readx;?“ We should give priority to Leningrad and Moscow for the Soviets, Leningrad is the holy land of the Soviets, and the capture of Leningrad can completely destroy the will of the Soviets. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info And Moscow is the capital of the Soviet Union, and the capture of Moscow is essentially equivalent to the demise of the Soviet Union. ”

"Don't be too blindly optimistic, I think we should solve the Ukrainian region more often, first solve Ukraine, and then attack the Caucasus, directly cut off the supply of strategic materials to the Soviets, and at the same time let us get a lot of food and oil to make up for the lack of our reserves."

"As long as Moscow and Leningrad are taken, the Soviets will collapse, and a Soviet Union that has collapsed will naturally give us Ukraine and the Caucasus, and at that time the war will be over, and what else needs to be considered to cut off the supply of strategic materials to the Soviets?"

"Once the war starts, the Russians will definitely focus on defending Moscow and Leningrad, this does not need to be considered, we will fight them hard there, if they drag it out, then the situation of the war will become more and more unfavorable for us, and our oil reserves will not be enough to support us to fight a war for many years! But if we defeat Ukraine and the Caucasus, no matter what, we don't have to worry about the Russians anymore, those ** elements will only be defeat! ”

"Then according to your meaning, the Soviets will not go to defend Ukraine?"

"What will happen, we can place heavy forces in Romania, destroy the Ukrainian defenses in one fell swoop in the form of a surprise attack, directly occupy the granaries of the Russians, and then the main forces will directly attack Stalingrad, cut off Moscow from the Caucasus, and finally seize the Caucasus. By that time, the Russians are destined to hell, these lowly Slavs! ”

After happily deciding the future direction of Italy and Greece with Heydrich, the two people who had just come out of the room heard a loud noise in the conference room of the Supreme Command.

"What's going on, what's the noise?"

Heydrich hurried to the conference room in three steps and two steps, glanced at the generals and marshals who were arguing all over the room and had red faces and thick necks, in fact, he had already guessed a rough idea in his heart, and it was estimated that it was because of the formulation of the battle plan.

"Don't be angry, it's normal, we're discussing a plan to attack the Soviet Union, in fact, we've been working out this battle plan for a while, and now it's basically a prototype, but there are some differences in the specifics."

Keitel was not in the High Command just now, and he didn't know what Heydrich was doing here, but now Heydrich suddenly appeared, which embarrassed him, the person in charge.

"What disagreement? It just so happens that Lee is also here, so let's discuss it together. ”

"Oh, in that case, I'll tell the Führer and Lee about the specific situation here."

While speaking, Keitel walked to the table next to him, took out two materials and handed them to Heydrich and Li Ling, respectively, and began to introduce them.

"According to our current strategic situation, there is no threat to our west, south and north, and we can keep only a very small number of troops on the defense in all three directions, so that all the main forces and the vast majority of the reserve forces can be transferred to the eastern front, and at the same time the conscription program will be launched everywhere and the size of the army will continue to be expanded. At the same time, due to the top secret nature of the plan, the troops of the client states could not be taken into account for the time being, but we were sure that we would notify them of the war before the war began. ”

"According to the calculations of the High Command, we should be able to devote at least 160-180 divisions or even more to the war, on the air side Marshal Föckbier said that he could provide 5,000 to 6,000 aircraft for direct support, and on the naval side they want to leave a third of the fleet in the Atlantic to prevent possible instability, and the rest of the troops will be sent to the Arctic, the Mediterranean, and the Pacific to prevent the Soviets from getting help from the sea. However, Marshal Raeder feared that the fleet sent to the Pacific would be attacked by the Japanese, after all, we were at war with Japan. ”

"The forces of the ground offensive, according to our integrated ideas, are divided into three strategic clusters, which are spread out along the border line, and once the war starts, the three army groups will attack at the same time, of which the target of Army Group Center is Moscow, and the goal of Army Group North is Leningrad. When Army Group North has taken Leningrad, the main forces will continue to advance directly to the east, attacking Moscow from the flanks in conjunction with Army Group Center. The primary target of Army Group South is Ukraine, and the direction of the operation is still being discussed, and now the main idea is to attack the Caucasus after defeating Ukraine, and not to support the direction of Moscow. ”

Listening to Keitel's introduction, Heydrich and Li Ling flipped through the materials in their hands from time to time, in fact, this is only a rough battle plan, and there is no specific data on the materials in their hands.

"Now that the plan for the attack has been decided, what else is there to quarrel about?"

Heydrich wondered a little, since there was already a unified battle plan, what was there to quarrel about?

"That's right, now it's mainly about the distribution of forces, because we have three strategic clusters, and the operational goals of the three army groups are different, we can't distribute all the resources equally, so there are big differences on this issue."

"You didn't choose your main target?"

Li Ling, who had not spoken much, suddenly spoke, and sure enough, there was a debate at the top of the German army when the Barbarossa plan was formulated, but in the end the plan was finalized under Hitler's pressure, and now without Hitler, the debate will definitely not stop easily.

"Yes, the issue of debate now is on this side, General Paulus has proposed to focus the offensive on Ukraine and the Caucasus, where the granaries and oil depots of the Soviets are located, and the destruction of them will cut off the Soviets' supplies, and at the same time give us access to a large number of much-needed oil reserves. The views of General Paulus were shared by many, but half of them were in favor of giving priority to the defeat of Leningrad and Moscow, the psychological and political defeat of the Soviet Union. Both of these options were good, but we had to choose one, and it turned out to be like this."

Keitel was really depressed, and when he said it, it was like saying that he was incompetent and completely unable to integrate the opinions of his subordinates, but the problem was that there were reasons for both plans, and the number of supporters was equal, and Keitel himself didn't know how to choose.
