Berlin, Germany, Residence of the Intramuros.

"Where is our closest fleet to the Barents Sea? Immediately let them go and block the White Sea. Also, immediately develop a plan for the capture of Murmansk and Arkhangelsk by landing from the sea, I hope to capture them there by the end of September, and if necessary, destroy those two ports with nuclear bombs! ”

Before Goering had even left for China, the Chinese ambassador to Germany, Huang Yin, sent Hitler the news that Chang Ruiqing had agreed to send the Chinese Wehrmacht to take part in the battle for Moscow. Hitler's answer was also straightforward, and he immediately called Hoffmann, chief of the General Staff, Raeder, commander of the Navy, and Goering, commander of the Air Force, to the official residence of the royal city, and gave the order to blockade the White Sea and strategic Murmansk and Arkhangelsk in the presence of Huang Ying.

In fact, these two things are not very difficult for Germany, especially the blockade of the White Sea is a trivial matter at all. The Norwegian port of Narvik was home to British and German naval fleets, and in a few days the White Sea to the Barents Sea could be completely blocked. As for the capture of Murmansk and Arkhangelsk, it is not very difficult, after all, the strength of the British and German navies is obvious, so many battleships and battle cruisers, with naval artillery bombardment, these two ports can be flattened! The reason why Hitler did not move the Arctic Ocean route of the Soviet Union and Murmansk and Arkhangelsk before was actually to let the Russians transport troops and materials to Siberia and the Great China Federation to do the right thing!

Now, however, it was clearly more important to take Moscow, and after the conspiracy of the war of hunger had been cracked by Trotsky, Hitler had already decided to basically end the war against the Soviet Union before the winter of 1936 arrived.

After sending Huang Ying out of the office. Hitler left Hoffmann and Goering behind to discuss the arrangements for the attack on Moscow. Although the Chinese promised to provide 1 million troops, the total strength of the Sino-German coalition army on the Moscow front was only more than 3 million and less than 4 million, which was nearly 1 million less than the Soviet Red Army in the encirclement! Although at the level of armament. The Chinese and German armies had a great advantage, especially the Chinese and German air and army armored forces were at least 10 times stronger than their opponents. But this time the battlefield is not on the open plain, but around a huge city and a series of satellite cities. All the small towns were built into strong fortresses, integrated with the whole system of defense of Greater Moscow, and the armament of the Moscow defenders was actually not too bad, at least the number of artillery and machine guns was very sufficient, and the variety and number of anti-tank weapons were no less than that of the Chinese and German armies. Relying on a strong city defense, it does have the strength to fight.

"If we were to fight a tough battle, how many casualties would we pay? How much time does it take? Hitler asked, looking at Hoffmann and Goering.

Hoffman already had the answer in his mind. At this time, he replied without hesitation: "1 million, not more than 1.5 million, and it will take at least 3 months." ”

Goering was slightly stunned, although he knew that Moscow was not easy to fight. But I didn't expect this city to be such a hard nut to crack. Hitler's eyes were soon set on the fat man. Goering knew that the other side was still shooting nuclear bombs.

"Report!" Just as Goering was pondering how many nuclear bombs should be dropped on Moscow to solve the problem, Hitler's secretary, Martin Brown, came out the door. Hitler shouted impatiently, "Come in." ”

Martin. Bowman pushed the door in: "Mr. President, Prime Minister Chang Ruiqing telegraphs." ”

"Read." Hitler was a little curious, he didn't know what Chang Ruiqing wanted to say to him.

"Your Excellency President Hitler, the end of the Soviet Union is a fact that everyone in the world has recognized, including the Soviet officers and soldiers trapped in the Great Encirclement of Moscow. We already know that failure is inevitable, and I believe at this time. The Russians who were willing to die for the Bolsheviks and Trotsky were, after all, a very small minority, and they were only coerced to the point where they had to fight to the death, if we could give them a way out that would be a thousand times better than dying in battle. In my opinion, it is quite possible that the fortress of Moscow will be breached from the inside. Your friend Chang Ruiqing. ”

The corners of Hitler's mouth turned up slightly, and Chang Ruiqing's telegram obviously broadened his thinking, Germany has always been using brute force to destroy the behemoth of the Soviet Union, and now it is time to use a little wrist.

"Call Chang Ruiqing back and tell him that I have sent a fleet to blockade the White Sea, and that I feel that I will do my best to capture Murmansk and Arkhangelsk, and that, thanks to his advice, I am considering giving the Soviet Red Army generals in Moscow a better way out, and I hope that the Chinese side will adopt the same strategy."

After saying that, Hitler turned his head to look at Goering: "Herman, how many nuclear bombs are there in the Air Force now?" ”

"There are also twenty-four uranium bombs, and in addition, uranium-235 and plutonium-239 are now produced every month enough to assemble three nuclear bombs."

"Twenty-four nuclear bombs......" Hitler muttered, noncommittal, and then, as if to himself, "if we and Chinese tempted the commanders of the defenders of Moscow with the positions of two Black Russia and two Yellow Russia, and at the same time dropped a nuclear bomb every few days, would it be possible for those Bolsheviks to collapse from within?" ”

Goering and Hoffmann looked at each other, and the fat man replied: "Your Excellency, I think that the operation to capture Moscow must be multi-pronged, and that while the nuclear bombs are lured and dropped, the ground offensive and the conventional bombardment in the air should not stop. ”

Hoffman nodded: "I think we can repeatedly drop nuclear bombs in the area of central Moscow, for some unknown reason, the explosion of nuclear bombs will have a devastating effect on the communications and power equipment in the nearby area, if we can make the Soviet high command in the center of Moscow lose contact with the Red Army on the outskirts of Moscow, it may increase their panic and benefit the offensive of our ground forces." In addition, we can also consider the use of armor-piercing nuclear bombs to bomb the possible location of the Soviet high command. ”

"That's a good idea!" Hitler paced back and forth in the room with his back on his back. "If we can blow up Trotsky, maybe Moscow will immediately fall into our hands!" He suddenly stood still. Looking back at Goering and Hoffmann: "Do we know where Trotsky is now?" ”

……

Lubyanka Square No. 2, NKVD building of the USSR.

It is also a formidable prison, and bomb shelters have been dug more than 10 meters deep. Underground prisons were also built, and of course not just any prisoner was eligible to be imprisoned 10 meters underground, and in the highly hierarchical country of the Soviet Union, even prisoners in large prisons were not equal.

In a clean and tidy underground cell, Joseph. Stalin was sitting quietly on his bed. Contrary to speculation, this former member of the Soviet GCD Bureau, Trotsky's nemesis. Still living in this world! He has been living in Lubyanka 2 for 11 years, and moved to this underground cell last month. In addition, Stalin had some other privileges in his cell. For example, he could enjoy a relatively good diet, he did not have to engage in any production and labor, his cell was cleaned by other prisoners, and finally he was allowed to read and write in his cell...... It seems that Trotsky was much more tolerant in this regard than the historical Stalin.

In the first few years of living in Rubyanka 2. Stalin's favorite books were Marx, Engels, Lenin and Chang Ruiqing. Also wrote a special article. Criticism of Chang Ruiqing's Leftist Revisionism -- Believing that Leftist Revisionism is a surrender to capitalism, and the final result will inevitably be to turn China into a capitalist or even imperialist country! Judging by the current state of development, Stalin's analysis is quite correct. Today, however, Stalin had no interest in politics or economics, and books on Marxism or anything else had disappeared from his cell and been replaced by a worn-out Bible with a black cover.

Stalin glanced at the empty corridor outside the cell, picked up with both hands a cross made from two broken spoons, and placed it on his chest. Make a pious appearance and whisper, "In heaven we are the Father." We will let your name be revealed, and your kingdom come, and your will be done on the earth, as in heaven, and ask me to give us bread for our daily use, and forgive us our debts, and if I also be free from our debts......"

At this moment suddenly the sound of leather shoes ringing in the corridor outside the cell, and the clanging sound of the keys on the guard's body colliding with each other, Stalin finished reading a prayer, opened his slightly closed eyes, and saw an old man in a blue hat with gray hair, a slightly hunched back, and a white goatee without a trace of blood on his face.

He's Lev. Davidovich. Trotsky.

The door opened, and a grim-faced Trotsky entered, walked around the cell with his hands behind his back, and then waved his hand away, and sent the blue hat away from the door—he seemed not at all afraid that the devout Orthodox Christian Stalin would attack his former nemesis in the cell.

Stalin looked at Trotsky, who was already showing his senileness, and suddenly sighed: "Is the world revolution going to fail?" ”

Trotsky looked at him fixedly, and said lightly: "It is about to fail, the invading army of Chinese and the Germans has already reached the city of Moscow...... They also invented a terrible bomb capable of destroying a city lightly! Joseph. Vissarionovich, it seems that your theory of socialism in one country is right, and without this damned world revolution, we would not have failed! ”

Stalin laughed: "Lev. Comrade Davidovich, if we take the path of socialism in one country, we will still lose, but it is only the Soviet Union, not the Russian nation...... This is because the road of the world revolution is a contest between socialism and capitalism in terms of combat effectiveness, and the road of socialism in a country is a contest between socialism and capitalism in terms of productive forces. Do you think we can far surpass capitalism in terms of productivity? I think the answer has been given in the more than ten years of socialist construction before 1932. ”

Trotsky seemed to smile lightly: "You are right, in the race of productivity we did not win either...... China, which has taken the road of national socialism, has developed faster and better than ours, whether it is heavy industry, light industry, or agriculture, Chang Ruiqing has transformed his country from a backward agricultural country into an industrial power on a par with the Soviet Union in just over a decade, and at the same time, their agriculture is also sufficient to support industrial development. Although they received technical and financial assistance from advanced imperialist countries such as Britain, the United States, and Germany in the process of development, they also received hundreds of thousands of intellectuals and millions of skilled workers because of the Russian and Japanese revolutions. But what they have achieved proves that the capitalist mode of production, having absorbed some of the advantages of the socialist planned economy, will have productive forces no less than socialism! In agriculture and light industry, it is even more powerful than the traditional socialist system. In this respect, Bukharin was right. ”

Stalin shook his head: "Now there is no point in discussing who is right and who is wrong, we are all sinners, sinners of the state and nation, and soon we will go to the judgment of the Lord, I think we will all go to hell, Lenin will be waiting for us there, and Nicholas II will be above heaven." ”

Trotsky glanced at Stalin, a pious Orthodox Christian, and shook his head with a wry smile: "Joseph. Comrade Vissarionovich, it is I who is going to hell, and you can still live, because you have been a persecuted Maoist for the past ten years...... I think the Chinese need such a person to rule Yellow Russia! ”

"Huang ...... Russia? What is it? Stalin was stunned for a moment.

With a long sigh, Trotsky informed Stalin of the disposition of the Russian nation envisaged by China, Germany, Britain and the United States. After hearing this, Stalin wrung his eyebrows and looked at Trotsky: "Lev. Davidovich, what exactly do you want to do? Don't you give up? You already know that our route is wrong......"

Trotsky interrupted Stalin with a wave of his hand: "These are not important, the important thing is that someone must protect the two Yellow Russias!" The Germans have prepared two empresses for the two black Russians in Africa, and I think they will play a good role in guarding them, but the two yellow Russians who Chinese control zhì do not have masters...... Given the current situation, these two countries need strong leaders, and at the same time these two leaders need to have high prestige and be acceptable to the Chinese, I think you are one of the most suitable candidates, if you want, I can arrange for you to leave Moscow and go to the Chinese.
