"Long live the Führer, your decision is incomparably noble and correct, my loyalty to the Führer is evident from the sun and the moon, and the heavens can be seen, and as for the great and holy Führer who has put me in command of the French campaign, and I am grateful for my trust in the Führer, for which I will vouch with honour that I will bring great victories and supreme honour to Germany."

"Okay, okay, my little turnip head, I am convinced of your abilities, tell me your request, and I will do my best to meet your request."

"Long live the Führer, if I want to achieve the goal of the French campaign, I need three million troops, and the two million Wehrmacht troops deployed in front of the Maginot Line and the one million SS troops we have just formed are exactly three million, which can be used to carry out the French campaign plan, but in this way, we will be empty internally, we need to transfer about one million troops from the Soviet Union back to Germany for mobile use, and the excuse for these troops to return home is to rest, and we can use the rotation system, This would also allow the soldiers at the front to get ample vacation opportunities, and at the same time give Germany the decision to reserve troops, killing two birds with one stone.

The arrangement of troops is about some arrangements in the Soviet Union, the great Führer, you also know, Army Group South has a total of one million SS troops, we have to defend the Soviet army in Stalingrad on the one hand, and on the other hand, we have to send a large number of troops to encircle Moscow, which is really beyond the ability of the SS, but at this time Germany has no troops to reinforce Army Group South, so I want to use the SS troops of some of our newly joined EU countries, although the quality of these troops needs to be improved, But they hated the Stalin regime very much, and they were still able to fight to the death, and besides, I would arrange for them to defend, so that we could make up for the lack of our troops. ”

In the second half of what Zhang Jun said, not only solved the problem of insufficient SS troops, but also took advantage of the situation to get Hitler to agree to Zhang Jun's justifiable use of the Ukrainian SS and the Russian SS, and now it also includes the Georgian SS and the Azerbaijani SS, the total strength of these four SS armies has exceeded 1.5 million people, Zhang Jun only needs to arrange these SS troops in the front defense of Stalingrad, and Zhang Jun is leaving 200,000 SS troops as the mobile force of these troops. It is completely possible to prepare for a possible offensive in the direction of Stalingrad.

"Well, I agree with you."

……

Zhang Jun successfully defused the crisis faced by the SS with a completely new plan, but Zhang Jun's crime of falsifying strategic documents, if it happened, it would be a heinous crime, of course, if Germany won, then there is nothing to do, everything depends on how the French campaign commanded by Zhang Jun is fought.

Of course, the specific plan of the "French campaign" was refined and detailed by those professional staff officers of the General Staff, and the detailed plan formulated by these staff officers was of course refined according to Zhang Jun's French campaign plan.

Although Zhang Jun did not participate in the detailed work of the plan, but Zhang Jun was not easy, now Zhang Jun has been authorized by the Führer, can draw all the manpower and financial resources to prepare the French campaign plan, of course, the stored tanks and planes produced during this period were emptied by Zhang Jun, Zhang Jun did not send these weapons to the SS, but to the Wehrmacht, the SS weapons and equipment are still mainly from Poland and Ukraine, and it is also possible to appropriately get some money to the SS, although the Wehrmacht has some opinions, But there won't be much backlash, because those tanks and planes are indeed for the Wehrmacht.

Moder was temporarily seconded to the Stalingrad Front, and his position was the commander of the Stalingrad Front. Modell is one of them. In the later stages of the war, where there was a crisis, Moder appeared wherever there was a crisis, and was deeply used by Hitler, who repeatedly turned the tide and delayed the time of the Nazi demise, and was called Hitler's "firefighter". Because of his excellent defensive ability, he is known as a 'defensive genius'. Widely regarded as a master of defense, Moder was the most capable general of Nazi Germany in the latter part of World War II, and when he was promoted to field marshal, Army Group Center had 15 generals with seniority above him. Modell was awarded the title of Master of Defense for having commanded three defensive campaigns on the Eastern Front, including the Rzhev salient.

At the same time, Moder was also a man who dared to argue for the truth, and during the "Typhoon" war, Moder quarreled with Hitler for the first time. On 20 January, Moder flew to the "Wolf's Lair" and requested the support of an additional army group. Although Hitler agreed to reinforcements, he ordered the army group to assemble at Gzatsk, northeast of Vyazma, while Moder insisted on the breakthrough of the counteroffensive at Rzhev, where reinforcements had to be assembled. The two quarreled fiercely over this. Moder was disgusted by Hitler's blind intervention in the actions of the Army, and sneered: "Who is in command of the 9th Army, my Führer, you or me?" "He was confident that he knew the situation at the front better than Hitler, who relied only on maps. Hitler was shocked and finally agreed to Moder's plan. Moder believed that if a commander loses his autonomy and is tied to orders, he can only fight a smooth battle at best, but he can never win a tough battle, a bad battle.

Of course, Zhang Jun will not interfere with Moder's command, Zhang Jun only needs to hand over 150 newly formed Ukrainian SS, Russian SS, Georgian SS, Azerbaijani SS, a total of 1.5 million plus 200,000 German SS mobile troops, including an armored corps, to Moder.

As for Rommel, the deputy commander-in-chief, there is a more important job, originally Rommel was an offensive general, and Moder was a defensive general. Rommel temporarily commanded all the armies of Army Group South on the entire Soviet front, while Rommel himself led the German SS 750,000 people, plus more than 300,000 EU coalition troops, along the Rostov railway to attack the southern gateway of Moscow, Liangzan, and after occupying Liangzan, he sent troops to the north to attack the two cities of Gorky and Ivanovo, from Liangzan to Ivanovo about 600 kilometers, of course, the SS could not arrange a continuous defensive line, but the SS had strong armored forces, It is perfectly possible to arrange ring fortifications not far from each other, and the armored forces are the link between them. There is no way to do this.

This kind of continuous distance ring fortification has advantages and disadvantages, the advantage is that it can hold off the Soviet troops attacking from all directions, and the disadvantage is that the SS must ensure sufficient armored mobile forces, and at the same time the air force must at least obtain the advantage of being able to protect its own armored forces, which is the minimum requirement.

Although Vincent's more than 100,000 SS troops were the dead soldiers inserted by Zhang Jun and Rommel into the Soviet Union to attract Soviet troops and firepower, Zhang Jun still did not intend to give up, and he must do his best to help Vincent.

Soon Zhang Jun began to act, and all the 300 B-29 strategic bombers in Germany were transferred, although Germany copied the B-29 very early, so far only more than 100 have been built, and all of these B-29s have been misappropriated, either air early warning aircraft or air tankers, so Germany has always only had 300 B-29 aircraft used to carry out transport and bombing missions.

It's not that Germany's production capacity can't do it, but Germany's resources can't build the B-29 on a large scale, and Germany must use its limited resources to build other aircraft, such as the "Sixth Master" and the Shanzhai Type 99 tank.

There is another thing that makes Zhang Jun happy, that is, Germany's air refueling technology has also made new breakthroughs, Germany's modified "six masters" of an aviation regiment that can carry out air refueling, can already perform combat missions, this surprise came so suddenly, Zhang Jun began to engage in air refueling aircraft in 37 years, and it took three years, and the origin of air refueling technology is still relatively early.

In-flight refueling stems from the bold actions of an adventurer. In 1921, the American Willy? Carrying a 20-liter fuel tank on his back, Maye climbed from the wing of one aircraft to the wing of another aircraft in flight, and poured the tank of aviation fuel into the fuel tank of the aircraft. Since then, this has sparked enthusiasm for human research on aerial refueling technology. Two years later, the first air tanker was created in the United States. On August 27, 1923, the first aerial refueling test in the history of human aviation was completed over San Diego Bay, USA. At that time, the two planes were flying in formation, and a hose more than 10 meters long hung down from the plane flying above the front, and the pilot in the back seat of the plane behind stood up and grabbed the hose with his hand and connected it to the fuel tank of his plane, and the whole process was operated manually.

Now that he has finally come out, how can he not let Zhang Jun be ecstatic, you must know that now the United Kingdom has developed the "Meteor" jet aircraft, and the United States has developed the P59 jet aircraft, the jet aircraft can easily fly to an altitude of more than 10,000 meters, and the ceiling of the B-29 is only 10,500 meters, in this case, even if the B-29 defense is super strong, it is by no means the opponent of the jet, and the German B-29 can not withstand huge losses.

Well, now that the "six masters" with air refueling capabilities escort these baby bumps, Zhang Jun can guarantee that the whole of Europe will be within the bombing range of his B-29, needless to say in the British mainland, and even the British and French bases in Africa and the Middle East are within the bombing range of the B-29.

Zhang Jun, who learned of this good news, hurriedly ordered to speed up the modification and training, so that more "six masters" can be refueled in the air, and the "six masters" produced in the future will also be produced in full accordance with the technical standards that can be refueled in the air.

Zhang Jun mobilized 300 B-29s and a "Liuye" aviation regiment that could refuel in the air, and began to prepare to send weapons, equipment and ammunition to Vincent...... (To be continued.) )
