Today's three, now the first to offer, please ask for a monthly pass

These two questions made the air on the balcony suddenly heat up, and Chang Ruiqing quietly waited for Hitler's reply. To put it bluntly, he absolutely did not believe that France, which had been frightened by the First World War, would dare to stab Germany in the back...... But this was his view as a man of history, and Hitler and the Wehrmacht top brass certainly wouldn't have thought so. The Franco-Russian alliance against Germany has appeared more than once in history, and as for the Soviet Union's GC system, I am afraid that it is not a reason for France to tolerate Germany's limited growth. Everyone knows that in the sixteenth century, in order to oppose the rule of Spain and the Holy Roman Empire (the First German Empire, the Kingdom of France, which believed in God, also formed a military alliance with the Ottoman Empire, which believed in Allah!).

Hitler replied: "The conflict between the German Empire and the French Republic is very likely to begin...... France will be defeated by the end of this year at the latest. At the same time as defeating France, the Anglo-German forces would launch a counteroffensive in northern Europe, the Sino-British forces would launch a counteroffensive in India, and the main forces of the British naval fleet should be concentrated in Australia. ”

The timing was a good choice. Chang Ruiqing said: "The main forces of the British Army have been sent to Northern Europe, India, Egypt and Australia, and the Navy has also been transferred to Australia. In this case, Britain could do anything if it did not want to see France defeated. Keeping promises not to interfere in the Franco-German conflict may have become John Bull's only option. ”

Hitler was silent, and then said: "Germany does not need China to declare war on France, but you should attract the main forces of the Soviet Red Army to the east as much as possible." I hope you can launch a large-scale offensive in the Far East, in Baikal, in Central Asia! In return. I will hand over French Indochina to China after defeating France. Furthermore. In the unlikely event that Britain prepares to intervene in the Franco-German war, I hope you will intervene...... I don't think it's hard to do, because we don't have the slightest idea of destroying France, just to take back Alsace and Lorraine, and at the same time temporarily disarm France, that's all, and I believe that the British Empire will accept this reality. ”

This condition sounds good, China is ready to launch an offensive in the Far East, Baikal and Central Asia. And French Indochina has always been what Chang Ruiqing wants to get. But the question is, once France and Germany go to war, the pressure on the Soviet Union's western front will be greatly reduced, and will the Soviet Union transfer their main forces to the east?

Chang Ruiqing frowned and said: "But we have to bear the main military strength of the Soviet Union because of this, if you fight a protracted war with France, Trotsky is likely to send millions of troops to the Eastern Front!" When the time comes, we will be in a terrible war of attrition! ”

Hitler smiled heavily. A confident smile appeared on the corner of his lips, and he whispered to Chang Ruiqing: "Please rest assured, Your Excellency Marshal, such a thing will not happen, in fact, we have already considered all kinds of difficulties...... Our General Staff has prepared a very complex, but highly probable plan of success, which was drawn up by Senior General Max Hoffmann himself. According to this plan. Our goal in 1934 would be to recover Poland, East Prussia and East Romania, recover parts of Finland, defeat France and possibly Belgium, and overthrow the Spanish Republican regime. And you will seize the Far Eastern Republic and the Baikal region, and inflict heavy losses on the Soviet Red Army in Central Asia. Obtain French Indochina, and at the same time help the British to recover parts of India. ”

Chang Ruiqing was stunned when he heard this. Listening to Hitler, Germany will adopt a two-front offensive strategy, defeating France on the Western Front and capturing Poland and East Prussia at the same time! That's too much, isn't it? Can it really be done? Don't follow in the footsteps of Wilhelm II, and in the end you will be involved in China.

Seeing Chang Ruiqing's puzzled expression, Hitler smiled faintly and said, "Your Excellency Marshal, I will ask General Hoffmann to bring the deputy of the 'Max Hoffmann Plan' to the Chinese Embassy where you are staying to explain the overall plan to you. I believe that as long as you listen to his introduction, you will understand that China will not pay much in the war in 1934, and the gains will be very huge. ”

Is this "Hoffman Plan" really that awesome? When the time comes, don't drop the chain and let the Soviets fight stupid! With a skeptical mood, Chang Ruiqing returned to the Chinese embassy on the street of the Elector. At this time, German Army General Max Hoffmann and his assistant Lieutenant General Manstein were already waiting there with a battle plan that would change the course of World War II......

……

A finger, fat as a carrot, tapped lightly on the map at that location in southern Belgium. Then it pressed it - the Ardennes Forest area. Obviously, the German plan to attack France was in some way an allusion to the historical Manstein plan, and perhaps the Manstein people were important participants in this Max Hoffmann plan. However, the surprise attack on the rear of the French army through the Ardennes Forest is only a small part of this super complex and super huge battle plan!

Spread out in front of Chang Ruiqing was a beautifully printed one-millionth map of Eurasia. It is marked by bold bold letters indicating that it is a top-secret document of the General Staff of the Wehrmacht. On this map, there are various tactical symbols marked, and in some areas it is densely packed with Cheng dù. Based on Chang Ruiqing's understanding of the tactical symbols of the German army, he could see at a glance that this was an overall war plan made by the elites of the German General Staff after spending a lot of painstaking efforts, repeatedly comparing intelligence in all aspects, and making the most precise calculations of the forces possessed by the participating countries. Of course, this plan is only a draft, and at least in terms of the layout of the battlefields between China and the Soviet Union, India, and the Middle East, it seems quite general. Just a few thick arrows were drawn pointing to Chita, Lake Baikal, Karaganda, Transjordan and the western coastal region of India, among other places. Obviously, the Germans did not know the specifics of those battlefields, and the battle plans there could only be drawn up by the Chinese and British themselves. Of course, the Germans still made a lot of demands, because in their opinion, Germany was the main force to defeat the Soviet Union, and the Eastern European theater was the home field. Operations in all other directions were, in the final analysis, in coordination with the Wehrmacht on the main battlefield.

In the European part of this map. On the Eastern Front in Germany, there was a huge red arrow sticking out from the direction of the Western Balkanians and the Sudetenland in Czechoslovakia. Four Panzer and four Infantry armies formed a huge assault group along the four main mountain passes, reaching Krakow, and then all the way north in the direction of Warsaw, forcing the Soviet-Polish general reserve to engage in a decisive battle with the German panzer group under the city of Warsaw. After defeating the general reserve of the Soviet-Polish coalition army, Warsaw was surrounded and monitored with one unit, and the main force continued to assault in the direction of the Danze corridor. At the same time, in the Baltic direction, an infantry army group landed in the direction of Danzig Bay under the cover of the British and German return troops and captured the city of Danzig. Then use the sea to quickly throw in the troops of three or four army groups, and then surprise to the south, trying to join forces with the German armored group going north, and encircle more than 3 million Soviet-Polish forces, including the main force of the Soviet Polish Front, in the Polish plain west of Warsaw, and annihilate them.

And in the Balkan direction, the markings of the Wehrmacht, Romanian, Hungarian and British armies can also be seen, which are now under the unified command of the German Army Group South. The scale of their offensive there was slightly smaller than that of the German Army Group Center, which attacked Poland. But it's not a diversionary offense. Two huge arrowheads stretched out from the Southern and Eastern Carpathians in western Romania and attacked Moldova and Bessarabia in eastern Romania; All the way to the Bucharest region in southern Romania. If both offensives were successful, the Soviet Balkan Front would have been completely cut off from Turkey by land. The Kingdom of Yugoslavia and Greece, which had now remained neutral, would join the war against the Soviet Union, while the Soviet Balkan Front, which had retreated to Bulgaria, would be attacked on three sides, and the best outcome would be to retreat to Constantinople.

In the Nordic direction, the main forces of the battle were the combined British, German and Swedish forces. There are also some Finnish troops in exile in Sweden, of which the British army is called the 2nd Army, under the jurisdiction of 3 infantry corps and 1 armored division, with a total strength of about 200,000 people, and the German army is called the Northern Army. It has 2 infantry corps and 2 mountain armies, with a total strength of around 200,000. Sweden has the largest number of troops. The army strength of the Nordic military power and military industrial power has expanded to 500,000! And well-equipped and well-trained, it did not lose to the Wehrmacht in any way. The nearly 900,000-strong Triple Alliance will launch a counter-attack on Finland from both land and sea, and although it may not be able to recover Finland, which is heavily defended by the Resurgence Army, it will at least be able to capture the western coastal areas of Finland and the Finnish-Swedish border area.

It is obvious that what Max Hoffmann's plan showed on the Eastern Front in Europe was a decisive plan for a decisive battle to strike an all-out blow to the Soviet Union, at least to drive the Soviet Red Army back to its homeland, and completely weaken the Red Army! It's not a feint to fool people.

But on the German Western Front, there was also an offensive of a similar magnitude aimed at France and Belgium! Three huge arrowheads, stretching from German and Italian territory to France, the number of the German Army Group Western is impressive. Dense military symbols are scattered all over western Germany and northern Italy, and even Italian troops in North Africa will take the opportunity to attack the French colonies in North Africa. In the Mediterranean, the Italian navy would also come out of the nest to engage in a decisive naval battle with the French Mediterranean Fleet...... In addition, Germany and Italy will jointly send troops to Spain to threaten the southern regions of France. This is also a battle plan to launch an all-out attack on France and set the goal of completely defeating France!

In other words, Germany really wanted to launch a fierce attack on the Soviet Union and France on both the eastern and western fronts...... Although Germany has a strong military at the moment, it has not yet reached the level where it can defeat France and the Soviet Union at the same time, right? It seems that this Max Hoffmann plan is not as simple as it seems.

Chang Ruiqing propped up the edge of the conference table covered with maps with both hands, and carefully looked at the huge map for a long time. After a long while, he let out a long sigh of relief: "General Hoffman, I think the most critical part of this battle plan has not yet been shown on this map, has it?" ”

Max Hoffmann, who was tall and fat, nodded lightly and said sullenly: "As Your Excellency said, the essence of this battle plan is not the offensive route and the forces invested in various battlefields, but the ......."

Chang Ruiqing suddenly waved his hand and interrupted, "Let me guess...... Is it the time, right? The key to the success or failure of the plan is the coordination of various battlefields, right? ”

Max Hoffmann smiled and nodded, and replied: "Your Excellency, you really can't hide it, the key to this battle plan is cooperation. Poland, France, Northern Europe, the Balkans, the Middle East, India, Central Asia, and the Far East will truly become a whole. We hope that we can deceive the Soviet high command through the mutual cooperation between the various battlefields, so that they can make wrong judgments, so as to mobilize the strategic reserves of the Soviet Red Army and let them run for their lives from one battlefield to another, and finally succeed. In the end, Trotsky could only watch us defeat their most important ally, France, and then concentrate all our forces on the destruction of the Soviet Union! If you have a qiē shun lì, next year, that is, 1935, will probably be the last year of the Soviet Union! ”

"But......" Chang Ruiqing frowned and looked at Max Hoffmann, who was full of confidence. We don't even have a unified headquarters of the coalition forces, so how can we achieve cooperation between the various battlefields? ”

Hoffman smiled slightly, pointed to Manstein beside him and said: "Your Excellency, the real need for cooperation is only your two countries, and the planned cooperation is not delicate, so there is no need for unified command, only need to coordinate the scale and time of the attack of the two sides." This Lieutenant General Manstein is the most distinguished officer in our Wehrmacht General Staff, and Hitler has appointed him as your military adviser, with whom you can maintain close liaison with us. ”

As he spoke, he raised his hand and pointed down at Manstein, who gave Chang Ruiqing a standard military salute, and then put two large handbags on the conference table: "Your Excellency, this is the deputy of Max Hoffmann's plan, as long as you read it carefully, you will understand that our plan is completely feasible." ”

Chang Ruiqing looked at the two big bags and nodded with a smile. In order to convince himself, Hitler showed all his hole cards, and he really had the confidence to win. It seems that the real world war is coming! To be continued.
