With the support of the White Eagle Kingdom, Sterling gradually became proud. He believed that as long as the Red League was given ten years, he would become one of the best powers in the Eastern Continent. However, Sterling's interest was quickly interrupted. More than a month after the two countries signed the alliance, a man named Kirov was assassinated.

Kirov's real name is Sergei Milonovic Kostrikov. He was born in Urrum of the Red Union. Both his parents died since childhood. He grew up in an orphanage and joined the Buffalo party at the age of 18. Later, he was arrested and imprisoned by the Rakshasa Empire many times because of his participation in the revolutionary movement. Later, Kirov moved to the Caucasus and wrote for liberal newspapers to use the pseudonym Kirov. After participating in the revolution, this pseudonym became the official name that everyone called him, and no one called him the real name.

After the establishment of the Red Union, Kirov quickly became the military commander of the Astrakhamb Party. During the civil war, he fought arduous battles with the Denikins army and achieved many results. Later, because of his firm support for Sterling, he was elected to Bininggrad as the secretary of the state party committee.

After Sterling came to power, Kirov rose to prominence and soon became the first secretary of the Buninggrad Prefecture Committee and the secretary of the Northwest Bureau of the Buning Party Central Committee. After the 1930s, Kirov's popularity became increasingly popular, because of his firm support for Sterling, he was gradually pushed to the position of Secretary of the Party Central Committee, Member of the Central Organization Bureau and Member of the Politburo.

Kirov, whose popularity is rising, was full of complacent. Everyone regarded him as Sterling's future successor. However, at this time, an emergency changed everything. On December 1, 1933, Kirov was assassinated and died in the Smolny Palace in Buninggrad.

The person who shot was named Nikolayev, who was also a member of the Bundesliga Party. He was dissatisfied with the work transfer and believed that Kirov was interfering with it. The police's conclusion was very clear that this was an accidental vendetta, and there was not much conspiracy. However, although Kirov ranked eighth in the party position, he was the person who was most loyal to Sterling and his identity was very sensitive.

Soon another coincidence pushed this matter to a new climax. On the day of Kirov's assassination, the captain Borisov, who was inseparable from him, was soon arrested. He was the person who saw Kirov being assassinated. Cheka quickly controlled Borisov and sent him to Moscow, intending to ask Sterling to interrogate himself, but the car escorted was in a car accident on the way, and Borisov died in a bad life, but surprisingly, no one else in the car was injured.

This was just a coincidence, but it made Sterling, who was already suspicious, completely determine the situation. In his opinion, Kirov's death was an offensive launched by the remnants of Trotsky and a harbinger of overthrowing his rule. He felt the threat of death for the first time.

After finding Kirov died in a conspiracy, Sterling highlighted his decisive and cruel side, and an order that was made a "terror charter" by later historians was issued. Sterling demanded that Kirov's case must be solved as soon as possible and the murderer must be brought to justice. At the same time, such cases must be solved within 10 days, and the case will be executed immediately after the extreme sentence.

In order to maintain his rule, Sterling then launched a nationwide purge, with Yenov, the successor of Derzhinsky, the current helmator of Cheka, as the main executor. This man, who was called "toxic dwarf" or "blood dwarf" by later historians, was an unconditional and ruthless person who was loyal to Sterling. These two traits combined together formed terrible consequences.

At the beginning, Sterling only planned to limit the scope of the purge to the government, focusing on cleaning up political enemies and dissidents to strengthen his authority in the central government. However, under Yenov's apology, the situation quickly lost control. In March 1934, Moscow initiated a lawsuit against 16 defendants of the so-called "Trotsky-Zinoviev Terror Center". Among the defendants, Grigli Zinoviev and Lev Kamenev were one of the important leaders of the Bundesliga Party, and all 16 people were convicted and most of them were executed.

This public trial seemed to set the tone of the movement, and the purge was quickly expanded. A few months later, 17 people, including Carl Radick, were filed again, 13 of whom were sentenced to be shot immediately, and the remaining people were thrown into labor camps, and they all died in the camps.

The purge continued to expand, and the third public trial came soon. The trial meeting against the so-called "Trotsky and the right-wing group" was held again. Although Trotsky had escaped, those close to him were attacked. Including the Third International President Nikola Bukharin, former Prime Minister Alexey Likov, Christian Slekovsky and the former secret police leader Jagda were all among the defendants, and all of them were quickly executed.

The great purge initiated by Sterling caused a whirlwind within the government. Everyone at all levels was in danger, fearing that they would be subject to the purge of Chika. Yenov's activities became increasingly fierce. He began to implement a reporting system within the government, stipulating that if the report was confirmed, the whistleblower would receive a certain reward. If it was concealed and not reported, the same punishment would be received.

After this regulation was issued, the government became even more chaotic, and everyone was afraid of being reported by people around him and suffering unrestrained disasters. Soon someone began to report secretly. After confirming it, the cheka actually gave a generous reward. There was the first one and the second one. The mutual reporting and exposure became more and more serious, and soon became a trend. Many people took private revenge, and many people criticized others in order not to be exposed by others. The government was in panic.

Regarding the chaos caused by the Red League within the country, Minister of Intelligence Qian Zhuangfei was very impressed, but he believed that the scope of the cleaning was not large enough to deal with the Red League. Soon a red action plan was sent to the Military Intelligence Bureau, and Hu Di became the specific implementer of the operation.

As the number one figure of the Military Intelligence Bureau, Hu Di already knew the spies deployed by Cheka in China. He quickly prepared a forged document himself. At a cocktail party, he pretended to violate the routine regulations of the intelligence department and took the forged document. As a result, after being "drunk", he confessed his truth.

Hu Di deliberately pretended to be drunk in front of the Chika spy. Those words that seemed to have leaked secrets after drinking naturally aroused the spy's idea. The spy took the risk of stealing the documents and quickly transferred them back to Moscow with the underground information network.
