's Commissariat for Foreign Affairs, he did not expect this situation, so he could only look at Kalinin with his eyes.  The latter was the Chairman of the Central Executive Committee of the Soviet Union, and nominally he should be the supreme leader of the Soviet Union. However, after Stalin came to power, he took over the power of the country as General Secretary, and Kalinin had no doubts about this.  Because of this, he established a deep personal relationship with Stalin, so after reading the telegram, he was the first to reply: "Comrade Stalin, this is a blatant provocation and strangulation of the Soviets! The embargo is a crime against the people and an unforgivable crime.  . Regarding this outright conspiracy and hostility, I think there should be no compromise. My opinion is that Comrade Motolov should immediately visit Europe and the United States to persuade them not to pass this proposal. If possible, we should also go to Japan to reiterate our  relations between the two countries.¡±

    Kalinin is indeed a veteran politician, and he can see at a glance that the key to whether the proposal can be passed is not in Beijing.  Now all European countries need the Soviet market, and they have expressed their desire to establish diplomatic relations, which may not be unconvincing.  However, Stalin was not very satisfied with this soft approach, but although he had monopolized power, Kalinin still had to give him face, so he nodded without saying anything, turned to Motolov and asked: "Comrade Motolov,  You are the Minister of Foreign Affairs. Do you share this opinion?¡±

    I don¡¯t know whether it was because the recent counter-revolutionary movement was too tense or because this matter was very difficult. Motolov¡¯s voice was much softer: ¡°General Secretary, although China has submitted the draft to the League of Nations, it will take some time to proceed according to the process.  Conference discussion, so we still have time to convince Britain and France, and we can get the United States to come forward. In addition, I think we can close the Karaganda Iron Mine first and stop exporting iron ore to China to force them."

    "The chapters are updated the fastest." Motolov's idea is to use the Karaganda Iron Mine to force China to compromise, because the iron ore can export tens of millions of tons of refined iron ore to China every year, which is very important to Yang Qiu, who urgently needs to build the northwest.  important.  But Stalin was extremely dissatisfied.  Especially when he thought that Kuibyshev actually used tens of millions of tons of cheap, high-quality iron ore to support his enemies every year, he became so angry that he completely forgot that he had approved this matter himself.  So he interrupted bluntly: "Comrade Motolov, don't always rely on others! The Soviets do not need diplomatic charity. China has shown hostility, and the Karaganda Iron Mine must be closed as soon as possible. This matter does not need to be discussed!"

    Perhaps because he was too angry, or because the Karaganda Iron Mine had aroused his anger again, Stalin didn't even want to call out his name. He pointed at Yezhov and said, "Why haven't those two traitors been caught yet? How do you do your job as a security chief?"  !" Ye Ruofu couldn't express his sorrow.  The task of hunting down Kuibyshev and Ivan Mir was clearly assigned to Beria, but now they have to take the blame themselves if they can't catch them.  Although he felt unhappy, he did not dare to say anything and quickly said that he would send more manpower to arrest the two of them and bring them to justice.

    After scolding Ye Ruofu severely.  Stalin gradually calmed down, walked to the map with a pipe in his mouth, looked at it silently and muttered to himself.  Although the world situation is still unclear, the situation in the Soviet Union is already clear.  To the east is China.  To the west is Germany, where the anti-Soviet movement is getting increasingly serious, and the Caspian Sea and the hinterland of the Caucasus are surrounded by British control!  It can be said that the current Soviet Union is like an old turtle in a urn.  Let others decide as you please.

    It is precisely because of this harsh external environment that Yang Qiu dared to boldly propose an embargo against the Soviet Union!  Because no politician is willing to fight on two fronts unless it is absolutely necessary, not to mention that the consequences of Germany's two-front war have clearly shown how dangerous it is.  In his opinion, Moscow has reached the crossroads of life and death!  This situation must be broken, otherwise the situation will be extremely dangerous when war comes.

    But where is the breakthrough?  China?  Eastern Europe?  Poland?  India?  Persia?  Baltic Sea?  The series of place names made him dizzy and swollen, and when he licked his fingers, he found that no matter which direction he was eating, he couldn't easily chew it off at the moment.  Do we still have to endure it?

    The bad situation made Stalin feel the pain of being stabbed by a knife, and he suddenly lowered his voice: "The current situation is very serious, and hostile forces at home and abroad are accelerating their collusion. To the east is China, to the west are Germany, Poland, Central Asia and Persia.  China and Britain in the Gulf are also colluding! The imperialists are desperately funding Trotsky¡¯s reactionaries in their attempts to subvert the regime. Now we must not only break through the imperialist encirclement, but also find ways to unite the Soviets all over the world.??Party members unite and establish a united front to resist aggression and subversion!  My opinion is that we still have our comrades in places like Tajikistan, Almaty and Kyrgyzstan, and they should be mobilized to cause trouble for the enemy!  Eastern Europe, Persia, and India should also take action. Only by igniting the revolutionary flame can we call on everyone to defend the Soviet Union!  "

    Stalin¡¯s words are already very serious, especially his request to launch a revolution in China¡¯s northwest provinces, which in a sense is already an act of war.  Therefore, the four people present all understood that after ten consecutive years of economic recovery since the end of the civil war, he was determined to break the external blockade.  After finishing speaking, he looked at Roshilov without waiting for anyone to answer: "Comrade Voroshilov, how is the army doing recently?"

    Motorotov¡¯s heart trembled a few times beside him. Stalin would never ask the army for no reason. Did he want to use the revolution as a cover to let the army solve the problem?  Kalinin also became nervous. Although the civil war had ended ten years ago and the first five-year plan had been completed, adjustments were bound to be made after the defection of Kuibyshev and Ivan Mir, and the rapid reaction movement had just begun. Is it right to start now?  too early?

    "Only Voroshilov was ecstatic. Although he suffered a big setback in Afghanistan, he finally captured Kabul.  Therefore, he relied on this "merit" to advance all the way, and he was even included in the first list of marshal conferments drawn up.  Zhien must repay his favor. Seeing Stalin's anger, he immediately stepped forward and promised: "General Secretary, please rest assured that the comrades in the army are very supportive of your speech. I will definitely supervise the rectification of the reactionaries lurking within the army."  Clear All."

    "Very good. Please tell Comrade Tukhachevsky. During this period, the construction and development of military equipment must be strengthened. The Red Army must not only overwhelm the enemy ideologically, but also need to overwhelm the opponent in terms of the quality and quantity of weapons! Now  The situation is more dangerous than during the White Bandit period. We must be prepared in terms of equipment and numbers to fight the enemy on several fronts at the same time! Have a meeting after you go back. I am going to add 30 more infantry divisions, which must have at least 5 tanks.  Division, the number of aircraft manufactured must be doubled. You must remember that only more aircraft and cannons can silence the enemy, and only bayonets can ensure the stability of the Soviet regime!"

    30 infantry divisions!  5 tank divisions!  Doubling the number of aircraft manufactured?  !  Kalinin and Moto "The Great Hero of Xinhai Chapter 717: Sprouting (2)" Love looked at each other and thought something was wrong in his heart.  Because they found out.  Something was obviously wrong with Stalin's mood and state!  You must know that domestic military expenditures in recent years have been far ahead of other countries in the world due to the aging of military equipment. Even though the country is not wealthy, it has caused a lot of trouble for domestic development. According to the establishment, 30 divisions have about 500,000 to 600,000 mouths!  How much money will this cost? What about the second five-year plan?

    ¡°General Secretary, don¡¯t worry, I will definitely get it done.¡±

    Although Voroshilov has great ambition and talent, what Stalin likes is that he is obedient and his methods are smooth enough. This is what is needed most at the moment.  You must know that he has made up his mind to wait until the purge of government departments is over.  We must deal with the traitors within the army.  As for 30 divisions being only the first step, he was already angered by the imperialist encirclement, so his idea was that by 1938, at least 4 to 5 million troops would be enough.

    "It's just a purge of the army."  Before establishing a united front and calling on the world proletariat to protect the Soviet Union, we must first clean up the internal reactionaries, and at least ensure stability. Otherwise, easy internal and external mobilization will lead to encirclement and suppression.  So Stalin's eyes fell on Yezhov again.

    Kuibyshev and Ivan Mir were like two thorns piercing his heart.  Kuibyshev turned the Soviet Union into a colander after ten years of construction, and Ivan Mir's survival made him wonder who else to trust.  So if we don't catch these two people, we won't be able to rest at ease for a day.  Ye Ruofu naturally knew what those two sharp eyes meant. He nodded quickly and promised again that he would clear out the interior and catch the two of them, but he felt extremely painful in his heart.

    Although the Soviet dictatorship strictly controlled the country and society, it was really difficult to find two people who wanted to escape in such a vast country with a huge sea of ??people.

    Moscow will be very busy during the next period.  Motolov visited Britain, France, the United States, Japan and other countries to try to stop the embargo proposal. Kalinin took Stalin's suggestion and convened the world's Soviet leaders to gather in Moscow in the name of gc international to establish a united front. Voroshilov held a military political meeting and demanded that all  Soldiers must unite around the great leader Stalin, eliminate reactionaries from the ranks, and ensure the purity of the army.  Stalin, on the other hand, was sitting in Moscow, checking off the names one after another on the list with his faint eyes!

    The Soviet Union is taking action!  A series of internal and external blows made Stalin finally abandon the beautiful fantasy of building industry first and then launching the world's "hero of 1911" revolution, and prepared to rely on launching revolution to break the imperialist siege.  The most depressed Yezhov was not only negligent. He not only expanded the scale of the counter-revolutionaries several times, but also mobilized all the forces he could mobilize to block the border and search for Kuibyshev and Qin Jian.  HeAfter a lot of efforts, traces of Qin Jian were actually found in Ukraine and other places, but whenever he wanted to take action, the other party would suddenly disappear without a trace.

    This made Beria, who personally directed the arrest, feel helpless. It was easier said than done to arrest a person who had served as the director of the Security Bureau for ten years, controlled the secret police of the entire Soviet Union, and was familiar with every loophole. The loopholes might even be deliberately arranged by him!  Fortunately, he was found in Ukraine and Eastern Europe, so he finally had a general direction.

    But is Qin Jian really waiting for an opportunity to escape from the country in Ukraine and other Eastern European regions?

    of course not!

    After nearly two months of not seeing each other, he has arrived in Berezny, a small town located in the Perm Territory northeast of Moscow.

    As a top spy, he was not stupid enough to infiltrate places where the Soviet secret police was most active and where a large number of Soviet forces in Eastern Europe were active. As for those several exposures, he was actually intentional. Even when he was sent back to the country, he said that he was going to Istanbul, Turkey.  Fake news, because he couldn't trust anyone at this moment.

    It¡¯s not that he doesn¡¯t know how much the country wants him to return, but that his identity is too special.  After 23 years of lurking, he was too familiar with Stalin's character. He was naturally suspicious, cunning, and good at using political tactics. Therefore, even if he died in a deserted mountain and old forest, Stalin would never believe him as long as his body was not found.  No matter who you are, the scale of the purge of counter-revolutionaries will only get bigger and bigger, and it will not stop until Stalin dies!

    "Dad, where are we going? Why do we have to hide and ride in the car every day?" The 7-year-old daughter, holding her beloved doll, stared wide-eyed and wondered why her father took her with him after setting off from Moscow.  My mother and I would either ride in the car or hide every day.

    "Us." Qin Jian lovingly picked up his daughter who was obviously emaciated and looked at her daughter who escaped with him. She still doesn't know her true identity and purpose. She thought it was Stalin who killed his wife because of his great achievements. He smiled slightly.  : "Going to find a utopia."

    ¡°Mom, what is Utopia?¡±

    Mariana¡¯s face was full of worry.  Back then, she came to Moscow from Estonia because she was young, had dreams and was full of enthusiasm. However, after marrying Qin Jian and learning a lot about the inside story, she realized that she was almost trained to be a "swallow" who needs to sleep with men every day, and she also learned that politics and  Ideals are completely different things, so she is no longer a simple-minded girl.

    "You will know soon." Qin Jian scraped his daughter's nose affectionately, held her in his arms and took his wife to an ordinary farmhouse in the suburbs. When he broke open the rusty iron rope and pulled off the waterproof cover that had covered it for six years,  Behind the tarpaulin, a brand new armored off-road vehicle, neat gasoline barrels, and a full set of polar exploration equipment secretly developed by Soviet technical experts suddenly appeared in front of them.

    The daughter, whom she had never seen before, regarded them as toys, but Mariana suddenly covered her mouth.

    Looking at his daughter who was fussing around, Qin Jian looked at his watch.  If there are no mistakes, Kuibyshev should have been picked up by the boss Chen Haohui, and his mission has been completed by now!  Next, it¡¯s time to risk your life!  He walked over to his wife and hugged her tightly.  From here on, he will embark on a difficult road home with no one to help him.  At the age of 50, can I still protect my family and return to my motherland across thousands of kilometers of uninhabited polar circles?  Although it is summer, how many dangers will you encounter on the road?  He didn't know, but some things were guaranteed.

    From today on, Stalin will have trouble sleeping and eating for the rest of his life!

    From today on, Stalin will no longer be able to wait for the day when preparations are complete!

    It¡¯s worth it!  ¡­(To be continued.)
