"Incompetent...... Impotent! ”

A loud roar rang out in one of the Kremlin's bedrooms. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Stalin, dressed in a pajamas, looked angrily at the captain of the guard, Colonel Leonid, who was standing in front of him, and his saliva was almost sprayed in his face, almost shouting in a roaring voice.

"Immediately call Comrades Timoshenko, Zhukov, and Motolov to the conference room...... Right away! ”

"Yes, Comrade Stalin." Leonid ran out of Stalin's room almost in a hurry.

Half an hour later, in a small conference room covered with curtains on all sides, generals and officials such as Timoshenko, Zhukov, Motolov, and Beria were sitting in chairs waiting for Stalin's arrival.

The door opened, and Stalin, dressed in a leather jacket that was clearly worn, walked into the conference room.

"Whoa."

Everyone stood up in unison to salute Stalin, who waved his hand and motioned for everyone to sit down, and he himself sat down with him.

As soon as he sat down, Stalin said with a calm face: "Comrades, half an hour ago I just received a telegram from Comrade Apanashchenko, commander of the Far Eastern Front, that the Chinese have invaded the territory of our great Soviet Union from Outer Mongolia and are coming towards Ulan-Ude, and now Apanashchenko is leading the Far Eastern Front in a fierce exchange of fire with the enemy, and so far we have lost four divisions of troops!" ”

"Whoa......

Stalin's words were like a handful of salt spilled into a boiling oil pot, and the whole conference room began to clamor.

Motorov lost his voice almost in disbelief: "How is this possible, you're not joking, are you?" ”

Stalin turned his head and stared at him with gloomy eyes: "Comrade Motorov, do you think I called you here early in the morning just to joke with you?" ”

Looking at Stalin's almost murderous gaze, Motorov quickly shut up, but the shock in his eyes still did not dissipate, in fact, not only him, but even everyone else in the conference room had the same expression as him.

Huaxia's attack on the Soviet Union is probably the biggest joke they have heard, and its absurdity is the same as the later generation of Kim Sanpang commanding the Korean People's Army to invade the United States, but it did happen, Huaxia, a country that can't even make its own shells, really invaded the Soviet Union, who gave them such courage.

A few days ago, the Chinese fighters entered Siberia to bomb and harass the Siberian Railway, but in the eyes of these generals, these problems are nothing, after all, the maneuverability of the plane is too strong, the pilot can go forward dozens of kilometers with a throttle at will, and the airspace is so large that you can't put up a fence to stop it, but the ground forces are different, the ground forces of one country run to the territory of another country, and the two sides are at war. This is already out-and-out aggression.

Yes, this is the aggression, the aggression of another country against the USSR after the German army. Moreover, this country is still the aggression of these countries that the Soviets have always despised to the bone, and everyone in the conference room felt a hot slap in their faces, and this slap was too hard.

Motolov no longer doubted Stalin's words, and only muttered: "How is this possible?" How dare they? ”

"He didn't just dare to think about it, he did it!" Stalin gritted his teeth and clenched his corn pipe in his right hand, "A telegram from Apanashchenko said that from the day before yesterday to yesterday, we had four divisions of troops defeated by the Chinese, and even the division commander of the 139th Division was captured, which is a great shame and unacceptable to us!" ”

"Yes, we can't accept it!" Motorov also came back to his senses, and as the chairman of the Soviet Foreign Affairs Committee, Motorov said without hesitation: "We should immediately recall the ambassador to China, immediately declare war on China, and let the Chinese people taste the bitter fruits of war!" ”

Stalin did not speak, but turned his gaze to the two marshals Zhukov and Timoshenko, who were sitting silently on the other side, and it was somewhat strange that these two Soviet marshals did not shoot the case like Motolov, and even shouted for a declaration of war with China.

Stalin spoke: "Comrade Zhukov, tell me what you think. ”

"Okay, Comrade Stalin."

Zhukov was about to stand up, but Stalin waved his hand and said: "Comrade Zhukov, now you are not reporting to work, but discussing the war situation with us, so you don't have to stand up and talk." ”

"Thank you." Zhukov sat down again, cleared his throat and said: "Then I will tell you my opinion, I do not agree with Comrade Motorov's proposal to declare war on China, because it is not in our current interests, and don't forget that we are still allies so far." ”

"Comrade Zhukov, please think of your words." Motorov stood up and glared at Zhukov and shouted: "You must know that the Chinese have invaded our motherland, they have become invaders, and you even call them allies, are you still a soldier of the Soviet team?" ”

"Of course I am, and always will be!"

Zhukov said unceremoniously: "But as a marshal of the Soviet Union, I have to think about the overall situation of the war, not to declare war on a country at a moment's notice." Declaring war is quite simple, just a telegram is enough, but have you thought about the consequences of declaring war? Fighting a war is not a matter of lip service, it is going to shed blood, and now our millions of main forces are still fighting a bloody war with the German fascists in Stalingrad, once we declare war with the Chinese, what does it mean, do you know? This means that we have one more enemy, and the Germans one more ally!

And as far as I know, the reason why the Chinese came here was only because a stupid regimental commander, in order to snatch some Japanese prisoners who did not belong to him, forcibly ordered those Chinese troops to retreat, and did not hesitate to shout for this to launch an attack on the Chinese. If this regimental commander had been in my unit, I would have shot him a hundred times. What puzzled me was that Comrade Apanashchenko of the Far Eastern Front not only did not punish the regiment commander, but also acquiesced in his actions, and some comrades even sent a telegram to intimidate the Chinese government, demanding that the Chinese government severely punish the general who had just defeated the Japanese Kwantung Army. God, this is the most ridiculously stupid thing I've ever heard in my life. It was precisely because of our arrogance and ignorance that this battle took place, but Comrade Motorov, you are now going to declare war on China, do you know what this means for the Soviet Union? ”

When it came to the last sentence, Zhukov said it word by word, almost with a glaring eye.

The conference room was silent, Stalin sat expressionlessly and resisted, Motolov blushed and his nostrils shrunk and swollen, Beria looked intently at a portrait of Lenin on the wall, and Timoshenko looked down at the table, as if to see the flowers.

After a long time, Stalin quietly said: "Comrade Zhukov, have you finished talking?" ”

Zhukov hurriedly said: "Comrade Stalin, I'm done. ”

Stalin said again: "Comrade Timoshenko, do you have anything to say?" ”

Timoshenko hesitated, slowly raised his head and said: "Comrade Stalin, I basically agree with the words of Comrade Zhukov. It is not suitable for us to wage an all-out war with China now, because it will be detrimental to our anti-fascist cause. ”

"Reason!" Stalin's voice was as cold as snow drifting from the Siberian plains.

Timoshenko gritted his teeth, "Comrade Stalin, our main enemy at this stage is still Germany, and it is not appropriate to set up another enemy before all the German fascists have been eliminated." Speaking of this, Timoshenge also let go, and he said boldly: "I admit that compared with China, Huaxia is a weak country, and it is far behind us in terms of military, politics, economy, and even industry, but please don't forget that Huaxia has one of the biggest advantages, that is, it is a large country with a population, and no one can ignore a population of 450 million." The Japanese originally thought that they could solve Huaxia in three months, but now? Five years have passed, and although the Japanese have occupied nearly half of the territory of China, they have also trapped millions of elites. The reason for this is that although China is weak, they have an almost endless source of troops, and it will not be long before they can pull out a force of several million again, and if we the Soviet Union also attack China like Japan, then will it repeat the mistakes of Japan, which is also a question that we must consider. ”

Hearing this, Stalin took a pinch of tobacco from his pocket and put it in the cigarette butt, struck a match and lit the cigarette, and even Motolov began to ponder. After pondering for a while, he realized that what Temoshenge said was not unreasonable, you can have a thousand reasons to look down on Huaxia, but you can't help but face up to the power he has. 450 million, even if only 1% of the population is recruited, Huaxia can recruit 4.5 million troops. Four and a half million, a number that would make even the best commanders despair.

Just when Motorov was secretly frightened, Zhukov made up for it: "Also, we have to consider a question, if we declare war with Huaxia, will Huaxia completely fall to the Axis powers?" If China had completely thought about the Axis powers, the Germans would not have given up this opportunity, and if Japan had stopped attacking China and instead armed China with Germany, then comrades can imagine how many troops the Axis countries could muster. I won't say 45 million, even if it's only 10 million, it's enough for us to be uncomfortable. Come to think of it, I can't imagine what would happen if 10 million armed Chinese troops and millions of Japanese troops poured into Siberia. ”

In fact, there is no need for Zhukov to say, Motorov was already shivering at this time. Now the Soviet Union is in a stalemate with the Germans, and once tens of millions of soldiers pour into the Soviet Union, they will swallow the entire Soviet Union like a flood, which is really terrible.

At this time, Stalin, who had been smoking, spoke, "Comrade Timoshenko, can the Chinese really make up 10 million soldiers?" ”

"Only more, not less!" Temoshenko said: "According to the limit conscription interest rate proposed by the British, the maximum proportion of a country's maximum conscription is 25 percent of a country's total population, so according to this ratio, the maximum conscription number of Chinese should be about 110 million. ”

Hearing this, even a person with such a strong character of Stalin couldn't help but tremble with his hands. 110 million soldiers, this is simply crazy, if there are really 110 million soldiers pouring into the Soviet Union, they can't even think about this consequence, if they really want more than 100 million Chinese soldiers to pour into the Soviet Union, I am afraid that it will not be long before the entire Soviet Union will be dyed yellow by the Chinese people!

After taking two puffs of cigarette, Stalin spoke, "What Comrade Timoshenko and Comrade Zhukov said is very reasonable, then we can not declare war on China, but since the Chinese have invaded our territory, then we must show the proper posture." Comrade Timoshenko, you are the commander of the Stalingrad Front, and I intend to transfer six infantry divisions, one tank division, and one aviation army from your Front to the south to reinforce Comrade Apanashchenko's Far Eastern Front. ”

Although Stalin used a consultative tone, the tone of his words was so resolute. Timoshenko said with some reluctance: "Comrade Stalin, I don't have any problem if I only transfer six infantry divisions, but will it be too much to lose one tank division and one aviation army, which will affect the battle on the Stalingrad side." ”

Zhukov also frowned, in his opinion, the Chinese can only be regarded as a small fight in Ulan-Ude, and it is a battle of several divisions, and the main battlefield of the Soviet Union is still in Stalingrad.

Since the Germans returned from the Battle of Moscow, Hitler has focused his attention on the south of the Soviet Union, because for the Soviet Union, Ukrainian grain and Caucasus grain are the key to supporting the Soviet Union to carry out the war, and this is also a resource that the Germans urgently need, otherwise it will be difficult for Hitler to continue this huge war. Stalingrad was strategically located in the southern part of the Soviet Union, where it guarded the Volga and Don rivers, two of the country's most important inland shipping routes.

As the hub connecting the southern region of the Soviet Union and Moscow, Stalingrad has become a battleground between the Soviet and German armies, once Stalingrad is occupied by the German army, the supply line of oil supply from the southern oil fields of the Soviet Union to Moscow will be cut off, and Moscow may not be able to protect without oil. In order to seize the city, the Soviet Union and Germany invested more than 3 million troops, and it can be said that whether this battle can be won or not will directly affect the outcome of the Soviet-German war.

In view of the importance of the Battle of Stalingrad, Zhukov did not want to draw even a single soldier from the Stalingrad battlefield, but he also knew that if he persuaded Stalin again, not only would it not be effective, but he would also be reprimanded by Stalin.

Thinking of this, Zhukov sighed lightly in his heart, I hope that the Far Eastern Front can quickly defeat those Chinese, otherwise it will be troublesome.
