"After investigation, it has been found that Tukhachevsky had contacted the German fifth column and joined it through the opportunity of going to the Berlin Military Academy after the Soviet Union signed the "Treaty of Raballo".
betrayed the national interests of the Soviet Union." Through the personal report of the director of the Soviet Security Bureau, Stalin finally confirmed Tukhachevsky's crime.
Stalin never gave up revenge for the marshal who blamed himself for the Soviet army's defeat in Warsaw 17 years ago. It was just that Tukhachevsky was too clean, had no flaws in his conduct, and was conscientious in his work. This made Stalin
I have been unable to catch his mistakes, so I have no chance to suppress him.
Finally, by chance, Soviet agents "happened" to obtain a secret German document in Czechoslovakia, which had just merged with Germany, and discovered Tukhachevsky's treasonous behavior.
How do you say that the German head of state knows how to behave? If Reinhard was a Soviet official, Stalin could not wait to entrust him with important tasks and entrust him as a confidant right now.
At the beginning, Reinhard, who had not yet taken the position of head of state, had been thinking of showing favor to the guilty Stalin. He also entrusted Soviet-German cooperation projects to Stalin by name. This made Stalin not because of
He was demoted due to accusations from Tukhachevsky and others.
Now, just when Stalin wanted to deal with his old enemy, Germany "accidentally" lost this information. If anyone dared to say that there was no hint from Reinhardt, Stalin himself would not believe it. So
Will important information be lost by chance and picked up by Soviet agents? What a liar!
However, this document contains more than just Tukhachevsky. It also mentions a little-known little division commander at the time - the commander of the 40th Soviet Cavalry Division, Georgi Konstantinovich.
Zhukov.
What did the Germans mean by this? Stalin was confused for a moment. Based on Stalin’s understanding of Reinhard, the German head of state with whom he had worked together for 2 years, it was good that he courted him and slandered Tukhachevsky.
Explanation. But he was a little confused when he added this little Commander Zhukov to the list.
"Warevsky, you are about to go on a mission to Germany. Do you know why the German head of state wrote the name Zhukov?" Stalin asked with squinted eyes while taking a big gulp of gas from his pipe.
"General Secretary, according to my impression, the German head of state named Reinhard seems to have had an affair with Commander Zhukov." Warevsky, who has a good memory, thought for a while and quickly came up with the answer.
"Oh? Tell me." Regarding Warevsky's answer, Stalin nodded thoughtfully. The only reason why Reinhard would pay attention to Zhukov, a junior commander, seems to be
There are several possibilities.
"Okay, General Secretary." After receiving the signal, Walevsky let go of his courage and told the story in his memory: "According to the record of our conversation with Reinhardt after he went to the Soviet Union 15 years ago.
, we found that he mentioned his admiration for Zhukov’s wife, Mrs. A. Kiyevna, more than once. For this reason, he even slandered Master Zhukov’s bad character in public on many occasions...
....”
"He has the nerve to say that others have bad character..." Stalin covered his forehead and said at a loss of whether to laugh or cry: "Among all the national leaders I know, Reinhardt can be said to be the most dishonest one. Moreover,
He came to Moscow with his wife at that time, and I even attended his wedding in person. This... the Germans are really weird, electing such a president."
After listening to Stalin's evaluation of Reinhardt, Warevsky couldn't understand what he meant, so he had to further confirm: "Then the General Secretary thinks, do we have to deal with Commander Zhukov and ask him to help us get rid of him?"
Drop the favor from Tukhachevsky.”
"No need!" Stalin casually rejected Warevsky's proposal, waved his hand and said with a smile: "The German head of state behaves so childishly, do I, the leader of the Soviet Union, have to imitate his impulsive behavior? For a woman,
Just use the power of the country to frame the generals of other countries. It’s hard for him to do such a shameful thing.”
"Then..." Warevsky knew the relationship between Reinhardt and Stalin. In order to please the Soviet leader, the other party used all kinds of means. Maybe he just wanted to get rid of Stalin.
To lose such a small division commander and to insist on chewing the other party's hints at this time may offend people greatly. Judging from the temperament of the German head of state, he may do something troublesome when the time comes.
"There's nothing to worry about!" Stalin saw the expression on Walevsky's face deliberately. He patted his confidant on the shoulder and instructed: "Find any death row prisoner and change the name on his file.
Zhukov. After the execution, it was announced in the newspaper so that the Germans could see it. This can be regarded as an explanation to the naive German head of state. As for Division Commander Zhukov... I will tell him about it after some time.
, just say that I personally cleared his name of wrongdoing, do you understand what I mean?"
"Understood, I will let Mr. Zhukov know the General Secretary's painstaking efforts and love." Warevsky looked at the leader he was loyal to, and he really admired him. He was always thinking about some inexplicable little thoughts.
Comparing it with the German heads of state, our leader of the Soviet Union is indeed more reliable.
While Reinhard was thinking about meaningless retaliation, our Soviet leaders were always thinking about regaining people's hearts. With just one sentence, a small division commander was cleared of a huge injustice. Then in the future,
This division commander named Zhukov is not yet loyal to the General Secretary and strives to be loyal to him.

Germany, Berlin Head of State Residence
Ross, who was responsible for this frame-up operation by the Gestapo, was reporting the information sent back by Soviet intelligence personnel to Reinhardt.
Relying on Soviet officials who were bribed with large sums of money during the Soviet-German cooperation, the Gestapo under Ross installed more than 30 Russian spies into the Soviet government. Although their positions were not high, at least they all worked in departments with access to intelligence.
, more or less a lot of information can be sent back.
This time, the intelligence they sent back confirmed the shooting of Soviet Marshal Mikhail Nikolayevich Tukhachevsky and a little man Georgy Konstantinovich Zhukov
notice.
After receiving the news, Reinhard excitedly waved his fist to the ceiling and cheered to Ross, who had a ghostly expression on his face: "The Soviet Union is finished! It's finished! Do you know? They are finished, completely finished.
.........!"
No wonder Reinhard made some incoherent gaffes. Apart from the historical frame-up of Tukhachevsky, only he knew what the success of the new frame-up against Zhukov meant!
15 years! From the moment he first set foot on Soviet soil 15 years ago, Reinhardt made the decision to find ways to kill Stalin's future "firefighter."
For this reason, he fabricated the discord with Zhukov and created the illusion that he hated Zhukov because of trivial matters. He thought that by virtue of his continuous overtures to Stalin over the years, he could make Stalin sell him an "insignificant" favor.
, executed Zhukov, who was still unknown at this time...
Finally, Tukhachevs, who had been thinking about guarding against Germany all day long, was dragged away by the guards of the NKVD in his office.
Zhukov, who was still an unknown division commander in the Belarusian Military Region, was promoted as a confidant by Stalin in advance because of Reinhardt's mistake. After a secret conversation with Varevsky that few people knew about, Zhukov was promoted to commander the next day.
Deputy Commander of the Belarusian Special Military District.
