In the Battle of Budapest, as long as the Germans were captured or voluntarily surrendered, most of them were shot immediately, with few exceptions.
Those responsible for guarding Vienna, whether it is the 2nd SS Reich Division, the 3rd SS Totenkopf Division, and the Führer Grenadier Division, are all on the Russian army's must-kill list. Even if they surrender, they will not escape death, so even if the Austrian official
Vienna was declared an undefended city through radio broadcasts. The Russian army still encountered greater resistance, in stark contrast to the Allied forces on the southern front.
Roque's purpose is also very simple. Vienna cannot be captured and will probably be occupied by the Russian army.
After the Southern Front Allied forces entered Austria, their only purpose was to occupy as much Austrian territory as possible and compete with the Russians for territory.
Big Beard was not satisfied with the progress of the Russian army. He originally hoped to use the performance of the Russian army on the battlefield to gain more benefits for Russia.
Unexpectedly, compared with the Allied forces on the southern front, the Russian army was once again hindered in Vienna. This made the bearded man very dissatisfied. He proposed to adjourn the meeting for a day to adjust the deployment of the Russian army.
The bearded man was also too anxious. The Russian side was responsible for attacking Vienna, and it was the Second and Third Ukrainian Fronts. These two fronts did not get sufficient rest time after the Battle of Budapest, and many troops did not even have time to recruit new troops.
He rushed into a new attack and was very poorly prepared.
The Allied forces on the Southern Front have been resting in Italy for nearly a year since Italy surrendered. During this period, no large-scale battles have broken out. The morale of the troops is high, the logistics are sufficient, and they are more prepared than the Russians.
The bearded man's response was to increase his troops.
In addition to the Second and Third Fronts, the troops attacking Vienna also included the First Bulgarian Army and the First Hungarian Army established after the Battle of Budapest.
In order to better relieve the pressure, Beard did not mobilize new troops from the country to go to Vienna. Instead, he mobilized an army group from Yugoslavia. This made Rock, Roosevelt, and Winston also begin to doubt Russia's war capabilities.
It's right to think about it. No matter how great Russia's war potential is, with a population of less than 200 million, there will always be a limit.
Including the Russian army before the outbreak of the war, Russia has mobilized 29.6 million troops so far. Russia now has about 11 million troops, which is probably the limit of Russia.
"So, does this mean that Russia now has no troops to conquer?" Winston's eyes flashed with a dangerous light. This guy never gave up force to stop Russia's expansion.
Although Russia's 11 million troops are terrifying, the Allies are not weak either. If the war in East Asia can be ended as soon as possible and the East Asian Allied forces are transferred to the Mediterranean, then the Allies will have an absolute advantage.
In Winston's opinion, this may be the best chance to defeat Russia.
If this opportunity is missed, Russia will regain its strength in another twenty years, and the allies will not be able to maintain such a large military scale.
The key point is that the two world wars had a huge impact on the countries participating in the war.
France is the best example.
In World War I, France was the main battlefield. After the war, it owed Britain 3 billion pounds, owed Southern Africa 8 billion rand, and owed the United States $5 billion.
I originally expected to extort a compensation payment from Germany, which would bring back some blood.
As a result, the reparations repaid by the Germans were not even as large as the French capital's investment in Germany. The French came to their senses and calculated their own accounts, and the joint author could only compensate but not make any profit.
Then World War II broke out, and France quickly stopped resisting.
Winston now doubts whether Britain will participate in the war if there are three more wars.
I really can't afford it.
"Not necessarily. Every time a battle in Russia ends, local people will be recruited to join the army and form a new army group to participate in the war. This is a common practice." Roosevelt was not sure. Russia is a magical country and can always surprise people.
"Winston, even if the Russians' war potential has been exhausted, it is impossible for us to launch a war against Russia. No one can bear this result." Rock shattered Winston's illusions. Southern Africa will not learn from the French.
, in order to defend "human civilization", he sacrificed his own country.
The Russians suffered great losses, but their gains were equally great, taking almost all of Eastern Europe and Poland into their pockets. Therefore, Russia is getting stronger and stronger now, and Rock is not willing to confront Russia head-on.
Roosevelt was even more reluctant. He came to Yalta to reap the fruits of victory, not to quarrel with Russia.
"Gentlemen, this is the last opportunity. If we miss this opportunity, we will pay ten times or even a hundred times the price of solving the Russian threat in the future." Winston did not insist. British style alone cannot fight against Russia.
Must pull up southern Africa and the United States.
So Rock doesn't nod to Russia, and even if Winston hates the Russians, he still has to sit down and negotiate with the bearded man.
"Winston, wealth is not accumulated by plunder, but created by hands--" Rock seized the moral high ground.
The British way of accumulating wealth was not through plunder.
What the other bearded man said is very correct, when capital comes to the world, every pore is dripping with dirty blood.
"Come on, Locke, southern Africa is walking on the same path that the British Empire once walked, and no one has the right to blame anyone." Winston didn't take it, everyone is imperialist, and no one should imitate Russia.
"Actually, Locke is right. Next, we must be more accustomed to using competition to solve problems instead of war." Roosevelt studied Locke a lot, and his understanding of Locke was probably better than Winston's.
"Competition with Russia means that we have to increase more social welfare, bear more expenditures, increase taxes, and use the rich's money to subsidize the poor. How should we convince the rich in the country to agree to bear higher taxes?"
What about taxes?” It’s not that Winston doesn’t understand, but he can’t apply what he’s learned.
In the current situation in the UK, if Winston does not increase taxes, the country will be like a cauldron about to boil, and its position will be in jeopardy.
If Winston raises taxes, he will be kicked out of office in a matter of minutes.
"Just make a phone call—" Rock winked at Roosevelt, and they both laughed.
For Winston, raising taxes could lead to catastrophe.
But for Roque, raising taxes is really simple, because Roque himself is the richest man in southern Africa. As long as Roque can get Stoudemire and Henry to agree, other people's opinions don't matter.
"Well, I don't have the same control as you." Winston admitted defeat. Even if he accepted the title of Duke of Renton, he would not have the same influence as Roque.
Neither did Roosevelt, but Roosevelt was not too worried about this problem, because by the time the United States needs to face competition from Russia, Roosevelt should no longer be the president of the United States. This issue should be left to the president of the United States at that time.
Big Beard adjusted quickly, and the meeting continued one day later.
In previous meetings, some of the meeting issues have been resolved, including the punishment of Germany, the treatment of Poland, and the war in the Far East.
Winston brought up old matters again, hoping that Russia could mobilize troops from the European battlefield as soon as possible to participate in the war in the Far East.
Big Beard's attitude is still resolute. Before the war in Europe ends, Big Beard will not dispatch troops from Europe to fight in the Far East.
Moreover, Big Beard also demanded that once Russia joins the war in the Far East, Russia must regain the power it lost in the Russo-Japanese War.
This aroused the opposition of Roque. Roque did not want Russia to return to the Far East. For this reason, Roque even rejected the Bearded Man's proposal to participate in the Japanese mainland war.
The situation in Japan is also very clear now. As the intensity of the Allied offensive increases day by day, it will be a matter of time before Japan surrenders.
Through Poland, Big Beard tasted the sweetness of war, but just taking back Sakhalin could no longer satisfy Big Beard's ambition.
"More than 800,000 people have landed in Japan, and Kyushu Island is all under our control. We are currently working hard to control the plague outbreak on Kyushu Island. This plague was actively spread by the Japanese government," Roque told the reporter.
The meeting reported on progress in the Far East and also warned the bearded man that if Russian troops landed on Japanese soil, they would also face indiscriminate attacks from the Japanese government.
Before the outbreak of the landing war, the Japanese government claimed that it would spread the plague virus all over Kyushu, so that every Allied officer and soldier who landed could feel Japan's level of disease research.
The Japanese government did it, and without evacuating in advance, it not only effectively prevented the Allied attack, but also caused the death of a large number of civilians. The entire Kyushu was littered with corpses and starved people. The death toll has exceeded one
Millions of people.
After this situation was reported by reporters accompanying the army, the whole world was shocked.
We all know that the Japanese are very cruel.
But even Rock didn't expect that the Japanese would be so cruel that they would not even spare their own people, and actively let Japanese civilians act as carriers to spread diseases to the Allied forces.
Before the launch of the "Olympic Plan", the United States predicted that the Allied casualties could reach up to 2 million if it landed on the Japanese mainland.
Rock once believed that this data was misleading. The Japanese should not be so capable of causing such heavy casualties to the Allies.
Now it seems that Rock still underestimated the Japanese. Unless the Allies also implement the three-guang policy that the Japanese are best at on the Japanese mainland, casualties will be inevitable.
"I have long said that those dwarfs are all lunatics and they all deserve to go to hell." The bearded man never forgets the Russo-Japanese War and always keeps revenge in mind.
"We are doing this. What we should discuss now is how to make those responsible for the war pay the price after the war is over." Roque did not forget to hold accountable. Some people have already paid the price, but there are still many people who have paid the price.
There are more people on the loose.
"Set up an international court, review and approve those people, and then hang them all." Big Beard's attitude in this regard is similar to Roque's.
If Russians are allowed to serve as judges, all war criminals may not be spared and all will be brought to justice.
This result can be seen from the fate of the Germans who surrendered on the battlefield.
If an American were to be the judge, the consequences would be unpredictable. For example, if Werner von Braun, who was in charge of German rocket research, fell into the hands of the Americans, he would probably escape postwar accountability.
Von Braun is the chief designer of the V2 rocket. From June last year to February this year, Germany launched a total of 15,000 V1 missiles and 3,000 V2 missiles to attack the British mainland, killing about 31,000 British people.
Although von Braun has outstanding talent in rocketry, von Braun is still on the British must-kill list. If he falls into the hands of the British, von Braun will also be tried.
Only by surrendering to the Americans, von Braun might be able to bring his V2 rocket with him and gain a chance of survival.
Although von Braun's V2 rocket did not cause any losses to Southern Africa, because Southern Africa has more talents in this area, it does not pay too much attention to von Braun, and may even take von Braun too seriously.
·Braun was handed over to the British.
It was not just von Braun. Before the Americans entered the war, they made a list of some of the most important scientists in Germany. One of the purposes of the U.S. military's participation in the war was to bring these scientists and their research results back to the United States.
.
The V2 rocket is what the United States dreams of, and a large number of German nuclear physicists are also on the list of Americans.
"Some of them may be able to atone for their sins in another way. They did not serve Germany wholeheartedly and were not directly responsible for the war." Roosevelt took the initiative to defend the actions of the US military. Coincidentally, Rock thought the same.
After the end of the last world war, Southern Africa almost moved the entire German industrial base to Southern Africa when Britain and France met in Paris.
With Germany's selfless help, Southern Africa has completed an industrial upgrade and has since begun to transform from a large industrial country to an industrial power.
This time Rock was also curious about how many good things the Germans had developed, from jet aircraft to rockets. Rock was really curious about the Germans' "black technology."
USA--
For a long time, Rock has never paid attention to the scientific research capabilities of the United States.
"Most of them are people who are obsessed with research and focus on science, and technology is the first driving force for the progress of civilized society." Rock also agreed to treat them differently.
Of course, there is no need to treat Japanese biologists differently. Let them go to hell to study the plague.
"I remember that we had discussed this issue a few days ago. At that time, we agreed to carry out a thorough liquidation of war criminals without any exceptions." The bearded man was not very satisfied with the attitude of Roark and Roosevelt. Didn't we just agree a few days ago?
Of?
"Yes, we did say -" Roosevelt was a little embarrassed. He agreed in principle, but in specific cases, there must be exceptions.
"So we need to determine the standards for war criminals. Some scientific researchers have never left the office since the war broke out. They should not be treated as war criminals -" Rock certainly did not admit that after the outbreak of the world war, southern Africa changed from Europe to
