On July 11, 1944, in the GCIST building in Chelyabinsk, meetings related to the future and fate of the GCIST movement in the USSR and internationally continued. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Yesterday Stalin suddenly arrived in Chelyabinsk, first announced the Japanese invasion that no one (other members of the Political Bureau) knew about, and then, taking advantage of everyone's frightening, announced the "establishment of a Russian anti-Japanese national united front" and held high the banner of defending the interests of the Russian nation. He also whitewashed the incident of ceding land to Belarus and seeking peace as unity and joint resistance against Japan.

A few simple moves, which at once suppressed all the other members of the Political Bureau, together with the power of the Cheka organization (the NKVD is now also changed to the Cheka, which is under the direct control of Beria) in Chelyabinsk, made everyone submit to Stalin, and at the same time "forget" under whose wise leadership the great Soviet Union mixed up as it is now. It also seems to have "ignored" that the so-called anti-Japanese national united front was realized only when Soviet Russia ceded large tracts of land to White Russia.

The Central Committee of the Bolshevik Party of the USSR soon rallied again around Comrade Stalin. However, the crisis facing the Soviet Union and the Bolshevik Party was far from over.

Now the crisis of the Bolshevik Party is mainly on two sides, one is the war with Japan! The war began in full swing in the early hours of July 10, and in the first 24 hours the powerful Japanese Kwantung Army made considerable progress in the three main assault directions (Vladivostok, Chita, and Mongolia). If the Soviet Far East were to fall, the legitimacy of the Bolshevik Party would once again be tested.

The second aspect is that if the reform is carried out, it is the practice of Russia to reform if the war is lost. Now the defeat of the Bolshevik Party has made a record, losing all the territory in the western part of the Urals! Without radical reforms, even if the Soviet Red Army could win the battle in the Far East, the Bolshevik Party's rule east of the Ural Mountains would be difficult to maintain.

Moreover, the Soviet Union has now lost its main grain-producing areas and industrial centers, and not only can it not continue to maintain its pre-war social welfare and people's living standards, but it is also facing great difficulties in providing basic food and clothing.

The rule of the Bolshevik Party could not be sustained without the economic difficulties being resolved.

Therefore, the urgency of carrying out reforms in the Soviet Union - primarily economic - was no less than resisting the Japanese invaders.

"Comrades, now we must admit the fact that the cause of GCISM has encountered unprecedented difficulties and setbacks! Our cause is on the verge of failure, and if we fail to unite and resist the foreign enemy with the utmost determination, and at the same time carry out a thorough and major reform that will allow our cause to survive and develop in the most difficult environment, then we will become sinners of the cause of GCISM! ”

In the conference room, Comrade Stalin spoke his thoughts slowly, and his expression was not unusual, and he looked confident. At a time when the whole party was in fear, Stalin, as the leader, had to let everyone know that he had a way.

"Comrade General Secretary, our current difficulties are indeed unprecedented, and we must reform them. But...... How should we change this? Molotov asked with a puzzled expression, and the other members and alternate members of the Political Bureau who attended the meeting were also at a loss, as if apart from Stalin, the leaders of the Bolshevik Party had nothing to do.

Stalin took a puff of his pipe and said with a smile: "Such difficulties, we also encountered in the 20s." Didn't we overcome it through reform? ”

"Comrade General Secretary," Khrushchev looked at his sudden realization, "are you talking about the resumption of the NEP?" ”

Stalin smiled and nodded - in fact, the NEP has now begun to be restored! Long before Stalin left Moscow, in the "Soviet zone" west of the Ural Mountains of the USSR, the reform of the equal division of land had already begun. And the rumors of the implementation of the New Economic Policy in the whole Soviet Union have been blowing for a long time.

However, the Soviet bigwigs attending today's meeting seem to have heard of this for the first time.

Stalin nodded and said, "The NEP will be the reference for our reform this time, but now we are facing greater difficulties than in the early twenties, and the pace of reform is bound to be greater."

In the case of agricultural policy, for example, it is not enough to divide the land equally among the peasants. Because we have now lost the most fertile and easy land to cultivate. Although we still have a lot of land, more than 10 million square kilometers, most of it is either in the high-dimensional cold regions or in the deserts and steppes of Central Asia. It's not a good place to set up a small family farm, it's a big farm with the advantage of scale. And we want to allow private individuals, not only Soviet citizens, but also businessmen from Europe and the Americas, to lease or acquire land in the Soviet Union to establish large farms. ”

"Comrade General Secretary," Andreyev, a member of the Political Directorate in charge of agriculture, interjected at this time, "do you mean that there is no need to allocate land east of the Ural Mountains?" ”

"No, of course not." Stalin shook his head, "The distribution of land is a must, it is necessary for us to have the continued support of the masses." To do this, we must not only allocate land to citizens of the Soviet countryside who have long lived in Siberia, Central Asia and the Far East. Land should also be allocated to all citizens who have migrated from the west, and land should also be allocated to all citizens with urban hukou.

In addition, the focus of land allocation should be on Central Asia. It will also be a key area for the resettlement of Soviet citizens who have migrated eastward, and the citizens who have followed us should be placed on rich and fertile land. ”

Hearing this, the members of the Political Z Bureau and the alternate members of the Political Z Bureau present all showed thoughtful expressions.

The reform and the revival of the NEP were expected by the big guys, but the issue that Stalin was now raising was not only economic reform, but also the party's policy in Central Asia......

But if you think about it, it's also inevitable. Because after the loss of the regions east of the Ural Mountains, the most valuable territories of the USSR were not Siberia and the Far East, but Central Asia!

Because Siberia is too cold, and the Far East is too cold and far away, it is impossible to accommodate the large population that has migrated from the western part of the Soviet Union.

So Central Asia is the only place for them! Once a large number of ethnic Russians arrive in Central Asia, the demographic structure of Central Asia will inevitably change, and there will inevitably be certain conflicts between the newly moved Russians and the local non-Russians.

After all, in Central Asia, there is a limit to what is really suitable for reclamation and habitation, and if it is all allocated to the Russians, then what about the local non-Russians?

Stalin continued: "Because the incoming Russians will change the demographic structure of the five Central Asian republics, these five republics will be abolished in due course. ”

Is this to follow the line of Great Russian chauvinism?

The members and alternate members of the Political Bureau muttered in their hearts, but no one raised any objections.

Because Central Asia is clearly the core territory of the future Soviet Union, of course, it must be firmly controlled in its hands, how can it be a union republic?

"We want to allow the citizens who have been allocated land to transfer their land," Stalin did not mention again the question of the abolition of the Central Asian republics, but returned to the land question, "and also allow them to use the land as a shareholder to form joint-stock farms." ”

"General Secretary, is the land privately owned?" Andreyev asked again.

"It's private."

Stalin's answer secretly surprised the members and alternate members of the Political Bureau present.

This is a big step in reform! It is time to restore private ownership of the means of production. Because land is a means of production, distribution to peasant households under the premise of state ownership and direct private ownership are two completely different concepts!

"It's a must, too!" Stalin swept away the members and alternates of the Political Bureau, "We must give land to our comrades who follow us, and this is the only thing we can give them at the moment."

In addition, it is also very necessary for us to absorb capital from Europe and the Americas! If we want to develop the economies of Central Asia, Siberia and the Far East and change the current difficult situation, external investment, technology and markets are indispensable. ”

It is clear that Stalin's time in Moscow was seriously considering the way out of the Soviet Union after losing the rich lands of the west.

The line of socialism in one country now seems to be wrong, let alone socialism in half a country?

If the Soviet Union wanted to survive, there was no other way but to restore private ownership to a certain extent, and to find a way to attract investment from the United States and Europe to develop the resources and land of Siberia and Central Asia.

Moreover, according to Stalin's vision, the reforms to be carried out in the Soviet Union would in fact be beneficial to the European Community - the future Soviet Union would not, and would not have the power to exclude capital and commodities from Europe.

Of course, the implementation of some privatization reforms does not mean that the large state-owned industries should be completely abandoned. But most of the large state-owned industries now moved east of the Ural Mountains are related to the military industry, which is the lifeblood of the Bolshevik Party.

But the products produced by these "lifeblood industries" were all military products, which could not meet the needs of the Soviet people at all. If the Soviet government could not produce a sufficient quantity of light industrial goods, it would have encountered the problem that had existed before the NEP in the early twenties: the peasants were unwilling to sell agricultural products to the state, without which the state would not be able to keep industry and cities running.

Therefore, in the future, the Soviet Union had to import goods from Europe, and at the same time export resource goods to Europe.

And this requires attracting investment from Europe...... Otherwise, the USSR would not have been able to survive for a long time.

"But Comrade General Secretary," said Voroshilov, frowning and looking puzzled, "now Europe is largely controlled by Germany, and our trade routes to the west are controlled by White Russia. Will they allow us to absorb European capital and trade with Europe? ”

Stalin smiled coldly: "Of course! Otherwise, we won't be able to sustain it! The Germans don't want us to be finished now, because they don't want Russia to be united. That being the case, they will let us draw the necessary resources and money from Europe. At least for the next thirty or forty years, this will be no problem. ”
