On the western front, the formed units of the United Nations Army retreated to the south bank of the Han River, and the Volunteer Army was not in Seoul and Goyang City, and only stationed observation teams and reconnaissance teams on a few hills in the north of the city.In the past two months, the two sides have just stared at each other from the air. The U.S. military shouted, "Come here, let me have a look at the Han River if you have the ability." Send troops into Seoul for a tour."
Of course, behind the front-line infantry of the Volunteer Army and the United Nations Army, there are artillery positions in Wuyang Wuyang. Our army has an artillery division, a rocket artillery division, and three division artillery regiments. The US military has 18 on the south bank of the Han River on the western front. 105 and 155mm artillery battalions, 2 203mm artillery battalions.

"Commander Su, have a good journey, and I wish the battle a victory."
Tang Hua bid farewell to Su Yu and Zhang Zhen at the War Information Center.
Suyu will leave Beijing tomorrow and head to Xiamen with the former enemy headquarters and staff team. The Taiwan campaign has entered the countdown stage.The secret special train runs from Beijing to Shanghai, and then flies directly to Xiamen from Shanghai.
"The comrades in the logistics center in Xiamen are very capable and reliable," Secretary Deng shook hands with Su Yu, "The logistics preparations for the battle are complicated, but fortunately we have completed all the mobilization of soldiers, materials and ships. The soldiers are strong and the horses are strong, and the ammunition and food are sufficient."
"Secretary Deng managed the logistical supply of hundreds of thousands of troops neatly, and it was completed without anyone noticing it." Su Yu said, "But it's a pity, the two of us should have commanded the battle side by side in Xiamen."
Secretary Deng smiled, and said disapprovingly: "Isn't it just a small island to destroy Chiang Kai-shek? You are enough."
Secretary Deng was the commander-in-chief of the Taiwan campaign, and Su Yu was the commander-in-chief of the former enemy in the Taiwan campaign.
In fact, Secretary Deng, the commander-in-chief, can also go to Fujian together, and coordinate the campaign organization work at the headquarters in Xiamen.Although the communication systems in Beijing and Xiamen are unimpeded now, it is always good to be present in person.
However, a week ago, the Prime Minister found Secretary Deng. There were two important meetings of the Government Administration Council and the State Planning Commission in early April, and he wanted to ask Secretary Deng to stay in Beijing so that he could be ready for the meeting at any time.
Secretary Deng listened to the Prime Minister's explanation and nodded in agreement.
Tang Hua was also surprised to know that Secretary Deng was left in Beijing by the Prime Minister and could only serve as a "backup" for the Taiwan campaign in the war situation center.
But since it was decided by the prime minister and agreed by the chairman, then... then Tang Hua has nothing to do with it.

Moscow.
The Kuntsevo Villa on the outskirts of Moscow is not far from the Kremlin, in a forest.The unremarkable villa is equipped with two walls and the most advanced security system. The villa security staff are all politically reliable and experienced internal guard soldiers.
In the past two days, the security atmosphere at the Kuntsewo Villa seems to be more tense than ever.
The Kuntsevo Villa was the residence of Stalin, and Beria, Malenkov, and Khrushchev were frequent visitors to the Kuntsevo Villa.In the late Stalin era, high-level Soviet officials generally used the frequency of attending Stalin dinners at the Kuntsevo Villa to speculate on an official's power and career prospects.Compared with other officials who were summoned by Stalin only once a year and a half, Beria, Malenkov, and Khrushchev appeared on the dining table of Stalin's house two or three times a week, almost treating the villa as their second home. canteen.
On March 3, Stalin invited the three of them to dinner, after which they continued to smoke, drink and talk about things until five in the morning.During the conversation, Stalin pointed his pipe at Khrushchev and told him to come here again tomorrow night.
At 3:13 pm on March 6, Khrushchev asked the driver to take him to the Kuntsevo Villa. When he entered, he saw that someone was already preparing dinner, but he did not see Stalin.
"Comrade Chairman hasn't woken up yet."
Khrushchev walked to the closed bedroom door and knocked lightly on the door.
"Comrade Chairman? ... Comrade Stalin? ... Joseph?"
……
It is now March 3th.
The security guards, servants, and cleaners were screened away, and only Beria, Malenkov, and Khrushchev sat silently in the small living room.
Stalin was in the bedroom, with three doctors beside him.
On the afternoon of the 13th, Khrushchev asked the servant to open the door of the bedroom, and Stalin fell beside the bed.It has now been 3 days and 15 hours. Stalin was in a coma most of the time, and occasionally opened his eyes, but he could not speak or move his body. He could only twist his neck and look at the people around him.
The doctors who were first summoned were in a hurry. It was roughly determined that Stalin might have stayed up late last night drinking, and got up too violently during the day, causing a cerebral hemorrhage and paralyzing most of his body.And to make matters worse, there were no first-aid medicines and equipment in Stalin's dacha.
Stalin smoked, was addicted to alcohol, stayed up late, and loved to eat big oil and big meat.In addition to heart disease, he also suffered from appendicitis, pharyngitis, and cirrhosis of the liver... Living to the age of 75 already shows that Soviet medicine is very advanced.
Seeing Stalin like this, Khrushchev immediately called the medical team to come over, then called Beria and Malenkov, and the three discussed at the villa what to do. This was already the third day of the three-person meeting up.
"In order to ensure that there is no chaos and panic in the country, and to ensure the smooth implementation of the domestic and foreign policies formulated by the party and the government, it is necessary to make a series of arrangements for the party and state leaders in terms of organization." Malenkov said.
"I propose Comrade Malenkov to be chairman of the Council of Ministers," Beria said.
"I propose that Comrade Beria serve as the first vice-chairman of the Council of Ministers and Minister of the Interior." As the chairman (prime minister) of the Council of Ministers himself, Malenkov also arranged for Beria to have a decent position.
Khrushchev:? ?You mention each other, what about me, I mention myself?
"Comrade Stalin has always been the chairman of the Council of Ministers and the first secretary of the CPSU Central Committee, and now Comrade Stalin..." Khrushchev started, because he hadn't fully thought out what to say next, so he could only speak carefully and carefully. .
"Yes, so I can only be the first secretary of the CPSU Central Committee." Malenkov said with a heavy heart.

Tula.
"Hey! The radio has sound!" Wang Ruofei yelled, "Fuchun Fuchun, your Russian is better than mine, come and listen together."
Li Fuchun and Wang Ruofei put their heads together on the radio to listen.
This time the broadcast is not any inherent column.There is no opening music.The speaking speed is so slow that even Wang Ruofei, who speaks average Russian, can fully understand it.
Listening and listening, the faces of the two gradually changed.
Wang Ruofei opened the window and looked out the window, wanting to see the movement in the dormitory area outside the hotel and on the street.
There was no movement on the streets at dusk.
But if Wang Ruofei's gaze could penetrate the wall, those families who just got off work and are preparing dinner or eating, some with the radio on, and some with the TV on, when they heard the news of Stalin's death, their first reaction would be either sadness or Desperate, but dazed.
"Comrades,..."
All the members of the inspection team were called to his room for a small meeting. After Li Fuchun said the three words "comrades", he didn't know what to say.
"Comrade Stalin has passed away. There are still two days left for the investigation in Tula, but we should hurry up and finish what we have to do. Tonight or tomorrow, the embassy and liaison office may recall us to Moscow."

Chapter 27, does not affect North Korea and Taiwan
England, Buckingham Palace.
"Mr. Prime Minister, the news of Stalin's death does not seem to make you smile."
Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden raised the teacup and put it down again, adding an extra spoonful of sugar.
"It's just that Stalin died, not the disappearance of the Soviet Union. Besides, even if you just said 'the Soviet Union is gone', that's just mixed news."
"Hitler only kept the world in chaos for 6 years, but this strongman has made all European countries uneasy for 30 years. Including Russia."
"To make Russia uneasy? Ha, maybe it's just our diplomacy and propaganda rhetoric." Churchill said, "When he took over Russia, Russia had only wooden plows; and when he died, Russia already had the atomic bomb. He created it Even after his death, the Soviet Union will continue to compete with the United States for global hegemony. . . . Although it is an opponent, I still have respect for Stalin.”
