Khrushchev controlled the top of the army, he could control the entire army, and in the current situation, make the threat of Stalingrad clear, if you don't surrender, everyone will turn into barbecue together, then it will be easy to surrender.

In the army, as long as no one takes the lead in making trouble, the soldiers below are all under the orders of their superiors.

It was also an important way for the army to rebel, with the army commander taking the lead.

Soldiers take obedience to orders as their duty, so when the army rebels, the main thing is that the superior takes the lead, and when the order of the superior is issued, the subordinate soldiers must obey.

Even if they didn't know that they were rebelling, they went with a great sense of mission and honor, but when their hands were stained with the blood of their own people, they could never turn back, and they could only go all the way to the dark.

Now Khrushchev was going to surrender with the army, and as long as the senior commanders of the army did not jump out to oppose it, the resistance below would be much less.

Unfortunately, Khrushchev did not know that he still made a serious mistake.

He forgot that in Stalingrad, there was another important place, the Stalingrad Tractor Plant.

The Stalingrad Tractor Plant, also known as the Dzerzhinsky Tractor Plant, was named in honor of Felix Edmundovich Dzerzhinsky, the predecessor of the former Soviet "KGB".

It is a tractor factory established in the thirties, and all the production equipment is made in the United States, and about 80 American companies are involved in the manufacturing. The finished equipment was dismantled and shipped back home, where it was assembled by Americans and Germans.

Therefore, the technology here is also very advanced, and the timing was just right, in the thirties, it was the time of economic crisis in the West, as long as there were orders, even those of the Soviets, American businessmen were happy to do it.

Immediately after the Stalingrad Tractor Plant was put into operation, it became the largest tractor factory in the Soviet Union at that time, producing more than half of the country's tractors every year.

The tractors of this era are all tracked, and the manufacturing technology of tractors and tanks is almost interconnected.

Therefore, it is logical to use a tractor factory to make tanks, just as it is to use a pesticide plant to produce chemical weapons.

When the war began, the Stalingrad Tractor Plant, rapidly transformed, began to produce tanks, and at the same time, the main force they produced was the T-34 tank, a tank with a simple structure, which was once finalized as the main equipment of the Red Army, and required a large output.

In the historical Battle of Stalingrad, the tractor factory was also famous, and the workers continued to maintain production in the factory under the condition of German air raids and artillery bombardment at any time, and even after the Germans approached, the workers drove tanks directly from the production line, went to the battlefield, and bombarded the German troops with their own artillery.

It can be said that the workers of the Stalingrad Tractor Plant, who could both produce and fight, insisted on production and fighting when almost all the factories were blown up, composing a fighting movement.

The current Stalingrad Tractor Plant has the same fighting zeal.

In the factory, they sweated profusely and continued to produce tanks for the army, although due to the lack of fuel, some of the tanks stayed in the parking lot of the factory after coming off the production line, unable to start, and they were still working overtime.

The problem of fuel, it will be solved, it really can't be done, push the tank into the street, as a stationary battery.

All this is inseparable from the efforts of the director of the tractor plant, Mikhailov-Ivanov.

When the Stalingrad Tractor Plant was established, Mikhailov came here and became the director of the plant, where he was in charge of production and contributed to the Soviets, but when the terrible storm came, Mikhailov was also implicated and arrested.

It was not until the beginning of the war that Mikhailov finally returned to the tractor factory and was again responsible for production there.

Although he was implicated in the Great Purge, in Mikhailov's heart, he still loved his homeland, was full of anger at the invasion of the Germans, and the great Soviet would not be crushed by the Germans!

He slept only a few hours a day, constantly organized production in the factory, and when the workers were idle, he also organized shooting training for the workers, always ready to give their lives to the Soviets.

The Great Purge was wrong, it was all the internal affair of the Soviets, but the invasion of the Germans, the enemy of the entire Soviet, was Mikhailov's point of view.

Although he could not go to the battlefield with a gun, the weapons produced in his factories were constantly supplied to the front, and now, when the Turks came, he was even more motivated.

But today, he suddenly lost his vitality.

It can even be said that the whole of Stalingrad has lost its vitality.

"Today, with a heavy heart, I would like to brief you on the situation of the war." A dull voice came from the loudspeaker of the radio in the streets: "I am Political Commissar Nikitsu Khrushchev, who was ordered by Comrade Stalin to take charge of the defense of Stalingrad. ”

"The Germans have broken the bottom line of the war, they have begun to use weapons of extermination on a large scale, wherever there is resistance, they will be bombed to the ground, just like Petersburg, the Germans are trying to wipe all the cities of our Soviets off the face of the earth."

"There is no point in continuing to fight, we don't have planes, we don't have enough anti-aircraft artillery, and when the German bombers arrive, that's when the whole of Stalingrad disappears."

"So, we have no hope of continuing to fight, our Ural industrial zone is gone, our Moscow is gone, and the next goal of the Germans is us, in order to be able to keep the innocent hundreds of thousands of people in the city alive, in order to let the Russian nation survive with other peoples, I and the army commanders of the entire Stalingrad defense zone have decided that we will lay down our arms and save hundreds of thousands of lives, this is a bitter fruit, but we have no choice."

"If it is an ordinary soldier, it can be said that he sacrifices his life without any complaints, but so many civilians, including the elderly, women, and children, let them disappear with them, this is not bravery, this is recklessness, and it is a crime. Even if I stand on the pillar of shame in history, I have to make such a choice. ”

"Smack!" Mikhailov's hand slapped heavily on the table: "Traitor, traitor, how did the Soviets come up with such a traitor!" Bondarenko, assemble the workers' self-defense forces for me at once! ”
