Chapter 197 Soviet Empire Supreme Command
The sudden change made Su Diguo a little overwhelmed.
Berezov's urgent telegrams keep coming!
The situation is very critical. Although the main force of the Eastern Ocean Fleet, including three cruisers, four destroyers, and eight frigates, is stationed in Yingshan Port, it is now trapped because of ten small fishing boats!
This is simply ridiculous and direct!
"Sir, something's wrong! Our East Ocean Fleet has been surrounded in the military port of Yingshan!" A staff officer of the Navy Department ran into the officers' duty room of the East Ocean Fleet headquarters in a panic!
The Chief of Staff of the Eastern Ocean Fleet stood up suddenly.
"What did you just say? Say it again!"
"Yingshan Port is surrounded!"
"Tell me clearly! Who surrounded us? How is this possible?!"
"I'm sorry, sir. I was too anxious! Report to you, sir! The Chinese army has surrounded Yingshan Port!"
As he said this, he hurriedly handed over Berezov's urgent telegram.
"Are they crazy! What are they going to do?" The chief of staff muttered to himself as he hurried into the commander's office!
Admiral Surtinsky, commander of the Navy's Eastern Ocean Fleet, is leisurely polishing his exquisite pistol!
This was given to him by Comrade Smolin when he received the gold medal! It was something he was always proud of!
He was very sure that he would be the next commander of the Imperial Navy!
The Chief of Staff barged in rashly, which made him very unhappy! How could his subordinates be so impetuous!
"Major General Uganov! How can you be so rash! Are the Germans attacking us? Or is it that damn Japan that attacks us? Is it collapsing?" Surtinsky said with an unhappy expression.
"General! Something really happened! Our Yingshan Port has been surrounded by Chinese troops!" Uganov said hurriedly.
"The Chinese army? Do they have a navy? Is Berezov dead?"
"General, this is Berezov's urgent telegram! Take a look for yourself! The Chinese have cunningly blocked the alleys of Yingshan Port! One of their army divisions has already entered the outskirts of Yingshan City!"
"What are they going to do!" Surtinsky was a little unbelievable.
"what should we do?"
"Send a telegram to Berezov. If the Chinese army dares to take further action, immediately launch a counterattack! Are all those naval guns of his just for show? Idiot! Also, order the main fleet to prepare to go out to sea immediately! Support Yingshan Port!"
"General, do we really want to fight back? It will take at least half a month for our main fleet to reach Yingshan! I'm worried that Berezov won't be able to hold out that long!"
"General! An urgent telegram has been sent from Yingshan Port!" A major rushed in in a panic!
"What are you doing! What are you doing! What's going on today! Is the sky falling? How disgraceful!" Surtinsky said angrily.
"General! Something happened! A cruiser was sunk in Yingshan Port!" The officer said hurriedly, not caring about the commander's anger.
As soon as these words were spoken, the whole office fell silent!
"How is this possible!" they both shouted almost at the same time!
Berezov's telegram clearly stated that the Chinese army had used some unknown method to sink one of their cruisers, the Vetland, from a long distance! Berezov suspected that it was done by a submarine!
Surtinsky sat down on the chair and threw the gun on the table!
After a long pause, Surtinsky, who was a general after all, immediately gave the order:
"Assemble the fleet immediately! Get ready for battle! Major General Uganov immediately draft a telegram and send it to the Navy Department and the Supreme Command! Also, get me a call from Georgy of the Far East Command immediately!"
"The Chinese are declaring war! This is war! We must tear these bastards apart!"
But Georgil called first!
"Suerjing! I just received a note from China's Northeast Border Defense Force! They clearly stated that they have surrounded Yingshan and Beimozhou! What do you think of this, Navy?"
"Oh my God! Georg, I was just about to call you, but you called me! Our camp is indeed surrounded! They even sank one of our cruisers! I have ordered the Eastern Ocean Fleet to prepare for battle! This is a naked declaration of war! This is a blatant provocation to our empire!"
"Very good! I will also order the border troops to enter a wartime state! Cooperate with your navy's actions!"
"That's great! I'll send Major General Uganov to your headquarters to coordinate the actions of our army and navy!"
"Okay! I will report our joint actions to the Supreme Command right away!"
What they don’t know is that in the west of the Soviet Empire, the situation is a hundred times worse than here!
For some unknown reason, Germany suddenly increased its support for Saudi Arabia and Finland! And openly sent out so-called volunteers!
At present, the entire western battlefield is on the brink of collapse!
The High Command is arguing over whether to mobilize troops from the Far East!
But unexpectedly, the emergency telegram from the Far East arrived first!
"This is a conspiracy! This is definitely a conspiracy! It is obvious that Germany and China have reached some kind of hidden agreement! We should immediately stop our small actions on the Chinese border!" Trovsky, Chief of the General Staff of the Soviet Army of the Supreme Command, shouted loudly.
"It's obvious! This is most likely a response to our border conflict some time ago!" Navy Minister Mikhail Freemansher said calmly.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this is not the point. Trotsky was right just now. Germany and China may have reached an offensive and defensive alliance! This is the most important thing! The empire cannot fight on two fronts now!" The Chairman of the People's Internal Affairs Committee, Burezinski, knocked on the table and said.
"We currently have to ensure stability during the war on the Western Front! The Far East is too far away from us, and Yingshan is insignificant compared to our Western Front! My opinion is to immediately transfer the two Far East armies westward! Make sure that the Western Front can be won! This is the fundamental thing!" added Pavshilov, commander of the Western Military District.
The venue fell silent instantly.
Smolinsky, the supreme commander, said nothing. He sat in the front, closed his eyes, and fiddled with the pen in his hand, making a rhythmic tapping sound.
The others looked at each other, and it was obvious that the current topic was not quite in line with Smolinski's wishes!
It was Smolinsky who advocated the signing of the non-aggression treaty with Japan. Everyone understood it and expressed their support because it avoided the risk of fighting on two fronts.
But later, because of Japan's massive attack on China, it once again set its sights on the interests of the Northeast! Smolinsky also advocated not wanting to see Japan become bigger in the East and provoke on the border, trying to invade China's Northeast while China was too busy!
But now it has become like this! They didn't get any advantage, but they got China and Germany to fight together! What they didn't expect was that China's strength in the north alone could withstand the attack of Japan!
Now it seems that they have a backup plan! They are waiting to deal with the Su Kingdom!
This is a bit of a loss!
"Everyone! Have you ever thought about how to ensure our interests in the Far East if we transfer troops from the Far East at this time! Are we going to hand over the Far East to Japan?" Vice Chairman of the Military Commission Hrutskov suddenly spoke.
"We can never give up the interests of the Far East! Only if we maintain a balance with Japan can we ensure the safety of our east! If we give up now and let Japan dominate, God knows what Japan will do in the future!"
After hearing what Hrutskov said, Smolinsky finally stopped writing. He had been waiting for such a voice!
I am the supreme commander! The decisions I make will never be refuted by these people! Even if I am wrong, I will continue to make the wrong decision!
"Go on!" Smolinski said slowly.
It was obvious that he appreciated Hrutskov's speech!
Hrutskov was also encouraged. The boss supported him, which meant that he made the right bet this time!
"Everyone! There must be no mistakes in the Far East! Most of our resources and minerals are in the Far East! If we lose the Far East, it will be difficult for us to get involved in the Eastern Ocean region! That will cause unpredictable losses to our national influence! We must not show weakness in the Far East! China's northern forces are developing too fast! We can't watch them rise! If they really rise, it will definitely be a disaster for us! Don't forget the lesson of Titlovsky!"
As soon as this name came out, everyone present stopped talking!
Titlovsky was purged because he tried his best to promote the easing of relations with China! Especially the normalization of relations with Xu Yan, he was suspected by Smolinsky and was purged! Until now, no one knows whether he is dead or alive!
One person threw out a trump card, and others followed up in an instant! Soon, the remaining members all expressed their support for being tough on China!
The last few people who spoke felt the crisis instantly!
"Everyone, I think what you said makes sense. As the war on the Western Front has developed to this point, I think the first thing we should consider is not to increase troops, but whether our strategies and tactics are correct! The empire has invested huge manpower and material resources, but it has never defeated these two small countries! This is abnormal!" Smolinsky finally spoke!
His words made the face of Pavshilov, the commander of the Western Military District, turn pale instantly! He was responsible for the war on the Western Front! Smolinsky's words clearly meant that he wanted him to take the blame!
