The Third Reich: The Return of the King

Chapter 1113

“Führer, please allow me to lead the troops into battle. The Russians have already turned their attention to us. If we don’t teach them a lesson, they will only become more and more presumptuous!”

“Yes, Führer, we must take action. We must not let the Russian army enter Central Europe!”

After everyone learned of the Soviet army’s true intentions, they were all furious. They were extremely angry at the Soviet army’s audacity and clamored to lead troops to teach the Russians a severe lesson.

In response to everyone’s request for battle, Mainz neither nodded in agreement nor refuted them.

He was thinking about another question: Do the Russians know that Central Europe is the heartland of the Third Reich and the sphere of influence they are most concerned about?

The answer should be yes. The Russians certainly know this! It’s like the significance of the Caucasus region to the Russians!

The area where the Third Reich is located is a large plain. Except for some mountainous areas in Bavaria and other places in the south, other areas are flat plains and forests.

Such terrain is very beneficial to the development of the economy and people’s livelihood. The greatness of mankind Almost all great civilizations were born on plains, and only plains have enough land to cultivate and feed the population.

The development of industry urgently requires vast land and a large population, so the factories of various countries are almost all located in densely populated urban areas.

These plains of the empire are densely populated with hundreds of cities of all sizes, gathering more than 60% of the country’s population.

The importance of plains to the empire is self-evident!

However, this flat terrain is a very dangerous area militarily. Without the protection and obstruction of high mountains, the enemy’s cavalry and armored forces can drive straight in, quickly attack every town, and loot the entire plain!

For the empire, if they want to protect the safety of their core areas, then they must control the highlands in the south.!

Because if these high grounds fall into the hands of the enemy, then the enemy’s troops will be able to dominate and threaten every inch of the empire!

In this case, the entire empire will live under the threat of the enemy!

Before World War I, the reason why the Second Empire chose the Austro-Hungarian Empire as an ally instead of the more powerful Russian bear was because the terrain of the Austro-Hungarian Empire posed too great a threat to the Second Empire.

If the Austro-Hungarian Empire were turned into an enemy, then once the war broke out, the Second Empire would be at a huge disadvantage.

The Allied forces could easily launch an attack from the high ground within the Austro-Hungarian Empire, defeat the German defense line, and turn the cities and land within the empire into a scorched earth!

In order to resolve this threat, both the little mustache in history and Mainz himself tried their best. The two countries have been expanding to Central Europe.

Both countries took the road of external expansion after they controlled Central Europe and ensured their own safety!

At this time, the Mao Bears chose to break through from Romaniya and directly aimed at the weak spot of the Empire in Central Europe. This move was both accurate and hateful, and it was a fatal killing move at first glance!

And such a killing move, once used, would definitely be strongly retaliated by the Empire.

The Mao Bears should have known this in their hearts.

But even so, they still did it, which means that either the Mao Bears are strong enough to not fear the revenge of the Empire.

Or the Mao Bears did it deliberately, with the purpose of provoking the revenge of the Empire, so as to achieve some of their unspeakable secrets!

Of these two possibilities, a little analysis can determine that it is the second one.

Although the Mao Bears are strong, they are not invincible, so of course they are afraid of the revenge of the Empire.

And they still have to do this in the face of the fear of the revenge of the Empire, and the purpose is very obvious!

The Mao Bears want to divert attention and shift the battlefield to Central Europe, thereby attracting the firepower of the German army and reducing the burden on other battlefields!

“Ha, is this because he is worried that the Empire’s army’s assault capability is too strong, and once they join the war on the Eastern Front, he may not be able to hold his line of defense, so he plans to find another way, open up another battlefield, attract the Empire to attack, and thus help him overcome the difficulties?”

Mainz has already guessed the intentions of the Russians. He still holds an attitude of affirmation and approval towards the Russians’ combat plan and strategic conception. It is quite good that the other party can think of this trick. It can even be said that under the current situation where the power comparison between the Soviet Union and Germany is seriously unbalanced, the choice of the Russians is basically the best solution! There is no better way!

Moreover, even if the Empire sees through their intentions, as long as they can gain a foothold in Central Europe, it doesn’t matter even if the Empire sees through it! As long as the German army cannot take the high ground in Central Europe and cannot drive them all away, then the place where they are will continue to be the focus of this war, and will automatically attract the attention of the German army, greatly disperse the German troops, and disrupt the German action plan!

This plan should have come from Zhukov. This guy is very good at planning various large-scale action plans in history! The large-scale deep operations he created made the German army suffer a lot in World War II!

However, Mainz will not let the Russians succeed so easily!

“Guderian, where is your First Army stationed now?”

Guderian was stunned for a moment, and then turned into ecstasy!

From what the Führer meant, is he planning to dispatch his own troops to fight?

“After our troops returned, they were stationed in the Bavaria region!”

“Very good, do you remember the long-distance mobile training you conducted from Bavaria to the capital of Odili?”

Guderian shuddered and immediately recalled that very painful march.

In order to test the rapid marching ability of the armored forces, the German army once conducted a long-distance long-distance raid exercise.

In that exercise, Guderian’s First Army was selected to compete with the Cavalry Division of the Sixth Army.

That training was still fresh in his memory, because after more than 1,000 kilometers of running, a large number of malfunctions and breakdowns occurred in the armored forces, and as a result, there were not many tanks that arrived at the destination intact!

Although they won in the end, it was a very tragic victory.

So, when he heard the Führer mention this matter, Guderian suddenly remembered that painful experience!

“Remember, remember, what are your instructions, Führer?”
