readx;?“ Lee, what do you think? ”

"Ah, that's ......"

When Li Ling heard Keitel say the reason for the argument, his whole mind was no longer in the Supreme Command, and he was now full of recalling the countless war games about the Soviet-German war he had done in the military academy before, and he needed to find the most feasible method. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The historical Barbarossa plan can be said to be a somewhat failed battle plan, but it is not entirely to blame Paulus, who made the battle plan, after all, the information obtained by Paulus at that time had made serious mistakes, and because the operation of sending troops to support Italy delayed the start of the operation, and the winter of this year came a little early, it was a little too cold, and a series of problems led to the failure of the Barbarossa plan.

But now it is different, now in the German High Command, there is a Li Ling who knows the situation at that time, and the strategic resources, weapons and equipment that Germany now has, as well as the international situation, have undergone extremely significant changes, and the seemingly impossible task of Germany to defeat the Soviet Union is becoming full of feasibility.

"Actually, I understand very well why Marshal Keitel would be so difficult to choose."

No matter what, let's send a favor first, Li Ling can obviously see the embarrassment on William Keitel's face.

"First of all, both options are actually very desirable, but they also come with a lot of risks. First of all, let's talk about the first plan to focus on attacking Leningrad and Moscow, this plan sounds very beautiful, one is the spiritual symbol of the Soviet Union, the other is the capital of the Soviet Union, as long as these two places are taken, the morale of the Soviet army will definitely suffer a great blow, and there is a great possibility that we will take Paris and London in exchange for the surrender of Britain and France. ”

Listening to Li Ling's eloquent talk, many people in the Supreme Command nodded frequently, but there were also some people who wanted to speak and stopped, because of Li Ling's identity and Heydrich's presence, they were embarrassed to interrupt Li Ling's words. However, at this time, Li Ling's words suddenly changed: "But! There is a serious problem with this plan, and we think about it according to the usual situation, but please don't forget that when Paris was first taken, the French changed the capital, and then when London was taken, Churchill happened to die there! ”

"What if we took Moscow and didn't catch Stalin? And have you ever considered that if we take Leningrad and Moscow, what is the difference between this and the Soviets taking Munich and Berlin? I ask all of you, if someone had taken down our Berlin and Munich, would you have chosen to surrender? You won't! You will definitely choose to keep fighting! Why didn't France and Britain continue to fight? Because they had already wiped out the vast majority of their troops by then, they had no hope of continuing to fight! ”

"Then you mean that the main force is right to focus on attacking Ukraine?"

Paulus knew the weight of Li Ling's words, since this person named Li Ling first appeared in the Supreme Command, almost all the opinions he put forward had been adopted, and now it sounded like Li Ling was supporting his own opinions!

"Not exactly! The war is fought against the economy, and I don't know the specific number of our current oil reserves, but I know that we can't afford to delay, and since we can't afford to drag it out, then the best way to feed the war with war is the top priority, so it is definitely good to take down Ukraine and then march into the Caucasus. But in the same way, attacking Ukraine is also a great risk, as the lifeblood of the Soviet Union, Ukraine has accumulated a large number of Soviet troops, and the absolute main force of the Soviet army is almost all there! If we can't defeat Ukraine in a short time, or if we can't quickly march into the Caucasus after defeating Ukraine, then the consequences will be very terrible! ”

"But the main forces of the Soviets did not ......"

"Li, both of these are risky, which one should you choose?"

Before Paulus could finish speaking, Heydrich opened his mouth to ask, and the Führer spoke, and Paulus dared not continue, so he had to swallow back the words that came to his lips.

"I have two ideas, these two options actually have the same risks, but the risks are relatively smaller, the first of which is that the deployment of Army Group North is weaker, and the allocation of forces between Army Group South and Army Group Center is almost the same. The main direction of attack of Army Group North was still Leningrad, but it was not a necessary target. ”

"Army Group North can directly besiege Leningrad and cut off Leningrad from the outside world, and then the main forces will bypass Leningrad and attack all the way to the east, and cooperate with Army Group Center to launch a direct attack on Moscow."

"At the same time, the combat mission of Army Group South is no longer to take down Ukraine with all its might, but to contain the main forces of the Soviet army in Ukraine, and at the same time, part of the troops will strike straight forward from the right flank of Army Group Center, cut off the connection between Moscow and Ukraine, and prevent the main forces of the Soviet army from reinforcing Moscow."

"If this plan goes well in the early stage, after taking Moscow, Army Group Center will directly bypass Ukraine and advance to the Caucasus, take the oil fields there, obtain strategic resources, and then cooperate with Army Group South to encircle and suppress the main force of the Soviet Army in Ukraine."

"This is a relatively simple plan to implement, but this plan does not allow even the slightest mistake anywhere, and when Moscow is attacked, the main force of the Soviet army will definitely desperately break through in the direction of Moscow, at this time the pressure on Army Group South is too great, but in order not to weaken the strength of Army Group Center, Army Group South cannot be strengthened, so it is not easy to implement."

The Soviet-German war is a topic that the military academy can never avoid, and his brother's plan is one of the few plans that can be won, but the probability of winning is not too high.

"What about the other option? What's the other option? ”

Keitel has been listening carefully to what Li Ling said, obviously although this plan sounds good, but Li Ling himself said that it is very risky, so will Li Ling's next plan be better?

"But the main forces of the Soviet army are not concentrated in Ukraine!"

Well, Paulus finally couldn't wait, because the premise of all the plans Li Ling said was based on the main forces of the Soviet army in Ukraine, but according to the intelligence he had, the main forces of the Soviet army were evenly distributed along the border line and were not particularly concentrated, and the combat effectiveness of the Soviets was very poor, which was not enough to compete with the German army.
