"Comrades, the current situation shows that victory in the Great Patriotic War depends on the gains and losses of the Caucasian fortresses, and not on the city of Moscow. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoBecause Moscow is just an isolated city of little value, while the Caucasus has 70% of the Soviet Union's oil production capacity, and it is also close to the Middle East, the epicenter of imperialist oil production. If the operation of the Caucasian GCIST bastion can be successful, from there we will be able to send the spark of national liberation and the GCIST revolution throughout the Middle East. The oppressed peoples of the Middle East will rise up against imperialist colonial rule. And the imperialist oil supply will also be depleted in a very short time......"

The importance of the Caucasian GCIST fortress in Chelyabinsk (the station of the Z Bureau of the Soviet Bolshevik Party) was gushing about what Caucasian GCIST fortress was Khrushchev, who had just returned from India.

He is now a popular candidate to succeed the cause of GCISM, as the situation of the Indian revolution is relatively good. Due to the weakness of the National Congress Party led by Gandhi and Nehru, the banner of the national revolution of the Indian revolution also fell into the hands of the Indian Bolshevik Party, and the revolutionary upsurge came.

The Indian Front, commanded by Timoshenko and Khrushchev, swept through northwest India in the first months of '44. In mid-April, Lahore, the capital of Punjab province, just over 400 kilometres from Delhi, was liberated from Lahore, the political center of India after Delhi, where the Mughals had their capital in 1525-1707. The liberation of the city seemed to mean that the Indian Revolution was reaching its climax.

However, Khrushchev's purpose in coming to Chelyabinsk from Lahore was not to report on the good situation of the Indian revolution, but to discuss with his comrades the grim situation of the Soviet-German war.

The members of the Politburo (Stalin was absent) were stunned to hear that Khrushchev was the first to speak at the beginning of the meeting, and that he was also touting the fortress of GCISM - the content of the Politburo meeting was usually predetermined, and there were very few "surprise attacks". However, Stalin's members of the Political Bureau turned their brains very quickly, and immediately understood what Khrushchev meant.

"Comrade Khrushchev is right," Molotov, who presided over the meeting in place of Stalin, immediately echoed Khrushchev, "the Caucasian GCIST bastion is indeed more important than Moscow, and without it, our cause will face failure." As long as the Caucasus was held, the Germans would not have been able to draw enough forces to attack the Volga-Urals in 1944. This is of great significance both for us to evacuate the Volga-Ural industrial zone and for a fundamental transformation in the Pacific theater. ”

His gaze swept around the conference room, and the expressions of surprise and surprise had disappeared from the faces of the members in attendance, replaced by expressionless faces.

"I propose," Molotov considered his words, "that the Political Bureau adopt a resolution on the re-establishment of the Revolutionary Military Council and that Comrade Stalin be invited to concurrently serve as Chairman of the Revolutionary Military Council." In addition, in view of the fact that the current war has turned into a civil war, the All-Russian Extraordinary Committee for the Purge*** and Sabotage should also be reinstated......"

The Revolutionary Military Council was the supreme command of the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army, established in the last civil war in Soviet Russia, and Trotsky was the chairman of the Revolutionary Military Council. However, the chairman of the revolutionary military committee of Soviet Russia was not quite the same as the chairman of the military commission of a certain country in the East. During Trotsky's tenure as Chairman of the Revolutionary Military Council, he seldom stayed in Moscow, but traveled to and from major battlefields to command. In fact, the Chairman of the Revolutionary Military Council in Soviet Russia was similar to the Commander-in-Chief or General Political Commissar of the Red Army.

Now Molotov's proposal to re-establish the Revolutionary Military Council is of double significance, first of all, the Revolutionary Military Council is the commanding organ leading the civil war in Soviet Russia, and now the Soviet-German war is transforming into a civil war in Soviet Russia, so it is naturally necessary to rebuild the Revolutionary Military Council.

Secondly, the chairman of the Revolutionary Military Council should go to the most important and decisive battlefield to supervise the war...... This was the practice left by Trotsky. And Stalin, once he became chairman of the Revolutionary Military Council, would have been able to leave Moscow for the Caucasian fortress, following the practice of his arch-rival (and already dead adversary) Trotsky.

This is actually a relief for Stalin!

In addition, during the Russian Revolution and the Revolutionary Military Committee, there was also the All-Russian Extraordinary Committee for the Purge, referred to as the Cheka!

Now that the Revolutionary Military Council has been restored, then the Cheka, which has boundless power, will naturally also be restored - compared to the NKVD, the Cheka of those days has even more boundless power.

And the Cheka organization, of course, is also to be controlled by Stalin's henchman Beria or some other person that Stalin completely trusted!

With two powerful institutions, the Revolutionary Military Council and the All-Russian Purge and the Extraordinary Committee for Sabotage, Stalin's control over the Red Army and the remaining territory of the Soviet Union became relatively secure.

Then it became possible to ask him to leave Moscow.

Although the departure of Stalin from Moscow would have made every member of the Political Bureau feel like a fool, for the sake of the future of the cause of GCISM, all those present at today's meeting immediately expressed their support for the resolution to restore the Revolutionary Military Council and to make Stalin its chairman.

On the night that the resolution was passed by the Political Bureau, Khrushchev ventured aboard a Canadian-made Mosquito night transport aircraft (in fact, a modified night bomber) to Moscow, which was heavily surrounded by European coalition forces.

Immediately after getting off the plane, Khrushchev transferred to the mysterious "Moscow Metro Line 2" and arrived at Stalin's underground command post in Moscow.

At this time, there were almost no civilians in Moscow, and the lessons of Leningrad's starvation had been learned. The civilian population of Moscow was completely evacuated before April 44, and most of them went to Central Asia - the "Gulag" built a huge labor camp in Kazakhstan, with many ready-made facilities and farms that could be used to house Muscovites......

And the fighters who remained in Moscow to persist in the struggle were also hidden underground in normal times. There are a large number of underground defense projects in the city, and there are also underground bunkers on the perimeter of the city, which can provide the safest accommodation for the defenders of Moscow.

Therefore, Moscow in late May 1944, if viewed from a low altitude, is almost an empty city with no people. But in the underground of Moscow, there are 1.2 million heavily armed GCIST fighters!

However, Stalin, with the fortified city of Moscow and 1.2 million soldiers, did not feel safe at all. Because the army defending Moscow is now 800,000 fewer than originally planned - according to the original plan, the defenders of Moscow will be as many as 2 million! In addition, in the Vladimir, Ryazan, and Yaroslavl regions on the outskirts of Moscow Oblast, there will be more than 1 million mobile units responsible for cooperating.

However, by the end of the Battle of Moscow, Stalin had only 1.2 million men left at his side, and less than 700,000 troops in Kalinin were trapped in despair. In the Vladimir, Ryazan, Yaroslavl and other regions on the outskirts of Moscow Oblast, there were only less than 500,000 remnants of the defeated army under the command of the Reserve Front, and it was impossible to pose any threat to the German army (coalition army) encircling Moscow and the city of Kalinin.

What is even more desperate is that most of the heavy anti-tank weapons such as JS-2 tanks, T-34/85 tanks, and A-19 cannons, which were supposed to be used to defend Moscow, were lost in the battle on the outskirts of Moscow.

Without them, the Soviets could hardly come up with weapons that could threaten the frontal armor of the E-50A tank and the Cheetah tank destroyer. Even the Tiger H, with its "shrunken" armor, was now enough to run amok in front of the Soviet army's strongest anti-tank defensive positions.

So Stalin knew very well at the moment that Moscow's defenses were far from being as strong as originally planned. As long as the enemy is determined enough and ready to pay hundreds of thousands of lives, he will be able to take Moscow and his own lives.

But now is not the time for Stalin to leave.

While smoking a cigarette and listening to the resolution of the Political Bureau conveyed by Khrushchev without saying a word, Stalin was silent for a long time before he nodded and said: "As a member of the Bolshevik Party, of course I obey the decision of the Political Bureau and serve as the chairman of the Revolutionary Military Council. ”

Khrushchev's originally twisted brows immediately loosened, and he smiled with satisfaction: "This is great, now the Soviet Union will be saved." So when can you go to the Caucasus? Before I came to Moscow, I heard that a huge armored group of the German army had entered the Rostov region, apparently marching towards the Caucasus. ”

Currently moving towards the Rostov region is the 2nd Panzer Army, which is part of the German Army Group South. The Panzer Army's target was the North Caucasus (north of the Caucasus Mountains), and the offensive routes were Donetsk-Rostov-Stavropol and Krasnodar. If you count the distance from Donetsk, it is about 450 kilometers, and the steppes are all along the way, which is an excellent battlefield for the use of tank and armored forces.

According to the German plan, the 2nd Panzer Army, which had just received 4 Panzer Divisions from Army Group Center (1 Panzer Division and 3 Panzergrenadier Divisions and 4 Motorized Rifle Divisions), would first clear the steppes of the North Caucasus before the 20th Mountain Army and the 1st Parachute Army entered the Caucasus mountains. At the same time, the Middle East Corps under the command of General Rommel would also send troops north to the border between Iran and Soviet Azerbaijan in preparation for an invasion from the south.

Stalin took a puff of his cigarette and nodded his head slightly: "Comrade Khrushchev, I will go to the Caucasus at the right time, but before that, I need to stabilize the situation in Moscow." To turn the city into a graveyard for the German army and the White Russian reactionaries! ”
