Chapter 646 Stalin's Challenger
Staling had reason to believe that within the Soviets there was already a force against him, which had been organized and was weaving a conspiracy against him. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
During the time of Vladimir Lenin, he gradually squeezed out Toniu, suppressed a large number of Soviet Russian veterans such as Bukharin, and the completion of the first five-year plan made his personal prestige unprecedented, and his opponents became more and more opposed to him.
His contemporaries were suppressed by him, but they were not convinced, the five-year plan he led was an unprecedented success, but the mistakes were also very large, this is nothing special, as long as he is doing things, there will be omissions, and if he does not do things, he will not be wrong, so he led the industrialization of Soviet Russia, and also suffered a failure in the collectivization of agriculture.
The situation of a large number of people dying of starvation after collectivization is obviously unjustifiable and unjustifiable on any axiom of human society, and his political enemies took advantage of this and began to attack him in private, to hold all kinds of small circle gatherings, to discuss him in private, to deny him, and to deny him in whole by denying his agricultural collectivization.
For this kind of political countercurrent, Stalin can not accept, he will still unswervingly carry out industrialization, to carry out industrialization, still need agriculture to provide a lot of funds, raw materials, then collectivization must still be unswervingly implemented, because only collectivization, in order to grasp the maximum agricultural output in hand.
These facts, his political enemies are not unclear, but they consciously ignore the past and only grasp the negative issues to publicize them, this is a political struggle, there is only victory and defeat, there is no right or wrong.
Stalin's challenger this time is not a powerful veteran like Tuo Niu, but the power of the new generation of Soviet Russia, Kirov.
Kirov's resume is not as glamorous as that of Toniu, and he is obviously not as inconspicuous and aggressive as Toniu, but he has unknowingly become Stalin's biggest political opponent.
It all had to do with Kirov's background, which was basically a Soviet nativist with no illustrious travel experience and came from a family of working people. There is no stain, but he went to elementary and secondary school, received a systematic education in the days of Tsarist Russia, and after graduating from secondary school he studied at the Kazan Mechanical Institute. Then he entered the Tsarist government as a draftsman for the administration of the city of Tomsk, and at the same time studied at the Tomsk Polytechnic Institute.
After that, although he also organized revolutionary activities, he was exiled by the tsar and participated in propaganda work for a long time. participated in the October Revolution, counted as a revolutionary veteran, but not the main leader, in terms of background, he is not as good as Stalin's good partner in the past, and he was beaten by his political opponent Bukharin.
But a complete systematic education, coupled with political experience in the Tsarist government, made Kirov quite different from the main leadership style of Soviet Russia, that is, he appeared to be relatively moderate.
This is quite a normal thing, because Kirov has old bureaucratic experience. Compared with Stalin's wild way of rebellion, which is the difference between pet dogs and wild dogs, it is obvious that Kirov's worldview is much softer than Stalin's, and he is more receptive to opposing opinions, more receptive to other people's suggestions, and more willing to discuss peacefully with others.
Because of this style, the political atmosphere in Leningrad, led by Kirov, was very relaxed, and a large number of people dared to discuss and criticize Stalin.
In this case. Bukharin and other forces began to get close to Kirov, so that Kirov gathered a large number of dissatisfied politicians with Stalin.
Kirov's popularity was beyond Stalin's imagination.
At the just-concluded 17th National Congress of Soviet Russia, the results of the vote shocked Stalin. After the election, Stalin, although he was elected supreme leader, found that 270 votes had not been cast for him, and only 3 votes had not been cast for Kirov to remain leader.
This was followed by Kirov's speech, which was applauded by the deputies. It was longer than Stalin's applause, which had to make Stalin worry about his prestige, which meant that the people's hearts began to favor Kirov, but fortunately it was not Kirov who chose him, otherwise it would be a question of whether he would be elected or not.
At a time when internal politics are so unsettling, Stalin actually doesn't want to fight with Yang Chao anymore, in his opinion, the current situation is so unfavorable, it's okay to win the war, if he loses, he can only step down, it doesn't matter if he steps down, he can't think about what the outcome will be, how he dealt with his political opponents, and those people will definitely redouble their revenge after he falls.
This is the wild dog, always thinking about his opponent with the most tragic thoughts, so the methods he adopts are extremely cruel.
Stahlin believes that once he falls, his political opponents will definitely deprive him of his reputation, his status, will leave him in the stench for thousands of years, and most importantly, his policies, his five-year plan, will be finished.
The latter, in particular, was the most difficult for Stalin, as a revolutionary, he was not afraid of death, not even afraid of carrying a bad reputation, but his political life, his policies would never allow others to change.
And at this time, the voice of Yang Chao hoping for a truce came from the Americans, which really made Stalin not surprised, it was simply an unexpected surprise, in fact, Starling was very worried about the situation in Siberia before.
The reason is very simple, Yang Chao became the premier of China, and at the same time the prime minister of the Russian Empire, although he received a lot of criticism from the West, but Stalin felt real pressure, the previous year he was competing with Yang Chao, while trying to maintain China's neutrality, but now that Yang Chao is the premier of China, how can this be maintained?
He had already prepared the best plan, that is, in the event of Chinese intervention, he decided to abandon Siberia, shrink his army back to the Urals, keep Kurgan as much as possible, and threaten China with the Chinese garrison in Tyumen as a hostage if he had the opportunity.
Unexpectedly, at this time, Yang Chao suddenly contracted and expressed his willingness to stop fighting, although Starling was very skeptical about this, but he was willing to give it a try.
However, as a wild dog, greed is in nature, so he put forward unacceptable conditions, he waited for the other side to bargain, Stalin's bottom line is that if China does not intervene in the war, the other side can be allowed to take back Tomsk, and Soviet Russia gets the Tyumen oil fields, and the two sides divide the occupation zone with Novosibirsk.
But he didn't pay a price to the other party that he couldn't believe, the other party only asked him to quit Teschete, and he was a little skeptical of the other party's sincerity, but under the repeated assurances of the Americans, he still decided to give it a try.
The wild dog did not believe in the ability of his companions, and Stalin had reason to doubt Yang Chao's sincerity, because he planned to do so instead, and if he put forward such a condition, there was only one possibility, that is, he did not intend to comply, and planned to coax the Soviet troops to withdraw from Teschet and find a reason to continue the war.
However, Americans believe in Yang Chao's promise of this kind of mission, which is the trust between pet dogs, and the tolerance of eating meat and tolerating the gnawing bones of his companions.
But in the wild dog's worldview, if their companions eat more bites, they may starve to death, so they are ready to fight for their lives for a piece of meat, a bone, or even a piece of.
Therefore, when the agreement was signed in Washington, Stalin still ordered his troops to be ready for battle at any time, and he feared that Yang Chao would come at any time after he captured Teschet.
But to Stalin's surprise, Yang Chao not only did not call, but announced his disarmament.
The Tsar Knights announced that they would reduce the army to 3 army groups of 300,000 men and that they would reduce 700,000 troops. (To be continued.) )
