"Timoshenko, that damn idiot, he buried millions of troops and the future of Soviet Russia. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info I'm going to shoot him and hang him! Stalin roared angrily. Just yesterday evening, he also decided to promote Timoshenko to marshal. However, just a dozen hours later. He wanted to have Timoshenko hanged.

Stalin was well aware of the consequences of this fiasco. Soviet Russia's plan of attack on the Chinese Empire would be a complete failure. If it doesn't work out, it will cause a chain reaction. For example, the Chinese Empire continued to attack Soviet Russia, and the Russian Empire, which had always regarded Soviet Russia as a great enemy. It may be difficult for Soviet Russia to withstand the enemy's attack. What's more, there is a Germany to the west. Although they signed the Non-Aggression Pact with Germany. But everyone knew that the despicable Adolf Hitler would not have kept the so-called treaties at all. If they find an opportunity, they will definitely tear up the treaty and start a war against Germany. When the time comes, in the face of the attack of several strong enemies, will Soviet Russia still be able to continue to exist? That's obviously unlikely.

At the thought of this, Stalin could not help but shudder. If it really turns out to be like this. Then, let alone planting red flags all over the world, it is impossible for Soviet Russia to continue to survive.

"No, we can't let this happen. Someone, call Voroshilov and Shaposhnikov. Stalin commanded.

"Yes, Comrade Stalin." The secretary hurriedly went to call the two of them.

Soon, Voroshilov and Shaposhnikov rushed to the Kremlin. It's just that the faces of the two are also very ugly. On the way here, they learned what was going on through their channels.

"Unexpectedly, all this is really a conspiracy of the Chinese. That guy was stupid, and he really stepped into it. Now, the Nizhny Ural Front is estimated to be finished. How can we stop the next attack of the Chinese? Voroshilov muttered.

Shaposhnikov's car, he was thinking differently. When he heard that Comrade Stalin was in a rage, he was worried about whether it would be affected. After all, he is now the Chief of the General Staff of the Soviet Army.

When Voroshilov and Shaposhnikov rushed to Stalin's office in the Kremlin, Stalin's rants were still not over. Sometimes there is the sound of falling things. This made Voroshilov and Shaposhnikov wait outside the office for a while before entering. Neither wanted to go in when Stalin was in a state of anger, lest they become the object of Stalin's anger.

"Comrade Stalin, Comrade Voroshilov and Comrade Shaposhnikov are here." The secretary cautiously went in and reported.

"Let them go to the reception room, and then send someone to clean up the place." Stalin commanded. By the moment, his office had become a mess, littered with smashed porcelain, cups, and scattered papers.

"Okay, Comrade Stalin." The secretary nodded.

Two minutes later, Stalin met with Voroshilov and Shaposhnikov in the reception room.

"Timoshenko failed to live up to the high expectations of me and the country, and appointed him commander of the Lower Ural Front, in order to let him lead the LinkedIn army to defeat the Chinese. However, he has fallen into the trap of the Chinese, and is about to cause our army to suffer a crushing defeat, which is absolutely unacceptable. I propose that Timoshenko be removed from his post immediately and replaced by someone else. As for Timoshenko, he was tried by a military court. Stalin said with a dark face.

Voroshilov and Shaposhnikov opened their mouths, but in the end nothing was said. After all, the appointment of Timoshenko as the commander of the Nizhny Ural Front, which was also suggested by the two of them. If Stalin is held accountable, the two of them will also be jointly and severally responsible.

"Great Comrade Stalin, I agree with you about this." Shaposhnikov was the first to respond. Voroshilov followed suit, echoing Stalin's opinion. They didn't want trouble from Temoshenko to burn it on them.

"Hmm. Let's talk about it. Who is suitable for the position of temporary replacement of Timoshenko? Stalin asked. For the obedience of Voroshilov and Shaposhnikov, he was quite satisfied.

"Comrade Stalin, Comrade Zhukov and Comrade Vasilevsky are capable of succeeding Timoshenko. However, the current situation has become so erosive that it is unlikely that it is impossible to defeat the Chinese. Voroshilov said. In this way, he can be regarded as giving Stalin a preventive shot.

Stalin nodded: "Then let Comrade Zhukov go." Regarding this battle against the Chinese, I knew that it was impossible to win. However, I hope that the army will be able to hold the defense line on the Ural River and not lose an inch of the country. ”

Stalin, though conceited and stubborn, did not understand anything. He knew that now that the Soviet army had lost, if the Soviet army was forced to attack, it would only make them suffer greater losses and pay more. At that time, the situation of Soviet Russia will be even more difficult.

"It's ....... Comrade Stalin. The Ural is too narrow, and now it is snowing again, and the weather is very cold. It will be very difficult to resist the attack of the Chinese* army on the west bank of the Urals. Personally, I think that if you retreat to the west bank of the Volga, the odds are greater. Shaposhnikov suggested.

"Retreat to the Volga? In that case, wouldn't you lose millions of square kilometers of land? Stalin's brows furrowed tightly. He was very resistant to trying to get him to give up so much land.

"Comrade Stalin, give up those lands now so that we can get more time to prepare. When we have gathered enough strength, we can launch a counterattack at any time and retake those lands. Voroshilov also persuaded.

Stalin hesitated, and finally nodded: "Well, I allow Zhukov to retreat to the line of the Volga as a last resort." However, as long as the Ural line of defense can be held, the Ural must be held. ”

This point was particularly emphasized by Stalin.

"Yes, Comrade Stalin." Seeing that Stalin finally compromised and retreated, Voroshilov and Shaposhnikov finally breathed a sigh of relief. If Stalin had forced the Soviets to hold the Ural line and then be defeated by the Chinese* army, there would have been someone to blame. In fact, the reason why Timoshenko failed this time was not all his responsibility. On the one hand, the Chinese * army is too cunning to come up with such a battle plan. On the other hand, the difference in strength between the Soviet and Chinese* armies was too great. Whether it is the air force, the armored forces, or the infantry, it is not a rank. No wonder the Soviet army was defeated on the battlefield.

Stalin then said: "Will our fiasco this time cause a cascade of effects?" Will the Chinese and Tsarist Russia continue to send heavy troops to attack us? Will the Germans tear up the treaty and start a war against us? ”

Both Voroshilov and Shaposhnikov's faces became serious.

"Comrade Stalin, this may be completely existent. I am afraid that this defeat will expose our strength disadvantage, which will make other countries feel that there is an opportunity to take advantage of it. Voroshilov said.

"So what can we do to stop this from happening?" Stalin asked.

Obviously, if that happened, it would be a disaster for Soviet Russia and for Stalin himself.

"Comrade Stalin, we will speed up the mobilization of follow-up troops. When the time comes, we can deploy heavy troops on the Western Front to deter the Germans. Once the troops on the Eastern Front retreat to the Volga, they will go all out to hold this line of defense and will not give the Chinese a chance to break through. We can even take this as a demand and ask the Americans to give us more support. Said the god Sab.

Stalin nodded: "The follow-up three million troops must form combat effectiveness within a month." After that, two million people were deployed on the Western Front, and one million men were used as mobile forces. ”

Stalin soon gave the order to remove Timoshenko from his post, and the political commissar of the Nizhny Ural Front ordered Timoshenko to be arrested, put him on a transport plane, and sent him back to Moscow to stand trial.

This time, Timoshenko fought a big defeat and, according to Stalin's character, was going to shoot him. However, many generals of the military interceded for Timoshenko, claiming that the main reason for this defeat was that the Chinese* army was too cunning. In the end, in order to appease the army, Stalin did not execute Timoshenko, but relieved him of his post. Moreover, the military rank was also demoted from general to major general.

He was succeeded by Zhukov, who, after receiving the order, immediately put down his work and rushed to the front line on a transport plane. Zhukov, who succeeded Timoshenko as commander of the Nizhny Ural Front, gave the first order to break through the defense line of the Chinese* army at any cost and rescue the besieged Soviet troops. In addition, he asked Stalin to reinforce the Lower Ural Front with the strength of one army group from each of the Upper Ural Front and the Don Front. In order to be able to stabilize the defense line on the Volga River and prevent further erosion of the situation when the war is not going well.

Zhukov did not care more about the lives of ordinary soldiers than Timoshenko. In another time and space,In the case of achieving absolute superiority over the book,,Also paid the price of nearly 10,000 soldiers.。 It can be seen that he is also a guy who does not care about the lives of soldiers for the sake of victory.
