Chapter 431 Hidden Knife

Therefore, Germany has made contributions to the entire human race. Regardless of whether this contribution is caused by altruistic consequences, history is history. What we need to do is face history correctly.

...

When Li Mo received the "Typhoon Plan" signed by Hitler himself, he shouted and scolded directly at his command post:

"The grandsons of the commander-in-chief, are you uneasy if you don't cheat me?..."

"My commander-in-chief, come and have a tea. Let's discuss how to implement the typhoon plan of the head of state."

"Oh, my deputy commander-in-chief, I know this plan was approved by the head of state, and I also agree to launch the Moscow battle now. However, the grandsons of the commander-in-chief made such a big plan and did not discuss it with us, so they transferred all our Southern Army Group to the direction of Moscow. What should we do if we occupy the south? What should Ukraine do? Can they block the Soviet counterattack? They can't stop it. In addition, what should we do if our 120,000 troops in Orsk? Once we turn around and head north, Mo No. `No. ```Sko, it is impossible to face Orsk within three months. Should we completely give up the more than 100,000 SS? We can't do anything."

"My commander-in-chief, I know that the head of state suddenly decided the plan of this typhoon battle, which is undoubtedly a very correct decision for the entire Barbarossa plan. The sooner we conquer Moscow, the more beneficial it is for us. The intersection of all Soviet railways is in Moscow. As long as we take Moscow, the European part of the Soviet Union will be basically paralyzed. So I think even if we sacrifice, we should implement the battle plan approved by the head of state."

Bok's suggestion is of course reasonable. The plan approved by Hitler must also be implemented, which is a few months earlier than the Battle of Moscow that was launched in history. It is unlikely that the Soviet Union wanted to save them in the early winter, because Li Mo launched the "Barbarossa Plan" in advance, and some major changes began to occur. The first is that the German army launched the typhoon plan several months in advance, which is of course a change that is beneficial to Germany. In addition, Britain, France and the United States also formed an alliance in advance and strongly supported the Soviet Union.

In fact, Li Mo's butterfly wings have a bigger hidden danger. That is, the United States now sends troops to Britain earlier than in history. The United States is the super ss of World War II. Once the United States and Britain jointly land in France, it is very close to Germany's Ruhr Industrial Zone and other cities. If Britain and France suddenly stabbed Germany, it would be really uncomfortable. It can be said that the British British-American-French coalition forces are just a sharp knife hidden under Germany's belly. I don't know when it will stab Germany.

"I know, my deputy commander-in-chief. I want to think about it alone, and you also think about what we should do. We will discuss it tomorrow morning."

As the capital of the Soviet Union, Moscow has a large population, huge material reserves, numerous factories, and well-connected railway system. Except for us who completely surround Moscow, it is impossible to completely cut off Moscow's supplies.

In addition, because of Finland's fence-mounting behavior, the connection between the northern Soviet ports and Moscow was not cut off. In this way, the aid from Britain, France and the United States would be continuously transported into Moscow. With weapons, Moscow could easily arm millions of militias and regular troops. The total strength of the regular army in Moscow is no less than three million. Only God knows how much it will be.

These are not the most important things. We fought face to face with the Soviet Union, which was visible and touchable. Behind Germany, there were a few sharp steel knives aimed at Germany's abdomen, ready to stab them at any time."

If I were the commander of the British and French coalition forces, I would definitely choose Germany to suddenly send troops to attack Germany when it was fighting under the city of Moscow, and at the same time, it sent a large number of planes to bomb Germany's industrial zones. Germany's war potential will be reduced by more than 50%. How could Germany be unbeaten in this case?"

Li Mo came to his study and brewed a cup of strong tea for himself. He began to think about how to solve the current crisis. Before cracking, Li Mo needed to recall why the typhoon plan in history failed. Although there is no strict winter condition, there is an additional knife of the British, American and French coalition forces. It is already May. It will take at least one month to replenish the lost and consumed weapons and ammunition of the commander-in-chief. It is already early July. This year, Moscow will be particularly cold in October. Can the German team win Moscow with British, French and American support within three months, as well as a large number of soldiers and a strong defense.

Li Mo is sure that Germany will never be able to take Moscow in three months. This is Stalin's ruling center. Stalin's ruling foundation is very strong, so powerful that every Moscow citizen will fight to the end for Stalin. Once the war drags into the severe winter, 80% of Germany's troops will fall into the ice and snow of the Soviet Union. What will Germany use to stop the attack of Britain, France and the United States?

Li Mo has not yet figured out a way to solve the crisis of two-sided battles that Germany is about to face. This is a major event that concerns Germany's life and death. Since Li Mo couldn't think of a solution, he began to carefully recall why the typhoon plan in history failed, and then came up with alternative solutions.

The Typhoon Battle was the first failure encountered by the German army during World War II, and it was also the first time since the German blitzkrieg was forced to stop the offensive since the implementation of the World War II blitzkrieg. Many military strategists, especially the former Soviet Union's World War II experts, attributed the victory to Stalin's wise commander, Zhukov's outstanding command talent and the bravery of the Soviet army, and always ridiculed the "German army stopped attacking because of weather."

Now, let's see how much the weather has affected the German army:

On June 30, 1941, in accordance with Hitler's instructions, under the code name of "Typhoon", 74 divisions, 1.48 million men, 1,700 tanks and attack artillery, 1,360 aircraft, and more than 14,000 cannons and mortars were concentrated, and attacked Moscow from the southern wing.

There are three fronts serving as the close-to-ground defense of Moscow: the Western Front, the commander is General Konev; the commander of the reserve front is Marshal Budoni; and the commander of the Bryansk Front is Lieutenant General Sriemko. As of early October, the combat troops of the three fronts had a total of about 1.25 million people, 0 tanks, 7,600 artillery and mortars, and 677 aircraft. There are also 25 workers' battalions, 120,000 militia divisions, 166 street fighting teams and hundreds of tank destroyers. About 450,000 people in the city participated in the construction of defensive fortifications.

In the first two weeks of the "Typhoon" battle, the Central Army Group eliminated nearly 700,000 Soviet troops. By contrast, the German army suffered minimal losses. The casualties ratio between the German army and the Soviet army was about 1:10, which means that the maximum casualties of more than 70,000 German troops were over.
