In a separate office in the famous wolf's den, the headquarters of the German Eastern Front, a man in an SS uniform stood in front of a dozen workstations with his hands behind his back.

In front of him, the people sitting behind the desks at the work stations were all carefully calculating with their heads bowed. Although these people are not combatants, they do more important work than ordinary combatants.

"Sir! This is a cloud thickness report that has just been sent by the Air Force, and the situation is not optimistic......" A staff member walked into the room and handed the officer a report.

"The weather forecast for the Air Force is very pessimistic, and there will be precipitation tomorrow, which may last for two days, or it may be one day." The officer said as he handed over the report.

"Okay, I got it!" The lead officer nodded, then took the report from the Air Force and said no more.

The other party also knew that he was waiting for the final result, so he could only leave stupidly, after all, what he brought was not good news.

One of the scholars at the table stood up and removed the glasses from the bridge of his nose. He walked up to the officer and shook his head slightly.

The officer took out the calculations from his hand, which stated that the probability of rain tomorrow was about 70 percent or more.

This probability, from a scientific point of view, is almost equivalent to saying that there will be precipitation tomorrow.

For the ground forces, precipitation means mud and difficulties. It meant that their offensive had to stop, and the enemy had time to breathe.

And for the Luftwaffe, it was fatal. They will not be able to take off, they will not be able to fight the enemy, they will not be able to destroy those exposed ground targets.

"The clouds are very thick, which is different from the previous sporadic local precipitation, and this rain may take about three days." The scholar at the Ground Observatory gave a more pessimistic answer, saying that there would be no decent good weather for three days.

"It's not just precipitation, but clouds can also block the view and affect aircraft takeoffs and landings." Finally, the scholar added.

The other person had also sorted out the information at this time, stood up, and gave the results of his work.

He handed a table to the officer and said, "I have counted the precipitation near Moscow in the Soviet Union for the past ten years. ”

While pointing to a few data on his table, he said: "Although the probability of precipitation is not high, it is still possible to continue to rain weather. ”

"Finally, is it going to be rainy?" With a helpless sigh, the SS officer stuffed the papers in his bag and turned and walked out of the room.

Through the long underground corridor, all the way to the outside of the gate, he glanced up at the mottled eyes shining through the dense woods.

The officer then took a step and walked over a barbed wire fence to the vicinity of the checkpoint.

After passing the inspection, he picked up the document bag and walked through the courtyard, which was protected by layers of SS guards, to the door of the building where the Führer rested.

After passing another inspection, he walked to the door of the Führer's chamber with his bag of papers, and knocked on the heavy door.

"Please come in!" Inside the room, Bowman's voice was heard. The officer, who heard the order, pushed open the door and walked to the middle of the generals who were in a meeting.

Li Le was discussing with Brauchitsch about the encirclement of Moscow, and he insisted that Army Group North be in position as soon as possible, at all costs.

Brauchitsch feared that logistical problems would crush the German army fighting on the front lines, after all, the German army consumed more fuel and ammunition than it had historically consumed.

The two of them were exchanging views with each other, and it seemed that the Führer's opinion was supported by the majority of the officers, and everyone believed that overcoming the difficulties and encircling Moscow would end the Battle of Moscow as soon as possible.

Once the annoying Battle of Moscow is over, the million-strong German army will be able to move south to attack Ukraine, and the situation will become more favorable to the Germans.

At least German intelligence and some Soviet prisoners believed that as soon as they entered Ukraine, the Germans would be welcomed there, and there would not be much resistance at all.

"Victory! Monarch! Standing not far from the two men, the officer, who had been ordered to come and report as soon as the results were available, raised his arm and gave a German salute.

"The results are in?" Li Le did not return the salute, because the other party's level was not high, and more importantly, he did not have a proper return salute on this occasion.

Could it be that as the head of the empire, he should stand up, wave his arms at the other party, and shout "Long live the empire!" ”？

"In the next two days, there may not be any good weather, and the air force is seizing the time to attack and strive to complete the interdiction mission ahead of schedule. The meteorological department came to a more pessimistic conclusion, and there may be no good weather for up to four days. The officer said helplessly.

"How are the Army's preparations? After all, it was a situation where there was no air support for two consecutive days, and the enemy could not make a counterattack. Li Le asked Brauchitsch.

In real historical time and space, the German army once counterattacked the Allies on a large scale in rainy and snowy weather. I have already walked such a path, so I am naturally very familiar with it.

Brauchitsch immediately replied: "Three days ago, after the news of the possible bad weather came from the weather forecasting troops, we were already preparing. ”

"The roads are being strengthened so that there is no mud; The defense of the front line is also being strengthened in a way that hopefully nothing will go wrong. The field marshal elaborated on the specific deployment of the response.

"The number of tents is being counted repeatedly, and there shouldn't be any major problems." He summed up his statement with confidence.

The Führer looked at him and continued with some concern: "I'm worried that the Soviet army will take advantage of this weather to counterattack, this is the best chance for them to counterattack when they lose air supremacy." ”

"If they fight back, do we have enough reserves? In particular, will Guderian's troops, who are going south, suffer any losses? Li Le finally asked.

He didn't want his elite armored forces to be weakened by the enemy, and he didn't want to have any fatal problems on the doorstep of victory.

So he gave instructions and ordered the reserves to move forward to avoid being caught off guard by the enemy: "Let the two newly formed SS divisions move closer to Group G and assist Guderian's troops in holding their own lines!" ”
