81_81266 The military meeting was held as scheduled, and the front-line generals who rushed back to participate and the generals of the army staff filled a small conference room. Accardo knew what could be done to bring these generals to their knees, and he had to show Hitler's housekeeping skills at this time, and talk about economics and politics to a group of generals.

Historically, Hitler had many ways to rise to power, but there were only two ways for him to communicate with the military: to support the generals he felt were right and to talk nonsense to generals who did not support him. Both methods had better results than expected: the former had unearthed command talents such as Guderian Rommel for Germany, and the latter had impressed many generals.

Do you know how many people Hitler persuaded to join his clique in this way? He and Bosch of the Farben group talked about the role of artificial rubber and synthetic gasoline in Germany, so the German chemical giant described Hitler to his assistant after the conversation: "He is smarter than I thought." ”

He talked to his generals about the important role of occupying the economic and industrial centers of the enemy's army, and hoped to change the mode of war with blitzkrieg - this impressed the military leadership, and more than half of the German generals felt that "this man understands military affairs." If Zhao Benshan is a "big fool" in the sketch, then Hitler successfully "fooled" a country in reality.

Talking about politics and economics to a traditional Prussian officer, and making the general think that you are very knowledgeable, is a trick that Hitler used countless times, and now Accardo is ready to come to do so, so that his generals can see how profound his Führer really is.

Accardo used Hitler's tricks this time in order to receive a miracle effect at the meeting. After all, he was not "that corporal", but a high-ranking general of the Wehrmacht who had once been dominant. Even Brauchitsch said to his secretary in private that if the Führer had not left the army, then the first marshal of the army would most likely be named Accardo.

The current three German armies are all implementing the basic tactics formulated by Accardo 20 years ago, and facts have proved that the military theory put forward by the Führer 20 years ago is still leading the German army to victory step by step 20 years later. The Führer's talent in military affairs is beyond doubt...... Well, in fact, no one can question it either.

In the Air Force, the Führer personally participated in the finalization and production of the aircraft, and tried his best to train tens of thousands of pilots for the Luftwaffe. Catherine and Dick, two senior generals of the Air Force, were promoted to their current positions by the Führer, and who would question the Führer's contribution to building the Air Force?

On the naval side, the Führer determined a plan to strengthen the army with aircraft carriers as the core of the fleet, which allowed the German High Seas Fleet to gain the upper hand in several engagements, destroying the British Navy, Germany's number one enemy at sea, and fulfilling a dream that the German Navy had not been able to accomplish for generations. Now Rader Lütjans Dönitz, these naval chiefs mention the Führer as if they were doping, and they will say that Accardo farts are fragrant.

The Army, as the strongest bastion of the German aristocracy, was now completely kneeling in front of Accardo. None of these generals had ever groveled so before the German Emperor. However, the great achievement of sweeping France to defeat England and drive out the Soviets made them feel more fulfilled than their predecessors, and now the new generals represented by Guderian, Rommel and others, as well as Rundstedt, who represented the results of the division of the aristocracy, were on the side of Accardo, and as for the traditional military forces represented by Brauchitsch, there was no reason to oppose Accardo.

Now, at this meeting, Accardo did not use such a huge military contribution to oppress these generals into obedience, but used military economics and politics to teach these soldiers a lesson. At this time, some of the generals were even more impressed by the greatness of the Führer, believing that the Führer could lead them to victory - as long as they were obedient.

"Attacking the hinterland of the Soviet Union at this time will catch up with the rainy weather in August, and the dirt roads of the Soviet Union will immediately turn into a muddy field, and the cars and tanks that our army relies on will fall into it, and the speed of the attack will be reduced. Accardo said, pointing to the Soviet highway photos sent back by the spies.

There are several roads in the heart of the USSR in the photo, which are really not roads in the traditional sense of the word in Europe, they are completely "Soviet standards". Most of these roads are paved with earth, potholes and rutted marks, and the plight faced by the troops who follow after the passage of the large army in the rainy season can be imagined by anyone who is not a fool.

Civilian officers such as the director of the production of armored vehicles began to support the Führer's argument with analog figures: "Generals, according to the road conditions, we tested the Leopard tank in the real room, and if you barely fight in this road environment, the wear rate of the walking part of the tank will rise, and the failure will increase by about 15%, of course, this is a conservative estimate, and if the front-line soldiers use some less standardized operating habits, the failure rate will be even more." ”

Brauchitsch began to whisper to a general beside him, the commander of the 4th Panzer Corps, who was not as well-known as Guderian but was one of the few Panzer commanders in Germany. He told Brauchitsch that a forced attack with armored forces in such a situation would paralyze about half of the tank troops in the middle of the road.

Seeing that the generals did not dispute their words, Accardo continued his reason for ordering the halt of the advance: "It would be a disaster for the troops to encounter cold weather in October, when the temperature would drop throughout the Russian hinterland, and the soldiers would not be ready for winter clothing. ”

There is nothing more to say about this, and if there are not enough cotton clothes, who wants to spend a long winter in Russia? In another time and space, it was the Führer and the generals who miscalculated the strength of the Soviet Union and hastened to attack the disaster -- since the current Führer does not advocate an immediate attack, which general will foolishly insist on his own point of view?

Moreover, the German intelligence services were no longer ignorant of the Soviet Union, on the contrary, they had a whole network of internal Soviet spies. This spy network gave the Germans an idea of the Soviet Union, which they had always despised and the true balance of power between them. The Soviet Union was not as weak as it seemed, and Germany really wasn't as strong as it felt it was.

The Soviet Union's deceptive method of recruiting shadow troops was well known to the Germans, and Brauchitsch knew that he was facing not 5 million Soviet Red Army, but almost 12 million - if anyone at this time still thought that Germany could win with 4 million men, then he must not have woken up.

The soldiers on the front line felt this most deeply, the Soviet tanks caused unprecedented problems to the German armored forces, and their tanks became the first "opponent" that could penetrate the frontal armor of the German tanks, which brought great pressure to the German armored commanders, who had to carefully invest their tanks to avoid possible large-scale losses.

Since the beginning of the war, the Germans have lost 270 tanks of various types, including 2 Tigers, a figure that does not seem exaggerated, but it has made a deep impression on the Germans. For the first time, the Tiger tank was destroyed by the opponent, and the breakthrough of the first layer of German armored forces was stopped by the opponent's armored forces, these problems at the tactical level made the German army look at the collapsed Soviet counterparts.

The Air Force also faced various problems, and after the start of the war, the Soviet Air Force had committed two new fighters, one from the United States, the P-40, and the other known as the Yak.

Although neither aircraft had the superior performance of the FW-190D, Germany's absolute mainstay today, it confirmed that the German opponents were trying to catch up with the Luftwaffe. The pace of the chase is not slow, and just a year ago, these opponents were using poor biplanes, but now they are all equipped with monoplanes with closed cabins.

The planes were also getting faster and faster, approaching the most numerous FW-190D fighters in the Luftwaffe. The FW-190D fighter with improved engines can reach speeds of up to 630 kilometers per hour, while these hostile aircraft are generally close to 550 kilometers per hour, and it is clear that the terrible technological gap of the past has been narrowed.

Britain and the United States, which are traditionally technological powers, are not without nothing, on the contrary, they also have a deep scientific and technological heritage compared with Germany. In particular, Britain, once the number one capitalist power, secretly has even deeper scientific and technological reserves than Germany.

The engines produced by the British company Rosrohr (that is, Rolls-Royce) were even more technologically advanced than the German engines, but when the advanced Spitfire was still on the drawing board, the Germans landed on British soil on a large scale. Now that the production line for the Spitfire is in trial production, the Luftwaffe will soon have to face more advanced enemy fighters.

The P-51 Mustang fighter plane cooperated by Britain and the United States is also in full swing to start production work, the engine is developed by the British company, and the fuselage of the aircraft is responsible for the American company, and the purpose of the new aircraft jointly produced by the two technological powers is very simple, that is, to surpass the Luftwaffe and regain air supremacy over the battlefield.

Spies in Canada even discovered the startling news: the British were now working on a new aircraft that could reach speeds of over 750 kilometers per hour and outperform all known flying machines. This new type of aircraft is called a "meteor", meaning that it is as fast as a falling meteor.

After hearing the name, Accardo knew that Britain was already in a hurry to put into production its new jet fighter, but the materials and craftsmanship of this era were not yet mature, and it would take at least two years for the British jet fighter to fly
