In the first half of 1947, because the main participating countries in World War II were busy forming cliques, no large-scale war broke out around the world. However, in July 1947, this calm was broken. And everyone
Observers of the current situation find it puzzling that it was Soviet Russia that first broke the calm.
Because the country was divided into two after Hitler was assassinated, Germany, both on the Nazi side and on the Wehrmacht side, wisely chose to withdraw its troops from most of the occupied countries. However, most of these did not include Poland, Ukraine and parts of Belarus.
And North Africa. The German Army is known as the world's strongest army for its own reason. There has never been a lack of military strategists at the strategic level in the army. Like Falkenhausen, they all realize that Germany may be held responsible for post-war responsibilities, so
They all tend to build a line of defense around Germany and rely on it to continue to exert influence on some countries they once occupied. This is also the reason why European countries had to choose sides in the German Civil War.
On July 11, Stalin gave a speech in the Kremlin, declaring that he would launch a war of revenge against Germany in order to avenge the 20 million Soviet people who were killed in the Soviet-German War. On the same day, he ordered Zhukov to form the European Front Army and immediately sent troops to Germany.
Marching in the direction of Europe - "...my requirement is that at least Berlin and Cologne must be occupied. Soviet industry has lagged behind China and the United States. We need German machines and talents," Stalin warned when giving Zhukov his order.
.
When the Soviet Union decided to use troops against Europe, the only places in the world where there were wars were in South America and Asia. South America, because the major South American countries, Argentina, Brazil, Bolivia, Venezuela, etc. were all ambiguous with China, and the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives
Truman's proposal to send more troops to South America was not approved. Affected by this, MacArthur's Masonic mercenaries had to shrink their defense lines and could only fight guerrilla warfare with the Chinese and Pakistani coalition forces in Colombia. There are only two places in Asia where there are still wars.
.One is still the Palau Islands, and the other is Sumatra. Among them, because the Japanese and American forces have no sea power in the Pacific that can compete with the Chinese Pacific Fleet, the battle in the Palau Islands is limited to the air. In Koizumi Minichiro
After sending a considerable number of special attack teams to participate in the air battle, the warring parties temporarily achieved a balance and the battle became more formal. On Sumatra Island, after the US Marine Corps reinforced two divisions, the Japanese army finally held the defense line. On the Chinese and Japanese sides,
When everyone began to overhaul their fortifications, the scale of the battle was limited.
The Soviet Red Army assembled more than two million troops to launch an attack on Europe. The German troops in Belarus and Ukraine bore the brunt and became Stalin's whetstone for testing the combat effectiveness of the new army.
Compared with that time and space, the combat effectiveness of the Soviet Russian army in this time and space is much inferior. The rapid advancement of the electronics industry has made the relevant systems and tactics of the Soviet Russian army obsolete. It should have been eaten up in the war against Germany and the Far East War.
Because of the pain of backward technology, Stalin made up his mind after the end of the Far East War and decided to build a new army based on the Chinese military system. And in his call to "arm the troops with knowledge and make the Soviet Red Army a truly modern army"
Under the dictatorship, the Soviet Army not only increased the proportion of technical non-commissioned officers in the army, but also expanded the size of the armored forces at any cost. Thanks to the dictatorship, because it could integrate the resources of all Soviet Russia to implement relevant plans, the Soviet Army changed its equipment.
The speed of restructuring is quite fast. For example, in Zhukov's European Front, more than half of the troops are now mechanized troops. In addition, even the proportion of non-mechanized troops, tanks and artillery is much higher than in the past.
The Germans knew very little about the changes that had taken place in the Soviet Red Army. Therefore, at the beginning of the war, the unprepared German army suffered heavy losses. In Ukraine, two of the three divisions of the German Wehrmacht were annihilated by the Soviet Red Army, and another division was completely wiped out.
Although the division commander saw the opportunity quickly and ordered a retreat early, he also lost nearly one-third of his troops.
The Nazi troops stationed in Belarus are different from the Wehrmacht, which has a rich background. The German Nazis only retained one division and an independent regiment in Belarus. It must be that the Soviet Russians hate the Nazis even more. This division plus an independent regiment of German troops
, was attacked by a Soviet army group, fought hard for two weeks, and was finally destroyed.
When the Soviet Red Army entered Ukraine on a large scale, the Polish government realized that Poland would be the next target of attack by the Soviet Russians, so they applied to NATO early, hoping to join NATO and hoping that NATO could intervene.
However, today is different from the past. The primary target of NATO in this time and space is China. Therefore, although Poland applied to join NATO in time, the British, Americans and Japanese are simply unwilling to take a trip into this muddy water. Therefore, except for
The British government made a gesture and sent a special envoy to Soviet Russia in an attempt to mediate, but the NATO Council did not speak at all.
The Poles had no choice but to turn to the German Wehrmacht and the French Restoration Army for help. The Soviets launched a massive attack under the banner of revenge. The Germans naturally knew that they were the final target of the Soviets, so on the Soviet side
Just when they announced their intention to use troops against Europe, the Germans began to take action.
On July 19, the senior leaders of the German Wehrmacht and the German Nazis held negotiations in Frankfurt. After two days of discussion, the two sides finally signed a provisional agreement. In the agreement, the two sides agreed to suspend confrontation and cooperate with the outside world, and at the same time, the German Wehrmacht temporarily obtained national representatives.
right.
After the signing of this agreement, the German Wehrmacht government temporarily obtained the highest command power of the country. On July 23, after convening a high-level military meeting, the former German Nazi government Army Commander-in-Chief (now Commander-in-Chief of the Army of the German Nazi government), who had the temporary highest decision-making power,
The Supreme Commander of the German Wehrmacht Brauchitsch signed multiple orders in succession, first authorizing Manstein to form the Northern Front to support Poland, then authorizing Guderian to visit the French Wehrmacht, and finally inviting Falkenhausen to serve as a diplomatic envoy and granting him the mandate.
He organized a delegation to go to China, hoping to gain China's support.
Relevant news reached Chongqing, and Ouyang Yun realized that a new round of world war was about to begin, and immediately convened a government meeting attended by all senior military and political officials.
The Third World War theoretically began when Koizumi Toshiichiro broke away from the Japanese government and the United States and Japan formed an anti-China alliance. However, because for a long period of time, the scale of the war between China and the countries in the anti-China alliance was not very large.
, so it did not attract widespread attention from the world. But now, even people with dull political sense have realized that with the Soviet Red Army entering Europe on a large scale, the outbreak of a new great war is inevitable. And
Correspondingly, the world structure will inevitably undergo new changes.
What position should China stand in this new round of the war of the century?
