Chapter 845 Situation
Three days after Chuikov contacted Germany and other forces in the Far East, the entire Far East launched an unprecedented bloody purge.
It can be said that they are quite familiar with this; the previous purge was to "deal with" those traitors who betrayed the Soviet Union and Stalin, and to purge hostile elements; and the target of this purge is those who are loyal to Stalin.
"Comrade Stalin, Comrade Stalin, something seems to have happened in the Far East!" Beria hurried into Stalin's office.
"What happened? Where did the Germans bomb again?" A few days ago, German bombers began to bomb major cities in the Far East. Not only were the cities destroyed, but even the supplies supported by the Americans were also lost. He was very distressed.
"We haven't contacted the Far East for several days. The Far East seems to have cut off all communication channels with Moscow."
"What?!" Stalin was shocked and the pipe in his hand fell to the ground. "Find out what happened immediately!"
"Yes!" Beria hurriedly left the office. Stalin looked at the Far East on the map with a gloomy face, and felt a sense of uneasiness in his heart.
Before Beria could find any clues, the purge in the Far East had come to an end. After all, their target was only Stalin's diehards, and these people were easy to be targeted. Chuikov made a radio speech, announcing to the world that the Far East had officially left the Soviet Union and joined the European Union. Declaring war on the Soviet Union and the United States, he completed the huge transformation of changing his own camp.
"These traitors!!" Listening to the news from the radio, Stalin was so angry that he trembled all over, his face turned pale, and he suddenly spit out a mouthful of blood, and the whole person fell straight to the ground.
"Comrade Stalin, Comrade Stalin!" The office was in chaos, and everyone rushed him to the emergency room.
President Wilkie in Washington was also sent to the emergency room.
When he heard the news, President Wilkie rolled his eyes and fainted on the spot.
Everyone who stayed in the conference room sighed deeply. Now they have lost their last forward base on the Eurasian continent. Even if they sneak around the German interception, there is no possibility of transporting supplies.
"Are there still our troops in the Far East?"
"About 60,000 to 70,000. Because the Siberian Railway was frequently damaged, they failed to rush to the front in time and were stranded in the Far East."
"Then wouldn't they... have they been contacted?!"
"I'm afraid they have all been disarmed and become prisoners of these Soviets. This is a great gift to the Germans."
"Damn, these bastards!!" Their soldiers traveled thousands of miles to fight the Germans, but they were captured by their original allies without even seeing the shadow of the Germans. Could there be anything more cowardly than this? !
In addition to the 60,000 to 70,000 soldiers, what is even more distressing is the supplies that were sent to support them. Like these soldiers, because of the blockage of the Siberian Railway, many supplies were stranded in the Far East. Now they have all fallen into the pockets of others, and may even be cheap for the Germans.
"Can we negotiate with this Chuikov, and let them release our soldiers and return the aid materials on the condition that we recognize their independence?"
"..."Marshall couldn't help rolling his eyes. They still need our recognition? What effect does it have besides being ridiculed and humiliating?
"I hope the Soviets can win and hold Moscow." Once the Soviets really hold Moscow, and severely damage the Germans, or even repel them, then there will be a turning point in this war, and then all this in the Far East will be nothing but a farce. But this "hope" has a very important premise, that is, the Soviets must defeat millions of European troops. And these troops are not second-rate stuff without combat effectiveness, but elite troops who have fought all the way. It seems to be harder than climbing to the sky to defeat them.
Once the Soviets lose Moscow, it will be the end of the Soviet Union. At that time, the Germans will turn their spearheads to the United States. This makes all the top American officials feel unprecedented uneasiness, and there is almost no hope of victory in this war.
Many senior officials in the United States wanted to negotiate with the Germans, but the Germans were unwilling to negotiate. Last time, they were fooled by them and lost 200 tons of gold in vain. In this case, they could only bite the bullet and continue to fight. Once this war was lost, the Germans would have absolute say in Europe, Asia and Africa, and the United States would be excluded from the world and might even be torn apart.
"Will the Germans attack Alaska after occupying the Far East?"
When Alaska was bought, many people thought it was a loss-making deal. Some people said it was the stupidest thing the United States had ever done, and some people said that the United States bought a refrigerator and a frog pond.
But as time went by, people discovered that Alaska had great political, economic and military significance.
Alaska is vast and rich in forests, minerals and fishery resources. Not long after Russia sold Alaska to the United States, Americans discovered rich gold mines here. According to historical records, during the period from 1896 to 1914, a huge gold rush swept the United States, and the amount of gold produced here ranked second among all regions.
The United States has made statistics on this. In less than 50 years, the Juneau Gold Mine in Alaska has taken out $150 million worth of gold. If calculated based on the money used to buy Alaska, this gold can buy about 20 Alaskas.
And its military value is immeasurable. Alaska is located in the northwest corner of North America. It is the connection between Asia and North America. It is a bridge between the United States and Asian countries. In particular, the Aleutian Islands here have brought many conveniences to the US military.
Alaska was also crucial to the United States during the Cold War. It became a sentinel for the United States to monitor the Soviet Union and the Far East, and established a ballistic missile early warning system here, deploying many nuclear submarines and ballistic missiles.
Until later generations, Alaska also played an indelible role in the United States. It became an important monitoring station and early warning base for the United States in the Asia-Pacific region. It is the frontier position for the US Air Force to conduct strategic reconnaissance, early warning and homeland air defense, and it is also the center of the US Army's training in extreme cold regions.
The Germans have deployed heavy bombers at the airport on Adak Island, which is enough to bomb the entire Alaska.
If the Germans set their sights on this precious land, can they keep it?
(I've been a bit busy lately, so there may only be one chapter in the next two days, sorry)
