"How is this even a proper way to fight a war?!"
At dusk, upon receiving yet another order to retreat, Makarov finally couldn't hold back anymore. He resolved to go to Moscow and demand an explanation.
For half a month, the Southwestern Front Army led by Makarov had been retreating nonstop, with the orders always the same—retreat, retreat, and retreat again!
It felt like they were in some sort of race!
Warsaw, Minsk, Pskov, Estonia... one important city after another was abandoned. The Southwestern Front Army had already retreated to Kaluga, with Moscow just beyond.
Makarov had thought Kaluga would be the final line of defense, where they would fight the enemy to death if needed. Yet another retreat order came!
Katerina actually demanded that they retreat to Moscow, or even further behind Moscow, to protect the industrial zones!
What kind of war tactics are these?!
Could it be that they were about to abandon Moscow too, retreating all the way to Qiuming City?
