"Say that!" Gristorf said as he walked to the river with Qin Chuan: "We are almost certain that the head of state will order the troops to launch an attack on the Soviet Union again after the ice and snow melts next spring. He is even preparing for the attack now. However, the preparations made by the Americans and the British in Britain require us to take a defensive stance, and we should transfer the main force to northern France. How will you solve this..."

"Please, colonel!" Qin Chuan said: "I am just a lieutenant colonel, these are not something I need to think about!"

Qin Chuan was not telling the truth. He was actually thinking about similar issues all the time. He just didn't want to continue discussing with Gristorf.

"Oh, is that?" Gristoff stared at Qin Chuan with some anger and said, "So, you told me that I was wrong from beginning to end. I thought you were for the benefit of Germany, but you told me that you were just for your own life?"

"What's wrong?" Qin Chuan asked back.

"Remember the last time you took the troops deep into the enemy's defense line to capture prisoners, and then used this as evidence to convince the head of state to shrink the defense line?" Gristorf asked.

"Of course!" Qin Chuan replied.

"Have you ever thought about what would happen if you failed to convince the head of the country?"

Qin Chuan was speechless for a moment, Gristdorf was right. At this time, Hitler had too much control and interference in the army. Not only that, he also formulated wrong strategic plans again and again... This was determined by Hitler's mind that was old ideas or deeply rooted racist ideas a year ago were still in his mind.

Hitler firmly believed that Germans were naturally superior to other countries. It was a clear proof that Germany could roam across Europe with its weak equipment and few troops in the early days of World War II.

Therefore, Hitler stubbornly believed that the German army could still attack the Soviet army as easily as when the war first attacked the Soviet Union, that is, the Battle of Barbarossa, and annihilate the Soviet army with hundreds of thousands and millions.

Therefore, even if the German army was defeated in Stalingrad and the German army urgently needed to rest, Hitler would launch a Kursk attack...

Of course, all this did not happen under the influence of Qin Chuan, but Hitler's stubborn personality and wrong perceptions would not change.

He didn't consider it at all: the Soviet army had been growing and improving itself in battle, but the German army's combat effectiveness decreased in a series of ways because of the large losses of experienced and high-quality soldiers.

Therefore, the situation that occurred during the "Barbarossa" was no longer possible. The gap between the Soviet and German armies in combat effectiveness and quality had narrowed. The Kursk Battle initiated by the German army ended in failure, which became the beginning of Germany's defeat on the Eastern Front.

"The problem is that we have withdrawn!" Qin Chuan replied.

"Oh, yes!" Gristopher smiled disdainfully: "This time, you did. But what about the next time? You have been to the 'wewolves' and have had several contacts with the head of state. You should know his character. He has a mysterious greed for the enemy's land. He will only continually capture the enemy's land and then defend every place. It is a miracle that you can successfully convince him to shrink the defense line. Do you understand? Or it can be said that the head of state realizes the importance of Baku, otherwise you will not succeed!"

This is because it is true. Even if Qin Chuan puts real evidence in front of Hitler, Hitler knew that the Soviets had a counterattack plan and would surround the 6th Army in Stalingrad, he still hoped to use his existing forces to block the enemy's attack or defend against Stalingrad instead of withdrawing.

"The Head of State has lost its mind!" Gristolf said: "Everyone knows what he will do, attack, hold on, and not take a step back, and repeat these things, without considering whether we have enough troops to support such a war. We know these, and the enemy knows them. Do you think you can keep it alone? Do you think you can change all this with your wit and courage? No! The 21st armor will eventually become one of the defeated troops, and you cannot escape the fate of failure, as will the lieutenant colonel, or the 'Legendary'!"

Qin Chuan had to admit that what Gristorf said was reasonable, and there was a saying that said, "Tactical victory cannot make up for strategic mistakes."

Everything Qin Chuan did was tactical, but strategic decisions were always in Hitler's hands... No matter how hard Qin Chuan tried, as long as Hitler stubbornly made a wrong decision, all victory would be burned.

Just like before, Qin Chuan won many victories in Stalingrad, and even captured the sandbank and successfully captured Stalingrad. It changed history. However, if Hitler did not change his mind and chose to retreat, waiting for the German army would still be a great defeat.

"But what can I do?" Qin Chuan emphasized again: "I am just a lieutenant colonel!"

"You can choose your own way!" Gristorf said: "Either be loyal to the country or be loyal to the head of state!"

"The problem is that overthrowing the head of state is also not in Germany's interest!"

"Then find a feasible solution!" Gristorf said: "We can't continue like this!"

"Know where the focus of the problem is, Colonel?" Qin Chuan replied: "We cannot overthrow the head of state because it would split Germany and be slaughtered, but the head of state's wrong strategy will make the situation worse. What do you think we can do? We can only take one step!"

Gristolf thought about it and nodded in agreement: "Maybe you are right, the head of state is a contradiction. But it is precisely because of this that we need your plan..."

"I have told you that I have no plans, Colonel!" Qin Chuan replied: "Even if I have plans, what can I do? Put the plan in front of the head of state for him to approve it? Forget it!"

"We can influence him!" Gristorf replied.

"How does it affect?" Qin Chuan asked back.

"Influences from various aspects such as staff, intelligence, etc."

Gristolf did not explain in detail, but Qin Chuan understood this meaning... There were some rebel organizations in the General Staff, and even the Director of the Military Intelligence Bureau Canaris, who were among them. If they had some biased words in the intelligence or documents provided to Hitler, or even fabricated some intelligence that was not actually reconnaissed, it would be very likely to affect Hitler's decision-making.

Thinking of this, Qin Chuan couldn't help but nod.
