Age of Conquest Reborn

Chapter 2179 Want to move the capital?

Stalin had absolute trust in Molotov. Among the important members of the Central Committee of the Soviet Communist Party, Stalin was the only one who had always fought side by side with him and did not hesitate at every critical stage of the bloody struggle between factions within the Soviet Communist Party.

Standing by his side, he has done many hidden things for himself that cannot be brought to the table, including eliminating Molotov, his political enemy. Stalin adopts an attitude of absolute trust. After years of political struggle, the fate of the two people has become closely linked.

are connected and cannot be separated.

At this point, even the most favored former Chairman of the Soviet Counterrevolutionary Committee, Beria, who is now missing, and the current Chief of General Staff, Marshal Petroshilov, are not as good as this one.

In terms of treatment, Stalin could openly discuss all kinds of things with Molotov, whether they were honest or despicable, neither of them had any psychological barriers.

Moreover, Stalin admired Molotov's talent and mind very much. Diplomacy and even government affairs were all left to Molotov. Stalin himself never cared about it. Even if he had control of the general direction, Molotov did not

It was done very beautifully. Now, Molotov, a close comrade-in-arms, a close confidant, and a wise man, kept winking at himself. Obviously, he had a better idea in his heart, but it was not appropriate to

Just say it on such occasions!

Stalin suppressed the urge to curse General Badachenko, but his tone was much colder and said: "Comrade Badachenko, you must always remember your responsibility and defend Moscow. The troops in your hands are for

This goal exists for three days

After that, I will go with some comrades of the Politburo to inspect the positions in the Moscow Military District. I hope you can reassure the comrades of the Politburo. Even if the German army arrives at the gates of Moscow, your troops are capable of defeating the German army.

Blocked outside Moscow!"

"Yes, Comrade Stalin!" General Badachenko, feeling Comrade Stalin's anger, quickly replied, secretly regretting what he was doing in the limelight. He felt that such an answer was not enough to express his determination. "All commanders and fighters of the Moscow Military District

, we must keep your orders in mind and never let the iron hooves of German fascism enter Moscow, even if it costs our lives!" He continued.

But how to open the passage to the European battlefield for Vasilevsky's troops? Is there any other solution? General Badachenko sat down at a loss. At this time, Molotov wrote on his notebook,

He quickly wrote a line of words, tore it off and handed it to Stalin.

Stalin opened it and said a few simple words, "Comrade Stalin, regarding the issue of the Outer Mongolia Front, please put it aside for the time being and concentrate on studying the issue of the Far East Front. After the meeting, I have important matters that I need to discuss with you in confidence! In addition,

, Regarding the issue of the Far East Front Army, my personal opinion is that rescue is more appropriate!"

That is to say, Molotov had the qualifications and power to state his views straightforwardly and suggested that the leader change the theme of the meeting. However, Molotov was very smart. He handed the note secretly. In doing so, he could avoid making the issue public.

This person is the best at killing two birds with one stone while ensuring the prestige of Comrade Stalin.

After Stalin read this note, he showed a clear look of relaxation on his face. Although Molotov's words left him with no clue at all, and he didn't know what he wanted to talk to him secretly, but he didn't know what it was.

The reason was that Molotov's note had such magical power. Stalin felt that Molotov had a good solution to the difficulties encountered by the Outer Mongolian Front Army.

However, Stalin still felt uncomfortable. The Chinese Tang Qiuli had to temporarily put aside the obstacles he had set up for the Outer Mongolian Front. The issue of the Far Eastern Front needed to be brought to the table again, and he felt sad in his heart.

Stalin was silent for a moment and said: "Comrades, given that the problems encountered by the Outer Mongolia Front are very complex and require us to make more prudent decisions, we will put them on hold for now. Next, we will return to the issue of the Far East Front!"

The big bosses of the Soviet party, government and military who attended the meeting were stunned for a while. The issue of the Outer Mongolia Front Army was still unresolved. Why was it brought back to the issue of the Far East Front Army? Comrade Stalin's behavior today was very abnormal!

The problem of the Far East Front seems to be very simple and not complicated. It is a question of whether to save or not to save. However, this simple choice involves important matters such as the future and destiny of the Soviet Union. No one dares to express an opinion easily in such a dilemma.

After Stalin raised the question, everyone remained silent. In fact, silence is also an attitude. Whatever Comrade Stalin was hesitating, we were hesitating. The final decision-making power still lies in the hands of the leader.

It can be said that the fate of more than one million soldiers of the Far Eastern Front was completely changed by a note from Molotov.

Originally, in Stalin's consideration, the troops of the Far East Front were not to be rescued. The reason was very simple and cruel. The troops in the East could not afford to be delayed. Once they were caught in a long-term battle with the Japanese troops in the Far East, they would not be able to rescue them.

All previous efforts were a waste of time.

Stalin also clearly knew that sooner or later, the German army would approach Moscow. The Moscow Military District could guarantee that it would block the German army from entering the city for a period of time. But in the future, if the city was besieged for a long time and could not be defended, the only way to break the German siege from the outside was

, Moscow can avoid its fall. Therefore, the several front troops in the Far East are the only and most reliable trump card in Stalin's hands.

Under such circumstances, if anyone dared to let several front armies in the Far East fall into a long-term entanglement with the Japanese army again, of course, Stalin's heart would be absolutely painful. He could not sleep all night while weighing and thinking repeatedly.

If you go to Xing'anling

If the Front Army and the Baikal Front did not turn around to rescue the Far East Front, then Zhukov's troops would be completely wiped out. More than one million elite troops would be eaten by the Japanese one by one. How could Stalin not be heartbroken?

Heartbroken.

There was also Zhukov, the general whom Stalin admired the most. He was responsible for an independent campaign, and Stalin was also the most at ease. When he decided to abandon the Far East Front, Stalin issued a top-secret order to the commander-in-chief of the Air Force, General Kostadinov.

, "Before the Far East Front is about to be completely annihilated, send the best transport aircraft pilots and the best fighter pilots to bring Commander Zhukov back to Moscow!"

This order was placed in the head of Air Force Commander-in-Chief General Kostadinov. Even Molotov and Chief of General Staff Marshal Petroshilov did not know about it. Stalin not only wanted to take action from the battlefield

Among them, Zhukov was rescued. He was also General Zhukov and was preparing to take on a new position. After integrating the troops of various military districts in Europe, he was newly formed as the commander and political commissar of the Moscow Front.

The only mission of the Moscow Front in Stalin's vision was to defend Moscow and establish a defense line in Moscow to block the German attack on the Moscow front line. He believed that only Zhukov had this ability. The current commander of the Moscow Military District

General Badachenko, a member of the Communist Party of China, obviously does not have the ability and talent to turn the tide.

However, it is undoubtedly a very painful decision to give up the Far East Front Army, which has more than one million troops and has been trained in several years of fighting against the Japanese Kwantung Army. Even Stalin, who was as ruthless as Stalin, was hesitant and unable to be cruel.

, this is also the reason why Moscow has not received a reply after Zhukov sent an urgent telegram.

Facing the fierce offensive of the German army and the collapse of the Soviet army, Stalin once considered abandoning Moscow and moving the capital. Doing so might reduce the huge pressure faced by the Soviet army. However, moving the capital there was the most difficult task.

The problem to be solved is that all the cities in the European part of the Soviet Union were within the attack range of the German army. None of them were safe. Maybe the capital had just been moved here, and the Germans would have made it a target that must be captured.

The European part has no place to stand. What about the Asian part of the Soviet Union, the vast land? In the dead of night, Stalin locked himself in the room, took a magnifying glass, and carefully looked over the cities in the Asian part. It was not that he didn’t like the East.

, for example, Kurgan, Novosibirsk, Kemerovo, and even Irkutsk are all good places to stay with the capital during wartime.

It is far away from the flames of war in Europe and avoids the German offensive. It can also safely direct the war against the German army. It has the Ural Mountains and the Tannu Mountains. These two natural barriers are impossible for the Germans to defeat. However, Stalin finally gave up.

Once the capital was moved and Moscow fell to Hitler, it would be an absolutely heavy blow to the confidence of the Soviet military and civilians.

Of course, this is not the main reason. The decisive reason that influenced Stalin not to move the capital was because of one person - Tang Qiuli, vice chairman of the Chinese Democratic People's Political Committee, who controlled the largest armed group in the Republic of China.

Stalin even thought angrily, "What happened to me? How could I have thought of moving the capital to the Far East and putting it under the eyes of any despicable, cunning, ruthless, and greedy Chinese? Stalin could imagine it.

Once the wartime capital of the Soviet Union moved to the east, the Chinese would soon be at the gates of the city when they woke up, and they would soon become Tang Qiuli's prisoner.

In Stalin's mind, Hitler and Tang Qiuli were equally hateful and terrifying enemies. Tang Qiuli even surpassed Hitler on Stalin's curse list, even though the lunatic German head of state was fighting against the Soviet Union.

, Hitler came out of the blue, but Tang Qiuli used all his conspiracies and tricks, such as the current difficulties and threats to the Outer Mongolia Front Army.
