Chapter 914 Retaliation 1)
At the beginning, Britain and the Soviet Union reached a secret agreement, hoping to use the Soviet Union to restrain Germany and put Germany in a situation of fighting on both sides. For this reason, Britain even planned to ced India.
The Soviet Union also planned to perfunctorily treat the British to create some minor frictions in Brest, but then a military conflict with Finland broke out, and this friction was not taken into action.
At that time, it was Khrushchev's proposal, and now Khrushchev has proposed it again.
In this regard, the Soviet Union was rational. After all, according to the agreement to divide Poland in advance, the Brest Fortress belonged to the Soviet Union.
Now, the facts are very clear. Germany has played a great role in the conflict between the Soviet Union and Finland, and Germany has been supporting Finland behind the scenes!
Germany once again went back on its word!
At the beginning, Germany had promised not to support any weapons in Finland, and the Soviet Union even told the German side of the process of ammonium nitrification explosives. Although it had received a lot of food, it was Germany's begging for it after all.
I thought Germany would keep its promises, but who knew that the Germans were getting too far.
In this case, the Germans must be taught some lessons!
Hearing Khrushchev's words, Kuznetsov, who was standing by, couldn't help but speak out: "No, if this is the case, the Germans will tear up all the agreements with us at any time, and our aircraft carrier will not be able to come back."
Now, the aircraft carrier manufactured by Germany for the Soviet Union has entered the final sea trial stage. As long as the sea trial is completed, it can be equipped with the Red Navy. The navy is looking forward to waiting for the aircraft carrier to enter service.
If there is a conflict with Germany now, the Germans will tear up the agreement at any time!
"We have always been tied to these agreements. The stupidest idea to develop cooperation with Germany was the fault of that idiot Tukhachevsky!" Khrushchev said loudly.
Yes, when he signed various agreements with Germany, Tukhachevsky played the leading role. Khrushchev seemed to have forgotten that he had also played a role in promoting it. He even went to Berlin to negotiate, and he even forgot that these agreements were actually decided by Stalin.
In recent years, every time I want to have conflicts with Germany, these agreements and these warships have made the Soviet Union unable to let go. Now, watching Germany make trouble in Finland, should we tolerate it again?
"Since it's a sea test, I think our navy can take advantage of the sea test to drive the aircraft carrier back!" a voice said.
Budonny, the most prestigious cavalry marshal, thought that starting an aircraft carrier was as simple as riding a horse?
The sea test was conducted in the North Sea, Germany, right next to the shipyard, so the fuel would not be added too much, and it would not be enough to start the operation. Moreover, since it was a sea test, it must be that there were all kinds of problems on the aircraft carrier, and it needed to return to the factory from time to time for repair. If it was started, could the shipyard of our side complete this task?
Everything is unknown.
However, this obviously gave Stalin a way of thinking. Stalin said lightly: "Yes, I'll give our navy's orders to drive this aircraft carrier back. Anyway, this aircraft carrier is also the property of our Soviets, and the Germans have no right to stop it."
In this world, no one can bully the Soviets! Since Germany has repeatedly stumbling behind their backs, don’t blame the Soviets for taking action!
"According to our reconnaissance, so far, there is only one infantry battalion guarding the Fortress, with no more than three thousand people. If we mobilize an infantry division to snatch the fortress, we will be able to seize it." Khrushchev continued: "Let the Germans know that no one belongs to our Soviets can take it away. At the same time, with the Fortress of Brest, we can better guard our borders. Now, with Germany's strength, they may expand eastward at any time."
Khrushchev's words finally moved Stalin. It was indeed true that the strong fortress could serve as a bridgehead for his own and German defense lines.
Germany has completed its expansion westward, will they invade eastward?
During the battle in Poland, Germany and the Soviet Union worked closely together, but now, the relationship between the two countries is already shaky.
Through the capture of the Brest Fortress, we will show Germany its combat capabilities and warn the Germans not to act rashly and intimidate the Germans!
Stalin was not blinded by anger, he had his own strategic considerations.
The battle in Finland was very difficult. Will the Germans think that the Soviet Union was a softie? If in the eyes of the Germans, the Soviet Union, like France and Britain, were both strong outside and strong at the outside and had a middle-level battle, then the Soviet Union would indeed be in danger.
Unlike the cold Finland, the Polish climate is very suitable for the Soviet army. Unexpectedly, they seized the fortress, demonstrated the capabilities of their own troops, and shocked the Germans!
At the same time, teach the Germans a lesson!
"Okay, I agree to the offensive plan against Fort Brest." Stalin said: "No accidents this time!"
"At least we have to dispatch an army of 50,000 to mobilize more than 200 tanks and armored vehicles. It is best to use cannons to deal with such fortresses. Yes, we will mobilize at least 500 cannons and 300 aircraft. I want the troops to take the fortress in the shortest time!"
In fact, the Soviets have formulated plans for the Brest battle several times, but the first few times were mainly to create friction, and they exchanged fire with the Germans in the Brest battle, but now, to seize the fortress, more troops are needed!
It is not as difficult as Finland, and the troops are very easy to mobilize. You should know that in order to obtain the Soviet iron ore, the Germans also helped the Soviet build a special railway. The end point within the Soviet territory is near the Brest Fortress, so it is easy to mobilize the army!
Even so, the scale proposed by Stalin will take about a week to mobilize comprehensively, and it must be foolproof!
Stalin looked at the people around him and his eyes finally fell on someone.
"Brother Timuxin, go and command."
Brother Timuxin nodded, he had to do the work of wiping his butt.
At the beginning, the Soviet army and the German army met in Brest and held a joint military parade in Brest. At that time, Timushingo was the commander-in-chief. It can be said that Timushingo did not bring back the Brest Fortress. Since it was his fault, let him go and ask him back now!
Historically, after the Soviet Union was frustrated in the Soviet-Finn War, Timuxinge was mobilized to become the commander of the Northwest Front Army to command the Soviet-Finn War. But now, Timuxinge has a more important task to regain face for the Soviets!
"Khrushchev, you go with me, too." Stalin said.
