Gladiatorial fights

"It's not easy to get the British to be arrogant!" Harry Hopkins laughed at Roosevelt. ＂＂，

Since the death of Roosevelt's thinker Louise Howe, Harry Hopkins has become Roosevelt's new thinker as both a special assistant to the president in the White House and a close and good friend of Roosevelt. He was behind many of the decisions made by Roosevelt.

Churchill's request for help was also known to him for the first time.

"It would be terrible for the British to have the stubborn Churchill say that he needed help!" Roosevelt frowned.

The struggle for world supremacy by the United States requires the decline of Britain, but it does not need the destruction of Britain.

Since ancient times, Britain has been a bystander to the islands, balancing the hegemons of the European continent. The presence of the British meant a counterbalance to the European continent. Especially when Europe is rising to another rival, the Germans, and the United States needs the British to be the first line of defense.

Although the United States has always been able to support the British, it will never sit idly by and watch Britain fall to Germany in this way.

Without the springboard of Britain, it will be several times more difficult for the United States to attack in Europe in the future.

"It's time to come, and it's time for our boys to go through the baptism of war!" Roosevelt let out a long sigh of relief.

"There's a lot of pressure on the Asian side too, and if there's a big move in Europe, the Asian side needs to do something too!" Hopkins shrugged his shoulders and said, "We're going to have a lot of trouble in the future!" ”

The Americans have been slow to send troops to Europe on a large scale, partly because the time is not ripe, and partly because competitors are taking advantage of it. The Americans' excuse for finding the Germans was so lame that if it hadn't been for so long of propaganda and agitation, I am afraid that they would not have been able to suppress the many mixed opinions in the country.

Now that the two sides have reached a certain degree of reconciliation, in the next step, they will fight a two-headed battle, and the problems of Europe and Asia will be resolved together.

After more than half a year of preparation, the American war machine has been launched at a high speed, and once the world's largest industrial machine in this time and space is running at full speed, the potential for explosion will be amazing.

Hopkins is also confident that many of the problems will be treated as just trouble. It's a pity that he doesn't know that a change in time and space will make many small troubles become big troubles. ＂＂

Lao Xi's sea lion plan this time, with Meng Xiang's strong support, has become more practical from a fantasy plan.

An eagle in the sky over London is folding its wings.

The British dispatched more than 1,500 planes, even the gliders of the cadets and antique planes of the First World War were activated, the British had a huge pilot base, plus Belgium, France and other countries and even American volunteers to join, there has been no shortage of pilots, but the local fighters are constantly consumed in the entanglement with the Germans, far exceeding the largest number of British aircraft produced by the bombed factories.

If it weren't for the support of aircraft deals from the United States and Umbrella companies, I'm afraid their skies would have been lost long ago.

Now even the three hundred reserve fighters that the British have been mothballing have been dispatched. The Germans are landing, and this is already a critical moment.

But these three hundred Hurricanes and Spitfires were soon entangled by more German fighters in the air.

More German planes were like patches of dark clouds, constantly flying, as if there was no end to it.

"I need to make sure, did the Germans transfer all the planes on the Eastern Front here?" Edward Beer, commander of the air defense command, scolded.

"According to the information from the Soviet and Russian sides, they have seen the warplanes densely packed at various airports, and it has been confirmed that they are not models, and there is no sign of being deployed." British intelligence once again confirmed that this was still the case.

"No, where did the Germans have so many planes and so many pilots?" He clutched a cigar and frowned bitterly.

The increasing number of planes in the sky made him feel abnormal. The attack on the 21st was a little worse, and there were more temptations on both sides, but on the 22nd, the German fighters swooped down like locusts.

The Anglo-German air war in Britain had been going on for two years, and they knew each other well. For so long, the skies over the English Channel have almost become a battlefield for both sides to hone their rookies.

It has been a long time since I heard about the birth of a new ace on the Western Front, and the most brilliant new stars of the Luftwaffe have also appeared on the Eastern Front.

There, the rookies of the Soviet Russian Air Force were beaten down like dumplings, and new trump cards were achieved. The most glorious record has surpassed the first war, and it has reached more than 100 aircraft.

"I thought the news was far away from Great Britain, but now the warplanes in the air are also falling like the fruit of an apple tree swept by hail. I'm afraid that this battle will give birth to more trump cards, right? Edward Beale was distracted, and then he thought of something and shouted to his subordinates: "Go and check their pilots, there are many more veterans in the sky." North Africa is also fighting in the air, only the Eastern Front has been somewhat quiet for a while! ”

He guessed correctly, this time the Germans' Sea Lion plan can be described as going all out. In order to ensure the success of the Sea Lion Project, Lao Xi specially transferred many elite troops from the Eastern Front, including many air force aces.

In order to enhance concealment, not a single aircraft on the Eastern Front was deployed. Because in addition to trading them three hundred Hellcats, the copycat company also traded seven hundred other fighters with them in one go.

these

The latest fighters, such as the G of the F-109 and the A-5 of the FW-190, became the new mounts of those German aces.

Although these two fighters are not as good as Hellcat, they are also at the forefront of the times, and in terms of operating habits, they are more suitable than Hellcats, so that these German elites are like tigers, and they beat the British knights in the air everywhere.

Even if the British anti-aircraft artillery was fired together, it could not prevent the Germans from slowly taking the charge into their hands.

With air supremacy, the battle at sea and on the ground naturally began to tilt.

On the 21st, the battlefield was still concentrated in the air and sea, and even if there were land battles, they were only sporadic and small-scale. But by the 22nd, there were already brigades of German troops that began to land on the British Isles.

Although the stubborn resistance of the British had inflicted heavy losses on the Germans, the piles of corpses on the beachhead had paved the way to the land of Great Britain.

In the early morning of the 22nd, the Germans had already entered Hastings, which was on the verge of the Strait of Dover, and engaged in fierce street battles with the British.

The former smuggling center, where the Battle of Hastings between the King and the Duke took place, became the focus of contention between the two sides, and the armies of both sides continued to pour in like a grinding disc of human flesh.

The three German-class superships had already gained the record of 2 old battleships and 3 cruisers on the 22nd, and there was no rival in the four rounds, but the naval guns bombarded the various fortresses and fortresses along the coast, supporting the German landing force that was gathering more and more like ants.

The naval battle in the English Channel also entered a fever pitch on the 22nd.

Although on the 21st, the British Navy suffered heavy losses after the attack, on the 22nd, more British ships came to support from other places.

The British had already seen the danger, especially in the middle. If the nearest channel had been held by the Germans, I am afraid that more Germans would rush to the heart of the British.

The British, who had been hegemonic for a hundred years, naturally knew the trade-offs and concentrated their superior forces to ensure that the middle road was not lost, in order to win reinforcements from the United States.

Roosevelt had already replied, and new American reinforcements were on their way. Among them, there are more than 100,000 army troops alone, and more than 500 fighters accompanying them. Three more aircraft carriers followed.

The huge fleet in the Atlantic also began to divide its forces, and in addition to some of the forces protecting the huge caravan, half of the main warships began to work at full speed, first towards the British Isles to support.

The British need time and do everything they can to buy time.

In order to defend their homeland, even many British fishing boats went to sea.

It may be that their weapons will not work, but the impact of the same death, which is full of horsepower, actually slows down the German attack.

The large and small ships of both sides were huddled together like dumplings in a pot in the English Channel, and the accidental damage rate of shells and torpedoes on both sides greatly increased. In particular, those small boats may even capsize in the emergency avoidance maneuvers of large ships or in the waves set off by large-caliber naval guns.

Flames and smoke filled the sea, and screams and howls were swept through the strait by the roar of explosions.

But no matter how much the British in front of them stopped, the German war machine was still in motion, and boatloads of German soldiers passed through the puffs of smoke in a rain of bullets and flames, towards the opposite shore, towards victory, towards German honor.

The gladiatorial rivalry between the two European giants quickly climbed to a peak, gathering the attention of both sides and attracting the attention of the whole world.

"After all, Europe is the center of Western civilization and the center of the world's mainstream culture in recent centuries, and it is difficult not to attract everyone's attention!" Zhou Bai said with emotion.

"It won't be long before our Huaxia will become the center of the world! Whether it is economy, science and technology, or culture, it will be the pinnacle of the earth's civilization. Meng Xiang said confidently, but he then turned his words and patted the thick stack of documents on the table and said:

"As the world hegemon that has led the coquettish world for a century, Britain has a lot of inventory. This list of contents also needs to be re-streamlined, and more representative ones are selected, so that we can take advantage of the fire and rob in the next step! ”
