The alarm bell rang suddenly, and Ouyang Jian got up with a carp. The guard Xiao Yang had already prepared a wash of face water and waited, Ouyang Jian washed his face with two handfuls of three, then drank a glass of milk, ate a piece of pastry, and then picked up his briefcase and left in a hurry. Last night, he wandered in the Run's house and left late at night. The current world situation is changing, and if Runzhi wants to understand and grasp it in detail, he naturally needs Ouyang Jian to provide fierce information, which has become a routine.

The military meeting was personally presided over by Zhu De, and Runzhi made a report on the situation: "Comrades, the world situation is changing, and it can be said that there is a great tendency for Mount Tai to be overwhelming. Despite the crisis, the righteous people are waking up, and a worldwide anti-fascist coalition is taking shape. After four years of bloody battles in China's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the great Chinese people not only resisted the frenzied attack of Japanese militarism, but also continued to grow stronger in the Great Patriotic War. I can assert that the delusional attempt of Japanese militarism to annex China has become unrealizable! ”

The audience burst into warm applause. "Comrades! There were signs that the German fascists were about to start a large-scale war against Soviet Russia, and the Japanese fascists were about to start a Pacific war. On the surface, the demons are dancing and the fascists are rampant to the extreme, but we think that this is the limit of the last madness of the fascists. There is much help for the righteous, but little help for the unjust. I believe that no matter how difficult it is, the Chinese people and the righteous people of the world will certainly be able to defeat the powerful enemy until they achieve a great victory in the anti-fascist war! ”

Applause rang out again. "Comrades, China's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression went through difficult and dangerous and bloody battles, and finally through the victory of the Battle of Zhongtiao Mountain, which laid the pattern on the Chinese battlefield, the Japanese army was no longer able to launch a large-scale campaign, and the enemy and us entered a long-term stalemate stage. It can be said that China's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression was not fought alone, but was about to become the main battlefield of the world's anti-fascist war in the East. Some may think that this conclusion is premature, but the facts will soon be in front of everyone. ”

"Comrades, we are standing at a critical juncture in history, and whether we can seize the opportunity given to us by history and once again rise as the Chinese nation among the nations of the world will be the greatest test for us. How to continue to grow stronger in the face of hardship and how to enhance our overall strength with the help of the world's anti-fascist forces is our main task in the future. Next, I would like to invite Chief of General Staff Ouyang to give a detailed explanation of the changing situation in the world and our future military deployment. ”

In the warm applause, Ouyang Jian walked onto the podium and solemnly raised his hands to salute. "Comrades, the world situation is changing, just as the chairman's strategic prediction from a high vantage point, we have ushered in the greatest opportunity in history. How to seize the opportunity to enable the Chinese nation to completely shake off hardship and humiliation and rise again is a serious issue we must face. First of all, I will analyze at the military level why Germany and Japan are targeting Soviet Russia and the United States, and what are the reasons for this? ”

"Comrades, the focus of such changes in Germany and Japan is on the United States. The United States, as the most economically powerful country in the world, is a huge obstacle for Germany and Japan that cannot be pleasant. Let us now begin with the relations between Germany and the United States, Germany was invincible in Europe, but Britain did not give in and, with the full assistance of the United States, crushed the German military offensive. The Battle of Great Britain shattered the German plans to land on the British Isles.

"According to general military common sense, the Germans should concentrate all their efforts on landing on the British Isles, why did Germany not do this, extending the Sea Lion plan indefinitely, but opening up the Eastern Front. Any military strategist will question that fighting on both the eastern and western fronts is a taboo. The fact that the Germans actually took risks is a consideration of a combination of factors. From 39 to 41 years ago, that is, this year, the German army's strategy on the Western Front has always been difficult. ”

"At first, the Germans implemented the Sea Lion plan at the same time as they also sent troops to North Africa. Trying to break through in the Atlantic, North Africa, and the Mediterranean, its strategic intention is to directly occupy LinkedIn territory, force the British government to retreat to Canada on the other side of the ocean, and remove the direct military threat from the Atlantic. The possibility of the United States and Britain opening up a second battlefield should be eliminated to the greatest extent. Because crossing the Atlantic is not the same as crossing the English Channel. Ouyang Jian talked eloquently, not looking at the materials in his hand at all.

"If Germany were to capture the British Isles, it could use its advanced industrial production capacity to serve Germany and then embark on a new military adventure. The middle strategy is to occupy Malta and Gibraltar, completely control the Mediterranean, eliminate the British threat in the Mediterranean, connect the French colonies of North Africa with the European continent, and with the strong technical support of the European continent, open up the Asian and African continents, control the Middle East, and break through the British blockade. ”

"The next strategy is to use the French colony of North Africa to risk military operations in North Africa under the control of Britain in the Mediterranean, in an attempt to open up the Asian and African continents on land, occupy the Suez Canal, control the Middle East, and connect Europe, Asia and Africa into one, and carry out counter-encirclement against Britain in the Mediterranean. The reason why this move was the next policy was because the Mediterranean controlled by Britain suffered great losses in transporting war materials to North Africa, and most of the materials could not reach North Africa, which greatly restricted the operations of the German mechanized troops in North Africa. ”

"Hitler had always wanted to do something on the Western Front, to completely or at least to some extent eliminate the British threat, but the Germans were useless, and the Axis powers did not achieve any strategic goals on the three fronts. Now we can see how terrible the lockdown in the UK was. There are two decisive aspects here: one is that Britain is in a strategic position, taking advantage of the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea. It was possible to inflict surgical strikes on the German-occupied territories at will. ”

"You can choose the right place to land and open up the second battlefield at the right time as you see fit. Second, it made it impossible for Germany to obtain strategic materials from the sea route, in other words, even if Germany spent money to buy materials from the United States or other countries, Britain could not let these materials enter the European continent, and the same materials could enter Britain, which was extremely unfavorable to Germany's long-term strategy, which is why the German army tried its best to occupy the British Isles. ”

"There was no hope that Germany would defeat Britain, and it had to take into account another important factor - the United States. The United States has signed the Atlantic Treaty with European countries, but in fact it has regarded Germany as the most dangerous enemy, and the two countries are already in a state of hostility, and the war between the United States and Germany is about to break out. The United States was primarily concerned with Japan, while Germany was reluctant to confront the United States until Britain had not yielded. ”

"The Battle of Great Britain launched by the Germans witnessed the combat capability of the British Air Force. In addition, the German army's thinking on army building attaches great importance to the development of the army, and to launch a landing operation, it must have a strong naval and air combat capability. The Luftwaffe had no problems, but the German Navy was very backward in development, and its fleet was simply not able to support landing operations. Especially with the strong support of the United States, the German army was no longer able to capture Britain, and the strategic plan to break the British blockade by conventional means was completely aborted. ”

"It can be said that Hitler was a fanatical warmonger, and in this case his gaze quickly shifted eastward. If we look at Germany at a strategic level, it is not difficult to see that the options are very narrow. However, there are two points: one is to enter the Middle East through Greece and Turkey and strike at British power from the back. Turkey's relations with Germany, like those between Spain, Sweden and Germany, were pro-German but refused to get involved in the war. ”

This semi-allied relationship made it impossible to occupy Turkey militarily, and its entry into Asia through Turkey would also lead to a head-on conflict with Soviet Russia, and an attack on supply lines from Turkey would inevitably pass through the complicated Balkans, which would not be as convenient as attacking the Soviet Union, which is why Hitler turned his attention to Soviet Russia. Maybe the people here think that the Soviet-German paper contract is so difficult that it is not binding? Would the powerful Soviet Russia be afraid of a German attack? ”

"First of all, the contract is just a meaningless legal provision, and in today's world, where civilization is trampled on and right and wrong are confused, the so-called contract is just a buffer for each other's interests, including the non-infringement treaty between the Soviet Union and Japan. It can be said that when Germany wants to tear up the treaty, it is enough to find a reason. Not long ago, Germany and several European countries signed the first article, in fact, it tore up the treaty between the Soviet Union and Germany in disguise. ”

Ouyang Jian took a sip of tea and continued: "Some people may ask, Soviet Russia has a vast territory and strong political, military, and economic strength, and if the German army attacks Soviet Russia, it is beyond its strength!" Let's take a closer look at why Hitler dared to set his sights on Soviet Russia, and why Stalin was worried about the Germans' intentions. There are many reasons for this, but there are two points that are the most prominent, and I will explain the situation in Soviet Russia in detail, maybe you can clearly know the answer. ”
