Chapter 1563 Khrushchev's Arrangement
When Lyudmila opened the order, she was stunned.
To the United States?
At the very beginning, Lyudmila left Odessa with the intention of visiting the United States, to introduce the story of the vigorous battle that took place on the Soviet battlefield, to tell the story of the Soviet Union's epic battles, and to publicize the Soviet Union's determination to win. , that's how to get sponsorship.
If the Soviet Union lost its confidence, how could the Americans support it?
But the plan could not keep up with the changes, and in the end, Lyudmila did not make the trip. After the injury, Lyudmila entered the female sniper school to fight for the training of Soviet female snipers.
Until now, in fact, the Soviet Union has begun to show the embarrassment of insufficient troops. The Soviet Union not only has female snipers, but also female pilots and female tankers. !
Especially now, seeing that the Germans are about to come to Moscow, and they are preparing to defend Moscow and fight in the streets, at this time, Lyudmila would have received such an order?
The invitation of the Americans is extensive. If only people from the scientific community are invited, it means that the weasels are greeting the chicken for the New Year. Therefore, they have invited them in all aspects.
Whether to go or not is a matter of the Soviets, and whether to invite or not is a matter of the Americans. Now, the Americans have also invited the famous fighting heroine, Lyudmila, who is not allowed to be a man.
"I'm not going." Lyudmila just glanced at it and threw the order to the messenger: "Go back and tell Zhukov that if he wants to go to the United States, he can go by himself. At this time, don't try to transfer me away. ."
Zhukov was in charge of the defense of Moscow, and all the troops were under his command. This order was issued by Zhukov.
Only Lyudmila dared to say so directly. Comrade Stalin met Lyudmila in person, and Lyudmila was not afraid of Zhukov.
Don't look at when, this life of my own is dedicated to the Soviets. If Moscow falls, I will keep my life here, and go to the United States!
Similar situations are being staged everywhere. Soldiers take it as their duty to obey orders. Now they have to fight even if they resist orders! No one wants to leave Moscow, which is their capital, and they have nowhere to go.
After receiving news one by one, Stalin also sighed: "This is our capital, and we will coexist with Moscow. Don't persuade me. I will never leave Moscow."
Stalin once again reiterated his point of view, not even Zhukov, no one can let Stalin leave Moscow!
"Yes." Molotov said, "However, for this large number of people to go to the United States, they still need a leader to go there."
It is best to have a leader. Hearing this, Stalin looked at Molotov: "Would you like to go?"
Stalin was talking casually, but Molotov heard the murderous aura in it. Stalin didn't leave, who could be a deserter?
"No, I won't go, but we have a report here that Comrade Khrushchev wants to lead the team," Molotov said.
Khrushchev, at the top of the Soviets, was a person who had a few ups and downs. Even if he lost temporarily, he would rely on his shameless spirit to return to the center of power.
In Kyiv, after the defeat, he retreated eastward with Timoshenko and continued to organize the war of resistance.
At the beginning, Pavlov lost the battle and ate a gun, but the defeat of Kyiv could not be counted on Timoshenko and Khrushchev. When the German Central Army went south, no matter who commanded it, they would fight. defeat.
To be responsible, Stalin should be responsible. If he had followed Zhukov's suggestion and retreated the troops from Kyiv to Moscow, the millions of troops would have guarded Moscow as an impregnable wall, and it would be no problem to persist until the winter. Like now, racking my brains for the movement of a local guard
Khrushchev can be considered to have worked hard enough to persevere for a long time. Judging from his performance, he can indeed arrange an easy errand for him.
Let him lead the team and go to the United States. This can also give full play to Khrushchev's strengths. After all, he is also a political veteran and has rich experience in overseas visits. Let him sign a military order, and bring as many people out and bring back as many people. None will do.
Thinking of this, Stalin almost nodded, and at this moment, the arrival of a telegram was like a bolt from the blue, shocking everyone present.
"Stalingrad is about to be in danger. This morning, the Turkish army has appeared near the Don River."
Turkey's army, damn Turkey!
Stalin is quite angry, his fists are clenched, this scumbag, now dare to come to trouble himself!
At first, the Germans relied on the Baku oil field as bait to induce Turkey to join the war against the Soviet Union. However, the Turks fought for a long time without getting any benefit. They were taken advantage of by Persia and occupied Baku.
The Turks didn't get anything, and of course they didn't want to. At this time, the Germans spoke again, and they could continue to fight northward. The land that was captured was all Turkish!
As a result, Turkey continued to push hard and marched towards the Soviet territory in the north. It actually climbed over the Caucasus Mountains and advanced to the Don River. It was less than 100 kilometers away from Stalingrad.
This is of course also because the Soviet forces are really tense. When the Baku oil field was occupied, the main force here was wiped out in Armenia, which was actually quite empty.
The Turks went all the way over the mountains and came to Stalingrad.
Stalingrad, located in the Volga Valley, is also an important industrial city in the Soviet Union. For example, the Stalingrad tractor factory is continuously producing main battle tanks. Now, Stalingrad is actually facing the threat of the Turks.
Originally thought that the Germans were the main force to deal with Moscow, and the rest of the Soviet territory was temporarily safe. Who would have thought that there would be a damn Turk!
"We must not let the Turks defile our city!" Zhukov immediately expressed his opinion.
What about other cities, Stalingrad, the city named after the great leader! How can it be defiled by a group of Turks?
"Yes, order the garrison of Stalingrad to defend the city." Stalin said: "The Turks must not be occupied."
There are no more troops, and Moscow is still nervous. After Stalin said this, he suddenly thought of a person again: "Order Khrushchev to go to Stalingrad, as a political commissar, to supervise the battle, whoever is disadvantaged in the battle, Can be killed on the spot!"
