"Judging from the aerial reconnaissance, the Soviets are indeed retreating...... "In the busy High Command, a staff officer is explaining to the Führer and Marshal Keitel.

On the huge map, there are many arrows indicating that the Germans are trying to advance from two directions, but the troops advancing in the direction of the south are blocked by the other side.

"The battle for Odessa is almost over, and it is estimated that it will be faster than clearing the remnants of the Soviet Union in Moscow." Another officer handed the message to Keitel, chin high and waiting for the latter's reply.

Everything in this war went according to the Führer's plan, and the only thing that went out of the plan was the reaction of the Soviet Union.

The Soviet army has fought to this extent, and it is still unwilling to surrender, which has to be said to be a very headache.

Now, the German top brass has to think about what to do to end the war if the Soviets are still unwilling to surrender after the capture of Stalingrad.

Do you really want to hit Chelyabinsk? Or can it be fought all the way to the Ural Mountains to decide the outcome of this war?

Once caught in a tug-of-war, the German armored forces could not play their due combat effectiveness in the mountains, and the war would only remain stalemate, which was annoying.

"The Turkish side has relaxed the conditions that allow our ships to enter the Black Sea, and as soon as we occupy Odessa, we can immediately cross the strait and use the sea lines of communication!" Pointing to the huge map of the Soviet Union hanging on the wall, Keitel explained to the Führer the objectives of Army Group South.

"After the capture of Odessa, our army will launch a surprise attack to the east, advancing the line of defense head-on to the Kyiv line." Pointing to the various units under Army Group South on the map, Keitel explained.

For this kind of strategy, Li Le can still understand. He is just not very familiar with the details of technology and scheduling, but he still has his own ideas on how to win this war.

On the northern front, the Germans had almost wiped out all the targets they could sweep, and now only a few important cities in the Ukrainian direction remained, which were in the German occupation plan.

Let's say Kyiv, let's say Kharkov, let's say more distant, in Stalingrad in another state!

"My Führer, the logistics of our army have never been as good as they are today." Seeing Li Le nodding slightly, Keitel proudly opened his mouth and continued: "Once Odessa can be used, the transportation line of Army Group South will be unimpeded!" ”

To the north, backed by the Baltic transport line, Army Group North was practically well supplied.

After all, many units of Army Group North are now on no offensive mission, and most of them are still on vacation. Therefore, the supply pressure here has been reduced, but the transportation capacity has been steadily improved, and the quality of supply has of course been greatly improved.

The Central Army Group, which had already relied on the Central Railway to advance, had no railway capacity to be diverted by the Northern Army Group, and the logistical supply pressure was greatly reduced.

Although Army Group Center still had the worst supply level among the three German offensive groups due to the large number of armored troops, Field Marshal Rundstedt was already very satisfied.

At least his troops don't have to worry too much about supplies, they can use a fairly good amount of ammunition and eat timely food, which is already a "very good" situation.

You know, in the first two months of the war, the German army's supplies were still chaotic and could not meet the requirements. Now that there is such an upturn, it can definitely be said to be an encouraging situation.

When it comes to transportation logistics, Keitel has to mention the production mobilization in the rear: "Minister Speer's overall production management in the rear has achieved initial results, and the production speed of ammunition has increased rapidly, which can already meet the consumption of the front." ”

The military was very satisfied with the cooperation of Speer in the rear, and he was always able to produce enough ammunition and weapons for the military, which was inseparable from the support of the Führer and scientific management.

"Assembly line production, as well as more scientific management, are the two best treasures of industry!" Li Le waved his hand and said, "Speer did a good job, which makes me very pleased!" ”

The Führer's praise was always encouraging, and when Keitel saw the Führer's good face, he knew that the victorious Führer at the front was still very satisfied.

The established strategy of flanking Ukraine from both sides is being implemented step by step, the Soviet army is in danger, and the great Third Reich will finally achieve the greatest victory.

"Japan's funds for the purchase of weapons and equipment blueprints and intelligence have just arrived in France...... My Führer. At this time, Bowman came over and whispered to Li Le.

The gold of a whole submarine, which is not a decimal for the Third Reich. What's more, the tonnage of Japan's large submarines is not comparable to that of German U-boats.

The Japanese side was afraid that there would be problems during the transportation of the gold, so it was transported by military submarines.

As for rubber, because of the large quantity, Japanese transport ships were used, but the flag of the Third Reich was flown during the transportation.

The commander of the British Navy's fleet in exile guarding the Indian Ocean, Admiral Phillips, had been playing the Third Reich tacit card by not attacking German transports, in exchange for German submarines not attacking ships of the Indian government-in-exile in the Indian Ocean.

Although this is a tacit agreement, the two sides still abide by this tacit agreement, so the route between the Axis powers and Japan in the Indian Ocean is not too dangerous.

"The Japanese were willing to pay hundreds of tons of gold, and they were not willing for Germany to mediate the war between Japan and China." Bowman saw that the Führer nodded, and continued to speak.

"Expected! Japan is a country with great ambitions. The Führer squinted, as if thinking about something. He muttered this, and then stopped talking, just staring at the huge map of the Soviet Union in front of him.

"When we finish the war in the Soviet Union, let's take care of other people's affairs." In the end, Li Le still sighed, pressed the ** who was meddling in the affairs of the Far East, and sighed.

Then he looked at Keitel and commanded: "Let Marshal Brauchitsch mobilize more troops and enter Kursk!" Since the Soviets want to fight here, then we will fight with them! ”

"Yes! My Führer! Kettel replied, "I will send a telegram to Commander Brauchitsch in the Wolf's Lair!" ”
