In fact, Reinhardt's battle plan against Leningrad had already begun to prepare for a close move as in history.
Yes, he also wanted to besiege Leningrad.
However, the historical siege of Leningrad lasted from September 9, 1941 to January 18, 1943, when a narrow land passage to the city was established, and the siege ended in 1944.
January 27. The Siege of Leningrad was the longest, most destructive, and second most deadly siege of a major city in modern history.
However, the Germans lost that battle.
But Reinhard still planned to follow the old path of history and deal with Leningrad through a siege.
Of course, he did not expect the siege to bring Leningrad to its knees.
Reinhard just hoped to capture the main force of the Soviet army on the northern front into Leningrad, and then use German infantry to cooperate with the Finnish and Norwegian troops to trap the main force of the Soviet army on the northern front, thereby freeing up the armored forces on the northern front for use in the center.
, approaching Moscow.
As for when Leningrad can be taken, it depends on when the "Flying Fish Project" can be completed.
Yes, Reinhard and others successfully developed the nuclear weapons of the Third Reich.
According to Reinhardt's ultimate experience from studying the history of World War II, especially the U.S. military's later war against Japan, there is no problem in this world that cannot be solved by one atomic bomb. If there is, then use two atomic bombs.
Germany actually has inherent advantages in developing nuclear weapons. Likewise, German scientists were the first in history to propose the theory of nuclear fission in 1938.
It has an advanced theoretical foundation, but it is a pity that Germany did not become the first country in the world to possess nuclear weapons.
First of all, this matter is inseparable from the historical Third Reich's exclusion of other races and persecution of many non-Germanic scientists.
In fact, there was not only one Einstein, but more than two thousand engineers and technicians and science and technology experts who left this country because of the fierce racial policies of the Third Reich in the original time and space.
It is simply impossible to say that the departure of these people has no impact on Germany's advanced technology.
In addition to extremely radical racism that forces a large number of scientists to flee, the fact that local scientists have taken the wrong path is also an important reason.
German physicists, led by Heisenberg, stubbornly believed that nuclear weapons were not easy to develop and that the difficulty was not directly proportional to the investment.
There are also various episodes, such as the graphite used to refine weapons-grade uranium raw materials was destroyed by anti-war activists and mixed with impurities, causing the refining to fail.
Another example is that Heisenberg's calculation formula error was an important reason for Germany's error in estimating the weight of nuclear weapons, etc.
This series of stories, which may or may not exist, ultimately led to the eventual abandonment of the development of German nuclear weapons and became a historical mystery.
The last aspect is the Allied forces' targeted destruction of Germany's nuclear weapons development infrastructure. The British army's special attack on the Norwegian heavy water plant is also a classic of special operations.
Under this circumstance, Germany's atomic bomb research ultimately failed.
This is not the situation faced by the Führer, he is in a much better situation.
He killed the British, and the possibility of damage to the heavy water plant in Norway was greatly reduced.
At the same time, he deliberately checked various experimental materials to avoid the problem of experimental materials being damaged.
Finally, based on the foresight of later generations, Reinhard not only treated German scientists kindly, but even pointed out the way forward for German scientists.
But don't underestimate this path. The progress in the development of nuclear weapons is absolutely incomparable. Whether or not there are nuclear weapons is really a world of difference.
However, when the United States is doing things, it is very resilient and will not give up until the Yellow River is reached. Their persistence can put many countries to shame.
If the same thing were done to Germany, it really might not be possible. When the Soviet Union later continued to engage in nuclear weapons research, it actually had a great advantage - the Soviet Union at least knew that nuclear bombs were feasible, and with its current
The technical level can be achieved.
Under relative conditions, the United States did not know whether nuclear weapons were feasible at the time. The United States was really trying to cross the river by feeling the stones without the so-called bright light to guide the way.
Although the research on nuclear physics was already relatively in-depth at that time. The Soviet Union, Germany, and even Japan had already conducted corresponding nuclear physics research.
However, even if we have a complete theory of nuclear weapons development, in the absence of successful cases in the front, we still cannot definitely come to the answer that the atomic bomb will definitely succeed.
Under such circumstances, the United States resolutely invested 2 billion US dollars and countless amounts of electricity to develop and produce atomic bombs, which itself required great courage.
And sometimes, it is often this courage that defeats the attempts of many people and countries in certain aspects and fields.
Therefore, it is of little practical significance to say that the subsequent countries that developed the atomic bomb took several years less than the United States did.
If the United States had not successfully developed the first atomic bomb, the next few "rogues" might have wasted ten years and would not have dared to take the step to develop an atomic bomb.
It can also be seen from here that Reinhardt, as a time traveler, can bring huge changes to the development of German nuclear weapons in the general direction of nuclear weapons development.
Guidance in the general direction has given Heisenberg and other German scientists the courage to take steps forward. In terms of specific operations, large projects spearheaded by the head of state have better execution capabilities than other plans in a free-range state.
Tens of millions times stronger.
When it comes to researching atomic bombs, the United States has established a department to oversee all nuclear projects. Germany, on the other hand, has an agency specifically responsible for stealing intelligence and stealing U.S. nuclear weapons secrets.
It started as a purely scientific research uranium advisory committee, and then a large number of scientists invested in it. Then the project entered the engineering development stage and formed the Manhattan Project, which was carried out simultaneously with basic research.
The establishment of the committee alone took the United States two years, but this time was not wasted, because once the unity of procedures is formed and the concentration of power is ensured, any department in the United States that wants to get involved in nuclear engineering must
Obey the unified dispatch.
This is no joke. For example, if the Navy wants to participate in a nuclear weapons research project, it can contribute people, efforts and money, but it does not have any command and decision-making authority.
In this regard, Germany is just the opposite. Everyone saves time arguing with each other, but each department does its own thing.
The Ordnance Ministry, the Kaiser Wilhelm Society, various universities, and even some ministerial units have their own nuclear research institutions.
Although the starting point is higher and the scientific research strength is equally strong, the resources were originally insufficient and now they are even more dispersed.
What is even more depressing is that the research directions of various departments are also inconsistent: many senior naval officials have always wanted to use nuclear power generation for submarines and warships.
On the contrary, the United States basically terminated research on nuclear power generation projects in 1942 and concentrated on researching nuclear weapons.
Now with Reinhardt's intervention, various departments in Germany have concluded relevant research. With the words of the head of state, many great scientists have joined a large-scale research institution, contributing to Germany's nuclear weapons program.
This large-scale plan is Germany's "Uranium Project." This plan was prepared to produce the world's first nuclear weapon for Germany before 1943.
If Leningrad can really hold on until that time, their fate will be much worse than the worst siege in history...
"We have completed the evaluation of Japan's centrifuges and purification equipment... There are some parts that can be used technically, and relevant departments have also begun to put them into practice." When Heisenberg faced the head of state alone, he spoke more.
.
He now truly feels that Reinhard is omniscient and omnipotent, because in addition to military affairs, this head of state actually also studies quantum physics!
Moreover, the head of state dared to firmly support the nuclear research of German physicists and invest money into this bottomless pit.
As for why the head of state firmly believed that an atomic bomb could be produced and it was technically possible, Heisenberg felt that it was not the point at all.
As a physicist, since the country's leaders are willing to encourage and sponsor him to complete his research, the only thing left for him to do is to lead his team to complete this huge progress that has brought mankind into the era of nuclear physics.
Once this step is completed, Heisenberg's name will remain in history - even longer than those famous military strategists who are now all-powerful!
Of course, whether to enter the nuclear energy era or the nuclear weapons era is not something he can control.
