1133 Orders to Counterattack
readx(); Recently, Akado is busy with some export contracts in Israel. The Jews were well-funded but poor near Jerusalem, so they preferred to move German machinery and a lot to their new home. Some of these things can be exported, and are encouraged by Akado, but there are also some that are also in short supply in the Third Reich, which must be carefully screened one by one.
The relationship between countries is far from as simple as ordinary people think, at least it cannot be summarized by the simple definition of enemy or friend. It stands to reason that Japan and the United States should be sworn enemies, but they are still superficially strong allies in the 21st century.
Israel has maintained a neutral relationship with Germany since the establishment of the country. With the help of the special relationship with the United States and Germany, the speed of development here has even surpassed many people's imagination. Bowerman is becoming more and more passive in the United States, while old Mr. Enrique is like a fish in water in the Middle East. Taking advantage of Germany's suppression of Saudi Arabia, he has fully demonstrated the shrewdness of a generation of sophisticated Jews.
"My head of state, the death list for the last month has been calculated. We have a total of 19,000 people who were killed or missing in the war on the Eastern Front. The specific list has been sent to the condolence committee." Syndra is still Still so shrewd and capable, her mind is full of all kinds of things, but there is no mistake in the slightest. Akado is very satisfied with this work secretary, which makes his work more organized and efficient.
Countless people die in wars every day, civilians as well as soldiers. Some people can still leave a cemetery and a name in this war-torn era, and more people can't even leave their names. Stretching from Germany all the way to Ukraine, then to Smolensk, and then to Moscow, there are cemeteries connected to each other on the roadside of every road. Some wooden crosses still have steel helmets on them. German steel helmets and Soviet ones There are helmets.
Akado put down the document in his hand, and then took over the roster of statistics. The names next to each other seemed a bit dazzling on the white paper. They were all once fresh lives, but now there is only one left. Broken nameplate.
"Let the people in the condolence committee carefully write each condolence letter, and then remember to remind me that I will talk to Reinhardt during the meeting, and we must ensure that every penny of condolence money is distributed to These families who have lost their loved ones." After a pause, Akado gave Sindra another order: "Let Minister Fanny do a special radio and TV program, at least remember these warriors who sacrificed for the country .”
"Yes! My head of state! I understand!" Syndra nodded, then stood at attention and replied: "I will remind you. In addition, the new ambassador from Turkey has arrived in Berlin. Minister Ribbentrop gave He held a welcome party, which the Krupp vice-chairman hosted on behalf of the Greater German Party."
There is a purpose for Krupp to meet the Turkish ambassador. Many industrial products in Germany have begun to be in surplus, and some machinery is in urgent need of export. After the occupation of Ukraine, a large amount of agricultural products also began to flow into Germany,
For a while, the problem of material shortage seemed to be a thing of the past, so many merchants began to resell the goods in order to seek greater profits.
When Germany maintained the wartime material rationing system, many German workers and businessmen had money in their hands, but they couldn't buy what they wanted. Needless to say, high-end products such as watches and TVs, even bread and candy are priceless. But now these things are very abundant, as long as you spend money, you can buy them in street shops.
Therefore, on behalf of a large number of businessmen in Germany, Krupp formally contacted the Turkish ambassador, hoping to open up the Turkish market and dump a large amount of surplus waste into the barren land of Turkey. Including outdated machinery, socks, clothes and assorted pots and pans and even weapons, ammunition and gas masks.
After counterattacks and invasions by the United States and the United Kingdom, the territory of Turkey has withered. Because the essence of weakness was fully exposed in the Axis alliance, and the Middle East and the Caucasus were successively occupied by German troops, Turkey's remaining bargaining chips are already pitiful. The geographical location that was originally advantageous has become less important now, and the strategic task of containing the United Kingdom, the United States and the Soviet Union has also disappeared-now Turkey, the remaining role is only similar to the location of dumping goods.
Therefore, under the coercion and lure of Germany, the former Turkish ambassador finally signed a "Treaty on the Unification of Axis Weapons Standards", promising to purchase all military products from Germany to ensure that the combat effectiveness of the Turkish army can be improved. This treaty also stipulates that Turkey's priority to equip an army with German equipment will enter the Caucasus as an expeditionary force, as a force under Manstein's command, to sweep up the Soviet guerrillas in the Caucasus.
This is undoubtedly a new huge cake, waiting for the hungry German fire merchants to carve up. Germany transferred a variety of rifles to Turkey, and charged twice the production cost to continue to produce more advanced weapons such as G43 and MP-44 for the Wehrmacht. 100 outdated No. 3 second-hand tanks should have allowed the Germans to sell 130 King Tiger tanks, which has to be said to be a miracle.
What is even more exaggerated is the fighter jet project. The Turkish side decided to purchase a more advanced F-190D fighter jet. As a result, the Germans made a big deal. The Germans demanded a total of 70 million Imperial Gold Marks for 50 F-190D fighter jets, which made Fokker Wolff a lot of money.
Of course, these are all stories that happened a few days later, and Akado still doesn't know how crazy these merchants in the Third Reich are. After he heard that Krupp was going to organize the party, he nodded, then picked up another document on the desk, and began to approve it wholeheartedly.
As a top student who was able to assist in teaching at a first-class university before crossing, Akado deeply understands the meaning of a person who travels half a century. He knows that there have been countless failures in history, because they fell short at the last minute. So now he is constantly urging the various departments under him to ensure all aspects of things as much as possible, and to fight the Moscow battle well.
...
Field Marshal Rundstedt was the first German general to attack London, the capital of England, and also the first general of the Army to be promoted to field marshal except for the veteran Brauchitsch. The Group A Army he commanded was also one of the best in Germany, and its combat effectiveness should not be underestimated.
Now the tanks of the vanguard of Army Group A under his command have surrounded Moscow in the north, and began to advance from the suburbs to the city center. An armored detachment stormed southeast along the Leningrad Highway. It was not the Soviet defenders but the Moscow Canal that prevented them from advancing.
Several German tanks opened fire on the west bank of the Moscow Canal, heavily shelling city buildings across the canal. The Soviet defenders inside fought back fiercely, and the fighting lasted all day before gradually subsiding.
By blowing up several nearby bridges, the Moskva River completely divided some of the Soviet defenders in the west. Their weapons and ammunition were supplied by transport ships on the river, and the wounded were also transported back to the east bank by these transport ships. However, these troops were destined to be unable to retreat. They were blocked by the river on the west side of Moscow's core defense line, holding on to a commanding height called the Trinity Cathedral.
The Tushino area was first occupied by the German vanguard, and the Soviet defenders here finally chose to give up resistance. Because they had no weapons to stop the German tanks from advancing, their ammunition was exhausted and they could not be replenished in time, and they had to endure almost non-stop German artillery fire every day. Their surrender completely shattered the Soviet defense line west of the Moscow River. After more than ten days of contention, the Soviet army voluntarily gave up most of the defense line in the northwest of Moscow.
Near the Voskliakovo cemetery, a panzergrenadier regiment of the German F Group Army and the Soviet army fought fiercely. Many tombstones were used as bunkers and were cut in half by flying bullets. The Soviet army was eventually forced to retreat due to lack of ammunition. After the German army occupied the cemetery, they had to erect a full 300 new tombstones nearby.
The German army had to pay a high price for every step forward. The F and A armies flanked the Soviet army from left to right, but they could not respond to each other because of the terrain. They were basically on their own, fighting from early morning until late at night for a house or a street. The ruins, barricades, and dense buildings have become a sniper's paradise. Every day, the gunfire continues one after another. If you are not careful, your head will be smashed by bullets flying from nowhere.
Compared with the attacking German army, the Soviet side was more desperately persistent. They found that the German army of Group E under the command of Liszt began to appear in the rear of their flanks, but they were unable to deploy more troops to deal with the continuously lengthened defense lines.
Zhukov fought frequently with Guderian in the south, and neither side had any intention of making concessions. Although the Soviet defenders suffered a lot, they still held on to their main defensive positions and did not take a half step back. But Zhukov himself knew very well that the reason why Guderian did not rush to break through his defense line was entirely because of casualties, not because of how strong Zhukov's defense line was.
In this pitiful situation, a combat staff officer walked into Zhukov's headquarters and read out Stalin's latest order: "Comrade Stalin hopes that your troops can make a limited counterattack to the southwest and repel Kluge's troops. , to strive for greater strategic space for Moscow.”
