Chapter 1097: offensive plan
Throughout Germany, there is a tense atmosphere at wartime. Although Germany has not yet chosen Bu Russia, almost all Germans believe that war is unavoidable. They are not dissatisfied with this war. Since this period of time, under the instruction of Kaiser Qin Tian, the major media in Germany have begun to report on the brazen invasion of the Kingdom of Ukraine by Russia.
Since Germany became the hegemon of the world, while the living standards of the German people have continued to improve, national self-esteem and self-confidence have also continued to rise. Germany has become a hegemon, so naturally it cannot tolerate provocations from other countries. Many Germans believe that Bu Russia's attack on the Kingdom of Ukraine is a provocation to the German Empire. The German Empire should declare war on them, defeat them, and let them know that the majesty of the German Empire will never tolerate provocation.
Although, some people worry that Bu Russia is not a small country. Even if Germany is very powerful, it may be very difficult to defeat Bu Russia. Even if you win in the end, you will definitely pay a big price. Is it worth paying so much for a protectorate?
It's just that this is just the thoughts of a small number of people. Most people undoubtedly support the empire. In particular, although the emperor Qin Tian has not made a public statement yet, other members of the royal family have frequently revealed that the empire will not hesitate to fight in order to maintain its dignity. This has made the people of the empire inclined to support the empire in launching a war.
The German royal family still has a great influence in the hearts of the people. Especially Qin Tian, the emperor of the empire, was faintly deified. No one in the entire empire would oppose Qin Tian's will, and no one would dare to oppose it.
On September 13th, Qin Tian brought the cabinet ministers to the General Staff Headquarters to listen to the battle plan against Bu Russia formulated by the General Staff Headquarters. Although, this battle plan has already been drawn up almost, but it has been revised recently. After all, the military strength and deployment of Russia have been changing all the time. Germany also needs to make targeted adjustments.
"Marshal Manstein, let's start!" Qin Tian said.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Marshal Manstein nodded.
"Currently, the first batch of mobilized troops of the Imperial Army has been mobilized, and we have once again formed 12 group armies. Now, the Imperial Army has 24 group armies. Deducting the 4 group armies deployed in the Far East and Australia, we There are a total of 20 group armies in Europe. Two group armies are stationed in the British Isles and northern France respectively. In this battle against Bu Russia, we will dispatch 18 group armies, and strive to hit hard in the first round of large-scale attacks. Boo!" Marshal Manstein said.
"Eighteen army groups have been invested, so how to defend the country?" Prime Minister Wasit asked.
"Your Excellency, the domestic defense can be handed over to the police. Now that the empire is powerful, no country dares to attack the empire at this juncture. As for the United States on the other side of the ocean, it is impossible to attack the empire before they defeat the imperial navy. The mainland. In addition to the British Isles as a barrier, although we only deployed one army group on the British Isles. However, the combined army of our slave countries exceeds two million. The Americans want to take the British Isles It is impossible for the three islands, let alone attacking the mainland. In addition, our second batch of mobilization has already begun. Soon, we will have sufficient troops!" Marshal Manstein explained.
"The Imperial Navy will firmly hold the Atlantic Ocean, and the Americans will never set foot on Europe!" Marshal Raeder said confidently.
"Prime Minister, don't worry, the 18 armies dispatched this time are only for the purpose of injuring Russia in the early stages of the war. After the battle at this stage is explained, some troops will be transferred back to the country. At that time, a large number of protectorate troops will be dispatched to From the front line!" Qin Tian said.
Washite nodded, and then said no more.
"The 18 armies of the Empire attacking Bu Russia are the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 7th, 8th, 9th, 10th, 13th, 14th, 15th, 16th, and 17th , 18th, 19th, 20th, 21st, and 22nd armies. The 5th army is stationed in the British Isles, the 6th army is stationed in northern France. The 11th and 23rd armies are stationed in the Far East, and the 12th and 24th armies are stationed in Australia !” Marshal Manstein said.
"The army attacking Bu Russia this time will be divided into four groups. The 1st, 4th and 10th armies will form the A group army group, and the commander of the 1st group army, Admiral Werner von Bromberg, will also serve as the group Commander. The 3rd, 8th, 13th, 14th, and 15th armies form the B army group, and General Guderian, the commander of the 8th army, also serves as the commander of the army group! The 7th, 9th, 16th, The 17th and 18th armies form the C army group, and the commander of the 9th army, Admiral Rommel, also serves as the commander of the army group. The 1st, 19th and 20th armies form the D army group, led by Walter, the commander of the 10th army Admiral von Brausch also serves as the commander of the army group." Marshal Manstein announced.
"Yes, Marshal!" Several generals who also served as commanders of the group army stood up one after another. A smile could clearly be seen in their eyes. In addition to Guderian and Rommel, who are valued by Kaiser Qin Tian, General Bromberg and General Brausch are also very capable people.
The others looked at them with a hint of envy. Obviously, they also know that serving as the commander of the group army group means that they are one step closer to the marshal's scepter.
"The Finnish army, the armies of the three Baltic countries, will assist Army Group A in combat. The armies of the Kingdom of Poland and the Kingdom of Belarus will assist Army Group B in combat. The army of the Kingdom of Ukraine, after solving the Russian army that invaded the Kingdom of Ukraine, will separately Assist Army Group C and Army Group D in combat!" Manstein continued.
In the first phase of the battle against Bu Russia, these protectorates that are very close to Bu Russia will send troops to cooperate with the German army to fight. Of course, they mainly undertake some auxiliary tasks, and the main force is still the German army.
