Chapter 279: Spies Are Not Valuable
Pure soldiers only care about national defense, but Lin Jun is no longer a pure soldier, he is barely a politician, there are many issues that need to be paid attention to, and even many aspects that he doesn't understand at all need to pay attention to. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Being together with his two strongest assistants can negotiate a lot of issues, and there is a good reason for strategic decision-making, and Alexander has a big problem for Lin Jun.
Two years in a row of war preparedness for the Soviet Union hoarded a large amount of grain in terms of materials, Lin Jun did not understand agriculture and was a complete layman, but Alexander would pay attention, because his department was always watching all aspects of the entire Soviet Union.
In the current Soviet Union, the two schools of thought are fighting fiercely in agriculture, and every time the Central Committee convenes an agricultural conference, they will quarrel with each other, and no one will let anyone. Lin Jun had also heard about that incident, but he never paid attention to it, because he didn't understand it at all.
But this time it won't work, the struggle between the two sides has risen to the height of ideology, and in Lin Jun's words, it is on the line. And the leading figures on both sides of the struggle were Trofim Denisovich Lysenko, academician of the Ukrainian Academy of Sciences and member of the All-Union Lenin Academy of Agricultural Sciences, and Nikolai Ivanovich Vavilov, director of the Leningrad Institute of Applied Botany, former chairman of the All-Union Academy of Agricultural Sciences, both heavyweights.
"Alexander, are the problems of agricultural production so serious?"
Lin Jun is not in a good mood, he is so busy preparing for the war now, and those agricultural experts are still adding chaos to the central government.
"Accusing each other of being pseudoscience and class enemies." Alexander said it lightly, for him these arguments were like sparrow quarrels, and a slap could kill him. If it weren't for the fact that the Ministry of Internal Affairs kept an eye on the grain reserves in various places, he would not have bothered to take care of that matter.
"What did you just say that the leader on one side is called Li? Sounds like a Chinese name. Lin Jun was a little curious.
"Trofim Denisovich Lysenko, Ukrainian, All-Soviet Academician of the Lenin Academy of Agricultural Sciences."
There seems to be something going on in my head, and the name is somewhat familiar. Lin Jun didn't speak anymore and pondered. Alexander and Tukhachevsky didn't bother, knowing that Lin Jun must be thinking about something important.
"Lysenko, the pioneer of pompous and deceitful!"
Lin Jun finally thought of who this person was, shouting that "everyone in the Soviet Union would have bread" as a pseudo-scientific leader, the scum of the history of world agriculture.
"What are the plans of the Ministry of Internal Affairs?" Lin Jun finally spoke.
"Grab aside."
"Let that Lysenko go back to his hometown and become an agricultural technician."
"What?!" Alexander was a little surprised, the central meaning was more inclined to purge the other faction.
"It is Lysenko who has elevated an academic problem to a political problem, and has not made any breakthrough in wheat research, but he has a set of political struggles, lest the world will not be chaotic. In any period, they will go online, take special cases as a common phenomenon, and make political capital and academic status for themselves. If you don't have some skills, you can send him to jail directly. ”
Alexander was speechless, a few small words of idle talk about the supervision of agricultural production could change the decision of the Central Committee, and this Andrei really could think of anything. But whether you want to figure it out or not, you can do it yourself, anyway, it doesn't mean anything to you who is finished on both sides, and Andre's words didn't miss it, and it must make sense in the future.
"The central government was supposed to purge the Vavilov faction." It is still necessary to mention it.
"It's not a problem, if it weren't for the waste of food sent to prison, and the guy still had some research on agricultural technology, otherwise it would be appropriate to send him to prison. He was only allowed to work as a production technician, and he was not allowed to engage in his messy research. I'll go to the central government and say, you just have to let the people below deal with it. ”
Alexander shrugged his shoulders indifferently: "I don't care, I'm a layman anyway, Comrade Stalin, then you go and say." “
"Hehe, of course I'm going to say, you have people prepare some reports on Lysenko's research and practical experiments in the past few years."
"When you go back to Moscow, I'll have someone prepare it for you." Alexander said that there was no problem: of course there was no problem, Tukhachevsky's "treason" was won by himself and Lin Jun, and now Comrade Marshal is not just sitting on the sidelines.
"Black can be white, not to mention it could be white in the first place." Alexander didn't care.
The two discussed agricultural issues, and Tukhachevsky basically did not understand, but that Lysenko still knew something: he was already an authority on agricultural technology in the Soviet Union many years ago. Lin Jun's few words made him unlucky, which was a bit of a sense of déjà vu for Tukhachevsky.
However, Lin Jun in front of him is much more moderate than Stalin, and at least he can come up with some theories, and Tukhachevsky is also very disgusted with those who raise the problem to the highest level at every turn, just like the "Great Purge" a few years ago, which made the whole country seem to be enemies.
"By the way, Alexander, why did the Central Committee purge the Vavilov faction in the first place?" Tukhachevsky asked.
"British spy, huh." Alexander was amused for that reason.
"Spies? It seems that spies are not worth much in this world! Tukhachevsky sighed a little.
Lin Jun on the side heard the strict marshal comrade come up with a cold humor in his own style, he couldn't hold back anymore, laughed, and pointed at Alexander with his hand: "You person! No culture! ”
British spy - that's a terrible reason!
If Lin Jun hadn't intervened, it wouldn't be funny at all: a "rotten" reason would have killed people -- Vavilov, a famous plant breeder and geneticist in the Soviet Union, was arrested in 1940 and sentenced to death, then commuted to 20 years in prison, and died in Saratov Prison in 1943 due to malnutrition.
On November 23, Lin Jun, who had completed the inspection of the Baltic Littoral Military District, returned to Moscow with Alexander, leaving Tukhachevsky with a promise to add two tank divisions and two mechanized divisions within two months.
Early in the morning of the 24th, Lin Jun, who had not slept all night, went to the Kremlin with the evidence of the failure of Lysenko's research in his briefcase.
It only took 20 minutes for Stalin to scold Lysenko for being a big moth, and if it weren't for Lin Jun's persuasion that this person still had some real talent, Stalin would have called the Odessa side to arrest him directly (which would have made Lysenko the dean of the Odessa Agricultural Academy.) )。
"Andrei, I just have a question for you. Now all the people in the center, including all the officers, you have the most insight into atomic weapons. Vorosinov talked about the establishment of an atomic weapons testing site the other day, but there was not a suitable place, he did not have a visual understanding of the power and side effects of atomic weapons, and we would all like to hear your opinion. ”
Lin Jun's head rose a little when he heard this, this Stalin was obviously a little fascinated by the atomic bomb, and he also blamed himself for drawing a global strategic blueprint that was too tempting.
"Where's that? Although the Soviet Union was large, it really couldn't find a good place like Lop Nur: many places, although desolate, still had scattered settlements; There are many large areas of no man's land, but if you decide to drop the atomic bomb on the primeval forests or steppes of Siberia, God will not let you go. ”
Unconsciously walking to the large map on the wall, Stalin did not bother the general: Andrei was thinking about the most suitable place.
Lin Jun's eyes wandered between the Far North and Central Asia, and Stalin realized that he was looking at Kazakhstan and Novaya Zemlya.
"The same consideration, to be sparsely populated." Stalin took a large cigarette butt in his mouth and did not make a sound.
Novaya Zemlya, if you think about geology and the environment, is obviously the most suitable place to test. However, it is obvious that the current supporting technology cannot meet the needs of systematic construction in the alpine ice field, and it is difficult to solve the logistics of conducting nuclear tests.
"Semipalatinsk? Troublesome! ”
Lin Jun's mind was running at high speed, and he clearly knew where the Soviet Union was building a nuclear weapons test site, but the side effects were even clearer!
The Semipalatinsk nuclear test site, the main nuclear test site of the Soviet Union, is located in the northeast of Kazakhstan, with core coordinates of 50 degrees north latitude and 80 degrees east longitude, about 150 kilometers away from the city of Semipalatinsk. It is ideal for testing atomic bombs with small and medium yields, but there are also many problems: the Semipalatinsk nuclear test site was notorious in the past!
Nearly 200 underground experiments have been conducted at the Semipalatinsk nuclear test site in its history. To this day, large quantities of radioactive nuclear elements - plutonium, strontium and palladium - are buried under the mountain. On August 28, 1949, the Soviet Union exploded its first experimental atomic bomb there, just over 30 meters above the ground. In the village of Dolong, 50 kilometers from the blasting site, there was no protection, and all 800 local villagers were exposed to deadly radiation. The strong winds that night carried the atomic dust 500 kilometers away.
"No one knew that the milk and meat produced would get sick if they ate it, many people would be blind after many years, and many people would not be able to cure their pains. The daughters of the village who married were divorced because they could not have children. Many of the children are fools, and many young people choose to commit suicide to end their suffering. Lin Junneng clearly remembered the words of these Dolon villagers.
But in the face of national interests, there are some costs that need to be paid, and if you can see it in advance, you can avoid it as much as possible.
Lin Jun's hand drew a circle in the west-southwest of Semipalatinsk, "Right here, the desolate region of northeastern Kazakhstan. The area of the experimental site should be as large as possible, and all the residential areas in the experimental field area should be relocated as a whole, which can not only ensure the confidentiality of the experiment, but also avoid accidents. ”
Stalin nodded, apparently he also agreed with Lin Jun's suggestion: "The train from Novosibirsk can go directly to Semipalatinsk, so that the distance between the research base and the experimental site is no more than 1,000 kilometers, which is more suitable than Novaya Zemlya." ”
"Semipalatinsk is just a short-term option for us to cope with the current situation, and in the future Novaya Zemlya will be the best nuclear test site."
