After taking Dzerzhinsky out and beating him, Stalin turned his attention to several other people. At this time, everyone present knew in their hearts that if they didn't open their mouths, there would be nothing good to gain when Stalin suppressed him forcefully.
Joseph Stanislavovich Winschlicht, formerly the revolutionary military commissar of the Sixteenth Army, later served as the revolutionary military commissar of the Western Front Army. Because Joseph Stanislavovich Winschlicht was opposing Tolos During the process of the purges, he had a firm political stance and was decisive in dealing with "enemies". He was promoted by Stalin to the position of Vice Chairman of the Anti-Revolutionary Committee, and later served as Vice Chairman of the Revolutionary Military Commission and Deputy People's Commissar of the Navy and Army.
Like Dzerzhinsky, it can be said that Winschlicht's hands are stained with the blood of his comrades, and he is a loyal dog under Stalin. His current prosperity and wealth are all given by Stalin. Once he loses Stalin's trust, he will lose his trust. Winschlicht knew what the outcome would be.
"Comrade Stalin, I have a slightly immature view on the current situation." At this time, Winschlicht could no longer pretend to be deaf and dumb. Such a big thing had happened, and they would not be able to escape today no matter what. , instead of being called out by Stalin like Dzerzhinsky, it is better to take the initiative to stand up. Thinking of this, Winschlicht pretended to have just reacted from deep thought, stood up and said respectfully.
"Comrade Winschlichter, it doesn't matter if your views are immature. The key is to have ideas. As a revolutionary, you are always groping for light in the darkness. This is true of you, and so am I." Stalin saw that someone finally took the initiative to stand up. When he came out, his ice-like face melted slightly.
"Comrade Stalin, your words have benefited us a lot. We are indeed far behind you in terms of revolutionary consciousness" After a small flattery, Winschlicht said: " The current situation is very serious. You must know that we have been prepared on the Soviet-Chinese border for a long time. Not only have we established fortifications, but there are also hundreds of thousands of heroic and invincible Red Army troops guarding our motherland and territory. But! This is exactly what happened after just a few days. In ten hours, the Chinese reactionaries marched in and even reached the Karaganda and Krasnoyarsk areas. Such a great achievement is simply unbelievable. You are all members of the Revolutionary Military Committee. No one is familiar with the war. Strange, even when Tsarist Russia was fighting with the German army, maybe the Germans couldn't do it, right? So after thinking about it, there is only one possibility"
Speaking of this, Winschlichter glanced at Stalin hesitantly.
"Keep talking!" Stalin showed a thoughtful expression and raised his head to signal to Winschlicht.
Winschlicht nodded to Stalin and said with confidence: "According to my judgment, the current situation is not that the Chinese reactionaries are too powerful at all. We know very well what the Chinese people are, although they and Japan a few years ago People fought a war. They also participated in the European War, but in the final analysis, the Chinese reactionaries will never be our Red Army's opponents. There is only one possibility that can cause the current situation, and that is that we have Trotskyist insiders among the frontline troops. It was they who colluded with the Chinese reactionaries, were greedy for life and fearful of death, and betrayed national interests, which led to the great defeat on the front line."
"You mean there are traitors?" Stalin asked with a frown and a pipe in hand.
"Yes, Comrade Stalin." Winschlicht walked to the wall. The curtain hanging on the wall was opened, revealing a huge map inside. He pointed to the breakthrough point and advance route of the Chinese National Defense Forces. He said: ¡°Please see, everyone, since the Chinese government declared war on our great Soviet government last year, our Red Army has made complete defense preparations here, here and here. These fortifications and troop configurations are completely in accordance with the latest European war. Based on solid standards, it can be said that even if faced with an attack by 1 million enemies, our Red Army can definitely hold on for a month. But now it only takes a few dozen hours to fall No! It should be said that from the Chinese opposition forces Judging from the speed of the advance. Our preset defense line has no effect at all. Isn't it strange?"
"Comrade Stalin, I initially agree with Comrade Winschlicht's view!" When Dzerzhinsky heard this below, he couldn't wait to jump out and express his agreement. If Winschlicht's judgment is right, then what happened just now The tasks assigned to him by Stalin were much easier to handle. Even if the judgment was wrong, it was Winschlicht's problem. After all, he added the word "preliminary" before agreeing.
Winschlichter¡¯s words also made other people ¡°emotionally enlightened¡±, yes! The Soviet Red Army was an indestructible force armed with revolutionary spirit. How could it be defeated by the enemy in such a short period of time? Even the Germans, the British and the French couldn't do it. There must be a conspiracy, and so on, that is the traitors and reactionaries in the revolutionary ranks. This can perfectly explain the current situation. reason.
"EmperorNationalism will never die in destroying me! The reactionary forces are determined to destroy me! Damn Trotsky! Damn reactionaries! "Everyone agreed, and Stalin couldn't help but have doubts, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible. He slammed the table with anger and cursed, and everyone else immediately started talking about the reactionaries' shameless conspiracy. After a round of "criticism," Stalin declared with a livid face that the work of purging counter-revolutionaries within the party, government, and military must continue, and that this task would be left to Comrade Winschlichter, who was politically strong and had a keen sense of smell.
After first arranging the political tasks of purifying the party, government and military, Stalin then arranged the military work of blocking the attack of the Chinese reactionaries and destroying the enemy. In his opinion, as long as there were no collusion between traitors and reactionaries within the Bolsheviks, there was no doubt that the enemy's attack could be repelled with the power of the Soviet Red Army. For this reason, he decided to first mobilize 300,000 Red Army troops from the Orenburg area to reinforce the front line, and cooperate with the Red Army troops in Karaganda and Krasnoyarsk areas to block the Chinese attack. At the same time, another 500,000 troops will be mobilized from Ukraine, Belarus, Lithuania and other regions to devour the invading enemy in one fell swoop. Then they will launch a major counterattack along the offensive route of the Chinese reactionaries and directly hit the Chinese soil to give the other side some color.
The tone of the military meeting was quickly set under the auspices of Stalin, although some people reminded Stalin during the meeting to prevent the Chinese reactionaries from continuing to advance northward and thus threatening Fu Zhilong's front retreat. To be on the safe side, should Fu Zhilong's troops retreat appropriately to the west to ensure overall stability?
Stalin immediately rejected this suggestion. In his opinion, the Chinese reactionaries are nothing more than paper tigers. As long as his Red Army has no worries, it can defeat them. What's more, this time the angry Stalin deployed almost 1 million troops to deal with the Chinese attack. What does such a powerful force have to worry about? The days of defeat for the Chinese reactionaries are numbered. Once the Chinese are defeated, it will be the turn of the puppet government in the Far East. Frunze's troops, as the vanguard to complete the reunification of the motherland, must not be easily mobilized, and the failure of the Chinese on the battlefield will inevitably cause panic to the puppet government in the Far East. In this way, victory on the Eastern Front is just around the corner.
