One hundred and sixty-seven, we come from the future (II)

In an empty cell, my pencil in hand.

Sketching my memories, writing is not a sigh.

In the courtroom where I was being judged, he spoke hoarsely.

Reading between the lines is crazy, revealing my ambition.

In the crowded Berlin, my voice echoed.

Inciting fanatical hearts, breaking the crystals of the night.

……

Iron hooves always move forward, even if there are thousands of enemies ahead!

The New Year never changes, singing the Psalms:

Vow to last the empire for 10,000 years!

I am the righteous enemy, who has no mercy, who dies by the gun.

The baptism of blood has become a steely military discipline.

I have made up my mind not to give up, even if the flames of war are ignited.

To defeat you, my eternal enemy, Stalin.

……

Paris at gunpoint, Nazi flags fluttering everywhere.

In the night sky of Britain, the Iron Cross flew by.

The treaty was signed on the Fuxi train, would the war be over?

The German army took another step to make those who underestimated the enemy pay.

Fighter planes roared, and our army was on the offensive.

The smell of gunsmoke, the purging of death, the wailing everywhere I went.

I am the righteous enemy, who has no mercy, who dies by the gun.

The baptism of blood has become a steely military discipline.

I have made up my mind not to give up, even if the flames of war are ignited.

To defeat you, my eternal enemy, Stalin.

……

The snowflakes of Eastern Europe, which keep falling, are God's punishment.

The pompousness of the front. Confused, I can't perceive.

The knight's steeds fell one after another, and the blood stained the landscape.

Flocks of crows. Ruthlessly pushed me off a cliff.

……

Broken glass, ruined walls, and mournful Berlin.

Waiting for the dawn, the miracle of Frederick the Great.

Corpses all over the ground, life and death parting, it seems that none of this makes sense.

The battle of Zuihou, holding on to weapons. I secretly wept.

The sound of gunfire in the bunker ended my life.

Leaving the eternal question, is it a sinner or a hero?

……

This ending song recalls the life of Hitler's FΓΌhrer. The large-scale documentary "Memoirs of a Panorama of the Soviet-German War", which is equipped with both German and Russian subtitles, has finished showing a single scene, leaving only a lengthy list of actors and film crews, which continues to flip in mournful songs.

It may seem like a normal movie theater end, but the only problem is that. This happened in the late summer of July 1935.

Therefore. When the ceiling light of the small cinema screening room was lit up again, and the word "end" was also printed on the movie screen, the generals and colonels of the German Advisory Group in China still looked a little blinded and in a trance, as if they were in a dream.

The faces of the Soviet officers and political workers sitting next to them were filled with almost the same bewildered expressions.

-- Over the past eight hours, they have used various historical photographs, statistical charts, maps, documentaries and war films from various countries, as well as interviews with later generations of experts, scholars, and war parties. Get a first-hand look at the four-year Soviet-German war between 1941 and 1945 – or, as the Soviets call it: the Great Patriotic War – after the initial shock had passed. The soldiers of the Soviet Union and Germany gathered all their spirits and carefully watched the explanations of each major battle during the period, but still let out a few low exclamations from time to time: because many people have seen acquaintances, superiors, subordinates, colleagues, and even their future selves in the film or materials!

Especially when the film is shown near the end - when the Soviet soldiers plant the sickle, hammer and red flag on the roof of the Reichstag in Berlin, the members of the German advisory group are certainly clenching their fists and tendons, but the Soviet officers are also in a solemn mood and cannot give any cheers.

After the whole film was screened, because there was no Chinese receptionist to come in and speak, the Germans and Soviets looked at each other with strange eyes, and then spontaneously gathered at opposite ends of the screening hall to form two small circles and whispered about the war that had not yet happened.

In fact, some of them are almost crazy, which is far beyond the scope of their common sense: no one can imagine that the plot of American science fiction will one day happen to them, and a group of future Chinese will descend on this shijie, who have extremely advanced jishu, know the direction of future history, and unabashedly reveal it...... Rather than getting your head pumped by the ins and outs of this matter, it's better to discuss familiar military topics - and a way to divert attention!

β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»

I have to admit that the scenes of brutal war that have just been screened have brought great mental torture to both the Germans and the Soviets.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ My God! Although the start was much better than last time, Germany still lost again after all, and even worse than the last time! ”

-- This is what the Germans are talking about. They are saddened by the brief glories and bleak endings of their homeland's future.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ We finally won, but so many people died! What a terrible price to pay! Such a victory is also too bitter! ”

-- This is the view of the Soviets. Although they had the pride of being victors, they were always haunted by the staggering number of sacrifices.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Stalingrad...... This name soaked in blood and the stench of corpses! In the last war, we lost 430,000 men in Verdun, France, and more than 500,000 in the French, which is called a meat grinder. And in Stalingrad, our side alone had to pay the sacrifice of 1.5 million people, not counting the Soviets...... Great god of war, your appetite for flesh and blood sacrifices is too great! ”

-- This is the muttering of a German colonel who saw his "future self" in the photographs of the Battle of Stalingrad.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Leningrad...... The siege lasted 872 days...... The unprecedented famine...... Soldiers and workers ate sawdust-laced black bread, while ordinary civilians could not even eat sawdust-mixed sawdust...... The death of 1.5 million Soviet soldiers and civilians...... The bloodiest battle in the history of Shijie. During the winter of 1941-1942, when all the birds, rats and pets were eaten by the survivors, there was even cannibalism in the city. The Leningrad police thus formed a special division to prevent human cannibalism...... Hell, should I have persuaded Mom and Natasha to move from Leningrad as soon as possible? And then find a way to move to Yekaterinburg or Tashkent in the east? ”

-- This is the trembling murmur of a member of the Soviet "Cheka" who happened to live in Leningrad.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Barbarossa Jihua did play well in the early stages, and the tactical deception work was particularly good. When more than 100 divisions of the Northern, Central, and Southern groups launched a surprise attack on the east, most of the Soviet military units remained in peacetime, and the fighters of the Soviet Air Force were closely lined up by the runway, which were easily destroyed by the bombing units of our Air Force. The deployment of the Red Army was too scattered and unprepared, and the various Soviet military blocs were often unable to communicate with each other. There was also a lack of sufficient means of transport to regroup the scattered troops. Although the Red Army had a very large number of artillery, many of them were not equipped with ammunition. Artillery units also lacked transport vehicles and could not be deployed quickly. Despite the large number of tank units of the Red Army, it was extremely inexperienced and logistically inadequate. The level of maintenance is also very poor. The readiness of the troops was alarmingly poor and the rate of good equipment was low. Valuable tank units are often rushed into battle without any arrangement of fuel, ammunition, or personnel supplies. Usually after a single battle, the tank is destroyed or reimbursed...... All this allowed the Soviets to repeatedly break through the front by us, throughout the second half of 1941. From Minsk, Odessa, Kiev, to Sevastopol. One city after another fell into the hands of our army. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Unfortunately, Russia's territory was so vast that even with mechanized troops, blitzkrieg tactics such as those against France and Poland would not work. And Moscow's mobilization order finally worked. Although Stalin foolishly sent one division after another like walnuts to our army group and crushed it, each of which lasted less than a day or two on average, he still bought enough time for general mobilization...... So our sharp offensive was stopped in Leningrad, Moscow and Stalingrad, and then there was an irretrievable reversal of the tide of the war and the collapse of the whole front......"

-- This is a discussion and dialogue between the German staff officers after reviewing the entire Soviet-German war.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ It seems that in modern warfare, it is no longer enough to completely annihilate the enemy's army in a single campaign, and it is necessary to strike through successive campaigns to be effective. We must learn how to choose a certain range of depth in one strategic area and organize multiple campaigns without major pauses. Forcing the enemy forces to be unable to rest and replenish, adjust their deployments and put them into reserves, so as to finally achieve the goal of completely annihilating the enemy's battle group in Xiangshang......"

β€œβ€¦β€¦ But we simply don't have the experience to organize that kind of super-conference battle that is linked by the ring. This kind of tactical experience is not something that any genius can imagine from sitting in his office -- it is necessary to organize, coordinate, and manage multiple armies and air forces of millions of people, and to carry out breakthroughs hundreds of kilometers in depth...... It seems that no one has ever experienced a war of this magnitude in the past! The 'Brusilov Offensive' in the last great war had invested so many troops, but the distance to break through in depth was not so far. And when we fought against the White Guards, most of the troops invested in the battle were only the scale of divisions to armies. It seems that we have lost touch with the times......"

- This is the sigh of the commander of the Soviet army after discussing the scale of the Soviet-German war.

They were discussing vigorously with a variety of opinions, while drinking pot after pot of tea and coffee, and smoking countless cigarettes...... Zuihou, both the Germans and the Soviets, fell silent, looking at each other with strange eyes while reminiscing about the whole process of the war.

At this moment, Wang Qiu and others, who were wearing the dress of the People's Liberation Army in later generations, finally appeared belatedly.

β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Ladies and gentlemen, this is our historical Soviet-German war - what the USSR called the Great Patriotic War, of course. This is one of the few epic and magnificent wars in human history. It has led countless descendants to tirelessly study every detail of this war. ”

Wang Qiu held a wireless microphone and spoke so eloquently to the crowd, while the entourage next to him immediately translated it into Russian and German. β€œβ€¦β€¦ But it was also the most tragic and bloody war of the twentieth century, because it led to astonishing destruction and casualties. You're all losers, to put it mildly! Germany, as a defeated country, of course, has no place to die, and the Soviet Union, as a victorious country, actually has more to gain than it loses! ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ On the Soviet-German battlefield, although the artistic war command talent created by the German generals was widely praised and respected by later generations, this could not hide the defeat of the German nation! You will suffer four million casualties on the battlefields of Eastern Europe. Nearly 10 million civilians, and forever lost all of East Prussia, half of West Prussia, and Silesia and Pomerania. A total of 200,000 square kilometers of rich territory, more than one-third of the total area of the country! Even the rest of the country will be divided in two, and it will take half a century of confrontation and isolation before reunification can be restored.

Despite the efforts of future German statesmen, Germany, which had been divided into eastern and western parts, was able to reunite at the end of the century. And avenged it by promoting the collapse of the Soviet Union. But the status of a great power was lost, and the lands that had been lost to Poland were likewise never to be returned, because the Germans who lived on it were forcibly expelled, and East Prussia would become the homeland of the Poles in the future......

In short, you Germans started World War II to recover Danzig and Alsace, but ended up losing even more! And in the future, these lost things cannot be recovered! And the dream of empire, which dominated Europe, turned out to be a fantasy as well! ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ But on the other hand. For the Soviets, although the zuihou victory of this terrible war was achieved. Having annexed the three Baltic states, seized portions of Poland and East Prussia, and dominated the political order of Central and Eastern Europe for nearly half a century after the war, it became one of the two superpowers that dominated Shijie, but the staggering casualty figures make such a victory almost worth the loss - you will lose at least 27 million soldiers and civilians in this war! West of Moscow is completely reduced to ruins! The problem of underpopulation was not solved until many years later!

What is even more terrifying is that because the Russians, as the main nation, bear the largest proportion of casualties in the war, the proportion of domestic ethnic components in the Soviet Union is further imbalanced, and the main ethnic group only accounts for half of the total population, laying a hidden danger for the future disintegration of the state.

The three Baltic coastal states that you painstakingly annexed will be the vanguard of the collapse of the Soviet Union and the landing of the red flag in the future; Places like Lviv, which you have drawn from Poland, will in the future become the biggest source of Ukrainian independence and anti-Russian movements, as well as strongholds for neo-Nazis...... Not only did these new additions not increase the strength of the country, but when they were separated in the future, they also tore away other large areas of the original territory!

In fact, Russia has been vast and sparsely populated since ancient times, and the need to expand its territory and fight for living space is not urgent. Back in tsarist times, the most lacking thing in Russia was not land, but a reliable core population, especially the population of the main ethnic group, the Russians! And through the victory in the Soviet-German war, the USSR sacrificed a large number of valuable people in exchange for some already surplus land, as well as a few allies who were always dragging their feet...... Whether from the point of view of liberating all mankind and reddening the whole world, or from the point of view of the Soviet Union's own interests, it seems that it is a loss!

In short, the huge casualties of the Soviet-German war and the resulting demographic changes seriously shook the foundations of the Soviet Union. The new territories and people that have been created through the war have in turn increased the instability of the country. The result of the unworthy superpower status and the bipolar confrontation with the United States has led to the blockade and hostility of most of the country, forcing the country to go further and further down the wrong path of excessive militarization, so that it has collapsed with a bang, and your territory in Europe has once again regressed to the size of the Grand Duchy of Moscow......"

Speaking of this, Wang Qiu paused slightly, looked around at the thoughtful crowd, and then expressed his conclusion.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Since this war is on a grand scale, it will bring nothing but catastrophe and disaster to both of you. Even if you get some benefits for a while, it won't be long before you spit out all the benefits with you, so that the gains outweigh the losses...... So, what are you going to do with each other? Is it so that the Americans can reap the real fruits of victory, so that the Anglo-Saxon nation will forever occupy the supreme throne of the ruler of Shijie?

To put it bluntly, isn't it that the Germanic peoples want to expand their living space, and the Slavs want to find an outlet to the warm sea? It's not like there's no way to get the best of both worlds. We have here some information and suggestions from future experts for your reference, which we hope you will bring back to Comrade Stalin and Herr Hitler, and that in the future new consultations will begin on further cooperation and deals between our three parties...... In order to show our sincerity, we are willing to sell all kinds of advanced jishu in the future shijie to all friendly countries, even including powerful nuclear weapons! ”

Wang Qiu suddenly released a bombshell in public, and then patted it to announce the disbandment, "...... Well, friends from Germany, I think you must have a lot to say in private, so please go back and rest first. As for the comrades of the Soviet Union, please leave a few follow-up details that need to be considered a little as to the next draft of our joint action against Japan......"

β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Whew, it's finally settled. It's a shame that there is such a big piece of fat meat as the Japanese archipelago to share, otherwise it really can't be discussed. ”

After sending off the Soviet comrades, Wang Qiu called Fang Zhimin to report the negotiations, "...... Didn't the Russians always want an ice-free port facing the warm sea, and always looked at China's Port Arthur? Then, if the Kuril Islands, the southern part of Sakhalin Island, and Hokkaido Island, which Japan occupied, were assigned to the Soviet Union, and then several military ports such as Sendai and Tsugaru were leased on Honshu Island, it should be able to reach Lushun.

Yes? What do we take? Outer Mongolia was mainly free of independence and returned to China, but enjoyed a high degree of autonomy and carried out complete demilitarization. Then adjust the border a little at the mouth of the Tumen River, leaving us with an outlet to the Sea of Japan -- about a dozen kilometers wide. What the? When did the Soviet troops in the Far East send troops? Supplies are already being prepared there, but the specific date has not yet been finalized, and it is estimated that it will be around August......

What the? The imperialist powers have not yet conceded defeat, the Japanese are still planning a dying counterattack, and large areas of China's lost territory have not yet been recovered, so it is a bit too early to talk about carving up Japan? Don't worry, Comrade Fang Zhimin, the imperialist powers are just dead ducks, everything is under control! (To be continued......)
