Chapter 1043: Nightmare (Part II)

The Kremlin's faces were solemn and speechless, although they knew that the battlefield had deteriorated to a certain extent. But they did not expect that the German army would advance so quickly!

It was only half a month, and it was already threatening Moscow, the proud capital of the Soviets. If Moscow is abandoned, then can the USSR still be called the USSR ?!

"I don't agree with giving up Moscow, I think we have to keep fighting, even if there are great difficulties." Trotsky could not hold his breath and said fiercely: "I would rather die in Moscow than just give up this land that belongs to the Soviets......"

Kalinin smiled bitterly when he heard this, is it up to the Soviet Union to choose now?! The Germans were attacking so fast that if they had stayed in Moscow, the Soviet top would not necessarily have been completely annihilated.

When the time comes, these high-level leaders will be gone, and the Soviets will be in a situation of existential existence in name only. On this basis, everyone can distinguish clearly from the intellectual.

But emotionally, it was a difficult decision to give up the capital. Abandoning Moscow in a big rout, then the blow to the morale of the Soviet Red Army can be imagined.

"Comrade Trotsky, we must take into account the question of long-term combat. The war between us and the Germans will certainly not end in a day or two. What we need is a long-term ...... to keep fighting"

"In such a situation, a strategic retreat is also a helpless option. We need to think long-term, and we have to ensure that we continue to fight......"

"Is a Soviet without Moscow still a Soviet...... Trotsky's mournful voice interrupted Kalinin's words: "Moscow, which Tsarist Russia has not lost, has lost in our hands." Comrade Kalinin, how do you think the entire Soviet people will perceive us ?! ”

Kalinin's face turned red when he heard this, how could he not know the possible consequences of abandoning Moscow?! If he had chosen to give up, there would be no doubt that he and all the members of the Supreme Council of the Soviet Union would have been nailed to the pillar of shame in history.

Tsarist Russia has never had its capital taken by a foreign power, if they have lost it. Then there is no doubt that the whole Soviet Union will be demoralized.

"Comrade Trotsky. What you say is very simple. But how can you guarantee that you will be able to hold Moscow?! How can you guarantee that you will be able to stop the attack of the Germans?! Kalinin took a deep breath and said, "We can choose not to retreat, but the result of this hard fight is likely to be the death of the entire Soviet leadership......

"I'm not asking you all to stay with me......" Trotsky smiled and took off his reading glasses, only then did he feel old. The old one is almost in the coffin.

"As the chairman of the Soviets, I have the right and the duty to hold on to Moscow!" For the first time, Trotsky was so resolute. This made Kalinin look differently at the chairman of the Soviets, who never seemed willing to take responsibility.

"Comrade Trotsky, although I also admire your courage. But what I must say is that there is always a long gap between reality and ideals. What we need to see is that the mechanized corps of the German army is clearly fighting beyond the resistance of our Soviets now. ”

"If it's just tough resistance, it can only be destroyed." Kalinin paused. "What we should do now is to maintain our strength while waiting for the support of the troops and equipment of the allies. This war can continue......"

Trotsky took off his glasses and wiped them with a silk cloth. At this time, he couldn't help but sigh that he was old after all. After all, he is no longer the man who never had any fatigue with Lenin's southern and northern wars.

He is now dozens of years old, and his beard is gray. The hair also spent. The energy that had once been so great seemed to have left him. Now he is a little cowardly and has learned to escape.

But when he learned that even Moscow was threatened by the Germans, everything seemed to come back to him as a former Soviet hero.

Taking a deep breath, Trotsky looked at Kalinin and said, "Yes! It's all the way it should be. But that's what you're supposed to do, and what I should do as chairman of the Soviets is to stay in the capital. Stay with our Soviet fighters, or achieve victory. Or a heroic death......"

"But, I shouldn't retreat! Because, I'm in Moscow!! ”

Kalinin's blood was almost stirred up by Trotsky's words, but reason told the veteran Soviet general what the consequences would be. If the chairman of the Soviets died in Moscow. Then it would have been an incomparably huge blow to the Soviets.

"Don't worry, Comrade Kalinin. If I die in battle, it will only be a little more blood on the red flag of our Soviets. This flag is dyed with the blood of countless of our comrades. Even now I go down to accompany them. It's kind of a late ......."

Galinin was silent, he suddenly didn't know what to say now. The courage that once appeared in Trotsky. Again back to him.

If he had such courage back then, would he have supported Stalin ?! It would be unknown, but now Kalinin knew he should support Trotsky.

Perhaps the heroic struggle of a Soviet chairman will awaken the courage of those who have retreated from the front. If that were the case, perhaps the Soviets would have had a war with Germany.

War is the harshest test of everything in a country, from industrial capacity to co-ordination to unity, coordination and resilience.

Being at a disadvantage in any of these areas is likely to lead to the catastrophe of a country and a nation. It was not only the Tiger Tu who knew this, but Trotsky and Kalinin also knew this.

For the Soviets to rise, they must have a strong record. Although the nations were angry at the establishment of the Soviets, they did not dare to speak lightly of the use of force, because the Soviets defeated the combined arms of the nations at the beginning of their rebirth.

Although it was only a small part of the forces of the nations, they were not sure how much they would have to pay to defeat the Soviets. They are not willing to take that risk.

And now the Soviets were facing even more difficult tests than before. As long as this step is taken, then whether Europe and the United States want to recognize the Soviets or not, will become an international power.

In fact, the same is true of China in later generations. After eight years of the War of Resistance and four years of the War of Liberation, China was not actually recognized by other countries other than the Red Army.

And the battle of North Korea. China has single-handedly forced a US-led coalition to negotiate in the end. In this way, the status of a great power has been established.

The two subsequent secret wars in Vietnam and the smoke of gunfire on the Black Blind Island laid the foundation for China to become a regional power that would not yield to the great powers.

And it is these battles that have never yielded that make the countries dare not speak lightly of war against China. Once on the Korean battlefield, China's warning that "you must not cross the 38th parallel" was taken as a joke.

Later, on the battlefield in Vietnam, China's "not to cross the 17th parallel" became a holy decree of the US military. How did all this come about?! It was all bought with the blood and lives of the soldiers who roared and fought on the Korean battlefield.

Dignity is never a matter of charity. He typed it out. If you want to be respected, you have to show what you deserve. Otherwise, this respect can only be a sarcastic joke.

But there are always people in this world who don't understand this, such as a certain third brother who often asks for comparison with China in later generations. But in fact, few people in China will regard them as imaginary enemies.

For many more people, the United States and Europe are qualified as their imaginary enemies. And the third brother?! A country of hundreds of millions of illiterate people who are mere two-legged sheep has little competition with China. Although they were at the time of independence. The infrastructure construction is stronger than China's.

But now it is far behind China.

"Comrade Trotsky, I know what you think. And even in some ways, I support you in doing this......" Kalinin, after being silent for a long time, said: "But what if you sacrifice the command and decision-making power of the Soviets?!" ”

The battle of achievement is also the battle of honor. Of course, this was also a life-and-death battle for the Soviets. Victory. then the Soviets became an international power. And defeated, the Soviets will become the dust of history.

"I propose that while I am unable to fulfill my duties as Chairman of the Soviets, Comrades Kalinin and Stalin, exercise the rights of Chairman of the Soviets instead of me. At the same time, if I have already died fighting for the Motherland, then please Comrade Stalin and Kalinin. Together with other comrades of the Supreme Council of the Soviets, elect the new Chairman of the Soviets! ”

Trotsky seemed to have already thought about what he should do, and without waiting for Kalinin to finish speaking, he said directly: "This opinion is light, comrades of the Supreme Council. Voting ......"

Everyone looked at Trotsky in disbelief, as if they could not believe that the chairman could have made such a decision at this time. Time. The atmosphere in the entire conference room suddenly froze.

Everyone was silent for a while, and no one knew what to say for a while. Everyone looked at Trotsky in a daze, with admiration and disdain in their eyes, and a sigh of meaning.

"Alright, let's vote by show of hands." Trotsky did not look at them, and looked as if he had settled down on the old monk: "Comrades who agree with me, please raise your hand!" ”

As he spoke, he was the first to take the lead and raised his hand. The others remained silent, except for Trotsky, alone in the conference room, raising his hand.

How similar! Trotsky lamented how similar this was to when he was expelled from the Supreme Council of the Soviets! At that time, he was isolated, and those comrades who had been born and died together became his enemies.

They could not wait to deprive themselves of their authority and drive themselves out of the Soviets. He was branded a counter-revolutionary, imprisoned, expelled, and even assassinated.

But by this time, someone in the Supreme Council had slowly raised their hands. In the midst of everyone's astonished gaze, Kalinin slowly raised his hand.

"At one time, I felt that Comrade Trotsky, with whom I had built the Soviets in blood and artillery fire, had died. But today I learned that Trotsky did not sacrifice. He was just asleep, and now I'm sure he's awake......"

Kalinin's words, Trotsky burst into tears. Once upon a time, he was the fighter who, together with Comrade Lenin, shouted for freedom and equality and rushed towards the Tsar's fire.

But I don't know when, those courages will pass away with the wind. All that remains is a shell trying to seize power. What were you looking for, and when did you get lost?! Trotsky himself could not tell.

People's hearts are fickle, and people's hearts change so fast. It's dizzying.

And with the raising of hands of Trotsky and Kalinin. The members of the Supreme Council also raised their hands one after another. One, two, three......

In the end, the committee was formed and it was surprisingly unanimous! Of course, Stalin was not here.

"Okay, then Comrade Kalinin, please inform Comrade Stalin to rush back as soon as possible." Trotsky did not seem to have expected his proposal to be unanimously approved, and he smiled and said: "Comrade Kalinin will organize everyone to evacuate here, and Comrade Tukhachevsky will be stationed in Moscow with me......"

"Hopefully, everyone can wait for the news of our victory ......"

When the decision of the Supreme Council of Soviets in Moscow reached Stalin, Stalin, an old rival who had been fighting with Trotsky for more than a decade, was a little speechless......

He did not expect Trotsky to make such a decision at this juncture. He did not expect that Trotsky would make such a choice at such a moment.

We, despite political differences. But what we have is the same motherland and the same dream. The rise of the Soviets lived up to the blood of those comrades-in-arms who had sacrificed their lives for the revolution.

Perhaps, this is what we have in common......

Negotiations with China are nearing completion. The conditions offered by the Chinese side are becoming more and more concrete. There are fewer and fewer differences between the two sides, but there are more and more opposites in common.

Stalin also seemed to sniff out the private thoughts of Europe and the United States, but he could not stop it. He could not watch China throw itself into Germany, because that would lead to the death of the Soviets.

The Soviet army performed extremely poorly on the battlefield, but the Germans were full of confidence. Even if the Soviets now offered to negotiate, the Germans might not be willing to talk about it again.

It's a country that can be occupied and destroyed with your own hands, so why spend all your time negotiating with them?! Let them continue to possess the resources they need. It is better to take all of these into your own hands.

The Japanese are also making good progress, at least now they are gradually catching up with the speed of the German attack. Due to the large number of Soviet troops transferred to Moscow for defense, the strength of the Soviet troops in front of the Japanese army was weakening.

The Japanese army was almost unhindered on the territory of the Soviet Union, if it were not for the hostile eyes of those who were different from their own skin color. Perhaps Ishihara thinks that he is cleaning up those third-rate colonial armies on the battlefield in Southeast Asia.

"The closer we get to victory, the closer we are to death......" victory did not make Ishihara happy. On the contrary, he felt a hint of worry.

Now the German and Japanese attacks are going too well, which means that the Soviets are not using the weapons and equipment they have received from China, the United States, and Canada.

Moreover. No European and American troops were seen on the battlefield.

"Your Excellency, Commander, haven't we been victorious?! Why we say that the more we win. The closer you are to death?! "The chief of staff is a little confused.

And Ishihara Wan'er smiled wryly and said, "Have we seen a single American soldier on the battlefield?!" Did you see a British soldier?! They didn't make a move, which means that they are recuperating. ”

"Believe me, when they set foot on the battlefield is when we fight. That's when it's the real test for us, if we don't hold it up. Then wait for the ...... of the empire"

What awaits the empire is likely to be destroyed......

Ishihara didn't say this, but the meaning he wanted to express was already obvious. If the Japanese offensive had failed, and the German offensive had gone well, there was no doubt that Japan would have been abandoned by the Axis powers.

And if both Japan and Germany lost the battle, the fate of the Japanese army would be simpler: the entire Axis Congress would be buried directly on Soviet soil.

But Ishihara didn't dare to say this. He can't say either.

Actually, it's not just him. Hirohito in the Tokyo Imperial Palace, Kanin Miyajihito of the General Staff Department, etc., have already seen the clues. The difference between them is only that Ishihara doesn't dare to say it, and Hirohito doesn't say it.

And Xianyuan Gong Zairen is directly unwilling to think and believe.

"Order the troops to continue fighting and do a good job of collecting grain on the spot." Ishihara did not continue to discuss this topic with his chief of staff, he directly ordered: "There is no need to think about anything here, what they do in Southeast Asia is what they do here." Everything, explained by me and the military department......"

"Hay! But will this cause disgust and protest from Germany, Your Excellency Commander......"

"I said, I'll take care of everything." Ishihara didn't say much, and the chief of staff quickly nodded and went out to carry out the order. Then, Ishihara heard the beastly cheers of the Japanese soldiers outside.

They had wanted to do this for a long time, but unfortunately, Ishihara had emphasized military discipline before he came. He even executed several Japanese officers who tried to rape Russian women.

They didn't expect that His Excellency the Commander would abandon the ban at this time, and everyone couldn't help but cheer loudly. But only a small number of people were wary, and they felt that the implication of Ishihara's agreement to such a thing was unusual......

That's the only thing I can do for you...... Ishihara Wan'er smiled bitterly in his headquarters and sighed in his heart, This may be your last enjoyment. Because after that, you will have nightmares......
