Chapter 136 1944: Fast and Lightning (7)

Second, time compression

Not to mention the slow speed of the war, the war has been started for 6 weeks, and the Russians have not finished it, nor do they say that the Blitz 1.0 era will first bomb the plane for several hours or even days, and then carry out artillery preparations of up to 50-120 minutes. In Blitz 2.0, time is everything. When the bomber group and the fighter group begin to take off, the rocket troops have completed the preparations, and then will splash down at a rapid and powerful speed, and then endless, the rushing land aerial attack group opens the way from the air, the iron flow on the ground surging, and attack quickly, opening the gap with the strongest force and then quickly submerge. Who gives you the time to retreat to the second and third lines of defense?

Third, battlefield control

In the South African battle, neither side had a sea power, but Germany had a huge submarine group. Whoever came and died, so half of the sea power was considered to be the control of the sea power; when the air power was controlled, the German army dominated by a huge air force aircraft group, advantageous fighter jets, and new type of land-based attack group; when the land power was controlled, the German steel torrent was the quality assurance.

But on this basis, Hoffman also proposed the fourth power of electromagnetic power to destroy the US military's ability in information transmission and information acquisition. Although electronic confrontation in this era is primitive, it has begun to be implemented and strengthened step by step. In terms of electromagnetic power control, the radar system has arranged anti-radiation bombs to deal with it, and the most important thing is that the communication jammer has also arrived on the battlefield.

This system, called "super energy blocking", has a total of 3 sets, with a single set of power reaching a terrifying 60 kilowatts, and the antenna tower is as high as 35 meters. The interference bands are all commonly used by the US military. The interference range deployed on the Mozambique border covers most of South Africa. In addition, the German army also asked the F-190 to mount a jam pod and used Sherman tanks to develop a mobile jamming vehicle. Each move and one move is aimed at Bradley's communication capabilities. When his troops were covered by a covered meteor shower, I don't know if he could convey the instructions to the following.

In the evening, all missile launches came, 85% of all missiles splashed down according to the pre-determined indicators, and another 15% of missiles were better than expected.

Hoffman summoned Guderian and Paulus and said to Guderian first: "For well-known reasons, I basically would not choose to start a war in North America. The Americans have proposed peace talks with us for the second time. This South Africa battle is likely to be the last large-scale army group offensive campaign. The Americans have sincerity in peace talks, but they have not fully recognized their situation and always have unrealistic fantasies about the situation. Therefore, this battle must show its might and achieve deterrence.

I know it is difficult to get you to use a lot of new weapons in just three months. New tactics are difficult, but as our army's leading tactical masters and blitz planners, I hope you can use this tactics to a higher level with your own hands. There may be Blitz 3.0 and 4.0 in the future, but we will all grow old. Maybe at that time we will only be a clapping audience rather than a conductor."

Guderian nodded and agreed: "I fully understand the painstaking efforts of the Head of State. I will find ways to practice your epoch-making combat philosophy."

Hoffman turned his head to Paulus again: "This new tactic cannot be kept secret. As long as we want to use it, the enemy will know it. The Americans are likely to learn in the future, so when studying attacks, you should also try to find a way to defend. And your perspective and position should be as low-key as possible, and do not put your position on Germany, but on the position of the American Republic. If the Americans press towards the American Republic in a lightning-rushing manner in the future, how can you prepare for resistance before completing the war mobilization in Germany to prevent this new republic from being swallowed up in one bite.

Given the strength of the American Republic, your strength is about 100,000-150,000 troops in peacetime, and the limit of expansion is 200,000-250,000 in a short period of time. In the Americas, this amount of troops can basically rest assured, but in the face of world wars and pressure from the United States, this amount of troops is not enough, so you have to work hard to find a way."

Paulus's position as the Supreme Military Chief of the American Republic has made it clear internally that he prefers to be the Chief of Staff, and his military rank will be designated as Marshal of the American Republic. This is Hoffman's compensation and workaround for not being promoted to the German marshal. Those who have the rank of marshals in other continents will be half a level lower than the local marshals.

Paulus replied respectfully: "First of the People's Republic of China, don't worry, I will definitely come up with a solution. I have already had some experience in the past two days, but it is not a system."

Hoffman nodded to express his satisfaction. Paulus's diligent attitude was very satisfied, otherwise he would not have pulled him back from the "give up" list and entrusted it to reuse it.

"If you find that there are still problems after the synthesis exercise, it may not be subject to the time limit on November 15. You can delay it again. I can wait, but it is best not to end the battle later than the end of this year, because I still need to deploy troops to Central America. There is no shortage of troops now, the time, materials and transportation capacity, so it must be comprehensively measured. You are all still young and have a chance in the future..."

The two were stunned and then laughed.

Guderian is 56 years old, Paulus is only 54 years old, and Rommel is 53 years old. Even though he has reached the peak of the land commander, Manstein, who is known as the "coach of the coach among the coaches", is only 57 years old. He himself is extremely disgusted with this title and believes that "no matter in the past or in the future, only the head of state can be worthy of the coach among the coaches."

As for other commanders, their future arrangements are basically completed:

Longdestedt retires gloriously;

Second Line of Blomburg, General Consultant of the German Army;

Qusiral retires;

Bok retired, and Türkiye is preparing to hire him as general counsel for the army;

Weix Second Line, General Consultant of the European Army;

Kleister Second Line, the head of the German East Africa military;

Commander-in-chief of Model Eastern European Command, guarding the Western Russian front;

Yodel was promoted to marshal and chief of staff of the Supreme Command;

Hauser was promoted to marshal and retreated to the second line, the SS General Counsel.

Other arrangements after the war were basically in place:

Chief of Staff of the Supreme Command of Europe: Ketter

Commander-in-Chief of the European Army: Manstein

Commander-in-Chief of the European Air Force: Keseling
