Chapter 1374 Heroes of the Soviet Union

Now, it is too difficult to win this war with the ability of the Soviet Union alone.

Fortunately, there are still people in the United States who have given up their ideological differences and fully support the Soviet Union's battle. After all, if the Soviet Union is defeated by Germany, it is absolutely impossible for the United States to exist alone on this continent.

Because of the common enemy, the United States has supported the Soviet Union. Various weapons, equipment, and logistical supplies are being transported to the Soviet Union through the route within the Arctic Circle in Alaska. The Americans are definitely helping in the snow.

Now, in order to avoid the Baku oilfield being bombed by the Germans, the Soviet Union needs a lot of oil equipment, drilling equipment, and petrochemicals. Of course, these also depend on the support of the United States.

Stalin nodded: "Contact the United States immediately, I hope they will transport it to us as soon as possible!"

"Comrade Stalin, Comrade Lyudmila has already arrived at the Kremlin and will be waiting for you outside." At this moment, Stalin's guard captain came in and said to him.

Lyudmila is here? Stalin immediately showed an excited expression: "Let her come in, let us meet this sniper hero who defends Odessa and smashes the enemy!"

This is the capital of the Red Empire. Lyudmila also came to the Kremlin for the first time. Walking in the wide corridor, she felt the solemnity here, which has witnessed hundreds of years of history.

When led by an official into a conference room, Lyudmila did not expect that she would meet the great leader, Comrade Stalin, all at once!

Comrade Stalin held a cigarette pot with his thick beard thrown to the sides. He was smoking while meditating on the map. After seeing Lyudmila, he immediately smiled.

"Comrade Lyudmila, you are the pride of our Soviets. Your deeds have been widely circulated and encouraged our soldiers to fight bravely." Stalin said: "Now, in view of your performance, the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet has decided to award you to the Soviet Union. Hero title. Now, from Comrade Kalinin."

Mikhail Ivanovich Kalinin, Soviet statesman, revolutionary, and early state leader. Since the October Revolution until his death, he has been the nominal head of state of the Soviet Union and the Soviet Union.

Now that Kalinin was old and had a gray beard, but he was still in good spirits, he held up the gold star and hung it solemnly on Lyudmila's chest, an almost pure gold medal on which There is a small number, and the outer frame is made of silver.

Lyudmila raised her chest and asked Kalinin to hang it on her chest. At this time, she was extremely proud, she knew what it meant to be a Soviet hero.

The title "Hero of the Soviet Union" was established in 1934. At that time, seven Soviet pilots, headed by Vodopyanov, risked their lives and flew again and again to successfully rescue the Arctic expedition team and the "Cheriusky" icebreaker.

Later, the Central Executive Committee of the Soviet Union passed a decision to award relevant personnel the title of "Hero of the Soviet Union" in recognition of individuals and collectives who have made heroic feats against the country.

Those who can receive this honor are those who have made great contributions to the motherland and risked their lives.

At that time, there were only certificates. Later, I found that in order to prove that I was a hero of the Soviet Union, I had to carry certificates. It was too troublesome and not conspicuous. Therefore, on August 1, 1939, the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the Soviet Union decided to establish the "Golden Star Medal" to be awarded to "Soviet Heroes" who have made heroic feats against the country.

This gold star medal is hung on the top of all medals, so that as long as you wear the gold star medal, you can see at a glance that it is the hero of the Soviet Union.

"Now, Germany is invading our country, and we need thousands of heroes like Comrade Lyudmila." Stalin took the certificate and solemnly placed it in Lyudmila's hand: "We are here for you. pride."

"Comrade Stalin, I request to return to the troops and continue to fight on the front line. I want to kill more enemies." Lyudmila said.

Her fighting spirit is high and she wants to keep fighting!

Stalin looked at her with satisfaction: "Comrade Lyudmila, some things are more important than fighting on the front lines. Now, the party and the country will give you more difficult tasks."

"Guaranteed to complete the mission," Lyudmila said.

"Your task is to heal your wounds, and when you heal your wounds, you will go to the United States."

To the United States? Lyudmila was taken aback, what kind of arduous task is this?

"You go to various places in the United States to report, and let the whole United States and the world know about our anti-Japanese war." Stalin said.

Stalin was just a whim. Just now, the question of asking the United States for equipment was still being discussed, and now, Stalin just had an idea.

The United States must be confident, knowing that the Soviets can win this war, the United States will support more powerfully, how can we convince the Americans? Of course, I have seen a specific case. Lyudmila in front of me is a living example.

She wants to tell about the brutality of the enemy and about her heroic battles. An ordinary soldier can have such a high fighting spirit. How can such a country be destroyed?

I sent her to the United States to give a speech. After returning, I worked as an instructor in the sniper school established in Moscow, and continued to let her play her residual heat. In short, she could not be allowed to go on the battlefield.

The Soviets have no capital to withstand the blow, and heroes like Lyudmila should not wither on the battlefield.

"Yes." Lyudmila agreed, but the expression on her face betrayed her. She wanted to go to the battlefield and didn't want to report to the rear.

Lyudmila went out, and Stalin's face continued to put on a serious expression. In front of Lyudmila, he appeared confident, but now, he knew how dangerous the situation he was facing.

Following the topic just now, he continued to arrange: "We still need to carry out the exploration of new oil fields, preferably in our central or eastern part, and our industry should also be transferred to the central part."

The situation in Smolensk is still very critical, and the main industries of the Soviet Union are distributed in the west. Now, the industry must be transferred out. If the industry is gone, the Soviet Union will not have to fight.

"Comrade Stalin, the latest battle report, Smolensk is about to be surrounded by the Germans." At this moment, an adjutant hurried in with the report he just got.

As before, the Germans stretched out two arms, started from both sides of Smolensk, and then closed, the encirclement was formed!
