Chapter 948: Schellner's Opposition
Blitzkrieg is premised on a large number of mechanized equipment.
Historically, although the German tank troops were very powerful, often unexpectedly running hundreds of kilometers, most of the German army was motorized, and even relied on two feet to go to the territory of the Soviet Union.
Polarization is also very serious, so that when the tank troops charge, the infantry cannot keep up, which is a frequent situation.
Ciric wasn't going to let that happen.
With the integration of European forces, the German troops must have a major blood change, there must be enough tanks, and the infantry accompanying the tank charge must also have mechanized means of action, even if it is an ordinary infantry division, there must be enough trucks to become a motorized infantry division, which will greatly improve the mobility of the troops, so as to be able to achieve victory in future wars.
The war will not be launched this year, Germany will have to prepare for at least a year, and when it comes to March next year, it will be the best chance to launch it!
Fighting a national war is not so easy, the training of troops, the assembly of equipment, and the accumulation of logistics materials all take time, and in Ciric's plan, in March next year, everything will be ready, and the war can start.
Speer nodded: "No problem at all." We will prepare all kinds of supplies needed by the troops, including winter clothing. β
Shirek was satisfied with his logistics minister, and even thought about the problem of winter clothing, even if the German army did not fight in winter, it would have to spend the winter in the Soviet Union.
The time, the place, the people, everything seemed to be accounted for, and for Ciric, it was done.
However, not everyone present remained optimistic.
For example, Schellner.
As a backbone member who followed Shirek to make a revolution in the beer hall at the beginning, Schellner has been rising continuously over the years, from an ordinary military commander to now, becoming a member of the core of the highest decision-making, and Schellner's own horizons are also expanding.
At the same time, because of his absolute loyalty to Ciric, Schellner can also speak outright many times and does not have too many concerns like others.
Although it was confirmed that Ciric was right every time, Schellner was still doing his duty: "FΓΌhrer Ciric, I don't think it's appropriate to start a war next year. β
Everyone present calmed down and listened to Schellner's words, in fact, some people also had this kind of concern in their hearts, but they didn't dare to say it.
"Now, the conflict in the Brest fortress is still intensifying, and this time the excitement is too great for the Soviets, who have concentrated a large number of troops, thinking that victory is within reach, but still loses, which will make the Soviets realize their inadequacy." "The Soviets will continue to improve their tanks, continue to move troops on the Western Front to defend against us, and if we delay the offensive until next year, it will definitely be a buffer for the Soviets," Schellner said. β
After a pause, Schellner continued: "We can boldly speculate that in this year's time, the Soviets' army may expand to 5 million, and their tanks may also expand to 20,000. β
Schellner's concerns are absolutely justified.
The conflict of the Brest Fortress taught the Soviets a practical lesson, the strength of the Soviet army is still a big gap to Germany, the Soviets will not be willing to lose, this year's time, will make the strength of the Soviet army also become stronger!
Historically, the Soviet Union did not fear a German attack, because the Soviets judged that Germany would not start a war in the east and fight on two fronts until the British problem was resolved.
But now, Britain has been solved, the USSR is already the biggest threat to Germany, and the Soviet leadership, absolutely aware of this problem, constantly makes their army stronger!
When it was discovered that Germany was recruiting troops, the USSR would do the same, and even more!
"Therefore, I suggest that we use the current Brest conflict as a fuse, directly start a war, and use our existing army to destroy the Soviet Union!" Schellner said.
Schellner finished speaking, and his eyes were still filled with the hope of victory.
Everyone's eyes are on Ciric, and now it is still in the discussion stage, anyone can ask questions, but when Ciric makes a decision, everyone will strictly implement Ciric's order, even if they think the order is inappropriate, they will carry it out!
"No, it's not the right time to do it." Ciric spoke: "Because we know that the war potential of the Soviet Union is incomparable to that of any country, it is much greater than that of Britain and France, and we cannot rush into action until we are fully prepared." β
Ciric looked at Schellner and said, "Actually, we are doing this to stimulate the Soviet Union, so that the Soviets can recruit more troops and let them send troops to the west. β
"Why?" Schellner was puzzled.
"Because only in this way will we be able to quickly eat them and destroy the living forces of the Soviets, which is also one of our main purposes of this war." "The Soviet Union, unlike other countries, had a stronger faith, and even if they took their capital, their resistance would be strong," Cirek said. β
"So, the most important thing is for us to destroy as many of their troops as possible in the war!" "Instead of having the Soviets constantly organize new troops during the war, it is better to destroy the main forces of the Soviet army now, at the beginning of the war," said Ciric. We relied on a blitzkrieg to eat the main forces that the Soviet Union had placed on the Western Front in one fell swoop, whether it was one million, two million, three million, five million, and we would have to make the Soviet Union lose its vitality! β
This is also one of the main goals of Ciric, the power of the blitzkrieg is quite large, in order to guard against Germany, the Soviets will deploy the main forces on the Western Front, once these troops are eaten by Germany, the reorganized second-line troops will have a step down in combat effectiveness!
Now, let the Soviets recruit them, the more troops the Soviets gather now, the more they will be eaten by their own side!
Just like in history, in the early days of Operation Barbarossa, millions of Soviets were consumed, and they were all the most elite troops in the formation!
"The first goal I just said is to destroy the living force of the Soviets, the Soviets, if they can organize a maximum of 10 million troops, we will eat their 10 million troops, so that the Soviet Union will not have a single man!"
