Chapter 1658 Troika
Stalin's men, the troika.
The first general was Zhukov. In Moscow, Zhukov fell and died under the guns of the Germans. Before he died, his feat of pulling a grenade infected everyone.
The second member, Konev, was missing during the Battle of Moscow. No one knew where he went, whether he surrendered or died in battle.
The third is Rokossovsky. Compared with the previous two, Rokossovsky's resume is not much. He only started to shine during the Great Patriotic War. In Kyiv, because of Rokosov Vsky conjured up a powerful Rokossovsky group out of thin air, much to Stalin's delight and admiration for his feat.
Then, Rokossovsky was transferred to Smolensk to participate in combat operations there. At the last moment, Rokossovsky was transferred away, and his men were all killed.
In the Moscow Military District, Rokossovsky continued to play his role, as a dazzling new star, no matter where he went, he would shine.
Moscow was occupied by the Germans, and Rokossovsky actually successfully retreated from the Moscow battlefield!
This ability is absolutely unprecedented, and no one has come since.
Stalin immediately stood up excitedly: "I knew that our Soviets would not sink like this. With Rokossovsky, we still have hope. We can hold the line of the Ural Mountains, take advantage of the geographical advantages here, and insist on War of resistance, waiting for the opportunity to counterattack!"
Stalin would never give in. Now that he has a tiger general, he is very happy and seems to see hope again.
"Comrade Stalin, what about the demands of the United States?" Molotov asked.
"Promise them." Stalin said: "Although the cost is very high, we have no choice. We need troops, weapons, and food now. If we lose the support of the United States, we can't do anything."
Even if the Soviet men from sixteen to sixty years old are fully armed, they will continue to fight the Germans! Without industry, without agriculture, and with the support of the Americans, the Soviets could finally make the whole nation a soldier.
Stalin's eyes were full of enthusiasm.
Beria, who was on the side, sighed deeply in his heart. If this goes on, even if the war is won, what's the use? When the last Soviet soldier stood on the ruins of Berlin, waving a flag with a sickle and a hammer, the scene was probably more sad, right?
This is the tragedy of all mankind.
But what choice do you have?
Beria knew that this question was simply unsolvable.
With the end of the Moscow Battle, the entire European continent is full of optimism. The Russians have never been defeated before, even Napoleon, didn't he come back in despair?
Now, Germany has created a miracle!
Originally, Cyric was fully prepared to take Moscow even if it was winter. Now, it was summer, and Moscow was in the hands of the Empire.
"Führer Cyric, our twelfth ship of the Count Zeppelin class, is undergoing sea trials and is preparing for the take-off and landing of carrier-based aircraft."
In a building in the Kremlin, Cyric planned to stay here for a few days, taking his wife to enjoy the sight of Moscow, and at the same time, he could also work here.
With the continuous violence of the navy, various warships are one after another, and the current Earl Zeppelin class has reached the twelfth ship. At the same time, there are four other ships on the slipway that are outfitting and will also be Launching in the near future.
Although the battleship looks taller and more powerful, after years of practice, the understanding in the navy has been completely unified. It is true that only aircraft carriers can support the future maritime hegemony. Without air dominance, there is no sea domination. After entering the era of precision guidance, this phenomenon is even more obvious.
Germany has integrated the resources of the whole of Europe, and the navy is in a state of rapid development. So far, it has completed the huge shipbuilding task of the Z plan, but in order to deal with the United States, the plan has been expanding.
Originally, the Earl Zeppelin-class aircraft carrier was planned to be built around ten, but it has now been expanded to thirty.
Even the United States in history only built twenty-six attack-type aircraft carriers during World War II. Germany now aims for thirty, which is enough to maintain maritime hegemony, not to mention that Germany still has a technological advantage.
In addition to this type of attack-type aircraft carrier, there are already about fifty escort aircraft carriers, and will eventually expand to one hundred. This is the role of a generalist on the battlefield, and it will be more useful in future escort battles. Come.
The rest, in addition to various escort ships, are a large number of landing ships and various merchant ships.
"This aircraft carrier has not yet been named."
According to German practice, in the shipyard, only the serial number will be given, and the official serial number will not be issued until after it is commissioned. Except that the initial aircraft carrier is named according to the name of the person, the following are all named according to the place name, such as No. 3. The ship was named Munich.
What is the name of the twelfth ship now? Cyric rolled his eyes and said, "Let's call it Moscow!"
Moscow, the former capital of the Soviet Union, has now become the name of an aircraft carrier of the Empire. Of course, the significance is far-reaching. Since then, Moscow has been in the pocket of Germany. The name of the aircraft carrier instills this idea into the world. Moscow is imperial!
When they heard Cyric's name, everyone nodded, this name is not bad!
"What project is the aircraft carrier testing at sea?" Cyric asked.
"The takeoff and landing of the Sea Storm Bird on the aircraft carrier, if all goes well, starting from the twelfth ship, our navy will use the Sea Storm Bird as our carrier-based aircraft."
Hearing this, Cyric stood up immediately: "The project is going very fast, and the carrier-based aircraft is going to take off and land? Well, I really want to see it!"
This is completely trans-generational. When fighter planes enter the jet era, it is a lore for propeller aircraft, and if an aircraft carrier carries jets, it is an invincible existence on the ocean.
In the past few months, Cyric has been focusing on the war on land. He did not expect the progress of the navy to be so fast!
It seems that Dr. Messerschmitt can finally breathe a sigh of relief. In this battle of fighters, FW190 has been pressing his BF109 for breath, and the Navy is showing off its strength. Now, he can finally gain the favor of the Navy. .
Yes, go check it out!
