In mid-January 1940, the Chinese side sent Dai Li to Germany, it turned out that Dai Li came with Jiang Jieshi's secret instructions, and the instructions brought by Dai Li were personally signed by Jiang Jieshi, and he asked Li Mo to help save two people, these two people were instructors of the Whampoa Military Academy, and Jiang Jieshi had a very good relationship, and at the same time, he also gave Jiang Jieshi a very great help during the Northern Expedition, he was Marshal Alexander of the Soviet Union? Ilyich? Yegorov and the commander of the Red Banner Far Eastern Special Army Vasily? Konstantinovich? Blyukhel.

This matter has to start from the beginning, the first socialist country of mankind founded by Lenin is like a new star piercing the sky and drawing the trajectory of the ideal society of mankind. But the Soviet Union at that time, surrounded by the hostility and hatred of the capitalist world, was like an isolated island in the ocean. After the end of the war, the Soviet Union suffered for a long time from blockade, isolation and refusal to recognize the international community dominated by the capitalist countries. It has never stopped facing the threat of foreign invasion, subversion, and destruction. The long-term priority for this nascent nation is survival.

Because it is a country with a backward industrial base, the impulse to rush for success has caused it to run counter to the objective law of social and economic development and mistakenly choose a development path that gives priority to the development of heavy industry, especially the military industry. The livelihood and welfare of people, one of the most fundamental advantages and characteristics of the socialist system, which is openly proclaimed, are forced to be sacrificed.

This country, which is constantly facing the threat of foreign aggression and subversion, has maintained a wartime dictatorship system for a long time, and has been cohesive in an environment of internal and external pressure. The Great Purge took place in such a difficult and treacherous living environment that is difficult for future generations to imagine.

Another important reason for the Great Purge was the problems that arose in the course of the development and practice of Soviet society. In order to maintain the "hall of words" and create "personal superstitions" about himself, Stalin extremely erroneously elevated all kinds of different opinions within the Party and at home to hostile contradictions that threatened the Soviet power, and waged a brutal struggle and ruthless attack.

The leader of any political party who regards normal intra-party opinions and controversies as hostile and destroys them by treating the enemy will eventually cause irreparable harm and unforgivable crimes to the country, to the nation, and to the party itself.

It seems that it all started in Kirov. His assassination. There is no convincing truth so far, but it was the immediate trigger for the Great Purge. The purge of 1937 and 1938, with the current credible conservative figure, was that no less than 1.57 million people were sentenced. Some 690,000 people were executed. Some 700,000 people are being held in labour camps. The number of deaths in prisons and labor camps is unknown. (Disclosed archival information shows that in 1940, the Gulag kept information on a total of 8 million people.) By 1953, there were no less than 10 million people. This means that about 10 million people were sent to the Gulag Archipelago during the entire Stalin era, and this is just the information of a prison. ）

On June 11, 1937, Pravda said that Marshal Tukhachevsky and eight other generals were arrested for treason. On June 12, it was reported that Tukhachevsky and eight others had been shot.

Marshal Tukhachevsky was recognized as the most talented general of the Soviet Red Army and the true soul of the Red Army. He and some other generals put forward the theory of large-depth operations and large-scale mechanized operations far ahead of their Western counterparts. All of them were shot.

The truth of Tukhachevsky's treason case was revealed very early, but there is no definite answer today as to whether the materials of the Tukhachevsky conspiracy concocted by Heinrich, the leader of the German Security Service in 1936, were the anti-plot used by the Germans on their own initiative, or whether someone deliberately revealed the discord between the Soviet generals and gave them a chance to create a counter-plot. Since Li Mo has crossed over, he will personally confirm this unjust case in history, and it is not difficult for the German army to verify this matter, because these parties are all there now.

Even if Li Mo confirmed that this was a "counter-plot" of the Germans, Li Mo would still not tell the truth, it was too useful for the Marshal Tukhachevsky incident, and if it was used well, it would have unexpected effects.

Marshal Tukhachevsky had already been shot by Stalin, and now two more Soviet marshals have been arrested - Yegorov, and the commander of the Red Banner Far Eastern Special Army, Blyukher.

The highly decorated Red Marshal Yegorov was an outstanding commander who had experienced a hundred battles and performed many miraculous feats, a heroic revolutionary soldier, and a defender of Moscow. In the autumn of 1919, when Denikin's troops advanced on Tula, the gateway to Moscow, Yegorov was appointed commander of the Southern Front and led the campaign to crush Denikin, thereby saving the young Soviet Republic.

In 1920, at the most difficult stage of the war, he was an indefatigable assistant to Stalin's side and the first chief of the General Staff of the Red Army. He was a man of great integrity and decency. From the end of the civil war until 1937, Yegorov successively held important military leadership positions such as commander of the Kiev and Petrograd Military Districts, chief of the General Staff of the Red Army, first deputy People's Commissar of Defense, and in 1934 he was elected a member of the Central Committee of the CPSU. During his tenure, he made an important contribution to the reorganization and refitting of the Red Army, the formation of powerful armored forces. He dedicated his life to the army, to the people, to the security of the Soviet Fatherland.

Later generations believed that with his outstanding talent and commanding art, he was enough to rank among such outstanding commanders as Frunze, Tukhachevsky, and even Zhukov. In the mid-20s, he served as a military attache at the Russian embassy in China. From the time of the civil war, he admired Stalin, and with Stalin he referred to him as "you" (in Russian custom, the word "you" in addition to the usual meaning of respect, also means a sense of distance, and sometimes it can be hostile, so close people only address each other as "you").

Therefore, when the Great Purge was launched in the army in the mid-30s, it could not have been imagined that the spearhead of the purge would be directed at Yegorov. However, in early 1938, when Yegorov disappeared forever after being abruptly removed from his important post, the unexpected happened.

After Tukhachevsky's hasty execution, the Great Purge did not stop, and more and more people became victims. It was an era of petty reports and anonymous letters, and any soldier who had been punished, any subordinate who was disgruntled with his superiors, could take revenge on officers and superiors he did not like and falsely accuse them.

The internal affairs organs, on the other hand, have implemented the absurd procedure of "arresting first, then examining the case." Under the severe torture and inducement of confessions by the rebels, the people who were falsely accused had no choice but to "bite" people indiscriminately, and as a result, there were more and more reactionary officers of the coup cabal, and the more they were killed. Some of the testimonies involved Yegorov, and he was doomed.
