Chapter 356: Doubtful Believe

In 1942, the Germans attacked the Volga and the Caucasus at the same time, but as a result, the forces were scattered, and neither of the two strategic goals was achieved; The Battle of Stalingrad threw entire divisions and regiments of elite German field troops into the meat grinder of the city, causing a large number of casualties. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

After the Sixth Army was surrounded, it was not allowed to retreat and was completely annihilated by the Soviet army; The offensive period of the Battle of Kursk was first dragged on and on, and turned into a forced offensive positional station instead of a blitzkrieg; Later, at the most critical moment of the war, several elite SS Panzer Divisions on the Southern Front were transferred to deal with the Allied landing in Italy, resulting in the loss of the last hope of winning the Battle of Bastion.

After the Battle of Kursk, the defeat of the German army was more constrained by the extreme inferiority of the army and equipment, and quite a lot of the time it was to tear down the east wall and make up the west wall.

It is undeniable that many erroneous operational decisions made by Germany in World War II were the main reason for the heavy losses suffered by the German army, and if the German army's operational command system could operate soundly and without interference, the German army's achievements should have been even better.

Rommel must try his best to avoid the strategic mistakes made by Germany in history, and he must not repeat the mistakes of the past, and this is the advantage of the traverser.

4. Armament:

Although the German weapons were excellent, the quality was not comparable to the quantity, and in the end they might have to be submerged in the wolf pack tactics of the T34 tank.

The Soviet Union, with the support of Britain and the United States, produced too many tanks, and the Soviet Union also had enough resources to produce tanks wirelessly, but Germany was different, and Germany's various resources were very limited.

It is worth mentioning that Germany already has JU89 at this time, JU89 is a bomber that can carry out long-range bombs, JU89 has a range of 3,000 kilometers and a bomb load of ten tons.

5. Racism:

Historically, at the beginning of the Soviet-German war, the German army was still regarded as liberators, but Hitler's racial policy determined that he could not win over the people of the occupied territories, and the Slavs and Jews were regarded as inferior peoples who had to be exterminated.

Germany's large-scale massacre of Jews and Soviet prisoners of war, the execution of Soviet political commissars, and the anti-guerrilla measures of killing 100 Soviets after the death of a German have completely pushed the Soviets to their hostile side, aroused the will of the Soviet people to resist, and created countless enemies for themselves.

At the previous meeting, Rommel had already told his generals to treat prisoners preferentially, never to use ethnic discrimination policies, and so on, and Hitler's extreme racism was completely rejected and corrected by Rommel before the war.

6. Strategic Resources:

One of Germany's biggest Achilles' heels was its lack of strategic resources, and after losing World War I, it lost all its overseas colonies, and most of the materials needed during the war had to be imported, such as oil from Romania and iron ore from Norway.

Germany now had at its disposal almost all of Europe's industrial production capacity, as well as the inexhaustible resources of Africa, and after Rommel's complete victory in the African campaign, Germany was no longer in danger of being short of resources.

Historically, Germany did not have rubber and enough gasoline, only artificial rubber and artificial gasoline, although the cost was huge, but it could not be done. Therefore, in the Soviet-German war, the plundering of strategic resources will be an important goal of the German army, and to some extent it will also interfere with strategic decision-making.

In the middle of the Barbarossa Plan, Germany suddenly divided its forces to attack Stalingrad in order to seize the Soviet oil fields in Baku, and the result of this was that Germany did not take Stalingrad or Moscow.

Not now, Rommel has completely taken Africa, Germany no longer has the problem of lack of resources, and Germany will not change the direction of strategic offensive for the sake of resources, and this disadvantage has also been completely solved by Rommel.

In short, Rommel solved the difficulties faced by Germany in history and the strategic mistakes it had made, but could Germany take the Soviet Union in one fell swoop? This is not necessarily, the United Kingdom and the United States will not agree, what will be the outcome? That will have to wait and see.

……

Germany's attack on the Soviet Union was the day after tomorrow, there was no need to keep the British spy 007, Rommel gave an order, Canaris immediately closed the net, more than 100 British spies were arrested, the British spy network in Germany was hit hard, and the source of important information for Britain was greatly reduced, which was tantamount to adding insult to injury for Britain that had been defeated repeatedly.

When the news reached Britain, Chamberlain was indifferent to this information, because the peace negotiators sent by Chamberlain were still negotiating in Berlin! Chamberlain had high hopes for peace talks.

Churchill poked his nose at Chamberlain's appeasement, and although Churchill was not the prime minister now, Churchill was still the British Secretary of the Navy and the Minister of Minister, and some of Britain's main war factions were also closely united around Churchill.

It can be said that Churchill at this time, although he was not the prime minister, Churchill's power was still very great, and even Chamberlain, the prime minister, had no choice but to do anything about Churchill.

Chamberlain could have been indifferent to the arrest of 007, the British superspy, but Churchill did not, and Churchill smelled something unusual in the middle.

Why did Germany suddenly arrest 007 at this time? Churchill also did not know why Germany did this, but Churchill could have guessed.

Churchill believed that Germany must have been preparing to act against the Soviet Union, and Churchill did not have any evidence to prove his inference, and he was completely intuitive.

Churchill immediately sent a telegram to Stalin after receiving this inference, in which Churchill told Stalin that Germany would attack the Soviet Union in the near future and asked him to be prepared.

When Stalin received a telegram from Churchill, he was also skeptical, and Stalin really did not believe that Germany would attack the Soviet Union.

According to Stalin's judgment, Germany and the Soviet Union signed the "Soviet-German Non-Aggression Pact", and Germany could not have unilaterally tore up the treaty so quickly! Stalin had heard that Rommel was a very trustworthy man, and he probably wouldn't have done that!

Moreover, Germany is mobilizing heavy troops to exercise on the Romanian border at this time! Germany should not launch an attack on the USSR in the near future.

Stalin judged on the basis of these two points, so Stalin was suspicious of the news of Germany's imminent attack on the Soviet Union.

But Stalin was not stupid, after all, Germany had millions of troops in Poland, and he had to guard against it, so Stalin began to deploy troops to the border a few months ago.

By now, the USSR had deployed 2.9 million people, 32,900 artillery pieces, 14,200 tanks, and 9,200 aircraft in the border areas.

Stalin placed such a powerful force in the border areas, was he afraid of Rommel in Germany? Obviously not afraid, such a powerful deployment of troops is Stalin's dependence.

So Stalin ignored Churchill's reminder, he just conveyed an order to pay attention to the vigilance, and Stalin's eyes continued to stare in the direction of Finland, where there were still more than a million Soviet troops fighting against more than 400,000 Finnish troops!
