Eight Hundred and Twenty-Eight with 1 Goal
?
"If the SS is a subordinate of the army and unified under the command of the army, then these outstanding soldiers should not be sent to the front line to die in vain." A general glanced at Aka who was sitting at the top while speaking. Duo: "They need complete training and equipment that is truly adapted to the battlefield."
"The SS always has a way to encourage young people to join the army. Their methods of conscription are better than those of the Wehrmacht. To inspire people and let those who don't know anything and only want to dedicate their lives to the Führer join the army, this is what they are better than We are good at it." Another general lamented: "We don't bother to use topics like the Greater German Party and faith to incite those who are not of age."
The reason why the SS was able to quickly sort out the troops of 15 divisions from the remaining population after the Wehrmacht conscription was due to the incitement of the belief that all ages can be eaten, and they are unscrupulous, and they like to recruit 17-year-olds and 18-year-olds. The 12-year-old child plays the sidelines of the law, and also likes to recruit some middle-aged uncles who are over 35 years old. This allows them to expand their army faster than the picky Wehrmacht.
"I have personally read the reports of these troops, and have read them carefully with an attitude of neither discrimination nor denial." Brauchitsch hopes to make peace with this matter, so he pays more attention to his tone and embellishments when speaking: "These troops Many of them are not suitable for combat, they can be filled in the troops maintaining local law and order, and can also be used in relatively advanced concentration camps and other places, but they are the only ones that are not suitable for going to the front line."
He paused, stood up and said to Akado: "My head of state, these people joined the Waffen SS because of their loyalty to you. We don't need to let them die meaninglessly. The troops on the front line have not yet reached the point where they need to be replenished urgently, and their eager conscription will make the people panic.”
"I know all of this, but the front line does need two complete army groups. You and I have already discussed this at the last conscription meeting. We need troops to fill the ever-expanding defense line in the northern and central regions." Akado Looking at Brauchitsch who stood up, he said: "The land of the Soviet Union is really too vast, even bigger than we imagined."
After he finished speaking, he motioned for the slightly excited Brauchitsch to sit down, and then continued to speak: "My Marshal, the progress of the three newly formed armies of the Wehrmacht is really too slow. The candidates are all very good commanders, but they obviously lack the understanding of how to quickly build a group army."
After completing the reorganization of Army Group A a few months ago, the German Army began to form three other new Army Groups. Chenau's O Army, and the other is the P Army of General Bock, the former chief of the army's general staff.
These three armies will be put into the northern and central operations by the German army, and will be used as a follow-up effective force to launch operations against Moscow and other regions. Unfortunately, it seems that these armies may not be able to keep up with the decisive battle near Moscow and Leningrad. .
"Since the rate of conscription in the SS is faster than in the Wehrmacht,
There is indeed a shortage of troops on the front line, so why do people still force these young soldiers who are loyal to me and the empire to wear black military uniforms that are not suitable for the battlefield environment, and carry outdated weapons that no one wants to fight the most powerful enemy? What about combat? "Akado looked at the army general who had just raised his voice, and said coldly: "Are these SS soldiers the enemies of the empire? Are they dangerous elements that the Empire needs to take care of? "
Asked here, Akado's tone has become a bit vicious: "If not, then these soldiers who are willing to die for me and for this country, why should they be suspected and squeezed out? Then die on the battlefield where you shouldn't die?"
Without waiting for the generals to defend themselves, Akado quickly said: "Generals, are we already strong enough to entrap our own people? We are already sure to win? This kind of mutual rivalry, next time If it reappears, it will be punished as treason! This is what I said, is there any objection?"
"..." You have already said this, who dares to object? At this time, if you cough, you will probably be pulled out and hanged, right? All the generals stopped talking, lowered their heads and waited for Akado to continue talking about his thoughts. After all, the Führer is the Führer, and everyone here has sworn an oath in front of the national flag to pledge allegiance to this great man until the end of the world.
"I reiterate again! The SS is not a substitute for the Wehrmacht." Akado looked at the silent generals, and said loudly: "The Third Reich has, and only one, legal armed organization. It's the Wehrmacht. The SS is always just a subsidiary of the Wehrmacht, understand?"
After emphasizing, he looked at Brauchitsch: "My Marshal, find a way to let your cranky generals treat the SS armed forces equally, and use them to complete tasks and destroy the enemy. Build your own feats! Because everyone is German and the people of the Third Reich, everyone has a goal, and everyone is in the same boat!"
"There is no need for our own people to crowd out our own people!" Akado said: "I can legislate, I can sign orders, and after the war is over, when the Empire does not need the Armed SS, disband these troops, but don't let me hear it again. It happened that you squeezed out the SS, because they, like you, are soldiers who want to fight for the country, and they are my most loyal people!"
"Obey! My head of state! The Wehrmacht is willing to accept these soldiers and use them normally." Brauchitsch stood up again, and said at attention: "Except for a few divisions that I think are not suitable for the front line, the rest We will treat troops like Defense Force troops."
"Thank you very much, my Marshal." Akado nodded, then stood up, walked to the front of the map behind him, and looked at Marshal Rundstedt: "Since I have returned from the front line, I will discuss with the generals present here." Tell me, how is the battle on the central frontline?"
Hearing that the head of state wanted to hear the battle report from the central front, Rundstedt's face became serious: "My head of state, the situation in the middle of the eastern front seems to be very beneficial to us, but in fact, because the advancing speed of the southern front is too fast, Come on, it's not as optimistic as it looks."
He walked to the front of the map and explained in detail: "Since we captured Minsk, there has only been one large-scale battle with the Soviet army on the Orsha line. The Soviet army hastily fought and suffered a lot of losses. But we failed Capture Zhukov's main force, but because of entanglement with the Soviet second-line troops, a lot of ammunition and fuel were consumed."
The German army fought fiercely with the Soviet Red Army in the central part of the Eastern Front. The Orsha Heights became the focus of fierce fighting between the two sides. In order to compete for this place, the German army used the new heavy tank Tiger King to barely capture the Orsha Heights. And here, a Tiger King tank was attacked and destroyed by the Soviet tank group, which also created a precedent for the destruction of a new German tank.
"After we fought hard in Orsha, the Soviets seemed to have given up their plan to prevent us from advancing to Smolensk. They began to delay our attack with small troops, and then deployed about 100,000 people in Smolensk. After the troops defended the isolated city, the main force retreated to a place 70 kilometers west of Moscow." General Rundstedt pointed to the map and said.
After he analyzed the battle in detail, the situation of the two sides in the central region changed: "It seems that we have been singing all the way, capturing Minsk and encircling Smolensk. But in fact our defense line has advanced Hundreds of kilometers, and also stretched his supply line by hundreds of kilometers."
"These places need the army to maintain law and order. Starting from Minsk, most of the railways in the Soviet Union are somewhat different from our standards. There are problems in maintenance and use. The supplies on the front line are basically transported by cars and mules." Lund Pointing to the road and railway line between Minsk and Smolensk, Steiter said: "The infrastructure of the Soviet Union is really bad."
"The railway cannot be used at all, and the construction standards are too poor. This kind of thing will not be improved in a short time." A general in charge of coordinating the transportation department echoed: "The roads are even worse, except for the ones we helped the Soviet Union build in the early days. Several pilot projects, most of the roads marked by them are dirt roads at all, and it is almost impossible to find them when it snows."
"So in fact, after we captured Smolensk, the plan to attack Moscow could not be launched immediately. The supply lines of the Soviet Union became shorter and shorter, while our supply lines have more than doubled." Rundstedt said : "At least wait until spring and the supply of the troops has declined before launching an offensive."
Different from the road and railway construction in the southern region, during the honeymoon period between the Soviet Union and Germany, especially in the early days, the transportation from the Caucasus oil fields to Europe and Germany was a key project of cooperation between the two parties, so the roads and railways in the Caucasus region in the southern part of the Soviet Union were relatively complete. However, the construction of the railway line connecting Moscow and other places in the north has seriously lagged behind, which caused the German army to encounter many unexpected difficulties when advancing.
The railway lines marked on the map cannot be used at all, and the high-level roads marked on the map are actually just ordinary roads, and some of the ordinary roads on the map are even just a dirt road with potholes, and some don’t even have roads at all. It's a completely deserted jungle.
