On June 30, Xiang Xiaoqiang received a telegram from Fourteen Gege. He thought that the family members were in a hurry and urged him to go back. But when I opened it, I couldn't help but "Huh? With a sigh, his brows furrowed, and his eyes slowly narrowed.

It turned out that according to the latest intelligence of the People's Guard, Tukhachevsky had just been recalled to Moscow. As for what to do with the return, it is not clear. But Fourteen Gege said in a telegram that she herself estimated that Tukhachevsky was in danger this time, and that it was likely that she would not be able to return if she went.

Seeing this, Xiang Xiaoqiang couldn't help but feel a burst of excitement in his chest. - If only it were true. That's Stalin's own severed arm! At this time, among the Soviet generals stationed in Xinjiang, the most capable of fighting is this "Red Napoleon" - Tukhachevsky. If he dies, then the entire Soviet army stationed in Xinjiang will definitely be in danger and morale will plummet, and the Ming army will not be in a no-man's land next.

He was a little suspicious, it was true that Stalin had wanted to kill him, but at this critical moment, the Ming army was pressing forward step by step, how could Stalin be so stupid and cut off his arm? Besides, Tukhachevsky had just won a battle in northern Xinjiang, successfully prevented the Ming army from entering, and made war exploits, but Stalin had no evidence, so how could he kill him?

Later, he thought about the so-called "self-severing arm", which was from the perspective of the entire Soviet Union. But from Stalin's own point of view, was his own power important, or was the territorial integrity of the Soviet Union important? Apparently his own power is more important. In order to retain and consolidate his own power, he did not hesitate to wash the whole party in blood, and at this time in real history, he had already bloodied the whole army. This was a great disservice to the Soviet Union as a country, but it was a great thing for him personally. His power was consolidated, and he could continue to be emperor of the Soviet Empire. The benefits are too great.

Aren't there many such examples in Chinese history? The fierce generals in front of him won consecutive battles and defeated foreign races, becoming the "god of war" and the idol of the whole army...... However, at the critical moment, this fierce general was recruited back by the imperial court and killed for the crime. - For example, Yue Fei.

Why? Except for Yue Fei's stupid slogan of "Welcoming the Second Emperor", isn't the other reason that you are too popular, so that the ruler has a sense of insecurity? Especially when everyone in the army obeys you and everyone makes you an idol, this has already pronounced your own death sentence. Once a general reaches the point where he is unanimously heard in the army, regardless of whether he has dissenting intentions or not, the ruler will be terrified and will do whatever it takes to get rid of him. As for the foreigners, in the eyes of the rulers, it was nothing more than a disease of scabies, which at most caused some damage from the outside. And a general who responds to every call in the army is definitely a big trouble.

Now Tukhachevsky is the same. In Stalin's view, without Tukhachevsky, the Ming army would at most win more battles and take advantage of more in Central Asia. Break through the sky to take back the two frontiers, but it is still far from Moscow. But if Tukhachevsky had been kept, he might have been dragged out of his bed late one night and shot in some dark basement — as he had done to countless comrades.

……

After thinking about it like this, Xiang Xiaoqiang felt more and more that Tukhachevsky couldn't survive. If he really wanted to kill, Stalin had a hundred reasons to kill Tukhachevsky. Which of the thousands of party members and cadres who killed them before had a credential? Isn't it just a confession that is unnecessary? Let him bite him out of prison first, then arrest and torture him, force him to confess, and use his family to threaten him. After he confessed that he was a traitor and a counterrevolutionary, he went through the courtroom and sentenced him to death, which was immediately executed. Then, a massive campaign was launched throughout the country to expose and denounce the traitor and spy Tukhachevsky, and all the newspapers and broadcasts were put into battle, and all the words were spoken, from the corruption and degeneration of life to the disorderly relationship between men and women...... Anyway, let's talk about it. Then, all organs, industrial and mining units, military units, and other units will unify the meeting to expose and criticize, run blackboard newspapers, and "expose and criticize" him regardless of whether they know him or not, or whether they know him or not...... And then after a while, the word "Tukhachevsky" completely disappeared from the USSR, so that even the newly grown up young people did not know that there was such a person...... This series is familiar with the road. Xiang Xiaoqiang sent another telegram to Fourteen Gege, stating his opinion. Fourteen Gege telegraphed back that he thought the same as hers. Now that she has not told the Command and the Cabinet about this matter, she will first ask for Xiang Xiaoqiang's opinion. Fourteen Gege suggested that in these days, the offensive on the northern route could be slowed down, so as not to put pressure on the Soviet troops in northern Xinjiang, and even retreat a little. In short, during Tukhachevsky's absence, Stalin had a feeling that "nothing would have happened without him" and "it is not that he could not have done without him".

In addition, Fourteen Gege also attached a despicable plan to this telegram. After looking at Xiaoqiang, he couldn't help laughing: This is indeed a little despicable.

The next day, July 1, Xiang Xiaoqiang and Zhu Yourong both appeared in public again, this time to attend the inauguration ceremony of Hami No. 1 Cemetery. It was built for tens of thousands of Hami locals who starved to death during the Great Famine. The ceremony is followed by a mass funeral. Today, at least a thousand bodies will be buried here.

After the funeral, many reporters surrounded the empress and the prince and asked questions.

Since it is the funeral of the victims, the reporter naturally asks more questions in this regard. A journalist asked:

"Your Royal Highness, Tukhachevsky artificially created a great famine in Hami, in your opinion, ......"

Xiang Xiaoqiang interrupted him and said:

"I'm sorry, I correct, it was not Marshal Tukhachevsky who created the Holodomor, it was Stalin who created the Holodomor. Marshal Tukhachevsky was an upright military man, and as far as I know, he was also very resistant to such cruel orders. In fact, this kind of extermination of humanity can only be done by a dictator like Stalin, a dictator who kills people without blinking, and a demon king who eats people without spitting out bones. We can't get the object wrong. ”

Another journalist seized the opportunity to ask:

"Your Royal Highness, there is information that Tukhachevsky has flown back to Moscow, and given the current situation in Moscow, does this, in your opinion, mean that Tukhachevsky may be purged?"

Xiang Xiaoqiang looked surprised, stared at him for a few seconds, and then looked very cautious, and said:

"I don't know where you got the news. At least I didn't get any such news. I consider Marshal Tukhachevsky to be a rare military strategist and a respectable opponent. He not only has extremely high military attainments, but also has a flawless character, and is a very upright man. If it weren't for the war, if it weren't for the conflicting ideologies between the two countries, I would have liked to have a long talk with Marshal Tukhachevsky somewhere and learn from him...... Or push a cup and drink with him, and talk about the world's major events, wouldn't it be happy! …… If such an excellent person is really framed by some despicable villains who only care about their private rights and disregard the country, it is really a tragedy of history. Marshal Tukhachevsky will shine in history with his outstanding military genius and integrity, and on the contrary - some will be nailed to the pillar of historical shame forever. ”

Zhu Yourong also seemed to be infected, she took it and said:

"I would also like to appeal here to Marshal Tukhachevsky - I know that you can see our newspapers and hear our broadcasts: if you really do not intend to be an accomplice of the devil, if you really want to be a shining star in the annals of history, and do not want to be nailed to the pillar of shame in history, you should not be so indistinguishable from evil! Not for who wins or loses militarily, but for saving people - whether it is people in the Ming Dynasty or in the USSR, they are all people. ”
