    There are always foreign politicians who believe that the reason why China has become a world economic power is simply because their population is as large as locusts. If a war really breaks out, the yellow race cannot be the opponent of the white race. The Soviet Union was defeated in 1920.  and Italy's defeat in Ethiopia are just two special cases.

    There is no lack of market for this kind of remarks in European and American countries, and many politicians and racists will say this.

    We must believe the fact that during the 1940s, racists were the mainstream of the world. Broadly speaking, until the 1970s, the United States was still under the rule of racists.

    If the Chinese Empire wants to rise to become a real world hegemon during this period, it still has a lot of things to do. Defeating the German nation, the white people who think they are the best at fighting, may be a good way.

    Of course, this doesn¡¯t make much sense. As long as they want to implement racial discrimination, racial discrimination will be everywhere.

    Therefore, the only good way is to truly rule the world, whether it is economic, military, or other things, like the Whip of God, which puts the entire world under the rule of the Chinese Empire.

    This is the best result.

    The Chinese may lack the special and strict discipline of the German nation, but the Chinese have a spirit of dedication and hard work that other nations do not have.

    The Chinese people are brave.

    The Chinese also have a strong desire for victory.

    Both China and Germany are trying their best to mobilize all resources to the battlefield of the Volga Battle. The Chinese Empire has an even more obvious advantage. It has dispatched more troops and materials, and is more powerful in terms of tactics and equipment.

    Volgograd, which has experienced several wars, has long become a city of devils, with broken arms and ruins, in disarray. Heavy and solid steel tanks rolled over the ruins of the city, making strange clicking noises. Soldiers from the 14th Armored Infantry Division followed.  As tanks and infantry armored vehicles continued to advance through the ruins, snipers from both armies maneuvered and fought everywhere in the ruins of the city. From time to time, cold gunshots rang out, or bursts of machine gun fire broke out.

    Under different circumstances of tactical training and equipment, there are obvious differences in the combat methods of the two armies. The German infantry usually uses the general-purpose machine gun MG34 as the main firepower point, building simple machine gun fortresses to seize high points and important control points, while the Imperial  The infantry at the company level mainly relies on special new weapons such as rocket launchers.

    In tactical training, the difference between the two sides lies here, focusing on different superior weapons for offense and defense. The Imperial infantry is always required to accompany tanks and armored vehicles in training. Although the Empire also has a TG35\40 general-purpose machine gun similar to the MG34, but in  In the actual tactical attack, more reliance is placed on the 12mm caliber M20 heavy machine gun on the infantry fighting vehicle, which plays the main counterattack firepower. The infantry needs to cooperate with the artillery of tanks and armored vehicles at the first time, using rocket launchers, grenade guns, and mortars.  Use cannon to quickly eliminate the opponent's fire points.

    The squad level is mainly equipped with a gun-mounted 30mm grenade launcher, with an effective range of 300M. This is the most important stronghold attack firepower of the Imperial Army at the squad level. It is matched with the M35 assault rifle with more powerful firepower, but in the platoon  At the first level, the Imperial Army has been equipped with HT33 45mm rocket launchers and 60mm mortars, which can effectively carry out three-dimensional positional attacks.

    In the large-scale mechanized lightning operations, the Nazi German army overemphasized the core position of tanks. For the sake of speed and mobility, most of the firepower of infantry at the squad and platoon levels was reduced. Although the grenades of German soldiers at the squad level were light, they were completely useless.  It cannot compete with the more accurate grenade launchers. At the platoon level, relying only on the fire interception capability of the M34 general machine gun cannot effectively counter the three-dimensional attack constructed by the Imperial Army at the platoon level, especially in the face of the M20 heavy weapon.  When using a machine gun, the caliber of a general-purpose machine gun still cannot guarantee sufficient counterattack power.

    The two sides have launched a two-week tug-of-war in Volgograd. As a result, the German army has been continuously pushed out of the city and the casualties have become more serious. Although the German 30mm anti-tank gun is light, it is usually difficult to compare with the 400M in terms of combat effectiveness.  It can effectively attack MBT series tanks within 750M, and it can effectively attack the MBV infantry fighting vehicle of the Imperial Army within a distance of 750M.

    The length of modern military equipment always restricts each other. The M20 heavy machine gun equipped with the MBV2\3 series of infantry fighting vehicles has extremely strong anti-infantry cannon and infantry machine gun stronghold capabilities within a range of 1300M. In order to effectively  To launch an offensive in urban street fighting, the Imperial Army improved the frontline engineering combat vehicle based on the MBT35 tank. It installed a heavier power engine and a huge bulldozing device, or a pressure demining device, which can effectively clear the battlefield, making the tank  and armored vehicles can advance quickly, while well-trained soldiers are more dispersed during the advancement process. Through the coordinated combat of infantry, the enemy's defensive counterattacks can be effectively restrained.

    The German army retained a large number of tanks on the battlefield for street fighting. This tactic avoided the use of Panzer IV tanks compared to MBTs.35\40 tanks have shortcomings, but on the premise of giving up mobile large-scale combat, the threat that the IV tank can pose to the Imperial Army has also been greatly reduced.

    The two sides continued to involve each other in the tactical environment, and repeatedly attacked and fought. Overall, the Imperial Army had a clear advantage. General Wei Lihuang tried to use helicopters to join in to resolve the street battle as soon as possible, but the effect was not good.  The continued use of helicopter formations to carry out surprise attacks on enemy artillery positions and supply lines by detours still has extremely high combat value for the German army. The German military engineering department has made great technical improvements and developed tactics that can effectively restrain this  Before the armored vehicles, at least in the Battle of Volgograd, the German army still had no solution to the armed helicopter formation of the Imperial Army Aviation Regiment.

    In order to contain the advance of the Imperial Army, the Nazi German army also began to mobilize missiles to fight back. However, shortcomings in effective range and accuracy meant that the German missile force was not enough to threaten the important military units of the Empire. Moreover, the Imperial Air Force could also pass through  The way fighter planes intercept missiles effectively prevents the German missile forces from functioning.

    On the British battlefield in World War II, Britain used Meteor fighter jets to intercept a large number of German cruise missiles. It can be seen that German cruise missiles had many serious shortcomings in overload maneuverability and speed. In fact, the speed of its cruise missiles was far inferior to that of jets.  fighter jet.

    The tug-of-war between the Chinese and German armies in Volgograd has lasted for two weeks. The main force of the German Army Group Center has suffered heavy losses, and its strongholds and defense lines in the city have basically been cleared.

    On October 14, 1941, the Second Armored Corps led by Lieutenant General Su Bin suddenly inserted into Kharkov, Ukraine, the hinterland behind enemy lines. The Polish Kharkov Front stationed in this area collapsed without a fight. The 370,000-strong force was  It was shattered overnight and about half of the army officers and soldiers were captured.

    Su Bin's advance was not very fast, but he spent a lot of time disguised tactics, making a posture of annihilating the German garrison in the North Caucasus and attacking the southern defense line of the German Army Group Center. After confusing the enemy, he suddenly bypassed the German army.  The Polish army was completely unprepared for battle and was defeated almost immediately.

    This situation shocked both Nazi Germany and Poland. Once Su Bin's Second Armored Corps defeated the main forces in Ukraine and Ukraine fell, the main forces of the two German army groups would be blocked on the Russian battlefield and unable to withdraw southward.  .

    The German Army Group North, which was seeking emergency reinforcements for Army Group Center, hurriedly moved south. The Empire's Northwestern Army also sent the main army group to form the First Armored Corps to attack Tambov to carry out a diversionary attack on Army Group North.

    Due to the sudden insertion of Su Bin's Second Armored Corps, the entire Russian battlefield became chaotic. Nazi Germany's two army groups in the Russian battlefield were cut into a defense line of more than 300 kilometers wide, unable to effectively support each other and deploy.  Army Group Center in the North Caucasus and the west bank of the Volga River also suffered heavy losses in succession and lost many of its main forces. Only Heinz Guderian's 2nd Armored Group could maintain its main force intact and still had strong combat effectiveness.  .

    At this time, Wei Lihuang, who had failed several attempts to encircle and annihilate the Nazi 2nd Armored Group, had made up his mind to organize the 14th and 15th Group Armies and the two newly arrived armored group armies into a new Third Armored Group, mobilizing more than 13,000  A force of armor and tanks surrounded and annihilated the 2nd Armored Group with twice the strength of its opponent. The entire Nazi Army Group Center must be completely annihilated on the Russian battlefield.

    War is like this. There are only two ways to win. One is to implement your own tactics and achieve your goals; the other is to disrupt the enemy's tactics.

    Su Bin's sudden intervention effectively disrupted the German army's tactics, leaving the Nazi German army in complete chaos. The original combat plan was completely scrapped. Before the German General Staff issued a new combat plan, this gap was used to  The German army was effectively divided and surrounded, leaving them in a situation where they were fighting independently and were annihilated one by one.

    Now is the best time to annihilate the 2nd Armored Group, the main force of the German ace. All operations of the Northwest Army are carried out around this. Su Bin's 1st Armored Corps goes south to Kiev to contain the main force of the German Northern Army Group and the Polish Front. Xue Yue's 2nd Armored Group  The first armored corps was responsible for the frontal attack on the German army, cutting Army Group Center into three sections, and cooperating with the third armored corps and multiple mechanized infantry corps to annihilate the 2nd armored group in the Mikhailovka area.

    On October 17, 1941, after the Northwest Army basically won the victory in the Battle of Volgograd and severely damaged the German Army Group Center, Crown Prince Yuhua took a special plane to the front line to inspect commanders and soldiers at all levels.

    ?Compared to the aging Emperor of the Song Dynasty, Crown Prince Yuhua, who has just arrived in his thirties, is obviously younger and more energetic. With the reputation of his father, he also has a strong reputation in the country.He has a high degree of support and is deeply loved by the military and civilians.

    To a certain extent, Crown Prince Yuhua is more of a dove than a hawk like the emperor.

    Crown Prince Yuhua refused to use war to solve problems from the bottom of his heart, but he also knew that the problems of Nazi Germany could only be solved by war. Even though he had received a good military education and held an important position in the Central Military Department, Crown Prince Yuhua still lacked  Understanding and cognition of modern warfare.

    Until he reaches the front line.

    The front line of Volgograd was completely different from what he had imagined. The wide river divided the city into two parts. Some gray cement buildings and factories could still be preserved in the suburbs on the east bank, but the city on the west bank had become a real place of ruins.  , countless factories in the past have long since collapsed.

    Once upon a time, during the time of the former Soviet Union, was this place called Stalingrad such a prosperous and prosperous place?

    Countless refugees gathered in refugee camps on the east coast, doing some labor within their capabilities in accordance with the requirements of the Military Refugee Administration in exchange for some ration income, while other idle refugees could only receive extremely pitiful relief food.

    Crown Prince Yuhua really wanted to say something for these Russian refugees and ask the Northwest Army to put more effort and attention into ensuring the survival of these refugees, but he could not speak. It was not easy to win this battle. The army  There is not much left to take care of refugees.

    Crown Prince Yuhua is not very tall. He seems to be a little shorter than his father. He has gained some weight in the past few years, but he is still very handsome. Moreover, he is not a dignified person like his father and appears to be approachable.  It's easy to talk and be accommodating.

    To put it simply, he is actually a very kind person, but sometimes he has to endure the kindness in his heart.

    After arriving at the front line, Crown Prince Yuhua personally went to the front line to inspect the officers and soldiers fighting on the front line, shook hands with them and talked with them, and also had meals with the officers and soldiers at the front line.  The empire currently has two princes serving on the front line. Even if they are not on the Russian battlefield, the royal family's support for the empire's war can be said to be all-round.

    Crown Prince Yuhua spent a whole day visiting the front line to express condolences and brought hundreds of tons of canned bacon to the soldiers. It was not until the evening that he had the opportunity to sit down and meet with General Wei Lihuang, who was actually in charge of commanding the campaign.  .

    General Wei Lihuang is a middle-aged general who has stood out in recent years. Previously, Crown Prince Yuhua and this general were not only unfamiliar with each other, but it was even the first time they met each other.

    After meeting Crown Prince Yuhua, General Wei Lihuang led more than a dozen of his staff officers and frontline commanders to bow and salute. Crown Prince Yuhua calmly asked them all to stand up, thanking them for their hard work and bloody battle on the frontline.  , and then invited them to dine together.

    Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, the Imperial Wehrmacht has established the iron law of equal treatment for officers and soldiers. Although the implementation has not been so strict in the past few years, compared with the armies of other countries, the situation has always been much better, and the supplies on the front line are also relatively tight.  It was a rare visit from the Crown Prince today, and General Wei Lihuang and others also enjoyed a high-standard state banquet.

    It should be said that this was a banquet given by the emperor, so Crown Prince Yuhua was specially invited to host the celebration banquet and wished them better results in the future.

    Because the frontline military situation was still in a state of emergency, not all generals attended the banquet this time, and everyone was pressed for time. The entire state banquet only lasted half an hour and ended hastily.

    After Crown Prince Yuhua personally sent them off from the banquet hall, he left General Wei Lihuang alone and asked with General Wei Lihuang: "General Wei, how long do you think it will take for our army to eliminate the German army on the Russian battlefield?"

    General Wei Lihuang was a little surprised. He felt that this question should not be answered by him, but considering that the person asking the question was His Royal Highness, he still answered very carefully: "Theoretically, the Russian battlefield can be completed before the end of this year.  The main German army has been eliminated, but there are still many variables here. I predict that Germany will still strengthen the deployment of troops from other slave countries to support the Ukrainian region and contain the main force of our army. Therefore, many things are difficult to say clearly, but it is expected that in May next year  Previously, unless Germany continued to expand its main force reinforcements, it would completely put an end to the Russian war. The Imperial Wehrmacht would also smoothly advance into Ukraine and Poland, threatening Germany's homeland. However, the combat effectiveness of the Polish army should not be underestimated.  Yes, perhaps we will still encounter very strong resistance in Poland."

    Crown Prince Yuhua agreed: "Yes, your consideration is very thorough, and I very much agree with your point of view."

    Even as the crown prince, Crown Prince Yuhua did not ask too much about General Wei Lihuang¡¯s decisive battle intentions and combat strategies. Only Wei Lihuang and the Central Defense Commission know how the final decisive battle will be launched.

    Crown Prince Yuhua was stranded on the front line for a long timeAt the same time, he went to the front line to reward the soldiers of the three armies, encourage their morale, and went to the front line to meet with those generals who were at the forefront of the war and could not attend the state banquet. Even on the battlefield with heavy artillery fire, he was willing to go to the front line to express condolences to the soldiers on the front line.  .

    It wasn't until Wei Lihuang led the Northwest Army to prepare for an all-out attack on Poland, and a larger-scale all-out offensive campaign was about to begin, that Crown Prince Yuhua left the front line and took a special plane to Washington, USA, where he met with US President Roosevelt and  British Prime Minister Churchill.

    The Emperor of the Song Dynasty did not personally attend such a meeting of giants. Although he knew that the United States had plans to further participate in the war, there was still huge public resistance in the United States.

    With China officially declaring war, from the perspective of the United States, the war has actually decided the winner. Even if it takes a few years, when the war is over, the world will re-establish a new order.

    No matter what, the United States hopes to establish such a new order together with China, Britain, and France, at least to participate in the entire order establishment process, make decisions together, and work hard to retain more American interests.

    The United States needs an excuse, such as Germany attacking American merchant ships again, but Germany will not do this because American merchant ships not only transport supplies to Britain and France, but also sell supplies to neutral countries, and a large part of these supplies will enter the Nazi camp.

    What's more, at this time, Germany did not have the ability to cross the blockade of the Chinese and British fleets in the Atlantic. Germany did build its own aircraft carriers. However, after China's Central Combined Air Fleet entered the Atlantic, it established two aircraft carriers in Lisbon and Milford Harbor in the United Kingdom.  Naval base, together with the British Navy, formed a huge naval defense line.

    Unlike the United Kingdom, China's Central Combined Air Fleet has an unprecedented scale of aircraft carriers and powerful anti-submarine forces. More than 140 destroyers belong to this fleet, which is enough to block the entire Western Atlantic, the Norwegian Sea, and the North Sea, making German submarine tactics impossible.  play.

    China¡¯s complete withdrawal from the Japanese battlefield resulted in the Chinese Air Force and Navy deploying more than 6,000 J5 series attack bombers in the UK and assisting the UK with more than 2,000 aircraft. Such a large scale is enough to establish a complete surveillance network throughout the entire sea area.

    With the large-scale intervention of the Chinese Air Force, the air battle between Britain and Germany has basically lost its suspense. The Chinese Air Force not only has the best-performing jet fighters in the world, but also relied on its profound technological accumulation to quickly develop a faster P-50 jet.  Fighter, this type of fighter is produced faster in China.

    Large-scale rapid production makes the P50 fighter's service life only 150 hours, but it is enough to meet the expenses in the war. The key is that war does not require those too delicate aircraft. Many aircraft do not even have a 30-hour service life. On average,  30 hours of use seems to be the limit.

    War is like this. According to statistics, on average, every plane will crash within 5 takeoffs and landings.

    A combat aircraft can usually only be used 5 times.

    Especially for the German Air Force, the aircraft they now produce have also become more clumsy. During World War II, the production of tens of thousands of combat aircraft was pieced together in this way.

    Of course, long-lived combat aircraft like the J-5 still exist. The J-5 Tiger Shark fighter has a payload and space that exceeds that of contemporary fighters, which allows it to install a more powerful radar and a larger fuel tank.  Cruising distances of thousands of kilometers.

    It has two pilots and a flight attendant. The flight attendant can perform different tasks according to the situation, such as monitoring the sea surface for a long time and dropping depth bombs.

    This allows the Tiger Shark fighter to survive in this new era of war like a monster, transforming from a frontline bomber into a reconnaissance aircraft, patrol aircraft, warning aircraft, and anti-submarine aircraft.

    They are still the giants and actual rulers over the ocean. The result of the huge number of Tiger Shark fighter jets in conjunction with the Central United Air Fleet is to block the entire German Navy in the port, unable to rush into the Atlantic Ocean.

    In the Eastern European battlefield, a large number of new air forces and new models of P50 fighters began to appear on the battlefield after receiving training. The huge number made up for the lack of elite pilots and J-6 jet fighters.

    When a war really breaks out, you will always use whatever you have.

    Wei Lihuang also wants more MBT40 tanks. This elite main battle tank not only has the performance of the German medium and light tanks, but also has the defensive power of the German heavy tanks, more powerful artillery, and better armor-piercing projectiles.

    However, such a tank is more complicated to produce. The tank that is easier to produce is the MBT35. They are produced in large quantities. Although there are some differences in the MBT35 produced by each factory, quantity is their biggest advantage.

    The number of rocket launchers that are easier to produceAt greater distances, it exceeds tanks and other armored vehicles.

    Wei Lihuang only has rocket launchers. No matter what other equipment he needs, only the number of rocket launchers can be distributed to him several times over. If he wants 10,000 rocket launchers, the Central Military Headquarters can give him 20,000.

    Because this kind of thing is really easy to produce, easier than producing artillery.

    All Wei Lihuang could do was to lead the Northwest Army to change the original tactical system, use JP30\50\70 rocket launchers that were too large for the German army to face as the core force of the tactics, and use large-scale rocket attacks to smash them  The enemy defends in depth and then uses large-scale armored corps to penetrate the opponent's defense line.

    However, Wei Lihuang¡¯s next main offensive target is Poland.

    He concentrated the main force of the armored forces in his hands into three armored corps and began to concentrate the armored forces. The first armored corps was deployed in Tambov to threaten the German Army Group North, while the main force was concentrated in the Ukrainian theater.

    He gave up the plan to attack Romania, and wanted to concentrate military forces on attacking Poland and isolate the German Army Group Northern in Moscow and the surrounding areas. In the end, he would destroy the German Army Group Northern here.

    After annihilating the main forces of the two major German army groups, he will divide his forces into two groups and go all the way south to the Balkans to eliminate Romania and Bulgaria, the slave countries of the Nazis. The other group will attack the Czech Republic and Austria and launch a large-scale peripheral annihilation war against Germany.  Attract the German army's main force and complete the annihilation of the German army's effective forces on the battlefields of Hungary and the Czech Republic, rather than the final decisive battle with the German army in Germany itself.

    Among all the slave countries of Nazi Germany, Poland is the strongest, because it was originally supported by the empire, and today, the empire wants to destroy it single-handedly.

    On December 5, 1941, shortly after Crown Prince Yuhua left the frontline battlefield, General Wei Lihuang issued a combat order in the name of the Chief of Staff of the Northwest Army, and launched a comprehensive attack on Poland in accordance with the combat plan negotiated between the Northwest Military Headquarters and the Central Military Headquarters.  quick attack.

    In Lublin, a large-scale frontal war took place between the armored corps of both sides.

    The Battle of Lublin.

    This is how it broke out.

    The German army mobilized a large number of troops from its headquarters and the western theater, plus the troops of Hungary and other slave countries, and launched a decisive battle in Lublin with more than 3.4 million troops from the Northwest Army.

    The German army, Poland and the slave countries invested a total of 4.2 million troops, 14,000 aircraft, 23,000 artillery pieces and 15,000 tanks. This was an all-out counterattack by the German army and Poland to unite the entire Western Front combat power. This was the great will of Hitler.  .

    The person responsible for commanding this battle was not the Polish head of state or a Polish general, but German Field Marshal Hans von Kluge. It is difficult to say who is superior between Field Marshal Kluge and General Wei Lihuang, but in  In terms of strength, the two sides are actually not equal.

    The Northwest Military Headquarters has gathered nearly half of the empire's military strength, with 45,000 aircraft, 27,000 artillery pieces and 23,000 tanks on the battlefield.

    This is a decisive battle of unprecedented scale.

    Wei Lihuang is one of the very few military commanders in this era who has fully realized air supremacy. In the preparations for this decisive battle, his first requirement is to have absolute dominance of the air. The air force's decisive battle must take precedence over the army.  , seizing air supremacy will launch a large-scale land war.

    Marshal Kruger has an inherent disadvantage in this regard. Without the authority to command the air force, he cannot mobilize more air forces for a decisive battle. In the Anglo-German air battle, the number of aircraft lost by the German army was difficult to make up, and the source of greater losses was  losses to flight crews.

    After the battle began, the German army quickly lost air superiority. It was too dispersed and could not effectively integrate with the army's air defense force. The Luftwaffe was quickly swept away and lost most of its airports, so that the Luftwaffe needed to take off from Germany and the Czech Republic.  , in order to effectively support operations.

    The German Air Force even lacks cooperation with the Army, and has no strategic intention to protect the German Army. The pure chivalry and the military thinking of trying to shoot down more Chinese fighter planes on its own are completely unsuitable for the changes in this modern war.

    The Imperial Air Force entered Germany and the Czech Republic for the first time, attacking airports in eastern Germany. The Luftwaffe suffered heavy losses and had lost its ability to fight on the Polish battlefield before January 1942.

    Before the arrival of the more severe winter, the Northwestern Army finally launched a large-scale offensive. Two armored corps attacked the Polish and German defense lines frontally, tearing apart the positions of the Polish Army Group in the East.

    ??Continuously growing and changing during the war.

    The military reforms of the Northwest Military Department of the Imperial Defense Force have been continuously advancing and developing. In order to adapt to this large-scale legion operation, Wei Lihuang and other generals have made great efforts.?'s attempts and reforms concentrated the main tank forces into three armored corps, with the main battle tank as the core, and established a tactical system around the main battle tank, through a large number and complex system of infantry armored vehicles, light tanks, and tank destroyers.  Work together to build the three most powerful armored corps.

    In addition to these three large-scale armored corps, the Northwest Army has transformed 11 of the 14 group armies into mechanized group armies, mainly infantry and armored vehicles, allowing the troops to conduct large-scale mobile operations in the form of group armies.  , retaining three group armies to maintain light mechanized formations for decisive battles in mountainous and urban positions.

    In terms of reserve strength, the Northwest Army also has 45 new infantry divisions under its jurisdiction. Some of these new infantry divisions are mechanized armored divisions, and most of them are light mechanized units with relatively cheap establishment and large numbers of soldiers.

    With the 7.62mm rifle cartridge, the Imperial Army¡¯s small arms system has developed to its extreme.

    The Imperial Army has all been equipped with 7.62mm caliber M35\35B\40 assault rifles. In large-scale battles with millions of military forces, soldiers are still the most important force in killing enemy troops. In actual battles,  About 70 enemy soldiers still had to be killed by soldiers on the ground, and less than 20 died from air force bombing and strafing. The role that this series of M35 assault rifles can play on the battlefield is huge.  .

    Compared to the Polish troops, which still use semi-automatic rifles, and the German army, which uses submachine guns to make up for front-line firepower, the Imperial Army's land operations have stronger lethality efficiency, especially in the parallel advancement of positions, surrounding main battle tanks, infantry and armored vehicles.  , light tank soldier assault troops can quickly occupy enemy positions.

    The superior quality and numerous advantages of tanks allowed the Imperial Army to concentrate tank troops to penetrate defenses, and to deploy a large number of MBT33\35 tanks in various mechanized armored armies, as the main force of frontline assaults, tearing apart the German and Polish forces.  The line of defense of the troops.

    On January 20, 1942, after a month-long battle, the Northwestern Army easily crushed the Polish and German coalition forces with a huge advantage, annihilating the main Polish force of more than 3 million on the Lublin battlefield.

    This is a fundamentally asymmetrical battle.

    Behind the apparent similarity in strength, there is actually a gap that is difficult to bridge between the two sides. In addition to their equal strength in artillery and their advantages in total army personnel, there are huge gaps between the two sides in all aspects.

    On January 27, 1942, the Northwest Army captured Warsaw.

    The Polish government announced its unconditional surrender.

    Hitler's head of state immediately established a new Polish puppet government in the Poznan area, but it was of little significance. Poland's military power had been basically crushed, and the remaining troops could not pose any threat to the Northwest Army.

    The German army suffered heavy losses in the Battle of Lublin and completely lost the initiative in the war. Only the Northern Army Group was left guarding Moscow and St. Petersburg. The German Army Group Southern was cut apart by the Northwest Army, and the Northern Army Group was completely isolated and surrounded.

    The disastrous defeat in the Battle of Lublin made it difficult for the Nazi Germans to prevent a large-scale offensive within a short period of half a year and to effectively counterattack the Northwest Army to avoid the annihilation of Army Group North.

    The severe cold weather gave the Nazi Germans a temporary respite.

    The two sides ceased activity in February and did not launch a large-scale offensive. Even in the Western European battlefield, the allied coalition forces formed by the empire in Spain and the Iberian Peninsula did not launch a large-scale offensive.

    Marshal Montgomery was responsible for commanding the Allied forces, while Liu Gengyun left the Western European theater and went south to command the operations of the Imperial African Army, driving the Italian army out of North Africa.

    When the Second World War reached this stage, the situation was already very unfavorable to Germany.

    There was a fierce conflict between Head of State Hitler and the German Ministry of Defense. In the end, Marshal Brauchitsch, the commander-in-chief of the German Army, was ordered to be removed from his post and took all the responsibility for the defeat. Head of State Hitler personally controlled the German Army, but such a result was impossible.  Really changing crises on the battlefield.

    The Chinese Empire is running crazily at an extremely high speed. The collection and production of all war materials are placed at the highest level of the country. With the empire's dominance over Asia and the binding of the Asian Alliance's Security Alliance Agreement, the empire can continuously and legitimately  All supplies are transferred in large quantities from Asia.

    Of the empire's urbanized population of nearly 65%, about 17% actually belong to workers, but these 80 million workers are enough to change the world. During the first industrial revolution, Britain only had 2 to 3 million workers, producing  The products that come out can change the entire world and meet the needs of the world.

    More than 80 million workers are a challenge and threat to the entire world in peacetime. They need a huge market to meet their production, maintain their livelihood and this industry.??The functioning of society.

    In times of war, such a large number of workers is enough to determine the shape of the war.

    All railways, air and sea routes are operating at overload, and large amounts of military supplies are transported to the front line. The role of currency is to promote the circulation of commodities, and commodities must be consumed in order to continue to generate markets.

    The most wonderful thing about war is the endless consumable goods.

    This is war prosperity.

    The prerequisite for war prosperity is the maintenance of currency and sufficient industrial resources.

    Although the empire has lost its actual colonies, it controls the development of resources throughout Asia and can seek more resource support from Australia, South America and Africa.

    Behind the more than 12 million troops of the navy, army and air force, each soldier has an average production capacity of 7 workers.

    In fact, the industrial production capacity of the empire almost maintains the expenditure of military supplies for the entire Allied camp. Industrial powers such as the United Kingdom also mobilize more labor forces to fight on the battlefield and rely heavily on war bonds to purchase supplies from China.

    After the war, it was impossible for the Song Emperor and the central government of the empire to forgive Britain's national debt. Even if the war ended, the debts that European countries would have to bear would be enough for the empire to firmly control Europe's economic lifeline.
