Chapter Seventy-Eight: Guernica
After the team of aircraft designers left the Zhukovsky Academy, Lin Jun threw himself into his new job, spending the rest of his time in the Kremlin's own office, except for sleeping at night and going home. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Stalin gave him enough "room for development", and the work he was asked to take charge of covered almost all aspects of the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army, so to speak, as long as Lin Jun wanted to do it, he could intervene in any place related to the army, but he would not do that: first of all, blind interference would only add to the chaos, and he did not have such good energy.
That Yenov didn't know what kind of "nerves" he was guilty of, and he was on "sick leave" every day, and handed over the daily work of the Ministry of Internal Affairs to the chiefs below.
"Will he be wise enough to protect himself? Probably not! Lin Jun knows the power of this "butcher": Yenov just wants to "lurk" for a while, or there is some "big move" brewing. Lin Jun was not afraid that he would point the finger at himself, because Yenov was not that stupid.
On April 20, a guest came to Lin Jun's house, and Lin Jun had been waiting for him for 2 months.
Professor Bai Tuke told Lin Jun: "The research is feasible! ”
That night, Lin Jun and Betuko rushed to the Kremlin without dinner, and the two did not leave Stalin's office until 3 o'clock in the middle of the night. Since the research of atomic weapons is demanding in all aspects, and Professor Bettuko's "nest" in Novosibirsk, and in all respects the Novosibirsk region is the best choice for the study of atomic bombs, and the final secret research base is located there.
Three days later, Bai Tuko was accompanied by Kremlin personnel to Leningrad and other places to "recruit troops", but Lin Jun did not participate too much: "It's better to stay away from the layman." ”
Alexander was promoted again. After Lin Jun proposed to Stalin, he was not only promoted to the rank of divisional political commissar, but also transferred to the position of chief of the investigation department of the Soviet State Security Council, a position in charge of censorship, arrest, and shooting, second only to the chairman of the committee and the general political commissar. The chairman was the "sick" Yenov (NKVD was another of his titles), and the post of "General Political Commissar" remained vacant after Yagoda's execution, so that Alexander became the de facto head of the State Security Council now.
Lin Jun proposed this arrangement to Stalin after deep consideration, and Stalin was also very "face-saving", and Alexander also showed excellent ability in the handling and investigation of the Yagoda case, which Stalin could see. Besides, this Alexander can also be regarded as a "newcomer" and "his own man", Stalin agreed with Lin Jun's suggestion.
"Andrey, you've pushed me to the crater!" This is what Alexander said to Lin Jun after Stalin talked to him.
"We are brothers, after the original group of traitors were executed, these important positions are empty, who else will I look for if I don't look for brothers? You are treating my kindness as a donkey's liver and lungs! ”
"What do you mean to be kind to be a donkey's liver and lungs?!" Alexander clearly couldn't turn the corner.
"Too lazy to talk nonsense with you, should you be inappropriate? If I don't want to do it, I'll go and tell Comrade Stalin, and there are many good comrades who want to do it. ”
"Yes, yes, you spare me!"
Alexander also knew that Andrei was joking with himself: this position was "coveted" by a person like himself who did "special" work, and there was a good chance of entering the highest decision-making level of the country from here. Andrei's kindness, of course, he understood, that he would propose to Stalin only if he considered himself a brother.
With Alexander in the National Security Council, Lin Jun's life will be much better in the future. Alexander, Lin Jun, knows a lot about it, although there are ten "old Chekas", but he is still very principled, and Lin Jun is relieved to have him there.
"Judging from the situation in the past two years, the purge has caused great losses to the Soviets, especially the things done by the "executioner" and his men. When you get to that position, you have to pay attention, and you have to protect your comrades as much as possible, because we have already suffered great losses. ”
"With me here, the work there will definitely be transferred to normal channels, but I am afraid of some people's interference." Who was Alexander afraid of interference? That Yenov, of course. And the reason why he would say this is that he also already felt something: Andrei also looked at Yenov unhappy!
"Now you just need to grasp the small things, and we will discuss the problems that cannot be gnawed. Since he is going to be sick, let him give birth, you first sort out the affairs of your side, and if those people are not competent, you will boldly change them, anyway, you have a lot of original subordinates. Don't be afraid of offending people, you can't stand it, you can't stand it, I can't stand it, and Comrade Stalin is there. I guess it won't be long before that person will be with us, maybe he doesn't want to be like this, to be honest, we don't want to be like this, but this can't be helped, we are too different from his style, I hope it won't be a lose-lose situation at that time. Lin Jun had already thought of something big that was going to happen, and that Yenov would definitely be his enemy by then.
"If something big happens to you, be sure to talk to me. I'm not reaching out. ”
Of course, Alexander understood what Lin Jun meant, "You treat me as a brother, I understand it psychologically." Now we are crossing the river in a boat, and whoever is finished is unlucky, and if we are not united, no one knows what will happen in the current environment. ”
Alexander knew that after Stalin gave Andrei the right, he had already attracted the "attention" of Yenov, and he would have been counted as "Andrei's side", that is, he was still nesting in the original position, once Andrei had an accident, then he would be doomed, and now the only way is for the two of them to "wear a pair of pants" and tide over the difficulties together.
After "helping Alexander" to the position of head of the investigation department, Lin Jun also went to the General Armament Department several times for the T-34 matter, but Marshal Mikhail Nikolayevich Tukhachevsky over there simply "had no match" with this "hairy boy", and he probably looked down on Andrei who came up a little bit by "nepotism".
Although Tukhachevsky was not very welcoming to him, Lin Jun still maintained his usual respect for him. In fact, Tukhachevsky is still more principled, and he still gives enough support for weapons with excellent performance, and he is also a die-hard supporter of the Soviet Union's "large-scale mechanized corps operations", and the new tank is also his "favorite".

On the afternoon of April 26, 1937, Lin Jun returned home a few hours earlier than usual, and locked himself in his study as soon as he entered, much to Vukinskaya's surprise.
"Fekochinov, what happened today?" Vukinskaya asked the confidential secretary who had returned with her.
"We don't know very well, but in the afternoon, after reading a briefing on the latest war situation in Spain, Comrade Andrei told me to prepare a car and go home, but he didn't say anything."
"Didn't talk in the car?"
"Yes, I didn't say a word, but I seem to be in a very bad mood."
Vuginskaya knocked on the door for a long time, and Lin Juncai inside opened the door.
"What's wrong, Andrei?" She saw that her husband's spirit was a little bad, and his eyes were a little red, which made her very nervous.
Lin Jun took a telegram from his desk and handed it to his wife: On the morning of April 26, the German "Condor" regiment concentrated more than 200 bombers to raid the northern town of Guernica, with an estimated civilian casualties of more than 3,000 and the city basically destroyed.
In just one line, Vuginskaya can already feel how miserable what happened there, but her husband is also a "passer" in the sea of corpses and blood, and this situation should not make him so "out of shape".
"I could have saved them, and it's my fault."
Lin Jun was stunned when he saw this telegram in his office, because it reminded him of an incident in his previous life, if it weren't for this telegram, he might never remember: it was an art class in junior high school, and the art teacher introduced several paintings of Picasso to his classmates, one of which was "Guernica".
Picasso was right in front of me and sketched me, and I forgot about Guernica! - This made it difficult for Lin Jun to forgive himself.
"Fekochinov." Lin Jun walked to the door and called his secretary.
Fekochinov immediately appeared in front of Lin Jun.
"You take this telegram to the Military Council and have them send it immediately to Comrade Andlupuf in Spain."
"Yes, Comrade Andrey!" Fekochinov received the telegram and immediately rushed to the Military Council.
There were only two short words on the telegram: Wang Gang.
Andlupf also knew that Wang Gang's house was in Guernica, and he would understand the meaning of the telegram, which the enemy could not understand.
Lin Jun wants revenge!
"Andrei, you're no longer in Spain, don't blame yourself." Vukinskaya persuaded her husband that she could not find a more appropriate language.
"It's because I didn't think it through, and if I had warned Andlupf that the enemy might launch a massive bombardment of the city, this tragedy might not have happened."
Lin Jun could only say this to his wife.
In the evening, a guest came to the house, Yakov, who had already served as deputy director of the Air Force of the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army, and he talked to Lin Jun about what happened in Spain.
Yakov also learned about the tragedy that had happened in Guernica, and the latest briefing he had received at dinner. He also knew that Lin Jun's previous "guards" were all there, and this time Guernica was almost completely destroyed, and that Wang Gang's family was more than lucky.
"This time the Germans used a lot of incendiary bombs, and most of the buildings in Guernica are made of stone and cement except for the exterior walls, and many of the internal structures are wood, and today is the day when the locals rush to the market, and the people in the vicinity are concentrated in the urban area, and many civilians are burned to death after being surrounded by fire." Yakov said.
"It also tells us that the large-scale bombardment of cities is very effective, especially for cities that use a lot of wood as a building, and can be completely destroyed if a large number of incendiary bombs are used intensively."
"Andrey, the solidification ****** you proposed some time ago has been successfully developed, and I went to the shooting range to see the test two days ago, and its power makes me feel a little terrifying. Everything that was the target was destroyed, even the tanks were burned and deformed. It's very powerful for animals, and if you get it, it's over. Yakov's back tingled at the thought of the screams of the goats that had been glued to napalm and burned alive.
"That's for the enemy, and their atrocities will be rewarded a thousand times over!"
