This time, the French went on the road, and when two Italian freighters arrived at the port of Toulon with crude oil compensated for the French, the position of the French navy was loosened along with the favor. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

You see, human beings are so shameless and skinless: you can't make him be in awe when you hurt him, you can't make him submit to exploiting him, but as long as you get a share of the benefits, there will be many people who are willing to stand up and betray their country.

Of course, even if there are only a few people who think about interests, the Vichy French regime has to think about how to live its own life.

France's overseas colonies now remained more or less neutral in good faith, or surrendered outright to the British.

In this one-sided situation, the domestic economy of France is naturally not much better.

What's more, France also had to compensate Germany for a huge amount of war reparations and pay for the German troops stationed in France.

In the face of internal and external troubles, the situation of the Vichy French government was not very good, although the arrival of Li Le made a great improvement in the situation.

First of all, Li Le improved relations with Vichy France and assigned small-caliber howitzers to France to be responsible for production.

The payment could be offset in kind by the use of goods, and Li Le offered a very favorable purchase price - which suddenly eased the pressure on the French government.

And this time, giving priority to France's oil dividends was also a bold diplomatic attempt by the Axis powers.

Although there was not much oil in hand, this was the first time that the Vichy French government had gained additional benefits after following the Axis powers.

It was this benefit, and a pioneering way, that allowed the French Vichy government to finally break their idea of not getting involved in the war as much as possible.

Although the French were still cautious, they simply sent out their fleet to ensure the safety of French transports on the route between Tunisia and Toulon.

However, you must know that this transport line, which belongs to France, is ahead of the route between Libya and Italy, and is closer to the British H Fleet in Gibraltar.

Once the British fleet entered the Mediterranean and tried to cut off the sea routes of the Axis powers, the first thing it had to face was this route of the French.

Thankfully, however, the H Fleet had just lost the battleship Resolve and would not go on a safari in the Mediterranean for a while, and Malta was now German, with 20,000 Italian men stationed on it, as well as more than 60 German aircraft.

At the very least, Li Le was happy to wait for the goodwill of the French, and the French fleet had already made its attitude clear, at least providing peripheral vigilance and protection for the Axis routes.

"The Air Force is having a good time in Malta these days, right?" Li Le has become accustomed to his empty office these days.

This huge room allowed Li Le to gradually discover the advantages: the lighting was good and he could "walk" in the office.

Now, in this huge office, Goering sits on the sofa with a smug face, playing with a diamond from Italy.

Germany is now far from running out of oil, so Goering is not in a state of passive confrontation.

Now he is attacking from all sides, and has just won the battle of Malta, and he is naturally proud.

His paratroopers were as strong as ever in Malta, and the oil benefits also allowed Goering to personally receive a state-provided dividend.

Petroleum resources are national strategic resources, and naturally Göring, the Führer and others cannot be allowed to deal with them privately.

Under this premise, the state will buy the oil in the hands of Li Le, Goering, Himmlehs and others at the purchase price, and provide money and other wealth on a regular basis like dividends.

This time, at Goering's own request, the huge diamond was used to pay the oil dividends. Goering loves luxury, so he has been carrying it around these days.

"Of course, my Führer, we dropped numerous bombs on Malta, destroying the British defenders." When Goering mentions Malta, he is indescribably proud.

With this important island in the Mediterranean in his hands, his oil industry gained basic security. If it's not worth his pride, then nothing is worth it.

As he answered, he laughed: "The losses of our troops were very light, only a few planes were shot down, and the losses of less than 2000 people were lost. ”

Li Le also heard about the victory in Malta, and it was not so much that the German paratroopers were brilliant and the Italian landing force was very courageous, but that it was more appropriate to say that the British themselves abandoned Malta.

As a time-traveler from the 21st century, Li Le knew the remaining strength of Britain well, and the Battle of Malta The British really did not have much strength to compete with the Germans.

It's one thing to have an early advantage, it's another thing to actually get a victory, and the victory in Malta is also a huge inspiration to Li Le, this is the first battle he has planned since he crossed over.

"Can the Air Force bombs consumed on Malta be replenished in a short period of time?" Rather than rest on his laurels in Malta, Li Le set his sights on the British Isles.

Goering had also been preparing for the Battle of Britain, and although some of his air force had been transferred to Italy, most of these forces had begun to concentrate in northern France since yesterday.

For the world's largest air invasion operation, Germany prepared a force greater than ever before.

It includes 1,500 bombers of various types, as well as 350 Stukka, plus 700 ME-109E, 270 FW-190 fighters, and 150 ME-110 twin-engine heavy fighters.

Thanks to the good news of the oil discovery in Libya, there were hundreds more German fighters than Britain in the same period in history.

A large part of these extra aircraft came from all over the world, with only the FW-190 fighter coming from increased production.

Assembling such a powerful air force, Li Le's purpose was to destroy the British air defense system as much as possible while he still knew the opponent.

Li Le did not intend to waste his advantage of knowing the enemy's military deployment with petty fights, he wanted to use a few days to completely destroy the air defense network in the south of Britain and force Dowding to move the reserves in the north south.

As long as these British air forces are annihilated, then he will be able to gain air supremacy over Britain, and there will be no need to waste precious V2 missiles to engage in expensive siege battles.

Only the number of ME-110 fighters was weakened compared to the German aircraft of the same period, since a large number of ME-110 fighters were being converted into night fighters.

"My Führer, you have nearly 3,000 fighters assembled in northern France and Norway, these troops are elite with actual combat experience, and there is no force in the world that can compete with such a powerful group." Goering, on the other hand, was confident in his troops.

In fact, the same is true of him in history, and even with the addition of radar and other important factors to the bombing of the British, the Germans are still on a par with the British Air Force.

The elite German pilots even gained some advantage in some areas for a time, until the Führer ordered retaliatory bombing of London.

"Because the bomb factory has a new wartime work system, it produces enough ammunition for us to consume." After a pause, Goering answered Le's concerns about ammunition.

Incidentally, he added a question about oil supplies: "In addition, because of the future replenishment of Libyan oil fields, the strategic materials department has agreed to move 10 percent of the oil reserves to strengthen the fuel ration of the air force." ”

Now Goering has more power at his disposal than he did at the same time in history.

Because in another time and space, in 1940, he did not have the support of the Libyan oil fields, so he could deploy additional aircraft to carry out missions at will.

"Let the pilots hurry up and train and identify all the aviation targets, as soon as possible!" Li Le said nervously to Goering.

This is the second time he has stressed that the troops must destroy the targets in the first wave, because if the British change the positions of these bases and radar stations, then his "invisible intelligence service" will no longer work.

Therefore, only with all their might, the destruction of radar stations and airfields, as well as those camouflaged fighter production workshops, can the goal of suppressing the British Air Force in a short period of time be achieved.

"I see, Führer! I have already emphasized discipline, and when the reconnaissance unit confirms those targets you have designated, we will distribute the photos and let the attack aircraft group assign the targets. Goering solemnly replied to Li Le's words.

He had already believed the information in the Führer's hand, and for the sake of oil and money, of course he would not doubt Li Le's statement.

Therefore, compared with the doubts at the time, the current Goering chooses to believe in Li Le, and believes that the targets that Li Le has determined are indeed very important.

"Continue to accumulate strength and strive to officially start the attack plan codenamed Blizzard on August 1st!" Li Le set the time for a new air battle in Britain, and in fact the real battle began on July 10.

However, during this time, because the Luftwaffe was mainly focused on Malta, the British airspace was only a small fight.

"Believe me, my Führer! On the day of August 1st, the Air Force will give our British opponents an unforgettable surprise! Goering said to Li Le.

The German top brass has tentatively set the plan for a large-scale sneak attack on Britain on August 1, because Li Le, who knows the weather, knows that the weather over Britain has been good for a short period of time and can last until mid-August.

The British were also waiting, waiting for the arrival of the Luftwaffe, the commander of the British Air Force, Dowding, who was experienced and definitely a difficult opponent.

If it weren't for Li Le's grasp of the invisible advantage, it would be really difficult for the Germans to win this war, or to put it another way: Germany, which has already distorted the technology tree, has now lost the Battle of Britain!
