Six hundred and seventy-four.(2/3)
Anna and Dimilenko gasped at the same time.
God, Marshal Timuxin! This is an impossible task. Since he returned to Moscow, he has been under strict surveillance, and Stalin has repeatedly asked about Timuxin's current situation. If it weren't for his respectability, he would have been shot by Stalin long ago.

Now, the Skeleton Baron is actually going to rescue him?
Dimirenko suddenly thought, did even people like Temuxin collude with the Germans?
If this is true, then I should be glad that I have a friend like Skeleton Baron.
.

"Baron, I don't want to help you, but there are too many difficulties." Dimirenko said honestly: "The place where he was detained is tightly defended. Of course, you can also rescue people by attacking. I believe you have such a way... But what should I do after he is rescued? Now, everyone who leaves Moscow will be severely investigated... Unless I am willing to expose myself... Wait, wait, wait, why not do this?"
Dimirenko's eyes lit up: "Ah, I understand, Baron, do you want to take us away together?"
"Yes, my friend." Wang Weiyi smiled: "I said that the artillery fire is about to cover here, and you are my friends. I don't want my friends to be hurt in the artillery fire, so take your children and leave Moscow, a place full of dangers with me."
Anna and Dimirenko exchanged glances with each other, and then Dimirenko asked, "Baron, do you have a specific plan?"
Wang Weiyi nodded: "Yes, I have considered it carefully. What we must do...."
He told his plan in detail. When Wang Weiyi's last word was settled, Dimilenko and Anna actually laughed.
.

.
Such a bold and crazy plan, probably only the Skeleton Baron could think of it.
The whole plan is crazy, but it is simple. In fact, the simpler the plan, the more likely it is to succeed.
"We must act at the same time." Wang Weiyi said slowly: "Anna, you are mainly responsible for taking your children to the address we agreed upon. Remember, the grasp of time is very important. And you, Dimilenko, you can act as a whistleblower..."
Dimirenko was a little worried: "Baron, in fact, your part is the most dangerous in the whole plan. What if you are really surrounded? Our whole plan will fail because of this. Moreover, I cannot bear such a responsibility."
"Don't worry, hundreds of thousands of Soviet troops could not catch me on the battlefield, needless to say, here." Wang Weiyi was confident: "And we have a very advantageous place. Stalin's suspicion. He would not trust you so easily..."
Dimirenko no longer hesitated. Since the Baron even had the character and temper of Stalin so clearly, then hand it over to the Baron.
He knew very well what it would mean for himself and Anna if this plan really succeeded.

"Comrade Stalin, the situation is very serious now." Zhukov's face looked very serious: "After the defeat of the Battle of Stalingrad, the German army successfully crossed the Volga River, and Comrade Huasilevsky was unable to stop the enemy."
Stalin held his pipe in his mouth, his face full of dissatisfaction: "I'm very curious, what is Comrade Vasilevsky thinking? Why can't he stop the enemy? Why did he suffer repeated failures on the battlefield? Should he carefully examine himself?"
In the entire Soviet Union, Zhukov was probably the only one who dared to confront Stalin in person.
When he heard Stalin's criticism of Huasilevsky, Zhukov immediately said without hesitation: "Comrade Stalin, although Comrade Huasilevsky made some mistakes on the battlefield, I think the main responsibility lies with us. He successfully completed the siege of the German army in the Delek River, but you assigned Voroshilov as the commander-in-chief of the front line. We all know that although Voroshilov fought bravely, he did not have the ability to command hundreds of thousands of troops. He sacrificed the lives of the soldiers for nothing, and he was the one who should bear the main responsibility...."
Stalin's face turned pale, and Zhukov was not polite to say anything.
.
.
.
.
.
The appointment of Voroshilov as the commander-in-chief of the front enemy was made by Stalin himself. Zhukov firmly opposed this appointment at that time, but Stalin strongly rejected Zhukov's opinion. Now it seems that Zhukov is correct.
However, Stalin didn't like Zhukov's attitude. He always contradicted himself again and again, and even almost forced himself to cancel his post as a political commissar in the Soviet army and changed to the responsibility system of military chief officers.
Forced - in this Soviet, Zhukov dares to do this
However, although Stalin was angry with Zhukov's attitude, he had no idea of persecuting him, because he knew that no one could compare to Zhukov's loyalty to him in the entire Soviet Union.
Even if the whole Soviet Union betrayed himself one day, Zhukov would never do such a thing.
.
.
.
.
.
I did make some wrong decisions, such as the appointment of Voroshilov.
Now, Stalingrad has fallen into the hands of the Germans, and Moscow lacks the most favorable barrier to prevent the Germans from moving forward.
Moreover, after capturing Stalingrad, the German army quickly launched a strong attack on the Volga River. Judging from the forces controlled by Vasilevsky, there was no way to stop the Germans.
Stalin didn't want to punish Huasilevsky anyway. He said that he just wanted to vent his anger and shift the responsibility to his subordinates.
But in front of Zhukov, he could not even do this.
.
.
.
.
.
"So, tell me, Comrade Zhukov, what should we do now?" Stalin said with a gloomy face.
"The German army is advancing fiercely towards Moscow, and it is the three main corps of the German army, Ernst combat cluster, Manstein cluster and Guderian cluster." Zhukov immediately interfered: "These three clusters have a force of 2 million to 2.4 million, well-equipped and highly morale. In the previous series of battles, the Red Army suffered heavy losses. I do not think we still have the possibility of victory in a short period of time. Now I ask you to lead the main Soviet party and government organs to evacuate to Leningrad immediately. I will personally command the army and the enemy to launch the Moscow defense battle!"
"Comrade Zhukov, you must evacuate with me!" Stalin said quickly.
"Comrade Stalin, someone must be in command here." Zhukov seemed to have not taken into consideration his safety: "I want to fight the German army here!"
Stalin understood what he meant.
.
.
.
.
.
The Soviet Union's losses were so heavy that it was unacceptable. The newly formed legions had no combat power at all. Moreover, even if the Soviet factories opened enough machines, they could not make up for the losses on the battlefield.
This place will indeed become the last battlefield.
If Zhukov could not stop the German capture of Moscow, the German army would soon begin attacking Leningrad. But on the contrary, if Zhukov staged a miracle here, the whole battle situation might be reversed.
Even though the possibility of such a miracle is too small.
.

It seems that Zhukov decided to fight the enemy here. The cold Stalin couldn't help but feel a little moved.
