Chapter five hundred and fourteen
In order to get ahead of the Berlin, the Americans and the British have done a lot of work, especially the United States, who have invested a lot of resources in the Normandy Landing Plan. It is not surprising that Britain has no power now, and in this case, they naturally can only rely on the United States itself. // Update as fast as 78xs.//
On the other hand, the Russians also made some cooperation...
"Where has the troops been advanced now?"
In the Kremlin in Moscow, Stalin, with a very conspicuous beard, bites his pipe and asks his subordinates.
"It has been advanced into Poland..."
Hearing Stalin's words, an official on the side quickly replied
"Um"
After biting the pipe, Stalin nodded
Compared with the past, Stalin has obviously become much older
This is not surprising. After the victory of the Moscow Battle, although the entire battle was not commanded by Stalin, because Stalin was somewhat nominal leader at that time, some of the halos were still on Stalin, which also made Stalin, who was unstable due to the Great Purge and Germany's invasion of the Soviet Union re-stabilized his position.
However, because Stalin then replaced Zhukov and replaced him with another person who reassured him, the Russian army was hit hard by the German army again, Stalin's status began to become unstable again.
Although Stalin once again placed Zhukov as commander, and the help of the Chinese made Moscow safe, Stalin's status could no longer be restored to its original position.
In fact, Stalin had already opened a lot of killings in order to maintain his current position alone, killing hundreds of people against him in Moscow alone. Otherwise, it would be difficult to say whether he could still stand in this position.
but…
As long as you can survive and survive the war, I believe Stalin doesn't need to be in the position.
After all, as long as the war is won, all problems will no longer be problems.
"How long will it take to advance into Germany?"
"It's not clear that the Germans' resistance is very fierce, but it will probably take about half a month as soon as possible. After all, Poland is hundreds of miles from east to west..."
After annexing Poland, it was the land of the Germans, but for the Russians, it was still Poland, or for some Russians, it was the future Russian territory. After China seized most of the territory, the Russians were now even hungry about the land.
So naturally, the Russians set their sights on Poland's land
As for those that originally belonged to Russia?
It’s not that Russians don’t want to take it back. In fact, for the past twenty years, the Russians have always wanted to get back their lands. The Russians were not as strong as China at that time. Now in the war, their own strength has been severely damaged by the Germans, and the Russians are even less sure...
So at least in a short time, the Russians gave up
In fact, there is nothing we can do if we don't give up. After all, it is not the time for Russia to anger China.
You should know that Russia is unprecedentedly weak now. If it really turns against China, let alone Siberia, even the other side of the Ural Mountain may not be able to maintain it.
"Tell Zhukov to let him delay as quickly as possible..."
After walking around the office twice, Stalin, who took off his pipe, looked at his men and walked down.
"this…"
The official was surprised, but didn't say much, but nodded directly
Although Stalin's status is not as stable as before, there are not many who dare to anger Stalin after killing hundreds of people some time ago.
Of course, not much does not mean it's all like this, so someone stood up and said
"But Comrade Stalin, isn't it a great time to kill all the Germans?"
World War II was the most casualties in history. There were about 70 million deaths in the war. During World War II, Russia was the worst casualties. During the war, the Soviet Union died about 28 million; China died about 18 million; the United States died in a total of 420,000 deaths; Britain died in a total of 400,000 deaths; France died more than 800,000 deaths, of which civilians accounted for the majority.
At least 130 million others were injured, with a total of 190 million casualties
As for Germany, 28 million people were killed or injured, Japan, 6.9 million people were killed or injured, and Italy, 700,000 people were killed or injured.
Let me explain it again here that the so-called casualties are actually a combination of injury and death. It does not mean that casualties are equivalent to death, but injury and casualties, so a considerable number of casualties are injured, not all of them are dead.
In later generations, Yan Guang often saw many people regarding 35 million casualties as deaths. At that time, Yan Guang himself was speechless because after they said this, China suddenly died more than 10 million...
On the other hand, it was precisely because Russia had such great casualties at that time that almost everyone in Russia hated the Germans to the core. After all, Russia died in this war, and even female soldiers had to go on the battlefield in the end.
Of course, I would ask questions because Stalin's prestige has indeed declined a lot now. Otherwise, few people would have dared to talk to Stalin like this in the past.
In the past, Stalin established himself and Lenin's personality cult in the Soviet Union. He ignored Lenin's widow Krupskaya's objection and placed Lenin's body in a crystal coffin for people to pay homage to Stalin himself. He was once the center of large-scale respect and even worship. Some towns, rural and urban cities were named after him, such as Stalingrad, Stalin's Peace Prize, etc. This personality cult reached its peak after the victory of the Soviet-German War. Stalin's name was also written into the new Soviet national anthem. He also became the focus of various cultural works such as poetry, music, painting, and film. Trotsky once criticized Stalin's personality cult, believing that establishing such personality cult puts personal value above the party and class, and violates the value of socialism, so that no one can make personal criticism of Stalin, and the fact is indeed the case.
"Indeed..." Stalin nodded, "Now is indeed a great time to kill all the Germans, but which one do you think we, or the Chinese, can enter Berlin first?"
"This..." The official pondered when he heard Stalin say this, "It's probably Chinese..."
Although Russians are arrogant many times, they still have a clear understanding of the current situation. That is, if there is no Chinese help, let alone reverse the reversal of the German territory, it is probably a difficult thing to say whether Moscow can be kept.
Later, Yakov served as the captain and commander of the artillery company of the Soviet Red Army's Western Front Army during the Soviet-German War. In 1941, he was captured by the German army in the Battle of Smolensk. Later, the German army proposed to exchange Yakov for the captured Marshal Friedrich Paulus, and was stating that "I will not exchange a general for a soldier", "I do not have a son named Yakov" and "You are not just my son Yakov, but millions of people are my sons. Either they are all released or Yakov shared the same fate with them." The answer was flatly rejected by Yakov, who rushed to the 380-volt grid in the German prisoner camp.
In 1919, 41-year-old Stalin got married again. His second wife, Nadezhda Alilueva, was only 18 years old at the time. She later gave birth to a son Vasily Jugashvili and a daughter Svetlana Alilueva, on November 8, 2019. After accompanying Stalin to a dinner, Nadezhda was found committing suicide in his bedroom the next day, and there was a revolver next to him.
Officials claimed that her death was appendicitis. Some people believed that Nadezhda and Stalin had political differences, and were bothered by her husband's debauchery and rudeness, so they chose to shoot themselves in grief and anger. Some people believed that Stalin murdered his wife himself, or that Nadezhda's brother, whom he ordered to kill, died soon after, which deepened people's doubts about the cause of Nadezhda's death. These also show that Stalin was a real lonely person.
————————————————————
After receiving Stalin's secret order, Zhukov quickly understood what Stalin meant
It is absolutely impossible to say that Zhukov has no complaints about Stalin. After all, it is entirely because of Stalin that there are so many situations on the battlefield. It is precisely because of Stalin that the Russian ** team is in a state of being a vassal, although it is not a so-called soy sauce, but also a vassal.
But Zhukov is also a person who takes the overall situation into consideration. He knows that China's threat to Russia is definitely greater than that of capitalist countries like Britain and the United States, or even Germany.
After all, neither Britain, the United States nor Germany have the ability to swallow Russia in one bite because Russia is so big that none of the above-mentioned countries have this appetite.
But China is different, because China's land area is definitely not inferior to Russia, and most importantly, China's more than 800 million people just happen to be able to swallow Russia.
You should know that at that time, Russia's population was only more than 100 million. After losing tens of millions, now there are only 100 million people left. Such a small population is not a simple and easy task to protect such a large territory of Russia.
In 1939, Russia's population was about 175 million, and it was more than 20 million after the war ended, and only 140 million was left. Although Russia's area is as big as China, it would be much worse than China's population.
