"Comrade Zhukov! Before making such a decision, I need you to really understand what you are doing and what you are saying. ↗," Stalin said, staring at his trusted men, and spoke slowly. As he spoke, the characteristic beard on his mouth trembled, and he looked majestic.
Zhukov swallowed, looked at Stalin's eyes, and finally explained daringly: "Comrade Stalin, I personally sent you to the Far East to commit crimes. I can have today, but also your selfless help. . So I completely thought about the issue from your perspective before I proposed this plan. "
He wiped the sweat on his forehead with a handkerchief, and then said to Stalin with a trembling voice: "The main force of the 25 divisions is going south. This plan is our only anti-mobile phone meeting now. If this plan can no longer stop the Germans Offense, then I think, you really have to think about the worst outcome. "
"The worst result?" Stalin seemed to be asking himself and Zhu Zhufu, but he didn't wait for Zhu Kefu to give the answer, because he dared to tell Zhu Kefu some courage, he did not dare to say those in front of Stalin Terrible results come.
The worst result is to lose the war. This result is unacceptable to the Soviet Union, but the most fatal is that this result is even more unacceptable to Stalin.
If the Soviet Union accepts the defeat, it must recognize the legitimacy of the German occupation zone. Even the entire Soviet Union must lose its original path and go to the capitalist family to go into turmoil and become a poor country. And backward areas.
Of course, Stalin ’s personal ending may be even more miserable. As far as the entire nation is concerned, he may be the first leader to lose his territory and surrender to foreigners. This charge is enough for him to bear the burden and become the most repugnant in the short history of the Soviet Union. leader.
Even more terrifying is that the political enemies who were exiled to Siberia will liquidate him, and with the support of Germany, a powerful opponent, liquidate him Stalin. His ending will be absolutely miserable. When he loses his power, he will lose his life.
"I will not give up the power in my hand, Comrade Zhukov." Stalin looked at his men, his mood was complicated, because he was once the most powerful person in this country, but now, he must bear the whole country, come Face more powerful intruders.
"Because of that, I will be framed by those traitors and shameless villains. My life cannot be given to these people to comment on, do you understand? My most loyal Comrade Zhukov." Stalin finally considered it before he could He said to Zhukov, "Do you understand?"
Zhukov, of course, understands that since he received the news that Marshal Voroshilov, who had had gratitude for him, was killed in the Crimean Peninsula, he knew that the great Soviet leader in front of him, Comrade Stalin, could not tolerate any form. Betrayed. What he wants is absolute control and absolute power, no one can question it.
"Great leader Comrade Stalin. I understand what you mean, and I support your ideas." Zhukov immediately expressed his attitude: "My loyalty to you has never been a little bit shaken. The current situation faces us very much Not good, but I firmly believe that under your leadership, we will eventually achieve a decisive victory. "
After he expressed his heartfeltness, he began to say that he wanted to gain command of the operation: "Our armored forces must gather to go south, and while the oil reserves in our hands are still sufficient, we must preemptively fight and consume Stalingrad. The main force of the German army nearby. Only in this way can we have life! "
Zhukov already has a lot of detailed information in his hands. He is very sure that there is not much oil in the hands of the A Group Army under General Marshal Lundstedt and the F Group Army of General Klug. These pieces of information have been counter-copied through many channels. Zhukov believes that this is not groundless.
Then he boldly came up with a solution, one he felt was very feasible. It is in this situation that taking the initiative to assemble troops, first concentrate the superior forces in the southern region, and fight a strategic decisive battle, regardless of the outcome, is now the best response the Soviets can choose.
The Soviet Union ’s response measures are nothing more than a tactic of dragging the word, hoping that the war will be delayed until its own supplementary personnel are in place, and then a strategic decisive battle will be carried out. However, this trick was seen by the Germans, so the Germans used a strategy of rapid decisive battle in Stalingrad.
This caused a terrible fact: once the Germans completed their strategic deployment, even if the Soviets finally formed a military advantage, they could not obtain the first hand in the future war. The Baku oil field has been lost, and there are tens of millions of tanks. , How can?
Moreover, Stalingrad's feedback proves a terrible fact that the city street fighting that the Germans have been circumventing is not actually a weakness of the Germans. At least in the process of fighting consumption, the Germans have maintained their advantages. This made the Soviet army lose more than expected in actual combat.
Once the Soviets lost too much in the subsequent defensive operations, it is really unknown what kind of role their replenishment soldiers can play. Rather than sitting still, it is better to come up with a better way to deal with a series of changes on the front line now.
So, Zhukov developed a bold defense plan: he decided to hand over the defense to the mixed army of recruits and infantry, and dragged the German a and f group armies in Lundstadt and Kluger. Then the main armored troops quickly went south, forming an absolute advantage in the southern region against the Germans.
Then from the flanks, the g group army and the n group army, which hit the German army, completed the attack plan, saved Stalingrad, and made the German m army south feel the pressure and gave up the strategic plan to attack the Baku oil field.
Concentrating more than 80% of the Soviet tanks on the southern front, assaulting the Germans in a dense combat cluster, gritting their teeth against the losses, and nibbling the main forces of the southern front of the Germans, in order to defeat the Germans' seizure of the Baku oil field Attempt. Zhukov believes that only in this way can the Soviet Union continue to maintain and maintain the current situation.
Since waiting to replenish troops is to gain superiority in strength, is it not a simpler and faster way to mobilize troops actively to form a larger local superiority? This is Zhukov's idea: to concentrate superior forces and start counterattack operations in the south in advance.
"Without Moscow, everything will be shaken by those who oppose me. If I lose my life, you will be killed. Because in the eyes of those people, you are already my faithful man." Stalin stared. Zhukov did n’t seem to hear his analysis of the battle situation, but just stated in a slightly woody tone:
You ca n’t do without me, or it ’s a dead word. You really think it ’s fun to lose Moscow Thing? "
This is certainly not a fun thing, especially for Stalin personally. The foundation of his rule is in Moscow, and his personal prestige also depends on the control of important cities such as Moscow. Now if any of these cities loses one, it is an unprecedented blow to his personal prestige.
Those who oppose him will use this to make a fuss. The enemies outside are not terrible. What is scary is that the Soviet Union will have cracks inside. This is where Stalin is most afraid. This is why he insists that the Soviet army must hold Moscow Lening. There are also reasons for Stalingrad.
"Comrade Stalin, in case you lose Moscow, you have only lost part of your prestige. As long as the army is still there, as long as we can continue to fight for the motherland, then everything can be recovered." Zhu Kefu did not know where the courage came from. Stalin said: "But once we lose oil, we will lose everything. At that time, let alone a few cities, we will eventually lose it, the entire Soviet Union!"
Stalin, of course, knew that his current situation was in a dilemma. In private, he also regretted that he was so overjoyed that he couldn't stand the temptation of his people, and pushed Khrushchev and Voroshilov to the front, leading to the defeat of Poland thing. In private, he also felt that it was very irrational to force Zhukov to fight back against the Germans in the winter. But as a leader, he will not admit these things, no matter who he is, he will not easily lower his high head.
Once he also asked himself why the German head of state interfered in the military, and every time he could get unexpected results; and his great leader of the Soviet Union, every time he reached out to the military field, he always made the ending change. Be more pessimistic. Unfortunately, there is no right answer to this kind of question itself? Unless Stalin admits himself, it is not as good as the head of Germany, but this is obviously impossible.
Thinking of the head of state, Stalin seemed to think of something. He looked at Zhukov and finally agreed to the plan of the attack: "Since your dedicated military commander thinks it is good to do this, then I will support your plan. I hope you can win in this final decisive battle, go, get the Germans out of the Soviet Union! "
When he said this, his fist was tightly pressed, and the head of state could do well to his generals, and Stalin could do it. Since his Stalin and German Akado are destined to become rivals, at least in the last battle, he must give his men enough room to play, just like the German generals! c
