While the wolf's den was excitedly discussing the consequences of the bombing, the distant Moscow was immersed in an atmosphere of grief and anger.

Petersburg was blown to the ground.

The casualties have not been counted yet, but the residents in the city must be in danger and there are no buildings. Can people still live?

The cradle of the October Revolution disappeared like this. After becoming flat, it no longer had the value of defense. The German tanks could be activated at any time, and there was no way to defend them there.

Stalin didn't speak or light a cigarette pot. Only his hands were trembling, showing how shocked he was at this moment.

The Germans are showing their power. They can blow up Petersburg today, Kiev tomorrow, and Moscow the day after tomorrow!

"Our workers in Petersburg have all been transferred out, but some industrial equipment has not been transferred out. They are now moving to the Ural Mountains. It is expected that production will be resumed in two or three months," said Belia.

In addition to its political significance, Petersburg also has industrial value. It was the Soviet heavy industrial base. Many weapons were produced from Petersburg. Without Petersburg, the Soviet Union's industrial production would decline, and what they need most now is weapons.

"Our defeat this time was mainly due to the fact that the Germans would suddenly launch a V-2 missile attack and destroy our air base. Almost all of our MiG-3 fighters were destroyed on the ground," said Vasilevsky.

As the Deputy Chief of General Staff and Minister of the Operations Department, Huasilevsky participated in the high-level meeting of the base camp for the first time. He wanted to analyze the failure of this Petersburg air defense operation.

"If our MiG-3 fighter jets can be successfully launched into the air, it can completely interfere with the German bombing operations. The Germans dispatched 200 bombers, which is exactly the same as ours. As long as we can interfere with their flight, they can prevent them from bombing our Petersburg." Huasilevsky said: "It's just that we ignored the German V-2 missiles, and their attacks are terrible."

This time, Petersburg's failure cannot be blamed for its own command issues. It can only be blamed for the Germans' weapons being too advanced, and it cannot be blamed for the blame, because the highest commander of Petersburg, Marshal Voroshinov, personally visited the air base to command, but was hit by the German V-2 missile and died heroically on the spot.

Marshal Voroshinov was the good marshal of the Soviet Union. His sacrifice made the entire Soviet fall into grief. In such a situation, he should not bear the responsibility for the failure of command.

"In response to this situation, I suggest that our Air Force fighter troops should be distributed in multiple airports in the future, especially temporary field airports, to minimize the assembly of large aircraft groups, so as to avoid concentrated bombing by the Germans." Huasilevsky continued: "At the same time, this battle also proves that our MiG-3 fighter jets are a great threat to German bombers. We will accelerate the production of such bombers in the future to protect our airspace."

Before the bombing, the Germans killed the MiG-3 first, indicating that the MiG-3 was the biggest threat to the Germans. This was an aircraft developed by the Soviet Union with all its efforts, which was fully capable of stopping the German Junker-290 bomber.

"It's a pity that our MiG-3s have all been consumed." Ivanovic Migoyan said from the side: "The production of the new MiG-3 is not fast, especially if it is distributed, the defect of insufficient range of MiG-3 will be more obvious."

The MiG-3 was designed by his younger brother, and he felt proud of it. At the same time, he also knew more or less the shortcomings of this aircraft. In order to take care of the advantages of high altitude, he almost gave up all other performances. The range is the most serious. If it is distributed, it will be further away from the place to be protected. After flying, he will have to return in a few laps.

Due to regional relations, the Soviet Union's industries were all distributed in the west. Now, the western part of the Soviet Union is baptized by war, and their industrial production capacity will be greatly reduced.

Stalin's brain has temporarily shifted from Petersburg's failure. He knew that the war was attacking the army on the surface, but in fact it was indeed the industrial foundation and the potential for war. Now, the Soviet Union is very dangerous.

During the entire meeting, Khrushchev sat in a corner and never dared to speak again. Every time he made his comments, it was finally proved to be stupid.

This time, the Germans completely beat Petersburg, and the cause was the bombing of Berlin proposed by Khrushchev. Although it inspired people's hearts, it ruined Petersburg.

Now, Khrushchev had only the only thing left to retaliate against the Germans with poison gas, but he did not dare to say that the Soviet Union had poison gas and Germany had poison gas. If he proposed this method, they would have to wear gas masks even when they had a meeting in the Kremlin in the future.

This is definitely a bad idea, and I can't mention it anymore. He shrank his body, fearing that Stalin would ask him again.

At this moment, Molotov hurriedly walked in: "Comrade Stalin, US President Roosevelt, has sent his special envoy Harry Hopkins."

Hopkins, one of Roosevelt's main aides, when Roosevelt first came to power, Hopkins and others formulated the Roosevelt New Deal to save the economic problems in the United States. At the same time, he also participated in the establishment and leadership of the Public Utilities Revitalization Agency.

As the U.S. Treasury Secretary, Hopkins was an active supporter of Roosevelt's proposal and fought against American isolationism.

So, later, the isolationists in the United States pointed their finger at Hopkins, who took on all kinds of hatred for the president.

At the beginning of the war, Hopkins resigned as Secretary of Commerce and seemed to become a free man, but in fact, he was running around for Roosevelt, and was often considered the second-person in the White House, the shadow president of the United States.

Now, the United States is in a dangerous situation of fighting on both sides. On the one hand, it has to fight with island countries to compete for dominance in the Pacific, and on the other hand, it has to deal with the Germans' aggressive offensive situation on the Atlantic. The United States is in a very dangerous situation.

When Germany invaded the Soviet Union, all the people breathed a sigh of relief. The Soviet Union gave the United States a chance to breathe, and the United States also helped the Soviet Union consume the Germans' war potential.
