"Molotov, immediately send a diplomatic note to Finland and tell them that their provocations will be answered by us!"

"Yes, Comrade Stalin. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo”

Molotov knew what he had to do, the attack on high-ranking Soviet cadres after the official signing of the armistice, for whatever reason, was an out-and-out assassination, a challenge to the Soviet regime!

"Vrosinov, the People's Commissariat of Defense immediately drew up a new battle plan, they have already torn up the agreement! Tell all the commanders and Red Army fighters that the Finns shamelessly assassinated our Deputy People's Commissar of Defense, that Finland has once again chosen war! ”

Stalin's eyes were gloomy, and he would not have been Stalin if he had not reacted in the strongest possible way! Others will think that the Soviets are soft persimmons that anyone can provoke!

"Yes, Comrade Stalin."

He completely agreed with Stalin's order, which must not be cheapened, "completely destroy Finland in one fell swoop!" Vorosinov also knew exactly what to do next, which was originally his strategic goal.

"Inform the Ministry of Propaganda and Agitation so that the whole world knows about the bad behavior of the Finns. Since they tore up the armistice and chose war, we gave them war! ”

Although he was furious, Stalin's thinking was still very clear, and when he grabbed the phone, Debenko on the other end did not dare to hang up the phone at all, and he clearly heard the order issued by Stalin in anger.

"Go all out to rescue Andre, what happened to you you know the result! I'll give you two days to completely wipe out the Finnish army in the isthmus area, I don't need prisoners! ”

"Yes, Comrade Stalin." Stalin's order reassured Debenko's heart, at least Stalin did not arrest himself directly. For the assassination, if you want to hold yourself accountable, you can't run away first, because the entry into the city is your own decision.

"Comrade Alexander will soon be coming to you from Kiev, and before he arrives, you must investigate the circumstances of this assassination, arrest all those responsible, and deal with it when Comrade Alexander arrives."

Put down the phone and press the bell button on your desk.

The high palace door opened, and Snolnik walked in, "Comrade Stalin." ”

"I immediately went to the hospital to pick up Comrade Vuginskaya, and said that I was feeling a little unwell and asked her to come and see. Also, inform the Guard Department to prepare two planes at the central airfield, and in two hours I will go to Leningrad. ”

As soon as the Kremlin guard captain entered the room, he already felt that the atmosphere was different, not at all the light-hearted and pleasant half an hour ago, and it was full of dangerous gloom. Stalin's words made his intuition know that something must have happened to Comrade Andrei, otherwise Stalin would not have been so nervous, and everyone's faces were very unsightly.

"Yes, Comrade Stalin." Knowing his responsibilities, he walked out of the office without asking a word.

Kiev, Alexander office of the military district.

Alexander, who put down the phone, pondered for a moment, "Andrey, you have to hold on!" ”

Stalin's somber voice was still ringing on the phone, he was asking Alexander to go to Vyborg to take full charge of the assassination, exactly the same situation as when Kirov was assassinated five years earlier, except that it was Yenov who was in his place at the time.

Stalin wanted revenge, revenge for Andrei, whose life and death hung by a thread. Five years ago, the events in Kirov caused a bloody storm for the entire Soviet Union, and the premise was that there was no specific goal, and now the goal is clear - Finland!

"Who else can give themselves a hint? Who else could dissuade Stalin ?! ”

Alexander had a headache, and Stalin was not going to simply dispose of those responsible: the fate of the Finns in the occupied territories had already been decided, and this was an attitude and punishment that had to be done to the whole Soviet Union and the whole world. If Andrei can survive this, it is better to say, if the worst happens, Stalin will definitely let the whole of Finland bury his successor! No matter what the cost! Stalin was already thoroughly enraged, and this was even worse than in 34.

The hunter hurt the cub in front of the polar bear, and the result would only be a crazy revenge of the polar bear - and now whoever went against Stalin's wishes except Andrei would seek his own death, Alexander knew very well.

"The Kremlin has ordered preparations to attack Finland again, and Vorosinov will definitely give it his all, this is not something he can control. Now that the road to Helsinki is open, it is only a matter of time before Finland does, if it begins. Finland would not obey, and if the Soviets had lost Andrei, Stalin could have done something even crazier than Germany, and no one would have kept absolute sanity in the face of the loss of two right-hand men in succession. ”

"What if it was Andrei?"

Alexander meditates in his office, and he wants to give himself a chance to think carefully.

"He will certainly dissuade Comrade Stalin's anger, keep the effects of the incident within a certain range, and will not point the whole finger at Finland, at least not the Finnish people. It's a pity that I'm not Andrey. ”

Alexander can only take one step at a time, and he called the commanders of the Kiev Special Military District, Ivan Fedorovich Fediko and Zhukov, and told them about the serious injury of Lin Jun's assassination.

Fediko and Zhukov are gloomy in anger, both of them have a good relationship with Lin Jun, especially Zhukov, who, like Alexander, has been classified as "Andrei". Lin Jun knew very well about the importance of the Soviet Union, and the three people in the office also understood the seriousness of the matter: the Kremlin and Stalin would never give up!

"Now hopefully Andre will get through this, everything else is secondary. If something misfortune happens, the two of them need to be ready for a big battle, and soon the whole world will know about it, and Comrade Stalin is going to make a national broadcast, and we all know what that means. ”

The three knew that this was Stalin's ****** for war, and that the entire Soviet population would be enraged, even worse than it had been five years earlier, and that the only outcome would be for Finland to be overwhelmed by this anger.

"Comrade Alexander, here you can rest assured that Zhukov and I are here. If something really unexpected happens, Kyiv will be ready. ”

"I will try my best to control the situation, or Comrade Andrei will trouble me in a few days."

Alexander is considered to be stable in people's hearts, and he expects Lin Jun to survive. Punishment is necessary, but the three of them don't want to let the Ministry of Internal Affairs slaughter the city now, they know Lin Jun, that's not what Lin Jun wants to see.

At 2:30 p.m. at Vyborg Airport, it was starting to get dark, with heavy snow, howling winds, and terrible visibility. Everyone on the ground ignored the wind and snow, and filled the crater with all the tools they could find.

The ambulance stopped on the side of the runway, and several military doctors closely monitored Lin Jun, who was in a deep coma. The heating was turned on in the car, but the doctors did not feel a trace of warmth: if something happened to the wounded, even if it happened after being sent to Leningrad, his fate could be tragic.

In the Vyborg hospital, the military doctors made a decision after urgent consultations, and if the Deputy People's Commissar of Defense remained in Vyborg, it would be a dead end. There is still a chance to go to Leningrad, and the military doctors have no choice but to gamble!

Rokossovsky waited in front of the airport radio station, like everyone else, staring at the snowy sky.

"Vyborg airport, we are a special flight from Leningrad, now I am over Vyborg, but I can't see the airport and the runway, please indicate us the target!"

The sound coming from the walkie-talkie was heavenly to everyone, and Rokossovsky grabbed the microphone and shouted: "I'm Vyborg Airport, let's mark the runway with flares and gasoline cans right away!" The length of the runway is only 400 meters! ”

"Roger. 400 meters is enough! The voice in the microphone was calm and firm!

Several red-green flares were fired into the sky, but they were soon flooded by heavy snow and disappeared, and the signalmen had to keep firing flares into the air, and two long rows of oil drums on both sides of the runway were ignited, and the fire and smoke screens marked the location of the runway.

A biplane wobbly appears in view, and the operator reports to the pilot the changing wind speed at the airport at any time.

Everyone sweated in their hearts, "Don't have an accident!" ”

Finally, with the excellent skill of the pilot, the transport plane landed on the airport with difficulty, and the ambulance immediately drove to the plane.

Rokossovsky rushed to the plane, when he saw the pilot open the cockpit window and shout: "Lift up, take off immediately!" ”

"Comrade Porenin, I've handed it over to you, I must send Comrade Andrei to Leningrad safely, and the military doctors will tell you!"

"Definitely, Comrade Deputy Commander! I'm in Comrade Andrey! ”

Yes, the plane was piloted by the commander of the Air Force of the Seventh Army, Lin Jun's old subordinate, the chief inspector of piloting skills of the Soviet Air Forces, the commander of the Air Division, Fedor Petrovich Polenin.

After receiving a call from Vyborg, Porenin immediately decided to fly the plane to the rescue: Vyborg needs the best pilot, and he is the best! (To be continued.) )
