    In the evening, at minus 20¡ãC in the Moscow airport, Motolov stood upright, with his assistants behind him chatting with each other and smiling.  Every personnel and soldier who saw this scene was secretly surprised. Which foreign guest is worthy of Comrade Comrade People's Foreign Affairs Committee braving the cold spring to welcome him and waiting for nearly an hour?  But Motolov didn't feel tired, and even had a long-lost joy on his face.  Because the Americans are coming!  Although this is not the first time that a U.S. representative has secretly visited Moscow, it has never been more important than today, because Roosevelt's personal representative Hopkins made it clear before arriving that he would discuss ending the war in Central Asia and the situation in Europe.

    Ending the war in Central Asia is just wishful thinking of the Americans, but the topic of the situation in Europe makes Moscow happy from top to bottom. This means that Britain and the United States still need the Soviet Union, and it also means a steady stream of supplies and loans.  With the assistance of the wealthy US government, the Soviet Union's industrial capabilities can be raised to a higher level and it can launch a strategic counterattack earlier!  And he also firmly believed that the United States would not continue to support another stronger potential opponent when it already had a headache with the Japanese navy. Therefore, he firmly believed that the United States needed the Soviet Union to balance Asia, and Hopkins would definitely bring enough good news.

    In his earnest expectation, an American DC3 passenger plane with an eye-catching Red Cross logo soon appeared in the sky.  When he saw the plane, Molotov immediately checked his attire and carefully trimmed his temples that were blown away by the cold wind. Then he took off his gloves, pretended to be a gentleman on the streets of London, and strode toward the plane with his head raised.  "Mr. Hopkins, we meet again." His tone was friendly and his movements were casual, as if he was chatting with a good friend.

    Hopkins also hopes to maintain this good personal relationship because it can help deal with some difficult issues.  But after exchanging a few words and just about to get into the car, the captain's call suddenly sounded from behind.

    "I'm very sorry, please wait." Hopkins was puzzled.  I just had to say hello and ask about the situation.  Motolov didn't pay attention at first. It wasn't until he noticed that the captain said a few words to Hopkins, and the latter immediately put on a surprised expression as if he had seen a ghost, that he realized something was wrong!  After a while, several of Hopkins' assistants also joined in, seeming to be desperately trying to suggest something, and pointing to him from time to time.

    What happened?  Motolov wanted to ask.  About two minutes later, Hopkins seemed to have convinced his assistant and strode back.  But the careful Motolov found that his face looked very bad.  "Your Excellency, Foreign Minister." Hopkins paused.  It seemed that the following words were difficult to say, so he hesitated before continuing: "I'm very sorry. Something important happened. I hope we can meet at a different place next time." After saying that, he did not wait for Motolov's answer, and made three steps in parallel.  He ran towards the plane which had not shut down its engine in two steps.

    What does this mean?  Mrs. Motolo was stunned!

    At that moment, he felt like a clown on the circus. He had finally prepared everything, but when he got on stage, he was slapped hard. How could he perform?  What's the matter?  I waited in the cold wind and low temperature for more than an hour, but ended up leaving behind two irrelevant words.  What about loans?  What about the conditions?  Where are the supplies?  Why don't you give me a reason?  This is Moscow.  It¡¯s not your backyard!

    Don¡¯t talk about him, the entire reception group was stunned, and they didn¡¯t wake up until DC3 roared off the runway.  "Comrade People's Commissar, do you want to send a plane to intercept?" The commander of the Army Aviation Division stationed at the airport rushed over excitedly.  But he was glared hard by Motolov.

    After getting into the car in a rage, he gradually calmed down.  There must be something happening, and it¡¯s something big!  How else could someone like Hopkins be so rude?  Is there a war between China and Britain?  He couldn't figure it out after much thought, but one thing was certain.  Hopkins looked like he was avoiding.  Yes, they must be avoiding it, as if there is something terrible in Moscow.  Let him avoid suspicion and walk through the door without entering.

    Is there something scary in Moscow?

    Motorov couldn¡¯t figure it out, so he asked the driver to go back to the airport to check the radio records. He learned that an encrypted telegram had been intercepted after the plane landed, and immediately took the telegram to the Kremlin.  Before leaving, he called Beria and asked the Cheka to find a way to decipher the telegram and contact intelligence agents around the world to inquire about anything important.

    ¡°Don¡¯t tell me, after seeing Stalin report, I really got an important piece of news.

    Sikorski arrived in Washington and held a closed-door meeting with President Roosevelt for several hours. He refused all interviews and booked the entire Broadway theater in New York.

    But before Stalin could digest the news, news came that the U.S. ambassador and diplomats appeared at the airport and took a plane to Zurich overnight.  The Kremlin is in total chaos, so why are American diplomats leaving?  Is the intrusion of the US envoy and the withdrawal of the ambassador a coincidence or a conspiracy?

     Throughout the night, Moscow could not sleep. Stalin even canceled the military meeting he had attended every day since the war began.  Dullness, depression, restlessness and irritability are like walls, squeezing in from all directions.  But he didn't know that there were many, many people like him who couldn't sleep.  Roosevelt conceived his speech plan over and over again, trying to use this opportunity to win sympathy and win re-election. He also hoped to use this opportunity to inspire the people's determination to resist tyranny and break through the long-troubled isolationism.

    In Beijing, Yang Qiu also postponed the regular presidential meeting, waiting for the bomb to be detonated.

    At ten o¡¯clock in the morning on March 25, the answer to the mystery that disturbed the Atlantic Ocean was finally revealed at the Broadway Theater.  The Polish government-in-exile, headed by Sikorski, rented an entire theater and showed images and evidence of the massacre to hundreds of reporters from around the world.

    Shock!  cry!  Tears and anger!  Everyone watching was stunned by the Soviet Union's deliberate massacre to eliminate Polish elites!  No one would think that war is clean, but in normal times, all countries and militaries do such things very secretly. It is really unique that tens of thousands of white people were publicly executed like this and were filmed!  Most infuriatingly, the massacre was clearly planned, with civilians, educators, scientists and even clergy executed en masse.  The shot of pointing a pistol directly at the head and firing at close range is really unbearable for Americans who pride themselves on being civilized.  When it was finally learned that the total number of deaths exceeded 43,000, and 4,000 of them were neither soldiers nor soldiers at all, everyone gasped!

    Although there are still people who doubt whether the image is true or false, anyone with any sense can know that if the Polish government-in-exile dares to release news in New York, the most prosperous city in the world, there must be enough evidence!

    They were not wrong.  After a few hours of the massacre documentary was played, a figure who had disappeared for a long time and once caused a sensation in the intelligence circles of various countries suddenly jumped out of the water.

    Ivan Mir, Stalin¡¯s confidant who has followed Stalin for more than ten years, former Cheka Director of the Soviet Union, Commander of the Internal Affairs Forces, and the author of the most serious defection incident in Soviet history!

    It might still be controversial if it were someone else, but the appearance of this name dispelled 90% of the doubts.  "Butcher!  "The executioner of Georgia!"  "A crime against the entire human world!"  "Save Poland!"  "Destroy the Soviet Union!"  ¡·.  Newspapers across the United States were instantly filled with news of the Holocaust and lurid headlines.  But that's not enough!  In just 48 hours, thousands of copies were dumped out of Beijing, Shanghai, Singapore, Riyadh, Cairo, Istanbul, Paris, London, Berlin, New York, Toronto, Sydney, and Sao Paulo, and the entire world was involved in verbal and written criticism of the Soviet Union.  and condemnation.

    The U.S. Congress and the Red Cross immediately intervened.  Announced the formation of a joint investigation team and sent a public inquiry telegram to the Soviet government, demanding that prisoner-of-war camps be opened for inspection and whether the people in the picture were still alive.

    The call back was quick, but only four words.

    "No comment."

    Angry, still angry, countless people were angered by this call back.

    That afternoon, Roosevelt gave a public speech in the Senate, pleading with the American people to help Poland in distress.  Punish the murderer severely.  At the end of the speech, he hinted that the scale of the war is expanding, and the United States should stand up bravely and decisively to help friendly countries completely defeat the dictators who are killing the world!  Passion finally cracked open a tiny crack in isolationism.  Although a comprehensive breakthrough was impossible, the U.S. Congress quickly passed a bill to support Poland after the speech, announcing that it would provide $50 million in aid to the Polish interim government and provide all the equipment of five divisions.

    News of the massacre completely rocked the world.  The act of kidnapping public opinion shattered Churchill's dream of Britain and the Soviet Union. He was furious but had no choice but to let Cunningham let him go.  When tens of thousands of Polish soldiers, angered by news of the massacre, rushed day and night to Central Asia.  Hitler also jumped out surprisingly after a long absence.

    Of course, he didn't care about massacres, and even admired Stalin's method of annihilating a country's elite. He privately told Hilem to learn and apply it to the concentration camps, and then immediately bypassed the General Staff and ordered the transfer of five men from the Western Front.  A division reinforced the German-controlled Polish areas.

    Are you going to attack the Soviet Union?  !

    Ying and France¡¯s eyes widened with excitement, this is a big turn of events!  Therefore, the two countries immediately stopped all actions that angered Germany. They wished they could send dozens of ships of arms for free to make the two countries fight more fiercely.  Even the German General Staff and the officers and soldiers of the three armed forces were confused. Even Guderian abandoned military affairs and went to Berlin to question himself.  You must know that the Yellow Plan is fully prepared and can attack at any time as long as the weather gets hotter. How can it cause unnecessary trouble?  Besides, wouldn't it be better for Poland to disrupt the deployment of Britain and France?

    When the whole world and even our own people were deceived by Hitler, the Polish nation completely exploded!  There were serious riots in Soviet-controlled Poland, the Baltic Sea and other areas, and guerrilla attacks were carried out against Soviet soldiers.??Surges a hundred times!  Tens of thousands of young people smuggled abroad and joined the Chinese Army in Poland.  According to incomplete statistics, within a week after the news of the massacre was made public, 70,000 Poles from all over the world bought tickets to China and the Persian Gulf. By the end of April, this number had increased to 270,000!

    Ivan Mir!  Ivan Mir!  !  Ivan Mir!  !  !

    The name that kept Stalin unable to sleep peacefully for nearly ten years has appeared again. Moscow's top leaders are in chaos, and it even affects the Tashkent campaign.

    But who would have thought that the owner of this name who became famous all over the world overnight and reversed human history has long been lying quietly in the Beijing Martyrs Cemetery.  There's not even a picture or name on his tombstone.  "Please rest in peace, my hero. Your country and the nation you are dedicated to protecting, because of you, the road has become broad and boundless." In front of the quiet tomb passage, Yang Qiu placed a lily in front of three parallel tombstones.  Finally, he got up and walked away (To be continued)
