Two Hundred and Thirty Three Good Times

The attendant kept running, as if a demon was chasing him behind him. He kept running, forgetting that there was a communication tool such as a telephone, and a car such as a car. 【First Release】

He broke into Yezhov's house, stared at Yezhov in horror in front of more than a dozen guards holding guns at him, and shouted: "Khrushchev betrayed you, Stalin wants to get rid of you."

Originally, Yezhov was in a very good mood. Early this morning, his subordinates had already found the person who spoke ill of him in front of Stalin, and they had also found various references to that person, some of which were fabricated and some of which were real. of.

Originally, he could expose these people fiercely at the meeting in the afternoon, and let Stalin execute these Ronaldinho who were against him. So he had just had a hearty breakfast with a few of his henchmen, thinking about how to collectively deal with the enemies around Stalin for a while, and no one knew what would happen next.

It wasn't until the attendant that Yezhov arranged to be by Stalin's side came and shouted the words that almost scared Yezhov to death. Everyone was stunned, they didn't know what happened, they just felt that the sky was about to fall.

"You, what did you say? Are you crazy?" Ye Ruofu had begun to sweat cold sweat on the tip of his nose, but he still asked calmly.

"Stalin listened to Khrushchev and Voroshilov and wanted to kill you!" the waiter said loudly.

You must know that Yezhov got to where he is today by relying on Stalin. Stalin's trust and support are all his capital, because after all, what he did is not visible, and only Stalin can rely on him. Similar to the eunuchs in ancient China: if he is a good servant who can do things well, he will be able to obtain glory and wealth; but if he has the slightest unreasonable thoughts, he will be killed by his master.

Is Liu Jin a powerhouse? Does it count as one person below ten thousand people? But when the emperor couldn't protect him or didn't want to protect him, he could only slaughter at the neck, and he didn't even have the strength to struggle. This situation is the true portrayal of Yezhov now. He really does not have the ability to resist Stalin's thunderbolt.

He killed a lot of people for Stalin, but he also offended a lot of people because of it. The army hated him to the core, and the party regarded him as a ghost and avoided him. Only now did he figure out his situation. It turned out that what he lacked was his own power, and what he lacked was that kind of unwavering foundation.

He wants to understand now, but is it all too late?

"No! I can't let the leader, Comrade Stalin, be seduced by the traitors of Khrushchev! I am the most loyal communist fighter!" Yezhov suddenly screamed: "I am going to see Comrade Stalin! I'm going to see Comrade Stalin!"

He's quite calm,

Knowing that at this time there is no other way to go anyway, it is the most important thing to convince Stalin to let him go. If he is lucky this time, he will be able to build his own power, stabilize his foundation, and then fight with Khrushchev and others again. After all, the most important thing in life is to live.

But how to get to the Kremlin, his subordinates have different opinions. Some people are in favor of simply following the past and requesting to meet Comrade Stalin. But some people don't see it that way, they think it's a sheep going into the tiger's mouth and seeking its own death.

"Remember how we caught Kodesky? He went to meet Stalin to report our crimes, but he didn't bring the guards. We caught him at the Kremlin gate, and he broke his throat, In the end, we put it in the car, and it was buried in the end..." A dissenting subordinate disapproved of the light car Jane going to the Kremlin to meet Stalin: "This time, it is impossible to guarantee that Khrushchev will not follow us. Method to do it again."

"But, if I take someone to the Kremlin, will Comrade Stalin think that we have the intention to stage a coup..." Yezhov asked hesitantly. When he asked this question, his subordinates also hesitated. If someone was labelled as a "rebellion", it would be yellow mud falling into the crotch of his pants—it would be shit or shit. Of course, you can also understand it as: not dead or dead.

On the other hand, when Yezhov was struggling with how to get to the Kremlin, Stalin, who was so embarrassed, finally burst out his endless anger because of one thing. One of his attendants was missing, which meant that the attendant who brought him bread and milk this morning turned out to be an undercover agent.

No matter what the purpose of this person lurking beside him, an undercover is an undercover after all. This feeling of insecurity reminded Stalin of Kirov, Tukhachevsky, and many, many people. So Stalin, who still maintained his demeanor towards Khrushchev, finally broke out.

It broke out without reservation, broke out completely. Originally, Stalin had many considerations for getting rid of Yezhov. For example, Yezhov knew too many dark events, and they should be erased to avoid future troubles; for example, Yezhov really disappointed Stalin on the Polish issue, and the Polish problem It is also necessary to find a hapless person to take the blame; another example, the army has always been resistant to the big purge, and it is possible to kill a person to stabilize the morale of the army.

But even if he wanted to get rid of Yezhov, Stalin was not angry, he just chose an abandoned son and then wiped it out. But he is really angry now. There is a nail that Ye Ruov buried next to him, a person who can hand him food at any time, but he is undercover under the orders of another person. This incident made Stalin intolerable.

"Khrushchev! I order you! And Marshal Voroshilov! The two of you, gather your troops immediately and go and arrest Yezhov for me! Don't send me to see me, just shoot them! The reason is murder State leaders, and conspiracy to disrupt the Great Purge! Go now! Now!" Stalin's roar could be heard throughout the hall, echoing "swing" on the high dome.

Of course Khrushchev and Voroshilov were happy to carry out such an order, and they immediately began to contact the men they could find. Stalin personally mobilized the garrison in the Kremlin, handed it over to Khrushchev's 120 elite soldiers, and opened the Kremlin with live ammunition.

Most of this unit was trained using the wolf cavalry training method, and it can be said to be the most terrifying force in the Soviet army. Now they are assembled to arrest the famous purger hated by half the Soviets in Moscow: Yezhov.

On the other hand, Yezhov finally made up his mind. Based on the first principle of life, he took his guards and his men to the Kremlin and asked to see Stalin. Because there are a lot of people: his guards counted some of his subordinates and his subordinates, and there were fifty or sixty people who drove their cars to their destination.

The people on both sides met on the street like this.

"Get out of the way! This is Comrade Yezhov's convoy! Do you want to rebel?" The car of Yezhov's cronies at the head was stopped by Khrushchev's troops, where they shouted, "We want to Go to the leader, Comrade Stalin! Get out of the way."

"Bah!" He was answered by a gunshot. The bullet pierced through the glass, directly hitting the driver of the car in the opposite direction. Then the gunshots became intensive, and many people opened fire frantically, and the streets of Moscow became the battlefield of street fighting.

"Khrushchev! You bastard! You betrayed me!" Yezhov roared angrily, hiding in the alley beside the street. The attendant who came to report the letter from the Kremlin fell not far from him. was beaten into a sieve.

The gunfire gradually subsided, and it was clear that the other party might have ordered a ceasefire. After a while, Khrushchev's voice came over: "Yezhov, you framed Tukhachevsky, and you were accused of expanding the purge, and the great leader Comrade Stalin knew about it! He also knew that you intended to assassinate. Him! You better surrender now, or your people will die here!"

"You are talking nonsense! I didn't..." Yezhov felt that something was wrong, and quickly made a distinction, but his later words were covered up by the sound of gunfire.

"My God! Stop shooting! We surrendered! We were blinded by Yezhov! We are innocent..." a sobbing voice shouted halfway through, but after a gunshot there was no sound. In fact, people who are a little wiser have long wanted to understand that it is impossible for Yezhov's cronies to leave here today, and this is their final stage.

Ye Ruofu took out his pistol, which looked very beautiful, but suddenly found that his vision was a little blurred, and wiped it with his hand, only to realize that he was crying. Now he finally understands what it's like to be a recruit on the battlefield, and now he knows that those soldiers who lie on the ground and dare not take a step forward are really excusable.

But it's too late to say anything. Now he can no longer have the opportunity to approach the luxurious Kremlin by the Red Square, nor can he reach the pinnacle of Soviet power. He felt like a clown who woke up after a dream of an emperor.

Looking up, he saw an accomplice not far in front of him who had been punched in the head and fell to the ground. For the first time, death was so close to him. Suddenly he felt his body tremble. Then the whole body fell to one side in disobedience.

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw the shooter, who used to be his most trusted confidant.

Darkness struck, and Yezhov remembered many things. For example, he remembered a famous slogan he shouted: "I'd rather kill ten by mistake than let one go." Was he wrongly killed? Or the one that shouldn't have been let go? very very tired……

When Khrushchev saw Yezhov again, Yezhov was already curled up in the corner and became cold. Voroshilov remained silent, and Khrushchev did not speak. Maybe someone remembers the days they spent together in Poland, the good times they once talked about.
