"How? Did the plan pass? The next night, as soon as Manturov returned home, Katia eagerly asked about the plans for a counter-attack on Romania. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Manturov took Katya's small white and slippery hands and said: "Don't worry, I have already reported your opinion to Stalin, and the National Defense Council, the Supreme High Command, the People's Commissariat of National Defense, and the NKVD will discuss this issue in detail." ”

"Great!" Katia was thrilled at the thought that she could change history like Manturov, "Do you think this plan will be adopted and implemented?" ”

Manturov nodded and said, "I think there is a good chance that the plan for counterattacking Romania will be adopted." Both at the meeting of the Supreme High Command and in the memories of the People's Commissariat of Defense, those present, including Stalin, gave a good assessment of your proposal. ”

"What's a 'nice review'?"

"Everyone agreed that the plan for a counter-offensive against Romania was of great strategic value.

If we succeed in controlling Romania, or if Romania is transferred to our front, it will cut off the oil supply guarantee for Germany and even the entire Axis bloc, and will greatly weaken the German army's mobile combat capability and logistical supply efficiency, which can weaken the strength of the German army to a certain extent, and reduce the difficulty of our counterattack in other areas in the future. ”

"Since everyone has a good opinion of this plan, it seems that this plan is likely to be adopted, and I hope we can succeed." Katia smiled confidently, looking determined to win. This smile, this look, reminded Manturov of another woman.

I remember a year and a half ago, in the conference room of the Ministry of Petroleum Industry, the then second secretary of the Tyumen City Party Committee, Veronica Ustnova, also smiled like this. In order to fight for an oil pipeline plan, Veronica had a "big fight" with Manturov at the conference table, and as a result, Manturov, who had always been "invincible", actually lost to a woman.

The so-called "don't fight, don't know each other", after this battle, Veronica's image as a strong woman has been deeply implanted in Manturov's mind. That cold and flamboyant temperament, that shrewd and flexible mind, now seems to be able to be found in Katia's body.

"Volodya, what's wrong with you?" Katia noticed that Manturov's eyes were a little strange, with a hint of surprise and a hint of suspicion in those dark brown eyes.

"It's nothing, I find that you are getting more mature and smarter." Manturov looked at Katia's angelic face, and in those beautiful eyes, there was a strong gaze, but in addition to being strong, there was also a hint of tenderness.

Hearing Manturov's appreciation, Katia was both happy and a little uneasy in her heart. She didn't know if Manturov liked who he was.

In fact, Manturov is quite happy about Katia's changes. Only by becoming smart and strong will she be able to gain a foothold in the sinister Moscow power arena and "survive" in the brutal power struggle of the future.

"Volodya, you'll love me no matter what I become, won't you?"

Manturov sat beside Katya, put one hand around Katya's thin waist, and the other hand dragged her chin, kissed her, and said: "Of course, no matter what you become, as long as you are still my Katyusha, as long as you still have me in your heart, I will love you deeply." ”

"That's good." Katia's eyes began to exude a charming look. Those beautiful black pearl-like eyes, like magnets, attracted Manturov's heart.

Katya's gaze ignited the fire of love in Manturov's heart. His whole body was hot and uncontrollably kissed Katya's soft lips.

"Report to the Führer, our reconnaissance unit has found that the Soviets are massing forces and mobilizing strategic resources in the vicinity of Ukraine, and it is estimated that they are preparing to launch an attack on us in the vicinity of Ukraine."

When the Soviet Red Army began to mobilize troops to prepare for a counteroffensive against Romania, German scouts quickly discovered the large-scale movement of Soviet troops and reported the situation to Army Group South and the Supreme High Command in a timely manner.

Although the Germans discovered the large-scale movement of Soviet troops, they did not guess the true intentions of the Soviets. After the analysis of the headquarters of Army Group South and the General Staff of the Wehrmacht, everyone came to an erroneous conclusion - the Soviet army was going to counterattack western Ukraine.

Before the war, Western Ukraine was originally part of the territory of the Soviet Union. It is rich in grain production, and it also has a certain industrial base, which has a certain strategic value. In addition, the German army there has a small number of troops, and the Soviet army has an absolute superiority in strength, once the Soviet army concentrates superior forces to launch a counteroffensive, the German army with inferior forces may not be able to parry.

After a round of analysis, coupled with the relevant "intelligence" they obtained (in fact, it was deliberately released by the Soviet strategic fools), the German officers had reached a consensus on this issue and made the wrong conclusion, everyone believed that the Soviet army was going to launch a counteroffensive in the area of western Ukraine and recover the territory of western Ukraine.

No one thought that these large-scale movements "against Western Ukraine" were actually a suspicious ploy of the Soviet Red Army in order to divert the attention of the Germans and make them mistakenly believe that the Soviet Army was going to launch a counteroffensive against Western Ukraine.

Otherwise, the Soviet Air Force, which had already gained air supremacy, would not have put German reconnaissance planes into the defense zone of the Southwestern Front, so that the Germans could discover this strategic (flickering) operation.

"What?" When Hitler heard the news, he put down the newspaper in his hand, "The Soviets are actually going to launch a counteroffensive?" ”

For Hitler, although the course of the war was not as ideal, and the three major armies suffered setbacks, paid many costs, and suffered many casualties, he did not think that the Soviet army had the conditions to counterattack the German army.

"This ...... We can't be 100% sure. The chief of the German General Staff, Franz Halder, handed over the relevant documents and reports, saying: "But according to the current situation, there is a high probability that the Soviets will launch a counteroffensive in western Ukraine."

After the Battle of Brody, the main armored forces of Army Group South suffered great losses, and at present the Soviet army has a superiority in strength and air superiority in the area of western Ukraine.

If they launch a counteroffensive in the western Ukraine area, the 6th and 17th armies, which lack troops and have no advantages in equipment and air supremacy, as well as the reorganized 1st tank group, will be difficult to stop their attack.

The current situation is very favorable to the Soviets, and it is believed that they will seize the existing advantage and launch a counteroffensive in the western Ukraine area before our Army Group South is strengthened. ”

Hitler read the report handed by Halder and believed the statement that "the Soviets are going to counterattack Western Ukraine", and made corresponding arrangements.

In this way, the Soviet Red Army succeeded in carrying out a strategic manoeuvre against the German army. Next, the show begins.
