"Understood, I understood. Prince Yusupov, who looked much older than a few months ago, smiled wryly, "Your war will only go to the Urals, and then to the east will be our war."www.biquge.info It's going to be very, very tough! ”

After a few months as Chief of the General Staff of the Russian Army, Prince Yusupov already felt deeply how difficult it was to run Russia.

Empress Olga's "Decree on Land Reform" and the national policy of integrating Europe did win some supporters for the White Russian regime. But that doesn't mean the GC fighters are gone...... The Bolshevik Party spent twenty years cultivating a new generation of GC-ism, some of whom were hypocrites, but also countless Soviets who truly believed in GC-ism.

Before the German invasion and the restoration of White Russia, these true GCISTS were lost among the much larger number of hypocrites, unable to shine red. And when the real catastrophe of the Soviet Motherland came, the hypocrites tore off their masks and turned to White Russia. It's time for true GCists to stand up and defend their ideals.

Therefore, the restoration of White Russia has also become the best litmus test for the belief in GCISM - unlike the historical Soviet-German war, Russian nationalism could not add any strength to the Bolshevik Party in the Soviet Union, so it was the real GC fighters who stood firmly on the side of the Bolsheviks.

Although there are not many such people in the "white zone", they are not small (in fact, there are not many staunch supporters of Empress Olga, and the silent majority is the mainstream). Moreover, the methods of struggle of these true GC activists began to diversify, not necessarily in terms of violent guerrilla warfare, but also in non-violent workers' and student movements, and some of them even played the banner of the Social Democratic Party or the National Socialist Party.

At the same time, Olga's court also had many difficulties after it actually came to power. The forces that Olga relied on during her exile were the White Russian military aristocracy, who were not the same thing as the German Junkers, who were very backward in thought and knowledge. Their knowledge of Russia was still before the October Revolution, and they did not know how to manage the "Soviets".

The traitors of the Bolshevik Party who later defected to Olga were all disillusioned and had no sense of belonging to the Romanov dynasty, and many of them planned to go to Paris and London to live a comfortable life.

These former GC fighters who have lost their faith are more corrupt than the "old white male aristocracy" in many cases - although Olga and her old white men do not know how to govern the "Soviets", but they know the truth that "water can overturn the boat" after losing the country once, and now they are finally salted fish and turned over, of course, they are more cherished, so they dare not let go to make money.

As a result, Olga's court now has two stubborn diseases: old white men, confusion, and GC doctrine, traitors, and corruption. Even in the Russian Army, which consisted of former Belarusian exiles and Soviet traitors, there was a problem of mismanagement and corruption.

In addition, the two groups of people, the old white man and the Bolshevik traitors, did not now merge into a united Russian royalist, but vaguely divided into two bureaucratic groups, each of which regarded the other as political rivals.

This series of problems caused a lot of headaches for Empress Olga and Prince Yusupov, and at the same time greatly reduced the combat effectiveness of the White Russian regime. Without the full support of Germany and Europe, the current White Russian bloc would have been very difficult to defeat Red Russia.

To change this combination of "confusion" + "corruption", it will take a lot of energy and time to integrate and govern.

Moreover, since most of the areas ruled by Belarus changed hands after a bloody battle. With the exception of a few places such as Petrograd, the economy was devastated, and it was simply unable to provide taxes for the White Russian regime and army.

Therefore, the current Belarusian army and regime are maintained by subsidies from the European Community, and with the expansion of the Belarusian territory and the growth of the number of troops, the European Community needs to provide more and more subsidies!

This huge expenditure increasingly became a burden for France and Germany (Britain's own economy was recovering, so it was not yet responsible for aiding the Russian Empire in 1944), and it was also a major headache for Hitler's and Petain governments.

It is not without cost to want to win the hearts and minds of the people in Russia with "good policies"!

"It's great that you understand, Prince." Hersman nodded, and Major General Stauffenberg, deputy chief of operations and second operations officer of the Wehrmacht General General of the General Staff of the Wehrmacht, who had arrived with him in Petrograd, took out a thick file bag from a large briefcase and placed it on the conference table.

"This is a draft of the second stage of the operational plan for the 'Typhoon' plan to attack Moscow." Pointing to the document bag, Hersmann said, "The perimeter of Moscow is to be solved by the German and French armies, and after the encirclement is completed, the Russian army will attack the city." If...... If you feel difficult, you can still go under siege. ”

The huge city of Moscow has now been turned into barracks and fortresses. The situation there was similar to that of Leningrad before it, where the inhabitants were mostly supporters of the Bolshevik Party, and if they were to storm it, they would inevitably suffer heavy losses - a storming of a fortified city defended by a million and hundreds of thousands of GC fighters would be an absolute nightmare for the attackers, and millions of casualties would be possible!

And it was not easy to capture Moscow by means of siege, because with the lessons of Leningrad, there was now a huge amount of food hoarded in the city of Moscow. According to intelligence, it is enough for 1.5 million GC fighters to eat for 2-3 years!

So Hersmann and Guderian, who had drawn up the plan, ruled out the option of using the German army to storm from the beginning of the war - the total number of people who had died in the war on the German side from the beginning of the war in September 1939 was less than 300,000 if the "vassal peoples" such as Poles, Ukrainians, and Lithuanians were not included.

If the Battle of Moscow cost the German nation 1 million lives, then after fighting the European part of the Soviet Union, the German people should almost be war-weary, where is the heart to go to the Caribbean to fight American imperialism?

Therefore, Hersmann and Guderian simply pushed the task of attacking the fortification to the Russians, and the Germans were responsible for attacking the perimeter with Tiger tanks and E-50 tanks.

Based on the experience of the past 2 years, the advantage of the German armored cluster in field combat is very strong, even if the Soviets are equipped with JS-2 heavy tanks, they are bound to lose. After all, the Germans now also have powerful E-50A heavy tanks.

If the White Russian army could not bite Moscow, then it would be more cost-effective to simply besiege the hungry, even for two or three years, than to kill 1 million Germans.

Hersman continued: "If Moscow needs to be encircled, then after the encirclement of Moscow is completed, we will also launch an operation to attack the Volga-Ural industrial region or the Caucasus oil-producing region." ”

In addition to Moscow, the USSR had another "dead end" - the Volga-Ural industrial region.

After the loss of Eastern Ukraine and Leningrad, the Soviet Union had roughly three remaining industrial regions, namely the area around Moscow; Volga-Ural industrial zone and Siberian industrial zone.

Among them, Moscow and the Volga-Ural industrial zone are much more important than Siberia, and the second oil center of the Soviet Union, Baku, is also in the Volga-Ural industrial zone. The oil produced in the Caucasus oil producing regions had to be processed by the refineries of the Volga-Ural industrial zone (after the bombing of the oil refineries in Batumi at the beginning of World War II, Stalin moved the oil refining industry in Batumi to Baku II).

Therefore, once the Volga-Ural industrial zone falls into the hands of the German army and White Russia, the sustained combat capability of the Soviet Union will be greatly reduced, and the strength of White Russia will be greatly increased.

Prince Yusupov thought about it and asked: "From where are we going to attack the Volga-Ural region?"

"The army will march east from the Kharkov-Donetsk region in two directions, first capturing Stalingrad on the lower Volga River, and then advancing north along the Volga River to seize the Middle Volka Oblast (Kuibyshev) and the Ulyanovsk region."

"A big detour of more than 1,200 kilometers?" Prince Yusupov calculated the approximate distance from Donetsk to Central Volga.

Hersman nodded, and said: "The other route is to the east of Moscow, take the Vladimir Oblast, Nizhny Novgorod Oblast, and Ulyanovsk Oblast, and join the Southern Route Army on the banks of the Volga River...... This way, if you start counting from the city of Moscow, you need to advance 700-800 kilometers. ”

More than 1200 kilometers all the way, 700-800 kilometers all the way! And it's not riding a horse, it's a mechanized cluster, and the fuel consumption alone is astronomical. But this expenditure is also necessary, how can it not be possible to fight the Volga-Urals in order to "recover" the European part of Russia?

And after the defeat of the Volga-Urals, it goes without saying...... The "Slavic master" who gave Comrade Hitler the most headache gave tens of millions more!

However, Hersmann is not the chancellor now, so he does not have to think about Hitler's difficulties, so he only has to plan how to take the west of the Ural Mountains.

He went on to say to Yusupov: "The Volga-Ural campaign is the same as the Moscow campaign, the main thing is the Russian civil war...... European armies are only here to help, not the main force. So the field battle was still fought by the German and French troops, and the occupation and fortification were solved by the Russians themselves. What do you think? Can you figure it out on your own? ”

"Of course, we have the ability." Prince Yusupov didn't say a word, and agreed in one bite, "After all, it is a civil war in Russia that is going on now, and the White Army is of course the main cannon fodder." ”
