Moscow, the capital of Russia. But now, the whole of Moscow has fallen into the siege of the German army. As the Russian army failed in a series of battles, the German army has successfully wiped out the main force of the Russian army. Although there are still a lot of troops left in the Russian army, most of them are newly mobilized troops. Many troops don't even have the equipment, let alone combat effectiveness.
The battle between several German army groups to encircle and annihilate the Russian Western Front and Northwest Front lasted for a full week before it ended. The Russian Northwest Front Army was wiped out. The commander, Admiral Kirponos, and others were all killed in battle. More than 200,000 troops from the Western Front successfully broke through, and Marshal Voroshilov and others were lucky enough to escape back to Moscow. However, with the loss of so many troops, Marshal Voroshilov and others may not be able to explain to Joseph.
Now, the German Army Group A, Army Group B, and Army Group C have surrounded Moscow from three directions: north, south, and west. As for the east of Moscow, the German army has not yet sent troops to block this direction. It's not that the German army doesn't have this ability. After all, the three German army groups add up to more than 8 million troops. Deducting the troops protecting the logistical supply lines and maintaining law and order in the occupied areas, at least five million combat troops can be assembled in Moscow. Therefore, the reason why the German army did not block the east of Moscow was entirely due to other reasons. In other words, the German army did this on purpose.
Millions of German soldiers came to Moscow. Although it is still resisted by the Russian army in the suburbs. However, everyone knows that once the German army launches an offensive, Moscow may become a hellish battlefield. Millions or even tens of millions of people from both sides will start a tragic fight here. It is not known how many people will die here. And this is the cruelty of war.
The Kremlin, Joseph's office.
Joseph summoned Marshal Shaposhnikov, Chief of the General Staff, General Zhukov, Commander of the Moscow Garrison, and Marshal Voroshilov, who had just escaped from the German encirclement. Although the Western Army has been completely lost, there are only more than 200,000 people. But Voroshilov was, after all, the Marshal of the Russian Army and a member of the Politburo.
"Comrade Joseph, I'm very sorry, I failed your expectations." Marshal Voroshilov looked guilty. Joseph put three million Russian troops into his hands, but he lost almost all of them in the end. Of course, Marshal Voroshilov also had troubles that he could not tell. It was not because of his personal reasons that the Russian army failed this time, but because the enemy was too powerful!
Joseph glanced at Marshal Voroshilov. Although he was very angry, he still didn't reprimand him. After all, Marshal Voroshilov's qualifications in the Russian army are quite deep, and he has served as the People's Commissar of National Defense for many years, which can be said to be deeply rooted. If you die in the encirclement of the German army, then forget it. Now that he came back alive, his influence will undoubtedly continue to be exerted. With such a great external threat, Joseph did not want to cause internal struggles anymore. If that is the case, it will only make Russia perish faster.
"Comrade Voroshilov, it's not your fault, the Germans are really too powerful!" Joseph said. Anyway, he didn't intend to let Marshal Voroshilov take power anymore, so he didn't want to hold him accountable anymore. If this causes conflicts, it is not worthwhile.
Marshal Voroshilov nodded, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief. After returning to Moscow, what he feared most was that he would be liquidated by Joseph. After all, with Joseph's character, he will never be soft when dealing with those defeated generals. Now, finally relieved.
Joseph's eyes fell on Marshal Shaposhnikov and General Zhukov. Now that the German army is heavily besieging the city, this is the biggest threat. One bad word could lead to the downfall of Bu Russia. Even his safety is not guaranteed.
"Now, millions of German troops have arrived in Moscow, what should we do?" Joseph asked.
"Comrade Joseph, the three German Army Groups A, B, and C have surrounded us from the north, west, and south of Moscow. I am afraid they will launch an attack soon. It is foreseeable that a fierce battle will It was staged in Moscow. Although we will try our best to resist the German attack here, use street fighting to eliminate the Germans' effective forces. Even try to defeat the Germans. However, the Germans are too powerful, much stronger than us. Therefore, we have to prepare for the worst," General Zhukov said.
Joseph frowned. Of course he knew what the so-called worst-case plan was. But of course he didn't want that to happen. If possible, he certainly hopes that the Russian army can hold Moscow. Moreover, Moscow was used to foil the German conspiracy.
"Comrade Joseph, take advantage of the fact that the German army has not completely surrounded Moscow. I suggest that you and the state agencies evacuate Moscow. Evacuate to a safe area east of the Ural Mountains. As long as your safety is not threatened, you can continue to command the Russian military and civilian resistance German invasion," Admiral Zhukov suggested.
"No, I will never leave Moscow!" Joseph shook his head immediately.
Perhaps when this war just broke out, Joseph did not expect that the situation of the war would develop like this. Therefore, he never thought that one day Moscow would become a battlefield. However, this is the capital of Bu'e after all, how embarrassing it is for him to evacuate here!
What's more, Joseph is also worried, if he leaves Moscow, will anyone still listen to his words? So, he didn't want to leave here.
"Comrade Joseph, Moscow is about to become a battlefield. It's too dangerous for you to stay here. The Germans mobilized heavy troops to surround Moscow this time, obviously wanting to capture Moscow. Once the Germans surround Moscow on all sides If you don’t, then you won’t be able to leave even if you want to.” Marshal Shaposhnikov also persuaded him.
If Joseph is willing to leave Moscow, then he, the Chief of Staff, can undoubtedly leave with Joseph. In that case, it will undoubtedly be relatively safer. But if you continue to stay in Moscow, once Moscow falls, wouldn't it be a dead end? The German army eliminated the Northwest Front Army and the Western Front Army so smoothly. This made Shaposhnikov see the strength of the German Army. He really had no confidence in the Russian Army's defense of Moscow.
