"I'll give you a month at most, and during that time, you have to concentrate 25,000 available aircraft. Deploy them in the north, west, and mainland of France, and then I will contact Austria-Hungary, Italy, and Spain, and they will also make up the size of about 10,000 aircraft, and I will hand them all over to you. I hope that you can use the power in your hands to bring the British to their knees in 2 months! Don't you want to end the war quickly? This goal will be achieved by defeating Britain, and China is still far from us after all, and if Britain is gone, he will be the first country to negotiate peace with us. As for the rest of the Americans? We are not afraid of him at all! Wilhelm II was so dissatisfied with the report submitted by Hitthofen that he did not even comment on the report itself, but said what he had planned!

Looking at the air marshal with a hesitant and helpless expression, Wilhelm II continued: "The most important thing in military affairs is to concentrate on seizing the opportunity to attack the most lethal places of the opponent, and now, there is a golden opportunity before us, and the British will not use more than 15,000 aircraft for the defense of their homeland. With the United States and Huaxia, their number will not exceed 20,000, and many of them are bombers, and their replenishment capabilities cannot be compared with ours, even if you consume 3ooo fighters every month, it doesn't matter, I can replenish you with 4ooo or even more! Our power is always rising, and the British are slowly falling! I will also have the Navy isolate the British mainland from the rest of the world, we are now in a period of superiority, the opponent is in a period of weakness, and our troops can pierce the weakest point of the opponent - London! Tell me, Marshal, what exactly are you hesitating about? We have defeated Russia, Italy and France, and the last old empire in Europe is about to submit to the military might of the empire, what do you have to hesitate about? If you've made up your mind, I've got you covered! "Wilhelm II's last words were clearly an order.

"But we have to fight across the sea, and we can't save the pilots we lost in Britain, compared to the planes. Experienced pilots are the jewels of the Air Force. The British began to adjust their production capacity as early as 2 months ago, and they stopped almost all bomber production and invested resources in fighter aircraft, and their replenishment was amazing. And we are going to invest the resources of fighters and light bombers in heavy bombers, and I think it will be difficult for our replenishment capabilities to meet the standard you are talking about. And the Americans have built an air route from Canada to Greenland to Iceland, through which their fighters can fly directly to Britain, and the number of Entente aircraft in Britain will soon exceed 23,000! Our advantage is not huge. And I doubt that the Navy will be able to blockade Britain, the Chinese fleet has already reached the United States, and they will soon enter the Atlantic! Richthofen knew that his opinion would not be accepted. He was even reprimanded by the Kaiser, but with a hint of illusion, he still said these taboo words, hoping that the latter would be able to pull back from the precipice and make a correct decision.

Faced with today's surprisingly stubborn Air Force commander, Wilhelm II also felt a little tricky. After all, the former is the head of the Luftwaffe, although he has often been at odds with himself lately, and some of the things he has done are not satisfactory. But the Kaiser really didn't dare to replace him casually. The Red Baron has led the Air Force alone for twenty years, and this is the Air Force version of "Tirpitz Forever"! In the face of such a figure who almost single-handedly built up the air force, Wilhelm II also had to put up with it, especially when preparing for an air raid on Britain! Without Richthofen. Who can integrate the forces of almost 35 air armies of 4 countries? And just when the Kaiser was annoyed, the arrival of the commander of the navy, Count Spee, turned the situation around. The Kaiser found an excuse to leave for the time being, and let the naval commander deal with the commander of the air force!

"I should have thought that you were the one who drove the LinkedIn project! Otherwise, His Majesty the Emperor would never have made such a desperate bet, he was just a king, not a marshal. Richthofen looked at Count Spee on the other side, and said with some hatred. The Count of Spee, on the other hand, frankly admitted that he had pushed forward the plan to attack Britain with all his might, after the Kaiser left. And in Richthofen's view, such actions of the Navy clearly pushed the Air Force into a dilemma! It is time to fight across the sea, and the weight of the opinion of the 6th Army is decreasing. And the Kaiser, having the support of the navy, could naturally force the air force to carry out this plan.

"From the point of view of the Air Force, you made the right choice. You are well aware of the strength of the British Air Force, and the outline of the plan you once showed me was very good. Very good options, at least at the tactical level, you stuck the losses and gains of the Air Force at a critical point, striking British industry with a short period of high-intensity attacks, stopping the attack before the opponent has adapted to your tactics. Then it moved to the active defense phase, and the saved forces were used in the Middle East. Win by fighting a war of attrition that even the Entente could not hold. You think this plan is very sound. But from a strategic point of view. I think this plan is self-defeating! "Count Spee's qualifications are significantly higher than those of the Red Baron, who was still a pilot when he led the army and fought a bloody war with the Entente.

But this time, his own side obviously had a loss of personal morality, so he used a salutation when answering the other party, but the count still insisted on the point of view of the machine, he did not approve of the baron's plan, he thought that only the British were completely finished, and Germany could win! Otherwise, no matter how big the victory is, it will be just a flash in the pan!

"As you can see, the defeat of France was a huge setback for the Entente, but it was not enough to make them admit defeat, and the accession of China was completely on top of three or even four France! The balance of power between the two sides is not in a good direction, but even worse! We must defeat one enemy after another in a short period of time to have any hope of victory, otherwise, once China attacks from the direction of the Middle East, Britain and the United States attack in the direction of the Atlantic, the German army will be forced to fight on two fronts, although I do not know how the air force will deal with the war situation in Europe and the Middle East, but I can clearly tell you that the navy cannot cope with this situation! To dismantle the fleet in the Atlantic and Indian Oceans is to find death! Count Spee continued.

As early as after the end of the Battle of the Atlantic, Count Spee and his subordinates carefully studied the future battlefield situation. The navy is different from the air force, the special design and tasks of the navy determine that the German high seas fleet must not be used as a domestic squatting fleet, and he must bear the heavy responsibility of containing Britain and maintaining sea supremacy in the Indian Ocean at the same time! These are the two most fundamental pillars of Germany's unbeaten streak! If the Entente had used Britain as a base, it would have led to a never-ending situation in the direction of Germany itself.

In order to ensure the safety of the airspace over the homeland, the Germans had to devote a large amount of material and human resources to the anti-aircraft artillery units of the Air Force and various civil air defense facilities. And even then, it is difficult to ensure the safety of the industrial system. Perhaps the air battle exchange was at a loss to the Entente, but if you count the losses of industry and cities. Then it's really said that whoever suffers will take advantage.

Not to mention the Indian Ocean, China already has a geographical advantage, its home is closer to the Middle East, and the oil fields in the Lianghe River Basin and Transcaucasia, on which German tanks depend, are within the strike range of the Huaxia Army. A simple air attack is already difficult to deal with, and if a ground war breaks out, the navy must ensure the safety of the passage to the Middle East. The German Middle East Army, which lacked logistics, would absolutely not be able to withstand the attacks of China and the Entente, and the oil fields in the two river basins and the Transcaucasian region would sooner or later be captured. As a result, the Allied bloc would lose at least half of its liquid fuel. Combat effectiveness is bound to be greatly reduced. Turkey will then fall. Then the Chinese legions would reach the edge of the Mediterranean. After the battle was fought to this extent. Germany has actually lost, it's just a matter of how long it lasts.

Then after seeing through this, the problem comes. Will the German High Seas Fleet be able to maintain both seas and confront a powerful enemy at the same time? Count Spee has no confidence, very little confidence! Although the Germans had the advantage of fighting on the inside line, neither the American and British fleets nor the Chinese fleet had to go all out to win. And judging from the fact that the decisive battle of the fleet has just ended, it is simply unrealistic to want to take out the opponent at once, and Count Spee thinks that he has done the best he can. But it only slandered the opponent, and it couldn't even be a heavy injury! The German High Seas Fleet could concentrate all its efforts to barely gain an advantage on one front, and if it were to split its forces to deal with attacks from both sides, it would certainly be broken by each of them.

If only that's all. Not so much as to let the Earl of Spee take risks in the British question. However, after carefully evaluating the national strength and naval capacity of both sides, the Earl is now in the best form of the sea! Because at this time, the navies of the United States and Britain were in a period of weakness, the blows of the previous period weakened the opponent, and the large-scale construction of warships had not yet had time to form combat effectiveness.

And if it drags on any longer, when the Germans usher in their Caesar-class aircraft carriers, the Americans' Essex Sea will probably have taken shape, and China's new aircraft carriers will also be in service in large quantities, the latter of which are not inferior to the Germans in terms of quality and quantity! If you grow by yourself, the other party may increase by three or even more! What the? Germany's allies, you ask? Come on. Except for Austria-Hungary, which can be regarded as a great power, the others, whether Turkey or Spain, are only at the soy sauce level. Austria-Hungary said that it would be difficult to launch more capital ships while maintaining the attrition of the 6th Army and the Air Force. It would be nice to be able to make up for the battle damage!

So after some assessment, the German navy's attack on Britain was their last chance to end the war in a short time! And if this opportunity is abandoned, I am afraid that it will take years for the Germans to end the war with dignity. Or defeat the American and British fleets in the Atlantic, or negotiate peace with China!

"This operation will also be a tough battle or even a disaster for the Navy, have you figured out how to deal with all this? Your Excellency? In the middle of the sound, Richthofen finally calmed down from his angry and even somewhat angry mood, and he looked at the white-haired Count Spee in front of him and said.

"In fact, the Navy faces greater threats and challenges than the Air Force. Your losses are at least within a manageable range, no matter how strong the opposing forces are, in a short period of time, the Luftwaffe will have a huge advantage, maybe the offensive may be thwarted, but the defense will definitely not be a problem. And when leading the fleet into the ocean. What I need to face is the naval power of China, the United States, the United Kingdom, and France! Their total strength is far greater than that of the Allied fleet! Although they are separated on both sides of the Atlantic, the Chinese Navy and the U.S. Navy alone have put me under great pressure, and it is very likely that today I am still talking and laughing with you, and tomorrow I will never be able to set foot on my native soil. But even then, I must lead my fleet to the unpredictable oceans! If you are going to end the war in a short time, then you should support my plan. I don't think you think the Empire will have anything to gain in a war of attrition, do you? Count Spee said with a wry smile.

"In this campaign, I also hope that you and your air force will increase the intensity of air raids on the port and the Royal Navy, dragging them on British soil. The main force of the American fleet has already set sail for its home, and the French may follow. I don't want the High Seas Fleet to be stabbed in the back while confronting the enemy to the west. Of course, as a debriefing, I can hand over half of the forces of the Navy's 6-base aviation to your subordinates. They will help you complete the blockade of the British offshore. Count Spee continued, as if two merchants were negotiating a version of the terms, and what they could give each other and what they wanted to be made clear!

"I hope you made the right decision." At this point, the Red Baron also knew that the Battle of England would be inevitable, the Germans would concentrate all their energy on launching an attack on Britain, the Navy and Air Force would do their best to lay down the last bastion of the Entente, and the 6th Army would also draw out its elite troops and prepare to board the 6th after the British Air Force weakened! The Germans had a good idea and intended to take advantage of the unprecedented weakness of the Entente to seal the victory in one fell swoop! But the Germans were too naïve, could China and the Entente watch the Germans eat Britain? Obviously impossible!

While the Germans were planning all this, China and the Entente were also discussing how to get through this vacuum! The main fleet of the Chinese Navy has arrived in the United States, and they are about to reach the Atlantic coast through the Panama Canal, and the main forces of the American fleet and the French fleet have also returned from Europe. Build an impregnable Great Wall for the route to the UK! And this is only one aspect of the upcoming plan, Xu Jie's vision is definitely not limited to the Atlantic!
