Chapter 1199: Further Blows (Eighth Update)

"Your Majesty, it's too dangerous here, please leave!" Qin Tian's chief of guard, Major General Xi Mengde, looked worried.

Qin Tian nodded, not stubborn, and left the window of the office.

The chief of the guard, Major General Hymond, hurriedly lowered the curtains.

Although, the defense of the Imperial Palace and even the entire Berlin was raised several levels after the outbreak of the war, ensuring the safety of the Imperial Emperor Qin Tian. Although the commanding heights around the palace are already under the control of the Praetorian Guard. There are also a large number of security forces and agents in the city of Berlin, searching for any potential enemy traces.

However, it is impossible to be too careful at this critical juncture.

Anyone knew Qin Tian's position in the German Empire, and even Crown Prince Friedrich was almost 29 years old and began to learn to handle the affairs of the empire. However, whether in terms of ability or reputation, Friedrich is obviously incomparable to Qin Tian. Therefore, Qin Tian is still the indispensable leader of the German Empire. If he had any strengths and weaknesses, it would have dealt a fatal blow to Germany and the ongoing war.

Perhaps it was precisely for this reason that Germany's hostile countries were trying to assassinate Qin Tian. Even in the Imperial Palace, it has been attacked many times. Qin Tian's office was often threatened by sniper rifles. Especially after Burussia suffered heavy losses on the battlefield, Joseph even asked Burussia's NKVD to send agents to assassinate Qin Tian. In Joseph's opinion, if Qin Tian can be killed, perhaps the crisis in Burussia can be resolved.

It's just that as the emperor of the world, if the others were so good at assassination, he probably wouldn't know how many times he had died. Bu's intelligence organization in Germany had organized no less than ten assassinations of Qin Tian before and after. However, in the end, it still did not succeed, but instead led to the elimination of many elite Russian agents. The intelligence network that took many years to build in Russia was also shattered by the German security services. Although it has not been completely destroyed, it is already scattered and does not play much role.

"The ministers have arrived, right?" Leaving the window, although Qin Tian was a little regretful, he knew that Major General Ximond was doing this for his good.

"It's already here, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived." Major General Hymond replied.

Qin Tian nodded, then left the office and headed to the conference room.

Although, it is now a cold winter, and the weather is very cold. However, although Germany's large-scale military operations have stopped, it does not mean that Germany's strikes on Bu-Russia have also stopped. Because of the weather, the ground forces could not be dispatched. However, the rest of the forces will not let go of this good opportunity. The German High Command also hopes to take advantage of this opportunity to further damage the war potential of the Russian Federation and prepare for the coming spring. After all, the German* military also regarded 1940 as the most critical year.

When Qin Tian entered the conference room, the military and political ministers of the empire stood up one after another to say hello.

"Everyone, please be seated!" Qin Tian glanced at everyone and did his position.

After Qin Tian took his seat, the others sat down. Crown Prince Friedrich sat next to Qin Tian, and on either side of the long table were the ministers of the Imperial Military and Cabinet.

"Ladies and gentlemen, it is a pity that the Russian winter offensive has come to an end, and we have only eliminated hundreds of thousands of Russians, far from achieving our expected goal. It seems that Joseph and other Russian generals are not fools! Qin Tian looked sorry. Originally, he thought that he could at least take this opportunity to deal with millions of Russian troops. But now it seems that he is still too optimistic.

"Yes, Your Majesty. According to what we have learned, Zhukov, who was in charge of commanding this winter offensive, persuaded Joseph to abandon the winter offensive under great pressure. "said the Chief of the General Staff, Marshal Manstein.

Qin Tian nodded, he knew that Zhukov was the most famous commander of the Russian army in another time and space. Even gold always shines, and in this time and space, Zhukov's performance seems to be also very good. And, too, it was valued by Joseph. If it were an ordinary person, I am afraid that he would not have the courage to persuade Joseph at all. Qin Tian knew that Joseph's temper was not very good.

"Zhukov is a very talented person, and we need to pay more attention to him. If possible, kill him on the battlefield as much as possible, dead or alive! Qin Tian said.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Field Marshal Manstein nodded solemnly. He saw that Qin Tian attached so much importance to Zhukov, and he also knew that Zhukov was indeed a talented person. It's just that he was an enemy of Germany. If he is allowed to live, it will be a great threat to Germany.

"Ladies and gentlemen, it has been almost three months since the war broke out. I do not deny that in these three months we have had great success. The total number of Russian troops eliminated has reached three million, and at the same time, the Russian Navy has been eliminated and the Russian Air Force has been severely damaged. But don't be complacent. You are not like ordinary Germans, and you should know how powerful the enemies of the Reich are this time. Even with the military strength of the Empire, if you are not careful, you will still fail! Qin Tian said solemnly.

Qin Tian didn't want the battle to be fought until now, and at this time, the generals of the empire got carried away. In that case, it will not be easy for Germany to win this war. He did not want this to lead to Germany's defeat in a future war.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Everyone replied.

"Gentlemen, we have wiped out three million Russian troops. However, according to the information we have, they can still arm 12 million people if Russia mobilizes to the limit. Therefore, we also need to constantly attack them, strike at them, destroy the living forces and war potential of the Russians, and prepare for the complete defeat of them. Qin Tian said.

"Your Majesty, when spring comes, our large-scale offensive will begin. If all goes well, it will be enough to finish out the six million army of the Russians this year and destroy their main forces in one fell swoop! Marshal Manstein continued.

"Don't forget, the islanders and Americans are still eyeing us. Moreover, I am afraid that the islanders will start a war against us in a short time. Even if the islanders refused to go to war so early, the Americans would not let them wait any longer. Qin Tian reminded.
