On the Ukrainian front, the newly formed Southern Front Command of the Russian Army, commander Marshal Budyonny and political commissar Colonel-General Zaporozhyets are discussing the next military operation. The order from Moscow was urgent, and they were required to attack as soon as possible.

However, Marshal Budyonny was not a reckless man. In particular, the Ukrainian army took the initiative to abandon Rostov-on-Don, which made him feel a great threat. In addition, although the Southern Front Army has three group armies and one independent infantry corps, the total strength is more than 600,000. But the 12th Army is still on its way south, and it can't be counted on for the time being.

Before, most of the generals in Russia did not take Ukraine seriously, and they thought that the combat effectiveness of the Ukrainian army was terrible, and it was not a matter of concern at all. But in the previous battle, the Ukrainian army arrived in Rostov-on-Don in two days and captured it in only two days, which undoubtedly makes people have to face up to their combat effectiveness. Even so, it was only the second-line troops of the Russian Army that were defeated by the Ukrainian army. However, this is also something to be wary of. It was from this that Marshal Budyonny deduced that the combat effectiveness of the Ukrainians was different from what it used to be.

"Comrade Marshal, Comrade Joseph, has demanded that we must attack within a week. Now, it's been three days, when are we going to wait? Admiral Zaporozhyets asked with some dissatisfaction.

As a political worker single-handedly raised by Joseph, Zaporozhets can be described as loyal to Joseph. In fact, the political workers in these troops were the tools of Joseph's control of the troops. They may not have military talent, or they may not succeed enough to fail. But their faithfulness was exactly what Joseph needed. It is precisely because of this that Joseph values them very much. In many cases, in the army, the status of political workers is higher than that of military commanders of the same rank. It is even possible to arrest these military commanders.

However, Marshal Budyonny is one of the several giants of the Russian Army, with high ranks and seniority, so Zaporozhets does not dare to be too presumptuous.

"Wait a minute, the 12th Army is already on its way." Marshal Budyonny said. With only two armies and an independent infantry corps, he really didn't have much confidence to defeat the Ukrainians.

The 1st Army of Ukraine is undoubtedly elite, and it is not inferior to the field troops of the Russian army, even if the other armies of Ukraine are not as strong as the 1st Army, but with the advantage of troops, I am afraid they will be able to defeat them. Therefore, Marshal Budyonny hoped to wait a little longer, and wait for the subsequent arrival of the 12th Army, and then the certainty would be greater. Of course, if he could, he would have waited a little longer, and when the mobilization of the Russian army was completed, more follow-up troops would arrive on the battlefield. In this case, he is more sure. However, Marshal Budyonny knew that Joseph had never been a patient man, and if his patience had been worn out and he had not achieved the results he wanted, the consequences would be more serious.

"Comrade Marshal, if the 12th Army is to arrive, I'm afraid it will take several days, and then it will be too late. Comrade Joseph blamed it, how can we bear it! Admiral Zaporozhye looked worried.

"I know what to do!" Marshal Budyonny said.

Seeing this, although Admiral Zaporozhyets secretly hated in his heart, he did not say anything more. Anyway, he had already been persuaded, and if Marshal Budyonny didn't listen, it would be none of his business. As soon as Joseph gave the order to arrest Budyonny, he would carry it out immediately.

Joseph was indeed a suspicious, short-tempered, impatient man. After he gave the order to form the Southern Front, he hoped that Budyonny would be able to lead the army into Ukraine as soon as possible, and beat the Ukrainians, so that Budyonny would be ashamed. However, Budyonny did not move, which naturally did not satisfy him.

For the first two days, Joseph was able to endure it. But then, he couldn't help it. Constant telegrams began to be sent to the headquarters of the Southern Front, urging Marshal Budyonny to lead his army to attack.

Marshal Budyonny, at the beginning, remained unmoved under the pressure of Joseph. However, the most unacceptable thing for Joseph was that others ignored his orders, especially Marshal Budyonny, a general in command of the army, which made him deeply jealous from the bottom of his heart. So, soon Joseph was about to lose his patience, and even had the idea of removing Marshal Budyonny.

Under such circumstances, Marshal Voroshilov sent a telegram to Marshal Budyonny, telling him not to go any further and to carry out the order quickly. Otherwise, I'm afraid it will be difficult to protect itself.

Marshal Voroshilov was promoted to marshal in the same year as Marshal Budyonny, and he had a good personal relationship, so he reminded Marshal Budyonny.

Marshal Budyonny sighed and had to do as he was told.

On the morning of September 12, 1939, the Russian army crossed the border and launched an offensive on the territory of Ukraine.

The Kingdom of Ukraine seems to have been prepared for the attack of the Russian army in Burkina for a long time, and they did not deploy many troops on the border, so that the Russian army could drive straight in.

Thanks to the German spy network in Brazzaville, they were able to obtain a lot of military intelligence on Brazzaville. Although the NKVD in Brazzaville and Russia has repeatedly encircled and suppressed German spy networks in Brazzaville and Russia, it has also arrested many German spies. However, Germany's spy network has always been working and working efficiently.

In the face of this attack by the Russian Army, the Kingdom of Ukraine adopted a pocket tactic, intending to put the Russian army in first, and then gather superior forces for a siege. In this case, they are undoubtedly more likely to win.

At the same time as the Russian army entered the territory of Ukraine, the Ukrainian army began to assemble at the same time. A large number of troops rushed to the front by train and car, ready to participate in this battle.

Joseph, who was far away in Moscow, smiled when he learned that the Russian army had invaded Ukraine and drove straight in, as if he had seen the scene of the heroic Russian army conquering Kyiv and arresting all the bureaucrats of the Kingdom of Ukraine for trial.

"Ukraine will return to the big family of Burussia. In the future war, the winner will definitely be ours! Joseph looked confident.

Similarly, Qin Tian, the German Emperor of Berlin, also had a smile on his face.

"With so much effort, the Russians have finally invaded Ukraine. Well, the excuse to declare war, we finally have it! "Qin Tian has finally found a reason to declare war as he wished.
