"It's already obvious that the coalition government has given up the possibility of cooperating with us..." Gerhardt is not a fool. As the negotiations gradually deepen, he has learned the real idea of ​​the coalition government.

But even so, Gerhart and Franz had to continue this meaningless negotiation. The reason was simple, and Germany needed time to occupy the Soviet Union.

And for the same purpose, there are actually people from the coalition government. In the eyes of the coalition government, it is acceptable to destroy the Soviet Union as long as the German army does not completely occupy the Soviet Union.

And now more than 200,000 British and American coalition forces have entered the Soviet Union. As long as they exist, Germany will not easily occupy the Soviet Union. In this way, the greater the Soviet Union consumed by Germany, the more beneficial it will be to the coalition government.

Of course, the Soviet Union could not be completely defeated, otherwise it would be detrimental to the war situation of the entire allies.

"But we still need to buy time for Germany, we need to win the war in the Soviet Union. This will be the key to the rise of Germany!" Gerhard took a deep breath and said, "So, we need to continue to persevere."

Persist in Germany's victory or failure. Gerhardt is not the Germans in Germany who only see Germany's continuous victory. On the contrary, he can see clearly outside Germany than others.

He knew that a large part of the reason why Germany won its victory in Europe was internal friction between Britain and France. Other low-level countries such as the Netherlands and Belgium were not united, had limited troops, and had old equipment and tactics.

The most important thing is: European countries generally have little territory, and Germany may have to attack the other side's capital with just one blitzkrieg, directly dismantling their will to resist.

But the situation is different now. Germany is now facing the Soviet Union with an extremely vast territory. Tens of millions of square kilometers of land and over 100 million people are all huge advantages of the Soviet Union.

In contrast, although Germany has advantages in weapons and military quality, its population seems so insignificant compared to the hundreds of millions of the Soviet Union.

In history, in 1941, the Soviet Union once conducted demographic statistics. At that time, the total population of the entire Soviet Union was 180 million, and even in this time and space, part of the population was lost due to civil wars and famine.

However, the total population of the Soviet Union still exceeded 100 million. In some aspects, the Soviet Union was one of the few countries that could mobilize a large number of people to join the army in a short period of time.

The remaining few are the current coalition government and the other is the United States of America.

The United States has conducted a national census every ten years since 1790, and in the latest 1940 count, the population of the United States was 132 million.

In contrast, the most populous was undoubtedly the coalition government. When the war started in 1937, according to incomplete statistics, the population at that time was around 400 million.

After the national government disappeared, the coalition government began to integrate all resources and introduced a large number of famines and famine populations into the three northeastern provinces at that time. On the one hand, a large number of people who might starve to death were accommodated.

Secondly, after integrating the entire coalition government, the three northeastern provinces took out a large amount of reserved food to help those people who were trapped in famine due to the war. At the same time, the food was distributed and agricultural tax was exempted for several years in exchange for the rest and recuperation of farmers in the entire country.

These policies directly triggered a significant increase in the birth rate, and the population began to enter a period of telling growth. Fortunately, the land in the three northeastern provinces and Mongolia is really fertile, and the agricultural research field of the Imperial Capital Agricultural College and the three northeastern provinces Agricultural College have made considerable progress. Therefore, the grain output is constantly increasing.

But due to the war, the coalition government had no time or energy to count how much the population in China has grown.

The only thing that can be confirmed is that the coalition government is definitely the country with the strongest mobilization ability and the most reserves among the participating countries, and even if it mobilizes a large number of reserves, it will not have much impact on production in all aspects.

In fact, this is one of the biggest reasons why Axis and allies continue to try to win over the coalition government. The combat effectiveness of the National Defense Forces is beyond doubt. Such huge territory and resources and huge population resources are advantages that other countries cannot match.

"Mr. Gerhart, everything is irrelevant to me. As long as it is for Germany!" Franz said: "As long as it is for Germany's needs, even life is spared!"

Gerhat nodded without saying anything, knowing that Franz, who was born in the SS, would not lack at least in terms of loyalty. His only concern was Franz's character. This would cause great harm to delaying negotiations.

"The temperature is almost the same?" Lin Sen asked with a smile in his conference room, while Yang Yuting, who was in charge of negotiating with Franz and the others, nodded with a smile when he heard this.

"Actually, we and Gerhart know each other that we are delaying time. What we have to do now is to fight for Germany to hurt the Soviet Union. The difference between us is that we hope that the Soviet Union will be seriously hurt and not fatal. But Gerhart and Gerhart hope that Germany can completely solve the problem of the Soviet Union."

"Now it's up to who can get what we want..." Lin Sen smiled faintly: "In fact, for us, the right to decide on this matter is not with us."

In fact, the right to decide on this matter is not in the Defense Forces, but in the hands of the Soviets themselves. At the same time, it is also in the hands of the British and Americans.

"Let's take a look for another month. If they haven't destroyed the Soviet Union by then, we have to choose to cooperate with the allies." Lin Sen pondered for a while and said, "The Germans can afford to drag them, but we can't. The Japanese should solve the problem."

Yang Yuting nodded. Now Japan is basically at its end. They originally occupied Southeast Asia, but this side has a huge advantage.

However, due to the huge defeat on China's battlefield, the National Defense Forces then forced its way into Southeast Asia. Later, in order to cooperate with Germany, Japan had to mobilize most of its troops to the Soviet Union.

This also led to an extremely lack of troops in the Japanese occupied land in Southeast Asia. In fact, the top Japanese leaders have now roughly realized that they are in failure.

However, no one in the entire cabinet and base camp dared to talk about this.

"At that time, we have a meeting with the commander-in-chief. Don't hesitate to solve the problem directly when it's time to start." Lin Sen paused and said, "I'm old and I don't know how many days I have left. I hope I can see our Chinese troops set foot on the land of Japan in my lifetime!"

Yang Yuting's eyes turned red, he lowered his head and nodded. Lin Sen is already 72 years old. This old man who has experienced the late Qing Dynasty and has been with the entire Republic of China to the current coalition government. After all, he is old.

Especially in the years since the establishment of the coalition government, in order to integrate the forces of all parties, balance the interests of all parties and ensure the development of the country, the elderly have almost exhausted their efforts.

"I will personally talk to the commander-in-chief about this matter. Mr. Lin, living one more day is a blessing for our coalition government. Never talk about life and death easily..."

"As the saying goes, seventy-four, eighty-six, the King of Hell will not ask himself to leave. Wherever the person is, who can survive?! At that time, you will never be able to leave..."

Lin Sen smiled openly and said, "It was really at that time that we were all in control. Cao Mengde once said in "Short Songs": It is like the morning dew, and the days are suffering. This is a great kindness..."

Yang Yuting stopped talking. He nodded and turned around and left Lin Sen's conference room. If the only one in the coalition government that convinced everyone might be this Chairman Lin Sen.

Almost all the faction, or people from different backgrounds, maintain sincere respect for the Chairman.

"Yes... the old man has not much time..." When Yang Yuting conveyed this to the tiger slaughter, the tiger's eyes were also a little red.

Lin Sen, Sa Zhenbing, Jia Xiaohou... until Yang Yuting and others, isn't this the case? The heroes are getting older. If they don't hurry up, maybe they really won't see a day of victory in China.

But Tu Menghu did not directly answer Yang Yuting, but instructed Su Zongzhe to start a comprehensive deduction of the battlefield situation in regions including the Soviet Union, Southeast Asia and other regions.

At the same time, he calculated the worst possible situation, and after evaluating all the losses, he handed a report to Lin Sen, chairman of the coalition government.

"One month, only another month! We will launch all the soldiers to fight!" Tu Menghu saluted the old man and said, "I promise, you will definitely see our army stepping into Tokyo Bay!"

At this time, Eisenhower in Moscow was having a headache when he looked at the lazy and sloppy US troops. He hadn't experienced war for too long, and the current US military was completely unable to compare with the US military that had experienced World War I back then.

Some old troops formed from the Washington period were better. The newly formed troops were almost in an orchestra composed of cowboys.

Apart from playing in the territory of the Red Empire, they had no sense of urgency in training. Those officers who lacked war experience did not know how to train and fight.

"If I continue like this, all I can meet is our troops defeated on the battlefield." Eisenhower said to his old classmate Patton without any concealment: "If it were just based on his current state, I would not see the hope of our war victory..."

Patton's face was also ugly. How could he not know the current status of the US military? But many commanders are older than their qualifications and qualifications. Many times, Eisenhower, the theater commander, could not order these veterans at all.

Even if they agreed on the spot, they still do their own things behind their backs. Such officers are not one or two, but are large-scale.

"Or, Ike, let's ask General Marshall to replace these people!" Patton's temper could not tolerate these smoky things, so he directly suggested to his old classmate.

"No...My old classmate, General Marshall has withstood great pressure in order to appoint me as the commander of the war zone. Even now, many people still have doubts about me..."

When Patton heard this, he couldn't help but sigh. In fact, even he was not the case. In the Pearl Harbor incident, Marshall removed a large number of serious generals from the US military.

This greatly improved the execution, combat capability and training volume of the US military, but also caused Marshall to offend a large number of veterans. Even now, the criticism of Marshall in the US military has never stopped.

As generals valued by Marshall and promoted, they naturally became thorns in the eyes of those veterans of the US military. Therefore, the orders of Patton and Eisenhower are difficult to be completely implemented in the US military...

"The Germans are about to come. Are we just watching them take the soldiers into hell?!" Patton became extremely irritable. He was not a good-tempered person.

This matter is facing the dilemma of choosing the best, and his temper becomes even more irritable.

"I remember the tiger once told me that war is the best teacher. He would tell those self-righteous and arrogant people in the most intense and direct way. What would happen if they didn't follow his rules."

Eisenhower smiled faintly and said, "They may not be willing to perform the training we asked for, but if they ruin our soldiers on the battlefield, I will shoot them to warn you!"

When Eisenhower said this, Patton felt a sudden chill! He probably guessed Eisenhower's idea, and he would choose a suitable time to let the most thorny general go to the battlefield to fight against the Germans.

Since you think the training we are asking for is incorrect, then you will win a game in your way to show us. If not, then anyone can foresee what will be waiting for these people.

"Ike. Are you sure you want to do this?! You should know that if you do this, we will suffer unpredictable losses. Especially those stupid old stubborn people, they will send those American soldiers to hell..."

Patton was silent for a while and said, "And the most serious thing is that if we do this, we ourselves are likely to face severe punishment from the military court..."

"I would rather accept severe punishment from the military courts. I must drive these bastards who will bring the whole of America into hell out of the army." Eisenhower said with a sneer on his face, "I have always recorded their execution of the orders. At that time, I will let you clean up the German troops that they cannot defeat."

"I will tell everyone with facts that it is not that we are doing something wrong. It is that they are not suitable to stay in the army at all!" Eisenhower took a deep breath and said, "Since they don't want to believe it, let the facts tell them what the current war is like!"

Patton wanted to say something. But looking at Eisenhower's face, he could only sigh helplessly. He knew that his old classmate would not have any effect if he decided on something, no matter who persuaded him.

All he can do now is praying that those self-righteous idiots don't lose too much...

"Chirp...boom!boom!boom..." Smolensk Oblast, the German armored cluster is attacking here. Smolensk is the only way to Moscow.

If the German army wanted to complete the Battle of Moscow according to their plans, they would have to occupy Smolensk. Obviously, the Soviets also knew this, and Tukhachevsky concentrated most of the troops to use it.

In Smolensk, a large number of permanent fortifications built by Tukhachevsky was supplemented by large-caliber flat-fire guns that had arrived in the Soviet Union were used to deal with German tanks.

Due to the dispersed firepower, the German army had to stop and repair the enemy during the attack. The road had been destroyed by the Soviet army, and many German troops would be ambushed by landmines or guerrillas after all.

Tukhachevsky used his troops to the extreme, and tried to delay the German offensive time.

"How is Moscow prepared?!" Tukhachevsky put down his telescope and asked the adjutant beside him. The adjutant solemnly opened his folder and took out the information to answer.

"Chairman Trotsky has been personally supervising the construction of fortifications, and most members of the Supreme Soviet Committee have evacuated. The US and British troops have entered the designated area and they will assist us in defending Moscow together..."

"Chairman Trotsky asked us to withstand the German army for half a month so that the final fortifications could be built. Otherwise, it would be difficult to continue the battle of Moscow's defense against German bombardment and artillery attacks..."

Tukhachevsky put down his telescope and said nothing. No one knew the situation on the battlefield now better than him. The German attack almost tore the Soviet positions apart at the speed of the wind.

If Tukhachevsky had not had a sudden inspiration and adopted a large number of harassing tactics, perhaps the German army had already attacked the city of Moscow.

Even though the German army was dragged here, Tukhachevsky knew in his heart that this was just a temporary momentum. In the end, the German army could still break through the Soviet position and attack in Moscow.

"How is our loss?!" After a while of silence, Tukhachevsky asked his adjutant without looking back.

"The loss is huge... the German bombers, heavy artillery, and tank armor clusters have a great harm to our troops. If it weren't for the flat-fired cannons that were transported recently, I think we can no longer support the front..."

The answer to Tukhachevsky was not his adjutant, but his chief of staff. The chief of staff walked into the observation room and smiled bitterly at Tukhachevsky.

"I was a little surprised by the Kremlin's order. Didn't he see the German offensive?! If we hold on on the battlefield, all we get is failure. The defeat of the entire army, or the annihilation of the entire army..."

Tukhachevsky did not reply, and he stubbornly raised his telescope to continue observing the situation on the battlefield.

The Soviet army's positions had already launched an extremely fierce hand-to-hand combat. The engineer shovels supported by the Americans played a huge role in hand-to-hand combat, and the German bayonets were not as good as those of the engineer shovels.

A large number of German troops stared at incredible eyes and were chopped to the ground by Soviet engineers. But the Soviet army was not much better. After discovering that the heavy firepower of the German army could not gain any advantage in hand-to-hand combat, they immediately fired a comprehensive strafing at the Soviet army after their own personnel were withdrawn.

"TuTuTuTuTu..." The roar of heavy machine guns resounded throughout the position. A large number of Soviet soldiers didn't even have time to scream and were torn into corpses all over the ground by the large-caliber machine gun.
To be continued...
