    Zhukov's face turned red all of a sudden. He was depressed and reluctantly suppressed his inner objections. He said: "Comrade Stalin, the frequent changes of frontline officers are extremely detrimental to the war."

    Stalin turned to face Zhukov and took a step closer, as if he wanted to hear more clearly.  He stared intently at the face of the Chief of General Staff.

    Zhukov continued: "A commander who is too late to familiarize himself with the situation will definitely suffer a huge defeat. Marshal Timoshenko has commanded this front for less than four weeks. Through several battles, he has become familiar with the troops and understands the characteristics of the troops he belongs to.  . He has done his best at his post and has been delaying the enemy's advance in the Smolensk area for nearly a month. I don't think anyone can do a better job than him. The troops trust Marshal Timoshenko, and  This is crucial. I think it is unjust and inappropriate to dismiss him as front commander now."

    Stalin looked at the silent Politburo members with questioning eyes. He meant to ask them to speak.

    Kalinin spoke first: "Maybe Weikov's idea is right."

    "I feel the same way." Molotov supported Kalinin.

    Stalin was silent for a long time, then nodded with great effort and said: "Okay, do we all agree with Zhukov's opinion?"

    That¡¯s how it was decided.  Marshal Timoshenko immediately returned to the front line, and Zhukov returned to the General Staff Headquarters.  Politburo members left.

    Stalin was the only one left in the room. Feeling inexplicably upset, Stalin somehow turned on the radio.

    "Today, a military parade was held as usual in Moscow's Red Square, but this time, in the ruins of the Red Square, those who walked past were no longer the Soviet Red Army, but the heroic soldiers of the Chinese Federal Defense Force and the Russian Liberation Army.  They"

    The Chinese announcer on the radio was broadcasting in Russian the news that the Chinese army had entered Moscow for a military parade.

    Stalin felt an unspeakable sense of shame come over him, and his thin face became distorted because of it.

    In Moscow in June, the sun is shining brightly and the sky is blue.

    Yang Shuoming followed the long and winding queue to "visit" Lenin's tomb.  Slowly climb up the ocher-colored granite steps on the side of Red Square.  Under the shade of tall and green fir trees, there are black marble statues of Lenin on both sides of the cemetery, all of which are broken.

    Not only Lenin¡¯s Mausoleum, but the entire Moscow was turned into rubble under the bombing of Chinese military aircraft for many days.

    Enter the gate of Lenin¡¯s Mausoleum.  Slowly go down the stone steps.  Everyone naturally slowed down their pace, as if they were worried about disturbing the sleeping terrible soul that had entered another world.  Yang Shuoming walked half way around Lenin's crystal coffin with mixed emotions, looking at Lenin's body.

    The man lay peacefully in the crystal coffin, lifelike.  His face looked sallow, his left hand was flat on his chest, and his right hand was slightly raised.

    Is this the great revolutionary mentor that Bolsheviks around the world have long admired?  Is this the all-powerful Lenin who launched the attack on the Winter Palace and sounded the death knell of Kerensky¡¯s Provisional Government?  This is the one with a prominent forehead, a raised moustache, and a slightly forward body.  A small man waving his powerful arms to mobilize the masses of workers and peasants?

    Although it was only a brief glance, it seemed like they had known each other before. Various complex emotions were intertwined together. Yang Shuoming felt as if there was a sense of confusion in time and space, and he finally realized a long-cherished wish.

    Yes, when I was a child, I often heard the teacher tell "The Story of Zoya and Shula". When I was a teenager, I also read "How Steel Was Tempered", "War and Peace", "Anna Karenina"  Later, he studied "State and Revolution", "Materialism and Empirio-Criticism", "Communist Left-wing Infantile Disease" Lenin's name once made him admire, and Lenin's works accompanied him through that unforgivable era

    How could he forget that "the blast of the October Revolution brought Marxism-Leninism to China"!  At this moment, he seemed to hear the gunfire of the cruiser Aurora.  I heard the great teacher's vivid speech to the citizens, and heard the cheers of the workers and peasants like a tide.  This historic scene once filled the people of that fanatical era with infinite power, making their hearts and blood boil with excitement!

    And now, the Chinese are looking back at those pages of seemingly glorious history.  In addition to passion, people seem to have too much reflection, too much melancholy, and too much confusion.  The gunfire of the cruiser Aurora shocked the world on November 7, 1917; on the evening of June 5, 1945, after Yang Shuoming delivered a brief televised speech, the Soviet flag with a sickle and ax on it was raised from the sky over the Kremlin  Take it off quietly.  The history of the Soviet Union as a major socialist country can be said to have come to a surprising end.  This also shocked the worldboundary.

    From the October Revolution in which "all political power returned to the Soviets" to the fall of Moscow today, it has stirred the holy land of the past raging revolution, and at the same time stirred the sensitive nerves of countless politicians and thinkers.  Moscow was once a revolutionary holy land that proletarians around the world longed for. The golden dome of the Kremlin shone brightly to the world, and the blue ribbon-like Moss River once flowed in the hearts of many people.

    The Chinese people have learned to keep their history in mind while moving quickly towards the future.

    The strong contrast between history and reality, glory and gloom, retro and fashion, the merits and demerits of historical figures and the reality of the historical process is so abrupt and so puzzling.  Although the soul of the revolution has disappeared, if you want to clarify those historical suspense and find a clear answer, it is indeed a bitter and very heavy topic.  When Yang Shuoming felt that sacred land with passion and touched the vast land of art with diverse thinking, he couldn't help but remember a famous Russian saying: "Russia is difficult to understand with reason."

    "Russia is indeed a magical land, and the Russian people are indeed great people. He thinks that only the Russian people can understand it through their own demands and practices!"  Remembering is to prevent tragedy from happening again.  People will use reason and actions to comfort the spirit of the great teacher in heaven.

    At this time, everyone at Lenin¡¯s Mausoleum located outside the Kremlin wall in Moscow¡¯s Red Square was surprised by how well-preserved Lenin¡¯s body was: Lenin was lying in the center of the memorial hall 3 meters underground, with his head and hands exposed, under the light.  Under the illumination (which had just been restored for this visit), although Lenin's face was gloomy, he still looked lifelike, causing many people to often doubt whether this was really Lenin.  In addition to being amazed, people expressed admiration for Russia's superb corpse preservation technology.

    "We found a scientist who worked at Lenin's tomb, and he revealed many little-known stories about the preservation of Lenin's body." General Lin Yuying said.

    "Oh?" Yang Shuoming raised his eyebrows slightly.  "What did he reveal?"

    "The scientist's name was Ilya Borisovich Zbarsky, and he was the main scientist involved in the preservation of Lenin's body. His father had been engaged in the preservation of Lenin's body. In January 1943, upon his father's recommendation,  With the approval of the Soviet government committee, Zbarsky, who had not yet graduated from university, was assigned to Lenin's Mausoleum to specialize in corpse preservation."

    "On January 21, 1924, Lenin died in the village of Gork outside Moscow. On the 23rd, Lenin's body was transported to the Pavletsky Railway Station in Moscow and transferred to the Federal Building in the severe cold of minus 28 degrees.  Placed in the Column Hall. On the day of Lenin's death, the Central Committee of the Soviet Communist Party and the Soviet government received more than 1,000 telegrams from all over the country. They requested that Lenin's body be preserved permanently for generations to pay tribute. On the 26th, the Soviet Conference formally approved the adoption of the Central Executive Committee  The resolution decided to build Lenin¡¯s Mausoleum on the side of Red Square and permanently preserve Lenin¡¯s body. On the 27th, the burial ceremony was held in Red Square, and Lenin¡¯s body was placed in a temporary cemetery.¡±

    "Due to being stored at room temperature for a long time, Lenin's corpse has undergone some changes. Black spots and wrinkles appeared on the face and hands, tiny dislocations began to appear on the lips, eyelids, etc., the skin was earthy gray, the ears were shriveled, and the entire body  There were large areas of gray-green body spots on his body and hands. On January 26, Lenin's body was in a 'crisis state', and some experts believe that if immediate measures are not taken, the body preservation plan may be ruined."

    "The Soviet government's special committee also made civilian records after examining the corpse: 'the tip of the nose, mainly the lower surface and the wings of the nose, were slightly pigmented, leathery and thin. The upper eyelids were droopy and the eyeballs were sunken. The eyelids were colored.  In particular, the lower eyelid was severely gray. The lower eyelid cartilage edge of the left eye was deformed, and the eyes were slightly open. The helix was dry and curled inward and forward. On the 26th, experts began emergency treatment of Lenin's body. Experts first used  The inner cavity of the corpse was treated with a solution containing acetic acid and hydrogen peroxide. It was then soaked in formalin solution so that the antiseptic agent could penetrate deep into the skin and bones. One week later, the corpse was immersed in an alcohol solution. After Lenin's corpse was processed  The condition has been greatly improved and the color of the skin has also improved greatly.¡±

    "Russian experts carried out this work under Lenin's cemetery. At that time, the conditions and equipment were very primitive, and the temperature in the work room was close to zero. At the beginning, the staff were not very sure about their anti-corrosion results, so they observed day and night.  Their eyes never left the body for a moment. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief until the corruption was basically under control."

    "After Lenin's tomb was built, it became a holy place throughout the Soviet Union. Thousands of Soviet people from all over the country came here to pay their respects every day. Of course, there were also many 'counter-revolutionaries' who mixed in with the people and tried to cause sabotage.  Activity."

    After hearing this, Lin Yuying said slightly:The words made many people laugh.

    "This shows that not all Russians have been brainwashed." Yang Shuoming nodded.

    "Once, a tourist suddenly rushed out of the crowd while passing by the viewing hall and threw a hammer at Lenin's coffin. The hammer broke the glass on the coffin and hit Lenin's chest. There were also tourists who threw Lenin's coffin twice.  Molotov cocktails were thrown at the corpse, and one bottle hit the coffin and caught fire. Another time, a visitor rushed to the coffin and smashed the glass with his foot. Glass shards fell on the corpse's face, causing damage. Lenin's tomb was forced to  Close for a few days while the carcass is repaired.¡±

    "In the 1930s, a member named Nikki from a collective farm rushed into Lenin's tomb and prepared to shoot Lenin's body. However, he was discovered by security personnel on the spot. The member committed suicide on the spot. After this incident, the Soviet Union gradually  Recognizing the importance of the security of Lenin's tomb, the original ordinary glass coffin was replaced with bulletproof glass, and a security door was also installed at the entrance of Lenin's tomb."

    ¡°In January 1934, on the 10th anniversary of Lenin¡¯s death, the Soviet government also organized a special committee to conduct a comprehensive inspection of the preservation of Lenin¡¯s body. Zbarsky, who was in his final year of university studies, was recommended by his father and approved by the committee.  Entering Lenin¡¯s Mausoleum to work.¡±

    "During this war, Soviet experts once again fully processed Lenin's corpse, greatly improving the degree of embalming. The experts also selected the best filters to allow soft light to shine on the exposed face and hands.  It¡¯s like Lenin came back from the dead.¡±

    ¡°In January 1942, due to insufficient disinfection of the gauze wrapping the corpse, the corpse showed a certain degree of mildew. Soviet experts relied on their years of rich experience to control the spread of bacteria in a timely manner and prevent Lenin¡¯s corpse from decaying.¡±

    "On June 29, the Soviet Government Committee under the leadership of Academician Abrikossov once again conducted a comprehensive inspection of the embalming condition of the body. The conclusion was: 'Lenin's body is in the best condition compared with previous inspections. In the new coffin  . Vladimir Ilyich seems to be sleeping.'"

    "The top leader of the Soviet Union was very happy to see this identification conclusion and decided to reward the experts who made great contributions to the preservation of the leader's body. As a result, Zbarski's father was awarded the title of Hero of Socialist Labor of the Soviet Union and received the Order of Lenin. Zbarski himself also  Received the Red Order of Labor.¡±

    "In terms of confidentiality, Lenin's tomb is no less than the government's nuclear defense facility. Lenin's body is placed in a crystal coffin. The coffin is maintained at a normal temperature of 16 degrees Celsius. It is monitored by instruments in the central control system. The various indices are very accurate, even  Even higher than what the doctor asked for. Lenin's Mausoleum is closed at 1 noon every day. On Mondays and Fridays, Lenin's Mausoleum is closed. This is the time for medical staff to conduct routine inspections. They open the crystal coffin and carefully examine the body.  Finally, a special liquid is applied to the face of the deceased, and then the crystal coffin is resealed. In addition, they need to provide specialized care to the corpse every 18 months. At this time, a special vehicle is used to transport the corpse from the memorial hall.  Go to the nursing room, put it into a pool, and soak it in a specially prepared medicinal solution for a week or two. Then, professionals will change Lenin's clothes, make up, and place the body in a 'sleeping' state. Everything is ready  Afterwards, the body was returned to the viewing hall.¡±

    "Preserving the body is a huge scientific problem. In fact, one month after Lenin's death, the body began to decay rapidly. Soviet scientists were at a loss. Then Professor Zbarsky used his own embalming method to temporarily curb the decay of the body. This time  During the war, Lenin's body withstood the most severe test. At the end of 1943, Lenin's body began to rot again. So one leg and part of Lenin's left limb were amputated and artificial prostheses were installed. Everyone who visited Lenin's tomb  Discovered. Lenin seems to be looking younger."

    "In 1944, in order to prevent being bombed by our army, Stalin ordered Lenin's body to be transported out of Moscow. When Lenin's body was removed from the Lenin Mausoleum, it began to rot again. At this time, Professor Zbarsky offended someone.  A high-ranking official had been sent to the front as cannon fodder. His successor was inexperienced in emergency embalming of corpses, so Stalin agreed with the medical staff to separate the head that had not yet decomposed from the torso. At the same time, he decided to make a mannequin to replace the original body.  body. The operation was quite successful, and Lenin¡¯s torso was cremated and secretly transported back to his hometown for burial. The head was installed on an artificial body. Everything was done so seamlessly that the visitors did not notice it at all.¡±

    "That means that what we see now is actually just a head? Not a whole bacon?" Yang Shuoming understood after hearing this.

    "Yes." Lin Yuying was surprised and funny when she heard that Yang Shuoming actually used the word "bacon" to describe Lenin's body.

    "It's probably very expensive to make such a piece of bacon, right?" Marshal Xu Yuanjin, who accompanied Yang Shuoming, also laughed at Yang Shuoming's "bacon".

    "According to Professor Zbarsky, the cost of maintaining the corpse alone is no less than 1 million rubles every year.  " Lin Yuying said.

    "Do you have to spend so much money?" Xu Yuanjin was surprised.

    "You spend money on this, but you would rather let the people starve to death. This is the so-called superiority of the Bolshevik revolutionary system." Yang Shuoming sneered, "It is clear that people are living in hell, but it can be said to be paradise.  It¡¯s really superior!¡±

    "A lie told a thousand times becomes the truth, that's all." Zhou Guansheng sighed.

    "A lie will always be a lie, and the truth will always be the truth." Chen Gansheng shook his head and said, "Lies will eventually be exposed one day, just like today."

    "The Bolsheviks began in the grave, let it end in the grave!" Yang Shuoming let out a long breath and said.

    "What do Hanzhi plan to do with this piece of bacon?" Xu Yuanjin found the atmosphere a bit dull and joked with a smile.

    "Blow it up." Yang Shuoming thought for a while and said, "Don't leave anything behind, blow it all up."

    "How about keeping this head, taking it back and displaying it as a trophy, and then opening a 'Crimes Hall of Bolshevism' to show to future generations." Chen Gansheng suggested.

    "No, this head must be destroyed specifically, and the ashes can be used as fertilizer. It can be regarded as a useful contribution he made to Russia." Yang Shuoming shook his head and said, "I don't want such bacon in the world. Never."

    ps: "I learned a new term today, it's called "jack". It's not even used as a spare tire, it's just used when changing the tire." "Then, what's even worse is the air pump, which can't even be used to change the tire.  Yes, I stayed with you during the abortion."
