Age of Conquest Reborn

Tang Qiuli calmed down and told Shan Hu: "Huzi, set up a security guard at the door of my room. No one is allowed to enter my room." Then, he picked up the key and carefully opened the password box. Inside the box, there was a

A stack of Chinese documents lay quietly inside, with "Project Barbarossa" in large Chinese characters, clear and eye-catching.

Tang Qiuli picked up the document, Liu Xinlan made him a cup of tea, and exited the room with Mei Xue. The room was quiet, with only Tang Qiuli left.

"Plan Barbarossa", the German General Staff determined that its strategic intention was to concentrate superior forces to carry out a lightning offensive along three strategic directions, eliminate the main force of the Soviet army in the western region of the Soviet Union, and then drive straight into Arkhangelsk.

Volga River, Astrakhan line, use air force to destroy the Ural Industrial Zone to finally defeat the Soviet Union.

After nearly two years of operations and military expansion, Germany used the human and material resources of the occupied European zones to develop its armed forces rapidly. By April 1941, it had approximately 7.3 million troops, including:

The Army has 5.2 million people, including 214 divisions and seven corps brigades; the Air Force has five aviation groups with more than 10,000 aircraft; and the Navy has 213 main ships.

In order to eliminate the Soviet Union as soon as possible, Germany and its allies (Romania, Hungary, Finland, etc.) had successively assembled 5.5 million troops in Eastern Europe near the Soviet border before the end of May in the first half of 1941.

: The Army has 190 divisions (including 19 armored divisions and 14 motorized divisions), about 4,300 tanks, more than 47,000 artillery and mortars, and 4,900 Air Force combat aircraft.

One hundred and eighty, one hundred and ninety-two naval combat ships.

The time when the campaign against the Soviet Union was launched was, as recorded in history, around two o'clock in the morning on June 22, 1941.

Tang Qiuli took a deep breath and tried to calm down. The military preparations made by the Germans to attack the Soviet Union were solid. Judging from the troops and equipment mobilized, it was enough to prove that Hitler had shifted the strategic focus to

The Western Front shifted to the Eastern Front, from pursuing and fighting the British to attacking the Soviets.

If this change in strategic decision-making follows the course of historical development, the outcome of World War II will be just as recorded in history. It was the beginning of Germany's transition from victory to destruction.

What Tang Qiuli didn't quite understand was that during the Battle of Dunkirk, in several telegrams exchanged with Hitler, he repeatedly emphasized that Germany's only task at the moment was to concentrate all its forces to defeat the British resistance and occupy the United Kingdom.

Mainland. Or force the British to surrender. Hitler also made this clear in his reply.

However, the Germans finally chose to change the direction of their strategic offensive. Was this change due to Hitler's original intention or the opinions of senior German generals? In other words, Hitler felt that in view of the continuous support of the Americans to the British, he felt that

The British war is far away, and Germany's huge military power is contained on one side of the English Channel.

This stalemate made the German generals who advocated offense impatient and looked for new opponents. In other words, Hitler was afraid of the fat and strong Americans. Whatever the reason, in

Before the British were completely defeated, the Germans would not be able to escape the historical consequences of opening a battlefield to fight the Soviets on the Eastern Front.

What Tang Qiuli has to do is to change this result. The Germans cannot fail. At least in the past two or three years, the Germans cannot suffer the greatest losses. The Germans' opponents in Europe are the Americans and the British.

Tang Qiuli definitely did not want the British to take a breather after the Germans attacked the Soviet Union, and then join forces with the Americans to cause trouble in Southeast Asia and the South Pacific. This would be extremely detrimental to his strategic vision!

Tang Qiuli opened the window, and the night wind of Berlin in May blew towards his face. Berlin in the night had fallen into a deep sleep, but this sleeping city contained destructive power. Millions of German soldiers,

Thousands of planes swarmed towards the Soviet territory, and artillery fire continued. Tang Qiuli tried hard to expel the war scenes of blood and fire from his mind.

The game between the two major powers, the bloody fight, even if it is the same as recorded in history, the Soviets will win miserably, cheaply, only the Americans, the history that has happened has proved this.

On the ruins of Germany, a Soviet empire stood, and on the ruins of Britain, a fat and strong United States stood. The world pattern of confrontation between the East and the West was finalized, and Tang Qiuli himself was to change this pattern.

As a person, deep in the maelstrom of history, dealing with major real events with the thinking of a later generation, and changing its process and results, Tang Qiuli couldn't help but feel a sense of absurdity in time and space!

After taking a sip of tea, Tang Qiuli continued to read "Plan Barbarossa." It should be admitted that the officers of the German General Staff who formulated the plan had absolutely superb military talents. This was completely different from the specific deployment of "Plan Barbarossa".

You can see it.

The specific deployment of the German plan is rigorous and scientific. The core gist still highlights the "Blitzkrieg", the German's tried and tested specialty in the wars on the European continent. Under this method of warfare, the military powers of the European continent, including France,

, there is almost no general in one round!

The specific deployment of the Germans is to concentrate 5.55 million troops from three army groups, about 4,300 tanks, more than 47,000 artillery and mortars, and 4,900 air force combat aircraft.

Eighty and one hundred and ninety-two naval combat ships launched an all-out attack on the Soviet Union from three directions.

Among them, the Northern Army Group has 29 divisions, which are spread out in the area from Klaipeda to Goudap. The Central Army Group has 50 divisions and two brigades, which stretches from Goudap to the Pripyat Swamp.

The Army Group South has fifty-seven divisions and thirteen brigades (including thirteen Romanian divisions, nine Romanian brigades and four Hungarian brigades), and is deployed from the Pripyat swamps to the Black Sea area.

.

Three army groups respectively launched attacks in the direction of Leningrad (today's St. Petersburg), Moscow and Kiev. In addition, the German Army Group and the Finnish Army in Norway, totaling 21 divisions and three brigades, respectively attacked Murmansk and

An assault was carried out in the direction of Leningrad. Each of the above-mentioned offensive forces was supported by a German air force including Finnish and Romanian aviation.

After reading all of "Project Barbarossa", Tang Qiuli closed his eyes with excitement and fell into deep thought.

This was a war that involved tens of millions of casualties and lasted for four years. It was a desperate fight between two behemoths on the European road. The process and initial results of the war will be as recorded in history.

It is undeniable that, according to the plan formulated by the German General Staff, in the early days of the war, the Germans were overwhelmingly powerful and swept across the Soviet Red Army like a hurricane.

However, several key battles became a turning point in the Soviet-German war. As a result, the invincible German army began to decline. From Tang Qiuli's own understanding, the Germans were consumed by the Soviets.

.

Blitzkrieg, for a country with a small land area, small population, and little room for strategic maneuver, was undoubtedly a fatal blow. But for a behemoth like the Soviet Union, blitzkrieg could not penetrate the heart of the Soviet people. At the beginning of the war, Germany

It can be said that the people have the upper hand. Once the Soviets wake up from their initial dizzy state, their huge land and human resources will explode with terrifying power.

The Germans were dragged to death by the Soviet Union's endless human resources on the vast territory of the Soviet Union. However, Tang Qiuli was not sure whether Hitler was aware of this. But for Hitler, who was going smoothly, he pointed out that

Can the headstrong and confident head of Germany accept the final outcome of the "Barbarossa Plan"?

Tang Qiuli realized how difficult his trip to Germany would be. It would take a lot of skill to convince Hitler to withdraw his already opened bow and re-target the British, who in the eyes of the Germans were no longer worthy of being called opponents.

In fact, Tang Qiuli knew that it was difficult to convince someone, just like himself, it was difficult to be convinced by others.

"Bang, bang, bang!" There was a gentle knock on the door of the room, and Tang Qiuli shouted without raising his head: "Come in!"

The door opened, and Mei Xue and Liu Xinlan appeared in front of them with smiles. Liu Xinlan walked into the room and wrinkled her pretty little nose and muttered: "Oh, how many cigarettes have you smoked? The whole room is filled with the smell of cigarettes.

Son!"

As he spoke, he opened the curtains and pushed open the window. Berlin's first rising sun in May suddenly shone into the room, making Tang Qiuli dizzy. He blocked the dazzling sunlight with his hands and looked at his watch. It was already past seven in the morning.

The clock was ticking, and before I knew it, I had been looking at this plan all night long.

And that night, wandering between reality and history, he suddenly saw Mei Xue and Liu Xinlan, and felt a trance. Tang Qiuli moved his stiff neck, and Mei Xue stepped forward with concern and massaged him gently.

Said: "Qiu Li, you haven't rested all night? Take care of yourself, I have already ordered you to prepare our Chinese breakfast!"

Tang Qiuli patted Mei Xue's soft little hands affectionately, smiled, and looked at Liu Xinlan's pretty figure, like a happy little pigeon, busy in the room, cleaning up the cigarette butts dropped on the carpet, the ashes on the coffee table, and her graceful body.

With a youthful rhythm, smelling the body fragrance of Mei Xue, and some wandering thoughts, I finally returned to reality.

He stood up and stretched himself comfortably, then said with a smile to Mei Xue and Liu Xinlan: "Let's go, two little housekeepers, come have breakfast with me. Don't tell me, I'm really hungry!"

Holding Mei Xue and Liu Xinlan's hands, the three of them, accompanied by Shan Hu, walked out of the room. Tang Qiuli suddenly said to Mei Xue: "Xue, please inform the German liaison officer shortly that I want to meet with their head of state this morning.

, ask him to make arrangements!"
