Everyone thought that the war was over, and the most peaceful place should be the supreme command under the Führer's own command.

Unfortunately, the situation here is busier now than it was when the war against Britain began.

Countless documents were sent here, then sorted by the secretary and officers of all ranks, and then sent to Marshal Keitel.

The Eastern Front of Germany was really a very large armed group. There were 200,000 Italian expeditionary forces here, as well as servant armies from Romania and other countries.

Coupled with the 3 million German Army units, the food consumed every day is a huge expense.

The units were also armed with various models of automobiles, equipped with a large number of horse-drawn carriages. Towing artillery, armored vehicles, assault guns, and a wide variety of tanks.

The thrifty German units, from the No. 2 tank to the state-of-the-art No. 5 Leopard tank, were still in the hands of the armoured units.

The artillery unit is equipped with a number of 150 mm howitzers modified from the chassis of the No. 2 tank, as well as the famous Chaser tank destroyer.

Of course, the most equipped are still those few things, the No. 3 assault gun, the No. 4 tank, and the Stalker tank destroyer.

It is also easy to see from here how important the tank destroyer pioneered by the Führer was, and in less than a year, it had become the backbone of German armored forces.

Because the fighting on the Western Front is over, there are countless planes to be transferred from the Western Front to the Eastern Front. Germany maintained about 5,000 aircraft of various types on the Western Front all year round, and now most of them can fly to the Eastern Front to participate in the war.

There were about 700 JU-52 transport aircraft, 1500 fighters of the F-190 family and ME-109 family, and more than 1700 JU-88 bombers and JU-87 Stuka flew to the Eastern Front.

Every day, everyone can see hordes of planes flying overhead, and the number is so large that everyone can't count them.

The number of planes on the Western Front was reduced from about 5,000 to about 1,100 at once, and it is self-evident how much power was saved in between.

Germany's inferiority of more than 3,700 planes on the Eastern Front was suddenly reversed, and the number of planes soared to a terrible number of 7,600.

Historically, Germany had about 5,000 aircraft at the time of Operation Barbarossa. Li Le is obviously much, much stronger now than in history.

First, he won the Battle of Britain, which cost him at least 1,000 planes.

Secondly, he controlled part of Britain, and the defeat of Britain allowed him to reduce the number of fighters in France, and also allowed him to draw about 500 more planes into the war.

In the end, Speer's industrial co-ordination increased Germany's production efficiency, so that Germany had a full 1,000 more aircraft to fight.

With so many aircraft, Li Le's air force combat effectiveness can definitely be described as amazing.

His planes are much more advanced than his opponents' planes that can go into the sky, and his pilots are much more powerful than his opponents' pilots.

"In order to solve the logistical supply problem of attacking the Soviet Union, we built the supply depot too far ahead...... "Keitel pointed to the map and introduced the current border situation to Li Le.

The distribution of supplies and troop composition was planned in accordance with the offensive. If you want to change to defensive mode temporarily, the losses can be even greater.

The German troops were so well suited to attack that it was too wasteful to put them on the defensive. A large number of troops are deployed at the front, and it is easy to create chaos when retreating at this time.

If the Soviets had noticed it and suddenly crossed the border and attacked, the German border would have been plunged into a desperate rout.

Li Le looked at the map, and he didn't know whether it was better for him to attack or whether it was more in line with the current situation to switch to strategic defense.

Without the history he was familiar with, he now relied entirely on his own judgment to guide the development of the Third Reich.

History has long been unrecognizable, and if Britain is still around, history still has three points of inertia. Then the moment Britain surrendered, history departed from its original trajectory and went to a fork in the road that Li Le did not know at all.

Previously, the Barbarossa plan drawn up by Li Le was completely a series of tinkering according to historical inertia.

However, this war was suddenly advanced due to the reaction of the Soviet Union and the fall of Britain, which made a series of improvements and repairs made by Li Le lose their original meaning.

"If the Barbarossa plan is executed ahead of schedule, will the results get out of control?" Li Le stared at the map and asked Keitel.

Hearing the Führer's question, Keitel was stunned for a moment. He didn't know why the question made him feel uncomfortable, but instinctively it made him feel different.

Then the German marshal realized the crux of the matter. Even before the start of the war operation to invade Britain, which was not favored by everyone, the Führer did not consult him in an inquiring tone.

Thinking of this, Keitel realized that the Führer was not sure of victory in this war, which was beyond the plan.

Immediately afterwards, the German field marshal was relieved - God forbid, who can be sure of victory in the face of such a war that will determine the fate of the world with the strength of the whole country?

"My Führer! Plan your offensive in advance, our offensive will lose momentum near Smolensk, this is something you already know. Keitel is not easy to answer, but can only say that everyone has already deduced the answer countless times.

Li Le nodded, and suddenly opened his mouth and instructed Keitel: "Then we will implement the Barbarossa plan as soon as possible, hit Smolensk, and go to Smolensk!" ”

What is this? Keitel thought to herself. Just signed the Anglo-German Armistice on March 8, and then decided to enter a state of war again on March 10?

That is, the Führer fulfilled his promise to the people of this country: defeat of Britain would usher in peace. Unfortunately, peace came, but only for two days......

What an irony, the good Führer, whom the people loved, began to brew a new war on the third day of the armistice.

However, as a marshal, Keitel's answer became: "My Führer, who has no strength to follow, will be met with a fierce counterattack." ”

"Now we have more than 700 transport planes on our hands, and more bombers to clear obstacles...... The ground propulsion will be faster, and the transportation of supplies will be a little more. Li Le was more optimistic, because he knew about the Barbarossa operation that had never happened.

Knowing that plan, when he drew up the new Barbarossa plan, he provided the staff officers with much harsher data than everyone optimistically estimated.

Many people believed that the Soviet troops were not very effective and that after losing a large number of living forces, they would be defeated and surrendered.

But Li Le knew that even if he was under Moscow, Stalin and his troops had no intention of surrendering.

Even Stalin issued an order to execute all commanders who retreated, as well as soldiers who abandoned their positions.

It was also the first time that Germany experienced the scorched earth policy in the territory of the Soviet Union, and experienced how terrible the brutal street fighting was.

"Let Brauchitsch prepare, we must launch an offensive before the Soviets attack...... Li Le and his staff Keitel actually have a consensus.

Keitel even had Brauchitsch, Guderian and Manstein, Rundstedt and Wilks all in the same mind.

Everyone agreed that it was more in line with the traditional advantages of the German army to attack first than to have an invaded righteousness.

Rather than reducing Poland or even Romania to ruins, it would be better to attack the Soviet Union and fight on the vast plains of Ukraine.

Driven by this idea, the top brass of the German army was generally willing to strike first, and Li Le was also preparing to launch the Barbarossa plan in advance with such an idea.

At this time, on the developed highways of Germany, cars were speeding one after another, and they were transporting as many supplies as possible to the front.

In the sky, transport planes are not a simple transition, they are also shouldering the task of transporting as many aerial bombs from the Western Front as possible to the Eastern Front to participate in the war.

The trail is also not peaceful, and war horses and bicycles have become the protagonists here. Tall horses and bicycles are loaded with daily necessities, as if they have suddenly transported time back to the First World War.

The busiest were along the railroad lines, where a large number of newly produced tanks were transported to the Eastern Front, and the carriages were full of recruits who were going to report to the Eastern Front.

While everyone was still celebrating the arrival of peace, the transport system of the Third Reich was at full capacity, making final preparations for a new war.

Oil transported from Libya arrived in Italy and Greece more efficiently without the threat of enemy attacks.

Countless oil products were sent to the front lines, driving Germany's most powerful panzer corps and air force units than ever before, preparing for a life-and-death battle with an equally formidable enemy.

The new Barbarossa against a plan for a major thunderstorm that may not have existed in history, with the forces hoarded on the border by both sides mobilized, and the battle seemed to be on the verge of breaking out.

"My Führer, then, when will the attack be launched?" Keitel, who knew that the matter was a foregone conclusion, asked the Führer, who was standing in front of him.

Li Le thought about it, excluding the few days when he was ready to start the war, he could only launch an attack in a week at the earliest.

So the Führer slowly opened his mouth and gave a specific date for action: "Let's set it for March 20 for the time being!" On that day, carry out the Barbarossa Plan! ”

"It was a great day! My Führer! After standing up and saluting, Keitel opened his mouth to congratulate.
