In the evening, Lin Wei came to the Palace of Versailles again. The beautiful Palace of Versailles could not let Lin Wei stop, because Lin Wei knew that once he stopped, only failure would be waiting for him. Inform William II of Pétain's willingness to compromise. After receiving the approval of William II, Lin Wei immediately ordered Heydrich, who was still sitting in the Czech Republic, to come to France in the name of the national leader. In the next time, Heydrich will be responsible for identifying the Jews and cleaning up in France. Jewish property question.
What did Wilhelm II think of Hitt? The Purge of Jews was very puzzled and even thought that this kind of thing had brought shame to Germany. However, after learning about Germany's poor financial situation, he had to turn a blind eye to this kind of thing. Compared with the pressure of world public opinion, Germany's security obviously occupied a greater proportion in Wilhelm II's heart. The day after tomorrow, Wilhelm II and most of the people will return to Berlin. What about Hit? Both William II and Gustav knew that Lin Wei was responsible for the strangulation, and they all knew it tacitly, as if they were deliberately forgetting this kind of thing. As for what reasons Wilhelm II can come up with to return to power after returning to Germany and how the people will explain it, it has nothing to do with Lin Wei. Anyway, Lin Wei has decided that he will not return to Germany in a short time.
Staying in France is to monitor the movements in France on the one hand, and to prepare for landing in Britain on the other. According to the favorable conditions proposed by Germany, France needs to fulfill its obligation to fully preserve its naval strength and cooperate with Germany in landing on the British mainland. Such conditions have been agreed to by Admiral Darlan, commander of the French Navy. At the same time, a rumor was quietly spreading within the French Navy. Because the French Navy turned to Germany, rumors that the British Navy would launch a surprise attack on the French Navy spread like wildfire. Taking into account the feelings of the British, Admiral Darlan immediately Feeling that the situation was serious, he immediately ordered the French naval fleets stationed everywhere to be on guard against possible sneak attacks.
This rumor was spread by Lin Wei again. Considering that the British might take risks, Lin Wei also wanted to inform the French to take strict precautions. After all, Germany and France still need to cooperate in landing on the British mainland. Lin Wei cannot Watching the French navy suffer heavy losses, which would delay Germany's plan, so they told Admiral Darlan through rumors instead of telling him personally. That was because Germany and France had just ceased war and there were still some grudges between them. Darlan Admiral The admiral may not necessarily believe the German news, but it is different with rumors. The French had no idea who spread the word first and had no way of investigating. On the other hand, Germany has no evidence that the British want to do this. Even if the British argue that Germany is sowing relations between Britain and France, Germany can deny it.
After reporting to William II, facing the temptation of a thousand tons of gold, the expressions of everyone present immediately changed. Lin Wei couldn't help but chuckle to himself: Greed for money is a common trait among human beings. It turns out that I am not the only common person.
Just in time to catch up with everyone, Lin Wei was also ready to say what he was thinking. The people here included the German government and the army, navy and air force. Even in Germany, it was difficult to find an occasion where so many people were together. After clearing his throat, Lin Wei first bowed slightly to William II to show respect, and then said, "Now that France has fallen, our only enemy is the United Kingdom. They defend the English Channel and fight against us! I don't know. Generals, can you tell us what you think of Britain?"
Just as Lin Wei finished speaking, Commander-in-Chief Marshal von Blomberg frowned slightly, looked at William II and said, "We can negotiate peace with the British, as long as the British agree to our hegemony on the European continent!" ".
"Ahem..." Lin Wei never expected that the first person to speak, his plan, was to negotiate for peace? Lin Wei's prepared words were all held in his throat, choking him so much that he quickly started coughing.
"Marshal von Blomberg, the peace talks are a bit fanciful!" Another heavyweight stood up, Navy Commander Marshal Redl, originally Hit? After the French campaign, Lehui appointed more than 20 marshals in one fell swoop, but Hit? Le is dead now. There are not so many marshals in Germany. Now only the commanders of land, sea and air, von Blomberg, Göring and Raeder are marshals. Raeder, who is also a marshal, his navy has just achieved a huge victory, and he has enough Capital dissuaded Marshal von Blomberg.
Marshal von Blomberg looked displeased, tilted his head and asked, "Marshal Raeder, you have to know that Britain has vast colonies around the world! Just think about it as much as fighting them!" No matter what it is, There are certain frictions between countries and military services, and the German army is no exception. And because of disputes over strategic resources and funds, Germany's situation is even worse than that of other countries.
"It is precisely because of this that we have to capture Britain as soon as possible! Only in this way can we deal with Britain before its production capacity is mobilized!" Redl said confidently, "The strength of the British navy has been reduced by half, and what's more, the British navy has lost more than half of its strength. The natural barrier of the Strait is no longer so strong in our era. Our air force is fully involved in the war. I believe that with the assistance of the most powerful air force in the world, we will definitely be able to win!" At the end of the sentence, Redl also said Don't forget to compliment Goering's air force and find an ally for yourself.
"That's right!" Goering jumped out and shouted according to the successful Raeder idea; "Even the air force alone can make Britain surrender!"
"This idiot!" Lin Wei wailed helplessly as Golin was successfully used as a gunman by Redel.
William II looked at several army commanders with a headache. William II, who had left Germany for twenty years, felt that he could no longer keep up with the minds of these young officers. In Germany twenty years ago, it seemed that no senior military officer was as loud as a shrew in the conference room.
"Aren't today's young people a little too lively?" Willem II rubbed his forehead, looked at the culprit who was standing aside and provoked the trouble, and said; "Lampard, if you have any ideas, just say it. Come on! Don’t be like those politicians who always hide half of what they say!”
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Lin Wei glanced around and took in everyone's expressions. When he saw Gustav's eyes, Lin Wei immediately felt his father's support, so he said; "If we can defeat the British ,why not?"
If we can beat the British, why not? This simple sentence made ripples in the hearts of the generals present. Germany has always been dissatisfied with Britain's hegemony. Why can't Germany's status in the world catch up with Britain? That is, Britain had vast colonies. The vastness of those colonies does not mean that Britain is excellent, it is just that they caught up early. If Germany had not missed the opportunity to carve up the world during its unification, the British would never have established their hegemony so easily. Germany had long been dissatisfied with Britain's exclusive possession of vast colonies, and its direct participation in the First World War was an attempt to challenge British hegemony. But in the end, Germany ended up losing after four years of hard work.
Now, everything is different. France, which had blocked Germany for four years, suffered a complete defeat in just one month. Germany, which had not suffered any losses, could continue to fight and kill Britain. Thinking of this, the hearts of the generals present seemed to become hot. Even Marshal von Blomberg, the commander-in-chief, who has always been opposed, is the same. Marshal von Blomberg is not opposed to attacking Britain, but the strength of Britain has always caused many problems to Marshal von Blomberg. Now Germany's fantastic victory has given Marshal von Blomberg an uneasy feeling. Marshal von Blomberg hopes that Germany will temporarily sit down and enjoy the fruits of victory instead of continuing to fight.
Although he was already a little excited, Marshal von Blomberg still said, "Even with the addition of the French Navy, we can only land 100,000 people a day, and we also have to beware of the British Navy's interception, which is even more efficient." At a discount, with tens of thousands of troops facing the entire UK, this plan is too risky, even comparable to Operation Sickle!"
"We won Operation Sickle, didn't we? Marshal von Blomberg?" Lin Wei said with a smile, "Britain has suffered serious losses in the Battle of France, the army is being reorganized, and the National Guard is still there During the training, there was a severe shortage of weapons and ammunition, with only 500 guns and 200 tanks left. During the Battle of France, the 700 fighter jets and 500 bombers that were retained were forced to protect thousands of miles of coastline. We simply lost sight of the other. We The French can win against two million troops. The British army is far less powerful than the French army now, and the Royal Navy is also crippled. I really can't think of the British having any chance of winning!"
"No, Lampard, you are wrong this time!" Marshal von Blomberg said seriously, "The reason why the Battle of France was won was because France believed in the Maginot Line and ignored the Ardennes. That is to say, they did not expect us to attack there! The British today are different from France. They may be very short of equipment and have very few people, but Churchill may have already thought that we would attack the British mainland. You can think of any attack plan, The British have thought of everything! They will launch a targeted defense. It is impossible to be surprised like the Battle of France. This is a bloody battle, and it is a bloody battle with unpredictable results!"
Lin Wei opened his mouth and wanted to argue but didn't know where to start. Marshal von Blomberg was right. The landing in Britain was indeed incomparable with the French Campaign. Winning the French Campaign under the leadership of Operation Scythe was indeed a bit lucky. If France thinks about the Ardennes region, the outcome is still unknown. After thinking for a long time, Lin Wei gave up the idea of defending Marshal von Blomberg morally, and said instead, "Marshal von Blomberg, the sooner the battle is launched, the better. The faster we launch the battle, The British are less prepared. I know that the British have begun to mobilize, but in such a short period of time, it is impossible for civilians to complete the transformation into the army. We are still dealing with ordinary civilians. They may cause us trouble, but this does not mean It will not be fatal! The easiest and most effective method for the rebels is to make them disappear from this world! A selected elite but small force is fully capable of this task!"
Lin Wei turned his head and bowed slightly to William II and said, "Your Majesty, I want your Majesty to summon the commander of the 19th Armored Corps, General Guderian! In this French battle, Guderian created a A series of miracles, the Nineteenth Armored Corps alone captured 250,000 prisoners!"
"Very well, let's summon General Guderian!" William II signaled slightly, and a servant went out immediately. About fifteen minutes later, General Guderian, dressed in military uniform, walked in boldly.
Although Guderian was not handsome, he did look like a soldier. His whole person gave William II a very capable feeling. William II immediately became fond of this general and asked; " General Guderian, I want to know how many people you would need if an army were to land on British soil under your command!"
"Landing in England?" Guderian pondered for a moment, "Twenty thousand to fifteen thousand people are enough, but it cannot be an ordinary army!"
"Of course it's not an ordinary army! You mean 150,000 people are enough, right?" William II asked.
"Yes, 150,000 people are enough!" Guderian assured.
"Very good!" William II praised, "Select elite personnel from each army to form an army to attack Britain! Remember, I want elites!" After giving the order, William II said to Guderian, "General Guderian, if you can successfully land in the UK with 150,000 men and win, I will make you marshal!"
Wow..., everyone was extremely shocked by William II's words. After all, Germany now only has three marshals, and some generals couldn't help but feel jealous of Guderian. Even the eyes looking at Guderian exuded some strange emotions. Guderian had no feelings about this. All he hoped was to command the armored troops to victory. Regarding William II's words, Guderian did not lose his composure and just said lightly: "The armored troops will never let His Majesty down!"
William II was obviously a little tired, yawned and said, "Is there anything else?"
"Your Majesty, I have it!" As if deliberately not letting William II rest, an unfortunate voice appeared, and this voice belonged to Lin Wei.
"Say it!" William II was also a little helpless towards Lin Wei. Although this little guy was very annoying sometimes, he could make sense of everything.
Lin Wei ignored the tired looks of a large group of people and said eloquently, "I think the plan to attack Britain is still incomplete. We need a more comprehensive plan. The power of the British in the Mediterranean cannot be underestimated. We must intercept the British." The Mediterranean Fleet is trying to support the mainland. For this, we need to control a place!"
"Gibraltar?" Guderian exclaimed.
"Has the general also considered the issue of the Mediterranean?" Lin Wei smiled with interest.
Guderian sorted out his thoughts and said, "In my personal opinion, in order to restore peace in the short term, we should first coordinate France's bases in the Mediterranean and add Italy's bases. Then we can land in Africa and at the same time be first-rate." The paratroopers can also occupy the island of Malta. If the French are willing to participate in this war, of course it would be best. Otherwise, such an attack should be launched immediately with the strength of Germany and Italy. The British weakness in Egypt is that we have already You know, Italy currently has a strong force in Ethiopia, and Malta's defense against air attacks is slightly insufficient. So in my opinion, developing along this route is really beneficial and harmless. As long as 4 to 6 are Transporting three divisions of armored troops to North Africa will give us an absolute advantage. Even if the British have reinforcements that can arrive, they will be unable to do anything."
"It's a pity that Italy will not let us go to Africa!" Lin Wei shook his head and said, "General Guderian, there is no need to say more about our relationship with Italy. Although their combat effectiveness is somewhat poor, during the critical period of fighting France , Italy is the only country that supports us! So I don’t believe it for the time being in North Africa. What I want to do is to occupy both sides of the Strait of Gibraltar, cut off the return route of the British Mediterranean Fleet, and hand over the British Mediterranean Fleet to the Italian Navy. I won’t I believe that the Italian Navy, which is three times as powerful as the British Mediterranean Fleet, will be defeated by the British! In this case, Guderian will command our armored group to land on the British mainland, and our armed SS will be responsible for attacking the Gibraltar Fortress, attacking from the north and the south at the same time. The above Both points are critical to Britain and will definitely distract the British's limited strength!"
Lin Wei gestured, "The power of the air force is the most critical. It is responsible for bombing the British mainland and dealing with the Royal Air Force, the Royal Navy, the Imperial Navy and the French Navy. The armored group of General Guderian is responsible for the attack, and our armed forces The SS attacked the Strait of Gibraltar! This plan!" Lin Wei paused and said, "It's called the Blue Plan!"
"There is another question!" Marshal von Blomberg pondered, "If we want to attack Gibraltar, we must go through Spain. What if Franco doesn't agree?"
"Convince them! If it's still not easy!" Lin Wei touched his chin, "We have even offended the UK, which is known as the number one in the world, so we are not afraid to be more thorough. Do we in Germany still care about a small Spain?" Indeed, many countries in the world are already dissatisfied with Germany, such as the United States and the Soviet Union? A small Spain is indeed no longer in the eyes of Germany. Germany has now reached a point where its debt burden is no longer burdensome.
