In his report, he reported that the 30 thousand elite infantry forged by Stalingrad was worth less even if it lost 30 thousand people. He felt that it was very worthwhile to play an elite N regiment in three months to help the Germans stabilize the forefront of the southern theater
"It’s no use complaining about the loss," arcado said to Marshal Blauchich, who is highly regarded by the army. "You carefully study the report of a general kuechler’s frontline war. If there is no problem, I will let him continue to attack according to this plan."
"There is nothing wrong with the plan. kuechler is the front-line commander of the general’s office that I and many senior army officers are optimistic about. It is suspected that there are no loopholes in his battle plan." Blauchich confidently answered arcado’s question directly. "I am worried that the loss will make the front-line soldiers panic and increase the country’s war-weariness."
"It’s better to end Stalingrad’s long-term pain than short-term pain before it’s too late." arcado said with a sigh that if he had a choice, he wouldn’t want to attack the most inefficient city head-on, but the situation is that everything can’t be up to him.
Chapter 72 73 Than Allies
Brauchic also admitted that it is very reasonable for Akkado to say that long-term pain is better than short-term pain. The German army emphasizes quick decision, even if the losses are large, but the battle can be ended as soon as possible, then the German army will pay a much smaller price.
For arcado, Stalingrad is not the only one who is upset now. There is also the issue of the German Turkey Covenant. At that time, Germany was eager to pull Turkey to join, which gave many advantages. Now the Turkish forces are infiltrating in the Balkans, which once made the Balkan public security chaos a pot of porridge.
The German Foreign Ministry had to summon Ambassador Turkey again and again, hoping that Turkey would adopt a more moderate ethnic policy that was rarely adopted in the Balkans to deal with the Balkan society that was about to collapse.
The Balkan Peninsula has always been a complex and eventful region in the world, known as the "European powder magazine". It is said that due to various historical reasons, ethnic issues, religious conflicts, cultural differences, border disputes, political differences and other thorny issues are intertwined and incompatible.
And Turkey’s infiltration of its own jurisdiction into the Balkans has also made this region more chaotic. The former Balkan Peninsula, Central Yugoslavia, is the region with the most moderate and intense contradictions and conflicts. Now, due to Turkey’s extreme immigration policy, the Balkan occupied area has become the most chaotic place in the whole Balkan.
Because the Balkan region is located in the main road of communication, it has always been a battleground for military strategists. For self-interest, major European countries have always paid attention to the dynamics and changes here and actively intervened in various contradictions and conflicts. These reasons have made the Balkan ethnic issues a very sensitive regional issue. Germany and Italy are careful to deal with it, and only Turkey can make trouble drastically.
If anyone wants to know how messy the Balkan region really is, they should start with the number of ethnic groups in the Balkan region-there are all ethnic groups in this region with a population of more than 50,000, and it seems that every ethnic group has a strong interest in ruling this region. The arrival of Turkey has made one more cake distributor here, but a lot less cake to share, so the consequences have become very bad.
At present, the order of the formation of the resistance base in the Balkans is this: the general resistance army was born, Turkey occupied the Balkan region, then fled to the Italian-occupied Balkan region to develop and grow, and then returned to the Turkish-occupied region to make waves.
It is said that the rebels in the German-occupied area dare not provoke easily. After all, General Holt’s troops are not idle. Those rebels who went to Bulgaria in the Balkan-occupied area of Germany for an autumn wind have all been annihilated. General Holt is happy with what Turkey has said. After comparing the causes, the Balkan aborigines in his area are honest because their neighbors live much harder than them.
"I also heard about Hufei in the Balkan of Turkey." Now that this topic has been raised, Marshal Blauchich will be able to pick up this topic and talk about it. After he sighed, Nai said to arcado, "But it is occupied by Turkey. We can intervene in the actions of the Turkish army slightly."
"Italy, Turkey … if they are not brought in, they will be brought in by the British, but bringing them in will cause us trouble." arcado feels that his allies are really annoying. When he is an ally, he always feels like a kindergarten teacher playing with a group of children.
Italy, North Africa, and Turkey are also not working hard. Northern Britain can rebuild the shadow alive until now. Livich, France can work hard behind Germany, and then Franco Spain can be counted … I feel uncomfortable when I think about it-arcado is very private and regards Romania as Germany’s most ally.
These countries will not only ask Germany for benefits, but also ask for sending troops to help them compete for territory; The Axis regimental headquarters blamed each other for their own interests; When the Germans needed help, they pushed from pillar to post …
"Marshal Brauchich, why can’t we have some decent allies?" arcado felt full of complaints when he thought of these Axis allies.
"Sometimes our Fuehrer’s allies are not what we can choose at will. This is true for Germany." Blauchich followed Nai and left his pie mouth. If it were Marshal Rommel in North Africa, it is estimated that the Fuehrer and Marshal could squat together and scold Italy all day.
……
When arcado complained that his allies were unreliable, American President Roosevelt was in his wheelchair on the other side of the Atlantic, and his aides Marshall and Eisenhower complained about American allies together.
"This month, the British people’s material supply list is simply unbearable! Who are they themselves? Are we still their colonies in America? When the emperor sneezes, we have to give everything in our hands? " Roosevelt, a production official in charge, complained to Roosevelt on the left hand side
This month, the United States and Britain were sunk by the Germans, including destroyers, but more of them were supplied to Iceland and the Middle East. Almost two-thirds of the goods were sunk by the Germans, and the United States, no matter how rich it is, could not help but have a headache about its own losses.
Fortunately, because the United States has opened a very long-distance waterway, even though the losses are greater, the US military in the Middle East needs to transport tanks and other heavy industries from the United States. Even so, the United States has been "sunk" by German submarines for five Sherman tanks.
Iceland is the hardest hit area. The submarine force of the German navy has invested in a new type of submarine. This submarine’s water speed has caused the US navy a headache, and there is no good way to deal with it. This has also led to the recklessness of most German routes in Iceland, the heavy losses of British and American transport ships, and the paralysis of the Icelandic route base.
The British royal family prepared for the counterattack in frontline base, Iceland. Now, let alone preparing for the counterattack. Even if it is barely maintained, it will consume a lot of American materials, from food to heavy weapons. The British government has given the United States a list of needs, which makes people feel robbed.
"Look at what they all want? 5 tons of grain! Do they have so many people to eat? 15 destroyers, 1 fighter, and 20,000 tons of jet fuel … Why don’t they grab it? " The official said more and more excited, patting the file in his hand and yelling
"Faster than grabbing!" Marshall sighed and "corrected" one of his colleagues. Then he said to Roosevelt with a wry smile, "We must be careful in supplying supplies to Britain. Most of the supplies have been sunk at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean. Are we planning to build a bridge from the bottom of the sea to Iceland?"
General Eisenhower has always been an American general who supported the British counterattack plan. At this time, he also managed to squeeze out a sentence to deal with his colleagues’ accusation that "Britain’s supply demand is based on the fact that our materials were sunk in large quantities, and their demand is pitiful. Most Icelandic bases have stopped shipping."
Roosevelt took the first place and had to sigh that these American allies are really rubbish-what can you see about their German allies that reflect their due value?
Italy and North Africa helped the Germans sweep the axis of the Anglo-American Coalition forces, and now they have controlled the radiation from North Africa to Central Africa, and they are improving their own shortage of rubber raw materials.
Turkey’s four battlefields blocked the Soviet Black Sea Fleet, threatening the northeast of China, and there were almost 10,000 troops in the hands of the Middle East, which threatened the strategic location of the Allies.
Let’s look at Gibraltar, Spain, oil-producing Romania, Germany, Vichy, France and so many excellent allies in northern Britain who are preparing to take over British heritage. Why is it that none of them are Americans?
The more Roosevelt thought about it, the more angry he became, and he almost dropped the papers in his hand, which made people push him out of the chair because he had a bunch of lists of allies for help, all kinds and types-it was just a bunch of death warrants.
The Soviet Union asked the United States to provide 10,000 tons of fuel for six months, three advanced Sherman tanks and five armored vehicles, which was even more frightening. The Soviet Union hoped that the US emergency forces would be equipped with five advanced fighters and five large transport planes …
Roosevelt really wanted to ask each other by the collar of Stalin. Did his parents know that he was so arrogant? America’s aid to the Soviet Union is not small, but what is the result? Now the Soviet army is fighting hard in Stalingrad, and it is still a hundred thousand miles away from winning Germany.
"Well, Mr. President," an official in charge of Asian affairs coughed twice in the corner. I’m sorry that you forgot to read China’s request for assistance, pointing to a forgotten pile of papers on the desk in front of Roosevelt.
Chapter 73 74 in half
Roosevelt wanted to throw a stack of papers out of his hand and wake up in that corner. He forgot to look at the face of some documents. He looked at the official with a pair of eyes and glasses shining behind him, and the official knew that his timing was not right. He lowered his head and became an ostrich.
I can’t blame him for having a report on the China War Zone’s resistance to Japanese aggression. He has given it to Roosevelt for several days, but the president chose to look at this report. The team has been waiting for supplies for a long time, but it still hasn’t been able to wait until they want supplies and equipment.
Special envoy China traveled halfway around the world to arrive safely in the United States. Yesterday, President China’s wife almost cried because of her kind words, which made the American official make up his mind to help China, an American friend in the Far East.
Did Roosevelt forget this report from China for help? Of course, he didn’t forget that when he first entered the president’s office a few days ago, he read it carefully. Compared with the lion-mouthed allies such as the Soviet Union and Britain, China’s request was very humble.
In this report, it is analyzed in detail that the frontal battlefield rout of the Chinese team gave up a lot of territory. In the "Far East defeat", the Japanese bombers ventured to bomb the China Industrial Zone in Hanyang, Wuhan, which was really a stroke of genius. This time, the Japanese army formulated excellent strategies with unique vision-let China add frost to the fragile industries.
