Chapter 286 Dramatic Changes on the European Battlefield
Thus, an extraordinary discussion began!
"I have indeed seen a lot. Generally speaking, the situation of the Allied forces in Europe is very bad. Germany is too strong, and all the Allied forces are spending all their money to fight this war!
Fortunately, the English Navy still has some strength and can deal with Germany across the Channel. Otherwise, I am afraid that the English mainland would have been crowded with German soldiers. "
Xu Le frowned slightly: "So miserable? Not really!"
"This is true. Perhaps to demonstrate their strength, Churchill took me to review their troops! Although their equipment far surpassed that of the National Guard and the Japanese Army, their military appearance, discipline and morale were far inferior to those of the Japanese Army."
"What about Germany and the Soviet Union? How is the battle of Stalingrad going?"
"Although the Soviet Union has defended Moscow, it has exhausted its elite troops. Now it is retreating step by step in Stalingrad. The latest intelligence shows that Germany has suffered about 10 casualties, while the Soviet Union has suffered 40 casualties!"
"That's not right!" Xu Le interrupted Wei Li and said, "England and the Soviet Union both have the strong support of the United States. A lot of military supplies and weapons and ammunition are constantly shipped to these two countries. How could they appear so decadent!"
Others may not know, but based on Xu Le’s memories from his previous life, something is wrong with the current development in Europe!
Most of the aid America provided during World War II went to England and the Soviet Union, which enabled the two countries to turn defeat into victory.
Take the Battle of Stalingrad as an example. It lasted from July 42 to March 7, a total of more than six months, and ultimately ended with the victory of the Soviet Union.
Germany's casualties were about 80, and the Soviet Union's were more than 110 million, which is equivalent to 14 and 19 casualties per month for both sides.
But what about now? It has only been two months since the war began, and it has not yet reached the peak of this major battle. The monthly casualties of both sides are 5 and 20 respectively, which is seriously deviated from the records of the previous life.
It’s not that Germany’s losses were low, but that the Soviet Union’s losses were raised ahead of time.
Could it be that there was a major mistake in the records of the previous life? Or has this world experienced a different development?
However, Wei Li said with a hint of shock: "America did give England a lot of aid, but the total amount is not much, especially the aid in the past six months is not as much as in one month last year. And the Soviet Union, how did the Marshal know that America also gave a lot of aid to the Soviet Union? Since the outbreak of the Soviet-German War, the aid America gave to the Soviet Union is not as much as it gave to England this year!"
Xu Le turned around hurriedly, thinking that he had accidentally let the cat out of the bag again. The Soviet-German War began in June 41, and the United States began to provide aid to the Soviet Union in July. It was with this aid that the Soviet Union was able to win several defensive battles while maintaining its own strength.
Up to now, the aid to the Soviet Union has only been for one year, which is definitely not a long time. Unlike England, which started providing aid in 39.
Suddenly, Xu Le thought of something and turned around to ask, "What did you say just now? You said that the aid America gave to the Soviet Union in the past year is not as much as the aid England received this year!"
Wei Li nodded and said, "Yes, and the total aid England received this year is less than what it received in the first half of last year! So to put it simply, the Soviet Union received almost no aid from the United States. The reason they were able to win the Battle of Moscow was because of their own accumulation and the huge casualties they paid!"
Xu Le felt more and more that something was wrong. He anxiously pulled Wei Li aside and asked, "Churchill should have a rough statistics of the Battle of Moscow. You should not have missed it. What was the ratio of Soviet and German casualties?"
Wei Li thought for a moment and said, "The Battle of Moscow lasted from October last year to February this year, and ended with the victory of the Soviet Red Army, announcing the collapse of Hitler's myth of "blitzkrieg is invincible." Germany suffered more than 10 casualties, and the Soviet Union suffered more than 2 million casualties. A typical tragic victory!"
Xu Le's face immediately turned pale and he sat down on the chair.
No, that's totally wrong!
The Battle of Moscow in the previous life ended in January, but in this world it was delayed by one month!
The German casualties were equal, but the Soviet Union lost 50 more.
It seems that the news Wei Li received was true. The Soviet Union received almost no assistance from the United States and had to rely on itself to withstand the difficulties!
It should be because the losses in the Battle of Moscow were too great, which greatly consumed the Soviet Union's manpower. This made the Soviet Union unable to cope with the current Battle of Stalingrad, losing 40 in just two months.
No wonder the Japanese dared to transfer the elite divisions of the Kwantung Army to the 88th Army in North China to defend it. It turned out that the Japanese knew long ago that the Soviet Union was already overwhelmed and could not take care of the Far East at all.
In addition, the victory at Midway increased the Japanese's arrogance, which made them so eager to attack India.
It was solved. Some of the doubts in Xu Le’s mind were finally solved.
But there is one thing that has not been solved. Even if the United States was defeated in Midway, at most it would not be able to support Southeast Asia, and it would not have any impact on its own industry. Why was there so little military aid to the Allies?
Could it be that the America in this world is not that strong?
Xu Le believed that even without the aid of the United States, the Soviet Union could rely on its geographical advantage to bring Germany down, the only difference was that there would be more casualties.
But a major reversal occurred in other places. Without the aid of the United States, Germany would certainly be unstoppable in the battlefields of Western Europe and North Africa. If it were allowed to successfully join forces with Japan in the Middle East, it would be really over!
It’s not that Xu Le feels that he cannot defeat the coalition forces of the two countries, but if he fights in that way, the casualties among his men will increase greatly, which will seriously affect the completion of the system mission!
There is only 10 years left!
"Pass on my order. All units are ready to march quickly tonight and fight according to the predetermined plan! We can't get lost again."
No wonder Churchill agreed to lease so many places so readily. It turned out that it was a critical moment of life and death. It was a last-ditch struggle and would not miss any chance to survive!
Xu Le now regrets setting a low standard. He should have asked for more places!
Fang Yue asked at this time: "Then Marshal, do we still need to hide our tracks over there in the 101st Division?"
Xu Le shook his head: "I can't trust Yingjili. Let's not hide anything and attack Lashio in a swaggering manner. The 101st Division and others continue their covert march. I want them to capture Myitkyina before the Japanese can react. It would be best if they can also capture Yingduo and cut off the Japanese in the entire northern Myanmar!"
