The Germans' retaliation came violently.

The bombing of the German capital was to boost the morale of their own side, and according to Stalin's idea, the Germans would definitely turn around and attack Moscow, and the German bombers would wreak havoc over Moscow.

It doesn't matter, war is like this, the bombing of the Germans will arouse the blood of the Soviet people, so that the Soviet people will continue to hate the same enemy and fight the Germans to the death.

At the same time, Moscow was also ready for air defense, and if the German bombers were coming, let them taste the might.

It's just that no one would have imagined that the Germans, instead of taking revenge on Moscow, made a deathly statement to Petersburg.

All the inhabitants of Petersburg must be evacuated within a day, and tomorrow at noon the Germans will bomb Petersburg, turning the whole of Petersburg into ruins.

As for the reason, of course, it was because the bombers of the Soviets took off from Petersburg to bomb Berlin.

The entire Kremlin conference room was silent, and the grandfather clock walked in Gada, which made people's hearts feel more fearful.

"The Germans are intimidating us, and we will never give in to the Germans." Stalin spoke, his gaze coldly at everyone.

Khrushchev did not dare to look into Stalin's eyes, he already regretted proposing to bomb Berlin.

All the Germans needed was an excuse to bomb Berlin without causing much damage to it, but the Germans got the excuse that they were going to turn the whole of Petersburg into ruins.

The Germans are not just talking about it, it is definitely not intimidation, the Germans are coming for real, everyone present will not forget Exeter, at that time under the German bombing, the whole Exeter was in ruins, and after being bombed, the troops hiding there died very miserably, and there was no way to live.

The Germans could do it, and now Stalin said this, but he intended to put the lives of hundreds of thousands of inhabitants of the whole of Petersburg on the line.

Even, Khrushchev could think of Stalin's intentions, if those people died under the bombardment of the Germans, then this blood feud would deeply stimulate every Soviet, and the Germans would not spare any Soviet people, and they would have to fight to the end to avenge the hundreds of thousands of people who died in Petersburg.

The fact that the Germans actually attacked civilians is a war crime committed by the Germans, and it will inevitably be judged by history.

Stalin was cold-blooded, he killed so many people in the Great Purge of the country without blinking an eye, and now he did not hesitate to sacrifice the citizens of Petersburg to gain political advantages.

And what about those people? Was it just sacrificed? That's hundreds of thousands!

Khrushchev did not dare to disobey Stalin, and in the entire Soviet leadership, only Zhukov could argue with Stalin, but now Zhukov is not in Moscow, Zhukov is simply the captain of the fire, after giving Stalin the idea of abandoning Minsk and preserving Moscow's plan, Zhukov went to Kiev again, and the situation in Ukraine is also very difficult.

Therefore, after Stalin said his plan, no one present objected, and of course, no one agreed.

They just kept silent.

"The German bombers fly at a very high altitude, even more than 13,000 meters, but our latest MiG fighter is already able to reach this altitude, right?" Stalin said: "All our aviation regiments equipped with MiG-3 fighters should be transferred to Petersburg, and the German bombers must be intercepted." ”

Stalin, of course, did not go to make sacrifices for the hundreds of thousands of inhabitants of Petersburg, Petersburg was so significant, it was the cradle of the October Revolution, how could the Germans be able to ravage it?

Last year, when a military parade was held in Moscow, inviting German Führer Chirek Chirek, the Germans taught the Soviet Union a lesson that their planes could fly to an altitude of more than 13,000 meters.

This incident deeply stimulated the Soviets, and the MiG-1, which was originally a high-altitude fighter, was further developed and improved into the latest MiG-3 fighter.

Due to the relationship of the elder brother of the designer Mikoyan in the upper echelons of the Soviets, coupled with his own excellent aircraft design capabilities, the performance of this MiG-3 aircraft has been greatly improved.

Historically, the MiG-3 only had a ceiling of 13,000, and now, it has been strengthened to 14,000 by Mikoyan, and at the same time, the problem of short legs of this aircraft is even more serious, and after refueling, the range is less than 500 kilometers.

It can be said that the designer's focus is to give priority to the ceiling, if you can't fly so high, then you can't intercept the enemy's bomber, in order not to disappoint the troops, the designer made every effort to create such a special high-altitude fighter.

This is the highest priority project, and by now, more than fifteen hundred MiG-3s have been produced, but in the early days of the war, a large number of Soviet aircraft were destroyed on the ground, including these advanced MiG-3 high-altitude fighters.

Until now, the Soviet Air Force had only about three hundred MiG-3s in its hands, which were mainly stationed near Moscow and, so to speak, to defend the capital from enemy bombers.

Now, Stalin did his best for the sake of Petersburg: "Mobilize all our MiG-3s to Petersburg, and as soon as the Germans come to bomb, take off and intercept them." ”

The Germans did what they said, and besides, the Germans were quite punctual, saying that they would come tomorrow at noon to bomb, and it would not be too late.

"Will the Germans be clamoring to bomb Petersburg, and then a large number of planes will fly to our Moscow?" Budyonny asked Stalin.

The bombs of the Germans were terrible, and if they were to be dropped on Moscow, it would be said that everyone in Moscow would suffer, and the big men of them were no exception, and at such times, of course, Budyonny was the first to think about his own safety.

"What are you afraid of, if the Germans want to bomb Petersburg, they can go through the Baltic Sea, if they want to bomb our Moscow, at least there are hundreds of kilometers along the way, from Belarus to Moscow, we will intercept them along the way." Under Stalin's refutation, Budyonny's old face turned red, indeed, he was afraid.

The entire Soviets were decided by Stalin, and under Stalin's decision, the citizens of Petersburg should not be transferred for the time being, but the factories, technicians, and university students in the city of Petersburg could be transferred today.

Petersburg is a city built on water, full of rivers, and it can even be said that Petersburg is an island connected by bridges.

Petersburg is spread over 44 islands, connected by more than 580 bridges, and it is convenient to transport them by water, which makes it possible to evacuate these important ones in advance.

At the same time, this is also the reason why Germany did not fight for more than 800 days, and the objective conditions are limited.

Now the great leader of the Soviets, Comrade Stalin, in Moscow, made a major event that decided the fate of the entire city.

Hundreds of thousands of inhabitants of Petersburg will be laid to rest on this land because of Comrade Stalin's decision.

Having received Stalin's order, the aviation regiments near Moscow began to move towards the north.

When it was dark, Captain Alexander Ivanovich Pokryshkin, piloting his own MiG-3 fighter, landed at the airbase next to Petersburg.
