After William II left, everyone was in the conference room waiting for news from Britain. They all wanted to know whether Guderian's seemingly risky move this time could bring news of victory, and this news was about to come. can be transmitted. If Guderian fails, even if the German army is not driven into the sea, it will be in a very difficult situation for a period of time in the future. After all, the British who react can defeat them faster than Germany fighting across the sea. The troops were mobilized. If that were the case, the initial landing force of 150,000 people would be besieged by British troops several times their own number. This was definitely not a good thing.
The youngest of these were people with the rank of major general. They were whispering in the seemingly large conference room. Most of the people were a little worried about the current situation. It is not that Germany has never defeated more with less, but those are all developed in Germany. With the support of the railway network, facing the British across the sea from Germany, the German warriors who were accustomed to living on land obviously did not have that huge self-confidence.
The depressing atmosphere caused some generals to start looking for some relaxing topics. Here you can see German generals talking freely about the situation in Europe. Some of these words are unpredictable and some are very ridiculous, but no matter what, this is a kind of Great way to reduce stress.
The depressing atmosphere was accompanied by the unknowability of the Battle of Britain, which seemed to make the time extremely long. Just when everyone began to discuss whether and when the United States would participate in the war, good news finally came. Guderian's armor The cluster has defeated the British army in Dover, and the commander of the British garrison, General Alexander, has no choice but to retreat with the remaining defeated troops. And now Guderian has led the Zhuangjia cluster to attack, just like Lin As Wei expected, Guderian did not choose to attack London directly, but instead advanced deep into the British mainland. This avoided the possible street fighting in the attack on London and allowed the German army to suffer less losses. You can also let the armored group choose your preferred combat method, annihilate the British army in large numbers in the wild, and consume the effective strength of the British army.
"This is good news!" Field Marshal von Blomberg, the commander, was simply incoherent. "The two-front battle that troubled hundreds of German generals was finally broken by the German army today. Where will the German army attack in the future? Where will they attack? You can attack wherever you like!"
"Not bad!" Army Commander-in-Chief General von Brauchitsch also said, "In this way, Germany can put more power on the Eastern Front. We are watching the Soviet Union swallow up the three Baltic countries and attack Finland! Now! We can finally stand up and talk to the Soviets!"
Looking at the excited crowd, Lin Wei thought unscrupulously. Fortunately, these old people are in good health. If news like this comes a few more times, it will be bad if they die! Lin Wei has never taken a fancy to the strength of the British Army, not to mention that he clearly knows the strength of the British Army. The British did not conduct wartime mobilization until after the battle formation began. The people mobilized temporarily had no military training, so it was strange that they would be opponents of elite armored groups. Moreover, Germany had already landed on the British mainland without giving Britain time to mobilize its industrial system. If Lin Wei guessed correctly, wouldn't the weapons and equipment of today's British soldiers be as difficult as those of China, which is currently fighting Japan? The army is better, but it may not even be possible to have guns for everyone.
According to Lin Wei's estimation, within three months, the German army would be able to occupy the whole of Britain. Even if a few big cities were not occupied due to street fighting, as long as Guderian was smarter and surrounded them, the British in the cities would be able to occupy them. Will starve to death? Britain is not the Soviet Union. After all the places where food can be grown are occupied, Lin Wei doesn't believe that the soldiers and civilians who persist in fighting in the city can feed themselves by eating dead people? Even if they did, a year of siege would be enough for those who persisted in fighting to starve to death.
Lin Wei thought about it, and after calculating all the possible measures that the British could take, he basically came to his own conclusion for the British Campaign, that is, in at least three months and no more than one year at the longest, the British will No living person continued to resist the German attack. As for some government personnel who may flee to Canada to establish a government-in-exile to continue resistance, that is no longer a consideration for Lin Wei. The mainland is gone, and a government-in-exile is of no use.
"Lampard? How do you know that Guderian also won?" While Lin Wei was thinking wildly in the corner, Marshal von Blomberg, the commander-in-chief, came over and asked.
Lin Wei really had nothing to do with these very curious old people. They were all of the same generation as his father. When he met them, they all had an uncle and an uncle. The routine of showing majesty in the SS would not work. Over time, , Lin Wei didn't bother to deal with these curious old people. Although Lin Wei liked to be asked questions all the time, Lin Wei, who valued politeness, still replied, "I know the situation in Britain better than the generals. After all, our Gestapo has been operating in Britain for several years. When will they mobilize? I also know a little more than the generals about how much is produced and how much is used in the military industry. Face to face, it is because I know that the British Army is not very powerful that I have confidence in General Guderian. After all, the British Empire counts the entire The colonies of the world are behemoths, and if they are just their local strength, they are not worth mentioning!"
"Very good!" Commander-in-Chief Marshal von Blomberg praised. Lin Wei didn't know that his words left a very good impression on Marshal von Blomberg, that is, the SS The intelligence was fast and accurate. When Plan Barbarossa was implemented a year later, Lin Wei's opinions were listened to more. Lin Wei, who was still in an idiot state, could never have thought of it.
Now that we have obtained the accurate situation of the Battle of Britain, there is no need for Lin Wei to stay here any longer. The overall planning of these generals can throw Lin Wei away a few streets, so he found an excuse and said: After recalling the National Socialist Party to prepare for mediation, Lin Wei hurriedly left the Supreme Command.
As soon as he came down from the fifth floor, he saw his adjutant Robert C. Crawford standing there waiting for him. After all, with his status, it was impossible for him to participate in a meeting of this level. He thought of when he first entered , seeing a marshal and a general making a noise, Lin Wei was even more convinced of this idea.
"Leader! General Guderian has captured Dover, and the British war has been decided!" Crawford said quietly.
Lin Wei looked at his adjutant sideways, feeling that he had never been so hateful before today, and said viciously, "Is it interesting to always talk nonsense to me?" He knew with his butt that Crawford definitely did it on purpose, he didn't Maybe he didn't know where he was, how could he not know such important news. Thinking about his adjutant, who was becoming more and more insignificant, Lin Wei began to think about when to give this adjutant a slap in the face who was smiling all day long, but with acceptable abilities.
Seeing that Lin Wei was really angry, Crawford immediately changed his expression, "Leader, five thousand Gestapo are ready to land! At that time, they will control the British upper class and public figures according to the established goals!" "
"Huh? This matter is still relatively new!" Lin Wei paused and said, "This time our action will still be divided into two steps. In addition to local public figures in the UK, some of them are those who have been occupied. Government-in-exile and military!”
"Poles?" Crawford asked.
Lin Wei looked into Crawford's eyes, nodded and said, "For officials and supporters of the Czechoslovak and Polish governments, as well as the army, important figures were arrested and sent to concentration camps. Some unknown figures or their supporters, Shot on the spot, no files are allowed to be left, and the SS has never seen those missing people, do you understand?" Lin Wei almost pressed into Crawford's ear, causing some of the guards of the Supreme Command to whisper. .
"Understood?" Crawford assured with a serious face. From Lin Wei's words, Crawford had already felt how important this matter was.
"Then there are the Belgian government in Western Europe and the family of King Haakon VII of Norway!" Lin Wei obviously thought of the original plan to arrest Haakon VII, and his expression was obviously bad, but Lin Wei still said, "These people We can’t treat the Poles and Czechoslovaks the same way. We must ensure their safety after they are caught, and they are much more important than those people. I don’t blame you even if I don’t catch a single Pole, but Haakon Seven The Shi family must be caught, their family is more important than anyone else! Not only because of the honor of the SS, but also because it can make Norway, which has not completely stopped resisting, stop resisting!"
After the explanation, Lin Wei said, "There is nothing left. I will leave this matter to your command. Remember, don't let go of those who deserve to be killed. Those who should be controlled, especially the family of Haakon VII, cannot be killed." Hurt!" Lin Wei and Crawford went downstairs while talking, and got into the car that took them together. The place Lin Wei was going to this time was the Capitol Building, because he was going to talk to the National Socialist Party people. At the same time, a mediation conference was convened for the now somewhat complicated Balkan region, for which the support of the National Socialist Party must be obtained. There is only one legal political party in Germany now, so Lin Wei does not go to the party headquarters. Anyway, it is the same to go to the Reichstag. The 600 members are all members of the National Socialist Party. Although they usually cannot see those mobile phone-raising machines, Lin Wei cannot deny that having these mobile-raising machines does make it much more convenient for them to do things. Although the government is in name only, for many people, no government is the best government!
