Chapter 897: If the foundation is not strong, the earth will shake (second update)
"What now? Comrade Kuznetsov, what should we do now? ”
General Vlasov did not want to investigate what happened during the siege, what happened at that time had nothing to do with him, and no matter how big the basket was stabbed, he would not be arrested and sent to labor reform. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info he only cares about the present now...... The Fourth Battle of Leningrad began actively, and as the commander of the Leningrad Front, he now has great responsibility!
"Now...... The priority now is to evacuate! Kuznetsov's brows tightened more and more, "There are a lot of people who need to be evacuated, and the evacuation passage is not smooth, so there must be a sequence, otherwise there will be a big mess." ”
"Big mess?" Vlasov was somewhat puzzled.
"That's right!" "Because now not everyone wants to leave Leningrad...... Because a considerable number of people know that as long as they leave, they are never qualified to come back! ”
Many people's Leningrad hukou will become Siberian if they don't do it well...... This is indeed a big problem!
Who goes first? Who's going to go? Who doesn't go? It's all a dilemma!
Although the siege of Leningrad was temporarily lifted, the overall military situation was still very serious, and the Red Army was now not victorious but defeated! Leningrad was relieved only because the main target of the German attack was in Ukraine. When the situation in Ukraine is settled, there will inevitably be a large army going north to attack Leningrad again.
So Leningrad is still a dangerous city!
Since it is a dangerous city, of course, some people want to leave, but not everyone wants to leave...... Most of the open-minded revolutionary cadres want to leave, and even if they don't, they have to find ways to send their families away.
And the people who don't want to leave...... I'm afraid that not many of them wanted to die with the city, most of them lost faith in the Soviet Union, and they either collaborated with the enemy or became the family members of anti-GM elements. Naturally, they did not want to go to Siberia or Central Asia, but wanted to stay in Leningrad and prepare for the "new master".
In other words, here in Leningrad, most of them are unreliable if they want to stay! And those who are reliable now want to leave.
After listening to Kuznetsov's analysis, General Vlasov felt that he was one of those who wanted to leave...... But I just can't go!
"What can I do?" Vlasov asked with some anxiety, "Comrade Kuznetsov, what do you say we should do?" How to evacuate the population of Leningrad? ”
"What else can I do?" Kuznetsov sighed softly, "Leningrad City has already issued evacuation orders to the following institutions, schools, factories, hospitals, and other units, and at the same time assigned priority evacuation indicators. The specific list of retreats will be decided by the party of each unit...... On the issue of the evacuation of personnel, we should believe in the comrades of the grassroots party, because they are our base in Leningrad, without whom the work of the Leningrad city would not have been possible. ”
Now the city of Leningrad seems to have fallen into a paradox, on the one hand, it must rely on the grassroots party w...... They are the foundation, and if the foundation is not strong, the earth will shake the mountains! On the other hand, the position of the grassroots party on the question of evacuation would weaken the base of the Bolshevik party in Leningrad, because the grassroots party would certainly give priority to the evacuation of more reliable comrades.
In fact, it was not only the grassroots party in Leningrad that did this, but even the order issued by the Supreme High Command to the Leningrad Front also demanded that priority be given to the evacuation of the families of the Red Navy, the Red Air Force, Leningrad arsenals, shipyards, aircraft factories, military design institutes, and universities specializing in military industry.
Of course, the evacuated arsenals, shipyards, aircraft factories, design institutes and universities of military-related majors also include corresponding family indicators. And these people, who will be evacuated first, are also more pro-Bolshevik Party in Leningrad. And among those who were evicted during the siege, at least none of their immediate family members.
That is, when the task of priority evacuation was completed, the basis of the Bolshevik Party in Leningrad became even less shaky.
But knowing this, General Vlasov and Secretary Kuznetsov had no choice but to pinch their noses to weaken the party's foundation in Leningrad.
Because both of them know that there are not many comrades at the grassroots level who are really Bolsheviks who are willing to sacrifice everything they have for the cause of the party...... If the people above really want to force them to do this, they are afraid that the people's hearts will be more scattered and the team will be more difficult to lead.
Therefore, the comrades who supported the Bolshevik Party most in Leningrad must leave more than half of them at once! And for the time being, you can stay...... Most of them are family members of anti-G activists, and 300,000 of them are armed with guns!
And the families of these gun-wielding anti-gimbalists are the biggest headache for General Vlasov. It would certainly be the best way to transfer these people out of Leningrad and then break them up and integrate them into the front-line units.
But now the war is tight, and the Red Army is preparing for the Fourth Battle of Leningrad. Therefore, the Central Front and the Kalinin Front (they were the main forces of the Fourth Leningrad Campaign) were the key targets of replenishment, not only to replenish the troops already under these two fronts, but also to bring in a large number of new troops that were newly created or driven from the Far East.
As for the Leningrad Front, whose combat tasks were not too difficult (just to defend the city), it was not the point of supplementation.
Even if Stalin had given instructions, the Red Army High Command suddenly had no place to mobilize 300,000 fresh troops to replace the 300,000 gun-wielding anti-GM families in Leningrad...... At least until the end of the Fourth Battle of Leningrad is impossible.
However, at the repeated request of General Vlasov, the Supreme Command of the Red Army agreed to send some fresh troops from Siberia to the Leningrad Front, so that the Leningrad Front could be used to mix with the militia (anti-GM soldiers) in Leningrad to form dozens of more reliable infantry divisions as the main force to defend the city.
On the night when the second secretary of the Leningrad city W, Kuznetsov, took a "night flight" to Moscow to meet Stalin, the Red Army captain Bronislaw came from Siberia. Kaminsky was walking on the road to Leningrad with an infantry battalion.
This Captain Kaminsky and his superior, Konstantin. Major Voscoponico were both elderly uncles, one 44 and the other 45. Both were older than the commander of the Leningrad Front, General Vlasov (Vlasov was 43 years old), and their "revolutionary seniority" was also older than that of General Vlasov, both of whom joined the Red Army in 1918 (Vlasov was the Red Army in 1919).
The two "old comrades" who participated in the revolution in 1918 are now a major and the other a captain. There's a reason for being so unlucky...... Before the outbreak of the Great Patriotic War, both of them were traitors to the revolution, carrying out soul-touching labor reforms in distant Siberia!
It turned out that in the Great Purge, they all went wrong, one became a Polish spy (Kaminsky was half Polish), and the other became a Petliura element (Voskoponico had a little Ukrainian ancestry). In 1935, they were all given a ten-year labor reform of their own, and they went from being engineers who were originally revolutionary cadres to the lowest level of Soviet society as anti-GM sinners overnight.
And after 7 years of suffering and reform, when both of them fully realized their sins and no longer expected to be forgiven by the people. However, the leading comrades of the labor camp approached these two "old revolutionaries" and demanded that they take the lead in signing up for the Red Army to defend the motherland -- the anti-GM could actually join the Red Army!
In addition, the leaders of the labor camp assured them that as long as they took the lead, they would have the opportunity to restore their reputation and become a glorious revolutionary cadre again!
Although neither of them dared to believe that there was such a good thing in the world, they both took the lead in asking to serve the country in the army with a speculative mentality, and in the end, their reputations were really restored, and of course, there was also party membership and the corresponding cadre level.
However, their reputations, party votes, and ranks can be restored, but they cannot return to their original jobs, because the party and the people need them to lead the troops -- to lead the Red Army soldiers who have gone directly from the labor camps to the barracks!
Anyone with a little social experience knows that it is very difficult to change bad people for the good through labor reform, but it is very easy to reform good people for the bad. And in the reform camps of the Soviet Union, there was another characteristic, that is, there were few criminal offenders and more political offenders...... Now it's not a matter of the bad guys being educated, it's the bad guys who understand politics!
Moreover, the bad guys not only understand politics, but there are also many bad guys who, like Kaminsky and Voskoponiko, have participated in revolutionary wars, served as revolutionary cadres, and some have even gone abroad to support the world revolution, and are real revolutionary experts!
This bad guy understands the revolution, so isn't it a big deal? How dare the Supreme Command of the Red Army let the officers and political workers who had not been out of the school for a long time take care of them? Don't let people take their lives away from them and don't know what's going on?
Fortunately, there were also people in the Supreme Command of the Red Army who understood it, so they came up with a method of "fighting poison with poison", selecting some people with military experience from among the prisoners who understood the revolution to restore their reputations, and let them act as officers to control the soldiers below, and at the same time select some "blue hats" (referring to cadres in the internal affairs system) from the labor camp system to serve as political workers.
However, this kind of troops (usually battalions and companies) that came out of the labor camps were not very popular, because they were too poorly disciplined and too old to command, and no one wanted them when they had a choice.
So these "reform-through-labor soldiers" were sent in large numbers to Leningrad, a dangerous place where fierce fighting would probably not break out (this was the judgment of the Red Army High Command) - because of the high probability of being besieged again, and therefore reluctant to enter the city.
