Chapter 930 Siberia (4)

"Siberia has also rebelled?!"

The top leaders in Washington were also shocked when they heard the news. First it was the Far East, this time it was Siberia, and now Moscow has really become a lonely and isolated family.

"Isn't this Beria Stalin's number one confidant? Why did he take the lead in betraying Stalin?" The number one confidant became the number one traitor, which was really unexpected!

"That guy must have felt that the Soviet Union had no hope and found a way out for himself. Maybe he had colluded with the Germans a long time ago. He is not the first, nor will he be the last, so there is no need to make a fuss." As for what Beria said about "Stalin's ten major crimes", they were not very concerned. After all, at this time, let alone the ten major crimes, even if there were hundreds of thousands of crimes, what would happen? The Soviet marshals who defected before had already put a lot of hats on Stalin and poured a lot of dirty water on him. Maybe Stalin had been immune to it.

"Wouldn't that make Moscow even worse? Needless to say, the weapons and equipment and troops, Moscow may not have enough food."

After the outbreak of the war, the Soviet Union successively lost grain producing areas such as Belarus and Ukraine, and relied almost entirely on Siberia for food.

As early as 1604, the Russian Empire completed its occupation of the entire Siberia, marked by the establishment of the Tomsk Fortress along the Irtysh River. After several centuries of development and development, agriculture and animal husbandry in Siberia have been greatly developed, especially the construction of the Siberian Railway and the arrival of a large number of immigrants. The former broadened the sales channels of agriculture and animal husbandry in the area, and the latter provided a large number of labor forces for Siberia, making the agricultural development in the area more rapid.

Before 1917, the grain output in Siberia had reached 17% of the total output of Russia. The output of meat products, grains, cream and other products in Siberia increased rapidly and began to be sold all over the country and even exported abroad.

This is just the contribution in terms of food. In terms of animal husbandry, the vast West Siberian Plain provides a good environment for the development of animal husbandry, making the per capita livestock possession in Siberia exceed the national average of Russia. The meat and cream produced in this area are one of the best places in the world for producing butter.

Now that Siberia has rebelled, no grain will be shipped to Moscow in the future.

At this time, the number of soldiers and civilians in Moscow is close to 10 million. So many mouths need to eat. If one kilogram of food is consumed per person per day, 10,000 tons of food will be consumed per day. How long will Moscow's food reserves last? The Germans don't even need to attack. They can make Moscow collapse by trapping him for a year or two.

However, the Germans should not have the patience to wait for a year or two. In more than a month, when the temperature begins to rise, they will launch a general offensive. That will be the ultimate decisive battle concerning the fate of the Soviet Union and Germany; of course, at this point, no one is optimistic about the Soviet Union, including the United States. If the United States did not participate in this war, those casinos in Las Vegas might open gambling games to bet on how many days Moscow can hold on.

The demise of the Soviet Union was a foregone conclusion, and the Americans did not expect the Soviet Union to defeat Germany and counterattack Europe. They only hoped that the Soviet Union could severely inflict heavy damage on the German army and buy more time for the United States.

"Mr. President, the coastline radar station has discovered a group of German bombers, with more than 500 of them." At this time, the secretary hurried in to report.

"..." Everyone's face was a little ugly, but there was no surprise or shock.

Because this was the fifth time that the German army had bombed more than 500 aircraft. The first four times the German army bombed four cities, including Portland, Detroit, Philadelphia, and Boston, into ruins, or to be more precise, burned them into ruins. What's more terrifying is that the German army seems to have accelerated the production speed of this high-altitude bomber, and each bombing will increase the number by dozens. It won't be long before the Germans will be able to gather 1,000 aircraft and have a veritable thousand-aircraft bombing.

"These damn bastards!" Apart from cursing, they are still helpless about this.

"If this goes on, the Germans will destroy all our cities! Can't you think of a solution?!" Vice President Truman was almost mad, and wanted to grab Commander Arnold by the collar and ask him to come up with a solution immediately.

Commander Arnold could only sigh helplessly.

It's not that there is no solution. Most of these bombers are ME-264D high-altitude bombers (there are also a small number of B-3 anti-aircraft guns that can deal with them, but as mentioned in the previous article, this kind of super-large caliber anti-aircraft gun is difficult to produce, and producing two guns a day is the maximum speed.

How can we defend every city with such a pitiful output? Even if they can predict the next bombing target of the German army and deploy one or two anti-aircraft gun positions outside the city, with the Germans' intelligence capabilities, they will definitely be able to get a detailed deployment map, thereby bypassing these anti-aircraft gun positions and suddenly Enter the city and drop bombs. Even if they really can't avoid it, they can change the target and continue bombing. After all, the United States has more than one or two cities.

As for high-altitude fighters, the XP-67 high-altitude fighter is simply vulnerable in front of the German high-altitude fighters. Commander Arnold simply stopped producing this fighter.

Amid the depressed sighs of the crowd, the German bomber formation flew over New Haven, dropped more than 3,000 tons of incendiary bombs, and left.

On the other side, in the "underground Kremlin" in Moscow, several senior officials gathered in Stalin's ward.

Stalin was still cursing those shameless rebels in Siberia, when Konev coughed lightly and spoke. "Comrade Stalin, maybe you should consider negotiating with the Germans." He also heard that the conditions proposed by the Germans last time were to let them give up Moscow. Although this condition sounds quite absurd, it is not unacceptable under the current situation.

"..." Seeing the muscles on Stalin's face trembling slightly and his eyes blazing with fire, Konev quickly explained. "In this way, we can deal with those damn traitors in the rear." Now that Moscow has gathered more than 5 million troops, as long as it marches eastward, the traitors in Siberia will naturally not be able to resist it. When the time comes, the capital will be moved to Siberia and a Siberian Republic will be established. It’s not impossible.

After hearing Konev's explanation, the others looked at each other and felt that it was not unreasonable. And once they retreat to Siberia, relying on the natural danger of the Ural Mountains, the Germans will not be able to easily defeat them.

Everyone looked at Stalin expectantly, but heard him say extremely firmly. "As long as I am still breathing, I will not cede an inch of land! Nor will I live in contention! What we have to do now is to hold on to every inch of our position until the last moment! Until the German invaders are repulsed or completely fell!"

Seeing that Comrade Stalin had made up his mind, it was natural for others to say nothing. "Please rest assured, Comrade Stalin, we will persist until the last moment and never take a step back!" (Sorry, today's chapter)
