#1613 Escape Submarine

"Boom, boom." The unique sound of the diesel engine made the surroundings seem very noisy.

Stalin, who was in a coma, slowly woke up, and when his consciousness gradually recovered, he heard voices around him.

"Comrade Beria, I didn't expect you to keep this hand. This time you can successfully withdraw from Moscow. You have made a great contribution."

"Yeah, if you follow the military and civilians to break out of the siege, you will definitely be caught up by the Germans outside, take a submarine, and go all the way down the Moscow River. What a genius idea."

Withdraw from Moscow? On a submarine?

Stalin opened his eyes and saw that the ceiling was very close to him. Suddenly, his dull brain reacted, what? Has Moscow fallen?

So, in an instant, he was about to sit up, but his body was limp and he had no strength.

"Comrade Stalin is awake, Comrade Stalin is awake!" At this moment, finally, a person sitting beside the bed noticed that Stalin had opened his eyes, and immediately shouted happily.

Stalin turned his head and saw several familiar faces. Beria had walked to his side, helped him up, and leaned against the side wall.

"What's the matter?" Stalin's voice was hoarse, but it was as majestic as ever.

As a result, the other people stopped talking and were still slowly stepping back. They looked at Beria with anticipation, hoping that Beria would say everything.

Beria lived up to expectations.

"Comrade Stalin, we are now in a baby-class submarine, and now we are about to leave the Moscow River and enter the Oka River." Beria said: "You just woke up and you are still very weak, rest first, wait until the ancient times. Byshev, I will make a formal report to you."

on a submarine? Looking at everything around him, the dim light bulbs, the steel walls, the rumbling of the engines behind, Stalin knew that this was indeed a submarine.

A small Soviet submarine.

Throughout World War II, the Soviet navy did not have much to offer. After all, the Soviet Union was a traditional land power. Given its limited capabilities, it would not put all its precious power into the navy.

The same is true of the submarine force. Due to resource constraints, the Soviet Navy can only develop a few small submarines, the main one being the baby class.

Compared with the submarines of several thousand tons in Germany, the displacement of the baby is only 353 tons, the maximum speed is 15 knots, and it is absolutely small and medium-sized.

At the same time, due to its small size, this submarine with a total length of only 50 meters can be transported by rail, which is also an advantage.

Beria was responsible for almost all the military production of the entire Soviet Union, so Beria also used his power to specially refit this baby-class submarine.

Although an ordinary baby-class submarine already has a staff of 28 people, the internal space of such a small submarine is too limited, and it cannot be used for transportation at all.

The current submarine has all the front torpedo compartments removed, the 45mm deck guns have also been removed, and there are hardly any self-defense weapons.

At the same time, the torpedo cabin has been transformed into a simple cabin for five or six people. Now Stalin and others are in this cabin, away from the engine at the rear, which is the quietest place.

Due to its small size, it can easily navigate in the inland river. At night, it can float on the river surface at high speed. During the day, if you want to avoid being discovered, you can raise the periscope and put it at the bottom of the snorkel. In the state, proceed along the river.

This is the escape equipment that Beria had built a long time ago. Even if Stalin decided to continue guarding Moscow, Beria was not too afraid and followed Stalin to stay in Moscow, because Beria was ready.

Even if they wait until the German bombers fly to Moscow, as long as they get on this submarine and drill under the Moscow River, they don't have to worry. No matter how violent the fire is, it is impossible to evaporate the Moscow River. The oxygen will be consumed cleanly, but the submarine can already rely on the internal equipment to provide oxygen.

The three caves of the cunning rabbit, this is what Beria intends to take out at the last moment, and now, it is that last moment.

Although it is in the state of the snorkel, the interior of the submarine is still damp, mixed with the smell of diesel, which makes people feel sick.

However, no one dared to say anything. They all admired Beria's ability to survive. Now, whether it is on land or in the sky, it is not safe. The only way is to slip along the Moscow River. OK

Bella is the smartest.

Now, there is no need for Quaberia, Stalin has woken up, and the first difficulty everyone needs to overcome is Comrade Stalin's questioning.

Everyone was trembling.

In fact, up to now, the Soviets have lost half of their country, industry, and capital. It can be said that the Soviets have even failed.

However, everyone present knew that as long as Stalin was there, they would be able to persevere.

Stalin didn't speak, he looked at a man's face, and then a flash of disappointment flashed in his eyes.

"Where's Zhukov?" Stalin asked.

For Stalin, he had a well-known troika, but if Stalin used it most easily, he trusted Zhukov the most.

Now, Stalin did not see Zhukov.

The submarine is too small to hold too many people. Maybe Zhukov was on another submarine, or went a different way?

"Zhukov stayed in Moscow." Beria said: "As the supreme commander of Moscow, he ordered the defenders and citizens in the city to retreat and gave up guarding Moscow. Now, we can't contact him."

Beria did not hide, what to say and what to say, Stalin was furious, and even wanted to kill him, or accept it calmly, then let it be fate.

Everyone knows what it means to stay in Moscow.

Sure enough, upon hearing this, Stalin's body trembled, and Beria, who was holding Stalin, clearly felt Stalin's body soften, and he suddenly lost his energy.

So Beria put Stalin down, put him on the bed, and lay down again.

Stalin didn't close his eyes, he just kept his eyes open, staring at the ceiling, silent.

Zhukov stayed in Moscow, and the odds were bad. Will the troops withdrawn from Moscow be able to come out? In Kuibyshev, what's the use? At this moment, Stalin was already disheartened.
