Chapter 1266 Exchange of Interests

"Those thieves, liars, robbers, hateful *** thieves! I'm going to hang them all on the gallows!" In the building of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in Moscow, Yezhov had a hideous face, waved his fists and roared angrily. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

With the takeover of the Gugra concentration camp in the Rykma River valley by the Far Eastern Military District, the 14 sub-bureaus under the Suppression Committee were forcibly disbanded, and about 5,000 armed forces subordinate to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the "Cheka" were purged. Subsequently, a large-scale purge of the area east of Lake Baikal began, in which all officials of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Anti-Counterterrorism Committee were arrested and imprisoned, and more than 50,000 political workers and armed personnel of the Ministry of Internal Affairs were escorted to the Far East to await further examination and arrangement, which was the greatest humiliation suffered by the Ministry of Internal Affairs since its establishment.

Two years ago, when Yezhov was still an officer of the Central Organization Department, he wrote an article entitled "Lessons from the Activities of Saboteurs, Assassins, and Trotsky Agents of ***-Germany-Trotsky", in which he pointed out that the opposition would inevitably eventually lead to violence and terrorism, and this became an important theoretical basis for the suppression of the rebellion. In September last year, Yezhov succeeded Yagoda as NKVD and alternate member of the Communist Party of the United States (CPB) Bureau, and concurrently served as chairman of the Central Supervision Commission.

The appointment of Yezhov actually caused a stir in the Central Bureau, but because of Stalin's strong support, the committee members were either silent or flattered. Yezhov's first assignment from Stalin was to investigate and lead the trial of his old boss, Yagoda, who was sentenced to death for treason. Before executing Yagoda, Yezhov stripped him naked and ordered the guards to beat him severely.

Former Minister of Internal Affairs Yagoda was only the first of countless people who died at Yezhov's hands, and from the end of last year to the present, the purges have entered **, and of the 139 official and alternate members elected at the 17th Party Congress, 98 have been arrested and executed, and nearly 40,000 of the 85,000 officers of the Soviet Red Army have been removed from their posts and imprisoned, exiled to the Gulag in Siberia or directly executed.

Of course, there were also countless Soviet civilians who were accused (often without evidence) of being "counter-revolutionaries" or "saboteurs" by the local "Cheka troika" (i.e., a special jury consisting of judges, military representatives, and Cheka personnel, which could be directly sentenced to death) to meet Yezhov's quota of exile and execution. Yezhov also directed a complete purge within the security services, including the NKVD and the General Directorate of Military Intelligence, and the removal and execution of many cadres appointed by his predecessors and even his own newly appointed cadres. In the process of purging the rebellion, Yezhov always adhered to the principle of "preferring to kill 1,000 by mistake rather than sparing one", but in a short period of time, he eliminated half of the 25,000 people in the national security organs. After Yezhov took over the NKVD, at least 1.9 million people were arrested and at least 700,000 were executed on charges of "treason" by July this year. The number of prisoners serving sentences in the Gulag soared to 1.1 million, and a large number of prisoners died on the way to the Gulag and the penal colony.

In February and March of this year, Yezhov organized a "special project" against Bukharin and Rykov, and in May he personally drafted an order on the former kulaks and anti-Soviets, and launched a large-scale battle for these people who had been relocated to the periphery; In July, Yezhov personally drafted and presided over the resolution to remove the Yellow East from the border areas, which is why Zhang Jie found so many Chinese laborers in concentration camps when he entered the Soviet Far East. In fact, the purge of ethnic Chinese by the Soviets in China was only a symptom of the expansion of the purge and rebellion, not against any particular ethnic group.

But after entering the second half of July, due to the sudden large-scale confrontation with the Central Committee of the Far Eastern Military District, Yezhov's good days seemed to come to an end, especially this evening when he received the news that the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Cheka had been completely liquidated in the entire Far East, Yezhov was so angry that he almost went crazy. You must know that all Yezhov's power comes from Stalin's trust, but when there is a problem at the level of the interests of the whole country, he Yezhov will definitely be pushed out as a scapegoat to appease the anger of the major military districts and the union republics, otherwise the army and the localities will be separated from the Soviet Central Committee, and Stalin's rule will be greatly shaken, and may even be overthrown.

"Chief, Comrade Stalin's secretary has just called, and Comrade Stalin wants you to go to the Kremlin." Yezhov's confidential secretary, Andrei, reported with a sad face.

Yezhov's heart sank, waved his hand to signal Andrei to go out, sat on the office chair and pondered for a while, before getting up and ordering the car to be prepared.

At this moment, Yezhov has already made up his mind, he must list a series of charges for the Far Eastern Military District, the Belga Military District, and the army stationed in Mongolia to confirm their intention to rebel a long time ago, after all, there is *** *** there, plus a special attack on the internal affairs department, it can be proved that the Far Eastern Military District has long had bad intentions, and other evidence is just icing on the cake, increasing Comrade Stalin's cognition, which can greatly clear his responsibility.

Berlin, Germany.

After receiving information from spies in the Soviet Union and Britain, Führer Hitler urgently summoned Yin Jinan, the Chinese military attache in Germany and the representative of the Anyi Group.

"General Yin, I heard that there was a large-scale armed rebellion in the Far East of the Soviet Union, and that more than 600,000 Red Armymen, including the Far Eastern Military District, had broken with Moscow, what is your country's position on this?" Hitler asked with a serious look on his face.

Due to the Sino-Japanese war, Yin Jinan had repeatedly asked to meet Hitler, hoping that the German side could persuade *** to avoid the expansion of the Sino-Japanese war, but the German government, which has close ties with China's economy, did not respond. Now that it involves the interests of the German state, Hitler can't wait to jump out, Yin Jinan is very dissatisfied with this, but his homeland is poor and weak and has encountered war, so he can't dwell on this issue too much, and immediately replied:

"Führer, now my country's position is actually not important, at present on the front line in North China, our squadron is waging a large-scale war with the Japanese army, and once achieved more than 30,000 enemy annihilation in Langfang. However, with the arrival of *** follow-up forces, a larger war is about to break out, and there is simply no extra energy to think about the Soviet Far East. However, I pondered it privately, and telegraphed with my brother General An and we agreed that the present situation was an excellent opportunity for the Empire to expand! ”

Speaking of which, Yin Jinan came to the large world map hanging on the wall of Hitler's office, picked up the baton placed at the bottom, and pointed to the Soviet Far East:

"Führer, please see, this vast area occupies one-twentieth of the total population of the Soviet Union, and divides nearly a quarter of the strength of the Soviet Red Army, and if it really breaks away from the Soviet Union, it will pose a very great threat to the Soviet Union's Western Siberia, the Urals, the Caucasus and Central Asia, and greatly draw the attention of the Soviet Union. At that time, the Soviet Union's troops on the Western Front will be greatly reduced, and the benefits for the expansion of the German Empire will be obvious.

"In addition, since the Far East of the Soviet Union is the only one that will give its republics an exemplary effect, if the empire is used, it is not necessarily that the Soviet Union will henceforth embark on the road to disintegration. The Soviet Union is a whole, and it will be very difficult to deal with, but if it is a number of small countries, it will be wonderful for the German Empire, and it can completely sweep the entire Western Front and push Moscow when the time is ripe, so as to achieve the dream that Napoleon did not realize. At that time, the Führer will stand at the peak of this era, and Germany will become the greatest country in the world in one fell swoop. ”

Hitler listened to Yin Jinan's analysis, extremely excited, in fact, since last year, Hitler has been constantly taking risks, testing the bottom line of Britain and the United States and other countries, in March of the year before last, Hitler announced to the world that Germany implements universal military service, to expand the number of German troops and conscription, this move has actually officially announced that the "Versailles Treaty" has abolished the military *** of Germany. In March last year, shortly after the 226 mutiny, Hitler ignored the opposition of the panicked generals and brazenly ordered the dispatch of troops to the Rhine demilitarized zone, and two battalions of German troops crossed the Rhine into the Rhine zone.

Now Hitler, has set his next target on Austria and the Czech Sudetenland, which have the same roots as the Germanic nation, in view of the current foreign power of Britain and France, Hitler is confident that he will win another victory in the contest with Britain and France, but after the completion of the great unification of the German nation, how to expand the Nazi power to the whole of Europe, he is still a little wavering, after all, "eastward" and "westward" have their own advantages, if you attack the Soviet Union to the east, you can reduce the hostility of Britain, France and other countries, Take full advantage of the fear of the socialist USSR in the capitalist countries, receive a lot of aid. On the contrary, if we first form an alliance with the Soviet Union and adopt a step-by-step approach, gradually encroaching on the countries of Western Europe, as long as we occupy France, we will be able to obtain a large number of resources and factories, and Germany's national strength will swell to the peak, and then it will be easier to realize the ideal by launching an attack on the Soviet Union and combining the forces of the whole of Europe. However, the great changes in the Far East of the Soviet Union have undoubtedly opened a window for Hitler, as far as the current situation is concerned, it should be a good choice to follow the illusions of Britain and France and other countries, and then attack the Soviet Union after taking Poland, especially when the Soviet Union becomes a small country, let Germany swallow it one by one, digest it and then march, and then digest, it will be a wonderful expansion. But how to implement it, how to weaken and *** the Soviet Union, Hitler still needs to further consider and improve.

Yin Jinan was silent for a moment and continued: "In the Spanish Civil War, the Führer should be able to feel the talent shown by the Soviets in the study of aircraft and tanks, so no matter what the reason, the Soviet Union must continue to be chaotic, after all, a patient with a whole body is much easier to deal with than a giant with good health and strength. Therefore, it is very necessary for Germany to support the actions of the Soviet Far Eastern Military District for peace and security, so that Germany can allocate its own resources without considering the threat from the Eastern Front when making any choice. ”

Hitler's eyes stared at the incomparably huge territory of the Soviet Union, and nodded again and again: "That's right, that's right, I want to help those brave men who fought against Stalin, and I also want to warn *** people, don't try to change the status quo in the Far East, we need to maintain a strong presence in the Far East that can contain the Soviet army." In the event of large-scale riots and disintegration of the Soviet Union, as we think, the German Empire will be able to take advantage of the situation to take Ukraine and the Caucasus, gain access to rich strategic material resources, and the rise of Germany will be unstoppable! ”

Seeing that Hitler was so stimulated by himself that he once again gave an impassioned speech expounding his great ambitions, Yin Jinan couldn't help but smile bitterly and silently began to play the role of a loyal listener.

Last year, Germany signed an alliance agreement with the world, although Yin Jinan tried his best to prevent it on behalf of the Chinese government and the military and political circles in southern Sichuan, but Hitler still insisted on going his own way in order to get the help of the world's third navy, and Yin Jinan was helpless. However, fortunately, the Germans still need all kinds of the latest science and technology in southern Sichuan, the advanced military concept of the An Jiajun, and the industrial raw materials such as tungsten and antimony, which China accounts for half of the world's output, so they still show enough goodwill to China, and the bilateral cooperation continues to deepen.

In order to compensate China, Hitler turned a blind eye to the large number of Jews who moved out. Now Nazi Germany is in the golden age of development, new technologies and new products are emerging one after another, and military and industrial development is changing with each passing day, so those talents of the Jews are not looked down upon.

Hitler was more interested in how to gain more benefits for Nazi Germany without irritating the sensitive nerves of Britain and France in the case of expansion. Frequent adventures in China and great success, greatly stimulated Hitler's **, in his opinion, Britain, the United States, France and other countries did not even dare to say a hard word about the behavior of *** people infringing on their interests, what is not a paper tiger? As long as it succeeds in grasping the mentality of Britain and France, Germany will surely become the new hegemon of Europe.

After Hitler finished venting, Yin Jinan once again raised his request: "Führer, we still hope that your country can come forward to mediate the war between China and Japan, and if the war between China and Japan continues, Germany will not be able to obtain China's strategic material resources almost without hindrance as before." At the same time, we also need German military technology very much, your country's advanced aircraft engines and tank manufacturing core technologies are among our introduction, after all, science and technology are two-way, your country's scientists in our southern Sichuan participate in a large number of military science and technology research, our scientific and technological level is clear, but unfairly, many of your country's high-tech technologies are kept secret from us, which is obviously not what an ally should do. I hope that the Führer will give careful consideration to my proposal. ”

Hitler looked at Yin Jinan with some surprise, and his trademark mustache shook twice:

"General Yin, don't you think this request is too abrupt? If you think about China's interests, I, as the head of the German Empire, have to think about our interests as well. As the loser of the last European war, we naturally have no good impression of the despicable and shameless people who will only take advantage of the scheming, they seized our Qingdao base and many islands in the Pacific Ocean, and dealt us a heavy blow, but now we have the world's third largest navy and a powerful army, which can greatly contain the power of Britain, France, the United States and other countries, for the sake of Germany, we must make a choice. As for the advanced technology of our country, it is the crystallization of imperial wisdom, and I have no reason to sell it! ”

Yin Jinan's face was grim: "Führer, please forgive me for saying that once we can't get enough technology from Germany to support us to continue fighting, then we don't mind sharing the advanced technology such as 'radar' we have mastered with Britain and France to get what we need for the long-term war of resistance." We have no choice in the face of national survival, and we ask the Führer to forgive us. ”

"No one can threaten Germany, no one can threaten me, Adolf!" Hitler shook his fist and roared loudly, looking at Yin Jinan with unusual anger, his eyes were extremely fierce, but he was carefully weighing the pros and cons in his heart. Yin Jinan did not flinch, his eyes were resolute, and his face was full of stubbornness.

The door of the office was suddenly opened from the outside, and several captains of the Führer's Guard rushed into the office and pointed their guns at Yin Jinan, but Yin Jinan was unmoved, still looking at Hitler seriously.

A smile appeared on Hitler's face, waved his hand, motioned for the guards to stand back, and said approvingly to Yin Jinan: "Yin, like me, you are a strong person who will not easily change his position, a truly mighty and unyielding warrior, and a good friend of our Germanic people." Yin, our National Socialist German Workers' Party had a lot of in-depth cooperation with General An and the southern Sichuan government led by him long before taking power in Germany, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as a friend of adversity, so let's tell me what technology you need, and I will ask someone when I go back, if it does not touch the bottom line of Germany, I don't mind sharing our fruits with our allies, after all, relatively speaking, Germany's core interests are in Europe, and the future of the German nation is also in Europe, There is no need for these small differences to affect our cooperation. ”

Yin Jinan sincerely admired Hitler's fickleness, thought for a while and said: "Führer, we would like to get the manufacturing drawings of the BF109 fighter that have been proven in the Spanish war and the production technology of the Daimlerbenzdb601 series of liquid-cooled engines of the Daimler Benz DB series. In addition, the core technology of the series of engines of Maybach Engine Co., Ltd. is also among our introductions, and in return, we will provide the core technology of the series of diesel engines we have imported from the United States to help Germany improve the research and development of tank diesel engines to meet the needs of various combat environments. Finally, we want to obtain more than a dozen special alloy manufacturing processes to improve the performance of our own weapons and equipment. ”

Hitler thought for a while, and then suddenly asked: "Yin, tell me, is the aircraft engine manufacturing technology you obtained from Juncker not enough to meet your actual needs?" Why do you want to get our production technology for liquid-cooled engines of the DaimlerbenzDB601 series? Don't you think that's a huge waste of resources? ”

Yin Jinan replied: "In fact, it is not only the Junkers engine, in fact, we have also obtained the production technology of the series of engines of the American Fox and Boeing, and we are weighing and comparing to produce the heart of the aircraft that is more suitable for China's national conditions." ”

"Well, I grant your request, despite my request, all research must be made public to our German scientists, and we must share all the results of research, just like radar!" Hitler finally relented.

"As you wish, my Führer!"

Yin Jinan smiled and stretched out his hand to Hitler.
