I became Stalin chapter 295

295

Nikolai, who was slurping a glass of ice soviet today, and looking at the newspaper, was startled and groaned.

“Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh… .”

“Are you okay, Dad?”

“No, um… It might not be okay… .”

Katia looked at Nikolai with a funny expression as she brought home-made pies and borscht for breakfast.

“What’s going on?”

“Well… Comrade Stalin’s resignation.”

“Oh my, my… .”

For most young people, the title of the national leader was General Secretary and Stalin. Those born around 1928, when Stalin came to power, had never thought of, or even imagined, a leader other than Stalin.

‘Maybe it’s a little different for older people… .’

Of course, quite a few older people remembered the Tsar period or the Bolshevik Revolution. Nikolai himself was able to recall the days of Lenin as head of state with a vague memory of his childhood.

But General Stalin was just too big a figure. Industrialization, the Great Patriotic War, and now the invisible war with the United States! There was no place in society that was untouched by Stalin’s breath.

“Dad, what is your resignation?”

“Yeah, I’m quitting.”

“Alas… But how do you quit?”

“Well… .”

Little Stars has been asking if it’s strange that his father is doing this. Well, that much, even Nikolai did not know at all.

Who else will be the secretary? Or do we do so-called “democracy” as America does? Or will the seats be shared amongst the arrogant little ones?

Just as it is impossible to imagine that the Soviet Union before Stalin and the Soviet Union today are the same country, it is difficult to imagine the future Soviet Union as well.

‘Should I ask Brigadier Makarov… .’

The most knowledgeable and gossip Nikolai knew was Vladimir Makarov, a friend of Frunze’s days. He is currently serving as a senior staff member of the General Staff, so why don’t you have a lot of ears to hear?

Anyway, the world has changed so much.

“A village worm like me became a general, and I don’t know how the world is going to work.”

“Oh… you again? Where else could there be a man as handsome as you?”

Katia kissed Nikolai on the cheek as he went to work and whispered in his ear. Nikolai smiled haha ​​and kissed his wife’s cheek once more.

“Bye!”

“Good luck!”

“Okay. See you later in the evening.”

On the way to work, thousands of people were shouting, each with their newspapers open. Some were crying, and some were shouting something with a bewildered face.

“Good morning, Comrade General.”

“Good morning, Colonel Smirnov.”

Colonel Smirnov, his new chief of staff, watched Nikolai’s eyes and waited for orders. The division commander, who was much younger than him, had a reputation for being quite eccentric with a simple and good-looking subject.

They say that the physical strength of the officers is the problem, so the division commander himself is the one who puts his head down and tells the former executives to gossip, or jokes about their backstory as a joke… .

‘Are all the people’s heroes like that?’

Whatever Colonel Smirnov might think, Nikolai thought about how the resignation of Stalin’s replacement would play out.

“that… Gubo this morning… .”

“Ah? Gubo? Let’s omit it for today.”

Then yes. A pleasant rapture flashed across Smirnov’s face. At this age, it was not very pleasant to pant and run around in front of the soldiers with their chubby belly fat.

And it made him satisfied that Major General Petrov, a ‘soldier general’, was worried on a day like today.

‘No matter how much you are a hero of the people or a hero of war, how can you not be in the mainstream of the times… .’

When there is a change of government, there are people who will surely succeed, and there are those who lose their ties. In order for someone to become the new leader to take control of the military, he had to get rid of Stalin’s loyalists and plant his own henchmen.

In the process, it was possible to succeed in the future by figuring out who was in power and who was going to fall, and then line up.

General Petrov seemed no different. His reputation so far known was that he was not interested in his career, but that he was interested in him.

But in such a turbulent time, such a panic!

“I only make one phone call for a while.”

“Yes! I see, Comrade General.”

Purple! Now I don’t know who it is, but I’m going to call my network and try to get a line.

Smirnov walked out of Nikolai’s office, hiding a sinister laugh. Nikolai couldn’t understand why the author was laughing like that, but he searched his memory and called Makarov.

“Oh, Vladimir! Nile. Nikolai.”

[Hahahaha, no, does Comrade Petrov also call at times like this?]

After a few busy calls, I barely managed to connect with Makarov. Makarov trembled like that, probably because there were a lot of people who contacted him.

“Well? Why are you getting so many calls? .”

[Everyone is curious. Who will take control of the next generation of military, who will be the foe, and who will be the old man in the back room… . Whether the string he was holding was a loose string or a rotten string, things like that. No, but I thought Comrade Petrov wasn’t interested in that at all… ]

Nikolai was taken aback by Makarov’s words, which seemed a little disappointing.

“Hey Vladimir. I’m going to die because the responsibilities I’m undertaking right now are too heavy. I can’t even fulfill my responsibilities here, so what kind of promotion, string, and politics are you discussing?”

[…] gasoline. Everyone who contacted me was curious about that. Comrade Nikolai was a little surprised because he hadn’t done that before… It’s not like that either.]

“okay. What… I have some questions too, but… .”

[What are you so curious about? Ha ha ha ha ha. When is the next special?]

This friend… It was a bit frustrating to be teased with special privileges even though he couldn’t afford his seat right now, but Nikolai was able to endure such teasing.

“It’s not like that… Well… Will there be another war?”

[Yes?]

“When the government changes. Do you think there is going to be a war?”

[…] I think we should look into that a bit, but why are you asking such a thing?]

I was a bit embarrassed to say this. To the soldiers who died under his command, or to those who believed in him and followed him.

“I’m afraid that if another war breaks out, idiots like me will have to order people to die again. No, I’m not the only one who’s ugly. The one who embezzles the soldiers’ food expenses, the one who sexually touches my subordinates… Should the young people of the Soviet Union sacrifice their lives to fight with such an upper hand?”

[…] ]

“So, if there is any chance that a war will break out, I will quit this job. I haven’t forgotten how to drive a tank yet, so I’d love to drive a tractor on a farm somewhere in the countryside. After all, there is a pension attached to the medal… .”

[No, Nikolai Fyodorovich who says that there is no other commander as good as you? Even if I do nothing from now on, the lieutenant general and captain will be sweet!]

“That is the most terrifying. For a lucky person like me to be responsible for the lives of tens of thousands.”

Makarov burst into laughter, as if it was absurd now. He was really stupid.

Is what you’ve been doing all the way down to luck? But the funniest thing was that Nikolai really believed that way.

[…] don’t speak In my opinion, Comrade Nikolai will be a very good general just by being honest and understanding the hearts of the soldiers. So, since you graduated from the military academy, you are in a position where the chattering guys do not install it in your upper body.]

“… .”

This time, Nikolai had nothing to say.

As the military went through the war, the incompetents were cut off and the capable ones were promoted, but like a poisonous mushroom that still grows in the shade, many poor humans climbed up.

Is this why the purge was done?

“The future of the Soviet Army is bleak to say that a guy like me is better.”

[Don’t say that. Even if you look at the little Americans right now… ]

“Well? What is America talking about?”

[Didn’t you hear? After all, because of the resignation of Comrade Stalin today, everyone is talking about it… ]

What are you squeezing for like this? Nikolai pondered what had happened in America, but nothing came to mind.

[It is said that the army suppressed the protesters made up of citizens by mobilizing tanks and cavalry. Thousands are injured and hundreds are now missing, so… You don’t even know where you are… ]

“!!!”

in America? After plucking his teeth, the United States came to think of it as something somewhere between a good friend and a vicious reactionary, but at least Nikolai never expected that they would openly shoot at the people.

Makarov, frankly, did not know that this would happen, and slowly explained what had happened.

[If you’ve heard of MacArthur, the current president of the United States, you’ll know that he’s from the military. I had suppressed the protesters like that once in the past, but the government was overthrown and demoted, but I still couldn’t get rid of the habit and did it again.]

“haha… It’s unimaginable… .”

The Soviet Union was also not so free and the government was not without oppression of its citizens. However, the military was also subject to the same surveillance and did not openly mobilize troops against the people. I don’t know if it was the chaotic period of the early Soviet Union.

The war was over, and it was honestly heartbreaking for Nikolai, who in his heart wanted the army to be much smaller.

Look at this huge budget and manpower consumed by the military! Wouldn’t it be great if all of this could be invested in improving the quality of life of the people? When he looked at the numbers after becoming a general, Nikolai only sighed.

‘How wonderful it will be when a time of peace comes… .’

Even if you become unemployed as a general, you will be able to drive a tractor on a rural collective farm as long as you have a learned rhythm. In the Soviet system, the difference in the quality of life between ordinary workers and high-ranking officers was not huge, so what Nikolai is enjoying now was not so disappointing.

Makarov went on to explain what’s going on in America right now.

[…] To prevent this impeachment vote, MacArthur declared martial law and dissolved Congress. Even now, physical clashes between MacArthur supporters and opponents… ]

“Damn, that kind of politics is too hard for me.”

[Ha ha ha ha ha. Now that you have become a general, even if your comrades are not interested in politics, you will be interested in comrades in politics.]

“So, didn’t I say that I wanted to quit?”

I’m serious. Why do people not know this?

The world has changed so much. People’s lives improved a bit, but Nikolai changed and the whole world was unfamiliar.
