Transmigrated as the Crown Prince

At around six o'clock in the afternoon the next day, the train everyone was riding came to a slow stop at Moscow Station.

In the original time and space, I was used to riding on the smooth and fast high-speed trains. The "clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang" sound of this steam train reminded Yannick of his childhood experience. Of course, because of his completely different status now, there was no noise from the passengers around him, nor could he hear the classic cries of "beer, drink, mineral water, peanuts, melon seeds and eight-treasure porridge; give it a try and take it back."

Looking at the city not far away, Yannick couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Moscow can be said to be a legendary place. This magnificent city is not only the capital of the country with the largest land area, 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 occupied by enemies several times.

The first time was when the Mongolian cavalry broke through the city wall of Moscow. In the early 13th century, Mongolian leaders held a conference on the Western Expedition at Curiel Terrace. In 1236, the Mongolian army crossed the mountains and captured Bulgar Khan adjacent to Moscow.

In 1238, the Mongolian military cavalry broke through the city wall of Moscow and burned Russia to the ground. Different from the vast Moscow city we imagine today, Moscow at that time was just a small riverside town. There were no large numbers of guards guarding it, and there were not even valuable things that could be snatched. Not much.

At the end of the 15th century, Ivan III unified Russia and established a centralized state - the Russian Tsarist State, which we often call Tsarist Russia. However, in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, Tsarist Russia was still weak and did not establish a complete military system. The capital Moscow was occupied by Crimea in 1572 and was burned down again.

In the mid-16th century, Poland united with another country to form a federation. Its strength increased unprecedentedly, and the federation became the most powerful country in Europe. In the early 17th century, he led an expedition of 180,000 troops to Russia. In the Moscow War, Poland not only won a complete victory, but also captured the Russian Tsar.

During the Russo-French War of 1812, Napoleon had already captured Moscow, but the Russians set fire to Moscow before retreating, leaving the French army without any supplies and resources in Moscow. In the winter at that time, the French could not adapt to the cold in Russia. In addition, the elusive travel 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 Battle of Moscow in 1941 in the original time and space, when Bock, commander of the German Army Group Center, could already see the spire of the Kremlin in the telescope, the Soviets launched a major winter counterattack, causing the German Army Group Center to lose about 50 troops. million, breaking the myth that the German army was invincible since the outbreak of World War II on the European battlefield on September 1, 1939.

The train slowly pulled into the station, and Yannick found that the entire station seemed to be under security, and there was not a single person in sight. A whole military band was standing there, seemingly playing music as soon as they got off the bus. Next to it, there were dozens of girls standing on the platform holding bright flowers. To be able to appear on such an occasion, these girls must have extremely "innocent" families.

There was a red carpet at the door of the carriage. At the end of the carpet stood a group of officials who looked to be of high rank. Standing at the front was an impressive man who looked less than forty years old but had a lieutenant with the rank of general on his shoulders. young people.

"Ha! This formation is nothing more than His Majesty the Emperor's presence in person, right?" Rommel whispered quietly to Guderian, who was also surprised next to him.

"We have emphasized that it is an informal visit, and it is so grand. It seems that the Soviets have a lot of things to ask of us. Otherwise, with the way they treat the capitalist royal family..." Yannick sneered and warned. "Don't talk nonsense when you get down there. I'm afraid everyone down here is proficient in German."

He felt that the general who came to greet him looked familiar. After thinking for a while, he easily matched the photo he had seen in Yuan Shikong.

One of the earliest five marshals of the Soviet Union, Mikhail Nikolayevich Tukhachevsky, known as the "Napoleon of the Red Army"! !

The marshal was born in 1893 and graduated from the Alexander Military School in 1914. He participated in World War I and was appreciated by Lenin during the Soviet Russian Civil War and became one of the most capable army commanders. After the war, he vigorously promoted the modernization of the Red Army and was one of the core figures of the Soviet army. In the late World War II of the original time and space, the large-depth strategy used by the Soviet Union during its counterattack was created by Tukhachevsky.

Yannick turned his head and glanced at Guderian. In later generations, many people were discussing whether Marshal Tukhachevsky's great depth was stronger or weaker than the German General Guderian's blitzkrieg.

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

To give a simple example: In terms of reserves, blitzkrieg leaves only a small reserve team and requires quickly defeating the opponent after the start of the war.

The large depth divides the troops into two large parts, one part is used to open the gap, and the other part is used to immediately assault from the gap to the depth. From the perspective of actual combat later, after breaking through the enemy's dense anti-tank firepower position, the assault troops often lost the ability to continue the assault. At this time, only a strong reserve force could complete a deep assault. Tukhachevsky could imagine the future battlefield situation in the 1930s, but Guderian, who was on the Soviet-German front line in the 1940s, could not understand this truth, and it was clear who was strong and who was weak.

It seems that Guderian must be instilled in Guderian as early as possible the theory of large-depth strategy. Europe has no use for it. Wouldn't it be just right to use it on the Soviet Union in the future?

Guderian couldn't help but shudder. Why did the way His Royal Highness the Crown Prince look at him remind him of the way a hunter looks at a slaughtered lamb?

Yannick walked off the train with a group of people, and the military band immediately played a welcome song, while the girls presented the flowers in their hands to the guests who came from afar.

Yannick took the flowers with a smile, stepped on the red carpet, and walked forward.

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

In the great purge in the near future, this "Red Napoleon" will be sentenced to death for espionage and immediately shot! !

The crime he was charged with was having liaison with Germany!

Perhaps, somehow, this is the arrangement of fate!

Yannick really wanted to rush up and pat him on the shoulder. "Hey, buddy, in a few years, that evil Dalin will do something evil to you. After killing you, he will send your whole family to Siberia. How about coming over here as soon as possible and destroying Dalin together?"

It's a pity that if he really dared to say this, he would either be regarded as mentally ill or be beaten by some fanatical Dalin fans around him.

Walking up to him, Tukhachevsky stretched out his hand and muttered a string of Russian words. The girl standing next to him immediately translated the words into German. "Welcome to the visit of His Excellency Crown Prince Yannik of Germany. This is General Tukhachevsky. He will be fully responsible for this meeting. I am the translator for this time, Natasha."
