"Making deals with the Soviet Union? That country is not a good place. A country that thinks about exporting revolution to other countries all day long. We are too late to prevent them, and you actually want to make deals with them." Sickert in the office.
, as soon as he heard that Zhang Chengtian planned to contact the Soviet Union and exchange advanced German technology to develop weapons and train soldiers in the land of the red regime, he immediately expressed his opposition.
After all, European countries have always been wary of the Soviet Union, a behemoth that inherited the vast land of Tsarist Russia. In addition, the Soviet Union had continuously launched wars in the past in an attempt to export revolution. Most German generals, including Sickert,
Naturally, the Soviet Union was placed on the opposite side.
In fact, Sickert's concept at the time can be said to be very correct.
For the Soviet Union, which was vigorously exporting revolution, Germany was the key, because Germany had always been regarded as the center of Europe. Officials at all levels of the Soviet Union believed: "Once Germany is won, other European countries will be unable to survive and will inevitably be conquered."
As for the route to Germany, Poland is the only place to pass. In order to stimulate revolution in Western Europe, Soviet leaders also tried to defeat Germany, which was greatly weakened after World War I. They were full of daydreams about the prospects. They believed that after winning against Poland, they would be weakened.
Germany in the future will also inevitably fail. It is not impossible to achieve revolutionary victory throughout Europe!
As the supreme leader, Lenin even said in public: "The revolution cannot be limited to Russia. Only by uniting many other countries to defeat international capital can we successfully carry the revolution to the end and achieve absolute victory."
For this close neighbor that poses a great threat and can even be said to be incompatible with Germany, Sickert can't figure out how Zhang Chengtian could suddenly have the idea to make a deal with the Soviet Union.
Although Zhang Chengtian respects Sickert very much, on this matter, Zhang Chengtian is not willing to give in either publicly or privately.
Yu Gong said that if Germany did not secretly develop new weapons in the Soviet Union and train the air force banned in the Treaty of Versailles, then it would be absolutely impossible for Germany to rise internationally in the future!
Yu Private said that if the Soviet Union did not develop military industry, how would Zhang Chengtian, the boss behind Rheinland Corporation who would vigorously acquire major future German military industry groups, make money?
Zhang Chengtian, who had long regarded Sickert as his military theory teacher, respectfully replied, "Teacher, the Soviet Union has indeed been trying to export revolution to Europe. But because of this, the relations between European countries and the Soviet Union are very cold, and the Soviet Union
It is not a party to the Treaty of Versailles. If there is one country in Europe that can bypass the Treaty of Versailles and help Germany train elite troops and develop weapons, then I think this country can only be the Soviet Union."
Sickert, who had long regarded Zhang Chengtian as his disciple, did not mince words and patiently taught Zhang Chengtian, "Reinhardt, your analysis of the situation may make sense. But you did not consider it from the Soviet perspective! The Soviet Union did help us hide this."
Britain and France have the capabilities, but they have no need to help us! Moreover, the current Soviet Union is also a big threat to us. As far as I know, once the Soviet Union ends the war against Poland, their next target will be Germany. We cannot
Counting on the help of a future enemy."
Sickert is indeed qualified enough to be Zhang Chengtian's teacher in the military. But when it comes to politics, Sickert is definitely not more far-sighted than Zhang Chengtian, who knows the future.
Zhang Chengtian, who was full of confidence, supported Sickert's desk with one hand and said with a smile, "Teacher, the Soviet Union may indeed be our enemy in the future. But this future period is at least 20 years later! If nothing else, let's talk about the Soviet Union.
This attack on Warsaw, the capital of Poland, is almost certain to fail. Teacher, aren’t you also very unfavorable to the Soviet attack?”
"Oh?" Hearing that his disciple was talking about the military, Sickert decided to take the opportunity to test Zhang Chengtian's current military level. "Then tell me, how come the Soviet attack is bound to fail?"
Knowing that Sickert was testing him, Zhang Chengtian did not shirk. After combining his later understanding of this period of history, Zhang Chengtian gave his own analysis: "First of all, the Soviet army's slow logistics transportation is out of touch with the front line. The troops on the front line take
Without sufficient supplies, the morale and combat effectiveness of the Polish army will not be stronger than that of the Polish army defending the homeland."
Sickert did not interrupt Zhang Chengtian, but made a continue gesture.
"Second, the Soviet commander Tukhachevski, known as the 'Red Napoleon', had previously failed to encircle and annihilate the Polish 1st and 4th Army. As a result, the two Polish armies fighting on the mainland were able to replenish their forces and invest in the Warsaw area.
Coupled with the new 5th Army that French consultants helped Poland build, the Polish army will be able to gather a total of more than 100,000 troops in Warsaw." Zhang Chengtian analyzed the battle situation that Sickert told him some time ago, and after his own understanding
A preliminary judgment on Poland's military strength was obtained.
"Red Napoleon, this title is a bit interesting." Obviously, Zhang Chengtian's analysis of the battle situation has not impressed Sickert. That's why Sickert focused on Tukhachevsky's nickname instead of Zhang Chengtian's military strength.
Speculation.
Zhang Chengtian, who did not see this, was lucky and flattered him: "Red Napoleon is nothing. Even if Napoleon himself comes, he can't compare to your military talents, teacher."
"Ahem, don't change the subject. Continue to talk about the basis for your belief that the Soviet Union will be defeated." Hearing Zhang Chengtian's praise, Sickert couldn't help but blush. He is a student who is good at everything and is willing to work hard, but he just doesn't know.
Why do you like to flatter people so much? However, Sickert did feel happy that Zhang Chengtian described himself as a general who surpassed Napoleon. After all, Napoleon's military talents were recognized by the military, but he had never had the opportunity to display them in his early years.
Talent, unknown. The only outstanding sniper battle occurred when Turkey was defeated. All the glory was overshadowed by the incompetent defeat of the Turkish army.
After displaying the wisdom from the exchanges from the East, Zhang Chengtian did not keep Sickert waiting, and immediately came up with practical information: "The biggest mistake of the Soviet army was its excessive pursuit of capturing Warsaw as soon as possible, thus stretching its own army. In the end,
The fast Cossack cavalry has approached the outskirts of Warsaw, while many of the slow infantry are still in Ukraine. The Soviet army has been partially suppressed by the Polish army in Warsaw. The logistics cannot keep up, and the troops are suppressed again.'Red
Napoleon probably didn't have the ability to win this battle. Once the Soviet Union was defeated by Poland in Warsaw, the new regime would be greatly shaken."
"Yes, the various deficiencies of the Soviet army may not be obvious when they are fighting a favorable battle, but once they fail, with chaotic army composition and poor logistics... the Soviet Union will be unable to organize a second large-scale offensive."
Sickert finally heard the key points he wanted to hear. In Sickert's opinion, this was also the result of his military training of Zhang Chengtian over a period of time.
Seeing Sickert showing a satisfied smile, Zhang Chengtian proposed his last trump card to contact the Soviet Union: "According to my prediction, after the Soviet Union's disastrous defeat in the Battle of Warsaw, all of its 4th Army and part of its 15th Army will be forced to withdraw.
Enter East Prussia and disarm. This is the best gift we can give to the Soviet Union for cooperation."
"You can even predict this step!" Sickert was surprised by Zhang Chengtian's prediction. Although this kind of prediction is in line with battlefield logic, it is too precise and the accuracy is unconvincing. "What you said
It’s just a possibility, and it’s not impossible if the two Soviet armies choose to break through.”
Seeing that the momentum was good, Zhang Chengtian immediately used his prophet to set a trap for Sickert, "Teacher, I think it might as well be like this. If the two Soviet armies are disarmed in East Prussia as I predict, then you can find a way to arrange it secretly
Use this meeting gift to help me contact the Soviet Union as a partner. How about that?"
"If your prediction is really accurate to this point, it means that you have this foresight and I will support your plan. Once your prediction is not accurate, then don't engage in those crooked ways and help me with peace of mind.
Streamline the Wehrmacht." In this way, Sickert fell into the trap set by his students based on prophetic intelligence for the first time.
