Chapter 231: The Great Famine in Ukraine

"Assassination of Stalin?"

There seemed to be a thunderclap in Chuikov's ears.

"Damn traitor—"

Even in China, Chuikov cried out with righteous indignation. His expression was as angry as if someone had killed his own parents.

"Don't be so excited, right?" Qin Wei frowned and looked at the future Marshal of the Soviet Union in front of him, "Didn't you just want to kill Stalin?" What's the big deal? Stalin had many enemies, and there were more than one or two who wanted to kill him. One more Ryusikov is nothing. What's more, as you yourself said, as a traitor, it was completely justified for Lyussikov to kill Stalin...... He can't wait for Stalin to send someone to kill him, can he? This is called the first strike in China! ”

"General Qin, Comrade Stalin is the great leader of our Soviets, isn't it too much for you to talk like this?" Chuikov was angry. It is true that he was not as angry as he appeared, and the reason why it was because the matter involved Stalin's life. In this regard, even if he is abroad, even if there is no one else around, he still has to show his proper position...... He knew that this was an almost instinctive vigilance and fear brought to him by the "Great Purge", and he also knew that it was easy to be looked down upon, but the Great Purge killed 3 of the 5 marshals of the Soviet Union, with a mortality rate of 60%; 15 group army-level generals, all with the rank of general or general, killed 13, with a mortality rate of 87%; 85 lieutenant generals, 57, with a mortality rate of 67%; 110 of the 196 major generals and divisional generals died, with a mortality rate of 56%; 406 Brigadier Brigade Commanders died 220, with a mortality rate of 54%...... Can he not be afraid? He was able to survive such a brutal survival game precisely because he was careful and always showed loyalty and love for Stalin.

"I'm not Soviet, what's the excess?" Qin Wei leaned back in his chair. "General, what you should be thinking about now is how much aid you should take in exchange for this 'bear hunting plan' we got it!"

"What evidence do you have to prove the authenticity of the 'Bear Hunt'?" Bear? Comrade Stalin is not so huge, he is only a little more than 1.5 meters...... Chuikov secretly decompressed himself. He had to keep his mind clear. Because Stalin was involved, if it wasn't handled well, he would probably lose a lot of things.

"There is no evidence." Qin Wei shook his head, "But I just know the way." ”

"Without evidence, just a few words from you, you want us to come up with a large number of weapons to support you?" Cui Kefu sneered: "General Qin, you are too greedy! ”

"With each other, we can learn and progress together." Qin Wei smiled. "But now I just want to know if your country is willing to support us with weapons."

“…… You should at least provide some details of the information. Chuikov hesitated for a moment and said coldly.

"I can't." Qin Wei shook his head directly, "It's not that I don't want to say it, but I can't say it." Because I just need to provide a few details, even if it's just the names of the other people who worked with Ryusikov. It is possible to deduce the general outline of the 'Bear Hunt', or even the whole plan, from this...... I'm going to keep these things for weapons. ”

"The Soviet Union has always supported China's War of Resistance Against Japan! Is that how you treat your friends? Chuikov said angrily.

"China and the USSR were not friends. It's a matter of opinion. But I've always believed in that phrase very much: between nations. Only eternal interests, no eternal friendship! I think this sentence must be familiar to you, General Chuikov, right? Qin Wei sat still and asked with a smile.

"I have lived in China for many years, people like you, General Qin. It's the first time I've seen it. Chuikov took a deep breath, "But if you think that will make me agree to your request, then you are too naïve." Do you say it so casually that I will believe it? Comrade Stalin's defense was incomparably tighter. How could it be so easy for the traitors of Ryusikov to assassinate him? ”

"No matter how tight the line of defense is, there are holes. Moreover, it was a general who presided over the assassination mission, and this general was still in charge of such an organ as the 'NKVD' in the Far East...... Finding loopholes, and finding more along with them, is what this general does best. Qin Wei looked at Cui Kefu mockingly: "What's more...... General, you don't even care about the safety of your comrades Stalin, do you? ”

"You ......" who dares not to take Stalin's safety to heart? Looking at Qin Wei's fearless expression, Cui Kefu couldn't wait to smash it with a punch, smashing this guy's face full of peach blossoms. But he couldn't do it. This guy could not have been bold enough to make a joke about Stalin, that is, it is very likely that the traitors of Ryusikov really had a plan to assassinate Stalin. After obtaining this plan, the Chinese found that the plan had a great possibility of success. That's why there is this guy in front of him to "blackmail" himself...... That's right, it's blackmail! But the question is, when did the Soviet Union become the target of blackmail? And this guy who started is actually Chinese. It's a shame!

"General, someone like you should be well aware of the value of an important piece of information." Qin Wei spoke again, "Sometimes, this kind of intelligence may even affect the survival of a country...... Can you imagine that at this important juncture, the USSR suddenly lost the spectacle of Stalin? Everyone knows that the Germans are now sharpening their knives...... Of course, I know that you are in secret negotiations with Hitler, and you are even planning to attack Poland together, but if Stalin is in danger at this time, do you think Hitler will change his aim? ”

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

Chuikov's eardrums were "shaken" again. The Soviet-German negotiations were secret, and if it was in Europe, the British or the French would have some understanding of it and he would have accepted it, but now it is the Chinese who tell the secret. And that's not all, Qin Wei actually told him conclusively that the Soviet Union was planning to attack Poland with Germany...... This is something that even he doesn't know. But even if he didn't know what to do, he instinctively chose to believe that this was Stalin, or the Soviet style. Just like this time the USSR suddenly launched a war against Finland...... Order, truth, and justice are all false. The interests of the USSR are above all else!

"Then you just treat me as nonsense......" Qin Wei kept observing Cui Kefu's face. Now it seems that the effect is good, and the successive intelligence bombardments have "bombed" the future Soviet marshal somewhat unstable. Think about it, this is like one day in the future, China is secretly preparing to attack Vietnam, before the launch, Jin Sanpang sent someone to Beijing, saying that he has learned the news, what will the Chinese government be shocked about?

"General Qin." Chuikov took a deep breath and stood up, looking down at Qin Wei solemnly, "I hope you can figure out the current situation...... Actually, I only need to send back to Moscow the news that the traitors in Ryusikov are planning to assassinate Comrade Stalin, and Moscow will take strict precautions. Those people can't succeed. The reason why I asked you for the traitor's plan is just to save some trouble. And if you think that you can coerce the Soviet Union into continuing to provide a large amount of aid by keeping this plan in your hands, I can only say that you are wrong...... The Soviet Union would not accept the threat. Comrade Stalin will not accept the threat even more! ”

"I believe that." Qin Wei nodded. Stalin's temper was indeed hard. When Germany invaded the Soviet Union, the Soviet army was initially crushed, and a large number of Red Army soldiers were captured, including Stalin's son. But how did Stalin deal with this situation? He only said one word: we have no prisoners of war, only deserters and traitors to the Motherland! and refused to exchange German Field Marshal Paulus for his own son...... Extremely cold-blooded, and extremely tough! It is rumored that because of these words, Stalin's son Yakov flew into the power grid of the German prisoner of war camp; Yakov's wife, Stalin's daughter-in-law Yuria, was arrested and imprisoned for three years; Yakov's uncle was executed for betrayal...... Qin Wei believes that such a person who can be ruthless to his closest relatives will never be polite to himself. A few assassins wanted to bring Stalin into line, which was indeed a pipe dream.

"Do you still want the Soviet Union to continue to provide support?" Chuikov leaned down and asked condescendingly.

"Of course." Qin Wei pursed his lips, "'Bear Hunting Strategy', it's a trivial matter, how can this affect the traditional friendship between China and the Soviet Union...... 'Bear Hunting Strategy' was jointly formulated by the Japanese Army General Staff Headquarters Second Department of the Soviet Strategy Expert Yukio Spo Nakasa, the Japanese Military Attache in Germany Major General Okabe Kushiro, and the Kwantung Army Headquarters Intelligence Division Utagawa Tatsuya Nakasa. In addition to Ryusikov, there was another person who had served as the head of the NKVD of the Black Sea region of the Soviet Union. Samoilovy. Lyushkov, the rank before defection was colonel! …… Ah, this Lyushkov defected because he built a fountain on his own initiative when he was in charge of supervising the construction of the Matzesta Spa Recuperation Center for Comrade Stalin...... It's a gorgeous and arrogant kind. Unexpectedly, the sale was unsuccessful, and he was reprimanded by Stalin's guard captain, General Vlašik. It turned out that Stalin loved silence and did not like the rattling fountain. Although Lyushkov urged the workers to use two days to level out the huge fountain, there was still a 'political stain' on the file, and he was afraid that this 'stain' would turn into a time bomb that would inexplicably purge him one day, so he ......"

"You don't have to tell me this!" Chuikov was so angry that his mouth was almost crooked. What does it mean to build a special hot spring for Comrade Stalin? If it is not good, it has become a "political stain"? True, if it was in the USSR, it would have been an extremely serious mistake to disagree with Comrade Stalin, but this is not the USSR after all...... He felt that Qin Wei was scolding people around the corner.

"Didn't tell you? Don't you want to hear it? Qin Wei looked surprised: "That...... Do you want to tell you about Ryusikov's plan to uncover the truth about the 'Holodomor in Ukraine'? That guy was so bad that he actually said that the Soviet government deliberately starved 30 million Ukrainians to death......" (to be continued......
