Chapter 1214: Turning point in winter

"Our troops are seriously insufficient." After seeing Stalin, Zhukov immediately launched an in-depth discussion on the issue of the north.

Petersburg was blown up and turned into flat ground. In addition to severely hitting the beliefs of the Soviet people, there were more direct consequences.

Petersburg was the northern gate of the Soviet Union. After Petersburg was in ruins, it was impossible to stop the northern army of the Germans. Now, the northern army of the Northwest Front Army is controlled by the Finnish army and cannot escape, and the German army will easily get out of it. Petersburg surging past.

So, where is the German offensive direction?

The cold north is not attractive to the Germans. Petersburg is the entrance to the Baltic Sea, the industrial base of the Soviets, and the cradle of the October Revolution. German talents will launch such a terrible attack on Petersburg.

what's next? The German army in the north will definitely follow the railway line, go to Novgorod, Tver, and head towards Moscow from the back!

In the west, the Germans had occupied the entire Belarus, and there was already a sharp sign of an attack on Moscow, while in the north, the huge German army pushed forward, and Moscow could not resist it.

Therefore, it is necessary to establish a new line of defense in the area of ​​Novgorod to resist the German attack, and this requires more troops.

The Soviet Union has now mobilized for war, but the troops that have just been reorganized are not capable of combat. At this time, it is necessary to mobilize troops from the Far East.

"But, if the islanders attack us from the Far East at this time, what should we do?"

The Soviets have millions of troops in the Far East. The main task of these troops is to prevent the invasion of island countries. After all, in history, the Soviet Union and the island countries have had a lot of grievances and have fought many wars.

"We taught the people of the island nation a lot in Nomonkan. In a short time, people of the island nation will not go north again. For a country like an island nation, you only need to beat him severely once. If you are afraid, you can make him more honest. Years, and now, when the islanders are in Southeast Asia, they are no longer interested in our Far East."

The island nation launched the Pacific War and destroyed the US Pacific Fleet in one fell swoop. Now the island nation is developing towards Southeast Asia. The people of the island nation are busy occupying those resources. Why would they come to the North again to chew their bones.

"The most important thing is to mobilize the Far Eastern army and organize a defense line in our north to prevent German counterattacks." Zhukov continued: "At the same time, we must have a longer-term mental preparation."

Zhukov's words made the faces of those present become solemn. They actually had a premonition in their hearts, but they never dared to raise them in front of Stalin.

Originally, they thought that the Germans were easy to deal with, and most of the Soviet army was deployed on the Western Front. As a result, when the war started, these so-called elite troops suffered great losses.

It can be said that the Soviet Union has been greatly injured, and at the same time, there is a more terrible crisis, that is, the Soviet army is not fighting.

Could the Soviet Union be the next France or Britain?

Who dares to mention this before Stalin? Whoever mentions who will die, only Zhukov dares.

"We are different from Britain and France, because we have a vast country and depth." Zhukov dispelled everyone's doubts: "Persist in the end, victory must belong to us, we have never been conquered by any country, and Napoleon did not conquer Russia. , What is Germany now!"

When Zhukov said that, everyone’s faces lightened up. It is true that the Soviets will not be conquered because the Soviets have a vast depth. Where can the Germans advance? Their blitzkrieg also has limits.

"I think the turning point is in winter. When our Soviet winter arrives, those soldiers who come from warm Europe will definitely not be able to stand the severe cold here. Nature will help us eliminate the Germans." Zhukov said: "In Before that, what we need most is persistence, persistence, persistence!"

Persist in the cold winter, the turning point of this war will come, this is Zhukov's judgment, and his judgment made Stalin nod.

Although the latitudes are similar, winters in Europe are not cold because of the warm Mediterranean currents, and the cold currents from Siberia make the entire Russian land extremely cold.

At that time, severe cold will be the worst enemy of the Germans, and we need to persist until that time.

"It seems that we should transfer troops from the Far East and let us hold on to the cold winter to launch a counterattack." Stalin finally made the decision.

Zhukov breathed a sigh of relief. Stalin was told to move. If there were no troops from the Far East, he really didn't know how to continue fighting. The elite had been lost.

Especially now, the situation in Ukraine is not optimistic, and Zhukov is getting less and less clear about the Germans. Where is their main attack direction?

"Zhukov, right now, our Northwest Defense Zone is quite dangerous. I decided to mobilize you to the Northwest Front. Your task is very difficult," Stalin said.

Mobilizing Zhukov back ~www.novelhall.com~ Stalin had very important considerations. Zhukov, the fire-fighting captain, should appear at the most dangerous time to block the German army in the north.

"Yes." Zhukov had no opinion on this, only a trace of sadness appeared between his eyebrows.

Obviously, Zhukov looked farther.

Up to now, the Soviets have shown signs of decline. They can only hold on until winter and let the severe cold deal with the Germans. What if the severe cold does not stop the Germans?

What he just said depends on depth and has a farther meaning. If even Moscow can't hold it, the Soviets have to move to the eastern Urals. This depth is even greater, and when the time comes, the Soviets lack an industrial base, and in the end they can only start from the Far East, take Manchuria, and seize the industrial base there.

The prospects of the Soviets are not optimistic, and they must turn the tide and do their best for the ultimate victory.

Now, don't think about that much.

"Comrade Stalin, the trial of Pavlov and others has ended. This is the result of the trial." At this moment, Molotov came in and said to Stalin.

Thinking of Pavlov, Stalin's anger stopped. They all lost their positions, and Voroshinov was killed. You Pavlov would do well. You ran to the back to hide from the beginning!

Looking at the results of the trials, Stalin said: "The charges of treason should be removed, and the rest will be executed immediately."

"Pavlov said he hopes to go to the battlefield to atone for his sins." Molotov said.

Stalin didn't even think about it, and immediately shook his head: "The opportunity has been given to him a long time ago. Now I want to go to the battlefield. How about before? Minsk is lost, Belarus is lost, where is he going to the battlefield? The death penalty, immediately carried out!)
