810 bastards and fools
This news was confirmed when it landed in the UK. As a current ally of the United States, the Soviet Union naturally also received this information.
The Soviet Union, which received the information, had no one to study this kind of information, because the Soviet-German war was fought in land and air battles, but they did not have to deal with naval battles very carefully.
Although the Soviet Union had long coastlines, they were cold and useless, and even if the Germans ventured to land on them, they had no targets at all.
It's cold all year round, and it's freezing in winter. There are no big cities, and even many areas are uninhabited, and fighting here is completely self-defeating, and the Soviet side does not have to care.
Vatutin also saw this information by chance, and at that time he and Zhukov were keenly aware that the Germans could use this tactic on the Black Sea!
If the Germans could establish a port on the Black Sea coast, then it would be possible for the Germans to get faster and easier supplies in the southern regions of the Soviet Union.
In the real World War II, the Black Sea route did not play a decisive role, on the one hand, because there was no surplus of German supplies to the front, and on the other hand, because of the interference of the British Mediterranean fleet.
In the Mediterranean, Italy's navy is weak, and Malta is like a fish in the throat. To add insult to injury, the Balkans are not clean.
Many factors constrained the German army from using the Black Sea and sea routes. This time, however, the Germans were arguably in complete control of the seas, and there was no reason why they should not take advantage of them.
Also, from the first point of view, Germany, which has been strengthened by Li Le's transformation, has mobilized its production capacity at this moment.
It has plenty of supplies to move to the south, including weapons and ammunition produced in mainland and France, Italy and even the United Kingdom, as well as petroleum products produced from Libya.
If all the industrial materials around the Mediterranean can be transported to the Ukrainian plain, then the battle of Stalingrad is really not so easy to fight.
Thinking of this, Stalin's face became more difficult to look at, and he coldly opened his mouth and ordered: "Then it is not allowed to lose a port!" Give this order to Zhukov! Right away! ”
Zhukov, having received Stalin's order, held a meeting with tears and laughter, and indeed emphasized the order not to allow the loss of a port.
But this order paled in the face of the German offensive - the Soviets were not willing to take a step back if possible.
But if you can hold your position and block the German attack, then all this is nonsense, isn't it? It's because you can't hold it that you emphasize that you can't lose a port, right?
Zhukov felt even more depressed that he was now able to barely hold on to his defensive positions without the full offensive of the German army.
As soon as the Germans have settled Moscow in the north, attention will inevitably be tilted towards the Caucasus, and what should he do then?
The German troops in the north pressed the border, and the German troops in the west were in the camp. To the south was the German fleet and the vast sea......
To the east, Stalingrad, where Stalin himself was in charge, was a city that could not afford to lose, and one that did not dare to give up easily.
At that time, let alone holding on to all the ports, it will already be a very good situation for him to retreat with the 2 million troops in his hands.
Of course, this is not counting the fact that Moscow had already fallen by then, and the political repercussions of this, as well as the blow to morale, would have made the war even more unfavorable.
After thinking about it, he finally reluctantly handed over the Stalin telegram in his hand and asked his generals to circulate it.
After that, he ended the meeting and rushed to Kharkov alone to preside over the defense of the city there.
At this time, Zhukov was already ready to fortify the entire Ukraine - only with fortresses everywhere can he use a scarce number of tank troops to fight against the German tank forces that occupy an absolute advantage!
……
At the same time, Roosevelt put down the papers in his hand and looked at Marshall to the side. The recent ups and downs in the Pacific theater have tormented this old man.
His emaciated face was full of bitterness, and he estimated that he could go to the street and ask for a coin of sympathy with a broken bowl.
Marshall also had a black face, and he planned to make the US military invincible, but was disrupted by a sneak attack by the Japanese.
Before the U.S. Navy could exert its strength, Japan was about to hit Hawaii. If it weren't for Japan's weak successor, the United States might be fighting a war to defend its homeland at this moment.
Just now, a message came back from the European side. It was this news that made Roosevelt call Marshall, a think tank, to help him analyze and analyze the importance of this intelligence.
Marshall opened the document and saw a report from European intelligence officers: Germany had exposed the Katyn massacre in the Soviet Union, and was now bombing the Soviet Union at home.
This round of bombing even received the full support of Britain and France: because everyone is a capitalist society, they still have an attitude of falling into the well towards the Soviet Union, a beast of prey.
The fear of the higher-ups, the horror of Stalin's dictatorship and the wanton killings, made them choose to support another man who seemed more moderate on the surface - Adolf? Hitler.
After all, in the past six months, compared with the previous methods of the head of state, the current head of state can be said to have completely believed in Buddhism, and he is simply a good vegetarian.
Not only did he pardon many Jews, but he also controlled the spread and spread of Nazi racism.
Under his leadership, the German theory of the German nation was taking root, and the demon Himmler, who had been distorted, was executed.
In this way, it is better to choose at least Hitler, a demon who has become sane, than Stalin, the tyrant.
Once this idea begins to spread, no one can stop it. The impact of the Katyn tragedy has already begun to be felt.
"If I say that Stalin, or the top of the Soviet Union, was a bunch of bastards and idiots, would you think I was crazy?" As soon as Marshall opened his mouth, he asked with a hint of gunpowder.
Roosevelt smiled bitterly again, then shook his head and said, "I agree with you, but we are now in an alliance with this group of bastards and stupids, so we can only endure it." ”
Marshall threw away the details of the Katyn massacre, then looked at the film copied from the Germans, and said, "Increase aid to the Soviet Union, and after calculation, they are likely to collapse in the next few months." ”
