Chapter 430: Legal Recognition

The Eastern Front battlefield is fighting fiercely every day, although the German attack has not slowed down, but the German army's advance speed has been reduced, the results are also decreasing, and the Soviet army has gradually overcome the initial panic. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

The Soviet army also gradually adapted to the German blitzkrieg, of course, this was inseparable from the huge amount of British and American aid, and thousands of Soviet young men were drafted into the army every moment, and after a short training period, they were sent to the battlefield.

Although the Soviet army is still in the rout, the speed of the rout has slowed down a lot, and some Soviet troops can even fight on a par with the elite German troops, if it were not for the passive situation of the Soviet army in the overall strategic situation, the German front may be stopped.

It has been almost three months since the start of the war, and the German army has advanced 600 kilometers closer to the territory of the Soviet Union, annihilated more than 5 million Soviet troops, and captured about 3 million, but the Soviet Union is not short of men or weapons.

Faced with such a situation, Rommel was mentally prepared, which is why he insisted on attacking Stalingrad and Leningrad without dividing his forces in the middle period, and more than 3 million German troops and their more than 2 million servant troops continued to attack Moscow from three directions.

Rommel knew that it was time for him to go to the former enemy's general headquarters, and most of the affairs in the country had already been arranged, even if there were some things in the country that could not be decided, he could send a telegram to the former enemy's general headquarters for instructions.

The Führer Rommel was busy, his women were also busy, and Anna, the daughter of the Habsburg family, held and participated in various parties every day with the halo of the Führer's official girlfriend, and the traditional nobles of the whole Europe began to appear at Anna's banquets one after another.

Many of the family histories of the traditional European aristocracy can be traced back hundreds of years, or even thousands, and these European nobles are inextricably linked to the Holy Roman Empire, and the Habsburgs are the royal family of the Holy Roman Empire.

The Habsburgs were already working to put Rommel on the throne of the Holy Roman Empire, and Rommel knew about Anna's girlfriend's actions, but Rommel did not stop Anna.

Why didn't Rommel stop Anna? That's for a reason, not that Rommel wanted to be the emperor of the Holy Roman Empire, but that Rommel needed to integrate Europe de jure and that industrial integration of Europe would not bring the people of the occupying powers to their hearts.

Yes, it was to integrate Europe legally, Germany occupied most of the whole of Europe, and although Rommel used all kinds of gentle means to rule these occupied countries, the people of those occupied countries still regarded the German army as an aggressor.

Even if these people were obedient when the German army was strong, as soon as Germany had the slightest strategic decline, then these people would immediately rise up against the German occupation and domination.

In this case, the Holy Roman Empire is the best choice only in terms of national identity, which is a country that has ruled most of Europe for nearly a thousand years, and Europeans generally identify with the Holy Roman Empire.

Now that the Habsburgs, a royal family, have come forward to lobby the traditional aristocracy, there will not be much resistance to the restoration of the Holy Roman Empire. (Ethnic identity aside, Europe's ethnic composition is too complex to be addressed.) )

The reason why Germany launched two world wars in a row is only one of the reasons why Germany wants to open up strategic space, the main reason is that Germany has always wanted to restore the glory of the Holy Roman Empire, which is the dream of all Germans.

If Rommel wanted to restore the Holy Roman Empire, then all Germans would raise their hands in favor, that is, there would be no resistance in Germany to restore the Holy Roman Empire.

Why did the Habsburgs work so hard to restore the Holy Roman Empire?

The most direct reason must be the benefit, once Germany restores the Holy Roman Empire, then it will be Führer Rommel who will sit on the throne of the emperor, and the empress will definitely be Anna, the daughter of the Habsburg family.

Rommel and Anna's children were the rightful heirs to the Holy Roman Empire, and there was no need for any other reason for the Habsburgs, who had dreamed of restoring the Holy Roman Empire.

(The succession to the throne in Europe is different from that in China, which can be inherited by both men and women, and the same is true for the queen's son.) )

……

The Soviet armored assault group attacked very well, the fourth line of defense was run over, and then rushed towards the third line of defense, because the Soviet troops were mostly light tanks and were too fast, so the Soviet infantry was left behind for a long distance.

This Soviet armored corps was only transferred from the Far East, and they beat the little Japanese devil crying wolf at Nomenkan, so the morale of this Soviet armored corps was high, and they didn't care about the infantry behind, and they crushed the third line of defense.

"Attention all tanks, charge at full speed, we are going to take advantage of the fact that the German devils have not yet reacted, we are going to send this group of damned devils to hell, all for Stalin, comrades rush ah!!"

"Ulla...... Ula ......"

"All for Stalin......"

Well, the German army's slogan is everything for Germany, and the Soviet army's slogan is everything for Stalin, one for the country and the other for the individual.

Since the outbreak of the Soviet-German war, the largest tank battle is about to break out. If Nikolai's armored corps is fully formed, it will be more than a thousand tanks, but Nikolai's armored troops are not enough.

In January 1940, the Soviet Army decided to reorganize large-scale tank forces - mechanized corps, independent tank divisions, and independent motorized divisions.

By the time the Soviet-German war broke out, the Soviet army had formed a total of 29 mechanized corps, and the scale was there, but under the conditions at that time, it was difficult to effectively command such a large force, especially the Soviet tanks were not equipped with radios, so it was even more difficult to command the tank group.

Compared with the German Panzer Division of the same period, the Soviet tank division had 1.5 times more tanks than the German Panzer Division (equipped with 152 tanks) with 2 battalion tank regiments, and nearly half more than the German Panzer Division with 3 battalion tank regiments (equipped with 207 tanks).

Even the number of tanks in the motorized division of the Soviet army was more than 1/4 more than that of the armored division of the German army with a 3-battalion tank regiment. However, the gap in the quality of personnel (especially for middle- and lower-ranking officers) and communications equipment between the two sides makes the gap in command effectiveness obvious.

Moreover, most of the mechanized corps formed by the Soviet Army in the spring of 1940 had intermediate commanders accounting for only 20%~40% of the establishment when the war broke out, which aggravated the difficulty of command.

In addition, at the beginning of the war, the mechanized armies of several border military districts were equipped with an average of only 53 percent of the total number of tanks, and the proportion of new tanks was very small. It was under this circumstance that the Soviet mechanized army was thrown into the unprecedented battle of the Soviet-German war.

The same is true of Nikolai's Panzer Corps, the tank hunting rate of the entire army is more than 50%, so Nikolai's armor only has more than 500 tanks, most of which are light tanks, only a small number of T26 and Sherman medium tanks, which are not at the same level as German tanks at all.
