reborn super empire

The time has entered December, and the weather is getting colder and colder. Due to the insufficient preparation of the German army in advance and the tenacious resistance of the Soviet army on the western front, the siege of Moscow began to slowly fall into a stalemate. When the time comes, the Soviet army can carry out counterattack operations.

However, at this critical moment, an accident happened again. On the surface, the Soviets were well prepared. Although the Germans attacked the Soviet Union, they signed a non-aggression pact with Su Dao in the East. Therefore, on the premise that the safety of the East can be guaranteed Under such circumstances, the Soviet Red Army continued to deploy troops from the Far East to the Western Front.

It was exactly like this at the beginning. With the confrontation between Su Dao and Chairman Jiang again, the Soviets were more at ease, but who would have thought that the Soviets would fall into a misunderstanding.

They were confused by the smoke bombs released by Su Dao. The confrontation with Chairman Jiang was actually to prepare for war with the Soviet Union. It was less than three days after the Soviets dispatched troops to the Western Front for the last time. At that time, Su Dao's Northern Army Group attacked the Soviet Union in an all-round way.

In just half a month, all the tanks and fighter planes of the Far East Military Region were destroyed, and more than 90.00% of the heavy equipment and air force were lost on the first day of the war.

The start was very smooth, as smooth as the Western Front, and also killed a large number of Soviet fighters on the first day of the war.

However, in desperation, the Soviets had no choice but to redeploy the transferred Soviet Red Army back to the Far East Military Region, but it took nearly six days to go back and forth, and it was these six days that allowed the North Army Group to occupy Lots of advantages.

The Kremlin, this symbolic existence of the Soviet Union.Stalin stayed here for office throughout World War II.Even when the German army surrounded the capital Moscow, they did not move out of here.

But the Kremlin is astonishingly intact, according to the descriptions of postwar German ace pilots.Before each mission, they will get a photo, which is a photo of the Kremlin and other ancillary buildings, clearly marking the key bombing targets.

But those ace pilots are always unable to find the specific location of the Kremlin, as if they disappeared from Moscow. made a huge contribution.

At this time, the Kremlin has completed the camouflage design, although the German Air Force often conducts aerial reconnaissance.But the location of the palace just couldn't be found.

With a cigarette in his right hand, Stalin took two puffs from time to time, his frown never loosened, and everyone in the conference room showed worried expressions, as if they were doing something difficult. Decide.

One wave is not flat, and another wave is rising. Seeing that the situation in Moscow is about to improve, victory is imminent.But at this time, bad news came from the Far East Military Region. In just half a month, the Northern Army Group occupied a large area of ​​the Soviet Union.And also wiped out hundreds of thousands of Soviet Red Army.

For the Soviet Union, which has insufficient troops, it is undoubtedly tantamount to worsening the situation, although the troops of the Far East Military Region will not be called for the time being.They can also complete the counterattack, but the threat in the Far East always exists.

It is precisely because of the existence of this threat in the Far East.Even if the Soviet Union repelled the German troops, it was impossible to continue to pursue the victory.As long as the German offensive is frustrated, they must find a way to restore the situation in the Far East as soon as possible.

Once the North Army Group is allowed to go smoothly as if entering no one's land, the status of the Soviet Union will be very embarrassing internationally, and what worries Stalin most is not the international status of the Soviet Union.

It is the current situation in the Far East. It can be said that the Red Army in the Soviet Far East has lost a quarter, but the loss of the Northern Army Group is not worth mentioning. According to the reported figures, it is estimated that the loss is less than 5. .

For a North Army Group with more than 300 million troops, casualties of less than 5 people are simply drizzle. Even if they fight hard, the Far Eastern Military Region cannot consume too many enemy troops. In the end, after the Far Eastern Military Region is destroyed, then The depth advantage of the Soviet Union is gone.

The arsenal located in the central region will be directly threatened by the Northern Army Group, and the Soviet military industry system will most likely be destroyed. At that time, the situation of the troops will be even worse, and the supply of weapons and ammunition will be even more insufficient than it is now.

At this time, Stalin had no idea and didn't know how to make a choice. Su Dao's sudden participation in the war completely disrupted Stalin's plan. Even though he had gradually gained an advantage in front of him, Stalin still couldn't be happy.

Stalin turned his attention to Zhukov, who was known as a firefighter. This was a person who repeatedly offended Stalin, who repeatedly expressed contrary opinions to Stalin, and who was repeatedly dismissed by Stalin and then climbed up again.

But every choice is correct. Before the defense of Moscow, that is, during the Battle of Kiev, Stalin once removed Zhukov because of a suggestion. It turned out that Zhukov’s decision was correct, but it was too late. , As a result, the Soviet Red Army lost hundreds of thousands of soldiers in vain.

Later, when Moscow encountered difficulties, Zhukov was sent to Moscow to command the battle. After several months of hard work, the war finally turned around, but now...

"Comrade Zhukov, please tell us your opinion, let us have a good discussion."

Seeing that Zhukov had no intention of expressing his position, Stalin was also a little anxious. Thinking of the previous incident, Stalin had to change his attitude, and the meaning was obvious. He told Zhukov that if he had an idea, he would speak it out, and let’s discuss it together, regardless of the outcome. Whether it succeeds or not, I will not embarrass you.

"Comrade Stalin, I don't have any better ideas in this situation, but I don't think we have the energy to fight on two fronts, so I think the focus of our discussion should be on how to avoid fighting on two fronts."

Zhukov frowned and said worriedly.

Zhukov really didn't have any good solutions, but he still wouldn't say some immature suggestions in his heart.In order not to make Stalin feel uncomfortable, I will fix him for a while.

"But how can we avoid fighting on two fronts?"

Stalin frowned slightly.He continued to ask with a serious face.

"I haven't thought of that yet."

Zhukov shook his head and said helplessly.

"Comrade Zhukov!"

Stalin was a little angry.He called Comrade Zhukov heavily, and stared at him angrily, looking very dissatisfied.

Stalin did not believe that Zhukov would have no choice, but this method may not be mature, so Zhukov did not say it for the time being, or it might make Stalin feel dissatisfied, so he didn't say it, but how could Stalin control so much?I have already said that if there is any suggestion, let's discuss it together, and I will not hold you accountable.

Lao Tzu has said everything to this point.You are still secretive, don't you take me too seriously?Feeling that his authority had been challenged, Stalin wished he could remove Zhukov immediately.

But after thinking about it in a blink of an eye, Zhukov was removed, so who should be in charge of Moscow?What about the next war?So Stalin had to forcibly endure it.

"Comrade Stalin, I won't say it because the idea is absurd and immature. I haven't thought of a complete plan yet. I'm afraid that everyone will feel uncomfortable when I say it, so please forgive me for my difficulties."

Zhukov continued to push back unmoved.

Just kidding, how could this suggestion come out?Not to mention that Stalin was angry, even if he wanted to shoot him immediately.He didn't dare to say it, and besides, he was not ignorant of Stalin's behavior.If you don't do it well, you will be unlucky, and are there still few examples of reckoning after autumn?

"Comrade Zhukov, your idea will save tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions of people in the Soviet Union. Do you want to let so many people suffer because of your reservation? Comrade Zhukov, in the name of the Soviet Union, I salute you Guaranteed, no matter what the suggestion is, no one will make things difficult for you."

Stalin said angrily in his heart, the more Zhukov kept quiet, the more he felt that Zhukov had an idea, but now that Zhukov didn't say anything, he couldn't force it, so he could only compromise with Zhukov for the time being.

According to Stalin's personality, let alone compromise with a certain person, even if Lenin stood here, he would not give him face. Stalin was an extremely individualistic person, so after Zhukov challenged his bottom line one after another, Stalin secretly made a decision, as long as this matter is over, even if Stalin finds an excuse, he will deal with Zhukov severely.

"The method is very simple. Now we can only choose one of the two, or continue to fight against the Soviet Union, and completely abandon the Far East. Su Dao's Northern Army Group is short of troops, and we have deep land protection. Go to garrison, before reaching the central part, the more than 300 million troops will be divided. Then we can fight the Germans with all our strength and defeat the Germans as soon as possible. At the same time, we will work hard to develop our military industry and improve the equipment of the troops as soon as possible. .

After defeating the Germans, we can turn around and clean up Su Dao's Northern Army Group, because they are scattered in various regions, and we can easily destroy them with our superior force. If they gather backward, then we can also Part of the lost ground was recovered without bloodshed.

But this is just a bold gamble. The original intention of this idea comes from the current situation. Once Su Dao increases his troops to the North Army Group, we will become more passive, and we may even be occupied by them in the military industry in the central region. I heard that the Far East There are still at least 100 million reserve forces in the Northeast, and there are at least three army groups in the Chinese Empire, one of which is guarding the mainland, and the two army groups are mobile corps.

Then once Su Dao transfers at least 160 million troops from these two mobile corps to the North Army Group, we will be more passive. Moreover, Su Dao has not stopped recruiting troops recently. The most important thing is that a group army has 83 troops. This is their basic establishment. I can't confirm how many troops each of their armies has.

So Comrade Stalin, I don't talk about this method, because I really haven't figured out a solution yet, and I'm constantly deliberating on some solutions, but the current situation really has no solution. "

Zhukov not only expressed his own thoughts, but also stated his reasons for overthrowing this idea. He wanted to tell Stalin exactly that it was not that he didn't think about the Soviet Union, but that he really couldn't think of a way.

After listening to Zhukov's words, Stalin fell into deep thought again. Perhaps Zhukov's previous approach was correct. This method is indeed very risky for them, and there is no certainty.

So what should they do next?Stalin was always looking for a solution around the idea of ​​avoiding two-front warfare. He was always thinking about which side to give up?Which side to attack? (To be continued..)
