I'm playing whack-a-mole in Siberia

Chapter 917 Heavy Snow
Unless the Germans are severely punished, they will not realize their mistakes.

George not only wanted to conquer Germany militarily, but also psychologically, to make the Germans abandon their dreams of conquering the world and accept the new system of Russian dominance over Europe.

Franklin D. Roosevelt was rational and recognized that Russia's dominance in Europe was unshakeable, which is why he attempted to divide spheres of influence with Russia.

The British, unwilling to relinquish their influence in Europe, and still hoping to rally the United States to confront Russia, are destined to be delusional.

Roosevelt and Churchill promised George that they would reland within two months to cooperate with Russia in completely defeating Germany.

George believed that with America's strength, landing within two months would not be a problem.

But George will not give the Americans time to intervene in Germany.

France under de Gaulle's rule was actively moving closer to Russia. Georges only asked that de Gaulle not completely side with Britain and the United States, and did not require France to necessarily follow in Russia's footsteps.

Without the influx of German scientific and technological talent, George is really curious to see how the United States can change its unfavorable situation of being large but not strong in industry.

In another timeline, if the United States hadn't reversed its unfavorable situation with the "moon landing," the outcome of the Cold War would have been very different.

After Russia became the first country to successfully launch a satellite and send humans into space, a large number of Americans, especially American scientific and technological talents, flocked to Russia.

This situation was not reversed until the United States became the first country to land on the moon.

Russia has completed the design of its first space rocket and is currently organizing technology verification.

Once the preparations are complete, George will launch a satellite to tell people exactly where the beacon of civilization is on the Atlantic Ocean.

As the day of attack drew ever closer, news from Germany continued to pour into Alexandria.

"Our leaflets had the desired effect. The German army's fighting spirit was greatly weakened, and more and more auxiliary troops deserted. Entire battalions and companies disappeared overnight. The Germans are trying to fill the gaps in their defenses. Now is the best time for us to launch an offensive."

Andrei proposed launching an attack ahead of schedule.

"No, it's not time yet."

George wasn't in a hurry; once a promise was made, it had to be kept.

After the war, gaining the trust of the Germans became crucial to George's ability to successfully transform Germany.

If Hitler hadn't had his brilliant early victories, he wouldn't have been able to mobilize all Germans to fight a war of national destiny against Russia.

Andrei did not insist that the Russian army's decision not to launch a ground offensive did not mean that it could not carry out air strikes against Germany.

Russia's war preparations are based on the premise that the German army will resist to the end. It has stockpiled a huge amount of war materials, and factories in the rear are working day and night to produce them.

Although the Russian government is working to adjust its production plans, reduce the production of military supplies, and convert military industries for civilian use.

After the war, Russia will certainly experience a period of economic turmoil before it can successfully transition.

George had already prepared a plan for this issue.

In another timeline, the United States successfully transformed its influence over Europe into control of Europe through the "Marshall Plan" following World War II.

George followed suit.

After the war, Europe will quickly begin reconstruction, which will be a major boon to the Russian economy. With its resources and industrial strength, Russia is fully capable of supporting Europe's reconstruction.

After the reconstruction of Europe is completed, the fighting in East Asia should be almost over. At that time, Russia can continue to participate in the reconstruction of East Asia. The 156 Plan could also be reversed.

Unlike the cornered beast Hitler, Crown Prince Wilhelm hoped to end the war while minimizing German losses.

Spring came later than usual this year. Starting in the morning, heavy snow fell in Berlin. The cold wind, mixed with snowflakes, hit people's numb faces, quickly melting into water and then freezing again. Like many Germans, it felt like a dream.

Berlin still has plenty of supplies.

The problem was that Berlin's grassroots government institutions were completely paralyzed, and supplies could not be distributed to those in need in a timely manner. Crown Prince Wilhelm set up many distribution points within the Hohenzollern family estate, and from the morning onwards, long lines formed at all the distribution points as more and more people waited to receive their supplies.

The group in need of relief has expanded from civilians to workers, technicians, and military dependents, among others.

Due to the continuous bombing by the Russian army, most of the factories in Berlin were paralyzed, with only some military industrial departments continuing to maintain production.

After several days of continuous distribution, the supplies stored in the territory were almost exhausted. As the supplies at the distribution points dwindled, the lines waiting to receive supplies did not shorten but instead grew longer, causing many people to become anxious.

At 3 p.m., the supplies at the largest distribution point finally ran out.

"Please, I've been waiting all day, queuing here since 6 a.m. My child is waiting for me at home; she's only two years old and is starving—"

The woman at the front of the line pleaded desperately, unable to accept the outcome.

"I'm so sorry, so very sorry, we really have run out of food. Our supplies are completely exhausted—"

The supervisor in charge of distributing the supplies apologized repeatedly, saying he had been busy since morning and hadn't had a drop of water.

"Where is the Crown Prince? Please tell him that he will surely have a way—"

The lady placed her hopes on Prince William, probably because she thought he was omnipotent.

The supervisor turned his attention to Prince William, who was wearing a mask and hat, completely covered up, and was also busy at the scene.

Crown Prince William kept his head down, avoiding the expectant gazes around him.

"Your Highness—"

The woman's face held hope.

"Don't pressure the Crown Prince anymore. He has already done enough for us. He can't conjure up food."

An elderly man dressed in World War I uniform looked sorrowful.

"Berlin has plenty of food, so why are we starving to death?"

A wounded soldier, leaning on crutches and with bandages wrapped around his legs and head, roared angrily.

"Let's go to William Street, there's food there—"

Someone in the crowd shouted.

Crown Prince William frowned. William Street is the site of the former Prime Minister's Office.

The Chancellery, built during Bismarck's era, was located on Wilhelms Street. After Hitler became Chancellor, he expanded the Chancellery on the original site and moved the main entrance to Vossstrasse. Most Berliners still use Wilhelms Street to refer to the Chancellery.

"Don't cause trouble on William Street, or you'll be arrested!"

The Gestapo officers maintaining order at the scene prevented people from going to William Street.

"We're not going to cause trouble, we're just looking for food. Are we just supposed to starve to death?"

The people were in a state of high spirits.

"Get out of our way! Don't cause us any trouble!"

The Gestapo were unaware that the situation was about to spiral out of control.

Bah!
In the chaos, it was unclear who fired the shot, but the entire city was thrown into turmoil.
