Chapter 948 Scherner's Objection
Blitzkrieg is based on a large amount of mechanized equipment.
Historically, although the German tank troops were very powerful and often unexpectedly ran hundreds of kilometers, most of the German army was motorized, and even walked into the Soviet Union with two feet.
Polarization is also very serious. In this way, when the tank troops charge, the infantry cannot keep up, which is a common situation.
Cialek wouldn't let this happen.
With the integration of European power, the German troops must undergo a major blood change. Tanks must be enough, and infantry that charges with tanks must also have mechanized action tools. Even ordinary infantry divisions must have enough trucks to become motorized infantry divisions, greatly improving the mobility of the troops, so that they can win in future wars.
The war will not start this year, and Germany needs to prepare for at least one year. By March next year, it will be the best opportunity to start!
It is not that easy to fight a national war. The training of the troops, the assembly of equipment, and the accumulation of logistics supplies all take time. In Cialek's plan, in March next year, everything is ready and the battle can be started.
Spel nodded: "There is no problem at all. We will prepare all kinds of supplies needed by the troops, including winter clothes."
Cialek was satisfied with his logistics minister and even thought about the problem of winter clothing. Even if the German army did not fight in winter, it would have to spend the winter in the Soviet Union.
Time, place, characters, and everything seemed to be explained clearly, and for Cialek, this was already done.
However, not everyone present was optimistic.
For example, Scherner.
As a backbone who had been in the beer hall when he was in the beer hall, Scherner has been rising continuously over the years, from an ordinary military commander to now, becoming a member of the highest decision-making core. Scherner's own vision is also expanding.
At the same time, because of his absolute loyalty to Cialek, Scherner can often say that he does not have too many concerns like others.
Although it was confirmed that Cialek was correct every time, Scherner was still doing his duties: "Head of Cialek, I think it is inappropriate to start a war next year."
Everyone present calmed down. Listening to Scherner's words, some people also had this kind of concern in their hearts, but they didn't dare to say it.
"Now, the conflict in Brest Fortress is intensifying. For the Soviets, the stimulus is too great. They have concentrated a large number of troops and thought victory is within their reach, but they still failed. This will make the Soviets realize their shortcomings." Scherner said: "The Soviets will continue to improve their tanks and continue to mobilize troops on the Western Front to guard against us. If we drag it until next year, it will definitely be a buffering opportunity for the Soviets."
After a pause, Scherner continued: "We can boldly speculate that in this year, the Soviet army might also expand to five million, and their tanks might also expand to twenty thousand. We are giving ourselves the chance to prepare, but we are also giving the Soviets a chance."
Scherner's concerns are absolutely reasonable.
The conflict in Brest Fortress gave the Soviets a practical lesson. The strength of the Soviet army was still far behind in Germany. The Soviets would not be willing to fail. This year will make the strength of the Soviet army stronger!
Historically, the Soviet Union was not worried about German offensives, because the Soviets judged that Germany would not start a war in the east or fight on both sides before resolving the British issue.
But now, Britain has been resolved, and the Soviet Union is already the biggest threat to Germany. The top leaders of the Soviet Union will definitely realize this problem and keep making their army stronger!
When it was discovered that Germany was recruiting troops, the Soviet Union would do the same, and even call more!
"So, I suggest that we can use the current Brest conflict as the fuse, launch a war directly, and use our existing army to destroy the Soviet Union!" Scherner said.
After Scherner finished speaking, his eyes still had hope of victory.
Everyone's eyes looked at Cialis. It was still in the discussion stage and anyone could ask questions. However, after Cialis made the decision, everyone would strictly execute Cialis's order, even if they thought the order was inappropriate, they would execute it!
"No, it is not appropriate to do it now." Cirick said: "Because we know that the Soviet Union's potential for war is beyond the reach of any country. It is much greater than that of Britain and France. We cannot do it rashly until we are fully prepared."
Shirek looked at Scherner and said, "Actually, we do this to stimulate the Soviet Union and ask the Soviets to recruit more troops and send their troops to the west."
"Why?" Scherner was puzzled.
"Because only in this way can we quickly eat them and eliminate the vitality of the Soviets, which is also a major purpose of our war." Cialek said: "The Soviet Union is different from other countries. Their beliefs are stronger. Even if they seize their capital, their resistance will be very strong."
"So, it is the most important thing for us to destroy as many of their troops as possible in the war!" Cirick said: "Instead of letting the Soviets organize new troops in the war, it is better to destroy the main force of the Soviet army now, in the early stages of the war! We rely on blitzkrieg to eat up the main force of the Soviet Union arranged on the Western Front in one fell swoop, whether it is one million, two million, three million, or five million, we must greatly damage the Soviet Union's vitality!"
This is also a main goal of Cialek. The power of blitzkrieg is quite great. In order to prevent Germany, the Soviets would place their main forces on the Western Front. Once these troops were eaten by Germany, the combat effectiveness of the reorganized second-line troops would be reduced by a step!
Now, let the Soviets recruit. The more troops the Soviets gather, the more they will be eaten by their own side!
Just like in history, in the early days of Operation Barbarossa, millions of Soviet troops were consumed, and they were all the most elite troops in the establishment!
"The first goal I just mentioned is to eliminate the vitality of the Soviets. The Soviets can organize at most 10 million troops, so we will eat up their 10 million troops and make no man in the Soviet Union!"
