Stalin was bursting with his thunderous rage, because, in less than a little over a month.

The German army not only destroyed Poland, which had more than one million army, navy and air force, but also gathered more than 3 million troops and launched a surprise attack on the Soviet border in three directions.

At the very beginning of the war, German aircraft attacked several important Soviet air bases on the Western Front.

Hundreds of Soviet planes were destroyed by the German air forces before they even had a chance to take off to meet them.

&[email protected]/* */w.; Within just a week of the start of the war, the Soviets lost more than 50 percent of their mobile corps.

Many of the troops did not even complete the assembly, and were wiped out by the German ground armored forces, interspersed with roundabouts, and encircled.

The advanced tactics and advanced equipment of the German army was one reason, and the Soviet army, after Stalin's purge, lost many experienced middle and low-level officers, which led to a serious decline in combat effectiveness.

It is also an important reason why such an unbearable situation has arisen at the very beginning of the war.

Today, the Soviets suffered heavy losses, losing territory twice as large as France, large industrial areas and population.

The situation has reached a point where it is critical.

After Stalin's roar, he began to calm down, and his subordinates such as Zhukov and Vasilevsky were close to the generals and staff.

Discuss the next resistance strategy and quickly recruit new troops in the unoccupied areas to expand the armament.

The Great Patriotic War of the Soviet people began.

…………

In Nanjing, Zhang Xinghan was also in a meeting with Jiang Baili, Liu Guodong, Bai Chongxi, Li Zongren and others.

From the surprise of the participants, Zhang Xinghan could see that it was obvious that they did not expect that the seemingly powerful Soviet army would behave so badly under the surprise attack of the German army.

In less than two months, the German offensive invaded and occupied millions of square kilometers of territory and tens of millions of people in the Soviet Union.

annihilated their army of millions. This is a great shock and impact on China's senior generals.

In less than two months, millions of Soviet border guards were gathered and annihilated, and more than 1,000 miles of land were plundered.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the progress of the Soviet-German war is more or less like this, tell me what you think." Zhang Xinghan took the time to ask the participants, in Zhang Xinghan's thinking, the worse the Soviet army was beaten by the German army, the safer the northeast direction of China would be.

The more they will be able to muster more troops, material and manpower, and the Americans for a decisive battle.

Li Zongren was the first to speak: "Commission, I think that if the Soviet-German war continues according to this process. It is likely that the Germans will capture the capital of the Soviet Union by the end of this year, 1937.

Win this war. ”

Bai Chongxi expressed his opinion and said: "Degong, not really, you underestimate the war potential of the Soviet army too much.

They have a population of hundreds of millions, the largest territory in the world, even though they were caught off guard by the German army in the early stage and suffered heavy losses.

Nor will it lose its combat capability.

Because they had enough strategic depth and space for them to get a respite, to resist and deplete the German offensive as slowly as possible.

Wait for a favorable time. Fight back.

The German army, although it won a temporary victory by a sudden attack, if it could not fight a quick victory in a very short time, it would destroy the living forces of the Soviet army as much as possible.

Then the war will be plunged into a protracted war of attrition. At that point, the outcome will be unpredictable.

Because, don't forget, there are still Britain and France on the western front of Germany.

If the Germans did their best to fight the Soviets in the Soviet-German theater of war, in case they attacked the Germans from behind. Then the Germans will most likely fall into a state of total destruction.

Of course, Hitler and his staff would not have failed to think of this, and they would have left a strong enough force on the Western Front to guard against the possible threat of invasion by Britain and France.

And that's exactly what happened. The Germans could not devote all their forces to the Soviet battlefield.

It is really unknown whether the millions of troops thrown into the Soviet Union this time will be able to exhaust all of their war potential before the Soviets can recover their strength. ”

As soon as Bai Chongxi's words came out, everyone present nodded in unison.

Li Zongren also tasted his analysis a little, and involuntarily nodded in agreement.

Jiang Baili laughed and said: "Chief Bai's strategic vision is really good, and his analysis is completely correct.

Without the intervention of external forces, it would be difficult for the Germans to truly conquer the huge polar bear with their military and national strength at this time.

Therefore, the purpose of the chairman's convening here today is to announce to you an extremely grand strategic battle plan.

However, before we can implement these strategies, there is one first condition, that is, we must defeat the main force of the US Navy and Air Force in the Pacific War. ”

"A grand strategic battle plan?" Everyone looked at each other, and Bai Chongxi asked curiously: "What is the plan, I don't know if Mr. Jiang can make it clear?" ”

Jiang Baili looked at Zhang Xinghan with a smile, and then said: "This strategic plan is the three-step plan that our army will carry out next.

The first is what I just said, that is, we must first concentrate all our efforts on defeating the US naval and air forces.

Second, it ordered the two major frontier armies in the northwest and northeast to form a huge attack group and launch an all-front attack from the northwest, northeast, and the Korean Peninsula to the Soviet Union's Siberia, Vladivostok, Sakhalin, and other Far East regions.

The goal of the first phase is to recover Sakhalin, Vladivostok, the Donnu-Ulianghai Sea and the entire region of Eastern Siberia.

These areas, all the way to Lake Belga, were once and are the territory of the Chinese nation, and we must take them back from the polar bears.

The later goal was to march west along the Trans-Siberian Railway in response to German operations.

Third, after gaining sea and air supremacy in the Pacific Ocean, the Southwestern Frontier Army and the Southeast Frontier Army will be dispatched to attack the Indochina Peninsula.

The objective was to seize all the colonies of France, Britain, the Netherlands, and the United States in Southeast Asia and the Western Pacific Islands, and to expel them from the Asian region.

Blockade the Strait of Malacca and lay out our second island chain defense.

On land, after conquering Southeast Asia, our army sent an expeditionary force to Central Asia and the Middle East.

The strategic goal was also to destroy the Soviets' largest industrial area and food supply base in western Central Asia.

Because it is foreseeable that in the event of a simultaneous attack by us and the Germans in Siberia and the Far East, as well as Kiev, Ukraine will fall.

Then Central Asia will become the last lifebase of the Soviets.

Our expeditionary force in Southeast Asia, with the cooperation of the Northwest Expeditionary Force, will attack here and cut off the last war potential of the Soviets.

As long as Central Asia is conquered, our expeditionary force will be able to attack the Middle East by land, thus realizing the strategic plan of meeting forces with the German army on both sides by land.

It is also conducive to the expansion of our military forces to the Mediterranean, the Persian Gulf and the African continent. ”

"Sure enough, it is a grand strategic plan, and if this is to be implemented, our Chinese territory and territory will be overturned." Liu Guodong couldn't help but sigh.

Zhang Xinghan smiled slightly, in addition to the needs of the current situation, the main reason for the capture of Central Asia, Siberia and the Middle East is that Zhang Xinghan knows that there are extremely rich strategic resources in the industrialization period underground.

For example, the most important oil, as a traverser, no one knows the importance of oil in the future development better than Zhang Xinghan.

Expansion into Africa is also for the long-term plan of the Chinese nation.

Because the Middle East and Africa are extremely rich in strategic resources such as oil.

Only if the Chinese nation controls this place, it will be able to become a superpower that controls the world's discourse and acts as the world's policeman in the future.

He knew that in the future, whoever controlled 80 percent of the earth's oil would control the lifeblood of the rest of the world.

The whole of Siberia, the Middle East, and Africa are already the richest underground regions in the future.

It can be said that, apart from the sea, 90 percent of the most important strategic resources on the planet, oil, come from these regions.

"One more point, I add, is that before we defeat the US Navy and Air Force, our North-Western and North-Eastern border guards can tentatively launch an offensive against Eastern Siberia, Vladivostok and even Sakhalin.

First, to test the resistance of the Soviet troops in these areas, and second, to put pressure on the Soviets as much as possible to support the German army in Western Europe. Zhang Xinghan added with a smile.

Everyone nodded in agreement.

…………

"Your Excellency, according to the results we have calculated, if we want to carry out an air attack on Nanjing, the capital of China, there are no more than two options.

First, through the colonial airfields of the French in Vietnam, B-17 flying fortress bombers took off directly to carry out bombing.

Second, it took off from air bases in the Philippines and Luzon, and the straight-line air distance between the two places from Nanjing was more than 1,580 kilometers and more than 1,470 kilometers respectively.

Theoretically, if our bombers are equipped with fuel tanks and carry as much fuel as possible, the bombers that fly out can return home.

However, it should be noted that now none of our fighters has a combat radius of more than 1,500 km (the range of the B-17 is more than 2,900 km, and the combat radius is about 1,500 km)

Therefore, no matter from the above two areas, once they enter the airspace of China's Guangxi or Fujian, these bombers will have to complete the bombing mission alone.

During this time, they had to deal not only with the dense anti-aircraft fire of the Chinese army, but also against the swarm of Chinese fighter jets that could spot them.

Therefore, the probability of success is low. At the U.S. Navy's Combined Pacific Fleet Command in Hawaii, a staff officer reported to Chief of General Staff Nimitz. (To be continued......)
