It was already December, and the weather was getting colder. On the Western Front, the German army was not prepared in advance and the Soviet army's tenacious resistance, and the siege of Moscow began to slowly fall into a stalemate. In less than half a month, the Soviet army could launch a counterattack.

However, at this critical moment, an accident happened again. On the surface, the Soviets were ready. Although the Germans attacked the Soviet Union, they signed a non-aggression treaty with Su Dao in the East. Therefore, on the premise that the security of the East could be guaranteed, the Soviet Red Army continued to draw troops from the Far East to the battlefield on the Western Front.

This was exactly the case at the beginning. With the reconfrontation between Su Dao and Chairman Chiang, the Soviets became more at ease, but who would have thought that the Soviets were trapped in a misunderstanding.

They were confused by the smoke bombs released by Su Dao. The confrontation with Chairman Chiang was actually to prepare for war with the Soviet Union. As the Soviets were the last time they were transferred to the Western Front. In less than three days after the troops set out, Su Dao's North Army Group attacked the Soviet Union in an all-round way.

In just half a month, all the tanks and fighter jets of the Far East Military Region were destroyed, and more than 90% of the heavy equipment and the air force were lost on the first day of the war.

The start was very smooth, just as smooth as the battlefield on the Western Front. On the first day of the war, a large number of Soviet fighter jets were killed.

However, in desperation, the Soviets had to transfer the transferred Soviet Red Army back to the Far East Military Region. It took only one round and one stroke to delay nearly six days. It was these six days that gave the Northern Army Group a large advantage.

The Kremlin, a symbolic existence of the Soviet Union. Stalin stayed here for office throughout World War II. Even when the German army surrounded the capital Moscow, they did not move out of here.

But the integrity of the Kremlin is surprising, according to the description of the German ace pilot after the war. Before each mission, they would get a photo, which is a photo of the Kremlin and other annexes, clearly marked the target of the key bombing.

But those ace pilots were always unable to find the specific location of the Kremlin, just as they disappeared from Moscow. It was these disguises that confused the German ace pilots and made great contributions to the preservation of the Kremlin.

At this time, the Kremlin had completed its disguise design. Although the Luftwaffe often reconnaissances in the air, it just couldn't find the location of the palace.

Stalin held a cigarette in his right hand and sucked two sips from time to time. His frown brows never let go. Everyone in the conference room also showed a worried look, as if they were making some difficult decisions.

Before one wave was settled, another wave started again. As the situation in Moscow was about to improve, victory was about to be achieved. But at this moment, bad news came from the Far East Military Region. In just half a month, the North Army Group occupied a large area of ​​Soviet territory and annihilated hundreds of thousands of Soviet Red Army.

This is undoubtedly a worse situation for the Soviet Union, which had insufficient troops. Although the troops from the Far East Military Region will not be used for the time being, they can also complete a counterattack, but the threat from the Far East always exists.

It is precisely because of this threat in the Far East that even if the Soviet Union repels the German troops, it is impossible for them to continue to pursue the victory. As long as the German offensive is frustrated, they must find ways to restore the situation in the Far East as soon as possible.

Once the Northern Army Group is smooth as if it is entering a no-man's land, then the Soviet Union's status will be very embarrassing internationally, and what is worried about Stalin the most is not the issue of the Soviet Union's international status.

But in the current situation in the Far East, the Red Army in the Far East can be said to have lost one quarter of it, but the losses of the Northern Army Group are not worth mentioning. According to the reported figures, it is estimated that the losses are less than 50,000 people.

For a North Army Group with more than three million troops, less than 50,000 casualties were drizzling. Even if you fight, the Far East Military Region would not consume too much of the enemy's troops. In the end, after the Far East Military Region was destroyed, the Soviet Union's deep advantage would be gone.

The arsenal located in the middle will be directly threatened by the North Army Group. The Soviet military-industrial system is likely to be destroyed. The situation of the troops will be even worse, and the supply of weapons and ammunition will be insufficient than now.

At this time, Stalin had no idea and didn't know how to make a decision. Su Dao's sudden participation in the war completely disrupted Stalin's plan. Even though he had gradually gained an advantage, Stalin still could not be happy.

Stalin looked at Zhukov, who was known as the firefighter. This was a person who offended Stalin many times and had repeatedly made opposite opinions from Stalin. He was also dismissed by Stalin repeatedly and then climbed up again.

But every choice is correct. Before the Battle of Moscow, that is, during the Battle of Kiev, Stalin once removed Zhukov because of a suggestion. It turned out that Zhukov's decision was correct, but it was too late, causing the Soviet Red Army to lose hundreds of thousands of soldiers in vain.

Later, when Moscow encountered difficulties, Zhukov was sent to Moscow to command the war. After several months of hard struggle, the war finally reversed, but now...

"Comrade Zhukov, please tell me your opinions and let us discuss it carefully."

Seeing that Zhukov had no intention of expressing his opinion, Stalin was also a little anxious. Thinking of the previous incident, Stalin had to change his attitude, and his meaning was also very obvious. He told Zhukov to say it if he had any ideas and let's discuss it together. No matter whether it was finally successful or not, I would not make things difficult for you.

"Comrade Stalin, I don't have any good ideas for this situation now, but I don't think we have the energy to fight on both sides at the moment, so I think the focus of our discussion should be on how to avoid fighting on both sides."

Zhukov frowned and said worriedly.

Zhukov did not have any good solutions, but he still would not say some immature suggestions in his heart, so as not to make Stalin feel uncomfortable and he was repairing him once.

"But how can we avoid two-line combat?"

Stalin frowned slightly and continued to ask with a serious expression.

"I haven't thought of this yet."

Zhukov shook his head and said helplessly.

"Comrade Zhukov!"

Stalin was a little angry. He called Comrade Zhukov heavily, staring at him with some anger, looking very dissatisfied.

Stalin didn't believe that Zhukov would have no choice, but this method might not be mature, so Zhukov would not say it for the time being, or it might make Stalin feel dissatisfied, so he didn't say it, but Stalin couldn't care so much? I have already said anything before and we will discuss it together, and I will not hold you accountable.

I have said everything to this point. You are still hiding it, which is too unfair to take me seriously, right? Stalin, who felt that his authority was challenged, wanted to remove Zhukov immediately.

But in a blink of an eye, if Zhukov was removed, then who should be the leader of Moscow? What should we do with the next war? So Stalin had to forcibly endure it.

"Comrade Stalin, I won't say it because this idea is ridiculous and immature. I haven't thought of a complete plan yet. I'm afraid that everyone will feel uncomfortable when I say it, so please forgive me for my difficulties."

Zhukov continued to push and block the road without being moved.

Just kidding, how could this suggestion be expressed? Don’t say that Stalin was angry, even if he wanted to shoot him immediately. He didn’t dare to say it. Besides, he didn’t know Stalin’s style of conduct. Maybe he would be unlucky, and are there few examples of settlement after the fall?

"Comrade Zhukov. Your idea will save tens of millions, even hundreds of millions of people in the Soviet Union. Do you want to let so many people suffer because of your reservation? Comrade Zhukov, I promise you in the name of the Soviet Union that no matter what this suggestion is, no one will use this matter to make things difficult for you."

Stalin said angrily in his heart. The more Zhukov didn't say it, the more he felt that Zhukov had an idea. But now that Zhukov didn't say it, he couldn't use force, so he could only compromise with Zhukov for the time being.

According to Stalin's character, let alone compromise with someone, even if Lenin stands here, he will not give him face. Stalin is an extremely individualistic person, so after Zhukov challenged his bottom line one after another, Stalin secretly made a decision. As long as this matter is over, Stalin will even find an excuse to deal with Zhukov.

"The method is very simple. Now we can only choose one of two, either continue to fight with the Soviet Union and completely give up the Far East. The North Army Group of Sudao is insufficient, and we have land-depth protection. Even if we let it garrison one by one, the more than three million troops will be divided before we reach the central part. Then we can fight with the Germans with all our strength, defeat the Germans as soon as possible, and at the same time, we strive to develop our military industry and improve the equipment of the troops as soon as possible.

After defeating the Germans, we can turn around and clean up Su Dao's North Army Group, because they are scattered in various regions, and we can easily destroy them with our military advantage. If they gather backwards, we can also recover some of the lost land without bloodshed.

But this is just a bold gambling. The original intention of this idea comes from the current situation. Once Su Dao increases his troops to the North Army Group, we will become more passive and may even be occupied by them by the military industry in the central region. I heard that there are at least one million reserve troops in the Far East and Northeast China. There are at least three armies in the territory of the Chinese Empire, one of which guards the local area and two armies are mobile corps.

Then once Su Dao transfers at least 1.66 million troops to the North Army Group, we will be more passive. Moreover, Su Dao's recruitment has never stopped recently. The most important thing is that an army of 830,000 people is their basic organization, and I cannot confirm how many troops each of them has.

So Comrade Stalin, I don’t talk about this method because I have not thought of a countermeasure yet, and I am constantly pondering some solutions, but the current situation is really impossible."

Zhukov not only expressed his thoughts, but also expressed his reason for overthrowing this idea. He wanted to tell Stalin exactly that he was not thinking about the Soviet Union, but that he really had not come up with a solution.

After hearing Zhukov's words, Stalin fell into deep thought again. Perhaps Zhukov's previous approach was correct. This method was indeed very risky for them, and they were not sure of it.
