Imperial Overlord

"Telegram from Leningrad! Traitors have surrendered and defenses have collapsed." An officer walked into the brightly lit office and handed Khrushchev the documents in his hand.

Khrushchev took the telegram, looked at the text on it, put the telegram aside, and said, "Inform Rokossovsky and Konev, come here for a meeting!"

After he walked out of the office, he was leaning on the back of his chair, looking at the huge map of Moscow city defense hanging in front of him, wondering what he was thinking.

The German army has already entered the suburbs of Moscow, and in fact, it is less than 15 kilometers away from the city center.

Although the German army has not yet attacked the Kremlin, if it is replaced by artillery with sufficient range, the German army actually already has the conditions for shelling the Kremlin.

Even so, Khrushchev was still willing to sit in the Kremlin to work, rather than go to a safer underground bomb shelter.

He longed for the feeling of sitting in an office, especially in the Kremlin office.

This feeling is very good, let him intoxicated. After Stalin left, every decision he made represented authority, and the feeling of standing at the top was really good.

"Comrade Commissar, do you have something to ask me?" Khrushchev's door was knocked on. After getting permission, Konev, the commander-in-chief of the city, walked into the room and asked in a salute.

General Konev is currently mobilizing troops to try to retake the German forward positions in the west, and the workload is quite heavy.

Khrushchev was not willing to disturb the work of General Konev and General Rokossovsky on weekdays. After all, the military talents of the two of them were not comparable to him.

As a victor of the political struggle of later generations, who betrayed Stalin immediately after turning over, Khrushchev still had a head.

Glancing at Konev who came in, Khrushchev did not wait for Rokossovsky, who was far away, and said directly: "Leningrad may fall within a few days."

"What? An army of 400,000 people was wiped out in less than a week?" Konev asked subconsciously.

After asking this sentence, he knew that he had lost his way: how could it be possible that 400,000 people were wiped out. Naturally, some were defeated and some surrendered.

But at this level of the war, there are still people who surrender or are defeated, which is really puzzling.

With Marshal Voroshilov in charge, how could Leningrad be able to play a Brest, or even the prestige of several Brests, how could it be easily occupied by the Germans?

"Comrade Marshal Voroshilov personally called and said that they were traitors and surrendered with 100,000 troops, which made the battle in Leningrad passive." Khrushchev glanced at Konev and explained. said a word.

The deterioration of the war situation was not caused by someone surrendering with 100,000 troops. The main reason for the deterioration of the war situation there was because of the lack of reinforcements.

Stalin concentrated all the forces he could find in Moscow, so Leningrad was an abandoned place.

It's not surprising that it persisted for a few days to collapse, but before such a sudden collapse appeared, everyone was still holding on to luck, praying that the place would not fall immediately.

Now where is it really going to be occupied by the German army, the fear buried in everyone's heart finally broke out.

"Has the port there been destroyed in a large area, and have the port facilities been blasted?" Konev opened his mouth and asked about the damage to the port facilities.

As a soldier, the first question that comes to Konev's mind is how much value is left for the German army there.

Khrushchev sneered, then picked up the telegram from the table and threw it to Konev.

Konev frowned and took a closer look at the telegram, where a short paragraph was written.

"Because the traitor led a large number of troops to surrender, the defense has collapsed, and our army has lost many important strongholds such as the port terminal railway station. I will personally counterattack tonight and retake Voroshilov in the port area."

There was only so much written on the telegram. In fact, there was not much written at all except to reveal some of the current situation in Leningrad.

Khrushchev, who threw out this telegram, meant very clearly: you ask me, who shall I ask? Everyone wants to know the situation in Leningrad now, but no one knows.

At this moment, Rokossovsky knocked on the door, and after getting permission, he opened the door and saw Khrushchev and Konev who were already in the room.

"What happened? Comrade Commissar, Comrade Konev!" He asked anxiously after closing the door.

"The news I just got, Leningrad may not be able to hold on anymore." Khrushchev, who was sitting in the seat, did not get up, looking at Rokossovsky and replied.

"This is not easy to handle." Rokossovsky heard the news and sank for a while before speaking.

He was in charge of the defenses on the Moscow flank, and after hearing Khrushchev's words, he thought of his carefully planned counterattack.

If the German army consumes its own ammunition and supplies at any cost, then the German army that his counterattack needs to deal with will be even stronger.

Earlier, the reason why he insisted that he could fight back was because the German army was weak and did not dare to easily waste a lot of ammunition to fight a large-scale battle with the surrounding Soviet army.

Because if this consumes the ammunition that the Germans have worked so hard to transport, and then reserves so much ammunition to attack Moscow, it will take more time.

But now... if the other party has an additional port behind ~www.wuxiaspot.com~, the situation is not very optimistic. Even if the weather conditions are favorable for the Soviet army, it may not be able to take advantage.

After thinking for a while, Rokossovsky looked at Khrushchev and said, "In the first round of counterattacks, you need to be more careful."

"It should be more cautious." Konev also nodded and agreed: "Our previous plan was to consume the German army's reserve ammunition, which has a great impact on their attack on Moscow."

After speaking, he paused and continued: "But if the Germans can take Leningrad within a few days, then the effect of this consumption is likely to be offset."

"Things are really worse than imagined." Rokossovsky was not just thinking about a battle situation in Moscow, he was thinking about the battle situation in the entire North.

After the German army has supplemented, the battle after Moscow may not be too easy to fight... At least for the Soviet army, it is not as easy to fight as before. ——
