The blitzkrieg against the Soviet Union was Germany's established strategy at this stage, and all Keitel had to do was to urge the army to complete the Führer's plan as much as possible.

In fact, the strategy of step-by-step is also very good, but it cannot give full play to the offensive advantages of the German army, and can only passively rely on the annihilation of the Soviet army to consolidate its victory.

Li Le hoped that a quick attack could quickly end the war with the Soviet Union.

Although his ideas were similar to Hitler's, he was more rational than Hitler in that he did not have the madness of saddling the front-line troops with two strategic objectives at the same time.

In the early stage, he only wanted to capture Moscow quickly, and would not have too strong attempts at the Caucasus.

In this way, he can save about two months of time, and he can seize the strategic goal of occupying Moscow before winter comes.

In the real world, Germany wants the oil fields of the Caucasus and Moscow. The end result was that neither goal was accomplished, and in the end had to face the defeat of Moscow and the defeat of Stalingrad.

Now Li Le is ready to concentrate his strength and work towards a goal. In this way, he will be more confident that he will accomplish one of the strategic goals, and then sit back and wait for the subsequent response of the Soviet Union.

"I have told Field Marshal Brauchitsch of your order to attack Leningrad, and I think the army will soon launch a new offensive......" Keitel said, looking at Li Le.

Li Le nodded and ended the conversation this time: "When you are ready, start attacking." If there is an opportunity in the south, it can also be tentative in the direction of Kyiv. But don't be too forced, the main direction of attack is Moscow's decision, which cannot be shaken. ”

"Yes! My Führer! Keitel saluted, then turned and walked out of the Führer's wolf's den office.

After Keitel left, Bowman, as the Führer's chief secretary, walked into the Führer's office in the Wolf's Lair.

He stood at the door and reported to Li Le: "My Führer, Subass of India? Chandra? Mr. Bowes arrived in Italy yesterday ......"

Speaking of this Indian, Li Le still knows a lot about him. He first came to Germany, and then to Japan, where he became a puppet of Japan, organizing the Indian National Army in Burma and other regions to help Japan fight.

Strangely enough, in order to trap the British, Japan agreed to all the demands of Bose for the restoration of India, making this man one of the important figures in the Indian independence movement.

His photograph sits in front of the Indian Parliament building, along with Gandhi and Jawaharlal Nehru. It can be regarded as the most famous of the Axis groups in history.

Speaking of this person, we have to say that Japan's strategy in Southeast Asia has been successful: as soon as the slogan of the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere was shouted, under the banner of helping Asian brothers, Japan really deceived the support of many locals.

Unlike China, a sovereign state, Southeast Asia was mostly an imperialist colony at that time, with no sovereign interests of its own.

Under such a premise, the Japanese invasion of Southeast Asia could simply be whitewashed as a friendly war for the liberation of the colonies.

As for the locals, sovereignty is not in their own hands anyway, and the change from Zhang San to Li Si, from Britain, France, and the United States to Japan, does not have any essential impact on their current situation.

In fact, the Japanese did exactly that, and they plundered only natural resources in these semi-barren countries that had no resistance and no claim to sovereignty, which greatly reduced the resistance of the local people.

For a long time, it was against this backdrop that the hatred of Southeast Asian countries towards Japan was not unforgettable, and half of the puppet leaders that Japan had cultivated in these places became the leaders of the so-called independence movement after the war.

This is why Bose took refuge with the Japanese, but later became a hero in India.

Now, the radical anti-British, having discovered that Germany was stronger than it was in history, came to Germany at an even faster pace to seek support from the Third Reich for his demands for Indian independence.

It's a pity that Li Le, or the current Germany, is really a little out of reach and not interested in distant India.

In Li Le's plan, unless Germany could occupy the Middle East smoothly and without hindrance, it should not reach out to India.

Rootless expansion would eventually lead to the collapse of Germany, but would not reap any real benefits.

On the other hand, Bose, the leader of the anti-British Indian independence movement, was not the ideal person for Germany to cooperate.

The current anti-British person will be an even more fierce anti-German person in the future, and it is more appropriate to support such a person than to temporarily support a puppet when the water is a matter of course.

"He's really here......" Li Le certainly knew such a character when he was studying the history of World War II.

Historically, however, he arrived in Germany in April 1941, and it was only the end of March.

Li Le, the wings instigated by the huge butterfly, and the huge storm rolled up, made Bose, a "little person" who had nothing to do with the situation in World War II, also change the original trajectory of action.

To say that Bose is a small person, maybe India will have a different opinion. However, in the entire history of World War II, the leader of a puppet regime like Bose really did not play any positive or negative role.

With the help of the Japanese, the so-called Indian National Army, which he founded, did not play any role in influencing the tide of the war, although it participated in the battle.

And throughout the war, he was in a state of soy sauce except for one attack after following the Japanese.

It is true that because he did not even contribute to the Axis powers, he was able to be enshrined by the Indians as the leader of the independence movement......

It's really chilling to say, a person is recognized as a good person because his ability level is not enough......

"Let the idle and boring aristocratic bureaucrats accompany him, whether it's visiting the wheat fields on the outskirts of Berlin or going to Holland to see the cows...... In short, just don't get down to business. Li Le gave Bowman such an order.

In the more than half a year he has passed, he has not done nothing to consolidate his rule. He squeezed out several bureaucrats from the Junker aristocratic faction and sent them to inconsequential retirement positions.

In order to balance the grievances of these people, he took out some benefits and transitioned the stage of power transfer relatively peacefully.

Some people didn't buy it, and he labeled him as a secret collaborator with Britain, or completely eliminated it by purging Himmler.

And some people are very cooperative, so they can stay and enjoy the glory and wealth, but they can no longer touch the real power.

With sticks and carrots echoing each other, Li Le rejuvenated the German bureaucracy and stopped being as rotten as it had been.

The idle and boring people he talks about are the Junker aristocrats who have handed over their power in peace.

Now that Bose has traveled thousands of miles to Germany, Li Le hopes to let these nobles accompany Bose to do his big dream of Spring and Autumn Festival.

Of course, at the right opportunity, Li Le will send this Mr. Bowes to Japan, as in history, as a great gift, in exchange for something practical.

Japan cares more about India than Germany, because according to historical development, even if it has been changed too much by Li Le, it is still very likely that the Japanese army will achieve a series of victories in Asia.

When Japan takes over Southeast Asia, it will naturally set its sights on India. At that time, one Bose might be able to get a lot of what Germany needed from Japan.

Among other things, it was much safer and more convenient to send submarines from Southeast Asian ports to transport much-needed rubber to Germany than it had historically been.

From Burma, bypassing India to the Red Sea, and passing through the German-controlled Suez Canal, you can reach the Mediterranean Sea – which is not far away.

Let a fleet go south through the Suez Canal and find a way to annihilate the British Pacific Fleet, and Germany can steadily obtain rubber resources from Japan.

What an enticing future, for the Third Reich, it was just a very, very small move.

After all, a huge British fleet has already been defeated, and another defeat of the Indian Ocean Fleet, which has only two battleships and one aircraft carrier, is not a problem at all.

"If Bose mentions that we should help him with the Indian independence movement, let the idlers keep their mouths shut...... You write a memo about this matter, and cold treatment is our basic principle. Li Le instructed Bowman.

Li Le scoffed at this so-called Indian national hero. As a standard World War II military fan, he has little affection for anyone who defects to the Japanese forces.

This is a national sentiment that has long been carved into the bones of the soul and does not change over time.

Of course, another reason is that even if there is no relationship with Japan, which Li Le hates, the impression left by the country of India itself is only that self-defense counterattack.

Li Le has no good impression of any country that has provoked China, so he does not have any good impression of India's heroes.

He didn't like this Bose, and he didn't have any value worth investing in. Japan has proven with history that this man does not have the skills and ability to influence the situation in India.

Exchanging the minimum price for the greatest benefit is the value of Boss's existence. As for the time-consuming and laborious efforts to help India become independent, it was not in the fundamental interests of the Third Reich.

Compared with this option, Li Le is more willing to sell him to Japan, sell him at a good price, and then let Japan pry into India's corner, stand aside by himself, wait for Bose to disturb India, and then pick up the cheap in a low-key manner.
