130 The Mountain Rain is Coming (Part II)
Learvin stared apprehensively out the window at the streets of Moscow, where the bustling crowd did nothing to alleviate her depression. It's been a few days since she arrived in Moscow, but her work hasn't progressed at all, no, it's a pile of bad news.
At Li Xiaofeng's place, she directly ate the closed-door soup, and for the first time, someone didn't even want to see her. This made Learwin feel very bad, someone had never been so nervous before, and didn't that mean that someone's shape was very unfavorable?
If it was just to be deflated by Li Xiaofeng, it was nothing, and more importantly, on September 1, Germany suddenly declared war on West Poland, and Germany's iron hooves instantly crushed the last line of defense for peace that Britain had worked so hard to build since World War I, and it was inevitable that a world war would break out again, no! has become a reality.
Learvine knew very well that the British Empire at this time was not prepared for war at all, and that they had only slowly begun to make moves since 1938, and that they could not keep up with the pace of the Germans.
However, these were not Liervin's main concerns, because according to the consensus reached at the Warsaw Conference, it was incumbent upon both Britain and France to protect the peace of Western Poland. But now that it's September 2nd, why is it that the Chamberlain cabinet still hasn't declared war on Germany?
In Lierwin's view, there was only one possibility for such a delay, and that was that the Chamberlain government was not ready to defend Western Poland by force, and was still a fluke with the war. And this kind of luck psychology is the most important, which is likely to cause an unprecedented fiasco!
"Ma'am, domestic forwarding your urgent telegram."
After taking the telegram and looking at it, Li Erwen's face suddenly changed greatly. It's not that there is bad news on telegram again. Except that West Poland was beaten to the ground by the German army. There is no other bad news. This telegram was forwarded to her by M. There was only one central piece of news - the government was still not ready to declare war on Germany, the prime minister wanted German troops to withdraw from western Poland within two days, and Britain would assist Germany in negotiating a settlement of the dispute.
Learwin pursed his lips and said in his heart, "What kind of bullshit is this?" Could it be that the British Empire, after preparing to sell Austria and Czechoslovakia, once again betrayed its allies in West Poland? If this continues, what will happen when the Germans use their knives against the Netherlands, Denmark, and Belgium? Do you want to sell it next? ”
In fact, M, who forwarded the telegram, was also very dissatisfied with the table of Chamberlain's cabinet at the end of this telegram, when the British Empire became a sissy. was forced into such a field by a mere Germany?
Even M hinted at Lilvin in a telegram, asking her to ignore the weak Foreign Ministry and open up the situation in the USSR with drastic measures, preferably for the USSR to abandon the Non-Aggression Pact. In order to strengthen Learvin's confidence, M even said: "The fall of the Chamberlain cabinet is only a matter of time......"
Learvin put away the telegram, the only thing that made her more comfortable was M's attitude, the old monster was really still an old monster, and he could hold the helm at a critical moment. To be honest, Learwin himself wants to let go of his hands and feet.
After thinking for a moment, Learvine commanded, "Contact Andre again. Petrovich. Sue him, I have urgent matters to consult with him. It's about the USSR and its future! ”
The Sverdlov clique, which Lierwin felt was in a bad situation, would not refuse the goodwill of the British Empire, and would accept it if someone had a little bit of political wisdom. However, what Li Erwen did not expect was that her olive branch was ruthlessly thrown out again, Li Xiaofeng still refused to meet with her, and even arrested the intermediary who passed the message on the charge of espionage.
What's going on?
Learvine wondered why someone rejected the goodwill of the British Empire, knowing that he could not stand up to Stalin head-on.
After a little thought, Learwin thought he had guessed someone's true intentions: "What a plan to kill someone with a knife!" ”
Yes, the only way that Learvin could come up with at this time to break the Non-Aggression Pact was to assassinate Stalin, and Stalin would not be a problem, just as Stalin had solved Trotsky.
However, how to solve Stalin is particular, and the worst way is to have MI6 do it himself, and the best way is to fool KGB to do it or fool KGB to do it with MI6. Obviously, Learvin had leaned towards the best model, and if Li Xiaofeng agreed, the British Empire could breathe a sigh of relief, and also grabbed someone's pigtails. However, Li Xiaofeng directly told Li Erwen in the most decisive way: You are daydreaming!
Li Xiaofeng's refusal left Li Erwen with only one way to go, and that was to have to do it himself by MI6. This model is extremely risky and has a low success rate, but there is no other way for Learwin to do so.
Stalin was returning to the Kremlin after attending a symposium, which he was generally not interested in. But this time it was different, tomorrow the Central Committee will have a final vote, and he is already in control. In a good mood, he decided to show up more, so that the little shrimp below could be familiar with him as a big chief.
The Volga car was not moving fast, but moving forward in an unhurried pace, full of grace and luxury, so that everyone on both sides of the street knew that the identity of this person was quite impressive, even if they could not see who was sitting in the car.
Stalin was very fond of this tone, he liked to be greeted by passers-by on the roadside, and he liked to be looked up to and worshipped, which made him feel unprecedented satisfaction. Unfortunately, for the time being, this feeling can only be found in passers-by and ordinary party cadres, and he prefers the demeanor of members of the Central Committee and even members of the Politburo.
"Maybe tomorrow?" Stalin thought with joy.
At this moment, his convoy slowly stopped, much to the dissatisfaction of Steel: "Why stop?" ”
"The comrades of the Central Guard Regiment said that there was a traffic accident ahead, the road was blocked, and it is being actively resolved."
Stalin nodded, then slowly closed his eyes, he needed to think carefully about how to kill all sides at tomorrow's plenary session of the Central Committee. And just as his eyes were closed. There was a faint sound of gunfire in my ears!
"Where's the gun?!"
Meanwhile. Learwin quickly gave the order: "Suppress them with machine guns, charge!" Fast! Be sure to get rid of Stalin! ”
Four or five cars were lying crooked in the street, one of which had exploded and caught fire, and was burning. Around the vehicle lay several men, two of whom were motionless and presumably dead, and the other several were desperately shooting in the direction of Lierwin with pistols and submachine guns.
"Suppress the opponent's machine guns and cover the retreat of the chief. Fast! ”
In the black Volga sedan in the middle, a man in military uniform slowly retreated to the houses on the side of the road under the cover of the soldiers of the three Central Guard Regiments, and bullets kept flying past them, and the screams of being shot could be heard from time to time.
In just two or three minutes, there were few fighters left of the Central Guard, but they managed to cover the chief's withdrawal from the uncovered street, and in a roadside shop, they struggled to deal with the MI6 Assassins with the help of counters and walls.
"Reinforcements will be there in five minutes!" A small soldier holding an SCR-300C radio shouted loudly.
"Damn it!"
Another veteran warrior of about forty years old cursed, the enemy's fire was too strong. The fire of two light machine guns and a dozen submachine guns could almost sweep them away. When did such rampant counter-revolutionaries appear in Moscow, what did the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the KGB do.
The veteran soldier didn't know if his side would be able to hold out for five minutes. There was no guarantee that reinforcements would arrive within five minutes. Because judging from the current situation, this is a well-planned political murder, and the target is their old chief.
"Comrades, we must hold on, our reinforcements will arrive soon, and we must not let the enemy's conspiracy succeed!"
On the other hand, Learwin frowned, for this operation, she transferred the best men of MI6's Russian station, hoping to win with one blow. Who would have thought that the Russians did such a good job of defense, that vodka turned out to be not an ordinary vodka, but a bulletproof model, which led the sniper to fail to solve the problem with one shot, and the director had to give the order to attack. The only luck was that the vodka's tires and wheels weren't bulletproof, which left the target in place.
Learwin ordered: "Reorganize the formation and prepare for a strong attack." Let the other teams around us buy us more time! ”
This is the only way that Liervin can come up with, and if he succeeds in getting rid of Stalin this time, it will be worth it to get into the entire Soviet station. According to her estimates, there was no way that there were four or five people in the store stopping her.
Under Learwin's orders, MI6's professional killers began to surround the store, and after a round of fire, the Assassin at the head shouted, "Grenade ready!" ”
In an instant, four or five Assassins pulled out the safety of the grenade and aimed it at the window of the shop to prepare to throw. If they succeeded, none of the people in the store would survive, and just as the veterans of the Central Guard Regiment were in a hurry to order the soldiers to find cover, a fierce whistling erupted from the direction of the sky.
In less than two seconds, the machine-gun bullets that fell like hail interrupted the preparations of the MI6 assassins to drop their bombs, and several tongues of fire swept over them like a hurricane, instantly turning the half-raised killers into blood gourds rolling on the ground.
Gunship!
Learwin's eyelids jumped, and she realized that she had undercalculated this end, blocking the traffic could only stop the police, the internal guards, and the Red Army from arriving on the ground, but not the helicopters flying in the air.
Worst!
Just as Learwin was still thinking about whether to continue the attack again, or to retreat quickly, two more helicopters appeared in her eyes. The two transport helicopters instantly dropped a large number of heavily armed soldiers on the rooftops on both sides of the street, and they easily suppressed the MI6 assassins by seizing the high ground.
"Damn it!" Knowing that this operation had failed, Learvin immediately ordered categorically: "Retreat!" Retreat now! ”
Soon, the MI6 Assassins began to run away, but not all of them were able to escape, and more and more helicopters arrived at the scene to participate in the search, and under the guidance of the helicopters, most of the Assassins were either killed or captured alive. Very few can escape.
Learwin did not retreat in a panic. She is good at makeup, and she easily changes her face. Mixed with the innocent crowd, she easily broke out of the encirclement. But when she returned to the safe house, she fell directly into Li Xiaofeng's hands.
"Beauty, I've been waiting for you for a long time!"
Facing a certain immortal with a smile on her face, Li Erwen was so angry that her teeth itched, but she was more concerned about someone's intentions: "Are you here to kill people?" ”
Li Xiaofeng asked rhetorically: "Why should I kill people and kill people?" ”
"The assassination of Stalin is not a trivial matter, and you are not afraid that after I am arrested, I will say that you instigated it?" Learvin said with a sneer.
"Of course not!" Li Xiaofeng replied indifferently.
"Why?"
"Because it wasn't Stalin that you assassinated!" Li Xiaofeng replied with a grin.
This answer made Learvin's pupils shrink instantly. She asked in a loud voice, "What did you say?!" ”
Li Xiaofeng still replied with a smile: "I said that the target of your assassination today is not Stalin at all!" ”
"How is this possible?" Li Xiaofeng screamed in disbelief, "My person has been determined......"
"You mean the two moles you planted next to the Central Guard Regiment and Stalin?" Li Xiaofeng said with a smile: "It's a pity that they were misled by me, and the information you gave was fake!" ”
"Misled by you?!" Learvine exclaimed, "Why are you doing this! ”
Li Xiaofeng shrugged his shoulders and said nonchalantly: "Actually, you should ask who you assassinated today!" ”
Learwin's cheeks twitched, and he asked for a while, "Who is it?" ”
"Frunze!"
Frunze is also a veteran who came out of the sea of swords and fires, and it is not the first time that he has encountered a dangerous scene. But this time it made a big impression on him, when the front windshield cracked violently. He really thought that he was lucky enough this time. Especially when he found out that the Assassins had used two machine guns to strafe him, he couldn't help but start to smile bitterly - the people who wanted to kill him had paid for it.
Until he entered the store under the cover of the guards. He exhaled slightly, but his heart tightened as soon as the enemy prepared to throw the grenade. When he boarded the helicopter and left the scene of the incident and returned to his office at the Military Commission, Frunze was completely relaxed, recalling the previous scene, feeling glad and angry.
Who orchestrated this murder against him! And who wants his life!
The only person Frunze could think of was Stalin, and at the time of the plenum of the Central Committee, before Stalin's victory, there were only a handful of people who could pose a threat to Stalin, and his name was definitely at the top of the list.
But Frunze had nothing to do with Stalin, because there was no evidence to prove it for the time being. Just when Frunze was a little depressed, the red telephone on the table suddenly rang.
"Comrade Lenin, I'm Frunze. What's new in Moscow? Uh, I was attacked by the Assassins...... No, it is not clear for the time being where the assassins came from, the NKVD and the KGB are pursuing them...... Okay, I immediately called a meeting of the main commanders of the Moscow Military District to make sure that the army would not be in chaos! ”
On the other end of the telephone line, Lenin's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and no one inside or outside the party knew that Frunze was his spokesman, and to use a knife against Frunze was equivalent to to using a knife against him. Who has this bear-hearted leopard gall?
Like Frunze, Lenin's first suspicion was Stalin, and of course, the mentor also knew that he could not draw conclusions lightly, maybe someone was trying to frame Stalin? At this time, I am afraid that Sverdlov also wants to muddy the waters.
After thinking for a moment, Lenin knew that at this time he could no longer sit and wait, and immediately ordered his special train to speed up to Tula, which was still closer to Moscow to react.
When Lenin's train rumbled towards Tula, Stalin had just returned to the Kremlin, and on the way he had already learned of Frunze's assassination, and he was surprised by the situation. He is also guessing who is behind the scenes.
"It's supposed to be Sverdlov, he's trying to muddy the waters!" Zhdanov analyzed.
Stalin basically agreed, but again, he had no evidence, "What should we do?" Do you want to give Andrey. Petrovich to put pressure? ”
This idea seemed to Zhdanov and Mikoyan to be basically useless, and now that Li Xiaofeng had the NKVD and the KGB in his hands, he basically did not bird the pressure exerted by Stalin's side.
"Then do you want to explain it to Comrade Frunze?" Stalin asked again.
"It doesn't make sense." Zhdanov again repudiated Stalin's construction, "Now what you say, Comrade Frunze will not believe it." I think you should simply not say anything and wait for the opening of the plenary session of the Central Committee tomorrow! ”
At this moment, the phone on Stalin's desk rang, and the call was from Sverdlov: "Comrade Joseph, Comrade Frunze was assassinated, according to the preliminary investigation of the KGB and the NKVD, it can basically be considered that the German secret service was responsible, and even according to the investigation of Comrade Andrei, the German secret service will launch a series of assassination operations in the near future, and the security situation in Moscow is worrying, is it not to delay the convening of the plenary session of the Central Committee......"
Stalin, of course, would not agree to the delay, and even he had basically confirmed that this was what Sverdlov was doing, and on the phone he vehemently objected to this suggestion, and after some quarrels, Sverdlov said: "Since you have decided to hold a meeting as originally planned, then let's do it!" However, in order to prevent this from happening, I have established the Politburo to authorize the NKVD and the KGB to conduct a city-wide martial law ...... from now on" (to be continued......
