Chapter 1989: Interests and Friends
The words of the German Führer Hitler are obviously another big outrage? Field Marshal Clayderman expected that the Third Army Group, since the outbreak of the European war, has always been the elite assault group of Germany, fighting in the European theater, defeating the armies of almost all countries on the European continent, and is the first German army to enter the French capital Paris.
If the Third Army Group could not be used as the vanguard of the attack on Russia, and Marshal Clayderman could not have imagined that there was still that force that could undertake such a glorious and heavy task, could it be that the Führer thought that the Third Army Group, in the course of the battle against the Anglo-American coalition forces in the British mainland, had been consumed too much, and was already exhausted and could no longer be used?
Then I will use my actions to tell the Führer, the Third Army Group, which is in full swing, can be the first to enter France and England, and of course the first to attack Russia, so that the Third Army Group will become the first German army in the history of the Army to capture the capitals of three European powers, and it will go down in history, this is the glory and opportunity of being a professional soldier, we must strive for it!
Hitler did not give him another chance to speak generously, and said in an unquestioning tone: "Kleidermann, I know what you have to say, but an excellent commander must not only be brave and good on the battlefield and have the courage to sweep thousands of troops, but also have a long-term strategy and overall vision, and the attack of the Third Army Group on the British and American forces has suddenly stopped, what will the Russians think?" ”
Feng? Marshal Clayderman replied without hesitation: "My Führer, the Russians must think that our Third Army Group, as the main force in the battle against the Anglo-American coalition, has lost the ability to continue the offensive, or rather. Already exhausted and in need of rest, the war on British soil will not end soon, it will definitely be postponed! ”
Hitler laughed more and more proudly, "Clayderman, this is the meaning of the Third Army Group to stop attacking and stay in the British Isles!" ”
Marshal Clayderman's heart suddenly opened a skylight, and endless sunlight shone in. Instantly comprehended the Führer's intentions, and said excitedly: "My Führer, I understand, the Third Army Group stopped the final blow against the British and American coalition forces, and put a smoke screen. In order to confuse the Russians and make them think. German troops in a short time. It is impossible to get out of the British battlefield, and the plan of His Excellency the Führer is proceeding at a normal pace, and in March, an attack on Russia will be launched! ”
Hitler met with a brave and good marshal who won the three armies. Fiddling like a schoolboy, he became more and more proud, smiling at the Chief of the General Staff, Field Marshal Strongs, the head of the Gestapo Himmler. And Lieutenant General Kovor, head of the German General Intelligence Directorate, said: "It was not an easy task to convince our Field Marshal Clayderman and, thank God, my efforts have finally had the desired effect." ”
And these three bigwigs who are calling for wind and rain in Germany and holding heavy fists are also made a little shaky by Hitler's endless thinking, which can only be in line with dry laughter.
Marshal Clayderman said with some shame: "Your Excellency, please forgive your subordinates for their stupidity and the offensive words just now. After speaking, a "snap" was upright.
Hitler said: "No, Clayderman, your worries are not superfluous, the British and Americans will definitely take advantage of this rare respite to replenish their troops and weapons and equipment as much as possible to use the last line of defense to hold on to the British mainland, that arrogant Churchill, the calculating lame Roosevelt, will never be willing to give up Britain, and will inevitably fight to the end with our German army on the British mainland!" ”
Marshal Clayderman did not understand again, since the Führer knew that stopping the final blow to the Anglo-American coalition would bring so many sequelae when the situation of the war was favorable, how could he still ......?
Next, Hitler's words completely solved the doubts in his heart, "On this point, Clayderman, don't worry, I have ordered Admiral Dönitz, the commander of the Navy, to send all the warships and submarines of the Navy to block the Atlantic route from the mainland of the United States to Britain, and all ships bound for Britain, whether warships or merchant ships and civilian ships, will be sunk, so you don't need to worry about the Americans increasing their troops, and the British Isles will become a dead island, not to mention, in the Australian theater in the southwest Pacific, our ally the Japanese." , which would also involve most of Roosevelt's energy. ”
Marshal Clayderman was completely relieved, since the Führer had already made elaborate arrangements, what else was he worried about?
Hitler then said to Himmler and Lieutenant General Kovor: "The rest is a matter for your intelligence services, and I ask you, by whatever means, to convince Stalin that the German army will not be able to withdraw from the British battlefield by the end of August of this year!" ”
Himmler and Korver hurriedly got up, stood up together, and accepted Hitler's task, "All right, you each go back to work, and Strongs stays!" Hitler said.
The three of them hurriedly took their leave, and Marshal Clayderman walked to the door of the office, hesitated, turned around and asked, "When will my Führer, the Third Army Group, resume the offensive against the Anglo-American forces?" ”
Hitler said dryly: "Wait for the order of the General Staff!" ”
Probably feeling that his tone was a little impatient, Hitler continued: "Clayderman, take advantage of this rare opportunity to recuperate, and enjoy the scenery of the British Isles, but the fog in London is still very annoying!" ”
In the huge office, there were only two people left, Hitler and Strongs, and Strangs knew what he should do next, "My Führer, I will immediately rush back to the General Staff and begin to organize the implementation of the 'Barbarossa Plan', and strive to launch an attack on Russia in March!" He said succinctly.
Hitler smiled deceitfully, shook his head again and again, and said: "No, Strongs, don't be in such a hurry, the 'Barbarossa Plan' is going on normally, and within March, it will definitely be started, but our military attack on Russia is not yet the time, we have to wait until the four million troops transferred to the East by Stalin, and the troops of my old friend Tang Qiuli, officially start the war, at the very least, until the Russian army enters the Outer Mongolia region, do you understand, Strongs?" ”
As Hitler's military assistant, how could Strongs not understand the Führer's intentions, and when the Russians and Chinese fought, Stalin's attention was all drawn to the East, and the Germans took the opportunity to strike the Russians by surprise, which was of course the best opportunity.
Even if Stalin wanted to withdraw from the East and transfer the four million troops in the East back to the direction of Europe, not to mention whether it was too late in time, with his own understanding of General Tang Qiuli, the deputy head of the Republic of China, he could lightly let the Russians leave, the young Chinese general, who was definitely not a good talker, would definitely fight, and the Führer's idea was very wonderful, which was equivalent to directly tying the Chinese to a chariot, and Germany and China joined forces to deal with the Russians.
However, for General Tang Qiuli's troops, it is very unfair, some sandpiper and clam fight, fishermen profit, four million Russian soldiers, my God, will drown hundreds of thousands of independent division troops in Outer Mongolia, this is a little ......, Marshal Strongs has not forgotten jì, Tang Qiuli's help to Germany, a little unbearable.
Marshal Strongs's expression all fell on Hitler's eyes, how could he not know what he really thought in his heart, and he also felt that he was doing something a little inauthentic, he blushed a little, and said with a little embarrassment: "Strongs, I know that this is indeed very unfair to my old friend Tang Qiuli, but for the sake of the German people, I can only do this." ”
"Strongs, you are responsible for writing a telegram to inform General Tang Qiuli of our plan in detail, and explain the reasons why we will not be able to attack Russia before the end of March, as for how to phrase it, you can do it at your discretion, in addition, in the telegram, you must add the following content, Germany will present to my old friend, 500 newly developed new fighters, and be responsible for training 500 fighter pilots, all expenses will be borne by the German government!"
After Hitler finished speaking, he hurriedly left the office as if evading, leaving only Marshal Strongs with mixed feelings in his heart, shaking his head and smiling bitterly, what did the Führer do, how to say, cover his ears and steal the bell, or ......?
Stalin's large-scale use of troops in the East could not hide the intelligence network of the Japanese, so naturally he would not stay out of the matter, and the line from Vladivostok to the Trans-Khingan Mountains was still occupied by the Kwantung Army.
In mid-February, Japanese Emperor Hirohito issued an edict to convene the Japanese military and political leaders and held a high-level military meeting in the palace.
In addition, the commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army, General Minamijiro, was also specially summoned to rush back to Tokyo to participate in this highest-level military conference, and the theme of the meeting was only one, how should Japan respond to the more than 4 million troops mobilized by Stalin to the East?
The atmosphere at the beginning of the military meeting was depressing and dreary, and none of the Japanese military and political bigwigs present at the meeting could not be relaxed, and the more than 4 million Soviet troops gathered west of the Ural Mountains one after another, like a storm of clouds, black and oppressive shrouded everyone's hearts.
The meeting lasted for more than three hours, and there was still no safe solution, and Emperor Hirohito, who was sitting on the main seat, looked more and more ugly.
