After the 98th Army held a military parade, the situation in China began to surge.

After receiving Chiang Kai-shek's order, the Kuomintang troops stationed in Qinyang sent troops to stop the 98th Army from sending troops out.

Lu Mingxuan ordered his troops to attack Qinyang without hesitation. Faced with the fierce attack of hundreds of tanks and hundreds of heavy artillery, Qinyang's Kuomintang troops finally surrendered to the 98th Army.

The 98th Army also took advantage of the situation to capture Qinyang, and the 98th Army's territory in Jiyuan finally expanded by half.

Lu Mingxuan, who was in a happy mood, decided to turn on the whole country. Although the Kuomintang in Qinyang carried out a weak resistance, since it did not cause excessive casualties to the 98th Army, Lu Mingxuan decided to exempt all agricultural taxes from Qinyang.

As soon as this news came out, the people of Qinyang were of course cheering and many people took to the streets to express their support for the 98th Army.

Chiang Kai-shek, who had lost his wife and soldiers, was of course very dissatisfied, but there was no good way except to find someone to scold Lu Mingxuan in the newspaper.

After learning that Lu Mingxuan announced that he would exempt Qinyang from agricultural tax, many areas in North China became turbulent.

A large number of farmers and students marched on the streets with the support of various forces, requiring the local garrison not to resist the entry of the 98th Army, and it is best to hand over the local city directly to the 98th Army for management.[

Of course, the Kuomintang troops were very dissatisfied with this. Although they wanted to suppress this marching trend, because Lu Mingxuan stated that these marchings were protected by the 98th Army, anyone who dared to suppress these marchings would be liquidated by the 98th Army afterwards.

Therefore, those Kuomintang troops turned a blind eye to this. After all, many people also think that the Kuomintang is about to fail, and they have to leave a way out for themselves.

So, with the support of the 98th Army, those parades seemed even more reckless throughout North China.

The parades in some places even occupied the county government buildings and police stations, and the county governments and police could only recognize the bad things. In the end, they moved out of their offices to show goodwill to the 98th Army.

Faced with this worse situation, the Kuomintang began to dispatch troops and sent a large number of local warlords to strong cities in North China to deal with the first wave of fierce attacks by the 98th Army.

Some of Huangpu's direct troops were transferred back to the south of the Yangtze River to strengthen the defense of the Yangtze River front line.

The 98th Army also made great moves, and Lu Mingxuan sent a large number of troops to the five major military bases and coastal cities.

Seeing that Lu Mingxuan was planning to garrison troops in coastal cities, Chiang Kai-shek was of course anxious.

He strictly ordered the 98th Army to forbid any troops to the coastal cities. But Lu Mingxuan would not obey his orders.

As a result, a medium-sized battle broke out between the two sides in Qingdao. In the end, the 98th Army won and then occupied the entire Qingdao.

Faced with this situation, Chiang Kai-shek was anxious and angry. But he didn't have many ways, after all, his arms could not twist his thighs.

In the end, he could only order troops from all over North China to step up the construction of fortifications to stop the 98th Army's attack.

Although marches and demonstrations were surging everywhere, and the 98th Army and the Kuomintang were constantly in conflict, the large-scale military exercises conducted by Jiyuan were also very attractive.

In order to demonstrate the powerful military strength of the 98th Army, the 98th Army's military exercises were almost completely open to the ordinary people.

The carpet bombing carried out by those B29 bombers, the fierce shelling of Gustav cannons, the assault of tank clusters and the intensive launch of rocket launchers did not open people's eyes.[

While admiring the strength of the 98th Army, they also strengthened the confidence that the 98th Army would surely replace the Kuomintang.

But just when Lu Mingxuan thought everything would develop according to his plan, the distant Moscow made a conversation that was completely unexpected to him.

November 20. Kremlin.

Marshal Voroshilov of the People's Committee of National Defense was reporting to Stalin about everything that the Soviet ambassador to China, Bogmolov, had encountered in Jiyuan.

After listening to Voroshilov's report, Stalin couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

It took him a long time to frown and said, "You mean that our b4 heavy hammer had fallen into the hands of the 98th Army at some point, and they also denied it."

"Yes, Comrade Bogmolov protested solemnly to the 98th Army, but the 98th Army denied it. They claimed that their weapons did not come from our Soviet Union, and that their b4 hammers were stronger than ours."

Voroshigv said respectfully.

"Bastard. Our b4 heavy hammer technology has been stolen to build so many giant cannons. Our Ministry of Internal Affairs doesn't even know that Belia is really dereliction of duty."

After hearing his words, Stalin couldn't help but say furiously.

Stalin was a man who liked heavy artillery very much, and the pride of b4 heavy hammer as the Soviets was deeply loved by him.

Therefore, after learning that the b4 heavy hammer technology was stolen, he was of course very angry.

So Stalin, who was more angry, walked around the office like a provoked hero.

During the two years of great purge, Stalin appeared to be increasingly majestic throughout the Soviet Union.

He cleaned 13 of the 15 army commanders in the entire Soviet Red Army, 57 of the 85 commanders, 110 of the 195 division commanders, and 220 of the 440 brigade commanders were cleaned.

In other words, 86% of the commanders, 70% of the army commanders, 60 division commanders and 50% of the brigade commanders were washed away by him.

Even General Liushkov, the head of the Soviet General Politburo who was in charge of the purge in Siberia, defected to Japan because he could not stand such a large number of colleagues.

As can be seen, what was Stalin's reputation in the Soviet Union.

Now let alone anyone dares to disobey Stalin's orders, there are almost no one who dares to speak loudly in front of him.

Stalin, who has been following me for a long time, was particularly angry at Lu Mingxuan's quibbling. He vowed to teach him a lesson.

At this moment, the Soviet Ministry of Internal Affairs Ravrendy Belia knocked on the door and walked in.

After seeing Beria, Stalin, who was angry, asked dissatisfiedly: "Is there anything you have to do?"

Seeing Stalin's face look a little ugly, Belia quickly saluted Stalin and said, "One of our senior spies has received a very important piece of information in Germany, and you need to take a look."

After saying that, he quickly handed over the information in his hand to Stalin.

After taking the information, Stalin quickly looked carefully, but after reading it, he was furious.

"Bastard! That Lu Mingxuan actually planned to attack our great Soviet with the Germans. Is this all true?"

"There shouldn't be any mistake in this?"

Beria said quickly.

After hearing his words, Stalin became even more angry.

But Voroshilov frowned and said to Belia: "Is your information accurate? How did you get such confidential information?"

Belia hesitated for a moment, then glanced at Stalin.

Stalin thought for a while and said, "Just tell Comrade Voroshilov, he is our trustworthy comrade."

After hearing his words, Voroshilov couldn't help but look at Stalin with gratitude. This sentence is really heartwarming.

"It was the information sent to us by Olga Chekhovva."

Beria said quietly to Voroshilov.

"It turned out to be her?"

Voroshilov said in surprise.

Olga Chekhovva was born in the Caucasus region of Tsarist Russia in 1898. Her aunt is the wife of the famous Russian writer Anton Chekhov. She is the most famous actress in the Moscow Art Theater. At the age of 16, she went to Germany due to a broken heart, but became a new star in the film industry. Since then, she has taken on filming movies with a number of 8 movies a year and has become an idol in the hearts of many Germans. One of them is a very famous figure, that is Adolf Hitler.

Because he loved Hitler very much for Olga Chekhovva, he often invited Olga Chekhovva to various banquets of senior Nazi officials. The charming Olga attracted the pursuit of many senior Nazi officials, and Goebbels, the Minister of the Nazi Propaganda Department, called her "the most charming woman."

During World War II, Olga heard Hitler often discuss the war with his subordinates at the banquet. What Hitler never dreamed of was that his favorite "Nazi actress" had actually been secretly developed by the former Soviet Union into a super spy. The senior military secret of Nazi Germany was transmitted to the Kremlin without knowing it.

Of course, Vorov Shilov also heard of this very famous Soviet woman in Germany.

But he never expected that she was actually a senior spy developed by the Soviets.

"This is a high-level secret, don't tell it."

Although Belia believed that Voroshilov would not talk nonsense, he still told him.

Voroshilov nodded. Of course he knew how precious the spy who could invade Hitler was. It can be said that her value was at least as valuable as three Red Army divisions.

"Comrade Voroshilov, do you think we should teach that guy who is more arrogant?"

Stalin said to Voroshilov.

"That's certainly, we must let him know the power of our great Soviet iron fist."

Voroshilov said without hesitation.

It is obvious that Stalin has expressed his hope to teach Lu Mingxuan a lesson. Of course, he has to raise his hands to agree.

He didn't want to die unjustly at the hands of Stalin like those purged Soviet commanders.

Stalin was obviously very satisfied with Voroshilov's statement.

He glanced at the map, then pointed to a place and said, "You think we are here to teach him a lesson. I heard that he plans to go to war with Chiang Kai-shek recently. I think we should help Mr. Chiang at the right time."

Voroshilov glanced at the place where Stalin pointed, which was exactly - Nomenhan.

Although Voroshilov was a little unhappy with the war in this place, he said without hesitation when he thought of the three marshals of the same level as him who had been cleaned soon: "I think this is a very correct idea."

"So who do you think should be the one who commands this war?"

Stalin asked again.

Vorov Shilov thought for a while and said, "I think Zhukov is very good."

"Zhukov?"

Stalin showed a thoughtful look.

"So OK, go back and give Zhukov the order to come to Moscow quickly, and hope he won't let me down."
