In Moscow in early April, although the temperature was not high yet, it had risen above freezing. This was already very warm weather for Russians, which is very resistant to frost.
If it weren't for the tense war situation, Russians would probably start enjoying the coming beautiful spring.
But unfortunately, during the war now, the Germany people have already captured Smolensk, which is only three hundred kilometers away from Moscow. With the terrifying advancement speed of Germany, it would take at most three months to reach Moscow. By then, will Buru's army be able to withstand the Germany people's attack?
Although, Buru's current military strength is still very large. And they are still frantically mobilizing to further expand the size of their troops. However, I am afraid that the Russian army is not very sure about whether it can withstand German offensive. After all, last year's crazy attack caused a great shock to the Russian army. It also made them deeply aware of the gap between the two sides.
Kremlin, Joseph got up very early. Since realizing that Russia was in a life-and-death situation, Joseph worked even harder. There are countless documents that he has to read every day. But even so, the role it can play in improving Buru's military strength and helping Buru defeat German military is undoubtedly very limited.
"Comrade Joseph, Comrade Shaposhnikov is here!" the secretary reported.
"Well, let Comrade Shaposhnikov come in!" Joseph put down the file in his hand.
Shaposhnikov, who had been promoted to marshal, walked into Joseph's office. Although Politburo member was not able to take over the position of Marshal Voroshilov, Shaposhnikov was very satisfied with being promoted to marshal.
"Comrade Joseph, good morning!" Shaposhnikov was very humble in front of Joseph.
"Please sit down, Comrade Shaposhnikov!" Joseph nodded.
Although, Great Purge caused many of Buru's military talents to be killed, causing the soft power of Buru's army to decline very quickly. However, Great Purge is not without its benefits. At least, the political commissar system vigorously promoted by Joseph has been promoted throughout the army. This gave Joseph complete control over Buru's army, and no one could disobey his orders anymore. Of course, it is difficult to say whether this is a good thing for Buru.
"Comrade Joseph, according to the intelligence we have obtained, the Germans are probably preparing for the next large-scale attack. A large amount of war supplies are being transported from Germany to the front line. At the same time, the German army is also rushing from the second line to the first line. The German servants are also gathering. This time, more German servant countries will send troops to the battlefield. This means that we may have to face more enemy attacks!" Shaposhnikov said.
Joseph's face suddenly became very ugly. When it comes to the number of troops, Buru is never afraid of Germany. After all, Buru has a larger population than Germany. Even if Germany implements a policy to encourage childbirth, it is obviously impossible for the population to exceed Buru in a short period of time. At the same time, the mobilization intensity of Buru is far stronger than that of Germany. This allows Buru to arm more troops. However, if Germany's servant countries are included, Buru will not have the slightest advantage in the army. After all, Germany has so many servant countries that even one country cannot mobilize many troops. But when a small amount adds up to a large amount, the quantity is still very large.
"This also means that the Germany people's attack will probably start soon. Moreover, this time the Germany people want to do their best to defeat us. Can our army withstand the Germany people's attack?" Joseph asked.
"Comrade Joseph, our army will definitely do its best to resist the attack of the Germany people. However, we have to admit that there is a big gap between the combat effectiveness of our army and the Germany people. Germany's Armored Forces is more powerful than us. The firepower of their troops is also far superior to ours. The performance of their air force's fighters can also completely crush ours." Shaposhnikov said. These gaps exist objectively, so Shaposhnikov is not afraid of Joseph being angry.
Although Joseph's face became increasingly ugly, he knew that Shaposhnikov was telling the truth. The foundation of Buru is still too weak, so that there is still a very big gap between them and Germany in terms of military technology. This also resulted in the Russian army being no match for German military in the war. However, this obviously cannot be made up for in a short time.
"In other words, are we bound to lose this time?" Joseph asked.
"Comrade Joseph, the probability of us defeating Germany is indeed very low. However, this is not absolute. After all, Germany's opponents are not only us. On Pacific Ocean, Island Nation has already competed with Germany The E people are fighting. If the Island Nation people can perform better and contain the strength of more Germany people, it will undoubtedly be of great help to us. In addition, Americans has not promised that he will soon report to Germany. Are the people declaring war? United States has strong industrial strength and military strength. If they can participate in the war, they will definitely be able to further contain the Germany people. Now, the Germany people have invested most of their military power in the war. In our battle, if Americans can attract some of the Germany people's military strength, then our situation will be much better. If nothing else, at least we can survive. The longer it takes, the better it will be for us." Shaposhnikov said.
Joseph nodded, even though he didn't want to admit it, it was the fact. With Buru's own strength, it seems impossible to withstand Germany's attack, so he can only pin his hopes on others.
Of course, there's nothing to be ashamed of. Who made Germany's military strength so powerful? No country in the world may be able to contend with the powerful Germany on its own.
"The Island Nation people have already joined the war. I hope they can hold back more of the Germany people. Over at Americans, I will ask the United States representative to urge Americans. If we lose the war, it will not be a good thing for Americans. I hope Americans can join the war as soon as possible!" Joseph said.
Shaposhnikov nodded. If Buru were defeated, then United States would have to resist the powerful military power of Germany. With the strength of United States, it may be difficult to resist it.
