Eagle Sauce: The 055 destroyer was launched into the sea just after the founding of the country?

For a moment, MacArthur's expression froze.

He finally understood where the incredible resistance of the Mao Bear Army came from. This was not just a city, but a symbol, a myth, a memory engraved deep in the soul of every Mao Bear soldier.

“Stalingrad…”

MacArthur muttered to himself, his voice filled with mixed emotions.

Just ten years ago, in this city, the Russian army defeated the elite troops of the Hans country with amazing perseverance, turning the tide of World War II.

Nearly one million German troops were trapped, frozen to death, starved to death, or killed in battle here, making it one of the most brutal battles in history.

For the Russians, Stalingrad is not just a city, but also a symbol of their national spirit and proof of their invincibility...

……

As the Second Battle of Stalingrad raged on, the atmosphere in the Kremlin's Grand Conference Hall was grim.

Moscow outside the window was covered with thick snow, but the temperature inside was rising due to the heated debate.

Joseph sat at the head of the long table, his signature sallow face full of fatigue, but his eyes were still as sharp as an eagle.

"Comrades," Joseph said in a deep voice, interrupting the murmurs in the conference room, "the reality is before us."

“Stalingrad is resisting bravely, but without reinforcements it will ultimately become another Warsaw.”

"And our only available reserve force is being besieged in the Far East by the Dragon Nation."

He paused and looked around at everyone in the conference room.

“Therefore, today we must make a decision whether to negotiate with the Dragon Kingdom and ask them to release our troops in the Far East to reinforce the Western Front.”

As soon as the words fell, a burst of noise broke out in the conference room.

The political and military leaders of the Russian Federation have obviously thought about this issue a long time ago and have long made their stance clear.

People's Commissar for Foreign Affairs Molotov was the first to stand up, his wooden face now showing a rare excitement.

"Comrade Joseph, I strongly oppose any form of negotiation with the Dragon Kingdom!"

"We must clearly realize that although Longguo is ostensibly a member of the Red Front, it has never been on the same side as us."

"They are besieging our Far Eastern Corps, just waiting for the right moment. Once we show weakness, they will definitely make exorbitant demands!"

His voice trembled slightly with excitement.

"Historically, whenever the Russian bear is in trouble, the Chinese dragon will enter a period of resurgence."

"From ancient times to the present, which inch of our territory in the East was not seized from them? If we negotiate now, it would be tantamount to voluntarily handing over our territorial sovereignty in the Far East!"

Molotov's speech aroused clamors of approval.

Marshal Voroshilov, who was sitting near him, slammed the table hard to express his strong support.

"Comrade Molotov is right! The Dragon people cannot be trusted!"

"I've fought them many times on the Far Eastern border and am well aware of their cleverness and tactics."

"Once we start negotiations, it means we admit our weak position. They will definitely ask us to cede territory in exchange!"

Security Minister Beria also joined the camp opposing the negotiations.

"According to our intelligence, the Dragon Nation has deployed over 1.5 million troops in the Far East. They are clearly waiting for the right moment to invade our Far East region."

“Negotiations will only accelerate this process. We must not dig our own graves!”

However, the voices of the other faction are equally strong.

Khruff rose from his seat, his round face flushed with excitement.

"Comrades, we cannot be bound by the shadow of history! Yes, there were territorial disputes in the past, but that was the business of the old Russians."

"Now, we and Longguo are both members of the Red Front, fighting against imperialism!"

He looked around the conference room with a sharp gaze.

"In the global ideological confrontation, China is our most important ally."

"They won't kick us when we're down. On the contrary, they may become the key force that helps us turn the tide of the war!"

"Think about it, if we can unite with Dragon Country and form a true Red Front alliance, will this group led by Eagle Sauce be our opponent?"

Marshal Zhukov, the military genius who made great achievements in World War II, also expressed his views at this time.

"From a military perspective, we have no choice. The troops currently fighting NATO on the Western Front are exhausted and have suffered heavy equipment losses."

"Even if the stubborn resistance at Stalingrad could have continued, without effective reinforcements, it would ultimately only have delayed defeat."

He walked over to the large strategic map hanging on the wall.

"The Far Eastern Corps has one-third of our tank forces and nearly half of our air force."

"If we could transfer these troops back to the Western Front, we would not only be able to hold Stalingrad, but we might even be able to launch a new counteroffensive on the Western Front."

"But if we continue to sit idly by and allow these elite troops to be trapped by the Dragon Nation in the Far Eastern desert, all that awaits us is total collapse!"

Zhukov's conclusion is powerful.

Malenkov, the usually cautious Politburo member, added.

"Zhukov is right. We should not forget that negotiating with the Dragon Nation does not mean we have to accept all of their conditions."

"Diplomacy is the art of compromise, and we can seek a solution that is beneficial to both sides."

“For example, we could consider giving up some economic benefits or providing technical support instead of…”

Kaganovich immediately retorted: "This idea is too naive! Will the Dragon Kingdom be satisfied with only economic benefits and technology transfer?"

"If we show weakness, we will be handing over the Far East!"

“This is not weakness, this is reality!”

Bulganin said excitedly.

"The Russian bear is facing the most serious crisis since the founding of the country."

"On the Western Front, NATO forces have broken through all our defenses; internally, the economic collapse has led to a sharp decline in people's living standards; and in Eastern Europe, our satellite states have rebelled one after another."

"If we don't change our strategy, we will be completely destroyed!"

Armaments Minister Serdyukov slammed his fist on the table.

"Destruction? I would rather die in battle than surrender to the Dragon Nation!"

"I would rather see the entire Russian bear destroyed in the flames of war than surrender to these traitors of the Red Front...
