When Ernst. When Brem appeared in Moscow, it meant another catastrophe for the Russian capital.

In the eyes of the skull baron, it seemed that the word fear had nothing to do with him, and the only thing he had to do was to meet more difficult challenges each time.

For example, this time: rescue the Honored Marshal of the Soviet Union Timoshenko!

This is simply an impossible task in the eyes of everyone, but for Ernst . For Bram, it was just another small episode in his countless adventures.

But how do you get Timoshenko out of that small building? And how to take him away from Moscow, which is heavily armed?

With the German forces approaching, it has now become extremely difficult to get in and out of Moscow. It would have been impossible to come in without the assistance of Timitave.

As for leaving? Demitave can't be exposed yet, and he can definitely not be counted on anymore......

The situation that seemed a little desperate did not worry Wang Weiyi. In Moscow, out of the Sidney death squad, he has two trump cards:

Anna and her husband: Deputy Head of the Main Directorate of State Security of the USSR Dimilenko!

Of course, Anna and her husband are not his people yet, but at this point, Wang Weiyi doesn't care at all.

He trusted that they would assist him......

He took the most direct and simple and effective way to visit Anna's family.

For the appearance of the skeleton baron, Anna and Dimilenko were surprised and frightened. But I think it's reasonable. If the person in front of him doesn't come to Moscow every once in a while to make a fuss, then he is not a skeleton baron......

"You have helped me a lot before, and I am very grateful." Sit down. Wang Weiyi said straight to the point: "Now, I think you know better than me the current situation, the powerful German army is about to enter Moscow, which is completely covered by the flames of war, and Russia's final defeat is inevitable...... But I don't think you need to be afraid, because you're my friends......"

Anna and Dimilenko quietly breathed a sigh of relief......

True, after the defeat at Stalingrad. Pessimism gripped the top brass in Moscow, and the guys who led the entire Soviet Union were already well aware. Under the overwhelming offensive of the German army, Moscow had no possibility of holding on.

Many people are looking for a way out for themselves, and in the past few days alone, Dimilenko has personally uncovered seven cases of fornication with senior leaders in Germany.

All seven were shot for "treason". Several of these leaders. It was even a warrant for execution signed by Stalin himself.

But no amount of shooting can hide the fear of defeat......

By contrast, Dimilienko, who was personally appointed by Stalin to spy on and detect Moscow's unswerving positions, was less afraid.

He was well aware that in the past he had helped the Germans a lot, especially the Skull Baron. Relations with themselves were quite good, even if the Germans entered Moscow. As a human being of a skeleton baron, he will not do anything to himself.

It's just that it looks like the enormous power I once held is about to be lost......

But at this time, the Skeleton Baron is here again, and it's in their home now!

"A new Russian political situation is about to take shape." Wang Weiyi's words interrupted Dimilenko's train of thought, and he listened carefully to what Wang Weiyi said: "This is a regime that is completely different from the Moscow government. Anna, you're my best friend in Russia, aren't you? ”

Looking at the face in front of her, which had haunted her as a girl, and now still maintained almost no change from decades ago, Anna couldn't help but nodded......

Yes, he is the best friend of the Skull Baron in Russia - the best!

"So, I have to do something for my friends......" Wang Weiyi smiled slightly: "After the new government is formed and the power of the whole of Russia is seized, I will recommend you to become the Minister of Finance or Foreign Minister of the new government......

Anna's mouth opened wide, unable to believe what she had heard. If it was really as Baron Skeleton said, it would be unbelievable.

"And you? Dimilenko, my friend, I have arranged it for you too. Wang Weiyi's eyes fell on Dimilenko: "Would you rather be the national police chief, or would you like to become the deputy minister of defense?" ”

"Superintendent of Police." Almost without thinking, Dimilenko blurted out.

But as soon as the words came out, Dimilenko had some regrets, and even some embarrassment...... He was too reckless, and it meant that he would completely fall to the side of the Germans......

"It's not something to be embarrassed about." As if being able to see through the other party's mind, Wang Weiyi said lightly: "People are always selfish, and when a country is facing complete despair, you should always think about what you should do." Not only for yourself, but also for your family. You have a pair of lovely children, and the children are innocent......"

Dimilenko lit a cigarette and took a deep breath...... Normally he doesn't smoke, but now, he has to use the power of cigarettes to calm himself down and think about what to do.

Wang Weiyi was not in a hurry, but patiently waited for his final reply......

When the cigarette in his hand burned to the end, Dimilenko extinguished the cigarette butt: "Mr. Baron, tell me, what do you want to do when you come to Moscow this time?" ”

"Save people." Wang Weiyi decided not to hide anything anymore: "Last time I came to Moscow to save people, but that time I did it easily, so I didn't come to trouble you, but this time it was different, and it was a little difficult for me to save people...... Marshal Timoshenko! ”

Anna and Dimilenko gasped at the same time.

God, Marshal Timoshenko! It's simply an impossible task. Since he returned to Moscow. He was closely monitored, and Stalin repeatedly inquired about Timoshenko's current condition. If it weren't for his high morality, I am afraid that he would have been shot by Stalin long ago......

Right now. Baron Bones actually wants to get him out?

It suddenly occurred to Dimilenko that even people like Timoshenko were in collusion with the Germans?

If that's the case, then I'd be glad to have a friend like Baron Skeleton......

"It's not that I don't want to help you, baron, but there are too many difficulties." Dimilenko honestly said: "The place where he is being held is well guarded. Of course, you can also rescue people by storming. I'm sure you have a solution...... But what happens when he is rescued? Now everyone who leaves Moscow is subjected to harsh interrogation...... Unless I'm willing to expose myself...... Wait a minute. Wait, why not do that? ”

Dimilenko's eyes lit up: "Ah, I see, Baron. Do you want to take us with you? ”

"Yes. My friend. Wang Weiyi smiled: "I said that the artillery fire is about to cover this place, and you are my friends, and I don't want my friends to be hurt by the shelling, so take your children and leave Moscow, a place full of dangers, with me." ”

Anna and Dimilenko exchanged glances with each other, and then. Dimilenko asked: "Baron, do you have a specific plan?" ”

Wang Weiyi nodded: "Yes." I've thought about it. We have to do something......"

He told his plan in detail. When Wang Weiyi's last word was settled, Dimilenko and Anna actually laughed......

Such a bold and crazy plan could probably only be imagined by the Skeleton Baron.

The whole plan is crazy, but simple. In fact, the simpler the plan, the more likely it is to succeed.

"We have to act at the same time." Wang Weiyi said slowly: "Anna, you are mainly responsible for taking your children to the pick-up place we agreed, remember, the timing is very important. And you, Dimilenko, you can act as an informer......"

Dimilenko was a little worried: "Baron, in fact, in the whole plan, your part is the most dangerous, what if you are really surrounded?" Our whole plan will fail because of this. Moreover, I can't take on such a responsibility. ”

"Don't worry, hundreds of thousands of Soviet troops can't catch me on the battlefield, let alone here." Wang Weiyi was confident: "And we also have a very favorable place, Stalin's suspicions. He won't trust your ...... so easily"

Dimilenko no longer had any hesitation, since the baron had already figured out Stalin's character and temper so clearly, then leave everything into the hands of the baron.

He knew very well what it would mean for him and Anna if the plan was really successful......

．．．．．．

"Comrade Stalin, the situation is very serious now." Zhukov's face looked serious: "After the defeat in the Battle of Stalingrad, the German army successfully crossed the Volga, and Comrade Vasilevsky was not able to stop the enemy. ”

Stalin had a pipe in his mouth and his face was full of dissatisfaction: "I'm curious, what is Comrade Vasilevsky thinking?" Why didn't he be able to stop the enemy? Why did you suffer repeated defeats on the battlefield? Should he take a good look at himself? ”

In the entire Soviet Union, the only one who dared to confront Stalin was probably Zhukov.

When he heard Stalin's criticism of Vasilevsky, Zhukov immediately and unceremoniously said: "Comrade Stalin, despite the fact that Comrade Vasilevsky made some mistakes on the battlefield, I think the main responsibility lies with us. He successfully completed the encirclement of the German army at the Terek River, but you appointed Voroshilov as the commander-in-chief of the front, and we all know that Voroshilov, although he fought bravely, he did not have the ability to command hundreds of thousands of troops. He didn't do anything at the cost of sacrificing the lives of his soldiers, and he was the one who should bear the main responsibility......"

Stalin's face turned pale, and what Zhukov said was no longer polite......

The appointment of Voroshilov as commander-in-chief of the former enemy was personally appointed by Stalin. At that time, Zhukov firmly opposed this appointment, but Stalin strongly rejected Zhukov's opinion. Now it seems, Zhukov was right.

But. Zhukov's attitude Stalin did not like it, he always contradicted himself again and again, and even almost forced himself to abolish the post of political commissar in the Soviet army and change it to the system of responsibility of military commanders.

Persecution - only Zhukov dared to do this in this Soviet!

However, although Stalin was annoyed by Zhukov's attitude, he did not have the slightest intention of persecuting him, because he knew that there was no one in the whole Soviet Union Zhukov's loyalty to him.

Even if one day the whole Soviet Union betrayed itself. But Zhukov would never do such a thing......

It is true that he has made some wrong decisions, for example, on the issue of appointing Voroshilov.

Now Stalingrad has fallen into the hands of the Germans. Moscow had one less of the most advantageous barrier to hold back the advance of the Germans. Moreover, after the capture of Stalingrad, the Germans quickly launched a strong attack on the Volga, judging by the forces at the disposal of Vasilevsky. There was simply no way to stop the Germans.

Stalin also did not want to punish Vasilevsky. What he said before was nothing more than to vent his anger and pass the blame to his subordinates.

But in front of Zhukov, he couldn't even do this......

"So, tell me, Comrade Zhukov, what are we going to do now?" Stalin said with a gloomy face.

"The Germans are advancing ferociously towards Moscow, and they are the three main armies of the German army. Ernst battle cluster, Manstein cluster and Guderian cluster. Zhukov immediately said: "The strength of these three clusters reaches 2 million to 2.4 million. Well equipped and morale high, and having suffered heavy losses in a series of previous battles, I do not think we have any chance of victory in the short term. Now I beg you to immediately lead the evacuation of the main party and government organs of the Soviets to Leningrad, where I will personally command the army and the enemy in the defense of Moscow! ”

"Comrade Zhukov, you must evacuate with me!" Stalin was quick to speak.

"Comrade Stalin, someone here must be in command." Zhukov did not seem to think about his own safety: "I will have the last decisive battle with the Germans here!" ”

Stalin read the meaning of his words......

The losses of the USSR were already unacceptably heavy, and those newly formed corps did not have much combat effectiveness at all. And even if the factories of the USSR were to run at full capacity, they would not be able to compensate for the losses on the battlefield.

Here, indeed, it will become the most reluctant battlefield.

If Zhukov could not stop the German capture of Moscow, then the Germans would soon begin the assault on Leningrad. But on the contrary, if Zhukov had pulled off a miracle here, the tide of the battle might have turned around.

Although the probability of such a miracle happening is too small......

It seems that Zhukov has decided to fight the enemy here. The cold Stalin could not help but feel a touch of emotion in his heart.

"I have ordered Vasilevsky to retreat in the direction of Moscow with all his troops." Zhukov stated his arrangement: "At the same time, I ordered the battlefield on all fronts to be drastically reduced, with the defense of Moscow as the first priority. In Moscow, we raised an army of more than 2 million men, which, of course, I have to admit, were made up of a large number of defeated soldiers and recruits, the youngest of whom was only fourteen years old, and the oldest one was even more than 50 years old. But there is no way, this is the only force we can put together at the moment...... However, I believe that the military and civilians of Moscow have a strong determination to defend Moscow and our city! ”

Stalin listened carefully, and then said: "Comrade Zhukov, I thank you for your efforts, and since you have already made a decision, then I approve your stay here and command the defense of Moscow with Comrade Vasilevsky." You will have all the rights you want, and there will be no interruptions. Well, how long are you going to hold out in Moscow? ”

"At least more than half a year, when the cruel winter will come...... Zhukov said firmly: "We have won the first battle of Moscow, we can also win the second battle of Moscow, we not only have fearless soldiers and civilians, but also the cruel climate will become our allies." At that time, even if the Germans had a strong military superiority, it would be useless, and the final victory would definitely belong to the Soviets! ”

"The last victory must belong to the Soviets" seemed to be for his subordinates, but more like to cheer himself up, and Stalin repeated the words: "I hope that our new ally, Japan, will do something and help us to relieve some of the pressure"

Zhukov smiled bitterly, Japan?

Now that Japan is too busy to take care of itself, it must face multiple pressures from China, the United States, and the United Kingdom, and defeat is only a matter of time before Japan loses.

He did not quite understand why Stalin had chosen to form an alliance with Japan, an ally that would not be of the slightest help to the Soviet Union, and would even add to the chaos.

However, these are not the things you should think about now

"Comrade Stalin, Comrade Dimilenko begs to see you immediately."

At this time, a report interrupted their conversation, and Zhukov picked up the hat occupied on the table: "Comrade Stalin, then I'll go and prepare." ”

"Okay, Comrade Zhukov, I believe that you will be able to accomplish all miracles on the battlefield!" (To be continued......)
