The speaker is one of the leaders of the Moscow defense battle. General Sukolovsky, in his 50s, is tall and is lying in his pipe.

After he said this, everyone in the room looked at General Gromakin, and many people had the same questions as Sukrovsky.

Stalin looked at General Gromakin without saying anything, but his originally frown frowned again.

"Chinese pilot?" Another member of the Zheng Zhi, Lieutenant General Malankin, also held a huge pipe in his mouth. He had a big beard unique to the Soviets in this era. "As far as I know, before that, Chinese pilots were taught by our Soviet instructors. Is it a bit like asking his apprentice to perform such a major task this time..." Lieutenant General Malankin paused, and finally he wanted to speak, looking at General Gromakin with inquiries in his eyes, and then looked at Stalin again.

Stalin still didn't speak.

General Gromakin Stalin had trust, otherwise he would not have given him the defense over Moscow, but it was indeed a bit puzzling to let Gromakin let the Chinese pilot be the commander of this top-secret mission.

Although people always make mistakes, it is unforgivable to make mistakes at this moment when the Soviet Union was insurmountable.

Stalin looked at General Gromakin with bright eyes. Since everyone had doubts about this matter, let Gromakin explain that the war was ahead and the distrust of the officers was a taboo.

Sukolovsky lit his pipe and sucked it out loud: "Chinese pilots are students of Soviet instructors, and most of their previous fighter jets were also assisted by us.

Since we withdrew all Air Force instructors and Volunteer Pilots from China last year, the Chinese Air Force's strength has taken a sharp decline. With the strong attack of the Japanese, it has returned to the bottom after the Battle of Shanghai in 1937.

I really can't imagine what kind of excellent pilots they can develop themselves." After saying that, he kept shaking his head.

General Konev, who had not spoken, suddenly asked: "General Gromakin, what is the name of the Chinese pilot you are talking about?"

General Gromakin knew what Konev meant. This person had a little holiday with him in private. Now he asked this question, he had ulterior motives.

"His name is Zhou Zhihan, he is a colonel. He has outstanding air combat skills and strong tactical skills. He is a rare talent."

General Gromakin replied.

He had always believed in Zhou Zhihan, and he also believed that Zhou Zhihan would do his best, because Zhou Zhihan represented not himself at this time, but the Chinese Air Force.

General Konev nodded: "I heard that he is the ace pilot you are coming from China?"

As soon as General Konev said this, everyone looked at Gromakin with a strange look.

hehe!

Hahaha!

No wonder you support this person so much. It turns out that it was the ace you General Gromakin named.

Lieutenant General Marantin said: "As far as I know, many of our Soviet ace pilots are famous, such as the Soviet hero Yumashev's outstanding skills and has made many outstanding achievements.

For example, the test pilot Mark Jalay, who shot down a Stuka bomber for the first time he flew into the sky, as well as Major Pisanko and Captain Naganko, each of them can stand alone and take on the big responsibility!"

General Gromakin naturally knew what everyone was thinking. Faced with everyone's doubts, he had a clear conscience: "Since our night fight fighter unit has just been established, the team members' night fight ability still needs more experience to take on the great responsibilities. For safety reasons, I specially assigned this Chinese ace pilot to lead the group to take off before dawn and pick up Marshal Zhukov!"

General Konev's face was full of displeasure: "You mean, we Soviet night combat pilots are not as capable as Chinese pilots? As far as I know, Chinese pilots don't know what they are overnight fighters."

His words were too obvious. Chinese pilots didn't know what they had to fight on planes overnight. What qualifications were they qualified to be the commander of this operation?

"You are talking about the past." General Gromakin was not impatient in the face of everyone's doubts. "Now there are hurricanes in the night battle in China. Although there are not many, under the command of Colonel Zhou Zhihan, several beautiful victories were fought, especially when they bombed the Japanese Nanning Airport at night, destroying more than 200 Japanese fighter bombers, and causing the Japanese to ask their allies for the technology of night battle fighter jets. During the Dunkirk retreat, Colonel Zhou almost opened up a closest escape path for the British Allied Forces."

General Gromakin changed his subject: "Just in the Kiev breakthrough battle not long ago, Zhou Zhihan led our Soviet fighter fleet to defeat the more with fewer and assisted General Potalov's Fifth Army to break out of the German encirclement at the critical moment. If it weren't for him, it would be difficult for the 5,000 troops of the Fifth Army to break out."

As soon as General Gromakin finished speaking, a look of surprise appeared on his face, including Stalin.

"What?" The Soviet Chief of Staff Marshal Shaboshnikov, who had not spoken, took off the pipe he was holding in his mouth. "You said that the commander of the fighter unit that assisted the Fifth Army with more than 5,000 people and jumped out of the German encirclement was a Chinese pilot?"

General Gromakin: "It's this person! Major Pisanko, Captain Yumashev, and Mark Jalay participated in the battle. In this top-secret flight early this morning, Pisanko and Yumashev also participated."

Stalin's frown loosened a little when he heard this. He had been worried about Zhukov's safety and had not slept all night last night.

General Gromakin continued: "Because the experienced pilots of our army suffered heavy losses in the early stages of the war, many young pilots actually felt afraid of war when they heard the famous German ace flying. So I specially invited Zhou Zhihan, who was very skilled from China, to let him suppress the arrogant and domineering arrogance of the German ace pilots, so that our young pilots knew that the Luftwaffe was not invincible."

If General Gromakin had put this in the past, it would definitely bring great criticism. The marshal and generals would question him why he became more ambitious and destroyed his own power.

But at that time, the current Soviet Union was defeated again and again under the powerful German offensive. If Moscow fell, it would have a huge blow to the people's confidence in resisting Germany.

Not long ago, in order to slow down the German strong offensive, Stalin, who never asked for help, specifically requested British Prime Minister Churchill to launch an attack on the Western Front to restrain the German army. After Churchill declined, Stalin turned to Britain and the United States for weapons support. These requests would never have happened in the past.

It can be seen from this that the Soviet Red Army was defeated again and again. When Moscow fell into crisis, the Soviets were no longer proud.

Stalin took off his pipe from his mouth: "Comrade Gromakin's approach is very good. We must now unite all the just countries in the world to deal with the enemy together. Invite Chinese pilots to come and participate in our Justice Battle, which will help unite among all the just countries in the world."

Hearing the Supreme Commander's speech, all the doubts about General Gromakin disappeared.
