Transmigrated as the Crown Prince

The army could not live without a commander for a day, so Stalin sent Ivan Stepanovich Konev to take over as commander of the Western Front.

Konev, together with Zhukov and Rokossovsky, was known as one of the field troika of the Soviet Army in World War II. He was good at coordinated infantry and artillery operations, and could perfectly combine the powerful artillery firepower and the infantry's high-speed surprise attacks. combined.

He successively commanded the Battle of Kursk, the Battle of Kharkov, the Battle of the Dnieper River, and the Battle of Berlin, with outstanding military exploits. British Field Marshal Michael Carver ranked Marshal Konev as the second most famous Soviet general in World War II, believing that he was the only famous Soviet general who could rival Zhukov.

However, this famous general from the original time and space was also helpless and helpless in the battle situation in front of him.

It was unknown how many of the hundreds of thousands of trapped troops had surrendered and how many had been eliminated. Now there are hundreds of thousands of troops trapped in the German encirclement.

Are they lining up to be captured by the German army?

Forget about that stupid Pavlov, why did Marshal Timoshenko also make such a mistake? He also sent 3,000 tons of supplies to the German army in vain. In the end, even he himself ran to the German side and couldn't believe it. Is it possible that Marshal Timoshenko has already wanted to defect? Are these all surrender gifts?

Konev shook his head and no longer thought about these "terrible" problems. The top priority was how to rescue the hundreds of thousands of troops in the encirclement.

The German army has complete control of the air, and a force attack will definitely not work.

But other than a violent attack, is there any way to rescue them? Is it possible to negotiate with the Germans to redeem those troops? It’s impossible even to think about!

Maybe they should be abandoned?

But will Comrade Stalin agree?

Moscow.

The atmosphere in the Kremlin conference room dropped to freezing point, so quiet that you could hear the breathing of the people next to you.

Everyone had angry expressions on their faces.

Timoshenko's voice was coming from the radio in the corner.

From the brief opening remarks, we learned that Timoshenko really went to the German side. As a Marshal of the Soviet Union, it was undoubtedly a huge shame for the Soviet Union to defect so openly. Especially Stalin, he felt as if he had been slapped dozens of times.

"Damn bastard, I will never let him go!" Stalin muttered through gritted teeth. The rest of the people did not dare to make a sound. They could feel how angry Stalin was at this moment, like a volcano about to erupt, on the verge of a restless explosion; no one dared to touch him at this time and get burned.

"Beria, were all his family members executed?"

Beria trembled suddenly and spoke tremblingly. "Comrade Stalin, we only found his father and executed him for treason. However... his wife and daughter are missing."

Starling frowned slightly. "what happened?"

The light words weighed down like a huge mountain, making Beria unable to breathe and straighten up, and almost fell to his knees and begged for mercy. "Comrade Stalin, I think they got the information in advance and hid it. We are searching with all our strength and we will definitely find it."

At this time, Timoshenko on the radio began to accuse Stalin of crimes. The first one was that Stalin murdered the great revolutionary mentor Comrade Ulyanov.

Everyone's heads were lowered even lower, almost to their chests, and they wanted to plug their ears or turn off the damn radio, but no one dared to touch the radio without Stalin's words.

Timoshenko listed ten crimes in one breath, including all kinds of unkindness, injustice, courtesy, wisdom, faith, loyalty, filial piety, and shamelessness. Everything that could be mentioned was put on Stalin's head and he scolded him bloody head.

Molotov, who also bowed his head deeply, couldn't help but murmur in his heart. He had never seen Marshal Timoshenko with such a good eloquence before. Who wrote this speech? Could it be the German Goebbels? Write it yourself? I glanced at Stalin secretly from the corner of my eye, and saw the muscles on his face trembling constantly, and the terrifying murderous intent bursting out of his eyes.

Molotov had no doubt that if Timoshenko was standing in front of him at this moment, Stalin would eat him alive. However, if these two people really faced each other, Timoshenko would not let him go lightly. After all, Stalin had become his father-killing enemy.

Finally, Timoshenko announced the establishment of the Liberation Army. The first batch of Liberation Army will recruit soldiers from the surrendered Soviet army. They will fight for the liberation of the Soviet Union and rescue the Soviet people from Stalin's brutal rule so that they can live in happiness. In peace!

"I hereby call on more people with lofty ideals to join the Army of Liberation. I personally invite Comrade Konstantin Konstantinovich Rokossovsky; Comrade Georgy Konstantinovich Zhukov; Comrade Ivan Stepanovich Konev. You are all rare talents. Your talents should serve the Soviet people, rather than becoming Stalin's minions and helping others to do evil! I hope you can turn back from your lost ways as soon as possible, abandon darkness and turn to the light; and recover. The door of the army is always open for you!"

Molotov secretly glanced at Zhukov, the only one of the three who attended the meeting. His face turned slightly pale, and a large amount of sweat rolled down his forehead.

After a long time, Timoshenko finished his speech, and there was only the sound of electricity on the radio.

"Turn off the radio!" Stalin ordered.

The already frightened secretary quickly turned off the radio, and everyone secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Stalin smoked his pipe silently and said nothing.

This suffocating silence lasted for half an hour before Stalin finally spoke in a hoarse voice. "Comrade Budyonny, go and take over the Western Front."

Molotov secretly thought that the effect of this trick was really good. Konev was transferred from the Western Front less than a day after arriving at the Western Front. Isn't this Chi Guoguo's suspicion?

As mentioned earlier, Marshal Semyon Mikhailovich Budyonny's life was not very comfortable, and he was even a little nervous. Because he was the only one left among the five marshals who were promoted together with him, so he couldn't help but worry that one day it would be his turn.

So he tried his best to reduce his presence everywhere, not to take the initiative to get involved in anything, and not to take the initiative to express any opinions and suggestions. However, he did not expect that he could not escape this time.

But he didn't dare to refuse, so he had no choice but to agree. "Yes, Comrade Stalin. Then I'll leave now."

Starling nodded. "Go ahead."

Everyone else looked at Budyonni with envy as he hurried out of the meeting room, but they had to continue to endure this terrible suffering.
