- In order to be able to enter Berlin first, the Americans and British have done a lot of work, especially the United States, which has invested a lot of resources in the Normandy landing plan. It is not surprising, after all, the United Kingdom has little power now. , in this case, naturally we can only rely on the United States itself //The fastest update is 78xs.//
On the other hand, the Russians also made some cooperation
"Where have the troops advanced now?"
In the Kremlin in Moscow, Stalin, who had a very conspicuous beard, bit his pipe and asked his subordinates
"It has already advanced into Poland"
Hearing Stalin¡¯s words, an official on the side quickly replied
"Um"
Stalin bit his pipe and nodded.
Compared with the past, Stalin is obviously much older
This is not surprising. After the victory of the Battle of Moscow, although the entire battle was not commanded by Stalin, because Stalin was more or less the nominal leader at the time, some of the halo was still on Stalin. Stalin, whose position was unstable due to the purges and the German invasion of the Soviet Union, re-established his position
However, because Stalin later replaced Zhukov and replaced him with another person who reassured him, the Russian army was severely damaged by the German army again, and Stalin's position began to become unstable again.
Although not long afterward, Stalin once again placed Zhukov in the position of commander, and with the help of the Chinese, Moscow was in danger, but Stalin's status could never be restored to its original position.
In fact, just to maintain his current position, Stalin has already started a lot of killings. He killed hundreds of people who opposed him in Moscow alone. Otherwise, I am afraid he would still be able to stand here now. Location is a hard thing to say
but¡
As long as we can get through it and survive until the war is won, I believe Stalin will no longer need to question his status.
After all, as long as the war is won, all problems will no longer be a problem
"How long will it take to advance to Germany?"
"It's not clear yet how fierce the German resistance will be, but it's estimated to take about half a month at the earliest. After all, Poland is hundreds of miles long from east to west"
After the annexation of Poland, for most Germans it was German land, but for the Russians, it was still Poland, or for some Russians, it was the future Russian territory¡ª¡ª ¡ª¡ªAfter being seized most of the territory by China, the Russians are now even more hungry for land.
So naturally, the Russians also set their sights on Polish land
As for those that originally belonged to Russia?
It¡¯s not that the Russians don¡¯t want to take it back. In fact, the Russians have been trying to take back the land that originally belonged to them for more than 20 years. The problem is that the Russians were not as strong as China back then. Now they are in the middle of a war, and their own strength has also been damaged. When the Germans suffered heavy losses, the Russians were even less sure
So at least for a short period of time, the Russians gave up.
In fact, there is nothing we can do if we don¡¯t give up. After all, it is not the time for Russia to offend China.
You must know that Russia is unprecedentedly weak now. If it really falls out with China, let alone Siberia, even the other side of the Ural Mountains may not be able to protect it.
"Tell Zhukov to slow it down as much as possible"
After walking around the office twice, Stalin took off his pipe and said to his subordinates:
"this¡"
The official was surprised, but he didn¡¯t say much, and just nodded.
Although Stalin¡¯s position is not as stable as it was in the past, there are not many people who dare to offend Stalin after killing hundreds of people some time ago.
Of course, just because there aren¡¯t many doesn¡¯t mean it¡¯s all like this, so someone still stood up and said
¡°But Comrade Stalin, isn¡¯t now a great time to kill all the Germans?¡±
The Second World War was the war with the largest number of casualties in history. About 70 million people died. During the Second World War, Russia suffered the heaviest casualties. During the war, the Soviet Union suffered more than 28 million deaths; China had about 28 million casualties. More than 18 million people died; 420,000 people died in the United States; 400,000 people died in the United Kingdom; more than 800,000 people died in France, with civilians accounting for the majority.
At least 130 million people were injured, for a total of 190 million casualties
As for the Axis powers, Germany had 28 million casualties; Japan had 6.9 million casualties; Italy had 700,000 casualties
Let me explain again, the so-called casualties are actually the combination of injuries and deaths. It does not mean that casualties are equal to death, but injuries plus casualties. Therefore, a considerable part of the 35 million casualties are injuries. Not all died
When Yan Guang was in later generations, he often saw many people mistaking the 35 million casualties as deaths. Yan Guang himself was speechless at that time, because after they said this, China suddenly lost more than a thousand deaths. Ten thousand¡
On the other hand, it was precisely because Russia suffered such heavy casualties at the time that almost everyone in Russia hated the Germans. After all, too many people died in Russia in this war, and even In the end, even female soldiers had to go into battle
Of course, questions will be raised because Stalin¡¯s prestige has indeed dropped a lot. Otherwise, few people would have dared to talk to Stalin like this in the past.
In the past, Stalin established a personal cult of himself and Lenin in the Soviet Union. Despite the objections of Lenin's widow Krupskaya, Lenin's body was placed in a crystal coffin for people to view. Stalin himself was also loved and even worshiped on a large scale. Some towns and rural cities in the center were named after him, such as Stalingrad, as well as the Stalin Prize, the Stalin Peace Prize, etc. This personality cult reached its peak after the victory of the Soviet-German War, and Stalin's name was also written into the new Soviet Union. The national anthem has also become the focus of various cultural works such as poetry, music, paintings, and movies. Trotsky once criticized Stalin's personality cult, believing that the establishment of such a personality cult placed personal value above the party and class, violating the values ??of socialism. , so that no one can criticize Stalin personally, and this is indeed the case
"Indeed" Stalin nodded, "Now is indeed a good time to kill all the Germans, but who do you think, us or the Chinese, can enter Berlin first?"
"This" After hearing what Stalin said, the official pondered for a moment, "They are probably Chinese"
Although the Russians are often arrogant, they still have a relatively clear understanding of the current situation. That is, without the help of the Chinese, let alone pushing it back to Germany, it may not even be possible to save Moscow. It's a hard thing to say
In this case, although the Chinese and Russian coalition forces are nominally equal to each other, inequality is revealed under the surface of equality. Therefore, when it comes to entering Berlin, you can imagine who will be the first to enter. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ªAfter all, there is no room for humility in this kind of thing. It is an absolute honor to be the first to enter Berlin.
And when it came to this, the official somewhat understood
¡°For the sake of the war?¡±
"That's right"
Stalin nodded
"Today's China is already too powerful. When Germany is about to be defeated, we must consider post-war matters. The issue of containing China must be put on the agenda. This matter in Berlin is the first step to containment. For us, even if the capitalist United States and Britain are the first to enter Berlin, we must not let the Chinese go in first"
Although hammer-and-sickle doctrine and capitalism are irreconcilable enemies, Russia and the United Kingdom and the United States are relatively consistent in their stance on China. And unlike the United Kingdom and the United States, China is obviously a greater threat to Russia than to the United Kingdom and the United States.
For Britain and the United States, if China becomes stronger, it will at most shrink their sphere of influence and threaten their interests and global control. But for Russia, if China becomes stronger, will it still exist one day in the future? Russia is also a country that is difficult to describe. This is why Stalin did what he did.
In fact, if this were not the case, Stalin would never give up this honor. After all, the Russians have paid too much for this war, and Stalin's status is also very unstable at the moment. If he can get the honor of being the first to enter Berlin Glory, then Stalin's status will be much more stable.
"In this way" After listening to Stalin's words, the official nodded, "I will go and deliver this news to Marshal Zhukov"
"Um¡"
After everyone left, Stalin stood alone in the office. At this time, Stalin suddenly felt like a loner, and in fact he did.
In history, Khrushchev once shouted "long live Stalin" many times, but after Stalin died, it was Khrushchev who personally carried out the de-Stalinization.
There is also Beria. According to the official statement, Stalin died of cerebral hemorrhage caused by high blood pressure and atherosclerosis. However, some people suspect that Stalin was murdered. Avtolkhanov claimed that Stalin was murdered by Beria as early as 1975. Molotov, who poisoned and killed Beria in the mineral water, stated in his memoirs that Beria said to him, "I will take care of him."?" Khrushchev also said, "Beria did not hide his joy at Stalin's illness and death. When Stalin was unconscious, Beria tried his best to express that he did not like Stalin. When Stalin regained consciousness, he He expressed his love and loyalty to him every time." After an investigation, the Russian "Komsomolskaya Pravda" also believed that Stalin was poisoned by Beria.
But these are really nothing compared to Stalin¡¯s family
Stalin married for the first time in 1904. In 1907, his wife Ekaterina Svanidze died of typhus. Their son Yakov Dzhugashvili was raised by his aunt and came to Moscow to receive higher education as an adult. Yakov did not get along well with his father. Stalin once said contemptuously that he was "just a shoemaker." When Stalin learned that Yakov's fianc¨¦e Yulia was a Jew, he violently insulted them. Yakov shot himself and attempted suicide. When Stalin found his injured son, he actually said: "He couldn't even shoot accurately."
Later, Yakov served as captain and commander of the artillery company of the Western Front of the Soviet Red Army during the Soviet-German War. In 1941, he was captured by the Germans during the Battle of Smolensk. Later, the Germans offered to exchange Yakov for the captured Friedrich Paul. Marshal Loos was criticized by Stalin for saying "I will not trade a general for a soldier", "I don't have a son named Yakov" and "You have not only my son Yakov, but also millions of people in your hands" They are all my sons. Either release them all, or let Yakov share the same fate with them." The answer was categorically rejected. Nian Yakov committed suicide by throwing himself on the 380-volt power grid in a prison camp in Germany.
In 1919, the 41-year-old Stalin married again. His second wife Nadezhda Alliluyeva was only 18 years old at the time. She later gave birth to a son Vasily Dzhugashvili and a daughter Svet for Stalin. Lana Alliluyeva On November 8, 2011, after accompanying Stalin to a dinner party, Nadezhda was found to have committed suicide in her bedroom the next day, with a revolver next to her.
The official claim was that the cause of her death was appendicitis. Some people believe that Nadezhda had political differences with Stalin, and was annoyed by her husband's dissoluteness and roughness, so she angrily chose to shoot herself. Others believe that Stalin personally murdered his wife. , or the death of Nadezhda's brother who he ordered to be killed soon after, deepening people's doubts about the cause of Nadezhda's death, and these also show that Stalin was a loner in the true sense.
¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª
After receiving Stalin¡¯s secret instructions, Zhukov quickly understood what Stalin meant.
It is absolutely impossible to say that Zhukov has no complaints against Stalin. After all, it is entirely because of Stalin that there are so many situations on the battlefield. It is also because of Stalin that the Russian army is in a kind of situation. It¡¯s not soy sauce, but it¡¯s still a vassal state.
It¡¯s just that Zhukov is also a person who takes the overall situation into consideration after all. He knows very well that China¡¯s threat to Russia is definitely greater than that of capitalist countries like the United Kingdom and the United States, and even greater than Germany.
After all, neither Britain, the United States nor Germany have the ability to swallow Russia in one gulp because Russia is so big that none of the above-mentioned countries have the appetite.
But China is different, because China¡¯s land area is definitely not inferior to Russia, and most importantly, China¡¯s population of more than 800 million happens to be capable of swallowing Russia.
You must know that the population of Russia at that time was only more than 100 million. After tens of millions died, there are only tens of millions left now. It is not easy to defend such a large territory of Russia with such a small population. things
In 1939, Russia's population was about 175 million. After the war, more than 20 million people died, leaving only 140 million. Although Russia's area is as large as China, If compared with China's population of more than 800 million, it would be greatly inferior.
Of course, although there were only more than 140 million, it was much stronger than most countries at that time. At that time, the average country only had a population of tens of millions, such as Germany and Japan, which only had 70 million. Of course, Russia only has over 69 million, but is that rounding up?
The United States has 13 million, the United Kingdom has more than 47 million, and France has more than 41 million
Therefore, the population of Russia was still quite large at that time, but compared with China, it was
All of the above-mentioned countries combined are not as large as China
If it wasn¡¯t for indigestion that eventually led to disintegration, Yan Guang would have really wanted to try to unify the world or something, but it¡¯s a pity
On the other hand, although Zhukov has understood what Stalin meant, things in this area are not that easy to handle. After all, even if the Russians want to be passive and sabotage, the Chinese next to them are not easy to fool.
The most important thing is that although Russia is not soy sauce now,But it is the Chinese who are the main force on the battlefield. In other words, even if there are no Russians, the Chinese can still deal with the Germans on the opposite side, but it will be more troublesome.
Fortunately, all Zhukov wants is this little trouble
"Are you Chinese" Shaking his head, Zhukov sighed, "Even if this war is won, I am afraid that life in the future will not be easy"
"In addition, the Chinese young player next to me is probably not easy to solve"
Due to the fact that the Russian army suffered heavy losses after entering the war, it is not very strong now and has too many new recruits. Therefore, the Russian army is currently led by Zhukov himself. On the other hand, although there are many problems on the Chinese side, since China entered Russia , has never suffered any major losses, so as the commander, Cai E sits in the rear, and the front-line commanders in the front are another group of generals. This is very different from Zhukov.
Therefore, although the two armies are equal on the surface, in fact the National Defense Force is obviously higher than the Russian army. It is precisely because of this, coupled with the resentment between the two countries, that during the cooperation process, The two countries did not have a very tacit understanding, and there was even a little friction.
"Anyway, let's think about dealing with the Chinese"
Thinking of this, Zhukov also thought of the commander of the Chinese troops next to him, a general who was only a few years younger than Zhukov himself, but was very proud and very capable.
