Chapter 1544 Will Not Leave the Capital

Moscow.

During this period of time, Stalin had hardly slept well. He was wearing a military coat and there was a small bed next to him. When he was sleepy, he would close his clothes on the bed and rest for a while.

However, most of the time, Stalin almost stopped in front of the large-scale map, meditating on the map, and silently smoking the cigarette pot, the whole room was covered in smoke.

Only when he smokes can he think well. Now, the German Three-Route Army is marching towards Moscow, and the battle to defend Moscow is about to start.

Now, it is May 31, 1941, the last day of this month. It has only been two months since Germany invaded the Soviet Union on March 28, and the Germans have once again demonstrated the terrible power of their blitzkrieg. , in just two months, they reached Moscow. The nearest front of the Northern Route Army is only more than 100 kilometers away from Moscow.

Perhaps, within a week, the battle for Moscow will begin.

The Soviets have lost all of Europe's land, lost a large number of people, and millions of troops have disappeared. Can they really wait for the cold winter to come before they can counterattack?

This idea suddenly flashed in Stalin's head, and was suppressed by Stalin, even if Moscow fell? No one has ever conquered this great land.

Stalin was determined.

"We can still delay the Germans' attack time by using the outer troops and blocking them layer by layer. In particular, our military factory has already started to produce bazooka." At this moment, Zhukov's voice came from behind him. Voice: "Our military personnel have also increased the caliber of the bazooka. Those German fence armors may not necessarily block our new bazooka."

After the sea transportation was restricted, the Americans were of course anxious when they saw that the Germans would hit Moscow. The technical mystery of the Bazooka weapon was told to the Soviet Union as it was. Anyway, the technical difficulty Not big, the Soviet Union's own military factories can also produce.

However, in the last Kalinin battle, the Germans blocked Bazooka's attack with simple grille armor. How to deal with this situation, the Soviet military workers have always been simple and rude.

Brush the diameter! The Soviet favorite was the brush caliber, which was a simple and effective solution.

The specific effect will be known only on the battlefield. In short, the Soviets will never compromise.

"After that, we have to fight a vigorous street battle, and in the street battle, it will be delayed until the arrival of severe winter." Zhukov said: "We believe that victory still belongs to the Soviets."

Stalin nodded: "The evil Germany will definitely be defeated by us. The Soviets will never be conquered. After this war, we will be stronger."

"Yes, Comrade Stalin, now, I have a request." Zhukov said: "In order to better command the Great Patriotic War, please retreat to the east of the Ural Mountains."

When Zhukov finished saying these words, the whole scene fell silent, and everyone held their breaths, waiting for Stalin's reaction.

Only Zhukov dared to say that, and anyone else would have been shot by a furious Stalin on the spot.

What do you mean by that, do you want Lao Tzu to be a deserter?

Stalin's hand was on the cigarette pot. At this moment, his hand stopped, his head turned around, and he looked at Zhukov with sharp eyes.

If it was someone else, if they were stared at by such eyes, they would probably pee their pants. Those in high positions have a kind of dignity that is not angry and proud.

Zhukov was not afraid, he looked at Stalin and said: "Soon, Moscow will become a war zone, Comrade Stalin, as long as you are here, even if Moscow falls, we will counterattack again, you are ours The backbone is the beacon of our Soviets and the great helmsman, so please follow my advice and leave Moscow, please rest assured that we will use our lives to surround Moscow.”

Stalin shook his head: "Let's stop this topic, don't talk about it again, I will not leave Moscow. As the leader of the Soviets, I will be in Moscow and fight to the last minute. Molotov, broadcast me of this decision, inform the entire Soviet."

If the whole Soviet is told through the radio, then Stalin will never retreat, and if he leaves, he will become a laughing stock.

Stalin was not giving himself a way out.

"Why?" Zhukov asked loudly. "Comrade Stalin, can't you see the problem from a higher level? As long as you are here, the Soviet will not perish."

Zhukov was about to quarrel with Stalin. If it were anyone else, he would definitely be dragged away and shot by the guards who rushed in. However, in the face of his favorite general, Stalin did not get angry.

Stalin of course knew that Zhukov did this for his own safety, and for the entire Soviet, Zhukov never cared about his life, because he had dedicated his life to the Soviet.

In this case, Zhukov's recommendation was to look at the problem from another angle. Unfortunately, Stalin would not agree to this suggestion.

After shooting so many retreating generals and promulgating strict military regulations, even Pavlov was shot by Stalin. At this time, it was his turn to retreat?

Stalin would not agree to retreat. His face was not that thick. Of course, more importantly, he knew the significance of the Moscow defense. As long as he was there, there would be Moscow.

If he retreats, Moscow will never be able to hold it. Once Moscow falls, it will mean the defeat of the Soviets.

Retreat to the east of the Ural Mountains would be the last resort, where the land is sparsely populated, the most densely populated part of the Soviets is in Europe, and they are still waiting for orders from Moscow.

Once Moscow falls, the Germans will quickly push a puppet to power and rule the Soviet Union in a legitimate name, and the Soviet Union will quickly fall.

Just look at Europe now, Paris has fallen, the free France in exile is just a small organization, London has fallen, and Churchill's government is now almost forgotten by the British people.

Stalin's arrogance made him absolutely unable to leave his capital. Even if he died in this building, he would not surrender!

(History is always embarrassing. The top talents in World War II, at the moment of national crisis, chose to stay in the capital and coexist with the country. Stalin did this, Hitler did it.)
