Chapter 780

Yes, this is the bridge that akkado thought of. In another time and space, after the victory of the Soviet Union in 1945, 200 German flags were raised during the parade. This idea was born in 1815, when the Russian army defeated Napoleon's invasion and threw the invader's flag at the Czar's feet.

In another time and space, the Red Army of the Soviet Union held 200 German flags upside down and finally dropped them in front of Lenin's tomb. The flags inside came from various famous German army groups, which was really shocking to the extreme. The most important one is Adolf? The flag of Hitler's guard flag, akkado has his own guard flag, but the flag of this honor guard is now flying next to the flag of the Fuehrer.

There is no Memorial Cemetery for the third empire. After all, akkado, the founder of the Empire, is still sitting on the platform, enjoying the cheers and applause of countless people. So in the end, the flags of the Soviet army were thrown into the flames and burned.

"General Manstein, our starting point is already near the expected victory line. What do you think of the chance of winning if we launch a surprise attack now?" Akkado asked Manstein as he watched the German infantry square walk majestically through the long street.

Manstein carefully considered it for a while, and then hesitated to reply: "my head of state, I suggest that the implementation of the second phase of the new Barbarosa plan should be postponed. Once the large-scale assault starts, the pressure on the tank troops will surge, but at that time, we can't go back. The risk is too great for us."

Akado sighed and said helplessly: "my general, the Soviet Union is also growing with the help of the United States. We have defended and counterattacked twice. If we don't carry out an offensive battle, how can we explain to the people at home? We should know that the defensive side has always suffered a lot, and the cost of our defense is not great. "

Of course, Manstein knows the reason why akkado is worried. Germany has stepped on the threshold of victory with one foot. At this time, as long as they don't make mistakes, they can keep their advantage. But at this time, the more anxious he was, it was a psychological problem. It was very rational for akado to still listen to both sides.

Thinking of this, Manstein slowly replied: "the armored forces will continue to be consumed in the process of long-distance advance. Even the Soviets can consume our elite armored forces as long as they sneak attack with booby traps and some ambushes. When we attack at this time, even if we surround Moscow, our armored forces will lose at least half of their strength. "

The terrible strategic depth of the Soviet Union is their best defense line. Even if there is no constant interference and sniping from the garrison on this road, countless tracks and thousands of engines and transmissions will be discarded. This terrible distance can make the German army run between each other, and their sharpest attack will eventually become a desperate March.

"What do you mean? Will it consume the living strength of the Soviet troops again, and then continue to attack Moscow? " Akado frowned and thought about it. Finally, he was unwilling to ask such a question.

In fact, before he came to take part in this grand victory march, the general staff of the army gave the same answer as Manstein. Brauchich personally reviewed with akkado and admitted that the general staff of the army had made a mistake of underestimating the combat readiness strength of the Soviet Union.

Before attacking the Soviet Union, the Supreme Command predicted that the Soviet Union had only a small number of troops worthy of attention, and that the mobilization strength would not exceed 5 million. Such an optimistic estimate made the generals of the general staff think that it is easy to defeat the Soviet Union, even to assess the strength of the army a few months ago, and even to wipe out the Soviet Union without domestic mobilization.

However, facts have proved that the assessment made by the Supreme Command headed by the head of state akado himself is more accurate. Combined with the intelligence from the army intelligence department and the SS intelligence department, the German army has mastered the heinous assessment of the mobilization ability of the Soviet army. How detailed is the assessment report? Even the number of troops that the Soviet Union can mobilize is accurate to 1000.

With this detailed strength assessment, akkado was ready for the worst to annihilate 15 million to 18 million Soviet soldiers before the war broke out. However, when Ukraine changed hands after the war, this assessment adjusted the mobilization capacity of the Soviet Union to a lower level. Now there are almost 10 million people left in the Soviet Union's mobilization capacity.

But even though the German army had won so many battles, it still had no ability to swallow the Soviet Union. According to the conservative estimation of the supreme command, it is still necessary to annihilate two to four million Soviet troops in order to win the war of attacking Moscow and destroying the Soviet Union.

Unfortunately, it is not realistic to expect the Soviet Union to launch another offensive hastily and bury such a large number of troops. The Soviet front-line combat forces have gone through the cruel war test, and their tactical quality has been greatly improved. More importantly, a large number of terrible and powerful roles have been born in the Soviet front-line commanders, These people are not so much idiots who will suddenly become stupid or have a hot head, but talents who can match the German first-line generals.

"I think, Fuehrer, since the plan has been determined, we should not change it easily. On the one hand, we don't have to be in a hurry. On the other hand, we have something to follow when we do anything. " Manstein looked at one side of the Soviet flag, was thrown into the fire to burn, some slowly replied. Akado laughed, relieved smile: "I am too tangled. However, if Marshal Rommel was sitting next to me today, he would have told me to launch an attack as soon as possible, tear up the enemy's line of defense and fight as far as possible. "“ My head of state, I'm not as creative as marshal Rommel in organizing attacks, or in doing my best to organize attacks. I'm more suitable for fighting with discipline and fighting for victory with discipline. " Manstein said to arcado with a smile. Acardo nodded: "I have only one Rommel, and I have only one Manstein, and I have only one goodrian, one Lister, one Wilkes, and one Keitel... That's good. I think you'll understand what I mean, right?" Everyone is different, everyone is unique, Rommel in the vast desert fighting success, he Manstein need not regret, because there is a same vast Caucasus, waiting for him to gallop, this is the meaning of akado, he Manstein of course understand“ Soon, the whole Donetsk will fall into our hands, and Kharkov will also be occupied. Stalingrad... Stalingrad... Are you sure you can pull out this nail in the Caucasus? " Akkado remembered the scene of Khrushchev roaring at his subordinates in the movie he had seen. He still remembers that line: "this is not Kursk, not Minsk, not Kiev... This is Stalingrad, this is Stalingrad! It's named after the leader, it's a symbol. "“ In fact, this city is only an important town in the Soviet Union, but its name gives it unlimited political significance. As long as this city is captured, the blow to Stalin's personal prestige in the Soviet Union will undoubtedly be huge. " After thinking about it, Manstein replied, "but instead of rushing to capture it, it is better to use it as a bait to destroy the living forces of the Soviet Union, which is more in our interests." Akado nodded and agreed with Manstein. He knew that once the second phase of the new Barossa plan was implemented, the whole world war would be a different one. Finland and Turkey would attack the Soviet Union from the north and South wings, and the German army would open up all its firepower and rush all the way to Moscow. At that time, it was the situation that Germany played its cards. Whether it was winning or losing, we could only passively see the reaction of the opponent. The war against the Caucasus is not a private duel, not a personal feud between akado and Stalin. He was not Hitler, and he would not persist in destroying the city called Stalingrad, or even he did not want to face the city that seemed never to fall, because the street fighting there really hurt the German elite. So akado is very much in favor of Manstein's idea. Encircling and helping, or even encircling but not attacking, are good ways to deal with this city. If necessary, he even thinks that he can get around here and finally come back to find a way to capture it. Looking at the burning flames in front of the viewing platform, there are various flags of hundreds of thousands of troops in Crimea. At this time, there are hundreds of thousands of people in Donetsk waiting to be encircled and annihilated by the German army. It's really gratifying that the whole southern part of the eastern line has won one victory after another. In the northern region, lundstedt has been in the front line, and the elite under him are exerting pressure on the Soviet army day and night. It's just a matter of time before Minsk changes hands. Everything is being implemented step by step according to the German script. The flames were burning, and the military flags were reduced to ashes in the flames. Akkado did not know how many Soviet military flags to burn before he could come to the negotiation table with Stalin. But he longed for that day more than ever. After all, this war has been long enough and there are enough things lost“ You are right Akado looked at Manstein: "call Stalin back to the table! It's an order Manstein laughed, naturally: "yes, my Fuehrer! I will bring you victory
