Wang Chuying walked hurriedly on the bustling streets of Moscow, walking among the people coming and going. His eyes did not stay on the streets or the crowds for even one second longer.
Wang Chuying's current identity is a grain merchant from China. His daily job is to discuss with some officials in Moscow how much affordable grain can be transferred to Moscow today.
Stalin's plan to exchange grain for machines has been implemented for more than a year. Although this plan brought a large number of machines and equipment back to Soviet Russia from Europe, the most direct consequence of this plan was the loss of population and food shortages in the entire Soviet Russian countryside.
, the farming population has dropped sharply. Although big cities like Moscow are the focus of food security and will never be as tragic as those in remote Siberian villages, there is no doubt that the entire city is generally short of food.
Therefore, businessmen like Wang Chuying who can transport grain to Moscow have become the most popular people in Moscow. Although Wang Chuying has a distinctive Asian face and his passport has the words "Republic of China" written on it, who is it?
No matter how much you care about it, food is real. As long as you can get food, it doesn't matter whether you are a devil or not.
"Kacha kacha" A group of Soviet soldiers walked through the street with neat steps, and bursts of loud singing sounded in the team.
"The October Revolution is like a pillar of fire reaching the sky. Behind it is burning the remnants of the past. In front is shining a new path for the future. Hey October Revolution, I will dedicate my heart to you. Humanity will be reborn because of your birth."
Listening to this seemingly heroic singing voice, Wang Chuying secretly sneered in her heart, "Sing, you must not be full with the quota of only two pieces of black bread every day. When the black bread is halved again, I guess you won't be able to sing anymore."
.”
After turning a corner, Wang Chuying came to a bakery. Several waiters inside were busy baking bread and greeting customers. A burst of fragrance spread through the oven to the door of the store and floated to the roadside, attracting the attention of passers-by.
Looking at the bakery, at its entrance, a dozen Russian housewives were queuing up, waiting for the next round of bread to come out of the oven.
"Shopkeeper, you're here." After entering the bakery, several waiters greeted Wang Chuying one after another. Wang Chuying always responded to the waiters' greetings one by one with a smile. "I am becoming more and more like a shopkeeper now."
La." Wang Chuying thought.
After going up to the second floor and walking into her room, Wang Chuying pulled out a small suitcase from under the bed. After opening the box, a small radio was revealed. After plugging in the power, Wang Chuying took out the code book from the box and started
After skillfully pressing the button, a "ticking" sound suddenly sounded in the room.
"According to various intelligence reports, the Soviet government has no signs of large-scale mobilization of troops in the near future, and the food supply in downtown Moscow has been relatively tight recently. Even so, the Soviet government has not slowed down its plan to exchange grain for machines. They are very concerned about machines.
The desire and demand have reached a surprising level, which also indirectly proves the Soviet Russian government's desire to develop industry. Regarding the recent increase in troops on Lake Baikal, it is said that there are different opinions within the Soviet Russian government.
"
While Wang Chuying was sending the report, a meeting was also being held in the Kremlin. Several members of the People's Committee were also arguing with each other at the meeting.
People's Commissar of Defense Voroshilov, known as one of the three giants of Soviet Russia, is very opposed to the move to provoke China at this time. "Comrade Rashidov, I hope you can know that Siberia is not Uzbekistan under your management. He is
In the buffer zone bordering China, what our country needs now is to recuperate, and it is not a good idea to offend China at this time."
Rashidov, chairman of the Supreme Soviet Presidium of Uzbekistan, retorted, "Comrade Voroshilov, I think some of the measures taken by the Chinese government are seriously damaging the foundation of our Soviet government. Now a large number of farmers are leaving every day.
Alexei, a lackey of the Chinese government, is flooding into the area. We must stop this bad trend. And according to reliable information, the Chinese government is carrying out a large number of immigrants to Siberia in recent years. So far, it has
Three hundred thousand Chinese people have poured into Siberia and the number is still increasing. If we don't respond as soon as possible, ten years later we will be surprised to find that the entire Siberia has been dyed yellow by a large number of Chinese people.
Yes, this problem is very serious and must attract our attention.”
The meeting place was silent. Everyone knew why the situation in Siberia was so tense, but Stalin proposed the grain-for-machine plan. To ease the situation in Siberia, the endless plundering of grain must stop. But who dared to propose it?
Stalin sat aside and listened quietly to the quarrel among the participants. When the meeting was paused, he looked at a general sitting aside and asked, "Comrade Zhukov, what do you think of the current situation in Siberia?"
Zhukov, who just returned victorious on the battlefield in Finland, is undoubtedly a rising star in Moscow in recent times. There are rumors that Stalin is preparing to promote him to marshal, and there are also rumors that Stalin is preparing to appoint him as the commander of the Moscow Military District. Whatever it is,
There is no doubt that Zhukov's opinions at this time will affect Stalin's judgment and decision to a great extent. Everyone's attention has turned to him.
Zhukov slowly looked at Stalin and said softly: "I am just a soldier and don't know much about economics and politics, so I can only look at this issue from the perspective of a soldier. Regarding the issue of large numbers of farmers fleeing across the border in Siberia
We will not discuss the reasons for this, but I would like to ask everyone here, if we are to have a conflict with the Chinese army at this time, are our Soviet Red Army ready?"
"Comrade Zhukov, this is not a reason for us to escape." Foreign Minister Motolov began to retort: "Our enemies will not wait until we are ready to fight us. They will attack us at any time.
, we must be prepared at all times. Comrade Zhukov, I have been to China, and the biggest impression that China has on me is their population base. As long as you give them a little time, they will swarm like locusts to any place they can cover.
, This is extremely terrifying. Our national population is only 1.6 billion, but their population is 450 million. What is the concept? This shows that as long as the Chinese government is willing, they can allocate 300 or 300 million at any time.
Tens or even 100 million people are pouring into our Siberia. You can imagine what it will be like by then. I am certain that by then our great Soviet Russia will be completely submerged by their sea of people."
"Yes, dear Comrade Motolov, you are right, but have you ever thought about whether we can be sure to win this war if we have a conflict or even start a war with them now?"
"We have to fight even if we can't win. At least we can let them see our determination. This is also a warning we give them. The dignity of our Soviet government must be respected by them."
Motolov's tone was very firm. Once upon a time, China, as a country that had been weak for more than a century, could not be as arrogant in front of Soviet Russia. But now, not only has it lost troops and generals in the military conflicts in the past two years, but now
They actually started to encroach on their land. He knew exactly what this meant.
Listening to the discussions with the crowd, Stalin was also thinking. In recent years, the Chinese government has become more and more tough on foreign affairs. This can be seen from the conflict in Tibet last year. They are not afraid of the British.
It can be seen from the attitude of the Communist Party of China that they did not hesitate to take over Tibet and Hong Kong. The Chinese Government has changed its previous cowardly attitude and began to loudly say no to all countries in the world.
But what worries Stalin even more is that since the war with China that cost many troops and generals, the attitude of many high-level people in the country towards China has also begun to change. They have changed their previous attitudes and began to regard China as a country.
An opponent who could be on an equal footing with Soviet Russia was what Stalin was most worried about. However, going to war at this time was not a good option. This was what Stalin found most difficult.
Now how can we destroy the Chinese cannibalization plan without triggering a large-scale war between the two countries? It is really a tangled question.
"Comrade Zhukov, how do you think we can give the Chinese a warning now without triggering a full-scale conflict between the two countries?" After thinking about it again and again, Stalin decided to listen to Zhukov's opinion first. After the Battle of Finland, Stalin finally decided to reuse Zhukov's skills.
He is a military genius, so his opinions should naturally be taken seriously.
Zhukov thought for a long time and then said: "Comrade Stalin, I think that if we want the Chinese government to see our determination, we must take two steps: First, we must send a relatively harsh diplomatic statement to the Chinese government.
The note expresses our government's attitude. Secondly, we will first withdraw the additional troops sent to the Lake Baikal area for one hundred kilometers. This not only demonstrates our government's attitude, but also shows that we have no intention of having a military conflict with them. Can you
What do you think?"
"I think this is okay. Don't the Chinese people pay attention to courtesy first and then attack? By doing this, we at least have room for buffering, and it will not cause trouble for both sides." Voroshilov was the first to agree.
After careful consideration, Stalin felt that Zhukov's words made sense, "Well, I think Comrade Zhukov's words still make sense. What do you think?"
