Reinhardt has been very happy recently, because everything has been going according to his expectations.
The "British-French alliance with Poland to attack Germany" theory, which once had a large market, has now completely disappeared.
Not only was Germany not attacked from both sides, but Poland was trapped in a desperate situation of fighting on two fronts.
The German troops on the western front were unstoppable, and the Soviet army on the eastern front had also completely opened up the situation. Under the command of Timoshenko, they were advancing in the direction of Warsaw.
To the southwest of Warsaw, Rundstedt's Army Group South severely damaged the two Polish armies of "Lodz" and "Cracow" and occupied the Polish industrial center of Lodz and the second largest city of Krakow.
Under Lundstedt's dispatch, the 10th Army and the 16th Armored Corps of Army Group South had already reached the southern suburbs of Warsaw, cutting off the Polish "Poznań" Army Group's retreat from the south.
At the same time, Bock's Northern Army Group also completely annihilated the Polish Army "Pomere" and severely damaged the Polish "Modelin" Army. Through the operation of forcibly crossing the Vistula River, it opened the road to Warsaw from the north.
Now, Reinhard has telegraphed the Warsaw authorities and ordered the Warsaw authorities to surrender within 12 hours.
On the other hand, the Battle of Nomenkan, which Reinhard tried every means to postpone, broke out on a large scale without any warning just when the Soviet army had finally opened up the Western Front.
The Soviet Union and Japan sent a total of hundreds of thousands of troops to engage in fierce battles in the Nomenkan area.
Judging from the report of the German Military Observation Mission, the Soviet army did not fight easily, and the Japanese army was also exhausted.
If there had not been a sneak attack by the Japanese Kwantung Army on the Soviet Union, the Soviets would definitely have been tougher at the negotiation table to divide Poland in the future.
But now, the Soviet Union, which is locked in a two-front war, must not offend Germany again after defeating Poland. Facing the requirements put forward by the German government, Stalin, the Soviet leader, will inevitably satisfy them as much as possible.
Otherwise, the Soviet Union will face the risk of being attacked by Germany and Japan. This is something that no wise leader wants to see.
After all, the German army's superior combat effectiveness is obvious to all, and the Japanese army's suicide attack is a headache.
Rather than being enemies with these two countries at the same time, it is definitely better to defeat the relatively weaker Japanese army first, and then turn around to guard against the German army.
Also, judging from the news returned by the German observation mission, the commander of the Soviet Union’s troops dispatched to the Far East is still the Soviet “firefighting captain” General Zhukov.
The information obtained by the German Security Observer Group confirmed from the side that Reinhardt's action of framing Zhukov was a failure.
This fact alerted the smug Reinhardt and made him cautious again because of the existence of Zhukov, his future enemy.
Since there is no way to weaken the level of local generals, the only way is to further train and strengthen the strength of our own generals!
"Here comes someone!" Reinhardt sat behind the office desk, took out a plan that had been there for a long time from the drawer, and signed his name crookedly.
"Yes." A female confidential secretary quickly came in and took the plan document handed over by Reinhardt. At the same time, she reported to Reinhardt, "The head of state, Chief of Staff Halder is asking for an audience outside the door.
.”
Under Reinhardt's promotion, women have been recruited into many positions within the government to free up more men to join the military. And many women like this confidential secretary have proven through actions that they are also
Able to do the job assigned to you.
"Please invite him in quickly." Reinhard waved his hand gently.
Halder, who walked into Reinhardt's office, didn't say anything nonsense. He stood at attention and saluted Reinhardt as soon as he entered the door: "My Führer! The two major army groups on the Eastern Front have already joined forces in Warsaw. Now is the time.
When you need to make an urgent decision."
The decision Halder refers to refers to the frontline army's request for instructions on the specific goals of the next action.
At this moment, the German army on the Eastern Front had a total of two options to choose from.
The first item is to deal a heavy blow to the Polish army's morale and will to resist by quickly conquering Warsaw. This will be conducive to the quick conclusion of the Polish campaign.
The second item is to allow the Polish army, which has shown signs of retreating eastward, to withdraw from Warsaw and then encircle and annihilate it. This will reduce the difficulty of the German army's operations.
"I know what you want to say." Reinhard waved his hand lightly, motioning for Halder to sit down.
Then, Reinhard stared at Halder who was sitting opposite his desk seriously: "Since our army launched a blitz attack on the north and south wings, there have been very few losses along the way. The only huge loss was less than one.
The size of the division. Moreover, through their losses, we obtained the total annihilation of the last elite of the Polish army..."
Having said this, Reinhard paused deliberately, and then raised his voice after a few seconds: "However, a beautiful battle loss exchange ratio is not our real goal! Our ultimate goal is victory, quickly.
A great victory!”
The Battle of Warsaw was the final decisive battle. If the German army wanted a quick victory, they would have to face a brutal urban assault.
And quick victory is the route that is truly most suitable for Germany today!
Once the Soviet army completely defeated the Kwantung Army that sneaked up on them in the east and relieved its worries, it would be ten times more difficult for the German army, which had just won at that time, to obtain more benefits from the Soviet Union than it is now!
The main force of the Polish army, originally used to defend Warsaw, had been surrounded and annihilated by Manstein's baiting tactics in the Buzula River counterattack with Army Group South.
At this time, the largest Polish troops stationed in the suburbs of Poland were just a few underserved infantry regiments. Once the offensive began, the German army's operations in the suburbs of Poland would inevitably be overwhelming.
To win this great victory, all the German army has to pay is sacrifice, just sacrifice!
Starting from the leadership of General Sickert and carried forward by Reinhard, the German Communist Party has worked hard in the past two decades to regain the dignity and honor it lost in the last world war!
At present, Poland, the last bandit to seize German land, has reached the end of its rope. The debt they originally made for seizing Germany's Danzig Corridor was doubled by the German army.
Reinhard believed that it was his supreme honor and responsibility to be able to lead this generation of Germans, to catch up with and participate in Germany's most glorious era, and to realize the value of life that he had not achieved in his previous life until his death!
"General Halder, just now, I have issued the 'Pure White Order' prepared for the final stage of the 'White Plan'. The two army groups under Bock and Lundstedt will soon use their latest
The powerful hard power will completely crush the remnant Polish army entrenched in Warsaw and stubbornly resisting!" Reinhard told Halder while staring at him intently.
