Chapter 838: The Battle of Western Siberia (4)
"We need supplies!"
"We need to eat! Give me a cart of potatoes! ”
"What? Do you want another car? You're so greedy! ”
"That'...... Is it okay to give me a sack? ”
"Let's settle it locally! We don't have sacks here! ”
The front-line command of the Eastern Front of the Third Reich was simply a mess, everywhere, yelling guys, they were talking to the front-line commanders, anyway, the demands of the guys in front were simply ...... I can't help it.
The headquarters is now here in the Tyumen oil fields, and this place is not bad, at least there is oil.
But though, this oil is a bit ...... There is oil, but there are no refineries!
It's a bit of a pitfall, but at least there's something at this point, which is good.
"......" Ludendorff, as a marshal, was already at the Tyumen command post in person at this time, because he couldn't come either, and his face was very ugly at this time.
The entire battlefield situation is actually very obvious, to this obvious extent, as long as you know a little bit about military affairs, you can understand it, and now it's still a fart?
It's right to retreat!
The reason is too simple, at this time, the army of the Third Reich, the length of the battle line, it is simply a situation that has not occurred in the history of mankind, thousands of kilometers, and this front, the supply line, is still counted from the previously occupied Moscow.
Of course, if you want to sound a little better, the distance is shorter, from the Ural Pass, then ...... It's at least 2,000 kilometers!
Needless to say, how much pressure is there on this supply transportation?
Fortunately, at this time my Third Reich was a mechanized army, and in terms of transportation, it was stronger than all the previous armies, but nevertheless. It's winter now!
Winter is terrible, on the one hand, winter is very, very cold in this damn place, so you need to consume more and more things.
On the other hand, the pressure on this transportation is even greater, and the key is. A lot of vehicles can't work properly!
It's too cold, and Mercedes-Benz is doing its best to improve the existing process of launching attacks, but unfortunately, it still doesn't have too good results.
The battle line was long, transportation was difficult, and the soldiers at the front ...... Ludendorff is not an idiot, he knows the soldiers, of course. If it weren't for the strong-willed and steely soldiers of the Third Reich, then I'm afraid it would have been doomed a long time ago!
Actually, this evaluation can be regarded as Ludendorff's own comfort, because he knows very well that most of the soldiers in the front rely on robbing the nearby Russians to survive until now, but ...... There aren't many people in this damn place. I can't grab it anymore!
However, there is another consolation. It's the Tyumen oil field!
Let's just say that the three guys carried out the raid on their own initiative, which was supposed to be an act of military court, but ...... The High Command gave a commendation!
It's strange, in general, the Germans wouldn't do that, but now. That's it, and Ludendorff is absolutely sure that it could not have been an order from His Majesty Adolf, because His Majesty Adolf was a university scholar. People are studying philosophy and law, and it is impossible for those three guys to violate the principles of law.
Well, there is only one explanation......
Tyumen oil fields!
When this world war was fought to this extent, the command of the Third Reich and His Majesty the Emperor were already very clear, that is, they had entered a period of resource consumption.
Look, it's who consumed it!
Well, one of the biggest disadvantages of Europe is that there is no oil, and the only big oil field is Romania, and this oil field was destroyed before, and then it was put back into operation, which is not bad, but it is obviously not enough.
Where is the oil?
The most recent and most accessible is this Tyumen oil field!
There is no way to go at sea, and after the Pacific Empire blockaded the Mediterranean, Africa was completely cut out of the arms of Europe like paper-cuts, and then these guys marched into the Middle East...... I heard that there is oil over there, but I have only heard about it, and some scholars have discussed it, but the specific exploration is still a process, and there is no result.
However, even so, the Pacific Empire will come to take this Middle East into its hands, which is simply ......
The emperor of the Pacific Empire is a devil!
The Middle East is not the strength of our Germany, and that is the place of the British, but unfortunately, after the British were beaten at sea, that place is also unstable...... Who would obey the orders of a so-called former powerhouse who is going to die himself?
Although I don't know the news over there, it is estimated that the Pacific Empire will not be too gentle, and in this way, if the Third Reich wants to get oil, there is only one goal, and that is this Tyumen oil field.
So, those three guys may be too reckless, but in such a strategic environment, the Third Reich needs oil so much, then of course these three people should be rewarded and promoted.
It should be said that there is no problem at all, it can, it is necessary, but ......
It's true that the Tyumen oil field is there, and this time it's particularly interesting that when the Russians retreated, they didn't destroy the oil field, but this place ......
There are no refineries!
This is very bad, because there is oil Yes, but this oil can't be used!
It can only be transported back, transported to Volgograd, there is an oil refinery, fortunately, that place is the Volga River, this transportation cost is low, but, the key thing, the railway in Western Siberia, the section from the Tyumen oil fields to the Urals, has been destroyed, so there have to be cars to transport it, so......
The transportation back and forth consumes much more oil than the oil transported from the Tyumen oil fields!
Loss, big loss!
No one would do this if it were a business, and now, the only hope is to fix the railroad, but ...... It's winter, and the railroad is being built on this frozen soil?
Ludendorff couldn't think of this war, no matter how much he thought about it......
How is it possible to win?
But to be honest, if you lose, you lose, Ludendorff is not someone who can't afford to lose, and now he is most afraid of ......
The opponent did not attack!
The Pacific Empire was completely on the defensive, as if there was no idea of attacking at all.
This is very unusual, because as long as it is a war, then how can it not be seen that the problem of the Third Reich Army at this time is not seen?
Moreover, the opponent is still that Yang Willy, that guy always wins by surprise, and always has some strange tricks......
What should I do?
Ludendorff's heart was a little flustered, this is very unusual, when has he ever been so panicked in his life?
But this is not the way to go, and Ludendorff finally has to decide......
"Prepare the car! I'm going back to Moscow to see Marshal Mackensen......" Ludendorff felt that he couldn't think of a good idea, so he had to go back to Marshal Mackensen.
In fact, Ludendorff had an idea in his heart, that is, he and Marshal Mackensen jointly suggested to the high command that we might as well withdraw and establish a defensive line in Tyumen, so ...... We're not attacking anymore!
It's just that this plan is very dangerous, not that Ludendorff is dangerous, but in the high command, it is estimated that this plan cannot be passed, so I asked Marshal Mackensen to make this plan ......
Let's get in the car!
Ludendorff was like an arrow, he brought his entourage with him, and all the things that a marshal should have, such as a radio, these ......
From Tyumen to Russia, the way ...... Thousands of kilometers!
It's a long way, but it's too important if you don't go by yourself......
However, Ludendorff didn't expect that in fact, the current Pacific Empire is also a bit chaotic......
"Your Highness! I suggest that General Yang Willy should be removed from office on the spot! ”
"Your Highness! Just send me! Please give me the sword of the next Shang Fang, I will kill that faint handsome! ”
"Your Highness! This Shang Fang sword still has to be given by His Majesty......"
The Forbidden City in this imperial capital, Li Zhenguo, the crown prince, is now in his ears, this is the whole day, buzzing, buzzing......
Everyone is saying to him, ah, you are going to kill Yang Willy!
The reason is very simple, Yang Willy, this guy, is stuck on the front line, and he is completely a cowardly coach!
That's right, I haven't attacked, it's all about defense, and then the number of battle losses reported is amazing, so far, in the entire Omsk war, the number of casualties in our empire has been as high as 500,000!
Although this big battle is relatively long, this is too scary, right?
So, how will Li Zhenguo, the crown prince, deal with Yang Willy?
