My Third Empire

Seven Hundred and Eighty One Burning

Yes, this is the plot that Akado thought of, using another time and space after the victory of the Soviet Union in 1945, and the idea of ​​bringing up 200 German military flags during the military parade. The idea was born in 1815, when the Russian army defeated Napoleon's invasion and threw the invaders' flag at the Czar's feet.

In another time and space, the Soviet Red Army carried 200 German flags upside down and finally threw them in front of Lenin's tomb. The flags inside came from various famous German army groups, which was really shocking to the extreme. Among them, the most important one is the flag of Adolf Hitler's guard flag team. Akado also has his own guard flag team, but the flag of this guard of honor is flying next to the flag of the head of state.

The Third Reich doesn't have any memorable cemeteries. After all, the founder of the empire, Akado, is still sitting on the viewing stand, enjoying the cheers and applause of countless people. So in the end these Soviet army flags were thrown into the flames and burned by the raging fire.

"General Manstein, our starting point is already close to the expected victory line. What do you think is the chance of winning if we launch an assault now?" Acador watched the German infantry phalanx walk through the long street majesticly. While asking Manstein beside him.

Manstein considered it carefully, and then replied with some hesitation: "My head of state, I suggest that the implementation of the second phase of the New Barbarossa plan be postponed. Once the large-scale assault begins, the pressure on the tank troops will be reduced." , will surge, but at that time there is no turning back, and the risk is too great for us.”

Akado sighed, and said with some helplessness: "My general, the Soviet Union is also growing stronger with the help of the United States. We have defended and counterattacked twice. If we don't carry out an offensive operation, how can we attack domestic forces?" Do you have an explanation for the people? You must know that the defensive side has always suffered a disadvantage, and the price of our defense is not small."

Of course, Manstein knew why Akado was anxious. Germany had one foot on the threshold of victory. At this time, as long as they didn't make mistakes, they could maintain their advantage. But the more it came to this kind of time, the more An Nai couldn't help feeling anxious. This is a human psychological problem. It is very sensible for Akado to still listen and listen at this time.

Thinking of this, Manstein slowly replied: "The armored force will be continuously consumed during the long-distance advance, and even the Soviets can consume our elite armored forces as long as they use booby traps and some ambushes. At this time Launching an offensive, even if Moscow is surrounded, our army's armored forces will lose at least half of it."

The terrible strategic depth of the Soviet Union is their best line of defense. Even if there is no constant interference and sniping from the defenders on this road, countless tracks will be scrapped, and thousands of engines and transmissions will be scrapped. This horrific distance could keep the Germans running one on the other, and their sharpest attacks would turn into desperate marches.

"What do you mean? It's going to consume the vitality of the Soviet army again,

Continue to attack in the direction of Moscow? "Akado frowned and thought for a while, and finally asked such a question unwillingly.

In fact, before he came to participate in this grand victory parade, the Army General Staff gave an answer similar to that of Manstein. The mistake of underestimating the Soviet Union's combat readiness.

Before attacking the Soviet Union, the Supreme Command expected that the Soviet Union would have only a small number of troops worthy of attention, and would not mobilize more than 5 million men. Such an optimistic estimate made the generals of the General Staff think that defeating the Soviet Union was an easy task. Even based on the assessment of the strength of the army a few months ago, the defeat of the Soviet Union did not even require domestic mobilization.

However, it turns out that the assessment made by the Supreme Command, where the head of state Akado personally sits, is more accurate. Combining the information obtained by the army intelligence department and the SS intelligence department, the German army has mastered the heinously accurate mobilization of the Soviet army. Capability Assessment. How detailed is this assessment report? Even the number of troops that the Soviet Union can mobilize is accurate to the unit of a thousand.

With this detailed strength assessment, Akado had already made the worst preparations for annihilating 15 million to 18 million Soviet soldiers before the war broke out. However, when Ukraine changed hands after the war, this assessment adjusted the mobilization ability of the Soviet Union downward. Now the mobilization ability of the Soviet Union has almost 10 million people left.

But even though the German army has won so many battles, it still does not have the ability to swallow the Soviet Union in one bite. According to the conservative estimate of the Supreme Command, 2 million to 4 million Soviet troops still need to be annihilated before it is possible to win with full confidence in the war of attacking Moscow and destroying the Soviet Union.

It is a pity that it is no longer realistic to expect the Soviet Union to launch another hasty attack and ruin such a large number of troops. The Soviet front-line combat forces have passed the cruel test of war, and their tactical quality has been terribly improved. Yes, a large number of terrifying and powerful characters have been born among the Soviet front-line commanders. These people are not like idiots who will suddenly become stupid or hot-headed, but geniuses who can stand shoulder to shoulder with the German front-line generals.

"I think, Führer, since the plan has been determined, don't change it easily. This way, on the one hand, we don't have to rush around, and on the other hand, we have traces to follow when we do anything." Manstein looked at each other. The Soviet military flag, which was thrown into the fire and burned, answered slowly.

Akado smiled, and smiled with relief: "I am too entangled. But if Marshal Rommel is sitting next to me today, he must have told me to launch an attack as soon as possible and tear apart the enemy's defenses. Go to the furthest place."

"My head of state, I am indeed not as creative as Marshal Rommel in terms of organizing an attack, or doing my best to organize an attack. I am more suitable for regular combat and orderly efforts to win." Manstair Yin said to Akado with a smile.

Akado nodded: "I only have one Rommel, one Manstein, one Guderian, one Liszt, one Weicks, one Keitel... that's good, I think I You'll understand what I mean, right?"

Everyone is different, and everyone is unique. Rommel achieved success in fighting in the vast desert, and Manstein does not have to regret it, because there is an equally vast Caucasus region, waiting for him to gallop freely. , This is what Akado meant, of course Manstein understood.

"Soon, the entire Donetsk will fall into our hands, Kharkov will also be occupied, and Stalingrad... Stalingrad... Are you sure you can completely pull out this nail in the Caucasus? "Akado remembered the scene in the movie he had seen, where Khrushchev was yelling at his subordinates. He still remembers that line: "This is not Kursk, not Minsk, not Kiev... ...This is Stalingrad, it is Stalin-Grad! It is named after the leader, it is a symbol."

"This city is actually just an important town in the Soviet Union, but its name endows it with infinite political significance. As long as this city is captured, the blow to Stalin's personal prestige in the Soviet Union will undoubtedly be huge." Manstein After thinking about it, he replied: "However, instead of rushing to capture there, it is better to use it as a bait to wipe out the Soviet Union's vital forces. This is more in our interest."

Akado nodded and agreed with Manstein's words. He knew that once the second phase of the New Barbarossa plan was implemented, the entire world war would be different. Finland and Turkey would attack the Soviet Union from the north and the south, and the German army would fire all the way to Moscow. And at that time, it was a situation where Germany had played all its cards. Whether it was a win or a loss, it could only passively watch the opponent's reaction.

The war against the Caucasus was not a personal duel, not a personal grievance between Akado and Stalin. He is not Hitler, and he will not be obsessed with destroying the city called Stalingrad. He is even unwilling to face the city that seems to never fall, because the street fighting there really hurt the elite of the German army.

Therefore, Akado is very much in favor of Manstein's idea. Encircling and attacking aid, or even encircling and not attacking, are good ways to deal with this city. If necessary, he even thinks that he can bypass this place and come back later. Find a way to capture.

Looking at the burning flames in front of the viewing stand, there are various military flags of the hundreds of thousands of Crimean troops inside. At this time, there are hundreds of thousands of people in the Donetsk area waiting to be surrounded by the German army. The southern victory of the entire Eastern Front One after another, it is really gratifying. In the northern region, Rundstedt is already on the front line, and his elites are putting pressure on the Soviet army day and night. Minsk will change hands sooner or later, and everything is being implemented step by step according to the German script.

The fire was burning, and the military flag was reduced to ashes in the flames. Akado didn't know how many Soviet military flags had to be burned before he could come to the negotiating table with Stalin. However, he is more eager than ever for that day to come. After all, this war has lasted long enough, and he has lost enough things.

"You're right!" Akado looked at Manstein: "Bring Stalin back to the negotiating table! This is an order!"

Manstein smiled, so naturally: "Obey, my head of state! I will bring victory to you!"
