While the wolf's den was excitedly discussing the consequences of the bombing, distant Moscow was immersed in an atmosphere of grief and indignation.

Petersburg, bombed to the ground.

The casualty figures have not yet been counted, but the residents of the city must be more than lucky, and the buildings are gone, can people still be alive?

The cradle of the October Revolution was gone, and after it became flat, it had no defensive value, and the German tanks could be moved up at any time, and there was no way to hold it.

Stalin did not speak, nor did he light a cigarette pot, only his hands trembled, showing how shaken his heart was at this time.

The Germans, this is a demonstration of their might to blow up Petersburg today, Kyiv tomorrow, and Moscow the day after tomorrow!

"Our workers in St. Petersburg have been transferred, but some industrial equipment has not been able to be transferred, and now it is being transferred to the Urals, and it is expected that it will take two or three months to resume production." Beria said.

In addition to its political significance, Petersburg also has industrial value, it is the heavy industrial base of the Soviet Union, and many weapons are produced from Petersburg, and without Petersburg, the industrial production of the Soviet Union will decline, and what they urgently need now is weapons.

"The main reason for our defeat this time was that we did not expect the Germans to suddenly launch a V-2 missile attack and destroy our air base, and almost all of our MiG-3 fighters were destroyed on the ground." Vasilevsky said.

As deputy chief of the General Staff and head of the Operations Department, Vasilevsky attended a high-level meeting of the base camp for the first time, and he had to analyze the defeat of the Petersburg air defense operation.

"If our MiG-3 fighters can be successfully lifted into the air for combat, it will be completely able to interfere with the bombing operations of the Germans, who have dispatched 200 bombers, which is exactly the same number as ours, and as long as we can interfere with their flights, we will be able to make them unable to bomb our Petersburg." "It's just that we ignored the V-2 missiles of the Germans, their attacks were terrible," Vasilevsky said. ”

The defeat of Petersburg this time cannot be blamed on the command problems of the own side, but only on the fact that the Germans' weapons were too advanced, and moreover, they cannot be blamed, because the supreme commander of the Petersburg side, Marshal Voroshinov, personally came to the air base to command, but was hit by the German V-2 missile and died a heroic martyr on the spot.

Marshal Voroshinov was a good marshal of the Soviets, and his sacrifice plunged the entire Soviet Union into grief, and in such a situation, he should not bear the responsibility for the defeat of the command.

"In view of this situation, I suggest that the fighter units of our air force should be dispersed and deployed in multiple airfields in the future, especially temporary field airfields, so as to minimize the concentration of large aircraft groups, so as to avoid being bombed by the Germans." Vasilevsky continued: "At the same time, this battle also proved that our MiG-3 fighters are a great threat to German bombers, and we will accelerate the production of such bombers in the future to protect our airspace." ”

Before the bombing, the Germans killed the MiG-3, which shows that the MiG-3 is the biggest threat to the Germans, and this is an aircraft that the Soviet Union has concentrated all its efforts to build, and it is fully capable of blocking the Junkers-290 bombers of the Germans.

"It's a pity that our MiG-3 is all consumed." Ivanovich Mikoyan said on the sidelines: "The production of the new MiG-3 is not fast, especially if it is dispersed, the defect of the insufficient range of the MiG-3 will be more obvious. ”

The MiG-3 was designed by his younger brother, and he was proud of it, and at the same time, he was more or less aware of the shortcomings of this kind of aircraft, in order to take care of the high-altitude advantage, almost all other performance was abandoned, and the lack of range was the most serious, if it was dispersed, it would be farther away from the place to be protected, and after flying, it would have to return after a few laps.

Due to geographical relations, the industries of the Soviet Union were all distributed in the west, and now, the western part of the Soviet Union is suffering from the baptism of war, and their industrial production capacity will be greatly reduced.

Stalin's brain, which had been temporarily diverted from the defeat in Petersburg, knew that the war was ostensibly fought against the army, but in fact it was indeed fought against the industrial base, the war potential, and now the Soviet Union was very dangerous.

Throughout the meeting, Khrushchev sat in a corner, never daring to speak again, and every time he made an opinion, it turned out to be stupid.

This time, the Germans completely flattened Petersburg because of the bombing of Berlin proposed by Khrushchev, which, although inspiring, destroyed Petersburg.

Now, Khrushchev's mind is only to retaliate against the Germans with poison gas, but he did not dare to say that the Soviet Union has poison gas, and Germany also has poison gas, and if he proposes this method, then even if they meet in the Kremlin in the future, they will all have to wear gas masks.

This was definitely a bad idea, but he could not mention it again, and he shrunk his body for fear that Stalin would ask him any more questions.

At this moment, Molotov was seen hurriedly walking in: "Comrade Stalin, US President Roosevelt, sent his special envoy Harry Hopkins. ”

Hopkins, one of Roosevelt's main aides, was the founder of Roosevelt's New Deal with others, saving the United States from economic problems, and co-founding and leading the Public Utilities Agency.

As U.S. Secretary of the Treasury, Hopkins was an active supporter of Roosevelt's advocacy in the struggle against American isolationism.

So, later, the isolationists in the United States took aim at Hopkins, who took all kinds of hatred for the president.

At the beginning of the war, Hopkins resigned as Secretary of Commerce and seemed to become a free man, when in reality, he was running around for Roosevelt, and was even considered the number two man in the White House, the shadow president of the United States.

At present, the United States is in a dangerous situation of fighting on two fronts, on the one hand, it has to wage war with the island countries and compete for dominance in the Pacific, and on the other hand, it has to deal with the aggressive offensive posture of the Germans in the Atlantic, and the United States is in a very dangerous position.

And when Germany invaded the Soviet Union, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and the Soviet Union gave the United States a respite, and the United States also had to help the Soviet Union deplete the war potential of the Germans.

Now that the USSR has been defeated on the battlefield, it is time for the United States to secretly appear on the scene!
