ps: Thank you readers for voting for 1 monthly ticket to heaven with a big "You Hee-chen", thank you ^_^
"Your Excellency Bismarck, I want to kill you!" Ge Fatzi, who was frightened at first, turned around and saw Bismarck, and immediately said the "mantra" of Feng Gong, the famous comedian of Yanhuang in later generations, and stepped forward and hugged Bismarck (Comrade Wang Fan disguised).
"Oh, God is above! Your Excellency Goering, you are so welcoming! Wang Fan, who was overwhelmed by the sudden warm greeting, struggled for a moment, and then said helplessly.
Twenty minutes later, the conference room of Hitler's solitary villa.
This is a comfortable room of more than 60 square meters, a number of oil paintings of famous European Renaissance painters hang on the four walls of the conference room, and the stable solid wood style tables and chairs placed in the middle of the room set off the atmosphere of the conference room is particularly solemn and solemn.
"Welcome again, Your Excellency Bismarck." Hitler, who was sitting on the side of the table, smiled, smiled, and smiled, and said "in the spring light."
After entering April 1944, Hitler had been in a state of restlessness, and the supplies in the Soviet theater of operations on the Eastern Front began to gradually tighten, all kinds of supplies were gradually lacking, and the lack of momentum of the German offensive made him even more annoyed. Although he believed that he was the savior sent by God to the world, he was terrified of the great war potential that the Star-Spangled Banner had shown over time. But after seeing the magical Mr. Bismarck again, everything will no longer be a problem.
"Thank you for welcoming me, it's a real pleasure." Bismarck bowed slightly, showing the politeness of the European aristocracy of World War II.
"Your Excellency, forgive me for taking the liberty of it, but it's been too long since you last met." Goering's fat man relied on his thick skin and self-acquaintance, half complaining and half probing.
"I'm really sorry, but my hometown is far away from here, and it takes about half a year to make a round trip." Bismarck, who had already had a draft, replied unhurriedly.
"Half a year?" For the first time, Hitler heard Bismarck mention this: does that mean that it will take half a year for the next meeting?
"Your Excellency, Honorable Führer, rest assured that next time I will be back as soon as possible. You know, this time there is such a long interval, in addition to hurrying, it is also to raise enough military equipment and war materials. ”
"Then how many Silver Eagle fighters did you bring this time?" Ge Fat Man stared at Bismarck with bright eyes at this time, Hitler didn't care about Goering's words and rudeness, he also paid attention to the Silver Eagle fighters, and the information fed back from the front showed that as long as 1500~2000 Silver Eagle fighters were maintained, the lost air supremacy and positions of the Atlantic fortress were likely to be recovered.
"A full 2,500, how, Marshal Goering?"
Although the "2,500 planes" are somewhat different from the 3,000 planes they hoped for, plus the 500 planes that can still fly on the front line, it should be enough to maintain air supremacy in the Western Front. However, the battlefields on the Eastern Front and the Soviet side are estimated to be incompatible. Although Goering was a little dissatisfied when he thought of this, he thought that he now had a request after all, and the addition of these 2,500 Silver Eagles could replace at least 1,500 BF series fighters produced by Germany to supplement the Eastern Front, so he was relatively satisfied, and he continued: "If you can, if the number can reach 3,000, it will be better." ”
"Well... That's right. Last time I found out that your country is seriously underproducing tanks. It seems that the monthly production of Leopard tanks is only 50 units, and the Tiger tank is only 25 units. So this time I went back mainly to stock up on a large number of tanks and armored vehicles. Bismarck introduced.
"Tank armored car? I don't know how many there can be? "Hitler was a lover of tanks, and he was always dissatisfied with the armament production capacity of the Ruhr Industrial Service. But excellence has been imprinted into the bones of the German workers. The obsession with quality among the workers in the factory severely limited the growth of tank capacity. In addition, the need for the allocation of resources and manpower in steel production and other areas is also an important factor limiting tank production. So Hitler was very interested in the model and number of tanks that Bismarck brought.
"In order to facilitate logistics maintenance, I mainly hoarded imitation Leopard tanks and Tiger tanks this time, the former number is 6,000, and the latter number is 2,000, it should be enough, right?" Bismarck raised his coffee cup and took a sip of black coffee, and said unhurriedly.
"6,000? 2000 cars? "The chief of the German General Staff Kut, sitting on the side of the long conference table in the room?? General Zeitzler, after hearing this, immediately began to calculate the cutting-edge combat power that these weapons could form.
"How?" Hitler looked at the Chief of the General Staff, Kut?? Zeitzler.
"Your Excellency, the Great Führer, according to the standard of equipment of tank armored divisions at the beginning of the war (1939~1940, 324 tanks), we can arm 25 armored divisions, according to the standards of 1942 (150~200 vehicles), we can arm 40 armored divisions, and if according to the current standards (140~150 vehicles), we can arm up to 50 armored divisions." Kurt?? Zeitzler was quick to give an answer.
"The troops we have just trained are 1 million." Hitler did not comment immediately, but asked other questions.
"Yes, 1 million people, including 35 infantry divisions, 5 armored divisions (140~150 vehicles standard)."
"Guderian once made a point of emphasizing that the forces of tank armor must be concentrated in order to achieve the best results." Hitler was a great admirer of blitzkrieg, and the number of armored tanks in the first place often played a role in determining the success or failure of a campaign. He continued: "This time you will allocate 1,000 No. 4 (Leopard) and 500 No. 5 (Tiger) to the Eastern Front. In addition, about 8,000~10,000 experienced tank troops were quickly transferred back from the Eastern Front, and they were added to the newly trained 1 million people, based on the remaining 5,000 No. 4 tanks and 1,500 No. 5 tanks, and then counted the original equipment, to form 20~22 full-fledged armored divisions and 20 infantry divisions that were standard at the beginning of the war. I don't want another second Dunkirk retreat, understand? ”
"Yes, Your Excellency the Great Führer!"
"Ahem, excuse me, it looks like we haven't negotiated a price and a reward yet." Bismarck saw that Hitler had entered the process of discussing how to distribute the goods, and he had to remind him.
"Your Excellency Bismarck, what do you need this time? Is it still gold? Hitler, who had solved the problem of tank capacity, asked very boldly at this time.
"No, the gold you paid me last time has caused a big fluctuation in the price of gold over there, I don't want gold in a short time, I want it"
France, Rommel Command.
"Marshal, the Supreme High Command has asked to postpone the attack, gather forces, and wait for reinforcements to arrive." The adjutant handed over the telegram he had just received to Rommel.
"Waiting for reinforcements to arrive?" Rommel was puzzled by this order. You must know that the battlefield is over in an instant, and at this moment the landing force of the British and the Star-Spangled Banner is still in a weak state, once they are given enough time to prepare, with the quantity and quality of the troops in their hands, even with the so-called reinforcements, I am afraid it will be difficult to guarantee victory.
"Call back to the High Command at once, asking for permission to launch an immediate counteroffensive." Rommel shook his head and refused.
"Your Excellency, this is an order from the Führer himself. In addition, there is a phrase here, you see. ”
Rommel sent a telegram of doubtful results, only to see that the final display had been revealed: the counterattack was suspended, and Euchinja had returned.
At the same time, the German garrisons stationed in various European countries, under the command of the SS, vigorously collected and transported all kinds of European folk cultural relics from the Middle Ages and the Ancient Ages. A third of the collection of the famous Louvre in France has also been transferred...
May 3, 1944.
Commander-in-Chief of the Allied Forces in the Normandy Landings, Dwight ?? Eisenhower and Rundstedt are discussing the latest situation.
"The Germans did not counterattack for several days in a row, what are they planning?" Eisenhower thought as he stared at the large-scale military map.
"It is not excluded that they want to weaken our forces with the Air Force and delay our speed. Recently, we have suffered more and more losses from air raids, and the morale has suffered a serious setback. Rundstedt analyzed.
"What's going on with the air force units, why are the losses from air strikes in the landing zone getting bigger and bigger." Eisenhower asked dissatisfied, remembering the number of fighter losses reported today.
"The Germans have massively invested in a completely new combat aircraft, it has no propellers, ultra-fast speed, and a high ceiling, which belongs to jet aircraft, and our country is still developing, but I didn't expect the Germans to have put a large amount of equipment into actual combat." Rundstedt explains.
"Is the air combat ratio close to 11 to 1?" Seeing the almost outrageous exchange rate of fighters, even the deep-pocketed Stars and Stripes felt a chill in their hearts.
"The Air Force is studying the corresponding tactics, but so far it has not been able to grasp the performance of this aircraft because all the wreckage has been captured. In addition, the Germans abandoned their original single-handedness and began to use aircraft formations, and in the event of a head-on conflict, we suffered heavy losses. ”
"What if ground forces are sent to attack now?" Although Eisenhower also knew the danger of not having air supremacy, he still asked without giving up.
"I don't agree." Rundstedt denied, "You know very well what kind of battle damage will be suffered by the tank units if they launch a general offensive without air supremacy. I'm afraid half of the tanks will be wrecked or broken down on the road. The 7th Panzer Division made an attempt yesterday, and in just one morning, nearly a hundred tanks were destroyed by German air power and ground blocking forces. I suggest that, if a forced attack is to be forced, a decisive army group should be formed, and then a general offensive should be launched. ”
"How much time will it take for all the landing troops to go ashore?" Eisenhower rationally agreed with Rundstedt.
"In about a week, we can form more than 1.2 million ground troops."
"Alright then, wait a little longer, order the troops ashore to temporarily guard and assist the air force in defense."
“yes_sir!”
