Imperial Overlord

In the headquarters of Germany's Eastern Front operations, in the famous Wolf's Den, in an independent office, a man in an SS uniform stood with his hands behind his back, standing in front of more than a dozen workstations.

In front of him, the people sitting behind the desk at the work station are all carefully calculating with their heads lowered. These people are not combatants, but they do more important jobs than ordinary combatants.

"Sir! This is the cloud thickness report just sent by the Air Force. The situation is not optimistic..." A staff member walked into the room and handed the officer a report.

"The air force's weather forecast is very pessimistic. There will be precipitation tomorrow. It may last for two days, or it may be one day." The officer said while handing out the report.

"Okay, I see!" The chief officer nodded, then took the report from the Air Force and said nothing else.

The other party also knew that he was waiting for the final result, so he could only leave angrily. After all, what he brought was not good news.

A scholar on the table stood up and took off the glasses on the bridge of his nose. He walked up to the officer and shook his head slightly.

The officer took out the calculation result from his hand, and it said that the probability of rain tomorrow is probably more than 70%.

This probability, analyzed from a scientific point of view, is almost equivalent to saying that there must be precipitation tomorrow.

For ground troops, precipitation means mud, which means difficulty. It means that their attack must be stopped, and the enemy has time to breathe.

And for the Luftwaffe, it was deadly. They would not be able to take off, fight the enemy, and destroy exposed ground targets.

"The cloud layer is very thick, which is different from the previous sporadic local precipitation. This rain may last for about 3 days." The answer given by the scholar at the ground observation station is more pessimistic, he believes that it will not be in three days. What a decent weather.

"Not only the precipitation, but also the clouds will block the line of sight and affect the take-off and landing of the aircraft." Finally, the scholar added this sentence.

The other person had already sorted out the information at this time, stood up, and gave the results of his work.

He handed a form to the officer and said, "I have counted the precipitation near Moscow in the Soviet Union in the past ten years."

While pointing to several data on his own form, he said, "Although the probability of precipitation is not high, it is still possible for continuous rainy weather to occur."

"Finally, is it still going to rainy weather?" With a helpless sigh, the SS officer stuffed the documents in his hand into the file bag, then turned around and walked out of the room.

He walked through the long underground corridor until he walked outside the gate. He raised his head and glanced at the mottled eyes shining through the dense woods.

The officer then stepped forward, past a fence separated by barbed wire, and approached the checkpoint.

After passing the inspection, he picked up the document bag, walked through the courtyard protected by layers of SS, and walked to the door of the building where the Führer was resting.

After passing another inspection, he took his document bag, walked to the door of the head of state, and knocked on the heavy door.

"Come in!" Bowman's voice came from inside the room. The officer who heard the order pushed open the door and walked among the generals who were in a meeting.

Li Le was discussing the encirclement of Moscow with Brauchitch, and he insisted that Army Group North be in place as soon as possible, at all costs.

Brauchitch worried that logistical problems would overwhelm the German army fighting on the front line, after all, the German army consumed more fuel and ammunition than historically.

The two of them are exchanging opinions with each other. It seems that the opinion of the Fuhrer has won the support of most of the officers. Everyone believes that overcoming the difficulties and encircling Moscow will end the Battle of Moscow as soon as possible.

Once the annoying Battle of Moscow is over, millions of German troops will be able to move south to attack Ukraine, and the situation will become more favorable for the German army.

At least the German intelligence services and some Soviet prisoners believed that as long as they entered Ukraine, the German troops would be welcomed there, and there would not be much resistance at all.

"Victory! Führer!" Standing not far from the two, the officer who was ordered to come over to report the result immediately raised his arm and gave a German salute.

"The result is out?" Li Le didn't return the gift, because the other party's level was not high, and more importantly, he didn't have a proper return etiquette on this occasion.

Could it be that, as the head of the empire, he would stand up, wave his arms at the other party, and shout "Long live the empire!"?

"In the next two days, there may be no good weather. The Air Force is hurrying to attack and strive to complete the blocking mission ahead of schedule. The conclusion given by the meteorological department is more pessimistic, and it may not be for up to four days. The weather is good." The officer said helplessly.

"How's the army's preparations going? After all, there was no air support for two consecutive days. The enemy might have to fight back." Li Le asked Brauchitch.

In real historical time and space, the German army once fought back against the Allies on a large scale in rainy and snowy weather. I have walked this way myself, and I am naturally very familiar with it.

Brauchitch immediately replied: "Three days ago, after the weather forecast unit sent the news that there might be bad weather~www.wuxiaspot.com~ we are preparing."

"The roads are being reinforced to avoid muddy conditions; the defenses at the front are also being strengthened, hoping that there will be no problems." The field marshal explained in detail the specific deployment of the response.

"The number of tents is being counted repeatedly, and there shouldn't be any major problems." He concluded his speech confidently.

The head of state looked at him and continued worriedly: "I am very worried that the Soviet army will use such weather to counterattack. This is the best chance for them to counterattack after losing air supremacy."

"If they launch a counterattack, will our reserves be sufficient? Will the Guderian troops in particular suffer any losses?" Li Le finally asked.

He didn't want his elite armored troops to be weakened by the enemy, and he didn't want to have any fatal problems at the door of victory.

So he gave instructions and ordered the reserves to move forward to avoid being caught off guard by the enemy: "Let the newly formed two SS divisions move closer to the G group and assist Guderian's troops in defending their lines of defense. !"
