Transmigrated as the Crown Prince

News of Stalingrad's surrender quickly reached Moscow.

The atmosphere in the conference room was quite solemn, making people feel depressed!

Stalin's hand holding the pipe kept shaking, and the muscles on his face were twisted and deformed, as if he was trying to eat someone.

Everyone present buried their heads very low. No one dared to speak or even make any unnecessary noise. They could feel how angry Stalin was at this moment. Naturally, no one dared to touch him at this time and get burned.

"Traitor!" Finally, Stalin broke out completely and roared hysterically. "He should die there! He swore to live and die with Stalingrad! He swore!"

Vasilevsky was promoted to Marshal of the Soviet Union just two days ago, hoping that he could fight to the last soldier, but he turned around and surrendered to the Germans.

What about trust? !

What about the most basic trust between people?!

It was like Chi Guoguo slapped him in the face! !

"Vasilevsky is the number one criminal in the Soviet Union! Hang all his relatives!!"

Listening to Stalin's hoarse roar, Molotov, who also bowed his head deeply, couldn't help but feel amused. At first, it was Timoshenko who was the number one sinner of the Soviet Union, then Budyonny, then Yakov, and now is it Vasilevsky’s turn to sit on this throne? There are too many number one sinners in the Soviet Union, right? It seems endless. Of course, if Stalin knew about his defection to Germany, he would probably put himself on the first list.

After venting for a long time, Stalin was already out of breath. His blood-red eyes stared fiercely at everyone present, as if he wanted to identify who would betray him next. These people were all "reliable comrades" who remained after the Great Purge, but under the current situation, Stalin could not guarantee how long these people would be reliable.

Feeling Stalin's eyes on him, Molotov, who had a "guilty conscience", lowered his head lower.

Starling asked after looking around. "Everyone, tell me what to do next?"

"..." The conference room was quiet.

At the beginning of the war, everyone was actively making suggestions and vying to go to the front line to make military exploits. Unfortunately, dreams were full of dreams and reality was very skinny. Gradually, everyone knew that the Germans were not that easy to deal with. To be precise, they could not be dealt with at all. In the battle with Germany, they could only retreat steadily from Ukraine and Belarus to Smolensk. As a result, Smolensk fell completely in just a few months, and now even Stalingrad has surrendered.

At this time, whoever dares to touch this bad luck and come forward to recommend himself is purely because there is a hole in the back of his head.

Seeing that everyone lowered their heads and remained silent, Stalin's face became increasingly ugly. Just when he was about to get angry again, Zhukov beside him slowly spoke. "Comrade Stalin, now that Smolensk and Stalingrad have fallen one after another, I am afraid that Leningrad will not be able to hold on for long. The only thing we can do now is to concentrate our forces to ensure the safety of Moscow and start a decisive battle with the German army in Moscow."

Seeing such an outstanding person, the others nodded and agreed with his proposal.

"..." Stalin silently finished smoking a pot of cigarettes and nodded. "Comrade Zhukov, I appoint you as the Commander-in-Chief of Moscow Defense, fully responsible for all defense affairs in Moscow." After speaking, he glanced at everyone and said fiercely. "I know that some of you are planning to flee Moscow. But I will concentrate all my efforts to defend Moscow until the final victory is achieved. Anyone who dares to escape will be punished with treason!"

"Yes!" Everyone's answers were uneven, even a little weak. As Stalin said, many of them were planning to leave Moscow and go to Chelyabinsk, or somewhere further away. After all, according to the current situation, staying in Moscow means waiting for death. But now that Stalin has cut off their retreat, no one will be happy.

Berlin Palace.

Yannik received news from Molotov and learned that Zhukov was appointed commander-in-chief of Moscow defense.

"Tsk, has Stalin finally figured it out or is he running out of generals?" As mentioned earlier, Stalin did not send Zhukov and other "troikas" from the original time and space because of the "invitations" of the defected Timoshenko and Budyonny. On the front line, he just stayed in Moscow as a senior staff officer.

And now the wheel of history seems to be slowly returning to its original trajectory.

In the battle to defend Moscow in the original time and space, both the Soviet Union and Germany sent their best generals. After all, this battle could be said to be a gamble on the national destiny of both sides. The Soviet army sent a command group headed by two famous generals, Marshal Zhukov and Marshal Vasilevsky; while the German army sent Marshal Bock and Guderian.

The German army began to make rapid progress. At that time, many people were not optimistic about the prospects of the Soviet Union, believing that it would follow the same path as France and become a German-occupied area. However, in a pessimistic atmosphere, the Soviet army used tenacious resistance to repel the German attacks one after another. In December 1941, the Soviet army launched a comprehensive counterattack and finally completely defeated the invading German army. Post-war statistics showed that the German army lost more than 500,000 troops in the defense of Moscow. The myth of the German army's invincibility was shattered, and Germany came to an end.

"It's just the last desperate struggle." If Zhukov and other "troikas" had been activated earlier, it might have caused a lot of trouble to one's own side, but now that all the European armies are approaching the enemy, it is already a bit late to reuse Zhukov. .

And he is not a mustache. Not only does he now have a considerable advantage, but he also knows the Soviet Union's trump card clearly.

For example, Mustache and the German High Command seriously underestimated the Soviet Union's military strength and mobilization capabilities. According to information provided by German intelligence before the war, the Soviet army had approximately 200 divisions; and he clearly knew the Soviets' mobilization capabilities.

For another example, the German High Command had major differences in its tactics against the Soviet Union, so repeated debates often occurred, which seriously slowed down the German advance. After the German army won the Battle of Smolensk, Army Chief of Staff Halder continued to urge the German army to speed up its advance towards Moscow, but Mustache vetoed this order. Because he believed that the German army's first task was not to capture Moscow, but to march into Crimea, occupy the industrial and mining areas in the Donets Basin, and cut off the Soviet supply lines from the Caucasus oil fields.

As a result, the Germans wasted the best two months of the summer. When the German army began to march towards Moscow again after capturing Kiev, the rainy autumn had arrived. The road to Moscow was full of mud, and the German army's advance was seriously delayed.

Now the German army has captured Smolensk and Stalingrad one after another, and several armies are rushing towards Moscow together.
