"You know the British Empire isn't quite good." Lin Youde looked at Isabella with some surprise, "Or is it because you are now a traitor, so your views have changed suddenly?" ”

Isabella patted Lin Youde's heavenly spirit cover, but did not refute it, it seems that she also has the consciousness that she is a traitor.

Isabella cleared her throat and tapped her hand on the table, "Let's continue to discuss the battle plan." If the Russian army counterattacks against Lublin, it must be blocked by ground troops, otherwise a large number of maintenance equipment and materials transported to Lublin will be destroyed by the Russian army, we will not only have to retreat, but we will also fall into a disadvantageous situation in the confrontation with Shenji. ”

"That is, in order to carry out an attack on Ukraine, it is necessary to completely master the surrounding areas of Lublin, right?"

"Yes, if you ask other people, they will tell you the same. So I personally think it's better to encircle and annihilate the Russian army near Warsaw first, roughly recover the whole territory of Poland, and then attack Ukraine...... You are attacking Ukraine, it is not for the oil fields of Baku, right? ”

"And, of course, the oil fields of Romania." Lin Youde grinned at Isabella, "Did you guess accurately, when did you know so much about me?" ”

"Do you need to know the bottom line, you think about oil all day, don't you?"

"Yes." Lin Youde nodded, "If you master oil, you will master the key to the future, and in the same way, war also needs a lot of oil." ”

"Your pursuit of oil is probably only better than your pursuit of boobs."

Isabella's words made Lin Youde laugh, and by the way, he touched Isabella's chest again, and then he said: "Actually, there is another thing I am also pursuing, and that kind of thing is called heavy water." In addition, I am secretly collecting uranium. ”

"Are you trying to build some powerful weapon from another plane?"

"yes, but it's a lot harder to get hold of than I thought." Lin Youde said with a wry smile, he often laughed at those novels that had no brains to wear modern history before he patted his head and made mushroom eggs, and ridiculed the authors of those novels for not knowing how complicated the process of producing mushroom eggs was, but after he crossed over, he was surprised to find that he still underestimated the difficulty of making mushroom eggs.

Not to mention that this time and space is not as far behind Einstein's theory as a whole, and the collection of this raw material is difficult. Vale has been looking for uranium deposits in Australia, and according to Lin Youde's rough memory, they actually found uranium mines near Darwin, but it was very difficult to mine.

Originally, Lin Youde remembered that the uranium mine in Darwin was open-pit, and thought that it should be dug just like the iron ore, but it turned out that it was not the case at all. The ore can be excavated, but the extraction after digging is the difficulty, and the whole ore body is mixed with a lot of other things, and the uranium oxide content is less than three percent. After tossing for a long time, the crude ore output of Vale has only reached 50 tons per year, which is a bit big difference with the thousands of tons dug up a year in Lin Youde's memory.

As for other uranium mines with higher purity, Lin Youde does not remember the location, only that there is a piece of underground in South Australia that requires deep drilling technology.

So far, the total amount of uranium ore in Lin Youde's hands is so small, it is not weapon-grade, maybe he can't even make half a mushroom egg.

It's no wonder that the Yankees, who were in the same time and space as Kaihang, used all their strength to create three mushroom eggs.

Lin Youde thought of the thoughts he had spent on the mushroom eggs in the past ten years, and could only shake his head and smile bitterly.

Isabella, on the other hand, was obviously not interested in such a difficult weapon, and she probably didn't think that there was a weapon that would be more powerful than the Divine Queen.

"How's your Plan V going?" Isabella changed her tone and turned to the new type of magic armor that Lin Youde decided to develop the year before, "If you can go into battle this year, it will be of great benefit to your ambitious plan to annex Ukraine." ”

"Actually, it's not particularly smooth." Lin Youde shook his head, "Our Institute of Theoretical Physics has indeed gathered the world's top talents, so there is no problem in theory, but those theoretical researchers need others to turn their ideas into reality, I don't lack genius engineers here, but I am short of powerful magic technicians." ”

In fact, an important reason for the lack of technicians was that Lin Youde was worried that the senior magic technician was a member of the magic guide technician association, and he didn't want to leak the technology to the organization that had helped others assassinate him. Therefore, Lin Youde only uses those young magic guide technicians who are confirmed to be popular and specialized, and the abilities of these technicians generally need to be honed.

However, what makes Lin Youde more relieved is that several scientists in the Institute of Physics who are interested in magic technology seem to have mastered some magic guide production technology, and they are still studying the generalization and assembly line of magic guide technology, at least in terms of alchemy, their results are gratifying.

According to the report they submitted at the end of 1939, by 1945, the pure gold and mythril produced by the alchemy production line would initially meet the demand for mass production of sea female foxes - Lin Youde really wanted to tell the nerds after reading this report that there was no point in mass-producing sea female foxes, because there were not so many people to open them.

However, it's always good to have Adamantite and Mithril for other conventional weapons, and it's not uncommon to produce as much as you can.

But Lin Youde is still not sure what the situation will be in 1945, after all, he has decided to fight Stalingrad (this time and space is still called Tsaritsyn), maybe trigger some "special event", what BUFF will be added to the Russians, and someone will push it back.

Isabella obviously didn't know what Lin Youde was thinking with a worried expression at this time, and she murmured softly: "If you lack a strong technician, then there is no way." ”

"I'm sorry, but I can only let you continue to fight the Russians with your current equipment."

Isabella put her arms around Lin Youde's neck and said affectionately: "It's okay, we didn't have much expectation for the new armor to be quickly equipped, after all, the current Shenji magic armor has been perfected, and we know very well how difficult it is to surpass the current design." Those small improvements are already very rare. ”

Lin Youde smiled.

At this time, Ysera opened the door and came in, glancing at Lin Youde and Isabella.

"I ...... Is it bothering you, Daddy, Mom Isabella? ”

"No, it's okay, we're just making out a little bit." Isabella hurriedly straightened up.

**

After Lin Youde designated the use of Manstein's plan, the high command came to protest as usual, but because of the great success of the winter offensive in 39, this time the protest of the high command appeared to be much weaker, so Lin Youde did not make much effort to make the German high command obediently annoying.

However, Lin Youde also compromised a little, splitting the offensive he was about to launch from a coherent combination of punches into two heavy punches.

The compromise plan was to launch an offensive in March 1940 aimed at completely annihilating the Russian forces around Lublin and retaking the important city. The offensive is expected to end in two to three weeks, and by the end of the offensive the Germans will have mastered Lublin and the surrounding area, posing a huge threat to the Russian flank in Warsaw. The Germans would then consolidate the defenses of Lublin, while quickly repairing the railway from the Polish hinterland to Lublin, in preparation for the relocation of the base of operations of the goddesses to Lublin.

The offensive also included a small-scale offensive that would drive Russian forces away from the southern side of Warsaw and retake the railway embankment from Warsaw to Lublin.

The assault on Lublin will be under the responsibility of Army Group B, while the offensive south of Warsaw will be under the responsibility of Army Group A.

After the capture of Lublin, the Germans will prepare for three months, and then launch an offensive against Ukraine in late June and early July, which will be carried out by Army Group B, with the goal of advancing the front west of the Dnieper River and eliminating Russian forces deployed in the vast area between the Ukrainian border and the Dnieper.

According to this new plan, when the Germans take control of Lublin, the Russian army is likely to misjudge the German army's combat intentions and thus transfer a large number of Zhanji troops to the Warsaw area. Therefore, Army Group B's own battle kites will be enough to deal with the Russian army forces in Ukraine, and Army Group B will also receive a sufficient number of sonic weapon generators.

In addition, the teaching units of the Tiger tank will join the attack.

The two-step battle plan would involve a total of about 2.5 million troops, which would be put into operation one after the other, and would therefore be deployed in a stepped manner in the departure area in southern Poland. In addition, in the rest of Poland, the Germans will amass two million troops, nearly one million of which will be deployed on the northern and central fronts, which will be used to defend against Russian attacks and serve as reserves for the entire campaign.

That is, with the Carpathian defenses, the German army on the entire Eastern Front would be more than five million, and with the Polish troops and the troops of other countries in the Allies, the Polish front would have more than six million troops massed. Of these troops, about 2.8 million are deployed in the front line, and the rest are deployed in the deep hinterland.

In order to ensure the supply of the army of six million, the entire German industry and agriculture had to go all out, in addition to purchasing large quantities of agricultural products from France and Spain to meet the demand, Lin Youde could already predict how Xia Li would make a big fuss about the German orders as the credit of his own dedication.

On the Russian side, intelligence shows that the number of Russian troops in Poland at this time has exceeded three million, plus the Russian troops assembled in Belarus and Ukraine ready to be put into combat shifts, there are as many as eight million Russian troops on the entire front.

Nearly two years after the start of the war, Lin Youde finally had the feeling that he was fighting a world war, and compared with this huge Eastern Front war, Britain's previous offensive was simply pediatric.

Lin Youde gave this offensive plan a code name: Star No. 1 Operation.

No one understood why it was called, but Lin Youde firmly believed that this was the most suitable code name for this grand plan.
