Anti-Japanese War: My equipment is infinitely refreshed

"Do I need to elaborate?" Cun Yunsheng looked at Colonel Hader's slightly hesitant expression and seemed unwilling to face reality, and said with a sneer. There was a hint of sarcasm in his tone, as if to say, the situation is so clear, why are you still pretending to be confused.

This is really not something that needs to be thought about. The German army's potential is about to be exhausted. Although the German army is lucky to have obtained the Libyan oil fields and even the newly acquired Persian oil fields, it stands to reason that this can play a great role in alleviating Germany's energy shortage problem.

But the problem is that time waits for no one. If we want to bring the production capacity of these two new oil fields to its peak, it will take a lot of time to carry out a series of work including development, construction, and improvement of supporting facilities.

What the German army lacked the most was time. How could the Allies watch the German army digest the oil smoothly, recover and continue to grow?
Definitely not, so after some discussion, the Allies took decisive action and began to expand their support for the British Isles. Their purpose was obvious, which was to gather forces as quickly as possible, land on the European continent, and attack the German army's lair.

As for other battlefields, the US military is currently in a special state. To say that they have given up does not mean a complete withdrawal. They are just maintaining the status quo and keeping their troops on hold for the time being.

They had their own plans in mind. They wanted to concentrate on dealing with the German troops in Europe first. After eliminating this serious threat, they would turn around and launch a counterattack on other battlefields with the advantages they had accumulated.

"Don't you know? Your homeland has been bombed, and many factories in the Ruhr industrial zone have been destroyed." Cun Yunsheng continued to speak expressionlessly, and every word was like a sharp blade, stabbing Colonel Hader's heart.

The Ruhr Industrial Zone was an important industrial base of the German army, with many ammunition production factories concentrated there. As a result, this wave of air strikes caused heavy losses there, with a large number of production lines destroyed and production capacity sharply reduced. This was undoubtedly a heavy blow to the subsequent operations of the German army, and directly affected key links such as the ammunition supply on the front line. How could Colonel Hader not know this? He just didn't want to face this cruel reality.

Upon hearing that the Ruhr industrial area had been bombed, Colonel Hader's face instantly became extremely ugly, as if covered by a thick layer of haze. His brows were tightly furrowed, and his eyes were full of worry and shock.

He knew very well that the consequences of the bombing of the Ruhr industrial area were self-evident and would inevitably have serious impacts on battlefields everywhere.

No! It should be said that it had been affected a long time ago. No wonder he had been waiting for reinforcements here before, but there was no sign of reinforcements. It turned out that something happened in the mainland.

He had vaguely sensed that something was wrong before. Normally, after the German army captured the port of Alexandria, there would be no shortage of supplies. After all, there were so many supplies stored in the port, and all kinds of military supplies and daily necessities were piled up like mountains, enough for the German army to use for a year or so. It was thought that with these supplies, they could sustain for a long time, and there would be no worries about shortages of supplies whether they were defending the city or continuing to expand outward.

However, the situation changed after Field Marshal Rommel entered the Middle East.

The troops led by Field Marshal Rommel needed a large amount of supplies. They took away a lot of supplies at once, and every month a batch of supplies had to be delivered to him from Alexandria by navy. After all, fighting in the Middle East also depended on the continuous supply of supplies.

In addition, the construction of Libya's oil fields also requires a huge amount of material investment, from the transportation and installation of various equipment to the deployment of personnel and subsequent maintenance, each of which will consume a lot of materials.

After all these calculations, the supplies originally stored in Alexandria were almost exhausted. Fortunately, a batch of supplies would be replenished from the mainland every month. Logically speaking, even if the consumption was high, the supplies stored in Alexandria should be enough for two or three months. But in the end, the reinforcements he was looking forward to never came.

It turned out that the reason why Alexandria was unable to provide rescue was because the supplies from the mainland had not been delivered. Colonel Hader now completely understood what was going on. The mystery of why the reinforcements had not arrived, which had puzzled him before, was finally solved.

It was at this moment that he finally understood what Cun Yunsheng had meant. It turned out that this was the situation behind it, and he couldn't help feeling bitter in his heart.

"This is only the first wave of air strikes. There will be more and more air strikes later, and as time goes by, the scale of the air strikes will become larger and larger. How long can you withstand it?" Cun Yunsheng looked at Colonel Hader's changing expression, knowing that his words had worked, so he continued to speak slowly.

Although his tone was somewhat cold, what he said were all realistic facts. He was trying to tell the other side that the predicament the German army was facing would only get worse. It was like being trapped in an ever-tightening encirclement, and it would not be easy to break free.

"And your main forces on the Eastern Front are being tied down by the Soviet Army, and are completely unable to return to support." Cun Yunsheng threw out another cruel fact. The German army had invested a large number of troops on the Eastern Front and was in a stalemate with the Soviet Army. Those elite troops were firmly stuck there, and had no way to withdraw to support other battlefields. This undoubtedly made the German army more passive in its overall strategic layout.

"Wake up, you are not far from failure." Cun Yunsheng said in a stern tone. Although he had said this many times before, he felt it was necessary to say it again to make the other party face the reality completely.

As expected, Colonel Hader's face looked unhappy when he heard this, and became even more gloomy, just like the depressing sky before a storm.

He did have some understanding of the strength of the Allied forces, especially after seeing the mountains of supplies in the port of Alexandria, he understood in his heart the huge gap between the two sides in terms of logistics and supplies.

Although the German army has strong combat effectiveness, the soldiers are brave and fearless on the battlefield and have high tactical qualities, but as the saying goes, "a good cook cannot cook without rice", if the logistics supply cannot keep up, the guns have no ammunition, and the soldiers have no rations, then no matter how strong the combat effectiveness is, it will be difficult to maintain it for a long time. Colonel Hader is very clear about this, but he has never wanted to face it. Now that Cun Yunsheng has hit the sore spot so bluntly, he feels very uncomfortable.

"What is your purpose?" Colonel Hader looked at the other party coldly, with vigilance and doubt in his eyes. He knew very well that the other party would never talk to him so much for no reason, and must have other purposes. Otherwise, who would go to so much trouble to analyze the situation and point out the difficulties faced by the German army? He must have some purpose.

"No purpose, just want you to help me train the troops." Cun Yunsheng chuckled, with a seemingly harmless smile on his face, speaking lightly, as if it was just a trivial matter. "That's it?" Colonel Hader was stunned, his eyes widened, his face full of disbelief, thinking that after going through so much trouble and talking about so many things related to the survival of the German army, it was just for this? He had been speculating in his mind before, and even made the worst plan, thinking that the other party wanted him to disclose some military secrets, such as the German army's combat plan, troop deployment, or the technical parameters of some advanced weapons. You know, these are absolutely not to be disclosed. This is related to the lifeblood of the German army. No matter what, he would never agree.

Unexpectedly, he was only asked to help train the troops, which made him feel relieved but also a little disappointed.

Fortunately, the other party did not touch his bottom line and did not put him in a moral dilemma. But what was disappointing was that the intelligence he had was worthless in the eyes of the other party? The other party was not interested at all? Didn't care about the distribution of German troops? Looking at the other party's relaxed expression, it seemed that he really didn't care. This made Colonel Hader feel a little uncomfortable, as if he was being looked down upon.

"Of course, what do you think it is?" The smile on Cun Yunsheng's face became even wider, and there seemed to be a hint of ridicule in that smile, as if he was saying that Colonel Hader was overthinking it. But in fact, Cun Yunsheng had his own plans in mind. He felt that training the troops was only the first step. As long as he could get Colonel Hader to help first, it would not be impossible to slowly get other things he wanted from him later. It was just that now was not the time to make it clear.

"Just training troops?" Colonel Hader took a deep breath, trying to relax his tense and vigilant heart a little.

He quickly calculated in his mind that if it was really just about training the troops, from a professional military perspective, it was not completely impossible to agree to it. After all, he had a wealth of experience in training troops and did have quite a bit of knowledge about it. He thought that if he could make use of what he was good at, it would not be a waste of his abilities.

"Don't worry, it's just a training troop. The combat effectiveness of the troops I have now is too weak, but I have limited officers." Cun Yunsheng looked at Colonel Hader's hesitant expression and began to express his distress. His face was full of helplessness, as if he had been troubled by this thorny problem for a long time.

Even though he has an army of 300,000, at first glance, this number does sound intimidating, and it feels like a very large and powerful force.

But in fact, most of them are natives, and the combat effectiveness of these native soldiers is really terrible. Most of them have not received any formal military training, and their discipline is also very poor. They fight without any rules, and sometimes even collapse at the first blow, so they can't play their due role on the battlefield.

This is why he didn't care about the casualties before.

Firstly, these soldiers were all indigenous people. In his heart, he seemed to feel that it did not matter how many of them died. After all, they were not his own people and he did not cherish them from the bottom of his heart. Secondly, because their combat effectiveness was really too low, they were often just cannon fodder on the cruel battlefield and it was difficult for them to play a key role in the outcome of the battle.

If the fighting ability of these natives could be stronger, he would definitely treat them as treasures, just like the French treat the Foreign Legion.

Take the French Foreign Legion for example. Although its members are all foreigners from various countries, they have strong combat effectiveness and can charge into battle and show their might on the battlefield.

In order to enable these foreign legions to maintain such combat effectiveness, France offers very good treatment, various favorable conditions and good guarantees, just to retain them and make them willing to serve France.

Cun Yunsheng actually envied this model in his heart, so he thought of asking Colonel Hader to help train the indigenous troops in his hands to improve their combat effectiveness, so that he could have more effective forces available in subsequent combat and other matters.

"What? No confidence?" Cun Yunsheng looked at Colonel Hader's slightly hesitant expression, raised his lips slightly, and used provocation again to provoke him. He knew very well that soldiers like Colonel Hader were often arrogant and could not stand being looked down upon. Using this provocation, he might be able to make the other party make up his mind as soon as possible.

"Your predecessors in the past were not as hesitant as you." Cun Yunsheng continued, with a hint of sarcasm in his words, as if he was comparing Colonel Hader with those once-famous German predecessors, implying that he was not as decisive as his predecessors.

Hearing this, Colonel Hader's unwillingness to admit defeat was aroused all at once. He didn't want to be looked down upon and felt that he was not as good as his predecessors, so he didn't hesitate any longer, gritted his teeth, and agreed.

However, the main reason why he agreed was because of the treatment promised by Cun Yunsheng.

After all, he was now a prisoner. If he could get some good treatment by training the troops, it would be a good thing for his future life and for other German brothers who were captured together. So after weighing the pros and cons, he nodded and agreed.

Seeing this, Cun Yunsheng couldn't help but feel happy, and a satisfied smile instantly bloomed on his face.

This is his first attempt, and all things are difficult at the beginning. Now that Colonel Hader has made this start, it means that the road ahead will be much easier.

When encountering German prisoners in the future, we can let Colonel Hader come forward to persuade these people. After all, they are all German people. When Colonel Hader speaks, his persuasiveness will definitely be much stronger. Maybe he can even recruit those outstanding German officers.

As for these excellent German officers, Cun Yunsheng naturally liked them very much. They had rich combat experience and superb military accomplishments. If he could use them for his own benefit, it would be of great help in improving the combat effectiveness of his troops. He seemed to have seen his troops become strong and majestic under the training of these German officers, and he was very happy. (End of this chapter)
