Chapter 1467: Transit (ask for a monthly ticket)
When the German army did not launch an offensive, Russia was also happy to use this time to continuously replenish troops to Moscow, strengthen fortifications, and prepare for the next major war.
The Kremlin, Joseph's office. In order to ensure the safety of Joseph after the German offensive began. Kremlin staff have converted a heavily fortified underground office. However, the German offensive has not yet started, so Joseph is still staying in the office on the ground.
"What the **** are the Germans doing? They surrounded Moscow on three sides, did not launch an attack, and did not surround our east side. Are the Germans planning to continue like this forever?" Joseph looked puzzled.
Marshal Shaposhnikov, Marshal Voroshilov and General Zhukov are also unclear about this. They can only guess based on the information they have.
"Comrade Joseph, the Germans may be mobilizing war supplies. After all, they spent a lot of war supplies to annihilate our Western Front, Southwest Front and Northwest Front. Now, they are going to launch a large-scale attack on Moscow. It is necessary to replenish these war materials. That way, we can launch an attack on us. Moscow is already very far away from the German mainland. Coupled with the inconvenience of transportation facilities, it is not so easy for the Germans to replenish." Sha Marshal Poshnikov said.
"Is that so? In other words, after the Germans' replenishment is completed, the offensive will begin." Joseph frowned.
"Yes, Comrade Joseph. It is estimated that the Germans will launch an offensive in a week at most." General Zhukov said.
"So, why didn't the Germans send troops to block the east of Moscow?" Joseph then asked.
Zhukov hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Comrade Joseph, maybe the Germans don't have enough troops."
"How is this possible? They have assembled millions of troops around Moscow." Joseph was obviously not satisfied with this answer.
"Comrade Joseph, the Germans should deliberately not encircle the east of Moscow, and give us a direction to retreat. In this case, our army will not have the determination to stick to Moscow. The Germans are trying to attack us in this way." The confidence of the troops." Zhukov quickly changed his rhetoric.
"So it is! Huh, the Germans are really despicable. However, our soldiers are the most steadfast and brave fighters, and we will not abandon Moscow. In order to defend Moscow, we will fight the Germans to the death. When the time comes, The Germans will find that their attempts will never work!" Joseph said.
"Yes, Comrade Joseph. The tactics of the Germans are definitely a stupid move. We can pass through the east of Moscow, evacuate the wounded, and transport more troops and supplies to Moscow. In this case, we will We can hold out in Moscow for a longer time. Even defeating the Germans will not be a problem," Marshal Shaposhnikov said.
Joseph nodded with satisfaction, and he also believed that this would be very beneficial for the Russian army to defend Moscow. As long as there is a steady stream of supplies and troops arriving in Moscow, they can persist until the end, and even use Moscow to severely damage the German army and defeat the German army.
It's just that, as Marshal Shaposhnikov and others said, is it really a trick of the Germans? Marshal Shaposhnikov and others are also considered old and cunning. They also guessed the true intentions of the Germans, but they didn't dare to tell Joseph clearly. In that case, Joseph might be angered.
As the Russian army continued to be defeated on the front line, Joseph's temper became more and more eccentric. Once he is angered, even as a senior military general, he will definitely not end well.
"By the way, comrades. Let me tell you good news. The United States has sent a notice that they will start war against Germany soon. So, as long as we persist, the situation will soon turn around. By then , we will defeat the Germans and win this war!" Joseph smiled.
"Comrade Joseph, it would be great if the Americans could join the war in time. With the military strength of the United States, it will certainly be able to attract the main military forces of Germany. In that case, our pressure will be much less. said Marshal Voroshilov.
"Comrade Voroshilov, you are a little too optimistic. First of all, have the Americans really decided to go to war with Germany this time? Or are they still deceiving us. Second, if the US Army wants to land in Europe, their navy will The German navy must be defeated first. Otherwise, everything is empty talk." Admiral Zhukov said.
"The Americans should not deceive us. After all, if we are defeated by the Germans, they will not benefit at all. As for whether the US Navy can defeat the German Navy, it depends on the Americans. The Americans have deliberately developed After so many years in the navy, it’s not that I’m not sure at all.” Marshal Shaposhnikov said.
Obviously, everyone prefers that the U.S. Navy can defeat the German Navy and ease the pressure on Russia. Although there is no argument for such a source of confidence. However, this is undoubtedly what they expected.
"Comrades, no matter what, as long as the Americans participate in the war, it is a good thing!" Joseph said.
