Jagged Germany

   Now Moscow is under the threat of the German army, and the Germans may come to Moscow at any time. But the Russians living here actually wanted to escape, which was undoubtedly unacceptable to Joseph.

  In Joseph's view, the people living in Moscow are the most steadfast people in Bu Russia. They enjoy the best treatment in Russia. Now that we are in danger, we should first stand up and take up arms to defend Moscow. However, the behavior of those people really disappointed him.

"Comrade Shaposhnikov, send troops directly under the General Staff to block the roads out of Moscow. From now on, except for the pass I issued, the rest of the people are absolutely not allowed to leave Moscow!" Joseph said viciously . Now he wants to be ruthless.

   "Yes, Comrade Joseph." Marshal Shaposhnikov nodded.

  Although, Marshal Shaposhnikov does not think that those civilians staying in Moscow can play any role, but will waste Moscow's food reserves. However, Joseph had already issued such an order, and he could not refuse. Otherwise, Joseph, who was in a rage, didn't know what he would do.

"In addition, aren't the Germans not far from Moscow? I am afraid that Moscow will soon become a war zone. If this is the case, let all residents of Moscow participate in the construction of fortifications. We will have the entire Moscow Build it into a fortress. If the Germans dare to attack Moscow, let them shed their blood here!" Joseph said fiercely.

   "Yes, Comrade Joseph!" Marshal Shaposhnikov did not refuse. After all, if there were millions of free labor digging fortifications, it would be enough to make Moscow impenetrable in a short time. This can also play a very important role in the defense of Moscow by the Russian army. After all, when the weapons and equipment and the combat effectiveness of the troops are much inferior to the German army, if they can have solid fortifications, it will undoubtedly greatly narrow the gap in strength between the two sides.

   "Comrade Joseph, do we really ignore the telegram for help from the front?" Marshal Shaposhnikov asked.

   Joseph frowned involuntarily. Without reinforcements in his hands, of course he could only watch the front line be defeated. Of course, it doesn't mean that there are no reinforcements at all. The reserve front commanded by General Zhukov also had 11 infantry armies and two tank armies. But Joseph didn't think that Zhukov's troops would be able to play a big role after they were sent to the front line. Maybe, after Zhukov's troops were sent to the front line, they would be easily wiped out by the Germans. After all, the German army has too much advantage. In that case, the Russian army would not have many troops to defend Moscow. Once the German army approached the city of Moscow, what else would Russia use to resist the German army's attack?

   "Call for Comrade Zhukov and listen to his opinion!" Joseph said.

   "Okay, Comrade Joseph!" Marshal Shaposhnikov nodded.

  The headquarters of the Reserve Front Army is in Moscow. Therefore, after receiving the call from Joseph, Zhukov rushed to Joseph's office within ten minutes.

   "Comrade Joseph, Comrade Shaposhnikov, good morning!" General Zhukov looked very humble now. Perhaps it was because of his failure last winter that he changed from his previous unruliness. No matter how talented you are, if you don't have a good record, you will naturally lose your arrogance.

   "Comrade Zhukov, please sit down!" Joseph said kindly.

   General Zhukov is Joseph's favorite general, and he has always attached great importance to this subordinate.

"Comrade Zhukov, it's like this. The German army has been on the offensive very hard these days, and several armies on the front line have suffered heavy losses. Especially the Southwest Front Army, they are facing too strong a group of German Army C. Comrade Kirponos has already sent A telegram requesting reinforcements has come. In fact, several front-line troops have sent telegrams requesting reinforcements. And we don't have many reinforcements at hand. Except for the troops stationed in various places, what we can use There are not many troops. The defensive operations of Moscow and Josephgrad are also being prepared. Therefore, Comrade Joseph wants to hear your opinion." Marshal Shaposhnikov said.

   Joseph nodded, looking at Zhukov calmly.

Zhukov frowned, and then said: "Comrade Joseph, Comrade Shaposhnikov. Although the Reserve Front has 11 infantry armies and two tank armies, 80% of them are newly formed .Although the weapons have been installed, they have not undergone systematic training. It is very hard to say how much combat power they can have. Now, we are organizing troop training. If they are rushed to the battlefield, I am afraid they will not play a big role. "

   Marshal Shaposhnikov nodded. He also understood the situation of the reserve front army. Several assault armies and guard armies are all newly formed troops.

"In addition, according to the information we have, the German army's Group B and Group C are both strong and powerful troops. The number of tanks owned by these two army groups combined exceeds 6,000. The total strength is as high as 7 million Above. If there is a field battle, I am afraid that even if the reserve army is put in, it will be useless at all. Instead of this, it is better to use the troops for the defense of Moscow. Moscow is a big city, enough to deploy two There are three million troops. Relying on the buildings in the city, even if they are ruins, you can build a solid defensive position. The Germans' powerful armor will be very limited in urban street battles. And this is our opportunity If we grasp it well, we may not have the opportunity to severely injure the Germans in street fighting." Zhukov continued.

   Marshal Shaposhnikov nodded secretly when he heard this. He also did not agree with spending precious troops in field operations. In that case, the German army, which has a huge advantage, especially in the case of air superiority and armor superiority, will easily wipe out the effective forces of the Russian army. Without these precious troops, what can Russia do to resist the German attack?

   It's just that Marshal Shaposhnikov, the chief of staff, can decide whether to reinforce the front line or not. The right to decide is in the hands of Joseph.

  At this moment Joseph was frowning and thinking, as if he was considering what General Zhukov had just said.
