Chapter 155: The New Captain of the Guard

History, which is written by the victors, can be completely different, just as history is written by historians of different political ideologies. In the era that Lin Jun is living in now www.biquge.info justice and injustice are like white paper that can be gently turned, and whoever has the biggest fist is justified: when you are surrounded by hostile fists that are ready to move, the best choice is to take advantage of your own strength to give one of the potential enemies a hard blow!

The border between Finland and the Soviets in 1938 was only 23 kilometers from the city of Leningrad, and if you use large-caliber fortress guns, you can even shell Leningrad directly from the border positions! This threat alone was reason enough for Stalin to wage war in the North, not to mention other deadly threats.

Was Finland really as pure and unbeaten-chested as Western capitalist countries say? Of course not, Finland had become a bridgehead against the Soviets with economic support from the capitalist countries - there was no country or region in the world more suitable for this role, it was too close to the core of the Soviets!

In the area of the Karelian Isthmus, 32 kilometers from Leningrad, Finland began to build the "Men Nalin Line" comparable to the "Maginot Line" in 1927, with a total length of 135 kilometers and a depth of more than 90 kilometers! Finland is currently building a large number of military airports. The acceptance capacity is more than 10 times that of the Finnish Air Force itself! All this is a real threat from the north!

The second largest city, the most important industrial manufacturing base, and Lenin's city were always under such scrutiny, and everyone would have to find a way to leave enough safety distance, and Finland was not a friendly country to the Soviets, and those so-called peace treaties were simply a piece of waste paper, as if the deepest impression left by those peace treaties in history was how they were torn up.

Finland said that it would never allow a third country to use its own military facilities, but Stalin did not believe it, and Lin Jun did not believe it, and he could not believe it - if World War II broke out, Finland, which had always had friendly and close relations with Germany, would not become a client state of the Nazis? Finland will attack the Soviet Union as a "continuation of the war", Lin Jun does not dare to guarantee what will happen to the Finns, it is absolutely impossible to put Leningrad in the current situation, and the border must be pushed north, even if it is a big price!

The distance is 30 km! If Leningrad is lost, the consequences will be unimaginable from a strategic point of view, and he can only be a hardcore supporter of the Soviet-Finnish war.

、、、、、、

Lin Jun still had something to report to Stalin in private, but he didn't expect Stalin to have something to discuss with Lin Jun in private.

"Comrade Stalin, I want to study at the Frunze Military Academy for a period of time, and you also know that so far I have not systematically learned how to command a multi-arm composite force, and if a war breaks out in the future, I am worried that my ability will be insufficient."

Lin Jun's words made Stalin feel like he had discovered a new continent, and in his eyes Andrei was omnipotent, "It's really careless, and now Andrei's resume is almost blank." ”

Stalin thought crookedly, he thought that Andrei, who was omnipotent, should go to the academy to be gilded, otherwise the air force commander with only a degree from the Zhukov Air Force Academy might not accept the command of the composite forces in the future. It is no longer the time of the civil war, and the commander can command thousands of troops without any "diploma", and the necessary further education is needed.

Stalin did not think that Andrei would not be able to fight, whether it was his opinion on the war or the opinion of the people below him, this favorite general was an excellent commander - it was impossible for Stalin, who was in a high position, to hear other opinions that he did not want to hear, especially about Comrade Andrei, who would be so uninteresting?

Since you are going to go to the academy to gild, and time does not allow Ai Jiang to really become a "fully resigned" student, then simply take a step in place to study.

"Andrey, in a few days I will ask the Military Academy of the General Staff to organize a special crash course for senior military commanders, which will last for three months, and you will go too. Also, the Rokossovsky you just mentioned also asked him to go to the academy to study together, since you said that he was so good, after graduation, he was given the post of deputy commander of a military district. ”

I didn't expect this to be such a result, the Military Academy of the General Staff is a more "advanced" place than the Frunze Military Academy, basically the study classes offered by the academy are "fast-tracked", because all the people who come are high-ranking military cadres, it is impossible to study in it for more than a year, so the duration of study is generally one year or nine months, but this three-month "crash" is really too fast, this is obviously Stalin's care of his favorite generals -- Andrei, a busy man, is not allowed to be idle for too long at present, Stalin still had a lot of work to do.

At least all of those who enter the academy are cadres at the level of army commanders, and many of them are already commanders at the level of group armies, because the senior command class of the academy trains operations at the level of corps and campaign headquarters, is familiar with the most modern military technology and equipment, trains commanders to be good at organizing large-scale battles and campaign command of a combined army of various arms, and most importantly, is able to correctly and continuously command troops under complex and changeable circumstances -- a product of the typical offensive theory of the Soviet Union's large corps.

"I hope I'm really superhuman, otherwise these three months will be difficult!" There is no confidence in commanding a regiment, and it is not an ordinary embarrassment to go abroad when the time comes.

Fortunately, Rokossovsky, who was still in the guest room of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, became his classmate in a daze, and it was up to him to avoid embarrassment when the time came.

"Andrey, there's something I'd like to ask your opinion on."

This must be the most secret thing, otherwise it would not have been broken out even if Alexander was not suitable for understanding," you say, Comrade Stalin. ”

"It's about Pauckel, I'm a little skeptical about him during this time. He has followed me for so many years, but the current internal and external forms, I have to pay attention. ”

Stalin would have doubted anyone, but fortunately he would not have doubted himself.

"Comrade Paulkel's loyalty is unquestionable, but his Hungarian status is not suitable for his current post. Comrade Stalin, if you feel that he is a little unsuitable, transfer him from his current position and change his post. This will not only prevent some people from talking about it, but also eliminate any possible danger. ”

Stalin feared that if he abandoned the captain of the guard for many years now, it would cause panic among the top ranks, and such a matter could only be discussed with someone he could trust unconditionally, and the only candidate was Lin Jun.

"Andrey, do you have a suitable candidate for the captain of the guard?"

This can make Lin Jun stop: things can be eaten indiscriminately, but words can't be talked nonsense!

Seeing that Lin Jun didn't say anything, Stalin also felt that he really had some questions that were not in the place, and no one could answer such a question, especially in the current situation: he didn't trust the captain of the guard for many years, but let others recommend candidates, which guy dared to say?!

"I heard that your two previous staff officers were very good, which young man do you think is suitable to be my new guard captain?"

"Then I recommend Major Snornick, he is meticulous in his work, and I have always made him my life lieutenant before. Lieutenant Colonel Fekochinov was more capable of working, but was more suited to command the troops, than to defend the work. ”

"I trust your people, let Snornik report to the Kremlin now as the new captain of the guard, he is familiar with the work here; Pauker is your chief of staff from now on, and you have you to test his loyalty. ”

Snornik was originally sent to Lin Jun by Stalin from his own guard, and now he has been brought back.

Lin Jun unconsciously took the life of the Hungarians, otherwise he would definitely die when the Soviets and Germany went to war, but it was impossible to imagine that he would let his team serve as the captain of the Kremlin guard, it seems that Stalin was already suspicious of the people around him, just like in history, but to a much lesser extent.

Stalin was not at ease with the man who shaved himself, because he was a Hungarian, but he maintained a "gratitude": no matter how much Paukel had been with him for so many years, if the enemy had done it earlier. The safest way is to transfer him out, and Andre's team, the original members of the guard, is the most suitable new guard captain.

Half an hour later, Snornik, who had arrived from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, became the new Kremlin guard captain and was awarded the rank of lieutenant colonel, while Pauker had to report to the armament department after the handover.

Stalin was very face-saving and thoughtful: he asked Alexander to transfer 30 guards from the troops directly under the Ministry of Internal Affairs as the team of the "chief of staff", so that on the surface he was just sending his own guard captain to his first favorite general as the guard captain, and the new guard captain was originally the personal bodyguard of the love general.

Paukel did not have the slightest dissatisfaction with Stalin's decision, and after leaving the office, the Hungarian said to Lin Jun: "Thank you, Comrade Andrei, I will repay you with all your life loyalty for everything you have done for me." ”

After so many years by Stalin's side, Paukel had long been accustomed to everything in the power arena and knew why he had left the Kremlin.

It is troublesome to talk too much, "Comrade Paulkel, my chief of staff is not easy to do. I've got a bunch of clerks, you're going to be annoyed. ”

"I'm the captain of your guard, and I'm in charge of all your troubles."

Just kidding, after more than ten years as the captain of the Kremlin guard, there is nothing that Paukel can't solve, except for his own birth problem.
