Chapter 436 Good News From the Far East
After the bombing of the British naval base, Germany seemed to die all of a sudden. Originally, the pursuit of victory was the magic weapon, but it was a pity that Cyric did not do so.
This is a more daring plan, attracting the main force of the British to France and annihilating them in France! On the European continent, let the main British troops die, so that it will be much more convenient to land in the United Kingdom across the sea.
Now, the time is ripe!
In the base camp in Berlin, Cyric's men are eager to try.
In particular, Manstein, who had redrawn the plan to invade France, was extremely looking forward to it. Now, the French have taken the bait and misjudged the direction of the German army's invasion. Once the war begins, the British and French, Absolutely will be amazed!
"Führer, can our plan be launched?" Brausich asked Cyric.
Although Brausic has felt that he is not valued by the Führer in recent years, Brausic is quite a person who is very good at observing words and feelings. Since the whole plan has been promoted, he still supports the plan. Better.
When does it begin? This is the last question.
"We'll have to wait," Cyric said.
Have to wait? The officers present were all surprised. Didn't the Führer always like to be fast? Why is it slow this time?
"Wait for what?" Brausich asked.
"Wait our friends, we can only act when our friends can't let go."
Of course, Cyric's words meant something, and the people present quickly understood that the friend in Cyric's mouth was referring to the Soviet Union!
Is the Soviet Union a friend of Germany? of course not!
In this world, there are no eternal friends and no constant enemies, only eternal interests!
Now, the Soviet Union and Germany are quite close, but these old men are definitely not good people, they are also greedy.
At the beginning, when targeting Poland, Lao Maozi said that he would help Poland fight Germany, and at the same time he secretly signed an agreement with Germany to jointly carve up Poland.
But now, after dividing up Poland, the territories of Germany and Lao Maozi are directly bordered. If Germany wants to kill France, it must go all out. The main troops are all on the western front.
When the main force moved eastward and annexed Poland, Cyric was not worried that Britain and France would come from the west. After all, Britain and France did not want to fight.
However, the Soviet Union is different. This red empire has always hoped to expand. Therefore, when Germany is attacking the west with all its strength, it must ensure the security of the east!
The defeat of Germany in World War I had a lot to do with the two-front battle, and now Cyric must try his best to avoid this risk.
How to avoid it? Any agreement is invalid. In Cyric's previous words, the agreement is to be torn up! And the effective way is to contain it!
Cyric's brain is like a high-speed computer. It needs to take all kinds of situations into consideration, it needs to be laid out in advance, and it needs to be compared. Because of the butterfly effect caused by his crossing, will he make the history he knows well? changes happened?
If so, how?
Wait, wait, wait!
Just after Cyric mentioned this issue, the phone next to Cyric's close subordinate, Captain Graf of the Guard, rang. He picked up the phone, put it to his ear, and then his face was full of smiles.
"Führer, good news," Graff said to Cyric: "News from the Far East, the Battle of Nomenkan broke out!"
Hearing this news, Cyric was also quite happy, and he slapped his desk fiercely: "Okay, now, I announce that the scythe operation will start tonight!"
Waiting for this good news!
Far East. (This is not the focus of East China Hero. At the same time, in order to avoid some troubles, East China Hero is abbreviated. I hope you forgive me.)
Before the outbreak of World War II, it was already in a state of chaos.
In 1931, the Kwantung Army of the island country launched the September 18th Incident, which fully occupied the three northeastern provinces of China.
Puppet Manchukuo and Mongolia are neighbors, and there are Japanese and Soviet garrisoned troops respectively. The two sides have border disputes in many areas.
Since 1935, the Kwantung Army's troops stationed in Hailar and the Xing'an cavalry troops have used the "border" problem left over from history as an excuse to continue provocation in the Sino-Mongolian border area to test the military strength of the Soviet Union and Mongolia.
In 1936, 1,500 people from each detachment of the Kwantung Army took 50 cars, 12 armored vehicles, and 4 tanks to invade the Adagdolan area in Mongolia, and were defeated by the Soviet and Mongolian troops.
This temptation made the islanders quite unhappy, and they continued to conduct new temptations.
In July 1938, the 23rd Division of the Kwantung Army entered Hailar. In October of the same year, the 57th Special Army of the Soviet and Mongolian Far East Army entered Mongolia to garrison, and the two sides negotiated an armistice agreement.
This is of course only temporary. For the island country, their next strategic goal is very important. Going north and fighting the old feud, this is the idea of many people. They must test the truth!
Just this year, the islanders are doing it on a large scale!
In May of this year, the Kwantung Army decided to first attack the Mongolian People's Republic in the Nomonhan area, occupying its eastern territory, the Halaha area, as a springboard for the next step to invade the Soviet Union's Far East, thereby realizing the long-planned "north advance plan".
On May 13, the captain of the search team of the 23rd Division of the Kwantung Army, Zhongjian Dongbabaizang, finally kicked off the war. He led 104 cavalry and 90 armored soldiers, with the cooperation of 5 Japanese aircraft, to Hala. The Mongolian Army's 742 Highland attack east of the Ha River!
The war officially started, the Mongolian army began to retreat, and the Soviet army came up.
The 11th Tank Brigade of the Soviet Union quickly drove to the Haraha River area, and a part of the 36th Division of Motorized Infantry in Ulan-Ude gathered to the Haraha River.
The Kwantung Army was also quickly mobilized. The 23rd Division was dispatched in its entirety. Komatsuhara took 20,000 people to Nomonhan. The Kwantung Army Command transferred the 1st Tank Regiment and the 2nd Air Group to provide support.
The two sides are on the verge of breaking out, and a war is imminent. As the flower of the imperial army, the Kwantung Army represents the hope of the island country army.
In history, they met Zhukov. Although there are various opinions in later generations, it is undeniable that the Kwantung Army was beaten this time, which completely destroyed the hope of going north. They had to attack the Pacific Ocean, annoyed America, and finally ushered in the end.
But now, the situation is very different. The 1st Tank Regiment of the Kwantung Army has been fully equipped with the latest tanks, and they have great confidence!
