There is no problem with the obedience of German generals, but this does not mean that German generals are accustomed to obeying. This is not the case. They are not puppets. On the contrary, they personally have independent tactical thinking and are more accustomed to fighting by placing commanders.

It is precisely because of the appointment of command that the German generals can show their unique tactical talents and once performed the blitzkrieg in a very dreamy way. However, Hitler was not a head of state who was accustomed to appointment of command. His control was too strong. Many times, he was more accustomed to forcibly implementing his ideas. This is also an important reason why he could not get involved with many outstanding German generals in the later period.

For the head of state, what is the commissioned command? Can it be eaten? As the head of the great German Third Reich, he has the responsibility, obligation and ability to be responsible for the military, so he should listen to him!

And this time, Guderian realized the unique dominance of the head of state. If he hadn't performed too well in Poland and France, Hitler would not have been able to replace him directly. Otherwise, Guderian would have been forced to retire from active service by the furious head of state at this moment and went to the reserve to do odd jobs.

However, Guderian did not fully understand Hitler's emotions at that time, so he did not pay enough attention to the anger of the head of state. He still thought that he was the commander of Guderian's assault cluster, and this assault cluster still had to listen to him.

Therefore, he did not fully implement Hitler's orders. For example, the tank monster was reduced to the full effort required by the head of state. The 47th Armored Army was still left by him in Ligov to cut off the rear, rather than being used for the "chasing" combat on the front line. Moreover, Guderian also made certain corrections to the so-called "chasing" combat.

The tank monster repeatedly emphasized that we should not pursue speed too much, and never make blind progress, and required all participating troops to fight steadily. This was completely different from Hitler's request, so soon the General Staff discovered through air reconnaissance that the 78th Infantry Army of the Red Army had arrived at the periphery of Kursk safely and began to regroup. This discovery once again angered Hitler. This time he did not send a telegram, but directly gave Guderian a death order: "Before May 5, be sure to occupy Kursk!"

When Guderian received this order, he sighed. He had no choice but to do anything, because it was May 1st, and there was only four days left in total before Hitler stipulated. No matter how much he rudes, it would be useless.

He was forced to the corner and finally took the lead. He finally took out the highest level since the outbreak of the Kursk Battle. Even if he still did not intend to invest in the 47th Panzer Army, he could still launch a wonderful attack with just using his existing troops!

The conversation was divided, and Guderian began to take it seriously. However, the situation on the Red Army was a little different. On April 28, Ubolevic hurriedly flew away from Kursk because he went to the Military Commission to attend an emergency meeting.

At first, Ubolevic thought something big was happening, but when he arrived in Moscow, he realized that the core issue of this meeting was "Whether to hold May Day celebrations as scheduled". According to the tradition of the Soviet Union, a grand celebration was held on the May Day International Labor Day every year, and the most important one was the military parade.

According to the tradition of the Soviet Union, May Day International Labor Day is a grand festival. Grand celebrations are generally arranged, such as a military parade held on May 1, 1941. The military parade in the winter of 1941 in history is a historical classic and a moment that will never be forgotten.

In this time and space where a certain immortal appeared, due to his interference, the Red Army did not lose as badly as in history in the early stage of the Patriotic War, and did not allow the German devils to attack the city of Moscow. Naturally, in that winter, the Politburo did not need to make a big fight in the Red Square parade in Moscow to boost morale. However, in May 1942, many bigwigs thought it was necessary to hold a military parade, anyway, there would be military parades every year on Labor Day. This year will continue, which is not only a window to show the unyielding fighting spirit of the Soviet people to the world, but also to inspire the morale of the people of the whole country.

No one would refuse this suggestion, so the Politburo quickly unanimously approved the proposal for the May Day military parade. And according to Trotsky's request, this military parade would be larger than in previous years, so it would be more shocking, and more shocking.

However, to be honest, the preparations for this military parade were relatively hasty, after all, it was wartime. However, the Politburo's request was there. Originally, Ubolevic was planning to stay in Kursk to command the battle, but the General Equipment Department was closely related to the support of the military parade. Many specific matters had to be decided by him, the General Equipment Minister, personally. In desperation, he had to return to Moscow reluctantly.

In order to highlight Trotsky's shocking requirements, the General Staff first increased the scale of the parade team, and the cumulative parade troops would reach 100,000! Not only were there a large number of people, but it also had all its equipment. The best and most advanced equipment of the Soviet Red Army will be unveiled to shock the enemy.

For example, the t-54a and t-55 tanks. These two tanks are actually just walking down the drawing board. The change of t-54a compared to t-54 is to replace the not-so-powerful medium-breeding smoothbore gun with the d-10t100mm tank gun that the Red Army had just put into production. Moreover, the production unit of t-54a was also replaced by Kharkov. They had just stopped production of t-34-76 and could produce t-54a.

The t-55 is actually the deep-improved version of the t-54 by Northern Industry. It is equipped with a 100mm 1a10 high-combustion smoothbore tank gun. The stability system of the main gun has also been replaced with a two-way stability system. The sighting equipment has been fully updated, basically reaching the same level as the Black Panther. Of course, the t-55 not only improves firepower and fire control, but also further improves its armor defense capabilities.

For example, the front armor of the turret was increased to 200 mm, and the anti-shield part was even thicker than 220 mm, and the top armor was further strengthened to 120 mm (thirty-degree inclination angle, which is actually equivalent to 240 mm homogeneous steel armor).

Because of the reinforcement of the armor, Northern Industry equipped the T-55 with a power-enhanced version of the engine, which was called 12v150-600 in the Northern Industry, and b2-t55 in the Soviet Union.

Due to the weight gain of armor and power, the weight of the T-55 vehicle reached 37.5 tons, but due to the increase in power, the maneuverability did not decrease.

In addition to t54a and t-55, t-35a naturally had to participate in the military parade. Even t-34-85 hurriedly made a few cars to join in the fun. The big-headed t-34-85 looks so unique in a more symmetrical t-54 series.

In addition to tanks, the Air Force also showed sincerity, the la-5fn, yak-3, and yak-7p that had just stepped down the drawing board (fire-powered version equipped with 3 20mm cannons), and the Il-2 series, which was moving down the production line in a large number of tu-3 and pe-8 depth-improved models of heavy bombers, also appeared together.

Of course, the biggest highlight of this vigorous conference was definitely not the new weapon, but the speech of the core Soviet political leaders. Standing on the wall of the Red Square, Trotsky, who looked energetic in military uniform, delivered an important speech: "The Red Army, the soldiers of the Red Navy and the Red Air Force, the commanders and political workers, the men and women workers, the men and women farmers of the collective farms, and the intellectual workers. Brothers and sisters who were temporarily trapped behind the enemy under the oppression of German robbers, and our glorious men and women guerrillas who destroyed the rear of the German invaders, and comrades! On behalf of the Soviet government and our Bolshevik Party, I salute you! Today is International Labor Day. This should be a festival for workers all over the world.

, It is a celebration. But today we cannot celebrate this festival. Because the German bandits treacherously imposed war on us, causing great harm to us... We have temporarily lost some territory, and the enemy has invaded the gates of Kiev and Minsk. The enemy believes that after experiencing such a blow, our army will collapse and our country will surrender. However, the enemy miscalculated greatly. Although our Red Army was temporarily defeated, they still bravely counterattacked the enemy's attacks on the entire front, causing heavy losses to the enemy. Our country, all our people have formed a unified combat camp, and together with our Red Army, we will crush those invaders!"

Trotsky changed his tone and continued to say affectionately: "Our country has experienced a more critical time than it is now. Try to recall the situation when we celebrated the anniversary of the October Revolution in 1918. At that time, three-quarters of our territory were in the hands of foreign armed interferers and their spokespersons. At that time, we had no friends, we did not have the Red Army, we lacked food and weapons. At that time, fourteen imperialist rogue countries besieged our country. However, we were never discouraged. We organized the Red Army in the flames of war and turned our homeland into a military camp. At that time, the proletariat fought against armed interferers under the correct leadership of the Party. What was the result? As a result, we crushed the armed interferers, recovered all lost lands and won victory!"

Trotsky paused for a moment, then waved his fists and roared: "Now, our country is much better than twenty-four years ago... Can we doubt that we can and will defeat the German invaders?... Comrades! The whole world is watching you, seeing you as the pillars that can eliminate the German invaders. The enslaved people of Europe under the shackles of the German invaders are watching you, seeing you as their liberators. The great mission of liberation has fallen on your shoulders... To completely crush the German invaders! Eliminate the German occupiers!"

"This group of people with despicable, uncharacteristic, and beastly shamelessly called for the elimination of the great Russian nation. The elimination of Plekhanov and Lenin, Belinsky and Chernishevsky, Pushkin and Tolstoy, Glinka and Tchaikovsky, Gorky and Chekhav, Sechenov and Pavlov, Rebin and Sulikov, Suvorov and Kutuzov... The German invaders want to carry out an annihilation war against the people of all ethnic groups in the Soviet Union. Well, since the Germans want to carry out an annihilation war, they will definitely get an annihilation war. Our mission in the future is to annihilate all the Germans and other invaders who invaded our motherland's territory. For our great motherland, for our freedom and without enslavement! Comrades, move towards victory under the banner of the sickle and hammer! Ula!"

As soon as the words fell, 100,000 Red Army soldiers and 300,000 people in the entire Red Square and surrounding areas shouted tremblingly: "Ula!"

Standing not far away from Trotsky, Li Xiaofeng witnessed this scene throughout the whole process, and he was not only a witness, but also a recorder. Under his command, more than 100 high-definition cameras recorded all the shocking scenes in the military parade this day. Whether it is ten years, twenty years, thirty years, or a hundred years later, these will inspire the Soviet people and other peace-loving nations in the world to defend their freedom.

After Trotsky's speech, the military parade officially began. Vice Chairman of the Military Commission Fu Longzhi slowly walked by the Red Army in an open-top parade cart, and from time to time, he could hear the loud Ula voices of the soldiers.

However, the Politburo is actually controversial about who will inspect the troops. The main reason is that this work of showing off is too popular. To be honest, even Li Xiaofeng had a lot of ideas at one time. Fortunately, he knew that it was not his turn to show off now, so he restrained his impulse.

The final contenders were actually Trotsky and Sverdlov. Both of them wanted to tell their hearts to the Soviet Union and the world at this special moment. Of course, what is more important is to leave a precious political legacy.

"As the Chairman of the People's Committee and the General Secretary of the Party, I should be here to inspect the three armies!" This is Trotsky's reason, and Sverdlov said: "I am the Chairman of the Military Commission, as the commander of the three armies. Isn't it normal to inspect the three armies?"

The final result of the two quarrels was that no one got his wish, and Lenin had to make a ruling: "Comrade Trotsky and Comrade Yakov, you are both civilians, and the military affairs should be taken care of by the soldiers!"

The result is naturally that the Vice Chairman of the Military Commission, Fu Longzhi, unexpectedly reached the top, but no one would be dissatisfied with him when he inspected the three armies. After all, Fu Longzhi's prestige was there, and if he went there, he could avoid Trotsky and Sverdlov's fight.

Moreover, this is also a supreme honor for Fu Longzhi. At this time, he was also in a rush of heart when standing on the parade car. Especially when he saw a group of Red Army soldiers who were fully armed and heroic, his heart began to pulsate with the drum beats of "Sacred War".

When Fu Longzhi returned to the rostrum again, his face was already flushed. Of course, there were many people as excited as him. Trotsky was singing silently, Sverdlov's cheeks were red and bleeding, and Lenin, who was looking into the distance, was even more excited and shivered.

The only person who can remain calm for the time being is Li Xiaofeng, because he is a foreigner after all, and he does not have such a strong sense of inclusion. Moreover, he always feels that "The Unbreakable Alliance" is not powerful enough, and compared with "The March of the Volunteers" in the harmonious country, it is more beautiful but less momentum and a sense of urgency that can oppress the nerves.

Of course, his calmness is only relative. Compared with Lenin and the others, he is considered calm, but compared with his usual state, he is also excited. After all, not everyone can witness the Red Square parade in the Patriotic War.

In fact, at this moment, whether in Moscow Red Square or other parts of the Soviet Union, every citizen surrounded by the radio, even if he couldn't see the parade, he was extremely excited just by listening to the sound. Especially those soldiers fighting on the front line seemed to have been given a shot of stimulant.

The Sixth Army of the Red Army, Pang Ivan, the armored train and Yevgeni were rushing on the road in a convertible car. According to the requirements of the Military Commission, the Sixth Army must move from Semenovka to Shaostka as fast as possible, and cooperate with the main force of the Kursk Front to attack Gudri from behind to install the A cluster.

In the heavy snow, the soldiers were frozen like their three grandsons, but when "The Holy War" sounded, flames ignited in everyone's heart. Fat Ivan told the driver impatiently: "Start the radio a little louder and let the comrades listen to it. This song is more useful than roasting fire in winter!"

Although the armored train was sitting upright in the seat without expression, it was obvious that he was excited that people who knew him could see his true feelings from his slightly trembling hands. Yevgeni was a little more literary. He used his own brushstrokes to write and draw in his diary, and a poem gushed out.

The Fifth Army in Zhukov's south was also in a tense march. His mission was to regain Konotup. He had never seen one since two days ago. When "The Holy War" came from the radio, the blood-filled commander was even more powerful than drinking twelve cups of coffee in one breath. His loud voice roared again: "Big, I don't want to listen to your complaints. I just need the result. If you can't do it, I'll do it another person!"

Old Hemstrard, sitting in the captain's position, began to doze off. He was prone to sleep when he was old, especially for an elderly man who had been marching continuously and fighting for a day and a night. To put it bluntly, he could sleep anywhere. But just as he was about to fall asleep, the sound of Ula like a tsunami suddenly came from the radio. The old man shuddered, then raised his hand and slapped his mouth: "What are you sleeping? I'm always confused, you still have to fight. You can sleep whatever you want after you die in the battlefield!"

Behind the T-54 tank, Shi Nengji led his young man to walk forward in the mud. To be honest, this was really tiring, but the loudspeaker of the art troupe kept ringing around, and the playback was still "Sacred War".

Shi Nengji felt that the flower drum opera in his hometown was more exciting, but this passionate song also resonated with him. Involuntarily, like the young men around him, he moved forward and forward in the rhythm of the drums! (To be continued.)
