Hitler's thoughts were interrupted by the sound of leather boots pounding on the granite floor, and then he saw the door of his office be pushed open, and Hersmann, dressed in the uniform of the Reichsmarshal, strode in and gave Hitler a salute Although the authority of the German Chief of the General Staff was not under the Chancellor, Hersmann was still nominally Hitler's subordinate.
"Ludwig, come here."
Hitler politely beckoned to Hersmann and called him to a map of the battlefield situation hanging on a wall.
"Look at this, is it right?"
Hitler asked, pointing to the map, to Hersmann.
The map was produced by Hitler's military adjutant, Lieutenant General Keitel, and several other adjutants on the basis of a report from the General Staff, and was marked with dotted lines as to the trends they predicted on the battlefield.
They predicted very optimistically, and the two large arrows consisting of dotted lines were already meeting east of Moscow.
"It's not so optimistic, how is this possible," Hersman shook his head again and again as he looked at the map drawn by Keitel, "How is it possible to run north from Kharkov to Moscow for more than 600 kilometers in a straight line, and there are more than 400 kilometers of road transportation lines behind it, how can there be so much gasoline, this is impossible." ” Fortunately, Hitler breathed a sigh of relief and was relieved that the Soviet Union had escaped for the time being.
But Hersman's next words made his heart rise to his throat.
"So the General Staff planned a one-line assault, starting from Lyuban, southeast of Petrograd.
There is a railway line to Baltic, which is still in operation, and all that can be quickly stockpiled with supplies and troops.
We plan to concentrate 10 panzer divisions, 10 panzergrenadier divisions, 20 motorized rifle divisions, 20 ordinary infantry divisions or cavalry divisions to launch an offensive in August of this year. ” The expression on Hitler's face immediately became very anxious, "How many tanks do 10 Panzer Divisions and 10 Panzergrenadier Divisions need?"
Hersman stretched out a slap: "About 5,000 vehicles" "5000 vehicles" Hitler gasped, "By the way, do we have those 10 panzer divisions near Petrograd" "Nope."
"At present, there are 2 German Panzer Divisions, 3 French Panzer Divisions, 1 Hungarian Panzer Division near Petrograd, and 4 Panzer Divisions are also being prepared to be transferred from the battlefields of Belarus and Little Russia. ” "Personnel of 4 armored divisions" "Only the men, tanks and all the equipment were brought in from the stocks," Hirschman explained, "effectively amounting to four new armored divisions." ” Germany today is really big compared to history, and the No. 4 tank, Tiger tank and Rhino anti-tank destroyer stored in the warehouse alone are enough to equip 5 armored divisions.
"Is there enough gasoline" Hitler hurriedly asked, "Do we have that much gas?"
Hersman shook his head and said, "It's not enough, but you can deduct the quota from other places, and you can launch a surprise attack on Moscow with an extra 500,000 tons of gasoline." ” The plan to attack Moscow was now in the gestation stage, and the plan for an offensive in the direction of Stalingrad, as laid down in the purple plan, had to be canceled because the accident of Leningrad combined with the fuel consumption of the front-line troops in the battle and the subsequent maneuver outflanking burned too much gasoline and had to be canceled.
However, Guderian and the people in the Operational Directorate of the General Staff are now on the rise, eager to end the Soviet Union in 1943.
So after not having enough fuel to hit Stalingrad, a more fuel-efficient offensive line was taken.
Assault on Moscow from near Petrograd, where the railway line was repaired after the siege of Leningrad, so there was a railway available from Baltic to Lyuban.
What really needs to be burned is the more than 500 kilometers from Liuban to Moscow, and the Tiger G tank can be refueled twice.
And how great the strategic significance of taking Moscow is, even people who do not know anything about military politics know.
Now it is not the Soviet-German war, but the war between White Russia and Red RussiaFor the majority of Russians, this is a civil war, but the White Russian empress borrowed the soldiers of the reactionaries of various European countries.
The political economy of the Soviet Union or Russia has always revolved around the "two capitals", and if Leningrad and Moscow are lost, the general trend of Red Russia will go.
In this way, the more than one million Red Army troops currently surrounded will definitely defect, and with this more than one million troops, then the civil war in Soviet Russia will most likely become a real civil war, and the White Russian government will not need too much assistance from the German and French armies.
"No, this won't work," Hitler's head shook like a rattle, "this is a completely apolitical plan, now is not the time to destroy the Soviet Union, we need the Soviet Union" Hersmann laughed when he heard this, he actually understood some of Hitler's thoughts, Hitler only wanted the land of the Soviet Union, not the people of the Soviet Union.
Now although he is trapped by Olga and has to melt into Russia, it is good to melt one less Russian.
As Olga said in the open letter, population is power, if the Soviet Union is gone in a few months, then 100 million Soviet people have become European people, what about the Germans, the Germans are now called 100 million, in fact, there are more than 90 million at most, almost half of the Russians This is going to melt in, and the Germans can't catch up with the number of Russians even if they go home to have children even if they immediately stop fighting.
Thinking of the population, Hitler looked at Hersmann with admiration, and Hesmann was a "glorious father", and had seven children with Chloe, all of whom were blonde and blue-eyed supermen, while Hitler himself was ashamed of the German nation, and he didn't even have a child at a young age.
Fortunately, Eva is still young, Hitler thought to himself, and when the world war is won, he must have a few more little Hitlers with Eva for the German nation Seeing that Hitler's expression was a little strange, Hersmann thought that he was worried about how to help tens of millions of Russians get together together, so he smiled and comforted Hitler and said: "Mr.
Chancellor, the Soviet Union is not so fragile, and Moscow is not so easy to fight."
According to our reconnaissance, Moscow has been preparing for war since mid-June, with millions of men busy building fortifications every day, and it is estimated that there will be a lot of supplies, so it is impossible for us to take Moscow before the autumn muddy season arrives.
Thus, in the finalized plan, the attack on Moscow was merely an act of intimidation aimed at shaking the morale of the Soviet Red Army, which was still fighting in Warsaw, Minsk, Kharkov, the Crimean peninsula and Petrograd. ” The size of the Moscow metropolitan area is larger than Petrograd, and as the first capital of the Soviet Union, it is not a border city, and it is a key city in the three five-year plans of the Soviet Union.
Therefore, there are more fortified buildings to rely on than in Petrograd In addition, with the lesson of starvation in Leningrad, Moscow's material reserves must be very sufficient to cope with a long siege.
Therefore, it is very difficult to take Moscow by surprise attack and siege, and the offensive that the Wehrmacht is planning is only to create the illusion that Moscow is about to fall, so that the cities of Petrograd, Minsk, and Kharkov are not completely occupied, and the Red Army in Crimea and Warsaw surrenders.
Hitler understood what the Wehrmacht General Staff envisioned, but he said to Hersmann in a very serious tone: "Reich Marshal, we didn't think about capturing Leningrad when we were besieging it, did we?"
Hersman nodded.
It is not clear whether Guderian and Quchellel thought about taking Petrograd, but he certainly did not think about it himself.
"But Leningrad has become Petrograd," Hitler suddenly shouted, "so I don't want to see Moscow turn into a second Petrograd, we must give Stalin enough time to transfer the population of Central Asia, Siberia and the Far East, which is very empty and a good place to build a GC paradise, you understand" Hitler wanted to drive the Russians as far as possible to Siberia, Central Asia and the Far East.
In the original history, when the Soviet Union collapsed, the five countries of Central Asia had a population of more than 50 million, Siberia had a population of more than 40 million, and the Far East had a population of several million.
Combined, there are about 100 million people.
That is, in Central Asia, Siberia and the Far East, there is still a lot of potential that can be tapped in the issue of carrying the population of Russia.
"I understand," Hersman also put away his smile and replied seriously, "there will be tens of millions of Russians who will go to Central Asia, Siberia and the Far East to build GCISM, I promise." ” "In 1943, our troops could not get too close to Moscow," Hitler demanded again.
"They should stay 50 kilometers away from the Kremlin."
"Okay."
Hersmann agreed to Hitler's request.

Fearing Stalin's escape, he didn't dare to get his troops too close to Moscow.
"Replace Quchelel," Hitler continued, "with someone who listens to you." ” Hersman had already planned this, saying: "I will let Admiral Paulus command the attack on Moscow, he is a very reliable general." ” In order to ensure that the Battle of Moscow was foolproof, Hersman felt that the unlucky Paul had been activated.
Paulus was promoted to general of infantry after the surrender of the British mainland in early '43, and now he is the head of the Wehrmacht Army Armaments Bureau, and has been busy finalizing the E50 tank for several months.
"Very well, Paulus should be the right person."
Hitler knew that Paulus had always been Hirschmann's confidant, and he was not a good general, which was more reassuring, and if he was replaced by such a strong general as Manstein and Moder, Hitler and Hersmann would probably not be able to sleep. t1706231537:
