Jagged Germany: Chapter 1423 Joseph\'s determination seeking monthly ticket

"Comrade Joseph, after our analysis, the Germans regard this year as a crucial year for the war. They are trying to completely defeat us this year, or at least eliminate our main military force. Therefore, our pressure this year will be very high! " Shaposhnikov went on.

"Huh! The Germans have a big appetite. No matter what, we still have tens of millions of troops. We can mobilize five million troops in the future. With such a huge army, the Germans want to eat us within a year, It's just wishful thinking!" Joseph said disdainfully. Although he admits that Germany is strong, the Russian army is no match for the German army. But he believes that this will be a protracted war. Even if Germany can gain an advantage, it will definitely not be able to completely defeat Russia in just over a year. After all, Bu Russia is a country with strong military strength. In Joseph's view, this war will last at least four or five years.

"Comrade Joseph, although the Germans are a little arrogant, we have to be careful. Although we have a large number of troops mobilized now, many of the hastily formed troops have very low combat effectiveness, and even lack weapons and equipment. The real combat effectiveness is probably only It is comparable to a slave country of the Germans. If this is the case, it will be very detrimental to us." Shaposhnikov reminded.

   Joseph's brows were tightly frowned, if the combat effectiveness of the Russian army really became comparable to that of the German slave country. Then they may not be able to fight against Germany at all. After all, in addition to the elite German army, there are also those powerful slave country armies, but they are not so easy to deal with. At that time, the possibility of Russia's defeat will undoubtedly be very high. And this is definitely not acceptable to Joseph.

   "The combat courage of our troops is not comparable to those of the German servants!" Joseph said.

  Shaposhnikov nodded. Indeed, the soldiers of the Russian army fought bravely, which few countries can compare with. However, many people don't even have weapons, so we can't let them go to the battlefield with bare hands, right?

"In terms of weapons and equipment, I will let the department in charge of production speed up. In addition, I will ask the Americans to assist us with more weapons and equipment. No matter what, we must be prepared in this regard!" Joseph said.

"Comrade Joseph, the United States has been providing assistance to us throughout the winter. However, due to the transportation capacity of the Siberian Railway, what is currently being transported is mainly urgent supplies such as aero engines. In addition, gasoline and diesel are also supplies that we urgently need. Others Supplies, I can’t take care of them for now,” Shaposhnikov reminded.

  The Yak-1 fighter jets of the Russian Air Force can enter service ahead of schedule, which is inseparable from the fact that the Americans have provided a lot of aero engines. If it weren't for the help of the Americans, the Yak-1 fighter jets of the Russian Air Force might have to wait for a while before they can enter service.

  In addition, after the Baku oil field was lost, Russia would no longer have its own oil fields. This makes them only able to rely on their own oil combat readiness for support. However, once a large-scale battle is launched, the oil combat readiness storage will soon be unsustainable. Whether it is the air force or the armored forces of the army, they are all big eaters! Once the oil reserves are exhausted, the Russian army will be completely finished. At that time, they will lose the support of the air force. Meanwhile tanks, armored vehicles and trucks will be lying down. Under such circumstances, how could they stand against the mighty German army?

   Joseph nodded. After losing the Baku oil field, the entire Bu Russia had to implement oil control. In addition to the military, even the use of oil by government departments has been restricted. But there is no way to do it. Resources must be concentrated at the military level.

   "Have we got any results from oil exploration elsewhere?" Joseph asked.

  When the Baku oil field was not occupied, the oil there alone was enough for Russia to consume. There is even a large balance. But now, the Baku oil field is lost, and Russia has lost its source of oil at once.

  As early as when the Baku oil fields were threatened, Joseph signed an order requiring Russian geologists to search for oil in Baku. Joseph believes that the vast territory of Russia will definitely not only have an oil field like Baku. As long as new oil fields can be found, the oil crisis will be resolved.

"Comrade Joseph, our geologists have found oil resources in the West Siberia Plain and near the Caspian Sea. However, due to the natural environment and technological reasons in the West Siberia Plain, we cannot exploit the oil there. The permafrost is too thick to As for the fact that we can only give up there. As for the oil resources near the Caspian Sea, we have found a way to start mining. However, it will take time to carry out large-scale mining.” Shaposhnikov knew.

   After all, extracting oil is not that simple. Drilling wells need to be erected, a series of factories have to be built, and so on. At the same time, it must be kept confidential. The Caspian Sea was not far from the German-occupied Middle East. Once the Germans launch an offensive to the east of the Caspian Sea, or directly send bombers to bomb the oil fields that Burusa finally discovered, they will be finished. Therefore, at this stage, Russia still has to rely on oil from the United States. If all goes well, the oil in the Caspian Sea will not be able to meet part of Bu Russia's consumption until next year.

   Joseph nodded, he also knew that some things cannot be rushed. But unfortunately, what they lack now is time.

"Comrade Joseph, according to the information we have received, the Germans will launch an offensive this time with Moscow and Josephgrad as the main targets. Therefore, the main battle will probably be around these two cities!" Shaposhnikov Then he said.

"Comrade Shaposhnikov, Moscow is our capital, and it must not be occupied by the Germans. We must defeat the German conspiracy here! Josephgrad is also very important, and we must also hold it there! "Joseph demanded with a serious face.

   "Yes, Comrade Joseph!" Shaposhnikov nodded. The former is the capital of Bu Russia, so it is natural to defend it. And the latter is a city named after Joseph, if it is lost, wouldn't it be a slap in the face of Joseph? Therefore, I am afraid that these two cities will have to stick to it.

"Shaposhnikov, there is no way out for Russia now. If we defeat the Germans, not only will our country perish, but our leaders will probably die! Therefore, in this war we must You have to win!" Joseph said.

   "Yes, Comrade Joseph!" Shaposhnikov replied.
