1216 winter armistice
It was a meeting of the German leadership, which is rarely the case when they gather together to return to Berlin from all over the country for a meeting.
"The Führer has arrived!" Pushing open the door, Bowman, as the Führer's secretary, was the first to enter the room. Behind him, the doorman sang loudly.
All the top leaders of the Third Reich, the high-ranking and powerful people in the Nationalist Party, stood up at this time and looked in the direction of the door.
The Führer walked in with his left hand behind his back and his head held high, and he was now very optimistic, because the fate of Germany had been completely changed by him.
"Hey! Hitler! All these great men, who were incomparably noble in front of men, raised their arms at this time, and immediately shouted out in the most reverent tone the greeting they had to shout.
These men who would become outstanding talents in any country in the world all saluted to a person who was worthy of their followers and worthy of their admiration.
The Führer walked into the room, did not speak, but casually raised his right hand, returned a salute and walked to his place.
Everyone withdrew their arms and waited for the Führer to sit in the position of the leader, and they were still standing.
"Sit down!" After sitting on his chair, Li Le stretched out his hands, pressed them down, and commanded.
It was only then that everyone sat back in their seats, and then turned their heads sideways, waiting for the Führer to speak.
"Ladies and gentlemen, we have achieved great things in the past six months." Li Le sat in his place and said slowly.
As he spoke, he looked at the capable subordinates in front of him: "Seeing that winter is coming, there are still a lot of things we need to do." ”
"We must increase investment in agriculture and stabilize the people's food supply ......" When he said this, Li Le's eyes looked at Hess, who was sitting beside him.
Without waiting for Hess to speak, and without waiting for Hess to speak, Li Le continued: "We also need to increase our efforts in industry to produce enough equipment and products for our use!" ”
"This is the foundation of our people's support, and this is what we must do to control this country!" Li Le didn't talk nonsense, and went straight to the topic.
"Let the people have jobs and food, this is the most basic requirement of our governance! Let them be rich and live a better life, is our ideal! He didn't speak very quickly, but he spoke firmly.
"Improving productivity, making more technology accessible to civilian use, and making our people feel that their living standards are improving, is the most important thing we have to do next!" He emphasized the focus of his work, and Hess had a smile on his face.
For Hess, the center of gravity of the empire shifted from war to production, and his position as deputy head of state was naturally higher than that of Imperial Field Marshal Goering.
What the Führer said next did go according to what he had in mind. I only heard the Führer pause and continued: "War is to gain space for our country to survive, so war is only our tool, not our ultimate goal!" ”
"We wage war because our enemies don't let us take our destiny into our hands! They humiliate us and force us to sign unequal treaties, which are not right and unfair to the German people! So we need to overthrow these inequalities and defeat the enemies who stand in our way! He gushed to everyone in the room.
When it came to excitement, he even waved his arms. Hitler's speeches were very inspiring, which has something to do with the fact that he often used body language when he spoke.
His speeches often infect those around them, making them cheer, believe what he says, follow his inspiration, and become his followers.
"Our ultimate goal is to make people's lives better and safer, no longer threatened by other countries, no longer harassed by enemies!" At this point, he paused and looked at his men.
Then, he ended his foreshadowing with two sentences: "Whatever we do, we must be people-centered!" That's what we do, and that's why the people chose us to represent them! ”
"There's a lot to do before winter comes." Speaking of the following work, everyone was focused.
Compared with the previous incentives and slogans, this is what everyone needs to do next, and everyone must find what they should do in these orders.
"First of all, it is to consolidate the defense on the Eastern Front, which is a very important job!" As he spoke of this, he looked at Brauchitsch, who was sitting next to Goering.
"My marshal! According to the plan, we should build defenses on the Eastern Front, lay out defenses, and prevent all counterattacks by the Soviet army in the future! ”
"Yes! My Führer! Brauchitsch immediately replied: "The army is ready, we are in high spirits, and victory belongs to Germany!" ”
"Excellent! Before the onset of winter, all offensive missions will be canceled, and the troops will use the city as a defensive fulcrum to survive the winter safely. Li Le nodded and spoke.
"My Führer, according to such winter preparations, there is no problem with soldiers and weapons and equipment to keep out the cold, but I am afraid that the Soviets will turn to a counteroffensive in winter." Brauchitsch reminded with some concern.
He glanced at the Führer, who was sitting at the top, and continued his speech: "It is possible that the other side will take the opportunity to tear our defense line in the field battle and surround the city where our army is stationed for the winter. ”
"I've also thought about what you said." Li Le said with a smile: "Answer me, my marshal, don't my soldiers already know how to fight defensive battles?" ”
"Of course not, we will use the most resolute defense to deal with the enemy's counterattack!" Brauchitsch replied.
In fact, the Soviet army will not besiege the cities garrisoned by the German army during the winter counterattack, which will only allow the German army to deal with it calmly, and the deployment of troops will give the Soviet army a head-on blow.
Rather than attacking cities, the Soviets preferred to advance in the field where the Germans were weak, and the threat was more deadly.
Therefore, whether the Soviet army could break through the German field defense line or not, the threat to the German-occupied cities was not great.
What's more, it is unknown whether the Soviet side has a plan to fight back before using this winter to recover.
"So! All the battle plans of 1941 can be stopped, we give the soldiers a Christmas, and then prepare for an even greater victory in 1942! Li Le finally announced the order for a winter truce.
