Chapter 73 Do You Trust You?
Like the Crystal Palace, the Kremlin is also a place with almost no nights. Although it is also a very glorious place from the outside, everyone knows that this is not a place comparable to the Crystal Palace.
If compared with the Crystal Palace, although its architecture is more magnificent, it lacks the elegant mood of the Crystal Palace, the free air and true majesty.
Majesty is not something that can be obtained by the solemn appearance. Just like the magnificent imperial city of Beijing, the reason why the Eight-Nation Alliance cannot stop the entry of the Eight-Nation Alliance into Beijing. The Forbidden City, the Kremlin, and the crystal coffin are all ridiculous and self-important behaviors.
True respect and true majesty are not something as ridiculous as the emperor's new outfits that can be piled up.
Stalin in the Kremlin also understood this principle. He could only have too much selfish desires and could not get out of that totalitarian position and build his own country steadily.
But Stalin's heart was not focused on building a country at this moment. At least he thought that what he was doing now was more important than building a country.
Before doing this, he kept holding his pipe in his mouth, circling around the office, thinking painfully about the conditions he needed.
"I need loyal people, but who should I look for? Is Belia? Is he loyal enough? Am I a little suspicious?"
The series of questions prevented him from calming down and thinking about the problem. In the end, he even had to doubt whether he was worried too much. But the incident that happened in front of him had to make him suspicious.
Paul Kochakin, as the highest officer fleeing the prisoner-of-war camp, was first handed over to the military region, and then transferred to Moscow.
The Soviet Union was willing to pay a large amount of fees for the fleeing senior officers. It was just that most officers worked day after day in prison camps due to family problems.
There was once an example of the escaped officer returning to the Soviet Union after the Soviet government paid a certain fee. But what he faced was the result of his family having to go to Ukraine to serve his sentence. When this incident was later reached the world through the front line, the senior officer was unable to face so many doubts and eventually committed suicide.
Perhaps this was exactly what Stalin was worried about. He stopped and then returned to his desk. A thick stack of files on the table were Paul Kochakin's files.
"Well, from the First Cavalry Army, participated in the Patriotic War, the Polish-Soviet War... the Paris incident... he was in Paris at that time... the southern front, and was the political commissar of Pavlov's army."
Speaking of the battle on the Southern Front, Stalin did not punish anyone. Because the failure of that war was just due to the difference between technical equipment and combat philosophy. Even Stalin was sure that even if he fought again, the Soviet Union would still be defeated by the Chinese Federal Defense Force.
"It seems that he is a loyal man, but can I trust him?"
Stalin had seen the information brought back by Paul Kochakin, which was from Angelica. She did not even hide the fact that her identity had been exposed.
Although Stalin's original trust in her has begun to weaken since she began to add personal suggestions to the attachment of the investigation report on the Chinese Federation. In his mind, Angelica has become an opportunist, and it is well known that the inexplicable "**ist" of appropriating others is a common hobby of some people.
"The Russian emperor is willing to meet us in secret. How is this possible? We and him..."
Stalin knew that the current situation was quite subtle. Although the Chinese Federation's attitude of helping the Russian Empire restore the country was affirmative, it was not tough. Stalin speculated that they might be concerned about the anti-China alliance led by the United States.
If the Chinese Federation fought for the restoration of the Russian Empire, it was very likely that it would be attacked by the troops of the anti-China alliance countries. It might come from the Arassias of the United States, or from India, in any direction from the Middle East.
And it is certain that it will be an extremely tragic battle. Because if the Chinese Federation does not lose balance in a short period of time and lose the supplement to the front-line army, it is very likely that the army composed of a huge population mobilized by the Chinese Federation will sweep the entire world.
The Chinese Federation is not willing to take this risk. Unless something specific happens, they would rather have a stalemate with the anti-China alliance countries for a long time than take a risk of fighting.
Considering the international situation, Stalin was not optimistic about the prospects of the Soviet Union. The information obtained showed that Poland seemed to be due to the deal the Germans had made. Otherwise, they had already declared war and had not fired a single shot or an ammunition to each other.
"If Germany and Poland unite and launch an attack on the Soviet Union together... how is this possible? Unless..."
Even if Germany and Poland join forces, the Germans will not be able to control the Soviet Union in the future. So what is the point of their combat?
"Unless the Chinese Federation can get benefits from it and then assist Germany in controlling the entire Europe! Oh my god, these bastards are all crazy!"
Germany now has almost completely controlled Europe. Although Norway and Belgium's travelogue royal family are still resisting in London, if Germany forms an alliance with the Chinese Federation, it will be difficult for the world to not fall into their hands.
"Unless the Satan Eagle is an extremely greedy guy and Germany is just a country that is being used, then...huh, or we can get in touch with them. In the future..."
Stalin didn't know what he thought of, and the expression on his face became ferocious. His neatly trimmed beard stood on his raised lips like steel needles.
He imagined the future meeting with the Russian emperor, and after he raised his beard, he clenched his teeth again.
"Well, maybe the war with Poland and Germany is inevitable. If they attacked while the United States and Japan were fighting in the Pacific, then we had to persevere until the Americans finished the Battle of Guadalam, and maybe they would have more troops at that time.
At this time, the Russian Royal Guards should not come to cause trouble. Maybe we should contact them if we can..."
When he finished clearly analyzing the international situation, his gray-steel eyes shone brightly again. The top-level tobacco from the Chinese Federation was pressed into the pipe. The pipe that had been extinguished for a long time was once again released into the heat burning.

—————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————Paul Korchakin was sitting outside Stalin’s office. For some reason, he could feel the cold secretary looking at him with a little mockery.
This was not the first time he felt this kind of gaze. When the Paris operation failed, when he arrived at the Southern Front, the General Pavlov looked at him with that gaze.
In prisoners of war camps, soldiers from Ukrainian police forces often like to look at them, the prisoners of the Soviet Red Army, with this kind of gaze.
The only difference is Thunder International. It is undeniable that they like to kill people. Often, when needed, they will collectively shoot prisoners of war. But once the identity of prisoners of war is confirmed, they will no longer give any insults or threats of death to the prisoners of war.
Paul Korchakin, who has dealt with Thunder International many times, has the only evaluation of them.
"They are all excellent and professional soldiers, and it is not a shame to be defeated by them! So, should I go back to the prisoner camp and be with my comrades!"
This is the question that Paul Korchakin often asked himself when he came back. Although he guessed that if the information in the small tube he brought back was really something extreme secret, he would not have been sent back there.
After all, if he is sent back, the extremely important intelligence officer will be exposed. Just like all the soldiers who survived the battlefield, in the dead of night, they often feel ashamed for their own luck.
When Zhukov resolutely stayed and gave himself a greater chance to escape, the feeling of shame in Paul Korchakin's heart became heavier.
"What will those guys do to him? Will they kill him? If that's the case, that's a pity. He is a professional and extremely skilled soldier!"
Just when Paul Kochakin was thinking about being tragic, the secretary put down the phone number of the scenic spot. Although Paul Kochakin always felt that he seemed to mock him with cold eyes, in fact, when the other party spoke, it contained a lot of enthusiasm.
Even when he spoke, his smile made people feel warm and misunderstood. The misunderstanding was not the Soviet Union, but the Chinese Federation, which had a stronger human touch.
"Comrade Paul Korchakin, Comrade Stalin invites you in!"
"Thanks!"
Paul Kochakin stood up, and his body, which had been in his prime, had recovered after a few days of rest. He subconsciously held his chest out and threw the thoughts about his comrades aside.
"Maybe Comrade Stalin will send me some difficult tasks, and maybe I am still a useful soldier!"
Thinking of these vaguely, Paul Korchakin appeared in front of Stalin and was scrutinized by those gray-steel eyes that were easily harsh and sharp.
