Chapter 1575: doomsday (happy new year)

   "Comrade Shaposhnikov, will our army be able to withstand the German attack in Nizhny Novgodero?" Molotov asked.

   "This..." Marshal Shaposhnikov hesitated for a moment, but still shook his head.

"Although the Germans only dispatched a few divisions, these German troops are elite armored units and mechanized units. The number of tanks alone is more than 1,000. At the same time, the Luftwaffe also dispatched a large number of fighter planes to support They. This makes it very difficult for our army to resist the German attack. Unless we can gather more troops to Nizhny Novgodero, otherwise, we will not be able to resist the German attack of.

   It's just that the Germans are not far from Nizhny Novgodero, and all the troops we assembled were attacked by the Germans, which made it impossible for us to have enough time to gather troops. "

  Marshal Shaposhnikov explained the difficulties he was facing now one by one.

  The members of the Russian Politburo looked even more ugly. From the words of Marshal Shaposhnikov, they can understand that now they simply do not have enough military power to resist the German attack. Once the German army hits Nizhny Novgodero, I am afraid they will all have to become prisoners.

  Although, Russia is now heading for extinction step by step. However, these members of the Politburo in Russia did not want to become prisoners of the Germans, or even lose their lives. They still want to continue to persevere, and no matter how bad they are, they will flee to Siberia. Although the conditions there are a bit tough, for leaders like them, they will not suffer, and they can still enjoy better treatment.

   "Comrade Shaposhnikov, since Nizhny Novgodero can no longer be defended, we must make plans as soon as possible." Andreyev said.

   "I agree, we must move east as soon as possible. Otherwise, once the Germans come over, we will all be captured or even killed by them." Zhdanov also said.

  Other members of the Russian Politburo also expressed their views. As the German army is getting closer and closer to Nizhny Novgodero, they don't want to stay here to die.

   "What about Comrade Joseph?" Marshal Shaposhnikov asked.

   "How about Comrade Shaposhnikov stay and command the army to fight, and at the same time take care of Comrade Joseph." Kaganovich said.

  Marshal Shaposhnikov's face suddenly became very ugly, although he can be regarded as loyal to Joseph. However, it does not mean that he is willing to give up his life. If you stay, it is estimated to be a dead end.

   "Everyone, if I stay, can you be sure that you can command the remaining army? Whether it is the army on the Eastern European Plain or Siberia, will they accept your command?" Marshal Shaposhnikov said coldly.

  Although, Marshal Shaposhnikov's status in the party is not as good as these Politburo members. However, whoever holds the gun holds the real power. During Joseph's reign, control of the military was strengthened through the political system. Shaposhnikov, Joseph's confidant, also holds great power. Now that Joseph is missing, Shaposhnikov is fully capable of replacing Joseph and continuing to control these armies.

  Suddenly, the faces of the members of the Politburo became ugly. They all knew what Marshal Shaposhnikov meant.

"Okay, everyone. The current situation is very unfavorable to us. It is the time when we should unite as one and not fight among ourselves. Otherwise, we will be destroyed by the Germans faster." Molotov stood out.

  Other members of the Politburo also nodded. Although they are powerful, they do not control the army. Under such circumstances, it would obviously not do them any good to fall out with Marshal Shaposhnikov.

   "Since Nizhny Novgodero can't be defended anymore, let's retreat to Kazan together. Then we will retreat to Ufa, cross the Ural Mountains, and head to Chelyabinsk." Andreyev said.

   Marshal Shaposhnikov nodded, he now recognized the faces of these guys clearly. This also made him more determined that he must control the army. Otherwise, maybe he didn't even know when he was sold.

  After reaching an agreement, the Russian government agencies and troops began to retreat quickly from Nizhny Novgodero. This was beyond the expectation of the German army, and even made the German army think that Joseph had arrived in Nizhny Novgodero. Otherwise, how could the Russian army make such a change?

   Fortunately, according to the information received from the intelligence personnel, Joseph still has not shown up, which made the German army feel relieved and continued to attack.

   Moreover, when the Russian army began to retreat sharply, the advancing speed of the German army was further increased.

  When the German army quickly advanced to Nizhny Novgodero, Joseph was still dozens of kilometers away from Nizhny Novgodero.

  Many units of the 4th Guards Infantry Division have been lost, and now only a few hundred people remain with Joseph. They stumbled on the muddy path.

  Joseph is now covered in mud, looking very embarrassed, walking on the road with deep feet and shallow feet. After walking a few steps, I had to stop to breathe, looking very tired.

"Comrade Joseph, we are not far from Nizhny Novgodero, and we will be there in two days. At that time, we can change to a train and head to Kazan." Marshal Voroshilov said in Said beside Joseph.

   "Yeah!" Joseph nodded. He swore that this period of time was definitely the most difficult time for him, even harder than fighting guerrillas in the Caucasus Mountains back then.

  At this moment, several Russian soldiers stumbled towards them. The most elite scouts in these troops, Joseph sent them to rush to Nizhny Novgodero to convey his orders.

   "Comrade Joseph, something is wrong. The German army is advancing to Novgodero, and it is not far from us." A Russian soldier said.

   "What? How did this happen? How did the Germans come here?" Joseph panicked.

   "Yes, Comrade Joseph. The Germans have mobilized a large number of elite troops to advance to Lower Novgodero. According to the information we have learned, our army cannot resist them at all." The scout said.

   "It's over, this time it's completely over." Marshal Voroshilov looked desperate.
