Chapter 1542： Wont leave the capital (2/2)

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

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

If someone else is stared at by such gazes, they will probably pee their pants. People in high positions have a kind of dignity that is not angered or prestigious.

Zhukov was not afraid. He faced Stalin’s gaze and said: “Soon, Moscow will become a war zone. Comrade Stalin, as long as you are there, even if Moscow falls, we will re-attack. 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: ”This topic will stop here. Don't talk about it anymore. I will not leave Moscow. As the leader of the Soviets, I will fight in Moscow until the last minute. Molotov, through radio Of this decision to inform the entire Soviet.”

If we tell the whole Soviet through the radio, then Stalin will never retreat. If he leaves, he will become a laughing stock.

Stalin didn't leave himself behind.

”Why?” Zhukov asked loudly, ”Comrade Stalin, don't you think from a higher level? As long as you are there, the Soviets will not perish.”

Zhukov was almost about to quarrel with Stalin. If someone else, they would be dragged away and shot by the guards who rushed in. However, in the face of his beloved general, Stalin was not angry~~ Of course Stalin knew that Zhukov This was done for his own safety, for the entire Soviet Union, Zhukov never cared about his life, because he had dedicated his life to the Soviets.

In this case, Zhukov strongly recommended that he look at the problem from another angle, but it is a pity that Stalin would not agree to this suggestion.

So many retreating generals were shot and strict military regulations were issued. Even Pavlov was shot by Stalin. At this time, it's his turn to retreat?

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

If he retreats, then Moscow will absolutely not be able to defend it, and once Moscow falls, it means the Soviet’s defeat.

Retreating to the east of the Ural Mountains is the last step. There is a large area and sparsely populated area. The most densely populated part of the Soviets is Europe. They are still waiting for Moscow's orders.

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

Just look at Europe now. Paris has fallen. Free France in exile is just a small organization. London has fallen. 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 upright, he would not surrender!

(History is always embarrassing. At the moment of national crisis, the top talents in World War II chose to stay in the capital and coexist and die with the country. This is what Stalin did, Hitler did, but the old Jiang did not do it. So, Lao Jiang will not be able to keep his name in the history of World War II.)
