"That's it! According to my intelligence officers, the Soviets were not ready to attack until May 1941. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info" Li Le interrupted everyone's exhortation and opened his mouth to give his own judgment.

He firmly believed that the Soviets could not immediately attack Germany, because in the other world, until June 22, 1941, when Germany launched an attack on the Soviet Union, the Soviet side was not ready to attack Germany.

"But the Führer, just by virtue of your spy force...... Isn't it a bit ...... to make such an important judgment?" Hess looked at the Führer not far away, and felt that he could not make such a hasty judgment.

Brauchitsch also felt that it was an unwise choice for the German Army to rashly provoke such a behemoth as the Soviet Union without being prepared.

Although in the eyes of many high-ranking German generals, the actual combat power of the Soviet Union was similar to that of Tsarist Russia, and it was not an opponent of the German Army at all.

Even with this idea, the German Army was reluctant to immediately launch combat operations against the Soviet Union, hoping that the conflict would drag on beyond March 1941.

In the process, Germany needed to use the conflict in the Balkans to train its ranks, and it also needed to stock up on enough oil and other strategic materials.

You know, compared to Germany in another time and space, Germany now does not seem to have many problems, but in fact there are many of them.

First of all, the air raids on the British mainland are larger and use more oil reserves. Although the results were more brilliant, the Air Force also had a much higher reserve of high-quality fuel than it did in history.

Secondly, the German Navy is also consuming a large amount of diesel reserves, compared with the German Navy in the same period in history, the current German Navy warships and aircraft are more, and the number of fuel consumption is naturally more.

Finally, the modernization of the German Army, which allowed the German Army to equip it with more trucks and more tanks. These devices made the German Army look more powerful and at the same time made it more fuel-efficient.

In any case, the cost of the three German armies being stronger than at the same time in history is that these troops are depleting fuel reserves faster than in history.

In other words, while strengthening the German army, Li Le paid the price that Germany's oil reserves were depleted faster than ever before! In this situation, Germany has begun to use its oil reserves on a large scale.

The country's strategic oil reserves have decreased sharply, and although everyone is stimulated by the good news of the Libyan oil fields, they do not say anything on the surface, but in fact they are extremely worried.

It's like people used to spend the savings they have accumulated, but now they spend bank loans -- the feeling of uncertainty, especially when this feeling comes from the national level, you can imagine the great pressure.

It is precisely because Germany's oil reserves are now in a state of being overwhelmed that everyone is reluctant to talk about the war against the Soviet Union anymore......

In fact, it is not difficult to understand the thinking of the army, they hope to see the day when the Libyan oil fields continue to supply oil, so that they can confidently and boldly plan a decisive battle with the Soviet Union.

And the decisive battle had to be premised on a German attack, because Germany did not want the Soviets to take the lead - that would be an absolute disaster for Germany's resources and environment.

Why? Because if the Soviet Union was the first to attack, then the main direction of attack chosen, the eight achievements, would be Romania, not Poland, which was controlled by Germany......

In this case, Soviet bombers could easily rush over Romania and destroy Romanian oil facilities.

The German army leadership, which tried to avoid such a scenario, felt that it was possible to protect the absolute safety of the Romanian oil fields only in the event of a preemptive attack.

Therefore, the battle plan given to the Supreme High Command by the General Headquarters of the German Army was far more thought about in the "Barbarossa Plan", which was the first to attack, than in the defense plan.

In this context, Brauchitsch could only follow Hess and speak: "My Führer, although the strength of your intelligence department is obvious to all. But ......"

He couldn't help but say that, because he himself was skeptical of Li Le's intelligence department's conclusions.

Although the Führer arranged a ghost-like "shadow" of intelligence officers in Britain, that can only be described as a coincidence. Brauchitsch was not convinced that Li Le was able to lay down such a powerful spy in Britain and at the same time plant such a seed in the Soviet leadership.

How many years in advance does this have to be laid out, and how much endurance and persistence does it take to be able to complete such an amazing intelligence work?

It was for this reason that Brauchitsch believed that the Führer's intelligence services could not have known as much about the Soviet Union as they did about Britain.

Though...... German intelligence had already obtained drawings and parameters of the new Soviet weapons, as well as a host of other classified information...... But Brauchitsch still felt that it was too hasty to make a judgment at the level of national strategy, relying only on the intelligence of spies.

"My Führer, even if the Soviets were not ready, we were not ready. In this case, if the opponent really attacks, we will also fall into passivity. Ribbentrop said anxiously.

For the same reason, Ribbentrop did not quite support Li Le's judgment. As a diplomat, he prefers to believe in the changing international situation and the complex and volatile relations between countries.

In Ribbentrop's view, it is quite possible that the Soviet Union, unprepared, would be the first to attack Germany. Because at a time like this, Germany itself is not ready for all-out war.

Moreover, robbing while the fire is hot has always been the favorite thing for the Soviets to do, and they often made this disgusting choice during the Tsarist period.

At the moment, Germany was at war with Britain, and the focus of the attack, at least to the outside world, was set in the Suez Canal region of North Africa - at this time, it was possible that the Soviets would be irrational and trigger a border conflict.

At least in the eyes of German diplomats such as Ribbentrop, the alliance between Britain and the Soviet Union seemed to be the most unfavorable situation for Germany at the moment, and Germany should try to avoid it.

But...... In Li Le's opinion...... Will the USSR be the first to attack? If the Soviet Union really took the lead in attacking, Li Le felt that he might wake up laughing from his dream. You must know that in the war of Tsarist Russia's foreign expansion, there were many previous defeats.

Even opponents of the level of Finland and Poland could not be beaten, not to mention that the Soviet Union took the initiative to provoke Germany.

Once Germany grasps the righteousness of counter-aggression, it is really difficult to say what the Soviet-German war will look like.

As for the issue of Romania's oil production capacity, Li Le felt that as long as the focus of defense was placed there, the Soviet Union was not given a chance to take advantage of it, and it could still be done.

"Gentlemen, everyone knows how accurate my intelligence is there." Li Le said as he looked at his men, his gaze sweeping over the faces of many people.

As he spoke, he stood up, pressed his hands on the table, and spoke in a slow but unmistakable tone: "The Soviet Union, it is impossible to start a war before May 1941!" ”

Hearing that the Führer was so determined, Goering was the first to express his support, on the one hand, he was only a supporting role in the affairs of the Eastern Front, and on the other hand, he had really seen the power of shadow intelligence.

The pervasiveness of the shadow in Britain is the guarantee that the Luftwaffe is now sweeping through the south-eastern part of England. Goering was accustomed to acting under the guidance of shadows, so he trusted the intelligence agency that had never gone wrong until now.

Goering looked at Admiral Raeder beside him, smiled and said: "I believe that the strategic judgment of the Führer is the foundation of our victory, and it is also the guarantee for us to get to where we are today and achieve brilliant achievements!" We have no reason to question it, do we? ”

"The Navy has always supported all the decisions of the Führer." Raeder felt the Führer's gaze and hurriedly spoke.

Brauchitsch almost spat Raeder in the face - the Führer's order to the Navy was to train in the Baltic Sea fishponds, and of course you support such a decision!

Yuan first told me that I don't have to fight, I can train at home, and if I have enough equipment, I will support it, okay? My whole family supports it!

Hess also knew that at this kind of meeting, Hitler had already given him enough "face" to come to him, and if he said anything more, he might not have the opportunity to attend the Supreme Command meeting in the future.

Saddened that his persuasion had not worked for two seconds, Hess opened his mouth and said to Li Le: "My Führer, I support your decision!" Germany is great because of you! ”

You see, things immediately became very simple - the Air Force and Navy chose to believe in the Führer, and the Deputy Führer expressed his support, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Army immediately became weak.

Li Le also knew that now was not the time to make a full face-to-face with the Soviet Union, so he opened his mouth to appease Ribbentrop and said: "Diplomatic matters are still based on communication!" Let the Soviets understand that we will not easily intervene in the Iranian region and will safeguard the interests of the USSR in the Middle East! ”

Although he knew that this kind of guarantee was not even worth a penny, Ribbentrop could only keep his mouth shut at this time, even if he had obtained the direction and focus of diplomatic work.

Then, Li Le looked at Marshal Brauchitsch: "On the army side, we must also be fully prepared, if there is any need, submit it to me immediately, and I will coordinate as much as possible to strengthen the garrison on the Eastern Front......"

Finally, the Führer looked at Goering: "Create an anti-aircraft radar system in Romania, deploy anti-aircraft guns and strengthen the number of aircraft, especially at night!" I need to make sure that the Romanian oil fields are absolutely safe! Absolute! Got it? ”
