Chapter 816: Thunderstorm Plan

On June 7, 1941, the Soviet Union gathered 3 million troops on the Soviet-German border, divided into three routes, and suddenly attacked Germany on a large scale, stabbing the German army in the back.

The war came to this point and began to approach the trajectory of history, which was fought on June 22, 1941, only 15 days away from now.

However, the nature of war has changed dramatically, and historically, after Hitler's victory in the war against France, the idea of attacking the Soviet Union was put on the agenda.

The idea of Hitler attacking the Soviet Union has been around for a long time. As early as the 20s, in his autobiography Mein Kampf, he made it clear that the German people had to pursue the so-called "living space" – that is, land and raw materials, which should be found in Eastern Europe. Nazi policy dictated that people of the Soviet Union and other Slavic peoples should be killed, deported, or enslaved, because they considered them to be inferior peoples, and that the land should be given to the German people to live in. It was planned that the urban population in these areas would be completely wiped out by famine, and the Germans would be fed with surplus agricultural produce and repopulated by Germans.

Therefore, when the German army had no hope of capturing the British Isles, it turned to attack the Soviet Union, and on April 22, 1941, it launched an operation codenamed "Barbarossa", and the troops attacked the Soviet Union in three directions, but here, history changed dramatically again, and it became the Soviet Union to attack Germany.

I have to say that this is the butterfly effect brought by Jiang Haoran again, in history, after the Japanese army attacked Pearl Harbor, the combat effectiveness of the Pacific Fleet of the United States still exists, at least there is no problem in ensuring the security of the homeland, but now the Pacific Fleet is completely annihilated, which to a large extent let the German army see the hope that it can easily take the British Isles.

The Germans are not afraid of Britain and France, not afraid of the Soviet Union, but for the United States, they have to be afraid, the war potential of the United States is too strong, and when their war machine is fully activated, if they want to clean them up, it is definitely much greater than the resistance of Britain and the Soviet Union, so the Germans put all their energy on attacking Britain, only when the United States has no time to take care of it, defeat the United Kingdom, completely isolate the United States, and the entire European continent is even ironclad, even if the war potential of the United States is completely exploded, it is powerless to return to the sky.

But the Germans never dreamed that the USSR would stab them in the back at this time.

In fact, during this period, there has always been an unsolved mystery in history, that is, Stalin planned to preemptively launch a devastating military attack on Germany in 1941, so as to dominate Europe in one fell swoop, and the plan was called the "Great Thunderstorm Plan".

Stalin did not consider the Red Army to be inferior to the Germans, on the contrary, he believed that the quality of the Red Army was at least no worse than that of the German Army, which in turn was significantly stronger in size. At the same time, it was also true that the Red Army was outwardly stronger than fascist Germany, with more troops, more tanks, planes and artillery.

Now it seems that Stalin's "thunderstorm plan" is real, otherwise the Soviet Union would not have been able to launch such a large-scale attack on the German army in a few days, with millions of troops attacking in three directions? Without a long period of preparation and precise deployment, it is completely impossible.

In this way, it shows that Stalin was premeditated when he saw the German army sweeping through Europe and waited for the German army to fight to the death, and the German army was caught in the war on the Western Front and could not extricate itself, and then at the critical moment, the Red Army marched westward and met with the grateful Anglo-French allies somewhere on the Elbe - if they were lucky, on the banks of the Rhine. As a result, most of Europe would be under the control of the Soviet Union.

However, Stalin did not expect that the British army would be so poor, and when the decisive battle had not yet come and the situation of the fish and the net had not yet appeared, he actually proposed peace, which disrupted his plan to a large extent, because, once the British army really surrendered, the German army was bloodless, uninjured, and received strong reinforcements from the British navy, then their position as the hegemon of Europe would be unshakable, and after the German army pacified the Western Front, it would definitely turn back and clean up the Soviet Union, this situation was something Stalin did not want to see and did not dare to see, so, This also explains the fundamental reason why the Soviet Union attacked the German army at this time.

In the British army headquarters in Imphal, when Jiang Haoran heard the news, he leaned back and fell with tears coming out of his eyes, which made Stilwell, Alexander and other British generals look at each other like falling clouds.

The Soviet Union took the initiative to attack the German army, which is indeed good news for the Allies, the German army must shrink its forces to return to help, which makes the pressure on the major battlefields suddenly reduced, especially the British army, it is very likely that they will be completely extricated from the current predicament, but this can't be the reason why Jiang Haoran laughed like this?

"General Jiang, is this really so funny?"

As soon as Jiang Haoran's laughter stopped, General Alexander hurriedly asked.

"Hahaha!" Jiang Haoran smiled again and bent down, his two hands waved in the air again and again, and it took a long time to come back to his senses and say: "Hahaha, this thing itself is not funny, but I can't help but laugh when I think of Stalin being forced to Liangshan by Churchill and Roosevelt." ”

"Woe to the East? Child, are you saying that Britain's surrender was a ploy to force the Soviet Union? Stilwell asked anxiously.

"Or do you think?" Jiang Haoran tilted his neck and said.

"Oh 616161616161" Stilwell opened his mouth wide, made a sudden realization, and then nodded again and again, and said: "That's right, this is a strategy to lead the water to the east, a few days ago, the Mi-British delegation did enter the Soviet Union to discuss the matter of joint resistance to the German army, Mi Ying made it clear that as long as the Soviet Union sent troops and took the initiative to attack the German army, it would give the Soviet Union a large amount of weapons and material support, but the Soviet Union said that it was unwilling to set itself on fire, and now seeing that Britain was desperate, the Soviet Union had to think about its own future. ”

"Yes, it must be so, my empire will never surrender to the Nazis!" Alexander waved his arms and shouted.

As soon as the British surrender theory came out, the proud Alexander, the British general, was extremely frustrated, and now when he heard this exciting news, the mood that had been sluggish for several days was swept away, and the look of pride and confidence returned to his face.

Soon, Jiang Haoran's speculation was confirmed, and the British sent a transoceanic telegram, strictly ordering the British troops in India to strictly guard the western front of India, never let the German army have any opportunity, and if necessary, they could launch an attack on the retreating German army.

In the telegram, there was no further proposal for peace, but it simply and resolutely stated the stance of the War of Resistance against Japan, and also forcefully demonstrated that Jiang Haoran's judgment was correct.
