In Stalingrad, in the city hall, Stalin was listening to reports from all sides with a grim face.

Anyway, since the beginning of the Soviet-German war, Stalin's face has not been good-looking for a few days.

His subordinates were also accustomed to the flat-faced Stalin, to his roar, to his irritation.

The news of the German occupation of Moscow was one of the more annoying news for Stalin lately—and there were many more that annoyed him, and there were too many of them.

"What the hell are those hateful bastards in Chelyabinsk going to do? What exactly do they want to do? After hearing the news, Stalin slapped the table in annoyance.

The news came from the Chelyabinsk side, and I heard that several high-ranking government officials there had cut off a batch of arms and privately formed two divisions of troops.

Originally, Stalin intended to transport these troops to the vicinity of Stalingrad and to deploy a defensive line there.

However, the Chelyabinsk side delayed under various pretexts, and until now these two divisions have not been transferred to Stalingrad.

Stalin, who was in Stalingrad, did not have the all-encompassing appeal that he had when he was in Moscow.

After all, although the German army was victorious at that time, it did not achieve such a big advantage as it does now. The shadow of Stalin's purges on the Soviet Union remains, but it is only getting weaker and weaker as the war collapses.

Stalin hated Talin for what happened in Chelyabinsk, and after Beria went to Chelyabinsk, he seemed to have sent back news that the situation there was uncontrollable.

What kind of chaos it will become, Stalin could not imagine. If he did not return with his troops, he was not sure that he could really regain control of the Soviet Union as a whole.

In addition to the numerous factories near Chelyabinsk, the troops in Gorky and other places have also been disorganized and disobedient.

A series of questions made Stalin grit his teeth with hatred, but he didn't have a good way to ask them.

"Maybe it's really because the weapons and equipment of the troops are not in place, right?" The secretary was on the side, whispering to comfort Stalin.

"Look at the latest report! Take a look at the data above! The number of production of T-34 tanks fell by thirty percent! When I gave them the go-ahead to increase production of the T-34 as soon as possible, they even reduced production by 30 percent! Stalin pointed angrily at the papers on the table and said through gritted teeth.

The original T-26 tank has been discontinued, and now the Soviet Union only produces one model of the T-34 tank, so it is natural that it should be in a state of increased production.

In addition, the production of T-34 tanks is also very simple, even tractor factories can produce them, and in the case of better organization and scheduling in the rear, the production should be higher.

After all, many factories have been evacuated from Kyiv and other cities, many of which have finished their long relocation and relocation work and are now in safe industrial areas in the Ural Mountains.

There is oil from the Caucasus, and there is also plenty of iron ore to produce tanks and fighter jets.

However, with the exception of the tank factory in Stalingrad, where the production of T-34 tanks was increasing, the rest of the factories reported that production was decreasing.

As long as you are not an idiot, you know that all localities are trying to intercept some tanks to equip the surrounding troops, and it is difficult for people to obey orders in a unified deployment.

Because Stalin's orders did make local government officials and army commanders feel a little chilly.

The tanks produced have all been transferred to the direction of Ukraine, so that Gorky and other regions will not be able to get the corresponding weapons and equipment at all.

As a result, the rebound was bottomed out, and all localities began to try their best to cut some weapons and equipment for the use of nearby Soviet troops who could rely on them.

Including Bobosha submachine guns, including DP-28 light machine guns, including T-34 tanks, and a number of Lager, MiG, Yak fighters.

"The great leader, Comrade Stalin, has just received the news that the Far East has transferred 50,000 combat troops to the order of the Far East, and the Far East has only transferred 30,000 troops!" The officer in charge of delivering the news had to tell another bad news.

It's all bad news lately, and he can't help it - if he had a choice, he would prefer to do something else, even if it was a two-level downgrade!

The Far East is far away, and when they sent troops to Moscow for reinforcements, they gave reinforcements a discount.

Now, even the troops that Stalin personally wanted, the commanders of the Far East, gave only sixty percent of the face.

Hearing this, Stalin was still irritable. He didn't have a very good way, and he went to ask the people in the Far East if they were disobedient.

Because even Chelyabinsk has now begun to disobey the sun, and even his henchman Beria feels a little untrustworthy.

Another reason why Stalin did not get angry was the forces in the Far East, and he knew that he could not draw more.

Japan is ready to move in Asia, and if it really falls into the trap and attacks the Far East at the most critical time for the Soviet Union, then the Soviet Union will be even more passive.

Therefore, in order not to provoke Japan and not let Japan feel that it has an opportunity, it is necessary to maintain a certain number of troops in the Far East.

Because of this, Stalin has always been relatively tolerant of the Far East, and the other side was able to draw 30,000 troops, and he was quite satisfied with his attitude.

The only thing that unsits him is the Kursk region, which is fighting hard. If the Germans take Kursk, then Kharkov will also be in danger.

"Is Zhukov and Vatutin's side an advantage or a disadvantage?" Without commenting on the fact that reinforcements in the Far East were discounted, Stalin turned to ask about the Battle of Kursk.

The secretary didn't know much, and could only look at the officer who reported in front of Stalin. Fortunately, this officer knew better, so he quickly replied: "Comrade Stalin, great leader, there is no winner or loser over there at present. ”

"Comrade Zhukov deserves to be your favorite talent! withstood the German army moving south, and held on to the present and still be invincible! The secretary hurriedly patted his ass and complimented: "Great comrade leader, your vision is so accurate!" ”

Speaking of this, Stalin's face looked a little better, after all, he was indeed very proud of the discovery of Zhukov.

He nodded, and commanded: "Fulfill Zhukov's request as much as possible!" As long as he holds his ground in Kursk, we have hope of dragging out the war until 42 years! ”

"Yes! Comrade Stalin, the great leader! The secretary hurriedly agreed: "I will send him a telegram saying that you fully support him in holding Kursk!" ”
