"Comrade Butterfly, it's not that I don't trust you, but this matter is really unbelievable. Let's not talk about other things. It's this Lyushikov. According to what you said, this person is a senior Soviet official. Why did he
Want to defect? Or even plan to assassinate Stalin?" Tie Shi also seemed a little nervous and irritable at this time, so he asked Li Wei directly.
"And the relationship between the Soviet Union and Japan is so delicate now, it is unlikely that the Japanese will participate in such an assassination operation!"
"After all, if this kind of thing is exposed, Japan and the Soviet Union will inevitably enter a state of war. This is something the Japanese do not want to see." Tie Shi on the side also immediately expressed his doubts.
"So this time the Japanese will let these Russians become assassins." Levi also answered directly.
"But can the Japanese be that stupid?" Comrade Tieshi asked softly.
"Comrade Tetsushi, there is a reality that we have to pay attention to, that is, the influence of Japan's young faction in the military is very large, and war madmen like Tojo and Enji Doi have taken power."
"So they are very likely to think back to what happened in the September 18th Incident, abandoning the government and making their own decisions. After all, Japan is already a completely crazy country."
"So we can't use normal thinking to understand this country and how they want to do things." Levi then said softly.
To be honest, Levi has also been thinking about the reasons for Lyushkov's defection during this period.
On the one hand, it is because they are very afraid of the "Great Purge" movement held within the Soviet Union.
On the other hand, there was another thing that always made him a little uneasy!
That happened in January 1924, the year Lenin died.
Following Lenin's death, the Soviet Union quickly held a secret meeting, at which a report was adopted on how to protect the health of top leaders.
Shortly after the meeting, the top leaders of the Soviet Union designated Sochi on the Black Sea to establish a sanatorium specifically for the use of national leaders.
Because Sochi is located on the coast of the Black Sea and has a long and narrow area, it has been a scenic resort for a long time.
The Matesta Valley on the outskirts of Sochi was also designated as a health resort, and an old wealthy manor near the valley was immediately named "Green Jungle" and became Stalin's exclusive villa.
Because Stalin suffered from severe rheumatism, he needed careful treatment every year. Therefore, the top leaders of the Soviet Union also took advantage of the hot springs in Matseta and built another hot spring health center.
This health center is only 4 kilometers away from Stalin's villa "Green Jungle" and can be reached through a secret road.
For safety reasons, the Macesta Hot Spring Resort is closed all year round, with a seal on the door and outsiders are strictly prohibited from entering. It will only be temporarily opened when national leaders need it.
The task of supervising the construction of the sanatorium fell on Lyushkov.
According to the design plan, the main body of this project is to build a large stone castle on the hillside. Therefore, during the construction period, the guards closely monitored every move of the stonemasons and carpenters, carefully inspected all underground pipelines, and even
You also need to carefully check the strength of the fence.
But even so, Ryusikov can't completely rest assured, because he knows very well that the quality of the completion of this project will directly determine his career for the rest of his life. If the work is done well, he is likely to be promoted and will
Transferred to Moscow.
Therefore, in order to try his best to ensure the smooth progress of the renovation project, Ryusikov also worked very hard, often climbing into the sewer pipes to check, and even ordered rework many times.
However, no matter how careful he was, there was still trouble during the final inspection. Just two days before Stalin was about to move into the "Green Jungle", Stalin's guard captain came to inspect it.
As soon as this person entered the door, he was stunned in front of a huge central fountain at the door. After hesitating for a moment, the person became furious: "Are you a bunch of mindless trash? The master can't hear this rushing water at all.
Sound, dismantle it quickly, I will focus on checking here later!"
Lyushkov was also stunned by this sudden turn of events. He worked hard for several months to complete the project, but instead of receiving any praise, he was given a demerit.
Of course, he was annoyed, but things still had to be done.
By the second day, the original large fountain had disappeared, and a large flower bed had risen from the ground.
When Stalin came to this magnificent villa, he expressed that he liked it very much. Of course, he would not know about the previous episode.
However, in Ryusikov's heart, Stalin's guard captain's curse never went away.
In addition, at this time, the entire Soviet Union was shrouded in the shadow of the "Great Purge", so Ryusikov, who was anxious every day, was afraid that his mistake would be used as a basis for the purge.
Moreover, in May, Lyusikov's friends in the Ministry of Internal Affairs told him that Stalin had ordered his "recall to Moscow," so this meant that he might also be purged.
His predecessor was also recalled to Moscow for "ineffective suppression of counter-revolutionaries" and was arrested and executed just one month later on the charge of "Japanese rape".
After Lyusikov took office, he was also ordered to carry out a purge campaign. In just 10 months, more than 200,000 political prisoners were arrested in the name of "enemies of the people", "spies" and "saboteurs", and about 7,000 of them were arrested.
Was shot.
Lyushkov's hard-working results were not praised by his superiors, but instead were evaluated as "poor execution" because his results were lower than the national average.
On the one hand, it is the psychological shadow caused by building a villa, and on the other hand, it is the fate of being purged.
Therefore, when the two situations are combined, Lyushkov's idea of escape becomes clearer.
As a result, he began to actively contact Japanese spies and then fled the Soviet Union.
Of course, there was another reason why he hated Stalin so much that he even went so far as to assassinate him, and that was that his wife did not escape and fell into the hands of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
His wife is only 27 years old and very beautiful. He loves his wife very much.
But now his wife has fallen into the hands of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. He has worked in the Ministry of Internal Affairs for a long time and is well aware of the cruelty of torture methods used by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, so the probability of his wife being alive is low.
It is precisely because of this that the extremely desperate Ryusikov decided to use the intelligence he had to retaliate against the Soviet Union and even kill Stalin.
