The Rise of the Third Reich

The solemn "Internationale" sounded in the streets and alleys of Moscow. People who were on their way or busy with other things all stepped forward in unison, stared at the tweeters one by one, held their breath, and waited for the broadcast after the "Internationale" ended. .

"March 31, 1944, TASS news agency," a solemn male voice sounded after the end of "The Internationale", sounding as if he was announcing the death of a great leader, "The heroic struggle of the Leningrad Army, As of yesterday afternoon, most of the commanders, soldiers and political workers of the Leningrad Army fought bravely and fearlessly against the fascist bandits who had an absolute advantage in numbers and weapons and equipment, and provided the most resolute resistance to the fascists. The bandits committed heavy casualties, but they also suffered huge casualties, losing all their personnel and equipment. Most of the commanders, fighters, and political workers, including the commander and political commissar of the Leningrad Army, all died heroically and organized resistance. As of yesterday afternoon, the entire city of Leningrad fell..."

Upon hearing the news, everyone on the street opened their mouths, and many people were sobbing softly.

The second capital of the great motherland actually fell, and the heroic Leningrad Front was destroyed. What on earth happened?

Could it be that...the cause of GC-ism is really going to fail?

Just when everyone was feeling panic and panic, a voice with a Georgian accent sounded that reassured them.

"Fighters of the Red Army and Red Navy, commanders and political functionaries, male and female workers, men and women on collective farms, intellectual workers, brothers and sisters who are behind enemy lines and temporarily trapped under the oppression of bandits! We who are destroying Germany Glorious men and women of the guerrillas behind the enemy lines!

On behalf of the Soviet government and our Bolshevik Party, I appeal to you: for the sake of our great Soviet motherland and socialist ideals, unite and overcome difficulties on all fronts, including the front, behind enemy lines, at sea, in the air, and on the fronts of labor and production. Work hard, overcome all difficulties, and deal the heaviest blow to the enemy...

There is no doubt that victory will belong to us in the end. Because there were times when our country was in a more critical situation than it is now. Think back to 1918. At that time, three-quarters of our country's territory was in the hands of foreign armed interventionists. We temporarily lost the Ukraine, the Caucasus, Central Asia, the Urals, Siberia, and the Far East. We had no Unionists, no Red Army - we were just beginning to create the Red Army - not enough food, not enough weapons, not enough uniforms. At that time, fourteen countries besieged our country. But we never lost heart or were discouraged. At that time we organized the Red Army in the flames of war and turned our country into a military camp. At that time, the great spirit of Lenin inspired us to fight the war against the armed interventionists. What was the result? We defeated the armed interventionists, recovered all lost ground, and won victory.

Our current situation is much better than it was twenty-six years ago. Our country is many times richer than it was 26 years ago, whether in terms of industry, food or raw materials. We now have the Allies joining us in a united front against the German invaders. We now have the sympathy and support of the people of various European countries who were trapped under the oppression of Nazi tyranny. We now have an excellent army and navy to defend the freedom and independence of our motherland. We do not feel serious shortages in food, weapons, or clothing. Our whole country and people of all nationalities in our country unanimously support our army and navy and help them smash the invading banditry of German fascism. Our reserve of personnel is endless. Now the spirit of the great Lenin and his victorious banner inspire us to fight the Patriotic War just as they did twenty-six years ago..."

There was a soft "click" sound, and a radio gifted by the United States in Stalin's office in the Kremlin was turned off.

Stalin turned around and looked at his son Yakov, who had just detoured from Petrograd to Turkey to answer Moscow. He sighed softly and said: "I must have turned into a joke in the eyes of the enemy, right? I really thought that the Leningrad Army Group fought to the end..."

"Father..." Yakov Dzhugashvili wanted to persuade, but he didn't know how to speak.

Stalin waved his hand to stop his son's words. It is necessary to give the Leningrad Army a "glorious burial"!

Otherwise, the Leningrad Army will become a domino that shakes people's hearts, and the Warsaw Army, the Crimean Army, and the Minsk Army will all follow suit one by one.

However, even if Stalin pinched his nose and recognized the identity of the "martyr" of the Leningrad Army, the truth could not be hidden for long. At least the generals of the besieged Warsaw, Crimean and Minsk armies will soon know the real situation.

In particular, the Warsaw Army has been trapped for too long and its supplies will be exhausted. By then, even if Vasilevsky is determined to be a martyr, it is impossible for the hundreds of thousands of officers and soldiers below to starve to death along with him.

The collapse of Army Group Warsaw was only a matter of time... and not for long.

In addition, once the Leningrad Army surrenders, the main force of the German Northern Army Group and the White Russian Army will be completely liberated.

If all these troops are committed to the front line of Kalinin State, then the planned "Red Guards" counterattack will have much less chance of winning.

Thinking of this, Stalin sighed again: "Yakov, you go to the United States immediately. I will instruct Litvinov to make arrangements for you and take your wife and children with you."

"Father, what about you?" Yakov looked at this great father who was not very close to him.

Stalin shook his head and smiled coldly: "I can't leave Moscow... The cause of GCism must be watered with blood, the blood of enemies and the blood of martyrs!"

He clenched his fists and lowered his voice: "Even if the Soviet Union is temporarily destroyed, our cause has not failed. Because Hitler and Hessmann may be able to use the powerful military force of capitalist Europe to defeat us, but they will never be able to solve the class contradictions intensified by the unification of Europe."

Stalin paused and said: "The Germans put most of the people in Europe into a community and wanted to turn them into citizens of a unified country. But they ignored the various contradictions caused by this... Yakov, can you imagine the poor Russian workers, Spanish workers in the future , Ukrainian workers and workers from other underdeveloped areas of Europe can freely go to Berlin, Paris and London to work? How many jobs will this take away? At that time, capitalists will definitely take advantage of this opportunity to significantly lower wages. In this way, overproduction and economic crisis will occur. Countless European working class people who have nothing and are starving and cold will eventually become believers of GCism! As long as our faith is not extinguished, there will definitely be a day in the future when red flags will be planted all over Europe!

Do you understand? You must live to see this day! "

…

When Stalin was explaining his "afterlife" to his son, Hersman was in the newly recovered Russian Empire General Staff Building near the Winter Palace, and had a somewhat difficult meeting with Prince Yusupov, Chief of the General Staff of the Russian Empire Army.

The content of the meeting was about the war situation west of the Ural Mountains - according to Hersman, the war with the Bolsheviks should be carried out in two stages.

The first stage is to drive the Bolsheviks to the east of the Ural Mountains and recover all the territory of the Russian Empire in Europe.

After completing the first stage of the task, Europe should have a period of recuperation and resumption of production. Because the long-term war has turned half of Europe into ruins. If we don't restore it and let the people live and work in peace, maybe the Soviet Bolsheviks have not been destroyed, and the Bolsheviks in other countries in Europe will rise up to make revolution, just like what happened in the First World War.

While Europe is resuming production, the United States also needs to suppress it. Now the United States and Japan are fighting in the Hawaiian Islands. Although the Japanese have just held a grand victory celebration, the German Wehrmacht General Staff is deeply skeptical about this. I am very worried that the Japanese will be defeated by the United States in a few months!

According to the latest Japanese report, the Americans have now landed on the beach of Ni'ihau Island and suffered heavy losses from the invincible Japanese Imperial Army... But the losses have been heavy for almost a week, and the Americans don't seem to have been driven into the sea. This is not a good sign.

Once the Americans gain a foothold on Ni'ihau Island, the next step will be the U.S. Army Air Force and the Japanese shore-based aviation force to fight for consumption, which will not win anyway. In Hessman's memory, there is a data on the losses of American pilots (crew members) in the European and Pacific battlefields during World War II. In the European battlefield, there were 72,000 casualties among pilots (crew members), and in the Pacific battlefield, there were 27,000 casualties. It was about three deaths in Europe and one in the Pacific. But now there is no European battlefield to bleed American pilots. Although there is a Guiana-Caribbean battlefield, the scale of operations in this battlefield is much smaller than that in the European battlefield in history. It is not even one-tenth, and it is only about 5% at most. It can't kill many American pilots. So now the strength that the United States can use in the Pacific battlefield is far greater than that in the same period in history. Even if Japan occupies the natural sea fortress of the Hawaiian Islands, failure is still foreseeable. Unless Germany switches its forces to the Caribbean battlefield after initially defeating the Soviet Union, and pulls the main forces of the United States from the Hawaiian battlefield back to the Caribbean battlefield. Of course, the two reasons that Hersman and Yusupov said now are actually excuses. The real reason why Germany is ready to stop the offensive after helping Belarus take the west of the Ural Mountains is that it still has no way to digest the huge population of the Russian nation.
