Transmigrated as the Crown Prince

Chapter 821 The German-Soviet War (115)

"It's over!"

After receiving the news that the fleet sent to Adak Island was intercepted by a German fleet midway and the entire army was annihilated, Navy Commander-in-Chief Kuznetsov's face turned dark. He felt that his chest was so tight that he almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

The "national artifact" that took countless manpower, material and financial resources and took several years to build just sank to the bottom of the sea? Not one or two ships, but four! ! It’s the entire fortune of the Soviet Navy! !

The most ironic thing is that these battleships were not sunk in an upright ship-to-ship artillery battle. Of course, no warship can withstand the bombardment of Soviet-class 460mm naval guns. But they were sunk by fighter planes in the sky and sank to the bottom of the sea without firing a single shot. You can't help but feel aggrieved.

Kuznetsov slumped in his chair blankly. With the destruction of this fleet, the Soviet Union has completely lost its maritime power!

The adjutant on the side also looked shocked and anxious. "Comrade Commander, how should I report this to Comrade Stalin?" Comrade Stalin is still lying on the hospital bed. If the bad news is reported truthfully, it may make his condition worse.

Just then, the phone on the desk suddenly rang. Kuznetsov waved weakly, and the adjutant picked up the phone; it was Stalin's secretary Malenkov calling. "Comrade Stalin asked if there is any news from the fleet?"

"This..." The adjutant looked at Kuznetsov with some embarrassment, but seeing that he was not improving at all, he gritted his teeth and simply told the truth. "Comrade Malenkov, our fleet has been completely destroyed."

"What?!" Malenkov was shocked and almost screamed. "What do you mean the whole army was wiped out?! Those four Soviet-class ships..."

The adjutant sighed and repeated. "Yes, including the four Soviet-class battleships, the entire fleet was wiped out."

"This, this..." Malenkov on the other end of the phone was obviously shocked and was speechless for a long time.

News of the annihilation of the Soviet fleet in the waters off the Aleutian Islands also reached Washington.

In the conference room, everyone's expressions were very ugly. The annihilation of the Soviet fleet also meant that once the Germans established a military base on the Aleutian Islands, the transportation routes from the United States to the Soviet Union would be completely cut off. From now on, it would be impossible for any supplies to be sent to the Soviet Union.

"How did the Germans do it?!" They wiped out a fleet so easily. What's more, the Soviets also sent 4 "super battleships". How could they be wiped out so easily? It’s like a fantasy!

"I heard that the Germans sent hundreds of carrier-based aircraft to sink the entire Soviet fleet with torpedoes."

"It's torpedoes again. How come the German torpedoes are so powerful?!" The Germans used torpedoes to sink three batches of their own fleet. What is so special about the German torpedoes? !

The situation is getting more and more serious. Without its own material assistance, how long can the Soviet Union last? Once the Soviet Union falls, Germany's next target will obviously be the United States, not to mention that the Germans have already landed in Argentina in South America!

Just as the Soviet Union and the Americans were sighing, there was constant good news from Germany.

Leningrad was finally captured. General Kleist ordered people to bomb the last four kilometers of the area. As a result, an earth-penetrating bomb accidentally penetrated the Leningrad guard commander Mihai. The underground headquarters of Ersemyonovich Hozin killed all the people inside. As a result, the Soviet army, which had lost its command system, was like a headless fly. They attacked offensively, defended defensively, and surrendered. They fought on their own without any rules, and were defeated one by one by the fierce German offensive.

General Kleist finally breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that the troops attacking from all directions had finally come together. "From now on this is St. Frederik's Castle!"

The adjutant on the side quickly congratulated. "Congratulations, Commander, you will be promoted to marshal this time."

An uncontrollable smile appeared on General Kleist's face. As the saying goes, "A soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier." Being promoted to marshal is probably the ultimate dream of every soldier. Moreover, Kleist's great-great-grandfather was a marshal under Frederick the Great, and this marshal was of great significance to him.

Thinking of Frederick the Great, General Kleist noticed that His Highness had many similarities with Frederick the Great.

Frederick the Great was born in Berlin, the capital of Prussia. He was good at musical instruments as a boy. A chronicler once said of the young Frederick: "His wisdom always exceeded his years; he knew the world before he had experienced the world. Judgment His maturity and opposition cannot be determined by age, because he is now a man..."

Frederick the Great was a representative figure of "enlightened despotism" in Europe. He made great achievements in politics, economics, philosophy, law, and even music. He was an important figure in the Enlightenment. Under his iron-fisted rule, Prussia's national power rose rapidly and it became one of the great powers of Europe in a short period of time. He launched the Silesian War twice. In 1756, the Seven Years' War was launched against the Kingdom of France, the Russian Empire, the Principality of Austria and other countries. In 1772, the Russian Empire and the Grand Duchy of Austria took advantage of Poland's internal political crisis to carve up Polish territory for the first time and acquired the territory of West Prussia. In 1785, an alliance of princes composed of 15 German federal states was formed.

"God bless Germany!" General Kleist was grateful from the bottom of his heart for God's preference for Germany. More than a hundred years ago, there was Frederick the Great; and more than a hundred years later, His Highness appeared who was far superior to Frederick the Great.

After sighing with emotion, General Kleist thought of something. "Are there any places of interest left? Maybe His Highness is interested in visiting here."

"I'm afraid..." The adjutant walked to the map and observed it carefully. "The Winter Palace was destroyed, the Cathedral on the Spilled Blood was destroyed, the Yusupov Palace was destroyed, the Museum of Applied Arts was destroyed, the Shuvalov Palace was destroyed... Commander, it seems that the only thing that was not destroyed was the Catherine Palace. It’s gone. But maybe it’s just not marked on the map, maybe it’s been bombed into ruins.”

Ekaterina Palace, also known as Tsarskoe Selo, is located in the city of Pushkin on a hilly area about 30 kilometers southeast of Leningrad. It is a palace built by Peter the Great for his wife Ekaterina I and his daughter Eliza. The favorite suburban palace of the White Queen, Catherine II, Alexander I and Nicholas II. The architecture of the palace is exquisite and luxurious, the colors are fresh and soft, and it is filled with the soft and charming charm of women. If Peter Palace is the embodiment of Peter the Great’s will, then Tsarskoe Selo mainly reflects the ideals and tastes of Catherine II.
