"Comrade Joseph, the Southern Front Army has already begun rebuilding. But the other Front Armies have suffered equally grievous losses. Even if they hold out until winter, they will not have many troops left. We must probably begin rebuilding now. Only then, when spring comes next year, will we be fully prepared and have enough troops to launch a counterattack against the Germans!" Marshal Voroshilov suggested.
After careful consideration, Joseph nodded. After full-scale mobilization, Buru did not lack manpower. Of course, the newly formed units might be lacking in weapons, equipment, and training. But if they could gain a winter's breathing space, all those disadvantages could be made up for. By then, they would have sufficient strength to continue contending with the Germans.
"Do you have a concrete plan?" Joseph asked.
"Comrade Joseph, this is our detailed plan!" General Shaposhnikov handed a reorganization plan to Joseph.
Joseph began reading it carefully. Under this reorganization plan, several Russian Front Armies would all be strengthened.
In addition to rebuilding its existing Army Corps, the Western Front would also receive the 19th, 20th, 21st, 22nd, 28th, 29th, 30th, 31st, 32nd, 33rd, 39th, 43rd, 49th, 50th, 61st, and 68th Army Corps, the 1st Assault Army Corps, the 10th and 11th Guards Army Corps, the 4th Tank Army Corps, and the 4th Air Army Corps.

The entire Front Army would possess nearly three million troops.
Without question, this would become the strongest of the Russian Front Armies, both in troop strength and overall power.
Of course, as the force directly confronting the German military, no amount of reinforcement would be excessive. Especially after Germany's Army Group B received reinforcements from
