Chapter 1561: Khrushchev's Arrangement
When Lyudmila opened the command, she suddenly froze.
Going to the United States?
At the beginning, Lyudmila left Odessa, with the intention of visiting the United States, to introduce the stories of the vigorous battles that took place on the battlefield of the Soviet Union, to tell the Soviet Union's singing and weeping combat experience, and to publicize the determination of the Soviet Union to win, so as to attract sponsorship.
If the Soviet Union had lost confidence, how could the Americans support it?
But the plan could not keep up with the changes, and in the end Lyudmila did not make the trip, and after recovering from her injury, Lyudmila entered the women's sniper school and fought to train Soviet female snipers.
The Soviet Union not only has female snipers, but also female pilots and female tankers.
Especially now, seeing that the Germans are about to attack Moscow, and their own side is preparing for the defense of Moscow, street fighting, at this time, Lyudmila will actually receive such an order?
The Americans' invitations are extensive, and if only people from the scientific community are invited, it would be a bit of a weasel to give a New Year's greeting to the chicken, so they have invited them in all aspects.
Whether to go or not is the business of the Soviets, whether to invite or not, that is the business of the Americans, and now, the Americans have also invited the famous battle heroine, the woman who does not let the shaved Lyudmila.
"I'm not going." Lyudmila only glanced at it, and then threw the order to the herald: "Go back and tell Zhukov that if you want to go to the United States, he will go by himself, and at this time, don't try to transfer me away." ”
Zhukov was in charge of the defense of Moscow, and all the armies were under his command, and this order was issued by Zhukov.
Only Lyudmila dared to say this directly, Comrade Stalin personally received Lyudmila, and Lyudmila was not afraid of Zhukov.
Don't look at when, my own life, that is to be dedicated to the Soviets, if Moscow is lost, I will leave my life here, what to go to the United States!
Similar situations are staged everywhere, where soldiers take obedience to orders as their duty, and now they have to fight even if they are resisting orders! No one wants to leave Moscow, this is their capital, they have no way back.
After receiving the news one after another, Stalin also sighed: "This is our capital, we will live and die with Moscow, and you should not persuade me, I will never leave Moscow." ”
Stalin once again reiterated his point of view, not even Zhukov, no one could let Stalin leave Moscow!
"Yes." Molotov said: "However, when this large number of people go to the United States, they still need someone to lead the team. ”
It is better to have a leader, hearing this, Stalin looked at Molotov: "Why don't you go?" ”
Stalin said carelessly, but Molotov heard the murderous spirit in it, Stalin didn't leave, who can be a deserter?
"No, I will not go, but, we have a report here, Comrade Khrushchev wants to lead the team." Molotov said.
Khrushchev, in the upper echelons of the Soviets, was also a man with several ups and downs, and even if he was temporarily defeated, he would rely on a shameless spirit to return to the center of power.
And in Kiev, after the defeat of the battle, he retreated east with Timoshenko and continued to organize the war of resistance.
At the beginning, Pavlov lost the battle and ate the gun, but the defeat of Kiev could not be counted on the heads of Timoshenko and Khrushchev, when the German middle army moved south, no matter who commanded it, it would lose the battle.
If he had listened to Zhukov's advice and retreated Kiev's troops to Moscow, the millions of troops would have defended Moscow into an impregnable wall and held out until winter
Khrushchev can be regarded as having worked hard for a long time, and judging by his performance, he can indeed arrange an easy errand for him.
Let him lead the team and go to the United States, this can also give full play to Khrushchev's strengths, after all, he is also a political veteran, and he has rich experience in foreign visits, let him sign a military order, bring out as many people as he wants, and bring back as many people as he wants, not a single one less.
Thinking of this, Stalin almost nodded, and at this moment, a telegram arrived, like a bolt from the blue, shocking everyone present.
"Stalingrad, danger is imminent, this morning, the Turkish army, has appeared near the Don River."
Turkish army, damn Turkey!
Stalin was quite angry, his fists were clenched, this wall grass, now he dared to come to his own trouble!
At the beginning, the Germans relied on the Baku oil field as bait to lure Turkey into the war against the Soviet Union, but the Turks fought for a long time and did not get any benefits, and were picked up by the Persians and occupied Baku.
The Turks didn't get anything, of course they didn't want to, at this time, the Germans spoke again, they could continue to fight north, and the land they fought down was all Turkish!
Thus, Turkey continued to march towards the territory of the Soviet Union in the north, and actually crossed the Caucasus Mountains and advanced to the Don River, which was almost less than a hundred kilometers away from Stalingrad.
Of course, this was also due to the fact that the Soviet forces were really tight, and when the Baku oil fields were occupied, the main forces here were wiped out in Armenia, which was actually quite empty.
The Turks crossed the mountains all the way to Stalingrad.
Stalingrad, located in the Volga River Valley, was also an important industrial city in the Soviet Union, such as the Stalingrad Tractor Factory, which was constantly producing main battle tanks, and now Stalingrad is facing the threat of the Turks.
I thought that the main forces of the Germans were against Moscow, and the rest of the Soviet territory was safe for the time being, who would have thought that there would be damned Turks!
"The Turks must not be allowed to defile our city!" Zhukov immediately expressed his opinion.
The rest of the city, Stalingrad, is named after a great leader! How can it be defiled by a group of Turks?
"Yes, order the garrison of Stalingrad to defend the city." Stalin said: "The Turks must not be allowed to occupy it." ”
There are no extra troops, Moscow is still nervous, after Stalin said this, he suddenly thought of a person again: "Order Khrushchev, go to Stalingrad, as a political commissar, supervise the war, whoever fights unfavorably can be killed on the spot!" ”
