But for Yang Zhen, he was more interested in the series of sequelae caused by this incident. Beria fell, but Stalin used the Soviet-Finnish war as an excuse to adjust the positions of a large number of senior Soviet commanders. The former Soviet Army
Chief of the General Staff Shaposhnikov was dismissed several months earlier than later generations knew. [.Com text]
After the former People's Commissar of Defense Marshal Voroshilov was dismissed from his post, he did not serve as the Vice Chairman of the People's Committee equivalent to the Deputy Prime Minister as he knew, but was assigned to the newly formed Arkhangelsk Military District as a figurehead.
deputy commander.
The situation of the First Deputy People's Commissar of Defense, Marshal Budyonny, was better. Although he was also dismissed from his post, he was sent to Riga, Latvia to prepare for the establishment of the Baltic Coast Special Military District composed of the three Baltic countries annexed by the Soviet Union.
Former Soviet Deputy Chief of General Staff Vatutin was also unlucky. He was driven out of the central government and transferred to a small military region that had just been established. The Kharkiv Military District was appointed commander of the military region, and Assistant Chief of General Staff Major General Zakharov was also transferred.
Transferred to the Odessa Military District as Chief of Staff.
The adjustments of these high-level generals are of course directly related to the poor performance of the Soviet army in the Soviet-Finnish War. For example, Marshal Voroshilov, who had no military expertise and relied on slapping horses, was not arrested.
Well, Stalin was nostalgic for old friendships, but the changes in others undoubtedly contained a disguised warning from Stalin to the top brass of the Soviet army.
For other generals of the Soviet army, Marshal Voroshilov, a guy who only adds insult to injury and can only flatter others, is happy to be sent. For them, they can keep Marshal Timoshenko and General Shaposhnikov.
These two highly respected veterans, who had saved the lives of many generals from Stalin's guns, were already very content.
In the eyes of many Soviet generals, as long as these two veteran generals are not driven out of the Central Committee, it means that the outcome will not be too bad. Moreover, many arrested Soviet generals have also been released, which is a good news for everyone.
Good news, at least we know who is still alive and who has disappeared forever.
These changes in the top ranks of the Soviet army were naturally not told to Yang Zhen by the Soviet Union. Vice Chairman Zhou specifically told him these changes in order to prepare him mentally when he had an in-depth talk with him. Vice Chairman Zhou told Yang Zhen these things
, hoping that he would be more careful when communicating with the Soviet Union. There were frequent changes in the top ranks of the Soviet Army, and General Abanashank might also be transferred one day.
When in contact with these Soviet generals, you must be cautious and try not to give people any leverage, let alone participate in the purge struggle within the Soviet army. Beria is dead, but the Soviet NKVD still exists. That leverage
The Sword of Damorysk hanging over the heads of all Soviet generals is still there, and maybe the new ones who have been replaced will go even further to cater to the tastes of the superiors.
Although Yang Zhen deliberately concealed certain things, Vice Chairman Zhou, with his years of experience in intelligence work, was sensitive enough to realize that the arrest and execution of the powerful Soviet NKVD was probably related to the young general in front of him.
Because he had already learned that the so-called intelligence was transferred from Yang Zhen to the Soviet Union.
He just didn't know that this matter was planned by Yang Zhen, but he never figured out where Yang Zhen got this information, which should be top secret information in both Germany and Japan. You need to know this.
Things are not something that ordinary people can create. Could it be that they also developed their own intelligence organization at the top of the Kwantung Army.
Yang Zhen was not asked where the information came from. Vice Chairman Zhou's move was a warning to Yang Zhen that the Soviet Union's purges and anti-revolutionary efforts would not stop because of Beria's arrest and execution.
Be careful. If he is secretly arrested by the Soviet side while he is in the Soviet Union, the central government will basically be powerless.
But Yang Zhen had a different feeling from these situations, especially the appointments of Budyonny and Vatutin. He realized that these veterans were driven out of Moscow to serve in seemingly inconspicuous military regions. Although they were
Stalin's warning to the Soviet generals, but it also contained a major strategic adjustment.
Compared with Marshal Voroshilov who was sent to the frontier, although these two were kicked out of Moscow, they were sent to the front-line combat units, and these two military regions seemed to be compared with important military regions such as Kiev, Minsk, and Moscow.
, relatively inconspicuous, but its location is extremely important.
Especially Marshal Budyonny, because of his important position in the special military region established by the three original Baltic Sea countries, it goes without saying that he was sent here. In fact, it was not so much an exile as a reuse. After the establishment of the Baltic Sea Special Military Region, it was closely connected with Minsk in the south.
The two major military districts of Kiev and the Leningrad Military District in the north form an overall defensive posture, and this special military district along the Baltic Sea plays a key linking role in this defensive posture.
Vatutin was assigned to the second-line military district of the most important Kiev military district on the western border. He played an important role in the reserve force of the Kiev military district and ensuring its strategic depth. He also played a role in coordinating with the Orel military district to cover the flanks of the northern Moscow military district.
, although it is inconspicuous, its strategic location is extremely important.
In particular, the Crimean Peninsula within its jurisdiction not only houses the Soviet Union's largest naval base in the Black Sea, but also is the only one that can threaten Germany's most important source of oil, Romania, if the Soviet army loses the first battle and the major western military districts are lost once the war breaks out.
In the air base, Vatutin, who was the deputy chief of staff, was exiled here as the commander. I am afraid that his intention is not to simply dispatch.
In Yang Zhen's view, Stalin's move should be considered from two aspects. While warning some restless Soviet generals, he also made adjustments to the future strategic layout. In addition to maintaining a large number of effective forces in the front-line military areas
, as well as elite troops and generals, the second-line military region bordering the western border also began to be equipped with capable generals in his eyes, ensuring the deep security of the first-line military region.
The destruction of the Japanese spy network actually woke up Stalin in advance. This was something Yang Zhen did not expect at the beginning. Jiang was old and hot after all. It is no wonder that Stalin was able to firmly control the Soviet power for so many years. This method is indeed brilliant. These
Yang Zhen, who had already figured it out, was completely indifferent to the shocking news revealed by General Abana Shenk.
Looking at Yang Zhen with a dull expression, Abanashenk's mouth twitched. He did not expect that this was tantamount to a bomb dropped on the top of the Soviet army that made everyone overjoyed. For Yang Zhen, it was just like hearing
Catching a thief is no different.
General Abanashank, who was a little disappointed with Yang Zhen's performance, once again reminded: "Comrade Yang Zhen, we have dug out the bombs buried by the fascists around us and cut off all channels for intelligence leakage.
You don’t have to worry about all the cooperation!”
Regarding General Abanashank's words, Yang Zhen smiled slightly and said: "Comrade Abanashank is not in a hurry. Considering logistical and technical reasons, we have decided not to use these aircraft. Anyway, we have already
Being used to fighting without air superiority, it doesn't matter to us whether we have these aircraft or not!"
"I think the Soviet Union can now terminate the negotiations with the Americans. As for those communications equipment, since the Soviet Party believes that they have no significant value, then we are prepared to take back the original decision and not transfer technology to the Soviet Union, but
And transfer technology to Americans in order to obtain part of the foreign exchange that is extremely valuable to us!"
Having said this, Yang Zhen paused and said: "Besides, the Soviet Union is not suitable for producing these advanced communication equipment in a short period of time. The electron tubes produced by the Soviet Union are bulky and of poor quality. These tubes using Soviet electron tubes
Communication equipment can easily burn out due to overheating, so we have decided to stop transferring to the Soviet Union this advanced equipment that you cannot produce yet!"
"Comrade Abanashank, I think I have stayed here long enough. Since there is no point in staying any longer, I think it is better for me to return home first when the domestic situation is already very urgent.
, I now solemnly inform the Soviet Union that I hope you can arrange a plane to take me back to Luobei as soon as possible!"
As soon as Yang Zhen finished speaking, General Abanashenk was not only angry this time, Kovalev also had a livid face: "Comrade Yang Zhen, we have signed an agreement with the United States, and they have agreed to
This batch of fighter jets will be transported to Vladivostok within a month, and the first batch of 120 fighter jets will be shipped here next month!"
"And we have already paid a deposit of up to six million U.S. dollars to it. Now you say no and cancel the negotiations. Are you kidding us? The Soviet Party paid the six million U.S. dollars for you. Is it in vain?
Well, don’t you know that the agreement we reached with the Americans states that if we terminate the contract, they will not get back a penny!”
"Also, the things our Soviet produces are the most advanced in the world and the quality is the most reliable. How can you slander the quality of the materials our Soviet provides you? You know, the prices of these products are nearly free.
Provided to you!”
However, when he later defended the production of electronic tubes by the Soviet Union, Kovalev felt a little guilty when he said it, because the high-power radio stations equipped by their high-level headquarters all used German-made electronic tubes, and the Soviet-made ones ordered in the early stage were trial-produced by Yang Zhen.
These equipment caused a lot of trouble, and the tubes Yang Zhen ordered later were also imported from Germany.
Well, although the import price of the electronic tubes Yang Zhen wanted was definitely not the free stuff he said, and it was more than double the import price, which was a bit high, but after all, it still met their standards, right?
And this debt cannot be blamed on the Far East Military Region.
Regarding these words of Kovalev, Yang Zhen shrugged helplessly: "Comrade Abanashank, Comrade Kovalev, it's not that I intentionally broke the contract, it's that we really can't afford the price you offered, and,
Before our agreement has been finalized, you are eager to import these aircraft, which has nothing to do with us. As for the losses, I'm sorry, you can only bear them yourself!"
"You scatter the eagle before the rabbit sees it, but you shouldn't blame the rabbit for why the eagle is tired. Again, I want these planes, but you ask for them
I can't afford the price. If you agree to our request, I can accept the account and transfer the technology of those communication equipment to you for free. If you don't agree, then I have nothing to do."
