Tukhachevsky, who was born in the old Russian aristocracy, later believed in the Bolsheviks, and during the Soviet Civil War, he was appreciated by Lenin for his outstanding performance, and became one of the most capable army commanders, he was considered one of the most talented senior military generals in the Red Army, and was known as the "Napoleon of the Red Army".

After the war, Tukhachevsky single-handedly presided over the modernization of the Red Army, and he put forward the strategy of great depth, and all aspects of the equipment of the Red Army were under his jurisdiction and had great power.

At the same time, in 1935, together with four high-ranking generals such as Budyonny and Voroshilov, he was one of the first to accept the title of Marshal of the Soviet Union, and it can be said that he was one of the first marshals of the Soviets.

The position is supreme, it can be said that it has reached the peak of the Red Army, and such a marshal, who defects to the Soviets, will bring a huge shock to the whole army.

Therefore, after receiving this news, Stalin did not immediately make a decision, but listened to Beria's constant narration.

In the past, the Soviet Union was working closely with Germany, after all, after the First World War, the Soviet Union and Germany were in a similar position, and because of the Bolsheviks coming to power, they were hostile and blockaded by the West.

In the past, many things were actually decided by Stalin, such as cooperating with Germany and exporting ore in exchange for an aircraft carrier.

But now, these projects, it seems, are all unwise, there can only be one reason, Tukhachevsky, who has already betrayed the Soviets and secretly defected to Germany, that's why he betrayed the interests of the Soviets!

Moreover, Tukhachevsky was completely conditional and winter.

As early as 1922, after the Soviet-German Treaty of Raballo, the Soviets and Germany began to send officers to each other for military training courses, and first-class military strategists such as Tukhachevsky were also sent to Germany at that time.

After all, although Germany was defeated, it had many years of heritage, and at that time, Tukhachevsky had a colleague at the Military Academy in Berlin, and the two had a close relationship at that time, and now, this colleague is already a German general.

Tukhachevsky has been in contact with this general in an attempt to overthrow Tukhachevsky!

The letter of contact between the two sides was finally obtained by Beria after various efforts, and now this letter is in Stalin's hands.

The evidence, there are already there, and all kinds of clues over the years are also available, but whether Tukhachevsky really betrayed the Soviets or not still needs a word from Stalin!

Tukhachevsky, really wanted to overthrow Stalin? In fact, even Beria did not believe this, Tukhachevsky has always been wary of Germany in recent years, Germany's army has been expanding in size, mobilization capacity is strong, Tukhachevsky has even faintly listed Germany as a threat.

This evidence, if it is said that it is, if it is not, it is not.

However, he knew very well that the current purge was still not in place, and there were still a large number of people in the army who were not absolutely loyal to Stalin!

This is a good opportunity, a chance to purge the army! Tukhachevsky had an affair with Germany and conspired to overthrow Soviet power, so it was necessary to extend the purge to the entire army.

Headed by Tukhachevsky, Yaquil, Ubolevich, Kolk, Edelman, Feldman, Primakov, Putna, these people can be counted among the Trotsky faction!

What is the rebellion in this rebellion? Of course, a group of people who opposed Stalin, the focus of which was the Trotskyists!

Trotsky was a revolutionary of Lenin's time, and in the Soviet Union the two men worked closely together, and even after Lenin's death, they wanted Trotsky to seize state power.

It is a pity that Stalin, who was very ambitious, was always fighting for the supreme power of the Soviets and did everything, while Trotsky, who did not understand the cruelty of the struggle, still regarded Stalin as a comrade.

Thus, before 1925, there were proposals in the Left Opposition for the armed overthrow of the Stalin clique, which Trotsky opposed. Lenin's wife, Krupskaya, even privately said that Stalin would be sent to the gallows. It's a pity that Stalin had the last laugh.

Trotsky was expelled and exiled abroad, Stalin became the leader of the Soviets, and this vigorous purge, the Great Purge, was, of course, Stalin's means of seizing power with greater certainty.

Now it's up to Stalin to make up his mind!

After smoking a pot of pipes, Stalin knocked the ashes hard in the ashtray and stood up, he had finished thinking.

"We, the Soviets, will never tolerate traitors." Stalin said: "Tukhachevsky actually betrayed the Soviets and became a lackey of the Germans, we absolutely cannot tolerate it, let's do it." ”

"Yes." Beria said, without any expression on his face, but with joy in his heart.

For a knife, there should be no thoughts, but the thoughts of Beria's knife are very rich. In essence, Beria and Stalin were all the way.

The path of power is destined to be bloody! All stumbling blocks along the way will be killed, and you will climb up by stepping on other people's shoulders! Beria recognized Stalin, because Stalin was ruthless enough!

With this event as a starting point, the army will be purged, and at the same time, a lot of positions will be vacated, which will also give Beria a lot of opportunities.

19 Koznamenka Street, Ministry of Defense building.

The face is a little fat, even if the face is tightened, you can't see too much seriousness, Marshal Tukhachevsky, it always looks so kind.

At this time, he was having a discussion with a group of people who had just returned from Spain.

"The Germans, they are completely misleading us, tanks are simply not suitable for large-scale centralized use, and tanks will always be vassals of infantry." Pavlov said.

The first few victories made Pavlov a well-known tank warfare expert in Moscow, but the subsequent defeats made him disgraced, and his tanks were lost to Spain.

"How do you explain that the Germans went from Madrid to Barcelona in a week, and we couldn't react at all, and we lost Barcelona as a result?" An officer asked.

"This is not at all the result of a high-speed assault by tanks." Pavlov said: "You don't know at all, we in Spain, the biggest enemy is not the rebels, but others!" Several factions are fighting each other, such as fighting Barcelona, the original defenders are all fighting among themselves! Hell if you don't lose a battle like this! ”

Only those who have been on the front line can know that Spain is really hopeless!

"Moreover, the Northern Army is following very closely, tanks must not be used alone, tanks can only be safer in the infantry, I propose, we should strengthen the training of infantry and tank coordination." Pavlov said.
