289 Stalin's speech
"The perfidious German military offensive against our homeland from May 15 is continuing. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Although the Red Army put up a heroic resistance, and although the enemy's elite divisions and elite air units were routed and buried on the battlefield, the enemy threw new forces into the front line and continued to advance.
Heydrich's army occupied all of Lithuania, most of Latvia, western Belarus, and part of western Ukraine. The fascist air force is expanding its bombing area, bombing the cities of Murmansk, Orsha, Mogilev, Smolensk, Kyiv, Odessa, Sevastopol, etc. Our homeland is in grave danger.
Was the German fascist army really invincible? Of course not!
History shows that there is never an invincible army in this world, and once Napoleon's army was invincible, but they were defeated by us! Wilhelm's German army was once considered invincible, but they were still defeated by us countless times!
For the current Heydrich Germany, they were also considered invincible, and that was because they had never encountered any major resistance on the European continent! It was only on our territory that they felt a major resistance for the first time, and for the first time they suffered a major blow!
As a result of this resistance, the elite divisions of the German fascist army have been routed by our Red Army, which means that just as the armies of Napoleon and Wilhelm were routed, Heydrich's fascist army could be routed and would certainly be routed.
The reason why part of our homeland will be occupied by the Germans is because this war is a surprise attack that they have been planning for a long time, they are well prepared, they have quietly assembled 170 divisions on the border, they are fully prepared for war, and we have a non-aggression pact with them, and the whole world thinks that they cannot attack us.
Obviously, we who love peace are not willing to start a war, let alone treacherously attack our allies, but the Germans launched a sneak attack under such circumstances, resulting in the fall of a large amount of our territory.
The fall of our land is only temporary, our army, our great Soviet Red Army fighters are ready, they are rushing to the battlefield, they are fighting these invaders! ”

"All of our valiant Army, all of our valiant Navy, all of our pilots, our Eagles, all the peoples of our country, all the fine men of Europe, America, Asia, and all the good men of Germany, condemn the perfidy of the German fascists, sympathize with the Soviet Government, approve of the actions of the Soviet Government, and believe that our cause is just, that the enemy will be defeated, and that we will be victorious.
We have waged a desperate struggle against the German fascists, and our troops are fighting an enemy armed to the teeth with tanks and aircraft. Our Red Army and Red Navy are fighting against all odds to defend every inch of the territory of the USSR! The main forces of the Soviet Red Army, with thousands of tanks and thousands of aircraft, were thrown into battle, the heroism of the Red Army fighters was unparalleled, and our attacks on the German invaders were constantly intensifying. The entire Soviet people should rise up together with the Red Army soldiers to defend our Motherland! ”

"Their purpose is to usurp the land that we have watered with our own sweat, and to plunder the food and oil that we have obtained with our own labor. Their aim was to restore the landlord regime, to restore tsarism, to destroy the national culture and state system of Russians, Ukrainians, Belarusians, Lithuanians, Latvians, Estonians, Uzbeks, Tatars, Moldavians, Georgians, Armenians, Azerbaijanis, and other free peoples of the Soviet Union, to Germanize them, to turn them into slaves of the German princes and nobles. Therefore, it is a question of the life and death of the Soviet state, of the life and death of the people of the Soviet Union, of whether the people of the Soviet Union enjoy freedom or become slaves. The Soviets must be made aware of this, that they should no longer be indifferent, that they must be mobilized to remake their whole work in the new wartime way, and to show a ruthless attitude towards the enemy. ”
......
"We should immediately change all our work according to the needs of war, so that everything is subordinated to the interests of the front, to the task of organizing and crushing the enemy! The peoples of the Soviet Union should rise up against the enemy and defend their rights and their homeland!
The Red Army, the Red Navy and the entire Soviet people should defend every inch of Soviet territory, fight to the last drop of blood to defend our cities and villages, and show the bravery, initiative and resourcefulness inherent in our people.
We should organize comprehensive support for the Red Army, ensure a vigorous replenishment of the ranks of the Red Army, ensure the supply of all the necessities of the Red Army, organize the rapid transportation of troops and military supplies, and provide extensive care for the wounded.
We should consolidate the rear of the Red Army, subordinate all work to the interests of this cause, and ensure that all enterprises can intensify their work to produce more rifles, machine guns, artillery, bullets, shells, and airplanes, to organize the guarding of factories, power stations, telephone and telegraph facilities, and to put in order the affairs of local air defense.
We should wage a merciless struggle against all those who disturb the rear, deserters, panic elements and rumor-mongers, eliminate spies, saboteurs and enemy paratroopers, and assist our hoe camps in a timely manner in these respects. It must be noted that the enemy is insidious and cunning, good at deception and rumor-mongering. All this must be estimated and not provoked by the enemy. Whoever is so frightened and greedy for death that endangers the defence, whoever it may be, should be brought immediately before a military tribunal.
When the Red Army units had to retreat, they had to transport all the railway rolling stock, leaving not a single locomotive or carriage for the enemy, not a kilogram of grain and a liter of fuel. The collective farm clerk shall drive away all the livestock and hand over the grain to the state organs for safekeeping so that it can be transported to the rear. All valuables that cannot be transported, including non-ferrous metals, food and fuel, should be destroyed absolutely.
In enemy-occupied areas, it is necessary to establish cavalry and infantry guerrilla units and sabotage squads in order to fight the enemy troops, to ignite the beacons of guerrilla warfare everywhere, to blow up bridges, roads, to destroy telephone and telegraph communication facilities, and to burn forests, warehouses and baggage. In the occupied zone, it is necessary to create conditions that make it impossible for the enemy and all his lackeys to take refuge, to pursue them step by step, to destroy them, to disrupt all their activities. ”

"Support our heroic Red Army and our glorious Red Navy with all our strength!
Crush the enemy with all the power of the people!
For our victory, forward!"
Stalin's voice echoed over Red Square in Moscow, for the first time since the outbreak of the war he appeared in front of the Soviet people, the Soviet Union, now it needs him to stand up, the Soviet people need him to stand up!
At the end of this speech, he had more important things to do, he wanted to reorganize the top of the Red Army, he wanted to regain the initiative in the war, and he believed that the great Soviet would never fall, because he was there!
