Jagged Germany

  General Lundstedt was surprised and delighted that he could serve as the commander of Army Group E. Although, among the five major army groups of the German army, Army Group E has only two armies with the least strength, and the two armies that have just been formed have the weakest combat effectiveness. But this is an army commander after all. This also means that he has already half-stepped into the realm of the marshal.

  After the completion of the first phase of the Barbarossa plan, the commanders of the four army groups A, B, C, and D were all promoted to marshals. If he can lead Army Group E to defeat Bu Russia and win the next war, he believes that His Majesty the Emperor will not be stingy with a marshal's scepter.

   As for whether the Russians can be defeated, Admiral Lundstedt has no doubts about it at all. After all, the enemy they had to deal with first was the Russian Caucasus Front Army. There are not many troops in this front, and their combat effectiveness is even weaker. Although they were able to defeat the Turks and Iranians, it was not because the Russian army was too strong, but because the Turks and Iranians were too weak. In the case of the German army, the strength of the two armies is enough to fight them all over the place!

   "Your Majesty, I want to rush to the Persian Gulf immediately to familiarize myself with the situation there!" Admiral Rundstedt said. Now, he doesn't want to waste a moment. The sooner you arrive in the Persian Gulf, the earlier you will be able to formulate a combat plan.

   "My general, you don't need to call like that. It will take time for the 21st Army and 22nd Army to reach the Persian Gulf. When the time comes, the Air Force will send a plane to take you there." Qin Tian said with a smile.

   "Yes, Your Majesty." Admiral Lundstedt also knew that he seemed too eager. However, it is impossible for anyone not to be anxious when encountering such a thing. Now, he is still the deputy chief of staff of the army. After he became the commander of Army Group E, it is obvious that this position cannot be concurrently held, and the handover needs to be done well.

"By the way, Your Majesty. Before the 21st Army and the 22nd Army arrive at the Persian Gulf, can the 7th Air Force Group of the Air Force rush to the Middle East? Launching an air strike against the Russian army can also play a role in delaying them." Admiral Lundstedt said. Now he is already thinking about the next battle, and he must do his best to delay the Russian army. Only in this way can we buy time for the arrival of the main force of the German army.

   "It shouldn't be a problem, right? We already have quite a few airports in the Middle East. It's just that we didn't have many planes stationed there before." Qin Tian said. Countries in the Middle East do not have a decent air force, and those airports are all prepared for the German Air Force. It's just that there were no enemies in this direction before, so the Luftwaffe did not have a large-scale presence.

   "Your Majesty, the 7th Aviation Group can immediately transfer to the Middle East. However, we need to dispatch a large number of transport planes to transport the aerial bombs." Marshal Albert Kesselring said.

   "Well, let the air force participate in the air strike against the Russians as soon as possible. With air support, the Turks and Iranians should be able to hold out for a longer time." Qin Tian said.

   "Yes, Your Majesty!" Marshal Albert Kesselring replied.

"Everyone, the Russians launched an attack on the Persian Gulf this time. It can be seen that although Russia suffered heavy losses in the previous battles. However, they are still far from the point where they are injured, and they still have the strength to launch a counterattack. Therefore , our combat mission next year will still be very arduous. Not only will we occupy Moscow and Josephgrad and other big cities, but we will also further wipe out the vital forces of the Russian army, so that they can only struggle against us in the next battle If you don't have the strength to launch a counterattack!" Qin Tian said.

   "Yes, Your Majesty!" Everyone replied. They all firmly believe that the German army will be able to achieve even more brilliant success next year.

  The German army began to mobilize on a large scale, so naturally they couldn't hide it from others. Whether it is the United States or Russia, there are many spies in Germany. The troops of the two German armies headed to the port, which naturally made it easy for them to guess what happened.

  Belia, a member of the Russian NKVD, reported the news to Joseph as soon as possible.

   "Two armies, 400,000 people! Such a force is definitely not something that the Caucasus Front Army can handle." Joseph said with great certainty. In the previous battles, he has fully understood how powerful the German army is. Don't look at the Caucasus Front Army is fighting very well now, and the Turks and Iranians are running away with their heads in their arms. However, facing the German army, the battle situation may be reversed immediately.

   "Let Comrade Shaposhnikov come to see me immediately!" Joseph ordered.

   Soon, Shaposhnikov, Chief of Staff of the Russian Army, rushed to Joseph's office.

  After learning that the German army had sent two armies to reinforce the Persian Gulf, Shaposhnikov's face was also very ugly. Because he knew that the Caucasus Front Army's mission this time would be impossible to complete. In front of the two armies of the German army, the Caucasus Front Army is not an opponent at all, and will soon be defeated.

   "Comrade Joseph, the situation is not good for us. If the two German armies rush to the Persian Gulf, the Caucasus Front Army will not be the opponent anyway!" Shaposhnikov said.

   Joseph nodded, but he didn't want his painstakingly prepared plan to fail. He knew that this was the only chance for the Russian army to counterattack. If he missed it, he might never have such a chance again.

   "Is there no way to recover?" Joseph asked.

Shaposhnikov frowned and thought about it, and he said after a while: "Comrade Joseph, it will take about half a month for the two German armies to rush to the Persian Gulf. If the Caucasus Front can If we hit Kuwait within a month, we may still have a chance to destroy the German oil fields in Kuwait and Iraq. Otherwise, we will never have another chance!"

  Based on the current front of the Caucasus Front Army, if they want to reach Kuwait, they need to advance more than 600 kilometers southward. It is almost impossible to advance such a long distance in half a month. Even without the enemy's blocking, it would be impossible to do it just by marching.

   "Give the Caucasus Front Army an order to speed up their southward movement! Especially the two tank divisions, it's up to them whether they can destroy the German oil fields!" Joseph still didn't give up lightly.
