Chapter 755: Yes, I believe in the Führer
In later generations, many believed that if Franco's Spain had entered World War II, German and Italian troops would occupy the Strait of Gibraltar, which was under the jurisdiction of LinkedIn.
After that, it would be easy to completely blockade the choke point between the Mediterranean and the Atlantic, and once the German and Italian armies did so, then the British and American forces would not be free to provide supplies and support to the North African theater through the Strait of Gibraltar.
In the end, the British and American forces could only pass through the Cape of Good Hope at the southern tip of Africa, but if the British and American forces chose this arduous sea route, they would not only face the continuous interception of the German submarine forces, but also require a large amount of manpower, material resources, fleet escort convoys, and other unforeseen dangers.
Therefore, once the British and American forces could not provide sufficient support to the British army in North Africa, then the German and Italian armies could go all the way to the east, fight to the Middle East, occupy a large area of Middle East territory, defeat the British army, and meet the Japanese army in the south of the Middle East to India, threatening the security of the Soviet army itself.
And if the Germans controlled the Middle East, then the natural resources transported by the British overseas colonies such as India, Egypt, Arabia, and Australia would be completely divided between Germany and Japan.
At that time, there will be a shortage of food and all kinds of natural resources in Britain, which will lead to famine and all kinds of disasters in Britain.
When it comes to that kind of uncontrollable situation, I am afraid that the British army will not have much mind to resist the German occupation of the entire European theater, or even land on British soil to fight.
And the most important thing is that when the Germans, Italians and Japan controlled the oil fields in North Africa and the Middle East, as well as the iron ore in India, and the human resources of a large colony in Southeast Asia, the manpower of the three major axis powers of Germany, Italy and Japan no longer had to worry about the lack of material resources, and even one of their biggest shortcomings, oil, was also solved.
Then when the time comes, it will be much easier to deal with the Soviet Army and the US Army, two powerful and vast countries.
You can even break them one by one and defeat them one by one.
Of course, for the final landing of the German army on British soil, I am afraid that at that time, only the punching battle will be the largest air battle in the world.
Because the U.S. military will not just let the German army defeat the British army and occupy LinkedIn.
Therefore, the British and American air forces will definitely send a large number of them over to engage in fierce air battles in the English Channel.
It will be a showdown between more than 10,000 fighters and bombers, as well as carrier-based aircraft.
However, for the Waffen-SS troops who were gathering on the Eastern Front, there was no way for them to see such a thing, and even Chen Yanlong might not be able to complete the fiercely controversial style of the World Forum.
Because he had crossed over too late, and the direction of the war was not something he could have fully predicted and estimated.
And the thing that worries him the most is that his biggest gold finger now, the smartphone that can be exchanged for weapons and equipment beyond the times, has not yet woken up from his slumber.
Moreover, the advanced weapons and equipment used by the German army are all weapons and equipment that Chen Yanlong stored in large quantities early in the morning.
Once these outdated weapons and ammunition were exhausted, the German army could only continue to use the weapons and equipment of the late World War II to fight.
Chen Yanlong is very worried about such a huge potential crisis.
It's just that now he can only ask Speer to try his best to integrate the natural resources of Germany, Italy, and the German army in the occupied areas of European countries to develop a large number of weapons and equipment in the later stages of World War II and produce more weapons and equipment for storage.
In order to guard against the cheats of smartphones, so that he does not have relatively new weapons and equipment to resist the counterattack of the combined armies of Britain, the United States, the Soviet Union and other countries in times of crisis.
"How are we doing now?"
"Has Kharkov been completely occupied by our army?"
"And how many reinforcements did the Soviets come?"
Colonel Sommer, commander of the 2nd Reich Armored Battle Group of the SS, asked Lieutenant Schmelzer anxiously under his command.
"The record of our battle group was to shoot down 8 Soviet aircraft, destroy 286 Soviet tanks, 11 self-propelled guns, 9 armored vehicles, destroy 40 Soviet artillery, 16 anti-aircraft guns and 14 anti-aircraft machine guns, 278 anti-tank guns, 252 anti-tank guns, and 203 anti-tank guns, 410 submachine guns ......"
"And then there's a lot of horses, and motorcycles, and communication equipment!"
"As for the current situation in Kharkov, the remnants of the Soviet army have been surrounded by us in a small area and continue to fight stubbornly!"
"If it weren't for the swiftness of Soviet fighters and bombers, I'm afraid our air force would have killed all these remnants of Soviet troops!"
"At the very least, the area where they are will be bombed into ruins by our air force!"
"In the end, the Soviet reinforcements on the outskirts of Kharkiv have at least more than 100,000 troops, and their troops are still increasing, including their tank troops and air force are also being replenished rapidly!"
Lieutenant Schmelzer, in command Colonel Sommer, replied as soon as he had finished speaking.
After listening carefully to his answer, the commander, Colonel Sommel, also frowned deeply.
And put all his attention on the fierce shelling of the concentrated fire of the Soviet army's howitzers, cannons, and heavy mortar groups in the distance, especially with the assistance of the Soviet army's Katyusha rocket artillery, the Soviet army's artillery fire covered the counterattack battle, which was simply earth-shaking and earth-shattering.
As a result, many German officers and soldiers who had no time to dodge and enter the bunkers, as well as the officers and soldiers of the German servant countries, were drowned in the dark night of the war by the terrible shells of the Soviet army, which seemed to be overwhelming, dense, and impermeable, and lost to the earth in the rumbling sound of explosions.
"Christmas Eve in 1943 is just over a month away, and Christmas Day!"
"I don't know if we can go back to China alive in such a good time!"
Then, the commander, Colonel Sommer, sighed deeply and muttered to himself with a look of fascination.
"Yes! I believe in the Führer! ”
"He will definitely end this war as soon as possible and let us live some peaceful lives!"
Lieutenant Schmelzer replied with a firm gaze and an affirmative tone.
"Hmmm! Perhaps! ”
"But we have to survive this battle!"
"Otherwise, it's all just a dream!"
The commander, Colonel Sommel, nodded slightly, his gaze suddenly frozen, and he replied sharply.
"Yes! Sir! ”
Lieutenant Schmelzer, with a sharp gaze, gave a standard SS salute and said loudly.
Then the two of them continued to transfer troops to the second round of night battles on the outskirts of Kharkov with the Soviet army.
