"The Art of War of Sun Tzu, is it a weapon used by Sun Tzu? What is this?" Stalin looked through the broken book in his hand and asked in confusion.

When Vasilevsky saw Comrade Stalin being attracted by the "Sun Tzu's Art of War" he handed over, he said, "Comrade Stalin, I have read some historical materials. This book was written by Chinese people more than 3,000 years ago. Its name is not very nice. It is called Sun Tzu. If you call me, you will be happy. It is said that this military book is unparalleled in the world. As long as you can learn the above military strategy, you will become a great military strategist. After Marshal Zhukov read it, he believed that he had gained 20 years of experience and said that this military book is unique. Our Soviet government should print more and promote it to the entire army like Lenin's Selected Writings."

Stalin frowned and expressed doubts about the role of this art of war. "I don't believe that this broken book can be so powerful. Can it really help us win? We can be in the most dangerous moment at the moment and cannot put the treasure on a broken book."

"This,,," Huasilevsky's eyes rolled a few times, and he was secretly anxious for Zhukov. If this book could not be red, then Marshal Zhukov could not come back and regained the military power of the Soviet army. However, Huasilevsky immediately had a countermeasure, "Comrade Stalin, we can not rush to promote it, but we can let some troops try it out first. Now the war in the Caucasus region is in a hurry, so we can copy a copy and hand it over to General Chulenev, and let him command the battle through this book. If it works, promote it to the entire army immediately, and let all generals study "The Art of War" hard."

Stalin felt that this method was feasible, but he still couldn't make this decision in his heart. "I can't promote it in the Battle of the Caucasus. If it fails, wouldn't my ancestral tomb be quite dangerous? Let's do this! Aren't we going to start a winter battle in the middle? Is it a copy immediately and hand it over to General Budunny, so that he can command the battle through this book "The Art of War". If it works, promote it to the entire army immediately."

"Yes! Comrade Stalin." After seeing Comrade Stalin willing to accept this military book, Huasilevsky sighed in his heart, "Zhukov! This is the only thing I can help you. I hope your military book plan can help you restore your post."

On October 30, 1943, after the great Marshal Gerthyun completely controlled Grozny, he held a military meeting to discuss how to enter the Caucasus mountainous areas and fight. How to pass the steep terrain of the Caucasus mountainous areas, the main force of the German army crossed the Caucasus mountainous areas and entered the plains. Because, as long as you walk out of the Caucasus mountainous areas, Baku will be at your fingertips.

At the beginning of the meeting, Marshal Gesyun's Chief of General Staff Obestan walked to the combat map as usual to explain the current situation and fulfill his duties as Chief of General Staff.

"Marson Gesiyun, we have mobilized the main force of the 'A' Army Group, with nearly 160,000 troops invested in this battle, including a mountain division and a paratrooper division. The main force of the Soviet Transcaucasian Front is still concentrated in the city of Tbilisi, Stalin's hometown. The Soviets seemed to be more concerned about the Stalin family's ancestral tomb, which is good news for us. Now, what is blocking us is the 298th Infantry Division of the Transcaucasian Front, which is very elite. It is the ace force of the Soviet army. If we want to read the Caucasian mountainous areas, we must first eliminate the 298th Infantry Division. Everyone else is clear, so I won't talk nonsense."

After Obestan's speech, Chechen's illegal armed leader Gebak stood up and added, "Martyr Gesyun, I have fought this 298th infantry division several times, but it is indeed difficult to deal with. In addition, the terrain of the Caucasus Mountains is complicated, so this battle is very difficult to fight. I have been dealing with the Soviets in the Caucasus region for several years, but it is not lost because of the advantages in the terrain. I think the battle below is very difficult, so we must be careful."

After listening to Gebak's reminder, Jinda began to think about the situation in front of him. It was still really troublesome. The Caucasus terrain made his tank advantage unable to be exerted and the air superiority could not be reflected. The enemy hid in the mountain, and the effect of the air strike was very teasing. What should I do? "Do you have any way to defeat the enemy? This mountain battle is really troublesome. What should we do?"

Everyone was shaking their heads, and Constantine muttered, "Master Gesyun, this battle is really hard to fight. The African indigenous divisions, Laden divisions, Alibaba divisions and other troops in the desert in my hands are afraid of the cold and dare not go out. The Caucasus mountains are full of snow, and we have to be careful of avalanches as soon as we enter the mountains. It is really troublesome."

"Avalanche," Jintian asked with a light of light and said, "Gebak, is this Caucasus mountainous area prone to avalanche? Is it possible to become a big avalanche if you fire a shot at the sky?" Jintian thought to himself that he might be able to use an avalanche to crush the Soviets hiding in the mountains. The power of nature is irresistible, and at that time, he will be able to pass through the Caucasus mountainous area safely.

Gebak immediately guessed Marshal Gesyun's idea and opposed it, "Marrior Gesyun, I know what you are thinking. You want to use an explosion to create an avalanche, then crush the Soviet army hiding in the mountains, and then take the opportunity to break through the Caucasus mountainous areas. But I regret to tell you that your method does not work. First of all, the Soviet army in the Caucasus mountainous areas are basically locals, and they are very familiar with whether an avalanche will occur in this area. Even if you launch an avalanche and suppress the Soviet army, we will never pass through the Caucasus mountainous areas. Because severe avalanches will block the roads, and before the ice and snow melt in the spring, you will not be able to open the roads into the Caucasus mountainous areas."

"Uh,," Marshal Ge Siyun felt embarrassed when he saw that his plan was finished before it even started. This battle was really a tormenting brain. Jintian knew very well that the Soviet army was full of traps in the Caucasus mountains and ambush circles everywhere. Once he entered the mountainous area, he would be hit like never before. As the old saying goes, it is easy to avoid open guns, but difficult to prevent hidden arrows. If only the Caucasus mountains could be blown up, there would be no need to worry about it.

There was silence in the conference room, and everyone felt helpless in the situation in front of them. After all, mountain warfare is different from flat ground battles and will not win because of their numerical advantage. The defensive side has taken a huge advantage here. As long as they guard certain sections of the road, they can block the attackers. In addition, Marshal Ge Siyun has been asking for a reduction in casualties, so they must not rush hard and collide, and this battle is even more difficult.

Seeing everyone thinking about how to fight, Jintian thought about how to fight in his mind, how to fight against the Soviet army? In this situation, unless the enemy is driven out of the Caucasus mountains, this battle cannot be fought. But how can we lure the enemy's main force out? The Soviets are definitely not fools, they will give up their advantages and fight to the decisive battle with themselves. It would be great if they could all go home, right! Let them go home.

Kimda suddenly thought of something, turned to Gebak and said, "Gebak, you just said that basically the people who served in the Caucasus Front are local Caucasian residents, right?"

Gebakmoming nodded and replied, "The soldiers in the entire Transcaucasian Front are basically composed of locals. Moreover, at least half of the entire Transcaucasian Front are ethnic minority troops. They were recruited into the army because they were familiar with the local situation."

"That's good," Jinda felt that his brain was starting to run at high speed, and asked again, "Gebak, do you ethnic minority soldiers have a high status in the Soviet army? Did Stalin treat you preferentially? Do you trust you?"

"Haha, Marshal Gesyun, your question is very interesting." Gebak replied with a smile, "Stalin did not trust the minority army at all. In the Soviet army, except for the Slavs and the Georgians, Stalin did not trust anyone. All minority soldiers were treated very poorly, and were also excluded by the Slavs and the Georgians. After the victory of our Chechen Uprising, the Chechen soldiers in the Soviet army were in great trouble. They were all monitored for no reason, and some were even killed. Many people who fled back to Grozny from the army said that the Chechens could no longer live in the army."

"Is that?" Jintian felt that a plan was taking shape in his mind. Those who defended the Caucasus were all ethnic minority soldiers, and Stalin did not trust them very much. If he had a counter-espionage plan and spread rumors in the Soviet army, he would say that Stalin was afraid that the situation would happen again like Chechnya, so he decided to carry out a great purge in the Caucasus Front. He fooled the ethnic minority soldiers and let them become deserters. At that time, he would be able to pass through the Caucasus mountains safely.

Thinking of this, Jinda asked excitedly, "Gebak, in your words, the minority soldiers have a low status in the Soviet army. What would they do if they heard that Stalin was going to carry out a great purge on them?"

Gebak was stunned and felt that Marshal Gesyun's question was inexplicable, but he still answered truthfully, "Marrior Gesyun, the minority soldiers in the Soviet army, especially the soldiers of the Caucasus Front, were afraid of Stalin. He was afraid that he would carry out a major purge again. In the last major purge, countless minority soldiers were killed. If a major purge still occurred, everyone might not want to join the army. But what are you asking about this?"

"Haha," Jintian flashed his wise eyes and looked at Gebak, saying, "If we spread rumors, it would be said that Stalin was afraid of rebellion like your Chechnya again and wanted to carry out a large-scale purge of the army. All minority soldiers could be killed. In this case, what would those minority soldiers think? Do you think they would be worried that they would be killed by Stalin and become deserters," said.

"Oh, I fully understand what you mean," Gebak opened his mouth wide, and felt extremely admiration for Marshal Gesyun's idea. "Marrior Gesyun, you mean to let me spread rumors and fool the minority soldiers. They make them scared and become deserters for fear of being cleansed. In this way, the Caucasus region will be defeated without conquering."
