That night, Beria said goodbye to his family at the train station. It was not until the train was about to start that he boarded the train with great reluctance.

In fact, Beria was not willing to leave Moscow. To be precise, he was unwilling to leave Stalin. As mentioned earlier, during an assassination attempt in 1933, Beria risked his life to protect Stalin with his body, thus gaining Stalin's great trust and began to soar. Just a few years later, he began to take charge of relevant work of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, allowing the internal affairs department to The Ministry became a pervasive intelligence agency and played an extremely important role in Stalin's Great Purge. Most Soviet people, especially senior Soviet officers and officials, were under Beria's surveillance. As long as Beria is willing, they can easily publicly arrest or secretly assassinate anyone, which naturally offends many people.

Even the God of War Zhukov had an affair with him. During the Battle of Kiev that broke out in July 1941 in the original time and space, Zhukov advocated abandoning Kiev and letting the troops retreat to the other side of the Dnieper River to avoid being encircled by the German army, and then fully defend Moscow. But Stalin wanted the troops to hold on to Kyiv. For this reason, the two had a fierce quarrel. Zhukov was a gunman. How could he make more noise than Stalin, who was famous for his verbal sparring in the Soviet Union? Zhukov, who had no place to vent, rushed out of the door and cursed in a low voice at the door, "hateful moustache." Beria, who was standing at the door, heard it and immediately reported it to Stalin. Zhukov was called to Stalin and asked who he called a hateful mustache. After all, Zhukov was a general who had been on the battlefield and killed people. How could he be frightened by such a scene and directly said who else could it be (there is another theory It was Zhukov who said very cleverly that it was Hitler, that bastard!).

Although Stalin did not do anything to him, Zhukov knew who had tipped off Stalin. After all, he and Beria were the only two people at the door at that time; the conflict between the two deepened. It was not until Stalin died after the war that everyone united to liquidate Beria. Marshal Zhukov personally commanded the troops to arrest the arrogant Beria and put an end to his resentment.

Normally, with Comrade Stalin's majesty and power, even if others were dissatisfied with him, they would dare not speak out. Now the entire Soviet Union is in a precarious state, teetering on the edge of collapse. If those people in Siberia really have any different intentions at this time, wouldn't his trip be like "a sheep entering a tiger's mouth"?

But Beria did not dare to disobey Comrade Stalin's order, so he had no choice but to head to Siberia.

The train moved slowly until the platform in the distance shrank to a point, and then I arrived in my carriage.

As soon as he took off his coat, he noticed from the corner of his eye a white envelope on the table.

"..." He casually hung the coat on the hanger and walked forward to pick up the envelope. There was only the words "Dearly addressed to you, Comrade Beria" on the envelope, and there was no sender.

"Who put this here?" Beria frowned slightly and opened the envelope.

What was in the envelope was not a letter, but a photo.

"!!" After just one glance, Beria was stunned for a moment. Cold sweat broke out on his back and soaked his clothes. The cold hairs stood upright, making him feel as if he had fallen into an ice cellar. cold.

There were two people in the photo, a man and a woman. Beria recognized them at a glance as Alyosha Swanidze and Maria Swanidze, Comrade Stalin's eldest son and Yakov's uncle and aunt. !

After Yakov's "rebellion", Comrade Stalin ordered him to execute the two men, but when he arrived at their residence, he found that the two men had disappeared. For the sake of his own life, Beria lied to Stalin that he had executed the two men. (Chapter 722) I thought that the Swanitzer family had escaped and would never dare to show their faces again, and would only live in anonymity for the rest of their lives. I didn’t expect that the photos of these two people would appear here!

He also noticed that the newspaper Alyosha Svanidze was holding was published two days ago, which is when this photo was taken.

"Damn it, what the hell is going on?!" Thinking of what would happen if this photo fell into the hands of Comrade Stalin, Beria felt his legs become weak and almost collapsed on the ground.

Fortunately, he had also experienced strong winds and waves and had seen the big world; he quickly calmed down and began to analyze the situation in front of him.

The first thought is that this is a German conspiracy! After all, if "one of our own" was responsible, this photo would have been on Comrade Stalin's desk, and he and his family would have been taken to the execution ground long ago, so there would be no chance of going to Siberia.

"..." The Germans did not hand the photo directly to Comrade Stalin, but gave it to themselves. What do you mean? !

Threaten him? !

This threat is really serious!

Unless he immediately takes out his gun and commits suicide, he will have no choice but to be at the mercy of the other party and become his puppet.

Tell Comrade Stalin frankly and seek leniency?

Unfortunately, this idea is too naive. No one in power would allow his subordinates to deceive him, no matter what their original intentions were. For example, the "crime of deceiving the emperor" existed in ancient China for a long time. Although it refers to a category of crime and there is no specific crime, the literal meaning is the crime of deceiving the emperor.

These deceivers usually end up with only one outcome, which is to be killed to scare the monkeys.

And even if Beria immediately took out his gun and died to apologize, he would still be infamy for forever, and even his family would also be implicated. After all, he is very familiar with this kind of "procedure".

Just then his secretary walked in and was shocked to see Beria, who was soaked with sweat. "Comrade Beria, what's wrong with you?! Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere? Do you want to call a doctor?!"

"..." Beria narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at this confidant who had been with him for more than ten years, wondering if he was also a German spy? !

"Comrade Beria..." The secretary felt a little frightened by his gaze, and saw Beria waving his hand. "I'm fine, you go out first, no one is allowed in without my order!"

"yes!"

The secretary quickly withdrew, and Beria lay weakly on the sofa, continuing to stare at the photo in his hand.

Now there is only one way before him, and that is to become a "traitor"!

"These damn Germans!" Beria was on the verge of tears. He forced a person to become a "traitor". The Germans' methods were too despicable! !

After cursing fiercely for a while, he sighed in great frustration.

What just confused him was that the Germans only gave this photo but no other information. What did this mean? Could it be that he was asked to take the initiative to contact them?

As the Soviet Union's largest spy chief, he naturally has many ways to contact the Germans.
