Iron Germany

"Comrade Joseph, the Southern Front has already begun to rebuild. However, the other fronts have also suffered heavy losses. Even if they persist until winter, they will not have many troops left. I am afraid we have to start rebuilding now. In this case , Come next spring, we will complete our preparations and have enough troops to launch a counterattack against the Germans!" Marshal Voroshilov suggested.

After careful consideration, Joseph nodded. After full mobilization, Bu Russia has no shortage of troops. Of course, in terms of armament and training, the newly formed troops may fall short. However, these disadvantages can be made up for if there is a winter respite. At that time, they will have enough strength to continue to fight against the Germans.

"Do you have any specific plans?" Joseph asked.

"Comrade Joseph, this is our specific plan!" General Shaposhnikov handed over a reorganization plan to Joseph.

Joseph read it carefully. In this reorganization plan, several front armies of the Russian army will be strengthened.

The Western Front, in addition to the reorganization of several existing group armies, will also add 19, 20, 21, 22, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 39, 43, 49, 50, 61, The 68th Army, the 1st Assault Army, the 10th and 11th Guards Army, the 4th Tank Army, and the 4th Air Force Army. In this case, the Western Front will become a huge front with 24 infantry armies, two tank armies, and two air armies. The entire front army will have nearly 3 million troops.

There is no doubt that this will become the group army with the strongest strength and strength among the several front armies of the Russian army.

Of course, as a force that confronts the German army head-on, no amount of strengthening can be overstated. Especially after the German Army Group B is strengthened by the troops of the slave country, its military strength will be further improved. In this case, the Russian army will need to add more troops to resist the German attack.

"Is the establishment of the Western Front too large?" Joseph asked.

"Comrade Joseph, the German Army Group B has millions of troops. In addition, according to reliable information we have received, millions of Polish troops and 200,000 Belarusian troops are already on their way to the front. By then, The total strength of this army group will exceed two million people. Although the combat effectiveness of the Poles and Belarusians is certainly not comparable to that of the Germans. However, the combat effectiveness of our newly formed troops has also declined. Therefore, We had to add as many troops as possible to guard against the Germans," Marshal Voroshilov said.

When Joseph thought about it, it was indeed the truth. If the strength of the Russian army is comparable to that of the German army, then they are definitely not the opponents of the German army. The combat effectiveness of the army of Germany's vassal state should not be underestimated. This can be seen from the performance of the Ukrainians on the Ukrainian battlefield. Therefore, it is very necessary for the Russian army to maintain its superiority in military strength as much as possible.

"Okay, let's reorganize the Western Front Army according to this formation! However, General Timoshenko is no longer suitable to be the commander of the Front Army. I am very disappointed by his performance in this war!" Joseph said.

Although, the West will be defeated, the main reason is that the German army is too strong. But General Timoshenko's performance was indeed not very good. What's more, if the current Western Front Army has more than three million troops, this will make Joseph even more uneasy. He must let his confidants control this army. In this way, he will be at ease.

Neither Voroshilov nor Shaposhnikov spoke. Indeed, with such a large force involved, only Joseph could decide on the commander of this force.

Joseph thought for a while, but he didn't seem to have a suitable candidate either. However, this army must be in his hands. Otherwise, he would never be at ease.

"Comrade Voroshilov, let you be the commander of the Western General!" Joseph said.

Voroshilov was taken aback for a moment, he was a member of the Politburo of Bu Russia, the People's Commissar of National Defense! If he served as the commander of the front-line army, I am afraid that these positions would have to be given up. What's more, it is undoubtedly very dangerous to go to the front line to fight the Germans. Maybe if it is defeated by the Germans, then everything will be over.

But now that Joseph has spoken, can he refuse? That is obviously impossible.

"Yes, Comrade Joseph!" Marshal Voroshilov immediately understood. Everything about him can be said to be given by Joseph. If he opposed Joseph, then Joseph could take everything from him at any time.

Joseph nodded in satisfaction, Voroshilov's loyalty made him very satisfied.

The Southwest Front Army, in addition to rebuilding the disabled 5th, 6th, 13th, and 26th Army Groups, allocated the 37th, 38th, 40th, and 57th Army Groups, as well as the Air Force 8th Army Group, to the Southwest Front Army. In this case, the Southwest Front Army will have millions of troops. Although it is no less than the C Army Group of the German Army, if the Ukrainian army that cooperates with the C Army Group is counted, the Russian army is still at a disadvantage. However, the Southwest Front Army is mainly assisting the Western Front Army in combat. If the situation is unfavorable, it can retreat to Moscow. These armies are also enough in front of them.

The Northwest Front Army, in addition to the existing three armies will be supplemented and rebuilt, will also be organized into the 3rd and 4th Assault Army, the 34th, 48th, and 53rd Infantry Army, and the 1st Tank Army. In this case, the Northwest Front Army will have 8 infantry armies and 1 tank army, with a strength of more than 1.5 million troops, which is enough to compete with the German Army Group A. Among other things, there is no problem at all in dragging the German Army Group A in Ulyanovgrad. In that case, there is no need to be afraid of the German Army Group A going south to cooperate with Army Group B and Army Group C to besiege Moscow.

After reading the marshalling plan, Joseph nodded. After reorganization, the strength of several front armies will be strengthened. This will help them resist the German attack. Even if it goes well, it can launch a counterattack.

"Very well, let's do it according to your plan! I hope that our army can be ready to launch a counterattack starting next spring!" Joseph said.

"Yes, Comrade Joseph." Both Voroshilov and Shaposhnikov replied.
