Chapter 634: Aftermath
"Sure?"
Eder asked Hol Monkman in front of him very seriously, and the sincerity of his eyes made the intelligence chief feel a little cold. The reason was that he had never seen such a serious look in His Majesty's eyes, and it could even make him feel frightened.
"Your Majesty, this news has been sent by our secret intelligence officers from Leningrad after repeated confirmation, and there is absolutely no mistake."
Listening to Hall Monchman's answer made Eder's heart breathe a sigh of relief.
He couldn't help but be concerned about this, not because he had a grudge against this Kirov, but because a future event that would be extremely beneficial to Romania was triggered from here.
I believe that everyone who knows the Soviet Union is familiar with the term "Great Purge", and Eder was also a keyboard warrior in his previous life, so it is very normal to know this. The consequences of the purge were also very serious for the Soviet Union, and now very important for Romania. The gap in strength between the Soviet Union and Romania has been widening with the implementation of the Second Five-Year Plan of the Soviet Union. If this continues, Romania will simply not have the strength to compete with it.
And now, through his knowledge of Stalin, Eder believed that the Great Purge was necessary. The reason is very simple, the pace of industrialization in the USSR cannot be slowed down at the moment. But there was a lot of complaints among the people at home about the ever-increasing burdensome tasks, not only among the people, but also within the Communist Party of the Soviet Union against Stalin.
In the 1934 Central Committee elections, Stalin received the most negative votes of 292. Politburo member Kaganovich ordered the ballot papers to be destroyed, announcing that Stalin and Kirov were tied for three negative votes, and Stalin could succeed him as general secretary.
From this you can see how loud the opposition to Stalin was in the party at that time. Among these voices of opposition, the onerous tasks from the five-year plan accounted for the absolute majority, and it is believed that Stalin also knew this.
In order for the Soviet Union to successfully complete the implementation of the Five-Year Plan, it is necessary to give it a substantial reward, such as official praise, but this method can only increase people's enthusiasm to a limited extent. After all, man is not a machine that can work hard and continuously, man is a complex emotional animal, there are joys and losses, and it is impossible to work non-stop. No matter how high the reward is, it can't be like a machine.
So what can be done to make people forget to sleep and eat?
Only fear can.
When the fear of death hangs over the heart, it will make everyone forget to sleep and eat, and make everyone want to complete their own efforts and send out endless motivation.
So it doesn't matter how Kirov died, at least not in Stalin's heart. Even if he was assassinated by a man bent on making big news, then Kirov's death had to be made worthwhile. Therefore, expansion has become inevitable, and it must be done by a handful of anti-party elements in the country. These people can be those who are against industrialization, or those who are against Stalin.
As for why the Great Purge entered a new phase from 1936, the reason is very simple, the Second Five-Year Plan was completed ahead of schedule in this year. This method is very practical, so you need to continue to use it.
Let everyone know that if he does not work hard and does not love the USSR and Comrade Stalin, then he is an anti-party element and needs to be tried. Of course, not every anti-party element needs to be shot, and shooting these people is a waste of bullets and valuable manpower. Let them go to the most difficult areas of the Soviet Union, contribute to the construction of the great Soviets, and atone for their sins with their labor.
As for whether the case will be overturned after death, as long as the Soviet Union becomes strong and as long as the Soviet Union is not bullied by other countries, then all this is worth it.
This was Eder's perception of Stalin's next move. In a sense, Stalin was the staunchest patriot. He loved the Soviet Union, the motherland, and did not hesitate to risk the lives of his son and others. At the same time, he was also a very suspicious man, he did not trust anyone, and for this power had to be concentrated in his hands.
Stalin, who was influenced by these two special characteristics, had his own unique charisma as a leader. Every leader has his own unique charisma, and no one is the same.
And Eder, as an opponent, is actually still lacking compared to him. If it weren't for the memories of his past life, he couldn't have been his opponent, even if he was destined to be a king from birth.
However, with the memories of his previous life and the habits of the main opponents at the table, he is somewhat confident.
Of course, it is not enough to have confidence, you need to have enough strength to get your rightful position in the overall situation in the future, and this is what Eder is most concerned about.
To this end, it is necessary to accelerate the pace of integration between Bulgaria and Romania, and for this reason he has prepared a plan to increase the integration of education between the two countries, starting with education. For Romanian schools to learn Bulgarian, and for Bulgarian schools to learn Romanian, students from both countries should be able to understand each other's words, or at least allow for smooth communication between the two sides. After all, education must start from the baby, so communication must also start from the baby.
For this reason, he called the Bulgarian Prime Minister Krstev over and told him about his plans.
"Your Majesty, the whole method is very good, and it can deepen the ties and exchanges between the two countries. In the long run, this will be beneficial to both of us by bridging the gap between the two peoples. ”
Prime Minister Kersteff forgot that he had asked the Minister of Education and Health to do the issue of adding Romanian to the textbook, and said in the middle of the story. "Then strengthen the exchanges between the schools of the two countries, organize the interaction of students from the two countries, and let the two sides understand each other more, this plan is complementary, I don't know what Your Majesty thinks?"
"Very good."
Hearing Prime Minister Kersteff's words, Edel replied with satisfaction.
"Then I'll ask the Minister of Education and Health to come up with a plan for His Majesty to see."
After seeing off the Prime Minister, Eder asked his own chief of guard. "Horia, what's in store for the next few days?"
"Your Majesty, next you need to meet with the representatives of the Bulgarian industry and commerce. We will also visit the largest factory in Bulgaria, the El Hierro Minerals Smelting Company, and tomorrow you will go to Plovdiv to meet with local representatives and inspect local schools. The day after tomorrow, he inspected the agricultural production in the area and expressed his condolences to the local farmers. And it's better to eat at the farmer's shelf, and there's ......"
"Alright, don't talk about Horia."
Looking at the chief of the guard who was talking about his next trip, Eder felt sick to his stomach. He had already visited many places in Bulgaria before, and the process was basically the same, and he was a little tired of it.
