Chapter 1144: 1145: The Approaching Doom
Balman has recently found himself in a precarious position, and his former monopoly among American Jews has now been transformed into advice and pleas. In order to maintain his own country, he put all his chips on the fact that the United States could win, and he therefore desperately campaigned for the United States to continue the war.
On the flat streets of Washington, his car didn't seem to shake violently, and he sat in the back of his car, holding a newspaper and trying to comfort himself. The newspaper, which was a few days ago, recorded the sinking of three Japanese destroyers by the U.S. Navy in the waters off Malaysia, which made him feel comfortable every time he read it.
"The Germans attacked the East Coast, and our people are already trying to figure out how to deal with it. Mr. Bowerman, you have donated another patrol destroyer, which has strengthened our forces a lot. In the passenger seat was an officer from the U.S. Navy who was in Balman's car to meet with a weakened President Roosevelt.
Now every news of victory, every inspiring thing, has the potential to change the direction of the entire battle, so everyone is working very hard and trying to carry out the cause they believe in to the end.
"There's nothing to boast about in my giving, and every American should do their part for the country. Bowerman replied casually that he would certainly not donate such a large sum of money for the United States, and that for the capitalist, all his expenses may be based on one reason, and that is his own needs. He needs prosperity on the East Coast of the United States, he needs the American fleet to regain control of the Atlantic, he needs the United States to keep fighting, and he needs that damn Israel on the Mediterranean to completely disappear from the face of the earth.
Even though it was a Jewish state, Boulman hated it so much, and the Jewish state that Enrique had built was more desperate than an anti-Jewish state, and he wished that he could bring down that country with his own hands, and then build a state of his own! Yes, Israel was not his country, but Enrique's - that's what he was thinking about.
Not doing something for the United States, that's not really what Bowerman really cared about, he had a lot of money, so much that it was frightening. Like Enrique in Germany, he was even able to manipulate the will of a part of the country to fulfill his personal ambitions. But when Enrique did what he didn't, his world was filled with gloom and despair. “”
"President Roosevelt has not been in good health lately, and our Navy has been doing well in the Pacific theater, but we really don't have much time. The naval officer looked back at the somewhat pale Balman and said, "What we need is a victory that can change the tide of the war, not a small advantage, as the newspapers say." ”
Bowerman nodded, he knew that the current victory could not get the United States out of the crisis, but it seemed that the Germans had now taken the initiative in all aspects, as long as they won the Battle of Moscow, the Germans could easily extend their tentacles to Asia and isolate the United States from the world.
......
While Balman was depressed and worried about German affairs, in the far Far East, Chuikov finally made up his mind to establish his own regime in the Far East. While the regime may eventually become a vassal of the Axis, the country may only be a second-rate state.
He contacted the various political forces in the Far East and received the support of the vast majority of them. He then contacted the distant Third Reich, where he received the support he had always dreamed of. At this time, he was eagerly preparing for the establishment of a Far Eastern country, and in response to his choice to ignore the Americans' contacts and questions.
"These American idiots, after something went wrong in Chelyabinsk, cut off support and supplies to me. Now that I've got assurances from the Germans, they're coming back and want me to work with them again?" Chuikov complained to a few of his henchmen in Komsomolsk.
"The Americans have no credibility in this regard, they are just fighting for their country. One of the staff members spoke in a deep voice next to Chuikov's desk: "They cut off our supplies, and there will be a second time. As soon as they let go, we'll be in a situation where we don't have any backup. ”
The words of this aide, who was born in the Far East, are very representative: the Americans stopped all supplies a few days ago because of the anti-water situation in Siberia, and this brought disastrous consequences to the combat operations of the Japanese Kwantung Army in the Far East, the fall of Haisenway, and the unprecedented predicament of the Far East in the war against the Japanese army.
After all these experiences, most people felt that following the Germans' arrangement, joining the Axis bloc, restoring peace with the mainstream countries of Western Europe, and then concentrating on war against Japan was a more tempting future. So Chuikov nodded, for him personally, in any case, with the help of the Third Reich, which won all the way, it was much better to become the head of the countries of the Far East than to suffer after the Americans.
If Stalin is completely killed in Moscow, then we will carry out our plan for statehood in the Far East. In the end, Chuikov was still quite jealous of Stalin's deterrent, and he most wanted to see the outcome of Stalin stepping down from the stage in Moscow, and then he successfully ascended to power in the Far East.
......
In the direction of Moscow, the German army has gathered all kinds of troops, and the heavy artillery bombards all the towering targets that can be seen at the observation posts in Moscow every day and night, and in order to make this place more suitable for German operations, some military generals have even decided to completely destroy Moscow. Bombers circled in the sky at all times, and at first there were fierce Soviet anti-aircraft artillery units returning fire, but after so many days of torture, the heavy fire in the city became more and more sparse.
The Soviet 203 and 152 mm caliber artillery ammunition was left after so many days of intense attrition. The various anti-aircraft guns originally deployed around the city were killed by the German army, while others had no choice but to retreat into the city and use them as anti-tank weapons or infantry support artillery.
In war, the losing side is always in a state of tearing down the east wall and making up the west wall. This was true of Germany in another time and space, and it was also true of the Soviet Union in this time-lapse. The streets were littered with the wreckage of burned cars and tanks, all destroyed by German artillery or bombers, which had been deployed in the city to be used in counterattacks against German street fighting troops on a street corner. However, due to the lack of camouflage materials and the excessive concentration of equipment, they were destroyed in batches by the long-range fire of the German army.
What is even more desperate is that Moscow is different from Stalingrad, which is an industrial city with all kinds of equipment for the maintenance of tanks and artillery, which provides a relatively better environment for the defending troops to repair their equipment. However, Moscow is a political center, not an industrial center, and there are no factories for the production of aircraft and cannons in the city, so a large number of weapons can only be hastily abandoned and stacked in a corner.
Behind the building of the Boris Gleb Church, in a small courtyard, there were all sorts of tanks, and next to a Stalin tank with various parts removed, there were several T-34s of the same fate and a dozen tank destroyers of various modifications of the T-26 chassis were parked.
All of this equipment has been dismantled, artillery and power plants have been removed, tracks and wheels are also incomplete, and these parts have basically been used to repair other equipment, and now the heavy weapons and equipment in Moscow can only be used in this way. Unfortunately, the end result of this approach was that there were fewer and fewer weapons to use, but for the Soviet defenders, there was no way to do it.
And this Boris-Gleb church is now the front line, and the infantry on both sides are desperately fighting for this dilapidated house, which has been destroyed by artillery. The dense sound of bullets did not disturb the few mechanics in the small courtyard behind the church, who were dismantling potentially useful parts from the already fragmented wreckage of the tank.
"Hurry up! we've got a few minutes, and we'll never be able to come back and get anything here!" a Soviet officer, the leader, bent over, reminding his men that not far in front of them, German soldiers were attacking the dilapidated door of the church, and had they had not been shot and killed by the German attacking grenadier troops.
"Comrade Company Commander! The Germans have already entered the house! Comrade Battalion Commander tells you to get out of here quickly!" A child with a rifle poked his head out of the window at the back of the church, loudly reminding his comrades in the small courtyard to get out of here, but judging by the position of this young child, it seemed that he had no chance to run downstairs now.
"Bastard!" the Soviet officer cursed, then waved at the workers who were carrying tools such as pliers and wrenches and carrying track screws and other parts on stretchers: "Let's get out of here!"
