    Both sides are old people who have been fighting, and they both know that there is nothing to talk about at this time. The only thing is to see who makes fewer mistakes and who can survive to the end.  Whoever vents his anger first will become the loser on the battlefield.

    "Damn it! They still have tanks in reserve!!" the German Marshal Paul Ludwig Ewald von Kleist, who was in charge of the command, yelled.  He had long anticipated that the Wehrmacht troops stationed in Turkey would launch an attack.

    At the same time, he also specifically asked the intelligence department to collect information about Zhang Xueliang.  As for Zhang Xueliang's devastating victory over the Japanese army, it was nothing to Kleist.

    "It would be strange if the Chinese National Defense Force, which is extremely well-equipped, cannot kill those monkeys squatting in the trees.  But in every battle commanded by Zhang Xueliang, Kleist could see the highlights of his command.

    If the National Defense Forces attaches great importance to the importance of air support to the army, this is very obvious in Zhang Xueliang.  Initial reconnaissance, followed by bombing and strafing support for the ground attack.

    Infantry-tank coordination, ground-air coordination, and artillery firepower extension, etc.  These unique offensive characteristics of the Chinese National Defense Force are extremely obvious in Zhang Xueliang.  Kleist had to admit that this offensive method was extremely terrifying.

    As long as any firepower emerges, it will definitely be knocked out.  The only way to deal with it is deep construction like the Japanese.  Or, like the French, build a crazy money-burning defense line.

    ¡°It¡¯s a pity that Germany cannot afford the money to do this now.  But without such fortifications, one can only hope to gain air superiority on the battlefield.  As long as they can control the airspace, their cooperative combat methods will be greatly reduced.

    "Fighter planes! We need more fighter planes!!" Kleist grabbed the phone and roared at Berlin's "Wolf's Lair": "Please tell the distinguished head of state that if there are not enough fighter planes to support us, we will soon be  All die here!"

    "Dear Marshal! It's not that we don't want to give you more fighter planes, but the current situation is that the Soviet battlefield is also very tight. Our troops attacking the Soviet Union have been forced to retreat. The focus of the air force's support now is in the Soviet Union  ¡­¡±

    "We really have no way to allocate fighter planes to support you": "I will try my best to allocate more fighters to you, but the number will not exceed one hundred"

    "This is the limit of what I can do, I hope you can understand." What else could Kleist say?  !  The situation on the battlefield is getting worse and worse for Germany and the German army.

    The German army tried its best to withstand the attack of the US and Soviet troops on the Eastern Front, but fighting every day was a grinding mill of flesh and blood.  Those damn Russians seem to be endlessly killing them. Once they kill a group of them on the battlefield, another group will come.

    And those Americans seemed to have endless guns and ammunition, sending weapons to the battlefield in batches.  Then go into battle.  It is said that their president has issued a new war call order, and a new group of soldiers are undergoing training.

    The German troops on the Eastern Front suffered heavy losses, and in comparison, the U.S. and Soviet troops did not fare much better.  Even without taking the lead, the U.S. military's losses were huge and horrific.  Daily strong attacks resulted in tens of thousands of casualties.

    It can be said that every step of the Allied advance from the Eastern Front was filled with blood and lives.  If this were not the case, they would not find Tu Menghu and demand that the Greek campaign be launched as soon as possible.  Because if they continue to fight like this, they will almost be unable to hold on anymore.

    Germany, wolf's lair.  Hitler was having a meeting in his war conference room.  Attendees included Marshals Rundstedt, Rommel, and Speller, as well as Admiral Krank, Director of Armored Forces Guderian, etc.

    "Dear Head of State, the news coming from the East and West Fronts shows that the Allies are attacking our fronts frantically, regardless of casualties. If they continue to fight like this, I worry that our defenses will be able to last until the end of the year at most"

    "Their general strategic plan has been calculated by the General Staff. The Allied forces starting from the Soviet Union want to forcibly invade Ukraine and other places. They will pass through Slovakia and the Czech Republic and finally attack our mainland"

    "As for the Chinese National Defense Forces in Greece, they attacked Greece from Turkey. They penetrated Serbia and Croatia and attacked Austria"

    Jodl, the director of the combat bureau, reported to Hitler the conclusions reached by the current general staff staff after tactical deductions.  What can be seen now is that the German army will not be able to sustain long under the Allied offensive.  Not surprisingly, the Allied forces were able to invade the German mainland within two months.

    This is the conclusion reached by the staff after tactical deductions.  But Yodel did not dare to tell Hitler this conclusion.  ?Now that Hitler has become unreasonable and tyrannical, no one knows the consequences of telling him this.

    "It still takes some time Just some time" Hitler murmured to himself: "Give us some more time. As long as he completes the successful test, we will be able to dominate the battlefield"

    At the same time, Washington, USA.  In the war conference room of the Pentagon, Roosevelt and a large group of generals were listening to an extremely important report.  Standing in front of them were the main personnel responsible for the Manhattan Project.

    "Husbands and generals, I hope you know. We can indeed use this weapon on the battlefield now, but the harm it will cause is unpredictable"

    Lawrence of the University of California, Berkeley, Eger Murphree of Columbia University,these people standing in front of Roosevelt and his generals are all well-known industry experts.  And they are now trying to persuade the president and these generals not to use the weapons they developed.

    "Experts, we understand your concerns. In fact, if it hadn't been for this moment, I would not be willing to use this weapon." Roosevelt said to these experts in his usual feminine tone.

    "But do you know?! In distant Siberia, our boys are fighting the German devils. The daily casualties alone are as high as tens of thousands!"

    "Our Ministry of National Defense sends notifications to the families of those young men who died in the war every day. Do you know how painful this is?!" Roosevelt said with great sadness: "The war brings crazy every day  consumption.¡±

    "Food, steel, oil, meat replenishmentetc., have you ever estimated how long we in the United States can sustain it?!" Roosevelt took a deep breath: "Our allies have already begun to attack Greece.  But our troops are stuck in Siberia."

    "What we have to do now is to open the road to Siberia as soon as possible. Then we will join them in Eastern Europe and finally nail the damn Germans! End this bitch? Son of a war!"

    "Your Excellency, I understand your feelings very well. But we also want you to know. Once this kind of weapon appears on the battlefield, it may cause huge harm!" But Egel Murphree stood up and faced  Roosevelt said solemnly.

    "This is not only the damage caused to the enemy on the battlefield, but also huge damage to ourselves. We cannot predict what this damage will bring"

    "But what is certain is that this kind of damage is long-lasting and irreversible. At least we can't find a way to deal with it for the time being" Eger Murfree said with a wry smile: "Even, this kind of weapon  It will cause huge damage to the area being attacked"

    "I don't care about anything now! I only know that as the president of this country, what I want to do and what I must do is to end this damn war! Let those damn Germans surrender quickly!"

    The news from the battlefield was not good for Roosevelt.  The U.S. fleet was attacked by a wolf pack of German submarine forces in the Atlantic Ocean, and at the same time, the German aircraft carrier forces were constantly trying to attack.

    Although overall the US military still has an advantage, it is extremely difficult to use this advantage to force a landing on the British mainland.  On the Soviet battlefield, the US military suffered heavy losses.  There are tens of thousands of casualties every day.

    But the progress achieved has been extremely limited. We have to admit that the Germans do have their talent in tight defense.  The Soviets' offensive regardless of casualties forced them to hold on.

    Although the front continued to advance, Allied casualties were increasing.  Roosevelt knew deeply that the longer the delay was, the more disadvantageous it would be for the Allies.  People in Europe have already spread the news. The lack of progress on the battlefield has made some people in Europe feel desperate.  Some of the original resistance forces are trying to defect to the Germans.

    Even the few neutral countries are now considering whether to provide war loans to Germany.  They were worried that the Germans, who were red-eyed for killing, would extend their claws towards them.  It just so happens that they are in the heart of the Axis Powers.

    Just like two giant beasts from the wild, both sides fighting in the wilderness were scarred.  Now it's just a matter of seeing who can hold on until the dawn of victory appears.  Roosevelt is now considering using the Manhattan Project because of this consideration.

    The war has reached this point, and the Allies, especially the US military, need an urgent and huge victory to inspire them.  The Chinese victory on the battlefield has been dazzling.

    If the United States does not win a decisive victory, how will the post-war dividends be distributed?  !  (End of chapter)
