On the other hand, the unprecedented performance of the German Navy has also made the German Wehrmacht, which has always been dominated by the army, shine. It is foreseeable that the German Navy will play a greater role in the next war, rather than looking at the German Army. Compared with the Air Force, originally, when comparing the three armies of Germany and the Soviet Union, only the German Navy was far more powerful than the Soviet Red Navy. Historically, the German Navy still blocked the Soviet Red Navy in the Baltic Sea at the end of 1944. Compared with the original The performance of the powerful Wehrmacht Army and the German Navy was indeed eye-catching.
Compared with Germany, the weakness of the Soviet Union also lies in its navy. Originally, the German navy was one of the weakest among European countries. It was completely incomparable with the army, but it was still more than enough. Although the German navy was repeatedly attacked, its strength Still above the Soviet Red Navy. If Germany can face up to the value of its navy, Lin Wei believes that Marshal Redl can greatly promote Germany's war process.
Although the Soviet Union is huge, it cannot be lost anywhere. The most important regions of the Soviet Union are Ukraine and the Caucasus. The former is the granary and industrial center of the Soviet Union. If Ukraine is lost, the Soviet Union will lose at least half of its independent support for the war. Possibly, the Caucasus is an important oil center of the Soviet Union. Without it, the Soviet tank army, which is far more numerous than the German armored forces, will immediately become scrap metal, because the Soviet Union is far from Germany in terms of synthetic fuels. For example, the gap between the two sides can be compared. The synthetic fuel produced by Germany can allow the No. 4 tank to continue fighting safely. If the Soviet Union develops in this direction, the same amount of energy spent on fuel can only make Stalin drink a cup of hot coffee.
The decisive point of the entire Soviet-German war lies in who can control Ukraine and the Caucasus. Historically, Germany successfully occupied Ukraine, but failed to occupy the Caucasus. As long as Germany can occupy these two places, it will become Soviet-German. The winner of the war.
The news of the annihilation of the Soviet Western Front sent the Supreme Command into a frenzy. Although the war had just begun, the strength of the Soviet Red Army had indeed exceeded Germany's expectations. Although Lin Wei had tried his best to make everyone face the Soviet Union's intentions before the war began. Military strength, but now everyone is still surprised by the strength of the Soviet Union. Lin Wei can only be surprised with them. This kind of question can prompt. If Marshal Bloomberg asks Lin Wei how he knows the effect of Soviet mobilization, Lin Wei couldn't answer at all.
Fortunately, there were occasional twists and turns in the process, but it finally got off to a smooth start. Less than a month after the war began, half a million Soviet Red Army troops had already entered prisoner-of-war camps. Both Marshal Blomberg and General Yodl had no interest in the war. With an optimistic attitude, even if the Soviet Union's mobilization system becomes stronger, it is impossible to build a huge army in just a few months, right? Lin Wei was optimistic about the high command. Lin Wei watched coldly for a long time and finally decided to shut up. Because even if Lin Wei told the real situation, no one would believe that a country actually sent ordinary people who had no experience in military training directly to the battlefield. During the entire World War II, except for Germany and Japan, which were in dire straits in the later period, Only two countries have done this, one is the Soviet Union and the other is China.
"Okay, please calm down, it's too early to talk about victory now!" Marshal Blomberg, the commander of the Soviet Union, waved his hand and said, "The Soviet Union has three major front armies on the western border. The Western Front Army no longer exists, and the Northwest Front Army now Already entangled by Marshal Loeb's Northern Army Group, the only unstable factor is the Southwest Front in Ukraine. Marshal Rundstedt's Southern Army Group is really reluctant to fight against them. As we all know, Ukraine is very concerned about the trend of the war. Important! So..." When he heard this, Lin Wei's heart trembled slightly, knowing that the drama was coming. Sure enough, he heard Marshal Blomberg say, "Admiral Yoder, I and Brauchich After the marshal's discussion, he felt that a new army group should be established to cooperate with Marshal Rundstedt to fight in the southern part of the Soviet Union. The new army group was the Southeast Army Group, corresponding to the Soviet Southwest Front. The main combat areas were Ukraine and the Caucasus. Region! This order is issued in the name of the Supreme Command!"
"Commander of the Southeast Army Group!" Marshal Blomberg glanced at Lin Wei with his piercing eyes, and finally landed on Lin Wei and said, "National leader of the SS, General of the Armed SS, General of the Police, The Prime Minister of Bavaria, Lampard & Krupp, will be in charge, and the troops of the Waffen SS that entered the Soviet Union will immediately form the Southeast Army Group, and the internal affairs of the Waffen SS will remain unchanged!"
Under the different eyes of everyone, Lin Wei slowly stood up and accepted the appointment of Marshal Blomberg with an expressionless face. He said as if he was making a promise or talking to himself, "General Rampa of the Waffen-SS of the Greater German Empire." De Krupp accepts the appointment, and within two months, the Soviet Southwest Front will be completely destroyed at the hands of the Southeast Army Group!"
Bang bang bang... No matter what everyone was thinking in their hearts, on the surface they all appreciated Lin Wei's heroic words. The applause lasted for a long time. Lin Wei waited for the applause to end and said slowly, "Armed SS They have all arrived in the Soviet Union, and I will soon go to Romania to take office. The work of strictly preventing spies and maintaining public security in the country will be left to Heydrich! I hope that all the generals can cooperate. I will leave first!" After speaking, Lin Wei bowed slightly. He stood up and slowly exited this large conference room.
After the meeting, Marshal Brauchic looked at Marshal Blomberg, who had been silent after Lin Wei left, and sighed and said, "With Lampard's current qualifications, is it too early to be the commander of an army group?" Point? Moreover, by letting the Armed SS form the Southeast Army Group, there are some suspicions that they want to swallow up the Armed SS. I wonder what this little guy thinks?"
Marshal Blomberg stubbed out the burning scholar in his hand, glanced at his old friend, and said with an uncertain tone, "No matter what, if a country has two armies, don't you think it's very... Isn’t it weird? And it’s not good for the stability of the country. The Wehrmacht can make concessions on anything, but this is the only one. The Waffen SS must disappear in the long run. I think Lampard can accept this appointment. I also took into account the position of the Wehrmacht. You also know that those guys in the officer corps have always had opinions about the Waffen SS, and I was also under a lot of pressure!"
"I hope it's as you said!" Marshal Brauchic sighed secretly and stopped talking, but then he thought of something again and said, "The little guy's father Gustav is not an easy person to deal with. We Can this old guy let go of plotting against his son? Moreover, people from the Kolddorff, Thyssen, and Ronald families who are friends with Gustav, and families related to the Krupp family's business, once these people are betrayed by Gustav, If Staff comes to find us, they don’t care even if it’s our National Defense Forces. After all, it’s impossible for the National Defense Forces to use force to suppress their own citizens!”
Brauchitsch's words are indeed what Marshal Blomberg is worried about now. The Wehrmacht's ideas will never be hidden from Gustav, and once Gustav wants to seek justice for his son, it is indeed possible for the Wehrmacht and the Wehrmacht to The officer corps behind the scenes was very troubled. However, Marshal Blomberg was worried and could only comfort him, "Maybe Gustav can understand the decision of the Wehrmacht!"
This communication made the two Wehrmacht bosses a little uninterested, but they soon forgot about it. After all, the war between Germany and the Soviet Union is still in full swing. One of them is the commander and the other is the commander-in-chief of the army. They have a lot of things every day. I was busy with things, so I quickly forgot about it.
Lin Wei left the Supreme Command, got in the car and immediately asked a private driver to drive to the Capitol. Hess was still waiting for Lin Wei there. This time Lin Wei was preparing a bill to stop the exclusion of Jews. This was also the first move of this Congress. The mobile phone exercised its power for the last time, because these people will be replaced soon. As for the list of members of the new Congress, Lin Wei has already seen it. They are all National Socialists who fanatically support Germany's war. These people There is no doubt that everyone supports the current Soviet-German war, and there will be no constraints at critical moments.
There is no doubt that the bill to stop the exclusion of Jews has the support of many people. This may be the most democratically passed high vote in Congress in recent years. It seems that in the eyes of these congressmen, this kind of bill has long been unpopular. Lin Wei was unwilling to say more about the scene. With the official attitude of the Congress, Lin Wei could order the SS guards in the isolation area and concentration camp to officially release the Jews. Most of the first batch of Jews to be released were the elderly and the elderly with physical diseases. Children, healthy women and adult men are not among them for the time being. However, it will be a matter of time before all the Jews are released as time goes by. The only regrettable thing is that the Jews who are released from the quarantine area are still not free for the time being. This is very important to the Jews. This is a good thing for both the Germans and the Germans, because due to the influence of the National Socialist Party, excluding Jews is still the mainstream opinion in Germany. Lin Wei can release the Jews, but it is impossible to give them equal conditions.
As for recruiting troops from among the Jews to form an army to protect the country, neither the National Socialist Party nor the Wehrmacht received support, so it could only be shelved temporarily. The National Socialist Party's attitude was mainly due to its superiority, while the Wehrmacht's attitude was much simpler. If the Jews who were afraid of being discriminated against came out to retaliate against ordinary Germans, the risk of arming them was too high. No one knew what the Jews who had lived in the quarantine zone for so long were thinking. Moreover, there is no shortage of soldiers in Germany now. There are still more than three million armed forces in the country. Although they are not comparable to the troops on the Soviet-German battlefield, they are enough to protect the country.
After leaving the Capitol, Lin Wei came to Sanssouci Palace for the last time before going to the Soviet Union. Although the entire palace was still as beautiful and noble as ever, Lin Wei could not believe that the palace was lifeless. In fact, this was exactly the case. William II Shi is still alive now. If being unconscious for a long time can be considered alive, it can be said that except for the fact that the heart is still beating, there is no difference between William II and death. Lin Wei just glanced at William II hastily. Although Lin Wei didn't understand Medicine, but looking at William II's deathly gray skin and the fact that his iconic beard has fallen out, you know that William II's life will only last a few days.
After a brief period of time, Lin Wei exchanged greetings with the next German Emperor, Crown Prince Wilhelm, the eldest son of Wilhelm II. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also commanded large-scale military operations during World War I. Lin Wei asked When asking Crown Prince William about who would win the war between Germany and the Soviet Union, Crown Prince William cautiously expressed his views. The outcome of a war sometimes depends on what happens outside the battlefield. Lin Wei thought for a long time and finally understood that Prince William meant the American attitude.
"It seems that Crown Prince William also had deep thoughts about the United States' final participation in the war during World War I!" However, through this move, Lin Wei also understood that Crown Prince William, who seemed to be inconspicuous, was also a hidden figure. In the end, Lin Wei Wei informed Crown Prince William that he would go to the Soviet Union to command the army in the war, and received the crown prince's blessing from the future German Emperor.
On July 14th, Lin Wei brought his guard to the Berlin train station. There were not many people at the scene to see him off. This was what Lin Wei asked for, but there was one person who Lin Wei could not order to move. That person was himself. wife.
The time for the train to start was coming soon. Lin Wei touched his chin and smiled unnaturally. He saw Linda looking at him affectionately without any intention of stopping. He couldn't help but said, "Dear Wife, the train is about to leave, don’t you have anything to say to me?” At the same time, I was also wondering, obviously I had already greeted her yesterday, why did this scene suddenly happen again today.
The bloody scene didn't last. Linda bit her lower lip and said with an extremely serious expression, "Is this the last battle? When will the war end?" The subtext is when will you come back.
"If it goes well, half a year is enough, but if it doesn't go well, it will take up to two years!" Lin Wei's chest was beating loudly, and he looked like he was swearing. Fortunately, Crawford and others kicked into the train early, otherwise his leader Majesty is a huge challenge, Lin Wei thought to himself, but Lin Wei didn't know that thousands of people on the train were watching the performance of the National SS Leader through the windows. It was ridiculous that Lin Wei thought he was very smart.
Linda brushed the ends of her hair with her hand and stared at Lin Wei's face for a few seconds. She seemed to believe Lin Wei's promise and said, "Leave the family affairs to me. I will definitely let my husband do it." The army will never encounter a shortage of weapons at any time!"
"Okay, I'm on the train! Take care of yourself!" The thousands of looks on the train seemed to make Lin Wei feel something. Before he could express his emotion at Linda's words, he hurriedly got on the train. Amidst the melodious whistle, Lin Wei embarked on a war journey, joining the most decisive Soviet-German battlefield in World War II.
At this time, the Central Army Group had to stop operations for two days after annihilating the Western Front. This was mainly because the Armored Group suffered huge losses, and the culprit of the Armored Group's huge losses was the Soviet Union's newly installed T34 tanks. In their reports, generals such as Guderian, Blumentritt and Dietrich expressed surprise at their first encounter with the Russian T-34 tank. They knew nothing about the T-34 tank beforehand. The armor of this kind of tank is very thick. German anti-tank shells bounced back when hit, leaving the tank unharmed. Even the Panzer Group IV tank can only tie with the T34. It is simply that the number of T34 tanks is not large compared to the total number of tanks encountered by Germany. Otherwise, it will cause greater damage to the German offensive forces. trouble. Guderian and others were keenly aware that the potential of the T34 tank was definitely more than that, and Germany needed new tanks.
Since the beginning of the war, the Germans had had an overwhelming advantage in protecting ground forces with their air force and conducting pre-war reconnaissance. Now for the first time, they could not take advantage of this advantage. Soviet fighter planes, despite being bombed on the airfields on the first day of the war and suffering heavy losses in the early fighting, continued to appear, as did the new divisions, and it was impossible to say where they came from. Moreover, the German army advanced too quickly, and Russia did not have a suitable airport, which made the German air base too far away to effectively cover frontline operations. General von Kleist said in his report: "During several advances, my armored forces encountered great difficulties due to the lack of aircraft cover."
After Marshal Bock learned the specific situation of the Armored Group Army, he could only postpone the attack, use two days to replenish supplies, and then plan a new attack plan. When Guderian visited the First SS Armored Corps from Minsk at the end of the battle, he suddenly discovered the newly equipped tanks of the First SS Armored Corps and immediately showed great interest.
After studying all aspects of the Panther tank, Guderian suddenly discovered that the Panther tank was basically built to correspond to the Soviet T34, so he asked Dietrich when this tank was built, and Dietrich told the truth. ; "The leader started mass-producing these tanks in the Krupp family a year ago. Due to the strict blockade of information, no one knows that Krupp's factory has produced more than two thousand of this new tank!"
After Guderian learned that Lin Wei was hiding his secrets, he immediately condemned this immoral behavior, and then proposed to the Supreme Command that while maintaining the production of Panzer IV tanks, the Wehrmacht should also receive an equal number of Panther tanks. Only in this way will the Armored Army not be helpless against the T34 again.
