By this time, Red Russia had become three disconnected plots, and Moscow was surrounded by one of the largest strategic clusters of Red Russia, but only two-thirds of the weakest Southern Front before the war. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 There are very few tanks left, planes can only venture into the sky at night, almost all of them are on suicide missions, and even the always abundant artillery of the Red Russian army has become scarce, often a main division can only be equipped with 30-50 guns of more than 75 mm, and the ammunition will not exceed two bases, machine guns and rifles can not even meet the needs of the greatly reduced Red Russian army, and the workers' self-defense forces even the old-fashioned Dreiser pin guns have come in handy, and the only thing that is still surplus is grenades * The bombs and explosives were packed, which was also the last dessert prepared by the Red Russian army for the Chinese and German invaders. The strong Comrade Zhugashvili was still commanding the battle, but Vasilev and Zhukov could not make the battle report more exciting than the cold weather outside. In the face of more than 300,000 German troops and 230,000 well-equipped and well-supplied Chinese Defense Forces, the Red Russian Army obviously has little to parry, and the 170,000-strong White Russian Imperial Defense Army, as a peripheral support force, has long begun to sharpen its knives, and it is estimated that Moscow, in which the Peasants' and Workers' Party has an absolute advantage, will not lack terrorist elements for a long time.

Surrounded by the 6th Army and up to 350,000 troops sent by the subjects of the Great China Community, the lightly armed Red Russian Army, which was less than 50,000 men, was destined to fight the cold wind and hunger in the mountains this winter. In early November, four brigades of the Turkish Army joined the encirclement and suppression of the Russian army as an allied army, and even took over most of the work of clearing the mountains, although the 2,000 Chinese-made plastic body bags they ordered were obviously not enough.

Near the port of Murmansk in the north, there are remnants of the Red Russian 23rd Army and other disorganized Red Russian troops, numbered less than 20,000 troops on the Red Northern Front, and they are cut off from the world except for American freighters that delivered 500 tons of flour a month ago. Two Chinese armored divisions and five SS infantry divisions and three brigades of Finnish hunters in the German northern cluster have built an ice and snow defense line, and any Red Russian army that tries to break through will be hunted as prey, and they intermittently know that the nearest land with the same flag is only more than 500 square kilometers away from them, and it is 800 kilometers away from them, and the dead Red Russian army has finally stopped, Even General Chuikov, who had been airdropped to command the Front, had to eat the American flour in the Concealment Department while calculating the time of the total surrender.

No matter how you look at Red Russia, it is exhausted, but Germany, which seems to be victorious, is also at the end of its strength at this time. From the very beginning, Germany fought on two fronts, conquering the east and the west, and at the same time making great achievements in the war, it also put a huge burden on the German economy. At this time, although the Red Russian battlefield seemed to be in sight, the defeated German troops on the Western Front who retreated to London were on the verge of collapse at this time, and what was even more terrifying was that the Führer Hess suddenly found that his country's war potential had run out.

Before the war, the growth rate of Germany's manufacturing power was very limited compared to the progress of Red Russia. Although it has a certain advantage over the United Kingdom, it is considered that the population of the United Kingdom is only 44 million, compared to 80 million in Germany. When you take into account the manufacturing capacity of other countries in the Commonwealth, such as Canada, which ranks eighth, and countries such as Australia and New Zealand, Germany's advantage is not significant. Before the war, in order to strengthen the control of the Commonwealth countries, the United Kingdom was the "only arsenal" of the Commonwealth countries, and the industrial production capacity of other countries was extremely limited for the military industry, and most of the military equipment needed to be imported from the British mainland. In the aftermath of the Great War, other Commonwealth countries, led by Canada, produced large quantities of military equipment for wartime attrition in an undisturbed environment. In this respect, it is difficult for Germany to compare, although its allies and occupied areas also have considerable military industries, but among the military industrial products in these regions, only light weapons, light armored vehicles, and so on are acceptable. For technical reasons, these countries were able to play a very limited role in the aircraft, warships, and heavy artillery that Germany desperately needed.

After the Workers' Party came to power, Germany's military spending was simply insane, and in the first 18 years of the Workers' Party, it was twice as high as that of Britain and the United States combined in the same period! It can be said that Germany has been preparing a lot for war since the mid-30s. This state of affairs has a negative impact on the development of the national economy. In 1938, as a percentage of net available products, Germany had 16.6 per cent of net products for military purposes, 7.9 per cent in Great Britain and 1.5 per cent in the United States. That is, although Germany took the lead in the mid-to-late 30s and took the lead temporarily, it did not have much momentum. After all, Germany does not have enough mineral resources, overseas interests and foreign exchange reserves to sustain this high growth momentum.

Germany's armament problems stemmed directly from Sitara's strategy, because Sitara had never expected to fight against a group of great powers, and he had no intention of fighting a protracted war. What he expected was to achieve his limited goals in the short term through diplomatic threats or blitzkrieg. It is for this reason that the volume of German armaments production was determined not by the available resources, but by a much lower level based on the needs of such strategic estimates. In addition, the concentrated production of weapons for immediate use, the "breadth armament", is precisely a tactic adapted to this lightning strategy.

But General Thomas, who was in charge of Germany's war mobilization, and many of his colleagues in the German General Staff, never endorsed Sitara's strategy. What they want is "deep armament", that is, a war that is solidly prepared, carefully organized, and carefully directed; "What they want is to be able to fight a protracted war against the union of the great powers." In addition to the weapons they already have, they need a large stockpile of equipment and heavy industry in general to replace them. Although there was a considerable increase in the production of coal, iron ore, pig iron and crude steel in Germany, most of which had been used in the thirties for the war industry, increasing the production of coal and steel from the "existing" factories was not equivalent to deep armament, and the German military industry seemed to be very advanced, but due to the lack of effective and lasting support from all sectors of the national economy, coupled with the lack of scale, it would simply not be able to meet the needs of a long and brutal all-out war, if it were not for the Eurasian land bridge, which China had maintained since before entering the war, for the blood transfusion of Germany, Germany would have run out of ammunition and food even when the Red Russians invaded.

Later, although Hess stabilized the regime, on the one hand, he relied on China's military aid, and on the other hand, he also ignored the adjustment and improvement of the German military industry and even various sectors of the national economy, and the German tanks overdrew their energy, although the current German army still maintains an astonishing number of 3.5 million, but the actual combat power is not as good as before. The 40 divisions of the German army on the British front could not resist the attack of 4 armored divisions and 21 infantry divisions of the British and American coalition forces, and they were defeated one after another, and even the important steel base of Aberdeen had been lost.

Manstein, Bock, Rundschneider and other important generals of the German army also saw the decline of the German army, and advocated mobilizing some of the elite of the German army on the eastern front to quickly move westward to balance the situation of the British war and prevent being driven out of the English Channel by the British and American troops. However, the head of Hess was slow to make up his mind, because he did not yet have confidence in the territorial division and a series of interests after the war on the Eastern Front had subsided, and the Ural line was no longer appropriate, but it was still unknown whether Germany would be able to secure a peaceful development environment for itself after China gained a firm foothold in the Russian hinterland.

Führer Hess's troubles were still far away, and thousands of miles away in the North Pacific, and Admiral Eastwood of the 58.2nd Fleet in the North Pacific was frowning into a pimple. Originally, he was in a good mood, after all, it was luck to be transferred to the relative safety of the Aleutian Islands near the Aleutian Islands before the critical moment of the Sino-US war, although he did not think that he would be afraid of the Chinese Navy, but it was always a good thing to have other generals to touch the Chinese first. But now his mood is terrible, just a 15,000-ton requisitioned large passenger liner burst out without warning two flames, and then broke into three in front of everyone's eyes, and sank into the ice sea with a whirlpool, leaving only one stern still stuck straight up and down in the water, it seems that once the compressed air escapes, it will also play an underwater adventure with other parts.

"Damn, it's a submarine." Eastwood had already reacted, and the commander of the destroyer group also sent ships to start a circle search, and the noise of active sonar made the surrounding fish either faint or panic. But after more than an hour of searching, all you can get is a forest of water columns made by depth charges.

"It doesn't look like it's Japanese, otherwise it would have been discovered a long time ago. Our depth was too shallow, and we told Colonel Anderson that we were going to increase the depth to 80-120 meters, and I think we ran into a damn Chinese submarine. "Eastwood is an experienced ship commander, and the voiceprint characteristics of the Japanese Izi submarines are well known to the U.S. Navy, and the fact that they have not discovered it means that it is not the good work of those old Japanese submarines.

"Boom" Eastwood's feet shook, he was pushed onto the deck by a powerful shock wave, the stern of the cruiser USS Bunker Hill under his feet was hit by a torpedo *, the entire thrust system became unrecognizable, and what was even more terrible was that it ignited the heavy oil tank, which was in danger of exploding at any time.

A dazed Eastwood and dozens of sailors on deck began to lower their lifeboats and abandon their ships to evacuate. Soon the lifeboats were all lowered, but apparently not enough for so many people, so more sailors grabbed the ropes of the lifeboats and began to row as far as they could, otherwise they would have turned into boiled fish if the Bunker Hill set off fireworks.

While the whole fleet was nervously busy, a depth charge "boom" brought up a high column of water on the water, but the difference was that there seemed to be steel fragments and oil stains in it.
