"Yes, Your Majesty! General Yoder is right!" The voice came from outside the door. As the voice came in, amidst everyone's astonishment, Lin Wei walked in from the door of the large conference room. Lin Wei's pale face shocked everyone. Now Lin Wei's face was frighteningly pale, like a prisoner in prison who hadn't seen the sun for several months. When Lin Wei walked to the table, he had to help himself to regain his balance.
"Lampard, weren't you with Gustave in Essen? When did you come back!" Seeing Lin Wei was beyond everyone's expectations. As the most distinguished person at this time, he asked Let’s start with Wilhelm II.
"Your Majesty, you are right! I was in Essen yesterday. As for when I came back? Please wait a moment..." Lin Wei slowly raised his arm, looked at it steadily for a few seconds and then said , "I entered Berlin fifteen minutes ago! Then I rushed to Bandler Street!" While speaking, Lin Wei did not forget to rub his eyes to make the bloodshot eyes disappear. Doesn't look so scary.
"Haha..., don't you need to be so anxious?" William II could certainly see Lin Wei's tiredness and encouraged him.
Of course it is necessary! Lin Wei did not agree with William II's statement in his heart. Lin Wei thought that discussing such an important plan would not be put on the agenda until at least December. This is the time in history, but he did not expect that after the leader changed, It actually advanced the time by more than two months. If the Gestapo hadn't reported the situation to him, he would have been almost caught off guard. Thinking that he hadn't even finished watching the helicopter experiment, he looked anxious and panicked after hearing about the situation. It seems a little too ridiculous now.
"Your Majesty, uncles and uncles! Can you bring me a chair?" Lin Wei didn't even have the strength to stand now. Under normal circumstances, Lin Wei wouldn't cry out in front of so many people if he was beaten to death, but Lin Wei really couldn't stand it anymore today. When the Gestapo notified Lin Wei, the train from Essen to Berlin had already departed. It was obviously unrealistic to order the train to come back. So Lin Wei came here in a bumpy car, and he hasn't even eaten yet. Is it worth rushing here for this meeting? Of course it was worth it, but it was really worth it to let Lin Wei understand all aspects of the plan to attack the Soviet Union without eating or sleeping for a day.
Everyone could see that Lin Wei was indeed very tired, so they didn't care about this small unreasonable request at this time. Moreover, even uncles and uncles were called out, and everyone had a tacit understanding to adopt a silent attitude on this matter. William II waved his hand and asked the waiter to bring a chair, and Lin Wei sat on it, waiting for everyone. of the following.
However, after Lin Wei's interference, everyone's thinking was obviously not on the same page. General Yodel asked, "Lampard, aren't you checking arsenals everywhere? What's the situation now? By the way, what's your next move?" The station should be the Skoda Arsenal in the Sudetenland, right?”
"The itinerary depends on the time available. In my opinion, the problem of the Soviet Union is more important. The uncles have just said it in detail, but the threat from the Soviet Union is indeed very great, so we need to give it to the uncles and uncles. Think more!" Lin Wei brought the off-topic topic back to its original point without leaving any trace. Lin Wei came here to listen to Barbarossa's plan, not to listen to these old people caring about him.
After listening to Lin Wei's words, these people suddenly realized that they really seemed to have gone off topic just now. Now it seems that the Barbarossa Plan is more important. Marshal von Blomberg said, "Lampard, this is our Plan! You take a look first, I want to hear your opinion, after all, you young people may have different ideas than us!"
The main contents of the plan are: 1. After the war against Britain ends, use a quick campaign to defeat the Soviet Union within one and a half to two months. 2. First, use a surprise attack to annihilate the troops in the western military districts of the former Soviet Union so that they cannot retreat to the interior. Then, with tank troops as the lead and supplemented by air force support, attack into the hinterland of the Soviet Union in three ways and occupy Moscow and Leningrad. and Donbass.
The German troops along the eastern front were divided into three groups. Marshal von Loeb commanded the "Northern" Army Group, which had jurisdiction over the 16th and 18th Group Armies and the 4th Tank Group, a total of 29 divisions. Supported by 1,070 aircraft of the First Air Force, Attack from the east of Kaliningrad towards Pskov and Leningrad, eliminate the Red Army in the Baltic coastal areas, occupy the port, seize the Soviet fleet base, prevent the Red Army from retreating from the Baltic Sea to the east, and capture Leningrad at the appropriate time .
Marshal von Bock commands the "Center" Army Group, which has jurisdiction over the 4th and 9th Armies and the 2nd and 3rd Tank Groups, 50 divisions and 2 brigades. Strategic direction: Warsaw, Poland - Brest - Ming Dynasty Sk - Smolensk - Moscow. It is necessary to encircle and annihilate the Soviet army in Belarus and separate the Red Army's frontal strategic defense.
Marshal von Rundsted commanded the "South" Group, which had jurisdiction over the 6th, 17th, and 11th Army Groups, the Romanian 3rd and 4th Army Groups, the 1st Tank Group, and the Hungarian Rapid Army, a total of 57 divisions. 13 brigades, supported by a total of 1,300 aircraft of the Fourth Air Force and the Romanian Air Force, attacked Korosten and Kiev along Helm-Rzeszow in Poland, destroyed the Ukrainian Red Army on the right bank, and attacked Donbass .
Before Lin Wei finished reading, Yoder walked up to the map with a pointer. This is the war plan against the Soviet Union formulated by our Army General Staff based on Instruction No. 21. We call it the Barbarossa Plan. The main theme of this plan was that the German armed forces should destroy the Soviet Union in a quick campaign after the end of the war with Britain. To this end, we will devote the main forces of the army and air force and retain only the minimum strength in other areas of the Western Front. Saying this, he raised his pointer. According to our plan, the entire war will be divided into three stages. The first stage: The German armored forces, with the cooperation of aviation, should boldly wedge into the depth of the Soviet army along both sides of Pripyat. Leave it unseen in national borders. The remnants of the military organization retreated across the Dnieper River to the west of the Dvina River. Occupy the Baltic and Leningrad regions. After this decisive stage, the German army's task in the second stage was much easier, mainly to continue to pursue the remnants of the Soviet army and defeat its reserves. Seize Moscow and Donbas simultaneously. In the third stage, the German army moved unopposed through Arkhangelsk, the Volga River and Astrakhan. German bombers would take off from there to destroy Soviet industrial areas in the Urals..."
"Wait, General Yodel! Are you planning after the war with Britain is over?" Lin Wei, who was still immersed in the information just now, raised his head and said.
"Yes, Lampard, what do you think?" General Yodel was quite pleasant to Lin Wei. If another SS man had asked this question, Yodel would have asked someone to blast him out. Although Yoder A long time for Hit? Le made suggestions, but this did not mean that Yoder looked at the SS differently. On the contrary, General Yodel, like many generals of the Wehrmacht, was very indifferent to the SS. If Lin Wei was not the leader of the SS, these Wehrmacht generals would be in the way. For Gustav's sake, the SS had long been uprooted.
"Uncle Yodel!" Lin Wei felt much better after resting for a while. In front of so many powerful figures in the German military, Lin Wei still needed to maintain a minimum of courtesy. He nodded to General Yodel and said, "Uncle Yodel." , if after the Battle of Britain is over, no matter how we deceive, Stalin will never believe Germany again! So I think that the Barbarossa Plan must be launched at the end of the Battle of Britain! Only in this way, Stalin will believe that Germany does not Time to act against the Soviet Union!"
"But, in this case, we in Germany are fighting on two fronts!" Thinking of the problems that Germany has always faced in history because it is located in the middle of Europe, General Jodel shuddered and looked around. Jodel knew, Many generals here have the same idea as myself.
"Opportunities and risks coexist, Uncle Yodel, Britain is definitely going to be doomed!" Lin Wei's voice was a little louder, but he did not mean to intimidate, and he persuaded, "If we take measures against England after conquering Scotland, The tactic of siege but not attack, claiming to the outside world that England is heavily defended, and completely blocking information about England. Even if other countries want to find out the information, it is not so easy! Finally, we can end the United Kingdom at any time after the Barbarossa plan begins. Battle, it will not be difficult to conquer the besieged England at this time, because I don’t believe that England’s land of more than 100,000 square kilometers can support tens of millions of people! Unless they all eat dirt!”
Jodel and von Blomberg looked at each other and decided to leave this topic to William II for decision. William II nodded to General Jodel and said that Lin Wei's opinion could indeed be considered, and Jodel said nothing. , and continued to introduce, "After the war begins, three million National Defense Forces will crush the Soviet Union. With the troops of Romania and other countries, the number can reach nearly four million! This is an absolutely unprecedented number!"
The number is not 5.5 million? Lin Wei was surprised by the number of offensive troops, but it was right to think about it. How could the 190 divisions participating in the war reach 5.5 million troops? If Germany's military strength was not 5.5 million, then there was only one possibility. , the history that Lin Wei studied when he was in school, it is a lie to say that Germany mobilized 5.5 million troops in the Barbarossa Plan. In fact, Germany now only has a field army of about 3.8 million, and the remaining 100 Two hundred thousand reserve troops! The five million army, plus the air force and navy, give a total of 7.3 million German troops. If another 1.2 million Air Force soldiers are added to the number of soldiers participating in Project Barbarossa, the number can barely reach 5.5 million. But can the participating troops of the Air Force be included in it
"These shameless Soviets, I have received wrong education for so many years!" After a little conversion, Lin Wei knew that his original education was full of loopholes, and the Barbarossa plan part had no credibility at all. At this time, General Yodel had already finished speaking about the plan. After General Yodel finished speaking about the plan, William II said, "Now everyone can discuss how to achieve the greatest success at the minimum cost?"
Lin Wei scratched his head and said, "Your Majesty, the SS headquarters has a lot of information on the Soviet Union. I would like to ask the generals to wait a moment so that I can have time to introduce the situation in the Soviet Union to the generals!"
In the approval of everyone, William II announced a temporary rest, waiting for Lin Wei's men to mobilize the information they needed now from the SS.
After half an hour, Lin Wei's adjutant Crawford brought all the information Lin Wei needed. Looking at the thick pile of information, many generals had very wonderful expressions. General Ludwig sighed. ,; "Lampard, have you been collecting intelligence on the Soviet Union since you were born?"
"That's not true!" Lin Wei said while flipping through useful information; "But the Soviet Union is Germany's enemy. This has been determined since the annexation of Austria. Marshal Tukhachevsky is still our SS We used counterintuitive tactics to kill him, and of course it was inseparable from Stalin's help. Stalin had always been wary of Trotsky's influence in the army. We just gave Stalin a chance to take action! Later everyone knew that Stalin had The army was purged!”
"Okay, found it!" Lin Wei finally found what he needed, glanced at the generals around him and said, "Now let me introduce the situation in the Soviet Union, mainly from three aspects! Please listen carefully! First , the current population of the Soviet Union consists of more than 170 ethnic groups, speaking 140 different languages. But some ethnic groups are very small. Because 14 of them account for 94% of the total population of the country. Only twenty ethnic groups have a population of more than 500,000. Russians number more than 90 million, Ukrainians about 40 million, and Belarusians close to 10 million. The Soviet Union was able to mobilize communists born between 1905 and 1918 in a short period of time. Fourteen batches of reservists. There are approximately 20 million to 30 million reservists!"
Looking at everyone's shocked eyes, Lin Wei said, "Our population in Germany is 66 million, plus the Germans from Czechoslovakia, Poland, Hungary, and Austria, as well as the German-Americans who came back from the United States, Germany can The reliable population is 83 million people! The total maximum number of troops we can mobilize for the war is 16 million! In fact, if we mobilize more than 10 million people to join the army, even if Germany wins the war, it will be a tragic victory. ! As you can see, the Soviet Union’s military strength is two to three times that of ours. What we can rely on is that the German army now has combat experience. But once the war starts, the armies of both sides will immediately have combat experience! It can be said that from the population In this regard, we are at a complete disadvantage!”
Lin Wei's words caused an uproar, forcing William II to maintain a somewhat noisy order. Marshal von Blomberg, the commander-in-chief, said dumbly, "Lampard, is this true? The population between us Is the gap so big? It seems that we must ensure the 100% success of the plan and kill the Soviet Union at once, otherwise it will be too scary to wait for the Soviet Union to mobilize!"
"As you can see, Marshal Blomberg!" Lin Wei bowed slightly and said, "Now I will talk about the solution to the population of the Soviet Union. The three most powerful ethnic groups in the Soviet Union are Russia, Ukraine and Belarus! So! The plan we adopt is to divide! We will adopt a friendly attitude towards the Ukrainians and Belarusians, but we will hit the Russians hard! There will be as many as possible! If necessary, after the war starts, we can let the news out, so that Ukraine and Belarus Independence, anyway, after the war, Russia was no longer hit. The Ukrainians and Belarusians naturally could not make a big storm! In addition, to deal with the small ethnic groups who sided with the Soviet Union, take strong measures when necessary !" When he said this, Lin Wei thought of Stalin again. In history, Stalin exiled more than a dozen ethnic groups in one go because some ethnic groups sympathized with Germany. Lin Wei had never heard that ethnic groups could also be exiled. Since Stalin could be exiled, and so could Lin Wei.
William II was attracted by Lin Wei's words. He raised his hand to continue. Lin Wei saw that no one had any objections and continued, "Second, the current armed forces of the Soviet Union!" Lin Wei raised his head and introduced, "Second, the current armed forces of the Soviet Union!" "The armed forces of the Soviet Union have continued to rise in the past few years, and as time goes by, the armed forces of the Soviet Union are getting faster and faster! The armed forces of the Soviet Union are now about five million. Due to time constraints, it is impossible for me to know that the Soviet Union now has We can only provide an approximate figure for how many troops there are. Among these five million troops, the Soviet Army has a total of 178 infantry divisions, 18 mountain divisions, 2 motorized infantry divisions, and 40 tank divisions. The Soviet Union's establishment is slightly smaller than ours. , but not too many! On the western border with us, most of the Soviet armed forces are deployed, 40 tank divisions. 20 motorized divisions. 103 infantry divisions. 7 cavalry divisions. A total of 170 One division and two brigades! In other words, not only do we have no advantage when attacking, but there may be more Soviet Red Army troops on the defensive than us!"
"What scares me even more is..." At this point, Lin Wei talked about the Soviet-Finnish war a year ago, "We once brought back a T34 tank in Finland secretly, passing by Krupp Family test!" Seeing everyone listening, Lin Wei said softly, "In addition to being inferior to the Panzer IV tank in terms of maneuverability, the T34 tank is worse than the Panzer IV tank in terms of firepower, defense, and other indicators. On top of the No. 1 tank! According to my estimate, there should be about a thousand T34s equipped now!"
