After the time entered December 1939, the weather in Moscow became extremely cold. Of course, almost all of Russia has such weather at this time. The Russians living in thisnd may have gotten used to it. However, for people in other countries, this is undoubtedly suffering.


    The German army and its allies have stopped attacking, and the entire front has switched to defensive operations. Moreover, except for a small number of troops left on the front line by the various army groups of the German army, the rest of the troops have retreated to rtively safe second-line positions to rest. Now the main force defending the frontline positions is the German Protectorate and Allied forces.


    Moreover, in order to allow the German army and its allies to survive the cold winter safely, before the cold winter came, Germany desperately transported various winter supplies to the front line. Cotton coats, down jackets, capes, military boots, fuel, etc.


    German Emperor Qin Tian believed that even in the cold winter, if the cold protection materials and supplies were sufficient, the German army and its allies could still survive this winter safely. At least there will not be too many nonbat attrition due to the cold. Qin Tian didn''t want the cold to cause arge number of nonbat attrition in the German army attacking Bu Russia. In that case, the casualties of the German army would probably increase further.


    The Russian army suffered heavy losses in the previous battles. After the German army stopped attacking, they also breathed a sigh of relief. This means that they have enough time to reorganize and train their troops to ensure that they can withstand the German attack and even further defeat Germany in the battle next spring.


    It''s just that the senior generals of the Russian army originally thought that there would be norge-scale military operations in the cold winter. But the reality is not what they thought at all.


    Joseph was originally a fickle and suspicious person. No one can expect him to remember the decisions or promises he made. It is precisely because of this that after Shaposhnikov reported the news of the annihtion of the navy to Joseph, Joseph began to n in his heart tounch a counterattack against the German army.


    "Comrades Joseph, Comrades Isakov, Comrades Orlov and Comrades Viktorov all sank into the sea together with the warships. In our navy, except for a few destroyers, the rest of the warships were all destroyed. The Germans have sunk!" Shaposhnikov reported.


    Joseph was expressionless, even though he built the Russian Navy by himself. The four most powerful "Burus-ss" battleships were all purchased from Germany by him. However,pared to the powerful army, the Russian navy is too weak. So much so that Joseph couldn''t see the strength of the navy at all. In fact, the biggest reason why he can secure his current position is that the army is in his hands. It is precisely because of this that even if the navy was wiped out by the Germans, Joseph did not feel too distressed.


    "Comrade Isakov and the others are all good. They knew they were invincible, but they still fought bravely to the end. This kind of spirit is worth learning from our army. Shaposhnikov, you must promote this kind of spirit to the entire army. Spirit, let them fight bravely even in the face of the mighty German army in the future battles! Only in this way can we defeat the mighty Germany and win the war!" Joseph said.


    He suddenly felt that the destruction of the navy could be used to inspire other Russian armies. Therefore, Joseph has already nned to promote the spirit of heroic fighting in the navy throughout the party and the whole country, so as to enhance the fighting spirit and courage of the army on the battlefield, and prepare for defeating Germany in subsequent battles.


    Shaposhnikov froze for a moment, then nodded immediately: "Yes, Comrade Joseph. I also believe that the deeds of the navy''s heroic battles can arouse enthusiastic repercussions among the people and the army. At that time, in future wars, We can easily defeat the Germans!"


    Joseph nodded in satisfaction, as if he was happy that he thought of this wisely.


    However, heter felt that the annihtion of the navy was also a shameful thing for him. After all, the whole Bu Russia and even the whole world know that the navy was built by him alone. Now, the navy is dead, and that''s going to make other people think too.


    More importantly, Joseph was about to lose confidence in the continuous failure of the Russian army. The disastrous defeat on the Western Front, the failure in the Middle East, and even the loss of the Baku oil field. Now even the navy is wiped out. This series of failures has already made Joseph very unhappy, almost to the point of uneptable.


    "Comrade Shaposhnikov, the cold winter ising. I think this also means that it is time for our home court. We must not let this period go!" Joseph said.


    Hearing what Joseph said, Shaposhnikov suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.


    Sure enough, Joseph immediately said something that almost caused Shaposhnikov to copse.


    "Comrade Shaposhnikov, I think we should seize this opportunity tounch a counterattack against the Germans. The Germans cannot adapt to the cold in Russia. It will be very beneficial to us tounch an attack at this time! We can hit hard in one fell swoop The Germans. Even if they cannot bepletely defeated, they can still make them pay a heavy price. In this way, it is entirely possible for us to resist the German attack in next year''s war, or even defeat the Germans in one fell swoop. It''s over!" Joseph said excitedly.


    He seems to have seen the Germans fleeing in embarrassment on the snow-coverednd in Russia. The corpses left by the Germans are everywhere on the ground, and many of them were frozen to death. Even the pure white snow was dyed red by the blood of the Germans.


    Shaposhnikov was dumbfounded. He never expected that Joseph would still want tounch a counterattack at this time. You know, judging from the current situation, if the Germans do notunch an attack, they should thank God for their blessings. How could they take the initiative tounch an attack? In that case, wouldn''t it be suicide?


    "Comrade Shaposhnikov, what do you think of my n? I think we can definitely make the Germans pay a big price." Joseph said.


    Under such circumstances, how else can Shaposhnikov answer? He was very clear about Joseph''s character.
