Age of Rebirth

April [-], [-], for the Germans, was a carnival after victory, another absolutely important goal of Hitler's conquest, but certainly not the last. For the Soviets, the flames of war were burning in the On one's own land, it was the beginning of deep suffering. It was Stalin's retribution for China's land greed.

As far as Tang Qiuli's role was concerned, he was suspected to be the direct catalyst of the Soviet-German war, a participant in the formulation of specific campaign plans, and even changed the direction of the Soviet-German war, and even the final outcome. Hitler adopted his suggestion , can avoid the failure that determined the fate of Germany in history.

Obviously, the great surprise of the smooth and successful raid on the Soviet Union made all the leaders of the German party, government and military in the office of the German head of state Hitler overjoyed. Goebbels, the Nazi propaganda minister, slapped Hitler heavily An extremely comfortable flattery greatly satisfied the vanity of the show-loving Führer, while others expressed their ecstatic mood in another way.

Paul, the national deputy commander of the SS who never drank alcohol?Admiral Schulenburg kept shouting: "Guards! Guards! Go get a bottle of good whiskey right away. I'm going to make an exception and have a few drinks with the Führer today!"

Several other soldiers also clamored for wine. Hitler smiled and said: "Gentlemen, there is no restriction in front of the victor. Let's make an exception today and let us drink to our heart's content!"

Goebbels was busy writing the broadcast, and Hitler rubbed his hands excitedly. After walking around the room a few times, he told Chief of General Staff Feng ?Marshal Strong said: "My dear Strong, this good news should be known to my old friend Tang Qiuli, yes, you must let him know, and you will send a telegram immediately to send our huge News of victory, inform him, and let old friends share the joy of victory with us!"

At around nine o'clock in the morning on April [-]th, Tang Qiuli, who lives in Saiyinshanda in the south of Outer Mongolia, came outside the house with a very relaxed expression, watching the snowflakes all over the sky, falling profusely, and Saiyinshanda was shrouded in a snowstorm Among them, this heavy snow has added a lot of difficulties to the troops directly under the corps lurking on the two wings of the Soviet Outer Mongolian Front Army. weather.

But for Vasilevsky, the difficulty is even greater. On the way to retreat, covered by heavy snow, the Soviet army will struggle, which greatly slows down the marching speed. For the Soviet army eager to return to the direction of Europe, this is fatal. Well, what the Soviets lack most now is time. Perhaps, at this moment, he has not received a telegram from Moscow and is deploying an offensive operation, right?

Chief of Staff Zhao Yuhe, with snowflakes on his head, came to Tang Qiuli with a telegram, and said with a smile, "Master, Germany has been attacking the Soviet Union for more than three hours, and there is nothing you can do. Guess, the Germans have telegraphed!"

Tang Qiuli raised his head, closed his eyes slightly, and let flakes of snowflakes fall on his face. A cold chill appeared on his chest, but it made him feel very comfortable, "Oh? Hitler said What happened? Could it be some good news?" He asked casually.

Zhao Yuhe looked very relaxed, and replied: "Master, you guessed right, the German General Staff sent us a battle report, the German raid operation achieved unprecedented success, the German troops attacking from all directions, encountered The resistance is extremely weak. In the three hours since the start of the war, the average advance of more than [-] kilometers in the Soviet Union is at present. At present, the German troops continue to attack in depth into the Soviet Union!"

After a slight pause, Zhao Yuhe continued: "The German telegrams are full of complacency and showing off, but from my personal point of view, this is just the beginning of the war. The army is not the main force, the muscles and bones of the Soviet army are not injured, the main force is still there, and the battle is in full swing. Next, there will be a few decisive battles. Only then will the outcome be known. The Germans are now Guan Xiangqing, is it too early?"

Tang Qiuli opened his eyes, with a vague smile on the corner of his mouth, walked into the house, looked at Zhao Yuhe, raised his eyebrows slightly, "Oh, Yuhe, is that how you see it?" His The tone was very light, but Zhao Yuhe still heard a different meaning from it.

Zhao Yuhe paused slightly in his footsteps, thought for a while, and replied a little cautiously: "Yes, sir, I think so. The Soviet Union's war potential is undoubtedly huge. The German attack did not give the Soviet army In addition, the vast territory of the Soviet Union has great room for strategic maneuvering. As the German army continues to penetrate into the interior of the Soviet Union, the vast territory will dilute the strength of the German army and continue to weaken the momentum of the German army’s offensive.”

Tang Qiuli took off the military coat on his waist, and did not comment on Zhao Yuhe's words, but continued to ask: "That's all, is there any more?" There was no contempt or impatience in his tone, but more Meaning of encouragement!

Zhao Yuhe let go of his thoughts, and Quan thought that he was discussing a purely military strategic issue with the division commander, "Of course it's more than that. The German offensive, under the influence of the Soviet Union's huge strategic maneuvering space, cannot be maintained. In the early stage of the war, the German army would win many times, and the Soviet army would suffer heavy losses. However, as long as Stalin survived the most difficult stage in the early stage, the Soviet Union's land area, huge population base, and highly centralized national politics, and the war Potential, it will kill the Germans!"

Speaking of this, Zhao Yuhe suddenly chuckled, "However, Commander, if Stalin made a series of mistakes in military command, this advantage would be exhausted prematurely when the German offensive was in full swing. It's really hard to say whether it will win or lose with the Soviet Union!"

Tang Qiuli laughed, and said half-jokingly: "Yuhe, after being the chief of staff for several years, I have quite a lot of experience. You have already said both the victory and the defeat, and you are firmly invincible, ah !--Hahaha!"

Zhao Yuhe blushed a little, and could hear the teasing in the teacher's tone, and there was some debate, but Tang Qiuli changed the subject, "Yuhe, you talked about the Outer Mongolia Front Army, is there any new action?"

Zhao Yuhe replied: "No, the three group armies of the vanguard continued to march towards Saiyinshanda according to the original plan. Because of the heavy snow, the number of sorties dispatched by our combat aircraft was reduced, and the advance speed of the Soviet army was slower than that of the Soviet army. It was obviously much faster a few days ago!"

With a sarcastic smile on the corner of Tang Qiuli's mouth, he said to Zhao Yuhe, "Well, there is nothing new, Yuhe, remind the troops on the two wings to pay attention to hidden tracks, and also, pay close attention to the movements of the Soviet army, go get busy Bar!"

Zhao Yuhe left, and Tang Qiuli was the only one left in the room, looking very quiet. When he walked to the front, the howling northwest wind had subsided. Looking at the numerous snowflakes, rendering the world into chaos, it seemed You can hear the slight "swipe" sound when the snowflakes fall to the ground.

Tang Qiuli's thoughts returned to the conversation with Zhao Yuhe just now. Zhao Yuhe was right. The war potential of the Soviet Union is absolutely huge. If the direction of history is still the same as before, following the old There is a trajectory to move forward, and the defeat of the Germans is only a matter of time.

However, since I have intervened, this major event that affects the entire world structure, the direction of history, has changed. First, the German offensive period was two and a half months earlier than recorded in history. Second, the war From the very beginning, elite troops were dispatched to seize the Transcaucasus oil fields of the Soviet Union. This was also historically unprecedented after Germany attacked the Soviet Union. [

However, in the second year of the war, the German offensive, amidst the increasing resistance of the Soviet army, had lost its vigor at the beginning of the war. The Soviet Union's war potential had already emerged. Hitler felt that, Germany's resources were gradually unable to cope with the huge consumption of the Soviet Union's war, and only then did it come to mind to seize the Soviet Union's oil resources for its own use, but it was too late.

Stalin also saw the key xng problem. He deployed heavy troops around the Transcaucasus oil fields. The German army did not get close to the Caucasus oil fields until the defeat. In Tang Qiuli's view, at the beginning of the war, the Soviet Union's oil bases were not seized. The Caucasus oil field was the main factor for the German army’s defeat of the Soviet Union. The weather and the potential for war were the second most important factor. In the Soviet-German war, Germany fought a large-scale mechanized corps, which quickly advanced, outflanked and outflanked, and depended on oil. extremely high.

Seizing the Caucasus oil fields can not only supplement the German army's oil needs, but also cut off the blood vessels of the Soviet army. A surprise soldier quickly seized the original intention of the Caucasus oil fields in the Soviet Union.

I remember that at that time, Hitler was still very disapproving, thinking that the Caucasus oil field area was not an important military fortress of the Soviet Union, nor was it a political and economic intensive area of ​​the Soviet Union. A Moscow or Stalingrad.

Hitler's greatest interest was in capturing the important cities of the Soviet Union, especially Moscow. In his view, the occupation of Moscow meant that the Soviet Union had been defeated. Tang Qiuli subdued Hitler with just a few words.

"Your Excellency, if you want me to participate in this plan, then, to occupy the Caucasus oilfield area of ​​the Soviet Union, you must send the most elite troops to implement it at the beginning of the war, otherwise, I am not interested in this plan!"

The fire in the stove sizzled, and it was exceptionally clear in the silent room, pulling Tang Qiuli's thoughts back to reality, "Now, I am afraid that the news of the German attack on the Soviet Union has already reached Moscow. ?” he thought to himself.
