Hitler's thoughts were interrupted by the sound of leather boots pounding on the granite floor, and then he saw the door of his office be pushed open, and Hersmann, dressed in the uniform of the Reich Field Marshal, strode in and saluted Hitler - although the authority of the German Chief of the General Staff was not under the Chancellor, Hirschmann was still nominally Hitler's subordinate.

"Ludwig, come here." Hitler politely beckoned to Hersmann and called him to a map of the battlefield situation hanging on a wall.

"Look at this, is it right?" Hitler asked Hersmann, pointing to the map.

The map was produced by Hitler's military adjutant, Lieutenant General Keitel, and several other adjutants on the basis of a report from the General Staff, and was marked with dotted lines as to the trends they predicted on the battlefield.

They predicted very optimistically, and the two large arrows consisting of dotted lines were already meeting east of Moscow.

"It's not so optimistic, how is this possible," Hersman shook his head as he looked at the map drawn by Keitel, "how is it possible to run north from Kharkov to Moscow?" There are more than 600 kilometers of straight lines, and there are more than 400 kilometers of road transportation lines behind them...... How can there be so much gasoline? That's impossible. ”

OK...... Hitler breathed a sigh of relief and was relieved that the Soviet Union had escaped for the time being. But Hersman's next words made his heart rise to his throat.

"So the General Staff planned a one-line assault, starting from Lyuban, southeast of Petrograd. There is a railway line to Baltic, which is still in operation, and all that can be quickly stockpiled with supplies and troops. We plan to concentrate 10 panzer divisions, 10 panzergrenadier divisions, 20 motorized rifle divisions, 20 ordinary infantry divisions or cavalry divisions to launch an offensive in August of this year. ”

The expression on Hitler's face immediately became very anxious, "10 Panzer divisions plus 10 Panzergrenadier divisions?" How many tanks do you need? ”

Hersman held out a slap: "About 5,000 cars!" ”

"5,000?" Hitler gasped, "By the way, do we have those 10 panzer divisions near Petrograd?" ”

"Nope." "At present, there are 2 German Panzer Divisions, 3 French Panzer Divisions, 1 Hungarian Panzer Division near Petrograd, and 4 Panzer Divisions are also being prepared to be transferred from the battlefields of Belarus and Little Russia. ”

"The personnel of 4 armored divisions?"

"Only the men, tanks and all the equipment were brought in from the stocks," Hirschman explained, "effectively amounting to four new armored divisions." ”

Germany today is really big compared to history, and the No. 4 tank, Tiger tank and Rhino anti-tank destroyer stored in the warehouse alone are enough to equip 5 armored divisions.

"Is there enough gas?" Hitler hurriedly asked, "Do we have so much gasoline?" ”

Hersman shook his head and said, "It's not enough, but you can deduct the amount from other places...... With an extra 500,000 tons of gasoline, you can launch a surprise attack on Moscow. ”

The plan for an attack on Moscow was still in the gestation stage - Hersmann's plan for an offensive in the direction of Stalingrad, as laid down in the Purple Plan, had to be cancelled because of the Leningrad accident and the excessive fuel consumption of the front-line troops (too much gasoline burned by the Battle of the Junction and the subsequent maneuver).

However, Guderian and the people in the Operational Directorate of the General Staff are now on the rise, eager to end the Soviet Union in 1943. So after not having enough fuel to hit Stalingrad, a more fuel-efficient offensive line was taken. Assault on Moscow from near Petrograd, where the railway line was repaired after the siege of Leningrad, so there was a railway available from Baltic to Lyuban. What really needs to be burned gasoline is more than 500 kilometers from Lyuban to Moscow, and the Tiger G tank can be reached with two refueling.

And how great the strategic significance of taking Moscow is, even people who do not know anything about military politics know.

Now it's not a Soviet-German war, it's a war between White Russia and Red Russia! For the majority of Russians, this was a civil war, and it was only the White Russian Empress who borrowed the troops of the reactionaries of various European countries.

The political economy of the Soviet Union or Russia has always revolved around the "two capitals", and if Leningrad and Moscow are lost, the general trend of Red Russia will go.

In this way, the more than one million Red Army troops currently surrounded will surely defect, and with these more than one million troops, the civil war in Soviet Russia will most likely turn into a real civil war -- and the White Russian government will not need much assistance from the German and French armies.

"No, this won't work!" Hitler's head shook like a rattle, "This is a completely apolitically denominated plan!" Now is not the time to destroy the USSR! We need the USSR now! ”

Hersmann laughed when he heard this, he actually understood some of Hitler's thoughts, Hitler only wanted the land of the Soviet Union, not the people of the Soviet Union. Now although he is trapped by Olga and has to melt into Russia, it is good to melt one less Russian.

As Olga said in the Open Letter, population is power! If the Soviet Union is gone in a few months, then 100 million Soviet people have become European people, what will the Germans do? The Germans now claim to be 100 million, but in fact there are more than 90 million at most, almost half of the Russians!

This is going to melt in, and the Germans can't catch up with the number of Russians even if they go home to have children even if they immediately stop fighting.

Thinking of the population, Hitler looked at Hersmann with admiration - Hersmann was the "glorious father" and had seven children with Chloe, all of whom were blond and blue-eyed Supermen! Hitler, on the other hand, was ashamed of the German nation, and he did not even have a child at his age.

Fortunately, Eva was still young, and Hitler thought to himself, when the world war was won, he must have a few more little Hitlers with Eva for the German nation......

Seeing that Hitler's expression was a little strange, Hersmann thought that he was worried about how to help tens of millions of Russians get together together, so he smiled and comforted Hitler and said: "Mr. Chancellor, the Soviet Union is not so fragile, and Moscow is not so easy to fight."

According to our reconnaissance, Moscow has been preparing for war since mid-June, with millions of men busy building fortifications every day, and it is estimated that there will be a lot of supplies, so it is impossible for us to take Moscow before the autumn muddy season arrives.

Thus, in the finalized plan, the attack on Moscow was merely an act of intimidation aimed at shaking the morale of the Soviet Red Army, which was still fighting in Warsaw, Minsk, Kharkov, the Crimean peninsula and Petrograd. ”

The size of the Moscow metropolitan area is larger than Petrograd, and as the first capital of the Soviet Union, it is not a border city, and it is a key city in the three five-year plans of the Soviet Union. So there are more solid buildings to lean on than in Petrograd!

In addition, with the lesson of starvation in Leningrad, Moscow's material reserves must be very sufficient to cope with a long siege.

Therefore, it is very difficult to take Moscow by surprise attack and siege, and the Wehrmacht is planning an offensive only to create the illusion that Moscow is about to fall, and to induce the Red Army in Petrograd, Minsk, Kharkiv (the city is not completely occupied), Crimea, and Warsaw to surrender.

Hitler understood what the Wehrmacht General Staff envisioned, but he said to Hersmann in a very serious tone: "Reich Marshal, we didn't think about capturing Leningrad when we were besieging it, did we?" ”

Hersman nodded. It is not clear whether Guderian and Quchellel thought about taking Petrograd, but he certainly did not think about it himself.

"But Leningrad still became Petrograd!" Hitler suddenly shouted, "So I don't want to see Moscow turn into a second Petrograd!" We must give Stalin enough time to transfer the population...... Central Asia, Siberia and the Far East, which are very empty, are good places to build a GCIST paradise, you know? ”

Hitler wanted to drive the Russians as far as possible to Siberia, Central Asia and the Far East.

In the original history, when the Soviet Union collapsed, the five countries of Central Asia had a population of more than 50 million, Siberia had a population of more than 40 million, and the Far East had a population of several million. Combined, there are about 100 million people.

That is, in Central Asia, Siberia and the Far East, there is still a lot of potential that can be tapped in the issue of carrying the population of Russia.

"I understand!" Hersman also put away his smile and replied seriously, "There will be tens of millions of Russians who will go to Central Asia, Siberia and the Far East to build GCISM, I promise." ”

"In 1943, our army could not get too close to Moscow!" Hitler made another demand. "They should stay 50 kilometers away from the Kremlin."

"Okay." Hersmann agreed to Hitler's request. Fearing Stalin's escape, he didn't dare to get his troops too close to Moscow.

"Replace Quchelel!" Hitler went on to say, "Replace someone who listens to you." ”

Hersman had already planned this, saying: "I will let Admiral Paulus command the attack on Moscow, he is a very reliable general." ”

In order to ensure that the Battle of Moscow was foolproof, Hersman felt that the unlucky Paul had been activated. Paulus was promoted to general of infantry after the surrender of the British mainland in early '43, and now he is the head of the Wehrmacht Army Armaments Bureau, and has been busy finalizing the E-50 tank for several months.

"Very well, Paulus should be the right person." Hitler was more reassuring to know that Paulus had always been a henchman of Hersmann, and that he was not a good general—if it had been replaced by such fierce generals as Manstein and Moder, Hitler and Hersmann would probably not be able to sleep.
