Isn't it normal for a young man to shave his hair into a round or flat shape? Especially for a muscular man like me who can show off his eight-pack abs when he takes off his shirt, a round hair can best show off his manliness.
Yang Mingzhi sat down, faced Stalin on the other side of the rectangular table, and quickly thought of a rhetoric that was very suitable for his status as a soldier.
"Dear Comrade Stalin, I am a soldier. It is best not to have too much hair during long-term combat. This way, if the head is injured, nurses and doctors can better treat it."
Stalin nodded: "You are right. So the newly recruited soldiers have their heads shaved, and even many female soldiers have their hair cut close to the scalp. Whether they are willing or not, this is done so that they can fight better. But each individual
We don’t know whether the recruitment station can be implemented well.”
"Ah, I hope it can be implemented everywhere."
Stalin shrugged and took another comfortable puff on his pipe: "It seems that you are really strict with yourself. Although you are only a scientific worker for the time being, you still regard yourself as a soldier. This is good."
"Yes, Comrade Stalin. We have an agreement. I think that when we win the current battle, you will fulfill the agreement and let me lead my troops to counterattack Belarus."
"Of course I can't forget this matter. You'd better pay attention to what's in front of you. Comrade Zhukov will arrive in Moscow in the early morning of October 4th. At that time, we will hold a major meeting, and you must participate in person. At that time, I also hope that you can propose
Some key military recommendations."
"Yes!" Yang Mingzhi said seriously, but his heart was beating a drum.
It seemed that it was fateful arrangement for him to meet Zhukov.
What a character Zhukov was. Zhukov was indispensable for the Soviet Union to win this war.
Some later historians have different views on Zhukov. It is said that Zhukov always conducts battles with more people and fewer people. How can he still win with more people and fewer people? This leads to the conclusion that Zhukov may not be good at fighting evenly matched battles.
He is not even good at fighting a battle in which the weak defeats the strong.
Perhaps Zhukov is indeed not good at conducting battles in which less is used to win more, and he also has examples of using less to defeat more.
But having said that, after the general mobilization, the Soviet army's manpower and material resources were stronger than the German army. Why should it fight an evenly matched battle with the German army?
Once possible, it is a normal idea of a normal military strategist to use more to defeat fewer in a battle, and to attack more with less is a huge gamble, even a bet on the fate of the country.
From the bottom of his heart, Yang Mingzhi strongly agreed that Zhukov was an unparalleled star in the Soviet Union and even Russia.
In that dimension, of course, Zhukov fought several defeats, but the three extremely large-scale battles that determined the fate of the Soviet Union, the Battle of Moscow, the Battle of Stalingrad and the Battle of Kursk, were all personally directed by Zhukov. A series of subsequent events
Zhukov participated in the command of the counterattack. In the final battle, the battle to capture Berlin, Zhukov also had full command.
Zhukov participated in almost all the strategically decisive battles of the Soviet Union in World War II. In each battle, he surpassed the enemy in terms of military strength and war materials.
This is the Zhukov that Yang Mingzhi knows, a wise man who does not fight unintentional battles.
Long before coming to Moscow, Yang Mingzhi learned about his arrangements for the future through Stalin's secret telegram.
Of course Yang Mingzhi was very happy to be able to participate in the military meeting of the Supreme Command. He was even able to put forward his opinions in front of Stalin, Zhukov, and even other famous Soviet generals. What an honor it was!
Stalin gently dragged his chin with his hands, looking cunning and calculating.
Then, with a few more glances, everyone including Stalin's bodyguards withdrew, leaving only two people in the small room.
"Comrade Zhukov will come back by then, and the commanders of the Kalinin and Western Fronts will also come. You are very smart. Perhaps you can guess what I mean."
"you……"
Yang Mingzhi was indeed not stupid. It was already October 1942, and some decisions needed to be made immediately.
The matter is still uncertain, so Yang Mingzhi deliberately responded tactfully: "Dear Comrade Stalin, it seems that you have made a decision to eat those enemies?"
"Yes! There are enemies in two directions. If possible, we should eat them all. Even if we only eat one, it is good."
Two directions? Nothing more than south and north.
Nowadays, the German army and its allies are fighting on three fronts. The German army puts its most important forces on the Eastern Front. The Eastern Front is vaguely divided into the Southern Theater and the Northern Theater. Although the two theaters have close training, they are also relatively separated.
It’s Operation Mars!
Yang Mingzhi has fully understood that in the end, the changes brought about by his little butterfly are not that big. At least up to now, no major macro changes have been made.
Therefore, Zhukov secretly fought his way back to Moscow after traveling thousands of miles away, which was exactly the same as what should have happened in history.
Zhukov had only one problem to solve during his trip, which was to plan an action plan to eat up the German Model Military Group in one fell swoop. That’s why Stalin mentioned the Kalinin Front and the Western Front.
Yang Mingzhi raised his head in feigned surprise and saw Stalin's expression. The supreme leader of the Soviet Union seemed to have a serious face, but there was a determination to win between his brows.
Stalin, if you knew that this operation would be a failure, would you still agree to carry out the plan?
Yang Mingzhi was not stupid enough to give up without fighting. As a soldier, victory is of course the first priority. He had limited knowledge of the "Operation Mars" in that dimension. In the end, the German army won, and the attacking Soviet army surpassed the German army.
An army with strong military strength will still fail in the end.
If he had a war history book in his hand at this moment, Yang Mingzhi would be able to understand the process of the war.
How did the Soviet army lose the battle? Yang Mingzhi thinks that it was probably because the Soviet army attacked desperately and tried to make dumplings for the German troops in Vyazma, but they ended up with a defensive counterattack.
Originally, in this world war, the grand combat strategy of the Soviet and German armies basically revolved around the "pincer offensive". Both armies competed in "making dumplings". As for the conversion of "dumpling wrappers" and "meat fillings",
It all depends on the strength of the armies of both sides and the strategy of the supreme commander.
However, Stalin's words inadvertently revealed a key piece of information.
Yang Mingzhi cheered up, and at this moment, the door suddenly rang.
One of Stalin's bodyguards shouted: "Comrade Stalin, the food has arrived. Do you want to serve it?"
"Send it up."
Russians are accustomed to sharing meals as always. Yang Mingzhi’s plate contained fried meat and bread, and there was some Georgian red wine in the goblet.
Soon, the room returned to the state of two people.
Yang Mingzhi looked at the fried meat on the plate and became interested.
"Comrade Stalin, there is an old proverb in China."
"Oh? You said."
"Bear paws are delicious, and fish meat is also delicious, but if you go up the mountain to hunt bears, you can't go down to the river to catch fish, and if you catch fish, you can't hunt bears. So, we have no choice but to choose one of the two delicacies."
Stalin, who had just bitten into the fried beef, immediately let go of his mouth. There was obviously something in Berekov's words!
"So, do you prefer fish? Comrade Berekov?"
"This..." Yang Mingzhi thought for a while, "Bears need to be hunted, but when I am fishing, I am afraid I won't be able to spare the energy to hunt bears. When I catch a big fish and make it into a grilled fish, there will be
More effort to hunt black bears.”
"But, I want to eat fish, and I also want to use bear skins to decorate my room. Maybe we can try to get them both at the same time."
"Then we can think of a way. I am a hunter and I come to the river to fish. Maybe I can send my brother to hunt bears with a shotgun. But bears are very ferocious. Its fur can even withstand bullets, and its teeth can even
It can bite off tree trunks. My brother may get injured if he fights alone. If I eat the fish and then act together with my brother, the bear should be easier to kill."
"So your real attitude is, eat fish first, hunt bears later?"
"Yes. Perhaps, this is a better choice for the Soviet Union. Regarding this matter, perhaps we should not be eager for quick success."
"However, when you are fishing, there is a huge possibility that a bear will come out and attack you, because in the eyes of the bear, you are prey. In this case, you can still calm down and fish." Stalin emphasized.
"We should really consider this situation. At this time, I asked my brother to set up a position with a shotgun. At that time, I thought the bear would not suddenly come out. I think the bear is not stupid enough. The bear is
He will not voluntarily give up his forest and go to the river beach."
"Yeah! I completely understand."
This conversation was like fairy talk, and the language was very obscure. Yang Mingzhi was certain that Stalin had understood his attitude.
The whole scene became a bit stalemate as a result. Stalin cocked his head and actually started to hold a table knife and slowly cut his beef into very small pieces. It looked like he was worried!
In order to break the embarrassment, Yang Mingzhi suddenly mentioned something.
"Comrade Stalin, I have something to ask you."
"Oh? What's the matter?"
"It's Speroskina, the young hero of the Soviet Union. I think you still remember this girl. Now I want to know where she is and whether she is living in peace."
"Oh, it's her. She's doing very well now and attends a middle school in the Ural region. I don't know the exact address."
Yang Mingzhi was a little disappointed. If he found out the exact address of Natasha's current life, he would have to send her money!
"It should be a month since she returned to a peaceful life. It's really hard on this child. I hope a peaceful life can make her feel at ease."
Stalin shook his head: "Where can there be real peace? Comrade Berekov, I will fully implement my promise to you. I have given instructions. After graduating from high school, Comrade Speroskina will be directly assigned to Dzerzhinsky
Military Academy. She is a rare sniper in the Soviet Union, and her combat skills need to be popularized as teaching materials. For herself, she is a soldier and must study in the best military academy."
"Ah! Thank you so much for your wise decision."
"No thanks, she deserves it. As far as I know, one of her extracurricular activities at school is to teach shooting skills to other young people. Listen, we will not waste anyone during the war.
Talent.”
Yang Mingzhi nodded, "Perhaps, I can only go to the Lenin Communist Youth League office in Moscow to ask about this matter. I am very worried about her life, and I think I should use some of my allowance to subsidize her."
"If that's the case, you can just ask yourself."
"Oh, by the way, there is also a young Chinese student. She is a child I rescued from German prisoners of war in Belarus. She is Chinese, and I think I should continue to help."
"Haha, it seems that you still can't forget China." Stalin shrugged and said generally, "Now, all international schools in the Soviet Union have moved to Kuibyshev, and the child you mentioned has the same arrangement. About this matter
, you can ask Comrade Beria, he will send someone to help."
"Yes, I will."
Yang Mingzhi said this, but he was very unhappy in his heart.
Beria? If you interact with him, you will end up making yourself uncomfortable. The two girls should be living a good life now, but there is no news from them, so worry is inevitable.
It seems that the only way to find out the whereabouts of these two people is through the system of the Lenin Communist Youth League.
Dinner with Stalin is a huge honor in the eyes of outsiders, but not in the eyes of Yang Mingzhi. Stalin loved power and even loved success, but he was by no means a "faint king" and he readily accepted flattery.
If a guy dares to threaten his power, he will be cut with a butcher's knife.
Yang Mingzhi didn't feel any sense of honor, but felt that the pressure on him was extremely high.
He had already gained Stalin's trust, and while he would receive a series of privileges, he would also become Stalin's favored tool.
Yes! It is a proud tool.
Once upon a time, wasn't Voroshilov just a proud tool? Now, this tool is getting old, and its actual status has been reduced again and again. Now he actually manages the idle work of distribution of spoils and spoils. How ridiculous! Now!
It is a good thing that the Soviet army does not continue to lose troops and ground. Only when the major counterattack truly arrives can Voroshilov's existing powers really begin to be implemented.
After a person reaches the peak of being a human being, he starts to think about his own way out.
That horrible dwarf just didn't understand this. He went on a killing spree under Stalin's orders. In the end, everyone felt that the main responsibility was still Yezhov's. Therefore, it was logical for Stalin to get rid of the horrible dwarf Yezhov, who was feared by everyone.
Putting aside his dirty work, he promoted a new tool, Beria.
Haha, it was clear that Stalin himself was once a tool. This person who Lenin warned should never be entrusted with important tasks and be eliminated when necessary, was pushed to the forefront by a group of people as a controllable puppet. What about now? How many of those smart people are still alive?
? Even Trotsky, who fled abroad, was hunted down and killed.
Stalin seems to be still the hunter in the Central Siberian forest. He is very good at using the tools in his hands to obtain the prey he needs. Once the tools are not working well, he discards them and replaces them with new ones. Is it still ambiguous?
Youdao is like a cunning rabbit and a running dog. Maybe when that day comes, imitating Xiao He and running away, and taking the initiative to give up a lot, is the smartest choice.
Yang Mingzhi felt that he was still far away from the peak of his life. However, Stalin had revealed a huge secret to him. Three days later, Zhukov and the commanders of the other two front armies secretly came to Moscow for a meeting. He was actually qualified.
Participating in such a secret meeting, it seems that a general star has truly risen?
