Chapter 1116 Stubbornness

The reason why Marshal Voroshilov and General Shaposhnikov have been able to reach such a high position in Bue today is inseparable from the fact that they hugged Joseph's thigh tightly. At the same time, this is also inseparable from their personal talents. Joseph is not a fool, how could it be possible for a mediocre person to serve as the People's Commissar of National Defense and the Chief of the General Staff?

Unless Joseph really doesn't want to win the war.

From the perspective of Marshal Voroshilov and General Shaposhnikov, it can naturally be seen that the current war is very unfavorable to Bu Russia. Although the war has only just begun, they have already been pinned down. And, as the losses get bigger and bigger, their disadvantages will become more and more obvious. Before long, it is estimated that the front line will collapse.

"We have to find a way to preserve the vitality of the troops as much as possible. Otherwise, once the losses are too large, it will not be conducive to the next war!" Marshal Voroshilov said.

General Shaposhnikov nodded: "Our advantage lies in the vast land area and huge army. It is really not a good way to fight the Germans in the west. The Germans began to count on us 20 years ago. Yes, a large number of roads and railways have been built on the western front. Relying on those transportation networks, the Germans can quickly advance in the west, and it is difficult for us to resist their attacks. If we continue to defend this area, our loss will only be It's going to get bigger and bigger."

"Yes, it is best for us to retreat to the east and rely on big cities to stop the Germans. In this way, the German logistics supply line can be further extended. For us, the disadvantage will be much smaller." Voloshi Marshal Love said.

"However, Comrade Joseph may not agree to the retreat of the army. If they do, it would be voluntarily giving up a large area of ​​territory." General Shaposhnikov said.

As Joseph's confidants, they undoubtedly knew Joseph very well, knowing how much he valued territory, it was absolutely impossible for them to agree to give up so much territory for nothing.

"No matter what, we have to try it. Only in that way will it be possible to preserve the vitality of the army and continue the war. Otherwise, we may soon be defeated by the Germans." Marshal Voroshilov stood firm.

Marshal Shaposhnikov thought for a while, then nodded: "At least, the Southern Front Army has to withdraw. If it is later, I am afraid it will be too late. Once the Southern Front Army loses, the entire Southern Front will collapse. of."

"Okay, then we'll go see Comrade Joseph right away," Voroshilov said.

Voroshilov and Shaposhnikov rushed to the Kremlin to report the current frontline situation to Joseph. When he heard that several of his own front armies were suppressed and suffered heavy losses, Joseph's face was so gloomy that it seemed that water could drip out. Although the German military is powerful, he knows it very well. However, he never thought that in front of the Germans, Bu Russia's army would be so vulnerable.

"That is to say, we can't resist the German attack?" Joseph asked with a dark face.

"Yes, Comrade Joseph. At least judging from the current situation, the Germans are too well prepared, and their previous calculations against us allow them to use the justified transportation network. Our advantage has been taken by them The further weakening has reached the extreme." Marshal Voroshilov said.

"The Germans are indeed too cunning. No one would have thought that the Germans have been plotting against us since more than 20 years ago!" Joseph's face became even more ugly.

At the beginning, the success of the Russian revolution was due to the support of Germany. Although, at that time, he thought that the reason why the Germans helped them was that there was a big conspiracy. However, after Tsarist Russia was overthrown, Germany won on the Eastern Front. Joseph once thought that the German conspiracy was over. But now it seems that he thinks everything is too simple.

After this idea came out, Joseph couldn't help but feel a chill all over his body, and his confidence was even shaken a little. However, he then once again strengthened his confidence. Because, now Buer has no way out. The war has already begun, and the Germans will never stop unless they destroy Bu Russia. Therefore, if you want Bu Russia to continue to exist, you must do everything possible to defeat the Germans.

"No matter how cunning the Germans are, we must defeat them! Otherwise, our country will perish, and our people will be enslaved by the Germans! I believe that as long as all the Bu Russians can unite Get up, the final victory will definitely be ours!" Joseph said.

Voroshilov and Shaposhnikov nodded, and they also knew very well that there was no way for Buer to retreat now. Either defeat Germany, one of the urban world powers, or be destroyed by Germany,

"Comrade Joseph, we hope to order the troops to abandon the frontline positions and retreat to the hinterland. In this way, we can retain the main force of our troops. At the same time, shifting the front to the east can further lengthen the German logistics supply line. Also It can buy us more time to train the newly mobilized army and improve their combat effectiveness! This will play a big role in defeating the Germans." General Shaposhnikov said.

Joseph's brows were furrowed, and it was undoubtedly unacceptable for him to ask them to voluntarily give up those territories in the west. You know, that is a large territory, and it can almost be regarded as the essence of Buer. After losing those territories, Bu Russia will once again lose its strength greatly.

In addition, from the bottom of his heart, Joseph is also the kind of great power chauvinist. He doesn't want to lose every inch of land.

"Shaposhnikov, the enemy is indeed very strong, but if we escape like this, how can we defeat the Germans? Now, we must show a stronger fighting spirit and let every soldier bravely fight against the Germans." people to fight and attack them. Only in this way can we have a greater chance of winning the next war," Joseph said.

Both Voroshilov and Shaposhnikov couldn't help sighing. They knew that Joseph's stubborn old problem had happened again. Now he, I'm afraid he can't listen to the advice. If the troops on the western front do not retreat, this will undoubtedly increase the losses of the Russian army. This will be very unfavorable for subsequent wars. But sadly, there is simply nothing else they can do about it.
