Chapter 1116: The Hope of Victory (Gal. 8)
"Come on, comrades!" The female soldiers of the propaganda shouted from the side, but the four people carried a heavy machine gun and trotted all the way forward, in this case, who could be happy?
Although the weather was still very cold, the soldiers' backs were sweating, and their physical strength was already overdrawn.
Army Commander Rokossovsky was also anxious, he knew that the front line was in a state of fierce stalemate at this time, and his troops had to rush to the front line on time!
"Let the tank troops speed up." The infantry could not advance quickly, so they had to let the tank units go up first.
Far north, Finland.
The war between Finland and the Soviet Union continued, and the Soviets had not been able to capture the Finnish capital until now due to the continuous support of Germany, but recently, the Soviets had fought more than 100 kilometers away from the capital.
Now, Finland finally sees hope of victory.
"Now we must immediately launch a counteroffensive against the Soviet Union and completely expel the Soviet troops on our territory!" Marshal Carl Gustav Emile Mannerheim, speaking with interest on the train.
Due to the continuous attacks of the Soviets, the Finnish capital was also unsafe, and in order not to be killed in the sneak attack of the Soviets, the Finnish command structure was set up on a train.
This is a special train for Marshal Mannerheim, many times, the president is with Mannerheim, they move back and forth on the railway line in Finland, so that the enemy cannot find their whereabouts, and at the same time, they can command the army to fight.
From the outside, this special train is no different from a regular train, but it has a variety of living rooms, study rooms, kitchens, meeting rooms and guest rooms.
Now, the train is stationed in the city of Mikkeli in southeastern Finland.
President Kayander is also elated, Finland has been resisting the invasion of the Soviets, and until now, the Soviet Union has not succeeded, but Finland has also suffered huge losses, it can be said that the whole country of Finland is already full of holes, and the national strength is almost exhausted, after all, there are not many people in Finland, and it is really not fought.
Without the support of Germany behind them, Finland would have surrendered long ago, unable to hold on.
And now, the hope of victory can finally be seen.
"Marshal Mannerheim, are you pursuing this?" Hearing Mannerheim's words, General Loeb on the side said dissatisfied.
General Loeb, a German military adviser and commander of volunteers from all over the world, had nothing to do with Berlin on the surface, but in fact, Loeb represented Germany.
Loeb was a straight soldier, and from a personal point of view, he did not want Germany and the Soviet Union to enter a state of war, but when the war really came, he knew that he had to make a choice, and he must not drag the motherland back.
So, he had to convince the Finns.
Only planning to regain lost ground? This is certainly not enough!
Hearing Loeb's words, the smile on Mannerheim's face froze: "Your Excellency, what do you think?" β
"Treat the enemy as ruthlessly as winter, don't let them have any chance to fight back, if you only plan to expel the jackals from your house, then the jackals will come again at any time, the best way is to chase them to the wolf's den and kill them all!" Loeb said quite directly: "Expelling only the Soviets from the territory of Finland, Your Excellency Marshal, how can you be so naΓ―ve." β
Historically, Finland has been a white-eyed wolf, just like Spain.
Germany also helped in the war between Finland and the Soviet Union, but when the war between Germany and the Soviet Union began, the Finns remained neutral.
During World War II, Mannerheim also repeatedly refused to assist Germany in attacking the Soviet Union, and limited the war to defending its sovereignty and independence and recovering the lands occupied by the Soviet Union. This move did not lead to a deep hatred of the Soviet Union, but also avoided a direct conflict with Germany.
Although objectively, Finland's war against the Soviet Union helped Germany and left Hitler speechless, in fact, Finland's precious soldiers who were familiar with winter operations did not cause much damage to the Soviet Union.
Now, of course, Ciric will not watch such a thing happen, Germany has helped Finland so much, and the Finns are still going to stay out of it? In this world, personal debt is the most difficult to repay!
Hearing Loeb's words, President Cayandel was also embarrassed, his lips squirmed a few times, and finally spoke: "In the past few years, our Finland has also been beaten very lightly, we have killed tens of thousands of people in battle, we really have no ability to continue to attack the Soviet Union, our Finland is a small country, without fighting!" β
"Mr. President, this idea of yours is not right." Behind Loeb, the commander of the Air Force of the Volunteer Army, a blonde and blue-eyed authentic American, of British descent, who has now faithfully followed the Empire, spoke: "If you want to make up for the losses of Finland, there is only one way, seize the land of the Soviets, grab their food, all kinds of resources, and Finland can recover." β
"If it is only to recover Finnish territory, then Finland will not gain anything in the next war against the Soviet Union." Loeb supported Bruce's words: "No matter whether the Soviet Union surrenders or is destroyed, the wealth in the treasury of the Soviet Union, the resources of the entire Soviet Union, will not give Finland anything, and if Finland wants to be content with the status quo, we in Germany will not pursue it." β
Although Loeb said that he would not be held accountable, the dissatisfaction in his words was already clear.
Finland continued to send troops to attack the Soviet Union, and in the process of partitioning the Soviet Union, it would gain enough benefits, or Finland would simply drive out the invaders, but Germany would certainly not give Finland any more support.
In this world, if you annoy Germany, Finland will not end well, needless to say, as long as Germany has a look, other countries will no longer trade with Finland, and Finland will be trapped in the cold north.
Unlike later generations, Finland today has no choice at all!
"Now, under the attack of our German army, the Soviet Union will definitely be defeated, and take advantage of this opportunity to expand Finland and build it into your own ideal Great Finland, isn't that good?" Bruce continued to egg.
Great Finland is the idea of all Finns, to pull the compatriots of the Ural nationalities on the territory of the USSR opposite to their own big family.
Now, hearing this, finally, both of them are not calm.
"Well, when we drive out the invaders, we can continue to fight for the liberation of our fellow Ural people." Mannerheim said.
