    Bukharin's performance at the Politburo meeting made Stalin very angry. He never thought that he had promoted a white-eyed wolf to the Politburo.  It seems that the people around me are not reliable, and the power must be firmly in my own hands.  If you don't give these people some color, they won't agree to your reform plan. In this case, you can only wake up the people and let them know that failure to reform will lead to death.

    After Stalin made up his mind, he dialed a number: "I am Stalin. Comrade Menzhensky please come to the Kremlin to see me."

    Vyacheslav Menzhensky was the director of the State Political Security Service, the predecessor of the famous KGB.

    Menzhinsky received a call from Stalin and felt that his headache was coming back.  Since Lenin's death, Stalin became the country's first leader, and he had frequent headaches.  In June this year, his predecessor Dzerzhinsky died of a heart attack at a public meeting. As Dzerzhinsky's friend and close comrade-in-arms, he knew that Stalin had already taken action against the OGPU.  Although he was a good friend of Dzerzhinsky, his personality was completely different from that of Dzerzhinsky.

    Dzerzhinsky was extremely energetic and had his own distinct opinions on politics, theory, and economic construction. He was neither liked by Lenin nor Stalin.  Although both leaders disliked him, his status in the Soviet Union remained high.  Although Menzhensky was weak, he worked hard and always followed the leader regardless of enemies.  With a swollen face, he dragged his sick body and carried a heavy suitcase, walking behind Lenin who was in high spirits and as if no one else was around.  With a tired look on his face, he directed his men to arrest enemies from all walks of life identified by Stalin.

    This is also the reason why Stalin was able to tolerate him continuing to be in charge of the State Political Security Service. In Menzhensky¡¯s memory, Stalin only saw him alone three times, and each time there were important things.  He didn't know what happened this time. Even though his men all had unique skills and abilities, he still didn't know what happened at the Politburo meeting.

    Come to Stalin¡¯s office in the Kremlin.  The portrait of Lenin facing him was staring at him. He didn't know how Stalin faced Lenin's portrait every day when he entered the office.  Such thoughts flashed through Menzhensky's mind, and his eyes did not stop at Lenin's portrait.

    "What do you think of the current situation?" Stalin asked Menzhensky to sit down.  He asked straight to the point.

    Menzhensky was stunned for a moment when Stalin asked: "Are you talking about the domestic situation or the situation abroad?"

    "The domestic situation, the situation of the opposition. The people's reaction to this war." Stalin looked at Menzhinsky and said three phrases.

    "The domestic situation is now very stable. Although the opposition has made some moves, they can no longer make a big difference. Regarding" Menzhensky began to answer Stalin's question.

    ¡°Where is Bukharin?¡± Stalin interrupted Menzhensky rudely and asked.

    "He has been normal recently, and my men have found no abnormalities." Menzhensky was a little surprised by the name Stalin said. This was one of Stalin's most trusted people.

    "He opposed my suggestion at today's Politburo meeting. I want to know why this happened? And no matter how the people react, I want them to know that the failure of this war was because of the military.  The failure of reforms and the backward industrial system of our country are caused by this. I have no doubt about the love of the people for the Soviets. This emotion should be transformed into the enthusiasm for building the Soviets. If the shock caused by this failure is not big enough, I can give up.  The entire Far East." Stalin said coldly.

    Menzhensky didn¡¯t know what to say after hearing Stalin¡¯s words. As the head of the secret service, he knew many things that others didn¡¯t know.  If Stalin really gave up the Far East in order to be able to implement his own policies.  Then he's just downright terrifying.

    "The Far East is actually just a conceptual thing for us. Of course, the existence of Vladivostok once had a great influence on certain aspects of the country. Now this influence is getting smaller and smaller, because our Soviet and this  The world seems out of place. If I could give up the Far East in exchange for the strength of the Soviet Union, I would be happy to do it. As for territory, as long as we have strong strength. I don¡¯t think it will be difficult to get back the Far East or even more places.  Isn¡¯t that what Russia did decades ago? What¡¯s more, I¡¯m talking about what if.¡± Seeing that Menzhinsky didn¡¯t speak, Stalin rarely opened his mouth to explain.

    "Don't worry, I know what to do." Menzhensky accepted Stalin's explanation and said.

    "That's good. This matter must be dealt with as soon as possible. I don't want anyone to veto my proposal at the next meeting." Stalin showed a smile.? said.

    Bukharin knew that Stalin was already dissatisfied with him. He did not expect that Stalin would dispatch the State Political Security Bureau, but he still decided to explain to Stalin.

    Stalin affirmed Bukhalin¡¯s work and believed that it was normal to have disagreements at work. He asked Bukhalin not to take it to heart.

    Bukharin walked out of Stalin's office happily, feeling that he had passed this level.

    Zhang Anle only stayed in Harbin for two days. After briefly allocating the defense of the troops, he transferred the direct divisions, the 14th and 15th divisions to the south.  It¡¯s time to end the war in the south. I wonder if it can be completed before the National Day on October 10th.

    It was not Zhang Anle¡¯s whim to end the war in one month. He believed that the current National Defense Force has this strength.  The elite of the Northern Expeditionary Army can now be said to be exhausted. Only the First Army is relatively complete. They are currently fighting Sun Chuanfang's troops in Fujian.  It would be strange if the battle with the defeated remnants of the Northern Expeditionary Army lasted another three to five months.

    On September 6, Zhang Anle came to Wuchang to attend the upcoming pre-war meeting.

    "The Commander-in-Chief is here!" Hou Weidong walked into the conference room first and announced loudly.

    With a crash, everyone who was sitting pulled out their chairs and stood up.

    "Hello, Commander-in-Chief!"

    "Haha, hello everyone, please take a seat." Zhang Anle smiled and waved to everyone, and he took the lead.

    "Is everyone here?" Zhang Anle looked at everyone and asked with a smile.

    "Go back to the Commander-in-Chief, everyone is here." Timxinge replied.

    "Then let's get started." Zhang Anle opened his notebook and looked like he was listening carefully.

    "You have gathered us here today to study the next battle plan." Timuxinge looked around at everyone here. He is presiding over the meeting today: "This month, Commander Sun's war in Fujian has not achieved the results originally planned. Chiang Kai-shek  We voluntarily abandoned Hunan and withdrew our troops to the Hunan-Jiangxi border to build fortifications. We easily occupied Hunan. The war in the north was now over. The commander-in-chief transferred the direct divisions and the 14th and 15th divisions to Hankou and Jiujiang.  In this way, our deployed troops in Hunan, Hubei, and Jiangxi have reached 9 divisions and 100,000 troops. Including Commander Sun's troops, there are a full 200,000 troops. After this period of rest and recuperation, the enemy's troops also number about 200,000.  , their troops are now scattered in Jiangxi and Fujian provinces. Three of them have more than 60,000 troops in Fujian, and the remaining troops are in Jiangxi. Most of them are concentrated near Nanchang and Wanxian, southern Jiangxi.  Tao¡¯s defenses are relatively weak.¡±

    "In view of this situation, my plan is as follows: Our nine divisions will attack Jiangxi in three directions: north, middle and south. The north route will attack Nanchang from the 14th, 15th and Commander Jiang's two divisions.  ! The 1st and 4th Divisions of the South Road set out from Hengyang via Chaling and went southeast to capture Ganxian County and Gannan Road. The 16th Division and the 23rd Division of the Middle Road left Changsha and passed through Liuyang to attack Pingxiang and Ji'an to capture Luling Road.  . The directly affiliated division is in Yueyang as a reserve force to provide support at any time. If you have any opinions on this plan, please feel free to mention it." Timxinge stated his battle plan.

    "I have an opinion." As soon as Timuxinge finished speaking, Zhang Qifeng stood up, "Why do we need our directly affiliated divisions to serve as reserves? The losses of the 14th and 15th Divisions in the Northeast are both very large. I think we should  Let these two divisions serve as reserves."

    Zhang Qifeng was unhappy because he was unable to fight in the Northeast. When he heard that he was asked to serve as a reserve soldier, he decided not to do so.

    "This is an order, sit down!" Timxinge immediately said with a downcast face.

    "The person Zhang Qifeng is most afraid of in the National Defense Force, apart from Zhang Anle, is Tiemu Xinge. He is afraid of Zhang Anle because of the system settings and loyalty.  As for Timuxinge, he has always been Zhang Qifeng's boss, so he can naturally tame this stubborn donkey.

    Hearing what Timuxinge said, Zhang Qifeng sat down sadly, not saying anything but feeling very unhappy in his heart.

    As for other people, they don¡¯t feel anything wrong with this plan. After all, the strength of the enemy and ours is now very close, and we even have an advantage.  As long as Sun Chuanfang doesn't hold back, it will be easy to win Jiangxi.

    "I agree with the chief of staff's battle plan, but I would like to remind everyone that the enemy is at the end of the road, so don't underestimate the enemy. Today is September 6, and one month will be the 15th anniversary of the founding of the Republic of China. I am preparing for ten  A military parade will be held on the fifth anniversary. I hope you can catch up with the military parade on the fifteenth anniversary. If everyone has no objections, then go ahead with this plan." Seeing that everyone was silent, Zhang Anle raised his head and said.

    ¡°Yes!¡± Everyone responded in unison.

    ?After the meeting, Zhang Anle was in a daze in the temporary office.  Jiangxi, Fujian, Guangxi, and Xinjiang are currently the only four provinces that are not under control. If Jiangxi and Fujian are leveled, Guangxi will be defeated without attacking, and Xinjiang does not know what the situation is now.  (This websitecom your support is my greatest motivation.)
