After Major General Fegelein went out, Lin Wei called Crawford to his side and whispered, "Before Major General Fegelein leaves, you go see him and make sure he saves Florian. The strength of the Gael Cavalry Division!" The reason why I didn't say it openly is because this matter can only be understood and cannot be explained. If it were spread, those people at the Supreme Command might be planning Lin Wei, but Lin Wei really couldn't do anything. If Major General Fegelein went too far and defeated the Florian Gale Cavalry Division, Lin Wei wouldn't even have time to cry. The Waffen SS troops were originally composed of Germans. There are not many, and the complexity of the Southeast Army Group is even more chaotic than that of the Eight-Nation Allied Forces. Lin Wei naturally wants to cherish the main force.
"Okay, let's adjourn the meeting. Go down and prepare immediately. Once the order comes, you must immediately go into battle!" Lin Wei waved his hand and ended the meeting, which was not long. In general, Lin Wei besides sending out three He didn't do anything other than personal teaching. He just talked some useless nonsense and the meeting ended. This cannot be blamed on Lin Wei. Although he attended a military school when he was a child, the little things he learned in school over the years have long been given back to society. Besides, there was no familiar person here. Heydrich was still in the country and without important helpers around him, Lin Wei naturally became silent.
Regardless of the reaction of these division commanders, Lin Wei immediately stood up and walked out of the headquarters. The hot light shone directly on Lin Wei's face without any obstruction, making Lin Wei's eyes feel a little sore. Crawford, who followed him out, saw this and thought Something happened to Lin Wei, and he immediately helped Lin Wei. Lin Wei jumped up, pushed Crawford aside and said, "What are you doing? I'm only thirty-five years old and I look younger than you." ! Besides, it’s better for two men not to be so close!” Crawford originally wanted to explain, but as soon as Lin Wei spoke, Crawford’s head was filled with black thoughts.
"The war between Smolensk and Ukraine is in full swing. I am just like a normal person. Just wait. You will definitely be surprised by the number of Soviet soldiers. There will always be times when you ask me for help!" Although he was reluctant, Lin Wei I still continue this idle life, but Lin Wei believes that this life will not last too long. The strength of Army Group South is simply not enough, unless the Supreme Command gives up the attack on Moscow and deploys troops from Army Group Center to support Army Group South. Only in this way can we fight against the Soviet Southwest Front Army. If we don't do this, we can only use the troops of the Southeast Army Group. There will always be a chance to perform in the Battle of Kiev.
Alas... Lin Wei sighed sadly and had to close his eyes to sleep. Now besides sleeping, Lin Wei really couldn't do anything. Now the situation of the Waffen SS is very embarrassing. Army Group North has surrounded the Soviet Northwest Front Army in the narrow strip from Estonia to Leningrad. Although it is limited by its strength and cannot annihilate the Northwest Front Army for the time being, as long as it is surrounded for a long time, it can achieve victory. Victory is a matter of time, and although the plan of the two armed SS divisions on the northern front to capture Leningrad has failed, the SS troops that have entered Leningrad have firmly pinned Lenin. The western city of Grad left a stronghold for the German army to occupy Ningrad. As long as the Northwest Front was annihilated, Marshal Loeb's Northern Army Group could use the area controlled by the armed SS to attack the city of Leningrad.
As for Army Group Center, not to mention, he is the most powerful of the three German army groups. Moreover, Army Group Center has now annexed the Armored Group of Army Group North and annihilated Army Group Center of the Soviet Western Front in Minsk. The situation is booming, and now they are fighting the newly formed Western Front in Smolensk. Although the battle is not over yet, Lin Wei believes that the armored group composed of Guderian and General Hott will definitely lead Army Group Center to victory.
As for the southern front, Marshal Rundstedt is currently deploying troops in Ukraine and has gained some advantages. It is the slowest among the three army groups. However, Lin Wei knows that once the southern front succeeds, it will definitely be an earth-shattering success.
"Wait..., what did I just think of! The Western Front Army was annihilated, and the Northwest Front Army was surrounded!" Lin Wei's closed eyes suddenly opened, and he sat up suddenly, trying to connect what he had just thought of. After a long time, The car had stopped in front of the hotel where Lin Wei was staying. Lin Wei came to his senses and said, "Go to the airport. I want to go back to Germany. Notify General Antonescu to arrange a plane for me!"
"What?" Adjutant Crawford said hoarsely, "Leader, what did you just say?" Crawford never dreamed that the leader, who had an attack of his own nerves, would actually get on his nerves again at this juncture, and overcome him. Crawford actually listened to Lin Wei's analysis of the situation. Of course he knew that an earth-shattering war was about to break out in Ukraine, and the time was just recently. Crawford never expected that his leader would return to the country at this time.
"I said I want to return to China!" Lin Wei repeated again, "I have something to return to Germany! This matter is very important. If done well, it can be compared with the annihilation of the Southwest Front Army!" Ignoring the look in Crawford's eyes Surprised, Lin Wei said briefly, "If I am not in Romania and Marshal Rundstedt or Marshal Manstein requests support from the Southeast Army Group, you can just do it, but there is one thing. , the military police, the police, the skeletons, and the three divisions are not allowed to move without my order. In addition, you must send someone to contact the Volga Germans to provide support. If possible, let them cooperate with our actions! The speed must be fast , otherwise it will be too late! The Volga Germans are familiar with the situation here. If they serve Germany, it will be beneficial to the early end of the war!" In Lin Wei's memory, Stalin's actions within three months of the beginning of the Soviet-German war , successively forced more than a dozen ethnic groups to migrate to Siberia and Central Asia, including the Volga Germans.
Lin Wei's memory is correct. During the Soviet-German War, Stalin was worried that the Volga Germans would react. On August 28, 1941, he ordered the abolition of the "Volga German Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic" and forced the Germans living there to The migration also included other local ethnic groups living in the Volga region. They were stripped of their land and houses and moved east to Kazakhstan in Central Asia, the Altai Krai in Siberia, and other distant areas. Similar situations also occurred with other ethnic minorities in the Soviet Union, including North Caucasian peoples, Muslims, Kalmyks, Tatars, etc.
"But, leader! Our forces have not reached the Volga River yet! Those Volga Germans may not listen to us!" Crawford said, "We can only reach the Volga River Basin after we capture Ukraine. We will not be able to contact you by then. What?"
It will be too late by then. Lin Wei thought for a moment and said, "I'm asking you to contact us now, not so that they can immediately cooperate with our actions!"
Regardless of whether this matter succeeds or fails, it will only benefit Germany without any harm. If it succeeds, it will certainly be supported by a group of Germans who are familiar with the terrain of the Soviet Union. If it fails, according to Lin Wei's understanding of Stalin, Stalin will definitely use extreme methods to deal with it. Volga Germans, since this, Lin Wei is ready to smear the Soviet Union again. When the time comes, it will be publicized together with the Katyn Massacre, and the reputation of the Soviet Union will be completely bad. No one dares to help the Soviet Union openly, even the United States will only do so secretly, which will be very beneficial to Germany. When Japan attacks Pearl Harbor, covert assistance from the United States will be cut off for a year, and Germany can easily strangle the Soviet Union.
In the afternoon, Lin Wei got on the plane back to Germany. As Lin Wei's adjutant, Crawford came to see Lin Wei off the plane as a matter of course. When Lin Wei got on the plane, Crawford vaguely heard Lin Wei mutter something. ,; "It's been happening for several days, I'm such a pig!" Full of doubts, Crawford temporarily replaced Lin Wei in the Southeast Army Group, which had no combat missions.
As soon as Lin Wei returned to China, the people of the Supreme Command were shocked and dumbfounded. They thought Lin Wei came back from the front specifically to settle accounts with them. However, Lin Wei has no time to argue with the people of the Supreme Command now. It is not good for both parties to break up. The only unlucky one is Germany. Although the Wehrmacht is able to stabilize itself in the military, the Socialist Party of China has the upper hand in government agencies. Absolute superiority, and in terms of obedience, the military must accept the leadership of the legal government.
As soon as Lin Wei returned to Berlin, he found Heydrich, who had succeeded Lin Wei in Berlin, and immediately began to collect information on the commander of the Western Front, General Pavlov, especially the recent situation. Heydrich was also very surprised by Lin Wei's sudden return to China. After hearing Lin Wei's intention, he found what Lin Wei wanted and asked, "Lampard, Pavlov is a dead man now, do you want him?" What’s the information for?”
"Wait a minute, I'm telling you!" Lin Wei turned over the whole process of General Pavlov's arrest, shooting, and then sentencing. Yes, it was shot and then sentenced.
During this period, there was a lot of information about General Pavlov. Mainly because Stalin used Pavlov to scare people who dared to neglect their duties in order to scare the monkeys. In fact, this has good and bad aspects. The good aspect is that it can really deter people. Live with some commanders and let them fight to the death. The bad thing is that if this order is used by someone with ulterior motives, Stalin can still shoot himself in the foot. This is the kind of person Lin Wei wants to be. On July 28, 1941, Order No. 0250 was issued based on the decision of the National Defense Committee, in view of the fact that the former Commander of the Western Front D.G. Pavlov, the former Chief of Staff of the Western Front V. Ye Klimovsky, the Front Army The panicked behavior of Chief of Communications An. Te Grigoriev and the former commander of the Fourth Army of the Western Front Y. An. Korobkov, leaving strategic positions without permission from their superiors, led to the breakdown and ineffective command of the troops. , according to the decision of the National Defense Commission, the above four people were arrested and handed over to a military court for trial. The Supreme Court of the Soviet Union ruled on July 22, 1941, that G. Pavlov, V. Y. Klimovsky, An. De. Grigoriev and Ya. An. Ko The following accusations against Robkov were established.
According to the judgment of the Supreme Court of the Soviet Union, D. G. Pavlov, V. Y. Klimovsky, An. T. Grigoriev and Y. An. Korobkov were deprived of their military ranks. Sentenced to death by firing squad. The judgment has been carried out. I warn that whoever violates his military oath, forgets his duty to the motherland, tarnishes the noble title of a Red Army soldier, shows cowardice and panic, leaves his combat post without permission, or surrenders to the enemy without fighting, will be subject to the strictest military law ruthless punishment.
"Ha..., that's him! Heydrich, look at Pavlov's three crimes!" Lin Wei pointed at the information and said to Heydrich.
The former commander of the Western Front, D. G. Pavlov, and the former chief of staff of the Western Front, F. Y. Klimovsky, behaved in panic, incompetent command, and Sit back and watch as the command of the troops collapsed, resulting in a large number of weapons and warehouses falling into the hands of the enemy, and leaving the Western Front's combat positions without permission, giving the enemy an opportunity to break through the front's defense lines.
Antoine Grigoriev, the former communications director of the Western Front, was supposed to establish continuous and smooth communications between the front headquarters and combat troops, but he behaved in a panic and criminally did nothing, and did not use radio contact, which led to the end of the war. In the first few days, the military operations of various combat units were in a state of no command.
The commander of the Fourth Army of the Western Front, Y. An. Korobkov, behaved in a panic, acted criminally, and shamefully abandoned the troops who trusted him, causing the army to disintegrate and suffer huge losses. Therefore, D. G. Pavlov, V. Y. Klimovsky, An. T. Grigoriev and Y. An. Korobkov betrayed their military oath and disgraced the Red Army The noble title of warriors, forgetting their duty to the motherland, their panic and cowardice, their criminal inaction, their disruption of the command of the troops, their transfer of weapons and warehouses into the hands of the enemy, and their unauthorized absence from their combat positions gave the troops of the Western Front Serious losses were caused.
"What's wrong?" Heydrich was really confused about Lin Wei's thoughts now. Is there any issue in these articles that people should pay attention to? Heydrich looked over it several times, but he really didn't find anything in it. A place where you can make a fuss.
Lin Wei unceremoniously took the coffee Heydrich had just finished, ignoring his pained expression, took a drunken sip, wiped his mouth and said, "Don't you think these three charges apply to the commander of the Northwest Front?" Admiral Kuznetsov?"
Um… ? After listening to Lin Wei's words, Heydrich suddenly came to his senses and began to compare these charges one by one. Indeed, if these three charges were compared to the chaotic situation in the early days of the sudden attack on the Soviet Union, no one of the commanders of the three fronts would dare to accuse them. He said that he had not made these mistakes, but in fact, both the Northwest Front Army and the Southwest Front Army were just like General Pavlov. They were in chaos at the beginning of the war. If they were safe, it would be fine, but the current situation of the Northwest Front Army is no better than that of the Western Front Army at that time. The situation is better. Once the Northwestern Front Army is also annihilated by the Northern Army Group, as the commander of the Northwestern Front Army, General Kuznetsov may end up like General Pavlov.
"But this does not guarantee that Admiral Kuznetsov will surrender to us. You must know that his family is in the hands of Stalin!" Heydrich immediately thought of the loophole and said, "Admiral Kuznetsov will not You can't see the fate of General Pavlov. The reason why he didn't surrender even though he was surrounded by us is that he is determined to fight to the death. Lampard, although your idea is very novel, I don't think the success rate is high! "Heydrich rejected Lin Wei's proposal from a professional perspective.
Lin Wei seemed to think it was unreliable, but he immediately thought of another move that would definitely shake Admiral Kuznetsov and said, "If we ask to see Admiral Kuznetsov, do you think he will?" Won’t you see us?”
"Maybe!" Heydrich said uncertainly, "Even if you want to refuse sternly, you should make it clear in person, unless these Russians don't show any courtesy at all!"
"That's good, let's go to the Northern Line! I'll go to the Supreme Command now to explain, and then we'll set off!" Lin Wei did what he said, and immediately rushed to the Supreme Command without stopping, Bande The high command headquarters at No. 10 Le Street was as lively as usual. When Lin Wei arrived, the atmosphere seemed to pause for a moment, but immediately, Marshal Blomberg asked: "As a frontline Army Group Commander, Lampard, you should be with your soldiers now!"
"The Southeast Army Group has no combat missions now!" Lin Wei retorted. Anyone who is a member of the National Defense Forces would inevitably be dismissed if he said such words on such an occasion. But Lin Wei was different. Firstly, he is not a soldier. Secondly, the armed SS will not listen to anyone except Lin Wei. Thirdly, all the secret police forces in Germany are in the hands of the SS. In other words, Lin Wei only needs to If you are willing, you can put all these generals under house arrest in a very short period of time without letting the frontline generals find out.
So after Lin Wei retorted, he directly interrupted his questioning and said, "Heydrich and I have an idea that needs to be implemented. Now we need the assistance of Marshal Loeb. We hope that the Supreme Command can order the Northern Army Group to attack the entrenched troops." The attack of the Northwest Front creates conditions for our ideas! At least Stalin in Moscow must feel that the Soviet Northwest Front that is now surrounded is very dangerous, so that it can be beneficial to the plan!"
"Tell me what you think!" Marshal Blomberg, who originally wanted to reprimand Lin Wei, finally decided to listen to Lin Wei's thoughts.
