Chapter 250: Ancestral Tomb Protection Plan
On October 10, 1943, newspapers across Germany published an important news on the front page. The Third Reich Marshal Rich Von Gesyun led the main force to the city of Tbilisi, the hometown of Stalin. Marshal Gesyun also announced that he would celebrate Christmas in the ancestral grave of Stalin's family and a barbecue event in the ancestral grave of Stalin's family. At the same time, the Third Reich Minister of Propaganda Goebbels also began an important speech through the radio, announcing that the head of state was not concerned about the ancestral grave of Stalin's family and said that he would conduct detailed archaeological excavations of the ancestral grave of Stalin's family.
After Goebbels' speech ended, the world was in an uproar. But countless people wanted to call Hitler shameless, but found that they could not find a reason. The Geneva Convention did not prohibit excavation of ancestral tombs, and Hitler was in the name of archaeology, with sufficient reasons and detailed content.
For a time, the Stalin family's ancestral tomb became the focus of attention of people all over the world. Major media and newspapers around the world expressed their strong interest in the Stalin family's ancestral tombs and conducted comprehensive, three-dimensional and multi-structure reports.
As a result, within one day, people all over the world knew the number, structure, construction age, development history and how many ancestors of Stalin's family were buried. Some powerful newspapers also published photos of Stalin's family's ancestral tombs to attract readers. There was even an American newspaper called the Washington Post, which invited world-famous tomb robbers to talk about their thoughts on digging ancestral tombs and put forward valuable opinions on how the Germans should dig Stalin's ancestral tombs. What is even more surprising is that countless newspapers have conducted public opinion surveys, asking readers to guess how much treasures were buried in the Stalin's ancestral tombs.
It is mentioned here that major tourism companies around the world also followed the trend and had the idea of Stalin's ancestral tombs, launched a three-day tour of Stalin's ancestral tombs, a five-day tour of Stalin's ancestral tombs, a Christmas tour of Stalin's ancestral tombs, and other various tourism projects. They also announced that they would implement three guarantees on Stalin's ancestral tombs. The development of this tourism project also gave a shot of a heart-warming agent for tourism that had been sluggish since the beginning of the war. Countless people signed up to form groups to prepare for sightseeing and tourism at Stalin's ancestral tombs.
The news that Marshal Gesyun was digging Stalin's ancestral tomb also greatly stimulated the combat effectiveness of the German army. In several battles in the middle, all German soldiers were in charge according to the orders of their superiors, shouting "Digging the ancestral tomb of Soviet Chairman Stalin, and digging the ancestral tomb of Beria, the leader of the KGB." As a result, the morale of the German army was high, which greatly damaged the morale of the Soviet army, greatly reduced Stalin's reputation. After all, it was really sad for men who could not even protect their own ancestral tombs.
On October 11, in the Kremlin in Moscow, KGB leader Beliya rushed into Stalin's combat command in a hurry. At this time, Stalin was recruiting generals to hold an important military meeting. Beliya's rushing in shock everyone. This Beliya is so powerful. Comrade Stalin's temper has been bad recently, so he dared to rush in.
"Comrade Stalin, it's bad, it's bad." Beria didn't care about everyone's eyes. He and Stalin were fellow villagers. When this fellow villagers saw the fellow villagers' tears, even if Stalin was angry, he would take some care of himself for the sake of the fellow villagers.
"What's wrong? What happened?" Stalin's face tightened, and he showed a very unhappy look, which made everyone sweat. Beria put the newspaper in his hand on Stalin's desk and said sadly, "Comrade Stalin, you have to think of a way. The Germans, Germans, actually threatened to dig our ancestral graves. This is the Washington Post just released today, which talked about the news that the Germans attacked the city of Tbilisi. The Germans also said wildly that they would dig open our ancestral graves and not rest in peace. You,, you have to find a way 55555555."
"What," Stalin suddenly jumped up, his straight hair stood up, his eyes turned crazy, and he wanted to swallow everything in front of him. He kept cursing, "Damn it! Hitler, you actually want to dig our ancestral grave. This time I will never finish with you. I will fuck your whole family." Stalin was furious and wanted to kill someone. He swung his hand to lift the white marble vase beside him to the ground, "Crash!" The fragments of the vase were spread all over the floor.
All the generals present dared not speak, and looked at Comrade Stalin tremblingly. Everyone felt scared. It was not a good thing for Comrade Stalin to start anger. In addition, the recent unfavorable situation, and all battlefields are reporting failures, retreating, and being surrounded. A group of officers have been executed for unfavorable command. Now no one feels that Comrade Stalin will get angry anymore.
Stalin swept the silent generals in front of him coldly, and said sternly, "What are you all standing there? Are you happy that my ancestral tomb was dug? Everyone wants to see if my ancestral tomb was dug? Tell you, if my ancestral tomb is dug, I will dig out all your ancestral tombs. Huasilevsky, you are the Chief of Staff. Tell me, tell me, the defense situation in my hometown Tbilisi, and where the Germans have attacked."
"Yes! Comrade Stalin" Huasilevsky hung the combat map of the Caucasus region on the wall and began the introduction through the baton. "At present, the Transcaucasian Front was deployed in the Caucasus region, commanded by General Chulenev. Since Stalingrad was occupied by the German army, we originally wanted to launch a counterattack and were forced to stop. At present, the main forces of the Transcaucasian Front are all deploying defenses in the lower reaches of the Kuma River. The Panjessi Valley leading to your hometown Tbilisi is also under our control. Although there are not many troops, it is difficult for the Germans to attack with their terrain advantages," said the Germans.
"Ba, ba, ba," Stalin slapped the table a few times in a furious manner, interrupting Vasilevsky's statement, "What is Chulenev doing? He only sent a small number of troops to defend my hometown. Isn't my hometown important? And you just said that it is difficult for the Germans to attack, which means that the Germans can still attack, right!"
"Yes, yes, Comrade Stalin." Huasilevsky let out a cold sweat and his speech was trembling. Stalin suppressed the anger in his heart, looked at the battle map for a few glances, and issued his own order "I order!".
"Wow," all the generals present stood up subconsciously and obeyed Comrade Stalin's orders.
Stalin walked to the battle map, pointed to the battle map on the wall and said, "Send a telegram to General Chulenev immediately. Starting from today, the defense focus of the entire Caucasus region will be transferred to my hometown Tbilisi City. Several main divisions that were deployed in the Kuma River area will be immediately transferred to my hometown. We must focus on protecting my ancestral tombs in all directions and a large-scale area. The area around my ancestral tombs must be included in the military restricted area, and at least one and a half armored divisions must be stationed. We must also establish an anti-aircraft artillery group and an air interceptor group, and we must protect my ancestral tombs."
Stalin paused, his face relaxed, and then said, "I will send telegrams to the leaders of the party and government at all levels in Tbilisi. We must organize militias and mobilize the masses to protect my family's ancestral tombs from the grassroots level. We must regard protecting my family's ancestral tombs as a major party matter and take matters into account. We must implement it to people and take charge of households. Party and government leaders at all levels must also go to the front line of our ancestral tombs in person, investigate various dangerous situations and enemy situations in a timely manner, and form the flood control and rescue command center for my ancestral tombs. We must ensure that my ancestral tombs is foolproof before the German army arrives. If there is a grass missing in my ancestral tombs, I will send them all to the concentration camp. Do you understand?"
"Yes! Comrade Stalin" everyone stood attentively and saluted, indicating that they understood.
On October 11, 1943, Stalin issued a plan to protect his family's ancestral tombs in the name of the General Staff. Chulenev, the commander-in-chief of the Transcaucasus Front, transferred five main divisions from the Transcaucasus Front to his hometown, Tbilisi City, to defend his family's ancestral tombs. He also personally drew up anti-aircraft artillery troops to establish an anti-aircraft artillery group near his ancestral tombs, and brought an air brigade from the Baku area to protect his family's ancestral tombs. Stalin was determined to protect his family's ancestral tombs at all costs. After all, as a successful man, if even his ancestral tombs could not be protected, he would be really ashamed of his family's ancestral tombs.
Regarding Stalin's strict order, Choulenev, commander-in-chief of the Transcaucasian Front, immediately expressed protest. Because the Panjesse Valley did not require so many people to defend, it could block the German attack. It was a waste to draw precious troops into this area. Because the Kuma River should be a key defense area, where the terrain is relatively flat and relatively easy to be broken through.
But Chulenev had no choice but to transfer his main force to the Tbilisi area for defense. However, despite so many troops being transferred, Chulenev was still confident in the defense of the lower reaches of the Kuma River, because Grozny, Orzhongni, and Mahakakira were still heavily guarded. As long as these higher terrain cities are guarded, the road to entering the Caucasus mountains will be blocked by himself. It is impossible for the Germans to enter the Caucasus mountains, and the initiative is firmly in their own hands.
On October 12, the Soviet Union's Caucasian Front began to mobilize troops according to Stalin's order, allowing several main divisions of the Caucasian Front and a mountain division to move towards the city of Tbilisi. At the same time, the main forces of the German "A" Army also began to gather in the Panjiesie Valley. The German army also dispatched a large number of air forces to carry out a thorough bombing of the Panjiesie Valley. The Germans' strategic intention of preparing to break through the Panjiesie Valley to enter the city of Tbilisi was also very obvious.
At this time, an aircraft took off from Cairo, the capital of Egypt. After landing in Berlin, it was replaced by the General Staff of the Head of State Base, flew towards the Soviet Union, and finally landed at the military airport of the "A" Army Group. The people who got off the plane then disappeared at the airport under the protection of the Pest Guard and a heavy tank battalion.
