Chapter 947: 20,000 Tanks 2)
Historically, Germany's Barbarossa operation ultimately failed. They were closest to Moscow, and it seemed that they could make it in as long as they worked hard.
However, they eventually failed. The battle against the Soviet Union caused Germany to decline from prosperity and eventually ushered in the doomsday of destruction.
This result made Cialek sigh. At the same time, since he had traveled through time, he had to avoid this situation.
When talking about this history, there will always be countless bricks and beasts who summarize: Germany's attack on the Soviet Union, which is far above its area, population, resources, etc., will inevitably be a failure.
This is purely nonsense. Look at every battle I have fought before, didn’t Germany win more with less? If these conditions are not met, Germany will inevitably fail, and then Germany will even fart.
There is no war in the world. If there is a dispute between the two countries, then hurry up and compare. My area is larger than you, the population is more than you, and the resources are more than you. You can't beat me. This can really make the world full of love.
Boxers don’t need to fight anymore, just compare who has more muscles.
War is definitely not the result of the historian's words, but the result of the final accumulation of countless factors. Later generations can point fingers like a prophet. Only those who are truly immersed in the scene are truly qualified to speak.
Germany's war against the Soviet Union was completely successful, and it was even more so in history!
Historically, Germany's failure and the continuous modification of combat goals were a big problem. First, it was to attack Moscow, and then it was to attack the Caucasus oil fields, which made the troops unable to concentrate.
Germany had no choice at that time because it had no oil, and now, this problem no longer exists.
Libya's oil is enough to consume Germany's war, not to mention that Rommel has occupied the Suez Canal and continues to march towards the Middle East. The vast oil fields there are enough to support all the wars in Germany.
Then, Germany’s strategic goal is to reach Moscow!
To destroy a country is to occupy their capital. When Moscow is occupied by Germany, the Soviets will perish! What is more important is the psychological blow to the Soviets. When the capital falls, they will accept this failure!
Moreover, another factor is that Germany has solved the problem of the Western Front, so there is no need to worry about fighting on the two fronts, and can fight the war on the Eastern Front with all its might.
"First of the People, I suggest we can attack in three ways." Keitel, who has been promoted to marshal, said: "The border between us and the Soviet Union is long, from north to south, divided into three armies."
Keitel walked to the front of the map on the wall and took the command pole to indicate the situation above: "The army in the north, starting from East Prussia, crossing the central and western regions of the Soviet Union, occupied or destroyed Leningrad, and this army can attack with the Finnish army."
"In the middle, starting from east Warsaw and attacking Moscow through Brest, Minsk and Smolensk, is the main force to realize our strategic intentions."
"In the south, we attacked Ukraine, a densely populated agricultural heartland, and conquered Kiev in the Lublin to the Danube estuary, then attacked Donbas, and then attacked the Russian prairie in the south to the Volga River and the oil-rich Caucasus region."
After several years of command and strategic considerations, Keitel has become quite thorough. Three armies attack together, divided into three groups, and are all the most important goals.
Leningrad hit the confidence of the Soviets. After all, it was a city named after their founding leader. When the south attacked Ukraine, it was the granary of the Soviets. After the capture, the Soviets lacked food and had no possibility of continuing the war of resistance.
The three armies complement each other and attack together, and can also respond to the flanks. This is a very perfect plan.
From an objective perspective, this plan does not have much problem. Although Cirick's goal is to attack Moscow, if a long dragon hits Moscow directly, the two wings will be quite dangerous and the Soviets may make dumplings at any time.
Cialek nodded: "This plan is feasible. In order to improve the mobility of our troops, each army in the middle and south roads needs about 10,000 tanks and about 50,000 armored vehicles."
On the battlefield throughout Europe, Germany has become a perfect match for blitzkrieg, and they have used it quite well. The Soviet Union has a vast territory and is still a stage for tank troops to perform.
Even so, Spel frowned after the request made by Cialek.
In the historical Barbarossa project, Germany only prepared more than 4,000 tanks in total, but now, Cialis requires a total of more than 20,000!
When Sperer came to power, he began to accelerate the German military industry, especially now, integrating the French and British military industries, and Germany's military production has reached a new level. Even so, so far, the number of tanks equipped in the German army has only been less than 10,000.
You know, in history, German tanks were mainly No. 3 and No. 4. Now, they are mainly No. 3, and even began to produce Tiger tanks.
These tanks are complex in technology and their output is not so easy to increase.
Especially, if workers need to be drawn from the production line, the running-in of new workers will take time. To produce another 10,000 tanks at once? How easy is it!
There are about 50,000 armored vehicles!
In the past, the main force of German equipment was the wheeled infantry fighting vehicle improved on Ford's ten-ton truck. This infantry fighting vehicle was simple to build and shared a production line with automobiles, which could produce equipment in large quantities.
However, it was not very suitable, especially on the muddy roads. When Rommel's troops headed to Dunkirk, he almost abandoned his wheeled infantry fighting vehicles due to the restrictions of the swamp.
In the Soviet Union, the road conditions were harsh. Once the rainy season came, it was a nightmare for wheeled infantry fighting vehicles. Therefore, the newly produced ones are almost all crawler infantry fighting vehicles, which is also time-consuming.
In this case, it is almost impossible to achieve the number mentioned by the head of state. Sperer is serious and responsible, and he does not want to show his incompetence in front of the head of state.
As if he knew what Spel was thinking, Cialek suddenly looked at Spel: "Spel, all the troops' equipment will be in place in February next year, is it okay?"
