After sending Molotov away from his office, Stalin thought about it more and more that he could not take the threat from Belarus lightly. When Comrade Lenin returned from Switzerland in April 1917, the Bolshevik Party was also weak and not worth mentioning, but a few months later the Bolshevik Party seized power!

Now Oliga's Belarusian power is much stronger than the Bolshevik Party in April 1917. And she has received strong support from the European reactionary forces led by Germany, and she is really the most dangerous enemy of the Bolshevik Party.

Just as Stalin was getting more and more shocked, the secretary came to inform him that the Vice Chairman of the Council of Ministers, Member of the National Defense Committee and People's Committee of the Internal Affairs, Beria asked for a visit.

Beria is now becoming Stalin's most trusted assistant. She is not only responsible for intelligence and anti-counterfeiting work, but also in charge of fortification construction, factory withdrawal and weapons production. Even the Soviet Union's most confidential nuclear weapons research and development was directly responsible for Beria.

Because of the more and more work he was responsible for, Beria reported to Stalin more and more frequently, and she met Stalin several times almost every day.

"Comrade General Secretary and experts from the People's Committee of Tank Industry recently completed the test of Project 233 and Project 234, and the results were satisfactory. The weight of these two tanks is comparable to that of KV-85, but it is better in firepower and defense. In particular, the 122mm cannon in Project 234 has enough to destroy the Tiger tank at a distance of 1,000 meters away..."

As soon as Belia saw Stalin, she excitedly reported good news. The development of Soviet heavy tanks made another breakthrough! Two new tanks based on KV-85 made breakthroughs at the same time, and 233 of them were js-1.

The 234 project is the well-known JS-2 heavy tank. This tank can be said to be tailor-made for the Tiger tank. It has a 43-caliber 122mm cannon, which is enough to destroy the Tiger tank at a distance of 1,000 meters. Moreover, the armor of this tank is also very strong. The front armor on the front of the car body is 100mm homogeneous steel (or 120mm cast iron) with an inclination angle of 60 degrees, and the side armor plate is 89-90mm thick, so its defense capability is quite considerable.

When Stalin heard the 122mm caliber tank gun, he showed a satisfied expression. The Soviet tank industry finally came up with satisfactory products!

"These two tanks should be put into production as soon as possible, especially the 122mm No. 234." Stalin ordered, smoking his pipe, "You can give them my name, namely Joseph Stalin No. 1 tank and Joseph Stalin No. 2 tank."

"Okay," Beria replied with a smile, "these two types of tanks will definitely become a weapon that scares the Nazi enemies."

Stalin nodded, "Then let the Ministry of Tank Industry arrange production as soon as possible. I hope they can be used in the fourth Leningrad battle in the near future."

Since the German counterattack into the Soviet Union, Leningrad was a focus of repeated tug-of-war. According to the Soviet calculations, three battles had occurred. The first was the German army surrounded Leningrad, the second was the rescue operation in the winter of 1942, the third was the rescue operation not long ago, and the fourth battle of Leningrad is being brewed now.

The Supreme Command of the Red Army was preparing to launch a large counterattack on the front line of Leningrad Smolensk before the main force of the German army pacified the left bank Ukraine (including Crimea).

"But General Secretary... it's already late May." Belia knew some counterattack plans, and the time was to be launched was in early June 1943. There was not much time left now. How could she have time to arrange the production of the Stalin series tanks?

"The Fourth Battle of Leningrad will be postponed for half a month," Stalin said, "it will not be initiated until late June."

"Half a month delay?" Belia didn't understand why, and he had never heard of it.

Stalin smoked his pipe, as if he was in the next great determination, "This is necessary. We must first complete all kinds of preparations before we can win the fourth Battle of Leningrad. And among all the preparations, the most important thing is to eliminate the reactionary and instability elements in the city of Leningrad!"

Punish the counter-counter in Leningrad?

Beria understood a little. He was a member of the People's Commissar of the Internal Affairs, and of course he knew that Leningrad is now a "city of family members of anti-GM elements". He also knew that during the siege of Leningrad, many traitors and anti-GM elements were dug up!

"During the siege, we dug out many anti-GM and traitor groups in Leningrad City," Stalin smoked and said with a serious expression, "But compared with Comrade Kirov's murder, our cleaning efforts in Leningrad this time were too small. I think there must be many traitors and anti-GM elements that have not been dug out... These people are likely to have sent letters of allegiance to the queen outside the city and were also granted some titles, but we know nothing.

If they were not revealed now, it would be impossible to win the Fourth Battle of Leningrad! Comrade Belia, do you understand what I mean?"

"General Secretary, I understand." Belia nodded and replied, "We must find out all the anti-GM elements lurking in Leningrad, otherwise they are likely to cause trouble during the Fourth Battle of Leningrad."

"That's right!" Stalin nodded in praise, "The enemies lurking inside us are the most dangerous enemies! They must be eliminated first, and then they can be eliminated. Comrade Belia outside Leningrad, who do you think is suitable to eliminate the reactionaries in Leningrad?"

"Comrade Abakumov can be appointed as the leader of the Leningrad Branch of the People's Committee of the Internal Affairs." Belia immediately recommended his right-hand assistant Viktor Semenovic Abakumov.

"Okay, let Comrade Abakumov go to Leningrad." Stalin said, "At this time tomorrow, you will bring Comrade Abakumov to the Kremlin. I want him to meet Comrade Kuznetsov from Leningrad. He is the most capable comrade in Leningrad. As long as Comrade Abakumov can work together with him, Leningrad will not have room for anti-GM elements to gain a foothold."

Of course, Kuznetsov was not the People's Commissar of the Red Navy. He was the second secretary of Leningrad City, his right-hand assistant to Zhidanov, and the actual person in charge of Leningrad City during the siege. Because Zhidanov was sick at that time and could not work normally, his deputy Kuznetsov took on most of the leadership work. Now he also serves as a member of the Leningrad Front Military Commission (Deputy Political Commissar) and has become a partner with General Vrasov.

Just when Stalin wanted Kuznetsov and Abakumov to cooperate in the fight against the counter-revolutionary period, he was talking to General Vrasov, the commander of the Leningrad Front.

It was Vrasov who took the initiative to explain the problem to Kuznetsov not that General Vrasov made a mistake, but that he received a letter of surrender written by the Russian Empress Oliga.

The content in the letter was of course very shocked Vrasov. The evil queen did not propose any "recruitment conditions" in the letter, and did not even mention making Vrasov surrender. Instead, she was discussing with him the future of the Russian nation!

The Queen believes that the Soviet Union has been defeated! Losing the war is inevitable. If you want to survive, you must cede Ukraine and Belarus... This is fatal to the Soviet economy!

Because the Soviet economy was "self-sufficiency", once Ukraine's food, coal and industry were lost, the Soviet economy would be unable to maintain its existing self-sufficiency, and to develop Siberian resources, it would require a large amount of investment, which may mean that the "difficult times" in the early 1930s will be staged again!

There is only one way to get the Russian nation out of this kind of misfortune, which is to integrate into the European Community...

These reactionary remarks that looked like heartfelt words would certainly not impress General Vrasov. He is currently a loyal G-speaking warrior. According to regulations, he must submit this letter to the political commissar of his troops in person. Zhidanov was hospitalized in Moscow these two days, so he had to hand it over to Kuznetsov.

"But how did this letter be sent to my house?" General Vrasov said that he looked incredible. "Now there must be no postman dealings between Leningrad and Pushkin Village (Imperial Village) outside the city, right?"

"Of course not," Kuznetsov shook his head, "it was sent in the city of Leningrad."

"In the city of Leningrad? Where?" General Vrasov asked.

"I don't know," Kuznetsov smiled bitterly, "most half a year of siege has changed the city forever..."

In fact, the people in the besieged city were completely desperate in the spring of 1943, and no one expected that there would be a time to rescue the siege. At that time, most of the Leningrads had already prepared their minds to become Petrograds in their hearts... Those who had been hungry for several months still care whether Leningrads or Petrograds were in their household registration book? Just eat them!

Moreover, the Leningrad siege is not an airtight iron barrel. It is surrounded by more than 200 kilometers long, and it is impossible to completely isolate the inside and outside the city.
