Chapter 968: There is no art to war
Xu Fei unfolded the movement map of the various units in the German theater and continued:
"Now the German war situation seems extremely strange to outsiders, the Allies on the southern front have ceased fighting, and in the early hours of this morning, Field Marshal Dönitz, the representative of the Greek madman, signed an armistice on behalf of Germany and Eisenhower, the commander-in-chief of the Allied forces;
As the instigator of the European war, Germany's war potential had been exhausted, and it had always relied on our secret support to keep the subsequent war undefeated;
It is not surprising that Germany would agree to an armistice this time, and the reason why the Allies took the initiative to mention the armistice was because of their internal unrest and economic collapse, and if the war was not ended quickly, their domestic unrest would intensify;
In the choice of relative interests, Germany can no longer pose a threat to them, but it will not be able to defeat it for a while and a half, and the interests we occupy make them extremely red-eyed;
Southeast Asia, the Middle East, the Suez Canal and the Panama Canal, these are incomparably great interests for them, and it is inevitable that they will choose to abandon the German side of the relatively small interest in order to fight us;
Now that the Allied forces are constantly being sent to all parts of North Africa, everyone should understand why they will send their troops to North Africa instead of staying on their homeland, which is the means of these Western countries, the war is not on their own territory, it is fought on someone else's territory, it doesn't matter how tattered it is, and the local country will be opposed by the people.
The Allies had signed an armistice with Germany, but the Russians were still in the dark, and they were continuing to increase their troops in northern Germany, according to the madman. That is, to fight to Berlin, capture the Greek madman alive, send him to the parade on Red Square, and then try him;
By the way, he was also prepared to deal with me in the same way, but now Germany has no pressure on the southern front. In two or three days at most, the Soviet-Russian front will find that the Luftwaffe has more than doubled in number, and then it will be known that their untrustworthy allies have completely abandoned them;
What will happen to the situation in the Soviet Union is what we need to be concerned about, whether they will continue to attack or retreat after learning the news, it is related to the speed of our advance in Soviet Russia, according to the calculations of the General Staff, what will they do? ”
Xu Fei said that when he said this, he looked at Zhao Wei, a staff officer, and the results of the analysis from the operations center of the domestic staff headquarters would be transmitted to him first, so Xu Fei would ask him.
"The General Staff analyzes the actions of enemy troops based on intelligence from all sides and what we have. After learning of this, the Russians may give up attacking Germany, but they will not sign an armistice with Germany;
We expect the Russian army attacking Germany to withdraw to the area from Luhansk to Rostov as the main force for a second decisive battle with us. Zhao Wei stood up and looked at everyone and said in a deep voice.
Xu Fei asked Zhao Wei to sit down and said with a smile:
"You can see it. An armistice agreement in Germany, which added more than 8 million enemies to Egypt and more than 4 million enemies to Soviet Russia, is actually very good. The pros outweigh the cons for us. Destroying the enemy's living forces and elite troops at once will be much easier in our subsequent battles;
However, we also have to pay attention to one point, this is the result of the normal military exercise of our staff, and that guy can't be treated as a normal person, and if I expect it to be good, the madman will maintain the plan of wanting to win on both fronts.
Next, I will make arrangements, Li Tieshan will be in charge of this land war as the deputy commander-in-chief of the Egyptian campaign, and General Chen Jigang and his troops will be the main vanguard to sweep away the enemy. This requires you to coordinate with each other how to deploy the Special Operations Team in the event of heavy enemy forces in various places;
I'm going to play naval battles this time, so I won't intervene in the ground station except to learn about the progress. I hope that this time you will be able to end the whole Egyptian campaign as much as possible, and then continue to advance and drive all the Allied forces to the sea;
I will block the Mediterranean coastline at the right time, and then my task force will go to the Strait of Gibraltar and cut off their back routes, more than 10 million free laborers, which will give us as much space as we can build. ”
Xu Fei likes to kill devils and catch the allies the most, especially after capturing millions of allied soldiers, Xu Fei found that the speed of construction is very fast;
Now that the heavy track in Egypt and behind the front line has been completed, and some of those people have been withdrawn to the Middle East to carry out large-scale construction, it will only take a few million people to complete this seemingly huge military construction.
This time, the two 800 train guns that destroyed the Japanese army were transported to Egypt, and Xu Fei demanded that this time the range of the giant cannon would no longer be controlled, and he would fight as he should;
As the war progressed, the heavy tracks were built along the coastline, and whether or not they were retained in the future depended on how the final post-war treaty was signed.
"It's okay, Commander, you can go and play at sea, and throw all the Allied fleets into the sea, are you still worried about so much equipment on the ground." Chen Jian just said after Xu Fei finished speaking.
Li Tieshan also nodded and smiled:
"We don't rely on ground forces to fight, we just need to defend before the war, and once the war starts, there will be no pressure on us;
As long as the commander commands the naval battle with confidence, we will definitely be able to complete the set plan and make due contributions to the future of China with victory. ”
"Okay, there are still two days before the start of the war, Commander Li, you remember that this time we need to wait for the Allies to attack first, we have to make a passive defensive appearance, and after defeating their air force, we will just send bomber groups to continuously launch air strikes against them;
We only have 400,000 troops here, and on the face of it it seems that we only have the strength to defend and cannot counterattack, so we will give the Allies this opportunity to keep their troops in North Africa and we will not be too late to counterattack;
Although General Chen Jiang's special operations unit is the vanguard of the operation, we must also remember that this time we are preparing to completely annihilate the enemy, and we will honestly wait at the beginning, and once we start to counterattack, then you need to intimidate the enemy with a killing posture. Xu Fei said with a faint smile.
Another part of the Egyptian strategy is the decapitation operation, which can destroy the enemy's will by killing the enemy's leaders at all levels, Xu Fei will not mention this matter for the time being, it needs to be completed by the enemy's North African arrangement.
A pre-war meeting did not discuss much about the deployment of the war, but to familiarize everyone with the development of the whole world, Xu Fei decided not to interfere in the Egyptian war, but gave them the stage steps of the development of the war, this is to avoid the situation where the rest of the Allied forces remain in Europe because of the rapid defeat;
Once that situation occurs, the destruction of the Japanese army will require the attack of one country after another, which will consume more time, for Xu Fei to waste more time is very unnecessary, but a quick battle needs to seize the opportunity to control the rhythm, although the war has no art, it requires countless control and carving.
