606 – Stalingrad (2)

The Battle of Stalingrad, an irresistible battle between the Black Devil and the Red Army, broke out.

Unlike the giants, the level of the Red Army was usually quite high, so readers had expectations about what kind of fight would break out.

While American troops moved from place to place beating the Japanese across Guadakcanal, Nazi Germany and the Soviets were only in one location, Stalingrad.

[Siege warfare wearing the mask of urban warfare. Each building is a castle.]

[The bombardment could destroy the building, but it could not be completely destroyed. Is this possible?]

[It is true that a building built of stone is stronger than a building built of wood. But I didn’t know it would be like this.]

As much as this world shows unbalanced scientific development, the building itself is close to modernity.

Elves who are said to have spread the basics of civilization, dwarves who have mastered manual dexterity, and demons who have spread the concept of water and sewage systems.

Architecture naturally follows the development to the extent that it is called the mirror of civilization. As a result, the style of the building is quite developed.

However, only for buildings that are mostly classified as works of art, commoners’ buildings are still using wood.

The budget was not only a budget, but there was also an unavoidable aspect because mass production was impossible before.

[Wood burns well and is very vulnerable to fire. However, buildings made of concrete are very hard.]

[From now on, we should change the building instead of relying on the wall.]

[Even at the time of the Ascanal incident, if it had been a concrete building, the damage would have been less.]

People appealed to the need for concrete buildings while watching the Battle of Stalingrad.

Since it was the era of transition from the Middle Ages to the modern era, the walls still existed, and the capital of the Minerva Empire was also surrounded by walls.

However, recently there was news that aircraft and ironclads were being researched in Makina, and the walls were meaningless in the face of bombardment.

In a situation where even a tank, which is firepower itself, appeared, the wall would not have much effect.

[However, even to prevent monsters, you must not give up on the walls. It should be used as a last resort.]

Of course, there was no opinion to completely remove the wall. Even if it was because of the monsters, the castle walls were needed.

It’s useless against flying monsters, but even taking that into account, the walls are essential. Everyone agreed on this, so it went without saying anything.

It can be called a concrete building in the Middle Ages, but in fact, concrete itself could have been invented earlier on Earth.

There was a record that cement was used in Rome. Unfortunately, most of the records were lost after the destruction, and development was delayed.

This world realized the importance of cement early thanks to the existence of the dwarves, and it has been used since then.

Of course, mass production was impossible, so most of them were used only in important places. As you can see, architecture itself is highly developed.

[Street fighting is a difficult situation in the present or future. However, from the standpoint of the defending army, it is the best fortress.]

[Nazi Germany and the Soviet Army chose to fall into purgatory themselves. All that remains is that the number of deaths increases.]

People looked at the aspect of the Battle of Stalingrad and talked about each other.

The side that Nazi Germany would absolutely break through, and the side that the Soviet Union would defend at great cost.

However, until this time, there was a part that people did not expect at all.

“No. Can’t we just stop fighting and go somewhere else?”

Marquis Martius, the commander in charge of the northern zone, was puzzled as he watched the Battle of Stalingrad.

Stalingrad, shown on the map, is a geographically important place. If you didn’t, the Nazi Germans could have stabbed you in the back.

But here Nazi Germany made a big mistake. It means that they limited their strengths and went into battle.

A heavy tank cannot exert a great effect in urban combat, and bombardment by a bomber cannot completely destroy a building.

In other words, it had to be dealt with only infantry, which was what the Soviets were aiming for, and Nazi Germany was completely at stake.

“Even if it’s not Stalingrad, there are many places to aim for…”

As much as he was the commander of the empire, Marquis Martius was also a person with a good understanding of strategy.

Blood and Steel shows a map every time the development continues, and thanks to that, I use it usefully.

Where to use it is, of course, to subject their vassals to a kind of test.

Of course, unfamiliar weapons popped up one after another, so the test was scrapped shortly after, but I was able to get something else instead.

“Are you thinking about running wargames?”

As Blood and Steel was closely related to war, he was able to gain a lot of military-related knowledge.

From the mission-type command system, which was the greatest strength of Nazi Germany, to war games.

In particular, war games were something that Marquis Mathius was very grateful for, as each soldier was precious.

After running the war game, if you think this isn’t the case, you can come up with a different strategy right away.

Even if it was an operation that had to be done inevitably, it was turned and turned as much as possible to increase the probability.

‘It’s shocking to see what Japan did during the Battle of Midway again.’

At the same time, it showed what should not be done in war games. Just change the result at your own will.

Before the Battle of Midway broke out, there was a scene where the Japanese Navy played a wargame, but when they didn’t like it, they changed it to their liking.

When I actually started the actual battle, it flowed according to the simulation, and rather brought about the worst results.

‘Since I told them that information is important, everyone must have come to their senses.’

Above all, the Battle of Midway highlighted the importance of information. Perhaps this is why the number of commanders who focus on information rather than operations has increased.

If you know the enemy and know yourself, you will win 100 times.

‘You’re throwing the right to attack yourself. If I don’t wake up now, the initiative will change soon.’

Marquis Matthew clicked his tongue as he watched the Battle of Stalingrad, where hell began to materialize.

I don’t know why Hitler was stubborn, but I had a strong feeling that it was because of his pride.

Wasn’t it possible to win in the battle of Moscow, but didn’t you lose by turning your eyes elsewhere?

In many ways, it seems to go through a similar process. In the process, bodies would pile up like mountains.

‘Rommel is… uh huh.’

After Red Army, I read Giant, and tears covered my eyes. It is because of the tearful struggle of Rommel, who is called the desert fox.

Rommel is a competent enough commander to hold the North African front, but Nazi Germany is a problem.

His supply goes all to the Soviet Union, Italy sucks, desert weather sucks.

Even the Battle of El Alamein broke out while Rommel was away for a while and could not be rectified.

‘From the point of view of the commander, he can’t reject the upper echelons, and he can’t lose the war either.’

Rommel’s rampage was also the reason for the defeat, but there was no reason for the runaway if the supply was full in the first place.

Even the leadership of Nazi Germany was so desperate that Rommel finally cheered for a shot.

The problem is that every time Rommel blocked it with a ghostly maneuver.

‘It really shows the importance of supply.’

Blood and steel are so perfected that they can be used as teaching aids. First of all, I liked it because it was based on the basic premise of supply.

It clearly showed what kind of results it shows after neglecting the supply for no reason. In any battle, if the supply was destroyed, it was directly linked to defeat.

Furthermore, it was able to accurately penetrate the capabilities of the Axis powers. The Axis powers could not supply as much as the Allies, but they made a double front.

No matter what era it is, the joint attack coming from both sides is bound to crumble no matter how powerful the empire is.

Martius leaned back in his chair after completing the Red Army and then the Giant.

“So, lay some railroads. You dog-like emperor…”

He grumbled in a muffled voice. After the mana locomotive test ride, he actively appealed to the emperor.

The northern region is so barren that supply is quite difficult. If there is only a mana locomotive, it is possible to smooth supply.

Moreover, Zenon, that is, Isaac’s brothers, also served in the Navy Knights. Berrit had no choice but to worry.

But it was rejected. The aftermath of the Great Depression has not completely disappeared, and the budget has not even been established.

It is questionable whether the government can wait until then when the interest rate has to be lowered to give the budget or not.

smart tock-

[Marquis Martius. This is Viscount Callas. May I come in?]

While Martius grumbled, Viscount Callas, or Marshall, knocked for permission.

In response, Mathius let go of his leaning back and gave permission in a solemn voice.

kiik-

As soon as the permit was granted, Marshall’s figure was revealed. The bright eyes and thick lips still exude a sense of presence.

Marquis Martius said nothing, only with facial expressions. what did you come for

Marshall read that expression and said, showing the letter in his hand.

“This is a message from His Majesty the Emperor. He asked me to send it to the Marquis.”

“what?!”

I thought it was just such a story, but it was a matter that I couldn’t help but open my eyes.

As soon as the Marquis heard Marshal’s words, Marquis jumped up from his seat and hurriedly approached him.

I took the letter as if snatching it, wondering if it was related to the magical power locomotive. Marshall said nothing during that time.

“······”

After reading the letter for a while, Marquis Mathius’ expression changed in real time.

At first it was hopeful, but then it gradually became disappointing. Marshall, who had been watching, guessed at first glance that this would be bad news.

“What does it say?”

“······soccer.”

“Yes?”

“They tell me to go watch soccer. There’s a ball game that’s popular these days. They say it’s to relieve the knights’ stress… haa…”

Marquis Matthew let out a long sigh. The Navy Knights already enjoy playing rugby, not soccer.

Still, there is only one reason why people ask me to go watch soccer. A plan to popularize football.

I can’t go that way I don’t know what disadvantages there will be if I don’t go.

If it’s not a military part, the emperor has no choice but to install it.

“You go too.”

“Okay. When can I go?”

“Let’s go as fast as we can. Oh, by the way, have you read the new work that came out this time?”

“Of course I read it.”

It’s fast too. Unlike Marquis Matthew, who is busy with hard work, Marshall is relatively relaxed.

Also, as you all know, I’m a big fan of Blood and Steel, and I’m currently working hard on Bombardment.

However, there was a situation where even he perceived blood and steel as a ‘fantasy’.

‘Did you say it was impossible when you saw that Lend-Lease was supported by Britain and the Soviet Union?’

overwhelming prevalence in the United States. Even the weapon lending law, which was like that piece, was nailed down as impossible.

It was the supply that decided the survival of the two countries, but their own supply would not be able to handle it.

However, the U.S. forces gradually began to show their overwhelming capabilities in the Gwakanal campaign.

“Yes. Did you see or feel anything?”

“I just think it’s great.”

“What about it?”

Of course, I thought it was spread. However, Marquis Martius’ prediction was wrong.

“Soviet troops charging with firepower were amazing.”

“······”

“On the other hand, if you charge without firepower, it will be like a Japanese banzai attack. Thanks to you, I learned a lot.”

How can there be no normal people around? Matthew lamented his situation.
