Chapter 1557 Joseph's Despair

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Violent explosions continued to sound in the city of Moscow, and the remaining buildings were destroyed one after another amidst the explosions. As the German army and its allies invaded the city of Moscow, the artillery positions of the German army continued to advance, and now they are fully able to cover the entire city of Moscow with artillery fire.

Although the Luftwaffe also provided sufficient air support for the Army's attack on Moscow. But the army's artillery is undoubtedly a support weapon for 24 hours a day. This made the Army's attack on Moscow more dependent on the fire support provided by artillery.

The attack of the German army and its allies in the city of Moscow went smoothly. Although the speed of advancement was not fast, they were able to cause a large number of casualties to the Russian army in every attack, causing the Russian army to lose more and more. It can be said that the overall strategy of the German army was successful. Their strategy of bleeding Russia by attacking Moscow was done. If it goes on like this, it is estimated that it will not be long before Russia will shed blood. Once that time comes, Russia will inevitably perish.

The resistance of the Russian army is still very tenacious. Encouraged by political workers, the Russian army showed a very tenacious will to fight. They were in the city of Moscow, step by step, competing with the German army for every position in the city of Moscow, even every ruin. It is precisely because of the brave fighting of the Russian army that they suffered heavy losses.

Of course, this is also what the German army is happy to see. For the German army, the capture of big cities like Moscow and Josephgrad is of great significance. However, they are also very clear that if they want to destroy Russia, it is far from enough to simply capture these cities, and they must wipe out the vital forces of the Russian army in one fell swoop. Only in this way can Russia have no way to compete any longer and have to surrender to the German army. Or, be completely wiped out by the German army.

In fact, the top Russian leaders, especially Joseph, also put their hopes of victory on the Americans. The situation in Russia is already very bad now, and all fools know that it is impossible to defeat Germany only by Russia's own strength. Therefore, they all hope that the United States can enter the war as soon as possible, and look forward to the United States being able to defeat Germany. In this case, the main force of Germany would have to withdraw from the Russian battlefield. Then Russia will get a respite from this.

But now, as Russia wishes, the United States has entered the war ahead of schedule. Unfortunately, the final result was not what the Russians wanted to see. The victory they expected not only did not come, but brought a disastrous defeat. This is undoubtedly not the result Russia wants to see. It is also a result that makes them desperate.

The Kremlin, Joseph's office, Marshal Shaposhnikov, Chief of the Russian Army's General Staff, is reporting the situation to Joseph.

"Comrade Joseph, the U.S. military suffered a crushing defeat on the Azores. They lost a total of 15 aircraft carriers, 9 capital ships, 19 heavy cruisers, 28 light cruisers and 63 destroyers. And their carrier-based aircraft were almost The loss is exhausted. It can be said that the U.S. Navy has suffered a near-destructive blow. This will make it difficult for the U.S. Navy to pose a threat to the German Navy in the next battle. The U.S. wants to seize the command of the Atlantic Ocean. It is almost impossible to pose a threat to Germany," Marshal Shaposhnikov said.

Although he knew such a result, it was not what Joseph wanted to see. However, the fact is the case, and he has no way to hide it!

Sure enough, Joseph's face was so gloomy that water dripped out. He confidently hopes that the United States can defeat the Germans to ease the pressure on Russia. However, in the end it was such a result, which really disappointed him.

"How is this? The Americans are so powerful? With such a powerful navy, how could they lose?" Joseph murmured. It seems that at this moment, he still can't believe that there will be such a result.

"Comrade Joseph, the German navy is too powerful, stronger than we expected. That's why the Americans will lose, and they will lose so badly!" Marshal Shaposhnikov said.

"Is there no other way?" A trace of deep helplessness and despair flashed in Joseph's eyes. Not even when Moscow fell under German siege had he been so desperate. But now, he has no confidence at all.

"Comrade Joseph, it depends on the Americans. However, based on the analysis of the current situation, the chances of the Americans making a comeback may not be high," Marshal Shaposhnikov said.

Joseph fell into silence for a moment, obviously he was thinking, if the U.S. Navy cannot defeat the German Navy and threaten Europe, what should Russia do? With their current strength, I'm afraid they won't last long at all.

"Comrade Joseph, there may be a turning point. The Americans also know that if they cannot defeat the Germans, then what awaits them will inevitably be doom. The Germans must first defeat other countries, and then concentrate on dealing with the United States Yes. At that time, they will still only fail. Therefore, after losing this time, the Americans will definitely do their best to prepare to challenge the German Navy again. If the US Navy can win next time, everything will turn around." Marshal Voroshilov said.

Joseph nodded. He also thought that the U.S. Navy would not easily admit defeat. At the same time, he also hopes that the US Navy will win next time. In this case, the crisis in Russia may be resolved.

"Comrade Joseph, things are not that simple. The U.S. Navy has suffered too much this time, and it will take a lot of time for them to recover their strength. Even after this failure, the Americans will become even stronger. Be cautious. Therefore, if they want to challenge the Germans, they may accumulate more strength and wait for a longer time. And we, can we still persist until that day?" Marshal Shaposhnikov continued.

Immediately, Joseph's expression became very scary, and he also knew that Marshal Shaposhnikov was definitely not alarmist, but was stating the facts.

Now, the Germans, with their entourage, are storming Moscow and Josephgrad. The Russian army loses a lot of troops every day. Even if they tried their best, they couldn't last much longer. From this point of view, perhaps before the U.S. Navy regains its strength, they will fall first.
