Chapter 567: Operation Generator (Add. 2)
From a politician's point of view, when DuPont acquired a stake in a French chemical plant, its nature changed, and DuPont became an aggressor.
However, from the perspective of capitalists, since there are interests, then they can start, every capitalist is black-hearted, and in their eyes, there are only interests.
Now, they should applaud the occupation of France, and they will be able to profit from it!
The basic agreement was reached, and the dinner lasted more than two hours before it was all over, and Ciric saw off the American guests.
Most of this gold obtained from France is sent to the United States.
After all, the United States has what Ciric needs.
Finished products and related production technologies of high-grade gasoline and kerosene, especially high-standard aviation gasoline; Antifreeze; Non-ferrous metals and rare metals, such as refined molybdenum, tungsten, rubber, grain, and some industrial products.
Ciric needs the United States, this industrial power, to provide their industry to Germany, so that Germany can complete the war in Europe as soon as possible.
In this way, the capitalists in the United States, having earned enough money, will only look at Europe coldly and will not meddle in specific affairs, and as long as the United States does not interfere, the demise of Britain is also inevitable!
Now, there are many American companies that are strongly supporting Germany, and Germany has taken advantage of this war.
When Germany completed the war against the USSR, the next one, it will be the turn of the United States, and now the gold will flow to the United States, and when the time comes, the United States will have to spit it out!
Ciric's hospitality will make the American capitalists feel the friendliness of Germany, what tricks can that lame Roosevelt play to help Britain?
Churchill, who is lame in the middle leg, obediently meet the end of England!
"Ahh Far away in London, in the Prime Minister's House, Churchill involuntarily sneezed.
When he was appointed as Prime Minister of Great Britain, Churchill did not sleep for a day, and in front of him was a rotten situation.
At the time of appeasement, everyone shouted long live peace, and only Churchill recognized the ambitions of the Germans, but now it is useless to say anything and want to listen to me at the beginning. Prophets are often burned to death tied to a wooden rack.
The situation has become eroded.
"The most important thing for us now is to withdraw our troops." Churchill said: "As long as our expeditionary force is withdrawn to Great Britain, we have hope." ”
In later generations, why was Britain able to counterattack? It had a lot to do with the great retreat from Dunkirk, which preserved a large number of living forces, and a few years later, their retreating army landed on the European continent from Normandy again.
If these troops were lost, Britain would be devastated.
But how to evacuate? Rommel's Panzer Division has moved to Dunkirk and blocked the way for his retreat!
"We can't rely on the French anymore, the French don't have any fighting spirit right now, we have to rely on our own strength." Taking a puff on his cigar, Churchill said: "If we want to withdraw our troops, we can only entangle the German 7th Panzer Division!" Only by breaking through the blockade of the opposing 7th Panzer Division will we be able to save them. ”
Flicking the ashes, Churchill continued: "Let the French do this task, and now, I order, Operation Generator, begin at once!" ”
In fact, long before Churchill went to Paris, this action had already been determined by Churchill, and now, there is no time to hesitate, it must be started immediately!
It was a plan of action to save his own army, commanded by Vice Admiral Bertram Ram, commander of the port of Dover, and planned to evacuate 10,000 men a day from the three ports of Calais, Buren and Dunkirk on the French coast.
And now, this plan, slightly improved.
Tell the French troops traveling with you that your rescue location is Dunkirk, and you will concentrate all your naval forces to try to open a gap from Dunkirk. In this way, the French army will surely rush to Dunkirk in a frenzy.
When the French army entangled the German panzer division from Dunkirk, their own troops would bypass Dunkirk and retreat to the ports of Calais and Buren to the west!
All three ports have been occupied by German troops, but Dunkirk is an armored division, while Calais and Buren have only infantry, and Calais and Buren have more hope in comparison.
In later history, the great retreat from Dunkirk was quite famous, but now, since Rommel's armored division has reached Dunkirk, how can the British army go up to die on its own?
In order to withdraw from the British Expeditionary Force, now it can only be a pit for the French allies, there is no way, the current French high-level is already about to surrender, in this case, what are they left for?
Britain's precious army must be preserved!
"However, we are now seriously understocked with ships." Ramsay said.
"Mobilize all the ships we can." Churchill said: "All kinds of civilian vessels, even a small fishing boat, must contribute to saving our fighters!" ”
Mobilizing civilian ships is the only way to evacuate as many people as possible in the shortest possible time.
"But we don't have enough funding right now." Ramsey continued.
If you want to mobilize civilian ships, you need money, and right now, the British finances are tight.
"I'm going to give a national speech a little later, and our people will respond to the government's call." Churchill said.
Without funds, it is possible to get the people to move, you know, those who remain on the European continent now are the sons of the British people!
Churchill was to make a speech calling on the people to take the action on their own, and Ramsay had no need to worry about it, he continued: "If we want to be able to safely withdraw our troops, we need adequate air cover. ”
The German air force is quite brave, especially when attacking warships, and it is a good hand, and now, if you want to withdraw, you need air cover!
Hearing his words, Admiral Hugh Dowding, commander of the British Air Force Fighter Command, shook his head on the side: "Our current air force is also very tight, and we simply cannot divide enough fighters to go to the Dunkirk area. ”
Admiral Dowding, the backbone of the British Air Force, later in World War II, he commanded the Battle of Britain and crushed the German plot to invade Britain.
It's a pity that he doesn't know how to behave, or rather, he doesn't handle things tactfully, and often argues with his superiors, which is destined to be liked in the middle of his army.
For example, the most important thing Churchill needs now is to fully protect the air supremacy in the retreating area, even if the British fighter unit is disabled, he must resolutely complete the mission.
However, Dowding is not that kind of character.
For Dowding, since he is in his post, he has to serve his post and consider the problem from his point of view.
His fighter unit is to protect the airspace of the homeland, and the fighters of the Luftwaffe are quite strong and can pose a serious threat to them at any time, in this case, their troops must first protect the homeland, and then go to Dunkirk.
From his point of view, there was nothing wrong, but his statement was enough to displease Churchill.
"Dowding, now, as the prime minister, I order you to send all your main fighters to the other side of the strait to cover our generator operations!"
