Chapter 781: They Didn't Show Their Hole Cards

"Cunning Huaxia!" Khrushchev looked at the military parade below with a smile on his face, but he cursed secretly in his heart. //

The military parade is undoubtedly a good time to probe the opponent's hole cards, and this time at the ceremony of the new coalition government in China, although the Russians and China are at war, they still sent a mission.

Of course, this mission is not here to celebrate the Chinese people, but to talk with the Chinese people.

While the Russians were still making their final struggles in Vladivostok on the 7th, Stalin, who had been silent all night, had already decided to send this mission that had come quietly.

Since this was already the case, Stalin was thinking about how to ensure the existence of the Russian government.

Although the Americans began to land in England, the Germans are still maintaining their peak form. In addition to the fact that the Western Front continues to fight with Britain and the United States and other countries in the flesh mill of the British Island, the footsteps of the Eastern Front have also been non-stop.

The Germans' summer campaign had begun early, and the Russians had been preparing for a large-scale blockade battle with the Germans to contain the momentum of the German offensive.

The two sides finally collided in June at Stalingrad.

The Germans, because of the small losses they had suffered last winter, were still veterans this time, and with arrogant confidence, under the leadership of General Paulus, only 250,000 men attacked Stalingrad directly. A large number of other armies marched south with Army Group A as the core, preparing to force a force crossing of the Don River.

But the Russians struck them head-on at Stalingrad.

One is 50,000 German soldiers with 100,000 Romanian, Hungarian, Italian and other followers, and the other is 600,000 mourning soldiers desperately trying to surround their homeland.

The result can be imagined, the Germans, who did not have much preparation, suffered a defeat in the first round, were annihilated more than 10,000 horses, most of the followers were annihilated, and even the Germans had 50,000 injuries. If the Germans hadn't found out that something was wrong and increased their troops in time, I am afraid that they would have been completely annihilated, and at least they would have to retreat hundreds of kilometers.

But Stalingrad was the only communication choke point from the central region to the southern economic zone after the Russians lost Ukraine, and the Germans had long wanted to cut off the oil, food and weapons from the south.

Alerted by Skynet, the Germans, who realized that the situation was not good, quickly increased their troops, and the number of troops gathered there soon expanded to one million.

With the exception of the Moscow area, it was already the most important target for the Germans.

The Russians were even more aware of the importance of Stalingrad, and some even proposed to abandon Moscow's half-dead situation and concentrate more forces to resist the German advance. //**//

When the Germans assaulted east of the Volga, the Battle of Moscow had actually reached its final stage.

The vast majority of Moscow had already fallen into the hands of the Germans.

A large number of Russian soldiers surrendered, but there were also many Russians who refused to give in for the dignity of the capital, and still held on to a few areas to return fire from the ruins to the German ** team.

Not even a tenth of the reinforcement sent from outside at great cost reached the hands of the resisters.

Without reinforcements, without foreign ammunition and material support, every day Moscow held out was already a miracle.

Wars cannot be won by blood alone.

Britain and the United States could send thousands of tons of ammunition to the Russians by air, but the main source of oil was the oil fields in the south. If even this part is cut off, relying only on the unreliable support of Britain and the United States, the Soviets and Russians may not be able to survive, let alone recover Moscow.

Stalin was very conflicted, the meaning of the capital was different from that of other capitals, and the fall of the capital represented a complete trampling of national dignity.

The fall of the Red Holy Land of Leningrad has already dealt a heavy blow to the Russian government, and if the capital falls again, I am afraid that even the Russian government will be shaken. It may also dim or even fade the aura of Stalin's power.

Therefore, the Soviet Russian army is still frantically counterattacking along the Volga River, gathering in large numbers, and stalemate with the Germans.

At this time, the crisis in Stalingrad made Stalin suddenly find that his forces were stretched thin.

Through the general mobilization of the country, the number of Soviet and Russian troops, excluding those prisoners, still exceeded 7 million.

Although there are a large number of cannon fodder-level recruits, the number is more than enough to make up for it.

There are more than 1.5 million people gathered around Moscow.

Although Leningrad fell, the North-Western Front still had more than 700,000 troops.

The Southwestern Line also had 600,000 troops.

The Caucasus and Turkey confronted 600,000 troops.

In Central Asia, near the Aral Sea and the Caspian Sea, there are still millions of troops confronting the vanguard army.

And the confrontation with the vanguard army is not limited to this, in order to defend the industrial base west of the Ural Mountains and prevent the vanguard army from crossing the Eurasian border again to plunder and destroy, there are also millions of troops gathered there.

In the Far East, there were still nearly a million, and they were rapidly dying.

Coupled with the domestic bomb pressure and maintenance, as well as the retention of part of the reserves, there are more than 700,000

Such a mobilizable force was simply not enough to cope with the increase of German forces in the southwest.

Stalin refused to give up Moscow, even though he had mobilized troops everywhere and gathered millions in Stalin.

The two sides have been entangled for more than three months, and the Russians are already at a disadvantage under the million German army, and Moscow is even more critical, and one by one the eyes of the air have been extinguished.

The Russians needed more troops.

Although the mobilization order can continue to recruit more soldiers, it takes time for them to need even simple training, and the logistics cannot support more troops.

Stalin began to look to the Eastern Front.

To the east of the Urals is the back garden of the Russians, a booster for the Russians to call a strong country. But the part of Europe west of the Urals is the foundation of the Russian state, the heart of the double-headed eagle.

Without the Far East, the Russians were only demoralized, but without the European part, they were completely finished.

So all this time, the intensity of the war in the Far East and Siberia was not great, and even the Battle of Vladivostok did not reach the level of the battles of Leningrad and Moscow. The Russians were only delaying in the East, and their center of gravity was in Europe. Even heavy troops in Central Asia and the Ural Mountains were only a defense against the Chinese entering Europe.

Now that even Vladivostok has been seized by the Chinese, Stalin can no longer use the strategy of delay to deal with relations with the Chinese.

What if the Chinese swept away the east and then continued westward?

Not to mention the Urals, their breakthrough in Central Asia alone is enough to multiply the pressure on the southwestern defense line.

"We still need to talk to the Chinese people after all!" Stalin lamented.

The peculiar spirit of the Soviet Russians could not do anything to keep their heads in the dark and taste their courage, but the situation in the south and even in the whole of Soviet Russia and Europe forced Stalin to bow his head.

So the secret mission of Soviet Russia came, and they were also generously invited to the viewing platform.

The Russians were also happy to explore the military strength of the Chinese at the parade.

"We have already seen the weapons displayed by the Huaxia people, but there are still many weapons that they have not revealed." Malinowski approached Khrushchev and whispered.

In his previous life, he set off the August storm, captured 600,000 Japanese Kwantung Army and Fu Yi, and even interfered in the political arena of China, and the Russian marshal had a good personal relationship with Khrushchev, and this time he was responsible for leading a team to explore China's military strength. However, he was disappointed to find that despite the grand scale of the parade, the morale of the officers and men participating in the parade was high, and it showed the true character of a strong army with strict discipline. But there are few highlights in the weapons on display.

They have T34 tanks, they have already seen King Tiger tanks, and there are even wreckage captured.

They also have Katyusha rocket artillery, and they also have a phalanx of 203-mm heavy artillery that has aroused everyone's amazement, but it is just placed on the battlefield, and it is rare to move and appear in front of the world.

"While the Vanguard cannons are difficult to make an appearance here, they also have a giant rocket that can move quickly and attack from a long distance.

The kind that the Germans bombarded Red Square. As soon as Malinowsky said this, Khrushchev understood.

The main thing is that the last bombardment on Red Square was too memorable.

But it was difficult for them to get relevant information from the Germans afterwards.

They didn't know that it was lent by Meng Xiang to earn meritorious service, but after the Germans ran into a wall, they relied on the news that the vanguard army bombarded the Japanese at the beginning, and knew that the Chinese might also have this kind of weapon.

This is also a key point of the investigation of the Russians, but this military parade has never seen the shadow of these giant rockets.

"They also had a new type of tank with a gun with a mouth shape of more than mm, and this time it didn't show up. And among their self-propelled guns, there are larger calibers, which are also hidden. Malinowski continued to bite his ears with regret.

A squadron of planes flew overhead, and the loud sound muffled the conversation between the two men.

The military parade of China's air force is undoubtedly a highlight, thunderbolts, hellcats, il-10, P38 lightning, etc. all appeared, and even the Junkers ladies flew through the sky and performed a parachute jump.

"It's a time of war, and even a single photo can help your opponent in part. The achievements of the Chinese people do not need to be deterred! When everyone looked up at the white umbrella flowers in the sky and exclaimed, Khrushchev said indifferently.

He was talking exactly what the top brass of the Vanguard Army was thinking.

Even if Meng Xiang really wanted to add more legends to this ceremony, but now is the time of world war, and peace will be won if it is not a secret weapon to deter in peacetime.

The leakage of any intelligence may make the opponent more prepared and prompted. At a time when the world's major powers are speculating about secret weapons, the vanguard army will not be stupid to show itself first.
