The central and left flank armies of the 2nd Belorussian Front launched an offensive in the general direction of Stettin from the landing grounds on the Vistula north of Blomberg. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

In the difficult conditions of mud and forest-lake land, the 2nd Belorussian Front advanced about 30 kilometers in some directions by the end of the day on 19 February, but was immediately stopped by Genev and Chersk.

To crush the German East Pomeranian group, which had 29 infantry and 3 tank divisions, 3 motorized divisions and a large number of independent units, it was not enough to rely on the forces of the 2nd Belorussian Front.

Thus, the 1st Belorussian Front and the 1st Polish Army were also ordered to participate in this campaign.

The plan of the headquarters of the Supreme Command of the Soviet Army was to divide the East Pomeranian Group by two assaults on the left flank of the 2nd Belorussian Front from the area north of Tempelburg in the direction of Ksling, and with the 1st Belorussian Front from the Arnswald area to Kolberg, and then annihilate each of them.

Despite the complication of the situation, the two Soviet fronts were able to complete their preparations for the offensive within the scheduled deadline.

The Soviet High Command, with its small general superiority, constituted the necessary superiority in the main assault directions.

For example, in the 2nd Belorussian Front, reinforced by the 19th Army and the 3rd Guards Tank Army on the eve of the offensive, the Soviets created an advantage of almost 2 times more infantry, 1 times more tanks and 2 times more artillery in a zone 17 km wide in the main assault direction.

The assault 2nd Army, within the 5th Belorussian Front, also launched an offensive. After breaking through the defenses and crushing the stubborn resistance of the German army, the Soviets advanced on 5 March in the areas of Ksling and Kolberg.

The 2nd Belorussian Front attacked in the north-east direction and the 1st Belorussian Front in the north-west direction.

The 16th and 4th armies of the Air Force and the 4th Division of the Polish mixed aviation carried out intensive assaults on German troops and military targets. By 10 March, the 1st Belorussian Front had been largely liberated along the Oder estuary, with the exception of the Kolberg area, which was held by the large German garrison.

The campaign to destroy the German forces there was carried out by the 1st Belorussian Army, but the army was unable to complete its mission, and the Oder River was in a state of fierce fighting.

The 2nd Belorussian Front was also met with desperate resistance from the Russian Liberation Army, which had been reinforced by the Russian Liberation Army, and the more than two million offensive troops organized by Stalin could not advance an inch.

The Soviets and Germans fought fiercely on the Oder River for more than ten days, and the time soon came to mid-March, the ice and snow began to melt, the roads became more muddy, and the Soviet logistics simply could not support the huge attrition on the front.

Rommel had rested more than two million elite troops, the weapons and personnel of each unit had been replenished, and the train from Berlin to the Soviet front line carried countless German soldiers, and the Armageddon of the Soviet-German war was about to begin after the beginning of spring.

……

The Berlin Palace, which now houses the residence of His Majesty Rommel, has 500 hectares of park and 150 buildings built between 1730 and 1916.

The Berlin Palace is a combination of a palace and a garden, thus forming a sub-artistic system, with the only feeling of eclectic naturalness, and the palace and garden connecting the Havre River with Lake Glenique.

Rommel became Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire, and the benefit was this palace, which was built by the Wilhelm royal family, and after the abdication of the Kaiser, it was owned by the state, and is now presented to His Majesty Rommel by the German Assembly free of charge.

Of course, Rommel's two wives also lived here, and the queen was a Habsburg? Anna, Elsa did not have the title of wife, but Rommel gave her the title of the head of the Berlin Palace.

Elsa is Jewish after all, and European countries are more or less anti-Semitic, so Elsa can't appear too much in public.

But the Holy Roman Empire needed the support of the Jews, and Rommel, the new Holy Roman Emperor, could only use this secret marriage.

Although Rommel's marriage was political, both of his wives were virtuous and loyal, and both of them were very capable.

Elsa, for example, is in charge of hundreds of companies and billions of dollars in assets, which are well organized by Elsa and make a lot of profits.

Because of her strong family background, Queen Anna has many traditional nobles in Europe who give Anna face, and Queen Anna has become a bridge between Rommel and the traditional European aristocracy.

The Holy Roman Empire has just been restored, and Rommel must have a lot of work, but Rommel has a lot of talented people under him, and even those traditional nobles are scrambling to come up and do things.

Rommel didn't know what these people were capable of, so he didn't appoint officials randomly, but fortunately, European countries had a democratic system very early on, and if they wanted to do something, they would go to the elections.

Rommel has always believed that absolute power leads to absolute corruption, so Rommel will not interfere in local elections, nor will he change elections by appointment.

So what right does Rommel grasp! As long as the central authorities control these three things, they can control a country, and if they have a correct economic policy, it will be difficult for the country to be unstable and develop.

The above are only the internal factors of a country, and if the Holy Roman Empire wants to develop rapidly in a long-term manner, external factors are also one of the indispensable factors, and they are very important factors.

Now the United States will not look for trouble with the Holy Roman Empire in a short period of time, because they have more than two million prisoners of war in Rommel's hands, and the United States does not dare to be presumptuous.

The biggest trouble for the Holy Roman Empire to develop its economy was actually Britain, to be precise, Britain's powerful navy.

The Holy Roman Empire could not avoid the seas if it wanted to export goods, and the British navy controlled most of the world's seas, which undoubtedly put a shackle around the neck of the Holy Roman Empire.

The Holy Roman Empire must smash this yoke as soon as possible, otherwise the Holy Roman Empire will not be able to import and export goods.

Could it be that Rommel wanted to act against Britain and the USSR at the same time, wouldn't that be a two-front war?

Rommel really thought so, the use of troops against the Soviet Union was the business of the Holy Roman Army and Air Force, and the use of troops against the British Navy was the business of the Holy Roman Navy and naval aviation.

Rommel did not want to launch a landing operation against Britain this year, he just wanted to weaken the British navy as soon as possible, so as to prepare for a future landing in Britain.

Rommel was not too familiar with the navy if he wanted to take the initiative to attack the British navy, so he gave this task to the commander of the navy, Field Marshal Dönitz.

Rommel has always been like this, he never interferes in the affairs of the front-line commander, he is only responsible for drawing up the strategic objectives, as for how to implement it, it is the business of the front-line commander.

Dönitz gladly accepted the order, and as soon as he received Rommel's order, he began to work on a campaign plan.
