Chapter 305: Model's appearance! 30 versus 200 million!
At worst, after building a monument for ordinary soldiers, I can build another monument for myself in another place.

For a great Tang Dynasty, it wouldn’t be a problem to build dozens of monuments!
Just now, Li Shimin didn't know how to best build the new Lingyan Pavilion monument.

Now listen to what Wei Zheng said.

If I use the monument to commemorate kings, princes, generals and ministers.

That's just mediocre.

And to commemorate ordinary soldiers.

That's the first time in the history of the world!
Which of these two options will be more likely to go down in history?

Li Shimin already knew the answer.

And the Qing Dynasty.

Qianlong looked at the soldiers' monument on the sky curtain.

I was also very surprised.

Not some amazing monument, just a memorial to the common soldier.

Instead, he was surprised that this could be repaired by the level of Rakshasa Country?

all the time.

Qianlong boasted that he was very familiar with the barbarian countries in the West.

In Qianlong's cognition.

The Rakshasa Kingdom in the north is a barbaric half-Mongolian country.

It’s just that the Rakshasa Kingdom has learned some advanced technologies.

They wore court costumes like the French and spoke French.

A little bit more civilized.

But overall.

In Qianlong's view, there was not much difference between the Rakshasa Kingdom and the barbarians.

And Qianlong always believed that.

If you had to pick two great artistic nations among the barbarian countries of the West.

That should also be the Italian region.

Or France where his pen pal Louis XVI is.

Now, I saw the statues at the Monument to Soldiers of the Battle of Rzhev.

Even a proud monarch like Qianlong felt that his achievements were invincible and that the Qing Dynasty he led was far ahead of the rest of the world.

I have to admit it.

The Rakshasa Kingdom in the north.

You really have a way to play with art!
After all, Qianlong still had some ability to appreciate art.

Then Qianlong had to admit it.

"Alas, sometimes, our Qing Dynasty cannot really be said to be far ahead."

"Perhaps we can invite two artists from Luosha Country to come and build a monument for our Qing Dynasty?"

"No! It's to build 10 monuments to commemorate my ten military achievements."

"It will also be good for future generations of Chinese people to see."

"What exactly is a wise ruler?"

"You can't continue to blindly slander us, saying that the great Emperor Qianlong, who was an old man with ten great military achievements, was actually a tyrant."

……

The ancients all admired the monument to the Battle of Rzhev.

Those who understand art can see the doorway.

Those who don't understand art can just watch the fun.

But at this moment, the music in the video suddenly became tense and rapid.

The video footage focuses on the front of the statue.

Use a montage technique.

It creates an effect of traveling through time and space.

From modern times, all the way to World War II.

Then Tianmu began to tell the story formally.

This is a forgotten battle.

[This is a battle that the Soviet Union is reluctant to mention.]

[This was a battle with an extremely unequal military strength.]

[This was a battle that made Model famous and became the top defense master in World War II. ]

[In this battle, Model flexibly used the support point tactics. ]

【Defeated 370 million Soviet troops! 】

[German soldiers suffered more than 30 casualties, and killed and wounded nearly 200 million Soviet soldiers! ]

So what exactly is the situation of this battle?

【Under the circumstance of inferior military strength. 】

[How could Model withstand the attack of the massive Soviet army? ]

【Let's take a look. 】

[This was one of the largest, bloodiest, and most desperate battles in the history of World War II. ]

【The forgotten battle of Rzhev.】

The ancient people outside the sky.

I was originally immersed in the artistic atmosphere of appreciating the monument, and I didn't think about the war.

But suddenly, a voice from the sky was heard, and the Battle of Rzhev began to be introduced.

And say it.

The German army suffered more than 30 casualties despite being outnumbered.

Nearly 200 million Soviet troops were killed or wounded!
This made the ancient people tremble with shock.

Even Bai Qi, the master of annihilation warfare, found this number hard to believe.

"How many?"

"30 for nearly 200 million? How is this war fought?"

"Could it be that the German army was so unstoppable at the beginning of the war, dividing and encircling the enemy in various ways, that the casualty ratio was 5 to 1?"

"But there were several key battles at the beginning of the war."

"Battle of Kiev, Battle of Minsk, Battle of Bryansk, etc."

"Tianmu has already explained it, but it doesn't match this data?"

"The Battle of Rzhev, could it be that the war was in the middle stage, with both sides engaging in a direct battle?"

"In a head-on battle, is it possible to inflict such casualties?"

“I don’t know what happened.”

“Is it because the Soviet Union is too weak?”

One side was extremely surprised.

At the same time, Bai Qi was also thinking about several classic battles he had commanded.

The most outstanding battle in his career was the Battle of Changping.

Indeed, more than 40 Zhao troops were wiped out.

But the Qin Dynasty also suffered heavy casualties!
In the early confrontation stage.

The Qin army launched several attacks.

However, they repeatedly ran into obstacles in the face of Zhao's defense.

This is a considerable loss.

And in the final battle encirclement and annihilation stage.

The casualties on the Qin side also exceeded 20.

It can be said that the Battle of Changping was an absolute tragic victory.

So when Bai Qi saw the sky saying that the German army suffered more than 30 casualties.

When nearly 200 million Soviet troops were killed or wounded.

It’s true. I was immediately shocked.

And in addition to being shocked.

The God of Killing Bai Qi also immediately looked at the sky with full concentration.

Be prepared to study seriously.

Southern Song Dynasty.

Defense master Meng Gong was even more interested when he saw the story of a defensive battle about to begin on the sky curtain.

"Support point tactics?"

“Is this a defensive tactic from later generations?”

Meng Gong was very confident in his ability to command a defensive battle.

While taking advantage of the terrain and gradually consuming the enemy's defense in depth.

Meng Gong was confident that he could defeat any invading enemy.

Whether it is the Jin soldiers.

Or the Mongolian army.

No problem at all.

But Meng Gong also knew it.

Simple defense alone cannot achieve decisive results.

Now all I can do.

Just defend as much as possible.

Delay it as much as possible.

See if the external situation will change.

Will civil strife break out among the mighty Mongolian army?

This would give the Song Dynasty a chance to catch its breath.

Even if those Mongolian barbarians were to fall into a complete melee.

It is not impossible for the Song Dynasty to take advantage of the opportunity to launch a northern expedition.
But at least for now.

Meng Gong knew that the Song Dynasty's main focus should still be on defense.

Meng Gong felt that defense would not be a problem.

But looking at the sky, the German army suffered more than 30 casualties on defense, while killing and wounding nearly million Soviet troops, a dazzling record.

Meng Gong was also jealous.

If it were me, I could also cause tens of thousands or even more than 10 casualties to the Mongolian army in a defensive war.

That would at least guarantee peace in the Song Dynasty for more than 10 years!

It might even bring down the huge Mongol Empire!
