406 continues to make a delayed landing

While the Americans were discussing how to help Britain defeat the German invaders, the German capital, Berlin, Führer Li Le, and his men were also studying how to attack the British mainland. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

The news that Keitel had brought back from the French front was very dissatisfying to the Führer. This operational meeting was also convened because of this incident.

"My Führer, the Army was in chaos at the landing site, and the tanks did not hit the coast for two hours...... The soldiers were crowded together and were killed in batches by the British machine-gun bunkers. ”

"The paratrooper airborne is still in the simulation stage, and none of us can guarantee what the effect will be." A German army general looked at Keitel, who had sat down after speaking, and then spoke.

The whole plan for the landing exercise was very hasty, and the Führer wanted to review the landing preparations of his troops, but the situation looked very bad.

The Army's preparations were a mess, and the Navy didn't do anything too well. Most of the troops supporting the landing were S-class torpedo boats, and artillery support was almost zero.

Almost all the suppressive firepower had to be provided by the Luftwaffe, and if the weather was bad the next day, the beachhead troops would have only a pitiful few cannons to support their own troops.

It may be a bit reluctant to say that it is an offensive, and if the weather is not good, then whether the beachhead troops can hold their defensive positions has become a matter of concern.

As a time-traveler from the future, Li Le had certainly seen the power of the Airborne Forces in Normandy, and of course he knew that his German paratroopers would only perform better.

But he could not convince the other German generals to believe this theory. It's still the same old question, what he knows, people who haven't experienced it won't believe it.

Of course, there are still differences. The Führer was very proficient in naval technology, and the tactics he assigned to the Navy were very successful.

Therefore, the army also believed in the paratrooper combat plan that the Führer insisted on, and they were willing to believe that these paratroopers could bring miraculous results when attacking.

But after believing this, they found themselves still afraid to send tens of thousands of soldiers to fight on British soil - the losses of the landing must have been terrible, so heavy that they collapsed.

In the German sweep of France, the total number of troops killed may not be 100,000, and the attack on Britain will require losses of 200,000 or even more than 300,000, which no one wants to bear.

The Führer's war is getting bigger and bigger, but the army has to pay for the casualties of hundreds of thousands of soldiers, and this is not a future that senior generals want to see.

In fact, the reason why peace talks with Britain are so marketable in Germany's top brass is mostly due to the reluctance of army generals to fight a full-scale war with Britain.

In Hitler's original script, the British should have surrendered honestly and accepted a decent peace a few months before.

However, it is regrettable that the British did not surrender, but wanted to fight the Germans to the end. This ending made the German top brass feel uneasy, and the script began to evolve in a direction beyond their control.

"The fleet of the Navy is now in Brest, and it is unrealistic to count on the fleet to provide suppression of the coastline...... "The representative of the Navy, who also asked a sharp question.

There is only one fleet, and now it is still fighting in the Brest direction. If the Army landed in a few months, it would be impossible for the Navy to pass through the dangerous English Channel and rush to the landing site to help.

Without the help of the Navy, the German Army faced enemy fire and attacks alone on the landing ground, which makes people shudder to think about.

Li Le looked at his subordinates, this is still a discussion within the Supreme Command, if you count the real Army General Headquarters, as well as the relevant commanders of the navy, the opposition can only be greater.

He was not angry that his subordinates were so opposed to him, because it was with these objections that he could analyze these battlefield issues from a professional point of view.

Because he came from later generations, what he is best at is to have his own tested and correct understanding in the overall evaluation, especially in the evaluation of the battlefield combat capability of the new arms.

And his own shortcomings are also obvious, that is, he has limited ability to evaluate the overall battlefield, he lacks real military knowledge, and in some aspects he is a complete layman.

With Li Le's real military level, it is estimated that he is a little reluctant to lead a battalion of soldiers in the Wehrmacht -- he is similar to Hitler in this respect, and he belongs to the kind of decision-makers with low eyes.

Because of this, Li Le likes to listen to opinions, and after adding his own understanding, he uses the vision of later generations to mend on the basis of the summary of his subordinates and get a closer answer.

The successes and cognitions from later generations can only be used as a conservative estimate of the current German generals, which is Li Le's positioning of his golden finger.

Before Li Le could speak, the Imperial Marshal Goering on the side spoke—when it came to the plan to land in Britain, I am afraid that he was the only German general in the best mood.

The Luftwaffe had recently annihilated a large number of British air force forces as a result of the British counterattack on Brest.

On the basis of this incident, the Luftwaffe has recently made frequent incursions into British airspace, and has achieved quite astonishing results.

Unlike in the past, because air raids on the interior of the British mainland were gradually canceled, Germany launched a large number of dive bombers to attack the British coastline.

Once again, Stuka became the protagonist of the war, and under the cover of fighter jets, the dive bombing of the British coastline achieved very obvious results.

Some of the same construction sites were found and destroyed. The Luftwaffe was left uninhabited and destroyed many of the British coastal fortifications.

In the past, German planes bombed various factories and transport nodes in the British interior. Therefore, British anti-aircraft guns were also deployed in London and other cities as much as possible, as well as near related factories.

But this time, Germany was unusual, and the planes only attacked near the coastline, which caught Britain off guard, and there was no time to deploy anti-aircraft weapons.

The bombing of the British coastline also plunged the British top brass into a panic. The news that the Germans could land at any moment made the entire British coastal defense force nervous.

"My Führer! The Air Force has already achieved superior air supremacy at the landing site! As long as the weather permits, we can cover the landing and expel the enemy planes and ships. Goering's voice was proud, and Li Le could hear it.

Of course, in this proud voice, there is another word that Li Le has to pay attention to - as long as the weather conditions allow!

Yes, as long as the weather conditions allowed, the Luftwaffe was able to make sorties. But if the weather conditions do not allow it, then the air force can only watch its friendly troops slaughtered on the beach on French airfields.

"Now it seems that the Sea Lion plan is still going to be postponed, and the original plan to attack in January is still too hasty." Li Le thought about it and said what he thought.

He is not Hitler, and he is far from the solipsistic state of mind of Hitler in history. Li Le felt that he should listen to the opinions of others, which was another advantage he had over Hitler.

It is true that in history, Hitler was a man of his word in Germany, and few people dared to disobey him. But this fostered Hitler's own dictatorship, turning state decision-making into his own dictatorship.

Sometimes it represents efficiency, but sometimes it represents error! A faster option to go down a path of no return can only take the country further and further in the direction of defeat.

On the other hand, it seems that the Führer is a decisive word, but his subordinates are playing tricks that are contrary to the yang and the yin.

From time to time, when the Army deals with the Führer's decision-making, it has to make some discounts. Then he didn't dare to tell the truth, and finally solved the problem by deception.

That is why, in 1945, the Führer was still looking at the map and fantasizing that his troops could hold their positions and counterattack.

Those troops are no longer there, but they are still marked on the map - such a war Hitler can only make the right decisions, then there are real ghosts.

It was precisely because he was afraid that his orders would eventually be disobeyed, and Li Le now tried not to use the authority of the Führer, but tried his best to persuade the front-line generals to obey his command.

On the verge of it, it looks a little weak, not as majestic as Hitler was back then, but the benefits are not without it. Under the trust of the heart, the army will deceive and conceal the good and the bad will be less and less, so that it will be convenient for Li Le to control the real situation and make a correct judgment.

You must know that Li Le's biggest golden finger now is to use the experience and strategic vision of later generations to analyze the battlefield situation. If the data in his hand is inaccurate and causes his misjudgment, then this golden finger is equivalent to being wiped out.

After thinking about it, Li Le decided that it was the most appropriate choice to restrain some arrogance, try to have a good relationship with the army, and carry out his own orders.

"The army has already complained about the exercises in the ice water, and it is a little difficult for them to really fight in the ice water." Thinking of this, Li Le said understandingly.

"Yes, sir! If it is possible, next March, the army will definitely be ready. Keitel saw that the Führer had compromised, and hurriedly opened his mouth to find a step for the Führer.

As Field Marshal within the Supreme Command, Keitel certainly understood the Führer's strategic intentions. The limit of the Army's procrastination he can tolerate is in March next year.

After this time, if the army can't launch an attack, then there is no need for the head of the state to rush, and he, the marshal, will also find the Junker nobles of the army to ask for an explanation.
