Smolensk is only 300 kilometers from Moscow. Once the Germans have eliminated the remnants of the Russian Western Front and captured Smolensk, then, with the speed of German advance, it may take less than a month to reach the city of Moscow.

The capital of the most Russian country, and also their heart, Moscow is of irreplaceable importance in the Russian country. If Moscow falls, it will be an unpredictable blow to Russia.

Of course, even if Moscow falls, Burussia will definitely not give up. They would have continued to move eastward, and then continued to resist the German offensive. However, if it really gets to that point, the situation will become even more difficult for the Burnon-Russian side. If they wanted to defeat the Germans, it would undoubtedly be even more difficult. Everybody doesn't want the situation to get to that point.

"Not only the Germans' Army Group B, but also their Army Group C was coming towards Moscow. Even if their Army Group A captures Ulyanovgrad, it will inevitably attack Moscow in the south. When the time comes, we will be besieged by the Germans on three fronts! Marshal Voroshilov said.

Suddenly, the faces of everyone in the office changed drastically. In the past week's fighting, they have come to know the strength of the German army. If Moscow is really besieged by the Germans on three fronts, it is almost impossible to hold Moscow.

"We have to avoid this as much as possible!" Joseph said.

"Yes, Comrade Joseph." The generals all replied. However, Joseph could clearly sense their lack of confidence in their tones. Indeed, in this battle, the performance of the German experience has made these generals afraid of the German army.

"Comrade Joseph, we need to hold on to the Western, Southwestern and Northwestern Fronts. It will be delayed for at least another month or more. In that case, the German offensive would have to be stopped. We'll have plenty of time to train our troops and even launch a counterattack. Marshal Shaposhnikov said.

Joseph nodded, he knew this, so he was not completely discouraged.

The other generals are also bright. Indeed, the surprise attack of the German army this time caught them off guard and suffered heavy losses. However, the Russian army did not break its bones because of this, they still have enough strength.

Winter in Russia is not only cold, but also lasts for a long time. Even people from other countries who are also European countries may not be able to hold on. When Napoleon the Great led his army to attack Russia, wasn't it because of this? This eventually led to the collapse of the French Empire.

Now, Germany is attacking Russia, and the situation is undoubtedly very similar to the French Empire's attack on Russia. Perhaps, they could also use these advantages and defeat the Germans.

Winter in Russia lasts for several months. This will be a rare respite for Russia, which suffered a crushing defeat in the war. They can use this time to train the mobilized army and rebuild the defensive line. And even under the cover of heavy snow, a counterattack was launched against the Germans.

"Our second mobilization is almost complete. This will not only make up for the loss of our troops on the battlefield, but also allow us to increase the number of our troops. After a winter of training and accumulating strength, we will have enough strength to fight the Germans next spring! Marshal Voroshilov said.

"Comrade Joseph, we can also use this time to ask the Americans for help. The military assistance promised to us by the Americans can only be transported by the Trans-Siberian Railway, which is limited by its capacity and will take a long time to arrive. We have to ask the Americans to open up other routes. In addition, the German army showed such a strong fighting force in this war that we were under great pressure. So, the Americans can be asked to enter the war in advance. Marshal Voroshilov continued.

Joseph nodded again and again, these are all ways for Buo to redeem his disadvantage.

"I will let the People's Commissar for Foreign Affairs go to the United States as a special envoy. The Germans were strong, and the Americans could no longer stand idly by. Otherwise, once we are defeated, it will not do them any good. Joseph said.

"Comrade Joseph, we are on the western defensive line and need to start clearing the wilderness. The population and all kinds of supplies must be evacuated to the east as much as possible. In that case, even if the Germans occupied those territories, they would not be able to use them. This will be a kind of containment for the Germans. In addition, we also need to develop a wide range of guerrilla forces, so that they can attack the Germans behind enemy lines and contain the Germans as much as possible. Shaposhnikov also suggested.

The development of guerrilla units, which is undoubtedly what Burussia is good at. Even, before the success of the revolution, Joseph himself led the guerrillas in the guerrilla war in the mountains of Georgia. In this regard, he is very experienced.

"Well, let more party members stay in the enemy theater in the west, organize guerrillas, and fight the arrogance of the Germans!" Joseph said.

"Yes, Comrade Joseph."

"Comrade Joseph, the Germans have been preparing for this battle for many years. For this reason, they even cooperated with us to build a large number of railways and roads in the west. This will undoubtedly allow them to use the railways and roads to advance quickly. However, with the exception of the western region, the railways and highways in other regions are not so perfect. And the troops of the Germans, there were a large number of tanks and armored vehicles, as well as trucks. Bad traffic will slow down their progress. We can even take the initiative to disrupt traffic. In this case, it will be even more difficult for the Germans to fight to Moscow! ”

Other generals also offered their advice. Originally, the atmosphere was very dull, and everyone thought that this time, Burussia and Russia had a great chance of losing the war. However, when everyone lists the advantages that Burussia has one by one, everyone finds that Bu and Russia still have great advantages. If all went well, they might not have been able to defeat the Germans.

"Comrades, the Germans are strong, and we have a very big disadvantage in this war. But again, we have a lot of advantages. As long as we can make the most of these advantages, we may not be able to defeat the Germans! Joseph said confidently.
