Chapter 1625 Stalingrad Tractor Factory
Khrushchev controls the top level of the army, and he can control the entire army. Under the current circumstances, if the threat of Stalingrad is made clear, if not surrender, everyone will become a barbecue together, then surrender will be very easy.
In the army, as long as no one takes the lead in making trouble, the soldiers below all obey the orders of their superiors.
This is also an important way for the army to rebel, with the army chief taking the lead.
Soldiers take it as their duty to obey orders. Therefore, when the army rebels, it is mainly the superior who takes the lead. When the superior's order is issued, the lower-level soldiers must obey.
They didn't even know that they were rebelling at all, and they went with a great sense of mission and honor, but when their hands were stained with the blood of their own people, they could never turn back, only one The road goes dark.
Now, Khrushchev wants to lead the army to surrender. As long as the senior army commander does not come out to oppose it, the resistance below will be much smaller.
Unfortunately, Khrushchev did not know that he still made a serious mistake.
He forgot that in Stalingrad, there was another important place, the Stalingrad Tractor Factory.
Stalingrad Tractor Plant, also known as Dzerzhinsky Tractor Plant, commemorates the predecessor of the former Soviet "KGB": the heir of the All-Russian Anti-Revolutionary Committee - Felix Edmundovich Dzerzhinsky .
This is a tractor factory built in the 1930s. All production equipment is manufactured in the United States, and about 80 American companies are involved in the manufacturing. The finished equipment was dismantled and shipped back home, where it was assembled by Americans and Germans.
Therefore, the technology here is also very advanced, and the timing was just right. In the 1930s, it was the time of the Western economic crisis. As long as there were orders, even those from the Soviet Union, American businessmen would not tire of it.
After the Stalingrad Tractor Factory was put into operation, it immediately became the largest tractor factory in the Soviet Union at that time, and the annual production of tractors accounted for more than half of the country's output.
Tractors in this era are all tracked, and the manufacturing technologies of tractors and tanks are almost interoperable.
Therefore, it is logical to use tractor factories to manufacture tanks, which is the same as the use of pesticide factories and chemical factories to produce chemical weapons.
When the war began, the Stalingrad Tractor Factory quickly transformed and began to produce tanks. At the same time, the main force they produced was the T-34 tank. This simple tank was once designed as the main equipment of the Red Army. , the required output is large.
In the historical battle of Stalingrad, the tractor factory was also famous. The workers continued to maintain production in the factory under the condition of being bombarded by German air and artillery at any time. Even after the Germans approached, the workers went directly from the production line. Get on and off the tanks, go to the battlefield, and bombard the German troops with your own artillery.
It can be said that the workers of the Stalingrad Tractor Factory can not only carry out production, but also fight. When almost all the factories were bombed, they also insisted on production and fighting, and composed a movement of fighting.
The current Stalingrad tractor plant also has the same fighting enthusiasm.
In the factory, they sweated like rain and continued to produce tanks for the army. Although some of the tanks came off the production line due to lack of fuel, they stayed in the parking lot of the factory and could not start. They were still working overtime.
The problem of fuel will be solved, but it really won't work, just push the tank to the street and use it as a fixed turret.
All of this is inseparable from the efforts of the tractor director, Mikhailov Ivanov.
When the Stalingrad Tractor Factory was established, Mikhailov came here and became the director of the factory. He has been in charge of production here and contributed to the Soviets. However, when that terrible storm came, Mikhailov The husband was also implicated and was arrested.
Until the beginning of the war, Mikhailov finally returned to the tractor factory, again in charge of production here.
Although he was implicated in the Great Purge, in Mikhailov's heart, he still loves his motherland, and he is full of anger at the German invasion. The great Soviet will not be defeated by the Germans!
He only slept a few hours a day, constantly organized production in the factory, and when the workers were idle, he also organized the workers to conduct shooting training, always ready to contribute his life to the Soviets.
The Great Purge was wrong, it was the internal affairs of the Soviets, but the invasion of the Germans was the enemy of the entire Soviet. This is Mikhailov's point of view.
Although he was unable to take to the battlefield with a gun, the weapons produced by his factory were constantly supplying the front lines, and now, when the Turks came, he was even more motivated.
But today, he suddenly lost his vitality.
It can even be said that the whole of Stalingrad has lost its vitality.
"Today, with a heavy heart, I would like to introduce you to the battle situation." A dull voice came from the loudspeaker of the street radio: "I am Khrushchev, the political commissar, and I was ordered by Comrade Stalin to be in charge. Stalingrad's defense."
"The Germans have broken the bottom line of the war, they have started to use inhuman weapons on a large scale, and wherever there is resistance, they will be blown to the ground, just like Petersburg, the Germans are trying to destroy all the cities of our Soviet , wiped off the face of the earth."
"It's pointless to keep fighting, we don't have planes, we don't have enough anti-aircraft guns, and when the German bombers arrive, that's when all of Stalingrad disappears."
"So, we have no hope of continuing to fight, our Ural industrial zone has disappeared, our Moscow has disappeared, and the next target of the Germans is us, in order to allow hundreds of thousands of innocent people in the city to survive. , in order to allow the Russian nation to survive together with other nations, I and the military commanders of the entire Stalingrad zone decided that we will save hundreds of thousands of lives by laying down our weapons. This is a bitter fruit, but we have no choice. ."
"If you are an ordinary soldier, you can say that you donate your life without any complaints. However, so many civilians, including the elderly, women, and children, let them disappear together. This is not brave, this is Recklessness is a crime. Even if I stand on the pillar of shame in history, I have to make such a choice."
"Crack!" Mikhailov's hand slapped heavily on the table: "Traitor, traitor, how did the Soviets produce such a traitor! Bondarenko, immediately assemble the Workers' Self-Defense Force for me!"
