In March 1944, while Japan and the United States were fighting each other over the Hawaiian Islands, the Soviet Red Army was preparing a counterattack that could save the Red Army. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

A battle plan, codenamed "The Red Guard," was urgently drawn up in late March.

According to this plan, the Soviet Red Army would launch a counterattack on the German northern road cluster before the Germans launched a campaign to attack Moscow.

In this counterattack, the Soviets will make full use of the rains in early April and the mud in April, and invest more than 1 million "lightly armored" troops to launch surprise attacks and counterattacks from the forests of western Kalinin Oblast, using internationalist fighters disguised as German and Polish troops to disrupt the rear of the German army.

The troops, armed with light and fast BT tank SU-57 tank destroyers, carried out a large-scale outflanking and detour, striving to pass through the Kalinin region within 5-7 days, cut the Red October railway line (Moscow-Petrograd railway line) on the territory of the Novgorod region, and thus complete the encirclement of the German 6th Panzer Army - the purpose of the encirclement was not to annihilate this powerful German Panzer Army, but to force the army to break through in the direction of Petrograd in the muddy season.

As soon as the Germans chose to break through to the north, then the roads of the Russian muddy season would have made them suffer, causing a lot of equipment damage and fuel consumption. So the German offensive on Moscow had to be postponed for several months...... It's been a critical few months!

"Great, Comrade Pavlov, Comrade Zhukov, you have a very good plan, this is a genius plan!"

Stalin finished reading the battle plan sent by Pavlov and Zhukov, and a long-lost smile appeared on his face.

"It's a plan that can definitely succeed!" Stalin took a puff of his cigarette and added: "Now the United States and Japan are engaged in a decisive battle in the Hawaiian Islands...... And Japan is sure to suffer, not only in the Hawaiian Islands, but also in the Dutch East Indies, Malaya, and the Philippine Islands – because the Americans have begun to deploy in Australia an ultra-long-range heavy bomber that could destroy Japanese-controlled oil fields and bring Japanese industry to its knees.

In addition, the submarines of the Americans are also very active. They sank a large number of Japanese freighters and oil tankers, and also laid mines on Japan's main shipping lanes, dealing a very heavy blow to Japanese industry.

So the prospect of Japan's defeat is predictable...... In the near future, the Japanese will be defeated, and then the United States will join us in defeating Germany with all our might. As long as we can drag on through 1944, the USSR will be saved! ”

Although Roosevelt had now given up on the Soviet Union spiritually, Stalin insisted that the Soviet Union could be saved.

He believed that as long as the Soviet-German war could drag on until the fall of Japan, the Soviet Union would have a way to live.

And it doesn't seem to be that hard to do that. Because the weather in the Soviet Union was there, and for half of the year it was either freezing or muddy, and it was impossible to fight a war -- if the Germans insisted on launching an offensive in winter, then Stalin was really not afraid. The months in which war can be fought are the six months between May and October.

If the "Red Guard" plan could succeed, the German siege of Moscow would have been delayed for at least 3 months...... This is a good chance to drag the defense of Moscow into the winter. Everyone knows that "the old man is a friend of Russia in winter", and the Germans have a hard time adapting to the harsh cold climate of Russia.

"Good, I've approved the plan!" Stalin, looking confident, took two puffs of his cigarette and asked: "By the way, who will be responsible for the infiltration of the 'Red Brigades'?" ”

"It's Otto. Comrade Braun," Zhukov said, "it was Comrade Rokossovsky who recommended him. ”

"Otto. Braun ...... "Stalin whispered the name, and did not have any impression," "where was he in '34-'38?" ”

The years 34-38 were the years of the Great Purge, and many comrades of the German Bolshevik Party were wronged. Although these people are acting without complaint now, who knows what is going on in their hearts?

"He worked in China," Pavlov said, "and did not return to the Soviet Union until 1939." ”

Although the Great Purge is terrible, there are still people who have escaped from it, Otto. Braun was one of the lucky ones. He worked in China for several years of the Great Purge, and because of the needs of his work, he joined the Chinese Bolshevik Party, so the Great Purge left him out - in fact, he was not important to the Soviet Union, he was a small person, and if it was convenient, he was arrested and sent to labor reform, and if it was troublesome, it was okay to keep it.

"And what about the others?" Stalin asked again.

He was a little uneasy about the German Red Brigades, and would it be convenient for them to betray the revolution by letting them infiltrate?

"Rest assured," Pavlov replied, "that every commander and fighter who took part in the infiltration operation was personally selected by Comrade Rokossovsky, guaranteeing their absolute loyalty to the cause of GCISM. ”

……

Otto, who is absolutely loyal to the cause of GCISM. Comrade Braun was at the Yaroslavsky railway station in Moscow at this time with his wife Lillian. Braun kisses goodbye. Lillian. Braun was Braun's second wife, and the two met in China and married in 1939.

Soon after, the two arrived together in the Soviet Union, where their peaceful life was not broken until 1942, when the outbreak of the world revolution broke out.

At that time, he had a lot of military experience, was politically reliable, and was of the right age (Braun was born in 1900 and was 42 years old at the time of the World Revolution), so he was selected as the commander of the German Red Brigade. Prepare to march majestically and vigorously into the city of Berlin with the Soviet Red Army.

Unfortunately, it backfired, and the world revolution has now turned into the Great Patriotic War. And the position of the German Red Brigades was suddenly awkward, and Germany could not go back unless it was a traitor to the concentration camps of the Germans (of course, there were concentration camps, which were places where German internationalist fighters and the White Left of the Socialist Party were imprisoned) for labor reform.

And it seems useless for the Soviet Union to keep a bunch of Germans on their side, and sooner or later they will have to be consumed as cannon fodder.

And the day of becoming cannon fodder has obviously come now!

Including Otto. More than 30 German (Austrian) internationalist fighters dressed in Soviet-style military uniforms, including Braun, are parting with their families at the Yaroslavsky railway station today - the trains from the Yaroslavsky railway station are all going to Siberia!

According to the orders of Rokossovsky and the leader of the German Bolshevik Party, Thälmann: all the commanders of the Red Brigades, fighters and political cadres had to send their families to Chelyabinsk, Siberia.

Without family members, commanders, soldiers, and political cadres, they were not allowed to take part in Operation Red Star, and they would be scattered and integrated into ordinary Red Army units to take part in the counterattack against the German invaders - proving their loyalty to the cause of GCISM with their lives and blood!

In other words, only those who have family members who can be hostages are eligible to participate in Operation Red Star. And those who have no family to hostage can only participate in a lifeless frontal offensive to hit the defensive line of the German 6th Panzer Army.

……

"Dear Ludwig, it's a pleasure to see you."

"Me too, dear Olga."

Otto. When Braun and his wife kissed goodbye, in Peterpals-Patrick in Petrograd, Field Marshal Hersmann was kissing the Empress of Russia - a kiss on the face, and Chloe was waiting in line to kiss the Empress.

"I heard that you will soon be the noble prince and duke?" After the Empress kissed Chloe, she talked to the Hersmanns as she walked to the front of the luxurious Peterhmann Palace.

The Hersmanns, who visited St. Petersburg, stayed at the Russian Imperial Palace as usual.

"His Majesty the Emperor wants to canonize me Duke of Rastenburg and Prince of the German Empire after we regain Moscow." Hersman replied.

The canonization of Duke and Prince to Hersman was actually part of a conspiracy!

However, the target of the conspiracy was not Hersmann, but German Chancellor Adolf. Hitler. The conspiracy was hatched by Schleicher, who persuaded Kaiser Wilhelm III to canonize several military men and statesmen who had distinguished themselves for their service to the German Empire as dukes and princes after the "victory over the Soviet Union" (marked by the capture of Moscow).

In addition to Hersmann and Schleicher, the one who is eligible to be awarded is of course Adolf. Hitler is over!

Was it a conspiracy to give Hitler dukes and princes?

That's right, it's a conspiracy! This is a European conspiracy. Because the Workers' Party is inherently estranged from such figures as dukes and princes. There was no problem for Hersmann and Schleicher to be canonized as Junker aristocratic officers, and they did not need workers' votes anyway.

But once Hitler became the honorable Adolf. Feng. Prince Hitler, Duke of Linz, then Hitler would no longer be the "own man" of the German working class.

"I'll tell you a secret," said Empress Olga, who did not go into further discussion, but shifted the conversation to Russia, "and I will soon be canonizing several very important figures as dukes." ”

"Oh?" Hersman nodded, "Negotiated with all of them?" ”

"All people", of course, refer to those who have just become marshals of the Soviet Union and Heroes of the Soviet Union.

"Not all," said the Empress, "there are always people who value faith above all else, like my father, mother, sister, and brother." ”

Her words may sound strange, but Hersman knew why—Tsar Nicholas II and his family (except for Olga) were canonized saints by Patriarch Sergei I of Moscow and All Russia of the Eastern Orthodox Church.

Olga compares those who refused to submit to the Tsarist regime and were ready to dedicate their lives to the cause of GCISM to Orthodox saints.
