607 – Stalingrad (3)
The Battle of Stalingrad attracted a lot of attention when it first started, but it didn’t really surprise people.
It was only close to a battle of politics and pride between Hitler and Stalin, and no one predicted that this place would turn into hell.
They must have thought of it as a picture of the Soviet Union counterattacking while Nazi Germany was vigorously pushing ahead like the siege of Moscow.
Actually, this is correct. Until now, the development of the German War was the attack of Nazi Germany and the defense of the Soviet Union.
Although the U.S. is providing supplies through lend-lease, the Soviet Union was so weak that it suffered more defeats.
[Stalingrad will eventually end with the defense of the Soviet Union.]
So many predicted that Stalingrad would also end with a Soviet save. Others agreed on this.
As this is the most important battle, both forces will give their best, but in the end, Nazi Germany will meet its material limits.
Above all, Nazi Germany was unable to exert its own strengths, so the Soviet Union had no choice but to save.
[The casualties in Stalingrad have already exceeded 100,000. Quite a few casualties.]
However, as time passed, the atmosphere gradually began to change.
Is it a bit high when the number of casualties exceeds 100,000? Most of the responses were.
Even today, many more Jews die in the Holocaust. As a result, there was little interest in the casualties themselves.
[Stalingrad battle casualties are updated every time.]
So it was updating casualties every time as time passed.
For example, something like this.
[A few days after the Battle of Stalingrad.]
[X dead and wounded on the side of Nazi Germany.]
[Soviet X killed and wounded.]
Up until now, casualties had been recorded whenever large and small battles occurred, but Stalingrad was a battle that lasted for six months.
Of course, the number of casualties in one battle was bound to increase, and readers’ feelings began to change as time passed.
At first, it might have seemed like a rather large battleground, but the size of the city of Stalingrad is more like a small industrial city.
Even so, the number of casualties increases exponentially, so it is inevitable to have wide-eyed eyes.
[Two months have passed. North Africa ends with the retreat of Nazi Germany, and the Pacific War is dominated by the United States. And today 10,000 people died in Stalingrad.]
[There are no soldiers in Stalingrad. There are only survivors.]
[The battle for the pride of the two countries has turned into a battle for fate.]
When about 300,000 casualties occurred, they said they couldn’t believe it and were astonished. As we all know, the armies of this world are very small.
The administrative power was not developed, so the conscription system was not properly developed, and even raising a standing army was a arduous task.
Even the Minerva Empire doesn’t have many standing troops because raising a single knight itself costs a lot of money.
Of course, by the standards of this world, it’s a lot, but it’s a huge expenditure.
However, as many as 300,000 casualties occurred in Stalingrad, so it is inevitable to be astonished.
[Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union are pushing their soldiers into Stalingrad.]
[The average survival time of recruits is 24 hours. But every 7 seconds the soldiers are returning to nature.]
[When will this hell end?]
Even the siege of Moscow ended in three months, but the battle of Stalingrad gradually fell into a swamp.
In particular, there was no answer unless each building was completely occupied, and even civilians took up guns.
In a situation where you don’t know when, where, and who will come out, you will have no choice but to go crazy. In fact, it was.
Sometimes, there were readers who asked if this made sense or if it wasn’t too unrealistic.
[It’s the kings who push the soldiers in there. Will you defy your king’s command?]
Of course, I agree with all the objections of one critic. In fact, Hitler and Stalin reign as totalitarian kings, so it is not wrong.
In fact, there are many historical records of large-scale armies being annihilated due to the wrong orders of the king. Or do you retreat and start a rebellion?
However, Hitler and Stalin are in a situation where they have eliminated all their opponents and wield unbridled power.
In other words, he holds more real power than the emperor. No one can disobey their orders.
[I close my eyes and open them. There are traces of bullets going through the comrade’s head. I survived today.]
[The bombing fell today. The recruit’s body was shattered. Organs splattered in my face. I survived today Will I be able to survive tomorrow?]
[Let’s kill some more damn fascists before we die. I will slit their throats, approach my comrades, and boast about them. Long live Mother Russia!]
The Battle of Stalingrad itself is spicy, but you get used to it if you keep eating it. So I introduced the ‘protagonist’.
It is more like a survivor than a protagonist, but we plan to set it up as a person who survives the Battle of Stalingrad to the end.
And when the battle is over, they will advance, expressing their infinite hatred towards Nazi Germany. The above description is the cornerstone for that.
[Survivor Dmitri’s survival diary is calm, but that’s why it’s more scary. It vividly describes the process of humans gradually falling into hatred.]
[How long will Dmitri survive? How long will you fight?]
[What’s more unfortunate is that I can’t attach affection. It will disappear the moment you attach affection.]
The motive that is not Dmitri’s motive is, of course, my father. I asked for advice with my father’s permission, and he gladly gave it.
The trauma of the past has already been healed by visiting Mora’s temple with her family, and it is better to leave the past in the past.
I asked several times in case it would cause PTSD, but my father readily agreed.
Rather, it is said that this kind of thing should be widely spread so that we can understand the horror of war.
Anyway, my father told me about his experience working in the Northern Zone.
‘It was really like Stalingrad.’
The scale was much smaller, because the era was the era, and the average survival time of the recruits was longer, but the horrors matched.
The barbarians attacked the base of the Navy Knights at every opportunity, and the Navy Knights fought desperately against them.
And I was able to get amazing facts one by one as I listened to the story from my father.
“The Navy Knights were actually a penal unit. Now, because the emperor honorably honored them, there were quite a few criminals who came in there with the promise of freedom.”
“It was really a punishment unit?”
“I guess you were predicting that?”
Just like my father said, I was predicting it to some extent. They were praised as the strongest knights, but until then, the treatment was the worst.
If it was really the strongest knights, they would have provided all kinds of support so that the knights wouldn’t die.
However, when my father worked, there were more things that had to be done with the body, let alone supplies.
Moreover, according to Beritt’s words, hadn’t his father also said that he had been forced to move out?
Killer, nothing is easier to keep a secret than to kill someone who knows the truth.
“Yes. Now they are giving me a reward worthy of my honor, but it wasn’t like that in the past.”
“Yes it was.”
“Are there really any criminals who are set free?”
“There are probably two or three of them. One is still in touch. From what I’ve heard, most of them were fallen nobles or those who were caught unfairly.”
A devil worshiper might also be in the middle. While I was thinking about it, my father added an explanation.
“By the way, those with more serious crimes were executed a long time ago, so don’t worry.”
“ah.”
Also in the Middle Ages. It is a world where serious criminals are punished without penalty.
In any case, Dmitri can be seen as the main character who referenced his father a lot.
The main character who will survive to the end and will make a tremendous achievement in the future based on that experience.
In many ways, the background is similar to the character in the game on Earth, but the difference is that the motif is the father.
‘Can it be slightly different from the actual history?’
If Dmitri becomes popular, he might plant a Soviet flag on the Reichstag.
I will have to go through the build-up steadily until then. Even now, it is getting a pretty good response.
“If it makes you uncomfortable, I’ll quit right away.”
“How do you quit?”
“Uh… should I kill you?”
“······”
My father’s expression became strange at the thoughtless answer he gave.
Then he scratched his red beard on his chin and spoke quietly.
“Just save me. It’s embarrassing for nothing.”
“Yes.”
If your father is, then so be it. It seemed like it would be better to keep Dmitri alive until the end.
Jung or make an impact like Patton or a model. For reference, Patton is still very popular.
Probably because his personality is more suited to a medieval general than a modern one. In addition, the reaction is good because he has the ability.
Although the mouth is a bit of a problem, most of them say that it is exciting and go over it.
In particular, the speech of the legend itself remains, ‘A f*cking bastard named Patton’.
‘Mussolini is the licorice of the Axis drugstore, and Patton is the licorice of the Allied side.’
And the general who will be in charge of Nazi Germany’s poop show will gradually move from Rommel to a model.
The common point is that both of them persevered despite the hopeless supply and power of Nazi Germany.
In this way, the Battle of Stalingrad continued with countless casualties.
People also read the next volume, wondering how many soldiers would be killed or injured.
[New cards appear in Call of Duty! Just Stalingrad.]
[A card that has the effect of causing extreme attrition to each other and induces a fight.]
[People are concerned that most of the major battlefields will be Stalingrad…]
It appeared in Call of Duty on the Stalingrad card that created the new word ‘meta’.
Apparently, it was a battle that was no different from a war of attrition itself, so it seems that a similar effect was given to Call of Duty.
The problem is that the war of attrition is too much. Although it was a card that made good use of historical research, it was a card that was a gambler enough to completely overturn the unfavorable war situation.
Well, the balance problem will be solved by Musk, not by me. I went through the day not caring.
[The Prophet North, who has been silent. Casualties in the Battle of Stalingrad would be 2 million!]
But this man, Nos, prophesied again. I read the newspaper and widened my eyes.
This made me wonder if he was a real prophet. I figured out the unplay to attract me a long time ago.
However, it is an attack that cannot be stopped even if you know it, and the last six weeks in France and even the casualties of the Battle of Stalingrad were accurately guessed.
‘Wouldn’t it be bad to meet once?’
I really want to see your face once.
