The military conference was held as scheduled, and the front-line generals and the general of the army staff who came back to attend filled a small conference room. Akkado knew how to make these generals yield. At this time, he had to show Hitler's housekeeping skills and talk about economics and politics to a group of generals.
In history, there are many ways for Hitler to be in power, but there are only two ways for him to communicate with the military: to support the generals he thinks are right, and to talk nonsense to the generals who don't support him. The results of the two methods are better than expected: the former method unearths such commanding talents as goodrian Rommel for Germany, and the latter method makes him move many generals.
Do you know how many people Hitler persuaded to join his group in this way? He talked with Bosch of the French group about the role of synthetic rubber and synthetic gasoline in German affairs, so the giant of German chemical industry described Hitler to his assistant after the conversation: "he is smarter than I thought."
He talked with his generals about the important role of occupying the enemy's economic and industrial centers, and also hoped to change the mode of war with Blitzkrieg, which moved the top of the military. More than half of the German generals felt that "this man understands military.". If Zhao Benshan is a "big fool" in his sketch, then Hitler succeeded in "fooling" a country in reality.
Talking about politics and economics to a traditional Prussian officer makes the general feel that you are very profound. Hitler used this trick countless times, and now akado is going to come here to show his generals how broad and profound their leaders are.
This time, akkado used Hitler's tactics in order to achieve miraculous results at the conference. After all, he is not "the corporal", but a senior general of the national defense forces who once dominated the world. Even blauchich told his secretary in private that if the head of state did not leave the army, the first marshal of the army would probably be named akado.
Now the German three armed forces are carrying out the basic tactics formulated by akkado 20 years ago, and the fact has proved that the military theory put forward by the head of state 20 years ago still leads the German team to victory step by step today. There is no doubt about the head of state's military ability... Well, actually no one can question it.
As for the air force, the head of state personally participated in the finalization and commissioning of the aircraft and tried his best to train tens of thousands of pilots for the German air force. Catherine and Dick, two senior air force generals, were promoted to the present position by the head of state. Who would question the contribution of the head of state in building the air force?
In terms of the Navy, the head of state determined the plan of strengthening the army with aircraft carrier as the core of the fleet. This plan enabled the German high seas fleet to take advantage of several battles, wiped out the British navy, the number one enemy in the German sea, and fulfilled the dream that the German Navy had not been able to achieve for generations. Now, the heads of the Navy, such as Randall lutjans dunnitz, talk about the head of state as if he were a stimulant. Akado farts. They all say it's fragrant.
As the strongest fortress of German nobles, the army has knelt down in front of akkado. These generals had never been so humble before the German Emperor. However, the great achievements of sweeping France, defeating England and driving away the Soviets made them feel more successful than their predecessors. Now the new generals represented by goodrian Rommel and others, as well as lundstedt, who represents the results of aristocratic division, are on the side of akkado. As for the traditional military forces represented by brauchich, there is no reason to oppose akkado.
Now, at this meeting, akado did not oppress these generals with such great military contributions. Instead, he entrusted Military Economics and politics to teach these soldiers a lesson. At this time, some generals were more impressed by the greatness of the head of state. They believed that the head of state could lead them to victory as long as they were obedient.
"If we attack the hinterland of the Soviet Union at this time, we will catch up with the rainy weather in August. The soil road of the Soviet Union will immediately become muddy, and the cars and tanks that our army relies on will fall into it, resulting in the decrease of attack speed." Akado pointed to the Soviet road photo sent back by the spy with a pointer.
There are several roads in the hinterland of the Soviet Union in the photo. These roads are really not roads in the traditional sense of Europe. They are completely "Soviet standards". Most of these roads are paved with soil. They are full of potholes and ruts. After a large army passes in the rainy season, the difficulties faced by the following troops can be imagined as long as they are not fools.
Civilian officers such as the production director of armored vehicles began to support the head of state's argument with analog numbers: "generals, according to the road conditions, we have tested leopard tanks in the laboratory. If we are forced to fight in this road environment, the wear rate of the tank's walking parts will increase, and the failure rate will increase by about 15%. Of course, this is a conservative estimate, If the front-line soldiers use some non-standard operating habits, the failure rate will be more. "
Brauchich began to whisper to a general around him, who was the commander of the fourth armored army. Although he was not as famous as goodrian, he was also one of the few armored commanders in Germany. He told brauchich that in this case, if the armored forces were forced to attack, about half of the tank troops would be paralyzed on the way.
Seeing that the generals had no objection to his words, akado continued to say the reason why he ordered to stop: "the troops will encounter cold weather in October, when the temperature in the whole hinterland of Russia will drop, and the soldiers' winter clothes are not ready, it will be a disaster."
If there are not enough cotton padded clothes, who is willing to spend a long winter in Russia? In another time and space, it was the disaster caused by the head of state and generals' miscalculation of the Soviet Union's strength and hasty attack. Since the current head of state does not advocate an immediate attack, which generals would foolishly insist on their own point of view? Moreover, the German intelligence department no longer knew nothing about the Soviet Union. On the contrary, they had a complete Soviet internal spy network. This spy network made the Germans understand the Soviet Union they had always despised and the real power contrast between them. The Soviet Union is not as weak as it seems, and Germany is not as strong as it feels. The Soviet Union's deceptive way of recruiting shadow troops was clearly understood by the German side. Brauchich knew that he was not facing 5 million Soviet Red Army, but nearly 12 million. If anyone thought that Germany could win by 4 million people at this time, he would not wake up. The soldiers on the front line knew this most, The tanks of the Soviet Union caused unprecedented troubles to the German armored forces. Their tanks became the first "opponents" who could penetrate the front armor of the German tanks, which brought great pressure to the German armored commanders. They had to carefully throw their own tanks to avoid possible large-scale losses. Since the beginning of the war, the German army has lost 270 tanks of various types, including two Tiger tanks. Although this figure does not seem exaggerated, it has left a deep impression on the Germans. For the first time, a Tiger tank was destroyed by an opponent, and the breakthrough of the first layer of German armored forces was stopped by the opponent's armored forces. These tactical problems made the German army look at the collapsed Soviet counterparts with new eyes. The air force is also facing various problems. After the war, the Soviet air force has put in two new types of fighters, one is the P-40 aircraft from the United States, and the other is the fighter known as Jacques. Although the performance of these two kinds of aircraft is not as good as that of fw-190d, which is now the absolute main force of Germany, it proves that the German opponents are trying to catch up with the German air force. The speed of catching up is not slow. Just a year ago, these competitors were still using pitiful biplanes, but now they are all equipped with closed cabin monoplanes. These planes are getting faster and faster, approaching the largest number of fw-190d fighters in the German air force. The speed of fw-190d fighters with improved engines can reach 630 km / h, while the speed of these hostile aircraft is generally close to 550 km / h. obviously, the terrible technical gap in the past has been narrowed. Britain and the United States, the traditional technological powers, are not without everything. On the contrary, they have the same profound scientific and technological heritage as Germany. In particular, Britain, once the first capitalist power, has even deeper technological reserves than Germany. The engine produced by the British rosrol (Rolls Royce) company is even more advanced than the German engine in technology. However, when the advanced flamethrower fighter was still on the drawing, the German landed on the British mainland on a large scale. Now the production line of Spitfire fighters is in trial production, and the German air force will soon face more advanced enemy fighters. The P-51 Mustang fighter jointly developed by Britain and the United States is also in intensive production. The engine is developed by a British company, and the fuselage is in the charge of an American company. The purpose of the new aircraft jointly produced by the two technological powers is very simple, that is, to surpass the German air force and regain the air supremacy over the battlefield. Spies in Canada even found a surprising news: the British are now developing a new aircraft with a speed of more than 750 km / h and a performance better than all aircraft known now. The new airplane is called "meteor", which means it is as fast as a falling meteor. After hearing the name, akado knew that the UK was already seizing the time to launch its new jet fighter. However, the material technology of this era is not mature. It will take at least two years for the British jet fighter to fly
