Jagged Germany: Chapter 1091 punish ukraine
The talks between Hopkins and Joseph were very harmonious. Although the entire meeting lasted only two hours, the two parties had basically reached a consensus. The United States and Russia can be described as dry wood and raging fire, which can be ignited at one point.
The United States wants to let Bu Russia consume the strength of the Germans, so that it can be cheap in the end. And Bu Russia also wants to use the support of the Americans to fight against Germany. If you like me, they will naturally be able to reach a cooperation.
Of course, the cooperation between the two countries is a very complicated matter, and there are still many details that need to be negotiated. However, the talks between Hopkins and Joseph basically set the tone for the cooperation. Next, they only need to negotiate under this theme. Relatively speaking, it will be much easier. Moreover, the cooperation between the two countries is already the general trend, and no one can change it.
"Comrade Joseph, the Americans are borrowing knives to kill people. They want to use us as guns. They want to use us to consume the strength of the Germans and buy them time!" Molotov knew that the U.S. What are people thinking.
Joseph nodded: "Why don't I know what the Americans are thinking? However, the Germans are too powerful. I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to beat the Germans alone. For this reason, we have to find ways to get more Now, the Americans take the initiative to come to our door to cooperate with us, which is undoubtedly what we wish for. The United States has a strong industrial strength. If we can get their support, the possibility of us resisting the German attack is undoubtedly It will be much bigger. Who made us and the Germans neighbors? If the Germans want to start a war, we will naturally bear the brunt. Under such circumstances, we can only seek help from the Americans and let them There is no way to take advantage of it! We were defeated by the Germans, and it would be much better for the country to perish!"
Molotov nodded, he also understood the truth. For Buer, now is indeed a very critical time and space. If support can be obtained from the Americans, this will greatly enhance the military strength of Bu Russia. In that case, it may be possible to resist the German attack in future wars.
"Comrade Molotov, you will be fully responsible for the next negotiations with the Americans. I hope that you can get as much benefit from the Americans as possible. Whether it is loans or aid It is what we need. In addition, planes, tanks, artillery and trucks, as well as other light and heavy weapons, are also what we need. As long as the Americans can get it, we all want it. This time, we will definitely seize this Opportunity to blackmail the Americans severely. Otherwise, wouldn't we have lost a lot this time?" Joseph said.
Once the war between Russia and Germany breaks out, they will have to expand their army crazily. With the population of Bu Russia, there is no shortage of soldiers. However, the gap in weapons and equipment may be getting bigger and bigger. If they can get the support of the Americans in this regard, their soldiers will not be allowed to go to the battlefield with bare hands. At the same time, the possibility of defeating the Germans will also be greatly improved.
"Yes, Comrade Joseph, I understand." Molotov nodded solemnly.
While the Americans were solemnly hooking up with Bu Russia and negotiating secretly, the Ukrainian army had already withdrawn from the territory of Bu Russia and retreated into its own territory. Although this battle did not occupy an inch of Bu Russia, it caused a lot of casualties to Bu Russia. For the Ukrainian army, it was also a rare victory. Even better, the losses of the Ukrainian army in this battle were very small. This not only tested the combat effectiveness of their army, but also tested the reality of the Russian army, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.
After this battle, the Ukrainian army also recognized its combat effectiveness. It turned out that they were not as weak as imagined. And the Russian army is not as strong as imagined. Compared with the two, the morale and confidence of the Ukrainian army have risen a lot. Of course, this is mainly because the Russian troops they faced this time were mostly second-line troops, not elite field troops. When Marshal Budyonny led the elite troops to the battlefield, they had already retreated. Otherwise, it will be very difficult for the Ukrainian army to retreat.
Marshal Budyonny led the Russian army to chase to the border, but under Joseph's order, he dared not cross the border. And this is obviously not in line with Germany's expectations. Germany hopes that the Russian army can cross the border and invade Ukraine. In that case, they would have an excuse to declare war on Bu Russia! Therefore, Admiral Rommel began to continue planning operations, trying to anger Bu Russia.
On the morning of September 9th, at the request of Admiral Rommel, the Ukrainian Army assembled thousands of cannons and launched a fierce shelling of the Russian positions.
The Russian army was out of reach, and suffered heavy losses under the fierce shelling of the Ukrainian army. Marshal Budyonny had to order the Russian army to withdraw from the artillery range of the Ukrainian army in order to reduce the casualties of the troops.
After that, the Ukrainian army not only used shelling to deal with the Russian army, but even dispatched elite small troops at night to cross the border to attack the Russian army, which not only caused heavy casualties to the Russian army, but also destroyed some important supplies of the Russian army base.
The behavior of the Ukrainian Army made the Russian army very angry. Marshal Budyonny sent telegrams to Moscow many times, requesting to lead the army across the border to punish the Ukrainians and let them know the price of provoking Budyonny.
However, Joseph has been unable to make up his mind. He worried that if the Russian army did cross the border, it would anger the Germans and start a war. However, the increasingly aggressive provocations of the Ukrainians also made him suffocate.
"Damn Ukrainians, are they looking for death?" After learning that the frontline troops lost more than 5,000 people under the shelling and sneak attack of Ukraine, Joseph couldn't sit still anymore. Although he has never led troops in battle, he also knows that this will have a great impact on the morale of the troops.
Coincidentally at this time, the secret talks between Russia and the United States had ended. The United States promised that once Germany went to war with Russia, they would provide Russia with enough weapons and equipment to arm one million troops every year, and thousands of tanks in addition. And thousands of combat aircraft. This greatly increased Joseph's confidence.
On the evening of September 10, Joseph called a meeting of the marshals of the Russian military. This time the meeting has only one topic, and that is to punish the Ukrainians!
