"Hey, I knew I wouldn't agree!" William II said with a long sigh, "Wilhelmina, come and see this!" With that, William II took out a letter from his pocket.
"William! This is it?" Queen Wilhelmina saw that William II was so solemn and did not dare to neglect at all. She quickly took it and asked, "Who wrote this letter?"
"This is a letter written by the son of my old friend Gustav, now the national leader of the German SS, General of the Waffen SS, General of the Police, Prime Minister of Bavaria, and heir to the Krupp family!" From William II A string of Lin Wei's titles came out of Shikou immediately, and Queen Wilhelmina was confused when she heard it, but this was exactly the effect William II wanted.
Queen Wilhelmina, who was confused by William II, opened the letter handed over by William II. Queen Wilhelmina had also heard about Lin Wei for a long time. Now Germany's aggressive policy, although it was through Greece special? Directly formulated by Le, but several senior officials of the National Socialist Party appeared on various occasions. This young SS leader is undoubtedly a star figure. He was born in a good family. His father is the head of the largest military industrial enterprise in Germany. His wife is the only heir to the Ronald family in Stuttgart, where 40% of the wine in Germany is produced, and he himself was keenly aware of the fact that the National Socialist Party was being suppressed and faced many difficulties at the time. Facts have proved that Was he right? Hit in 1933? Le became Chancellor of Germany.
In Hit? After Le became the German Chancellor, he had an irreconcilable conflict with the leader of the Stormtroopers Röhm. In this incident, this little guy stood firmly against Hit, who seemed to be in many dangers? Le, finally killed the stormtrooper leader Röhm in one fell swoop during the Night of Long Knives, making the SS independent from the stormtroopers. Finally, the stormtroopers were devoured, and elites were selected from the stormtroopers and enriched into the armed SS. In the operations of occupying the Rhine Demilitarized Zone, annexing Austria, and annexing the Sudetenland region, the Armed SS performed well. In the Polish campaign, the strength of the Armed SS was further proved.
To be honest, Queen Wilhelmina also wanted to know how this little guy would persuade her, so she opened the letter that William II took out.
"Dear Queen Wilhelmina, hello! I think Her Majesty the Queen understands the current situation. It is inevitable that Germany, Britain and France will have a war! In this regard, I hope that the Dutch government and Her Majesty the Queen will abide by neutrality, because you, the Netherlands The military strength of the Netherlands is too small compared to ours. Even if we use half of our current strength to fight a war with the Netherlands, your Dutch army will never be able to withstand it for more than five days. Don't think I am talking big words. There are millions of Polish troops. The experience of the German Empire has fully proved the combat effectiveness of the current German Imperial Army. To be honest, if my father did not still miss His Majesty and was so grateful to Her Majesty the Queen for taking in His Majesty after the war, I would never have I will spend all my time writing this letter to you, because I believe more in the strength of China, rather than the so-called neutrality treaty! Finally, I reiterate that if it were not for Her Majesty the Queen of the Netherlands, I would never say a word more. , if it were Belgium, I would have talked to them with cannons!"
Queen Wilhelmina read Lin Wei's letter word by word, and said to William II with a smile, "William, has this little guy completely inherited your mantle of Prussian militarism? What interests me a bit is, This little guy seems to hate Belgium, what’s going on?”
"Well, his hometown of Essen was once occupied by the French and Belgian coalition forces!" William II said awkwardly, "This incident may have had a great impact on him when he was young!"
"Oh!" Queen Wilhelmina nodded clearly. The invasion of the Ruhr area by Belgium and France was indeed a big event in Europe at that time. However, as time went by, people had forgotten it. Unexpectedly, there was another person. Having been thinking about revenge, King Leopold III of Belgium will have a headache now.
"But William, you may be disappointed! If Germany invades my country, I have no choice but to stand with the British!" Queen Wilhelmina said firmly, "Maybe the German Empire is very powerful now. , but I really don’t believe that the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, the United Kingdom, and France together can’t be Germany’s opponent. Our five countries together have 142 divisions. No matter where I look, I can see If we don’t come out, we will fail! There are huge groups of bunkers on the border between Belgium and Germany, and France’s Maginot Line is unbreakable. As for us in the Netherlands, we can completely stop your attack with a huge canal network. The result will be just like last time Just like a war, Germany will inevitably be unable to bear it first. Wilhelm, listen to my advice. You should use your status as the former Kaiser to advise the current German government not to fight this war that is destined to fail!" Queen Wilhelmina is full of confidence. said.
"Wilhelmina, I knew you wouldn't listen to my advice! Alas, times have changed!" William II sighed and said, "Then, Wilhelmina, if the Netherlands fails, you must Protect the safety of your citizens!" William II didn't know what to say at this time. As the German emperor, William II devoted almost all his feelings to Germany, but he had lived in the Netherlands for more than 20 years and said the right thing. The Netherlands has no feelings at all, which is unrealistic, so the most troubling thing for William II now is that he has to watch Germany and the Netherlands go to war!
"Wilhelmina, I hope you will carefully consider my opinion. I'm leaving first!" William II said seriously.
Lin Wei received the news from William II at the base camp. After learning what Queen Wilhelmina of the Netherlands meant, Lin Wei sarcastically muttered to himself, "In this era, we still hold on to the rigid tactics of the last war. How stupid it is to predict war by comparing the number of armies!"
Whether it is the Manstein plan or the French Breda variant, some kind of prediction is made under ideal conditions. To put it simply, it is hypothesis, hypothesis, and hypothesis. The Army has a tradition of formulating battle plans. Army battle plans are often complex. Because the army is slow, the land terrain is complex, land battles take a long time, and there are many variables in the middle. The Air Force's battle plan is relatively simple. Because the air force is fast, there are no terrain problems, only weather problems. The air combat time is short and there are not many variables. The army's operational plan is how much army force will depart from where and when to arrive or occupy where. The Manstein plan and the Breda variant are both typical Army combat plans.
Combat plans are often based on many assumptions. If the assumptions are not true, the combat plan will be extremely dangerous. One assumption of the Breda variant is that the Ardennes are impassable, and another assumption is that the Maginot Line cannot be breached. Therefore, the main task of the British and French forces was to prevent the German army from attacking France from the Low Countries. The ideal situation for the Breda variant is to form a front line connected by the British, French, Dutch and Belgian forces. One assumption of Manstein's plan was that the armored forces could cross the Ardennes. Another assumption was that the British and French forces were weak near the Ardennes. Another assumption was that the British and French forces would enter the Low Countries to fight. The key to Manstein's plan was crossing the Ardennes. The three main assumptions of the Manstein plan are all true, while the two main assumptions of the Breda variant are not true. The Ardennes were crossed and the Maginot Line bypassed. From the analysis of the combat plan, even if the German army did not adopt blitz tactics, the British and French coalition forces would be defeated, but the resistance time would be longer. Correct battle plans and innovative tactics met wrong battle plans and outdated tactics, and France fell in six weeks.
The key to the success or failure of a combat plan lies in whether the assumptions are true. If the enemy is not expected to use nuclear weapons and the enemy does, then the previous battle plan is undoubtedly broken. If a third party is not expected to enter the war, and a third party does, the previous battle plan becomes invalid. Therefore, it is necessary to formulate multiple combat plans, at least three sets of combat plans, in order to respond promptly when the assumptions of the first set of plans do not hold. Accidents occur frequently in war, assumptions are often broken, and multiple combat plans are necessary preparations. Combat plans are all hypothetical. The more assumptions you make, the better your chances of winning.
"Have all the troops arrived at their designated positions?" Lin Wei asked.
"Leader, the Gendarmerie Division and the Imperial Division have arrived at the designated location of Army Group A, and the Skeleton Division is also at the border area between us and Belgium! The Prince Eugen Division, the Police Division and the Viking Division are all in place. It can be said that as long as an order is given, ! You can go into battle right away!" Robert C. Crawford said.
"Okay! Now the Wehrmacht are almost ready, right? The Norwegian campaign must end as soon as possible. Go ahead and urge Michel Gebermeier to launch an offensive from the north as soon as possible, so that he can defeat the Wehrmacht in the south from the north and south in one fell swoop. We must attack from a pinch and strangle the resistance of the Norwegian army like a pair of pliers! As long as the Norwegian campaign ends early, it will not waste too much of our energy, and we can focus our main energy on the Western Front. Once the war on the Western Front begins, , the world will definitely be shocked!" Lin Wei said proudly.
"Leader, I understand!" After Robert C. Crawford said this, he immediately went out to convey Lin Wei's latest order.
"Belgium, I'm here! You occupied the Ruhr area, and now the revenge from the Ruhr area has begun!" Lin Wei said coldly.
