Moscow fell, and on the ruins of the current Kremlin, the German flag was hung.

Khrushchev, who was stationed in Moscow, as well as Konev and Rokossovsky on the periphery, have all withdrawn from the stage of history with the fall of Moscow.

The current Soviet Union does not have the famous troika, Zhukov is alone in Ukraine to support independently, and Vatutin is not much smarter than Konev and others who died in battle.

The Soviet Union, which had withered in talent, could only barely hold on, and Stalin remained uncompromising in the face of Germany's aggressiveness.

In fact, now that Stalin compromised or not, Germany was not willing to end the war easily, because Germany could not accept the fact that the Soviet Union continued to exist.

In order to hold the Far Eastern Railway in his own hands, in order to be able to exert his influence in Asia, the Führer preferred to defeat the Soviet Union and hold all the Soviet legacy in his hands.

Paris in France is now part of the Third Reich, a small half of London in England is now part of the Third Reich, and Moscow in the USSR is now part of the Third Reich.

The Germans have announced that they have captured Moscow, the capital city of the Soviet Union. The photographs published in the newspapers were of German generals in the city of Moscow.

Guderian had lunch in the ruined Moscow and headed south with his troops. Marshal Loeb was now in Moscow, commanding his Army Group North for a rest holiday.

Field Marshal Rundstedt also took photographs in Moscow to commemorate his own, after all, the city is now in ruins thanks to his troops.

The photographs of these men show the ruins of Moscow, with black smoke burning and then rising everywhere. It is no longer a thriving city, but a shattered ruin.

All the photographs are frequently appearing in the newspapers these days, and the major German newspapers are carrying reports of the German occupation of Moscow.

The people rejoiced, and the soldiers on vacation appeared in the streets and alleys, which also gave people hope for the end of the war.

Although the forces heading south had been weakened, the support of the National Socialist Party in Germany was steadily rising.

The popular base, which had been slightly loosened before, has quickly stabilized. Giving 400,000 troops a holiday is not only a disadvantage, but also a benefit.

When the front-line soldiers return home, they can intuitively share the victory on the battlefield, and they can also pass on a lot of front-line news, so that the people at home can rest assured.

Families with children on the front line can know that their children are actually doing well on the front line through their children's holidays, and they can also be more assured that they can return to the front line to continue fighting for the country.

And among all the various photographs published in the newspapers, the most famous one is a German Leopard tank parked on the streets of Moscow.

In this photo, a German tank commander is standing next to the hull of his Leopard tank, bending down to hand candy to a young Soviet boy.

The little Soviet boy standing next to the tank looked dazed, and he and his good friends raised their heads to look at the German commander in front of them, as if they wanted to raise their hands to pick up candy.

In any case, there is no PS technique, one of the three major evil arts, in this era, so the photos are still relatively realistic evidence.

On this side, the Germans were advertising their occupation of Moscow, while the Soviets were selectively blind and did not say anything about Moscow.

"Moscow has fallen, which means that it is likely that more German troops are starting to move south......" Zhukov's first reaction after receiving the news was that he was under more pressure.

"Will the Germans move south on a large scale? If you count the troops, they can gather more than 500,000 troops! Vatutin also feels that the Kursk region is not easy to defend.

But he also knew that as soon as Kursk was abandoned, then Kharkov would become the front line.

The German army is pressing the border, and Ukraine has no danger to defend but to give up - seeing that the wheat is about to ripen, is it all left to the Germans and Ukrainians?

Obviously, this choice was impossible, they could only grit their teeth and resist the German attack, okay, the wheat was harvested and taken away.

"Why don't we burn all the wheat?" The chief of staff gritted his teeth and made an even more vicious proposal.

Massively burn the ripening wheat fields, and then leave the mess to the Germans to deal with, and they retreat to the Caucasus.

"Burn it? So what do we eat? Zhukov shook his head and rejected the suggestion - it was easy to burn, but then the Soviet troops themselves had no food to eat.

The food consumed by a million-strong army is not a small amount, and Ukraine, as a granary, also shoulders the heavy responsibility of feeding so many soldiers.

If all the grain is burned, although it can create problems for the Germans, the Soviet Union itself will first fall into passivity because of the failure of the grain harvest.

The grain-producing areas of Belarus are now enemy-occupied areas, and if another grain-producing region, Ukraine, is lost, the millions of troops that have been recruited with great difficulty will fall into the embarrassing situation of having no food to eat.

The Germans, on the contrary, had little influence, because their granaries were in Poland, in France, and in Holland in Belgium...... Inside Germany, not at all in Ukraine.

Even if Ukraine can't harvest a grain of grain, the Germans have a way to feed their own army - as for the civilian population in Ukraine, whether they live or die has no effect on the German army at all.

In case, the Germans found some way to feed these Ukrainian civilians, then the matter would be even worse: Ukraine, which has a deep hatred, may become a base for the German crusade!

"It's definitely not a good idea to burn it, grab it and then retreat, at least we have enough food to survive the winter." Vatutin also shook his head and rejected the chief of staff's proposal.

Although in the end Ukraine will definitely become the help of the German army, the last time to grab Ukraine will be beneficial to the Soviet Union.

"But now, defending Kursk, we are seriously understaffed." The chief of staff also put forward his own idea.

What he said is also true, after all, in the face of more and more German troops moving south, the forces they deployed in Kursk are already stretched.

"The matter you are talking about can only be solved by mobilizing the infantry." Vatutin knew how many troops Zhukov had in his hands, so he did not mention any exaggerated plans.

Finding a way to send more infantry to the Kursk region and turning the entire region into a defensive position is the best way to stall for time.
