In the Soviet Union, in the Moscow Kremlin, many military officers and government officials stood there, not daring to look at Stalin, who was already very angry. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

And Stalin didn't seem to have spoken for a long time, he just sat like this, and then played with the pipe in his hand with the handle of his hand.

He looked at the men in front of him and knew that if he didn't speak first, or didn't directly order one or more of them to be killed, the silence would last until tomorrow or even the next morning.

Therefore, he still spoke, with a slow tone, and let his beard shake: "When I need to demonstrate Soviet justice, you tell me that the Red Army, as the iron fist of the Soviet will, cannot be used? ”

"The 2,000,000-strong Soviet Red Army is ready for an attack on the country, but you tell me that you, as commanders, can't provide these valiant soldiers with cotton clothes for the winter and enough weapons and ammunition?"

"Our country has so many reserves, and our industrial production is more than ten times that of the past, but now you are telling me that you cannot maintain the will of the country!"

"Under the leadership of Comrade Lenin, we have defeated countless enemies who tried to invade the Soviet Union, and we have been invincible and have always wiped out all the white bandits!"

As if reminiscing, Stalin was full of fantasies about the great era he had experienced, led by Lenin.

"We were weak at that time, but we dared to fight! Now we are a hundred times stronger than before, but we are as timid as rats! By the time Stalin said this, he was already speaking quite quickly.

When he spoke of being cowardly, all the military representatives swallowed involuntarily - the officers were really afraid that Stalin would drag them out and send them to Siberia.

Although, because too many people advised Stalin, Stalin finally canceled the order to attack, no one was able to extinguish the anger in Stalin's heart.

Although Stalin agreed to the proposal not to attack Germany immediately, he demanded that the plan for a heavy thunderstorm be brought forward to an earlier time.

He was not prepared to settle this account of Stalin and Hitler, but he had to store it first, and finally liquidate it with interest.

"It's still the same sentence! I'm going to have a big thunderstorm plan ready by May 1941! Gotta be prepared! Do you understand? Stalin slammed the table and shouted at his men.

In fact, the Thunderstorm Plan had been revised to the point of being frighteningly large -- the Soviet Union was preparing to send a full 4 million troops on the Soviet-German border to wipe out the German border guards and occupy Berlin and other areas in one fell swoop.

If conditions permit, before the United States enters the war, the Soviet Union should occupy the middle of Europe and plant the red flag in the cities of these places!

"The great leader, Comrade Stalin...... The transfer of personnel is relatively easy, but the lack of equipment and materials is the most direct problem that has caused the heavy thunderstorm plan to be delayed again and again. Finally, an officer explained.

There was no way for him either, because his colleagues around him were looking at him and needed him to stand up at this time and sacrifice himself to remind the great leader, Comrade Stalin.

Obviously, Joseph? Stalin was not a man who did not listen to opinions, he was still willing to listen to the opinions of his subordinates - but whether he would settle accounts after the autumn was not clear.

"In terms of military industry, we must ensure the continuous production of the most powerful weapons, which is the top priority, and as for the relevant auxiliary materials, there is no need to be too entangled." Stalin's advice is also a matter of trade-offs.

Li Le was also making trade-offs for Germany, and Stalin was also making trade-offs for the Soviet Union. In this trade-off, the Soviet Union also gave up some things.

"For example, in tents and other supplies, we can save some money. Soldiers can sleep in enemy houses, they can sleep in foxholes and trenches, and tents are not necessarily needed! Stalin quickly found his senses and opened his mouth to give his opinion.

It is a pity that Stalin, although strategically barely a military strategist, was not a qualified tactician.

He didn't understand that a large number of seemingly unimportant materials were actually an indispensable part of a war.

The Soviet army could sleep in the wilderness, but it could not continue to fight without food. These soldiers can overcome many difficulties with their spirits, but they cannot fight the enemy without ammunition.

What's more, in modern warfare, there are high-tech arms such as the Air Force, which require huge logistical support and more powerful soldiers to manipulate.

"We need about 2 billion rounds of ammunition on the Western Front to support a large-scale offensive campaign......," a Soviet officer said, reminding Stalin.

The general has already concealed the actual number, because the bullet gap of 2 billion is actually only the estimated amount of ammunition consumed in the first phase of the offensive. And if you want to continue the attack, this number will need to increase by another 2 billion or more.

"There was also a quality gap between the I-16 fighter and the aircraft in the hands of the Germans. We don't have enough quality pilots, and training is still ongoing...... "When it comes to the implementation of the thunderstorm plan, the Soviet military has a lot of grievances waiting to be confided.

Stalin was overwhelmed by all sorts of reasons and excuses, and in this case he knew that if his men were not willing to do something, there would always be a whole host of reasons to prevaricate.

"Enough!" Stalin's rebuke made the remaining officers and other officers who were waiting to join the grievances shut their mouths.

They all looked at Stalin, waiting for this absolute core leader to open his mouth and continue to speak his own thoughts.

"Difficulties exist at all times, what we need is the courage to overcome them, not to complain here!" Stalin glanced at his men and said coldly.

If he shouted at this time, "If there is difficulty, you have to go up, and if there is no difficulty, you have to go to create difficulties", the funny effect may be better......

Slogans can be shouted by everyone, even in this room, better than Stalin. But what the Soviet generals standing there had in their minds was much more complicated than shouting slogans.

There is intelligence that the German Army is increasing its firepower, from guns to heavy weaponry.

These enhancements forced the Soviet Union's thunderstorm plan to be changed again and again, and the speed of improvement did not increase much relatively speaking.

The changes in the German army on the other side of the border, although most of them are still in the clouds, cannot completely conceal the observations and detectives of the Soviet military. These generals were much more professional than Stalin, and they knew that the Germans were also trying to strengthen their border forces as much as possible.

All things considered, if the Soviet Union wanted to have an advantage on the Soviet-German border, and the advantage was enough to launch an attack, the Thunderstorm plan was to be doubled compared to the current one...... Obviously, this was something that the Soviet side could not afford.

"The troops of the Germans are approaching, even crossing the Suez Canal! If we don't hurry up and prepare what to do if the situation collapses, do we have to wait for the Germans to come to Moscow? Stalin opened his mouth, and the topic finally returned to the question of the bottom line.

The Soviet Union failed to threaten Germany, and took the initiative to withdraw its troops on the border, which was already considered to have lost the face of its own country......

In this case, Stalin's character, as a well-known leader of the country, determined that he could not casually forget about this shame.

Of course, at the national level, after the threat is unsuccessful, it is inevitable to find a way to find its own field from other places or at another time.

"The diplomatic department has sent special envoys to Germany and the United States, and we are looking for ways to gain more diplomatic advantages." An official from the diplomatic service spoke.

At this moment, the Soviet envoy has arrived in Berlin, and the team of envoys to the United States is still on the way, the Soviet Union is not a fool, the Soviet diplomatic department inherited from Tsarist Russia, in fact, when dealing with international affairs, it is still very experienced and means.

The team of envoys to Germany was responsible for explaining Soviet foreign policy decisions and recovering the Soviet threat from failure.

As for the diplomatic team going to the United States, it is to contact the United States for support, and strive to obtain the support of the United States when it looks for a field in the future.

Neither Russia nor the Soviet Union was able to become a world power and continue to do so until 1991, competing with the world hegemon the United States for a long time, and this country was not a simple-minded player.

What really convinced Stalin was not the unprepared minutiae of the Thunderstorm Plan, nor the bitter pleas of the generals, but what made Stalin back down was actually two attempts at expansion against Poland and Finland.

Both expansion "rehearsals" ended in a crushing victory or defeat for the Soviet Union, which to some extent made Stalin more cautious in his decision-making.

Stalin was timid when faced with a much more combat-ready behemoth, Germany, and he was not willing to attack without being prepared, even if the Germans were equally unprepared, and he was not willing to try lightly.

"Do not soften your hardline attitude towards the Germans and continue to reaffirm our consistent position in the Middle East!" Stalin thought for a moment and then opened his mouth to command.

Looking at the officers and generals who were not very competitive over there, Stalin finally said: "The border areas must hurry up, I need to complete the operational deployment of the thunderstorm plan as soon as possible!" Attacking Germany was a must, and the Bolshevik flag would be planted all over Europe! ”

"Yes! Comrade Stalin, the great leader! We get it! All the generals replied with a salute.

As long as they are given time, they can continue to refine the thunderstorm plan, although there is no end to the improvement, and it is obviously a good thing for everyone to buy more time.
