――――――――――――

If we say that the fundamental motive for Starin to wage war is, firstly, profit, secondly, security, for the interests of the Tyumen oil fields and other mineral resources, for the sake of the security of the rear, and to create a stable environment for construction.

Then there are two direct reasons for Stalin's request for the generals to end the war as soon as possible, one is to eliminate the tsarist regime as soon as possible and create a fait accompli before China intervenes, just as Austria-Hungary wanted to eliminate Serbia before Russia intervenes in the war in World War I, creating a fait accompli. The second is its own internal factors, if the war continues to be fought for a long time, will national construction still be carried out? Is the industrial plan still in place?

For Stalin, what is the core interest, not the number of territories, not the size of the interests, not even the dignity of the country, personal face, for him is power, unique power, the power to export into the constitution, except for the monopoly of power, all other interests are empty to Stalin.

But why does he have power, why does he crave power, this seems to be a false proposition, it is that men seem to desire power, but everyone's motivation for wanting power is different.

A penniless minor, his imagination of power may be "Do you want Lao Tzu to eat restaurants in the city, and do you need money to eat a few rotten watermelons?" The imagination of a short and poor woman who can't marry a beautiful daughter-in-law may be "the street is full of beautiful women, and if you want to pull home and roll the sheets", a person who is thin and often bullied by his peers may be "Lao Tzu asked the police to arrest you, and if he wants to lock you up for a few days, he will lock you up for a few days".

Middle-class people who have no worries about food and clothing may hold the "big gate, promote my name", want to light the lintel, and want to make a name for themselves. Those who have a sense of justice are "fair, just, and free", those who pity the suffering of the world are "tens of thousands of mansions, and the poor people in the world are happy", and those with serious national complexes are "rejuvenating the king and trying to dominate, and when to wait".

Stalin's obviously can't be a meal without paying. The animalistic nature of a woman casually plays at the stage of swaying thoughts, but she does not pursue the idealistic complex of "fairness, justice, and freedom", he has a personal concept of good and evil, and after coming to power, he will take revenge on those who bullied him before; A bit of a middle-class idea of a glorious lintel. When he came to power, he went home to see his mother, who asked him what he did, and he told her that his position was roughly equivalent to that of the Tsar of the past, and that he was obviously still very proud of his power; Starling wasn't a mercy either. He does not think about the happiness of the whole people.

Stalin's pattern of behavior was very close to that of a nationalist, but he was a Georgian, so he did not have a Great Russian chauvinist complex, but was combined with the workers' cognition, and accepted the Martian doctrine that the workers were the representatives of the advanced strata and would replace all other strata in the future, and he considered himself to be the representative of the workers.

So he is a kind of nationalist who replaces the concept of nationality with workers.

So Stalin, seize power, keep power. The fundamental motive for the use of power is actually the nationalist Wang Tu hegemony, his first choice is to strengthen the country, the second choice is to seek hegemony, but he thinks that he represents the workers, so he wants to liberate the workers of the whole world and make the whole world a country where the workers are the masters.

Of course, that was only the ambition of the early Stalin, the old Stalin, who had not yet faded the idealist complex, and after a fierce political struggle, Stalin's ideals had begun to loosen, and he found that politics was not what he understood. So he has metamorphosed into the embodiment of a royal state.

The state is itself, and it is the country, and Stalin's thoughts are unconsciously assimilated with the will of the state, so what does the country want. It's what he wants. What the will of the country wants, as the ancient Chinese saying goes, the rise and fall of the world, the division of a long time must be united, a long time must be divided, the state is a symbol of power. It is power that is going to move towards centralization, big power to swallow up small power, strong power to swallow weak power, and finally to unity.

Therefore, whether it is the great discipline of liberating all mankind, or the national will to devour everything, it has forged the current Stalin, who is powerful, ruthless, and unscrupulous.

But unscrupulous means, there is always a means that cannot be separated from it, and the means chosen by Stahlin are industrialization, heavy industrialization, with the aim of increasing the country's military strength as soon as possible in a short period of time.

So he came up with the Staling model, he came up with a five-year plan, but now the untimely outbreak of war has affected his industrial plans.

If it were a few months, it would not have allowed the industrial plan to be postponed, but if it had been a few years, it would have been impossible for Stalin's to accept it, and now the development of the war showed that it was not so easy to swallow the tsarist regime in one gulp, because the tsar had a big capitalist Yang Chao who he hated from the bottom of his heart.

But he admits that in this era, the power of the capitalists is indeed greater than that of the proletariat, and he understands very well that it is not easy to eliminate such capitalists.

Realizing this, Starling felt that he had to choose between dignity and reality.

Whether to abandon the war and speed up industrial development, or to respect and influence industrial development, this is not a choice in Stalin's mind, but the problem is that ending the war now, without achieving anything, is a major blow to his rule, and will make his opponents attack him. (If there are opponents, of course, in Stalin's mind, there will always be opponents.) ā€

So the Chinese mediator Stalin was willing to accept it, but the problem was that there had to be a good step for him to come down, and this step had to be able to satisfy not to let his majesty be affected, and not to let his opponents seize the handle.

Large territories, apparently, are able to satisfy the mood of such a nation in Russia.

So Stalin proposed that the tsarist regime cede the territory and divide the territory along the line of actual control between the two sides.

As for the indemnity, it is not necessary, the indemnity is nothing but money, and the money can be obtained by selling resources and squeezing the peasants.

Stalin's reply to the mediation note submitted by China expressed his attitude, but it presented Yang Chao with a problem.

This is unacceptable to Yang Chao, who, like Starlin, also faces trade-offs.

The purpose of this war can be said to have been achieved, to give Soviet Russia the opportunity to invade Siberia, the first purpose is to strike at the Russian nation here in Siberia, or the nationalist sentiment that lives in the hearts of Russians; The second aim was to further deepen the control of the tsarist regime.

The two goals were achieved, but the territory was gone, and without the territory, the value of the tsarist regime was greatly reduced.

Yang Chao's support for the tsarist government is to find a buffer between Soviet Russia and China, and there is no territory left, and it is better to annex it directly.

So Yang Chao refused, in name, there was no territory, how to give the knights from all over the world who came to be loyal to the Tsar! (To be continued.) )
