Chapter 637: Heavy Thunderstorm One
The Bolshevik Party of the Soviet Union, the first of the Central Committee of Belarus, Panteleimon. Kondratievich. Ponomarenko walked into the building of the headquarters of the Western Military District, and when he saw the commander of the Western Front, General Pavlov, who came down from the upper floor to greet him, he said half-jokingly: "Comrade commander, do you see that I still look like a revolutionary soldier in a military uniform?" ”
"Look at what you're talking about, you're an old Red Army from 1918. "Pavlov stepped forward, snapped upright, and then respectfully saluted.www.biquge.info
In the Soviet Union, the party led everything, and the army should naturally obey the leadership of the party, and the political commissar representing the Bolshevik party naturally held great power. Moreover, in mid-May, Ponomarenko, who was appointed as a member of the Military Council of the Western Military District at a time when Stalin was determined to implement the plan for a heavy thunderstorm, was not an ordinary "political commissar of the military ranks," but he was the first member of the Belarusian Party and a member of the Central Committee of the Bolshevik Party. Moreover, he was not yet 40 years old - at such an age as the head of an important union republic, it was evident that Stalin held him in high esteem.
Ponomarenko raised his hand slightly, returned a military salute, and then took out an identical Stalin's carved pipe, lit the pipe wire with the help of a secretary, took a puff, and said with a smile: "I didn't be a Red Army soldier for a few days, I was too young at that time, not yet 16 years old, and I still had a baby face, and I looked like a child." ”
You're a cute baby-looking face now. Pavlov asked Ponomarenko to go upstairs with a smile on his face, but he thought to himself: Stalin must have liked this well-behaved baby face very much, otherwise how would he have made him a military commissar (political commissar) of the Western Military District? Khrushchev in Ukraine next door was a member of the Political Bureau, and he didn't become a military commissar of the South-Western Military District, but he turned out to be a division-level political commissar of Rykov -- the Western Military District is much more important than the Southwestern Military District, and it is the main force in the thunderstorm plan, and now it has 20 group armies with a total of 188 divisions! If the Western Military District can really plant the red flag in Berlin and Paris, Ponomarenko can enter the political Z bureau with his eyes closed!
Considering that he is less than 40 years old, he will most likely be Stalin's successor in the future, the great leader of the peoples of the world!
At the thought of being able to become a close comrade-in-arms with the great leader of the people of the world, Pavlov suddenly felt that his body was full of energy.
At this moment, Pavlov and Ponomarenko had already walked side by side into a large conference room on the second floor of the headquarters. In the conference room, there were all the commanders of various group armies under the Western Military District, as well as several chief officers of the Western Military District, Major General Limowsk, Chief of Staff of the Western Military District, Major General Grigeyev, Chief of Communications of the Western Military District, Major General Grigoev, Commander of the Artillery of the Western Military District, and Major General Kobets, Commander of the Air Force of the Western Military District. Seeing the great leader of the people of the future world and the close comrades-in-arms of the great leader walking in, all of them stood up and saluted.
Pavlov and Ponomarenko returned the salute with a spring breeze on their faces, and then the two sat down side by side on two chairs in the center of a long conference table.
"Comrades," Pavlov said, "the military commissar Comrade Ponomarenko has something important to announce. ”
Then I saw Ponomarenko take a document from the secretary behind him, unfold it and read it: "In accordance with the decision of the meeting of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee of the Bolshevik Party of the USSR, the People's Commissariat of Defense of the USSR ordered the Western Military District to be reorganized into the Western Front with immediate effect. Comrade Pavlov as commander of the Front, Comrade Ponomarenko as Military Commissar of the Front, Comrade Limowskik as Chief of Staff of the Front......"
Ponomarenko's announcement was nothing more than an order to reorganize the military district into a front, but no one in the room would think that this was just a change of sign...... According to the practice of the Soviet Red Army, when there is no war, the front army is the military district, and when there is a war, the military district is the front.
Now that the Western Military District has been changed to a front army, then it will most likely mean that there is going to be a war!
Ponomarenko closed the document in his hand, glanced at the soldiers in the conference room with a gentle gaze, and then said in an emotional tone: "Comrades, I would like to tell you a message of great importance for all mankind, for the world revolution, and for us Bolsheviks -- the Bolshevik Party and Government Bureau and the Executive Committee of the Third International, after careful study a few days ago, believe that the climax of the world revolution has arrived, and that the imperialist countries have suffered heavy losses in three years of cannibalism, The war-weariness of the people of all countries is high, and they are eagerly looking forward to the arrival of a new era of GCISM. Therefore, the Bolshevik Party and Government Z Bureau and the Third International have respectively adopted resolutions that they will launch a world revolution in the near future, first of all to destroy German imperialism that provoked the world war, and to liberate the peoples of Europe enslaved by German imperialism! ”
Speaking of this, Ponomarenko suddenly stood up, raised his arms and shouted: "Long live the world revolution!" Long live the liberation of all mankind! Long live GCISM! ”
Is this going to be a world revolution? Is this going to liberate all of humanity?
Although all of you here are big shots, and you know that the relationship between the Soviet Union and Germany is becoming more and more tense, no one expected that there will really be a fight, and besides, can the Soviet Union beat Germany?
Just when the big guys were a little hesitant, Pavlov had already taken the lead in chanting the slogan: "Long live the world revolution!" Long live the liberation of all mankind! Long live GCISM! ”
……
"Leader, Imperial Marshal, are we really going to war with the USSR?" In the official residence of the royal city of Berlin, the number one revolutionary object of the world revolution, the Emperor of the German Empire, the monarch of a large number of kingdoms and principalities, the first citizen of Europe, the chief senator of the European Community, Wilhelm III, sat on his throne and asked Hitler and Hersmann very uneasily.
"Yes, my majesty." Adolph. Hitler replied in as calm a tone as possible, so as not to frighten His Majesty the Emperor, who was not in good health.
"My Majesty," said Hersmann, "is the only way to unify Europe, just as the Franco-Prussian War meant to the unification of Germany." ”
"But the war with the USSR reminded me of the last world war." "At that time we were also at war with Great Britain, the United States, and Russia," said William III. ”
"My Majesty," said Hersmann, "was then our enemies of France, Italy, and Japan. Moreover, the empire was still trapped in Central and Eastern Europe, and the high seas fleet could not reach the oceans at all. And now, our German Empire has led Europe, the Imperial Army has landed in Ireland, and the Imperial Navy has dominated the Atlantic. Therefore, in a war with the Soviet Union, our German Empire will be victorious and undefeated, and Your Majesty will surely go down in history as a result of this war and become the great emperor of all Europe. ”
The situation now looks really scary, but it's just scary to look at.
The British Empire was already dying, and their offensive in Ireland had been thwarted. The German ground forces did not have to attack at all, and the air force and naval aviation could completely strangle Britain by holding the airfields in Dublin and Cork Bay with elastic defense.
Although the United States is alive and well, the vitality of the US Navy will not be restored at all in a year. By that time, Britain will almost kneel, and without Britain as a springboard, how many troops can the United States put into Europe?
Therefore, the Soviet Union now seems to be united with Britain and the United States, but in fact it is fighting alone. It is a dream to rely on hundreds of divisions to bulldoze Germany, and the only hope is to use the war on the Eastern Front to save Britain until the United States has the ability to deploy large troops in Britain itself, so that it can really fight the situation of east-west flanking Germany.
Only then will Germany be truly strategically passive.
"The Great? Me? William III smiled bitterly, unlike his father, who has always been strong and arrogant, William III's personality is relatively weak, his health is poor, he was a playboy when he was young, and he has little power when he becomes emperor. If you can be an emperor like this, you will probably be the weakest emperor ever.
"Well," William III was silent for a moment, then finally nodded, "I will pray for the Empire and all of Europe, that God will grant us a strong and unified alliance to help us defeat all powerful enemies who seek to destroy our good life and our homeland." ”
Hersman bowed slightly, thanked the Emperor for his cooperation, and then added: "Your Majesty, we think it is also necessary for you to appeal to all of Europe, asking every European to do all they can, to defend our civilization and the eternal prosperity and strength of our continent, and to ensure that our children and grandchildren can bask in the sun of peace and tranquility, and not live in the shadow of the Soviet Empire and the American Empire. ”
The war with the Soviet Union and the United States, as worrisome as it was, was at the same time an opportunity to unite Europe, and only when the majority of Europeans were stressed and frightened would the idea of huddling together for warmth - if they did not unite, all of them would become slaves of the Bolsheviks and the United States!
As soon as Hersmann and Hitler walked out of the hall of the palace hall, they saw Stauffenberg and Hitler's adjutant Martin. Bowman walked briskly.
"Reich Field Marshal, Admiral Stockhausen has just called," Stauffenberg reported first, "and the Western, Southwestern and Northern Military Districts of the USSR have all been reorganized into the Front!" ”
"Leader, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has just received a request for an appointment from the Soviet Ambassador, who wishes to meet with Minister Ribbentrop in two hours and submit important diplomatic documents."
Hersmann and Hitler looked at each other, and they both knew what it meant? What the Soviet ambassador wants to deliver must be an ultimatum! The war between the Soviet Union and Germany will probably break out within 24 hours! (To be continued.) )
