Chapter 1113: Stubbornness

The reason why Marshal Voroshilov and General Shaposhnikov were able to come to this day in Burussia and sit in such a high position is inseparable from the fact that they hugged Joseph's thighs tightly. At the same time, it is inseparable from their personal talents. Joseph was not a fool, how could he really let a man who did nothing serve as the People's Commissar of Defense and Chief of the General Staff?

Unless Joseph really didn't want to win the war.

From the perspective of Marshal Voroshilov and General Shaposhnikov, it can naturally be seen that the current war is very unfavorable to Burussia. Despite the fact that the war had just begun, they were already suppressed. And, as the losses grow, so do their disadvantages. It won't be long before the front line collapses.

"We have to find a way to keep the troops as alive as possible. Otherwise, once the losses are too great, it will not be conducive to the next war! Marshal Voroshilov said.

General Shaposhnikov nodded: "Our advantage lies in the vast land area and huge army. It is really not a good idea to fight hard with the Germans in the west. The Germans began to calculate us twenty years ago, building a large number of roads and railways on the Western Front. Relying on those networks, the Germans could advance quickly in the west, and it would be difficult for us to resist their attacks. If we continue to hold on to this area, our losses will only grow. ”

"Yes, it would be better for us to retreat to the east and rely on the big cities to hold back the Germans. In this way, the logistical supply lines of the Germans could be further extended. For us, the disadvantage will be much smaller. Marshal Voroshilov said.

"However, Comrade Joseph may not agree to the retreat of the army. If you retreat, you will be giving up a large area of territory on your own initiative. General Shaposhnikov said.

As Joseph's confidants, they undoubtedly know Joseph very well, and know that he values the territory, and it is absolutely impossible for them to agree to give up so much territory for nothing.

"Anyway, we're going to have to give it a try. In that case, it will be possible to retain the vitality of the army and to continue the war. Otherwise, we will soon be defeated by the Germans. "Marshal Voroshilov was firm.

Marshal Shaposhnikov thought for a moment, then nodded: "At least, the Southern Front must be withdrawn." If it's too late, I'm afraid it will be too late. Once the Southern Front is lost, the entire Southern Front will collapse. ”

"Okay, then we'll go see Comrade Joseph right away." Voroshilov said.

Voroshilov and Shaposhnikov rushed to the Kremlin to report to Joseph on the current situation at the front. When he heard that several of his troops had been suppressed and suffered heavy losses, Joseph's face was already gloomy as if he could drip water. Although, the Germans were strong in the military, he knew it very well. However, he never imagined that the army of Burussia would be so vulnerable in front of the Germans.

"That is, we will not be able to withstand the German attack?" Joseph asked with a dark face.

"Yes, Comrade Joseph. At least for now. The Germans were too well prepared, and together with their previous calculations against us, allowed them to take advantage of the justified transportation network. Our advantage has been further weakened to the extreme. Marshal Voroshilov said.

"The Germans, indeed, are too cunning. No one would have thought that the Germans began to calculate us more than twenty years ago! Joseph's face became even more ugly.

At the beginning, the success of the revolution in Burussia was indispensable to the support of Germany. Although, at that time, he thought that the reason why the Germans helped them was a great conspiracy. However, after the overthrow of Tsarist Russia, Germany won on the Eastern Front. Joseph thought at one time that the German conspiracy would end there. But now it seems that he thought everything too simply.

After this thought came out, Joseph couldn't help but feel cold, and his confidence was even shaken a little. However, he then strengthened his faith again. Because, now there is no way back for Burussia. The war has begun, and the Germans will never stop until they destroy the Russians. Therefore, if we want to continue to exist in Bros, we must do everything we can to defeat the Germans.

"No matter how cunning the Germans may be, we must defeat them! Otherwise, our country will perish and our people will be enslaved by the Germans! I believe that as long as all the Burussians can unite, the final victory will definitely be ours! Joseph said.

Voroshilov and Shaposhnikov nodded, they also knew very well that there was no way to retreat from the current Burussia. Either defeat Germany, one of the urban world powers, or be destroyed by Germany,

"Comrade Joseph, we hope to be able to order the troops, abandon the front-line positions and retreat to the hinterland. In this way, it will be possible to preserve the main forces of our troops. At the same time, the shift of the battle line to the east would also allow the Germans to further lengthen their logistical supply lines. It will also buy us more time to train the newly mobilized army and improve their combat effectiveness! This will play a big role in defeating the Germans. General Shaposhnikov said.

Joseph's brow furrowed, and it was undoubtedly unacceptable for him to let them voluntarily give up the territories in the west. You know, that's a large territory, and it's almost the best part of Burussia. After losing those territories, the strength of the Buese will once again be greatly reduced.

In addition, from the point of view of the bones, Joseph is also the kind of great power chauvinist. He didn't want to lose every inch of his land.

"Shaposhnikov, the enemy is indeed strong, but if we run away like this, then how can we defeat the Germans? Now, we have to show a stronger fighting spirit, so that every soldier is brave enough to fight the Germans and attack them. In this way, we will have a greater certainty of winning the next war. Joseph said.

Both Voroshilov and Shaposhnikov sighed, they knew that Joseph's stubborn old mistake had returned. Now he may not be able to listen to the advice. If the troops on the Western Front do not retreat, this will undoubtedly further increase the losses of the Russian army. This will be very detrimental to the subsequent war. Unfortunately, there is no other way to do it.
