"Vladimir Fedorovich," said Stalin, holding his pipe and looking in a good mood, "what do you think Finland should do?" Was it the formation of a union republic and the incorporation into the Soviet Union? Or to maintain the status quo, to maintain the status quo of the Democratic Republic of Finland as an independent socialist regime? ”

Helsinki was finally breached, Finland was finally defeated, the Soviet-backed Democratic Republic of Finland officially took over the whole of Finland, and the Communist Party of Finland finally got rid of its previous underground party status and was finally able to appear in the eyes of the Finnish people as a ruling party.

But Finland's fate does not depend on the hands of the Finnish Communist Party, they are just a "brother/puppet" regime established by the Soviet Union, and they need to obey the arrangements of the organization (the big brother of the Soviet Union), otherwise they are "disorganized and undisciplined." ”

In the interests of the Soviet Union, the annexation of Finland was of course the best, so that the Soviet Union could expand its territory by more than 300,000 square kilometers and obtain the resources (including mineral resources, industrial resources, and human resources) on Finnish land.

However, Finland's 338,000 square kilometers of land was not highly developed, coupled with the repeated bombing by the Soviet Union, many industrial facilities were destroyed, and the remaining Finland was just a mess, with little strategic and economic significance.

Although Finland's mineral resources have not been greatly affected, the Soviet Union, as a "revolutionary exporter/suzerain", was able to exploit all kinds of resources at will in the "independent" Democratic Republic of Finland, and the annexation of Finland will not have much impact on resource development.

Most problematicly, since the outbreak of the Soviet-Finnish war in 1939, anti-Soviet sentiment has been running high in Finland. Most of the Finnish people saw the Soviets as invaders and were very hostile to the Soviet regime. If Finland were to be incorporated into the Soviet Union, it would probably take a lot of resources to carry it out, and some troops would have to be left behind to suppress local anti-Soviet activities.

In this way, the annexation of Finland to the Soviet Union would have caused a lot of thorny problems, but without the Soviet Union, the result would have been similar, because everyone knew that the Democratic Republic of Finland was a puppet regime supported by the Soviet Union, and the mess of Finland would still have to be handled by the Democratic Republic of Finland and the Soviet Union behind it.

The only benefit of maintaining "independence" is to allow the Finns to have a "government that belongs to the Finns themselves", since the leadership and key officials of the Democratic Republic of Finland are made up of Finns, and it is not too controversial for the Finns to govern the Finns.

But anyone with a discerning eye knows that the Democratic Republic of Finland is actually a government supported by the Soviet Union, and the nationalists will rebel against the rule of the Democratic Republic of Finland just as our people bravely fought against Wang's puppet government.

"Comrade Stalin, I think we should allow Finland to join the USSR as a Soviet socialist republic, as we did in the three Baltic states." Manturov made his attitude clear in front of Stalin.

"But the Finnish people are very disgusted with us, and the revolt is fierce, and if Finland were to be incorporated into the Soviet Union, I am afraid that it will cause even greater resentment. If the Communist Party of Finland were allowed to govern independently, it might be able to control the situation. Stalin voiced his misgivings, and like Manturov, he feared that the annexation of Finland to the Soviet Union would provoke a revolt from the Finnish people.

"If you don't want to provoke a revolt from the Finnish people, the best thing to do is to restore the Western parliamentary democracy of the Finnish bandit era and let them elect their own government.

But to do so would undoubtedly be to lay the fruits of our revolution in the hands of the bourgeois nationalists, who will undoubtedly win the election, after all, the Finnish people now want independence. Manturov's remarks smacked of sarcasm, but on closer inspection, there was some truth.

Stalin took a puff of his cigarette and highlighted a puff of second-hand smoke, "How about maintaining the current state of affairs and allowing the Communist Party of Finland to govern independently?" ”

"I think," Manturov thought for a moment, "that would be no different from the annexation of Finland." The Finnish people seem to hate the comrades of the Communist Party of Finland more than we do, considering them traitors, as confirmed by the intelligence provided by the People's Commissariat for State Security. ”

Stalin nodded, and then said: "I can understand their feelings, and if someone betrays our Motherland and becomes a puppet of the Germans, I will hate him to the core."

Of course, the purpose of the Germans marching into the Soviet Union was to occupy our land, plunder our resources, and exterminate our nation; And the purpose of our march into Finland was to liberate the Finnish people from the rule of the bourgeoisie.

Whether Finland is incorporated into the Soviet Union as a member state or a socialist state governed by the Communist Party of Finland independently, we can achieve our goals. But no matter what we do, it will be difficult to get the approval of the Finnish people in the short term. ”

"In that case, it would not hurt for us to invite Finland to join the Soviet Union as a republic, which would not only give us access to Finnish land and resources, but also allow the Finnish people to be protected by us, and would be more conducive to the promotion of a republic among peoples."

Manturov noticed that a smile seemed to appear on Stalin's face, and when he saw this, he knew that he had made the right bet - Stalin did intend to annex Finland.

As the ruler of Russia, whether it is Stalin or the previous revolutionary mentors, in fact, they have always wanted to restore the territory of Tsarist Russia and establish a union of multi-ethnic republics with Russia as the main body on the basis of the original huge territory of the Russian Empire, which is the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics.

Since the beginning of the Russian Civil War, the Soviet Russian regime led by Lenin has begun to try to recover the territory of Tsarist Russia and liberate the people of this land. This task has not yet been completed, because Finland, which was originally part of Russia, is still in a state of independence.

In fact, in 1918, a civil war broke out in Finland, when the communist forces in Finland, with the help of Soviet Russia, successfully launched an uprising in Helsinki, the capital of Finland, while the White army, representing the interests of the Finnish bourgeoisie, retreated to the area around Varsa.

Although the Finnish Red Army captured the capital and received help from the Russians, they were eventually defeated by the Finnish White Army under the command of Mannerheim, who succeeded in unifying the whole of Finland and establishing the Republic of Finland.

Now that the entire territory of Finland has been liberated by the Soviet Red Army, the Communist Party of Finland, which had been defeated in the civil war, has returned to Finland as the ruling party.

But in any case, this is not a reason to annex Finland.
