...

The night faded, the sun shone, and the Sukhoi fighter jet painted with big red five-pointed stars was still flying smoothly between the sky and the sea.

At the same time, thousands of kilometers away from the far east, almost seven time zones away, the capital of the huge Red Empire had just crossed a dividing line at midnight. In the brightly lit city, there were still many people busy all night for this war.

The melodious bell rang, and a new day had just arrived. Located on the banks of the Moscow River, located in the Kremlin on the Borovitski hills, countless lights reflected the vast night sky with thin clouds floating, huge city gate towers and arrow towers, and above the towering conical spires, the red stars of Kremlin made of red crystals shine brightly, and the huge power light emits a never-dark red light through the dazzling crystals.

After a few counts, from early spring to the cold winter October (Russian calendar), the baptism of war came inadvertently. After nearly 300 war days and nights, artillery fire and gunpowder smoke could not cover the light of the red star at all. Facing the vicious enemy, the Soviet Socialist Republic Alliance, which was once unprecedentedly powerful but once subsided, still took solid steps and moved side by side with all members of the Eastern Group of Nations.

Once the war begins, the giant ship carrying the fate of all mankind moves slowly, and the foggy road is almost impossible to see the end.

However, no matter what, no matter when, ideals and beliefs are destined to be forgotten by everyone, from the armored trains in Tharizin, to the steel torrents of Kursk, to the scattered artillery fire that conquered Berlin. Whenever the country and nation reach the most dangerous moment, there will always be a sound solemnly. The defenders who picked up the weapons are fearless. They strive to move forward in the fire and smoke, building an unbreakable barrier with blood, life and the corpses of the enemy, and let the flame flag of the sickle hammer five-pointed star fly high on the dome of the Kremlin.

The Kremlin, in the huge building that carries the long history of this land, the footsteps of war also echo in every corner for a long time.

It was already dark, and it was just midnight. In the simple and unpretentious decoration, but the lines showed a bit of majestic power, a regular meeting of the Soviet Union government was underway. Ministers, who had been busy all day, gathered in the spacious conference room to listen to the brief speech of General Secretary Konstantin Malenkov.

The meeting tonight is basically similar to the content and form of the past. The meetings are all the supervisors of government agencies of the Soviet Union, and at least the level of assistant ministers. Everyone can speak freely in the venue, communicate with each other's work progress in recent times, and coordinate affairs between multiple departments. Although it is not a formal meeting itself, it can often help officials solve many problems.

But today's midnight. What was different from usual was that General Secretary Malenkov also appeared at the conference table next to the seat of the conference host Alexey Kosigin.

The General Secretary attended the regular meeting, which made everyone feel a little more restrained from the beginning, but Malenkov saw it one by one. He smiled faintly at everyone present, and cleared his throat to explain his purpose. He mainly explained face to face the documents and contact letters from some government agencies to the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union and the Political Bureau, and explained the overall situation of the alliance in recent times and the war situation that the country is experiencing, and then he would "leave quietly like a real layman, leaving all his precious time to the experts here."

A few short sentences caused everyone to burst into laughter. Seeing that the atmosphere on the scene became much more active, Malenkov picked up the water cup and took a sip, looked at the draft in his hand and started speaking.

"Okay, comrades, I'll save some time and just talk about the topic.

In recent days, after reading some materials passed to the secretary's office, I found that the comrades in our government agencies are indeed good at thinking and the questions raised are also valuable.

For example, I will not quote the news and editorials of the TASS News Agency on the recent outbreak of the Far East. To put it bluntly, now, both within the party, in our government agencies, and even in the society, have some opinions on their own, that our Soviet Union took the initiative to launch this war, and it is based on an unconfirmed reason: "Japan secretly developed nuclear weapons" and this one is rashly starting a war, both in strategy and in theory, it is a bit hasty, right?"

Speaking of this, when he looked at the government officials present, seeing that most of the people were confused, but some people looked strange, Malenkov smiled and waved his hand, "Oh, no matter whether there is such an opinion or not, it is okay to propose it and discuss it. There is no need to hide it. I don't think there will be American spies in our venue!

Didn’t I just say that I should ‘learn a long story’, so first let’s talk about these two issues. First, is this a fact about ‘Japan’s secret development of nuclear weapons’?

Second, do the Japanese have nuclear weapons now?

In my opinion, these two questions are actually the same thing. Everyone here has their own full-time jobs. Our full-time agency: the National Security Council, has conducted a very thorough investigation of this. But here, I must remind all comrades that before asking this question, I would like to ask you a question, what is the answer you want to get, is it a truth in the 'real sense' or a truth in the 'political sense'?"

Having said that, the General Secretary’s tone with his eyebrows slightly raised paused, and the listeners’ thoughts also started to work with the speech. Seeing that the attendees were either contemplating in confusion or nodding secretly, Konstantin Malenkov knew that everyone understood the difference in their hearts, so he nodded and continued:

"Very good, then I don't need to say anything, comrades understand."

"——Then, Comrade General Secretary,——Does the Japanese have nuclear bombs? If so, I feel that I should level the country immediately!"

"Oh,——is it?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the General Secretary saw a young man sitting far away from the long table raising his hand to speak. The officials who were in great concentration next to him were tilting their heads to look at him. Malenkov just smiled "haha". To be honest, as a young man, he should really have such motivation. What kind of "political significance" is another matter:

“You ask if there is any?

——Yes! Of course, yes, what I said here, believe it or not depends on you."

"Oh-I understand, Comrade General Secretary!"

"Haha, just understand,"

Looking at the young man who looked flushed and seemed to have just come back to his senses, Konstantin Malenkov laughed cheerfully, "So, aren't we doing this now? 'Planting Japan', Yes, this is actually a good idea. Then I'll talk about this matter by the way, why did our Soviet Union of Socialist Republics take the initiative to launch this battle in the Far East?"

As soon as the General Secretary changed his words, everyone here understood the words and planned to listen to Malenkov's explanation.

After all, if we consider "whether Japan has nuclear weapons" from the perspective of "political significance", the answer does not actually require the KGB to investigate vigorously: "Yes, they are," can be used to make evidence if they say they do not? If they cannot be raised, then this accusation cannot be denied, so this question does not need to be questioned at all. What the government officials of the Red Empire are really concerned about is why the Political Bureau and the Supreme Command chose to launch an offensive in the Far East.

Isn't that true, since "Japan's secret research and development of nuclear weapons" is only a "political significance", if it only joins NATO, it will start a war with the Far East where the Soviet Union is relatively weak and the potential for war is relatively limited, isn't it a bit reckless?

After a brief pause in his speech, he noticed the doubts of the people in the venue. Malenkov's infectious voice was still stable, and his words were as slow as ever:

"I personally have no opinions on the battles, news, and editorial styles in the Far East.

Indeed, the reason why our Soviet Union wanted to start a war in the Far East was because such a comprehensive contest between the East and the West was not the "personal grudge" between our country and the United States, but a showdown involving two camps, two systems, and two world development trajectories. In such a war, to some extent, no country on the planet we are on can be completely out of the matter, and can continue to live like before just waiting for the war to settle.

Looking back on the not-far past, on that cold winter night in 1917, the red flag rose in the vast Russian land, and the torrent of revolution washed away one by one, gradually establishing today's coю3_coвetcknx_coцnaлnctnctnчecknx_pecпy6лnk; such a difficult journey is different from the countless dynasties in history, and is completely different from the internal and external wars of capitalist countries. Although the new regime still has many shortcomings and has taken some detours, this still marks the birth of a new system. It is from the perspective of the Maxist sensitors, re-planning for the development of human civilization, and bravely proposed another development path besides "capitalism, imperialism and then global imperialism".

Compared with the path of capitalism, here I just want to summarize it in one sentence, that is, 'In the transformation from capitalism to socialism, the proletariat lose only chains, but what they get is the whole world!'
