Chapter 034: Reactions from all sides

Chiang Kai-shek felt that Wang Hanzhang's analysis of the article was quite correct, and Wang Hanzhang's strategic vision was quite accurate from the perspective of Burma.

As one of the world's major powers, they naturally have countless spies collecting intelligence or major local news, Wang Hanzhang's article has been hotly discussed all over the world, and the allies feel that in addition to the victory on the battlefield, they also need this propaganda to motivate the people and boost morale, and they also feel that Wang Hanzhang's words are very reasonable.

A few days later, a newspaper with Wang Hanzhang's article was placed in the official residences of Roosevelt, Churchill, Stalin, and Hitler.

Roosevelt came early in the morning, just picked up the newspaper and read it, the title of Wang Hanzhang's article was very large, very attractive, Roosevelt took a look, it seemed that Wang Hanzhang's article was quite reasonable, Roosevelt didn't care very much, he just read it at a glance, and then passed it over his head.

Churchill is the same as Roosevelt, but he still has one more worry, he naturally knows the name of Wang Hanzhang, and now this person is in Burma, every time Churchill sees the news about China, he remembers that China still has 300,000 troops in Burma.

Churchill read Wang Hanzhang's article and felt that what Wang Hanzhang said was true, if hunger could really annihilate the German army so much, then the Soviet army should have the initiative on the battlefield, and the pressure on Britain would naturally be much less at that time, and Britain would not have to transfer all its forces to Britain itself to resist Germany.

At that time, perhaps it was time to clean up the Chinese and the damned Japanese, and dare to take advantage of the British Empire, it was simply impatient to live, Churchill thought indignantly.

And Moscow couldn't help but smile when he saw Wang Hanzhang calling it the great Soviet Russia and the great Soviet Russian Red Army in the article, it seems that this Wang Hanzhang is still quite promising, and it is worth wooing.

However, he read it carefully later, although Wang Hanzhang's article revealed that he was close to Soviet Russia, but the article was actually public, so Germany could also see this article.

Originally, it was nothing, but the key is that Stalin is really as Wang Hanzhang said, and now intends to consume the German army in Stalingrad, wait until winter comes, and use all his strength to counterattack, and give the German army in Stalingrad a fatal blow, or a devastating blow, so as to turn the tide on the battlefield.

Now that Wang Hanzhang has said everything he has to do, his coat has suddenly woken up the fanatical Germany, and his plan is probably about to go bankrupt, Stalin took a puff of his pipe in frustration.

But now there is no way to stop it, I believe that the article should be reprinted all over the world, and it seems that I can only find a way to confuse the German army.

Stalin knew that the current German army was still very arrogant and had not experienced any major defeats, and Hitler had not always said that the Soviet Union was a crumbling door breaker, and as long as he gently kicked him, he could make him fall to the ground with a bang, then he would behave like this all the time, and he would not be able to hold out until the arrival of winter.

Stalin didn't believe that Hitler's arrogant guy would be woken up by an article about a Chinese hairy child who didn't grow up.

So Stalin thought about it for a while, and asked Zhukov to give an order, not only not to lose Stalingrad, but also to make the German army feel that Stalingrad was like a broken door board, and only one more kick could kick the door board. Zhukov deserved to be Stalin's old partner, and soon understood Stalin's intentions, so he later ceded more places to the German army, but the German army was not fooled?

And Hitler was still very anxious during this time, this battle was fought from July to the present, more than two months have passed, every time the German army seems to be about to break through, but every time the city is defeated.

When Hitler saw Wang Hanzhang's analysis, he couldn't help frowning, this Wang Hanzhang was so big-hearted, did he think that Stalin was God, and he would annihilate the 1.5 million army of Germany and its allies at every turn. Hitler did not like to be told that his enemies were powerful, even if they were subtle.

However, although Hitler was annoyed by Wang Hanzhang's statement, he still thought carefully about the mention of whether the German army's weapons were too good to be frozen and could not be used in the cold Soviet Russian winter, and now it is September, and the weather will turn cold in late October, and even snow, generally later Soviet Russia will also snow heavily in November, if the army can't take Stalingrad at that time, then what should I do, the German army without winter clothes can only confront the Soviet Russian army in the ice and snow, a few days are okay, If it's a stalemate, then it's not going to work. The power of the spirit in greatness cannot resist the cold without limits.

Hitler arrived at the office after breakfast, and he asked the adjutant to take Alfred Brown, head of the Operations Bureau of the Supreme Command. Admiral Yod and a number of other staff officers and officers called.

Alfred? In August 1939, Admiral Yod was exceptionally promoted to head of the Operations Department (Major General) of the Supreme Command of the Armed Forces. From then on, Jodel became one of Hitler's main advisers in military operations, and was directly involved in planning the plans and actions of the German army for aggression and expansion. In the Nazi wars against Norway, Denmark and Yugoslavia, Jodel played an irreplaceable role for others. From 1940 to 1941, he was one of the main concoctors of the battle plan for attacking the Soviet Union, codenamed "Barbarossa Plan", and issued it. During the war, he issued military orders for the massacre of Soviet prisoners of war, which further contributed to the German army's long-standing atrocities of massacring prisoners of war.

Soon Hitler's general favorites arrived at Hitler's office, Hitler wanted to discuss with them the situation on the Eastern Front, the war lasted for two months, Hitler was very dissatisfied with the occupation, Hitler felt that Soviet Russia was about to be defeated, but every time the battle report from the front made him very annoyed.

When everyone arrived, Hitler said, "Look at this newspaper." As he spoke, he threw away the newspaper he had read in the morning.

Hitler was dissatisfied: "Even a Chinese general in his twenties dares to judge the situation in Europe, and he still says the truth, you see, my generals, is it difficult for you to really defeat Stalin's army in the cold winter?" Don't tell me that fighting in the cold is your forte. ”

Wang Hanzhang's article occupies a very large page, and the people below found it at once, although they also read this newspaper in the morning, but the superiors asked them to read it, and they still pretended to take a look, not to mention that their head of state did not seem to be in a good mood.

Alfred? Admiral Yod is the only one who dares to confront Hitler, he is more and more helpless about Hitler's arrogance, now that Hitler has taken out this matter to speak, he feels that he must try his best to persuade Hitler, otherwise he will always let Hitler leave the actual command, then Germany will be defeated if it is undefeated, and other Yodl has read Wang Hanzhang's article in the morning, although it is advising the Chinese, but the situation on the Soviet-German battlefield mentioned in it does really exist, And with the onset of winter will become a very serious situation, and with two months to go, if Hitler can be persuaded now, then everything will be saved, or at least the damage will be minimized.

Yodel said to Hitler: "My Führer, then I have read the articles of the Chinese, and it is indeed exaggerated, exaggerating the Soviet Russian army, if the Soviet Russian army is really so powerful, then it will not be beaten like a wild dog by us, and it will be strung around." Jodel first praised the might of the German army, and after being with Hitler for so long, he still knew Hitler's temperament, otherwise he would have been driven out long ago if he always contradicted Hitler.

But then he turned around and said: "But I think, according to the current battlefield situation, I'm afraid we can't end this campaign before the arrival of the harsh winter in Soviet Russia, the Chinese mentioned that we lack materials for the winter, as far as I know, we are really not prepared, fortunately the Chinese reminded us, in addition, our weapons are indeed too sophisticated, I think that at minus forty or fifty degrees, the weapons are likely to really fail as the Chinese say, cannot be used, as for the knowledge of physics, I think I will not say it here, Therefore, I think that we should be prepared in advance, otherwise this situation would not have been possible, and it would have been impossible for our troops to fight the vile Slavs in thin single clothes with rifles that could not be fired at minus forty or fifty degrees Celsius. ”

After hearing this, Hitler said: "You also think that it is impossible for the troops to take the city that Stalin named after himself before the onset of the harsh winter?" ”

Yodel said: "Führer, remember that you once gave me a Chinese military book "The Art of War"! It mentions being prepared, which means that no matter what the actual situation is, we have to have good expectations, but we have to prepare for the worst. The Führer's winter supplies, I think it is necessary, even if we take here, we still need winter supplies, because we will spend the winter there when we fight, not Germany, before the Soviet Russia surrenders, the Soviet army has a great possibility of counterattack, then our troops must come out to fight, not hide in the house to roast the fire. We have six million soldiers on the Eastern Front, and this is not a small amount of work, and if it snows, it will be very troublesome to transport the railways, and the snow will freeze the railways, not to mention the damned guerrillas sabotage, and I am afraid that it will affect the combat of the troops. Yodel said to death that the front needed winter supplies anyway, so Hitler had absolutely no way to refuse.

When Hitler heard this say this, Yodel, on whom he trusted the most, his heart was a little empty, and he asked the others: "What do you say?" ”

Himmler said: "Führer, I think that the loyal soldiers will take Stalingrad before the cold winter comes." ”
