Chapter 1656: 3 carriage (1/2)
Under Stalin, 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 firing a grenade infected everyone.
The second member, Konev, was missing during the Battle of Moscow, and no one knew where he went, whether he had surrendered to the enemy or died in battle.
The third is Rokosovsky. Compared to the first two, Rokosovsky’s resume is not much. He only started to shine in the Great Patriotic War. In Kiev, because of Rokosov’s Vsky conjured a powerful Rokosovsky cluster out of thin air, and Stalin was delighted and praised his feat.
Then, Rokosovsky was transferred to Smolensk to participate in combat operations there. At the last minute, Rokosovsky was transferred away, and his men were killed in battle.
When he arrived in the Moscow Military District, Rokosovsky continued to play his role. As a dazzling new star, he would shine no matter where he went.
Moscow was occupied by the Germans, and Rokosovsky successfully retreated from the Moscow battlefield!
This skill is absolutely unprecedented, and there is no one to come after.
Stalin immediately stood up excitedly: ”I knew that our Soviets would not sink like this. With Rokosovsky, we still have hope. We will defend the Ural Mountains and take advantage of the geographical advantages here. Anti-Japanese war, waiting for the time to counterattack!”
Stalin will never give in. Now, there is a member of the generals. He is very happy and seems to see hope again.
”Comrade Stalin, what about the American requirements?” Molotov asked.
”Promise them.” Stalin said: ”Although this is a high price, we have no choice. We now need the army, we need weapons, and we need food. If we lose the support of the United States, we can't do anything.”
Even if the Soviets are all armed from sixteen to sixty, they must fight the Germans! Without industry, without agriculture, and relying solely on the support of the Americans, the Soviets can finally become a soldier.
There was enthusiasm in Stalin's eyes.
Beria on the side sighed deeply in her heart. If this goes on, what's the point of winning the war? When the last Soviet soldier stood on the ruins of Berlin, waving the flag of the sickle and the hammer, maybe the scene was more sad, right?
This is the sadness of all mankind.
But what choice does one have?
Beria knew that this problem was simply unsolvable.
With the end of the Battle of Moscow, the whole European continent was filled with optimism. The Russians had never been defeated before, even Napoleon, didn't he come back dingy?
Now Germany has created a miracle!
Originally, Cyric had made sufficient preparations, even if it was winter, he would take Moscow down. Now, it is summer, and Moscow has been in the hands of the Empire.
