"Germany was, is, and will never be victorious in Moscow!"

With this uplifting slogan, Stalin ended his radio speech.

On the surface, Stalin spoke in a more firm tone than anyone else, more convinced than anyone else that the German army would eventually lose in Moscow.

But what about the facts? He panicked!

The drawbacks of the multifaceted cooperation with Germany in those days are now becoming more and more apparent. The achievements he had made in Soviet-German cooperation were now largely returned to the Germans.

More and more intelligence is showing that Soviet-German cooperation was only a bureau of Reinhardt's subordinates from beginning to end, and it was an outright conspiracy.

It's just that Stalin couldn't figure out how Reinhardt could do it, having such foresight 18 years ago that they would definitely be able to defeat Poland, then France, then England, and finally turn around against the Soviet Union.

This is no longer a category that can be understood by common sense.

If Reinhardt really had this kind of miraculous ability, then this battle ...... I really can't fight it!

The Polish occupation zone changed hands, the Kiev industrial zone fell, the Minsk industrial zone fell, the Moscow gateway Smolensk was lost, the German chariots drove straight into the heart of the Soviet Union, and the German trains transported strategic materials unimpeded......

Today, these problems need to be solved by Stalin, the leader and the initiator of Soviet-German cooperation. This includes how to bring back to production the industrial system that was on the verge of collapse due to the fall of important industrial regions, including to bring to a halt the "Germanic chariot" that Germany had invincible, to stabilize the crumbling Stalinist lines, and to maintain his own increasingly questionable dominance.

When he cooperated with the Germans, Stalin also had to bite the bullet.

At that time, his unit had just lost the battle, and Tukhachevsky shifted the blame to himself. If he did not hope that cooperation with Germany would save some of his image at home and make a good impression on Lenin, where would Stalin easily accept the olive branch extended by Reinhardt.

Now it is good that the city named after Lenin will soon be taken down by the German soldiers. Moscow, where Stalin himself was, was similarly in danger.

All this seems to be inextricably linked to the hands and plans of the Germans in cooperation.

However, the cooperation had been effective, at least giving Soviet industry a chance to take off, and it did improve the country's poor transportation situation.

18 years ago, exactly 18 years ago!

Who could have thought 18 years ago of today, to beware of a Germany that the world thought would never turn over.

Who would have thought that Germany was pressed so hard by France, and it could grit its teeth to develop the army, and turn around and slap France to death!

When the Germans played France, the cards in their hands were rotten to the crotch, and the result was ...... Won!

At that time, Germany was not as full of little brothers as it is now, and allies were everywhere.

The German army can be described as a real lone army, and it hammered the British, French and Belgian allied forces!

Then, Germany's allies became more and more numerous from then on, and the Allied military bloc formed by Germany became larger and larger. Even the League of Nations, once the vanguard of the anti-German movement, is now a flag of Germany.

Then, Stalin seized the last opportunity to take advantage of the Anglo-German war to sneak attack.

So, there was the next terrible scene.

On the Northern Front, Voroshilov had completely lost hope in the defense of Leningrad's vast periphery.

There were roads suitable for combat vehicles, excellent logistical supplies, more detailed operational maps than the Soviet forces fighting on the mainland, and well-trained and well-equipped elite troops. In addition, the Germans also brought a large number of Allied troops, especially the Finnish Wehrmacht, which once gave the famous Soviet general Timoshenko a headache.

Fromhilov really did not think that he had long been exhausted by the offensive orders, and had not received enough troops to resist.

The first action he chose now was to urgently mobilize millions of Leningrad residents to build three lines of defense around Leningrad day and night, the outermost of which was centered on the city of Luga, starting from Simsk on the west bank of Lake Ilmen in the south, along the Luga River, and reaching the mouth of the Luga River in the north, Jinjishep, with a total length of about 300 kilometers, and deployed four infantry divisions and three militia divisions on this defense line.

Considering the offensive capability and equipment level of the Finnish army in the northern direction, which was relatively weak compared to the German army rushing head-on, Voroshilov transferred 6 divisions and 1 brigade from the Northern Front, which had previously confronted the Finnish army, to strengthen the defense of the German army on the Luga River line.

After doing this, Vroshilov made another phone call to the commander of one of the main divisions garrisoned by Daugavpils, asking the other side to hold the West Dvina River on the opposite side anyway.

Because as soon as the Germans captured the city of Daugavpils, the Pskov-Leningrad line would be completely exposed to the Germans because of the loss of its natural barrier. In that case, the next big war will be fought under the city of Leningrad.

Of course, Vroshilov did not expect Daugavpils to hold it at all. He only hoped that his reminders and orders would allow an infantry division stationed there to hold out for a while longer and buy more time for the deployment of Leningrad.

That's not enough!

"Send a telegram to Comrade Stalin and tell him that my point of view is that I hope, if possible, that the war with Germany will be stopped. Our hasty attack on Germany did not seem to be a good decision. After a pause of a few seconds, Vloshilov finally continued to speak to his staff officer and finished the second half of his sentence: "I'll just say it, I'm not sure about the defensive battle of Leningrad." On the contrary, I would rather our diplomats end the war at the negotiating table than the war. ”

"Comrade Commander......" After hearing Vroshilov's words, the staff officer was subconsciously stunned, then swallowed his saliva, and reminded in a low voice: "If you send such a telegram to Moscow and accuse the high command of making the wrong decision to attack, you will not be able to go to a military tribunal......

"It doesn't matter." After listening to the kind reminder of the staff officer, Vroshilov just smiled wryly and waved his hand: "Instead of waiting for the Germans to come and occupy Leningrad and take me to their prisoner of war camp for interrogation, it is better to let me go to a military court at home." ”

As the commander-in-chief of the Soviet army in the northern direction, Floshilov even has no hope of victory, and it is estimated that not many people in the Soviet army can continue to be optimistic about this battle.

Instead of waiting in despair for the arrival of the Germans, it is better to tell the truth and report to Moscow about the state of affairs at the front. There was even a glimmer of hope, and no one in the front command would want to continue the fight with Germany and the Allied forces.
