Preparing the Navy for sailing is not a simple matter. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info There are too many things that need to be Zhang Luo in the middle, so many that it makes people dizzy.

For example, the repair of the battleship Bismarck was a big project in the port of Brest. It takes time to dispatch crews, fix the equipment, and repair the damaged crane.

Then there was the ammunition for the battleships - this brilliant hunt, including against the two battlecruisers of the British Navy, consumed a lot of shells.

The shells and charges used in the 381 mm and 280 mm cannons are not trivial, at least there are no reserves in the port of Brest.

Therefore, the German Navy needed to use transport forces to transport these large-caliber shells to the port, which also took time.

As for why these shells were not transported in advance, partly because of the secrecy of the battle plan, and partly because the port was not ready for acceptance.

After all, the German occupation of France had only been five months, and the planned use of the port of Brest was only about four months.

It would take a lot of time to renovate the port and complete the armament, not to mention the preparation of anchorages for two battleships, Bismarck and Tirpitz, and an aircraft carrier.

In addition, in order to keep it secret and confuse the British Navy, neither Li Le nor Raeder were in a hurry to send large-caliber shells to Brest, and France had a large number of British spies, and many of them were new spies that Li Le could not eradicate.

Raeder also had to prepare enough fuel for the entire fleet of the German Navy, which was also a big problem.

Because the mechanization of the German Army has almost doubled compared to the same moment in history, the consumption of the then has also doubled.

Fuel shortages have begun to plague the economy, and while Libya's oil fields are beginning to feed back to the country, the effect is not obvious.

The Air Force and the Army are already trying their best to expand the fuel resources under their control, and the fuel reserves of the Navy have become the focus of the two of them.

Of course, after the Navy threw off the British fleet and completely annihilated the British TC transport fleet, there was no market for the call to divide the German Navy's fuel reserves.

Now that the German Navy has returned triumphantly, it is even more impossible to move the Navy's fuel at this time.

On the contrary, by this time Goering and Brauchitsch were silent, and they even hoped that the Führer would not think of them on a whim......

After all, at the glorious moment of the Navy's victory, it is possible for the Führer to allocate a large amount of fuel to the Navy as soon as he is happy.

It's not like Hitler didn't do this kind of thing, interfering in the development of the navy, and even forcibly stopping the production of certain weapons, and developing tanks on a whim, all of which are precedent......

This ability of the Führer can often lead Germany in the world at the right time, and it becomes the choice to kill his teammates when he is wrong.

At the end of World War II, because of the continuous deterioration of the war situation, coupled with the malicious guidance and deception of some subordinates, the Führer finally became a fool who took the lead in taking detours.

The most direct example is the rejection of the STG-44 assault rifle project, and the fantasy of hitting enemy tanks with railway guns......

However, because he had already incarnated into a cross-section, the Führer would not have followed the old path of history now--Li Le knew the development of weapons in the next 70 years, and it was impossible for him to make any mistakes.

He not only knew the power of German weapons, but also knew the classic ideas of the opponent's weapons, and even what others did not dare to think of, he had a sound theoretical foundation.

For example, even the most cutting-edge aircraft designers nowadays, who would dare to think of something as defiant as a stealth drone?

Of course, it is one thing to know the principle and know the idea, and whether it can be made with the current level of science and technology is another.

Instead of dwelling on the weapons that crushed the enemy, what Li Le had to do now was to get enough weapons to the German soldiers on the front line as soon as possible.

In the history of World War II, behind Germany's crusade and westernity was the extreme lack of resources and weapons.

The deepest shock to Li Le was the sentence shouted by American paratroopers to the German soldiers walking in a neat line in the classic World War II TV series Brothers of Brothers: "Say hello to Ford and General Motors, and look at you!" You only have horses! ”

Is it ironic? The countries that were the first to develop mechanized advancement and the first to advocate rapid offensive did not really mechanize their troops until they were defeated.

The German units on the front line relied on horses for most of their lives, while the Panzer units were never fully equipped from the start of the battle to the time of defeat......

How sad is this? If the German soldiers were given enough tanks and enough gasoline, would they really lose under the city of Moscow? Will it really be hated on the vast Russian plain?

Li Le did not want to crush his opponents, he just tried to let Germany use its limited strategic resources to the most useful places as much as possible.

Provide the troops on the front line with enough equipment to use the same number of weapons to fight the enemy.

He just wanted his generals not to be pinned down by ten times the number of troops, and no matter how beautiful the encirclement and annihilation battle was, they would continue to face ten times the enemy's strength.

"If you can, let the Vichy government of France make it easier for us." Li Le said to Raeder: "You will visit France on my behalf, and at this time they should also understand that cooperation is the most beneficial attitude for France." ”

Raeder nodded, at this time, he went to France with a big victory, which can make the wallgrass think carefully about how to face the outcome of Germany really winning the war.

Although the French did not want to see Germany unify Europe, the Vichy government was in a worse position than the British.

If Britain had not surrendered, at least it had not been occupied by Germany, and France had now become a puppet regime, how could it completely ignore the attitude of the German master?

Millions of young French were still in German prisoner-of-war camps, and although Germany had planned to release some of them, they were still a small minority.

"My Führer! I understand that if France could open a port for us to transport petroleum products there, it would save a lot of time. Reddell replied understandingly.

If the oil from Libya were to Italy, then back to Germany, and finally to Brest, it would have to go around in a huge circle.

It was a waste of time - the easiest way to do this was to disembark at Toulon or some other port in France and transport it directly through France to Brest.

As long as France did not get in the way, the line could provide a steady supply of fuel for the German navy. And even in the coming months, it will be possible to replenish the consumption of German submarines.

There is no need to transport oil resources from the mainland to the French occupation zone, which relieves huge pressure on the local oil reserves, and also saves transportation costs in disguise.

"If only you understood! Remember, don't just coerce, but find ways to lure. Li Le instructed Raeder: "They are our allies, and they will also be potential helpers in the future!" ”

"Besides." Li Le paused when he said this, looked at Raeder and said with a smile: "We have sunk so many British battleships, which can be regarded as revenge for France, right?" ”

……

"Of course!" A few minutes later, German Propaganda Minister Goebbels, who had rushed to congratulate the Führer, clapped his hands excitedly and exclaimed: "The Führer is really a natural propagandist!" ”

He smiled excitedly and nodded his head, "That's right! I immediately forced all the newspapers and radio stations of the French government to come out and preach this victory. ”

Being able to advertise a victory that belonged to the German Navy was good news in itself. The German newspapers and radio stations were ready to give the order and they could go at full speed to sing the praises of this great naval battle.

While singing the praises of this victory in the German naval battle, it was also able to drive a wedge between France and England, and plant a seed of hatred on both sides, which was definitely something Goebbels dreamed of.

"Don't be in a hurry to rejoice, because there's another piece of news for you." Li Le saw Goebbels dancing with his hands, smiled and handed the other party a document he had just received.

"You mean...... Our submarine sank another aircraft carrier of the opposing side and sank a wounded capital ship? Goebbels asked excitedly after reading what the message said.

"Yes, and ...... The submarine that sank these two battleships was U-47. Li Le threw out another big news.

"This ...... This...... This is amazing news! Goebbels' surprised face stammered.

This U-47 submarine is all too familiar to him, from the time of the war in 39, when he sank the Royal Oak in Scapa Flow, to sinking another capital ship today, this is absolutely, definitely big news!

"Let Prinn get back, I'm going to give him a knight's Iron Cross with oak leaves to reward the greatest German submarine commander......" Li Le pretended to be unwilling and said with a smile.

Goebbels laughed along with it, half-jokingly suggested: "My Führer, if you want sensational effects, then you can't be stingy. Just give an oak leaf, which seems a little too cautious. ”

When Li Le heard Goebbels's advice, he was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "You're right! I'll give him the Iron Cross of the Sword and Oak Leaves! Set this great example! ”

"The British were so unlucky this time...... Your decision-making, Führer, is truly amazing. Goebbels heard that the Führer had accepted his proposal, and the expression on his face was that of a flattered, moneyless sycophant who sent a whole truckload.
