The Soviet-Mongolian coalition army was defeated again, and compared with the many excuses of the last time, this time the defeat of Saiyin Shanda completely stopped the fire of those Soviet generals who did not believe in the combat effectiveness of Chen Feng's troops. After the Second Company Campaign, the Battle of Zamyn-Uud and the Battle of Sainshanda, the Soviet-Mongolian coalition army lost a total of 150,000 land forces and 90% of the air force in the Far East, and the losses were not small, and what was even more serious was that the Soviet troops assembled in Mongolia at this time were only more than 100,000 people, plus the more than 30,000 people remobilized by the Mongolian People's Army, it was only 130,000 people.

On the other hand, although Chen Feng's division stopped attacking, another mechanized infantry division had penetrated deep into the root of the forehead, and Zhukov and others knew that once this infantry division and Chen Feng's guard division converged, then Chen Feng's division would continue to advance towards Ulaanbaatar.

The strength of one division had still crushed them, and if there was another one, Zhukov could not imagine how serious the consequences would be.

More importantly, the news from the European side made Zhukov and others extremely uneasy. After three and a half months of bombing, Germany finally failed to force Britain to submit, and when the Soviet Union and other countries believed that Germany would continue to attack Britain, and even did not rule out that it would put ground troops into a beach-grabbing landing operation, Germany unexpectedly stopped its air raids on Britain, and the air war in Great Britain came to an end.

During the Battle of Britain, the Luftwaffe flew more than 46,000 sorties, dropped more than 70,000 tons of bombs on Britain, and lost more than 1,500 aircraft. The British Air Force lost 915 planes and killed and injured more than 86,000 residents. More than 1 million buildings were damaged and many cities were destroyed. Although the British paid a huge price, they eventually kept their homeland and did not let a single German soldier land on British soil.

On the night of June 15, the Luftwaffe carried out the last large-scale air raid on London. That night, the Germans flew more than 500 sorties to bomb London indiscriminately, and all the pilots who participated in the battle were instructed to keep the bombs anywhere, and 700 tons of explosive bombs and incendiary bombs fell on the city of London, and the fire lit up most of the night sky. 1,436 civilians were killed in London. More than 1,800 people were seriously injured.

However, in the eyes of many people, this air raid was nothing more than a vent for Germany to vent its resentment about defeat before giving up the attack on Britain. That's all.

June 17th. British Prime Minister Winston Churchill delivers a radio address. He told the British people that it was the great British Air Force that saved Britain! At the same time, Churchill also said in his speech: "The great British Air Force is known for its own toil, tears and blood. Crushed Hitler's arrogant attempt to force Britain out of the war. The Luftwaffe never opened the door to British defense. ”

The Germans had ceased their attack on the British, and although small-scale night air raids had continued since then, the large-scale air operations had ended. The unexpected actions of the Germans caused the United States and the Soviet Union and other countries to be suspicious, and Germany intended to stop the fight or had other plans.

If the situation dies down, then it will be possible to start peace talks with Germany. If the Germans had other plans, then what were they going to do?

The Americans are okay, after all, the Germans are still far, far away from the American mainland, and even if Germany has any other actions, it will not be directed against the Americans. But the Soviets were not complacent, and throughout the war in Europe, Germany had now eliminated Poland, Denmark, Norway, France, Belgium, Portugal, the Netherlands, Luxembourg, and annexed Czechoslovakia and Austria.

Italy and Spain, which was controlled by the rebels, were already open allies of Germany, and after the Soviet-Finnish war, Finland, which had lost 10% of its territory, had also taken refuge in Germany, and the Romanian government had also actively contacted the Germans.

The only countries that could be qualified to fight Germany were the Soviet Union and Britain, and the Germans were originally busy with the war in Western Europe, and the Soviet Union did not have a deep understanding of the threat to Germany. But now that Germany has suddenly ceased its large-scale operations against Britain, it will only be possible to do so against the Soviet Union if Germany makes any more moves.

Although the Soviet-German Non-Aggression Pact was signed between the Soviet Union and Germany, neither Hitler nor Stalin took it too seriously, and anyone in their position knew that relations between states could never be maintained by a signed piece of paper. If it is said that the non-aggression pact that Germany had to sign with the Soviet Union in order to attack Western Europe, then now that Germany has given up continuing to attack Britain, then it means that this non-aggression pact has lost its due role, and there is nothing wrong with the Germans tearing up the treaty.

In fact, in the later stages of the Battle of Britain, Hitler also saw that the Luftwaffe bombing effect was getting smaller and smaller, and the losses were getting bigger and bigger, and the hope of conquering Britain was slim, so he turned his attention to the East and stepped up preparations for an attack on the Soviet Union.

The reason why the "Sea Lion Plan" was aborted and the reason why it was delayed until 41 years before it completely stopped the air raids against Britain was entirely to hide its ambition to attack the Soviet Union, and the "Sea Lion Plan" actually became a strategic camouflage to cover up the German invasion of the Soviet Union.

If there is no sudden disturbance by Chen Feng's subordinates, then the development of things will still be like in history, step by step, slowly maneuvering with the British, and then secretly mobilizing troops, hoarding supplies, and even making the move of landing in the UK. After all, Hitler also knew that it was a fatal mistake to turn east before Britain was taken! Fighting on two fronts is a taboo for soldiers. Hitler did not want to go against the sky, and acting against the sky often did not end well.

But now Chen Feng's actions in the Far East gave Hitler a chance, a chance to go to war with the Soviet Union. If a war were to be waged against the Soviet Union at this time, Germany would certainly be fighting on two fronts, but the Soviet Union would not be the same.

The main thing is that Hitler was extremely surprised by the intelligence coming from the Far East, and it was exactly the same as his own judgment that the Soviet army was so weak that even the Chinese little friend could not defeat it.

Of course, Hitler did not think that Chen Feng's troops would be more heroic than his Wehrmacht, nor would he think that Chen Feng's troops would be more effective than the German army, and Hitler believed that the reason why Chen Feng's troops were able to achieve brilliant results one after another was entirely because of the problems of the Soviets themselves. As for whether there is no problem, needless to say, it is also known that the Soviet Red Army at this time lacked experienced officers, especially senior officers.

After all, from the very beginning, Germany regarded the Soviet Union as an unprecedented enemy, and they had been secretly collecting military information from the Soviet Union.

The Germans not only know the way, but they also know it very well. The Germans even took advantage of Stalin's eagerness to consolidate power and their own authority to design the greatest field marshal since the founding of the Soviet Union, such as Tukhachevsky.

Thinking of this, the corners of Hitler's mouth couldn't help but rise, this was the most successful espionage war he directed, successfully used Stalin's hand to remove the fierce rival Tukhachevsky and others, and even triggered Stalin's purge of the military system.

In fact, what was not clear to Hitler was that the apparent origin of Stalin's purge of the army was the disinformation of Marshal Tukhachevsky's disloyalty to Stalin created by the German SS. The reason for this was that in 1936 a very strange piece of news appeared in foreign newspapers in the Soviet Union, saying that Hitler was preparing to attack the Soviet Union. At the same time, Germany pretended to leave a fake document through its own spy agency, saying that the real identities of Yakir, Tukhachevsky and others were spies of the German General Staff. This so-called 'classified' document fell into the hands of Czechoslovak President Benes, who forwarded it to Stalin out of good wishes. Yakir, Tukhachevsky, and others were then arrested and executed, triggering Stalin's purge of senior military officers.

In fact, Stalin did not need the intelligence of the Germans at all, all he needed was a pretext for the purge of the army, because Tukhachevsky was too much of a threat to him. Tukhachevsky was not only a field marshal, but also a commissar of national defense. In addition to his outstanding military achievements, Tukhachevsky was also an excellent commander with keen strategic thinking and vision, and he was different from Budyonny's cavalry bravery and Voroshilov's political marshal.

For a long time after the founding of the USSR, Marshal Tukhachevsky was considered one of the most important leaders of the military-scientific work of the USSR after the death of Frunze. Like General Guderian in Germany and General de Gaulle in France, he clearly understood that the revolution in technology and technology had brought about a great revolution in the way of warfare. He advocated the realization of the mechanization of the armed forces, the development of aviation and tank strength, and tested the coordinated operations of multiple arms of the armed forces, such as airborne operations, tank breakthroughs, and infantry and artillery coordination, as well as large-scale vertical battles.

But for whatever reason, Tukhachevsky died, and he was executed along with Yakir of the Commander of the Kiev Military District, Commander of the Belarusian Military District Upolevich, Deputy Commander of the Leningrad Military District Pumakov, President of the Frunze Military Academy Kolk, Head of the Central Organ of the Red Army Feuerman and others. This is a group of high-achieving generals, but this is only the beginning.

These actions of Stalin were taken seriously by the Germans, and although Hitler had long believed that the Soviet Red Army was not as strong as they appeared to be, he was not interested in this danger. However, after the Soviet-Finnish War and the ongoing Sino-Soviet War, Hitler thought that he had seen the reality of the Soviet Red Army, so he did not plan to disguise it, he wanted to act, and use German chariots to kill a living space for the German people.
