Chapter 742
In Siberia in January, the temperature was extremely low, and a cold wave from the Arctic swept across the entire Western Siberian Plain. The temperature here has dropped to dozens of degrees below zero. The entire plain was covered with thick ice and snow.
Faced with such extreme cold and a serious shortage of winter supplies, the troops of the Woolly Bear Alliance had to stop outdoor activities and huddled indoors to warm themselves by the fire. Fortunately, this season, the Third Reich has stopped its offensive. Otherwise, they might not be able to withstand the Third Reich's attack at all.
But even so, the units of the Woolly Bear Alliance still suffered serious non-combat attrition.
After escaping to Siberia, feeding, drinking, and sleeping became a big problem for millions of troops. In particular, the Siberian Plain has harsh climate conditions and little production, so it simply cannot support such a large army.
But at this moment, it is impossible for the Woolly Bear Alliance to disband its troops. On the contrary, in order to guard against the attacks of the Third Reich and the Iron Alliance, they must further expand their army and strengthen their training. Otherwise, if war breaks out again, how can they withstand it?
This forced the army of the Woolly Bear Alliance to come up with an old method that had been used for more than 20 years, namely the surplus grain collection system. Forcibly snatch food from the hands of the people to ensure the supply of the army.
This method ensured adequate food supply for the army. But it made the common people complain.
After all, there is only so much food. The army took away the food, and they did not have enough food to survive the winter. No one knows how many people starved to death.
This once again dealt a blow to the influence of the Woolly Bear Alliance in the minds of ordinary people. There are fewer and fewer people who trust the Furry Bear Alliance and are willing to die for the Furry Bear Alliance. There are even many people who are looking forward to the Wooly Bear Alliance losing this war so that the current miserable life can end. The rule of the Woolly Bear Alliance has become increasingly unpopular.
Joseph, who was hiding in Chelyabinsk, seemed to know nothing about it.
He was still waiting for a turn in the war situation, waiting for the war between the Third Reich and the Eagle Country and even the Eastern Empire to break out. In this case, the crisis in the Woolly Bear Alliance can be resolved. The Woolly Bear Alliance will be able to persevere. It can even launch a counterattack in future wars, regain lost territory, defeat the Third Reich, and become the overlord of Europe.
It's a pity that all this is just Joseph's daydream. On the surface, the Furry Bear Alliance looks calm at all, but in fact, there are already turbulent undercurrents. The senior leaders of the Furry Bear Alliance already have their own plans.
If the Furry Bear Alliance is compared to a big ship, then this big ship is now full of loopholes and may sink at any time. Under such circumstances, the people on the ship naturally did not want to sink to the bottom of the sea with the ship, but wanted to find a way to get off the ship, or even find a new ship. As the saying goes, husband and wife are like birds in the same forest. When disaster strikes, they fly separately. Not to mention that these leaders of the Woolly Bear Alliance are not even husband and wife. At most, they are just a group of people with a common ideal.
Moreover, their ideals gradually disappeared with the defeat of the war. Now they hope to save their own lives. If you can keep your own value, that would be the best thing.
Marshal Shaposhnikov once again served as the leader of the Woolly Bear Alliance, and the former chief of general staff, General Zhukov, died in Mosk. Joseph couldn't find a suitable candidate for a while, so he had to let Marshal Nikov serve concurrently. After all, Marshal Shaposhnikov is considered his and has always been loyal to him.
Under such circumstances, for the sake of own safety, it is natural to let the army be in the hands of one's own people.
Marshal Shaposhnikov braved the heavy snow and after looking around at the troops stationed around Chelyabinsk, he finally returned to his office.
However, Marshal Shaposhnikov's brows have been frowning tightly.
This inspection made Marshal Shaposhnikov very dissatisfied.
Due to the lack of preparations for winter supplies, the Wooly Bear Alliance suffered very serious non-combat attrition due to the cold winter. Countless people died from frostbite.
The more important point is that Marshal Shaposhnikov found that many troops were disobeying his orders. This also means that these armies are not in his hands, or in other words, they are not in Joseph's hands.
These armies were all built before he arrived. Then, it is natural to imagine whose orders these armies follow.
"Damn it, what do those guys want? Are they going to stage a betrayal at this juncture? Do you think you can find a way out by betraying the great elder?"Marshal Shaposhnikov was very angry.
He subconsciously wanted to report this to Joseph, but then he hesitated.
Marshal Shaposhnikov knew Joseph's character very well.
If Joseph knew that If someone wants to betray him, the consequences will be very serious.
Maybe, Joseph will directly order those guys to be arrested.
However, those guys are not just meat on the chopping board, just to be slaughtered by them. They will definitely resist with all their strength.. This will undoubtedly cause extremely serious internal strife among the troops within the Woolly Bear Alliance. What will ultimately weaken is the strength of the Woolly Bear Alliance.
Once the Third Reich launches its offensive again next spring, the Furry Bear Alliance will suffer heavy losses in the internal strife. It is impossible for the army to withstand the attack of the Third Reich.
Of course, even if there is no internal strife, based on the current situation, the army of the Woolly Bear Alliance is also no match for the Third Reich.
They are just lingering now. That's it.
Once the Third Reich came over, they would definitely lose.
This made Marshal Shaposhnikov not report the situation to Joseph immediately, so as not to arouse Joseph's anger.
But Marshal Shaposhnikov It is clear that these problems must be solved. Otherwise, very big problems will arise
"Your Excellency, Marshal, Comrade Molotov wishes to see you."The adjutant reported to Marshal Shaposhnikov
"oh? That guy Molotov? What is he here for? Let him in!"Marshal Shaposhnikov ordered.
This is his headquarters, and safety is naturally no problem.
He wants to see what Molotov and others want to do._Please download the novel without underlining Feilu Novel APP!··
