Germany Toxson, General Staff.

When the new commander of the High Seas Fleet, Lieutenant General William Maschar, arrived with Marshal Redell, the acting chief of staff Marshal Hessman, was signing a large stack of promotion reports. This was the last official business he needed to take as the commander-in-chief of the Eastern Front before the revocation of the Eastern Front headquarters.

The 12-day Polish battle can be regarded as a festival for German Army and Air Force officers. After a complete victory, of course, we must reward Schletcher and Hessmann for their merits and achievements.

The first ones to be promoted were Hessman himself and Chief of Staff Hamestein, both of whom were promoted from general to marshal.

Then there are the commanders of each army group, commanders of each army group, commanders of each army, commanders of each division, and lower-level army chiefs who participate in the battle and have made certain military achievements are generally promoted to the next level.

Again, he was a lieutenant and deputy position, and was promoted according to the recommendation of the chief officer.

Then the officers and soldiers fighting on the front line got more opportunities for promotion and medals. After a big battle, tens of thousands of people were promoted, and countless medals were issued.

At the same time, Air Force Commander-in-Chief Keselin, the air force commanders, aviation division and other departments participating in the operation, as well as pilots participating in the battle, were also promoted and medaled to varying degrees!

For all promotions at the school level and above (including majors), Hessman has to make instructions not to order one by one, but to sign reports from various armies.

In addition to these promotion reports, there are also many battlefield log summary and combat reports of the army, army and division, sent to the General Staff. Senior generals of Hessman level cannot go to the front line to understand the situation, and even if they go, they cannot stay on the front line for too long. Therefore, they can only learn about the situation on the battlefield through detailed reports and discover the shortcomings of the troops.

So these days, Hessman spent every day in Tsoson's headquarters, burying himself in a lot of documents.

"Marson," Colonel Hans Spidal (who was also promoted) reported outside the door, "Marson Redell and Lieutenant General Mashar have arrived."

The commander-in-chief of the Navy and the commander of the High Seas Fleet were not under the jurisdiction of the General Secretary, but now Germany does not have an independent Navy. The military and political affairs of the navy and army and air force are under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of National Defense. Marshal Redel and Lieutenant General Maschel came to Thosen on the orders of Minister of Defense Marshal Schletcher.

"Okay, please come in." Hessman put down the report, stood up to the door of his spacious office to welcome the visiting Marshal and Lieutenant General.

"Marty Reidel, Lieutenant General Mashar," Hessman invited the two into the office and asked them to sit on a sofa, and said straight to the point, "I invite you to come here to break the special mission of the fleet."

“Special mission?”

Hessman nodded, "Sinking a few or a dozen British transport ships is not enough to give Germany a strategic advantage, but the activities of German battleships and aircraft carriers in the Atlantic Ocean can make people see that Germany may win the world war very much. This is very beneficial to us!"

Battleships and aircraft carriers are "strategic" weapons, and are completely different from submarines. The activity of submarines in the Atlantic Ocean only shows that the German Navy has the ability to attack and destroy.

A battleship and an aircraft carrier were wandering on the Atlantic Ocean, and the British had no choice but to do anything about them, which meant that Germany was competing with Britain for the sea control of the Atlantic Ocean!

As a maritime state and colonial empire, the loss of sea control means the collapse of the country.

If the British had been helpless in the German fleet on the Atlantic Ocean, then Britain's allies and supporters around the world should carefully consider their future.

Moreover, the credibility of the pound as a world currency will also be greatly affected. Now the pound is still a world currency, which means that the British can buy what they want with brushed paper.

Of course, the pound is obviously not as strong as the US dollar now.

"On this voyage, you need to stop in Iceland, Venezuela, Brazil, Uruguay and Argentina to add fuel and supply."

"This is a very politically valuable event, more valuable than sinking a 100,000-ton transport ship," Hessman said.

Iceland will not be mentioned, it is a vassal state of Denmark. If it can lead to the British occupation of Iceland, then Britain will be a bad guy who destroys neutrality and bullies small European countries! This will help Germany peacefully enter European countries such as Denmark, the Netherlands, and Norway.

Venezuela, Brazil, Ukraine and Argentina have many German friends who are either dictators or alternate dictators. They all call themselves "nationalists", and some of them simply established the National Socialist Party and joined the National Socialist International.

There is no doubt that it is considered a "German fans". If powerful German battleships and aircraft carriers can break through the layers of blockades of the British Navy and go to those countries for a walk, they can greatly encourage the morale of the "German fans".

"Of course, all special missions must be implemented while ensuring the safety of battleships and aircraft carriers." Hessman ordered at last.

The German navy's capital is still too small. The main battleships that can be taken to the Atlantic Ocean to show off are two battleships and two aircraft carriers. They cannot withstand losses. Even if they suffer heavy damage, it will have a very adverse impact on subsequent operations. It will also hit the confidence of "German fans" around the world in Germany.

Confidence is a very important spiritual force. When the "God fans" are full of confidence, the "British fans" and "French fans" will be depressed and even change their beliefs.

The same principle applies to the Soviet Union, of course!

Germany defeated Poland in 12 days, and how much time did the Soviet Union take to knock down seriously injured Poland?

12 days is definitely not enough!

Because today is October 1, 1939. 16 days have passed since the Soviet Red Army fired the first shot to liberate Ukraine and Western Belarus on the right bank!

While White Poland has not yet fallen, the resistance of the bourgeoisie and landlord Ukraine is still continuing. Moreover, their reactionary determination is still extremely firm!

"Comrade Commander, reconnaissance shows that the Poles gathered heavy troops around the Brest Fortress!"

Brest Rapid Cluster Chief of Staff Klimovsky walked into Pavlov's headquarters in Zabinka with a tired look on his face. This is an ancient church and the only intact large building in the small town of Zabinka!

The Poles committed serious crimes in Western Belarus, burning and destroying everywhere, and in many towns, only Catholic churches were intact.

In addition to the destruction of towns and villages, the railways, highways and bridges that have come from Minsk have also been severely damaged. This has affected the advancement of the Brest rapid cluster. The journey planned to be completed on the 10th took 15 days. Last night, the rapid cluster headquarters arrived in Zabinka. Some infantry and heavy artillery landed behind and it will take a few days to reach them all.

"Tell me about the situation that the Air Force has detected." Pavlov didn't raise his head. He was writing a review to the Front Commander and Moscow.

Because the task of capturing Brest on October 15 was not completed. Because the Poles did not give up on Brest, they gathered heavy troops there. Pavlov's vanguard had already encountered them, it was a cavalry against cavalry! The Polish cavalry was very hard and did not lose morale because of the defeat on the Western Front. The cavalry of the Soviet Red Army suffered a great loss in the vanguard battle because of continuous marching and lack of horses. Hundreds of soldiers died heroically!

"Comrade Commander," said Klimovsky, "The Polish White Army was east of the Bug River, spreading on both sides of the Muhaviz River, and lined up the river. The width of the front line exceeded 17 axioms and the length exceeded 40 kilometers. It seemed that the Poles had at least five divisions in Brest..."

"5 divisions? It's almost the same as double it!" said Pavlov. "The Poles gave up the entire Western Belarus and only deployed defenders in Brest, obviously trying to defend the last bridgehead east of the Bug River."

"How can we defend it?" Klimovsky said with a smile. "As long as our army crosses the Bug River and attacks Warsaw, Brest is the Polish White Army, and will definitely return to the capital, and the fortress will be ours."

Although this division commander-level chief of staff is not very high and has little qualifications, he is not confused. If Pavlov really does do it, he will be able to take Brest in a few days.

Because once he marched into Warsaw, the German army could only occupy Polish territory west of the Bouge River according to the just signed "Pord Armistice Treaty".

But Pavlov dared not do this! Because Stalin dared not offend Germany at this time, the quiet battle on the Western Front battlefield continued. The battlefield was quiet and there was no intention of fighting. The politicians from various countries were extremely active and busy making peace between the two sides. The Italian leader Mussolini, who sent troops to Abyssia and Spain to kill and set fire, seemed to have become a fat dove of peace, flying around between Berlin, London and Paris. Who knows when the mediation was successful?

"It is not allowed to cross the Bug River," Pavlov shook his head, "This is Comrade Stalin's instructions. Let's prepare to attack Brest!"

"If you want to attack, you must have at least two times the enemy's force and three times the enemy's firepower." Klimovsky said in a thought, "It is not enough to rely on a fast cluster of 200,000 people. At least Comrade Zhukov's Pinsker cluster must meet us."

Klimovsky is a top student at the Fulongzhi Military Academy. The way to fight is to increase artillery in the sea of ​​people and crush the opponent with overwhelming firepower and troops! However, it takes a long time to mobilize so many troops, and more strength is needed to ensure the transportation of logistics supplies.
