Chapter 738: "Bad Bad Thoughts".
"It doesn't matter who I am, what matters is that I'm your negotiating partner now." Liu Lang's sly smile made Guderian feel the urge to pull out his gun and shoot the dead fat man.
No, a genius fat man, to be exact.
Guderian knew that there were probably few people in the world who could sort out his ideas so systematically. Many marshals and generals of the Third Reich were still superstitious about the tactical concept of artillery, opening the way with intensive artillery fire and then pressing on the infantry in a big way, which had been proven in World War I to cause a large number of infantry casualties.
"Okay, then tell me, where is the shortcomings of the blitzkrieg? If you don't brag, I will personally negotiate with the Ministry of Industry on the kinds of precision machine tools that my country prohibits exporting to other countries, and try my best to fulfill your wishes. Guderian took a deep breath and said in a deep voice.
Liu Lang's smile was bright. Finally, this time in front of the father of the blitzkrieg, he was forced to pretend not to be in vain. Guderian, a famous general of the Third Reich, is known to the whole world, and he was a soldier in his purest form. After the defeat, many marshals and generals of the Third Reich were hanged, but only this commander of the armored corps under his command blitzed Poland, captured the entire territory of Poland in January, and attacked 400 kilometers across France in six days to drive tanks to the edge of the Atlantic, and the general of the Third Reich was sentenced to only three years in prison.
Even, when he was tried, many Allied generals interceded for him, because this soldier of the purest form had never had a record of abusing prisoners of war and massacring civilians. In his eyes, there is always only tactical goals and victories.
The most exaggerated time was when he led the Panzer 19th Army to raid France, after forcibly crossing the Maas River, Guderian no longer used the tank as a self-propelled gun, but used its high-speed characteristics as much as possible to move to the depths, from Sedan to Abwehr and Gravrin on the coast, completing a huge encirclement that shocked the world. This encirclement pocketed all the Allied forces in northern France and Belgium. During the march, Guderian's troops did not even have time to capture the enemy troops, but shouted through a megaphone: "I don't have time to capture you, you have to lay down your arms and leave the road so as not to hinder our advance." In doing so, he set the fastest offensive speed in the history of modern warfare, that is, in less than six days, his armored corps drove more than 400 kilometers across France, driving tanks to the shores of the Atlantic.
The promise of such a real soldier is naturally a spitting on the ground and a pit, and if he says it, he will do it.
Of course, relying on Guderian's own theory to pretend to get what he wants is not Liu Lang's only purpose, Liu Lang still has a bad little to do.
He wanted to make the most talented commander of the Third Reich better refine his blitzkrieg theory and sharpen it in the European theater in the future. Because, the stronger the Third Reich Army, the more favorable it was for the Chinese battlefield.
If the Third Reich is too weak, if Japan, the stupid ally of the Third Reich, is not confused and no longer entangled in the Chinese battlefield, but the 600,000 Kwantung Army turns around and attacks the Red Polar Bear, and the Third Reich has a front and back attack, and the Red Empire is instigated, and then free up its hands to clean up the Chinese battlefield, it will be a big bad thing for China.
You know, in the past time and space, the mustache wanted to strangle the pig teammate of the Japanese emperor countless times, and it was okay not to fight the red polar bear before and after the Third Reich, and the Third Reich began to be very awesome and the results were extremely brilliant, and it was not until Stalingrad that he encountered stubborn resistance. But what makes the mustache helpless is that Japan, which is even more pig teammates than Italy, not only sent troops to Southeast Asia and Britain and the United States to seize oil resources, not to mention, but also ran to stab the chrysanthemum of the American soldier.
It is said that after hearing that the "brave" Imperial Japanese Navy had rushed thousands of kilometers to attack Pearl Harbor of American GIs, the mustachioed Führer smashed several cups in his office, and it was not enough to wipe the butt of his pig teammate Italy every day. How blind he was to take a fancy to these pig teammates!
The concept of "not afraid of god-like opponents, only pig-like teammates" can be applied to almost every historical time and space of mankind, whether it is when you are playing a game or a real battlefield.
Liu Lang must make the Third Reich a little stronger and stronger, and only his strength can make his former pig teammates more stupid.
As for Europe, what about Liu Langmao? He is not a saint, he can't fit the whole human race in his heart, he just wants his country and people to suffer less. Especially the red polar bears, which occupied more than one million square kilometers of land in China during the Tsarist period, did not mention the return of them in the future, and did not make them weaker, Liu Lang felt sorry for the martyrs who died on Pearl (Bao) Island and the tens of thousands of martyrs who died in the war in which the jungle monkeys they supported brazenly started a war with China.
"If a blitzkrieg wants to succeed, it must first have: 1. Strong armored forces. The high concentration of firepower, the ability to maneuver quickly, and the ability to survivability in rapid advance all make the armored forces far superior to any other unit that has ever appeared in any previous war in history. It made the cavalry look completely obsolete and the infantry look helpless in the open unless they were heavily armed with effective anti-tank guns. Obviously, this is impossible for any country, because they do not have a genius commander like you, and their thinking is too outdated.
2. Air support. The efficiency, accuracy and devastating nature of the aerial bombardment left the artillery far behind. At the same time, the artillery could not keep up with the advance of the tanks. Therefore, in addition to ordinary artillery, the attack group should be equipped with a sufficient number of bombers, which can quickly and effectively eliminate obstacles in the path of tank advancement.
3. Radio. Good radio communication technology, if it reaches every combat unit, allows commanders to efficiently control their forces and makes their air power more efficient and destructive. Radio allows commanders to move quickly with their troops and see the battlefield with their own eyes, knowing how the situation is changing so they can better use their forces instead of standing in front of the map.
Fourth, suddenness. Without any warning, the astonishing speed and strength of the fast-advancing forces and the indiscriminate bombardment of enemy territory could easily put the enemy in a state of shock. Sustained surprise attacks can bring even more devastating damage, quickly encircling massive enemy forces, cutting off their supply lines, and disintegrating and demoralizing enemy forces.
I believe that you and your empire can do these things, and it is not difficult for the Third Reich, which has the most modern industry of its time, to do so.
However, I have to remind you. If your Blitz concept doesn't take logistics into account, your armor will be paralyzed. The logistics of the Third Reich could be trusted if a blitzkrieg was launched over a relatively small area, in a short period of time and in good weather conditions, but in the event of huge depth, poor road conditions and bad weather, the logistics of the Third Reich, which was still heavily using mules and horses as a means of transport, would encounter great difficulties, and the infantry and supplies could not keep up with the speed of the tanks.
In addition to the traditional supply of food, water and ammunition to the troops on the march, the tank required a large amount of fuel and spare parts. At that time, tank losses were probably due to mechanical failures and lack of fuel, rather than enemy fire.
So Blitz requires not only tanks, but also extremely reliable, long enough travel, and accompanied by a variety of auxiliary trucks. The actors on the gorgeous stage of war may be glorious, and countless people soar into it and are known to the world, but the efforts behind the scenes are the most important. General Guderian, do you think I'm right? Liu Lang smiled and looked at Guderian, who was already dumbfounded, and talked eloquently, while seemingly unconsciously dipping his finger in water and drawing casually on the table.
Liu Lang's words are certainly not nonsense, in fact, the Third Reich suffered a crushing defeat at Stalingrad, on the one hand, the unprecedented and tragic resistance of the red polar bears, and on the other hand, their fragile logistical collapse, which is also one of the main reasons.
In fact, Liu Lang still kept it after all. Street fighting, the best tactic to restrain blitzkrieg, turning every piece of rubble in every city into a battlefield to fight the enemy, Blitz will lose its main feature of being fast. At the cost of millions of dead and wounded, millions of inhabitants and nearly two million soldiers, Stalingrad completely crushed the army of the Third Reich, which hoped for a quick victory, and turned the tide of the war in Europe.
And Guderian was completely stunned, not only did Liu Lang say it correctly, but more importantly, the lines that Liu Lang seemed to draw on the table at random were the European continent, and Guderian, who had seen the map of the European continent countless times, knew those lines very clearly.
