Chapter 1075: Project Barbarossa

At the end of 1936, the "Barbarossa Plan" drawn up by the German General Staff under the leadership of Marshal Manstein, the Chief of General Staff, was formally submitted to Emperor Qin Tian.

Plan Barbarossa, the offensive plan against Bu Russia. This plan was requested by Qin Tian five years ago to the General Staff to start drafting. It's just that it has been revised many times according to changes in the international environment and changes in the military power of Germany and other countries. This time, it was finalized. Once it passes Qin Tian's review, when war breaks out with Bu Russia, the German army will implement this plan.

The Barbarossa plan in this time and space is fundamentally different from the Barbarossa plan in another time and space. Because, the strength of Germany in this time and space is stronger, while the strength of Bu Russia is much weaker. At the same time, Germany adopted the integration of Europe, almost pinching the power of the entire Europe into one rope. Under such circumstances, once the German army attacks Bu Russia, more forces will be invested. At that time, it will be very difficult for Bu Russia to resist the German attack.

Qin Tian's only worry was undoubtedly the bad weather and traffic in Bu'e. Although, most of Europe is very cold in winter. But Bue was even colder. In the cold winter, if there is no adequate preparation, there will inevitably be a large number of non-combat attrition due to frostbite. In that case, I am afraid that it will repeat the mistakes of Napoleon the Great and the head of state of another time and space. At the same time, the traffic situation in Bu Russia is still very bad. Although, with the assistance of Germany, the western part of Russia has built a complete transportation network. However, the traffic in the hinterland of Bue is still very bad. It's not that Russia doesn't have the funds to build a transportation network, it's that they don't want to do it. Not wanting to repair the railways and roads, the German army directly attacked the hinterland of Bu Russia along the railways and roads. Therefore, bad traffic has been regarded by Bu Russia as a powerful weapon against Germany.

The Barbarossa plan submitted by Marshal Manstein is mainly divided into five stages. In the first stage, the German army used its powerful army and air force to severely damage or even wipe out the main force deployed by Russia on the western border. Eliminate the main force of Bu Russia in one fell swoop, and prepare for the next second stage of operations.

In the first stage, the main troops will be the German army, and a small part of the army of the protectorate. Because, what we have to deal with this time is the main force of the Russian Army. Although after a major purge, the combat effectiveness of the Russian Army declined rapidly. However, those standing armies still have not weak combat effectiveness. If the German protectorate and other vassal armies face these Russian armies, it may be very difficult to win. Therefore, this hard bone must be gnawed down by the German army. With the strength of the German Army, it will be very easy to complete this stage. After all, whether it is the German Army or the Air Force, its combat power is much stronger than that of the Russian Army.

The second stage is the defense stage. Once defeated in the early stage of the war, Bu Russia will inevitably carry out national mobilization. At that time, Bu Russia's huge population advantage will be able to play out. They will mobilize very large armies. If the German army continues to attack, the bad weather and traffic will greatly restrict the German army, and even further increase the German casualties. At this stage, the Germans will be mainly on the defensive. At the same time, on the line of defense, deploy a large number of troops from the protectorate and servant countries, and let them fight with the Russian army for consumption.

When the main elite of the Russian army is almost lost, the combat effectiveness of the troops mobilized later will not be much stronger. With the strength of the army of Germany's protectorate and vassal state, even if it can't beat the Russian army in a frontal battle, it is still no problem to rely on fortifications for defense. In this case, the vital strength of the Russian army can be further consumed.

In the third stage, the German army continued to attack. The focus will be on winning big cities like Moscow. And further annihilate the effective forces of the Russian army, thus completely changing the balance of strength between the two sides. In this stage of the battle, the German army and the armies of the protectorate and slave states will all become the main force. Because at this time, even though the number of Russian troops is still huge, the combat effectiveness of the troops has been greatly reduced. It is estimated that many of the soldiers who have just been mobilized to join the army can't even fire their guns. Even, at this stage, Russia's heavy industry and military industry have been severely damaged by the strategic bombing of the Luftwaffe. Under such circumstances, it may be very difficult for the Russian army to even equip troops.

In the fourth stage, the army of Germany's protectorate and vassal state continued to attack the hinterland of Bu Russia. At this time, the combat effectiveness of the armies of the German protectorate and slave states was completely superior to that of the Russian army. To defeat Bu Russia, the problem should not be too big.

The fifth stage is the last stage. The German army assembled powerful troops and fought through the Ural Mountains and Ural River, completely destroying Bu Russia. In fact, if the Eastern European Plain is lost, Bu Russia will have lost its development potential, and the threat to Germany will not be too great. Under such circumstances, Germany's main goal can be placed on other enemy countries.

It took Qin Tian a full day to read the entire plan. It can be said that this plan understood his intention. In the German battle against Bu Russia, except for the first and third stages, which will be the main force, the remaining three stages are mainly auxiliary forces. The main force will be replaced by the armies of the protectorate and slave states of Germany. Although, their combat effectiveness is not strong. However, after the German army eliminated the main force of the Bu-Russian Army, they were still fully able to handle the Bu-Russian Army.

Besides, from beginning to end, the German Air Force will take to the air to fight as long as the weather conditions permit. Not only to seize the air supremacy of the battlefield, but also to provide air support for the German and Allied armies. Under such circumstances, it is impossible for the Russian army to counterattack.

After careful consideration, Qin Tian found that there were no omissions in the battle plan, so he signed his name on the battle plan.

This means that the Barbarossa plan has been finalized. Next, some changes may be made to the plan, but in general it will not change.

"I hope we can succeed in one fell swoop this time!" Qin Tian murmured after putting down his pen.
