Iron Germany

Time goes back to March 1940, although the European continent is still covered with ice and snow. But the breath of spring has gradually arrived. The German army, which had been dormant for a winter, also began to mobilize.

After entering the winter last year, the German army transferred its main force from the first-line positions to the second-line positions for rest, and transferred the armies of the protectorate and slave countries to the first-line positions to consume the vital strength of the Russian army.

Although the Russian army also launched an offensive in the ice and snow, but suffered heavy losses, it still failed to break through the German defense line. This also further weakened the vitality of the Russian army.

However, after a winter of mobilization, the strength of the Russian army has also swelled to its peak. Even lost a lot of troops last year. But now the Russian army still has more than 10 million troops. Compared with the German army, such a huge army is naturally much more than the German army. However, if the German army is counted with the army of the slave country, it is no less than the Russian army, and even more dominant.

In addition, the troops lost by the Russian army last year were almost all elite main forces. Even though a larger army was formed later, the loss of elites made the combat effectiveness of the Russian army drop a lot. Even with the supplement of T-34 tanks and KV-1 and KV-2 tanks, compared with the German army, there is still a big gap in their combat effectiveness. In the case of some second-line troops, the combat effectiveness is even not much different from that of the German servant army.

For Germany, the European battlefield was undoubtedly the main battlefield at the beginning of the war. Only after the demise of Bu Russia can Germany ensure its absolute security on the European continent. Only in that way can the power of the whole country be gathered to compete with enemies such as the United States and island countries for victory in the world battlefield. Therefore, Germany must gather its main forces at the beginning of the war to defeat Bu Russia in one fell swoop.

1940 was undoubtedly a critical year for the war between Germany and Russia. Before the winter of last year and during the winter war, Germany caused extremely heavy losses to Bu Russia. And this year, Germany hopes to seize the period from spring to autumn to wipe out the main force of the Russian army in one fell swoop. In this case, Russia will be powerless. From this winter to next year, the German army only needs to leave a small number of troops in Bu Russia, and then cooperate with the servant army to wipe out the remaining forces of Bu Russia in one fell swoop.

It is precisely because of this that the imperial emperor Qin Tian attached great importance to this year, which is related to whether Germany can quickly obtain the victory they want on the Russian battlefield.

Of course, the Russian side also knows this. Throughout the winter, Joseph summoned the marshals and generals of the Russian army many times, demanding that they must resist the German army's attack this year anyway, crush the German army's offensive, and defeat the German army in one fell swoop.

Although, Joseph still has confidence in the strength of the Russian army. But he knew that compared with the German army, the strength of the Russian army was too weak. If you want to defeat the German army, it will be very difficult. Therefore, if the Russian army cannot win this year, what awaits them may be a complete failure. Joseph didn't want their country to be destroyed. In that case, what awaits him is probably death.

At the end of March, Imperial Emperor Qin Tian visited the Army General Staff to listen to the combat plans of the Imperial Army and Air Force. The commanders of the army groups at the front, and the commanders of the armies, all returned to Berlin one after another.

"Everyone, in the past six months, we have caused the Russians to suffer a lot and caused them to lose a lot of vitality. It can be said that most of the elite troops of the Russian Army have been wiped out by us. However, we have to admit The fact is that the huge population of Russia makes them have a very large number of troops. According to the exact information we have obtained, the total strength of the Russian Army has now risen to 10 million people. Moreover, the mobilization of Russia is still going on. They are planning Mobilize the elderly, children, and even women, arm them, and send them to the battlefield. In that case, the total strength of the Russian Army may have to increase by five million! Therefore, we must not take Russia lightly and despise Russia. Otherwise, we will pay a very high price! I don't want any accidents on the Russian battlefield. I think everyone knows what it will mean if we fail on the Russian battlefield!" Qin Tianyian said seriously Said.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" A group of marshals and generals replied solemnly. They all know very well that once the German army really fails on the battlefield of Bu Russia, what awaits them may be the collapse of the empire. Those servant countries and protectorates are now fighting for Germany. But in fact, they are all fools. When Germany was strong, they fought behind Germany's ass. But if Germany loses, they will definitely turn against each other without saying a word.

Without the support of the slave country, relying on the German army alone would not have any advantage in military strength. In addition, Germany has so many enemies. At that time, there will definitely be a lot of people who will make trouble.

"Everyone, this year is undoubtedly a critical year for the empire. I hope that the imperial army can wipe out the main force of the Russian army in one fell swoop in this year's war! In this case, by next year at the latest, we will be able to Russia will be destroyed in one fell swoop. Only then will we be able to free up our hands to deal with other enemies!" Qin Tian continued.

"Your Majesty, the Empire will definitely be able to accomplish the planned combat objectives!" said Marshal Manstein, Minister of War and Chief of the General Staff.

Qin Tian nodded, although he also knew that there might be some difficulties. But generally speaking, with the current strength of the German army, it should not be a big problem to complete this predetermined combat goal. Otherwise, wouldn't the decades of his rebirth be wasted?

"According to the information we have obtained, in the past winter, Bu Russia received a lot of support. They also served some new weapons, such as the Army's T-34 tank, KV-1 tank, Air Force's Yak-1 fighter jet, etc. etc. Although there is still a big gap between these weapons and ours, we have to admit that these weapons can already pose a certain threat to us. T-34 tanks, KV-2 Tanks can pose a certain threat to our Tiger and Leopard tanks. Yak-1 fighter jets can also threaten our air force fighters. It can be seen that our enemies are also making rapid progress. If we don't hurry up, They will make greater progress. At that time, if we want to defeat them, I am afraid we will have to pay a greater price!" Qin Tian said with a serious face.
