Volume Three, Cannons, Bombing His Mother, Chapter Four hundred and Thirty-Eight

Klug once served in the General Staff of the German Wehrmacht, and then went to the front line and was injured in the Western Front battlefield. Although he had never fought on the Eastern Front, he was very clear about the details of the opponents faced by Germany in the European War. Whether during the General Staff or the colleagues on the Eastern Front discussed the battle situation when discussing the situation, the vanity, huge and undefeated polar bear in the east gave all the Germans a headache.

"Russian..." After reading the telegram, Kluge shook his head bitterly, as if at this time he was back to the European War. His colleagues who had been injured from the Eastern Front gritted their teeth and said in front of them how bad the Russians' training was, but how difficult it was.

"Your Excellency! I think we must not give Soviet Russia time. We must disrupt their steps as soon as possible." After thinking about it thought about it, Kluge said firmly.

"This may be difficult..." Wu Peifu was slightly in trouble. Fang Zida's plan was to launch an attack in the beginning of next spring. Wu Peifu, as the chief of staff, knew the reason. Moreover, when Fang Zida solicited his opinions, Wu Peifu voted in agreement. Now all plans are in an orderly manner. Once mentioned, it will inevitably disrupt the whole situation. Moreover, many aspects are not ready. The Russian winter is coming again. These objective factors will bring great difficulties to the Chinese National Defense Forces.

"I understand your concerns. Of course, it is not appropriate to launch an attack according to the previous plan. But the problem is that the more time we give the Russians, the stronger they will become." Kluge stretched out his finger and pointed at the telegram and said seriously: "Your Excellency! I am a German. If there is a country in this world who knows Russia the best, it is probably the Germans. On the European battlefield, the German Wehrmacht and the Tsarist Russian troops fought fiercely for several years. Whether in terms of soldier quality, command and other aspects, in front of the most elite German team in the world, if the Russians are as scum, except for more people than us, they are almost useless."

Speaking of this, Kluge sighed and asked, "But you, you know, but that's it. After the great German team won a series of victories, they were forced to stop because we encountered the crazy resistance of the Russians. They used their vast territory and almost endless troops to block us. Until the end of the war, we Germans still failed to reach their capital. This situation was unimaginable before the war began, because according to many analysis, the Russians' millions of troops were simply vulnerable. It was very simple to defeat Russia in the shortest time and force their opponents to surrender."

"This is also one of the main reasons why the German Emperor decided to fight on two fronts?" Hearing this, Wu Peifu asked.

"Yes, but Your Majesty's decision was wrong, and even the German General Staff, which gathered the best staff officers in the world, was wrong. The final reality was there. Although there were some other factors in it, the Russian madness made Germany lose the opportunity to win the war..." Kluge said in pain, spreading his hands and looking helpless.

Wu Peifu knew that the "other factors" in Kluge's last sentence refer to the help of the Chinese government to Tsarist Russia. If there was no large amount of material support from the Chinese government, the Russians would probably be difficult to support it. But what? Who can tell it clearly? During the war, Wu Peifu, as the head of the military observation group, was not unfamiliar with the Russians. Indeed, as Kluge said, compared with the well-trained elite German team, the Russian soldiers were simply farmers who had just put down their hoes and picked up their rifles. Not to mention regular training, I'm afraid these

The so-called soldiers in military uniforms may not even be able to walk well. Moreover, the proportion of illiterate soldiers among soldiers is even more than that of the China National Team a few years ago. Wu Peifu even saw with his own eyes that when a train recruit was pulled to the front line to supplement the soldiers, the officers actually explained the principle of how to pull the gun and tie the plate machine before the battle, because more than 90% of these people had never touched a weapon like a rifle. Going to the battlefield may be the first time they have fired a shot in their lives. Some people were even killed on the way to charge without even shooting the first shot.

Compared with the Tsarist Russian army, the current Soviet Red Army is not much better, but the Red Army has an advantage that the Tsarist Russian army does not have, that is, its fanaticism and firm belief. In this way, the current Red Army is more terrifying and difficult than the Tsarist Russian army at that time. In addition, this kind of rough, arrogant and ignorant combat method is what Wu Peifu is most worried about.

After thinking about it, Wu Peifu finally refuted Kluge's plan to make an advance suggestion. From a tactical point of view, Kluge made a reasonable statement. Once Fu Longzhi was allowed to improve the quality of the Red Army rapidly in the battle, the Chinese National Defense Force would face a stronger opponent in the future. However, now heading north to attack without preparation will inevitably bring great losses to the Chinese National Defense Force. More importantly, Russia's cold winter is really not suitable for war, and the Chinese people have never had the experience of fighting in such severe cold weather.

"The original plan cannot be changed." Finally, Wu Peifu said.

A hint of disappointment flashed through Kluge's eyes, but his expression did not change much. Perhaps he knew in his heart that it was unlikely to plan ahead.

"There is only another way." Kluge thought for a while.

"What's the solution?"

"I learned a saying in China, "It is the best choice to break the deadlock with the right way."

"You mean... the Trotskyist army?" Wu Peifu raised his eyebrows and thought of a possibility in an instant.

"Yes!" Kluge nodded and analyzed: "According to current intelligence, the Far East government's troops are seriously insufficient, which is also the main reason why they asked us for help and fell into a passive position on the battlefield. The problem that led to this situation is that hundreds of thousands of armed forces of the Far East government were invested in the Far East government. Such a huge former Red Army advance eastward front army, after receiving it, the Far East government reorganized it for all considerations. It seems to be no problem in normal times, but it has greatly dragged the front line under the current situation."

"You are right. If this was not the case, Fu Longzhi would not have played this hand so beautifully." Wu Peifu nodded in agreement.

Kluge then said, "Then the problem is. Since the Soviet Union can do this, why can't the Far East government do this? It is impossible to reorganize these dispatched troops without following normal steps, and directly pull these dispatched troops to the front line to fight, and use war to make them complete their determination to be loyal to the government, so as to complete the reorganization work."

"In addition, there is no need to pull all the battles. Let the Far East government go to the front line in batches like Fu Longzhi. After fighting one team, withdraw to the rear and reorganize, and then let another team fight..." Wu Peifu said inferences, and laughed at the same time: "This is the case of arrogance!"

"Saying the Fame?" Kluge asked in confusion, frowned slightly to ponder the meaning of the word.

After Wu Peifu smiled and explained what it means to vote for the title, Kluge suddenly realized and nodded repeatedly and said, "Not bad! The vote for the title is the vote for the title!"
