On June 30, Xiang Xiaoqiang received a telegram with fourteen grids. He thought it was the people at home who were waiting impatiently and urging him to go back. But when he opened it and looked at it, he couldn't help but said "huh?" and frowned.
Tightly, his eyes slowly narrowed.
It turned out that according to the latest intelligence from the People's Guard, Tukhachevsky had just been recalled to Moscow. As for what he was going to do back there, it was still unclear. But Fourteenth Princess said in the telegram that she estimated that Tukhachevsky was in danger this time.
The odds are stacked against you, and you may not be able to come back.
Seeing this, Xiang Xiaoqiang couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement in his chest. - It would be great if it were true. That would mean Stalin cut off his own arm! At this time, among the Soviet generals stationed in Xinjiang, this is the one who is the most capable of fighting.
The "Red Napoleon" - Tukhachevsky. If he died, the entire Soviet army stationed in Xinjiang would definitely be in danger. The morale would plummet, and the Ming army would be like a deserted country.
He also had some doubts. It was true that Stalin had wanted to kill him for a long time. 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 the battle in northern Xinjiang.
, who successfully prevented the Ming army from entering and made military exploits. How could Stalin kill him without any evidence?
Later, he thought again, the so-called "cutting one's own arm off" was from the perspective of the entire Soviet Union. But from Stalin's own perspective, was his own power more important, or the territorial integrity of the Soviet Union? Obviously, it was
It is his own power that is more important. In order to preserve and consolidate his own power, he did not hesitate to bloodbath the entire party. At this time in real history, he had also bloodbathed the entire army. This was a great harm to the Soviet Union, but
For him personally, it was a great thing. With his power consolidated, he could continue to be the emperor of the Soviet Empire steadily. This was a great benefit.
Aren’t there many examples like this in Chinese history? A fierce general at the front won consecutive battles, defeated the aliens, became the "God of War", and became an idol worshiped by the entire army... However, at the critical moment, this fierce general was recruited by the imperial court.
Go back, punish and kill him - such as Yue Fei.
Why? Apart from Yue Fei's silly slogan of "please the Second Emperor", isn't the other reason because you are so popular that it makes the rulers feel insecure? Especially when everyone in the army admires you,
When everyone makes you an idol, you have already sentenced yourself to death. Once a general reaches the point where he can be responded to by hundreds of people in the army, no matter whether he has different intentions or not, the ruler will be frightened and get rid of him at all costs.
.As for foreigners, in the eyes of the rulers, they are just scabies, which at most cause some damage from the outside. And a general who responds to everything in the army is definitely a serious problem.
The same is true for Tukhachevsky now. In Stalin's view, without Tukhachevsky, the Ming army would at best win more battles in Central Asia and take advantage of it. It would break the sky and take back the two frontiers, but
It's still far away from Moscow. But if Tukhachevsky is left alone, he might be pulled out of bed late one night, dragged to a dark basement and shot - just like he did to countless
Just like what comrades have done.
…
After thinking about it for a while, Xiang Xiaoqiang felt more and more that Tukhachevsky would not survive. If he really wanted to kill him, Stalin had a hundred reasons to kill Tukhachevsky. He had killed thousands of others before.
Which party member or cadre has evidence? Isn't it just to force a confession out of necessity? First, let someone who is already in prison bite him out, then arrest him, torture him, force him to confess, and even use his family to threaten him, etc.
After he admitted that he was a traitor and counterrevolutionary, he went through the motions in court, pronounced the death sentence, and executed it immediately. Then, he launched a massive nationwide campaign to expose the traitor and spy Tukhachevsky, which was broadcast in all newspapers
They all went into battle together and spoke with one voice. From the corruption of life to the promiscuity of relationships between men and women... in short, we will not talk about it until it is ruined. Then all agencies, industries, mines, troops and other units will jointly hold expose and criticize meetings and publish blackboard newspapers. Regardless of whether they know him or not, understand him.
Anyone who doesn’t know him must “expose and criticize” him…and then after a while, the word “Tukhachevsky” will completely disappear from the Soviet Union, so that the newly grown young people will not know it.
There was such a person... In this series, everything is familiar.
Xiang Xiaoqiang sent another telegram to Shi Shi Ge Ge, explaining his views. Shi Shi Ge Ge replied in a telegram that his views were exactly the same as hers. She has not told the headquarters and cabinet about this matter yet, so first come
Ask for Xiang Xiaoqiang's opinion. The Fourteenth Gege suggested that in the past few days, the offensive on the northern route can be slowed down so as not to put pressure on the Soviet army in northern Xinjiang, and it can even retreat slightly. In short, it must be done before Tukhachevsky is not around.
During this period, Stalin felt that "nothing would happen without him" and "it's not that he can't do it without him".
In addition, Shi Shigege also included a despicable plan to add insult to injury in this telegram. After reading it to Xiaoqiang, he couldn't help but laugh: This is indeed a bit despicable.
The next day, July 1, Xiang Xiaoqiang and Zhu Yourong both appeared in public again, this time attending the inauguration ceremony of Hami Cemetery No. 1. This was built for the tens of thousands of Hami locals who starved to death in the Great Famine.
After the ceremony, there was a collective funeral. Today, at least a thousand corpses will be buried here.
After the funeral, many reporters gathered around the Queen and the Prince, asking questions all over the place.
Since it was a funeral for the victims, reporters naturally asked more questions about it. One reporter asked:
"Your Highness, Tukhachevsky artificially created a famine in Hami. In your opinion, it is..."
Xiang Xiaoqiang interrupted him and said:
"Sorry, let me correct you. It is not Marshal Tukhachevsky who is creating the Great Famine, but Stalin. Marshal Tukhachevsky is an upright soldier. As far as I know, he is not responsible for the great famine."
This kind of cruel order is also very contradictory. In fact, only Stalin, a dictator who kills without blinking an eye, a devil who eats people without spitting out their bones, can do such inhumane things. We must not get the wrong target.
"
Another reporter took the opportunity and asked:
"Your Highness, there is news that Tukhachevsky has flown back to Moscow. In view of the current situation in Moscow, in your opinion, does this 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 such news. I think Marshal Tukhachevsky is a rare military strategist and a respectable opponent. He is not only good at military
He has extremely high attainments and has a flawless character. He is a very upright person. If it were not for a war, and if the two countries were not such a conflicting ideology, I would really look forward to being able to work with Tuha somewhere.
Marshal Chevsky had a long chat and devoted himself to learning from him... Or wouldn't it be nice to have a drink with him and talk about world affairs!... If such an outstanding person is really used by some selfish people,
It is really a historical tragedy that Marshal Tukhachevsky will shine brilliantly in history with his outstanding military genius and upright character, and on the contrary - a certain
These people will be nailed to the pillar of shame in history forever."
Zhu Yourong seemed to be infected too. She took over and said:
"I would also like to make an appeal to Marshal Tukhachevsky here - I know you can read our newspapers and hear our radio: If you really don't intend to become an accomplice of the devil, if you really want to
If you want to become a dazzling star shining in the history books and don't want to be nailed to the pillar of shame in history, you should not continue to be so ignorant of good and evil! It is not for the sake of military victory, but for the sake of saving lives.
Human beings - whether they are people in the Ming Dynasty or people in the Soviet Union, they are all human beings."
