At night, after pushing the shot prisoners of war into the Moscow Canal, without even destroying the bodies and removing traces, Crawford returned to Lin Wei's temporary headquarters with the news that the mission was completed, sitting in his own room with a golden sword. From his position, Lin Wei looked at the photos taken during the whole process with his usual indifference, as if it was his strict order, not only to kill people, but also to kill people openly.
Bang... Lin Wei threw a thick stack of photos on the table. It seemed that instead of 3,000 people, 3,000 pigs died on them. After more than ten years of training, Lin Wei is now no different from Heydrich. Lin Wei is even more cruel and ruthless than Heydrich. "Send the photos and information to the Imperial Propaganda Department and tell Goebbels, the SS did it! Let them wipe my ass!" Lin Wei didn't consider whether this kind of thing was difficult to handle. Anyway, Goebbels was able to talk the dead into life. Almost all National Socialists all know.
"Leader, we have promised not to kill prisoners, and it is unknown whether this incident will make the Red Army more difficult to deal with. Even the officers and soldiers of General Kuznetsov's former Northwest Front will have opinions on us! "Crawford is obviously opposed to making this kind of thing public. As long as Germany does not admit what happened today, it doesn't matter even if tens of millions of people say that the SS did carry out a massacre today. As long as Germany flatly denies the existence of this matter, at most there will be one more unsolved case in history. Germany can be said to be a rumor. No matter how true the rumor is, as long as the people in power want to delete it, such rumors can be suppressed. But if Germany admits this matter, it will be completely difficult to handle. In modern society, carrying out such a massacre, even if it is completely justified, will not gain people's support. Moreover, the SS could not find any reason to stand still.
"You're right, Crawford, but we've already done it! Otherwise, you can go and recover the souls of those prisoners of war!" Lin Wei seemed to suddenly realize that he was right and said, completely ignoring Crawford's eyes. "Do as I say, I will arouse Stalin's hatred. Of course, it is not enough now. If the time comes, I will let Stalin know that I am in Moscow!" Lin Wei concluded like a prayer. road. War is definitely a double-edged sword. Since Lin Wei was born in Germany, it is natural that he must take the interests of Germany as his starting point. It is inevitable to hurt people from other countries. It is better than letting others hurt our own people after defeat. .
This incident will definitely cause huge waves in the world in the next few days, and the German Propaganda Department may have to go to war against the whole world. Lin Wei felt very funny when he thought of Goebbels' livid face. But here, in Moscow, in Lin Wei's heart, this matter only bothered him for a few minutes. Compared with the Kremlin that now stands in front of the Fifth SS Armored Group, the massacre of prisoners of war is only a small problem in Lin Wei's mind.
The number of Soviet troops in the Kremlin's absolute defense circle was only one-fifteenth of the strength of the Soviet Red Army in the Battle of Moscow, but the scope of defense was only three Soviet front armies, which defended one percent of Moscow's outer front (previous estimates Error, not one in a thousand!), it is conceivable that the difficulty of the SS attack will be several times that of Army Group Center. In addition to the advantages of the SS equipment, Lin Wei still feels at a loss, and he is unsatisfied with this hardness. More at a loss than a steel turtle shell.
Is it going to be a war of attrition? War of attrition is definitely the most hated combat mode of the German army. In the first battle, it was unable to improve its mobility, which ultimately led to Germany's final defeat. Although Lin Wei is facing a much better situation now, this mode still leaves Lin Wei with lingering fears. If the SS were not now surrounded by the three Soviet front armies, perhaps Lin Wei would consider using this most realistic combat mode to win. But it’s not possible now. If you don’t do it well, you may even have to pay for it.
"Is it difficult to handle? This kind of defensive tactics is the most abominable!" Lin Wei suddenly thought of the difficulties the Mongol Empire had encountered. During the Mongol Empire's battles across the Eurasian continent, except for one in West Asia and one in the Czech Republic Apart from being defeated head-on, the longest delay was the encounter with the Song Empire, which seemed weak at the time. The Song Dynasty was definitely not the most powerful enemy among the enemies the Mongol Empire encountered. At least in the early stages of the Mongol Empire, there were two other countries that could engage in a tug-of-war with the Mongol Empire, and that was the Jin Dynasty and Khwarezm. The country was also dominated by cavalry, and at that time the number of troops was also in a dominant position over the Mongolian Empire. But they eventually fell at the feet of the Mongol Empire.
In Lin Wei's view, the Soviet Union before the war, especially Stalin, was very similar to the Jin Dynasty and Khwarezm at that time. It has to be said that Germany was indeed in a weak position compared to the military strength of the Soviet Red Army. Even in terms of the number of tanks, the Soviet Union had an absolute advantage over Germany. If armored forces and cavalry are related by inheritance, then the Soviet Union's situation is indeed very similar to those two empires, but after the war started, it was far from Germany's opponent. Now, when Germany is only one step away from final victory, it encounters the same predicament as the Mongol Empire.
As we all know, when the Mongol Empire went south to attack the Song Dynasty, the Song army was helpless in the face of the fortified city and refused to defend it. In fact, this was nothing. Under normal circumstances, you can fully exploit your strengths and avoid weaknesses and annihilate the enemy in the wild. The German army did the same before the Battle of Moscow. But just like the Mongolian army had to capture Xiangfan before it could move south, Germany also had to capture Moscow before it could continue its progress. Just like the Mongols were not afraid of using cavalry against the Jurchens, Germany was not afraid of using armored troops to fight the Soviet Union. The battle that Germany is most difficult to fight and least willing to fight is the battle for cities.
"How can we pry open this turtle shell?" Lin Wei fell into deep thought. Just like it is impossible to break an egg with his hands, it is absolutely impossible to make progress by attacking regardless of priority. Gripping an egg requires finger strength, and now the SS's offensive force also needs a few arrows to lead, rather than a straight line of push.
"Incendiary bombs, poison gas bombs? If we can't do that, we can only count on these things. Let's start with incendiary bombs and napalm bombs!" After making up his mind, Lin Wei ordered, "Send a report to Deputy Leader Heydrich, in Smo From the warehouse in Lensk, napalm bombs capable of burning down five blocks were taken out, and poison gas bombs from Farben Chemicals were taken out and kept on standby. At the same time, Air Marshal Göring was given electricity to let Admiral Kesselring direct the bombing! Bombing! The location is set in the northwest corner because it is far away from the Moskva River and the Red Army soldiers have no time to put out the fire!"
"Understood! Leader!"
An hour has passed since the massacre in Berlin, Germany, but the incident spread around the world at a speed comparable to the speed of light. On behalf of the Soviet government, Molotov condemned the SS massacre of prisoners of war. As for whether he will use this incident to educate Red Army troops, asking them not to surrender is unknown. As Germany's Propaganda Minister Goebbels, he dealt with five waves of reporters in one hour, including reporters from Germany, Western European countries, and Americans who still declared war on Germany. Goebbels was very anxious. .
Goebbels said on the surface that the matter would have to wait for the investigation team to collect evidence, maybe two days, but secretly he cursed Lin Wei fiercely, saying that Lin Wei had brought a big trouble, but Lin Wei didn't care at all, he himself didn't care Being surrounded by the Soviet Red Army, naturally they didn't care what Goebbels thought.
Just like what Lin Wei said, Goebbels must hone his eloquence because he will soon start a war with the media around the world. Goebbels wanted to find his friends to discuss countermeasures, but at this time both Hess and Göring disappeared. The angry Goebbels secretly cursed his lack of loyalty. He had no choice but to go to William III.
At ten o'clock in the evening, most people had gone to bed, but Goebbels still had no rest. Goebbels, who had just returned to the Propaganda Department, entertained his eighth batch of journalist guests.
"Mr. Goebbels, is the prisoner killing incident that happened today true?" As soon as he sat down, Goebbels heard the question he had heard countless times today.
"Wait a minute, I have something to announce!" Goebbels silenced the reporters, and then read out, "In the current war, the German people are facing a life-and-death struggle, and the emperor must have what he believes All powers necessary to promote or win victory. To this end, His Majesty, as Head of State, Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces, Head of Government and Supreme Executive, Supreme Judge and Leader of the Party, may - without being bound by the provisions of existing laws - when necessary Under the circumstances, use all means to force any German to perform his duties, whether he is an ordinary soldier or an officer, a junior civil servant, a senior civil servant or a judge, a leading party cadre or a junior cadre, a worker or a factory owner. If If someone violates his or her duties, His Majesty, after careful investigation, has the right to give him or her the punishment he deserves without following the prescribed procedures, and to revoke his or her position, rank and status, without taking into account the rights that he or she should fully enjoy."
Goebbels did not give an answer to the prisoner-killing incident, but Goebbels’s words were no less important than the prisoner-killing incident. From Goebbels’s words, everyone knew that the National Socialist Party and the German Emperor were now Have become one since Hit? After strangulation, the current German Kaiser became the leader of the National Socialist Party, at least in spirit. In an instant, Goebbels changed the topic from the killing of prisoners to the newly emerged political system. The reporters also forgot about the questions they wanted to ask, but instead asked about the responsibilities of the German Emperor and the National Socialist Party in today's Germany.
