"Comrade Joseph, we plan to draw the 44th, 45th, 46th, 47th, 51st armies to form the Caucasian Front. The Caucasian Front carried out the task of advancing on the Persian Gulf! "Shaposhnikov submitted a plan for the formation of the Caucasian Front the very next day.

Joseph nodded: "Five armies, it should be enough to defeat the Turks and then capture the Persian Gulf!" ”

Although, these five group armies of the Russian army are all newly formed group armies with limited combat effectiveness. However, Joseph still believes that the combat effectiveness of these Russian troops is far superior to that of the Turkish army. In addition, the strength of the Turkish army is not much. According to the information obtained by Burussia, the Turkish army has only a few hundred thousand people. After deducting the defense of other areas, how many troops can be invested in resisting the Russian attack, how much can be left? The Russian army has gathered five army groups, which is enough to solve everything.

"Comrade Joseph, the candidate for the commander, chief of government affairs and staff of the Caucasian Front has not yet been decided." General Shaposhnikov said.

Joseph had apparently been prepared for this: "Comrade Kozlov is the commander, Comrade Shamanin is the commissar, and Comrade Torbukhin is the chief of staff. ”

"Yes, Comrade Joseph." General Shaposhnikov nodded, leaving no objection to this.

"Well, Comrade Shaposhnikov, if nothing else, let's stop here today! Next, I have another Politburo meeting to go. Joseph said.

Shaposhnikov was a little reluctant to speak, but then saluted and left.

Joseph knew what Shaposhnikov was trying to say, he yesterday appointed Voroshilov as the commander of the future Western Front, then, it seems that Voroshilov's posts as a member of the Politburo and People's Commissar of Defense should be removed. And Shaposhnikov, apparently, is interesting about this. However, Joseph also had his own considerations.

Voroshilov was loyal to him and was now even more willing to serve as commander of the Western Front to clean up the mess. Such a person, of course, Joseph has to be reused. Therefore, Joseph was not ready to let Voroshilov resign from the post of member of the Politburo. On the contrary, the post of People's Commissar of Defense can be handed over to Shaposhnikov, and in this case, it will also be an explanation for him.

Later, Joseph went to the conference room to attend the meeting of the Politburo of Buenos and Russia. When he entered the conference room, the other Politburo members had already arrived.

Everyone was talking about it, and there was even more sadness on their faces. Of course, the news from the front line cannot be concealed from these Politburo members. Now that the Russian army has suffered heavy losses on the frontline battlefield, it has made them not very optimistic about the prospects of war.

However, when they saw Joseph come in, everyone shut up and stood up to salute Joseph.

"Comrades, please take a seat!" Joseph looked calm, as if he was not at all worried about the situation at the front.

The members of the Politburo have all done their part.

"Comrades, I know that everyone is very concerned about the situation at the front. I can tell you very clearly that the current situation of the war is indeed not very favorable for us, and the troops have suffered heavy casualties. The surprise attack launched by the Germans caught us off guard. Joseph said.

The faces of those Politburo members suddenly became even more unsightly.

"Comrade Joseph, will we be able to defeat the Germans? Or will we really be able to withstand the German attack this time? Andreyev asked.

"Rest assured, Comrade Andreyev, we have found a way to deal with the Germans. In another month, winter will come. When the time comes, the bitter cold will make the Germans have to stop the offensive. And we, on the other hand, can take advantage of this rare time to start mobilizing troops, training them, and even launching counterattacks. Although the Germans were strong, the harsh weather conditions would have reduced their combat effectiveness to a minimum. When the time comes, we can defeat them in one fell swoop! Joseph said confidently.

"If that's the case, it couldn't be better. At that time, Napoleon led a large army to attack Russia, but was defeated by the cold Russian winter. Now, the Germans will definitely repeat the mistakes of the past! Victory must be ours! Khrushchev immediately said.

Other members of the Politburo have also expressed their positions. Now Joseph, in the Russian Party, has a supreme position. Others wanted to challenge Joseph, but it was simply impossible. The biggest opponents have been cleared out by him. The rest are just a swarm of echo insects. Unless, the Russian army really suffered an unprecedented crushing defeat in the war, or Russia is facing the crisis of extinction, otherwise, Joseph's position will not be shaken.

"Gentlemen, now we are in great difficulty. But I believe. We will definitely win in the future. So, you must have faith. Joseph said.

Everyone else echoed this, as if the Russian army could really defeat the Germans on the battlefield.

"Another issue today is the military assistance that the Americans promised to provide us. However, now it seems that at that time we seriously underestimated the combat effectiveness of the Germans. Now we have lost more than a million troops on the battlefield. Next, there will be more losses. So, we need more support from the Americans! Joseph said.

"Comrade Joseph, will the Americans accede to our request?" Molotov asked.

"If we are defeated by the Germans, or even if the Burussia is destroyed by the Americans, there will be no benefit for the Americans. I am sure that the Americans will make the right choice. Joseph said.

"Comrade Molotov, I would like you, as our special envoy, to go to the United States and talk to the Americans about this issue well. More of our military assistance is not just the tanks, trucks, artillery and guns used by the Army, but also advanced warplanes. Our Air Force is currently equipped with fighters that are no match for the Germans at all. Joseph said.

"Yes, Comrade Joseph, I see!" Molotov nodded.

In order to arrive in the United States as soon as possible, the Russian Foreign Ministry of Buenos and Russia even contacted the United States, asking them to send B-17 bombers to Moscow to pick up Molotov to the United States. After all, Burussia's own bombers or transport planes are simply not able to fly long distances.

The US Government readily agreed to Bu's request. At present, the United States still needs Burussia to take the lead and consume Germany's strength.
