"Comrade General Secretary, the situation in Leningrad is still very critical now. The German army has not withdrawn from the city. The south of Leningrad is still controlled by the German army. The Red October Railway has not been restored and opened to traffic.

In addition, the intelligence department also reported that the Polish reactionary military group led by Sikorsky defected to the German emperor on the excuse of the Katyn Forest incident and was appointed as the commander of the Polish Army. It is estimated that the Polish army will soon be led into our territory to fight, and it is likely to be used on the Leningrad battlefield as cannon fodder. At that time, the Germans may use the Polish White Army to carry out tough battles.

In addition, the Empress of Belarus is now based in the imperial village on the outskirts of Leningrad, where at least 400,000 bad elements expelled from Leningrad…”

The person who was reporting to Stalin was Leningrad Prefecture W and City Secretary Jidanov, who was also a member of the Political Bureau and a military member of the Leningrad Front Army. He made the decision to expel hundreds of thousands of people from Leningrad to save food, which was very necessary at the time. But now there are serious sequelae... Leningrad has become a city of families of the *** elements.

But the family members of the *** element cannot live in big cities like Leningrad! They must leave and go to faraway Siberia or Central Asia.

In the Soviet Union, moving household registration from the second capital to Siberia was definitely a severe punishment.

"The population of Leningrad must be evacuated immediately," Stalin made a decision immediately, "because the city is likely to be surrounded again! In addition, many factories in Leningrad must also be evacuated to Siberia."

The evacuation plan that Stalin said now has nothing to do with the changes in the composition of Leningrad citizens. Not only will Leningrad be evacuated, but Kharkov and Donetsk, but also Moscow, are also evacuated. A large number of people need to be relocated, and a large number of factories need to be relocated.

These are all measures necessary for the Soviet Union to insist on a long-term war!

In addition, taking advantage of the opportunity to evacuate the population of the western region, the pace of construction in Siberia and Central Asia can also be accelerated. The State Planning Commission is planning to build a large number of factories in Siberia and Central Asia. Ambassador to the United States Livinov has received instructions to begin negotiating with the United States about "leasing" machinery and equipment.

Of course, the families of those who moved out of Leningrad were different from those who were evacuated from Moscow. They had no chance to return to Leningrad... By the end of the war, the Soviet government would move people from other places to Leningrad.

After all, the glorious second Soviet Union could not tolerate so many families of ***ers and they were not ordinary families of ***ers, but families of Belarusians!

Hearing Stalin's order, Zhidanov said with some embarrassment: "Comrade General Secretary... The situation in Leningrad is very subtle and people's hearts are floating. I am worried that sudden evacuation of the population may cause chaos."

"Confusion?" Stalin didn't seem to understand, "What confusion?"

"Rust!" Zhidanov gritted his teeth and said, "People may resist the migration!"

Leningrad has 300,000 armed *** families...and this is not the worst!

"In addition, during the siege of Leningrad, the internal affairs department of Leningrad also cracked many treason cases!" Zhidanov said, "There are some Leningrad militia or cadres who are unsteady in the will of Leningrad to defect, and some are secretly connected to Belarus outside the city."

"Didn't these people be arrested and shot?" Stalin knew about these things. The long siege of Leningrad was a very desperate thing, and many people did not stand the test. Some people sneaked out of Leningrad and defected to Belarus, while others secretly communicated with Belarus outside the city to act as internal supporters.

The dispatched organs of the People's Committee of the Internal Affairs in Leningrad did not disappoint the trust of the Party and the people. During the days when the city was besieged, more than ten cases of the *** group were cracked, and tens of thousands of people were shot dead. They were all *** elements rather than suspects, so they were shot rather than expelled!

However, people who have some knowledge of the Soviet Union's slightest incident know that the Soviet People's Internal Affairs Commission always only talks about quantity and not quality when it comes to capturing *** elements.

So many of the people who were shot were not ****, and there were also many real *** elements lurking in the city of Leningrad and panic all day long.

"The principle of our party has never wronged a good person, nor let a bad person go!" After understanding that "there are no good people" in Leningrad City, Stalin was smoking a pipe while explaining the party's policies.

"But we still have to talk about some fighting strategy, and we cannot force all enemies into a dead end at the same time." Stalin frowned and said, "In Leningrad, we should first concentrate our efforts to attack a small group, so that we can not only destroy the enemy's leadership core, but also shock other reactionaries who have bad intentions. As long as they feel fear, the next step of migrating the population will be easy."

The method he mentioned is actually very simple, which is the one that does a large cleaning. The large cleaning is not a "washing" at one time, but a gradual process. Each time a small part is washed away, the indicators will usually be issued in advance, such as 5%, so that most people will be lucky and become extremely obedient. After several 5% cleanings, the enemies they want to eliminate will be almost wiped out.

Oh, it was not completely eliminated! Because of this great Patriotic War... Due to the losses in 1942 and the huge losses that are happening now, the Soviet Red Army is now in urgent need of replenishing soldiers and officers.

Therefore, the requirements for the Red Army officers and soldiers in politics are also declining. Many *** elements who should have been rotten in the labor camp have now been recruited into the Red Army and have the opportunity to become a new person.

Of course, the families of 300,000 armed members in Leningrad City could not be sent to Siberia.

"The militia in Leningrad City should be transferred out in batches, and then dispersed and organized into the Red Army units." Stalin continued. "This work should be completed before the purging of the *** elements."

First transfer the army that might be infiltrated by the *** elements, and then carry out anti-counterfeiting... Stalin's art of struggle is still very clever.

After arranging the easy anti-counterfeiting work, Stalin began to discuss with the comrades in the Supreme Command again that he had a great headache for military issues. It was easy for the *** elements in Leningrad City to deal with, but it was difficult for the Germans outside Leningrad City to deal with Belarus.

"Comrade Zhukov, tell me what you think." Stalin pointed Zhukov's name, and the former commander of the Kalinin Front replaced Shaposhnikov with a weak personality a few days ago and became the chief of staff of the Red Army. Shaposhnikov was changed to Deputy People's Committee of National Defense and Dean of the General Staff Military Academy... In fact, it was just a casual job.

"Okay." Zhukov stood up and walked to a large map that occupied almost a wall. Then he took Ghent's teaching stick from a staff officer and pointed to the Leningrad-Smolensk frontline area on the map.

"Comrade General Secretary," said Zhukov, "the current situation on the Soviet-German battlefield is that the German army concentrates its forces to attack our Southwest Front. At the same time, our Central Front, Leningrad Front and Kalinin Front (commander is Fejninsky) are facing relatively light pressure and are still in a relative advantage on some battlefields."

As the main attack targets of the 1st Panzer Army (strengthening the 2nd, 24th and 60th Panzer Army) shifted to the left bank Ukraine, the Soviet Southwest Front is now under great pressure.

At the same time, Germany's armored cluster power in the middle and north roads became weak. The 3rd Armored Army and the 4th Armored Army used in the middle road had only three armored armies (5 armored divisions plus 5 armored grenadier divisions).

Near Leningrad on the northern road, the German army's Northern Army group did not even have a German armored division, only three armored grenadier divisions, one Hungarian armored division and some Belarusian armored troops.

Zhukov continued: "As the enemy's middle and northern routes were weakened, the Kalinin Front still controls part of the Pskov-Daluki railway line. The Central Front also still controls the city of Smolensk, and there is a fierce battle with the main force of the German central route."

"In other words, we can fight a battle to annihilate the main German troops near Leningrad or Smolensk?" Stalin immediately became a little excited after hearing Zhukov's introduction.

"It is impossible to annihilate the main German troops," Zhukov would not speak according to Stalin's intentions. "Because our Kalinin Front, the Central Front of the Leningrad Front does not have many tank troops."

This is a bit of a vague reproaching Stalin because Stalin kept drawing the tank army from the north and middle roads to fight the battle in the joint headquarters.

"And the Germans also had an overwhelming air superiority, which greatly limited our offensive operations," Zhukov said. "Therefore, the success we can achieve around Smolensk and Leningrad is to force the enemy back to relieve the crisis in Leningrad and Moscow."

Stalin nodded repeatedly, Zhukov's proposal this time was very in line with his wishes, because the crisis in the left bank Ukraine would not immediately threaten the Bolsheviks' rule in the Soviet Union in any case. The crisis in Leningrad and Moscow could cause the Bolsheviks to perish.

As long as the Bolsheviks do not have a crisis of national destruction, the Soviet Union will have bargaining chips at the Swiss negotiating table.

"Comrade Zhukov, how are you going to force the German troops around Leningrad and Smolensk?" Stalin asked with interest.
