After the September 18 Incident, japan quickly occupied the northeast and Mongolia of our country, and at this time they found themselves in a dilemma. Because their next plan was to go south to occupy all of China, but they were afraid that the Soviet Union would attack the Kwantung Army from behind to support China.
Although the Japanese were very arrogant and did not take the Soviets seriously, they also knew that they were not capable of fighting on two fronts at the same time. Therefore, we must first solve the big hidden danger of the Soviet Union.
Since the Soviet Union did not go to war with Germany in Europe at that time, it was fully capable of mobilizing troops to the Eastern Front to contain the Japanese, and the Japanese Army Headquarters was very worried about this.
In the eyes of the Japanese, the biggest factor why the Soviet Union firmly supported China's resistance to Japan was Stalin, the supreme leader of the Soviet Union.
Thus the Japanese drew up a plan for the benefit of stalin, and the Soviets' plan to move eastward was likely to be shelved. The Japanese began to seriously plan assassinations according to their own whimsical brain circuits, but Stalin was not an ordinary person, and assassinating him was probably the most difficult operation in the world.
After studying for half a day, the Japanese did not find a breakthrough, after all, the KGB, the most elite intelligence organization in the world, was responsible for protecting Stalin.
Just when the Japanese were at a loss, a Russian who had defected from the Soviet Side came to the northeast and brought what the Japanese dreamed of.
This man, Lyushkov, was originally the far eastern governor of the Soviet Ministry of the Interior, and he seemed to have a special hatred for Stalin, vowing to help the Japanese get rid of Stalin and avenge himself.
So who exactly is this Lyushkov? What kind of enmity did he have with Stalin?
The story also begins with Stalin's "Great Purge" in 1936, which was very widespread and involved. Many outstanding party members and cadres, even meritorious generals, were purged, and the fate was very tragic.
It is said that the number of Soviet unions who were purged was as high as 1.28 million, and this great purge had an extremely bad impact on the Soviet Union, and the whole Soviet Union was panicked!
This Lyushkov, due to his outstanding work, was promoted quickly and later received an important task. If he can accomplish this task well, what awaits him in the future is the peak of his life. Therefore, Lyushkov is very serious about this work, conscientious and conscientious, and he is full of hope for his future life.
It should be noted here that this Lyushkov is very good, until this time his life has been smooth, and there are almost no major setbacks.
His job was to build a hot spring villa in Sochi for Supreme Leader Stalin, which was a perfect opportunity to express himself in front of the leader. Lyushkov was involved in all the details of the work and lived on the construction site himself for several months. He had personally inspected every inch of the floor wall in the villa, and was more familiar with it than he was in his own home.
In sochi, a scenic Russian resort, there is a hot spring that is known as the best in the world--- Matsista Hot Springs. Stalin's health was not very good, and he had to go there every year to soak in the hot springs for treatment.
Later, in order to allow the leaders to enjoy better treatment conditions, the KGB decided to build a luxurious villa on the best spring as a holiday and recuperation place for the Supreme Leader and senior politburo officials.
Lyushkov was the main person in charge of this project, the villa was built very luxuriously and comfortably, and there was a beautiful fountain in the courtyard of the villa.
When Stalin's aide-de-camp came here early, he suddenly became furious with Lyushkov for the simple reason that Stalin hated the fountain. Lyushkov almost fainted on the spot, so he immediately apologized to the adjutant, and then he immediately sent someone to bulldoze the fountain as fast as he could, and then quickly built a flower bed.
Hurrying up, the flower bed was finally completed before Stalin came, and when Stalin arrived, he was very satisfied with the hot spring villa, but he did not thank the staff or say a word of appreciation.
By this time, Lyushkov had been frightened out of his mind, because if the leader was slightly dissatisfied, he could be classified as the target of purging at any time. Fortunately, Stalin did not have any grievances, but due to Lyushkov's previous mistakes, his files were stained, especially when it came to the service of Stalin.
Originally, this mistake had nothing to do with Lyushkov, but it was hardly recorded on his head, and it was precisely because of this stain that Lyushkov was not promoted to Moscow, but was sent to the icy Far East.
The great future that Lyushkov longed for in his heart was completely destroyed because of one of Stalin's preferences, and Lyushkov, who was sent to the Far East, was very upset, and the hatred for Stalin in his heart became stronger and stronger.
At the same time, he worries that his stain is a time bomb, and he may be turned over and condemned at some point.
Therefore, Lyushkov did not stop and simply defected to the northeast to join the Japanese.
Lyushkov defected to Japan, not without money, he himself was from the KGB, and after being sent to the Far East, he was also responsible for intelligence work. At that time, he happened to have mastered the Soviet Union's troop deployment in the Far East and its strategic plan for Japan, so he thought he had enough chips in his hands.
The Japanese found Lyushkov really valuable, so they ostensibly treated him with great hospitality and kept taking more information out of his mouth. Soon the intelligence in Lyushkov's pocket was all grasped by the Japanese, and they gradually became cold to this traitor.
Lyushkov also seemed to feel that the Japanese now considered him to be of little value, so he told the story of the Matsta Hot Spring Villa in order to gain the japanese's reuse. And he told the Japanese that he was familiar with Stalin's habits and routines, as well as when to go to the hot springs every year.
In addition, there is another thing that no one knows, the Matsesta Spa Villa has a major security flaw, through which it can enter the villa to assassinate Stalin.
At this time, Kenji Doihara, the head of the Intelligence Agency of the Japanese Kwantung Army, was planning a very risky assassination plan against Stalin, which the Japanese named "Ussuri Tiger Project".
In order to ensure the smooth implementation of the plan, Kenji Doihara also specially transferred a senior agent from the Army Staff Headquarters, who was responsible for preparing and organizing personnel to carry out the assassination plan.
The name of this senior agent was Takeda Takeo.
Because the Japanese and soviets were so different in appearance and size that the Japanese were not suitable for infiltrating Sochi, Takeda recruited six Defectors from Russia or Belarus.
These few people were all militaryly trained and skilled, and all of them hated the Soviet Union and Stalin to the bone, and they had a deep hatred, and they could die for the assassination of Stalin.
The six men, together with Lyushkov, totaled seven, were responsible for drawing up and explaining the assassination plan, because only he knew everything about the scene inside the hot spring villa.
Lyushkov first drew the blueprint of the whole villa inside and out, and then made a model, explaining the route and plan of the assassination to the members of the assassination team.
The security loophole of the hot spring villa is actually very simple, the water in the villa will be discharged into the distant river through the sewer, so this distance is relatively long.
There was not only one bathroom for Stalin in the villa, but also 12 small bathrooms, but when Stalin came, no one else could come in, and the other bathrooms were no longer in use.
Especially at night, the drainage of the hot spring will be reduced, and the water in the sewer is only below the knee, and people can climb down the sewer into the villa at this time.
There is a drainage grille on the kitchen floor of the villa, and the waste water is directly poured into it, and this grille can be opened directly. The kitchen was so close to Stalin's bathroom that as long as it lurked in the kitchen, it was possible to act after Stalin entered the bathroom.
According to the clues provided by Lyushkov, after Stalin entered the bathroom, there would be two guards in the corridor, and two personal guards at the entrance of the bathroom, and no one else would be allowed to appear in the corridor.
In addition to Stalin, the bathroom sometimes had a waiter and a masseuse, but it was not fixed, depending on whether Stalin needed it or not.
In order to cooperate with the training of Takeda Lyushkov's group, Takeda Ordered to build a hot spring villa, exactly like That of Matsesta. Even the carpets, curtains, walls, doors and windows inside were looked at by Lyushkov, and it was confirmed that there was no difference between them and the actual scene.
Lyushkov led the team to infiltrate the team at night, and then waited overnight before simulating rushing into the corridor to kill the guards with a silent pistol and smashing the bathroom to assassinate Stalin.
This simulation was performed countless times until they could complete it with their eyes closed.
The "Ussuri Tiger Project" was so classified that with the exception of Lyuskov and Kenji Doihara, even Takeda didn't know who to target, and Lyushkov was just talking about a big man.
Just three days before the group set out, Takeda learned that the target of the Ussuri tiger's plan was stalin, and it was clear from the precision of Lyushkov's training that they were determined to succeed in the operation. At this time, the code name of the operation was called "Bear Project" or "Bear Hunting Project"!
At this point, all those in the know have been restricted from travelling and are not allowed to have contact with the outside world until the end of the operation. Just a day before the operation, Takeda asked the guards to help him send a package, the recipient of which was called Nakanishi Gong.
Nakanishi is the famous red spy of the Soviet Union buried inside Japan, the comrade-in-arms of the legendary agent Sorge. Takeda was the most important ace agent of the Soviet Union in the Japanese Army.
Soon the Soviet KGB received information from Sorge in Japan, and they had been following the group of people since the Lyushkov group had left China.
In the autumn of 1938, when Lyushkov and his party of seven men crossed europe and infiltrated the Sochi region through Turkey, they were ambushed by elite Soviet troops. Three members of the assassination team were killed on the spot, and Lyushkov was seriously injured and was helped by the other three to escape.
The bear-hunting project was thus defeated before it could get close to Stalin!
Lyushkov recuperated for a while after returning to Japan, and after the assassination failed, he and his team members were of little use. But the Japanese kept them because the Germans wanted to cooperate with the Japanese in continuing to assassinate Stalin.
Despite the non-aggression pact between the Soviet Union and Germany, Stalin understood that Hitler was an ambitious fellow who would sooner or later take action against the Soviet Union. Therefore, the Soviet Union secretly reached a joint anti-fascist agreement with Britain, France and other countries, and Hitler was furious when he learned of it, vowing to make Stalin pay the price.
So Hitler ordered the assassination of Stalin, and german agents had a hard time infiltrating the Soviet Union and they had a hard time getting close to Stalin. However, they had heard that the Japanese had a Soviet assassination team that had tried to assassinate Stalin, but had failed due to leaks.
Therefore, they hope that the two sides can cooperate and join forces to eliminate the common enemy Stalin.
The Japanese secret service was so willing to cooperate with the Nazis in the assassination, so they sent Lyushkov's team to Germany to negotiate the details with a senior Japanese officer, and this agent was none other than Takeda Takeo.
The Germans invented a special explosive, which was used in small amounts but was powerful, and could be made into various shapes and applied in various colors.
Their plan was simple: Lyushkov's group, taking advantage of their familiarity with the Soviet Union, infiltrated Moscow, disguised the explosives as flowers, and placed them next to Stalin, and when the time came, the timer would detonate the bombs and send Stalin back to his hometown.
To boost the confidence of Lyushkov and Takeda, the Germans invited them to watch the explosives test. They found a small cave in the suburbs, placed a dummy outside the entrance, activated the timer, and retreated to a safe area.
Takeda Andeo and the others stared at the scene of the cave entrance with a telescope in the safe area, only to see that when the time came, only to hear a loud noise, the small cave was actually blown up, and the dummy at the mouth of the cave was directly blown into powder and disappeared.
All present were soldiers, and they understood that the power of this explosive was extraordinary, and that if it could be placed near Stalin, he would surely die.
However, even if Lyushkov and others were able to infiltrate Moscow, it would be almost impossible for them to get close to Stalin, and Lyushkov was still a wanted criminal in the Soviet Union.
The Germans also thought for them that Stalin would definitely appear in public at two times a year, one was National Day and the other was May Day.
Every year on the first of May, Stalin would go to Lenin's Tomb to pay homage to Lenin and then give a speech there, and before the event began, Lenin's Mausoleum was allowed to be visited publicly and flowers were presented, and the flowers of the previous day were kept there.
As long as Lyuskov and the others had placed flowers under Stalin's podium the day before and quietly waited for the bomb to explode.
The plan was simple, but it was seamless, and with this kind of explosives, there was no need to deliberately approach Stalin at all, just dress up as tourists and place flowers in front of Lenin's mausoleum.
Originally, Takeda was supposed to participate in the operation with Lyushkov, but before he left, he was urgently recalled to Japan. After returning to Japan, he was eager to get the message out, but not within the stipulated time for the joint.
With Labor Day approaching, Takeda decided to take the risk of reporting to the organization, and he called Hidemi Ozaki, a subordinate of Sorge, and asked him to meet him at the park.
This jointing method is very dangerous, and Hidemichi Ozaki criticized Takeda in person, and Takeda did not defend anything. It was only said that the Germans and the Japanese were going to jointly assassinate Comrade Stalin, and the specific situation was written in the intelligence, and after he stuffed a letter to Hidemito Ozaki, he left in a hurry.
Moscow soon obtained the intelligence, which called the assassination "Operation Festival Salute", also known as "Operation Flowers" because the core of the operation was the bomb disguised as a flower.
With the assistance of Nazi agents, Lyushkov and his party successfully infiltrated Moscow, where they stayed in a hotel, lurked, and then made a daily turn around Lenin's Mausoleum to familiarize themselves with the environment.
On 30 April, Lyushkov sent someone to place the bouquet of flowers in front of Lenin's Mausoleum, which was no longer open to the public until Stalin left after his speech.
At 10 a.m. on May 1, Lyushkov and the others nervously crouched down on the radio to listen to Stalin's speech, and what they were waiting for was the loud noise.
But until Stalin finished his speech and left Lenin's Mausoleum, he did not hear any abnormal sounds, and the scene of Lenin's Mausoleum was peaceful.
Just as they were looking at each other, a large number of Soviet gendarmes surrounded the hostel, and Lyushkov realized that the operation had leaked again, and the KGB was sure to follow them after they entered the country.
Lyushkov understood that the Soviets would certainly not spare him, and he knew better about the KGB's methods, so he raised his gun and committed suicide, while his accomplices were all captured.
Through interrogation, the KGB also cracked down on the Nazi intelligence network lurking in the Soviet Union, arresting dozens of spies.
Stalin's ability to safely evade two elaborate assassinations was related to the mysterious "Shadow Agent", who is said to be Takeda Takeo.
However, it should be noted that the two assassinations did exist in history, but it has not yet been determined who revealed the information to the Soviet side.
Our use of Takeda as the protagonist of the story is only one version of the many legends, which is a personal opinion.
For example, it is recorded that before the implementation of the bear hunting plan, the Japanese discovered that a Soviet spy code-named "Leo" was lurking among them, so they speculated that it was this "Leo" who leaked the intelligence.
But it is not known who this "Leo" is, whether he is a member of Lyushkov's group, and the code name has disappeared ever since.
There are also sources that takeda does not exist, and that the news of the bear hunting plan was obtained by the Sorge group themselves.
The intelligence leak in Operation Flowers is also related to the Sorge group, but it is not known who it is, and there is no record of this matter on the German and Japanese sides, and some relevant files of the Soviet Side have not been completely declassified.
Therefore, who this mysterious "shadow" agent really is is still a mystery.
In addition, it should be said that Takeda Takeshio is a real person, but there is very little information about him, and the Japanese authorities have no such person at all. This is not surprising, of course, because Japanese intelligence had destroyed or hidden many classified documents before handing over information to the Allies.
There are too many things that the Japanese people don't want to know and don't want the outside world to know, and it is normal for them to destroy them.
The reason why Takeda Takeshio is real is not speculation. In 1964, the Soviets posthumously awarded Sorge the title of "Hero of the Soviet Union", and along with him was a colonel named Andrei, whose Japanese name was "Takeda Takeshio"!
It is recorded that on February 7, 1945, Takeda Tooko went out to inspect the border defenses of the Kwantung Army, and has since disappeared until 10 months later, when he miraculously appeared at the U.S. military headquarters in Japan.
It is said that during the Korean War he provided a lot of valuable information to our army, and in 1954 he mysteriously disappeared again, and since then there has been no news of this person in history.
Who is he? Is he dead, or is he still alive in this world? We will only know after all the files are decrypted in the future, or perhaps we will never know his final destination.
Finally, it should be noted that Takeda Ishio is not an authentic Japanese, he is a Chinese, formerly known as Wang Yixiong! His father and Li Dazhao were classmates, and his introducer to the party was Lin Biao's brother Lin Yuying!
I am the Phantom of Shi Hai, and I am following me to praise history.
