Beria had a strong position in Stalin's regime, but he was always on the dark side, so his popularity was really not very good, which is why he quickly fell after Stalin's death.

At least more than half of the time, Beria instructed his men to kill Trotsky, whom Stalin was so jealous of, and he became the second most sought-after man in the Soviet Union.

As for who Trotsky was, it was a fierce man who had a dispute with Mr. Lenin and who had caused Comrade Lenin to touch his nose.

This great god was so fierce that Stalin had no choice but to use the sore foot of "arguing with Comrade Lenin" to force things out. Later, he sent Beria to finish off Trotsky, and only then did he get rid of a piece of his heart.

Indeed, during the years when Stalin was in power, Beria could definitely be considered the number two man in the Soviet Union, he controlled the internal guard troops and never left Stalin's surroundings.

It's a pity that this poor man was not able to fight Khrushchev in the end, and together with Malenkov in real history, became a stepping stone for Khrushchev.

But now, he still follows Stalin, exercising his rights as the number two man.

"Everything in Chelyabinsk is still under our control, and if Comrade Stalin is allowed to go there, we will be much safer." Standing in a clearing, watching cars, horses and tanks walk down the country road, Beria said to Stalin's secretary, who was standing beside him.

Stalin's secretary looked at the motorcade in front of him depressedly, eager to arrive at a place where he could really stop as soon as possible.

Now the convoy seems to be small in number, but in order to control the whole country, the equipment carried and the people who follow it are actually not a lot.

Such a convoy spends much more time every day stopping to receive information than it does on the road.

It was precisely because of this that they were not able to reach Stalingrad as fast as they could, and could only advance slowly halfway.

For Stalin's secretaries, there was really not much difference between going to Chelyabinsk and going to Stalingrad, because as long as they were in the rear and safe, they would be fine.

In comparison, Stalingrad may not be a good place to go, but Zhukov's army of 2 million is a good place to rely on.

As long as Zhukov remained loyal, Stalin had an elite army in his hands, and even if he could not resist the German invasion, he was still very sure of controlling power in the country.

"It's not that I don't try my best to persuade Comrade Stalin to go to Chelyabinsk, it's that Comrade Stalin feels that the people there are no longer under his control." The secretary replied helplessly.

General Vatutin also hoped that Stalin, the leader of the country, would listen to his persuasion and retreat to Chelyabinsk to take control of the situation, which would be safer.

At the very least, if Moscow is lost, the Germans will not reach more distant Chelyabinsk when they immediately move south to encircle Zhukov.

Stalingrad, on the other hand, is right within the war zone. Of course, from the other side of the story, there is really not much difference between the two places.

Once the Germans occupy Moscow and a million-strong army moves south, the 2 million Soviet troops will be surrounded in Ukraine.

At that time, the entire Soviet Union will almost come to an end, and being in Chelyabinsk will only be caught a few days later.

Germany could not have stopped at Stalingrad, and the other side would have advanced into the Ural Mountains and ended the war there in the name of it.

From this point of view, there is no difference between Chelyabinsk and Stalingrad, as long as the war is lost, the outcome is the same everywhere.

However, this was not the case for Beria and others, who could have taken over the rest of the country if Stalin had ended his political career in a good place.

Malenkov, for example, Beria, they were all hoping that Stalin would leave in a good place.

Make an assumption that if Stalin had died in Stalingrad, then Malenkov and Molotov in Chelyabinsk would have won.

And if before Stalin's death, he and Beria rushed back to Chelyabinsk, then Beria, with Stalin's support, would have been able to seize power.

Therefore, Beria was thinking about how to get Stalin to change his mind and return to Chelyabinsk, but Stalin was a leader who was not willing to change his mind easily.

The stubborn bearded man did not agree to end the present war, and was unwilling to admit that he had been defeated, and in such a situation, he insisted on a protracted defeat.

Zhukov is now barely holding up the war in Ukraine, and most of the famous Soviet generals who are more senior than him have withdrawn.

For example, several famous marshals of the Soviet Union, Budyonny, Voroshilov, and Timoshenko, all ended their lives in a dignified way.

They failed to achieve victory, and after sacrificing their lives to the god of war, they became history in this plane.

The current Soviet Union is the era of Zhukov, Rokossovsky, Konev, Vatutin, and other generals, and it is also the era when the Soviet army should have counterattacked.

It's a pity that now Rokossovsky is trapped in Ryazan, Konev is also struggling in Moscow, and Vatutin accompanied Stalin to flee to Stalingrad.

"It was a painful choice." Beria complained depressedly to Stalin's secretary.

Stalin's secretary nodded, he also felt that his life was really not good—he could have been a high-ranking person, but now he was displaced.

"Find a way to get Comrade Stalin to Chelyabinsk! You are the future member of the People's Council! Looking at the somewhat reluctant Secretary Stalin, Beria offered his own price.

The members of the Council of People's Commissars were more or less the highest organ in the country that issued and carried out orders – first the Council of People's Commissars, then the Council of Ministers, and then the Cabinet of Ministers of the Soviet Union.

If you can enter such an institution, it is not a small secretary, but a prince who is really in charge of power, an absolute supreme minister.

After hearing this promise, the secretary swallowed a mouthful of saliva, looked at Beria and nodded, and gave his promise: "I will try my best to convince Comrade Stalin to return to Chelyabinsk and preside over the overall situation." ”

"Let's hope it's still too late...... After all, we still have the Far East, and we still have an army of millions! Looking at the cars and carriages that followed the troops in the distance, Beria muttered.
