Seeing Lin Wei pointing behind them, the two marshals looked back and were shocked to see that almost all government ministers had entered the Supreme Command, which was not allowed in normal times. Suddenly, both marshals felt a bad feeling. Sure enough, Goebbels took a step forward and said, "Given the current situation and judging by the current level of control of the Supreme Command about the war situation, Dr. Schacht and the ministers and I believe that the Supreme Command no longer has the ability to continue to decide the war. Command!" Hess, Göring and Ribbentrop all nodded with a matter-of-fact expression. This made the two marshals Blomberg and Brauchic feel even more bad.
Haha... The expressions of Blomberg and the two made Lin Wei feel very happy, and the depression in his heart that had been suppressed during these days was swept away. Before the matter was over, Hess took out a letter from his arms, shook it, and said with a smile, "Marshal Bloomberg, Marshal Brauchitsch, here is a list of documents signed by 600 members of Congress. If you impeach the Supreme Command, from now on, the government will no longer recognize the war orders issued by the Supreme Command!"
"No, the responsibilities of the Supreme Command cannot be replaced by the government!" Marshal Brauchich has noticed that things are unusual, and Lin Wei has obviously been prepared for this trip. He immediately said, "Except for His Majesty, no one can give orders to the Supreme Command, not even the Congress!"
Marshal Brauchic's unexpected counterattack made Hess slightly stunned. He obviously did not expect Marshal Brauchic to suddenly say these words. But he really didn't have this thing. Although Hess could control Congress, the emperor of the German Empire was not yet within Hess's control. Hess's reaction was noticed by Marshal Brauchitsch, who immediately knew that Hess did not have the emperor's warrant, and counterattacked, "Germany has an emperor, and Germany is no longer in the Hitler era!"
"Marshal Brauchic, do you want your Majesty's warrant?" An uncertain smile appeared on Lin Wei's face. He took out a piece of paper from his pocket, shook it, and handed it to Marshal Blomberg, who was still in shock. , said with a smile, "Your Excellency, look at what this is!"
Marshal Blomberg took it and looked at it carefully. In Lin Wei's eyes, Marshal Blomberg's face immediately turned from shock to deathly gray, and finally said without any anger, "The Supreme Command accepts His Majesty's order!" Lampard, you can do what you want now! But I still want to say that the Soviets cannot be trusted!"
"Of course they can't be trusted!" Lin Wei said, "But there are some things that you can't understand in this building, that is, the Soviet Union is far from monolithic. When I fought on the front line, I not only saw bravery The Soviet Red Army that resisted our attack also saw another scene, that is, many people in Ukraine, Belarus, and even Juche Russia have a great affection for our army. They regard us as liberators. This is You people who sit in the headquarters and look at maps every day can’t see it!”
"From now on, all German troops in the war against the Soviet Union are under my command!" Lin Wei glanced at Admiral Yodel and said, "Uncle Yodel, I need you to worry more about the specific plan for the Moscow Battle. Got it!" Admiral Yodl is not as tough as Marshal Blomberg and Marshal Brauchitsch. Many times he is only responsible for the formulation of plans. Lin Wei believes that working with Admiral Yodl will be a pleasure.
Things even went smoothly beyond Lin Wei's expectations. Originally, Lin Wei thought that the command power was not so easy to win, and it might take some effort. But it turns out that Lin Wei thought so because he watched too many Chinese TV series in his previous life. In fact, there is no comparison between the concepts of life in Europe and China. China is about avoiding future troubles, while Europe recognizes a win-win situation in most cases. There are very few cases of extermination. Especially for a strict and rigid nation like the Germans, unless Hit appears? Le kind of people, otherwise most of the time Germans will abide by order and authority.
No matter what, the command of the German army has indeed fallen into Lin Wei's hands. The most important thing before Lin Wei is undoubtedly the capture of Moscow. The situation Lin Wei faces now is very favorable, even better than in history. more advantageous. Lin Wei's Armored Division plus Marshal Bock's Army Group Center have more than two million troops, while the Soviet Red Army around Moscow is about 1.3 million. But there are still problems. For example, the Soviet Union's Siberian Front in the Far East historically arrived at the last moment and increased Moscow's defensive strength, thus making Germany's offensive fall short. This requires Lin Wei to consider the extra 500,000 Siberian Front soldiers.
"Marshal Göring! I leave the air support for the Battle of Moscow to you! You are also the only marshal I can trust during the attack. I hope that your air force can ensure the silence in the sky when the imperial army attacks Moscow!" Lin Wei said without compliment. It is true that Göring is indeed arrogant, but if Lin Wei is given the choice, Lin Wei will still choose Göring instead of Marshal Kesselring or Risthoven. It is very simple. It is precisely because Göring wants to do it at all costs. Only by keeping one's word and one's temper can Lin Wei be reassured.
"Don't worry, Lampard, the Imperial Air Force will provide a reliable offensive barrier for the offensive forces!" Goering immediately patted his chest and assured.
"Minister Goebbels, now I have some information to hand over to you. I hope you can bring happiness to Germany today!" Lin Wei waved his hand, and Adjutant Crawford immediately walked out and took out three items from his briefcase. Stacking thick documents, he said, "Dear Minister, these are the surrender of the Northwest Front, the discovery of the massacre of Polish officers in the Katyn Forest, and the battle of Kiev on the southern front. I hope it will be helpful to you!"
Goebbels flipped through it casually and said with great joy, "This information is very useful. Do we want to publish it all in one day?"
"Yes, only respected ministers are qualified to tell the people these good news!" Lin Wei said with a smile.
Soon everyone dispersed. After all, they were the most powerful ministers in Germany and had many things to do every day. It was not appropriate to leave them at the Supreme Command. Only Lin Wei still did not leave. It can be seen that Marshal Blomberg and Marshal Brauchitsch are in a depressed mood now. The German army is even longer than the history of the country. When the Second Reich collapsed, with the efforts of the officer corps, the army still maintained its own tradition of. The army has even been independent of the country for a long time, but today they encountered something that the German officer corps had never encountered before, and they were forcibly deprived of command rights.
Lin Wei could guess the mood of the two marshals without even thinking. He didn't know whether it was to reassure them or for something else. Lin Wei said, "Don't worry, two marshals! After the Battle of Moscow, I will To return the command power to you, please rest assured that I never wanted to be Hitler. Full centralization of power is no longer suitable for this era!" After saying this, Lin Wei clapped his hands and walked out of the top Headquarters.
"Things are not too bad. Since he is willing to do this, let's see and decide!" Admiral Yoder said. Marshal Blomberg and Marshal Brauchic looked at each other and saw the helplessness in each other's eyes. Color, can only nod sadly.
In the evening, Lin Wei returned to Yanger Villa after a busy day. Gustav, Thyssen and Koldolf happened to be sitting in the living room. The three of them looked deeply tired. Seeing this situation, Lin Wei Wei was very surprised. It seemed that he was the busiest today. He didn't know what the three old people were doing out there.
Gustav squinted at Lin Wei and scolded with a smile, "You little bastard, you think it's enough to force the two old guys Blomberg and Brauchitsch. Blomberg, Ludwig and Freud... Liqi and Halder are the real backbone of the officer corps, and the influence of several generals who were idle during Hitler's period cannot be underestimated. If we do not compromise with these people, relying on their subordinates throughout the Wehrmacht, Do you think you can command the National Defense Forces? How naive!"
"Ha, if we hadn't gone to the officer corps to talk, you wouldn't have thought of using a unit above the military level on the Eastern Front. By the way, maybe a few of your classmates in the military academy could help you. I heard that the Stark family The little guy has become the commander of the armored division!" Thiessen said proudly, "Don't think that we can only support you secretly. If it weren't for us, you would one day be plotted by those officer corps! "
Lin Wei was shocked by the words of the old people, but he was relieved immediately. It was indeed true. Hit in history? Ledou did not completely control the Wehrmacht. He only continued to increase the proportion of the SS in the German armed forces to check and balance the Wehrmacht. It was indeed too smooth for him to have the two leading figures of the Supreme Command hand over command power. It now appears that Gustav and Thyssen’s words were not alarmist. After thinking about this, Lin Wei sincerely thanked, "Father, Uncle Thiessen, and Uncle Koldoff, thank you for your help this time!"
"Don't thank me. If you really want to thank me, just give me a few more coal mines in the territory that the future empire will conquer!" Thiessen laughed and said, "As for Koudolf, it's easy to handle, listen. Do you think the Soviet Union’s iron ore reserves are very good?”
"Of course there is no problem!" Lin Wei showed a look that everyone understood. In fact, during the war, Lin Wei did not seek benefits for his family all the time. In Lin Wei's view, this is understandable. things. Besides, Lin Wei doesn't have any psychological pressure at all by dividing the wealth of other countries.
After dinner, it was time for the radio. Lin Wei knew that Goebbels would definitely tell Germany some good news, so he turned on the radio early. Sure enough, Goebbels' voice immediately came from the radio, "Since the end of July, , the Southern Army Group and the Southeast Army Group launched a heavy attack on the two Soviet fronts entrenched in Ukraine. The powerful offensive cut the Soviet front into pieces. Today, the entire campaign is nearing the end. Let us enjoy it now. It’s full of happy moments! According to the latest battle report, the Battle of Kiev is now basically over. All the Soviet Fifth, Twenty-first, Thirty-seventh, and Twenty-sixth Armies, as well as the Forty and Thirty-eighth Armies, are The troops were annihilated. Chief of Staff Tupikov and political commissar Burmishtenko of the Soviet Southwestern Front were killed in the breakout. Seven hundred thousand people, including Potapov, commander of the Soviet Fifth Army, were captured. One thousand tanks, Four thousand artillery pieces and four thousand vehicles were destroyed or captured by the imperial army! This is the greatest victory in the history of human war! This victory is unprecedented. One million Soviet Red Army troops were annihilated and captured. This is something that no country has ever achieved. Great victory!"
After a pause, Goebbels continued, "The good news brought today is far more than that. After the talks between General Krupp, commander of the Southeast Army Group, and General Kuznetsov, commander of the Soviet Union's encircled Northwestern Front, the Kuznetsov General Znetsov has decided to lay down his weapons, transform into the Russian Liberation Army, and fight against the Soviet Red Army! Earlier today, Congress had met and agreed to this move. All the heavy troops of Army Group North can be used to besiege Leningrad. Together with the Norwegian Army Group and our ally the Finnish Army, we make an optimistic estimate here that within a month Leningrad will become the territory of the empire, and its name will be changed to its original name of St. Petersburg, as the eastern part of the empire The city continues to show its glory! Now regardless of the northern, southern and central fronts, the imperial army has achieved great victories one after another! As my personal prediction, I think the war will end by the end of the year, and the empire’s territory will expand More than twice that time, all citizens of the empire will have their own manor in the newly created territory in the east of the empire. And we have fought for so many years for this purpose, so that Germany can gain enough living space. , just like the original Prime Minister Hitler said, use the German sword to obtain land for Germany!"
"Haha, is Goebbels really good at speaking?" Goebbels' words made Lin Wei's blood boil with excitement, let alone ordinary people.
"Lampard, when do you think the Soviet Union will surrender!" Gustav suddenly asked, obviously also wanting to know this question.
Lin Wei pondered for a moment with a look of embarrassment on his face and said, "Father, this question is difficult to answer. According to our current progress, as long as we can maintain the continuity of the offensive, the country will support the army at all costs! I think the Soviet Union is If you are stubborn, you will eventually fall at our feet. As for the time, maybe next year or maybe the year after tomorrow!" Throughout World War II, there were two countries that fought against Germany and resisted to the end, the United Kingdom and the Soviet Union. The Soviet Union's military power was obviously stronger than that of the United Kingdom. , but Churchill was more stubborn than Stalin and wanted to fight Germany to the end. Stalin also immediately launched a bloody war with Germany after his unsuccessful peace attempt at the beginning of the war. It is difficult to say when the war will end. The British government-in-exile has gone to Canada and no longer poses a threat to Germany. It was difficult for Lin Wei to estimate when the Soviet Union would run out of energy.
"But there is one thing I will do my best to do, and that is that Moscow must be in our hands this year!" Lin Wei clenched his fists and said, "Moscow will have two endings, either it will be controlled by us, or it will disappear from the earth. There is absolutely no third option! Even..." Lin Wei suddenly remembered the chemical weapons he had in Romania. If the Moscow battle did not go smoothly, he would have to risk the world's condemnation by using such inhumane weapons.
At this time, Goebbels began to talk about the third information Crawford gave him, "Now let's talk about the last thing. The imperial army found a large number of Polish officers in the Katyn Forest near Smolensk. Corpses, according to the investigation, these people were massacred in the spring, and all of them were shot through the back of the head! This is a typical killing method of the Soviet Internal Guard! Now read out the report obtained by the investigators: " Local railway workers and farmers said that from early March to late April last year, two to three carriages filled with arrested Polish officers were secretly transported to Gniezhdov Station every day, and they were transported by car to the barbed wire fence. area...". One of them also confirmed: "Many shouts and gunshots are heard every day. "The investigation team arrived in Katyn, which is only a few meters away from the road. In the open space in the forest between the graves, the corpses of Polish officers who were forensically examined were placed. Skalzhenski said that he carefully examined all the corpses , their wounds were without exception made with revolver bullets. The bullets entered the back of the head and came out from the forehead. Obviously, the wounds were of the same nature, the shots were fired in the same direction, and all the shots were fired with pistols. All of them were shot with pistols. The officers were all beaten to death standing at close range, and some of the corpses had their hands tied tightly behind their backs. This may indicate that they had engaged in self-defense and resistance. They were dressed in Polish military uniforms, wearing medals, decorations, and school-level titles. Insignia, trousers and shoes were all still intact. He also looked particularly carefully at the bodies of the two generals, who were confirmed to be Generals Smoravinsky and General Boharovich, from the insignia of their general rank strips. It can be seen above. From a large number of diaries of the dead, people found a record of Major Solsky, one of the victims of the massacre, before he was killed. The record was next to the body of Major Solsky. This record The time was June 9 last year. The recorder said: "At 3:30 in the morning that day, a small group of Polish officers were brought to Smolensk by the Soviet army from Kozelsk, a military camp in Belarus where they were being held. In the morning A few minutes before five o'clock, we were woken up and put into a prison van. We arrived at a small forest, which seemed to be some villas. There, in addition to our belts and penknives, they took away our rings and watches, which read six-thirty. What would they do to us? …. Approximately a few minutes later, Major Solsky was shot and killed. "
"Haha..." Listening to the news of the Katyn massacre, Lin Wei suddenly burst out laughing. In fact, Lin Wei had no feelings at all about the massacre of the Poles. Poland has always been unfriendly to Germany. This is known to everyone. After revealing this This thing was just to disgust the Soviet Union, recruit some cannon fodder to fight against the Soviet Union, and relieve Germany's manpower. It does not mean that Lin Wei sympathizes with the Poles, not to mention that the SS troops under Lin Wei have done many of the same things.
"Father, I think starting from tomorrow, all countries in the world will know what the Soviets have done!" Lin Wei said happily, "No one will stand on the side of the Soviet Union, and neither can Americans!"
