Chapter 248 Atlantic Charter

Because the Soviet Union simply could not withstand it, it was almost a one-sided battle. If Britain, France, and the United States ignored the Soviet Union at this time, the Soviet Union might not be able to hold on for a few months. Now even the cities on the Eurasian dividing line have been occupied by the German SS.

, directly cutting the number into two sections, this SS unit was like a sharp blade, penetrating directly into the heart of the Soviet Union - the Ural Industrial Zone.

Aware of the unprecedented serious crisis, Stalin immediately accepted General Vasilevsky's suggestion and sent his own senior officials to visit Britain, France and the United States. Of course, they all had special missions.



The leaders of Britain, France and the United States quickly met with senior officials sent by the Soviet Union and learned about the reality that the Soviet Union was at the end of its rope. Both Churchill and Roosevelt felt that if they waited for Germany's entangled rogue state to completely defeat the Soviet Union, it would be too late.

Churchill and Roosevelt, nine days after the outbreak of the Soviet-German war, on April 29, 1940, the United States and Britain urgently needed to further coordinate their anti-fascist strategies. On April 30, 1941, the two heads of state met in Aginsha Bay, Newfoundland, in the northern Atlantic Ocean.

The Atlantic Conference was held on the USS Augusta and the Atlantic Charter was signed.

The document contains 8 articles, declaring that the two countries will not pursue territorial or other expansion, will not recognize the territorial changes caused by the EU through aggression, respect the right of the people of all countries to choose their form of government, and restore the sovereignty of the people of each country that has been violently deprived.

Enjoy equal treatment in trade and raw materials, promote the most comprehensive economic cooperation among all countries, rebuild peace after destroying Nazi tyranny, and have freedom of navigation on the high seas. Countries must abandon force and reduce armaments. Disarm aggressor countries. The Atlantic Charter proposes to the EU

The purpose of the national war and the goal of reconstruction after the war embody the general principles of bourgeois democratic politics and play a positive role in fueling the formation of the international anti-EU united front.

However, "equality of opportunity", "freedom of the seas" and other contents are conducive to the United States competing with Britain for sphere of influence after the war and gaining a "leadership position" in the world. The Atlantic Charter also reflects the contradiction between Britain and the United States competing for colonial interests. The United States relies on its economy

Strength and strong emphasis on inserting the principles of "equal opportunity" and "freedom of the seas" into the Charter, which reflects the United States' desire to compete for British colonies. At the same time, the essential symbol of the Atlantic Charter is the political alliance between Britain and the United States on the basis of anti-EU

.

Of course, Stalin most hoped for such an anti-EU alliance. The Soviet Union was already in danger and teetering on the edge of collapse. If Britain, France, and the United States did not lend a helping hand and directly participate in the war, the Soviet Union would not be able to stop Germany's steel torrent and even drag the war into

Even in the cold winter, Stalin quickly expressed his stance that he fully agreed and supported the Atlantic Charter.

As soon as the Atlantic Charter was signed, Churchill couldn't wait to convene a meeting in London, England, on May 1, 1940. The United States, Britain, the Soviet Union, Belgium, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Yugoslavia, Poland (in exile), and Czechoslovakia

(in exile), Greece (in exile), Norway and France participated in the meeting. A total of twenty-one countries and regions joined the "Atlantic Charter" organization, which is also called the "Atlantic Alliance". In fact, the "Atlantic Charter" has

Become a treaty of alliance between these countries.

At this time, the United States still did not declare war on the European Union, because the Lend-Lease Act allowed American gun dealers to make a fortune and allowed the United States to step out from behind the scenes. The Atlantic Charter allowed the United States to take the rostrum. The United States

Taking the rostrum does not mean that the United States will immediately declare war and join the war. The United States will definitely make a comprehensive evaluation and find out which situation will benefit the most. At that time, the United States will declare war and join the war. This is determined by the nature of the capitalist country of the United States.

At least the United States has expressed its clear position against the European Union. This is what Churchill wants. Churchill also knows that it is absolutely unrealistic to ask the United States to send soldiers to fight Germany now. Churchill is relieved and begins to make preparations.

own actions.

It is necessary to support the Soviet Union with some weapons and ammunition. Even the United States has become very generous at this time. It directly gave Stalin a P59 jet aircraft from an aviation regiment. Stalin did not care whether the American planes were brought to the Soviet battlefield.

As long as it was weapons and equipment, Stalin would not reject anyone. It was more convenient for Britain to send weapons and ammunition to the Soviet Union through the North Sea. In order to enable Stalin to persevere, Churchill would also donate weapons and ammunition to the Soviet Union in large quantities.

Of course, Churchill's action was to prepare for war. Now that the German army has penetrated hundreds of kilometers into the Soviet Union, it has not completely plunged its troops into the Soviet Union. Will Churchill choose to fight at this time? Of course he will not choose to fight at this time. Churchill is not stupid.

When the main force of the German army was basically under the city of Moscow, fighting a bloody battle and falling into a stalemate, that's when Churchill took action.

As for when Germany can reach Moscow, it depends on the ability of the German army. Churchill estimated that the Soviet Union will hold on to Moscow for a few months between June and September this year. Once the war enters the harsh winter, the Soviet Union can

Launch some local counterattacks. If the Soviet Union wants to persist until the winter, not only the United States must vigorously support the Soviet Union, but President Roosevelt has agreed to vigorously assist the Soviet Union. Similarly, Britain and France must also vigorously assist the Soviet Union with some arms and weapons. Only in this case can the Soviet Union persist.

Come down.

Several major countries of the Atlantic Alliance, Britain, France and the United States, all extended a helping hand to the Soviet Union. A steady stream of arms was transported to various Soviet seaports by sea. At this time, the Soviet Union's more than 10 million regular troops lacked advanced weapons.

Among them are American medium tanks and "Bazookas".

The "Bazooka" series of rocket launchers are among the best in anti-tank weapons owned by the U.S. Army. As the originator of medium-caliber rocket launchers, its fame dwarfs other anti-tank weapons of the same period. Some even assert that "Bazooka"

The invention of the "Zuka" was the United States' greatest contribution to the development of anti-tank weapons during World War II. Its emergence allowed the U.S. infantry to regain confidence in the face of German tank attacks, and made "tanks the most effective anti-tank weapon."

This famous conclusion has been shaken.

The "Bazooka" now urgently shipped to the Soviet Union is an early model M1 developed by the United States. Its caliber is only 60 mm. Although the "Bazooka" only has a caliber of 60 mm, its vertical armor-breaking capability is 127 mm. This penetration

Of course, it cannot penetrate the front and sides of the imitation Type 99 tank, but there is absolutely no problem with the chrysanthemums of the imitation Type 99 tank. If the Tiger tank is equipped with external armor, only the chrysanthemums will be penetrated.

However, other types of German tanks are no match for the "Bazooka". For example, the Panzer III and Panzer IV tanks cannot even withstand the "Bazooka" from the front. The front armor of the Panzer IV tank is only 80 mm. The American tank

"Bazooka" said that there is no pressure. As for the American Sherman tank and the German Panzer IV tank, they are of the same class and are both very superior tanks.

This time, the high-ranking officials sent by Stalin gained a lot. The United States alone sent 2,000 Sherman tanks and 5,000 "Bazooka" anti-tank rocket launchers to the Soviet Union, including leases and gifts, and more than 100 P59 jets.

aircraft, and more than 500 other piston aircraft. There were countless light weapons. Britain and France also donated large quantities of arms to the Soviet Union, such as Matildas, etc., all of which were quickly shipped to the Soviet Union in large quantities.

The three major countries, Britain, France and the United States, were very worried that Stalin would not be able to support him and would surrender to Germany. In fact, this was because they were overly concerned. How could a dictator like Stalin surrender? It was absolutely impossible. Of course, these imperialist countries also

They had their own plan, which was to arm the Soviet Union and let the Soviet Union and Germany fight to the death on Soviet soil. The longer the fight, the better. The more brutal the fight, the more beneficial it would be to Britain, France, and the United States.



Of course Vasilevsky is waiting for the arrival of these weapons, the most important of which are aircraft and "Bazooka", because Vasilevsky is deeply aware that with the help of infantry and junk tanks, Orsk will be completely wiped out very quickly.

It is not realistic at all to help the SS. Anyway, several anti-tank trenches have been dug and the entire Orsk has been heavily surrounded. These SS troops have no way to escape and destroy the Ural Industrial Zone. As for the SS here,

The military and air force, Vasilevsky had no way to stop their actions, because the Soviet aircraft in Vasilevsky's hands were no match for them, so Vasilevsky simply hid his aircraft and waited for the jets with American assistance.

After the aircraft arrived, they worked together to strangle the German air force here.

Vasilevsky was waiting, and Vincent was constantly reinforcing his defensive positions. Of course, the Soviet army was also building various fortifications. Neither side attacked the other. Only the SS Air Force occasionally sent out planes to bomb.

For the Soviet defense line, Vincent's various supplies are now strategic, and he dare not waste them at all. As long as the Soviets do not attack him, Vincent will not take the initiative to attack the Soviet Union in Eurasia.

The border railway hub and the Ural Industrial Zone are Vincent's focus.

Vincent's side was relatively calm, while the Baku area was in full swing at this time. After Zhang Jun completely eliminated Zhukov's more than 200,000 Far East Red Army troops, he immediately handed over these prisoners to Blucher and Yegoro

The two SS lieutenant generals, Blyucher and Yegorov, were also more powerful. They actually recruited 180,000 people from these prisoners, which was the number of people for five full armies.

Zhang Jun immediately sent a telegram to Hitler to ask for instructions to form the First Army of the Russian SS. At the same time, Blyucher and Yegorov were promoted to generals, Yegorov to the commander of the group army, and Blyucher to the chief of staff and deputy commander.
