Chapter 1202 Baghdad Conference(2/2)

Vasilevsky continued:

"Our investigation revealed that the Third Reich has 95 divisions west of the Dnieper River, with a total strength of more than 1.8 million, 17,000 artillery and mortars, 2,200 tanks and various self-propelled artillery, and more than 1,500 combat aircraft!"

"In order to achieve the predetermined combat objectives, our country's Supreme Command will send 1.8 million troops, including 600,000 troops from the Central Xia and Western Expeditions!"

"In addition to the southern front, we will also send troops from Leningrad at the same time to strive for the early liberation of the Baltic Sea coast!"

Representatives from various countries continued to discuss quietly and seemed not to be satisfied with Vasilevsky's commitment.

Vasilevsky didn’t like to talk in roundabout ways, so he knocked on the table a few times and said:

"As of September this year, the total number of troops in the Third Reich was 10.2 million. Among them, the army had the largest total number, more than 7.2 million!"

"The total combat force of the three armed forces is 6.8 million, and the reserve force is more than 3 million!"

"Everyone, 2/3 of these 6.8 million combat troops are on the Eastern Front battlefield!"

"I hope you will consider the tremendous pressure Sue is under!"

The discussion in the conference room continued, and after about five or six minutes, Marshall asked:

"Your Majesty Marshal, what do you want your allies to do?"

Vasilevsky glanced at the silent Joseph beside him and said in a deep voice:

"The Red Army hopes to receive support from its allies, and also hopes that the Allies can open a second battlefield in Western Europe as soon as possible!"

This is what Lao Maozi wants.

It is confirmed that we will land in Western Europe, but there is a big difference between one month earlier and one month later.

General Smith, Chief of Staff of the Allied Forces on the Western Front, first described the difficulties of opening a second battlefield and the longer time needed to prepare.

In short, just delay it as long as you can, so that both Lao Maozi and the Third Reich will suffer losses.

General Alexander also said that the island of Great Britain was severely damaged when the German troops landed and it will take some time to recover. It will be difficult to open a second battlefield within two or three months.

Marshall said that the national and military power of the United States were tilting toward the Eastern battlefield, and Japan needed to be dealt with first before it could devote itself to dealing with the Third Reich.

After finishing speaking, he glanced around the Central Xia delegation with a meaningful look.

Everyone's eyes converged in the direction of Zhong Xia, and then all stopped on Jiang Dong's face.

Jiang Dong winked at Lu Zhuoran, who stood up and promised.

Even without the help of the Allies, Zhongxia is sure to end the Japanese war in the first half of next year.

The implication is that the Allies can draw their power to the Western Front.

In addition, Lu Zhuoran also said that if everything goes well, the battle on the Japanese island will end in March next year.

There were some contradictions in Lu Zhuoran's speech. Joseph, Marshall, Attlee and others guessed from these sentences that

On the eastern battlefield, Zhongxia has never tried its best.

They have the power to solve Japan neatly, but they keep delaying it, as if they have other intentions.

The second day's meeting ended quickly, and no consensus was reached for the time being.

Jiang Dong did not attend the meetings for the next three days, but was completely left to Lu Zhuoran and Wei Junru.

Joseph also did not attend, seemingly unwilling to participate in the war of words.

Jiang Dong took his young and beautiful secretary Jillian around Baghdad to appreciate the local scenery and behaved very leisurely.

This scene was very unpleasant in the eyes of Joseph, Attlee and Marshall.

The meeting lasted for five days, and everyone was present on the last day.

Because the war of words is over, the four countries have reached an agreement.

After the Baghdad Conference, the Allies reached the following agreement:

First, Mao Xiong tried his best to severely inflict heavy damage on the 1.8 million-strong Third Reich army facing him before the beginning of spring. Zhongxia and other friends should provide support with industry and military equipment.

Second, Zhongxia promised to all Allied Powers to end the Eastern War in the first half of next year.

Prior to this, the First and Second Expeditionary Fleets of Zhongxia were handed over to the command of the Supreme Allied Command on the Western Front, and full cooperation was given to open up the second battlefield.

Countries also pledged to protect Zhongxia's overseas interests.

Third, it is determined to open a second battlefield, and the combat operations in Western Europe should not be later than March next year.

After the conference, the Allied forces on the Western Front will begin strategic bombing against the Third Reich and the countries it controls.

The purpose of strategic bombing was to destroy and attack the Third Reich's industry and economy, undermine the people's will to resist, and thus weaken its military strength.

The primary targets of strategic bombing were shipyards, aircraft manufacturing plants, steel plants, oil refineries, etc., making it impossible for the Third Reich to carry out normal military production.

After the primary target are transportation hubs or trunk lines such as railways, highways, and airports.

At the same time, we must gain control of the sea as soon as possible and cut off the supply of external resources to the Third Reich.

The Baghdad Conference regarded the anti-fascist war as a whole and initially achieved mutual support and coordination.

The collaboration of the Allied forces was further strengthened, holding high the banner of justice and marching forward in strides.

The darkness and panic of the past are gone forever.
