Imperial Overlord

Compared with the rapid advance of the German army, this speed is slow even for tourism. But with some government agencies and many people dragging their families along, the speed really couldn't be faster.

"Stop!" The secretary hurriedly shouted to the driver when he heard a message from someone. The reason why he is so active is because he really wants to get out of the car to breathe and take a rest.

Stalin didn't want to sit in the car anymore, so he went on talking, and then waited for the secretary to come and help him open the car door.

After getting out of the car, Stalin looked at the secretary beside him, and then took a telegram from a distance from the horse-riding signal soldier.

The convoy had stopped, so the escorting troops also stopped and ordered one after another. Vatutin, who was sitting in the back car, also came over at this time.

This military marshal was also pale at this time. He could have come here as a smooth train, but now he has taken so many rough and detours, and he is naturally very haggard.

He stood beside Stalin, watching Stalin's face getting more and more ugly, and he didn't know what happened.

"Leningrad has fallen." Stalin did not let Vatutin wait too long, and immediately said the content of the telegram.

Then, Stalin's mind was full of the matter of throwing away the city named after Comrade Lenin, the political shock it caused and the bad influence it had on him personally.

It is no small matter to lose the city named after the founding great man. Just as it was said in the movie Under the City, this city is not Kyiv, not Minsk, but Stalingrad! Stalingrad!

Now, Stalin can copy the line: there is no mess, there is Leningrad! That's the city named after my mentor and friend and senior senior!

It's a pity that even how he gets angry now, he can't change this fait accompli.

So he could only hand the document to Vatutin, lit his pipe sadly, put it in his mouth, and took a deep breath, letting the spicy feeling fill his lungs.

"If Leningrad is lost, the pressure on Moscow will be even greater." After all, Vatutin was a military commander. After seeing the telegram, his first reaction was that Army Group North, as well as the Finnish troops, All are freed!

The Finnish troops are okay to say, after all, they are not many in number, and they have more than enough defensive capabilities but insufficient offensive capabilities.

However, these Finnish troops can help the German army guard the rear, maintain law and order, and even do some escorting and nursing work.

In response to some scattered Soviet guerrillas, the Finnish troops also had high combat effectiveness after being armed by the captured arms of the German army.

After all, this army that once defeated the Soviet Union's attack once produced such a terrible death as Simon Haye.

After the entire German Army Group North was liberated, they could advance directly north of Moscow.

In half a month at most, the originally safe area in the north of Moscow will become a front line for the competition between the two sides.

The western part of Moscow is already the front line, and the southern two sides are fighting fiercely, but the initiative has always been in Guderian's hands.

Rokossovsky has been planning a southern counterattack to retake some positions, so as to stabilize the southern area and prevent the Germans from actually encircling Moscow.

Now it seems that Rokossovsky's efforts may not have any effect - because the German army is about to roll over from the north, and there are hundreds of thousands of people!

If the northern part of Moscow is reduced to a battlefield, local victories in the south will be of little consequence. When Moscow is surrounded on three sides, it can really be said to be in jeopardy.

Another point, Vatutin immediately thought of the port problem: if the German army can use the important ports of the Soviet Union, will the supply problem that plagued the German army be solved?

"That's the city named after Comrade Lenin! How could it be lost there? Voroshilov... How could he be defeated so easily?" Stalin had not yet realized the seriousness of the fall of Leningrad on the military side.

It's not that he can't realize it, but in a short period of time, he has not shifted his thinking from the aspect of political influence to the aspect of military strategy.

Compared with many heads of state, Stalin was more proficient in military affairs - the only problem is that he was just like Hitler in history.

The failure of the Soviet Union's invasion of Poland caused by his intervention was the fuse that caused Tukhachevsky and Stalin to turn the tables on each other.

Of course, it doesn't really matter whether the pot belongs to Tukhachevsky or Stalin and Voroshilov.

"Comrade Stalin, the great leader... If the German army controls Leningrad, then it is possible for the German army to transport more ammunition to the front line!" Let Stalin vent for a minute, while the other party was resting, Vatutin Interjected.

Only then did Stalin realize that he not only lost the city named after Lenin, he also lost a port with a large throughput!

With this port, the German army has another transportation route. In the past, the transportation could only be completed by railways in Poland and Belarus, but now it can also be partially solved by sea.

This made him very uneasy, because once he switched his mind to the military command mode and applied the Leningrad mode, he could easily think of another way...

Yes, the Black Sea! The Mediterranean Sea is now the inner lake of the Axis powers. If Turkey agrees, it will not be difficult for German transport ships to enter the Black Sea.

Through the smooth Mediterranean route~www.wuxiaspot.com~ the German army will soon be able to transport a large amount of supplies to the Ukrainian front line, which is the real disaster of the Ukrainian defense zone.

"It is unrealistic to retake Leningrad now, but it is necessary for us to issue an order to defend all the ports on the southern front!" Stalin told Vatutin by inference.

"Even if you have to give up, you must destroy the entire port, blow up everything that can be blown up, and leave!" Then, he added to Vatutin.

Vatutin smiled bitterly and said, "Comrade Stalin, the great leader, have you forgotten the information about Sirte sent by the Americans?"

Many of the mysteries of the British defeat in North Africa were used as intelligence and sent to the United States for study.

Research in the United States has shown that the German army has a new technology that can build a temporary port in a short period of time.
