The grand parade "opened Lin Jun's eyes," and the Soviet sailors also left a deep impression on him -- they were well-trained and disciplined, and the most interesting thing was that there were several technical veteran sergeants on the "Marat" who had participated in the "bombardment of the Winter Palace" on the cruiser "Aurora" in those years. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

As soon as the parade on May 15 ended, Lin Jun bid farewell to the "Marat" and rushed back to London non-stop. The attachés knew that the chief was very keen to stay on the Marat for a few more days, but he had to return to Moscow as fast as he could, where a "storm" was waiting for him.

Early in the morning of the 16th, bidding farewell to Igbos and Kirlov, Lin Jun and his entourage boarded the plane back to Moscow.

On the return trip, without much stopover, the plane arrived at Moscow's central airport on the evening of the 19th. Without making any stops, Lin Jun rushed directly to the Kremlin: now he knew that on May 11 Tukhachevsky had been relieved of his post as deputy People's Commissar of Defense and demoted to the post of commander of the Volga Military District. Tukhachevsky saw this decision as an insult to himself, and he wrote to Stalin demanding complete discharge and demobilization, but Stalin did not pay any attention to the letter.

"What to do? What to do?! This question has been bothering Lin Jun for many days, "Push the boat down the river or protect him?!" It's hard! Tukhachevsky can't die, but now Stalin wants him to die, and if he doesn't handle it well, he will put himself in it if he is not careful! What to do?! ”

Lin Jun's spirit is not at all as "high" as when he was in the UK, he has been insomnia for several days, and the people around him can see that the chief has a very serious concern, but Lin Jun doesn't dare to ask if he doesn't say it.

Lin Jun can only "bear" this matter by himself, and what is even more "fatal" is that when he was at the airport, he had already learned that the "butcher" had resumed his daily work, which means that the two are likely to "go toe-for-tat" when dealing with this problem!

The fierce ideological struggle had been accompanied by Lin Jun's arrival at the door of Stalin's office, and after adjusting his mentality, Lin Jun walked into the office with his attaché. Stalin was going to receive everyone.

"Comrade Stalin, Andrey reports to you."

"Good work this time, my Andre. I already know a little about the situation in England, comrades, and you have done a very good job of strengthening the momentum of the Soviets! ”

It can be seen that Stalin was very satisfied with the results of this visit.

Lin Jun briefed Stalin on the course of the visit, and of course talked about the "conflict" with the Japanese delegation and the contacts with the Chinese delegation.

"Andrei, you are still too impulsive sometimes, but this time with the Japanese, although you did something extreme, it should be said that on the whole it is still correct. If you had chosen to back down at that time, the face of the Soviets would not have been overcome. Of course, if Comrade Molotov had been replaced, there would have been a more suitable way to solve the situation at that time, and you can ask him for advice on this point when you have time. ”

"Yes, Comrade Stalin, I will definitely ask Comrade Molotov for advice and study."

Speaking of contacts with the Chinese delegation, Stalin's expression was slightly serious: "I was very angry at the fact that they were dismissive of our assistance, but from what you have been told is nothing more than the mistake of a superficial commander-in-chief." When the current problem is solved, you will be held accountable for this matter.

Lin Jun knew what the current problem was, and this was exactly what gave him a headache.

Stalin invited Lin Jun and all the members of the delegation to dinner in the Kremlin. After the meal, he summoned Alexander and Lin Jun for a secret meeting, and asked the other visitors to return first.

Before the meeting, Lin Jun saw an opportunity to ask Alexander, "Did I get what I asked you to prepare?" ”

"Don't worry, it's all here."

What did Lin Jun ask Alexander to get? Before his visit to England, he asked Alexander to use his "network" to buy some goods from Germany, and the time required was very urgent. Fortunately, although there are many kinds of things that are needed, they are still relatively easy to obtain. And "this thing" is not a simple thing, there are even "people".

、、、、、、

In front of Lin Jun was a thick stack of documents, all of which had the words "Top Secret" marked by the Ministry of Internal Affairs on the covers, and all the contents recorded in them were evidence of "treason" and "conspiracy to kill Stalin" by Tukhachevsky and seven senior military commanders under him.

It took Lin Jun two hours to read the materials in general: there were secret letters between Tukhachevsky and the Germans, receipts for receiving "bribes" from the German intelligence service, and many people's confessions that "Tukhachevsky conspired with Germany to commit treason". The connection between all the materials is so complex that it should be said that there are no flaws, and the first image that can be produced by those who see it is: Tukhachevsky is going to commit treason!

And who are the main members of the "cabal"? The names in it made Lin Jun look a little shocking: Tuchevsky, Jonah Emanuyilovich Yakir (1st Army Group Commander, Commander of the Kiev Military District and Member of the Military Committee of the People's Commissariat of Defense of the USSR), Ronim Petrovich Ubolevich (1st Army Group Commander of the Belarusian Military District and Member of the Military Committee of the People's Commissariat of Defense of the USSR), August Ivanovich Kolk (2nd Army Group Commander of the Frunze Military Academy), Army commanders Vitaly Markovich Primakov, Vitoft Kazimirovich Putna, Robert Petrovich Edelman and Boris Mironovich Feldman.

"This is definitely a simple divisive plan, but it can make the Soviet Union destroy the Great Wall!"

After reading the materials, Lin Jun knew it, but there was not much time left for him: because except for Marshal Tuchevsky, who had not yet been arrested, the other seven people had not been arrested and were not arrested in the special prison of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the butcher and his subordinates were "busy" there. Alexander had just told him that Yenov and his men were intensifying interrogation, and corporal torture had been used.

"Comrade Stalin, may I give my opinion?" Lin Jun has already made a decision.

"You said, I once said that this is an opportunity to train you, and it was meant to be handed over to you."

"Then I'm bold enough to say it. Comrade Stalin, I would like to say three main things. First, from all the material here, the evidence of the conspiracy of the rebel groups against you and their collusion with Germany is very strong, and all we need is to prove that there is no other incriminating evidence against them that we do not know. But to be honest, I have a lot of doubts and concerns about the source of the evidence, and, I can tell you that part of the reason why my concerns are important is because of the interference from personal feelings. ”

Lin Jun said a little risky, but first said that the concern about the evidence is the access of personal emotional factors, rather than completely saying some "noble" reasons. Because Lin Jun has already thought of a countermeasure: Yenov, either you die or I die!

Only by sacrificing the "butcher" can those eight people have a chance of survival.

Stalin was also somewhat surprised, because Andrei's "theory of private feelings" was really a bit unexpected.

"You say, it's okay if it's wrong." Hearing that Andrei was able to analyze it in terms of "personal feelings" in this situation, Stalin was interested, "Andrei's thinking always exceeded my expectations at critical moments. ”。

"Comrade Stalin, almost all the letters here are photographic material, and they were obtained in the event of a fire in the building of the German intelligence services. It is possible that the fire in the building and the leakage of these top-secret German materials were coincidences, but the coincidence is doubtful, but this step was deliberately simplified in the preliminary investigation. Also, I found that we had so much material at once that we could shoot all the suspects without further sorting and investigation. That's when I started to have doubts. ”

When Stalin heard this, he frowned slightly, "You go on." ”

"There are also a few original letters from Tuchevsky and the German generals, although I can't read German (Tuchevsky is not only his native Russian, but also French and German), and I don't know the exact contents, but I still have doubts about their authenticity."

"These have been tested by our handwriting experts and confirmed to be his own originals." Stalin said, and he seems to be somewhat dissatisfied with this suspicion of Andrei.

"Comrade Stalin, we have handwriting specialists, and our enemies will have too. So I think there is a possibility that these letters could be forged. As far as I know, in the 20s, Germany had access to Tuchevsky's handwriting materials, and we had a cooperative relationship with the Germans at that time. Before I went to England, I estimated that there might be a need to verify the authenticity of signatures and letters, so I asked Alexander to buy all their brands and varieties of ink in Germany, and also got all of our inks. Because I believe that the ability of human beings to discriminate has their own interference with competent factors, and the analysis of chemical composition is completely objective. Lin Jun was betting on the first one: Wilhelm Franz Canaris, the "expert" of the German Gestapo and head of the German Military Intelligence Bureau, did not think of this.

Stalin understood what Lin Jun meant: even if he wrote a letter, he must use his own ink, and he will never use German.

"So, Comrade Stalin, for all handwriting identification, we must ask chemical experts to help us at the same time as handwriting experts. But I guess that the chemical industry may not be able to fully analyze the small differences in the composition of all inks, so I have prepared a third way of identification: all varieties of ink will have subtle differences in color after writing, and I have asked Alexander to secretly "gather" the representatives of the mechanics of all our ink manufacturers, and what is needed is to let them unknowingly find all the inks we find in the handwriting left after writing the kind of products of their respective factories. At the same time, we had to have our handwriting experts imitate the letters and signatures with all our inks and Germans, and then compare the colors of each ink. For the difference in ink color, the factory's professional technicians have the ability to distinguish more than the handwriting expert. ”

Lin Jun's words were very complicated, but Stalin could understand them: if the ink was not Soviet, then the letters were most likely forged.

"Yes, Andrey, you have become more comprehensive now."

"Actually, it was an incident that happened before that made me think that I would have this idea, Comrade Stalin: in '35 Tukhachevsky published an important article, "The Military Plan of Germany at the Present", in which he stressed the threat of German invasion and pointed out Hitler's imperialist ambitions. At that time, this article was published in full in various newspapers such as the Red Star, and in 1936 we conducted large-scale military exercises on his suggestion to formulate an active plan for the attack on the Soviet Union. So I had a suspicion before the trip: Hitler and his men would also see this article, and he might have had the consciousness that Tukhachevsky's presence was not good for him to attack our Soviet Union! Perhaps, of course, only maybe, that they would use the intelligence services to falsify false information that Tukhachevsky and other Red Army generals acted as spies of the German General Staff. But judging from the current materials, it is possible that Tukhachevsky is a "traitor", but I still have to suspect something suspicious in it. Because these materials are so easy for us to get, they are like a relay from station to station, and there is no mistake. ”

Seeing that Stalin's face began to look a little unsightly, Lin Jun stopped, and Alexander on the side looked "unfazed", in fact, he was already nervous to death: "Andrey, your brother's net worth and life are in your hands!" ”

Stalin was also thinking in his heart: "Andrei will definitely not belong to Tukhachevsky's party, and when Andrei was appointed as military commissar last time, Tukhachevsky also came out to make trouble, so it is reasonable that Andrei and he have a "hatred" in personal feelings. And judging by all the circumstances, Andrei never had much contact with Tukhachevsky, they were definitely not in the same party. ”

Stalin always had a "view" of Tukhachevsky, because he always believed that Tukhachevsky was promoted by Leon Trotsky and had a "Trotsky" (this "Trotskyist" is a very complicated term, I will not say more here, one point is that it fought to the death against the Stalinists after Lenin's death, and many opponents of Stalin were later labeled "Trotskyists").

After obtaining these materials on Tukhachevsky's "crimes", Stalin thought about how to get rid of these "traitors", without thinking too much about a few "possibilities and maybes", and Yenov over there also "faithfully" followed Stalin's idea: just let the handwriting experts identify them and arrest them.

"Maybe, maybe!?" Stalin was also thinking, "Hitler is a ghost?" Is this possible?! ”

"You go on."

"Yes, Comrade Stalin. If I were Hitler and I had these people as spies, it would be absolutely a covert attempt to protect their identities by doing everything possible, and if they were spies, it would have been unimaginable that they would have played a role in Germany's attack on us. In short, the process of getting these materials is too smooth. Comrade Stalin, I have heard an ancient Chinese story in Spain, can I tell me here? ”

Stalin did not expect that Lin Jun still had an "interest" in storytelling.

"You say."

"More than 1,000 years ago, there was a great war in ancient China during a period called the Three Kingdoms. Cao Cao, a powerful monarch who ruled northern China at the time, personally led an army of 800,000 people south of the Yangtze River, intending to wipe out a country in the south called Soochow in one fell swoop. Zhou Yu, the general of Eastern Wu, was ordered to meet Cao's army, but unfortunately his men and horses were less than one-tenth of Cao Cao's. This hard fight can't be done, you can only outwit. That Zhou Yu thought about it again and again, and thought of attacking with fire. But if you want to burn Cao Cao to the ground, you must first "offer" a serial plan, and let Cao Cao order the large and small warships on his side to be put together. Although Cao Cao's troops are numerous, they are all "landlubbers" in the north, so it is not a matter of concern, but Zhou Yu is only afraid that he will be recognized by Cai Mao and Zhang Yun, two generals who are familiar with water warfare, who have recently defected to Cao Cao. So, that Zhou Yu directed a comedy: Zhou Yu asked an "old classmate" named Jiang Gan, who came from Cao Cao's side as a "lobbyist messenger" to ask him to surrender, to steal the information of Cai Mao and Zhang Yun's "defection to the enemy and treason" from himself, and that Jiang Gan was like a treasure and dedicated the information to Cao Cao, thinking that he had made a great contribution, but he happened to fall into the trap set by Zhou Yu. That Cao Cao got the forged secret letter, and sure enough, he couldn't distinguish between the true and the false, and killed Cai and Zhang, causing his troops to be almost wiped out in the great battle at that time. ”

Lin Jun made a "cameo" as a storyteller, Stalin had never heard such an "interesting" story, and he clearly heard Andrei say that he would have the possibility of becoming a "", but he was not angry.

"Play scheming, you won't be able to learn China's "36 Strategies" in another 800 years! Lin Jun thought.

"Comrade Stalin, I just suspect that the person who received this information would be the same as Chiang Gan. I know that Yenov is "credit" to the acquisition of information, but his way of doing things is sometimes not flattering: if he doubts anything, he must condemn the object of suspicion anyway. The premise of his investigation is that you are guilty, and he does not think about whether there is any other possibility. Comrade Stalin, I would like to say boldly: up to this point, none of the subjects of suspense investigated by Yenov has been innocent in the end - his methods of investigation are really problematic. Moreover, according to Comrade Gu Alexander, this information was all handled by Yenov and a lot of money was spent, so I have doubts about the source of the information. One more thing: Yenov can do whatever it takes to achieve his ends. I can conclude that all the confessors in the material must have been tortured and intimidated, and that the suspects who have now been arrested must have been tortured by Yenov and his men, because then he can get what he wants as quickly as possible. Comrade Stalin, I would venture to say that Yenov was just an arrogant "butcher", who did not have the sharp powers of observation and analysis that he should have in his present important position. ”

Only by bringing down Yenov will Lin Jun's life be better, and by pointing the "finger" at him, it will be possible to show that these evidences are forged: Lin Jun is out of the way! He loved his life and his current position, but he could not watch his comrades being framed and killed, and if he did not stop the "Tukhachevsky case" and bring down the "butcher", more than 40,000 Red Army cadres would be killed in the next few years -- as a Communist Party member who knew the truth and history, Lin Jun absolutely could not watch such a thing happen.

"Maybe point everything at Yenov and the world will be quiet!" At this time, Lin Jun's only choice: not only to save Stalin's face, but also to have a relatively perfect explanation.

"Andrey, say what you don't dare to say." Stalin's face was gloomy.

"Yenov is a completely unprincipled man, he can do whatever it takes to achieve his ends, and his desire for power is too strong. He is the same kind of person as the "executioner" Yagoda, and as far as I know, he has wantonly expanded the "rebellion" below under the guise of you, and does not take human life seriously at all. In fact, Yagoda also had his share in many crimes, but for some reason, I have not conducted a specific investigation. ”

Stalin knew what "some reason" Andrei was talking about: it was he who did not dare to investigate.

"Andrey, Alexander, you are now going with me to the special prison. I'd like to see how Yenov got the case! ”

Lin Jun exhaled deeply in his heart: Stalin began to suspect Yenov.

As long as Stalin was suspicious of this 'butcher', all the steps that Lin Jun had prepared could be 'fruitful'. Stalin was able to kill Yagoda as well as Yenov. As long as Stalin is convinced that there are serious problems with the sources of all the materials, and that Yenov treats the problem 'rudely and simply', then Lin Jun will have time and possibility to "clear the suspicions" of Tukhachevsky.
