Chapter 24 The Nineteenth National Congress of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union
The "ideological transformation" plan advocated by Chu Sinan in the occupied areas is cruel in the implementation process.
com In Japan after the war, especially in the Soviet-occupied areas, it implemented absolute military control. In this environment, the Japanese were second-class citizens, and no one enjoyed any form of political rights. The right to vote and the right to be elected was simply a luxury for them. Not only that, in terms of the legal system, people in the Soviet-occupied areas could not enjoy the power to defend themselves. In this case, it is conceivable what the process of implementing the "ideological transformation" plan will be implemented.
Similarly, the subsequent impact of the "ideological transformation" plan was also significant. From the end of World War II to the time when the Soviet-occupied areas were combined with the Chinese-occupied areas in 1960, the division pattern between North and South Japan was officially formed. Due to the twenty-year "ideological transformation" of the Soviet Union in northern Japan, generations of Japanese people went from being forced to taking it naturally later to taking it for granted in the end, which was equivalent to fully accepting the things instilled by the Soviets. Later, North and South Japan criticized each other for some ideological and historical issues. That scene was no different from the North and South Korea in Chu Sinan's memory.
However, for Chu Sinan, the division between the north and the south and Japan happened to be what he wanted to see. What else can a country with weak power and poor resources do after it is divided into two?
Therefore, after the Tokyo Conference, Chu Sinan felt that he had put down a long-thoughtful thought. One of the disaster stars in East Asia was wiped out, not to be precise, it was divided up, so that at least in the next half century or even longer, the situation in East Asia will become much calmer. However, at this time, Chu Sinan obviously forgot another question, that is, will the Korean War, which once caused a sensation all over the world, still break out as scheduled?
Just as the war on the Eastern Front was about to end, millions of Soviet troops were waiting for the German battlefield far away in Europe. They looked down at the city of Berlin, ready to launch the last and most fierce attack on the old enemies in the city.
Unlike Chu Sinan, in the eyes of most Soviet people, the war in Europe was obviously more important. For them, there might be some gaps between the Soviet Union and Japan. Although the Russo-Japanese War and the later conflict in the Soviet Union made the Soviet Union have no favoritism for Japan, they did not have any hatred. However, the problem in Germany was not the case. The losses suffered by the Soviet Union for several years were not only economic, but tens of millions of citizens died in the war. The hatred contained in this could not be summarized with just a thigh.
Therefore, when the news that the Soviet Red Army was about to launch a tough battle against Berlin came, the whole Soviet Union was in full swing. During this period, although Chu Sinan was in Japan, all major newspapers in the Soviet Union focused their reports on the Eastern Front. However, this did not affect the enthusiasm of the Soviet citizens to pay attention to the Western Front. At the end of December, as Chu Sinan returned from Tokyo to Moscow, he began to pay attention to the Western Front War. News from all aspects also began to come through newspapers and radio.
In fact, more than a week before Chu Sinan returned to Moscow, the last large-scale battle on the Western Front battlefield had already broken out. As Chu Sinan's wife and the first secretary of the Soviet National Security Council, Gilnilova flew to Zberg, the location of the Soviet Front Command, instead of her husband, and personally issued an order to launch the first phase of the general attack.
This is a tough battle without any skills. From the beginning of the battle, every confrontation between the Soviet and German armies could almost be called a desperate battle. As the attacking side, the Belarusian First and Second Front Army, which were responsible for launching the first round of offensives, launched fierce assaults to the suburbs of Berlin from the east, north and south.
As the direct commanders of this battle, whether it was Zhukov, Meletskov, or Rokosovsky, they all knew that this was the last battle. In this battle, it was completely unnecessary to continue to delay in order to preserve their strength, and it was also unnecessary to cherish ammunition. Therefore, from the first time of the battle, the Soviet artillery, which was definitely the best in the world, showed no mercy and no stinginess, and pushed the shells one after another to the cannon.
The chambers made them fall to the German positions in a creepy scream. In the entire Soviet-German war, the Soviet armored soldiers, who performed poorly, also showed their sharp fangs. The front of the German defensive position hundreds of kilometers from the Nice River to the East Odd River, were surrounded by rolling dust and smoke, and tank destroyers were everywhere. The Soviet armored troops formed by the army, bravely advanced with a large number of infantrymen, and rampantly scattered on the ruined German positions.
Sadly, the German army, which was once known for its blitzkrieg and rapid advancement of armored troops, had already reached dusk at this time. The Third Armored Army of Mantofir, as the main combat force of the German defense line of the Nice River, had only had a pitiful 127 tanks. Even these more than 100 tanks still had problems such as frequent failures and insufficient fuel. However, on the front, there were two well-equipped Soviet armies with sufficient supplies. With more than 100 damaged tanks, the battle was defeated by the battle before the outcome could be predicted. In desperation, Mantofir made a decision that he himself called "crime against Germany", that is, to allocate a large number of armored soldiers without tanks into infantry, and use foxgloves as a reliance to resist the attack of the Soviet armored troops.
That is the elite of the German army. As once glorious German armored soldiers, these soldiers were able to survive the brutal Eastern Front Wars, which was a manifestation of experience and combat effectiveness. But now, they have lost their tanks, and this is no different from a pilot who has lost his fighter jet. In that simple foxglove, their value is even less than a second-rate infantry.
People say: Fengshui turns. Thirty years from Hedong to Thirty years from Hexi. Once upon a time, under the city of Moscow in the east, millions of German troops were aggressive. The powerful armored troops and the air force that had absolute advantage killed the extremely fragile Soviet Red Army and almost lost their capital. Now, it is also a battle against the capital, but the position of the offensive and defensive sides is the once arrogant attacker. Now it has become a tragic fighter. At that time, those Soviet Red Army could only rely on simple foxes and backward anti-tank guns to snipe the enemy. Now they have become the real leaders on the battlefield. The so-called offensive and defensive momentum is easy. It is probably the case that this is the case.
In order to break through the German Nice River and East Odd River defense line, the Soviet army made breakthrough progress in just four hours. The First Belarusian Front Army commanded by Zhukov and the First Ukrainian Front Army commanded by Meletskov successively broke through the German river defense line in the east and south, and immediately launched a centripetal assault on the suburbs of Berlin. At the same time, the Rokosovsky Corps, which launched an offensive in the north, also broke through the German East Odd River defense line and defeated a counterattack organized by the German "Visva Army Group".
After breaking through the German river defense line, the Soviet Red Army, which carried out assault operations in three directions, began to encircle and annihilate the German front-line defense forces that were not too late to retreat. On December 26, the Meretskov Corps broke through the last German river defense line in the outer area of Berlin. At the same time, the left wing troops of the other corps cooperated with the Zhukov Corps to encircle the entire Ninth Army of the German army in the Greater Kelis area. In the direction of the northern line, while restraining the German "Visva Army Group", Rokosovsky Corps looked west to the breakthrough point and defeated several German defense lines in succession, and entered the Elbe River area. The Fifth Army under its jurisdiction met with the US First Army that had just advanced there on December 28 in the Thor Heights of the Elbe River.
As of December 28, the first phase of the Berlin offensive campaign initiated by the Soviet army was successfully concluded. During this stage, the three major Soviet fronts cooperated closely and broke through several German defense lines outside Berlin, and finally completed the encirclement of the entire Berlin.
At this stage of the war, even those who have no vision can see that Germany's prospects have become dim and dull. To make matters worse, at this time, two famous German marshals, Borke and Model, died one after another. Whether it was helpless or to preserve the blood of the country, a large number of German officers began to choose the way of surrender. However, the target of surrender these people chose was not the Soviet Union, but the US-British Allied forces attacked from the west. From some perspectives, the surrender of the German army
The reason why the officers did this was not unexplainable. Everyone knew how deep the hatred between the Soviet Union was. No German wanted to fall into the hands of the Soviets. But then again, the emergence of this phenomenon obviously angered the Soviet army at the city. The reason why the Rokosovsky Corps gave up the plan to advance to the suburbs of Berlin and moved quickly to the west was to be able to surround Berlin on one hand, and to prevent the US and British Allied forces from further approaching Berlin. The third was to prevent the Berlin German army from surrendering to the US and Britain.
On December 28, Chu Sinan returned to Moscow from Tokyo. Subsequently, the Kremlin issued the first "New Year Notice" in Soviet history drafted by the General Secretary himself. In this notice, Chu Sinan declared to the center of the Soviet people: "The Patriotic War, which lasted for four years, is about to end victoriously. In the past four years, tens of millions of heroic children, for the motherland and for the great Soviets, have been one after another, desperately resisting their blood and lives, with their blood and lives to resist the crazy attack of the superior enemy..."
In addition to commending countless "Soviet heroes" who emerged during the war, Chu Sinan's announcement also praised the rear masses who worked hard to support the frontline operations. At the same time, he also made a promise that within a year after the war, the Soviet government would repay all the funds owed to the people during the war. In this announcement, Chu Sinan announced that in view of the war coming to an end and the long-awaited peace that people were eager for, the Soviet government would also shift its main energy from war to state construction. He called on all citizens to cheer up, work hard, and strive to achieve the greatest achievements in the cause of national reconstruction in the shortest time.
Accompanied by Chu Sinan's New Year announcement, the Kremlin announced to the public that it would prepare to convene the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union. The main topics of this congress, in addition to discussing various measures and plans for economic construction, will also discuss sensitive issues such as the liberation of political prisoners.
Chu Sinan also considered the issue of liberating political prisoners for a long time. As a person who was twice imprisoned as a political prisoner, he knew the inside story of the Soviet system about the definition of political prisoners and sentences. The method of the Security Committee to examine a suspect of a political prisoner is by no means as fair and strict as the court trial in modern society. Under the conditions of modern legal system, a political prisoner is determined not to be guilty. The security agency must collect evidence and then prove to the court with irrefutable subway evidence, and then the court will make a judgment. In this process, the suspect can also target those evidence that is unfavorable to him. In this process, the suspect can also make a judgment against those evidence that is unfavorable to him.
Make a refutation one by one. The Soviet Security Committee is the opposite of this. They have only one way to target the suspect. That is, first arrest you, and then tell you, "You are a political prisoner, you are trying to subvert the motherland and destroy the Soviet regime." "You say you are innocent, you say you are wronged, then you come out. Come out the evidence." "You come out the evidence," this sentence is quite interesting. Think about it, as a prisoner in a cage, where did he collect evidence to prove that he is innocent? If he cannot produce evidence and is unwilling to admit that he is guilty, what awaits them will be the torture of the Security Committee.
Chu Sinan knew that during Stalin's rule, a large number of literati and intellectuals were thrown into prison. Although their crimes were all kinds of, they were all political prisoners. Stalin was stubborn and, because he had a low prestige in the Communist Party of the Soviet Union before he came to power, he felt a sense of crisis that was almost inferior. People who were slightly dissatisfied with each other often took the lead. Most of the convicted literati and intellectuals were only focused on academic research but did not know how to adapt.
He often violated the taboos of Stalin and suffered great disasters. After Stalin's fall, Tukhachevsky's rule was too short, and the party power struggles in the Kremlin have continued, so this problem has never been resolved. Now, the situation in the Kremlin has stabilized, and Chu Sinan himself holds heavy power and has no reputation. At the same time, the Patriotic War has basically ended, and the domestic and foreign environment has begun to ease. Therefore, he feels that it is time to solve these problems.
Liberating political prisoners means to rectify the situation to a certain extent, which means rehabilitating a large number of people who have suffered political persecution and grievances, and to give Stalin a "definition" to the former iron-blooded leader. This series of problems is linked together and affects the whole body. Therefore, to a certain extent, it is a major event within the Soviet Communist Party and the Soviet regime level. Chu Sinan alone cannot fully resolve it. Therefore, it is particularly necessary to hold a national and party-wide congress.
Of course, the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union under Chu Sinan was not just to solve the above problems. At this conference, Chu Sinan also had to come up with problems and hand them over to party representatives from all franchised republics, states, and classes to discuss. For example, the main direction of the construction of the first five-year plan after the war; the foreign policy issues of the Soviet countries after the war; the guiding ideology of intra-party building; the improvement of national welfare benefits; the assistance to the left-wing forces of various relevant countries after the war; the purpose of establishing a Soviet-like national alliance, etc.
"There is no doubt that the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union was a very significant meeting in the history of the Soviet Union." This was the evaluation of the meeting by politicians from various socialist countries. It was at this meeting that "Comrade Chu Sinan made a guiding speech and initiative to enable the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (Bolsheviks) to escape from the complex problems left over from Stalin's rule, thus getting rid of the heavy psychological pressure and being able to concentrate all of its energy on post-war economic recovery."
It was also at this plenary session that Chu Sinan re-established the international spirit of the times advocated by Comrade Lenin, and used this spirit as the dominant idea of internal and external work of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, calling for the abandonment of narrow extreme nationalism and great power chauvinism. This initiative, at the 10th National Congress of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union in 1921, Lenin's criticism of the chauvinism sentiment of Greater Russia played a role in inheriting the past and opening up the future, and its impact on future generations is far-reaching.
However, there is still a not very satisfying point in this plenary session, which is also the most criticized by historians in later generations.
At this meeting, Chu Sinan, the highest leader of the country, for various purposes, rejected the proposal put forward by some party representatives to restrict the power of the Security Committee, deprive the Security Committee of the Direct Power over the Border Defense Forces, and ban the military committee system. Chu Sinan's approach directly led to the further expansion of the power of the Security Committee, so that it was too big to end. The Security Committee and the Kremlin were divided into two centers of the struggle for power. In the following 1980s, after General Secretary Andropov's sudden death, Okgi Blinna, the daughter of Chu Sinan, who was then the first secretary of the Security Committee, brazenly provoked a coup, creating a "bloody incident in Moscow" that shocked the world. In just two months, tens of thousands of reformists in the Soviet Union who supported the "new idea reform" and intended to change the policies of the Chu Sinan period were bloodily massacred... All these hidden dangers were foreshadows laid at this meeting. ,!
