"If the SS is subordinate to and under the command of the army, then we should not let these excellent soldiers die in vain on the front line." As one general spoke, he peeked at akado, who was sitting at the top of the table: "they need complete training and equipment to really adapt to the battlefield."
"The SS always has ways to encourage young people to join the army, and their means of recruitment are better than those of the national defense forces. They are better than us at inspiring people to join the army who don't know anything but want to die for the head of state. " Another general sighed: "we don't care to incite those who are not of the right age to talk about the great German Party and faith."
The reason why the SS was able to quickly sort out the entire 15 divisions from the rest of the population after the National Defense Army recruitment was that they were instigated by the belief that all the young and the old should take care of themselves. Moreover, they like to recruit 17-year-old and 18-year-old children to play the edge of the law and some middle-aged uncles over 35. This allows them to expand faster than the selective national defense forces.
"I have personally read the reports of these troops and carefully read them with a non discriminatory and non negative attitude." Brauchich wanted to be peaceful in this matter, so he paid more attention to his tone and embellishment: "many of these troops are not suitable for fighting. They can be used in the local security forces or in the high-level concentration camps, but they are not suitable for going to the front line."
After a pause, he stood up and said to akkado, "my head, these people have joined the Waffen SS because of their loyalty to you. We don't have to let them die meaninglessly. The troops on the front line are not in the predicament of being urgently needed. Their urgent recruitment will make the people panic. "
"I know all this, but the front line really needs two complete army groups, which you and I discussed at the last conscription meeting. We need troops to fill the expanding defense lines in the north and central areas." Akado looked at blauchich who stood up and said: "the Soviet Union's land is too vast, bigger than we thought."
After he finished, he motioned the slightly excited brauchich to sit down, and then continued to say, "my marshal, the three newly formed group armies of the national defense forces, the progress is too slow. The group army formation candidates we selected together are all excellent commanders, but they obviously lack knowledge of how to quickly prepare for the establishment of a group army."
A few months ago, after completing the reorganization of group a army, the German army began to form another three new army groups. One is group n army, which is organized and controlled by general troxerre, the other is group O army of general Reichenau, and the other is group P army of general Burke, the former chief of general staff of the army.
These three groups of forces will be put into the northern and central operations by the German forces, and will be used as the following effective forces to fight against Moscow and other regions. Unfortunately, it seems that these groups of forces may not catch up with the decisive battle between Moscow and Leningrad.
"Since the recruitment speed of the SS is faster than that of the national defense force, and the front line is indeed short of troops, why do people force these young soldiers who are loyal to me and the Empire to fight against the most powerful enemy in black uniforms that are not suitable for the battlefield environment and with obsolete weapons that no one wants?" Akado looked at the army general who had just started to attack and said coldly, "are these SS enemies of the Empire? Are they dangerous elements that need the Empire to take care of? "
Asked here, akado's tone has become a bit sinister: "if not, then these soldiers who are willing to die for me and for this country, why should they be suspected, excluded, and then die on the battlefield that they should not die in?"
Without waiting for the generals to explain, akado quickly said, "generals, are we strong enough to entrap our own people? Are we sure we can win? The next time this kind of quarrelling and tearing down each other, it will be punished as treason! That's what I said. Is there any objection? "
"..." you have said that. Who dares to object? At this time, a cough is expected to be pulled out and hanged, right? All the generals stopped talking and waited for akado to continue to say what he thought. After all, the head of state is the head of state. All of you have taken an oath in front of the national flag to be loyal to this great man until the end of the world.
"I repeat! The SS is not a substitute for the national defense force. " Akado looked at the silent generals and said in a loud voice, "the third empire has, and only has, one legitimate armed organization, the national defense forces. The Ss will always be a subsidiary of the national defense forces. Do you understand? "
After emphasizing it, he looked at blauchich: "my marshal, find a way to let your wishful generals treat the SS armed forces equally, use them to complete the task, eliminate the enemy, and establish their own merits on the battlefield! Because all of us are Germans and people of the Third Reich. We all have a goal. We are all our own people in the same boat! "
"There's no need to crowd out our own people!" "I can legislate and sign orders to disband the SS when the Empire doesn't need to arm them after the war, but don't let me hear about you pushing out the SS again, because they are soldiers who want to fight for our country and my most loyal people like you," akado said
"Yes! My Fuehrer! The IDF is willing to accept these soldiers and use them normally. " Brauchich stood up again, stood at attention and said, "except for a few divisions that I don't think are suitable for going to the front line, we will treat the rest of the troops like the national defense forces."“ Thank you very much, my marshal Akado nodded, then stood up, went to the map behind him and looked at marshal lundstedtet: "since you have come back from the front line, please tell the generals here how the war is going on in the central front line." Hearing that the Fuehrer wanted to hear the war report of the central front, lundstedt's face became dignified: "my Fuehrer, the war situation in the central part of the eastern front seems to be very favorable to us, but in fact, because the speed of the southern front is too fast, it doesn't look so optimistic." He went to the front of the map and explained in detail: "since we captured Minsk, we only had a large-scale battle with the Soviet troops on the front line of olsha. The Soviet troops rushed to fight and suffered great losses. However, we failed to capture Zhukov's main force. Instead, we consumed a lot of ammunition and fuel because of entanglement with the second-line forces of the Soviet Union. " The German army launched a fierce battle with the Soviet Red Army in the central area of the eastern front, and the olsha highland became the focus of the fierce battle between the two sides. In order to fight for it, the German army used a new type of heavy tank tiger king, and barely captured the olsha highland. Here, a tiger king tank was attacked and destroyed by the Soviet tank group, which also created a precedent for the destruction of new German tanks“ After the bitter battle in olsha, the Soviet Union seems to have given up its plan to prevent us from advancing to Smolensk. They began to use small-scale troops to delay our attack. Then they deployed about 100000 troops in Smolensk to defend the isolated city. After that, the main force retreated to 70 kilometers west of Moscow. " Said general lundstedt, pointing to the map. He made a detailed analysis of the changes in the situation of the two sides in the central region after the battle: "it seems that we have captured Minsk and surrounded Smolensk all the way. But in fact, our defense line has been pushed forward for hundreds of kilometers and our supply line has been extended for hundreds of kilometers. "“ These places need the army to maintain law and order. Starting from Minsk, most of the Soviet railways are different from our standards, and there are problems in maintenance and use. The supplies at the front line are basically transported by cars, mules and horses. " "The infrastructure of the Soviet Union is really bad," lundstedt said, pointing to the road and railway line between Minsk and Smolensk“ The railway can't be used at all, the construction standard is too poor, and this kind of thing can't be improved in a short time. " A general in charge of coordinating the transportation department echoed: "the roads are even worse. Except for several pilot projects that we helped the Soviet Union build in the early days, most of the roads they marked are dirt roads, and they can hardly be found in the snow."“ So in fact, after we ate Smolensk, the plan to attack Moscow could not be launched immediately. The Soviet supply line was getting shorter and shorter, and our supply line had more than doubled. " "It's going to be at least in the spring when the supply of troops is down," Rundstedt said Unlike the highway and railway construction in the southern region, during the honeymoon period between the Soviet Union and Germany, especially in the early days, the transportation from the Caucasus oil fields to Europe and Germany was a key project of cooperation between the two sides. Therefore, the highway and railway construction in the southern Caucasus region of the Soviet Union was still perfect, but the construction of the railway line connecting Moscow and other places in the North was seriously lagging behind, This made the German army encounter many unexpected difficulties in advancing. The railway lines marked on the map can't be used at all. The high-grade roads marked on the map are just ordinary roads in fact. Some of the ordinary roads on the map are just potholes and dirt roads. Some even don't have roads. They are completely uninhabited jungle. They forgot to set up a regular transmission before going out. As a result, they kept everyone waiting for a long time, Long Ling apologized to his friends here
