Chapter 132 The most ordinary warrior
The Soviet Union and Germany are the ones who started the first move. With Khrushchev's proposal, many people have already reacted. Yes, there will be a war between the Soviet Union and Germany.
Germany is now in a stalemate with the United States, but after all, it is not that easy to do it directly across the Atlantic Ocean. However, Germany's attitude towards the Soviet Union is becoming increasingly unfriendly. In the future, Germany may have plans to advance eastward!
For a country, it is necessary to continuously expand externally. This is the case with the Soviet Union and Germany. If it stops expansion, it will begin to decline.
Stalin had seen the risks, and now, the senior officials of these empires have also realized that the close cooperation with Germany in the past was just an illusion. When the mask of hypocrisy was torn apart, both sides would show their fangs at any time.
Germany will not continue to give in on any issue. False peace will change one day. At that time, the Soviet Union must be prepared!
"Comrade Stalin, our overall strength is still incomparable to Germany. Our army is being reorganized, especially the tank troops. Many troops have been reorganized, but there are no tanks for them. If we want to launch a military operation to attack Germany, there will probably be no chance in the past two years." After thinking, the young Zhukov said what Stalin didn't want to hear.
It is not that easy to launch an attack on Germany! Look at it now, it is so difficult to fight Finland. The Soviets have not yet gained an advantage in Finland and have opened up a new battlefield in Iran. These all involve the adaptation of the Soviet army. It is already a very bold speculation to make the Soviet army reach the German level in two years.
"For example, we are stepping up the production of T-34 tanks, and the annual output is less than 3,000 vehicles, which is simply unable to meet the needs of our troops. The Germans are stepping up the production of tanks in the UK and France. Moreover, we have also observed that the Germans have newer tanks, which are more powerful than the existing Black Panther 3. We are all backward in this regard, in the field of aircraft..."
Before Zhukov could finish his words, he was interrupted by Stalin.
"Don't mention all kinds of difficulties. Yes, we have all kinds of problems, but in front of the Soviets, there is only one problem, that is, how to win a battle! Two years will not work, at most one year, by September next year, we must be prepared!" Stalin was very arbitrary.
Even Stalin regretted it a little. If he had agreed to Britain's request directly and when Germany invaded France, he would have attacked Germany from the east. At that time, it would have been the best. Germany would have attacked both sides, at least it would not have been as easy as victory.
But what about now?
Western Europe has been defeated by the Germans. Germany has integrated Western Europe's resources and turned into a terrible monster! It is precisely because of this that Stalin strengthened his beliefs, seized the time and slaughtered Germany as soon as possible. The longer the time, the smaller the hope of the Soviet Union!
Now, no one dares to refute any of Stalin's opinions. The aftermath of the Great Purge has not yet been resolved. Those who dare to speak have gone to another world.
Zhukov didn't dare either. After Stalin had made the decision, he could only nod and agreed, saying that he would start planning immediately. Khrushchev, instead, looked happy. His era has finally arrived!
After arranging this major event, Stalin turned his attention to the current situation.
"The Iranians continue to increase their troops in Gazwan. Now, the Iranians' idea is very simple. They want to kill our soldiers in large numbers through Gazwan's street battle. When our casualties reach a certain level, we have to withdraw our troops." Stalin put his cigarette pot next to his mouth, took a few sips, and continued: "And we need to concentrate our strength and take down Gazwan and Zhukov as soon as possible. We are nearby. Do we have powerful troops? For example, the reorganized tank division?"
After hearing Stalin's words, Zhukov put the messy thoughts aside. Regarding the plan for the thunderstorm, let's have a headache in the future. Now, solve the problem in front of you first.
"We have the 14th Tank Division being reorganized near the Don River." Zhukov said: "Now, their equipment is halfway through, especially the howitzers of the division, are fully equipped. If we need it, we can send this army."
If you want to say that the combat power is strong, it must be the tank division! At the beginning, the Soviet Union did not use the tank division because it felt unnecessary. There were cavalry attacks quickly and rushed to Tehran in a few days.
But now, it was blocked by the Gazwin. The 402nd Infantry Division was detouring towards Gazwin. The new reinforcements did not have to take the mountain road and load the ship directly from the Caspian Sea. It would be fine.
"Okay, then immediately mobilize the 14th Tank Division to join the 402nd Infantry Division and the original troops, and eat the Gazwen defenders in one breath. Since the Iranians want to stop us in Gazwen, we might as well set the place for the decisive battle in Gazwen, eat their main force here, and let the Iranians see what the outcome will be if they don't surrender to us!"
Stalin was a sound.
But Budoni, who was standing beside him, frowned, his lips squirmed a few times, and finally spoke: "Comrade Stalin, Lieutenant Yakov, is the commander of one of the artillery companies in the 14th Howitzer Regiment of the 14th Tank Division. Should we transfer him back?"
Yakov is a very common name in the Soviet Union, just like Xiao Ming and Xiao Hua. However, when he said this name before Stalin, there was only one person.
Stalin's eldest son, Yakov Jugashvili.
He was the child born to Stalin's first wife, Yekaterina Swanize. It was only when Yekaterina died that Stalin came to the prison to attend the funeral. The father and son met for the first time, and Yakov was not yet one year old.
After 13 years of separation, Stalin spent all his life in prison and exile, while Yakov was raised by his aunt, uncle and aunt. In 1921, Yakov came from Georgia to Stalin's home in the Kremlin of Moscow.
Originally, in 1930, Yakov was admitted to the Institute of Railway Transportation Engineering and was assigned to work at the Jill Automobile Manufacturing Plant after graduation. However, at the suggestion of Stalin, Yakov entered the command department of the Artillery Academy. After graduation, he entered the newly adapted tank unit and served as the lieutenant company commander.
Since his ex-wife has passed away, Stalin's eldest son is attracting attention. On the battlefield, bullets are not eye-catching!
