Chapter 1563 General Attack
On the evening of June 17, in the war room of the German Army General Staff, Emperor Qin Tian, Minister of War and Chief of the General Staff Marshal Manstein, Minister of the Air Force Albert Kesselring, and German Army Group A Commander Braun Field Marshal Mberg, Field Marshal Guderian, Commander of Army Group B, Field Marshal Rommel, Commander of Army Group C, Field Marshal Brauchitsch, Commander of Army Group D, and General Rundstedt, Commander of Army Group E, all gathered Here it is.
Two months have passed since the German army launched the Eastern Front operation this year. Although in the past two months, the German army has achieved fruitful results. And it has already approached the cities of Moscow and Josephgrad, and the Russian army has suffered heavy losses and suffered unspeakably. However, the overall goal of the German army is not just that, but to destroy Russia in one fell swoop. Therefore, the German army still has a long way to go.
The reason why these front-line commanders returned to Berlin from the front line was that both Qin Tian and Marshal Manstein believed that their plan to wipe out the Russian army's vital forces by attacking Moscow and Josephgrad would probably be impossible. Frustrated. It is precisely because of this that the German army needs to change its strategy.
"Everyone, we originally planned to carry out the city battle in Moscow and Josephgrad for about three months, and took this opportunity to consume all the vital strength of the Russian army in one fell swoop. However, our plan has only been implemented for one month, and the Russians We have discovered our combat intentions and don’t want to continue playing with us. Next, we have to think of other ways.” Marshal Manstein was a little helpless.
Originally, according to the plan, after the three-month battle to attack the city, it is estimated that even if not all of the Russian army's vital forces will be wiped out, there will not be much left. At least, all the elite troops of the Russian army will stay in Moscow and Josephgrad. In this case, it will be relatively easier for the German army to destroy Russia in the next battle. After all, there are no more troops, so what else can the Russians use to resist the German attack?
However, in just one month, the Russian army stopped sending reinforcements to Moscow and Josephgrad. There is no doubt that the plans of the German army fell through.
"Your Majesty, Your Excellency Marshal Manstein. If we can't take advantage of this battle to wipe out all the vital forces of the Russian army in one fell swoop, then I'm afraid we will have to waste more time on the Russian battlefield. Residual power also takes time," Marshal Guderian said.
Although after the early battles, the main force of the Russian army has been almost wiped out. However, there are still a lot of second-line troops remaining in the Russian army. Coupled with the vast land area of Russia, the entire Eastern European Plain alone is large enough. Not to mention that after crossing the Ural Mountains, there is a wider territory. If the Russian army is determined to continue to resist, then the German army will have to spend more time on the Russian battlefield.
If there is only one enemy like Russia, then of course it doesn't matter. Germany has enough strength and energy to consume them. However, Germany is now fighting on three fronts. In addition to the Russian battlefield, it is still fighting island countries in Southeast Asia. Still at war with the United States in the Atlantic. This makes it necessary for Germany to end one of the battlefields as soon as possible, thereby alleviating the enormous pressure facing Germany.
There is no doubt that Germany invested the vast majority of its troops on the Russian battlefield. Moreover, Russia is almost defeated. With a little more effort, it would be enough to defeat Russia. It is precisely because of this that the generals of the German army are eager to end the war against Russia as soon as possible and transfer their energy to other opponents.
Whether it is the United States or the island countries, they are now frantically expanding their military strength to deal with Germany's next attack. Therefore, the longer the time drags on, the stronger Germany's enemies will become. Therefore, it is also very beneficial to Germany to end the war against Russia as soon as possible.
"There is no way to do this. We have tried our best. But if the Russians are not fooled, then there is no way. We can't directly issue orders to the Russians to continue to reinforce Moscow and Josephgrad, right? Even if it is me Given such an order, Joseph will certainly not obediently obey!" Qin Tian said with a smile.
The other generals couldn't help laughing too.
"If we can't wipe out the vital forces of the Russian army in Moscow and Joseph, then after we conquer Moscow and Josephgrad, we will have to leave more troops on the Russian battlefield. Of course, the main force can still let the troops of the slave countries Come on. They fought very well on the battlefields of Moscow and Josephgrad, and they are completely capable of dealing with the second-line troops of the Russian army. Our main force can still withdraw to the country to rest and prepare for the attack on the United States. Marshal Romberg said.
Qin Tian nodded: "Yes, after a series of battles, the strength of the Russian army has been greatly weakened by us. Even if they continue to resist, the threat they can pose to us is very limited. The two remaining Three group armies, supplemented by troops from slave countries, are enough to deal with the war in Russia. Although it takes a little longer and consumes more supplies, it will not have much impact on the overall situation."
All the generals of the empire deeply agree. In their eyes, Russia now has lost its chance to turn the tables. It won't be long before it will die completely.
"Your Majesty, maybe after we take Moscow, the Russians won't be stubborn anymore. After all, according to the information we have now, Joseph is still stranded in Moscow. If we can arrest Joseph or kill him. Then, without the leadership of Joseph, the resistance spirit of the Russians would not be so tenacious." Marshal Rommel said.
"Yes, Your Majesty. Joseph has become an important factor in Russia's fight against us. If Joseph can be eliminated in one fell swoop, then the battle against Russia will be much easier." Marshal Manstein also said.
Qin Tian nodded. In another time and space, Joseph was one of the Big Three. They won the war and let the Führer kill himself in the basement. However, in this time and space, everything is different. Joseph would lose the war and take his own life.
"Since this is the case, then prepare to launch a general attack on Moscow and Josephgrad, eliminate the Russian troops entrenched here as soon as possible, and take these two cities!" Qin Tian made a decision.
