Chapter 10 It is one to save one

Life is like a train on a predetermined track, constantly moving forward. The same is true of Lin Jun's life www.biquge.info Vuginskaya has already gone to work at the academy medical center, and apart from causing a small "collective illness" incident, there has been no disturbance. In normal times, he either goes to the teaching and research department and the instructors to study air combat tactics, or he goes to the sky with his pilot comrades to conduct "on-the-spot" teaching and compare with each other. On holidays, I went out on an outing with my wife, or went to visit Uncle Ivan, and in addition to these, I invited a few of my better colleagues, such as Arkhipov and Andlupf, to dinner at home. Since he once showed his unique skills in Chinese food, Arkhipov and Andlupf have been dragging their families to Lin Jun's place to eat for two days.

You said that you would come to eat and eat, and there were a lot of reasons, such as coordinating work, studying tactics, and helping with housework, and then simply bought good vegetables and brought them to Lin Jun's house, saying that they would improve the food together, of course, it must be Lin Jun who was in charge - they were just two old scoundrels!

In fact, this superficially ordinary life was not peaceful at all, and Stalin had been paying attention to this young man behind his back. All of Lin Jun's tactical research results will be sent to this leader's desk. And the "butcher" Yenov also followed Stalin's instructions, and asked his subordinates to keep an eye on this genius-like Lin Jun, of course, but only to pay attention to it, not to monitor.

Stalin also listened to the analysis of Lin Jun's research results by several air force generals, and to be honest, even Stalin had some suspicions that this person was a "superman" who fell from the sky, and according to all the information known by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, this Andrei had absolutely no access to secrets or foreign affairs before. Some people reacted that this young man had let his beautiful military doctor wife learn German and English, would it be possible to defect to the enemy? The result was a slap in the face from Stalin: have you ever seen a steady stream of traitors who dedicate such important research results to the state!

Stalin once again weighed heavily on this Andrei in his heart, and was even more sure that he was a young officer worth grooming. Lin Jun and his wife were also invited to the Kremlin for dinner twice, and on the October Revolution Day, they were also invited to Red Square to watch the grand military parade on the viewing platform next to the rostrum.

Stalin saw from experience that the daughter of the old Tsarist count would not lead Andrei to a dangerous path, and this should be a good girl. He had always been very confident in his judgment, but there was one thing he felt he was a little confused. How could this young Andrei get so much attention from himself? Perhaps he was very similar to his eldest son, Yakov, witty and courageous.

Because of the importance of Lin Jun's scientific research, Stalin decided to award him the Order of the Red Banner and the Order of the Red Star in recognition of his contributions to the Soviets and the army. But before the commendation decision could be communicated, a big event happened!

On December 1, 1934, member of the Politburo of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Brazzaville, secretary of the Central Committee and secretary of the Leningrad Regional Party Committee, Chee•m•Kirov was shot and assassinated in the back in the corridor of the Molny Palace in Leningrads. In the evening of the same day, Stalin, Molotov, Voroshilov, Yezhov, Yagoda, Zhdanov and others made a special trip from Moscow to Leningrad. Stalin personally interrogated the murderers. The assassination provoked great shock and indignation among the public throughout the Soviet Union.

A few days later, on Stalin's proposal, the Central Executive Committee and the Council of People's Commissars of the USSR adopted the Resolution on Amending the Code of Criminal Procedure in Force in the Union Republics, which reads: 'The Code of Criminal Procedure in force in the Union Republics shall be amended as follows in matters relating to the detection and trial of terrorist organizations and the conduct of terrorist activities against functionaries of Soviet power: 1. Investigation of these cases shall not exceed ten days. 2. The conclusion of the accusation shall be handed over to the defendant one day and night before the formal trial begins. 3. Neither the plaintiff nor the defendant participate in the trial. 4. Judgment appeals and requests for pardon are not accepted. 5. Execution of capital punishment sentences as soon as they are announced. ‘

In Leningrad, immediate action was taken. On 28 December, Nikolaev, the murderer of Kirov, and 13 other accomplices were tried by the Military Justice Section of the Supreme Court of the Soviet Union, all of whom were convicted and sentenced to death.

After the Kirov case, on January 18, 1935, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Brazzaville sent a secret letter to Party organizations at all levels regarding the Kirov assassination. The letter said: 'Opportunistic composure must be eliminated, which proceeds from the erroneous assumption that, as our strength grows, the enemy seems to become more and more docile and injurious. This assumption is fundamentally wrong. It is the resurgence of ****, it wants everyone to believe that the enemy will quietly climb into socialism, and they will eventually become real socialists. The Bolsheviks should not sit back and be careless. What we need is not poise, but vigilance, the revolutionary vigilance of a real Bolshevik. It must be remembered that the more desperate the enemy's situation is, the more they want to resort to extreme means as the only means of their dying struggle against Soviet power. This must be remembered and vigilance must be maintained. In response to the letter's demands, party organizations at all levels launched a 'campaign to confess and admit their mistakes', with many admitting that they were 'not vigilant' and 'linked to hostile elements', and a number of people were expelled from the party and arrested, most of them former oppositionists. During this period, in accordance with the instructions of the Party Central Committee, a review of all Party cards was conducted.

The terrifying "purge" campaign has begun!

When Lin Jun learned of this incident at the party member meeting of the academy on December 1, the first thing he said when he went home and saw Vuginskaya was: "If you stay at home during this time, you will say that you are sick, and I will talk about it as a dean." ”

Vuginskaya was already aware of the assassination and knew that something big was going to happen. She had already been through a political campaign and knew its power.

When night fell, Vukinskaya snuggled up to her husband's broad, warm chest, feeling that only this was safe.

"Andrey, something big is going to happen again, I'm a little scared. I'm afraid it's going to affect you. ”

"My Kaya, don't worry. I've thought about it, it's okay now that the sky falls, someone will help us with it. ”

"Do you say Comrade Stalin?"

"Yes, Comrade Stalin. Okay, stop thinking about it, go to sleep. ”

"I and my wife must be fine, and the rest of the people around me, Molokov will fly across the North Pole in the future, and it will be fine. Uncle Ivan is just a mechanic, and this "rebellion" is mainly aimed at high- and middle-level local and military cadres, and he should also spend it safely. It's just that Arkhipov and Andlupuv are not easy to say, alas! Lin Jun thought about it and fell asleep.

After the New Year, Lin Jun received a phone call from the Kremlin saying that he would come to Comrade Stalin's office the next morning to receive the commendation for his great contribution to the Air Force.

The next day, Lin Jun came to the Kremlin in full dress early in the morning, and because Comrade Stalin had a temporary meeting, Stalin's secretary asked Lin Jun to wait in other offices. Because this secretary comrade also had to attend the meeting, he was very anxious, so he temporarily arranged Lin Jun in his office.

This arrangement saved two lives.

Lin Jun in the office couldn't sit still for a long time, and walked to the window to look at the scenery. Anyway, the office door was open, and there were people coming and going in the corridor, and I was not suspected of rummaging through things.

A cold wind blew in from the open window, Lin Jun shivered, and hurriedly closed the doors and windows. In the blink of an eye, Lin Jun saw a document on the secretary's desk blow open, and saw that it read, "Zhukovsky Air Force Academy Arrest List, the first name on it is Arkhipov, and at the end of the document has been signed Stalin's very distinctive signature."

The file was blown open by the wind for a moment, and then slowly closed again.

This scared Lin Jun out of a cold sweat, and when he calmed down, the secretary also came back.

"Comrade Andrei, Comrade Stalin wants to see you now."

Lin Jun, who came out of Stalin's office, had another shining "Order of the Red Banner" and a "Order of the Red Star" on his chest, and he was also carrying a major uniform in his hand. Because the uniforms of the Red Army lieutenant and the colonel were different, and he had just been appointed the youngest major in the Soviet Army, and he also set a record for the fastest promotion of a Red Army officer from lieutenant to major.

In Stalin's office, Stalin praised Lin Jun for his outstanding contribution to the Red Army. After the commendation, Stalin also talked to Lin Jun about the recent campaign to eliminate opportunism, and Lin Jun was terrified when he listened. You know, now that he is in a fierce ideological struggle, what should be done about Comrade Arkhipov?

Patiently listened to Stalin's nagging, yes, nagging!

It was the conversation full of nagging that made Lin Jun feel something: Comrade Stalin regarded himself as his own, and just now it was not just a parent's nagging in front of the younger generation.

Lin Jun, who had made up his mind in his heart, found a big office in the Kremlin and borrowed the phone: "I am Andrei, just now Comrade Stalin promoted me to the rank of military, and your Andrei is now a major." Go and invite the whole family of Comrade Arkhipov and Androupf to lunch, yes, the whole family is invited, and if they must come, we will have a good celebration. ”

The office staff on the side were all smiling when they heard Lin Jun's call. The youngest Hero of the Soviet Union, and now the youngest major, has a bright future!

"Congratulations, Comrade Andrey!" After hanging up the phone, Lin Jun was congratulated by many people on the side.

"Thank you, comrades, I'm sorry to disturb your work." Lin Jun thanked the people around him for their congratulations and walked quickly outside. It looks like a noisy person who is in a hurry to go home and share happiness with his lover and friends.

Interesting young man! This is what everyone in the office thinks when they look at Lin Jun's back.

"I don't know how many people are on that list, but I can save one." A bold plan to save people had already taken shape in Lin Jun's mind.
