Chapter 165: Changing the Costume (Part II)
Bai Yi and the others came to Moscow this morning, and then were arranged by Korolev's friend Pos Krebeshev to this hotel on the outskirts of Moscow. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
There may be strong personal feelings in this, but it is undeniable that the political ties between the two countries are also internal reasons that cannot be ignored, after all, Stalin is a 72-year-old man, and the exile of his youth, the purges of the 30s, and the Second World War, which has just passed, seem to exhaust all his energy.
By the time the war was won, Stalin's health deteriorated, and in the 50s, it was even worse day by day, just two months ago, Stalin was urgently treated for a mild stroke and rapid heart rate, but the Kremlin did a good job of secrecy, so that many Soviet leaders did not know about Stalin's condition.
But others don't know, but Pos Krebeshev, who is Stalin's confidant and confidential secretary, knows better than anyone else, and because of this, the first secretary of the Soviet Union, who is known as "Stalin's shadow" by the outside world, is very worried in his heart, you must know that the power structure of the Soviet Union is essentially similar to that of the Tsarist period, all of them are once a son of heaven and a courtier.
Pos Krebeshev, who had followed Stalin for more than twenty years, was likely to be thoroughly purged when the new leader came to power. If you want to keep your position, and even go one step up to the core of power in the Soviet Politburo, you must have a strong force to support it.
Pos Krebeshev can be said to know this, but the problem is looking at the entire Soviet Union, but there are very few trustworthy people who are the first secretary of the Soviet Union, Zhukov is very strong in the military, but after the war, he was hidden by Stalin because of his high achievements, and Persian Krebeshev just wanted to contact, and he did not dare to do it rashly when Stalin was built, otherwise it was possible that the grand goal was not achieved, and he might be pulled down.
The intelligence boss Beria is also very powerful, but Pos Krebeshev doesn't even think about it, there is no way Beria is too cold-blooded and ruthless, Pos Krebeshev has experienced the purge in the 30s, so he knows very well what a cruel and cold heart is under Beria's gentle face.
After all, Stalin will not be in a big problem for a while, and taking advantage of this time, coupled with his unique position, it is very likely that he will become an important political force in the post-Stalin era with a little operation.
So Pos Krebeshev quickly took action, and the first object he wooed was none other than Korolev, who was the chief adviser of the Soviet advisory group in China, and at that time Pos Krebeshev only asked this friend to serve as his military support.
But he didn't expect Korolev to be even more powerful than he imagined, not only did his work in China very good, but also developed the "Stalin" rapid-fire gun with Berekov, this kind of research and development spirit of forgetting sleep and food happened to scratch Stalin's itch, you must know that Stalin at this time was preparing to continue to increase investment in armaments, and then set off a new round of arms race.
In addition, Korolev, a general who can not only go into battle to kill the enemy, but also calm down to engage in scientific research is unique in the Soviet army, so when the head of the KGB reported this information to Stalin, Korolev's name was deeply imprinted in the mind of the iron-blooded leader, and became a new celebrity in the eyes of the revolutionary leader.
Pos Krebeshev knew this, but he pretended not to know, because he, like Stalin, also hoped that Korolev would go further, so after several private communications, Korolev's briefing was called to Pos Krebeshev through secret channels, and Bai Yi and others also arrived in Moscow in a low-key manner, and then were arranged in this hotel.
"That bald head is Poskorebeshev, who has been a confidential secretary by Stalin's side for twenty years, and is one of the few people who can speak in front of Stalin!"
Bai Yi took a deep breath of cigarette, and then tightened the cotton coat on his body, and Chen Yaoyang, who was standing behind him, couldn't help but be surprised, he only knew that the old bald head who arranged their residence was a high-ranking senior cadre, but he didn't think that this person turned out to be Stalin's most confidant secretary.
In this regard, Chen Yaoyang can be said to be convinced, because he knows that Bai Yi has lived, studied, and fought in the Soviet Union for nearly ten years, and from his skills and the invitation to Korolev some time ago, it can be seen that his roommate is quite familiar with the internal political situation in the Soviet Union, so it is not difficult to know who Stalin's secretary is, so Chen Yaoyang is a little uneasy, and an inexplicable excitement swept away his previous worries, and then said in a trembling voice: "So, can we succeed?" ”
"I can only say that there is eighty percent hope, after all, when I handed over the conditions to Korolev along with the design drawings of the 30mm three-barreled rapid-fire gun, it was completely out of our control!"
Bai Yi was right, although he was vaguely aware of the unclear secret between the then Soviet general adviser and Stalin's personal secretary in the historical materials of his previous life, it was vague after all, not to mention that with the coming to power of Khrushchev and the complete liquidation of Stalin, the only vague record was not drowned in the vast historical torrent.
So Bai Yi is really also gambling, betting on Korolev's ambition to be not satisfied with the status quo, and betting on Boskorebeshev's ambition to become a high-level member of the Soviet Union, but things are too vague after all, not to mention that he doesn't know whether his little butterfly who has crossed over will disrupt the original historical process this time, and then make him backfire.
What's more, the end result is that it must be done with the nod of Stalin, and that is Stalin, a leader who is as strong as steel, and whose attitude cannot be swayed by anyone but himself!
In this regard, Bai Yi, like Chen Yaoyang, can only wait except wait......
Seeing this, Chen Yaoyang seemed to be a little unwilling, and just wanted to say something, the phone in the room suddenly rang, Chen Yaoyang, who just wanted to speak, couldn't help but be stunned, and immediately looked at Bai Yi who turned back in amazement, and then Chen Yaoyang picked it up in an arrow step, and then heard the clear and proud voice of Boskrebeshev on the other end of the phone: "My dear Chinese comrades, the great Comrade Stalin has agreed to your plan, and you can go to the First Machine-Building in Moscow tomorrow!" ”
"Davaris, Ullah~~"
As soon as these words came out, Chen Yaoyang immediately cheered, and Bai Yi also exhaled a long breath: "Finally won the bet!" ”
