Imperial Overlord

In the spacious and bright room, an officer was reporting to Stalin the recent battle in the Moscow theater: "On May 29, our army began to counterattack in some areas south of Moscow, and the Luftwaffe could not participate in the war due to weather."

Rokossovsky's counterattack did not work, so the next report was logical: "On May 30, General Rokossovsky cancelled the order to continue the counterattack and began to retreat."

After talking about the attack, the next step was failure: "On May 31, the weather began to clear, and the German G group began to attack our Rokossovsky group, taking the opportunity to attack the Tula area."

Hearing this, Stalin's face actually turned ugly. He thought that the counterattack might work, but it turned out that the counterattack he led was indeed a failure.

Rokossovsky failed, he was retreating to Ryazan, something that would never have happened when Stalin was still in Moscow.

However, now this kind of thing has appeared so strangely, so naturally.

The Soviet Red Army actually retreated, and the hundreds of thousands of troops actually abandoned Tula and retreated directly to Ryazan, which is farther away.

"On June 1st, the Luftwaffe bombed Moscow on a large scale, dropping countless bombs. The Kremlin was severely damaged, and the city was in flames." When the officer who read the battle report read the message, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva subconsciously.

Damaged Kremlin? This was a joke when Stalin was still in Moscow.

At this moment, the German bombers actually bombed Moscow, and caused irreparable damage.

"The specific losses have not yet been counted, a large number of houses have been destroyed, and the fire has not been completely extinguished until now." Seeing Stalin holding back and not saying a word, the officer bit his head and continued to read.

Hearing these losses, Stalin's face was already very ugly. His Moscow, his Red Empire, and the capital were all destroyed by the enemy...

"Thirty percent of the city of Moscow has lost power, half of the blocks have no water, and one in ten buildings has collapsed."

"Comrade Khrushchev called and said that he is trying to restore the power supply and water supply in the city. The food and ammunition in the city are very short, and he hopes to evacuate some civilians!" The officer looked at the hand holding the paper, he added.

Taking a deep breath, Stalin held back his curse. He looked at the officer in front of him, as well as Vatutin and his secretary. He didn't speak, he just motioned for the officer to continue reading.

"On June 2, the German army surrounded Tula... Our troops retreated to the vicinity of Ryazan and deployed a new line of defense." The officer who felt that he was under great pressure had to continue reading.

"Bastards! They're rubbish! rubbish! The Germans went from Poland to Moscow! Moscow! That's Moscow! Don't they have any shame? They should kill themselves ashamed! Shoot themselves in the head!" Stalin finally couldn't bear it any longer, slapped the table and yelled.

The secretary motioned the officer to shut his mouth, then walked to Stalin's side and persuaded softly: "Comrade Stalin, the great leader...don't be angry...we still have hope of victory! We also have General Zhukov and General Vatutin. !"

As he said that, he also pointed to General Vatutin, who was standing there very embarrassed. The general who escorted Stalin away from Moscow can be said to be Stalin's most trusted general.

"Tell me, do you want to shoot a few scum who are greedy for life and fear of death, so that those commanders can recall how they should serve their motherland?" Stalin looked at Vatutin and asked.

"Comrade Stalin, the great leader, shooting the commander of the front line at this time will cause chaos in the army and cause a larger-scale rout." Vatutin persuaded.

"How about you go back in person? To take over the command of Moscow and execute these abominable traitors on my behalf! Traitors of the revolution!" Stalin asked Vatutin without diverting his attention.

What are you kidding? He managed to escape from that mess, and then ran back to his death at this time?

Of course, Vatutin was reluctant to go back. He felt that he still had a bright future, and he did not need to be buried in Moscow and accompany the capital to be destroyed.

So he hurriedly persuaded: "I went in vain, Rokossovsky and Comrade Konev have done very well..."

"If I go back and take over rashly, the grassroots troops need to be familiar with it. It will take more than a month to wait until I have full control of the situation." To the point where options are not feasible.

Sure enough, after thinking for a few seconds, Stalin gave up the plan to let Vatutin go back: "That's right, there is no need for a loyal warrior like you to die with those cowards!"

Seeing Stalin calm down, the secretary glanced at the embarrassed officer standing there, and said, "If there is any bad news, just read it! Comrade Stalin doesn't like to be concealed."

Hearing this order, the officer knew that he was unlucky today and could only stay here to carry out the mourning mission that no one was willing to carry out.

So he grimaced and continued the message in Nian's hand: "On the same day, the German Army Group North officially occupied Tver... The Ivankov Reservoir is in emergency~www.wuxiaspot.com~ This is in the northern part of Moscow. The battle was reported, and before that, before Leningrad existed, the northern theater of Moscow was fairly safe.

But now, over time, the German army has taken control of Leningrad, which is already a German supply center.

After the loss of Leningrad, the northern part of Moscow was not heavily guarded by the Soviet army, so it was natural for the German army to take advantage of it.

Now that Army Group North had advanced north of Moscow, Konev's line of defense had doubled to more than 100 kilometers.

Of course, this is just the beginning. Before Stalin could digest this extremely disturbing news, another bad news followed.

The officer continued to read: "On June 3, the German army captured Tula and began to advance in the direction of Ryazan. The Rokossovsky group tried to stop the German advance near Ryazan."

"Tula has fallen?" The secretary was quite frightened when she heard the news. A few days ago, they were still in the Ryazan region not far from Tula.
