In the Soviet Union, at the Western Front Command, Zhukov just got up and was brushing his teeth and washing his face. This commander, who had done a great job on the front line of the Soviet Union ’s Far East, has now become the commander-in-chief of the entire Soviet Western Front. Each of his orders will be faithfully executed because the Soviet officers and soldiers after the cleansing have no courage to question Any decision by the boss.
So Zhukov can now be said to be in power, and the army in his hand is stronger than the Soviet troops that suffered the annihilation a few months ago. Although the frontline troops of the Soviet Union lost more than half of them in a few months, the Soviet Union was powerful. The speed of replenishment allowed them to quickly increase their troops to pre-war levels.
And these troops distributed a total of 300 t-34 tanks, as well as a large number of kv-1 tanks and kv-2 tanks. Although the latter two tanks have been discontinued, Stalin once ordered to intervene in the production of Soviet tanks, so although these two tanks were eliminated, a large number of reserves remained. So front-line Soviet troops had to continue to use these two outdated tanks, and more than 2,000 were used in one use. Coupled with a large number of T-26 tanks, the Soviet Union still has more tanks than the German armored forces, and the quality has been partially improved.
"How's the Stalin tank equipped? I'll let you stare at this one and talk about your thoughts." While wiping his face, Zhukov asked his assistant, a middle-aged colonel officer.
The officer of the colonel would of course not take the chief ’s words as a deaf ear, and he was indeed staring at the production of Stalin tanks recently. After all, it was a super tank named after the great leader. So he took a step forward and hurriedly replied: "Comrade Commander, the tank named after Comrade Leader has produced 15 vehicles, most of which were assembled manually by workers in the workshop. After all, our technology for producing heavy weapons and equipment is not yet Too mature. "
In fact, Soviet equipment for the production of Stalin tanks was already in place, but because the steel mill near the Ural Mountains could not be started, the Soviet steel production dropped significantly in 1938, which also restricted the production speed of the Soviet tanks.
It is a pity that the director of this piece of steel has always been Khrushchev's cronies. After the incident of Khrushchev's retreat to the Crimean Peninsula, these cronies were dealt with by Stalin for various reasons. Now, the piece of steel production management is just a mess. No one can take over for a while, and no one has been able to recover until now.
Hearing his assistant's words, Zhukov nodded in satisfaction. Now he is more concerned about the maturity of the technology, imitating the t-34 tank produced by the German leopard tank. After all, this tank has been used in actual combat, although the record is very good. In general, but it is suitable to replace those t-26 tanks that are so ridiculous. After all, there are tens of thousands of T-26 tanks, it is impossible to replace all expensive Stalin tanks.
Zhu Kefu ’s recent mood is actually not good. His plan to fight back against the German team in the autumn was rejected by Stalin. Now Stalin is more optimistic about Stalin tanks with low production and complicated production processes. I hope that the Soviet Red Army can wait until later. The Stalin tank then counterattacked.
This is the origin of the Soviet Union's winter counterattack plan, which is the basic reason why the Germans dared to deploy some troops and traveled to the Balkans for a circle. However, to wait for hundreds of Stalin tanks to serve, at least until the winter, but if the winter comes as scheduled, the difficulties faced by the Soviet Red Army are no less than the Germans.
At least in the news sent back by Soviet spies lurking in Germany, Zhukov found evidence that the Germans were preparing for the winter. For example, he found a piece of information that showed that the German army was engaging about 3,000 prisoners of war in logging to prepare charcoal for winter consumption. Although the charcoal produced by 3000 logging slaves is not enough for one army, but how many concentration camps are there in Poland, who can know? How much charcoal can be provided by these concentration camps is also a mystery that cannot be estimated.
However, if we count the hoarding of ammunition and the storage of winter clothing, Zhu Kefu knows that the Germans are preparing for the winter. There are no less than 20 pieces of information. Considering his veteran who has been in the battle for many years, since the opponent is already preparing for the winter reserves, look forward It is absolutely unwise for the winter offensive to work.
Just a few days ago, Zhukov once again risked being disliked by Stalin and uploaded a telegram. He hoped to use the rainy season to attack the German defense line when autumn arrived, opening the situation first, at least to occupy Kiev It was used to shell Kiev to prevent the Germans from using the factories in Kiev to modify and repair the tanks.
But before Stalin, who was shaken, the Soviet air force came out and rejected Zhukov ’s proposal, because the United States wanted to thwart the aggressive actions of the Japanese army in the Pacific, so all the 150 p-40 fighters that should be provided to the Soviet Union were It was detained in Las Vegas and used as an air defense force there.
The Soviet Air Force, without new equipment and without supplements, refused to provide Zhukov with any air support. Zhukov could only abandon his plan to attack the Germans in the fall and prepare for a "war that both parties expected" in the winter.
Recently, the German army issued an ace flight officer. The pilot was the latest German long nose fw-190 fighter. I heard that the aircraft is not the fw-200 type speculated by Soviet intelligence personnel, but a new codename called ta- The 152 fighter is so unbelievably good that it cannot be said to be the strongest fighter.
And the guy called the black tulip death actually shot down 104 Soviet fighter jets. For a time, the sky was discolored by Soviet pilots, and even when he heard that he was going to the sky, he would rather go to Siberia to mine. Nor does it take off to perform combat missions.
The nose of this German pilot ’s plane was painted with black tulips. No one knows where this person is, but the Soviet pilot who saw the plane rarely came back alive, even if occasionally lucky guys escaped When I came back, it was almost nonsense.
Thinking of this, Zhukov waved his deputy, indicating that he could go out, and then walked to the desk in front of him, carefully reading the documents sent in the morning. The documents here are all-encompassing, and there are even German newspapers from the previous two days with various German news.
Zhukov didn't understand German, but the German newspapers gave him a translated text. He just had to check it. The reason why he got the original text was to compare the pictures above.
Just as Zhukov opened the newspaper, Akado also opened a newspaper, except that his newspaper was on the same day, not the expired version two days before Zhukov received it. While drinking coffee, he carefully looked at the contents. Compared with the time, in fact, Akado got up earlier than Zhukov. Because of the time difference, Akado near Warsaw is naturally better than Minsk. Zhukov got up early.
And not far away in front of Akado, there was a document from the intelligence department. The purpose of this document was to prove the time of the Soviet military ’s attack and was a top secret high-level intelligence. There are only five people in Germany who know the content. Only the Marshal Brouchich may know the exact contents of the document.
The German intelligence work started early, with advanced and pervasive methods. This is inseparable from the early deployment of Akado in the National Defense Force. The Germans attached importance to intelligence, and naturally attached importance to the confidentiality of intelligence, so some such as beggar poison beehives Such senior spies are directly responsible to Gascol and Akado. The general people simply cannot access this. This is also one of the means to protect them. Akado has always been kind to the intelligence staff, which is also an amazing result of the German intelligence work. Important reason.
This information comes from the beehive. If Zhukov sees it, he will be surprised. The information above shows that the Soviet Union is producing the 19th and 20th Stalin tanks, and the latest 18th tank has already left the workshop and is ready to be submitted to the troops. . Compared with Zhukov's own information, this German intelligence is even more detailed than the Soviets themselves knew.
With the support of this document, the German Supreme Command reached the correct conclusion. The facts proved that the Soviet Union was indeed not prepared to launch an offensive in the autumn. The fastest attack may have to wait until November 15 and may even be postponed until Christmas. Rear. And this attack plan came from Stalin ’s highest order, and even Zhukov had no right to change it without authorization.
"Send encrypted messages to Krupp and August, using ... the highest level of secret codes for the heads of state." Akado thought for a while and said: "Let them give priority to the ammunition produced by several companies in Italy and France. Go to North Africa and support Rommel to put an end to the battle of Egypt. "
"Yes!" Anna took the message file issued by Akado, looked closely and found no problems, then smiled and turned and went out.
When he walked to the door, Akado suddenly stopped her: "Wait a minute, then use a private mail channel to send a private letter to Mercedes and ask her what happened to Caesar. Please help me think about the specific content. Okay, read it to me after writing it! "
"My head, I'm afraid that when you think about it, I guess little Caesar will call her mother." Anna laughed: "The day before yesterday, I already wrote a letter to Sister Mercedes in your name, Her reply may arrive in Warsaw tomorrow, and you will wait to see how Sister Mercedes blames you! Dear, love, yes! "
Akado froze, then smiled bitterly ...
