As another new offensive is about to be launched, major military commanders and civilians from all sides have been sent out generally, so the Kremlin now looks particularly quiet in the early morning. Chu Sinan did not even see a familiar figure from the Kremlin gate.

"General," Finally, outside the door of Tukhachevsky's office, Chu Sinan met a relatively familiar person. Tukhachevsky's guard. When he saw him appear, he quickly came up and said after giving him a military salute, "When did you come back? Why didn't you say hello in advance?"

Influenced by Baditsky's words just now, Chu Sinan was in a very heavy mood at this time. If it were in the past, he would always make fun of the young man in front of him, but today he no longer has that leisure.

"I'm back in a hurry, and there's no time to say hello," Chu Sinan looked at the door of Tukhachevsky's office and asked, "Is Comrade Tukhachevsky here?"

"Here came early in the morning," the guard saw Chu Sinan's worry-prone look, and he said tactfully, "This morning, the little guy woke up very early, and he kept making trouble, but he refused to sleep anymore, so Comrade Tukhachevsky didn't sleep for a while. Well, does the general have any urgent matters? Do you want me to inform you?"

The appearance of the three words "little guy" made Chu Sinan feel a little bit happy. It was his child. However, since Sumi gave birth to this pair of children, their parents have been deprived of the right to take care of their children. Tukhachevsky and others have adopted absolute autocracy on the issue of who cares for their children. Therefore, they spend much more time with their children than Chu Sinan.

"No, I'll go in by myself," Chu Sinan thought for a while, shook his head and said, "You go and do your business."

"Okay general," said the guard nodded. In the Kremlin, perhaps others need to inform them when entering Tukhachevsky's office. But Chu Sinan and the old coaches at the time never had this habit. What they were used to was to break in directly.

Chu Sinan said nothing anymore. He took a step and walked straight towards the office door.

"Knock"

The dull knock on the door sounded under Chu Sinandi. Soon, Tukhachevski's sound that seemed extremely weak came out through the door.

"Come in."

Pushing open the door gently, Chu Sinan stepped into the office he was familiar with.

The light in the room was a little dim, and in this slightly dark space, Tukhachevsky, dressed in casual clothes, sat behind the wide desk, slightly tilted his body, and his thoughtful eyes quietly projected outside the spacious large floor-to-ceiling window not far away.

"You're back." Without turning your head, he didn't even look at the door. Tukhachevsky said in a plain tone, as if he could tell who walked into his office from the sound of footsteps.

"Well, I just came back this morning," Chu Sinan took off his hat and hung it on the hanger at the door with the thick military coat. "This snow in Moscow is really big. If it weren't for this snow, I would have come back yesterday."

"Moscow has never lacked wind and snow in winter, but only in this way can it best temper people's will," Tukhachevsky turned his head, looked at Chu Sinan, and said in a gentle tone, "Everything has two sides, and the same is true for wind and snow. It brings us a lot of unnecessary trouble, but it also brings us a lot of advantages. The ongoing war can well illustrate this."

"Yes," Chu Sinan nodded and agreed with Tukhachevsky's words.

"Sit," said Tukhachevsky, "It's been nearly a month since the separation, and I see you have cleared a lot. Alas, if there is no difficulty in the war on the Eastern Front, there is no need to work so hard. It is very important to take good care of your health."

Chu Sinan didn't say anything. He slowly walked to the opposite side of Tukhachevsky, reached out and pulled the chair away, and then sat down.

"I'm sorry, Mikhail, I disappointed you." After sitting down, Chu Sinan looked at the marshal opposite him, who was like a big brother, and was silent for a long time before sighing.

"Why do you say sorry?" Tukhachevsky's mouth smiled and said, "As a soldier, I'm sorry, this sentence should never be expressed at any time. All we need is responsibility. Be responsible for our own decisions, for war, for victory, for defeat, and for defeat, and in this case, I'm sorry has no weight."

Chu Sinan nodded. He understood what Tukhachevsky said, and when he made that decision, he had already had this awareness. He was responsible for his actions.

"Chu," Tukhachevsky raised his head slightly, looked at the carved ceiling on the top of the office, and after thinking for a while, he said, "Do you know, I've been in a difficult situation these days. In my memory, I have never been so difficult to make a decision."

"Oh?" Chu Sinan vaguely realized something. He was sure that what Tukhachevsky said must have something to do with him Chu Sinan.

"As a soldier, the thing that I hate most in my life is my personal centralized autocracy. The reason I had fallen out with Stalin was because of this. I once said that through a series of changes, the power originally concentrated in the Supreme Command was returned to the Politburo. In the future, the Politburo and the Supreme Soviet Congress will decide all important affairs of the country." Tukhachevsky ignored Chu Sinan's reaction and continued, "But now, I suddenly realized that my idea seemed a bit unrealistic, because just two days ago, I myself first violated the original decision."

Throwing a pack of cigarettes on the table in front of Chu Sinan, Tukhachevsky signaled him to be casual, and then continued: "At the meeting the day before yesterday, one of my proposals was opposed by Yakil and the others. Haha, do you want to know what the proposal is about?"

Chu Sinan shook his head. He felt that he had no need to know. Without asking, Tukhachevsky's proposal must be related to him, and it is very likely to be about inheriting the Kremlin leadership.

"I suppressed Yakir and their suggestions. Although their opinions represent the tendency of the majority." Tukhachevsky nodded and said, "It is very authoritarian. Even unreasonable, and there is no democracy at all. This is what I think of myself at that time. Alas, I have to admit that for the long-term interests of the country, sometimes some people have to appear more authoritarian, and at that time, democracy had to bow to reality."

Chu Sinan still didn't speak. He knew that at this time he had no need to say anything. It was the best choice to prick up his ears and listen. In front of him was Tukhachevsky, the only remaining marshal in the Lenin era. And Chu Sinan, after all, was a junior.

"It must be admitted that in the past few days, I have done more things that go against my wishes than in the past few decades." Tukhachevsky sighed, "Our seven old friends, including Yakil, will announce their retirement in the next four months. They will resign from all positions in the party, government and military, and return to their hometowns to retire."

"What?!" Chu Sinan finally exclaimed and lost his voice.

Perhaps it was not until this time that Chu Sinan truly felt how much Tukhachevsky was concerned about taking over the Kremlin. At the same time, he finally realized how decisive the old marshal used once he made up his mind. How could this matter be simple for seven old marshals, including Yakil, retired? What kind of interest does this contain? Even a blind man can see it.

There is no doubt that in the Supreme Command, as long as the old commanders such as Yakir are still there, Chu Sinan will be recognized by most institutions, including the Politburo. Even if Tukhachevsky dies in the future and the power of the Kremlin is handed over to others, as long as these old commanders are still there, Chu Sinan's turnaround will be easy. If young generals such as Baditsky represent young and strong forces in the military, then Yakir and others represent conservative forces. Young and strong people dare to fight, but their strength is instable. Although conservatives are conservative, they are often strong people compared to young and strong people. At the same time, these people often occupy high positions and are all key figures who make the turn of hands and turn the rain. And Yakir and others are exactly like this.

There is no doubt that if Tukhachevsky did not solve the problem of Yakil and others before the transfer of power, then once he passed away, no matter who took over the position of the first leader of the Soviet party and the country, this position would probably not be reliable. When these people united, they could easily overthrow a government. Of course, unless this person was Chu Sinan.

As one of the old coaches at that time, Tukhachevsky obviously saw this clearly. He wanted to clear obstacles for his successors, so forcing Yakil and others to retire when he could still take charge of the overall situation became the only choice.

"I was implicated by them," Chu Sinan smiled bitterly after understanding the key issues, lit a cigarette for himself again, took a deep breath and said, "And the burden they were affected is actually worthless, both for me and for Mikhail. If you want to eliminate the threat from me, just clear me away, and there is no need to touch them."

"You're right, Chu," Tukhachevsky stood up and walked tremblingly to the large floor-to-ceiling window not far away. ￣￣ tortured by illness for a long time. His body has been urged to collapse. It has to be admitted that to this day, it is a miracle that he can still sit here and deal with the cumbersome state affairs under the pain.

"I did have this plan at the beginning," Tukhachevsky's words continued, "The moment you violated your order, I thought of taking you from your current position, which is indeed a one-time solution. However, I can't do this. Judging from your approach to dealing with the Japanese bacterial army, I understand one thing, you are a Chinese, and you will always be a Chinese. You have the emotions of Chinese people, the love, hate, and hatred of Chinese people, and these emotions will always be throughout.

With your philosophy and in all aspects, and even in handling national affairs, I honestly appreciate your behavior. You should know that in that situation, if someone else had changed, he might have another way, rather than a cold risk like you, to show his true nature. But then again, appreciation is appreciation, as a decision-maker in the country's major policy, there are many things I cannot make decisions based on my preferences. You should be able to understand this, right?"

Chu Sinan nodded silently. He knew that Tukhachevsky's words were very real and could be said to be heart-warming. If it were Stalin in the past, Chu Sinan would probably have no chance to sit here today.

"Although for various reasons, I cannot allow you to inherit my position and become the next person in power in the Kremlin, I cannot deprive you of the treatment you should enjoy for these reasons. Otherwise, it will not only be unfair to you, but will also make many people who have made great contributions to this war. Especially importantly, I do not know whether my decisions are truly correct." Tukhachevsky said, "From now on, what Yakil and the others said make sense. In the current Kremlin, there is indeed no one who can inherit my position more than you. This war ongoing will undoubtedly make you feel bad in China for a while.

The momentum of the military, you are leading our Red Army from extreme decline, defeat to rising and winning general; politically, the breaking of Stalin's autocratic situation has also played an important role; in the wartime economy, the reason why our domestic production can reach this point today is also closely related to your efforts, as Comrade Migoyan said, if you had not appeared, he would have been worried about the short supply of the army. It is precisely based on these issues that Yakil and his friends firmly believe that once my decision is implemented, our Soviet regime will face a huge change. I admit that, and I am under heavy pressure for this."

"Oh," sighed deeply, Tukhachevsky walked to the northwest corner of the office, where a wooden cradle was placed very prominently, "I tried to find someone around me who could replace you, Comrade Konev, this is my choice now. I think if I could give me a certain amount of time to operate, he should be able to win the country to a certain extent. But a new problem has emerged, that is, Comrade Konev and you, to be precise, unlike us, he is ambitious. He is different from us, unlike him.

, He has a strong desire to possess and is jealous. Although he has covered up well in this regard, he cannot escape my eyes, and also Yakir and his eyes. We all do not doubt that once he enters the Kremlin, the first thing we will do next is to turn the gun to deal with you. Yakir and his friends unanimously claimed that my decision now is to follow the mistakes of Comrade Lenin back then, and the ultimate consequence is to create another Stalin and another Trotsky."

Chu Sinan remained silent. He listened quietly to Tukhachevsky's words, but he was thinking about a question in his mind, that is, how much impact did Lenin, who had long passed away, have had on Tukhachevsky's follower.

Tukhachevsky's words today reflect the great weakness he should not have in the position of a leader, that is, indecisiveness, especially when it comes to choosing an heir, he is hesitant and rude. For ordinary people, rudeness may be an advantage, but for the owner of the Kremlin, this is an absolutely undesirable disadvantage.

There is no doubt that after rejecting the choice of Chu Sinan as his successor, Tukhachevsky turned his attention to Konev. At the same time, he did not like Konev, and even worried that after he ascended the throne, Chu Sinan would fall into a desperate situation. In this case, the pressure mentioned by Tukhachevsky was obvious. He wanted to achieve a win-win goal: that is, let Konev take over his position, and at the same time, he could find a way to protect himself for Chu Sinan.

This idea seems good, but in fact it is extremely unrealistic. As the saying goes, there is no day, and two tigers cannot be accommodated in one mountain. In the competition for political power, there is never a good thing about the best of both worlds. As the two sides of the power struggle, in the end, one person will fall down forever as the loser. Although this is a bit cruel, it is an undisputed reality.

Now, based on his indecisive character, Tukhachevsky is thinking about a way to achieve the best of both worlds, with only one consequence, that is, a hundred years later, a chaotic power struggle in the Kremlin.

Tukhachevsky could not see this, but now he is going to be a big deal. What does that mean? This only means that the relationship between him and Chu Sinan is too deep, so he has lost his sense of responsibility when facing the important issue of Chu Sinan's safety.

Chu Sinan was very moved. Really, he was really moved. However, no matter how moved he was, he did not expect to retreat on certain issues. ￣￣ Fight for the dominance of the Kremlin. Although it was inconsistent with Tukhachevsky's wishes, and even if there might be more blood and fighting along this road, he still had to go on. This was decided when he just entered the Kremlin. He did not do it for himself, but for those who were optimistic about him and put all their capital on him, he would also go on this road.
