Chapter Eighty-Nine: Achievement

Even from the German point of view, the Soviet Union's development achievements were admirable, and the first two five-year plans under Stalin were a great success that exceeded expectations. The Soviet Union has risen back from the ashes of the old Russian Empire, and all fields of industry, agriculture, military and science and technology are developing rapidly, and the influence of the Red regime on the world even exceeds that of the imperial era.

Stalin wanted to restore the glory of Tsarist Russia, and in order to achieve this goal, he spared no effort, even the use of violence, to remove any obstacle in his way.

Some sources say that Stalin was mentally ill, which is obviously a ridiculous rumor that a madman could not have led the country to such remarkable achievements, and if Lenin led his Bolshevik comrades to bury a feudal empire full of serfs, then Stalin relied on his personal authority to build a powerful socialist alliance on the remains of the empire.

The impact of domestic violence at an early age led to Stalin's lack of trust in outsiders, and his worldview was laid in the madrasas, and it was the revolutionary mentor Vladimir who really guided him in the direction of his life and made him. Lenin.

Lenin trusted Stalin almost unreservedly, and he had direct access to Lenin's office without notice, a privilege granted to only two people in the entire Bolshevik Party, Stalin and Trotsky.

There is no doubt that Stalin was Lenin's personally chosen successor, and although Lenin saw his true face on his deathbed, he was exhausted by that time.

After Lenin's death, Trotsky became the man who posed the greatest threat to Stalin, the founder of the Red Army, who had the qualifications and connections to wrestle with Stalin if he wanted to. Unfortunately, the old Bolshevik was too pedantic, he was a dogmatist, insisting that everything must be done according to the rules, and as a result, when Stalin used the organizational procedures to launch a general attack on the old party member, he was completely powerless except to be angry, because he could not violate his own principles, and as a party member, he had to obey the decisions of the organization, so Trotsky was kicked out and Stalin won a total victory.

Stalin's purges dealt a heavy blow to the Soviet Union, purging a group of old Bolsheviks who had participated in the October Revolution, and almost none of Lenin's comrades-in-arms and followers remained, and Stalin gained supreme power, which allowed him to transform the Soviets as he wanted to be.

Relying on the First Five-Year Plan, he began to transform the Soviet Union into an industrialized country, and the original Russian Empire was a completely agrarian country, and the seemingly powerful empire was actually built on the shoulders of thousands of Russian serfs.

When Stalin took over the leadership, he was faced with a huge mess, which was obviously much more tragic than the mustache in the west. The vast Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, but the gross domestic product is only half that of Germany, you must know that this data is still in the Weimar Republic, and Hitler has not yet come to power. What airplanes, automobiles, shipbuilding, steel, all are the legacy of the imperial Russian era, if it was invaded by a strong enemy at that time, the powerful alliance would definitely be finished.

Stalin began to set up collective farms, squeezing out the last grain of grain from the peasants in exchange for Western technology and industrial machinery. Stalin, relying on German support and American loans, built up Soviet heavy industry almost on flat ground. With power plants and steel mills, and the manufacture of highly efficient mining machinery, the Soviet Union had the conditions for large-scale exploitation of domestic resources.

Then the development of the Soviet Union entered a virtuous circle, and the national promotion of labor competitions mobilized the enthusiasm of factory and miners, and the results of labor also improved the quality of life of workers, both in terms of wages and supplies.

The common people did not care what Stalin was doing in the center, they only saw that Stalin had put them in a brand new wooden house, and there was black bread on the dining table every day. As the standard of living improved, the hostility towards Stalin gradually disappeared in society, and he began to be admired and embraced by the people.

The success of the Second Five-Year Plan has led to a rapid increase in the national strength of the Soviet Union, which has established a complete industrial system and has a certain degree of independent scientific research capabilities, and is no longer threatened and suppressed by those Western industrial countries. Stalin was complacent, believing that the Soviet Union had re-emerged under his leadership and could regain the lost glory of the Russian Empire, and even go further, pushing the borders into the heart of Europe and accomplishing what successive generations of imperial monarchs had failed to achieve.

In 39, the Soviet Union and Germany joined forces to carve up Poland, and immediately began to plan to annex the three Baltic states.

Then the Soviet Union provoked a war with Finland, but the result was that most people broke their glasses, including Stalin himself, of course, the powerful Soviet Red Army suffered heavy losses at the hands of the tough Finnish resisters, and if it were not for the overwhelming support of national power, I really don't know what this war would eventually turn into, and finally the war ended with Finland ceding land and suing for peace, and finally saved the face of Comrade Steel.

In June 40, the Soviet government demanded that Romania surrender the region of Bessarabia in the northeastern Balketian Mountains, and that Romania hand over North Bukovina to his Moldovan republics, on the grounds that the Romanian government's anti-Soviet policy posed a threat to the Soviet border, which was already a shameless robbery.

At that time, the German Führer was still Hitler, and in order to maintain friendly relations with the Soviet Union, he did not hesitate to reject Romania's request for help, in fact, there was also a desire to teach a lesson to the ignorant Carol II, the king had just suppressed the pro-German fascist organization "Iron Guard" in the country, which was funded by Hitler.

Carol II had no choice but to submit to the demands of the Soviet Union and cede the two provinces to the Soviet Union, only to be rebuked by the Romanian government and the public, and after two months of cheeky insistence, the king could only pass the throne to his son Mihai I, and he went into exile with a wagon of treasure.

Then history changed, and the new dictator of Germany took the stage, and at the snap of his fingers, France surrendered on his knees, and the Great Britain Tree was destroyed with a raised hand.

Antonescu received the authority of the Romanian dictator, and the prime minister, who was originally inclined to Germany, fell more completely to the Third Reich than in history, and Romania became the first country in Eastern Europe to sign a military alliance treaty with Germany, and Romania was also strongly supported and rewarded by Germany in return.

Stalin, of course, was very dissatisfied with this, because Romania's attitude towards the Soviet Union began to harden, and although it did not dare to take the initiative to provoke a conflict, for almost a month the Romanian border crossings became very frequent.

Patrols of the Soviet border guards often found suspicious traces on the border, indicating that people and even vehicles had sneaked into the Soviet Union from the Romanian side, and although the border guards carried out a search, they quickly lost track of their targets in the dense mountains and jungles.

Bessarabia is the land of Romania, where countless Romanians have lived for generations, and if they want to hide a few people, it is as easy as drinking water. And beyond the border of Bessarabia, there is Ukraine, an important member of the Soviet Union.
