Moscow, the Kremlin!

In the low-key and luxurious No. 1 office, Stalin still combed his trademark back and his piercing eyes as aggressive as a lion, sitting behind a large desk, reviewing documents submitted at home and abroad. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

When he was in a report of the General Staff of the Soviet Army about increasing nuclear ~~! ~~ After signing his symbolic, and also representative of supreme power, Stalin took off his reading glasses on the bridge of his nose and pinched his broad eyebrows a little tiredly.

The resolute face showed indescribable exhaustion, he was already 72 years old, and the heavy state affairs excited this power maniac, but also made him more and more powerless, like his gray hair, although he tried everything to stop it first, but the rings of time were still ruthlessly depriving him of everything.

"The number of nuclear ~~ weapons of the Soviet Union is not enough, and in the face of the aggressive posture of the United States, Europe and East Asia, it is still necessary to strengthen the development of a new generation of weapons and equipment, including nuclear ~~ weapons!"

After a cup of strong coffee, the exhaustion was temporarily suppressed, and the wisdom and tenacity returned to the old man again, the brain that never stopped thinking, and the documents of the General Staff of the Soviet Army just now surfaced, and at this moment the door of the office knocked softly.

Stalin knew that at this time only his core confidential secretary Boskorebeshev dared to knock on his office, so he habitually took a deep breath and said to the door with a full breath: "Come in!" ”

Boskrebeshev is now nearly sixty years old, with a big bald head, obviously very sophisticated and capable, but the moment he stepped into the office, he did a good job of hiding the exposed edge, and his silent face happened to freeze admiration and loyalty, quickly and lightly walked to Stalin's side, and handed over a document he had just received with both hands: "The diplomatic note just sent by the Chinese side hopes that we will fulfill the previously promised issues of army equipment and North Korean air defense. ”

When Stalin heard this, his gray and heavy brows couldn't help frowning, and he seemed to be a little impatient; this was the fourth diplomatic note sent by China to the Soviet Union after the Korean war began; it was true that before China sent troops to Korea, out of consideration of the Soviet Union's own interests, Stalin promised China that he would provide more than a dozen divisions of army equipment and undertake air defense combat missions in northeast China and even northern Korea.

However, when China officially sent troops to Korea, these promised equipment were not handed over to China immediately, and as for assisting in air defense, it was limited to Northeast China.

After all, the United States is the world's largest military power, and the number of nuclear weapons far exceeds that of the Soviet Union, coupled with its powerful long-range bomber force, the Soviet Union is facing a far greater than~~! ~~ Germany was a stronger opponent, and although the Soviet Union also adopted a lot of tough postures to resist the United States' approach, the effect was not satisfactory.

Not to mention, just a year ago, the Berlin crisis that broke out due to the blockade of the Soviet Union was originally Stalin's use of the division of East and West Germany to force the West to make concessions, but he did not expect that the United States' attitude was even tougher than imagined, and during the blockade, the use of powerful air forces and a large-scale military transport fleet forced the Soviet Union to open up an unprecedented air passage under the condition that the Soviet Union completely closed road traffic.

So at the same time, the US troops in Europe quickly entered the first level of combat readiness, and the carriers were originally ~~! ~~ The B-29 strategic bombers of the bullets kept drawing circles around the Baltic and Black Seas, and in the face of the imminent nuclear deterrence, Stalin had to make concessions, so after gaining some face-saving "victories", the blockade of Berlin was lifted.

After a year, if we look at the actions of the US military in North Korea, how similar they are to the Berlin crisis a year ago, except that one is a tense but not triggered a cold war, and the other is a hot war with gunsmoke billowing out, but it does not matter whether it is a cold war or a hot war.

Stalin's bottom line was not to go head-to-head with the United States, and although he talked in public that the Soviet Union could defeat the United States in 10,000 ways, the real situation was that the old man who had lived through two world wars knew better than anyone that the Soviet Union could no longer withstand the devastation of the Third World War.

Therefore, he did not want the Soviet Union to have to confront the United States head-on because of China's recklessness, and even if he agreed to send troops to Korea, he only wanted to use China's strength to rub the sharp spirit of the Americans, and as for beating the Americans back to the 38th parallel, or even completely liberating the Korean Peninsula, Stalin did not even think about it.

After all, no matter how powerful the Chinese army is, it will not be able to compete with the world's largest military power, as long as it can hold the strategic buffer zone from the north of Korea to the Yalu River, it will be considered a miracle, otherwise he will not let the North Korean government prepare for the worst, once it is impossible to do anything, he will directly retreat to China or the Soviet Union and set up a government-in-exile.

In a word, Stalin had no confidence in the Chinese army at all, and because of this, he ordered the suspension of the delivery of weapons and equipment to China and the restriction of air defense in northeastern China, just to see how things would develop, so as not to put all the chips in his hands down, not to mention the loss, and possibly lead to even greater trouble.

So he didn't look at the cliché Chinese diplomatic note at all, but picked up the black pipe that had followed him for many years, habitually put it in his mouth and bit it, and then raised his head and looked at Bosk Klebeshev: "How is the situation of the Chinese army in North Korea?" ”

"According to the report sent by the Chinese government, they won a great victory in one of their battles, annihilating a total of four regiments of the South Korean army and nearly six companies ......of the troops of the United States and other countries."

"Knocking out six companies in the United States is still a major victory? What a joke, it's almost the same to eat three of them! Before Pos Krebeshev finished speaking, Stalin sarcastically interrupted his secretary's words, and then muttered for a moment and shook his head: "Tell the comrades of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the General Staff that it is dragging on, and now is not the time, we still have to take a look!" ”

"Yes!" Poskorebeshev bowed down respectfully, saluted Stalin like an emperor, but did not leave the office, Stalin was such a smart man, seeing this, he didn't ask much, he leaned directly on the comfortable office chair, and said lightly without care: "What else, let's talk!" ”

"General Korolev, the Soviet Union's general adviser to China, has just handed over a briefing note about some other ideas of the Chinese comrades, which are very different from their diplomatic note today!"

"Oh?" As soon as he heard that it was some other ideas from the Chinese, and that it was sent by his own people, Stalin suddenly became interested, so he beckoned: "Take it, I'll see!" ”

Pos Krebeshev hurriedly handed Korolev's briefing from the folder in his hand, Stalin put on reading glasses, took a cursory look at it and couldn't help laughing: "These cute Chinese, if you don't want weapons and equipment, it's like asking for some scrap copper and rotten iron from a defeated country, haha~~ Interesting......"
