Transmigrated as the Crown Prince

Chapter 650: The German-Soviet War (7)

Pavlov felt a faint sense of uneasiness in his heart. If this was really a trap for the Germans to lure the enemy deeper, then the hundreds of thousands of troops who had already broken through the German defense lines and penetrated deep into the hinterland might suffer fatal losses at any time. The Soviet Union had painstakingly accumulated these for many years. If there is any loss to the elite troops that we only have, Comrade Stalin will never spare him lightly.

But what if these weird German defensive positions are just a coincidence? What if they can be bulldozed tomorrow?

After hesitating for a long time, Pavlov could not make up his mind and asked the political commissar on the side. "Comrade Political Commissar, what do you think?"

"..." The political commissar couldn't help rolling his eyes. You, the commander in charge of military affairs, are asking me? He didn't dare to give any random opinions on such a big matter. "How about we ask the Kremlin for instructions first?" Comrade Stalin decides whether to advance or retreat. Even if something goes wrong in the future, he can relieve himself of part of the responsibility and not make himself too passive.

Pavlov also thought this was a good idea and immediately sent a telegram to the Kremlin.

At this time, Stalin was worried about the orphan of Nicholas II, Princess Anastasia, whom Yannick had found. "Has this matter been cleared up?!"

Beria shook his head carefully. "Comrade Stalin, I checked and found out that those who participated in the execution of Nicholas II and his family were murdered one after another in the following years. Now we can't even find out how they disposed of the remains of Nicholas II and his family. arrive."

Starling frowned and silently picked up the pipe. After taking a few puffs of cigarette, he suddenly cursed hard. "How stupid!"

Beria did not dare to express his anger, but he vaguely felt that Comrade Stalin was not scolding him, but Comrade Ulyanov.

As far as he knew, Comrade Ulyanov initially planned to publicly try the Tsar in accordance with customary and normal procedures, but the harsh civil war situation made him change his mind.

The Russian White Army has been looking for the whereabouts of the Tsar. The Tsar's family is the best bargaining chip for the Russian White Army to restore imperial power. They can quickly gather the support of many European countries and royalist forces to confront the Red Army. As long as the Tsarist family remains alive, other European royal families will support the establishment of a government-in-exile, which will greatly hinder the legitimacy of the red regime.

In mid-July 1918, the secret police guarding the Tsar received an order to shoot the entire Tsar's family. Their bodies were doused with sulfuric acid and gasoline and destroyed, and their remains were buried in an abandoned cave in the Yekaterinburg area.

This news shocked Europe. No one expected that a generation of tsar was killed without even a public trial.

In European history, only Britain and France executed kings during revolutions, but Britain only executed an individual king, and France only executed kings and queens, and all executions of kings were subject to trial. Even Napoleon, who severely damaged the entire Europe, was not punished with ax after his defeat, but was simply exiled.

As the emperor of Russia, Nicholas II was killed in the wilderness without trial. This behavior was too barbaric. The five children who were killed together with their father were all very young. The youngest Crown Prince Alexey was only 14 years old at this time and were not yet adults. However, these five princes and princesses failed to escape in the end.

This made the favorability of European countries towards the new country of the Soviet Union directly become negative.

This act of killing with no political bottom line not only destroyed Russia's status as the European military police of the Holy Monarchy Alliance, but also opened a Pandora's box of European countries trying to push each other's political limits. Even when World War I was going on, European countries sent troops to intervene in Soviet Russia. First, the Allies directly invaded Soviet Russia under the pretext of preventing German invasion and protecting the interests of expatriates, and provided weapons and financial assistance to the rebels in Soviet Russia; secondly, Germany and the Ottoman Empire signed the "Brest-Litovsk Peace Treaty" with the Soviet Union They also violated the treaty and sent troops to invade and occupy Crimea and the South Caucasus; finally, Poland, a newly independent country, also directly sent troops to attack Soviet Russia.

However, this kind of intervention had no effect in the end. Red Russia gained a firm foothold and began to infiltrate red into Europe and Asia. This made European countries feel like they were facing a formidable enemy.

In the 1930s, in order to attack the Soviet Union, Britain and France continued to strengthen Germany. To this end, they pursued a policy of appeasement, sacrificing the interests of small countries, and even betrayed their own ally Poland. Even small countries between the Soviet Union and Germany (such as Poland) were hostile to the Soviet Union. The country's wariness and hostility far exceeded that of Germany, and more of its defense forces were concentrated on the Soviet Union. And even when Germany launched war against European countries and caused great damage, during the most intense period of the Soviet-German battlefield, European countries (mainly Britain at this time) were still wary of the Soviet Union.

After smoking a pot of cigarettes, Starling asked. "What do you think the witness evidence mentioned by the German Crown Prince is?"

Cold sweat broke out on Beria's forehead, and his back was instantly soaked with sweat. He knew that the "witness evidence" Stalin mentioned was the German Crown Prince's statement that Comrade Ulyanov died at the hands of Stalin. Moreover, the German Crown Prince is confident that he will be able to obtain these evidence witnesses soon.

He carefully wiped the sweat from his face and said in an extremely firm tone. "That's just despicable slander from imperialism!"

Beria was only 25 years old when Comrade Ulyanov died. He was serving as chairman of the General Security Service in Georgia and was unaware of these secrets.

However, he knew that Comrade Stalin once took out his anger on Lenin's wife, Krupskaya, because of political disagreements, and abused her rudely on the phone. When Lenin found out, he wrote a letter of renunciation to Stalin. However, Stalin was already in power at that time and didn't care much.

Shortly after Lenin's death, Stalin first drove Krupskaya out of Gork Village and dismissed all the servants around her. Krupskaya was reduced from a young and beautiful noblewoman to a Village girl. Later, he died of intestinal thrombosis on his birthday. Some people say that on Krupskaya’s birthday, someone brought a big cake from Stalin. After tasting the cake, Krupskaya suddenly felt very uncomfortable and even lost consciousness. The doctor who was called in ordered her to be transferred to the Kremlin hospital, where she died.

There were rumors at the time that Krupskaya was planning to publicly criticize Stalin at a conference and announce Lenin's will; only then was she assassinated. Of course, anyone who said these words was dealt with by Beria.

Just when Beria's nervous calves were about to tremble, he heard Stalin saying extremely seriously. "We must strictly guard against anyone using this to spread rumors and cause trouble."

Beria immediately raised his chest and raised his head and assured loudly. "Please rest assured, I promise this will never happen!"

At this time the secretary sent a telegram. "Comrade Stalin, this is a message from Comrade Commander Pavlov at the front."

Stalin took the telegram and glanced at it, raising his eyebrows slightly. "Oh? Breaking through two German defense lines? Pavlov is quite capable." This achievement was completely beyond his expectations. After all, with the experience of the Finnish War, I thought it would take several months to break through the German defenses. Unexpectedly, it took only one day to break through the two lines of defense of the German army. It is simply incredible.

But after reading the entire telegram, Stalin's brows furrowed together, as if they were tied into a knot and twisted into a rope. "Pavlov, this idiot, can't he see that this is a German trap?! Send an order for Pavlov to withdraw all troops immediately, quickly!!"
