Yes, how can we make a victory that has not happened real? The question arose not only in Voroshilov's mind, but also in the minds of Khrushchev and Yezhov. This victory that must come true is the life talisman and the god platform for the three of them.

"News from Spain. As if to start the topic again, Voroshilov talked about something that had nothing to do with it: "The Germans have now conquered Krakow and threatened the central Polish city of Radom. They have opened the Danzig Corridor in northern Poland and are advancing south towards Warsaw......"

Khrushchev raised his eyebrows and wanted to slap the table and stand up and shout at Voroshilov, but after pressing the table twice, he finally gave up this childish plan. Having been cautious in front of Stalin for so many years, he is no longer the young man with a cerebral congestion at the mention of capitalist countries.

Yezhov also knew the meaning of the strings, and calculated the gains and losses in his mind. In his eyes, Germany, which had expelled the Communists and fought against the Comintern, was not a difficult country to touch, and the Führer, who was far away in Berlin, was a reputable partner.

He Yezhov had no objection to Germany, and even had some affection for the self-proclaimed Third Reich. He and his German counterparts had tacitly carried out a series of tacit cooperation on the Tukhachevsky case, and there was even a bit of a friendship between them.

"We sent people to Germany to make a new agreement with the Germans. Yezhov thought for a moment and said: "As long as we cede some more Polish territory to them, I think they will not disagree with our demands." ”

"I'm afraid this matter is not so smooth. Khrushchev shook his head and said: "The German army is already approaching Warsaw, as long as they maintain this speed of attack, they can easily get the Polish territory they want, the original treaty is beneficial to them, they will not agree to re-sign the treaty." ”

Perhaps even Khrushchev himself did not pay attention to his own attitude, and he did not object to contacting Germany to redraw the treaty, but acquiesced in this proposal and slightly put forward some of his own opinions. In fact, he also knew that the war could no longer change the outcome, and that he could only secure his position through compromise.

As soon as Voroshilov saw that these two people had expressed their positions, he also expressed his thoughts and thoughts: "Whether it succeeds or not, we must always give it a try." After all, there are still hundreds of thousands of Polish troops on the Soviet-Polish border, and we can only attack so smoothly with us to contain them. I just don't know how Comrade Stalin's side should ......?"

"We'll hand you the report, and we'll need your signature, Marshal. When Khrushchev saw that the matter had settled, he exhaled a turbid breath and snorted: "But the offensive must continue! ”

"It is still possible to execute a group of disobedient people, concentrate some food and ammunition of the second-line troops, and launch an offensive in a certain local area. Voroshilov hurriedly said: "It's just that winning or losing is not guaranteed." ”

"I can't care so much. The offensive must be carried out. Yezhov glanced at Khrushchev, and then said to Voroshilov: "As long as we can persuade the Germans to cede a part of the Polish territory to us, you and I will be the heroes of the country when we return to Moscow, and if things fail, there is no need to go back, just decide for yourself here." ”

"Well!" Khrushchev nodded: "What Comrade Yezhov said is very reasonable, for the sake of our great motherland, for the sake of the great leader Comrade Stalin, no matter what conditions the Germans offer, we will agree to them!"

"What do we want? Of course we won't embarrass our Soviet allies!" At the same time, at the Führer's Mansion in Berlin, Germany, Accardo and Augustus were sitting on the sofa looking at a map of Poland. Accardo smiled and said to Augustus, who was drinking coffee.

"My Führer, the Soviets must be in a hurry. Their emissaries are expected to have arrived in Romania by this time to negotiate with our garrison. Augustus was optimistic about the great picture in front of him, even a little more radical than Accardo.

"The French are holding their ground, presumably waiting for us to go to war with the Soviet army. The British even secretly sold 3 million barrels of oil to Italy, secretly supporting our eastward advance. With this wind, we could have ended the Polish campaign in a month's time. Augustus pointed to the map and said: "Let Merkel send someone to Turkey, meet with the representatives of the British, and tell them about our 'difficulties'...... Operationally, there was no problem in dragging the war with France until the beginning of 1938. ”

"I intend to expand 20 divisions, 3 armored divisions, and send them as reserves to the German-French border area. Accardo thought for a moment and said: "These units were recruited from Czechoslovakia, Austria, Hungary and other regions, and were staffed with Wehrmacht officers. ”

Augustus thought for a moment, then held his chin and raised the question: "I think we can let some veterans return to serve in the army and be responsible for training these foreign troops with average combat ability." However, the Germans made up at least half of these troops. ”

Accardo knew that this was a safe opinion, and nodded in agreement: "This is a very safe construction, but it will affect the speed of these troops to the front line, and also limit the speed of the next expansion of the army." ”

"My Führer!" said Augustus, waving his hand, and continued his exhortation, "sometimes quantity is very important, but you must not give up quality because you are too impatient! ”

Accardo sighed and coughed embarrassedly, "Mr. Augustus is right, I'm too impatient. I had to be on guard against the worst of a war on both fronts, so I was anxious to expand my army to a sufficient number. ”

Augustus stared at the map of Poland for a few seconds before he spoke and gave Accardo a suggestion: "Regarding the training of the army, many generals have their own understanding, and in the army, the generals closest to the Führer's idea are undoubtedly Guderian and Rommel, but I think the Führer would prefer them to continue to charge at the front." ”

Seeing that Accardo nodded, Augustus continued: "Then there are Brauchitsch and General Rundstedt (Rundstedt in the previous article, the reader uses Rundstedt as the official translation in the later text) and others. It is a bit overkill to use it for military training. ”

"General Bock?" Acardo suddenly thought of the old general Bock, who was most in the staff department.

"Now that the Führer has a candidate, I also think that General Bock is competent enough to do it. Augustus agreed.

"The Royal Navy has not been as active as it has been since the war, and after forcing our high seas fleet into Wilhelmshaven, they have been mainly on surveillance, and there is no sign of a large-scale sortie. Accardo secretly remembered this, and changed the subject with a smile: "The British don't want to fight yet!" ”

"Instead of thinking unrealistically about Britain, let's think about how the Soviets can open their mouths. Augustus smiled in response and said to himself.

Then he pointed to the eastern part of Poland, and his old face was full of ravines: "It is obviously unrealistic to ask for fuel and food, in case you turn your face, these long-term supplies are equivalent to nothing." ”

Accardo nodded: "Mr. Augustus and I have come together, and I plan to make a one-time deal with the Soviet Union this time, so that they can immediately give us what we want." But I'll sell you, and ask Mr. Augustus to guess what I intend to want?"

The situation of the Germans, also in the face of the Polish defenders, was completely different. Rommel's forces had been countered earlier by Polish troops, but his troops withstood the counterattack and inflicted heavy losses on the Polish forces in the north. The equally heroic Polish defenders played completely different results on the eastern and western fronts.

On the eastern frontier, they were able to prevent the invasion of the outnumbered Soviet Red Army, and it can be said that they won a great victory, but on the western front, they were defeated by the German Wehrmacht, who were outnumbered by them, and lost their cities and lost thousands of miles.

What happened to Wren and others of the 3rd SS Panzer Division in the south also happened several times in the north, when the desperate Polish cavalry launched an attack on the German army, only to collapse in the face of dense fire from the German troops, and finally ended up in the end of the whole army.

In fact, the legend of Polish cavalry attacking German tanks was not common, and the Polish army was not as ignorant as one might think. The cavalry attacking the German army was divided into two situations: one was a forced counterattack because they were hit by German tanks on the way back, and the other was forced to attack because they were ordered to break through the encirclement.

Whatever the reason, however, the Polish army, equipped with a large number of cavalry, did use cavalry to storm German armored forces on local battlefields, and paid a heavy price for it. Of course, these cavalry did not just attack the German tank units, they also attacked the German infantry, attacked the German cavalry...... Appropriately, they are attacking any enemy unit they encounter.

The German army in the north, with the 7th Panzer Army as the vanguard, attacked all the way to the southeast, like a huge axe, splitting the Polish Modlin Corps, which had just retreated slowly because the flanks were threatened, and completely crushed the Polish regiment that had been holding on to the southern border of East Prussia for three days.

The commander-in-chief of the Modlin Corps committed suicide in his own headquarters, all the Polish defenders in the entire northeast were put into a huge pocket, there were no supplies and 500,000 Polish defenders in the rear surrendered to the Germans, the gates of the whole of northern Poland were opened, and Warsaw was only a few days away from the German forward troops.

It was at this time that the Polish leaders, who had lost all news of their troops, received a sympathetic telegram from the French: "We share your suffering with all our hearts, and we have full confidence in your continued resistance-

Guess what the Soviets paid for the first place?
