Chapter 725

It's rokosovsky's style to run without any delay. His attack is extremely sharp, and his retreat also shows a capable style. The Soviet Red army retreated quickly from the position where it cut into the German position, just like being chased and killed, and even had no idea of stopping to kill.

A large area of territory that had just fallen into the hands of the Soviet Union a few days ago returned to the hands of the German army with the passage of time. And soon, the larger and broader areas around these lands had become occupied by the German army.

Along koroskin, ovruchi and the German army, they recovered the lost land. The Soviet soldiers did not stick to any of the cities, just like they did not pay any effort when they captured these places. In fact, more than 30000 Soviet soldiers were killed in koroshenkian and more than 40000 in ovruchi, which is closer to kalinkovich, the line of control of both sides. More than 60000 Soviet soldiers were killed in the suburbs and lost in the battle. Along the way, the Soviet Union lost almost 200000 soldiers, and they achieved brilliant results in killing 90000 German soldiers and capturing 20000 German soldiers.

German soldiers in cars hurried past these places that once belonged to them. They saw that there were still unfilled craters on both sides of the road. They looked at the field by the side of the road and the bodies half covered by light snow. These Germans and Russians lay on the ground so quietly, like friends, one by one.

There are still small snowflakes floating in the sky, just like the day when the Soviets attacked. There is no clear sun in the gray sky, and the tone is so depressing that people can't breathe smoothly. The German soldiers stood on the truck, passing by their former comrades in arms, with no clear expression on their faces.

The Soviet Union paid a heavy price for Liszt's defense, but this time Germany was not without a price. Almost 100000 people were wiped out by the Soviet Union. Liszt's E group army suffered a heavy loss and basically lost its ability to continue fighting. This is the most severe battle since the beginning of the war in Germany.

Moreover, a series of problems were reflected in the fighting, which made the German senior command feel uneasy. The first was the improvement of the Soviet Union's overall combat capability, which made the German generals see the growth of the Soviet army. Unlike the war in Poland, the Soviet Red Army, without the interference of political workers and supplemented with young commanders, showed unprecedented combat effectiveness, which forced the general staff to reassess its opponent's combat capability.

The second is the decline in the fighting quality of the German army itself. Since 1925, the expansion of the German army has never stopped. Until recently, it has reached a terrible peak. About 6 million young German people have stepped into the battlefield and become soldiers of the Third Reich. However, most of these soldiers have only been trained for five months, It is by no means comparable to the national defense forces veterans who have been carefully selected and trained for several years. What's more, some of these recruits who have been training for five months have been added to the front line after only three months.

Between this and the other, there was a headache loss ratio in this battle. The loss ratio of the German army and the Soviet Red Army was as high as 1:2, which really made marshal brauchich panic. But he knew that although his own general staff evaluated the mobilization strength of the Soviet Union as 11 million soldiers, the supreme headquarters under the head of state set the ultimate mobilization strength of the Soviet Union at 18 million. There was a big gap between the two sides.

You should know that if calculated according to this amount, the German * team will have to die at least 5 million people in the Soviet Union before it can win the final victory - this is not good news for Germany itself. It turns out that the price Germany has to pay to win the war seems that the whole nation can not afford it.

Maybe there will be 5 million to 6 million young German people sleeping abroad, and whether the final outcome of the war is in Germany's long-term interests remains to be seen. This is undoubtedly a cruel torment for such a general as brauchich, who is "bent on Germany".

"My head of state." Brauchich, who arrived at the wolf den to meet akado, stood in front of the head of state and bowed his head respectfully. This time, the documents he submitted doubted akado. Therefore, as the marshal of the Empire, he felt that what he was doing was a betrayal of the head of the Empire.

But he did it for the sake of the future of the Empire. Deep down in his heart, blauchich felt that he had not done anything wrong. His loyalty to the head of state was personal, while his loyalty to the whole empire was due to the loyalty of a German soldier.

Akado looked at the document in his hand. This is a report from the imperial general staff, which suggested that the head of state should end the war as soon as possible, resume imperial production, and shake hands with the United States, Japan and other countries when necessary. For Germany, this is in the long-term interest.

"My marshal, although you think a lot about the Third Reich, you are not really thinking about the future of the Reich." Akado put the papers on his desk, then stood up and said to blauchich, "in the long run, we have to leave something for the future of the Empire."

"My head of state, with all due respect, it is the outstanding young people of the empire that we should leave behind most, not the vast empty territory." Blauchich retorted before the long argumentation of ACA.

Akado looked at blauchich, who was eager to speak, and raised the corner of his mouth to smile. German soldiers are good at fighting, and they are better at solving problems with their fists. Therefore, it is a bit difficult for them to deal with Hitler who has a very sharp tongue or akado who is more eloquent. Then, after blauchich's words, akado said, "my marshal, the technical department of the empire is studying secret weapons, a kind of terrorist weapons that can solve all disputes. This kind of weapons can destroy a city at a time. By that time, the Empire will live forever with time! And that's the best time for us to end the war! " He threw out the pie of the Empire's development of nuclear weapons. After blauchich was stunned, he began Hitler's theory of war economy: "for the sake of the future economic prosperity of the Empire and not to hand over the future of the Empire to those hateful opponents, we must control rubber, oil fields, grain, steel and other production areas! These raw material producing areas must be controlled in the hands of the Empire and must not be released to other countries! "“ The oil fields in the Middle East are too far away from us, and our geographical location finally determines that it is impossible to stay in the Middle East for a long time! " Akkado pointed to the map and explained his oil economy theory to blauchich: "moreover, the belief in the Middle East is also a pit of dissatisfaction for the Empire. We can only use the Jews to share a share there, but we can not ensure the stable supply of oil resources to the Empire!"“ The total reserves of Romanian oil fields are not large. Our crazy exploitation in the past three years has alerted the local people. " Akado pointed to the Caucasus oil field and firmly said: "the Empire must capture the Caucasus oil field and make it its own stable oil supply base!" For this purpose, Germany must capture Moscow, even push forward to the front line of the Ural Mountains, destroy the Soviet tank production base in Chelyabinsk and other areas, and completely destroy the Soviet industrial system. This series of wars is no different from the destruction of the Soviet Union“ Moreover, the Soviets will not make peace with us. They still dream of defeating us! " Akkado waved his arm and blustered his marshal brauchich: "Stalin has just delivered a national mobilization speech. He wants to fight us to the end! He said that only when all the Germans go to hell can the war be regarded as a complete end. " Indeed, if Rommel's African Legion rushes into the Middle East, the war with the United States will escalate, and the war for the oil producing areas in the Caucasus will be enough to keep the Soviet Union and Germany alive. Now it is not the case that Germany can achieve peace, but the reaction of its opponents. Brauchich is a veteran. He was in a high position in the era of the national defense forces. Because of this, he also experienced the miserable days when all resources were controlled. At that time, the national defense forces had to budget carefully for many days when they hid a gun or a tank. So blauchich, like akkado, believed that Germany must control most of the raw material producing areas and achieve self-sufficiency, which was the minimum standard for the revitalization of the third empire. Because of this, when akado threatened to occupy the Caucasus oil producing area, brauchich did not refute, nor did he want to refute at all. In fact, he also coveted the Caucasus oil producing area, where he could at least double the mechanization of his troops“ For the sake of Empire, we must win every war! Let the enemy tremble under our iron feet! All wars can only be ended if we say they can be ended! That's the bottom line! This is the pride we can leave for future generations! " Akado knocked on the table and said, ending the conversation with this. Brauchich basically agreed with akkado's words, and then the topic was based on the progress of nuclear weapons research and development. After akkado guaranteed that the Empire was fully developing such weapons that could be used to end the war, brauchich turned to support the war to continue. After coming out of the wolf's den, the marshal of the Third Reich has changed his mind. He was brainwashed by akkado and became a supporter of economic war“ The Fuehrer's idea is consistent with mine. This is not militarism, but the effort and price that must be paid for the future of the Empire! " So he commented on the conversation with his adjutant.
