Transmigrated as the Crown Prince

"Support two Soviet-class battleships?"

Commander Eisenhower conveyed to Stalin the demands coming from home.

Stalin frowned deeply and smoked his pipe silently.

These Soviet-class battleships are the "artifacts of the country" built by the Soviet Union with the whole country. They have been hidden like treasures. From the outbreak of the Soviet-German war to the present, they have not been sent to the battlefield for fear of being harmed. . Now that he heard that the Americans wanted them to send these two ships to the United States, Stalin was naturally a little reluctant to give up.

But he is reluctant to give up. The Americans have indeed provided a lot of real assistance, and he cannot be stingy. And if they do not support these two Soviet-class battleships, the Americans can only deploy battleships from the Pacific Fleet to support the Atlantic Fleet. In this way, the strength of the Pacific Fleet will be weakened by the first officer, which may give the Germans an opportunity. This in turn affected the material transportation routes to the Soviet Union.

In addition, sending Soviet-class battleships this time could also let the Americans see the strength of the Soviet navy, and Stalin finally agreed to this request. "no problem."

Berlin Palace.

Yannick was standing in front of a huge map of Europe, thinking about the situation of the German-Soviet war.

As mentioned earlier, Smolensk and Leningrad are about to be surrounded. The 250,000 Romanian troops, 300,000 Hungarian troops, 250,000 Russian Liberation Army, 300,000 Ukrainian troops, 500,000 German Wehrmacht troops, and 250,000 Foreign Legion troops assembled in Ukraine have also approached Stalingrad. Yannick felt that relying on this It shouldn't be a big problem for an army of nearly 2 million to take Stalingrad in one fell swoop.

The only thing that needs attention is to separate the Romanian and Hungarian armies to prevent them from fighting among themselves.

After solving these three cities, they will march towards Moscow.

I don’t know if the majestic Moscow military parade in the original time and space will appear this time.

Many people in later generations did not quite understand that the Soviet soldiers were fighting day and night. Where were the soldiers, tanks and artillery to line up?

According to historical records, Artemyev, who was the commander of the Moscow Defense Zone at the time, once said, "Now, no matter it is day or night, our soldiers are fighting bloody battles with the Germans on the front line, so we may not necessarily be able to summon them for the military parade." The team. Infantry formations can still be organized, but tanks cannot. They are all on the front line, and all artillery are also on artillery positions. There are no extra people for the military parade."

But Stalin still insisted on a military parade, and no cavalry, artillery, or armor should be missing. If there are not enough in the city, they will be transferred from the front line!

Because Zhukov and Stalin analyzed the feasibility of this military parade, the German army also suffered heavy losses in previous battles and is still in the stage of replenishing its troops. At least before November 7, there will not be enough power to launch a general attack on Moscow. At most, air strikes. Zhukov said that all he had to do was strengthen the air defense work on the day of the military parade, and even issued a military order to ensure that no German fighter plane would be allowed to fly over the Red Square.

At 8 a.m. on November 7, the military parade in Red Square started two hours early. Zhukov also mobilized a powerful anti-aircraft firepower network on the periphery and placed 550 fighter jets on standby. The order received by these pilots was: "If a German bomber attempts to fly over Red Square, what you have to do is to crash into it as soon as possible." , the motherland and the people have not left you time to aim and shoot."

Usually there are mainly diplomats on the viewing platform, but at this time there were no one. The most people were journalists from the news media. People participating in the military parade were waiting for Stalin's speech in the heavy snow: "The great mission of liberation has fallen on your shoulders. You will live up to this mission! The war you are waging is a war of liberation and a just war." "From now on we will The task... is to annihilate every German-occupier who invades the territory of our motherland!"...

After Stalin's speech, the troops and the crowd in the square were excited and everyone sang the majestic "Internationale".

Heavily armed Red Army troops passed through the Red Square one after another. Most of them had thin faces and unshaven beards. They carried backpacks and loaded guns. Their pace was not very orderly. Many soldiers fought bloody battles on the battlefield the day before and did not know what they were doing when they returned to Moscow until that day. They walked across the Red Square on snowflakes, were inspected by Stalin, and headed for their own battlefield shouting "Ula".

The "Ula" that resounded throughout the Red Square and Stalin's shocking speech dispelled the rumors that "Stalin had escaped" and the mood of defeat that permeated the entire city. This military parade was broadcast simultaneously around the world. Even Churchill, who hated the Soviet Union in his heart, lamented Stalin's courage and strengthened his actions to promote the anti-Japanese alliance.

Although this military parade was the simplest in the history of the Soviet Union, lasting only 25 minutes, it was the most remarkable military parade in the history of the world. At such a close distance, it clearly expresses a nation's contempt for the invaders. Mustache's pre-war rants became a laughing stock.

On June 24, 1945, Moscow held another special military parade. The flag bearer at the front of the parade held high the red flag that was planted on the Reichstag Building after the Soviet army invaded Berlin, followed by more than 200 Soviet soldiers. They dragged more than 200 captured German military flags backwards and threw them one by one in front of Lenin's tomb. Some people said that this was an insult to Germany by the Soviets. In fact, in the winter four years ago, they had already given the enemy at their doorstep a A hard slap.

This time, Germany was equipped with high-altitude bombers that could not climb as high as the Soviet fighter planes. It was a good thing that the Moscow military parade did not show up. If Stalin still dared to do it, he would send bombers to cheer them up.

When their army was about to surround Moscow, Stalin had only two choices, either to stay and live and die with Moscow, or to leave Moscow and retreat to the rear.

If Stalin decided to live and die with Moscow, it would be much simpler. When they capture Moscow, the entire Soviet Union will be destroyed with Stalin's death. Yannick felt that if Stalin really defended Moscow, he would not surrender reluctantly and might choose to commit suicide.

If he escapes from Moscow, the aftermath of the Great Purge will explode, and he will also fall into passivity. Moreover, hastily moving the capital and retreating during the war will cause irreversible serious consequences. This is one of the reasons why Stalin in the original time and space clung to Moscow. At the beginning of the Soviet war, hundreds of thousands of troops were surrounded and eliminated. If Stalin evacuated Moscow, it would first cause a political and military collapse. Civilians and the army would think there was no need to sacrifice their lives and surrender directly.

And even if you leave, the only place you can go to is the Far East. There are more than 10,000 kilometers from Moscow to the Far East. This distance is enough to make people sigh, and even the German bombers can't reach it. In addition, the supplies supported by the Americans are piling up in the Far East, which is enough to develop into a small power.
