Chapter 11 The Storm Before Dawn (Part 2)

The storm caused by the "Prince Truth incident" was strong. In two weeks after the Smolny Palace meeting, a large number of members of the highest Soviet organization, including Molotov, editor-in-chief of Pravda, Malenkov, secretary of the Secretariat, and Vorosilov, a member of the National Defense Commission, were quarantined and investigated. As the leader of the secret police, although Beria himself was fully responsible for investigating the incident, he also failed to escape the fate of being censored.

No wonder Stalin was so pissed off. Even Chu Sinan himself felt that Comrade Klyucchkov was really too hasty this time, and the planning of the entire operation was also used by some places to be excessively used.

The report about Tukhachevsky was indeed written by Chu Sinan. After completing the manuscript, he handed it over to Kluchkov through secret channels. His original plan was to say that the report was published in an ordinary newspaper with not much influence. Its function was only to complain to Tukhachevsky and his people through subtle ways to rehabilitate them in order to rehabilitate them in the future. However, Kluchkov, who was originally very obedient, suddenly had a problem in the process. He did not obey Chu Sinan's plan, but bribed one without authorization.

A secretary named Kerchinsky from the Kremlin Secretariat sent the manuscript directly to Pravda. Due to the urgency of time and the special identity of the person who sent the manuscript, the editors of Pravda, who were the official newspapers of the CPC Central Committee, had no time to carefully think about the impact of this report, so they had to change the page in a hurry and line up the report. Afterwards, Klechkov took action to silence Kerchinsky. Therefore, when the people arranged by Beria found Kerchinsky's residence, all they could get was a corpse.

Kerchinsky's death undoubtedly made the secret police's investigation temporarily lose clues, but this resulted in Stalin's even more unstoppable anger. The suspicious old fox quickly set a character for the incident - "This is the destruction of the enemy. This enemy is either a remnant of the Trotsky organization or a spy of the German fascist." In this way, the problem of news reporting that should have been biased was transformed into a problem of the Soviet regime's struggle against enemy specialists in a very short period of time.

As the nature of the incident changed, the intensity of the strike will naturally be strengthened, the surface of the strike will naturally become larger, and the means of strike will naturally become diversified. For a time, a cold and terrifying cloud filled Moscow and above the Kremlin. However, this cloud was what Comrade Beliya, who was good at dancing in this regard, most wanted to see. After all, he had been operating many times, and then he was familiar with it and was at ease. The most important thing is that this was the best opportunity to attack his own political enemies.

Everything is like a new beginning, but everything is like a repeat of history.

After the meeting of Smolny Palace, a storm began to brew. Chu Sinan was immediately imprisoned. There were many sentries around his residence and were on high alert. Except for Gilnilova, who was his fiancée, who could come in to see him, no other idle people were allowed to enter. Moreover, according to Gilnilova, she has lost most of her freedom now, and people have been monitored in and out of the world, and can't do anything. Even the establishment of an intelligence team was forced to suspend.

The news brought by Gilnilova made Chu Sinan feel uneasy. He clearly remembered how solemn Gilnilova's expression was at that time, and of course, he also clearly remembered how shocking the first news she announced was.

"Malenkov was arrested secretly and deprived of all party positions. His original work was temporarily taken care of by Comrade Suslov. Comrade Molotov was also imprisoned, and several major leaders of Pravda must also be reviewed."

"This is a conspiracy, this is definitely a conspiracy initiated by Belia." When he heard this news, Chu Sinan thought of these things at the first time. His actions seemed to be suspected of making wedding clothes for others. There is no doubt that this time Belia would make a big move and completely eliminate dissidents. Chu Sinan even doubted whether this guy would take this opportunity to get rid of Stalin.

This is not Chu Sinan's assumption out of thin air, it is very likely. Now Belia must have a sense of crisis. He is a person who has been struggling in the struggle for the regime for half his life. It is impossible for him to feel the change in Stalin's attitude towards him, and it is even more impossible for him to know how important the secret he knows is to Stalin. In this case, it is very likely that Belia will make an adventurous decision and make a final desperate attempt.

The most important thing is that Beria, who holds the secret police force, is powerful. In the current Soviet senior management, he is above ten thousand people. His spies and agents are everywhere and everywhere. Judging from the situation this time, he seems to have some connection with Vorosilov. A secret police leader who can control the army will definitely not cause any storm.

"Klyuchkov, Klyuchkov!"

Now, the only weight that Chu Sinan can rely on is only Klyuchkov. He holds the most important third game in the secret police organization in his hand. As long as he stands firmly on his side, even if Beria makes any rash moves in the future, he will be able to play a very important role in it.

But the question is what choice will Klyuckov make when facing huge changes that are likely to occur.

This guy is timid, but he has a great desire for power. He can only be a role that can be used but cannot be trusted. If Stalin does not fall, or if Belia cannot become the number one person in the Soviet Union, then Chu Sinan will be 90% sure to control him. But now Belia is about to stand out, does Klyuckov still have the courage to follow him? Chu Sinan is not sure, and has no confidence at all.

Through the window of the residence, Chu Sinan looked at the guards walking outside the window, and the heaviness in his heart became more and more obvious. He could not imagine the consequences of Klyuchkov's betrayal. Without his appearance, no one would protect Tukhachevsky's old coaches, no one would contact the old coaches in the past, and no one would contact him for every plan he had planned, and so on.

Chu Sinan finally felt the biggest weakness of his entire plan, that is, the circle of forces that can be relied on is too small. Although the old coaches have great potential, they are in trouble and cannot exert any strength. Just one Kluchkov can be used. In this way, although the opportunity for exposure is small, the space for planning is also small.
