    The Sino-Russian coalition forces and the Soviet Red Army fought fiercely in Moscow. The two sides were in a stalemate for a while. On August 8, bad news came from Europe that stunned both Stalin and Frunze. Several countries, led by Poland, dispatched 30  Thousands of troops launched a sudden attack on the Belarus region of Soviet Russia. In just one day, they advanced 120 kilometers and went straight to Minsk, the capital of Belarus. ¥ì?¥ì

    In the past, not to mention the 300,000 troops in countries like Poland, Stalin was not afraid even if there were twice as many troops, because the Soviets with their vast territory and huge Red Army could just stretch out their hands and kill these like bugs.  The invaders rushed back to their hometown.  But now, times have changed, and the main force of the Belarusian Red Army was transferred to the eastern battlefield by Stalin long before the Battle of Serov, and was wiped out on the battlefield because of Vyazniki's blind command.  Part of the Ukrainian Front suffered the same fate as the Belarusian Front. The loss of these two elite troops has made the defense of Moscow extremely difficult, not to mention the mobilization of troops from other places to reinforce the Belarusian region under attack.

    Judging from the war situation, the Soviet Union is now at the end of its rope. The defense of Moscow has exhausted the last strength of the Soviet Union. Almost all the military forces that can be mobilized on the Soviet-Russian battlefield are concentrated in the Moscow area. But even so, Frunze still spent a lot of money.  The power of the two tigers barely blocked the attack of the Chinese and Russian coalition forces.

    It¡¯s like two boxers fighting in the boxing ring. The weaker one is swaying, trying his best to block and dodge left and right, trying not to be knocked down by his opponent.  But at this moment, another opponent suddenly jumped out from behind him. Taking advantage of the boxer's weakness, he came up to him and greeted him with a punch without saying a word.  Everyone knows what this means. The failure of this boxer who is already at a disadvantage is inevitable.

    Speaking of Poland and other countries, in fact, they were ready to make a move as early as when the Chinese Communist Regiment captured Vladimir.  However, the war situation in Soviet Russia subsequently changed subtly. The Chinese Communist Regiment inexplicably retreated back and faced off with the Soviet Red Army in Vyazniki. The two sides fought lively back and forth.

    Out of some concerns, Poland and other countries temporarily suspended frontline attacks and pressed the stop button on the war timer.  From the perspective of Poland and other countries.  If the Sino-Russian coalition forces ultimately failed in this war, their dispatch of troops would give Soviet Russia an excuse to retaliate in the future.  Now, it is better to take a look at the situation and wait until we are more confident before starting a war.

    This is the tragedy of small country politics. Historically speaking, Eastern European countries such as Poland have a deep hatred for Russia. From the Tsarist period to the Soviet Union period, Russia continued to invade and occupy their territory, even after the establishment of Soviet Russia.  Stalin even planned to annex Poland and make it another member country.  If it hadn't been for the outbreak of the Sino-Soviet war, perhaps this plan would have become a reality on paper.

    When the battle of Vyazniki changed, the Sino-Russian coalition forces suddenly reversed the situation of the war, and the news came that the main force of the Soviet Red Army of 800,000 people was completely annihilated. Poland and other countries were suddenly as excited as if they had been given blood. Now they have completely seen the prospect of revenge.  With this opportunity, the previously shelved offensive plan was picked up again.  And the timer to start the war was pressed again.

    As expected, the Sino-Soviet war consumed a large amount of Soviet military power.  This has led to a defense void in Belarus.  With the covert support of Western countries, the elite coalition forces formally declared war on Soviet Russia on August 8.  The 300,000-strong army was unstoppable and marched straight into Belarus. The Red Army troops stationed in some places were unable to resist the attack of the Polish coalition. In just a few days, the coalition captured Minsk, the capital of Belarus.

    The fall of Minsk made the already panicked Stalin even more panicked.  On the one hand, he asked the propaganda department of the Supreme Soviet to strictly guard the news of the fall of Minsk and not tell the truth to the people. On the other hand, he sent a large number of secret police to ensure the stability of the Moscow area. Once anyone was found talking about the war situation in Belarus, he immediately punished these people with counter-revolutionary tactics.  Arrests were made in the name of elements.

    "It is better to defend the people than to defend Sichuan. Stalin may not have learned Chinese."  I don¡¯t even know what this sentence means.  Although he tried his best to block the news, the war situation from the Western Front had been quietly spread throughout Moscow.  In fact, the consequences were more serious than Stalin imagined. Some said that those attacking from Belarus were not only the coalition forces of Poland and other Eastern European countries, but also the main forces of France, the United Kingdom and even the United States. Their strength had reached 100  Ten thousand.  Others say that not only Minsk has been lost, but also the entire Ukraine has been occupied by the enemy. Now that the enemy has reached Orsha, the next target is Moscow.  Faced with a pincer attack from the east and west, Moscow could no longer defend itself, and the Soviet Union was completely finished

    ¡°These gossips spread from one to ten, and from one to another causing people to panic.  Although Stalin gave a radio speech in an attempt to redeem himself, asking the military and civilians to trust the Soviets, stand with the Soviets, and form a force to drive the invaders out of the country.Go to the garden and wait.  But now, except for some staunch Bolsheviks, ordinary people no longer believe Stalin's lies. In their eyes, the credibility of the Soviet Union has been completely bankrupt.  When the Soviets ousted the Tsar, they claimed that they would bring happiness to the people and seek welfare for them.  But in fact, in the past few years, the people have not seen any happiness, let alone any welfare.  The Soviets brought them nothing but misery and endless deception.

    By this time, Frunze was powerless. Although he was the best strategist of the Soviet Union, the government had lost the trust of the people and its army began to become unreliable.  As rumors spread, deserters began to appear in various units of the Red Army. Frunze used all means, and even used unprecedented continuous sitting methods, but still could not stop the troops from fleeing.

    What made him even more helpless was that as the current situation changed, even the troops he sent to suppress deserters ran away with the ordinary troops. When he got a report early one morning, an infantry division stationed in the north of Moscow overnight  With only half of the division left, when the desperate division commander and political commissar shot themselves, Frunze could no longer show any fire, his hands were trembling slightly, and his face turned ashen.

    He knew that the last moment had come.  This war is doomed to fail, and it cannot be undone even if we have the power to reverse it.  He put on the marshal's uniform, polished his leather boots, and drove to the Kremlin in a car.

    The Kremlin, the heart of Moscow, is also the heart of the Soviet Union.  The Kremlin today seems to be shrouded in dark clouds, looking so dull and depressing.  The splendid palace was lifeless, and the solemn atmosphere made it almost suffocating.

    Knocking on the door of Stalin's office, Frunze pushed open the door and walked in. The short middle-aged man sitting behind the big desk had lost his former look in his eyes and was as motionless as a clay sculpture.

    "Comrade Stalin!"

    After shouting a few times, Stalin seemed to have come back to consciousness from his sleep. He rolled his eyes to find the source of the sound. When he saw Frunze, a wry smile appeared at the corner of his mouth: "Here you are, Vasilovich  ¡­.¡±

    "Here I come, Comrade Stalin!" Frunze said in a low voice. He paused and said: "Moscow can no longer be defended, Comrade Stalin! For the sake of the Soviets, please let me escort you to break out!"

    "Breakout? Where to break out?"

    "Petersburg or Murmansk we still have strength there! When we get there, we still have a chance to make a comeback!"

    "No! I'm not going anywhere!" Stalin shook his head, abandoned Moscow and ran to Petersburg?  Is it possible to defend Petersburg if Moscow cannot be defended?  As for Murmansk?  Will they go to the North Pole to keep company with polar bears?  Rather than doing this, he might as well stay here, and even if he dies, he must die with honor, because he is Stalin!  He is the master of this country!  Only he can control the fate of others, and others can never control his decision-making.

    "Comrade Stalin!"

    "Vasilevich, we need you more on the front line to command the battle! Let the enemy see the iron will of our heroic Red Army!"

    Frunze was silent. He knew Stalin's character very well. Stalin had made up his mind and would never leave here. His last efforts ended up being a shadow.
