Chapter 1018 1019 Two Intelligence
The Führer's Mansion in Berlin, where the flowers are blooming, everything is so unpleasant and gorgeous. At least in front of Accardo's window, there would have been no bloody corpses, rubble, and craters. He was very, very far from the front line, just as far as Hitler's Reichstag on November 30, 1941, was from the front in another time and space.
If all the previous efforts could not really surpass Nazi Germany in another time and space, then as long as the troops on the front line attacked one step further, his Germany would go further than Hitler's Germany. And clearly, his forces are not going to go one step further.
"Dangdang. A slight knock on the door pulled Accardo back from his thoughts, and he looked up from the pile of reports and commanded, "Come in!"
"Long live the Führer!" said Gascol stood upright, then gave a German salute at the door before he walked in front of Accardo. With the latest news from the German intelligence in his hand, he hurriedly reported it to Accardo: "The information from the Far East, as well as from the beehives. ”
"Oh? Accardo didn't expect that this time there would be intelligence in the distant Far East, and he was very interested in this, after all, in that distant battlefield, there was still a force that was pulling the energy of the United States. At least in Accardo's mind, Japan is still a very useful existence.
Gascoll put the document in his hand on the only remaining position on Accardo's desk, then stood back in his place and said: "There are not many intelligence officers over there, we only know that the Soviet army has drawn a large number of defensive forces over there in an attempt to rescue Moscow, and the Japanese army has taken the opportunity to achieve certain results, but in general, the two sides are still in a very stalemate state." ”
"In addition, because of the timeliness problem, the information we get over there may be some evening, so this information can only reflect the battlefield situation about 2 weeks ago. Seeing that Accardo was not in a hurry to speak, Gascol paused and added: "Of course, we will still get some information if there are big changes, so there should be no changes over there." ”
Accardo nodded, of course he knew how capable Japan was. The current Japanese army's vain attempt to capture a large part of the Soviet Union's territory and occupy the entire Far East is simply a fool's dream, so Accardo is sure that even if the Soviet Union loses, Japan can only maintain the status quo.
He knew better than everyone that the Japanese army's logistical replenishment capability was even more rubbish than that of Germany. Now Germany is barely leveling its replenishment and the number of war losses by reducing its losses, but Japan's losses are not much less than in the previous life, and they cannot be replenished at all.
"Japan is already at the end of its power, and if nothing else, even if they don't make any big mistakes, they will be completely defeated by the United States in a year or a year and a half. There is not much time left for us to face the USSR alone. Accardo thought for a while before he slowly said to Gascoll: "Intelligence department, is there any way to help Japan?"
At present, Germany's strategy of vacillating from side to side on the Far East issue and attempting to use Japan to contain the United States can be said to have completely failed. If it wants to remotely control the victory or defeat of a national war in Asia in distant Europe, Germany's strength is really inadequate.
Originally, Accardo developed the Zero fighter for Japan in advance, but Japan almost beat the United States in the early stage of the war, and Yamamoto Fifty-six's super-level performance made Accardo immediately panic -- as a result, Germany made a stupid move to help the United States crack the deception of the invincible zero war.
Immediately afterwards, the Japanese Navy could not withstand the attrition and began to fully shrink its own defensive line. Accardo's plan to intervene in the Pacific War proved to be too superficial and lacked follow-up checks and balances, and the U.S. military achieved an overwhelming advantage in an instant, making it possible to shorten the duration of the Pacific War, which Germany hoped to prolong.
Reality has once again slapped Accardo in the face, and what has happened has once again proved that without an ocean-going navy and offshore bases, it is simply impossible to intervene in a war that breaks out in a distant place by outwitting alone. In fact, the problem facing Germany is very simple: it is just that the navy cannot drive up to the Pacific Ocean, so it will give the Americans a hard blow.
"I'm afraid we've lost the opportunity to do that. Gascoll regretfully replied to Accardo's question: "We tried many things, including finding a way to help the Japanese decipher the American code...... However, this work has not yet been finalized, and we have only mastered a part of the US military code, and there is still a long way to go before it is completely deciphered. ”
Accardo nodded helplessly, because he also knew that unless the Japanese were provided with this kind of invincible plug-in now, otherwise with Japan's meager family background, they really would not have the ability to consume it with the strong industrial strength of the United States. In one year at most, the United States will establish its absolute superiority in the Pacific theater and then turn its attention in other directions.
Thinking of this, Accardo set his sights on a stack of operational reports on the Soviet-German battlefield, from the Army General Staff, which contained specific plans for how to capture Moscow.
So he sneered in his heart: Roosevelt, even if you are really sure to kill those poor fools in Japan, but when you turn around and aim at me, Europe is already monolithic, and the Soviet Union no longer exists...... At that time, what can you do to compete with me?
Accardo glanced at Gascol who was standing in front of him, then waved his hand and said, "Forget it, since we don't have the ability to interfere in the distant Pacific theater, let's leave it alone for the time being...... At least we can finish all the important work in our hands first, and then watch the drama that others are playing. ”
"Yes, my Führer!" replied Gascor, looking up.
"So, another piece of news from the beehives, about the most recent abominable Soviet tank destroyers?" Accardo asked tentatively, frowning for a moment. After all, there has not been as much news about Chelyabinsk as there used to be, because the Germans have in fact firmly controlled the initiative on the battlefield on the Soviet-German front.
Gascoll, who was standing there, nodded, and immediately introduced: "The Soviet army is ordering the entire rear to speed up and use all tank chassis that can be modified to convert into self-propelled anti-tank artillery to make up for the gap in armored strength between the Soviet army and our army." ”
"The information given by the beehive is that in the last few days, Chelyabinsk has rushed to produce 100 T-34 chassis and SU-76 tank destroyers with closed fighting compartments. With that, Gascoll closed his mouth and stared at Accardo, who was listening, with his own eyes.
"This amount, twice as many King Tiger tanks that we have provided for the front line, if you count the Assault Panthers...... Roughly the same. Accardo calculated and found that even with such a simplification of the quality and performance of the equipment, the armored vehicles mass-produced by the Soviet Army were only at the current level of German production.
But this is still a terrible amount, considering that Germany was able to achieve such a rapid rate of tank production thanks to the various mechanical assembly lines used in German factories, as well as the thousands of skilled workers who happened to be in short supply or even non-existent in the Soviet Union.
"On the beehive side, did you say that there is any way to delay the production of this weapon as much as possible...... After all, this kind of thing is not a taxi, and it will cause certain losses to our troops. Accardo glanced at Gascoll, who was staring at him, and asked.
"The beehive means that if we can, it's up to us to come forward and bomb Chelyabinsk, and it might work well. Gascoll immediately replied that he himself was in favor of a long-distance strategic bombing by the Luftwaffe to destroy the Soviet heavy industrial base in Chelyabinsk.
Accardo shook his head and dismissed the suggestion. He said to Gascoll with some helplessness: "The second bombing of Iceland is in preparation, and the number of strategic bombers in our hands is limited, and it cannot meet the bombing needs in both directions at the same time. ”
Germany's strategic resources are too small, and it is completely impossible to produce thousands of B-17 strategic bombers like the United States, and the limited metal resources have to meet the needs of the navy, land, and air forces, and there are very few things allocated to the strategic bombers.
However, even so, the number of German Butcher strategic bombers could only hover around 600 at all times, taking into account the problem of fuel consumption, the speed of bomb production, and the number of targets to be bombed - this was the largest strategic bomber force that the German army could maintain.
......Just when Accardo rejected the suggestion of long-range strategic bombing, a telephone on his desk suddenly rang, so Anna, who had been standing behind him, quickly picked up the receiver of the ringing phone from a pile of phones.
"Hey, I'm Accardo. "Being able to hang the phone directly on the desk in the office of the Führer's mansion, presumably the identity of the person there is definitely one of the few big names in Germany, so Accardo didn't talk nonsense, and directly said his name, he listened to the content on the phone, and by the way, motioned to Gascoll to find a place to sit down.
