Chapter 385: Never Recognize Prisoners
When Stalin was building the Eastern Defense Line, no one raised any objection to Stalin's arrangement, because everyone could see the defects in this arrangement, and it can be said that the entire Soviet Union at this time was still stuck in the idea of keeping the enemy out of the country, and no one thought that Stalin's arrangement was wrong.

None of the high-ranking Soviet generals present here had fought with Germany, but had only read some reports on the German blitzkrieg.
But there is really one person who understands this, and that is Zhukov, Zhukov is much more courageous, and since Stalin asked him by name, Zhukov also intends to say something substantive that is conducive to the current war situation.
Zhukov was personally promoted by Stalin, of course, he was very in awe of Stalin, Zhukov saw that Stalin called his name, he immediately stood up, gave a standard military salute to Stalin, and then began to state his opinion:
"Comrade Stalin, according to the situation of the German offensive, and in the light of the information we have received, the army of Germany and its entangled lackeys is very large, and it should be between 5 million and 8 million.
And the 2.9 million people we have deployed on the eastern defense line, but these 2.9 million people are scattered along the nearly 3,000-kilometer national border, so the troops we deploy on the border will definitely not be able to stop such a large number of enemies.
For the German mechanized troops, it is impossible for us to withdraw these 2.9 million troops, and the only way now is to let these 2.9 million people fight to the death with the German army, so as to win us more time to prepare for war, and the longer they persist and delay, the more beneficial it will be for us.
The minimum time is a month, so that we can place a second line of defense along the north and south gates of Moscow, and three lines of defense in Moscow.
Because Moscow was already within the bombing range of German aircraft, our various enterprises in Moscow at this time, in order to avoid being destroyed by the German bombing, had to relocate to the Ural Mountains as soon as possible and establish our new industrial base there.
In this way, we have the capital to fight with Germany for a long time, and when we drag Germany into the quagmire, we have two plans, the first is to drag the war into a harsh winter, and the other is to wait for changes in the international situation.
I estimate that Britain and the United States will absolutely not sit idly by and watch Germany monopolize the huge territory and resources of the Soviet Union, and they will definitely stick a knife in Germany from behind, so I suggest that Comrade Stalin immediately send a special envoy to Britain and the United States to ask for help.
I think Britain and the United States will definitely support and agree to support us with a lot of weapons and equipment, because Britain and the United States, the capitalist countries, are very happy to see our Red Soviet Union and the Germans fight and lose, and they can sit on the advantage of the fisherman, and the defeat of the Soviet Union is the last thing Britain and the United States want to see.
In addition, in order to prevent us from falling into the dilemma of fighting on two fronts, we must immediately send people to Japan, preferably by signing a non-aggression pact, even if this pact is only temporary, and we must temporarily stabilize Japan.
We don't have intelligence to show that Japan has already set a strategy to go south, so the non-aggression pact signed between us and Japan should be smoothly realized, so that we don't have to worry about fighting on two fronts, and at the same time we have a relatively safe Siberian rear.
When I finish my words, please instruct me on my naïve and immature thoughts with the great Comrade Stalin. ”
"Snort...... Sneer......"
The rest of the participants did not even dare to applaud Zhukov before Stalin spoke, and the strategy that Zhukov just talked about, from military to tactical, to diplomatic, is a very good suggestion.
It is not that the senior Soviet generals present at the meeting do not understand, but they can only cheer for Zhukov in their hearts, whether Zhukov's opinion is right or not, and only after Stalin expresses his approval of Zhukov's opinion, can the senior Soviet generals present applaud Zhukov.
There is no doubt that in a meeting with Stalin, applause can only belong to Stalin, not Zhukov.
Stalin took a few puffs of his cigarette vigorously, then looked at the people present, and then said coldly:
"What kind of army are we, we are the Soviet Red Army, our Bolshevik army, our fighters should fight to the death.
The revolutionary army of the Soviet Union absolutely does not allow prisoners and deserters, all officers and men must live and die with the position, whoever dares to abandon the position without an order is a deserter, and we must resolutely and ruthlessly suppress the deserters.
At the same time, our Bolshevik army did not allow the appearance of prisoners, no one wanted to fight to the death for the country, but chose to surrender shamefully, there was still the Soviet revolutionary army, so we absolutely did not recognize the prisoners, all the families of the captives were sent to Siberian labor camps, and the families of high-ranking generals were shot and exiled. ”
"Bang bang bang...... Papapa......" applause was endless.
"Fight to the death, and never recognize prisoners."
"Fight to the death, and never recognize prisoners." Slogans sounded in my ears.
Stalin buried the 2.9 million Soviet troops on the Eastern Front in one sentence, and they had absolutely no possibility of retreating, so they could only be nailed to their positions.
If they did not fight to the death, their families would be sent to labor camps, and Stalin wanted to use this ruthless method to achieve the goal of making all Soviet troops fight to the death.
Stalin did the same thing in history, and as a result? There were still a large number of Soviet troops surrendered, but Hitler did not make good use of the contradictions within the Soviet Union, so that Hitler finally failed, and now there is a butterfly like Rommel, and I don't know what effect Stalin's cruel policy will bring.
At this high-level military conference of the Soviet Union, several important decisions were made, almost all of which were suggested by Zhukov, and Stalin accepted Zhukov's suggestions in their entirety.
At the same time, Stalin also issued a national ****** to send men between the ages of 17 and 35 in the Soviet Union to join the army, and the total number of men in the Soviet Union at this age was about 30 million to 40 million, and the total population of the Soviet Union at this time was 140 million, and there were no less than 50 million men and women who could serve in the war.
There were a lot of female soldiers in the Soviet Union in history, and if the Soviet Union's Eastern Defense Line could really hold Germany for a month, the Soviet Union would have time to arrange the second and third lines of defense in the north, and at the same time, British and American assistance should also arrive.
At that time, the Soviet Union will have enough capital to drag on the war, and when the war enters the harsh winter, the situation of the war will change greatly, and then Britain and the United States will stab Germany in the back, and Germany will be really dangerous.
Whether Germany is dead or alive, in fact, the initiative is in the hands of Führer Rommel, and Stalin and Zhukov see the external causes, but do not analyze the situation that exists within the Soviet Union.
Due to Stalin's erroneous economic policies, such as the poor scissors of industry and agriculture, Stalin's policy left the Soviet peasants without enough to eat, clothe, and even starve to death every day.
As long as Führer Rommel took advantage of the internal contradictions of the Soviet Union, implemented a liberal national policy in the Soviet Union, and made full use of the Soviet people's dissatisfaction with the Stalin regime, he could completely dismantle all the counterattacks of Stalin's regime.
Führer Rommel did it from the very beginning - to give the Soviet people freedom, dignity, bread, work.
It remains to be seen whether Stalin's brutal and erroneous economic policies will provoke a backlash from the Soviet people......
