Chapter 13: The Red Napoleon


    At around 6 o''clock in the afternoon of the next day, the train that everyone was riding on slowly stopped at Moscow Station.


    In the original time and space, he was used to the smooth and fast high-speed train. The sound of this steam train "Kang Dang Dang Dang Dang Dang Dang" can not help but remind Wilhelm of his childhood experience. Of course, because his current identity ispletely different, there is no noise from the passengers around.


    Looking at the city not far away, Wilhelm couldn''t help but sigh.


    Moscow can be said to be a legendary ce. This magnificent city is not only the capital of the country with thergestnd, but also the heart of the entire Soviet Union, the political, economic, scientific, cultural, and transportation center.


    Moreover, it is a city that has experienced countless wars and has been upied by the enemy several times.


    For the first time, the Mongols'' iron horses broke through the walls of Moscow. In the early thirteenth century, Mongolian leaders held a conference on the expedition to the west at Kuriel Terrace. In 1236, the Mongol army crossed the mountains and captured Paul Khan adjacent to Moscow.


    In 1238, the Mongolian military cavalry broke through the walls of Moscow and destroyed Russia. Unlike therge-scale Moscow city we imagine today, Moscow at that time was just a small riverside town, without a huge number of guards guarding it, even valuable things that could be grabbed were not much at all.


    At the end of the 15th century, Ivan III unified Russia and established a centralized state-the Russian Tsarist State, which is what we often call Tsarist Russia. However, in the early days of the founding, Tsarist Russia was still weak and did not establish aplete military system. The capital Moscow was invaded by Crimea in 1572 and was burned again.


    In the middle of the 16th century, Pnd and another country united to form a federation, and its strength was unprecedentedly improved. The federation became the strongest country in Europe. In the early 17th century, it led an expedition to Russia with 180,000 troops. In the Moscow War, Pnd not only won a big victory, but also captured the tsar of Russia.


    During the Russian-French War of 1812, Napoleon had already taken Moscow, but the Russians set fire to Moscow before they retreated, so that the French army could not get any supplies and resources in Moscow. In the winter, the French couldn''t adapt to the Russian cold. In addition, a mysterious team attacked the French army. The long front and supply lines forced Napoleon to abandon Moscow and retreat from Russia. Russia took the opportunity to counterattack, and France was defeated.


    In the original space-time defense of Moscow in 1941, after themander of the German Central Army Group Bok could already see the spire of the Kremlin in the telescope, the Sovietsunched a great winter counterattack, causing the German Central Army Group to lose about 15,000 troops, and broke the myth that the German army was invincible since the outbreak of World War II in Europe on September 1, 1939.


    As the train slowly entered the station, Wilhelm found that the entire station seemed to be under martialw, and no one could be seen. An entire military band stood there, there were dozens of girls standing on the tform holding bright flowers.


    There is also a red carpet at the door of the carriage. At the end of the carpet stands a group of officials seemingly of high ranks, and the one standing at the front is a middle-aged who looks less than forty years old but carries the rank of general on his shoulders.


    "Heh!, the emperor''s presence in person may not bemore than that?" Rommel quietly whispered to Guderian, who was also surprised.


    "It was emphasized that it was an informal visit, but the wee is so grand. It seems that the Soviets have a lot of things to ask of us. Otherwise, they won''t treat a capitalist royal family with such behavior..." Wilhelm sneered and exhorted. "Don''t talk nonsense after you get down, I''m afraid everyone below is proficient in German."


    He felt that the general who came to greet him was a bit familiar, and after thinking about it, he easily matched the photos that he had seen.


    One of the first five marshals of the Soviet Union, Mikhail Nikyevich Tukhachevsky, with the title of "Napoleon in the Red Army"! !


    This marshal was born in 1893 and graduated from the Alexander Military School in 1914. He participated in World War I. During the Soviet-Russian Civil War, he was appreciated by Lenin and became one of the most capablemanders of the group army. After the war, he vigorously promoted the modernization of the Red Army and was one of the core figures of the Soviet army. At the end of World War II in the original time and space, the great depth strategy used by the Soviet Union during the counterattack was created by Tukhachevsky.


    Wilhelm turned his head and nced at Guderian on his side. Inter generations, many people wereparing the strength of Marshal Tukhachevsky''s depth attack and General Guderian''s blitzkrieg.


    However, from his personal point of view, blitzkrieg is only an introduction to mechanized warfare, and arge depth is the mature expression of mechanized warfare.


    To give a simple example: the blitzkrieg leaves only a few reserve teams, requiring to quickly defeat the opponent after the war begins.


    Therge depth divides the troops into two parts, one part is used to open the gap, and the other part immediately assaults from the gap to the depth. As far as actualbat is concerned, after breaking through the enemy''s dense anti-tank fire positions, assault troops often lose the ability to continue assaults. At this time, only a strong reserve team canplete a deep assault. Tukhachevsky was able to imagine the future battlefield situation in the 1930s, while Guderian was on the Soviet-German front in the 1940s but could not understand this truth. It was clear who was strong and who was weak. .


    It seems that Guderian must be changed into the Guderian of war as soon as possible.


    Guderian couldn''t help but shudder. Why do the eyes of the crown prince looking at him remind him of the eyes of hunters looking atmbs?


    Wilhelm led a group of people down the car, the military band on the side immediately yed a wee song, and the girls presented the flowers in their hands to the guests from afar.


    Wilhelm smiled and took the flowers, stepped on the red carpet, and walked forward.


    Looking at Tukhachevsky getting closer, he couldn''t help feeling sad thinking that such an excellent general could not escape his fate.


    In the near future, this "Red Napoleon" will be sentenced to death for espionage and executed immediately! !


    The charge deducted for him was fornicating Germany!


    Perhaps, in the dark, this is the fateful arrangement!


    Wilhelm really wanted to rush up and pat his shoulder and say. "Hey, buddy, in a few years, a certain evil Stalin will attack you and send your whole family to Siberia after killing you. How abouting over with me as soon as possible and going against Stalin together?"


    It is a pity that if he really dares to say this, he will either be regarded as mentally ill, or be beaten by the fanatics around him.


    As he walked up to the front, Tukhachevsky stretched out his hand while grunting out a bunch of Russiannguage. The girl standing beside him immediately tranted the passage into German. "Wee to the visit of His Excellency the Prince Wilhelm of Germany. This is General Tukhachevsky. He will be in charge of this meeting. I am the interpreter, Natasha."
