Chapter 571: Revisiting the Kremlin
The Kremlin is a complex of churches. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Entering the palace gate, you will find the central church square paved with red stone.
The square is home to three gold-domed cathedrals, most prominently the 15th-century Grand Kremlin, a palace built entirely in Russian tradition, also known as the Prismatic Palace, whose second-floor façade is made of prismatic white stone, hence the name, which was once the place where royal weddings were held and the Tsar received foreign envoys.
The tallest building is the bell tower of Ivan the Great with a white gold roof.
Built in 1505-1508, it is 81 meters high and contains more than 50 bronze bells.
Outside the bell tower, there is one of the largest bells, 6 meters high, 6.6 meters in diameter, weighing more than 200 tons, carved with reliefs, portraits and inscriptions on the surface, the sound is transmitted for 50 kilometers, and it is the "bell king" of the world.
It was built in the 18th century by more than 200 Russian craftsmen over a period of two years.
It is a monument to the Russian casting process, and it is said that in order to get the best timbre, several kilograms of gold and silver were added in addition to copper and tin.
Accompanied by the bell king is a 5.34 meters long, caliber 0.89 meters, 40 tons of "cannon king", this ancient bronze cannon from 1540 to 1586 to complete, in the middle of the change of 8 tsars, has not been used so far, the huge cannon can climb into two or three people at the same time.
Next to it, the Cathedral of the Assumption is a majestic church with 5 golden domes, where the Tsar was crowned and where the great writer Leo Tolstoy was excommunicated.
To the west there is the Church of the Annunciation, and to the south there is the Cathedral of the Angels, which is the burial place of the Moscow emperors before Peter the Great, where Ivan the Terrible is buried.
In the western corner of the Kremlin is the Palace of Arms, which is now the Weapons Museum, which houses a variety of weapons such as shields and swords from ancient Russia.
The whole palace city is triangular in plan, covers an area of 275,000 square meters, and is surrounded by vermilion pheasant palace walls, and there are 15 towers of different shapes and sizes on the palace wall, of which 5 of the highest towers are on the top, each with a red crystal five stars with a diameter of 6 meters.
When Wang Liang arrived at the Kremlin Palace at night, he came and went in a hurry, and Wang Liang didn't have time to watch the scenes in the palace carefully.
Today can finally make up for the regrets left by Wang Liang back then.
After making a phone call at the gate guard, Rechagov did not rush to ask the driver to drive the car to the office area, but kept walking around the Kremlin.
This is not to satisfy Wang Liang and let Wang Liang take a look at the Kremlin.
But at this very moment Comrade Stalin was holding a meeting of the Supreme Commander-in-Chief, and the secretary told Rychagov to wait and go upstairs later.
In desperation, Rychagov could only direct the driver to drive around vigorously.
This is cheap Wang Liang, I have seen all the magnificent buildings inside, but not everyone can have this kind of opportunity and this kind of treatment.
Half an hour later, Rychagov asked the driver to park the car in the office area.
After being inspected and handed over the matching gun, he was able to enter the unknown office building.
The lights in Comrade Stalin's office were always on twenty-four hours a day, but this did not mean that he was always working in the office, and even that he rarely appeared in the office.
In the official propaganda materials, we always see the mythical Comrade Stalin, and of course the mythical Comrade Kim, Comrade Lao Ka, and so on, all of them are working diligently, working most of the night, or even all night.
Every time, if the staff persuaded them, they said: put the needs of the people first, and always remember to serve the people.
Then, the staff was moved to tears, and we shouted excitedly, hooray, hooray!
Later, with the collapse of the Soviet Union, a large number of materials were declassified, and it turned out that Comrade Stalin rarely appeared in the office, and the lights in his office were only on, and he told the people that the leader was with you and worked very hard.
However, few people know where his old man went, and this is a state secret.
Therefore, when we unravel the myth of these people, we will find that they are just a group of ordinary people.
For example, Jin Moumou could use a pistol to get off the plane, and his son Jin Moumou was even more powerful, when he was born, "a double rainbow and a holy star announced his arrival", when he became an adult, he could control the weather, let it be sunny and sunny, and let him be cloudy, so a certain Xian people lived a smooth life and lived and worked in peace and contentment.
Therefore, Jin Moumou can spend 13 million euros to buy himself a yacht, build villas and holiday estates, and marry at least 6 wives.
It's just floating clouds.
It seems to be a bit too much, back to the plot.
The secretary led Rychagov and Wang Liang not to Stalin's office, but to a secret room.
The interior decoration is very basic, in the style of the twenties and thirties, but it is very clean and tidy.
"Chairman." Rychagov stood up straight and snapped a Peugeot military salute.
Wang Liang couldn't lag behind, and followed with a military salute.
Stalin's sideburns were a little gray, he looked a little older than he was back then, and his eye circles were a little dark, so it was obvious that he hadn't rested well these days.
"Well, Comrade Wang Liang is here, welcome." Stalin glanced at Wang Liang and waved his hand for him to sit down.
Rychagov knew that there was no place for himself to speak, and after Stalin smiled at him, he self-consciously exited the room.
"I regret a little that I didn't pay attention to some of your suggestions at the beginning, but I didn't expect that today reality gave me a resounding slap in the face." Stalin sighed.
"Comrade Stalin, at the beginning I was just a few speculations and inferences, and there was no basis for them, and if you really listened to them, you would have been a little hasty." Wang Liang replied very humbly.
At this time, you can't help but be humble, if you waste and make people angry, do you want to go home alive?
"Well, you're right. I asked you to come over this time to give me ideas as a special military adviser. Stalin said again.
"Okay, no problem, Comrade Stalin." Wang Liang happily agreed.
"You should have noticed it on the way here, right? Do you feel the tension in the atmosphere? Stalin asked.
Wang Liang smiled secretly in his heart, he originally wanted to attract you, but he didn't expect you to say it yourself.
"Yes, there are a lot of military police on the road, and there are many checkpoints along the way, and they are checked very carefully." Wang Liang said.
"Hey, woe isn't a single line, I lost something, I lost one yesterday morning, one document. The sentry is looking for those things, and the detectives are solving the case. Stalin said.
