Chapter 653 Military Advisor (Plus)

This is different from the Spanish Civil War. Germany and the Soviet Union only sent troops to fight in Spain. Now, on the border of the Soviet Union, the two sides will directly fight with each other, which will bring disastrous consequences.

Therefore, weapons and equipment can be provided, and they are almost all legal anyway.

Flying troops can also be provided, and these pilots come from various countries.

However, ground troops can only be provided when it is absolutely necessary, and when they are provided, they must be extremely secretive, under the banner of Finnish troops.

It seems that in order to uphold justice and justice, the Germans traveled thousands of miles to support Finland without any compensation. Of course, the truth is not that simple.

If Finland knew that this war was secretly provoked by Germany, it would not be so grateful.

The cause of this war is no longer known. Almost all the people who clashed first died, and both sides insisted on their own words. In the eyes of Finns, this was just a conspiracy of the Soviets.

What are the benefits to Germany of supporting Finland?

There are many advantages. As long as the Soviet Union is dragged in Finland, the Soviet Union has no ability to create friction on the Soviet-German border! At the same time, the Soviet-Finnish war broke out in high latitudes, and the war would go on for a long time until winter.

Germany lacks relevant training to fight in cold areas, and Finland now provides a good stage. Under cold conditions, how to maintain the aircraft, ensure the dispatch, how to protect the soldiers from the cold, and how to fight can all be experienced in Finland.

In this way, when we attack the Soviet Union in the future, we will not be caught blind!

As for the mountain division, that is the same consideration. After all, only the mountain division is still idle in Germany. At the same time, General Loeb is almost the founder of the German mountain division.

Looking at the other party's excitement, General Loeb continued: "The first batch of supplies will arrive soon. Now, let's discuss it. The first is the defense of the Karelian Isthmus."

Now, the Soviets are boasting that the Finnish problem will be solved in half a month. When the Soviet Union's supplies are in place, the attack will begin. At this time, a strong counterattack must be used to counteract the Soviet attack. beat back.

Hearing General Loeb's words, Marshal Mannerheim frowned.

Finland did not want to fall under the control of the Soviet Union, so it had to fight back. It can be said that they do not want to fight as long as it is possible. Who wants to fight a monster like the Soviet Union?

And now, Germany's support makes them very grateful, but if Germany wants to control the Finnish army in this way, it is definitely not what he wants to see.

Especially now, this German general doesn't treat him as an outsider. He has to talk about how to defend when he comes up. Is he trying to seize command?

If that's the case, it needs to be made clear in advance.

"We expect that this will be the focus of the Soviet army's offensive. At the same time, Finland has set up the Mannerheim line of defense here, but the line of defense is still not thick enough. I think that when we transport these weapons, we must immediately Strengthen the artillery fire here, especially the deployment of anti-tank guns, must be denser!"

General Loeb was gushing. As an expert in defensive positional warfare, he had long seen the inadequacy of the Finns' line of defense.

However, no one responded to him.

After talking for a long time, he realized that there was something wrong with the atmosphere. He raised his head and looked at Marshal Mannerheim, who was looking at him.

"These are all my personal opinions." General Loeb finally knew that he had made a mistake. When it comes to defensive warfare, he has many ideas and can't help but want to turn them all into reality, especially with Germany providing These weapons are enough to make the defense of the soldiers on the front line easier.

The German army is not only good at offensive operations, but also good at defense! As the best defensive master, General Loeb just said a lot. After all, this is not Berlin, he is just here to help.

Hearing what he said, Marshal Mannerheim's face softened: "General Loeb, your opinion is correct. I hope you can help us. In this way, can I appoint you as our military advisor?"

Simply, determine your identity now, and let this general who is good at defense be your military advisor.

This is just a consultant. The specific operations still have to be decided by Marshal Mannerheim. This must be clarified, but it cannot be waited for later, it will become under the command of Berlin, that will not be good.

If the Germans agree, it is the best. If they do not agree, then they cannot hand over their power. Because the sovereign is at war with the Soviets, and as a result the regime is controlled by Germany, what is the point?

President Kayander also nodded, indicating that the decision was a good one.

"Since this is the case, then I will accept it." Loeb did not object and agreed: "I hope that in the future, we can join hands and work together to win the Soviets."

Of course, Loeb didn't think about coming to seize the command of the other party. When he set off from Berlin, Cyric gave him the advice to help, not to seize power.

"Okay, let's discuss it in detail now. You said just now that the anti-tank guns should be placed in the front?" Marshal Mannerheim changed his attitude when he saw that the opponent accepted it. Now, it is true that he has planned how to defend. The key point is that the intelligence on the front line shows that the situation is not optimistic. It is possible that the Soviets will launch an attack in the next two days.

The battle in the north is about to start. Now, the two sides are like firewood that has been dried in the winter. As long as a small spark can be ignited.

And in the south, in the Mediterranean, a fire has already been ignited.

The British fleet was almost wiped out, but the French fleet was not much better, especially their flagship Dunkirk, the engine room at the rear was abolished, at least on the slipway, tossing for half a year to survive come over.

Let General Sur stand on the bridge. He has been transferred from Dunkirk to Strasbourg. A collision during the day has caused some damage to its hull, but it can still sail.

Looking at the sunset, General Sur's eyes were full of anger. The betrayal of the United Kingdom to France made the French Navy unforgettable. Today's battle will never be forgotten!

"General, General Darlan has sent us a new order." A voice came from behind, and a telegram was handed over.

The order, the Mediterranean Fleet, set sail at night, raided the British base in Gibraltar, and smashed all the shells it carried on the heads of the British!

When he saw this order, General Suer's eyes immediately straightened, thinking about the feeling of being beaten up by the British blocking the door, and General Suer felt that this breath would never come out, and now, finally There is a chance!

"Pass this order to the entire fleet, and we want the British to know the fate of the sneak attack on us!" General Jean Sur said.
