In the early morning, Chu Sinan, accompanied by Gilnilova, left his apartment and headed all the way to the Winter Conference Hall in the Kremlin. Today, Tukhachevsky will convene all the new Politburo Standing Committee members to convene a meeting to discuss the adjustment of military generals. Originally, Gilnilova was not qualified to attend such a meeting, but for some reason, her name was also on the list of attendees sent by the notified personnel. This naturally made Gilnilova really happy for a while, and she naturally knew why Buluhell, as the new Minister of Defense, made such a decision.

"Comrade Chu Sinan, you are early." At the door of the conference hall, the guard in charge of the reception saw Chu Sinan and his wife coming, and stepped forward to greet him attentively, "Comrade Gilnilova, you are early."

Now the status of Chu Sinan and his wife is different, and everyone in the Kremlin knows this. As a young foreigner, he was deeply trusted by Stalin before. Now, Stalin has fallen, and those who are closer to him have been cleaned up almost without exception. Only the guy who looks unpretentious in front of him stands tall and is even more majestic than before. What does this mean? It seems that it only means that he has strength.

"Well," Chu Sinan smiled faintly and nodded, "Has Comrade Tukhachevsky arrived?"

"Not yet, Comrade Chu Sinan," said the guard, "It's still early, only Comrades Buluhell arrived, and they were all inside."

"Yeah, OK." Chu Sinan said, and then walked into the door first.

It seems that today's meeting should not be just the Politburo Standing Committee, because at this time there were many people gathered in the conference hall. Beauhoel, Konev, Vasilevsky and others were watching. Behind them, there were many chairs arranged, which were obviously reserved for the attendees.

"Chu, my friend," Buluheer stood up from his seat first and said with a smile, "Come here, your seat is here, ahha, I'm so happy to see you appear."

"Our youngest comrade looks energetic. I think we had a wonderful night yesterday. Why did we come here so early today? You still have some time to be lazy, haha..." Ubolevic, who was sitting opposite Konev, quipped.

"Ha, your spirits look much better than mine," Chu Sinan shook his head and smiled as he stepped towards his position, "I don't know what the meeting is today, so I have to take a step earlier to avoid being confused."

Chu Sinan's seat was arranged next to Buluhell, and it was the second seat on the right side of the main seat. Generally speaking, this seat should be seated by the fourth person among the senior Soviet leaders. In the past, Beria sat in this position. Now, the Kremlin staff allocated this seat to Chu Sinan, which is equivalent to indicating Tukhachevsky's arrangement for him.

Sitting down in his seat, Chu Sinan looked at Buluhell sitting beside him, and hesitated for a moment and said, "Vasily, I'm really sorry for what happened yesterday morning. I was too impulsive, so I said something..."

"Oh, no, no," Buluheer slapped his moustache under his nose and said with a smile, "Chu, are we friends, aren't we? Is there anything worth sorry for? We can understand your mood yesterday. It's just a matter of work. It's a difference caused by disagreement in the moment. It's nothing big."

After patting Chu Sinan's shoulder, Buluhell continued: "Actually, Mikhail's actions were forced to do so. We old guys were afraid of being in that dark prison. None of us suffered less in it. Now that we have the opportunity to turn things around, we can leave no trouble for ourselves, especially those damn guys, who have also paid some price for what they did before."

Chu Sinan nodded silently. Although he did not agree with this purely revengeful massacre, after thinking about it last night, he decided to give up his previous strong opposition. Since his opposition did not have any effect, he would just treat it silently, at least he would not have to offend others.

"Oh, you said just now that you don't know today's issue?" Buluheer seemed to have thought of something, and he leaned forward and said.

"I only know about it," Chu Sinan shrugged, "I said I wanted to discuss the military's personnel adjustment issues, but I just don't know who to move."

"Well," Buluhel nodded, and then said, "This time the change will be very big. Mainly because Mikhail is very dissatisfied with the current frontline war, so he decided to abolish and merge several fronts. At the same time, he also needs to replace some generals who are unfavorable to organize operations. In addition, this meeting will also decide on one major event, that is, Mikhail is willing to give up his persistence in Leningrad, liberate the second front troops trapped in the area, and devote himself to the main battlefield in the middle route, so as to take advantage of the superior forces and take the lead in eliminating the threat to our Moscow direction."

Chu Sinan was stunned and gave up his persistence in Leningrad? Doesn’t that mean that the famous Leningrad defense battle that he knew would disappear in the dust of history?

"What attitude do you have to do with this resolution?" Chu Sinan asked.

"We basically agree," said Buluhell.

Chu Sinan turned his head in shock and looked at the many generals around who had been listening to the two of them, but found that the generals including Huaseylevsky, Konev and others nodded secretly.

Nodded silently, Chu Sinan said: "Yes, Mikhail's resolution makes sense. After all, when the war reaches this point, we can no longer simply consider the gains and losses of a city and a land. Leningrad is small, and trapping the city can only cause us to suffer even greater losses. However, if we give up Leningrad, we will give up the entire Baltic coastal area. What should our navy do then? Wouldn't the Red Flag Baltic Fleet, the Onega Lake Fleet and the Radoga Lake Fleet directly face a situation of destruction?"

"You're right," said Buluhell with a melancholy expression. "This is also our only concern at present. The naval fleet that has lost its base has absolutely no chance to survive, and it is not so easy to transfer them. Especially now that it is late autumn, most of the northern waters have entered the ice age, and it is absolutely a luxury to sail there."

Chu Sinan's lips moved. He wanted to say that in addition to those naval fleets, there were millions of citizens in Leningrad. What should they do? According to the history he knew, the purpose of Hitler's attack on Leningrad during the war was to completely erase the cradle of the proletarian revolution from the earth. If he gave up his defense against the city at this time, it is easy to imagine what kind of treatment the citizens here would be treated.
