"Your Excellency President, this news is absolutely true!" Fell nodded very seriously, and then said: "Since Zhukov took over as commander of the Leningrad Front, the defensive deployment and mental outlook of the Soviet army have changed a lot, and the offensive momentum of the German army has slowed down a lot. Just this morning, the Soviets used a large number of mysterious artillery pieces to orchestrate an unprecedented counteroffensive,...... ""You immediately have a few cups of coffee brought to the conference room, and by the way, Field Marshal Mannerheim and General Heinrichs are called!" Fast! ”

Reiti panicked, although this was only a very unexpected local war, but it revealed a lot of information, and it was necessary to re-examine the situation of Finland and its attitude towards the Soviet Union and the Allies! In the final analysis, strength determines confidence and appetite, Finland is still too weak after all, and any disturbance will have a major impact on Finland's prospects, and their greatest hope is to recover the territory lost in the Winter War and gain real national independence.

sang and harmonized before, but it was just to vent his emotions and try to take advantage of it by the way. It's just a good saying, it's easy to please God, it's hard to send God, and now Nazi Germany has more than 200,000 people stationed in Finland, but it is not easy for Finland to be left and right! ……

Arkhangelsk, the Supreme Command of the USSR. Stalin paced back and forth in his office with his hands behind his back, looking extremely anxious. In the office, there were also members of the command such as Molotov, Voroshilov and Kuznetsov, all of whom were silent and their expressions were extremely solemn, and most of them were just smoking a stuffy cigarette. At this moment, everyone is waiting for the news of the frontline battlefield, waiting for the exciting good news!

And the waiting for the unknown is the most torturous and frightening, especially today's carefully brewed Jedi counteroffensive can be said to be related to the life and death of the Soviet Union. If this battle is won, the Soviet Union can breathe a sigh of relief, and at least live for a month or two more. I don't know how long I waited in this dull and oppressive atmosphere, but a rush of footsteps suddenly sounded in the corridor outside the door.

Everyone suddenly involuntarily looked towards the gate, and after a while, they saw a young communications staff officer trotting out at the gate, his face flushed, and his eyebrows were full of excitement and excitement. "Is it a big victory?" "Did we really win?" Stalin and the others saw the clues at a glance, and their tense and serious faces began to change noticeably at this moment.

"Great Comrade Stalin, great victory for our army! We've won! Sure enough, he did not disappoint everyone, and the young communications staff officer ran all the way to Stalin, saluted heavily, and said:

"General Zhukov has just sent a telegram from the front: the Leningrad Front has won a great victory, and has won great victories in the northern, southern and southeastern battlefields of Leningrad. In this battle, more than 120,000 German troops were annihilated, and the German troops were repelled at least 30 kilometers or more, smashing the strategic attempt of the Nazi fascists to encircle Leningrad on three sides in one fell swoop! "Great! It's so good! Well done Comrade Zhukov! ”

Hearing this, Stalin's brows stretched instantly, and a hanging heart finally landed, and then agitation and excitement quickly took over all the space. "Great! We've finally won! "Damn the Germans, you've finally tasted our awesomeness!" "Leningrad is finally saved!" "Long live the great Soviets!" Immediately afterwards, the other people in the room also shouted excitedly, and in any case, this battle boosted morale and hope, and at the same time dealt a heavy blow to the invaders, it greatly lifted people's hearts!

After a long period of excitement, Stalin finally relented, and said to the communications staff officer in an excited tone: "Immediately call back Comrade Zhukov and tell him that we must guard against arrogance and rashness, although we have won a great victory in this battle, the enemy will definitely retaliate frantically, and the real danger and difficulties have not yet begun!" Leningrad will not be lost, and must not be lost, please be sure to lead the Leningrad Front and the inhabitants of Leningrad, make preparations for a long-term battle with the aggressor, and resolutely and thoroughly deal the most merciless blow to the aggressor!

In addition, tell them that the party and the people are watching them, will fight side by side with them, and will give them the strongest support whenever necessary! "There is a special telephone line between the Supreme High Command and Leningrad, but at this moment, Comrade Stalin could not wait, and only wanted to tell Zhukov and others about the awards, expectations and entrustment at the first time.

"Yes!" The communications staff officer responded enthusiastically, and then threw off his arms and ran out. At this time, Foreign Minister Molotov praised him from the bottom of his heart: "Comrade Zhukov is really a tiger general of our army, and he can always play an unexpected role at every critical moment, if he can continue to maintain such a record, not only Leningrad can be defended, but the entire Soviet Union will also be in a good situation!" After speaking, Molotov glanced at Voroshilov beside him, intentionally or unintentionally, although he did not make his words clear, but it was obviously targeted:

You cried and shouted to your mother that the enemy was too strong, not because of your own incompetence to exhaust the three armies, but others just took office for a few days and instantly turned the tables against the wind, now what excuse do you have to explain to yourself? "Comrade Molotov is right, Comrade Zhukov is indeed good!" In this way, Voroshilov was indeed embarrassed, but it did not hinder the good mood at this moment.

"Yes, the USSR is in great need of an exciting victory right now!" Stalin ignored these small actions, turned his head to look at Vasilevsky and said: "What is the specific situation in the Far East now?" Vasilevsky said with a dark face: "The Far East is irretrievable, and the declaration of war of the Japanese government clearly shows its determination to carry the war to the end, at least to annex the entire Far East." ”

"The Far Eastern Military District suffered heavy casualties, the Japanese Kwantung Army adopted a blitzkrieg and has completed a roundabout outflank, if we do not make active and effective countermeasures in time, I am afraid that the Far Eastern Red Army of more than 400,000 will be completely annihilated!" After a pause, Vasilevsky continued very sadly: "Comrade Stalin, it is I who underestimated the determination of the Japanese Far Eastern Army, and also underestimated the ambition and courage of the Japanese government!

Now we can only declare war on them, so that these damn little dwarfs know that the great Soviet Union was not afraid of war, but did not want to fight a senseless war! Molotov replied loudly: "Comrade Stalin has come to this point, we no longer need to bless any illusions of diplomatic settlement, immediately declare war on Japan!" "Although Japan has officially declared war, and the Kwantung Army is fully firepowered, launching a full-scale offensive against the Soviet Far Eastern Military District.

However, in view of the current extremely difficult war situation, the Soviet side did not immediately declare war on Japan, but continued to protest and threaten through diplomatic channels, characterizing the invasion of the Kwantung Army as a military cross-border action. Their purpose in doing so was nothing more than the extravagant hope that they would be able to go back to their respective homes and find their own mothers under the guise of fighting both sides, as they had done in the previous Zhang Gufeng Incident and the Battle of Nomenkan, hoping to avoid the expansion of the scale of the war as much as possible through their efforts.

But it is clear that this is just wishful thinking on the part of the Soviets. The Japanese were already a bunch of people who bullied the weak and feared the hard, and the weaker the Soviet Union became, the more excited and ferocious they became, and the entire Far East was already full of wolf smoke and artillery fire. "These despicable and shameless clowns, sooner or later the great Soviet Union will beat them to the ground and make these arrogant and ignorant dwarfs pay the price of blood!"

Stalin waved his fist in great anger, and then roared angrily: "War declared!" Declare war on Japan now! "Great Comrade Stalin, Comrade Molotov, good news from the Finnish side!" At this time, an official of the Soviet Foreign Ministry also rushed in to join in the fun. ……

"What? Army Group North turned out to be defeated? "Defeated by the dying Russians like this?" "Shame, great shame for the Third Reich!" "What the hell does this old guy Buhler eat?" "This idiot, I'm going to shoot him with my own hands!" "The secret weapon of the Soviets, what the hell is it?" In Berlin, Germany, the German Führer kept roaring in the underground wolf's castle, originally thinking that the good news of the capture of Leningrad would soon come back, but unexpectedly, he waited and waited for a bad news that made him doubt his life.

The Northern Army Group, which had the absolute upper hand, was defeated in one day, and the three fronts were defeated at the same time for dozens of kilometers before they could stabilize their foothold, and after the war, the casualties were counted, and the overall casualties on this day were as high as more than 127,000, and the technical equipment such as tanks, armored vehicles, motorcycles, and artillery suffered heavy losses! The Führer only felt as if he had been thrown from the clouds to the ground in an instant, not only was his whole body hurt, but his head was also confused, and various emotions such as anger, shock, and doubt were intertwined, making him unable to think normally.

After venting his emotions for a long time, the Führer finally calmed down, turned his head and asked loudly at Celtic, the Main Directorate of Military Intelligence of the General Staff, who was standing at his desk: "Keitel, what is the secret weapon of the Soviet Union mentioned in Loeb's telegram?" Have you figured it out now? Er hurriedly replied: "Führer, according to reliable intelligence, this secret weapon used by the Soviet Union is called self-propelled rocket artillery, which first appeared on the battlefield in Burma in Asia two months ago.

The first army to use this rocket artillery was the Chinese Expeditionary Force, for which the Japanese army suffered a great loss. The gun has the advantages of fierce shooting firepower and large killing range, and is especially suitable for destroying the enemy's dense forces in a large area, suppressing the enemy's firepower and destroying the enemy's fortifications! Later, after further investigation, we found that the gun was actually a new type of artillery developed by Huaxia, and it applied for a production patent in the United States.

At present, the Americans are rushing to produce this new self-propelled gun with all their might, but I don't know when they sent this advanced self-propelled gun to the Soviet mainland in large quantities...... ""What? Such an advanced and powerful self-propelled gun appeared? After listening to the cartel's general introduction, the Führer instantly frowned, if it was really as the cartel described, this big failure, it really couldn't be completely blamed for Loeb's lack of command.

After a pause, the Führer then asked: "Then now do you understand the working principle, performance parameters and other technical information of this self-propelled rocket launcher?" The Third Reich must have such a weapon of war! The cartel nodded and replied: "Führer, we have obtained a lot of first-hand information from our Japanese allies, and we already have a general understanding of the performance parameters of this gun.

As for the working principle and specific production and manufacturing process, it is still impossible to know, whether it is China, the United States, or the Soviet Union, the new artillery is very strict in secrecy! "I don't want to listen to these useless explanations, I just want to get all the information about this new artillery as soon as possible, I just want the Third Reich to develop and produce it as soon as possible!" The Führer waved his hand and said in a resolute tone: "The Third Reich has the most cutting-edge weapon research level and the most advanced industrial production system, and the enemy must not have the advanced weapons we have, and the advanced weapons that the enemy has, we must have in the Third Reich!" ”

"Yes!" The cartel hurriedly took the order, and when it came to this, even if it was a mountain of swords and a sea of fire, he had to jump forward, and he must not say no again! "Hmm!" The Führer nodded, and then said: "The dynamics on the part of the Americans must be strictly monitored, and the Americans must not be allowed to send this new artillery to the Soviet Union in large quantities, otherwise it will be a great trouble for the Third Reich!" ”

"Yes!" The cartel nodded again. At this time, the Führer suddenly thought of a more serious question and asked urgently: "Cartel, has the matter of the United States starting to organize the research of atomic bombs been verified?" Cartel frowned slightly, and said in an uncertain tone:

"There are a large number of nuclear physicists gathered in the United States, but at present, all these nuclear physicists have disappeared, as if they have suddenly evaporated from the world, presumably most of them are secretly protected by the Americans!" "Again, the enemy must not have the advanced weapons we have! You must find a way to find out the situation, and you must not let the Americans develop the big bomb first, otherwise it will be an unprecedented catastrophe for the Empire! "The invention of the atomic bomb during World War II can be described as a blessing and a curse, and the manufacture of a large bomb is not only a symbol of a country's wisdom, but also a symbol of a country's military strength.

Everyone in the world knows that at the end of World War II, the Americans dropped two atomic bombs on Japan, and their terrifying and incomparably lethal and destructive power made the Japanese government, which was clamoring for a decisive battle at home, "100 million jade pieces", completely relented and announced its unconditional surrender. But in fact, Nazi Germany began to develop atomic bombs in 1939, three years before the Manhattan Project in the United States was officially launched.

Germany is on par with the United States in terms of scientific research and technological strength, funds, and nuclear weapons raw materials, but there was a small mistake in the research process. The German scientist who spearheaded the development of atomic bombs was named Heisenberg. He is the founder of quantum mechanics and has made significant contributions to the study of electrons, protons, neutrons, and other particle motions inside atoms and molecules. As a result, he was praised for ushering in a new era of the 20th century physical age. It can be said that he is one of the top scientists who can rival Einstein.

However, such a powerful scientist made a small error in the parameters when researching atomic bombs, and after calculations, Heisenberg found that an atomic bomb needs to contain several tons of uranium-235. Although Germany occupied Czechoslovakia, the largest uranium producer, and its uranium ore reserves ranked first in the world at that time, it was not easy to decompose so much uranium-235 from it.

As a result, the research on atomic bombs reached an impasse for a time. In fact, after later revisions to this parameter, only a few kilograms of uranium-235 were needed. It was this small mistake that prevented Germany from developing an atomic bomb before the United States. Otherwise, even if you think about it with your ass, if you let the Germans develop an atomic bomb first, what kind of catastrophic consequences will be for the human world.

But the current plane is another matter, and whether Heisenberg will make the same mistake is only God knows. Where Germany has made progress in the current research on atomic bombs, and whether it will succeed in research ahead of the United States, is also only known to God. The cartel nodded and said: "Please rest assured, we will definitely do our best to strangle the Americans' dream of atomic bombs in the cradle!" ”

The Führer then asked: "What is the situation of the Japanese in the Far Eastern theater?" The cartel replied: "The Soviet Union was defeated by our Third Reich in the European theater, and in order to cope with the attack of the Reich, the troops in the Far East were constantly transferred to the European theater, so the troops of the Soviet Far Eastern Military District have long become extremely empty." The Japanese Kwantung Army is Japan's elite heavy army group in order to defend against the Soviet attack, and the commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army, Ishihara Waner, is a very capable Japanese general, and under his management, the Kwantung Army has become extremely powerful and prosperous.

At this time, Ishihara concentrated a large number of tanks, combat vehicles and combat aircraft, adopted the lightning tactics of the Third Reich, and gained the absolute initiative from the beginning,......。 After explaining the cause and effect, the cartel concluded in an affirmative tone: "In short, the Far Eastern Front of the Soviet Far Eastern Military District is completely finished, and even the Belga Military District is currently under tremendous military pressure, and presumably it will not last long!" ”

The Führer scolded unhappily: "These stupid and despicable Japanese are really not ambiguous at all when they have a advantage, hum!" The cartel smiled and said: "Führer, the Japanese are indeed very stupid, but they can be regarded as smart at all, the Soviets now have no room for strategic maneuver, and they have nowhere to hide." As long as the Third Reich and the Japanese Empire can join forces as soon as possible, the Soviet Union will surely have no way to destroy before this cold winter comes!

After the Third Reich absorbed the strategic resources of the Soviet Union, the whole world will tremble at the feet of the Reich, and the German nation will rule the whole world and become the noblest nation in the world...... "Hmph, do you really think that the Japanese attacked the Far East in order to cooperate with the Third Reich to destroy the Soviet Union? The Führer pursed his lips with great disdain, shook his head and said: "No, this group of short, short-sighted people just want to take advantage of the fire to rob and divide the interests, they will never easily continue to attack north, they only have the boundless Far East in their eyes now, and the small abacus that consumes the strength of the empire as much as possible." ”

"This!" The cartel's face froze slightly, and he originally wanted to make the Führer happy, but the fart did not hit the horse's leg! "Okay, now it's none of your business, let's go down." After finishing business, Hitler waved his hand a little annoyed and withdrew from the cartel.

After the cartel walked out of the office, the Führer turned to look at Goering, who had been staying in the corner, and said, "Goering, I have given you an important task. Organize an even more powerful air force as soon as possible to carry out a devastating bombing of Petersburg, and in addition to destroying the rocket artillery units of the Soviets by all means, and must not allow them to continue to endanger the war machine of the Third Reich. ”

"Rest assured! The air force of the Third Reich must have made the Russians deeply aware of what it means to be truly desperate. The corners of Goering's mouth turned slightly, and his eyes flashed with bloodlust and cruelty. Goering had a very good personal relationship with the Führer, and successively served as the commander-in-chief of the Luftwaffe, the head of the Gestapo, the head of the "four-year plan", the president of the Reichstag, the commander-in-chief of the stormtroopers, the minister of economy, the chancellor of Prussia, and many other important positions across the party, government, and military departments, and was designated by the Führer Hitler as the first person.

On July 19 last year, the Führer promoted Goering to a specially set military rank - "Field Marshal", surpassing the highest rank of "Field Marshal" in German history in the past, and awarded the "Grand Cross", which was held only by Göring in World War II. It has to be said that Goering is really "a collection of thousands of favorites", and he is a veritable No. 2 person in Nazi Germany at present.

However, it is a pity that Goering's character and ability are not enough to match the treatment and trust he enjoys, and he is a veritable pig teammate who has pitted the Führer and the Third Reich unwanted. As for the current time and space, because the Führer is much more sober, he has not given Goering too many opportunities to pit himself, and although Goering's performance so far has been lackluster, it is generally decent.

In early August 1941, the führer mobilized 42 infantry divisions, 4 tank divisions, 4 motorized divisions, and 1 cavalry brigade on the northern flank, armed with 6,000 artillery pieces, 4,500 mortars, and more than 1,000 aircraft, to launch a fierce offensive against Leningrad, threatening to occupy Leningrad on September 1.

In the Führer's plan, the capture of the city on the Neva River was seen as an "urgent task" - to wipe Leningrad off the face of the earth, to kill all its inhabitants, to destroy the cradle of the proletarian revolution. Due to the full preparation of the Soviet troops holding Leningrad, although the Soviet counteroffensive launched in some parts of the city was unsuccessful, Zhukov's careful defense effectively stopped the pace of the Fascist army's offensive and broke the German army's plan to attack from the north and south to seize Leningrad. This greatly infuriated Butler, who gave the order to storm Leningrad, and even if he could not win by force, to use a blockade to trap the people of the city and then destroy it.
