778 evacuation

"Pack all these things and load them into the car, understand?" Standing in the inner courtyard of the Kremlin with his hands behind his back, Stalin's secretary had an unconcealable joy on his face.

He can finally get out of this damn place, he doesn't have to decay and destroy with this city.

In the afternoon, he could leave with the convoy and follow Comrade Stalin to Chelyabinsk.

Once there, they were more than 1300 kilometers away from the front line, there was no threat, not even the enemy's air force could be seen.

"And this, yes! Be careful, these files can be very useful! Can't get lost! Do you understand? He stood next to a truck and said to the soldiers who were carrying documents.

Although most of the documents and archives have been moved out of Moscow, there are many that need to be used for the remains.

These documents and ad hoc reports are to be consulted at any time, so they cannot be removed in advance.

Moreover, the documents produced by more than 1 million troops on the Moscow side, as well as millions of civilians in a day, are not a small number.

Since Stalin was leaving, it was not only the guards who went with him, but also some lucky confidential secretaries and office officials.

There are hundreds of these people, and there are as many as a convoy in a car.

In addition, the very fact that Comrade Stalin was going to leave the capital and move east to Chelyabinsk was to be kept strictly secret, and the route was planned in detail.

The Air Force takes off aircraft for cover, and arranges for some to leave by plane, another by car, and the rest by train.

Those who left by car also had two different routes, acting as suspects to prevent them from being destroyed by a sneak attack by the enemy or by their own people who were dissatisfied with Stalin.

At the last minute, Stalin decided to leave on his own – perhaps by car, perhaps by train, and as for airplanes, this option was the least likely.

After all, the reliability of airplanes in this era is not very high, and it is a relatively dangerous thing for national leaders to take planes.

In addition, near Moscow, where Stalin was located, the Luftwaffe had resumed its activities, and the Germans had easily mastered air supremacy on the battlefield, so the Soviet transport planes were no different from targets.

In such a situation, no one would pray that the Luftwaffe would be lazy and not intercept their own planes, so Stalin would not have considered leaving Moscow by plane.

All that's left is to leave with the convoy or by train – more comfortable by train and more flexible by car.

Relatively speaking, the capacity of the train was greater, so many documents, as well as most of the Stalinist Guards, would leave by train.

"Boom!" In the distance, to the west of the city, the sound of German artillery fire wafted in, making the move bleak.

The secretary glanced in the direction of the west of the city, where he heard that it had been turned into a Shura field. The Soviets lost thousands of men every day to maintain the already crumbling line.

The Germans were so close to him that he could even smell the burning gunpowder in the air.

Not only him, but when the sound of artillery came, there were also soldiers carrying supplies looking into the distance. Their comrades-in-arms are fighting desperately, while they themselves are busy carrying some luxury goods into the car.

It can be said that they are lucky, because they do not have to go to the front line to die at this moment. But they were also unfortunate in comparison - they were not Stalin's personal guards, so they had to stay and fight.

Although they don't have to go to the front to fight today, tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, they will be separated, integrated into the troops, and sacrificed themselves in the Great Patriotic War.

"Comrade...... Truck No. 3 is full. An officer came over and handed the statistical list of what was in the truck to Stalin's secretary: "You can check it. ”

"No need, let the soldiers hurry up and pack the No. 4 truck, we're already 3 minutes late." The secretary glanced at his pocket watch, waved his hand, and said.

Even if you can't find them, they don't matter – the main purpose of taking them away is to be able to find them in the workplace of the future.

But the war has become what it is today, and no one will bother with whether or not to find some information. If you can't find it, you can't find it, because there are so many things that can't be found.

It is possible for the soldiers not to find their commander in battle, and it is also possible for the commander to not find his soldiers in the rout.

When someone goes missing in war, no one cares if they're missing, runaway, or captured.

These had to be carefully counted after the war, and the difference was so many that it was desperate. And that's just demographic confusion, not counting the lack of records of certain events.

On the whole, there are countless unsolved mysteries in this world war, and as for some of the important or unimportant documents in Moscow now, they are really dispensable.

"Hurry up! Before dinner today, the breakaway plan will be executed! The secretary put down his pocket watch and scolded the soldier loudly.

The soldiers carrying the boxes moved faster, cramming box after box of papers into the bed of the truck, despite the bare scraps of paper flying around.

Before it could be filled, the soldiers above lowered the canvas curtains, and then shouted loudly for the driver in the cab in front of him to drive to car No. 3 and stand by.

Stalin was also looking at everything in front of him, watching the car drive into the inner courtyard and as countless things familiar and unfamiliar to him were moved into the car.

In fact, he decided to leave 2 days ago, but the preparations were more complicated than he imagined, so he delayed until today.

The Germans had advanced 10 kilometers and were still waiting in Moscow. In the train station, the trains have stopped, and hundreds of cars have left.

"Great leader, Comrade Stalin, there will be a Guards Infantry Division on the road to pass with you, and you don't need to worry about security." Konev reported with his chin held high, standing behind Stalin by the window.

The forces that protect the leader's departure must be drawn no matter what. An elite infantry division, as well as Stalin's convoy, plus an armored train, and an armored regiment of 40 tanks.

"I'll hand over Moscow to you...... I hope you can hold on here until victory comes! Stalin didn't look back, looked out the window and said.
