Imperial Overlord

The news that Stalin received recently is not good news: First, the Far East, including Siberia, has not accepted his constraints and leadership.

This news made him even more angry than the worsening situation in the Moscow theater, because what he feared most was not the rampant German army, but the loss of control over the Soviet Union.

Therefore, although Khrushchev has been trying to remind Stalin and remind the steel father of the importance of the Moscow theater to the entire Soviet-German war, he resolutely launched a new round of remote control cleaning.

The pain brought by the Great Purge to the Soviet Union is far from dissipating, so when a new round of purges begins, everyone knows that a new disaster is about to come.

The Soviet internal affairs troops under Stalin's command, that is, the troops commanded by Beria and others, launched a larger-scale purge in Chelyabinsk.

The original commander of this unit was Yezhov, the executioner of the internal affairs unit who framed Marshal Tukhachevsky.

It is a pity that Beria is better than blue, easily replaced Yezhov in front of Stalin, and personally turned the head of the intelligence department, who was his boss, into a prisoner.

In 1940, around the same time Germany swept France and conquered Britain, the Soviet Union executed Yezhov, and there is evidence that he died dignified.

He was stripped naked by Beria's men, then beaten to the point of being bruised and bruised before being executed.

Political struggles in the Soviet Union have always been cruel. For example, Kirov, who died in the Stalin era, died inexplicably, and the ruthless man named Trotsky who fled abroad and still failed to survive.

In this clean-up, some so-called centrists who were preparing to make peace with the German army were eliminated, and the remaining people were once again kowtowed to Stalin.

The blood and the cold Siberian concentration camps awakened their fear of Stalin. Stalin's iron-fisted policy once again enveloped the Soviet Union.

Even though the Far East is still high and the emperor is far away, and even if it is still difficult to mobilize because of the chaos, Stalin still restores unified command over the whole country in terms of the situation.

"Comrade Stalin, the great leader of the Soviet Union, several people who took the lead in questioning you have been dealt with." Beria lowered his head and whispered to Stalin.

Stalin was obviously dissatisfied with this large-scale operation, and asked coldly: "Now that the chaos in Chelyabinsk has become like this, how can I direct it?"

Beria doesn't want to be like this, and he also wants to know why his subordinates are so aggressive in Chelyabinsk.

So he could only reply in a low voice: "Comrade Stalin, the great leader of the Soviet Union, there are too many people out there who want to betray you on their own, that's why it's like this."

Stalin snorted coldly, a little disdain: "They are whimsical and don't take me seriously... In just a few days, they forgot their original oath and chose to betray me?"

It's easy to talk about this subject and Stalin always ends up in a rage, giving more extreme orders, and then doing more uncontrolled things.

So, General Vatutin, a rising star on the military side standing beside Stalin, bent down, approached Stalin's ear and said: "Comrade Stalin, the great leader of the Soviet Union... Now what we have to worry about is that the rear is in chaos, and our southern Moscow is again In a hurry, how can we maintain the current situation?”

If the Germans take Moscow, then there will be a million elite troops marching south, and Stalingrad may not be a safe place at that time.

Maybe even worse, the Germans would capture Kursk and go all the way from the north and rear to near Stalingrad.

And the collapse of the side will eventually turn the frontal defense into a meaningless and futile struggle, so the frontal front will also collapse.

Once the Germans are allowed to fight a mobile war, or to put it more bluntly, if the German troops are allowed to fight the pursuit, encirclement and annihilation warfare that they are good at, then the fate of the 2 million Soviet troops will not be better than the millions of Soviet troops in the central theater and the northern theater. Where is the army going?

"Then do you have any good solution? The Romanian and Italian troops are about to capture Odessa. If the troops give up Odessa, the Germans will soon capture the entire Ukraine." Without waiting for Stalin to say anything, Bella said sarcastically.

Recently, Stalin trusted General Vatutin in front of him, so Beria felt a crisis. Without Stalin's trust, he was just meat on a chopping board.

A good example is his former boss Yezhov, because he lost Stalin's trust, and in less than two years, he turned from a well-known hound among the top Soviet leaders into a corpse.

Therefore, Beria was reluctant to let Vatutin grow stronger, and before Stalin interrupted him, he gave a suggestion to keep Vatutin away from Stalin: "It's better to let Comrade Vatutin lead his troops to defend Kursk. ...so we don't have to worry about being attacked by the enemy!"

In fact, Stalin was very tempted by this suggestion, and he also hoped that he would trust the optimistic General Vatutin to command the troops to guard an important line of defense.

But he is still ready to use practical actions to convey some impelling messages to Beria: "Comrade Beria, I hope you will not be emotional when you speak."

Hearing his words in Beria ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ made people shiver all over. So Beria immediately apologized to Stalin: "I'm sorry, Comrade Stalin, the great leader of the Soviet Union..."

"Go to Chelyabinsk yourself!" To the contrary, Stalin had the idea of ​​sending Beria on a mission.

According to Stalin's thoughts, Beria was a loyal dog, and it was a good plan for him to go to Chelyabinsk to sit in town.

"You must stabilize the rear and let them organize production with peace of mind. War requires weapons of victory, and you must increase the speed of producing weapons of victory!" Stalin stood up and ordered by slapping Beria on the shoulder. .

Hearing this order, Bellia's face turned pale. He was reluctant to leave Stalin, but now he could not disobey Stalin's orders.

The good news is that he relied on Stalin's prestige and killed many people who threatened his status before. Now several important competitors do not seem to be too difficult to deal with.

"I understand, Comrade Stalin! I'm going to Chelyabinsk now." Thinking of this, Beria could only answer straight.
