There are limits to what you can do, especially if you want to coordinate the development of a country. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Lin Jun is not a great man, and he didn't want to be a great man in the past. It takes so much to become a great man, so he chooses a life where he feels comfortable. Perhaps this comfortable life is a preparation for the hardships ahead.
The power of the state is immense, and it requires the cooperation of everyone.
When the behemoth of the Soviet Union wanted to change the direction of its movement, even a little change, the manpower and material resources involved were beyond the control of ordinary people.
This driver was Stalin, not Lin Jun. Since the last air and sea exercises and those meetings, a series of orders have been issued from the Kremlin. It's like a giant ship, when the captain in the command room gives one order after another, all departments are mobilized according to the instructions. Lin Jun was just a staff officer at Stalin's side, and now that this staff officer has completed a stage of work, the next time is decided by the decision-makers.
Of course, the decision-maker knows the importance of the staff officer around him, and he also thinks that maybe this staff officer can be trained to become a decision-maker one day, but he also knows: the wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it. And just after the example of Sergei Milonovich Kirov was put in front, Stalin still decided to let this Andrei come down from the cusp for a while, and this was also a decision made after talking to Lin Jun.
Lin Jun really wanted to rest. Since coming to this "Soviet Union" more than a year ago, I have not been idle. At present, what I need to remind the decision-makers has basically been proposed, and the trajectory of the Soviet giant ship will also change because of some of its previous actions, so it is better to "hide" below. Sometimes it's not a good thing to be too eye-catching—Lin Jun knows this very well.
"There are so many opportunities to come back [to the front desk] in the next few years." This is Lin Jun's idea. He needs to rest, because from next year he will be thrown into the long war. This should be his last leisure time.
According to the information obtained from some sources, due to his own "bombshells" one after another, the leadership's attention has shifted to military construction reform, rather than focusing on the "suppression of rebellion." This was unexpected by Lin Jun.
May 1, 1935, Red Square.
Lin Jun unexpectedly appeared on the rostrum of the parade ceremony. Although he was only at the end of the crowd, it had already drawn many people's attention to the young lieutenant colonel with 6 top medals on the chest of his dress.
A BT fast tank marched through Red Square with a red flag in high air, followed by a blackened army of steel -- the T-28 3-turret tank with metal nameplates and the latest, majestic T-35 5-turret tank. At this moment, the voice of the announcer came over the loudspeaker: "、、、、、、 any enemy who dares to attack the Soviets will be crushed in every battlefield they can reach." As soon as our valiant tank driver presses the starting device, the invincible Iron Lion will deliver a devastating blow to the enemy, whether in the forest or on the hills! ”
Needless to say, the spectacular tank clusters and the appropriate propaganda of the announcers could easily make the majestic wind emanating from Red Square penetrate into the hearts of the Soviet people, foreign observers, and journalists. And for all this, the representatives of the Central Executive Committee and the senior generals on the rostrum, although their faces were still as proud and happy as in previous years' military parades, they already had different feelings in their hearts. The majestic image of these multi-turret tanks has gone from being truly impressive to being a tool against foreign observers and journalists. They all know that various military scientific research institutions and military enterprises in the Soviet Union are secretly developing a variety of new weapons suitable for modern warfare. Everything in front of us is a smoke bomb for the other developed countries -- the secrets of the Soviets cannot be known and understood by other countries too soon.
In the afternoon of the same day, Stalin made an unprecedented offer: to secretly award Andrei Nikolayevich Plunyakov the title of "Hero of the Soviet Union" for a second time in recognition of his great contributions. Because of the Regulations on the Title of Hero of the Soviet Union at that time, a person could receive the title of "Hero of the Soviet Union" only once. However, the rules are made by the Central Executive Committee, and as long as the Central Executive Committee approves it unanimously, it is of course possible to make an exception.
It's just that this second award of "Hero of the Soviet Union" is secret, so Lin Jun only got the second large certificate of "Hero of the Soviet Union", and the "Order of Lenin" was not awarded for the time being, and "bookkeeping". The only people who knew about this resolution were members of the Central Executive Committee and important people who knew about the reshaping of the Red Army.
In the next month or so, Lin Jun returned to the Kovsky Air Force Academy and was still honestly his acting chairman of the party committee. Life is still the same, in addition to work every day, it is "a big family" to eat, and Lin Jun is still his "fire army".
At dinner that day, Lin Jun handed Arkhipov a document on the appointment of the Central Executive Committee: the decision to restore Vasily •Afayevich •Comrade Arkhipov to the Chairman of the Party Committee of the Zhukovsky Air Force Academy.
"The report I sent to Comrade Stalin the other day was approved only this afternoon. It's better for you to be the chairman of this party committee, if I continue to work for a few more years, I will have to live a few years. Lin Jun came with a push, two, five, six.
"Andre, do you have a new position?" Although Arkhipov knew that Lin Jun really didn't want to be the chairman, and he didn't have any hope for the reinstatement of the officer, it should be said that he and Andlupf were lucky to be able to save their lives. As a result, thanks to Andrei's strong guarantee, not only did he return to his original position, but Andlupuv was promoted to the rank of colonel and was awarded the Order of the Red Banner. He really didn't have anything else to say about Andrei's brother.
"Vuginskaya and I are going to the Crimean Peninsula for a few months on vacation, Comrade Stalin gave special approval. As you know, I haven't been idle since I got here, and it's time for me to go on vacation. And Kaya hasn't been to a warm area yet, so she should enjoy it, hehe. Besides, everything is free. ”
"Andre, judging from some of the research topics received by the academy during this time, there may be big moves on it, is it appropriate for you to leave at this time?" Arkhipov did not know about the restructuring of the construction of the Red Army, but only drew conclusions based on his extensive experience.
"Hehe, Arkhipov, I know what you guess, but I can't tell you for disciplinary reasons, because it's top secret, I think you can understand. Just wait and wait, it will happen when you feel surprised, of course, it is a good direction. In fact, Andlupuf also knows a little, but he was also given a gag order. ”
Andlupf over there helplessly spread his hands, saying that he couldn't say anything.
"Don't worry, I'm an old ** and know discipline." Arkhipov, of course, understood the reason why Andrei couldn't say it clearly, he was just worried that at this critical moment Andrei "ran away", whether something unpleasant happened with the above.
Lin Jun knew what this big brother thought: "Don't worry, my big brother!" Let me tell you one thing, the Central Executive Committee has secretly awarded me the title of "Hero of the Soviet Union" for the second time, but for some reasons of secrecy in the country, very few people know about it. ”
Now Arkhipov is really relieved! The second time the title of "Hero of the Soviet Union", what is that concept ?! This brother must have established an incomparably significant meritorious service before he was awarded, and it was secretly awarded, which further illustrates the importance of this meritorious achievement! It is so important that it needs to be kept top secret and not made known to the outside world. From this, it can be seen that Andrei has an extremely important position in the eyes of the Kremlin, and as a big brother, he is of course relieved.
On June 21, the Midsummer Festival, two important guests were welcomed to the VIP waiting room of the Moscow railway station, who will take the train to the south, to the resort town of Sochi on the Black Sea coast. Needless to say, they are Lin Jun and his wife Vukinskaya.
For this vacation, Vukinskaya showed great enthusiasm. No way, she hasn't been to a place with a warm climate since she was born. As an adult, she worked in Chukotsi, far north, and the appeal of the subtropical climate to her is something few people can understand. Lin Jun also felt sorry for his wife, so he chose the vacation destination in Sochi, a seaside resort. If he had followed his ideas, it would have been better to go to Lake Baikal in Siberia.
Because Lin Jun wanted his wife to be really happy, he deliberately arranged the vacation process to be comfortable and luxurious. The best premium boxes for senior executives were booked, and a sea-view villa was booked in advance in Sochi. Of course, everything is free of charge, and the Central Executive Committee pays for it. Although the arrangement of the trip is a bit too grand and luxurious for a lieutenant colonel couple, Lin Jun is a "Hero of the Soviet Union" and can enjoy such treatment, but ordinary people are relatively low-key. But now it is difficult to keep a low profile, because when Lin Jun told Stalin that he wanted to go to Sochi, Stalin originally arranged for him to be even more excessive than this, so Lin Jun declined. "It's better to be low-key, it's better to be low-key!" This is what he thinks.
Vasya Grigolevich is the captain of the holiday train from Moscow to Sochi. The day before, he had been informed that an important officer and his wife were going to Sochi on his own train, and that he needed to personally go to the VIP waiting room to pick them up. And the call turned out to be a direct call from the Kremlin office, which made the 50-year-old train conductor feel that this VIP to be picked up must be very important.
These two distinguished guests surprised our Comrade Vasya Grigoevich, who had imagined that they must be elderly senior generals, but did not expect them to be a young lieutenant colonel couple. Of course, Comrade Commander would never have considered the young couple unimportant, because the young and handsome lieutenant colonel actually had two Orders of Lenin, two Red Banners and two Red Star medals on his chest! Even his beautiful officer's wife hung a Red Banner medal. And Vasya Grigolevich has already recognized this comrade lieutenant colonel as the "Hero of the Soviet Union" Andrei Nikolayevich Prenyakov.
Located on the eastern coast of the Black Sea, about 1,500 kilometers south of the Soviet capital Moscow, Sochi is the Soviet Union's premier seaside resort with a population of 400,000. The Greater Caucasus Mountains block cold air from the north and northeast, giving it a pleasant subtropical climate. The climate in Sochi is warm and humid, with spring all year round, no more than 30°C in summer and around 8°C in winter. It is also the northernmost region on Earth with a subtropical climate. Various tropical plants such as palms, magnolias, camellias, bamboo, etc. can be found everywhere.
In Sochi, June-August is the golden month of the year. However, the sea is accessible in May, and the weather cools down after November, making Sochi even more famous for its numerous sanatoriums and retreats. Many trade unions in the Soviet Union had free sanatoriums here, where trade unionists could take a vacation with their families.
The above is Lin Jun's knowledge of this destination, and his wife can be said to know more about Sochi, because after knowing that she decided to go on vacation, Vuginskaya went to check all the information she could find about Sochi.
"Hehe, crazy woman!" Lin Jun's thoughts.
