Chapter 2379 the overall situation has been decided
Spain, Franco Presidential Palace.
Franco read the Tass editorial reprinted in "Mata" with a sinking face. Over the years, Franco has remained standing on the ever-changing international stage because of his keen insight and foresight.
Lange could clearly feel that the Axis powers, led by Germany, were beginning to go downhill. If they continued to be tied to Germany's tank and move forward, they would surely overturn with Germany.
Thinking of this, Franco finally made up his mind and called back the Spanish troops on the Soviet-German battlefield. Spain announced its withdrawal from the war and became a neutral country again.
Three days later, Franco officially announced his withdrawal from the war, and Spain became a neutral country. Franco took advantage of the situation and ran in time, which also made him a roly-poly. Many years later, Franco was fighting for himself.
I feel happy and happy for this wise decision.
Although the German head of state was extremely dissatisfied with this, scolding Franco for his betrayal, and forgetting Germany's full support during the Spanish Civil War, there was nothing he could do. Germany really did not have the extra troops to cause trouble for Spain.
Italian Prime Minister Mussolini was in the same situation as Franco. When Mussolini learned about the defeat of the Axis troops in Smolensk, he also had doubts about Germany's capabilities and decided to withdraw from the Axis.
The idea of a Heartland Alliance.
However, the German Prime Minister would not let Italy, his little partner, leave him. When Mussolini first had this idea, the German Prime Minister promised various benefits to the Italian Prime Minister. At the same time, the German Head of State also threatened the Italian Prime Minister:
: "If Italy withdraws from the war, Germany will occupy Italy as soon as possible."
The Italian Prime Minister was frightened. Of course he knew that Italy's national strength was not enough to confront Germany. If Germany was willing, it would only need five divisions to occupy Italy. Thinking again, Italy is the birthplace of fascism. Even if it withdraws from the war,
Countries such as Britain and the Soviet Union would not let him go, so the Italian head of state had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue to participate in this confusing war with no clear outcome.
Meanwhile, Germany, Wolfsburg.
The German head of state sat in a chair a little depressed, his face ashen. The failure of Smolensk was a huge blow to the German head of state. The German head of state has always had a strong will and outstanding speech ability, and even some
With military talent, relying on his strong will and speech ability, the German head of state became the prime minister of the government from a soldier during World War I, and became the head of state of Germany after the death of President Hindenburg.
In the past few years, Germany has continued to expand under his leadership, defeating France, the largest army power in Europe, as well as small countries such as Belgium and the Czech Republic, and occupying most of Europe. The German head of state has already achieved great success.
However, he is not satisfied with his current achievements. He wants to change the entire world, and the Soviet Union is a roadblock. The German head of state knows that even if he does not attack the Soviet Union, the Soviet Union will attack Germany and compete for hegemony across Europe, so
, Germany acted first and launched a lightning attack on the Soviet Union, which instantly destroyed the Soviet Union and made them invincible.
The German head of state believed that as long as Moscow was occupied, the Soviet Union would surrender. However, what he did not expect was that the Soviets actually saved Moscow and recaptured Smolensk in such adversity.
The Battle of Moscow was a turning point in the Soviet-German war. The German head of state ordered that Moscow must be captured. However, with the fall of Smolensk, capturing Moscow became an impossible task.
The German head of state was puzzled as to what magic the Soviet army had. It had undergone a radical change in a short period of time. It not only saved Moscow, but also launched a counterattack against the German army.
Goering on the side said: "My head of state has found out that the reason why the Soviet army was able to capture Smolensk was that a Chinese named Xu Rui was commanding it. This Xu Rui led more than 80 people."
Entering Smolensk, we gathered some workers, prisoners of war, defeated Soviet troops, and even women to form a force of about a few thousand people, and then defeated hundreds of thousands of our allied troops and occupied Smolensk.
.”
"What? You actually occupied Smolensk with such a rabble?" The German head of state was shocked and couldn't believe his ears.
"Yes, my head of state, the Chinese named Xu Rui is very powerful and a difficult opponent. There is definite information proving that the Soviet army's battle in Moscow was actually fought by Xu Rui."
"I didn't expect that China has such talents. It seems that I still underestimated them." The German head of state frowned.
The German head of state still had a very good impression of the Chinese people in his heart. When he was a child, his family was very poor, and a Chinese couple from his neighbor once gave him a lot of financial aid. Therefore, he was grateful and later carried out some cooperation with China.
, provided China with the equipment of ten German weapon masters, which is not unrelated to his experience as a child.
The reason why the German head of state hates Jews has a lot to do with his childhood experience. In order to support the family, his mother had an improper relationship with a Jewish millionaire. This has always made the German head of state feel unable to hold his head high. Therefore, he is particularly
He hated the Jews and vowed to wipe the Jewish nation off the face of the earth.
This is what he thought and what he did. Millions of Jewish people were persecuted by Nazi Germany and imprisoned in death concentration camps, eventually leading to destruction.
In the heart of the German head of state, he still had a good impression of the Chinese, but because China was too weak, he chose to cooperate with the more powerful Japan and stood on the opposite side of China.
At this time, he heard that a Chinese actually led the Soviet army, which was about to collapse, to turn defeat into victory. He not only defended Moscow, but also captured Smolensk, putting Army Group Center in danger. He felt a little regretful in his heart.
If I had known this, I would have to carefully consider cooperation with Japan.
In fact, I still overestimated the combat capabilities of the Japanese. These yellow-skinned monkeys were nothing more than that. They could not even defeat the weak China. They only reached out to ask for supplies from themselves, just like their Italian friends. Not only could they not help Germany
, but became a burden to Germany.
If we had known this, we should not have easily severed diplomatic relations with China and fully cooperated with Japan.
"Führer, Army Group Center is now in a very dangerous situation. There are millions of Soviet troops in Moscow in front of them. Behind them, they have lost their supply base and must retreat immediately, otherwise the entire army may be annihilated." Goering.
explain.
"No! I will never allow retreat, that is escape! I order Kruger to immediately attack Moscow, and at the same time re-capture Smolensk and open up the logistics supply line!"
Goering's fat body squirmed twice, thinking that the Führer was simply crazy. Under the current circumstances, Army Group Center lacked supplies and was simply not enough to complete such a task.
Goering said: "Führer, although Army Group Center is brave, it does not have enough supplies now. I think you should communicate with Kruger and see the actual situation of Army Group Center before making a decision."
The German head of state immediately called Army Commander-in-Chief Brauchitsch and asked him about the specific situation on the Moscow front.
Brauchitsch said: "Führer, the situation is critical. Kruger has put all his troops into the battle. He no longer has enough troops to surround Moscow. The strength of Army Group Center is about to be exhausted."
The German head of state said: "The Soviets are on the verge of collapse. As long as we work harder, we will definitely win the final victory!"
The German head of state also said: "Brauchitsch, I just want to know when Moscow can be captured. If the Moscow battle fails, you will be responsible for the victory or defeat of the battle!"
Brauchitsch knew the battle situation on the Moscow front. He knew that the moment Smolensk fell, the battle situation under Moscow had been doomed. He mustered up the courage and said: "Report to the head of state, Army Group Center cannot reach the planned area. We
There are not enough troops."
When Brauchitsch said this, the German head of state was unexpectedly calm. He said: "Brauchitsch, if the Moscow battle fails, you can go home and rest. I want to talk to Kruger directly!"
"
Subsequently, the German head of state called Kruger and asked him to launch an attack on Moscow immediately. However, after hearing the words of the German head of state, Kruger said: "My head of state, the phone is too noisy. I can't hear it."
I don't know what you said. Then Kruger hung up the phone with the German head of state.
When the German head of state heard Kruger's words, he knew in his heart that the Battle of Moscow could no longer be fought and failure was a foregone conclusion.
He shouted hoarsely, yelling like crazy, calling Kruger a fool, calling Brauchitsch useless. After an unknown amount of time, the German head of state finally sat on the chair powerlessly. Even if the German head of state was imprisoned for rioting in a Munich beer hall
He never gave up. He was always full of hope for the future and always full of fighting spirit. However, at this time, for the first time in his life, he felt so decadent and a sense of powerlessness arose spontaneously.
At this moment, a beautiful shadow appeared beside the German head of state, holding his head in his arms and comforting him gently.
"Ava..."
The German head of state hugged his mistress like a child. His hug was so strong, as if he wanted to fuse Ava and himself...
Moscow, with the fall of Smolensk, the top brass of the German Army Group Center knew that the overall situation had been decided, and what was being discussed now was not the capture of Moscow, but how to retreat.
The attack on Moscow from all directions has stopped. Hoppner reported that his tank group had stopped advancing. The 2nd Army also reported. Guderian directly said that the attack on Moscow had failed...
