Having solved the problem of Western Ukraine and Western Belarus, the next target according to Lin Jun's plan should be the Baltic states, apparently Stalin could not wait and was in a hurry to solve the Baltic problem. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Look at the time is almost up, Britain and France have declared war, the Germans are too busy to take care of themselves, and the situation in the east is just right to start and solve the problem once and for all according to the agreement.

Now democratic elections to the People's Assembly are being organized throughout Western Ukraine and Western Belarus, and it is only a matter of time before they officially join the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. Lin Jun can leave the western border with confidence, with Alexander and Zhukov in the position, everything can go smoothly according to plan. And Zhukov temporarily became the "acting commander-in-chief of the liberation army" according to the order of the Kremlin, but Lin Jun's title of "commander-in-chief" has not been removed, Zhukov is a coordinator, and he is not important enough to order the commanders of two large military regions.

The Liberation Army can be regarded as a basically successful conclusion, but there are many problems that need to be explored and resolved. The restoration of the original border between Ukraine and western Belarus requires the construction of new defensive lines to move the defense against the German invasion to the west, away from the economic center. Regarding the reconstruction plan of the western barrier, Lin Jun had already submitted a proposal to the General Staff Shaposhnikov, providing some suggestions for the reconstruction plan, and the actual situation of the German-Polish war well reflected the actual effectiveness of Lin Jun's proposal.

Lin Jun's three planes made a short stop in Münster, and after listening to the preliminary report of the Belarusian Front on the "liberation march", they took the plane back to Moscow.

The first thing to do when rushing to the Kremlin was to report to the members of the Central ****** and National Defense Committee on the summary of the march and the new military trends in the world as reflected in the "German-Polish War."

"Comrades, I think the reasons for the quick victory of Germany and the defeat of Poland in less than a month can be summed up in six aspects:

First, Germany far surpassed Poland in terms of overall war preparations, comprehensive national strength, and military strength.

Second, Germany's overall combat capability and strategic guiding ideology are advanced, the air-ground coordination, interspersed, encirclement, and roundabout movements, and the use of offensive and defensive tactics are just right, and the army structure and individual soldier quality are obviously superior to those of the Polish army. The fact that German soldiers are able to endure hardships, observe discipline, and train well has a great deal to do with Germany's concentrated military development in the past six years. It can be said that blitzkrieg is the first in the history of world warfare, and the method of replacing defense with offense and three-dimensional combat is completely new. The German army in the war demonstrated the power of the tank corps to carry out a large-depth and rapid assault with the coordination of the aviation unit, which will be a new direction for the development of world warfare.

Third, Poland does not attach importance to national defense construction and lacks effective defense forces and new weapons; The government has long pursued a policy of appeasement, the government has long adhered to an anti-Soviet and pro-German foreign policy, is politically weak and incompetent, lacks strong control over society, has no strong political leader, has a weak force, and has no leadership core.

Fourth, mistakes in defensive strategy led to the rapid demise of Poland. The Polish army made obvious mistakes in the allocation of troops, and the strength was mainly infantry, which was completely powerless to resist the three-dimensional German offensive, and Poland's strategic thinking was already outdated. In the case of modern mechanized troops operating, the role of aircraft and tanks in joint operations is underestimated. In terms of tactics, the vast majority of the troops adopted the method of evenly disposing of the ring line, and did not give up one city and one pool, so that the vast Polish plain became an unimpeded offensive channel for the German mechanized troops and the best test field for the German mechanized rapid assault aircraft group to carry out division and encirclement operations. After the outbreak of war, it was impossible to quickly concentrate the main forces to stop the German offensive in the direction of the main attack, and there was no strong fortifications to build, and it was impossible to delay the enemy's troops and delay time in building fortified areas in key areas.

Fifth, Poland's policy blunders. In the course of the defense, the masses were not mobilized, but they relied solely on military force, and did not form a posture of all-people warfare. Excessive belief in the promises of Britain and France, lack of understanding of Germany's war intentions, offensive direction, and war process, improper strategic deployment of the command, and the fact that the command was far from the front line made it impossible to carry out effective overall command.

Sixth, the treacherous failure of Britain and France to cooperate with Poland on the Western Front allowed the German fascists to concentrate on attacking Poland. ”

Everyone in the conference room was listening carefully to Lin Jun's six main reasons in one go, but Lin Jun hadn't finished speaking.

"The correct defense method of Poland should be the key mobile defense in key areas, echelon to delay the advance of the German army, so that each defensive battle can buy time, and hold on to the moment of the Anglo-French attack on the Western Front, rather than an average deployment of troops, so that at least the German army can suffer greater losses and gain time. It's just that these are empty words, because Britain and France are unreliable, the Polish government's brains are all on the ass, and Poland will be finished if the comrades are to command the Polish army. ”

Lin Jun's words caused a rare burst of laughter, and choosing the wrong ally can only be the result.

"The German blitzkrieg was well demonstrated in the Polish plains, where we can see the shortcomings of the new tactics that worked, such as in the case of mountainous terrain. I would like to draw attention to the fact that the terrain from Moscow to the western border is basically plain, and the few undulating areas are only gentle hills, and if Germany also uses this tactic against us in the future, how can we defend and counterattack? ”

Everyone present can understand the power of blitzkrieg, which is similar to the theory of "great depth of warfare" founded by Tukhachevsky, and the vast Eastern European Plain is the ideal space to exert itself.

"I guess Germany's next targets are the Low Countries in the west and France, and we'll see another demonstration of the Blitzkrieg soon. The Western Front is still in the form of a sit-down war, but Britain and Germany are already fighting for access to the North Sea and the North Atlantic. In light of the lessons learned from the British blockade of the German High Seas Fleet in the Baltic Sea during World War I, the German Navy has always made controlling the coastlines of the North Sea and the Atlantic Ocean a strategic priority in the next major war. Therefore, it is possible that the Germans will attack neutral Norway, even a little earlier than the time of the attack on France. ”

"Do you think the Germans will fight on both fronts to the north and west at the same time?" Hearing Lin Jun's words, Stalin asked.

"Yes, Comrade Stalin. For Germany to seize access to the sea was very, very important, and Hitler would have been in a hurry to take control of Denmark and Norway. Norway's military strength was not worth mentioning to Germany, and the British and French troops who might come to Norway's aid would retreat as soon as the offensive on the Western Front was launched, and the French would be on top for two months at most, when the Anglo-French forces would be too busy to care about Norway's life or death. ”

France is known as the first army power in Europe, and the lethality of Lin Jun's "can't withstand two months" is not small, and the eyes of some comrades show that they seem to be a little disbelieving. It's no wonder that just think about the First World War to see how difficult the French were at that time.

"Two months may be a bit conservative, but it may be a month and a half to solve the problem."

It took 26 days to wipe out Poland, and it is not an exaggeration for France to hold out for only a month and a half. Stalin understood Lin Jun's theory of "how to break through the French defense" and agreed with Lin Jun's meaning: "Comrades don't worry, what we need is to prepare ourselves, just wait to absorb some energy from the German attack on France, and consider how we should face it." ”

The old man has spoken, what other opinions do others express? Lin Jun continued: "When we go head-to-head with Germany one day, it is difficult to determine who will attack first, and it depends on the specific world situation. But one thing worth noting: Clausewitz's On War has a capstone theory that holds that victory always and in most cases has a vertex. This apex refers to the intensity and limits of operations. Because of its existence, the strong who launched the attack will gradually change from strong to weak after reaching the apex, and the weak defender may gradually change from weak to strong if they pay attention to the accumulation of strength. Our theory of large-depth operations is similar to the German blitzkrieg in some respects, and although there is an unprecedented impact force brought by suddenness and high speed, after all, this impact force has a limit, and there is a peak after all. The final outcome of a war is not only determined by the impact force, but also by many other factors, so this is something we need to think about. ”

Lin Jun walked to the map of Europe on the wall: "We have a wide depth, and Germany also has it after the occupation of Poland. Pointing to the European part of the Guidance Department, "Hungary, Romania and other countries are likely to join the German-Italian bloc, not to mention France and other places that Germany will inevitably occupy, so that Germany's strategic breadth will also be extremely wide." ”

"A small Poland can take it in one go, but if the opponent's strategic depth is sufficient and the advance defense is appropriate, because the blitzkrieg relies on speed, and if it cannot completely solve the problem in one go, then, comrades, the consequences will be serious! This compels us to comprehensively consider the possible outbreak of war in the future from all sides and make adequate preparations. ”

When Germany attacked the Soviet Union, it would have to face a small half of Eurasia; When the Soviet Union attacked Germany, it was against half of Europe. Whoever waits until the moment the actual battle begins, the treaty is a waste of paper, but there will be an incomparably large number of factors to consider, some of which are strategic reasons that cannot be explained.

Why is it that during the Battle of Berlin in history, there were still so many Red Army commanders and fighters who did not care about their own lives despite the fact that the final victory was just around the corner, and did not think about their own lives at all? And why did some German troops lose morale during the defensive phase?

In Lin Jun's own nagging words, it was: "Damn! Do you have to wait to be beaten?! (To be continued, if you want to know what will happen next, please log in to the www.qidian.com, more chapters, support the author, support genuine reading!) (To be continued.) )
