Chapter 627 Georgia (18)
Moscow.
The atmosphere in the Kremlin was particularly depressing. Stalin's office was filled with the sound of things being thrown, and Stalin's roar and slapping of the table. "Failure, why did you fail again! What other news can you bring besides failure?!"
Looking at Stalin, whose face was livid and ferocious, and who looked like he was going to eat someone, Hripin wiped the sweat from his forehead.
The reason why Stalin was so angry was that the night bombing of the Baku oil field was a complete failure.
Originally, they were worried that the daytime bombing would be intercepted by German fighter planes, so they chose to bomb at night. Unexpectedly, the more than 150 bombers sent out were wiped out before they flew over the Baku oil field. "Comrade Stalin, the German night fighters are more powerful than we expected." Hripin could only explain helplessly, meaning that it was not that we were not good enough, but that the opponent was too strong.
In fact, as early as last year, the German army intercepted the British bomber group at night. At that time, the German V3 artillery began to bombard London. In order to destroy the V3 base, the British sent a large number of bombers. After the daytime bombing failed, they followed up with night bombing, but the result was the same annihilation of the entire army.
In order not to affect morale, the British high-level officials did not disclose it to the outside world, and the Soviets naturally did not know that the German night fighters were so powerful.
Heli Plain thought that even if it was intercepted by the German army, it would lose at most about a quarter, but it did not expect that these more than 150 bombers were completely wiped out!
In addition to feeling distressed, he couldn't help but feel fortunate that he didn't send all 400 bombers at once, otherwise he would really die to apologize.
"I heard that the German fleet in the Black Sea is bombing the Sevastopol Fortress? Didn't Kuznetsov say that he would send submarine forces to let the Germans know how powerful our submarines are?!" Kuznetsov was racking his brains to think about the plan to bomb Berlin, Germany, and he was not here, otherwise he would have to bear Stalin's anger.
After a hysterical temper, Stalin asked with a heavy breath. "Is there any other way to destroy the Baku oil field?" Thinking about the oil from the Baku oil field becoming fuel for German tanks and airplanes, and those tanks and airplanes would be used to attack the Soviet Union, Stalin felt uncomfortable and wanted to raze the Baku oil field to the ground immediately.
"Comrade Stalin, we will come up with a countermeasure as soon as possible." Hribin could only promise this.
"You go." Stalin waved his hand tiredly.
On the other side of the Turkish battlefield, the five-nation coalition was unstoppable, and the Turkish army was defeated.
The five divisions supported by the Soviet Union had not yet been deployed to the battlefield. They were either ambushed by the German army or bombed by bombers, and more than half of them had been killed or injured.
Seeing that the country was about to be destroyed, Turkish President Ismet Inonu asked Prime Minister Refik Sedam to discuss countermeasures. The most terrible thing was that they could not even escape after the country was destroyed. (The Mediterranean Sea has long been Germany's inland sea, and now even the Black Sea is occupied by the German Navy. Almost all the countries adjacent to Turkey are hostile. Georgia and Armenia, which originally belonged to the Soviet Union, have also encountered changes and it is impossible to escape.) The land, sea and air have been completely blocked. Even if they want to go into exile in other countries to establish an exile government, they can't escape from Turkey!
After discussing for a long time, they can only ask Germany for a ceasefire. Although Germany did not formally declare war on Turkey, everyone knows that Germany is the mastermind behind the Five Power Alliance.
The Turkish ambassador to Germany urgently visited German Foreign Minister Ribbentrop and conveyed the intention of the country. As long as the war can be stopped, any conditions can be negotiated.
Ribbentrop reported the matter to Yannick.
However, Yannick was not in the palace at this time. He was hunting with Prime Minister Pétain in a hunting ground.
"Oh my! What is it?!" Yannick was resting against a big tree. Suddenly, something fell on his shoulder. He felt something furry moving on his neck, and goose bumps appeared all over his body instantly.
He turned his head suddenly, only to find that it was a squirrel standing steadily on his shoulder, with its fluffy tail falling into his collar.
"Oh, you scared me, little thing." Yannick stretched out his hand to touch it, and the squirrel seemed to be frightened, and flexibly jumped onto the tree trunk, climbed up, and in the blink of an eye climbed into the tree hole above, which seemed to be its home.
Yannick said as he walked forward. "Mr. Pétain, I have no objection to your suggestion of forming an anti-Soviet corps."
Many German servants appeared on the Soviet-German battlefield in the original time and space, such as Romania, Hungary, Croatia, and allies Italy and Finland. But Vichy France was absent, which was certainly not the intention of Pétain and Laval. They were not qualified to decide whether France would join the war or not.
For the mustache, he did not want to have too much military cooperation in the war between France and Germany. He was cautious about those Vichy French high-level officials or those who claimed to be "collaborators".
One of the reasons is that in his future plan, the entire European continent can only have one powerful force, Germany, and other countries will be subordinate. Suppressing the military power of France will be a long-term goal, and the 100,000 "truce troops" retained are the minimum maintenance needs. Not to mention their low combat effectiveness, they are likely to be more of a drag than the Romanian and Hungarians.
The second reason is that if the invading army is rebuilt in France, it may lead to the expansion of Vichy France's military power. This possibility of future uncertainty must of course be strangled in the cradle. Moreover, France, which guarantees Germany's industrial and logistical needs, will not allow the spare capacity to build a large army to go to the Soviet Union.
However, now that the European Union has been established, as the second-in-command of the European Union, it seems a bit unreasonable to have a military force far weaker than that of the member states. So Yannick agreed to Prime Minister Pétain's request to independently form an anti-Soviet army, but he still added one sentence. "If Mr. Pétain is worried about the distribution of benefits after the war, you can put your mind at ease. I have always been fair in doing things. I will naturally give corresponding rewards to others for their efforts. But if Mr. Pétain has other intentions, it's hard to say."
Prime Minister Pétain hurriedly expressed his position. "Of course I believe in your Highness."
Yannick nodded. "Then how many troops does Mr. Pétain plan to form? Let me first state that the soldiers previously sent to the German Foreign Legion cannot be transferred back."
"About 200,000."
As they talked, the group walked up a small hill and saw a few deer drinking water by a pond not far away.
Yannick loaded the deer hunting bullet into the shotgun. This bullet contains 9 7mm diameter bullets, and the energy shot out by each bullet is equivalent to the power of an ordinary pistol.
"I'll choose the one on the far left." He raised his shotgun and aimed at one of the deer, whispering.
"Then I'll choose the one on the far right."
"One, two, three!"
"Bang!" Two gunshots rang out, and a male deer near the pond bent its front legs, rolled over, and staggered to the ground. The other deer were in a mess, fleeing in a hurry, and one of them fell to the ground powerlessly before running a few steps.
