Chapter 243: The Fall of the Soviet Union (Part II)
German Propaganda Minister Goebbels, under Wei Qidong's suggestion and Hitler's orders, hyped up Stalin's negative news, such as the fact that he purged a large number of outstanding Soviet generals and progressives in order to consolidate his rule. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
In the past, Stalin's prestige was very high, and it was better to say that it was in peacetime, or no one dared to oppose him before the occupation of Moscow, but in just a few months, the Soviet Union suffered so much that even the capital was lost, and even those who believed in Stalin before were shaken in the face of such a result.
Goebbels also sought out the families of the victims of the Great Purge from various parts of the occupation zone, and tried to get them to come forward to tell their tragic stories, and further prove Stalin's mistakes through facts.
The Germans continued to add fuel to the fire, finding someone from nowhere, who was considered to be the most of the Romanov bloodline and the former royal family of the Romanov dynasty most qualified to inherit Soviet power. The Germans then propped him up to power and established a puppet regime against Stalin.
It can be said that although Stalin fled to Yekaterinburg, the situation of internal and external troubles not only did not ease, but further intensified, which made Stalin, who was suspicious by nature, even more suspicious that someone around him was going to be unfavorable to him.
Eventually, Stalin personally created the anti-Sri Lankan movement of the Soviets, and the Japanese set a fire to it, releasing most of them after occupying some of the labor camps in Siberia.
It's not that the Japanese are kind, but they know that after these people are released, they will definitely be the main force of the inverted movement. The more chaotic the Soviet Union was, the more beneficial it was to the Japanese, anyway, the Soviet Union was huge, the Germans had an advantage in the west, and the Japanese feasted in the Far East and did not interfere with each other.
Under this series of blows, the already dilapidated Soviet Union became more and more chaotic, even far from Moscow, Stalin's rule has become more and more unstable, and in less than a month, there have been five or six assassinations against him.
After consolidating its rule over the occupied territories, the Germans quickly organized millions of troops and began to storm the hinterland of the Soviet Union, led by armored and mechanized troops, aiming at Yekaterinburg.
One of the purposes of the German army's intensified attack on Yekaterinburg was naturally to quickly destroy the Soviet regime, but the other purpose was unknown to a few people, and even the most important purpose was the oil fields.
After Wei Qidong's prompting, on the west side of Yekaterinburg, there was the second largest oil field of the Soviet Union: the Volga-Ural oil field; On the east side of Yekaterinburg, there is the Tyumen oil field, the third largest oil field in the USSR. Of course, these two oil fields have not yet been officially exploited, so the outside world does not know at all, and only Wei Qidong, a future person, knows.
When Hitler heard that the reserves of these two oil fields were second only to the Baku oil fields, he was really excited.
Therefore, Hitler almost impatiently gave the order to attack, and he gave the order to overthrow the Soviet regime, but the actual purpose was naturally to occupy an area around Yekaterinburg and control the two oil fields.
Now that the Soviet Union could not even solve its own internal problems, how could it deal with the huge attack of the German army, and when it heard that the German army had sent a large army to Yekaterinburg, the regime that had just moved to Yekaterinburg was terrified, and should it continue to move its capital?
If you want to continue to move the capital, where else can you move to? Abandon everything in the west and flee to Siberia in disarray?
Originally, the regime in Yekaterinburg thought that even if the German army were to attack Yekaterinburg, it would not send a large army group as it did to attack Moscow, but they were wrong.
Although the German army attacking Yekaterinburg did not attack Moscow, there were as many as 1.8 million, and they were all elite, and because of the triumph along the way, the morale was very strong.
In the face of such a German army, the Soviet army was desperate, and after hundreds of thousands of remnants of the Soviet army were buried with Yekaterinburg, Stalin fled ahead of schedule again.
But this time, Stalin lost a trace for a time, did not publicly announce the location of the relocation of the capital, and did not even show up. Some speculate that Stalin was assassinated while on the run, but others speculate that he was in hiding in case of a German attack or assassination by political enemies.
Hitler didn't care about any of this, for him, the Soviet Union was no longer a threat, and he cared most about oil. Immediately after the occupation of the Yekaterinburg area, the Germans sent oil exploration experts to the location mentioned by Wei Qidong to conduct oil exploration.
Sure enough, within a few days, good news came out, although the oil reserves could not be confirmed for the time being, but it could be judged that it was definitely a high-quality oil field.
"General Wei, you are really my lucky star, the whole of Great Germany should thank you......" At this time, Hitler was naturally in a very good mood, but in addition to being happy, he did not forget to thank Wei Qidong, a great benefactor.
Hitler knew that without Wei Qidong's help, the German army would not have achieved such an achievement, and perhaps the Soviet army was still engaged in a fierce battle, and the casualties would definitely be more than now.
With the help of Wei Qidong, the German army not only ended the war against the Soviet Union ahead of schedule, reduced a large number of casualties, and even obtained two large oil fields that could not be imagined.
With these large oil fields, it can be said that the confidence of the whole of Greater Germany has more than doubled.
Immediately, the German side began to build oil fields while withdrawing the main forces to the country, because the Tyumen oil fields and the Volga-Ural oil fields were much closer to China, and these two oil fields were also told by Wei Qidong to the Germans, and when Wei Qidong proposed to jointly develop them by China and Germany, Hitler agreed without any reason to refuse.
In return, Wei Qidong also told Hitler about more than a dozen untapped mineral deposits and other war resources in the Soviet Union, which made Hitler overjoyed and made him feel that even if the Soviet Union was defeated, cooperation with Wei Qidong was very necessary.
After the defeat of the Soviet Union, the turmoil in Europe calmed down for a while, but the return of millions of elite German troops to Germany made the surrounding countries tremble unconsciously, and these countries will never forget the two decades that had passed since the First World War.
And Hitler, a madman, who annexed Austria and Czechoslovakia before attacking the Soviet Union, is obviously not a good man.
Now, defeating the Soviet Union is a complacent plan, and with millions of elites in hand, with Hitler's ambitions, he is willing to keep millions of troops at home?
A haze slowly enveloped the entire European sky.
