Cialek suddenly realized that he was in trouble.

In later generations, as an "expert" in World War II research, Cialek could talk freely, evaluate various generals and battles, and speak passionately, as if he would definitely win everything if he went there.

But now, after truly becoming the head of the empire, Cialek discovered a huge problem he was facing. He could not stay out of the matter. The emergence of a big trouble made Cialek have to carefully consider it. One of his orders was under tremendous mental pressure.

This is the problem with the southern line.

Under the German blitzkrieg, the progress of the middle army was the fastest. They had already broken through Belarus and set foot on Russian land. It seemed that they could reach Moscow in another month.

The Northern Legion has made the slowest progress in history, but now due to air bombing, Petersburg has been destroyed in an instant, so the Northern Legion has also made a breakthrough.

Now, there is only the South Road left.

When the blitzkrieg began, the South Road Legion's movement was the slowest, and it was not a big deal for Manstein, after all, Ukraine's territory was too wide.

When attacking, the three legions of troops advanced together, but now, a Kiev protrusion was left behind.

When the Soviet Union was in the Great Purge, Cialek only focused his attention on big figures like Tukhachevsky. At that time, he forgot some of the commanders of his subordinates. If he knew that today was the case, Cialek would have to clearly remove the commander of the Southwest Front even if he took various risks.

Admiral Kilbonos was one of the first senior generals to recover from the shock of the war. Of course, this also has a lot to do with the depth of Ukraine's territory, and he did not specifically place his troops at the forefront.

After the outbreak of the war, he effectively utilized the depth of Ukrainian territory, deployed the four armies under his jurisdiction in step by step to support each other, and even boldly carried out counterattacks on the flanks of Kleist's armored legion.

Another reason is that Ukraine's water network is everywhere, which has caused a lot of trouble to the German offensive. So far, a clear protrusion has appeared in the south, with as many as 1.5 million Soviet troops.

"Now, it is still difficult for the Southwest Legion troops to encircle and annihilate the main force of Kiev, so they have proposed a sudden attack to the south and first encircle and annihilate the Uman army. This plan is correct." As the first promoted marshal and as a general who has always played an important role in the Imperial military center, Keitel began his own analysis.

"There are too many defenders in Kiev. It is difficult to operate it by Manstein alone. First, destroy Uman can reduce interference in the south, and then concentrate on besieging Kiev." Scherner also made a positive judgment.

It is correct to fight Wuman first. The key is, what should I do after fighting Wuman?

As if he knew Cialick's concerns, it was Guderian who was the first to propose a new plan.

"Now, the middle legion is attacking Smolensk. The middle legion will use the same encirclement tactics to eat all the defenders of Smolensk. At this time, Uman should have taken it down. General Guderian suggested that the middle legion go south and attack Kiev and kill Kiev's defenders." Keitel continued: "General Guderian's proposal is really too selfless."

Now, the war against the Soviet Union was of course mainly to occupy Moscow. This victory was already wavering to Guderian, as if Moscow was right in front of him.

But now, he resolutely proposed that the central army head south to Kiev, encircle Kiev, and eat up more than one million Soviet troops!

How much courage and wisdom does this require!

Of course, this is just a proposal, the ultimate decision-making power, in the base camp of the Wolf's Knot.

Back then, Hitler faced such a choice, and now, the same choice has fallen in front of Cialick.

Now, the troops of the Central Cluster and the Southern Cluster have a straight line distance of 550 kilometers, while the entire Soviet Southwest Legion is in the triangle area between the two German troops.

At the same time, the Soviets had no consciousness. They believed that their middle legions wanted to attack Moscow. If their middle legions went south, they would definitely catch the Soviets off guard. Kiev's legions were annihilated by Germany, and there would be no problem.

This made Cialis very curious, because Cialis knew very well that in history, Marshal Lundstetter, who proposed the Central Legion to go south, while Guderian was firmly opposed.

Now, how did you change it?

Guderian actually gave up Moscow and had to attack Kiev first?

Many military strategists in later generations commented that the Central Legion went south as a bad move, but now, Cirick is facing such a choice.

"This should be what General Guderian is worried about." At this moment, Army Chief of Staff Model suddenly spoke.

"Relying on the offensive momentum of the Central Legion, General Guderian can quickly break through the Soviet defense line and attack Moscow. However, if that time comes, Moscow will definitely order the defenders of Kiev to retreat, so General Guderian will be attacked from both sides."

Guderian was not the commander-in-chief of the Central Army at that time, but only commanded the armored forces. In Guderian's eyes, only Moscow was the meaning of blitzkrieg.

But now it's different. Guderian wants to command the entire central army. In addition to advancing into Moscow quickly, he also needs to consider the problems of his entire army.

What should he do if he advances into Moscow? If the more than one million Soviet troops retreat, it will be a great threat to Guderian. Now, it is better to eliminate this threat first, encircle both sides, and kill Kiev's defenders.

Now, the defenders in Kiev should be the largest corps in the entire Soviet army. Killing them can further undermine the confidence of the Soviet army.

"That's why General Guderian is too selfless and is willing to give up the achievements of attacking Moscow. Marshal Bok will definitely seize the opportunity." Keitel continued.

Marshal Bock, Cialick, realized that he had only considered this difficult choice in history, and actually forgot that it was different from history after all.

The Northern Legion has made a breakthrough. Now, the Northern Legion is also advancing southward quickly and heading straight to Moscow! In other words, compared with the historical situation, the cards in his hand are a hundred times better!

"I think General Guderian has to benefit this time. He doesn't have to use the entire central army at all. It's enough to send a second tank cluster." Scherner also reacted and muttered.

Cialek's eyes were completely open. Do you still need to hesitate? Of course not!
