Chapter 767: Two Lines of Beacon Fire

The fiery sunset slanted down, reflecting the sunset in a magnificent shade of purple and red.

It's May, and Berlin is already feeling the heat of summer, and the evening breeze brings a hint of heat and dryness in the fresh and cool air. However, in the leafy suburb of the castle in Charlottenburg, the temperature is still as pleasant as spring. As the summer residence of the German royal family, Charlottenburg Palace becomes another political center of Germany parallel to Berlin every summer, although the bureaucrats at all levels, headed by the chancellor, can handle all the daily affairs, but those key decisions still need to be judged by the emperor.

"Tuk-tuk." A crisp knock on the door sounded low, distinct in the wide hall, and a moment later, Prime Minister Ekman, dressed in formal suits, revealed his thin waist as thin as a bee. Seeing the tall figure standing in front of the main seat, Ekman saluted respectfully and said, "Your Majesty, the Navy has just sent back a telegram from the Atlantic front, they have severely damaged the US fleet entering the Atlantic, and confirmed that 4 large and 2 small US aircraft carriers, a total of 6 US aircraft carriers, have been sunk. The aircraft carrier Richthofen of our army unfortunately sank, killing and wounding more than 2,700 officers and men. A detailed report will be shown to you in a subsequent memo. ”

Qingying nodded slightly, which was in response to Ekman's @ words. No one can know and understand the advantages of the current German Navy better than that of him, who has single-handedly built the fleet: no matter from which point of view, the performance of the current German Navy has become extremely terrifying under his multiple opening and hanging increases, and even if the Americans can take advantage of it, it is impossible to reverse the situation in the current period when the lineup is also at an absolute disadvantage. Now except that the Air Force cannot crush the opponent. Both the army and navy have formed an absolute advantage that is enough to lock in the victory. If 一 qiē顺lì. The war against the United States may end before Christmas this year.

As if to see what Qing Ying was thinking, Ekman spoke again: "After the threat from the sea is eliminated, the worries of the army and air force will no longer exist. Our ships transporting supplies will be able to sail the oceans more frequently, and the power of the ground and air forces will be further unleashed. In the coming month, we are expected to increase our cargo shipments to the Americas front by 10 percent compared to normal, enough to meet the combat needs of 70 divisions of Army units and five air fleets. The only thing that is holding us back from launching an offensive in the southern United States is the capacity of rail transportation within Mexico. The railroad situation in this country is quite inferior to that of Germany half a century ago, according to a report sent back by the Army. Not only are Mexico's railways outdated and poorly maintained, but also the total number of locomotives and wagons is so scarce that large quantities of supplies unloaded from eastern seaports have to be transported to the front line by horse-drawn wagons, a total distance of 400 to 700 kilometers, which is greatly inefficient. In fact, this is the shortest transport distance that our troops can achieve from the northeastern Mexican port of Tampico, because of the limited capacity of this small port, most of the supplies have to be unloaded at the port of Veracruz further behind, and the transshipment distance from here is a full 400 kilometers more than the former. ”

"It's not a hard thing to solve. Mexico's infrastructure is rudimentary and backward. But the Americans' port roads are efficient and advanced, and they are of great use. As long as our army can open up the situation in the south of the United States. By capturing some of their coastal ports, convoys laden with supplies of all kinds would be able to unload their loads directly on the front lines and transport them by their roads to the combat units. Qingying smiled slightly, and her words revealed a sense of confidence, "Whether it is a dock for handling goods, or a road for relay transportation, the facilities of the Americans are much higher than those Mexicans who have no revenge and hatred, but have no actual preparation, and these road facilities that once drove the rapid growth of the American economy should now be used by us." ”

For industrial-era warfare, logistical supply was almost crucial: an attacking infantry division would consume at least 200 tons of supplies per day, and the amount of fuel and ammunition consumed by a large number of motor vehicles and artillery would be staggering. As for the mechanized armored divisions that are speeding up and the air force that is soaring in the sky, their ability to squander supplies is needless to mention. Once the logistics are poor, the offensive momentum will be lost, and the entire army will be destroyed at worst, and the Soviet-German war in another plane has countless typical cases. One of the decisive reasons why the Germans were defeated in the typhoon operation to capture Moscow was that the bad roads of the Soviets saved themselves: the Soviet Union under the rule of my father pursued heavy industry one-sidedly, and many of the roads that were related to people's livelihood were made of mud and dirt, and when the rainy season in September came in Eastern Europe, these roads became nightmarish mud pools, and people and vehicles could sink into them even half a meter. The German army, which was stretching thousands of miles on the broad road of Western Europe, had ever encountered such a battle, and it was as if it had been dragged down by a pair of invisible hands, and logistical support became difficult; In the end, the Soviets were able to survive the once-in-a-decade winter in the face of the opposing army's troops, and for the first time, the disaster of the army's collapse was reversed.

However, in the United States, which is known as a lighthouse country, the tragic road situation like the Soviet-German war will not be repeated in the German army. Now the only thing that is blocked by the bad road is the southern Russian army, which is attacking northward: the Soviet Russians in this plane are unlikely to have the energy to improve the domestic infrastructure, and the situation surrounded by tigers and wolves has caused them to devote almost all available forces to the military industry. For the Kremlin dictator, even the Mid-Autumn Festival, when the rainy season approached, became a luxury: the Red Army was defeated like a landslide after the purge, and the catastrophic news that followed made him feel terrified and panicked by his willpower.

"How's the battle going in the East?" As soon as she thought of this, Qingying couldn't help but ask. Although the South Russian power entrenched in the Don River is only a vassal of Germany, its role in Germany's eastern strategy is irreplaceable, not to mention that Elena who married Alexei is Qingying's favorite pearl, and even Alexei himself has long been regarded by Qingying as his own. If it weren't for the careful training that they had taken with them since childhood, and established a deep friendship with each other, Qingying would not have entrusted her daughter to Alexei's care.

"Rest assured, the Russian Tsar's army is always winning." Ekman understood the special relationship between the monarch and the Romanov royal family, and immediately told Qing Ying about the recent war on the Russian soil. Although he did not come from the army, he had worked in the center for more than ten years; Under the influence of the ears and eyes, you can also pass the guò memo and depict the overall situation of the battlefield clearly and clearly.

After more than three months of fighting, the South Russian White Army had advanced 500 kilometers, and with the support of air fighters and the roaring of land tanks, they completed two large-scale encirclement and annihilation, destroying a total of more than 600,000 enemies. Due to the fact that their troops were far superior to their opponents in terms of armament and armament, their own casualties were extremely minor, and the total losses were less than a fraction of the enemy's. And because of the series of high-pressure terrorist regimes established by Soviet Russia after coming to power, the Russian emperor **, with the program of "establishing the State Duma and redistributing the land to the peasants", has become the savior of the people who have been brutally suppressed by the Bolsheviks, and the roles played by both sides have just dropped compared with 25 years ago! Even in the rear of the Red Russian-controlled areas, there were many organized uprisings, and various guerrillas and saboteurs emerged one after another, hindering the normal operation of the Red Russian war planes. Compared with the unanimous unity of resistance to German invasion in history, the Russian people in the civil war did not have any national ideological baggage when choosing their sides; For a time, the Soviet Russian regime was on fire everywhere, and it was already a post-apocalyptic scene when the edifice was about to collapse.

"The Romanov empire will be restored, and the imperial power of Hohenzollern will radiate throughout Europe." After hearing Ekman briefly describe the situation in the east, Qingying said happily. The moment of the fall of Soviet Russia was the beginning of Germany's extension of power into Siberia; Post-war Russia needed to undergo extensive and lengthy national reconstruction, and Germany was the only one that could afford to provide the capital to do so. In this way, the entire nascent Romanov Empire will be completely integrated into the German economy, and the Slavic fighting nation will never be able to become the steamroller bear that once looked down on Europe.

"Your Majesty, there's one more thing I need to report to you. The 'Godfall' project, led by Dr. Hahn and Heisenberg, has entered the final stage, and the first special bomb has been built. Before putting it into practice, scientists want to conduct an experiment to obtain the correlation number at the time of the explosion and the damage to the target, so as to determine the best use to maximize its power. After all, it's a completely new weapon unlike any existing weapon, and our estimates of its full power are only on paper. Ekman froze and said to Qingying in a low voice. In this room with only the two of them, he still seemed to be worried that this absolute secret would be eavesdropped on by hostile forces.

"Is it finally done?" After hearing Eckman's report, Qingying, who knew the inside story of Yiqiē, suddenly rejoiced in his heart, with the assistance of this big killing weapon, this war is estimated to end soon. (To be continued......)
