Now, it is too difficult to win this war with the capabilities of the Soviet Union alone.

Fortunately, there are still people in the United States who understand that they have given up their ideological differences and are fully supporting the Soviet Union in its fighting, after all, if the Soviet Union is defeated by Germany, then the United States will never be able to exist on this continent alone.

Because of the common enemy, the United States supported the Soviet Union, and all kinds of weapons and equipment, logistics supplies, were being transported to the Soviet Union through the routes within the Arctic Circle in Alaska, and the Americans were absolutely sending charcoal in the snow.

Now, in order to avoid being bombed by the Germans in the Baku oil fields, the Soviet Union needs a lot of oil equipment, drilling equipment, and petrochemical industry, which, of course, also depends on the support of the United States.

Stalin nodded: "Contact the American side immediately, I hope they will transport it to us as soon as possible!" ”

"Comrade Stalin, Comrade Lyudmila has already arrived in the Kremlin and is waiting for you outside." At this moment, Stalin's guard captain came in and spoke to him.

Lyudmila is coming? Stalin immediately showed an excited expression: "Let her in, let us meet this sniper hero who defended Odessa and beat the enemy!" ”

This is the capital of the Red Empire, and Lyudmila is also visiting the Kremlin for the first time, walking through the wide corridors, she feels the solemnity of the place, which has witnessed hundreds of years of history.

When she was led into a conference room by an official, Lyudmila did not expect that she would meet the great leader, Comrade Stalin, all at once!

Comrade Stalin, holding a smoking pot and a thick beard skimmed to the sides, was smoking while contemplating the map, and immediately smiled at the sight of Lyudmila.

"Comrade Lyudmila, you are the pride of our Soviets, and your deeds have been widely circulated, encouraging our fighters to fight bravely." Stalin said: "Now, in view of your performance, the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet has decided to award you the title of Hero of the Soviet Union." Now, it is awarded to you by Comrade Kalinin. ”

Mikhail Ivanovich Kalinin, Soviet politician, revolutionary, early state leader. From the time of the October Revolution until his death, he was the nominal head of state of Soviet Russia and the Soviet Union.

Now Kalinin, old and gray, but still in good spirits, held up the medal of the Golden Star and solemnly hung it on Lyudmila's chest, an order made of almost pure gold, with a small number on it, framed in silver.

Lyudmila straightened her chest and let Kalinin hang it on her chest, at this time, she was extremely proud, she knew what it meant to be a hero of the Soviet Union.

The title of "Hero of the Soviet Union" was established in 1934. At that time, seven Soviet pilots, led by Vodopiyanov, risked their lives and flew again and again to successfully rescue the Arctic expedition and the icebreaker "Cheryyusky".

Subsequently, the Central Executive Committee of the USSR adopted a decision to award the title of "Hero of the Soviet Union" to individuals and collectives who have performed heroic feats against the country.

Those who can receive this honor are those who have made great contributions to the motherland and risked their lives.

At that time, there was only a certificate, but later it turned out that in order to prove that he was a Hero of the Soviet Union, he had to carry a certificate, which was too troublesome and not eye-catching. So, on August 1, 1939, the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR decided to establish the "Golden Star Medal", which was awarded to the "Hero of the Soviet Union" for heroic feats of the country.

This gold star medal is hung on the top of all medals, so that as long as you wear the gold star medal, you can see at a glance that it is the Hero of the Soviet Union who has come.

"Now Germany is invading our country, and we need thousands of heroes like Comrade Lyudmila." Stalin took the certificate and solemnly put it in Lyudmila's hand: "We are proud of you. ”

"Comrade Stalin, I ask to return to the troops, continue to fight at the front, I want to kill more enemies." Lyudmila said.

Her fighting enthusiasm is high, and she wants to keep fighting!

Stalin looked at her with satisfaction: "Comrade Lyudmila, there are some things that are more important than fighting on the front, and now the party and the state will hand over more difficult tasks to you." ”

"Guaranteed to get the job done." Lyudmila said.

"Your task is to recuperate from your injuries, and when you recover from your injuries, you will go to the United States."

Going to the United States? Lyudmila was stunned, what kind of difficult task is this?

"You have to go to various places in the United States to make reports, and let the whole United States and the whole world know about the deeds of our War of Resistance Against Japan." Stalin said.

Stalin was just a whim. Just now, the question of asking the United States for equipment was still being discussed, and now, Stalin had an idea.

It is necessary to give the United States confidence that the Soviets can win this war, and the United States will support it more effectively, how can we convince the Americans? Of course, I have seen specific examples, and Lyudmila in front of me is a living example.

She wants to tell about the brutality of the enemy, about her heroic battles, how can an ordinary warrior have such a high fighting spirit, how can such a country perish?

She was sent to the United States to give a lecture, and when she returned, she worked as an instructor at the sniper school formed in Moscow, and continued to let her use her spare heat, in short, she could not be allowed to go to war again.

The Soviets had no capital to withstand the blow, and heroes like Lyudmila should not wither on the battlefield.

"Yes." Lyudmila agreed, but the expression on her face betrayed her, she wanted to go to the battlefield, and she didn't want to go to the rear to do anything to report.

Lyudmila went out, and Stalin's face continued to change to a serious expression, and in front of Lyudmila he showed confidence, and now he knew how dangerous the situation was for his side.

Continuing the topic just now, he was still arranging: "We also have to carry out the exploration of new oil fields, preferably in our central or eastern regions, and our industries should also step up the transfer to the central region." ”

The situation in Smolensk is still very critical, and the main industries of the Soviets are located in the west, and now it is necessary to transfer the industry, and if the industry is gone, then the Soviet Union will not have to fight.

"Comrade Stalin, the latest battle report, Smolensk is about to be surrounded by the Germans." At this moment, an adjutant hurriedly came in with the report he had just received and said.

As before, the Germans stretched out two arms, striking from both sides of Smolensk, and as soon as they closed, the encirclement was formed!
