Chapter 963: Advising Berlin
Chapter 963: Advising Berlin
Asaka Hiderei blinked.
What could she say? Berlin's powerful military force was their capital for pride. Whether it was military quality or industrial technology, they were currently the most advanced. Their assembly lines and automation were completely unmatched by other countries.
Blitzkrieg is indeed their pride and joy. Of course, this group of people are probably not bad at positional warfare either.
"I'm not saying we can't use blitzkrieg, but I personally suggest that some changes may need to be made."
change?
Guderian looked at Chaoxiang Xiuling and asked, "What do you think needs to be changed?"
"Let's eat first. This is probably not a problem that can be explained in just a few words. We still have time to talk about it after dinner." Zhou Weiguo knew that this problem could not be fully explained in a short time, and it might not be explained clearly here.
Guderian was somewhat disappointed. Zhou Weiguo sighed, "I don't have any professional military maps here. If we want to discuss this issue, we should at least have professional maps so that we can better understand the situation."
It was I who hadn't thought it through. Guderian turned around and said hello, and the adjutant went over to make a phone call and asked them to get ready.
After dinner, Zhou Weiguo changed into his National Defense Force uniform and got into the car with Chao Xiang Xiuling and Ruth, who were also wearing National Defense Force uniforms. The car stopped. After getting out, Zhou Weiguo looked at the National Defense Building in front of him, hummed, and turned to ask, "Are we in the wrong place? It's such a core place, and you asked me to come here. I'm afraid it's overstepping my authority."
"The Führer agreed. Otherwise, I wouldn't have dared to let you come. Of course, we are friends. I believe you won't tell anyone about what's happening here, right?"
Zhou Weiguo took out a cigarette, lit it, and looked at the brightly lit and bustling place; "At least not for now."
"That's even more satisfying. If you said no, I'd be worried about you." Guderian pointed to the office building. "Let's go to the Third General Staff Headquarters. It's specifically set up to deal with the situation in the Americas. All intelligence and staff information will be sent from there."
Zhou Weiguo was very impressed by the clear division of national defense here. Each region was responsible for its own region. If there was anything unsure, several regional leaders would hold a meeting to discuss the issue at the same time. After making appropriate suggestions, they would submit them to the General Staff Headquarters. After approval, they would be sent to the Minister of Defense for study and decision.
The director of the third department has arrived, and the deputy chief of staff has also arrived. The chief of staff is inspecting the front line and is not in Berlin. As soon as Zhou Weiguo entered, he saw a one-eyed man inside. This one-eyed man is a very powerful character.
"Let me introduce you." Guderian began to introduce the people present, and Zhou Weiguo greeted everyone with a smile.
However, Asaka Hiderei was observing the deployment here and making a sound of admiration. This was the top existence.
Not only are the military maps hung neatly, but there are also three sand tables placed throughout the room: the Canadian sand table, the Watsonton sand table, and a sand table that combines the two.
"Then let's get started." Guderian was a workaholic, and so was everyone present.
Zhou Weiguo saw an ashtray, picked one up, lit a cigarette, and said to Chao Xiang Xiuling, "Just say whatever you think. We are all friends here, there's no need to hide."
We have to rely on Berlin to deal with Watsonton. Hiding will affect their thinking. We will not do such a thing.
Asaka Hiderei examined the massive sand table and pulled the command stick from the table. "To launch a blitzkrieg against Watsontown, we must first ensure their fighters and bombers cannot take off. In other words, we must immediately seize control of the air. I won't elaborate on this point. I'll just point out that Watsontown isn't Paris, nor is it the Foggy City. Their air defenses are formidable. Because of your presence, they've even strengthened their air defenses and airport construction. They'll immediately detect the slightest movement and mobilize a massive force to intercept."
"In that case, I'm afraid it's not appropriate for us to launch a blitzkrieg here."
"It's not inappropriate, but it needs some slight adjustments," Asaka Hiderei said, taking the command stick in her hand. "Given the current situation, we can't take action against them yet. However, we can use this time to do some auxiliary work. For example, we can mobilize personnel to infiltrate the vicinity of these airports and make secret preparations. Once the operation is ready, they can immediately attack the airports. At the same time, we can secretly mobilize large radio stations to jam their stations, preventing them from receiving the news immediately. As long as they can't receive the news for an hour, we've won. As for the subsequent interception work, it depends on the outstanding performance of the Air Force. After all, if their frontline weapons and equipment are destroyed, it's unlikely that they will be able to immediately mobilize other military forces from the rear."
At this point, Asaka Hiderei extended her hand. "A blitzkrieg doesn't necessarily require a large force advancing rapidly. Small-scale infiltration is equally important. After the airport attack, those near these airports don't need to wait for the main force. Instead, they can quickly move south and harass their cities, plunging them into chaos. If we can ensure a quick passage, there's no need to blow up the bridges. If not, we'd rather blow them up than leave them to them."
Zhou Weiguo waited for Chao Xiang Xiuling to finish speaking, cigarette in hand, then gestured for her to hand him the command staff. "The battle against Watsonton won't be a simple frontal engagement. It's more of a coordinated operation between special agents, small Wehrmacht detachments, and the main Wehrmacht forces. Special agents will infiltrate their important military factories and enterprises. Once the battle begins, we'll quickly paralyze them and, if possible, destroy their northern supply warehouses, preventing them from quickly withdrawing troops. If possible, the Air Force will quickly seize the frontier airports, or deploy airborne forces. Once they're withdrawn, we'll intercept and bomb them. This will quickly bring the situation under control."
"I'm suddenly enlightened." Guderian laughed heartily and then looked at the one-eyed man standing next to him and said, "Well, you guys should be able to write a battle plan soon."
"Hearing about him from afar is not as good as seeing him in person. I've heard you say how amazing Zhou is, and seeing him today is truly extraordinary. I've learned a lot from him."
After a giggle, Chaoxiang Xiuling also had a better impression of this one-eyed man. As long as someone praised her as the boss, he would think that he was a good person. She even didn't mind giving him some advice.
"In fact, there are some plans that we can do now, and this is the most appropriate opportunity."
"Oh," Guderian asked, becoming interested. "What do you mean?"
