Soviet Kremlin:

Stalin was summoning the chairman of the NKVD Beria in his office, and Stalin was holding two top-secret documents provided by Beria, whose face was full of seriousness, and the smoke from his pipe in his mouth was sneering, haunting Stalin's presence. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

The NKVD was the predecessor of the KGB, and their main task now was not to conduct intelligence from without, but to purge from within, in order to guarantee Stalin's absolute power.

Beria was one of the main executors of Stalin's purges and was promoted to military marshal by Stalin after the end of World War II. After World War II and until Stalin's death, he was the de facto number two man in the Soviet Union, but then he lost the struggle for Stalin's succession, was removed from office and executed.

Beria is really not a good person, brutally slaughtering his opponents and compatriots for power, even his superiority, gaining Stalin's trust is also achieved through despicable means, in 1933 Stalin was attacked on vacation, Beria who was present desperately covered Stalin with his body, and the assassin was beaten into a hornet's nest on the spot, some people said that this was designed by Beria, a good show of heroes saving the leader.

Stalin read Beria's documents with a grim face, pondered for a moment before saying to Beria:

"Comrade Beria, the information you provided is timely and accurate, your ability is outstanding, and you are infinitely loyal to the party, and you should be commended for your ability and loyalty."

"Report to Comrade Stalin, Beria will defend the Soviets to the death, defend the great leader Comrade Stalin, and all Stalin's ideas and decisions will be resolutely implemented to the end without reservation, and at the same time all traitors who dare to oppose the great leader Comrade Stalin will be executed."

"Well, there is no doubt about your loyalty to the party, I am very sure of that."

The dialogue between Stalin and Beria has made it clear that Stalin regarded himself as a party, and loyalty to Stalin personally was loyalty to the Soviets, and the cult of personality reached such a point.

It can be said that Stalin's policy of purges allowed Stalin to gain supreme absolute power in the Soviet Union, Stalin's words are orders are laws, and Stalin's words can send thousands of Soviets to labor camps and execution grounds, and they can be carried out without trial, and it is strange that such a regime is not beaten into a piece of by Germany.

"Well, Comrade Beria, Germany wants to threaten Romania and get all their share of oil of 3 million tons, and if Germany gets this source of oil, it will be a great increase in Germany's war potential.

In addition, Germany may get rid of its dependence on our oil, and we will lose our strategic control over Germany, which is very dangerous, so I order you to keep a close eye on the arms for oil plans between Germany and Romania, and if necessary, implement the sabotage plan, so that the Germans' plans will fail as much as possible. ”

"Yes, Comrade Stalin, Beria will resolutely carry out your wise decision to disrupt the German arms for oil program as much as possible......"

In fact, this is a double play by Rommel and Romania, millions of German troops have been mobilized in Poland, there must be an excuse for the Soviet Union to let down its guard!

Rommel secretly joined forces with Germany to join Romania, and Germany proposed to Romania a plan to exchange oil for arms, and the amount was very large, but Romania did not agree to Germany's demand, and in order to force Romania to submit, Germany gathered heavy troops in Poland to deter Romania.

Doesn't Germany still have a spy James? Bond? Rommel asked Canaris to deliberately leak this information to 007, and Britain soon received 007's report, and then the Soviets also knew about it.

Another important intention of Rommel in forging this false strategic plan for arms for oil was to create the false impression that Germany was permanently short of oil and to make these three countries make a very wrong judgment of Germany's war potential.

As early as Africa, Rommel was secretly drilling for oil in North Africa, and the people and equipment needed for drilling were very sufficient, and more than a dozen high-yield oil wells had been drilled so far.

And Germany did not stop the pace of penetration, hundreds of drilling rigs were working day and night, and in half a year, Germany and the occupied European countries would have no oil crisis.

From now on, Germany's industrial production will be fully open, Germany's war machine will be at full speed, and Germany's steel torrent will run unbounded......

Oil is the source of industry, oil is the engine of war, and Germany will say goodbye to the crisis that has plagued Germany for decades.

One of Rommel's goals was achieved, Britain, the United States, and the Soviet Union all knew about Rommel's arms-for-oil plan, and the analysis of Britain, the United States, and the Soviet Union was exactly the same, and Germany's war potential continued to be trapped in oil.

The Soviet Ministry of the Interior also began to act, and their goal, like that of Britain and France, was to try to prevent and sabotage the German "arms for Romanian oil program".

Germany has long drawn up a plan to conduct simultaneous exercises in both directions on the Romanian border, and to demonstrate to Romania nakedly, the meaning is obvious, if you do not agree with my arms-for-oil plan, my exercises may turn into attacks.

Germany's move is extremely real, and as for whether Rommel's fake arms-for-oil plan can succeed in staying in Britain, the United States, and the Soviet Union for the expiration of the term, it will be up to the wise.

The Kremlin's war conference room was also a gathering of generals at this time, and more than a dozen famous generals such as Zhukov, Chuikov, Petrov, etc., were all summoned by Stalin to study countermeasures.

Those who opposed Stalin or made Stalin feel a little disloyal were all purged, and Stalin was able to choose a few of the remaining people who could fight, and there was still some discernment.

The first to express his opinion, of course, was Stalin:

"Comrades, Germany has begun to implement a very urgent strategic plan, which is now in your hands, and this plan is basically to exchange the seized weapons for Romanian oil, and Romania's total oil production has reached 8.7 million tons, and the Romanian government has 4.35 million tons at its disposal, and Germany has demanded that Romania export oil to Germany no less than three million tons a year.

If Germany is allowed to obtain Romanian oil, Germany will completely get rid of our control over their oil, which is very dangerous for the Soviet Union, so we must find a way to sabotage Germany's arms and oil deal with Romania, and Romania's idea is that if it is strong on that side, it will go to that side, and now you will talk about your views. ”

Zhukov was the first to stand up and speak, not because Zhukov thought he was deeply trusted by Stalin, but because Zhukov had such a temperament and was finally dismissed by Khrushchev because of his character.

"Comrade Stalin, I think that we support Romania at this time, otherwise Romania will soon be driven into the arms of Germany, which is completely contrary to our current strategy.

[Brothers, smash whatever you have in your hands, the fallen leaves need fire support. Plus, the Barbarossa program is about to begin, and this is just a prelude. (To be continued.) )
