At the end of June 1941, early morning.

The military commander's dormitory area suddenly heard the sound of rapid footsteps. Guqi, who was on duty that night, came to the door of a official residence and raised his hand to knock on the door.

Zuo Chong, who was in the bedroom on the second floor, was awakened by the knock on the door and sat up from the bed. He picked up his gun and put on his coat and walked downstairs. After confirming that there was no danger, he opened the door halfway and saw his breathless old partner.

"Lao Gu, what's wrong?"

"Deputy post, the latest news from the Red and Russian intelligence station was just now, the Germans and the Red and Russians started a war!"

Guqi said and handed over a telegram. The expression on his face was very complicated, excited, shocked, and a little gloating.

Zuo Chong quickly checked the telegram. As Guqi said, the Red Russian Station got the news of the war from a mole and risked sending the telegram.

A few hours ago, the German army launched a sneak attack on the Red and Russians with a large number of troops from several armies and hundreds of divisions, and the Universal War finally began.

"Wait, I'll go back to the bureau with you." Zuo Chong turned around and walked upstairs, saying to Guqi.

History has not changed at all here. The Germans still rushed across the western border of Red Russia late in the early summer, caught the Red Russians off guard according to the Barbarosa Plan.

In fact, when he returned from Shanghai, Zuo Chong asked the intelligence personnel stationed in Red Russia and Germany to pay close attention to the situation between the two countries, so he was not surprised at all when he received the news of the war.

When the two returned to No. 29 Luojiawan, the office building was already full of people. The spies who were temporarily recalled used various tools and channels to inquire about the news and try to obtain more information.

For example, how many troops and technical weapons the Germans have invested, the current losses of the Red and Russians, the current progress of the war, etc.

This intelligence determines the next foreign strategy of the government. The telephone number of the attendant's room is online at this moment, ready to listen to the report of the Military Control Commission at any time. Countless people can't sleep all night because of the war thousands of miles away.

However, due to distance and the special circumstances of Red and Russia, the military commander's tentacles did not penetrate deep into the top leaders of Germany and Red and Russian, and it was very difficult to collect intelligence. Wu Chunyang, as the intelligence director, was anxious and sweated heavily and kept roaring at his subordinates.

"I don't want to listen to the explanation, I just want intelligence!"

"There is no news insider, so let's go around from other sites in the United States and Europe. I will see the briefing in an hour."

Zuo Chong passed by the door of a large office and had no intention of going in and saying a few words. He returned to his office and asked He Yijun to use the information he had already found to browse.

It has to be said that the Germans' strategic deception work was very successful. Except for Zuo Chong, no one expected that the German army would attack Red Russia this year.

A few weeks ago, the German army transferred a large number of troops and supplies to Yugoslavia and Greece, and the Berlin media also announced that Germany's next military operation target was the Balkans, which successfully confused intelligence agencies in various countries.

Then, Germany deliberately leaked false information, implying that Germany's real strategic goal was Britain, and many arrangements were made for this.

For example, the German troops stationed in France, Denmark and Norway continued to conduct amphibious landing operations, and many troops received brand new British maps and were equipped with English translators, making it look like they were going to attack Britain in a large scale.

A close comrade-in-arms of a bearded man, the German Air Marshal, sent night bombers to bomb the British mainland, and several new airborne troops were formed.

Rommel's North African regiment was not idle. German soldiers carried out desert training in front of herders more than once, and various engineering equipment was transported from Europe to strengthen the German army's logistics supply capacity.

In the latest information, the agents lurking on the Western Front of Germany discovered that the German Command concentrated the troops at a speed of one division every 4 days 200 kilometers away from the border line, and gave priority to the formation of the third echelon.

Afterwards, the German army assembled the second echelon at a speed of one and a half days, and the first echelon was the finale, which was a standard ladder defense deployment.

Therefore, even with warnings from the northwest of the Republic of China, under the various strategic deceptions of the Germans, the senior leaders of the Red and Russians judged that although there must be a war between Russia and Germany, it was not now.

The window gradually brightened, the red sun rose from the horizon, and Zuo Chong rubbed his temples with fatigue. At this time, the phone ringing on the table rang, and Lao Dai asked him to come to see him immediately.

The teacher was summoned by the teacher, but Zuo Chong did not dare to neglect it. He quickly collected the documents and went to the director's office, while thinking about how to answer the other party's inquiries.

At this time, the government is probably waiting for news. Old Dai is under great pressure. As expected, as soon as he entered the door, Dai Chunfeng couldn't wait to ask: "Be careful, what is the situation of the war between Germany and Russia?"

"There is no new news for the time being, but the situation is not optimistic. The losses of the Red and Russians should be huge." Zuo Chong gave his own judgment.

"Oh?" Dai Chunfeng's eyebrows frowned and raised his hand to signal him to sit down: "What's the reason, the commissioner and all the officials need conclusive evidence, this matter is very important!"

Zuo Chongban sat on the chair and replied respectfully: "The students said this based on the following three points: one is the successful strategic deception of the Germans, the second is the combat effectiveness shown by the German army in the past, and the third is the carelessness of the Red and Russians underestimating the enemy.

But students are still optimistic about the final victory of Red Russia. The unique shadow force system of Red Russia, 1, strict grassroots organizations, highly firm beliefs, and the modern industry built in recent years are all guarantees to defeat Germany.

Although the Red Russia is currently retreating, once Mosk breathes, the Germans will gradually fall into a disadvantage, and the major Western powers will not allow Germany to occupy the Red Russia, which is rich in population, food and mineral resources."

Zuo Chong made some speculations on the German-Russian War based on the existing information and the situation he had in his previous life. Lao Dai nodded while listening.

"Okay, you will immediately bring the text materials you said, and I will take them to the official residence to meet the committee."

After hearing the order, Dai Chunfeng spoke with a hint of enthusiasm. If Zuo Chong's prediction was consistent with the actual situation, the Military Control Commission and him would have made great contributions.

As for whether the prediction is accurate, Lao Dai has never doubted it. He firmly believes in Zuo Chong's ability. This is a long-standing trust. Since the other party dares to say it, he will definitely be sure.

In the next few days, news from the front line confirmed some of Zuo Chong's speculations that the poor performance of the Red Russians on the battlefield shocked everyone.

The Red Russian army was seriously inadequate when the German army launched an attack, and many troops were in a state of chaos, and the command system failed to respond effectively, resulting in huge losses.

In Belarus and Ukraine, the Red Russian troops were suppressed by the rapid advancement and encirclement tactics of German armored troops, and thousands of soldiers were captured and large amounts of equipment were destroyed or seized.

On the day of the war alone, Red and Russian lost more than 1,200 aircraft and more than 500 tanks. Several armies were wiped out, killing and injured more than 100,000 people.

What is surprising is that more than 800 of the aircraft were bombed at the airport before they took off, and more than 400 aircraft that took off forcibly failed to cause substantial damage to the Luftwaffe.

In addition to aircraft and tanks, the Red and Russians also lost various types of artillery and other heavy equipment. The specific numbers are difficult to count. No logistics officer dared to count the damage on the battlefield of millions of people, which was seeking death.

Six days later, Minsk, the capital of Belarus, fell, and the commander of the Red and Russian Western Front was ordered to be executed due to ineffective combat.

Germany's tacit battle against Red Russia shocked the world, and even his ally Japan was shocked. After the shock, facing the weak Red Russia, the ambition of the Japanese being defeated by the Red Russian army in the Battle of Nomenkan was rekindled.

In 1941, Japan was in a dilemma. The battle between the South and the Fruit Army was in a quagmire. The underground parties in North China broke into attacks everywhere. The Japanese army lacked logistics supplies and the senior army was shaken.

In this case, seeing Germany defeating the elite Red, Russian and Europeans like cutting melons and vegetables, how can the Tokyo Base Camp not be excited?

The Japanese cabinet immediately convened a meeting of imperial fronts to discuss the next action of the Japanese army and determined whether to support its ally Germany. As a result, the Japanese cabinet turned its fingers again and prepared to go to war with Red and Russia again.

The Kwantung Army was ready to take advantage of the east wind of the Russian-German war to completely resolve the threats of the Red and Russians to the puppet Manchukuo and Goryeo, and to avenge Nomenkan's revenge.

Tokyo, Prime Minister Omotomi's residence.

Zorge and Lin Fuichiro said goodbye in front of the door. One of them was Fumiya Konoe's close staff and friends, and the other was an important political allies of Konoe. This visit was invited by Konoe to attend the Japanese war preparation meeting against Red Russia.

After the two of them left, Mosk and Yamachi received a top-secret information almost at the same time, which was about the "Basic Outline of the Empire's National Policy under Changes in Current Situation" just passed by the Japanese cabinet, and even the corresponding military deployment.

The Kwantung Army will organize pre-war mobilization under the name of "exercise". The mobilization is divided into three preparation stages, with an estimated mobilization of 700,000 people, with the intention of completely eliminating the Red Russian military forces in the Far East within 6 months and occupying the outer Northeast.

Hasegur Hasegur in Shanghai and Fu Ling from Tokyo also sent back information one after another. The Japanese troops stationed in the Guanzhong and local areas have had abnormal movements recently.

Not only that, the double-sided spy Xiao Qingmin found through the senior Japanese army in Hacheng and the Koryo Restoration Organization that the Kwantung Army ammunition depot located in Goryo had accumulated a large number of bullets and artillery shells, and the number was far beyond the daily combat readiness.

As time entered July, martial law was suddenly imposed throughout the puppet Manchukuo area, five garrison corps received tasks to strengthen public security, and hundreds of thousands of farmers were forced to be conscripted and labored.

Originally, these things were good news for the government. The Japanese army's use of force against Red and Russians would inevitably reduce its investment in the battlefield of the Republic of China, but under the chain reaction, many things changed.

No one expected that the first impact of the war between Germany and Russia was the international pharmaceutical industry. Penicillin, a new anti-inflammatory drug, was priceless in the market, but merchants from all over the world waving money but gained nothing.

This led to a consequence. The affordable drugs sold by the Zuo family to the Guofu were repeatedly "robbed" and the warehouse was "burned" many times, causing complaints from the frontline.

What's more serious is that reliable information shows that the Japanese and Germans have set their sights on Australian penicillin factories and want to steal formulas, strains and production processes.

Data shows that the emergence of penicillin has caused the mortality rate of wound infection on European battlefields to 3% from 20% before the war, and the mortality rate of sepsis has been reduced from 50% to 10%, with an extremely significant effect.

For Japan and Germany, where human resources are valuable, penicillin can allow more veterans to return to the battlefield and enhance the combat effectiveness and morale of the army. It is an extremely important strategic material.

Blocking people's money is like killing their parents. Zuo Zhong, who received the news, was anxious and immediately applied to take people to Australia to prevent the two countries from attacking the pharmaceutical factory.

In order to keep it confidential, the operators will transfer to New Zealand and use fake identities and smuggling methods to sneak into Australia in batches to minimize the risk of exposure.

Moreover, since I left in Shanghai, Zuo Chong has not seen his family except Zuo Jun for many years. This trip happened to take care of both public and private affairs.
