Chapter 112: Cheating 2

A few days after Marshal Vorosilov returned home, the Soviet Union announced that Marshal Tukhachevsky, who was originally going to London as a representative of the Soviet Union to attend the coronation ceremony of King George VI, could not go due to "health reasons".

A week later, the marshal was removed from his post as deputy people's commissar of defense and exiled to the Volga Military District. A month later, Pravda suddenly published an "editorial" in a prominent position: "Today, we published a notice from the Soviet prosecutor's office on handing over 8 spies captured on the spot to the court for judgment. They, these foreign running dogs, despicable and shameless traitors... Tukhachevsky, Yakir, Uborevich, Kolk, Edelman, Feldman, Primakov, Putner, these are the extremely hateful and hateful names of the core members of the enemy spies currently uncovered."

And on the day the editorial was published, the Soviet court sentenced these villains, spies, clowns raised by the bourgeoisie and enemies of the Soviet people to death by shooting, and the People's Commissariat for Internal Affairs has executed the sentence. This sudden news caused a great shock. People were surprised. How could Tukhachevsky, who was known as one of Lenin's best students and a famous hero during the Soviet Civil War, become a spy for another country? The world's public opinion also had different reactions. Some expressed surprise, some expressed regret, and some remained silent.

When Anne sent a secret telegram, Yannick was holding a small party. The attendees included Reinhard, Speer, Goebbels, Rommel, Manstein, Guderian and other "civil officials and generals" promoted by Yannick. After taking the telegram and scanning it, the general content was. "Tukhachevsky refused to defect and was shot this morning."

Tsk, what a stubborn temper.

After sighing, Yannick raised the glass in front of him. "Come on, everyone, cheers, to Marshal Tukhachevsky. Just this morning, he was personally ordered to be executed by the big bearded man."

"!!" Hearing this, everyone was stunned. The first thought was that Stalin was crazy? Executing a marshal? Isn't he afraid of destabilizing the army? Even Germany, which they call evil capitalism and imperialism, has never done such a crazy thing. Those who opposed the downgraded headquarters of His Majesty were only forced to resign and expelled from the army. Most of them are still alive and well. This Stalin is so good that he directly killed a marshal.

Only Yannick knew that this was just the beginning!

A terrible "storm" will sweep across the entire Soviet Union.

There have been several "storms" before, but those "storms" did not affect the army. And now this bloody "storm" is aimed at the army.

Three of the five marshals, 13 of the 15 army-level cadres, 57 of the 85 army commanders, 110 of the 196 division commanders, 220 of the 406 brigade commanders, all 11 deputy people's commissars of defense, and 75 of the 80 members of the Supreme Military Council will be purged!

Manstein asked curiously. "Your Highness, what crime was he executed for?"

"They said these people were foreign running dogs, despicable traitors. General Guderian, it seems that your letters played a big role. Maybe even the song I gave him was misinterpreted by them as a signal of collusion with foreign agents, hahaha."

Guderian, Rommel, and Manstein looked at each other with some disgust. Only they knew that it was His Highness who personally ordered Guderian to communicate with Tukhachevsky 9 years ago. Could it be that His Highness was planning to use Stalin to get rid of Tukhachevsky at that time? Tukhachevsky was just a general at that time.

But they didn't know that Yannick's arrangements were more than that. Although there are many articles on the Internet in the original time and space analyzing that the big beard was not the "dissension plan" of the small and medium beards to kill Tukhachevsky unjustly. But he still didn't dare to be careless, and seriously implemented the separation plan step by step according to the steps of the original time and space to frame Tukhachevsky. It was not until today that he received the news of Tukhachevsky's death that he was completely relieved.

Reinhard in the original time and space took great pains to implement this counter-espionage plan. He first asked his theft experts to sneak into the secret archives of the German Supreme Command at that time to steal Tukhachevsky's archives, which included records of conversations between German officers and representatives of the former Soviet Command, as well as Tukhachevsky's meetings and conversations with representatives of the German General Staff Headquarters and their military attaché office in the Soviet Union when he was the Chief of Staff of the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army from 1925 to 1928. However, these meetings and conversations were all official in nature and had no value worth using.

Reinhard was not discouraged. He set up a laboratory with all technical equipment and was personally responsible for confidentiality measures. After everything was ready, he ordered the files to be "processed", adding words and sentences to the conversation records and correspondence, adding new letters, changing the date, and finally making the files look very substantial. In any country, it would be completely convincing to send any general with such complete evidence to a military court and convict him of treason.

Reinhardt carefully checked all the technical work of his experts in forging the document, and he was very satisfied with the result. The next step was how to send this "realistic" document to Stalin.

At the end of January 1938, Heydrich finally seized an opportunity. Czechoslovakia's ambassador to Berlin, Masterne, sent a coded telegram to his president Benes, saying that a German diplomat he knew in the past had revealed such a "secret" in his conversation with him: the Germans were in contact with a certain anti-Stalin group of the Red Army. Benes was deeply disturbed when he learned of this information, because the relationship between Czechoslovakia and the Soviet Union was based on mutual trust and a solid friendship. On the issue of the Sudetenland in Czechoslovakia, the Soviet Union also tended to be on the Czech side. Once the Soviet Union stood on the side of the mustache, there would be nothing to prevent Germany from occupying the Sudetenland. In view of this, Benes immediately summoned the Soviet ambassador to Prague, Alexandrovsky, and conveyed Masterne's information to the Soviet ambassador. After Alexandrovsky learned of this information from Benes, he hurriedly flew to Moscow. Heydrich took a detour and the information fell into Stalin's hands.

In order to enhance credibility, two or three days later, the same intelligence content was also passed to Potemkin, the Soviet ambassador in the Paris Embassy, ​​who immediately telegraphed the intelligence to Moscow.

However, this time and space was much simpler. Tukhachevsky and Guderian had correspondence. Yannick directly asked Guderian for several Tukhachevsky's replies, handed them to Reinhard, and took them to the "Andrew Factory" for processing.

The "Andrew Factory" is not short of masters of forging documents. These people easily forged several letters written by Tukhachevsky "personally" to collude against the country.

Things were even simpler afterwards. According to the intelligence provided by Natasha, Reinhard had a list of many Soviet spies lurking in Germany. It was just that according to Yannick's instructions, they were not alarmed, and a few of them were temporarily turned against.

After receiving Reinhard's notice, one of the turned spies immediately reported the situation to Moscow, and also asked for a large amount of intelligence fees, and then sent a document with the "top secret" seal of the German intelligence department to Moscow.
