Stalin really didn't know what to do now. He really wanted to shoot Budyonny, who had ruined the good situation, but now Budyonny is no different from dead.

This Marshal of the Soviet Union, now surrounded in Smolensk, basically did not end well.

If Budyonny surrenders, then he can be said to be ruined, and the title of Marshal of the Soviet Union is destined to block his way out.

As for saying that he died in battle in Smolensk, that was exactly what Stalin wanted. But what happens next after losing Smolensk?

Moscow was about to become a front-line city, and the German planes actually had enough range to fly to Moscow for bombing.

Someday in the future, perhaps Germany will actually organize a massive bombing campaign that will turn Moscow into ruins.

Stalin was afraid of such a thing, because he really did not want the capital to be destroyed by the enemy during his reign.

But the truth is so ruthless, and now the new German Ju-118 bomber can already fly over Moscow and drop bombs to greet Comrade Stalin.

"Peace is impossible! Over my dead body! At this moment, the leader of the Soviet Union, banging on the table, roared at his men.

He was not willing to accept a humiliating peace, and he did not want to end the war, even if it cost another million people.

Until now, he did not realize his mistake and still fantasized about planting the red flag all over Europe.

Lenin could not fulfill the wishes, and he Stalin must have fulfilled them. In this way, his excellence can be revealed, and in this way, his name will be guaranteed in the Soviet Union for generations to come.

Dozens of generals trembled under Stalin's roar, they did not dare to raise their own objections, and could only follow Stalin's orders.

In fact, the Great Purge brought not only suffering to the Soviet Union, but also the benefits of unifying all government decrees.

When there is only one voice in a country and everyone's strength is concentrated in one direction, it can often burst out with the power to destroy the world.

So sometimes democracy is not necessarily better than dictatorship, and everyone knows that many dictatorial dynasties in ancient China had systems that were many times more advanced than those of Greek democracy.

"Don't send more troops to the front, concentrate field forces in the direction of Moscow! We are going to fight the toughest defensive battle on our doorstep! "Stalin was not a straw bale, on the contrary, he had a certain ability to organize the military.

After discovering that the field battle was no match for the German army, he also set the focus of his defense near Moscow.

It was impossible to stop the German advance on Moscow, and the best thing to do now was to hold off the Germans as much as possible and let them consume most of their elite near Moscow.

To put it mildly, the time that the USSR lacked was a lot of time for mobilization and the allocation of production materials and the organization of production.

As long as the German army can be delayed, even if it loses Moscow, it is not unacceptable.

You know, during the Napoleonic period, Moscow fell. Since you've already fallen once, you don't care about falling again.

"Gather armored forces and lay out a new line of defense around Moscow......" Stalin, who was ready for a desperate battle in Moscow, gave his various orders.

As he spoke, he looked at Khrushchev, who was standing not far away, and commanded with disgust on his face: "Comrade Khrushchev will be the political commissar of Moscow's defense!" ”

As soon as Khrushchev heard this, he knew that something bad was going to happen. Although he also lost the war on the front line before, most of the blame was borne by Marshal Timoshenko.

That's why he's standing here like he's all right, participating in meetings at this level. However, Stalin still felt that Khrushchev had a certain responsibility, so he has not been entrusted with important responsibilities so far.

Now, Stalin named him as political commissar, that is, he intended to keep him in Moscow, which is not a good sign.

Although it is said that Moscow cannot afford to lose, it will definitely gather heavy troops to defend. But after all, it is about to become a front-line city, and the safety factor has plummeted.

But by this time, he also had to stand up and receive his own order: "Comrade Stalin! I will hold Moscow and live and die with Moscow! ”

Stalin was not sitting still, and in recent days he was giving orders to concentrate on the production of more advanced T-34 tanks.

Moreover, the R&D team is working on a heavy tank named after Stalin to counter the German Leopard tank.

Once this new tank was created, Germany's armor superiority would cease to exist, and the Soviet army in the field would have the strength to fight a war.

"Don't worry! I won't give up on Moscow easily! The government department moved first, and I am still sitting here! "Stalin gave Khrushchev a reassurance.

After all, Stalin himself did not want to give up Moscow prematurely, because it was the political center of the Soviet Union.

Stalin was in high pressure at the time of the Great Purge, and he himself was afraid that once he left Moscow, someone would turn against him.

It was in this complicated mood that Stalin opened his mouth to comfort Khrushchev, who received the order: "Comrade Khrushchev, we all have to fight for the country to the end, this is our responsibility!" ”

Everyone has their own responsibilities, and such responsibilities imprison everyone. Stalin had his ideas, Khrushchev had Khrushchev's ideas, Budyonny now has nothing of his own.

His basement was not even 2 kilometers away from the front line of the war. Although there was still a lot of depth on the two flanks, the nearest positions of the German army had indeed advanced in front of his eyes.

At a distance of two kilometers, if you are on flat ground, you can even clearly see the enemy's attack.

Although he couldn't see it, Budyonny could tell from the gray expressions on the faces of his subordinates that his death was not far away.

"The phone line is broken...... Comrade Marshal...... Our contact with the 178th Army was cut off. Putting down the phone, one of his subordinates looked at his marshal and reported.

By this time the battle had been fought, many people had lost much hope. This is the most terrible thing, because there is no hope, which means that the will to resist is lost.

In the final period of the battle, the number of troops surrendered would be much greater than the number of resistance killed, which meant that the organized battle collapsed.

Now, Budyonny is facing a situation that is about to become like this.
