ps: The second uncle has passed away! I was in a hurry to get back to my hometown after receiving a call at noon yesterday, so I forgot to send a notice to tell everyone, I'm very sorry. I'm on my way back to Shanghai now, so I'm in a hurry with this chapter, so please understand.

It will be updated as normal from tomorrow.

Snow-clad Moscow has attracted the coldest assembly of the year, and the only color in the entire city from the study window is the red spire of the Kremlin. Looking at the blood-stained spire, Qin Jian silently wiped the Mauser pistol that he had treasured for many years, and the bottom of his heart was like magma, as if something was surging outward.

This is the second Spring Festival he has spent in Moscow, and every time he comes to this moment, he misses the motherland, his family who has not heard from him, and his comrades-in-arms who have gone to the national disaster for their ideals. Although he knew that there were many, many comrades-in-arms like him under this ice and snow, he could not contact or see him. This kind of loneliness is unimaginable to ordinary people, and many times it almost makes him lost, and if it weren't for the occasional message from the connector he had never met, he even wondered if he had been forgotten.

Fortunately, such days have come to an end, and the activation code that he has been waiting for for more than twenty years has finally appeared, and at the same time, he has also received the first and last active mission in his hidden career.

Create contradictions against Kuibyshev and bring them to Afghanistan!

After stuffing the polished copper bullets into the magazine, Qin Jian reopened the thick investigation documents. These documents are some of the inside stories of fraud and favoritism in the procurement process that Kuibyshev led a delegation to the United States in those years. Of course, this will not bring down Kuibyshev, let alone make him make the choice of defection, after all, he is one of the few staunch supporters of Stalin. So we have to wait for an opportunity, we have to wait for another signal of action to appear. "Ivan, Marne is here." Just as Qin Jian was carefully analyzing the person Kuibyshev, there was a sudden knock on the door outside the study. As the door opened, Mariana and a balding man walked in. The man saluted as soon as he entered the room, then placed a few enlarged photos on his desk.

"Director, this is a comrade from Mexico." Ma En interrupted Qin Jian's thoughts. The assistant officer of the Security Bureau looked excited: "They found out about this, China and Trotsky are colluding. ”

"Oh?" Qin Jian pretended to be surprised and took a photo. The photo shows Bingwen meeting Trotsky, and it is clear that from the two shaking hands to finally Trotsky holding a paper bag and pulling out a thick stack of dollars. Seeing the photo, a trace of excitement quickly slipped through the corners of Qin Jian's mouth. This was the signal of action he had been waiting for for a long time. But on the surface, he pretended to be very solemn, and his words were cold: "Who sent this?" Can you be sure it's real? ”

"Yes, it has been confirmed! You, here are also news and photos of Chinese naval officers visiting Mexico City. From the time and clothing, there is no trace of fraud at all. "Marne is excited. After Trotsky's expulsion, the struggle against Trotskyists in the country has been fierce, and the Security Bureau is worried that there is no excuse to clean them up.

Qin Jian stood up solemnly. Pretending to be very angry, he slapped the table fiercely: "Traitor! These traitors! Actually went to the Chinese. Marne, go drive at once, I'm going to see Comrade General Secretary. ”

"Yes, Director." Marne nodded and left quickly. Mariana, who came in with him, saw Qin Jian get up and immediately brought her coat to put it on for him.

Mariana, Qin Jian's wife, an Estonian national, came to Moscow ten years ago to pursue her revolutionary dreams and was selected by the Security Bureau. Originally, she was going to cultivate as a "swallow", but because of the need to hide her identity, Qin Jian used her power to transfer her to her side. After a few years of getting along, they finally got married and came together, and they gave birth to a lovely daughter.

Her actions and advice made Qin Jian feel a little uncomfortable in his heart, because what he was most worried about now was what would happen to the mother and daughter after he left, so he took the opportunity to put on his coat and suddenly asked, "Anna." How long has it been since you went back? I heard that your parents are not in good health, and I am afraid that I will be very busy during this time, so it is better for you to take your children back to them. ”

"Really? But. Mariana was surprised that her husband would suddenly care about her parents. Although she wanted to return to Estonia for a long time, relations between the USSR and Estonia were very bad. She was afraid that going back without permission would cause trouble for her husband, so she never dared to speak.

"It's fine. I'll find a way to get an exit certificate for you. Qin Jian didn't want to say more, and didn't even dare to look at his wife's eyes, so he hurriedly got into the car after dropping a sentence.

In the Kremlin, Stalin and Motolov were discussing the establishment of diplomatic relations with the United States. Soon after Roosevelt came to power, he proposed to establish diplomatic relations with the Soviet Union, which made everyone in Moscow happy. If the United States recognized the Soviet Union, it would inevitably tear a gap in the Western world, and officially become a major world power, just like China's "Shanghai Communiqué".

So Stalin paid special attention to this matter, but the two were only halfway through their discussion when they were interrupted by a knock on the door.

"Report to the general secretary, I have important things to report to you." Qin Jian saluted very solemnly, but his gaze quietly fell on Motolov. I thought to myself that if it weren't for the fact that this man had an unusual relationship with Stalin, the effect of turning him against him might be better than that of Kuibyshev.

"Comrade Ivan, what is the matter so anxious?" Before Stalin could speak, Motorov took the lead in asking, and quietly put away the documents on the establishment of diplomatic relations, obviously guarding against being caught by Qin Jian.

Qin Jian didn't care about what the two were discussing, because there was nothing more important than the matter in front of him. As long as he thinks that he can return to China after completing the mission, there is nothing to bind him who has been lurking for 2 years. So he immediately took out a photo from his briefcase and put it on his desk: "General Secretary, this is a photo taken by a comrade on a mission in Mexico. The Chinese naval officer corps appeared in Mexico City, and they went to meet Trotsky. One of the officers was also a confidant of the Chinese president. ”

Before he finished speaking, Stalin's face changed abruptly, and without saying a word, he picked up the photo and took it into detail. When he saw Trotsky holding the document bag in his left hand and a thick stack of dollars from it with his right hand, his eyes were even more solemn. But to Qin Jian's surprise, he didn't get angry on the spot, but picked up a pinch of tobacco from the small box and stuffed it into his pipe, lit it and inhaled it vigorously without making a sound.

Could it be that the miscalculation will Stalin swallow this breath? The strange reaction made Qin Jian's heart skip a beat, but he quickly calmed down, because he found that Stalin was smoking quickly, and he was obviously very angry after taking one puff. Motolov next to him also showed this. said: "General Secretary, this matter should be taken very seriously!" China and the United States have just conducted exercises in Irkutsk, and now China is trying to win over traitors in our party, and it must be a deliberate attempt to divide and bring down our party comrades. This is a big conspiracy against our country! It is precisely because we are in the critical period of the second five-year plan and want to create an incident to disrupt the negotiations on the establishment of diplomatic relations between Japan and other countries. ”

Qin Jian heard this. I almost wanted to hug Motorov and kiss them. Even Stalin's brows furrowed. Although he was angry, he had not lost his mind, and now was indeed the most important moment in the industrial construction and development of the country in the USSR, although the first five-year plan was half a year late. However, it has gradually transformed the country into an industrial country, and as long as the second five-year plan is completed, it will be able to have industrial capacity comparable to that of Europe and the United States.

But Stalin couldn't bear it, and if there was anyone in the world who kept him awake, Trotsky would definitely be at the forefront. He knows best how powerful this man's methods are. What made him even more uneasy was that Trotsky's influence in the army had not been completely eliminated, and many generals were his supporters, which was the main reason why he did not dare to kill him and only dared to expel him from the country.

Bukharin and others in the party had long been dissatisfied with the policy of agricultural collectivization and had repeatedly united against themselves at Politburo meetings. What if Trotsky really colludes with China, and the two end up uniting? Both Siberia and Kazakhstan are open areas, and if they develop in these places, the situation is very bad.

Stalin was silent. But in my heart, I analyzed the gains and losses. Seeing that he didn't speak, Motolov thought for a while and continued: "General Secretary, this matter must be investigated. From the size and thickness of the paper bag, at least hundreds of thousands of dollars! We must not allow reactionaries at home and abroad to get involved and use the money to do things that harm the party. ”

"Comrade Motolov. So what do you think should be done against these rampant reactionaries at home and abroad? How can we keep them from colluding with China? Stalin's voice was calm and could not hear joy or anger, but Motolov had already figured out his thoughts, glanced at Qin Jian and said, "General Secretary." I think that it is necessary to use all hands to prevent Yang Qiu and Trotsky from meeting and then to publish this photograph. Let the whole country know the face of these reactionaries in colluding with imperialism, and then mobilize the mass forces to pull out these and eliminate them one by one! ”

Publish your photos? It's a good idea. Stalin stumbled his pipe. After pouring the ashes clean, he lit them again, and smoked two bags of cigarettes in just a few minutes, which also made Qin Jian sense his anger from another angle.

After smoking two bags of cigarettes, Stalin's face finally softened a lot, and he turned his head to Qin Jian: "Comrade Ivan, what about your law?" ”

Qin Jian had been waiting for an opportunity to speak for a long time, so he immediately took a deep breath: "General Secretary, I think what Chief Motorov said is very reasonable. In order to ensure the breaking of the imperialist blockade and strangulation, it is necessary to eradicate these domestic tumors first! All the reactionaries should be arrested, and it is better to kill a thousand by mistake than to spare one! And I think that Bukharin and Kuibyshev have a major suspicion, they. ”

"Nonsense! How can a member of the Politburo investigate casually? They are all the most loyal party members! Stalin slapped the table hard and interrupted with a fierce gaze. This cold look frightened Qin Jian and hurriedly lowered his head, but there was a burst of ecstasy in his heart. He knew the person in front of him best, and the more fierce he was, the more he was poked in his heart.

Motolov also knew Stalin's thoughts, and advised: "Don't be angry, General Secretary, Director Ivan is also fighting reactionaries, although his work is not done well, but there is a certain reason." ”

There was a sudden silence in the office, and Stalin sat in his chair with a sparkling gaze that made it impossible to think about it. After a long time, he picked up the photo and threw it in front of him: "Go and publish these, so that the whole country can know the face of the reactionaries!" Your job is to get the enemies out of our party as quickly as possible! Do it boldly, and I will let Comrade Beria cooperate with you. ”

"Beria?!"

When Qin Jian heard this name, his heart sank, and he nodded and walked out.
