readx;?“ We can think about it, if the war broke out, even if their main forces were not in Ukraine at that time, but in view of the important position of Ukraine, the main forces of the Soviet army would definitely accumulate in Ukraine, there is no doubt about this, we can make a battle plan, it is impossible to only based on the available intelligence, but also to take into account the situation that will occur after the start of the war.

Li Ling couldn't say that there was a mistake in the intelligence, this kind of thing should still be communicated with the person in charge of the intelligence in private, instead of saying it directly on this occasion, and in the end he had to find such a reasonable reason.

"Actually, then again, if we want to attack the Soviet Union, do we have to directly confront the Soviet Union? In fact, we can also consider the advanced military in the Middle East, seize the rich oil resources, and then have a decisive battle with the Soviet Union, as long as there is enough oil, we can be invincible. ”

"Lee, they've asked me about this idea, but it doesn't work."

Li Ling had just proposed that he wanted to increase the weight of attacking the Soviet Union by attacking the Middle East region to seize oil, but he was immediately vetoed by Heydrich, because this set of plans had already been proposed, and the people in the Supreme Command also demonstrated it, believing that it was very feasible.

The generals thought that attacking the Middle East should be similar to attacking Poland, the Netherlands, and other countries, but when they reported this plan, Heydrich had the same attitude as today, without any consideration at all, and directly rejected it.

"If we want to attack the Middle East, the first thing we have to solve is the Turkish problem, Turkey is not very strong, and they have a very good relationship with us, and they are the only source of chrome ore in the whole of Germany. Turkey is very important to us, but the situation in Turkey is too complicated, and although they tend to follow us, they still claim to be a neutral country, and they also have British and American power in their territory. ”

"The reason why Turkey has always remained neutral is not only to seek greater benefits for itself, but also because they simply cannot choose a side, if they are on our side, then the United States will mercilessly deal with Turkey, and if they are on the side of the United States, we will also solve them."

"Now our relationship with the United States seems to be very good, but in fact, you may not know that now the United States is constantly increasing the difficulty of examination and approval of some of the arms purchase plans we have proposed, and the arms deal plans that have been approved have been always delayed for various reasons recently, and the United States is quite wary of us, and we cannot move Turkey, and it is precisely because we cannot move Turkey that it has naturally become a luxury to obtain oil from the Middle East, because the road has been completely cut off. We can't immediately tear ourselves up with the United States for the sake of Middle Eastern oil. ”

The United States is an extremely large war machine, but it has not yet fully turned, and in this case, no one wants to be the appetizer of this beast, at least at the present time when Germany's all-out war strength is not enough to confront the Soviet Union and the United States at the same time, Germany will definitely not become this bird.

If the current international situation is still the same as in history, perhaps this approach will not make the Americans immediately take sanctions against Germany, but the problem is that Britain is finished, Roosevelt will not let Germany continue to be strong, and now Germany wants to continue to develop, it must take action against the Soviet Union, and there is no other choice!

"Then go through Turkey and attack the Caucasus directly!"

Headache, before attacking the Soviet Union, first hit the Middle East, so as to obtain a large amount of oil resources, is definitely a tried and tested means, but unfortunately because Britain fought too smoothly, it is obvious that now the United States must be in it to make a stumbling block, that is to say, now Germany can only fight the Soviet Union, and it must be fought anyway!

"A direct attack on the Caucasus from Turkey? This won't work, we can't fight Turkey. ”

"Who told you to fight? Don't forget, the British are now wearing the same boots as us, and the Americans want us to attack the Soviet Union, and as for the Turks, they probably hate the Soviet Union the most, so we just need to deploy our troops in Turkey, whether it is the Americans or the Turks, if they know that our purpose is to attack the Soviet Union, then they will definitely not have any opinion, and they will keep it secret for us. ”

"But there is a more important question about this scheme, that is, when will the troops transiting from Turkey cut into the battlefield and break through to the territory of the USSR from the regions of Georgia and Armenia! In order to ensure that this force plays a large enough role, Army Group South should put on a posture of a decisive battle with the Soviets in Ukraine, leaving the main Soviet forces there as much as possible. At the same time, Army Group Center was supposed to seek a breakthrough in the direction of Moscow as quickly as possible, and then move Soviet forces in the Caucasus. As soon as the Caucasian defenders withdraw, then this force of ours can be killed! ”

This plan was not Li Ling's original plan at all, Li Ling's original plan was only to attack the Middle East, but now attacking the Middle East has become an impossible combat operation, so Li Ling's brain was wide open, and he suddenly remembered that he could go around the back of the Caucasus region through Turkey.

Although the Soviet Union had a deep hatred for Turkey, Stalin never had Turkey in his heart, and in his opinion, Turkey was not to be worried, and although Turkey was close to the Caucasus, there were not many troops there.

Moreover, in Stalin's opinion, the Germans could not directly reach the Caucasus, and if they wanted to attack the Caucasus, the Germans could only attack Ukraine first, so he would deploy a large number of troops in Ukraine and neglect the section of the state border in the Turkish direction.

"But in this case, our troops will have to be divided into four lines, so will our forces be too scattered? It is not possible to achieve absolute superiority in either direction, and this is not necessarily a good thing! ”

When Keitel heard Li Ling say that he would use Turkey, he appreciated this idea very much, but now there are only so many troops in his hands, and it was already quarrelsome to divide into three routes, and now it will be divided into four roads according to this plan.......

"Haha, I'm sure the marshal will have a way!"
