"Comrades, the current situation shows that victory in the Great Patriotic War depends on the gains and losses of the Caucasian fortresses, and not on the city of Moscow.
Because Moscow is just an isolated city of little value, while the Caucasus has 70% of the Soviet Union's oil production capacity, and it is also close to the Middle East, the epicenter of imperialist oil production.
If the operation of the Caucasian GC bastion can be successful, from there we will be able to send the spark of national liberation and the GC revolution throughout the Middle East.
The oppressed peoples of the Middle East will rise up against imperialist colonial rule.
And the imperialist oil supply will also be depleted in a very short time" The Khrushchev, who was gushing about the importance of the Caucasian GC fortress at the G-C-ism Palace in Chelyabinsk, was the one who had just returned from India.
He is now a popular candidate to succeed the cause of GCISM, because the situation of the Indian revolution is relatively good.
Due to the weakness of the National Congress Party led by Gandhi and Nehru, the banner of the national revolution of the Indian revolution also fell into the hands of the Indian Bolshevik Party, and the revolutionary upsurge came.
The Indian Front, commanded by Timoshenko and Khrushchev, swept through northwest India in the first months of '44.
In mid-April, Lahore, the capital of Punjab province, just over 400 kilometres from Delhi, was liberated, and was the second most politically central city in India after Delhi, where the Mughal dynasty had its capital in 15251707.
The liberation of the city seemed to mean that the Indian Revolution was reaching its climax.
However, Khrushchev's purpose in coming to Chelyabinsk from Lahore was not to report on the good situation of the Indian revolution, but to discuss with his comrades the grim situation of the Soviet-German war.
And the members of the Political Bureau who attended the meeting, Stalin, was absent and heard Khrushchev be the first to speak at the beginning of the meeting, and he also trumpeted the fortress of GCISM, all of them were stunned that the content of the discussion at the meeting of the Political Bureau was usually determined in advance, and there was rarely a "surprise attack".
However, Stalin's members of the Political Bureau turned their brains very quickly, and immediately understood what Khrushchev meant.
"Comrade Khrushchev is right," Molotov, who presided over the meeting instead of Stalin, immediately echoed Khrushchev, "the Caucasian g-g-c-ism fortress is indeed more important than Moscow, and without it, our cause will face failure."
As long as the Caucasus was held, the Germans would not have been able to mobilize enough forces to attack the Volga Urals in 1944.
This is of great significance both for us to evacuate the Volga Ural industrial zone and for a fundamental transformation in the Pacific theater. ” His gaze swept around the conference room, and the expressions of surprise and surprise had disappeared from the faces of the members in attendance, replaced by expressionless faces.
"I propose," Molotov said, as he considered his words, "that the Political Bureau adopt a resolution on the re-establishment of the Revolutionary Military Council and that Comrade Stalin be invited to concurrently serve as Chairman of the Revolutionary Military Council."
In addition, in view of the fact that the current war has turned into a civil war, the All-Russian Extraordinary Committee for Purges and Sabotage should also be reinstated" The Revolutionary Military Council was the supreme command of the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army, established in the last civil war in Soviet Russia, and Trotsky was the chairman of the Revolutionary Military Council.
However, the chairman of the revolutionary military committee of Soviet Russia was not quite the same as the chairman of the military commission of a certain country in the East.
During Trotsky's tenure as Chairman of the Revolutionary Military Council, he seldom stayed in Moscow, but traveled to and from major battlefields to command.
In fact, the Chairman of the Revolutionary Military Council in Soviet Russia was similar to the Commander-in-Chief or General Political Commissar of the Red Army.
Now Molotov's proposal to re-establish the Revolutionary Military Council is of double significance, first of all, the Revolutionary Military Council is the commanding organ leading the civil war in Soviet Russia, and now the Soviet-German war is transforming into a civil war in Soviet Russia, so it is naturally necessary to rebuild the Revolutionary Military Council.
Secondly, the chairman of the Revolutionary Military Council should go to the most important and decisive battlefields to supervise the war, as was the practice left by Trotsky.
And Stalin, once he became chairman of the Revolutionary Military Council, would be able to leave Moscow for the Caucasian fortress, following the practice of his sworn rival Trotsky, who was already dead.
This is in fact a relief for Stalin In addition, during the Russian Revolution, the Revolutionary Military Council was complemented by the All-Russian Extraordinary Committee for Purges and Sabotage, or Cheka for short Now that the Revolutionary Military Council has been restored, then the Cheka with boundless mana will naturally have to be restored Compared with the NKVD, the Cheka of the year can have even more boundless power.
And the Cheka organization, of course, was to be controlled by Stalin's henchman Beria or some other person that Stalin completely trusted With two powerful institutions, the Revolutionary Military Council and the All-Russian Purge and Sabotage Extraordinary Committee, Stalin's control over the Red Army and the remaining territory of the Soviet Union became more secure.
Then it became possible to ask him to leave Moscow.
Although the departure of Stalin from Moscow would have made every member of the Politburo feel like a wretch, for the sake of the future of the cause of GCISM, all those present at today's meeting immediately expressed their support for the decision to restore the Revolutionary Military Council and to invite Stalin to chair it.
On the night that the Political Bureau passed the resolution, Khrushchev took the risk of flying to Moscow, which was surrounded by European coalition forces, on a Canadian-made Mosquito special night transport plane, which was actually a modified night bomber.
Immediately after getting off the plane, Khrushchev transferred to the mysterious "Moscow Metro Line 2" and arrived at Stalin's underground command post in Moscow.
At this time, there were almost no civilians in Moscow, and the lessons of Leningrad's starvation had been learned.
The civilians in Moscow were completely evacuated by April '44, and most of them went to the Central Asian "gulags", where huge labor camps were built in Kazakhstan, with many ready-made facilities and farms that could be used to house Muscovites And the fighters who remained in Moscow to persist in the struggle were also hidden underground in normal times.
There are a large number of underground defense projects in the city, and there are also underground bunkers on the perimeter of the city, which can provide the safest accommodation for the defenders of Moscow.
Therefore, Moscow in late May 1944, if viewed from a low altitude, is almost an empty city with no people.
But in the underground of Moscow, there are 1.2 million heavily armed GCIST fighters However, Stalin, with the fortified city of Moscow and 1.2 million soldiers, did not feel safe at all.
Because the army defending Moscow is now 800,000 less than originally planned, according to the original plan, the defenders of Moscow will be as many as 2 million, and more than 1 million mobile troops will be responsible for fighting in the Vladimir, Ryazan, and Yaroslavl regions on the periphery of Moscow Oblast.
However, by the end of the Battle of Moscow, Stalin had only 1.2 million men left at his side, and less than 700,000 troops in Kalinin were trapped in despair.
In the Vladimir, Ryazan, Yaroslavl and other regions on the outskirts of Moscow Oblast, there were only less than 500,000 remnants of the defeated army under the command of the Reserve Front, which could not pose any threat to the combined German forces encircling Moscow and Kalinin.
What is even more desperate is that most of the heavy anti-tank weapons such as JS2 tanks, T3485 tanks, and A19 cannons, which were originally planned to be used to defend Moscow, were lost in the battle on the outskirts of Moscow.
Without them, the Soviets could hardly come up with weapons that could threaten the frontal armor of the E50A tank and the Cheetah tank destroyer.
Even the Tiger H-tank, with its "shrunken" armor, was now enough to run amok in front of the Soviet army's strongest anti-tank defensive positions.
So Stalin knew very well at the moment that Moscow's defenses were far from being as strong as originally planned.
As long as the enemy is determined enough and ready to pay hundreds of thousands of lives, he will be able to take Moscow and his own lives.
But now is not the time for Stalin to leave.
While smoking a cigarette and listening to the resolution of the political bureau conveyed by Khrushchev without saying a word, Stalin was silent for a long time before nodding and saying: "As a member of the Bolshevik Party, of course I obey the decision of the political bureau and serve as chairman of the Revolutionary Military Council. ” Khrushchev's originally twisted brows immediately loosened, and he smiled with satisfaction: "This is great, now the Soviet Union will be saved."

Then when will you go to the Caucasus, before I came to Moscow, I heard that a huge armored group of the German army had entered the Rostov region, apparently marching towards the Caucasus. ” Currently moving towards the Rostov region is the 2nd Panzer Army, which is part of the German Army Group South.
The Panzer Army's target was the North Caucasus, north of the Caucasus Mountains, and the offensive route was Donetskrostov, Stavropol and Krasnodar.
If you count the distance from Donetsk, it is about 450 kilometers, and the steppes are all along the way, which is an excellent battlefield for the use of tank and armored forces.
According to the German plan, the 2nd Panzer Army, which had just received 4 Panzer Divisions from Army Group Center, with 1 Panzer Division, 3 Panzergrenadier Divisions and 4 Motorized Rifle Divisions, would first clear the steppes of the North Caucasus, and then the 20th Mountain Army and the 1st Parachute Army would enter the mountains of the Caucasus.
At the same time, the Middle East Corps under the command of General Rommel would also send troops north to the border between Iran and Soviet Azerbaijan in preparation for an invasion from the south.
Stalin took a puff of his cigarette and nodded his head slightly: "Comrade Khrushchev, I will go to the Caucasus at the right time, but before that, I need to stabilize the situation in Moscow." to turn the city into a grave for the German army and the White Russian reactionaries" t1706231537:
