Chapter 1042 - What to Save You, Dear Stalin

"Prime Minister, your worries are unfounded. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info" Hersman said this, and he really had no bottom in his heart.

Civil war cannot be measured purely from a military point of view, but must also take into account political factors. And Her Majesty the Empress Olga is obviously a master of playing "sugar-coated cannonballs".

Perhaps a "meat bullet or silver bullet" would crush the Red Army that had fled to the icy and snowy Siberia......

Moreover, Russians have always recognized Moscow and Petrograd. Siberia has never been the orthodoxy in the minds of Russians.

"Moscow is not so easy to take," Hersmann said, shaking his head, "and the Germans will not take part in the storming operations, but will only provide fire support with the French." ”

"Reichsmar, I don't think so," interrupted Hersmann with a wave of his hand, "I've fought too, I've been in the trenches for a few years in the last world war, and I know what it's all about. The key is the cannon, enough cannons, cannons of 150mm caliber, 170mm caliber, 210mm caliber, 305mm caliber and even larger. As long as there are enough of them, it is completely possible to raze Moscow to the ground. How many such large-caliber guns can we and the French come up with now? ”

"There are nearly 20,000 doors with a diameter of more than 150mm." Hersman replied.

"Enough!" Hitler said, "As long as that woman Olga shows determination, White Russia can take Moscow in three months!" Manstein's army group will take Volga-Urals at the same time...... And the Japanese still have the possibility of taking advantage of the fire to rob, and Hiroshi Oshima has been talking to our people about Japan's attack on the Soviet Union and the blockade of the North Pacific shipping lanes in the past few days. Do you know what that means? ”

It means despair! Despair, in turn, means collapse and defection. If the Bolsheviks in Siberia and Central Asia saw no hope of maintaining it at all, then it was not impossible for Olga to completely take the eastern territories of Russia in the coming months.

And Germany seems to be powerless about it...... The Bolsheviks must not be allowed to defect to the party, right?

"I'll talk to Moder," Hersmann said to Hitler in thought, "and you can't take Moscow for six months." ”

It's the middle of May, and six months later it's mid-November, and if it drags on, the army will have to spend the winter under the city of Moscow. Moreover, Hersman also planned to clean up the United States in 1945, so the war against the Soviet Union had to be over in 1944.

"This is not enough," Hitler said to Hersmann in a low voice, "and if we want the Soviet Union to remain east of the Ural Mountains, we must let the Soviet Union retain a strong leader, Stalin...... Can't die in Moscow!

In addition, a strong Soviet army had to retreat to Central Asia, Siberia and the Far East. Otherwise, once the Japanese are hot-headed, we will be in big trouble. And the people who made up the Soviet Red Army were all young men, mainly men, but also some women. If a few million such people retreated to the east of the Urals, the future Russian Empire would lose 10 million or even 20 million people. Do you understand? The key now is population, and we must ensure that the Germanic people are the number one nation in the European Community in the future. ”

Because there was no way to starve the Russian masters to death, Hitler could only think about driving as many people away as he could.

In addition, Hitler's government is still pondering a number of "quick" population growths. For example, the "Aryan War Orphan Raising Method" - not really many Aryan war orphans to raise, of course, but young orphans from Poland, Ukraine, Belarus and Russia, who were raised by German orphanages or families to become Germanic people.

There was also the "Aryan Mother Law," which encouraged Polish, Ukrainian, Belarusian, and Russian girls to have children for blonde Nazis......

And the matter of the Men is different from those crooked ways to increase the Germanic people, because this is not what Germany can say, and there is a great Japanese Empire on the other side of the world that will explode at any time. In case that Emperor Showa made a mistake and wanted to go north, and one guy turned the Soviet Union into Russia, Comrade Hitler would not have to be by Hirohito? Therefore, Hitler thought that it would be better to leave more troops for the Bolsheviks, at least to scare the Japanese.

"And," said Hitler, after a pause, "we must give Stalin enough time to evacuate the population of the Volga-Ural region." Although they were inferior Slavs, they were still nobler than the barbarians of Central Asia and Siberia and should have a certain space to live. ”

Hersman nodded, of course he knew that the living space in Central Asia could still support many people. If it weren't for the Russians who believed in GCISM and Orthodox Christianity (now the Soviet Union has liberalized Orthodoxy) to occupy the territory, it would have been a "green" place.

Seeing Hersmann nodding, Hitler sighed softly, as long as he and Hersmann reached a consensus, there was nothing that could not be done in Germany now.

"Marshal, you have to tell Natalie to go to Mrs. Colontai and tell Stalin what we mean." Hitler said, "Let him leave Moscow early, he can go to the Caucasus first, and then take troops to Kazakhstan through the Caspian Sea." ”

It seems that Hitler was really a good friend of Stalin in this time and space, and even helped him think of an escape route.

"I see," Hersmann thought for a moment, "I have made a trip to Switzerland myself to discuss the matter with Madame Curlentai in person. ”

……

After agreeing with Hitler on a way to save the Soviet Union and Stalin, Hersmann asked the General Staff for leave the next day, and then took his wife Chloe, private secretary Natalie, and the adjutant guards to the Swiss villa for a vacation.

Of course, the vacation was only a name, and meeting the Soviet ambassador to Switzerland, Mrs. Kollentai, was the real purpose.

Before Hersmann and the others boarded the train to Zurich, Natalie had already spoken to Kollontai on the phone. So on the night of Hersmann's arrival, he met Madame Curontai in his and Chloe's villa.

Mrs. Kollentai, who looked very melancholy, sat down in Hersmann's study after dinner, listened to Hersmann's words with a frown, and asked in a very skeptical tone: "What do you Germans mean, Marshal?" Did you want to negotiate peace with the Soviet Union? ”

"It's not a peace negotiation," Hersman smiled bitterly helplessly, "if Olga hadn't become the master of Petrograd, we could have reached a peace agreement." But now...... The war between the USSR and Germany has turned into a civil war in Russia, and we do not want the reunification of Russia in the short term. Madame, can you understand our thoughts? ”

Kollontai glanced at Hersman coldly, nodded slowly, and said, "No one wants to see a united and strong Russia, whether it is red or white. ”

Hersman nodded wordlessly.

Who made ethnic Russians now the number one ethnic group in Europe? If the entire Russian nation were swallowed, the demographic superiority of the Germanic people would not exist.

"Then in the future, will you intervene in the war between us and Belarus?"

"If the war reaches Europe," Hersman said, "we're definitely going to intervene." ”

Madame Colontai was silent for a moment, and then asked, "What if Japan attacks us?" There's a good chance that something like this will happen, right? ”

"We will try our best to convince Japan not to act, and if Japan does not listen to us, then ...... We will also not provide any support to Japan. ”

"It's not enough." Kollontai shook his head and looked at Hersman, "Do you know what is the key to the survival of the Soviet Union?" ”

"What?"

"It's supplies." Kollontai smiled bitterly, "Siberia and Central Asia lack supplies, and they simply can't support so many people and troops, at least not until we fully develop Central Asia." And the possible sources of materials are all under the threat of Japan. ”

"Don't worry for the time being," Hersman understood what Collentai meant, but he couldn't give any guarantees on this issue, "Japan and the United States are in a big war right now, and according to what we know, the Japanese are not fighting as well as they claim. As a matter of fact...... They are being defeated by the United States! Although the Japanese have been claiming victory for the past 2 months, the reality is that they are losing. ”

Now the United States and Japan are fighting the "Pacific War", and the entire Pacific Ocean is a battlefield, and the battle for the Hawaiian Islands is only a part of it. While Japan continues to claim to have inflicted heavy losses on the United States on the Hawaiian Islands battlefield, elsewhere in the Pacific, Japan is suffering setbacks.

And Germany, as an ally of Japan, was not ignorant of this. Because the EC's own fleet running the Greater East Asia route lost a total of 11 ships in March and April, totaling 118,000 tons! This figure accounted for more than 30% of the total number of EC cargo ships entering the area east of the Strait of Malacca in March and April. A further 10 ships were damaged, which together accounted for more than 50 per cent of the total number of EC ships (excluding warships) in Greater East Asia.

Seventy percent of all ships lost and damaged were caused by American submarines, and the remaining 30 percent were the result of American mines. Although the mines laid by the Americans sank and damaged fewer ships, they caused greater losses to production and transportation. Because a small number of mines can temporarily render shipping lanes and ports unusable, transport vessels are forced to wait for demining.

In March and April, the Strait of Malacca alone was interrupted for 21 days due to mines laid by the United States (the Strait of Malacca is shallow and a good place to lay magnetic mines), thus seriously affecting the transfer of goods between Europe and Japan.
