    Kluge once served in the General Staff of the German Wehrmacht, and later went to the front line and was wounded on the Western Front.  Although he had never fought on the Eastern Front, he was very clear about the details of several opponents Germany faced in the European War. Whether at the General Staff or when he returned to Berlin to recuperate after being injured, his colleagues on the Eastern Front discussed the war situation.  , the vain, huge and unbeatable polar bear in the east gives everyone in Germany a headache.

    "The Russians" After reading the telegram, Kluge shook his head bitterly, as if he had returned to the period of the European War. His colleagues who had been injured on the Eastern Front were talking about the training of the Russians in front of him through gritted teeth.  How terrible, yet so difficult to deal with.

    "Your Excellency! I believe that the Soviet Union must not be given time, and their steps must be disrupted as soon as possible." After thinking about it thoughtfully, Kluge said firmly.

    "I'm afraid this will be difficult" Wu Peifu was slightly embarrassed. Fang Zida's plan was to launch an attack in the spring of next year. Wu Peifu, as the chief of general staff, certainly knew the reason. What's more, when Fang Zida asked for his opinion, Wu Peifu voted in favor.  Now all plans are being carried out in an orderly manner. Once they are mentioned, they will inevitably disrupt the whole plan. 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 the right time 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 pointed to the telegram,  He said sternly in front of him: "Your Excellency! I am a German. If there is any country in the world that understands Russia best, it is probably the Germans. On the European battlefield, the German Wehrmacht and Tsarist Russian troops have been fighting fiercely for several years. No matter what  Comparing the quality of soldiers, command and other aspects, in front of the most elite German army in the world, the scum-like Russians are almost useless except that they have more people than us."

    Speaking of this, Kluge sighed with a wry smile and asked: "But Your Excellency. You know, but this is how the great German team was forced to stop after a series of victories, because we  We encountered crazy resistance from the Russians. They used their vast territory and almost endless troops to actually block us. Until the end of the war, we Germans still failed to reach their capital. This situation is  It was unimaginable before the war began, because according to various analyses, the Russians' millions of troops were simply vulnerable. It was very simple to defeat Russia in the shortest possible time and force the opponent to surrender."

    "Is this one of the main reasons why the Kaiser decided to fight on two fronts?" Upon hearing this, Wu Peifu asked.

    "Yes, but His Majesty's decision was wrong. Even the German General Staff, which brought together the best staff officers in the world, was wrong. The final reality is there. Although there are some other factors involved, the Russians'  Madness caused Germany to lose the chance to win the war" Kluge said painfully, spreading his hands with a look of helplessness.

    Wu Peifu knew that the "other factors" in Kluge's last sentence referred to the Chinese government's help to Tsarist Russia.  If there had not been a large amount of material support from the Chinese government, it would have been difficult for the Russians to support it.  But how.  Who can say clearly?  During the war, Wu Peifu personally stayed on the front line as the head of the military observation group, and he was no stranger to the Russians.  Indeed, as Kluge said, compared with the well-trained elite German army, Russian soldiers are simply farmers who have just put down their hoes and picked up their rifles.  Not to mention regular training, I'm afraid these so-called soldiers in military uniforms may not even be able to walk in unison.  Moreover, the proportion of illiterate soldiers is even higher than that of the Chinese Army a few years ago.  Wu Peifu even witnessed with his own eyes that when a trainload of new recruits came to the front line to supplement the troops, the officer actually explained the principles of how to pull the gun and trigger the trigger when mobilizing them before the battle, because more than 90% of these people had never  They have never touched a weapon like a rifle. Going to the battlefield may be the first time they fire a gun in their lives.  Some people even died on the way to the charge without even firing 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, and that is fanaticism and firm belief.  As a result, the current Red Army is more terrifying and difficult to deal with than the original Tsarist Russian army. Coupled with this rough, brutal and disregard for human life, Wu Peifu is most worried about the combat methods.

    After thinking about it quietly, Wu Peifu finally rejected Kluge¡¯s suggestion to advance the plan.  From a tactical point of view, Kluge is right. Once Frunze is allowed to rapidly improve the quality of the Red Army in battle, the Chinese National Defense Forces will face more powerful opponents in the future.  However, attacking northward without preparation will inevitably bring great losses to the Chinese National Defense Forces. More importantly, the cold winter in Russia is really not suitable for war, and the Chinese have never fought in such a severe cold.  weathercombat experience.

    ¡°It is impossible to change the original plan.¡± Finally, Wu Peifu said.

    A trace of disappointment flashed across Kluge's eyes, but his expression did not change much. Perhaps he also understood in his heart that it was impossible to plan ahead.

    "Then there's only one other way." Kluge thought for a moment.

    "any solution?"

    "I learned a saying in China, which is called 'treat others in return.' Perhaps this is the best way to break the deadlock."

    "You meanthe Trotskyist army?" Wu Peifu raised his eyebrows and immediately thought of a possibility.

    "Yes!" Kluge nodded and analyzed: "According to the current intelligence, the Far East government's military strength is seriously insufficient. This is the main reason why they asked us for help and fell into passivity on the battlefield. Which leads to this  The problem lies in the hundreds of thousands of armed forces invested by the Far East Government. Such a large former Red Army's Eastward March Army. After receiving it, the Far East Government reorganized it out of various considerations. From a normal perspective, there is no problem.  , but precisely under the current circumstances, it has greatly hindered the front line."

    "You're right, if this situation hadn't been there, Frunze wouldn't have played it so beautifully." Wu Peifu nodded in agreement.

    Kluge continued: "Then the question is, since the Soviet Union can do this, why can't the Far East government do the same? There is no need to follow the normal steps to reorganize, and directly bring these troops to the front line.  Fight, use war to let them fulfill their determination to be loyal to the government, and thus complete the reorganization work."

    "In addition, there is no need to bring everyone to the battlefield. Let the Far East government go to the front line in batches like Frunze. After fighting one team, withdraw to the rear to reorganize, and then let another team fight" Wu Peifu said inferences.  , and laughed at the same time: "This is the certificate of nomination!"

    "A certificate of surrender?" Kluge asked in confusion, frowning slightly as he pondered the meaning of the word.

    After Wu Peifu explained with a smile what a certificate of nomenclature meant, Klug suddenly realized it and nodded in praise: "Not bad! A certificate of nomenclature is a certificate of nomenclature!"
