Chapter 178 The Great Patriotic War, Operation Barbarossa!

The new sky is also related to war.

It's just a modern WWII-era war.

Some black and white images appeared on the screen.

Machine guns roared, artillery shells exploded, tanks charged, and fighter planes roared.

As soon as the ancient people saw the picture and the uniforms of the soldiers in the picture, they knew it was from World War II.

War and politics are inherently very eye-catching.

Coupled with the opening part of the sky screen video, the background music is tense, exciting and amazing.

It can be said that it instantly attracted the attention of all ancient people.

[After Germany conquered Poland and France, it became an open secret that the Soviet Union and Germany would go to war.]

[The whole world knows that the Soviet Union and Germany are going to go to war, but the whole world is guessing when the war will start.]

【But one thing is certain. 】

[Those were the two most powerful land forces in the world at the time, and they were about to engage in an unprecedented showdown! ]

See here.

The ancients understood.

Ying Zheng said: "Germany first destroyed Poland, and then destroyed France."

"It is already invincible in western Europe."

"It is expected that the Soviet Union and Germany will go to war next."

"After all, there is no room for two tigers in one mountain."

"But wasn't Britain also a world power during World War II? Did Germany defeat Britain?"

"Has Germany resolved the threat from Britain?"

"Or is it that Britain relied on its naval superiority to make Germany unable to do anything to it?"

"And Britain couldn't get ashore, so Germany simply ignored Britain?"

"But that would be like fighting on two fronts, which is not good news for Germany."

"After all, Britain still has some strength. Even if the British Army is no match, the navy alone can make Germany's overseas trade and communication very difficult."

“Not to mention, there’s the United States.”

"Germany's strategy seems to have problems?"

"Then what is it that drives Germany to rush to attack the huge Soviet Union even if it has to fight on two fronts?"

Early Han Dynasty.

At this time, Liu Bang was having dinner with his father Liu Taigong.

I saw on the sky curtain that the Soviet Union and Germany in the future were about to go to war.

I also know that the highlight is coming.

"Tianmu has previously introduced the participating military forces of various countries in the world during World War II."

"The mobilization force and mobilization rate of Germany and the Soviet Union are both ridiculously high."

"A confrontation between two of the world's top powers!"

“It’s absolutely a horror of unprecedented scale!”

Liu Taigong did not see the content of the sky curtain analysis as thoroughly as Liu Bang, so he asked his son: "Alas, that my son, Your Majesty."

"Who do you think will win in a war between Germany and the Soviet Union?"

……

Who will win between the Soviet Union and Germany?
This problem also occurred during the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

Emperor Wu of Han, Liu Che, asked his trusted and beloved generals Wei Qing and Huo Qubing.

Ask them who they think will win if a war breaks out between the Soviet Union and Germany?

The young and energetic Huo Qubing was the first to answer.

"Germany, without a doubt!"

"Judging from its performance in previous wars, Germany's military level was already beyond that era."

"For other countries, it's simply a higher level of attack!"

"And the Soviet Union might be able to withstand a fight."

"But the Soviet Union will suffer heavy losses in the face of Germany and will have no choice but to seek peace."

"And Tianmu has said that before."

"The German army wiped out a large number of Soviet soldiers in several battles."

"It should be what's going to happen next in the war!"

Huo Qubing liked Germany's strategic thinking.

Think Germany will win.

Liu Che knew.

After hearing some of the stories told by Tianmu, Huo Qubing had already become a staunch supporter of Germany.

So Huo Qubing would say that the German army would win a great victory in the next war.

This was within Liu Che's expectations.

But Wei Qing obviously had a different opinion.

"I agree that the German army will take the initiative in the next war."

"After all, the combat effectiveness displayed by the German army is obvious to all."

"But as to who will win or lose in the end, it's probably hard to say."

"After all, according to what Tianmu said before, Germany is equivalent to fighting against France, Britain, the United States, the Soviet Union and many other countries at the same time."

“The above countries were the strongest countries in the world at that time.”

"They are all fighting against Germany."

"I'm afraid the strongest ally Germany can win is Italy or something like that?"

"And Italy's fighting power..."

"I already knew most of it when Tianmu talked about Ethiopia before."

"The Italian army is not very good."

"So I think the German army will have a certain advantage in the early stages of the war."

"But in the end... the victory of the war is probably still on the Soviet side."

What about Liu Che’s own thoughts?
Liu Che also felt that the Soviet side should have the advantage.

But Liu Che thought it was not the Soviet Union that was strong, but the German army was fighting too many opponents at the same time.

So Liu Che said:

"I do think that the German army is very strong and can take the initiative on the battlefield for a long time."

"But the Soviet Union relied on its abundant manpower and vast territory."

"It was able to withstand Germany's superior blitzkrieg and not be destroyed by the rapid blitzkrieg like France."

"If the German army were to start a war now, it would be caught in a two-front war with Britain and the Soviet Union."

"Plus, the United States will probably not sit idly by and watch Germany dominate the European continent."

"There is a high probability that they will join the war together with Britain."

"The scenario is that the Soviet Union draws Germany's firepower."

"Draw Germany into the quagmire of war, and then Britain and the United States will come in and cooperate with the Soviet Union to defeat Germany."

After listening to the emperor's analysis, Wei Qing felt that what Liu Che said was more comprehensive.

So he agreed and said:

"Your Majesty is right. I agree with your Majesty!"

“I also believe that in the later World War II, Britain and the United States fought the main force and defeated Germany.”

"And the Soviet Union will also suffer damage and heavy losses, becoming a victorious country in a supporting capacity."

"While the Soviet Union was suffering, British and American troops could enter the German capital."

And in the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Di looked at the contents of the sky curtain and the border map of Nasud that appeared on the sky curtain.

He was also not optimistic about the future fate of the Soviet Union.

"I never thought that the Russian tribes that were easily conquered by the Mongols would eventually develop into such a behemoth!"

“Their territory is so vast.”

"But it also makes it very difficult for them to defend their borders."

"I wonder what the Soviet Union's defense deployment on the border is like?"

"If they set up defenses along such a long border and concentrated all their forces on the border..."

"Faced with the German blitzkrieg, I'm afraid we'll suffer heavy losses."

"The German army's combat effectiveness at the time was probably the best in the world. I'm afraid the Soviet Union really couldn't defeat Germany."

"It depends on whether the United Kingdom and the United States can come up with any solution."

"Otherwise, the Soviet Union would have been badly beaten by Germany."

"Maybe you'll surrender in the end?"

"But no matter how weak the Soviet Union is, given its size and military strength, it won't be destroyed in a month like France."

"If the German army succeeds, it will be able to annihilate the main Soviet forces within three to six months and force the Soviet Union to cede territory and seek peace."

……

For a time, the ancient people of all generations who learned that the Soviet Union and Germany were about to go to war were all speculating who would win in the end.

And what the situation will be like in a short period of time after the war breaks out.

And amidst countless people’s guesses and speculations, the sky screen continued to play.

【The Great Patriotic War! Operation Barbarossa is playing for you. 】

Accompanied by the narration of the sky curtain.

A German plane appeared on the sky, and several Soviet soldiers rushed over and captured the German pilot who had made an emergency landing.

[The Soviet pilot inspected the bullet holes he had left on the German plane with satisfaction.]

[Civil aviation codes were painted on German planes, but military patterns could be seen on the bodies of German pilots.]

[Burned film can be seen on the grass at the crash landing site.]

【This is a German reconnaissance plane. 】

[The reconnaissance altitude is as high as ten kilometers. It is usually difficult to be shot down when conducting aerial reconnaissance at such a high altitude. ]

[However, on April 1941, 4, this German reconnaissance plane was forced to lower its altitude due to engine failure, thus entering the range of the Soviet pilots.]

[The Soviet MiG-3 aircraft damaged it and forced it to make an emergency landing.]

[During the interrogation of the German captured pilot, he claimed that he accidentally got lost and entered Soviet airspace.]

[But the place where they fell was hundreds of kilometers deep into the Soviet Union.]

[There was also a Soviet border map on the plane. So this statement was obviously a lie.]

[In fact, both sides knew that these German pilots had been conducting reconnaissance on the Soviet border for a long time.]

[This was to prepare for Germany's invasion of the Soviet Union.]

Outside the sky.

Ying Zheng nodded slightly when he saw this.

"It seems that the German army's secrecy work is not very good. The Soviet Union has already known about it in advance."

"It is known that the Soviet Union was a large and powerful country."

"Now that we know the approximate time of the German attack, we can prepare in advance."

"If nothing else happens."

"I'm afraid the German blitzkrieg this time will encounter a tough challenge."

Ying Zheng initially felt that the German army’s confidentiality work was not very good.

The next war will be a failure.

This was a mistake made by the German army.

But on second thought, Ying Zheng had to say:
"Such a large-scale mobilization, with millions of troops on the offensive, is indeed difficult to keep secret."

"After all, people in later generations have airplanes, and with the presence of spies, it is impossible to keep it completely secret."

"The Soviet Union knew that Germany was going to attack him."

"Germany should also know that the Soviet Union knows he is going to attack him."

"What kind of excellent defensive deployment will the Soviet army make next against the German attack?"

“This is worth learning.”

"And what kind of adjustments will the German army make in response to the fact that the Soviet army is well prepared in advance?"

“That’s also worth looking forward to.”

Ying Zheng continued to admire the sky curtain with anticipation, with an attitude of watching a show and enjoying the fun.
