Chapter 1183: Disaster Descends from Heaven
Shaposhnikov was convinced that if he dared to say a word about Joseph's plan, then an extremely tragic end awaited him. Joseph, who was suspicious by nature, would surely have wondered if Shaposhnikov's loyalty to him had wavered. As long as there is such a beginning, it is natural to imagine what kind of consequences Shaposhnikov will have next.
As soon as these results flashed through his mind, Shaposhnikov made his choice.
"Comrade Joseph, this is indeed a very good opportunity. We Russians, who live in such ice and snow all year round, are absolutely not able to resist the cold compared to the Germans and their servant army. In such cold weather, they could only hide in the barracks and shiver, and it was impossible for them to fight. Our soldiers, on the other hand, are completely different. The Germans would not have expected us to launch such an attack at this time, and when the time comes, they will definitely be able to take them by surprise. Therefore, I completely agree with you! Shaposhnikov immediately said with a clear conscience.
Although, he knows what such consequences will be. However, in order to retain his power, Shaposhnikov already did not care at all.
After listening to this, Joseph nodded again and again, and even more because after listening to Shaposhnikov's words, he was even more determined about his decision. He felt more and more that this was a very rare opportunity, and it would be a pity to miss it.
"Someone, go and bring Comrade Voroshilov. This counterattack, if it is placed on the Western Front, it is the best thing! Joseph said. The Western Front is currently the largest army group of the Russian army, with a huge army of more than three million people. Joseph believed that if the Western Front could win this winter offensive, it might be able to change the situation in one fell swoop.
The secretary immediately called the command of the Western Front. Although the Western Front was formed, Marshal Voroshilov did not immediately go to the front because of the cessation of the fighting, but remained in Moscow.
Shaposhnikov knew that at this point, it was useless to talk about anything else. Joseph was clearly in a state of madness, and he had to follow his wishes. Even if it is a big price to pay for this, it will not hesitate. At the very least, that would keep him in power. However, Shaposhnikov is also worried that if the losses of the Bu and Russia are too great again in this counterattack, this may make it more difficult for the Russian army to resist the German attack in next year's war.
Of course, judging by the situation at hand, it is clear that Joseph's needs must be met first. As for the rest, that's entirely okay for later.
Marshal Voroshilov, having received a call from Joseph's office, immediately rushed to the Kremlin. He didn't know what was going on, he was confused. In fact, after he became commander of the Western Front, although he also served as a member of the Politburo, the post of NKVD had been handed over to Shaposhnikov, which made Joseph summon him less and less often. This even made Voroshilov think for a while that he was no longer trusted by Joseph.
"Comrade Joseph, what do you command?" Marshal Voroshilov was in front of Joseph with a very low posture.
"Comrade Voroshilov, how is the current integration of the Western Front?" Joseph asked.
"Comrade Joseph, the integration of the Western Front is underway. The divisions incorporated into the Western Front were massing to the theater of operations west of Moscow. However, there are too many troops involved, so it will take some time. Marshal Voroshilov replied. He couldn't help muttering in his heart, could it be that Joseph thought that the integration of the Western Front was too slow. He had already made up his mind that after returning this time, he would have to speed up the integration of the Western Front.
Joseph nodded: "Comrade Voroshilov, the integration of the Western Front really needs to be accelerated. Now, however, there is a more important task that needs to be completed by the Western Front. ”
"Comrade Joseph, I assure you that the Western Front will definitely be able to complete the tasks you have assigned!" Marshal Voroshilov patted his chest without saying a word and assured.
"Very well, Comrade Voroshilov, it would be great if you have such confidence. I decided, taking advantage of the weather now in our favor, to launch a massive counterattack against the Germans. I hope that in this counterattack, the living forces of the Germans will be consumed on a large scale and ready for next year's battle! Joseph said.
Marshal Voroshilov was dumbfounded, he did not expect such an order from Joseph at all. What weather is good for Burussia? How can it be beneficial? Although it is true that Russians are a little more frost-resistant than people from other countries. However, that should be under the same conditions of cold and warmth. The current situation is that the German army has sufficient warm clothing and supplies, while the Russian army lacks these materials. Many Russian soldiers can even shiver in the barracks in thin uniforms. There have even been cases of large-scale frostbite and frostbite freezing to death. If an attack is launched under such circumstances, it is not known how many Russian soldiers will freeze to death. When the time comes, let alone fight the Germans, most of your troops will freeze to death if you don't do it.
Marshal Voroshilov looked at Shaposhnikov, thinking that it was his idea.
Shaposhnikov gave an innocent look.
Marshal Voroshilov immediately knew that this was an unwarranted disaster. It must have been Joseph's sudden idea to be forced. It's just that now it's his turn to be unlucky.
Originally, Marshal Voroshilov was somewhat reluctant to serve as the commander of the Western Front. Although the Western Front has more than 3 million troops, it is the most powerful front army in the Russian army. Serving as the commander of this front army is an absolute high position. However, he feared that if he was defeated by the Germans, he would surely die.
Unexpectedly, Joseph actually wanted him to lead his troops to take the initiative to attack, didn't this push him into the fire pit? If the counterattack fails, Joseph, the man who came up with the plan, will certainly have nothing to do. No one will put the blame on him. Then, a scapegoat will definitely be found. Marshal Voroshilov, naturally, did not want to be a scapegoat himself. It's just that disaster falls from the sky, and you can't hide it!
