Chapter 946: Project Barbarossa 1)
I have to say that Hitler would choose a place, which was fresh and beautiful, just like a lazy resort. The scenery in Western Europe is the most touching.
"Head of War, please come here." Spel said. As the head of the Imperial logistics, Spel participated in the construction of this command base throughout the process.
Following Cialek's footsteps, the crowd walked into the entrance.
The Wolf's Knot covers a large area. In addition to the most central headquarters of Cialek, the German Army's Supreme Command, the Second Government, the Air Force Headquarters, the SS Headquarters, the diplomatic headquarters, etc. Basically, the responsibilities of the second capital of the empire can be played out here.
After Cialek walked in, it was a little dark inside. Here was a 10 fortresses made of reinforced concrete, with walls and tops ranging from 5 to 8 meters thick. Unless it was a special ground-boring bomb in later generations, ordinary aviation bombs would definitely be ineffective here.
Cialek's residence, in a fortress at the northernmost point, had larger rooms where he and Kettle's fortress could hold military meetings.
Now, when we walked into the fortress, Cialek looked at the decorations around him very simple, which was in line with his usual characteristics. When the soldiers on the front line fought bloody battles, the leaders in the rear could not be too extravagant.
At the same time, right near his fortress, there is a special lift elevator. When it rises to the top, you can get out and reach the top of the mountain and enjoy the beautiful scenery around you.
This will make people feel refreshed.
When standing on the terrace on the top of the mountain, Cialick looked at the rolling mountains in the distance, remembering what he said to Rommel on the pyramid last year. All the places you can see belong to Germany!
Now, he looked into the east from afar, and everything he could see and could not see belonged to Germany!
"Head of War, the first phase of our project has been completed. The power plant, railway station, airport, and cinema have been built. We can live here at any time and command our army here." Sperer said to Warrick.
Cialek nodded: "Fifteen minutes later, in the lobby outside my office, the first combat meeting was held, the content of the meeting, the formulation of principles on the strategic aspects of the Barbarossa plan."
The command organization here was established to fight against the Soviet Union. Now, the small friction on the border between Germany and the Soviet Union is just an inconspicuous minor event. Neither Germany nor the Soviet Union mobilized the war, so this war could not be expanded immediately.
Now, the plan to invade the Soviet Union has officially begun to be formulated, the project code is called Barbarossa!
After a gust of mountain wind, Cialek felt his mind extremely clear, and he also knew that this meeting was crucial!
"Everyone knows that the peace between the Soviet Union and ours is only temporary. On this continent, there is only one master, either us or the Soviet Union. We have a destined battle with the Soviet Union. Our Barbarossa plan is a combat plan against the Soviet Union." After entering the conference room, Cyric's opening remark was very direct.
The overall formulation of any war takes a lot of time, and requires a large number of staff to formulate specific action plans. Although the battlefield situation changes rapidly, general policies must be established, and various situations that occur must be inferred and more detailed plans must be formulated.
This requires a large number of people to do hard work, and today's meeting is mainly a major policy formulation.
The Soviet Union expanded externally, and Germany also expanded externally. There must be a destined battle between the two major powers, but it is just a question of who will take action first.
"The first item is about the number of troops." Cialek said: "The Soviet Union is vast. If we want to defeat the Soviet Union, we must mobilize the whole country. I suggest that the army must maintain at least five million people. Among them, our pure German army must have at least three million people."
The first proposal made by Cialick surprised everyone present.
You know, even if Germany swept across Europe, it did not mobilize more than one million troops. Now, it is necessary to mobilize more than five times the army!
Spel frowned: "If this is the case, we need to mobilize personnel from the front-line production department, which will lead to a lack of staff in our production."
"Yes, so we have to pay attention to the labor force in other countries, I remember, we have been preparing at least five years ago, right?"
One of the biggest disadvantages of Germany's war was population issues. Cialek also worked hard for this. The Germans were an excellent nation and were tenacious in fighting. It was a necessary choice to pull them out of the production line.
"I suggest that those Chinese workers can continue to be promoted to be foremen and manage labor in other countries." Cialek continued: "This will be of great help to stabilize production."
When the German workers on the production line are transferred away, others will need to continue production. Industrial workers from other countries in the occupied areas can be used, but it is best to rely on Chinese labor to manage them above their heads.
This is also the reason for their identity in their previous life. They have taken care of them. At the same time, they are indeed hard-working and responsible. More importantly, they will not be disgusted with the empire.
Speer nodded: "Well, it can be restored to its current scale in three to five months."
"As for the rest, we need to draw our servants from Italy, France, Spain and other countries. Although they cannot take on the front-line combat mission and maintain order in the rear, it is still fine." Cialek said.
The combat effectiveness of the Puzhong Army is quite low, but this does not mean that the Puzhong Army is useless. The Soviet Union is vast and it is not easy to occupy, so it is difficult for the Russians to conquer.
When one side is fighting on the front line, guerrillas will destroy logistics supplies and other things. At this time, the military power of the servants will be shown.
They are incapable of fighting on the front line. They can fight a guerrilla team and maintain safety in the rear, right?
Five million troops will be the most massive combat operation in Germany's history! All the generals present were extremely excited.
"Secondly, our strategic goals must be clarified, that is, to eliminate the vital forces of the Soviet Union and occupy Moscow!"
Chapter completed!
