Chapter 949 20,000 Tanks (Plus 2)

Historically, Germany's Operation Barbarossa finally failed. They were the closest to Moscow, and it seemed that they could get in with a little more effort.

However, they failed in the end. The battle against the Soviet Union turned Germany from prosperity to decline, and finally ushered in the doomsday of its demise.

This result made Cyric sigh, and at the same time, since he had passed through, he must avoid this from happening.

When it comes to this history, there will always be countless brick-and-mortar beasts summing up: Germany's attack on the Soviet Union, which is far beyond it in terms of area, population, resources, etc., is bound to be a failure.

This is pure nonsense. Look at every battle that has been fought before, doesn't Germany win more with less? If these conditions are not met, Germany will inevitably fail, and Germany will be a fart.

There is no more war in the world, and there is a dispute between the two countries, so hurry up and compare. My area is bigger than yours, the population is larger than yours, and the resources are more than yours. You can't win against me. This can really make the world full of love.

Boxers don't have to fight anymore, they just need to be more muscular than others.

War is definitely not the result that historians take for granted. It is the result of the accumulation of countless factors. Future generations can act like a prophet. Only those who are really immersed in the situation are truly qualified to speak. of.

Germany's war against the Soviet Union is entirely possible, historically, and even more so now!

Historically, due to Germany's failure, it was a big problem to constantly revise the combat objectives. First, they had to fight Moscow, and then they had to fight the oil fields of the Caucasus, which caused the troops to be unable to concentrate.

At that time Germany was also helpless because he had no oil, and now, this problem no longer exists.

Libya's oil is enough for Germany's war to consume, not to mention that Rommel has occupied the Suez Canal and continued to march to the Middle East, where the vast oil fields are enough to support all German wars.

Then, Germany's strategic goal is to hit Moscow!

To perish a country is to occupy their capital, and when Moscow is occupied by Germany, the Soviets perish! The blow to the Soviets, more importantly, is psychological, when the capital falls, they will accept the defeat!

Moreover, another factor is that Germany has already solved the problem on the western front, so there is no need to worry about fighting on the two fronts, and it can fully deal with the war on the eastern front.

"Führer, I propose that we can attack in three directions." Keitel, who has been promoted to marshal, said: "Our border with the Soviet Union is long, from north to south, divided into three armies."

Keitel walked to the map on the wall, holding the command pole to indicate the situation above: "The army from the north, starting from East Prussia, passing through Dvinsk, Ostrov, and crossing the central and western regions of the Soviet Union to occupy or destroy Lenin Grae, this army can attack with the Finnish army."

"In the middle, starting from the east of Warsaw and attacking Moscow via Brest, Minsk and Smolensk, this is the main force to realize our strategic intention."

"On the south side, attack the densely populated agricultural heartland - Ukraine, attack Kyiv from Lublin to the mouth of the Danube, then attack the Donbass, and then attack the Russian steppe in the south to the Volga River and the oil-rich Caucasus. area."

After several years of command and strategic consideration, Keitel has been quite thorough. The three armies attacked together, divided into three routes, and they were all the most important goals.

Leningrad hit the confidence of the Soviets. After all, it was a city named after their founding leader, and the south route hit Ukraine, which was the Soviet granary. Once there, the Soviets would run out of food and there would be no possibility of continuing the war of resistance.

The three-way army complements each other, attacks together, and can also take care of each other to the flanks. This is a quite perfect plan.

From an objective point of view, there is not much problem with this plan. Although Cyric's goal is to attack Moscow, if a long dragon hits Moscow directly, the two flanks are quite dangerous, and they may be dumped by the Soviets at any time.

Cyric nodded: "This plan is feasible. In order to improve the mobility of our troops, each army in the middle and south routes needs about 10,000 tanks and 50,000 armored vehicles."

On the battlefields of Europe, Germany is already very good at blitzkrieg, and they have applied it quite well, while the Soviet Union is vast and is still the stage for tank troops to play.

Even so, Cyric's request made Speer frown.

In the Barbarossa plan in history, Germany has only prepared more than 4,000 tanks in total, but now, Cyric requires a total of more than 20,000!

When Speer came to power, he began to accelerate the acceleration of Germany's military industry, especially now that the military industry of France and the United Kingdom has been integrated, and German military production has reached a new level. Even so, until now, Germany The number of tanks equipped in the army is less than 10,000.

You know, in history, German tanks were still dominated by No. 3 and No. 4. Now, it is dominated by Panther 3, and even Tiger tanks have begun to be produced.

These tanks are complex, and the output is not so easy to increase.

In particular, if workers are to be recruited from the production line, it will take time for the new workers to run in, and an additional 10,000 tanks will be produced all at once? How easy is it!

There are also about 50,000 armored vehicles!

In the past, the main force of German equipment was the wheeled infantry fighting vehicle, which was improved on the Ford ten-ton truck. This infantry fighting vehicle is simple to manufacture and shares the production line with the car, and can produce equipment in large quantities.

However, it was not very suitable, especially on muddy roads. When Rommel's troops went to Dunkirk, he almost abandoned his wheeled infantry fighting vehicles because of the restrictions of the swamp.

In the Soviet Union, the road conditions are bad. Once the rainy season comes, it is simply a nightmare for wheeled infantry fighting vehicles. Therefore, almost all newly produced infantry fighting vehicles are tracked, which is also time-consuming.

Under such circumstances, it is almost impossible to reach the figure stated by the head of state. And Speer is serious and responsible, and he doesn't want to show his incompetence in front of the Führer.

As if he knew what Speer was thinking, Cyric suddenly turned his eyes to Speer: "Speer, all the equipment of the troops will be in place by February next year, no problem, right?"

Hearing this, Spelton breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the Führer needed it immediately, but it turned out that there was still a year left!
