The Third Reich: The Return of the King

Chapter 1181

Comrade Steel has escaped!

Starling, who has always been known for his iron will, abandoned his beloved capital at the last moment. Before the real enemy arrived, he gave up here and chose to escape.

The Soviet army in the city was struggling to hold on. The only force that supported them to continue fighting was their leader, and their head of state was still in the city.

When the news of Starling’s escape came, the belief that supported them completely collapsed!

The Soviet soldiers became confused all of a sudden!

Where did Starling escape to? Should they chase him?

If they chased him, could they turn defeat into victory?

The German army was coming soon. They had lost their capital before the enemy’s main force arrived.

If the enemy’s main force arrived, the scene would be unimaginable.

The four or five million elite Soviet troops on the front line were wiped out in just one month. What could their second-line troops, even third-line troops and inferior recruits, use to fight the German army?

If the battle continued, there would definitely be only one result, that is, they would die on the battlefield!

If their death can bring victory, then dying for the country does not seem unacceptable.

However, even if they died on the battlefield, it would not affect anything. The Soviet army could not defeat the German army, and the road that awaited the Soviet army was destined to be a road of destruction.

With this thought, their beliefs began to waver.

As a result, many Soviet troops chose to stay and were unwilling to follow their leader to retreat eastward.

Of course, some people who were loyal to Starlin still chose to support him as always. These people caught up with Starlin with their troops and even their families, and retreated to the Ural Industrial Zone with Starlin.

In the city of Moscow, the civilians who started the riot, after rushing into the Kremlin, searched through boxes and cabinets, but still could not find Starlin.

Just as they were about to dig three feet into the ground and must find Starlin, news came from outside that Starlin had escaped.

This news disappointed these people. They were only a little bit away from success. If they had been faster before, they might have caught up with Starlin before he escaped!

But the result now was not particularly bad. At least they still occupied the city of Moscow.

They drove away Starlin and his lackeys and became the masters of Moscow. Many people were very proud of this!

“We must immediately issue a peace proposal to the Third Reich, otherwise, Moscow will suffer another round of war!”

After the rebellion was successful, these bears immediately thought about how to stop the German army from attacking Moscow.

The option of fighting the other side to the end was directly ruled out. They were just a group of rabble, lacking guns and artillery, and had no way to fight against millions of German regular troops. So if they insisted on resisting, it would be a dead end.

However, they had just seized control of Moscow and drove away Starling.

For those who have tasted power for the first time, it is very difficult to let them give up the power in their hands, even if their power is as fragile as flowers in the mirror and the moon in the water.

“How about we send people to negotiate with the Third Reich? As long as we don’t let their troops enter Moscow, we can discuss other conditions later!”

These people thought this was a good idea, so after some discussion, they sent several representatives to the German army to prepare for negotiations with the German army!

At the same time, Heinrich, who had completed his mission, rushed to the west one step ahead to meet with Manstein.

“This group of people want to negotiate with us?”

After hearing the news brought back by Heinrich, Manstein was a little surprised.

Starling was driven away by the chaos created by the riots by Heinrich. This is good news.

Without Starling’s presence, even if there are still some Soviet troops left in Moscow, they are definitely no match for the German army. I believe the German army will be able to capture the city soon.

However, the second news brought by Heinrich made him frown.

A group of rabble actually wanted to negotiate with him?

Who do they think they are!

Not to mention that Manstein was unwilling Even if we talk to them, even if we randomly pick a corps commander or even a division commander from the German army, I’m afraid they won’t be willing to talk to them!

After all, the other party is just a group of rabble who managed to seize power with the help of the SS.

Moreover, the area they control is very small, and it is hard to say whether they have even gained control of Moscow, let alone other areas of the Russian bear.

In this case, negotiating with such a group of people who have no foundation and no strength is simply a humiliation to one’s identity.

Manstein doesn’t have the time to do such meaningless things.

“Yes, they feel good about themselves. Although the demands they put forward seem excessive, I think this is not a bad thing!”

Heinrich also laughed, but after laughing, he changed the subject and seemed to be ready to speak well of this group of people.

Manstein stared at him for a few seconds and asked,”Don’t keep us in suspense. What plans do you have for the SS?”

His time is limited, and he has no time to guess riddles with Heinrich here. If this guy was not someone whom Mainz valued very much, Manstein might not have met him. After all

, the people of the Wehrmacht have a natural distrust and resistance to the SS.

Himmler’s SS is mainly divided into two parts, one is an intelligence spy agency responsible for collecting intelligence, planning attacks and assassinations.

The other is an armed force with armed forces, also known as the Waffen SS.

There are many elite troops in the Waffen SS, and their organization and combat effectiveness are not much different from those of the Wehrmacht, and the combat effectiveness of some troops is even stronger.

This is not a good thing for the Wehrmacht, because the types of the two sides are too similar. Recently, the existence of the SS will bring them great pressure, weaken their strength, and even take away a large amount of their military expenditure.

Therefore, whether from the perspective of generals or ordinary soldiers, the Wehrmacht has reason to be wary of the Waffen SS.

However, the embarrassing thing is that many senior generals in the Wehrmacht are actually members of the Forward Party. Although they have not joined the SS, they will definitely not stand up and openly oppose the SS. This has led to the Wehrmacht being unhappy with the SS, but it has not been able to do anything substantial.
