In the era when there were no high-tech reconnaissance satellites and no live visual broadcasts, people could not observe what was happening in real time hundreds of kilometers away, and at best they could only speculate and imagine through first-hand information transmitted by radio waves, and it was inevitable that subjective thinking would affect objective inference. In the middle of summer, in the cool Nordic land, the secret base of the "sanctuary" of the Greater German Empire, the generals of the Imperial Guard staged the fierce battles that took place on the European continent. In the face of such intricate and intricate battlefield information, even Rommel, who is quick-thinking and talented, can hardly make an accurate analysis and judgment of the development of the war situation, let alone say whether the US military will use atomic bombs and when, where, and in what quantities. Basically, the generals of the empire saw this great war between the Eastern and Western camps from the perspective of a bystander, with only a handful of exceptions.

Lynn is one of them, perhaps the only one, and his unique thinking is mainly due to two factors: a unique concept of the times, a unique national way of thinking. On the battlefield, he is not a courteous knight, as long as he can win and in order to win, he will not hesitate to cheat and kill cruelly; In Shenghu, he is not a gentleman who follows the rules, and can use any means he thinks is feasible to achieve his goals, and even dares to risk the world's condemnation; At this time, although the Western camp led by the United States and Britain had already fought with the Soviet Union, the hatred between the two sides due to misunderstanding was far from reaching the level of non-extinction of the war -- looking at the military strategies of both sides since the outbreak of the war, Lynn was keenly aware that both sides had consciously reserved leeway: the United States and Britain bombed Moscow "mercilessly", and the ground offensive was even slower like an old woman. This time, although the Soviets found the ideal time to launch a counterattack and were ready to break the arms of the Allies, they did not put on a desperate posture of Saburo, but only wanted the Allies to retreat and finally sit down to settle the dispute through negotiations.

"It's actually quite simple, my Führer!" With his new strategy, Lynn explained in his report to the Führer, "The biggest concern of the Western Allies is that the Soviet Union has mastered nuclear weapons and used them on the battlefield first, and the Soviets know that the nuclear explosion in the Norwegian Sea is the work of other countries, and they are only skeptical of the Allied self-directed trick. The US and British governments will be under tremendous pressure because of the defeat of hundreds of thousands of their soldiers who have been encircled and captured, their morale will be severely damaged, and then they will use a third country to convey their intention to armistice and peace talks in a favorable situation, and the US and British governments will be under tremendous pressure because of such a defeat, and they will most likely accept the Soviet Union's proposal for negotiations and work together to solve a series of mysteries such as the attack on Ras Amos, the assassination of Stalin, and the nuclear explosion in the Norwegian Sea. ”

The Führer's point of view clearly deduced: "How can the Russians, who have always been reckless and arrogant, bear to negotiate with the attackers?" I think their biggest goal now is to completely defeat the Allies, regain lost territory, and occupy Central and Western Europe, all the way to the English Channel. ”

Lynn patiently argued: "If Stalin or someone with a similar personality had led the Soviet army, the war might have been fought in a resolute way, and now the Soviet military and political power is a group of people, and they have differences and even contradictions with each other, so it is difficult to make such a decision that requires great courage, not to mention that the marshal who commanded the army also knows very well that their air force is currently unable to engage in all-out confrontation with the Western allies, and without air supremacy, no matter how strong the army is, it will be in vain." Unless the Allies made a fatal mistake, they would not have been able to reach the English Channel. ”

The Führer pondered for a moment: "According to your meaning, we should find a way to make the two sides more hostile to each other and create irreconcilable contradictions?" ”

"The Führer is worthy of being the Führer, and all of a sudden, I have been thinking about the key point for a long time." Lynn pretended to smile lightly.

The reason why the Führer is the Führer is that he can easily be swayed by others. In the face of Lynn's praise, he looks more like a sixty-year-old man than Adolf in the prime of politicianhood. Hitler jerked out his right fist: "Smash the psychological weakness of the Americans with an atomic bomb!" ”…,

Talking to smart people often saves a lot of effort to explain and communicate, and Lynn also clenched his fingers into a fist: "Yes, my Führer! Hit the enemy's vital point! ”

The early hours of the morning are said to be the best time of the day for the Führer, but it is difficult for others to find such opportunities to report on their work except for close attendants, so Lynn retreated to the twilight of an hour before dinner, and moderate hunger can often stimulate people's mental agility. Judging by the circumstances of this conversation, his choice was undoubtedly wise, and it was evident that the Führer did not follow his train of thought entirely, but found the steps to the exit with his own thinking.

"In addition to creating another false nuclear explosion, or issuing a warning in the name of the Soviet Union・・・・・・ in order to make the U.S. government feel credible, we can also consider using some special means, such as using Spanish relations. However, the Spanish leader is quite stubborn, and he is only willing to do things that are beneficial to his country and his people, and he will not accept those things that are not beneficial or even harmful. Relations with Finland are now largely frozen, and traditional neutral countries such as Switzerland and Sweden are not going to work・・・・・・"

Lynn said softly, "Spain, my Führer, this time it has to be Spain." ”

"Oh, you think so, too?" The Führer murmured, "Spain, Franco, Spain...... Since last summer, they have provided us with a lot of convenience, which shows that they are not mercenary traders, they still value this kind of brotherhood. ”

It's not so much about brotherhood as it is about realistic interests, Lynn said in her heart. Before Mannerheim stepped down, Finland also provided a lot of grain and ore one after another, although it was a bargain, but the price was much more affordable than that of Spain. The Spaniards demanded cash transactions, only receiving pounds, dollars, and precious metals, and received a lot of technical equipment and experts from the imperial side, which greatly enriched their military strength, and during the period between the fall of the Third Reich and the outbreak of the Great War between the Eastern and Western camps, the Franco regime flexibly took advantage of the contradictions between various parties, obtained large sums of aid from the American and British governments, and launched a series of secret transactions with the Soviet Union.

Despite his contempt for the Spanish dictator, Lynn would not say so bluntly, suggesting: "We may be able to find a compromise that will achieve our goals without embarrassing the Spanish leaders." ”

The Führer obviously didn't know enough about Lynn's thoughts, and he thought for a moment: "Let's hear it specifically." ”

"Find a suitable Spanish diplomat, preferably a familiar face who has worked for many years, and let him convey to the American top brass in an unofficial position the 'Soviet warnings' -- if the American military dares to use the atomic bomb in the European theater, this weapon of great destruction will be immediately detonated on American soil." This time, we deliberately did not use media reports, so that the Americans felt that this was indeed the attitude that the Soviet side really wanted to express, and they would be very angry. ”

"That sounds like a good idea, but ...... You were going to coerce the Spanish diplomats to cooperate, and afterwards..." The Führer's reaction was astonishing, or rather reluctant to risk the secret partnership between the Empire and Spain.

"It's better to sacrifice one person than to sacrifice a country." Lynn skillfully persuaded.

The Führer hesitated for a moment with his head propped up at his desk, and finally made up his mind: "Since you have a comprehensive plan, Lynn will leave this operation to you!" Let Hans and the Intelligence Service cooperate fully with you, and I suggest that you seek the advice of the Marshal as to see if he has any good suggestions for this plan. ”

It should not be difficult for Rommel to get through, and Lynn said, "Yes, my Führer!" ”

The Imperial Leader stretched out his hand and rubbed his temples, closed his eyes and asked, "When are you going back to Tromsø?" ”

Lynn replied, "If you have no other orders, the Führer and I are ready to leave the morning after tomorrow." ”

"Because of the British's radar station, this time you can only fly in a submarine?" The Führer asked again.

While pondering the purpose of the Führer's question, Lynn explained: "Yes, this will cause all kinds of inconveniences for some time to come, but forcibly removing or shielding it will arouse the suspicion of the British side, so we have no plans to do it for the time being." ”…,

The Führer rubbed his temples and said slowly: "Judging from the current situation, the Soviet army will achieve an important victory in Eastern Europe, and the American and British troops will inevitably face a shortage of troops, we can take this opportunity to create some illusions of Soviet invasion in Northern Europe, and then ask Oslo to increase troops in the name of the local government and allow the local civil defense forces to be organized, and then donate funds to buy seaplanes and speedboats in private names, what do you think?" ”

Thinking about this suggestion, Lin Enxi was also surprised. After all, it has only been more than a year since the end of World War II, and the Norwegian army is unsatisfactory in terms of size and equipment, even if Oslo is willing to send troops, it can be easily settled, and the organization of civil defense forces is not a precedent, it can allow more imperial soldiers to operate in Tromsø in a grand manner, which is very beneficial to controlling the situation and maintaining order. Surprisingly, the Führer has always had a reputation for interfering in front-line combat deployments, and likes to give orders to commanders at a higher level, often with the opposite effect, and now the only surface base in the Empire is Tromsø County, and he makes "suggestions" on the details like this, and the next time it may be a direct order.

"You've thought it well - if it goes well, it will take our control of Tromsø to a new level!" Lynn's tactics of first raising and then suppressing then analyzed the possibility of an increase in American and British troops in northern Norway in this situation, and the possibility of Bruns's British additional combat troops or American involvement in this area would pose a direct threat to the situation in Tromsø.

Hearing this, the Führer's face, which had just been full of interest, suddenly became gloomy, and he rubbed his temples again, and after thinking for a long time, he had to admit that Lynn's worries were completely justified.

Lynn took advantage of the situation and proposed her own amendment: "To be on the safe side, we should first ask Oslo to send troops to strengthen the border area, and then create an incident such as a Soviet attack on a patrol to induce the Norwegian government to send more troops and allow the formation of a local civil defense force, which should take two or three months, just in time for the cold winter bream." With the wind and snow blocking traffic, we eliminated the Norwegian troops and the British radar stations on the island, making it appear that they were still functioning, and Tromsø had effectively become our independent kingdom - our industrial output would reach a whole new level by the end of the year, and we would begin to manufacture the first firearms. By next spring, the eyes of the world will still be focused on the European continent, and if the United States and Britain continue to decline, there is great hope for the reconstitution of the German team. ”

"Good! Very good! The Führer nodded, "In that case, we can restart our intelligence work in Britain in advance, after all, many of our officers are being held in British prisons, and the secret organization activities in Germany must gradually resume, especially to find a way to win over those American and British officers in charge of prison management・・・・・・ damn it, when I think that our officers who were still holding their positions before the end of the war can only stay in prison like prisoners, my heart feels like I have been pierced by a sharp knife!" Oh, my old-fashioned marshals, my brave but unlucky heroes, and the wretched wretches who stand on the side of the state and the nation and betray their faith, they are all waiting for our deliverance! ”

As he spoke, the Führer sighed with emotion, and he seemed to have forgiven the generals who had been angrily scolded by him as incompetent and cowardly, and was full of nostalgia and yearning for what had been lost. Although a large number of talented commanders such as Moder were lost in the war, many of the German officers and soldiers imprisoned in the Allied prisoner of war camps and detention centers today are elite Marshals loyal to Germany, such as Rist, Loeb, Guderian, Manstein, Kleist, Speller, and Raeder, who are still alive and healthy and have a appeal that cannot be underestimated, and their military thinking and operational thinking are not outdated. Once back in the army, it is certain that these people will not perform as well as the brightest allies and Soviet generals on the battlefield today.

"Ah, and Speer, that mischievous fellow, I'm waiting for him to build me a real Germania!" The Führer's call for the head of armaments, the famous designer, and the logistical organizer who violated his scorched earth policy at a critical moment struck Lynn as dramatic, though he wasn't sure whether it was a frustrated man reminiscing about his comrades who had fought side by side in the past, or a man of great glory reflecting on the mistakes he had made. With the Führer's state in the middle and late stages of the war, even if the empire takes advantage of the defeat of both the Eastern and Western camps, the strategic resources accumulated by relying on advanced technology and diplomatic blackmail will be squandered again. However, the Führer's appeal is still unmatched among the German people and captured officers and soldiers, and his strategic value even exceeds that of the disc and the atomic bomb, so Lynn encouraged and kindly reminded: "Wait a maximum of 17 months, and they will all be returned to your command, and if the conditions are right, we will launch a rescue operation in advance, so that the Germanic warriors who have been trapped in Siberia and whose will have been tested the most severe will will also accept your call again, and the most spectacular scenes of the 1940 military parade will be repeated." In 1940, you will once again be in awe of the world! Unique ...... Our...... Hitler! ”…,

Although these words were not entirely heartfelt, the Führer was moved, and he sat with his head held high, his gaze tilted upwards to meet Lynn standing at the table, his eyes full of proud hope.

Three days later, when the heavy rain clouds that continued to envelop the northeastern European region finally dissipated, the Soviet troops attacking western Ukraine and Romania had captured a series of tactical strongholds such as Berezane, Stre, Galatz, Constanta, etc., although the Western Allied forces led by the United States and Britain were higher in mechanization than the Soviet army, but the Soviet aviation concentrated on one wing successfully resolved this gap in nearly a week of fierce fighting, and the Soviet tanks that were rushing through the roads and fields captured the southeastern Polish city of Krosno, Thus cutting off the retreat of 620,000 American troops, 190,000 British troops, 140,000 French troops, and 70,000 Polish troops of the Allied southern route combat cluster back to Poland and Western Europe, the Romanians sent only 70,000 elites to assist the Allies in the war, and Czechoslovakia and Hungary also had some Western-leaning volunteers to take up arms and fight, but the three countries located in Central and Southern Europe were not enough to maintain a million Allied troops against the Soviet army in terms of strategic location and military support, while Yugoslavia, Bulgaria, two countries that did not participate in the war but were clearly in the socialist camp, blocked the "way out" for the Allies to retreat to Greece, and the situation of the Allies on the southern front was precarious. However, as the weather improved, the Allied air forces stationed in Poland, Czechoslovakia and Hungary poured out, and a larger-scale air battle was launched in the airspace north of Western Ukraine and Romania, and the combat aircraft put into operation by both sides reached an unprecedented 40,000 sorties in one day, and the Allies regained some air supremacy at the huge cost of losing more than 900 fighters and bombers. Fierce offensive and defensive battles broke out in Lovno-Lviv and Krosno and Plemeśl in Poland, and the closest distance between the Allied forces in the encirclement and the friendly forces outside the encirclement was reduced from 20 kilometers to only 5 kilometers, but after nightfall a new round of Soviet armored assaults caused the situation to deteriorate rapidly. To be continued.
