Is Brauchitsch old and confused? Is he willing to let his army obey the command of outsiders? No, no, no, he is too old. There is a reason or intention for Brauchitsch to be willing to "degenerate".
About two hours ago, in Brauchitsch's presidential office, he was plotting something with Rommel. Rommel's recall to Berlin this time was not very honorable. Well, the German Ministry of Defense still retained his status as an active soldier.
Status can be regarded as taking care of veterans.
The first thing Rommel did after returning to Berlin was to write a report of more than thirty pages, carefully analyzing the gap between the German and Soviet armies and the main problems faced by the German army. The Soviets were more brave in fighting.
?This is for sure. Russia is a fighting nation. Otherwise, they would not have occupied so much land with such a small population. But is it just bravery? You must know that this is not the Patriotic War. The key is still
Due to the Soviet Union's system, in order to have enough food for their families at the rear and even protect their lives and property from being harmed, Russian soldiers had no other choice but to perform extraordinarily bravely on the battlefield.
The Soviet Russians were even more desperate, and their weapons and equipment had caught up with them. Therefore, the German generals and soldiers who once relied on tanks, artillery, and fighter planes to suppress the Russians suddenly became incapable of fighting.
- "...Russian planes are flying all over the sky. When fighting, our soldiers have to be alert all the time whether there will be bombs falling on their heads. They are simply unable to devote themselves to the battle..."
The Germans win on land, land and air. To use a vivid metaphor, the army and air force are like the two legs of Germany. The reason why the Germans were able to maintain a lightning-fast attack speed at the beginning of World War II was due to the large-scale mechanization of the army.
That's one reason, but without the Air Force taking the lead and covering overhead, the Army wouldn't be able to maintain that speed of advancement. Now, with the Air Force crippled, the German giant is lame. Let alone chasing the enemy, it can turn around and run away.
It is always inconvenient. In other words, once bitten by the enemy, there is no chance to escape.
Rommel was able to hold on for so long at Petergosh, and was even able to finally withdraw to the Szczecin area with his main force, it was all thanks to the Chinese HNA pilots of the Wudoutianwang aircraft carrier fleet. If they hadn't played a decisive role at the last minute
The "internationalist spirit" really fought the Russian Air Force at all costs. It is estimated that Rommel is buried there.
In the early, middle and late stages of World War II, its own army and the puppet armies of some countries, like the Alibaba Bandits, snatched back a large amount of strategic resources from those occupied countries. Although the German air force manufacturing industry was weakened due to lack of manpower, it maintained normal battle losses.
There is no problem. It’s just that airplanes are easy to build, but training pilots cannot be achieved overnight. Germany’s population base is only so small, so an embarrassing scene for the Germans appeared. The male and female workers in the rear worked hard overtime.
Fighters have been continuously manufactured, but due to the lack of pilots they can only hang out at the airport. What is particularly unacceptable is that because the Air Force cannot even guarantee the safety of the local airspace, many fighters have to be transported from the factory to
The next moment, the frontline became a feat of Russian pilots, who effortlessly blew up the frontline airport.
The aircraft carrier fleet of the Wudoutianwang has been crippled in order to rescue Rommel's military group, and there is no considerable time to recover, but those Chinese pilots are still there. The Germans do not think that their fighters are necessarily inferior to Chinese fighters. So,
Can we borrow people from China and let them fly German fighter planes to continue fighting?
Rommel wrote this proposal directly in the report, and the wily Brauchitsch went a step further, thinking about the problem of insufficient army manpower, and directly proposed that the alliance with China should be strengthened. The so-called "strengthening alliance" is of course only an official statement.
, Brauchitsch’s true inner thoughts were, to put it bluntly, he was interested in China’s population, especially those young and strong.
What Brauchitsch and Rommel are plotting now is related to the issue of borrowing people from China.
"I carefully analyzed the entire process of China's Anti-Japanese War and discovered something very interesting," Brauchitsch said while wearing reading glasses and looking at a notebook in front of him.
Rommel made a gesture of all ears.
"I think there are two core reasons for China's eventual victory over Japan and the victory of the war of resistance on the mainland - one is the sudden rise of the Xuebing Army led by Ouyang Yun, and the other is China's huge population base. In fact, the Xuebing Army was finally able to grow into
China's huge population base is the key factor in ruling the whole of China and even Asia. Of course, China has sufficient strategic depth, which is also one of the reasons. Rommel, Germany wants to escape this disaster and defeat Soviet Russia
, I thought we needed China’s population! No, to be more precise, we need China’s young men!”
Rommel nodded. Population can actually become a strategic force. In the past, he would never have realized this. But now, as long as he sees the remains of the numerous soldiers who were transported back on the military trains, he will
Subconsciously, I had the idea that if Germany launched a war with Russia more than ten years later, and if every pair of German parents could have more than two children, then they would definitely not be so embarrassed now.
"It's actually not difficult to get young men from China, because we only need to do one thing."
"Convince Ouyang Yun?" Rommel continued.
Brauchitsch nodded, flipped through his notebook, found what he wanted, glanced at it a few times and said: "I have studied Ouyang Yun, and what makes me frustrated is that I can't discover his personality traits. This
This is the trickiest part - no features means no shortcomings, where do we start?"
Rommel also studied Ouyang Yun. There is no way, since Ouyang Yun appeared, he has been as eye-catching as a comet. As China becomes more and more powerful, Ouyang Yun's status has also increased, and he naturally has the value of being studied. He
Looking at Brauchitsch, his eyes especially stayed on his gray hair for a while, and said: "Sir, Ouyang Yun is not without shortcomings. For example, lust, and extreme national complex -"
Before he could finish speaking, Brauchitsch shook his head repeatedly and said: "Lawful? That's not called lustful. Have you ever seen him get into trouble because of women? He did get angry because of women, but Ouyang Yun would be in that state
It has become even more terrifying. So I don’t think this is his shortcoming (Ouyang Yun clapped and laughed—Old Marshal Brauchitsch knows me).”
Rommel thought about it seriously and felt that this was really the case. He frowned and felt a little embarrassed.
