Returning home from the Navy Headquarters, Fang Yan couldn't calm down in his heart for a long time. Fang Yan realized that he might well have triggered a fatal butterfly effect: the prudence and calmness that Hitler had long maintained, and relied on to win victory after victory, seemed to have dissipated considerably as the Führer's carols spread.

Today, Hitler has undoubtedly reached the most glorious peak of his life, and no words can describe the series of earth-shattering victories of Germany under his leadership, and it is no different from a miracle in the eyes of ordinary people. Although Germany's success today is due to a combination of countless factors, Fang Yan was worried that Hitler would be dazzled by this brilliant glory, thinking that he was really an invincible and great commander, and that he could wipe out all enemies with a snap of his fingers. After all, Fang Yan is the only one who travels through the country, and everyone else will not take the situation of Germany dominating Europe today as a matter of course, and nothing to be celebrated and celebrated!

Historically, Hitler was increasingly inflated by the praise of Keitel, Goering, Ribbentrop, Bauman and other sycophants, and thought that he could command the German Army in battle; So after the defeat in the Battle of Moscow, he kicked Brauchitsch away and left himself commander-in-chief. In this plane, although Ge Pang has disappeared, Fang Yan's ode to Hitler's praise and praise is even greater. What's more, today Germany has overturned the seemingly impregnable mountain of the British Navy and completed the great dream that even Napoleon had never realized, which will surely fuel Hitler's complacent pride even more!

Thinking that soon after Wärth would launch Hitler's ideas and completely push this god-making movement to its peak, Fang Yan couldn't help but feel nervous in his heart, and for the first time he had an irrepressible worry about the future fate of Germany. Because once Hitler lost himself in the midst of countless praises, the consequences were almost immeasurable: there was no one in Germany who could shake his majesty, and what he was determined to do would be carried out!

"We have to step up." Fang Yan's eyes flashed, and he whispered silently in his heart.

The next morning, Fang Yan woke up early as usual, and to his surprise, Raeder, who he had only met last night, called again. Raeder asked Fang Yan to come to the Navy Headquarters within 30 minutes, and then go with him to the Prime Minister's Office for a military meeting. When Fang Yan was stunned and asked why he was going, Raeder said a little bluntly that he didn't understand either, this was a point that the Führer's adjutant had specifically instructed him on the phone just now.

Fang Yan slowly put down the telephone receiver, and the surprise on his face couldn't dissipate for a long time. In recent years, Fang Yan has been in and out of the Chancellery quite a few times, and he has attended no more than 80 or half hundred high-level naval meetings, but it seems that he has never participated in a military conference led by Hitler and put forward any strategic views to him. In addition to his own soft-spoken people at that time, the more important thing is that in the face of Hitler, who had an explosive IQ in the early stage, Fang Yan did not need to make any beaks. And now, after being promoted to the military rank, he finally ushered in the stage of performance.

After sorting out his thoughts and concepts, Fang Yan came to the Navy Headquarters Building with great expectations. Seeing Raeder, Fang Yan knew that there were only 3 admirals participating in the meeting, except for himself and the other party, it was Milch, the commander of the naval aviation. Since there was not much time, Raeder did not ask any more questions about what had happened this morning. He just glanced at Fang Yan deeply, and then took the lead and got into the car.

The flower hall was bright and wide, the corridor was magnificent and spacious, and pushing open the purple-red solid wood door, Fang Yan saw many familiar faces in the Führer's office. Brauchitsch and Halder, the two Army Chiefs, sat on the sofa and whispered, and the Army Commander Speerer interjected from time to time; Keitel and Yodel stood in front of the long table, and next to them stood Thomas, a general who also belonged to OK. When Fang Yan and his entourage entered, three distinct forces were formed in the room: the army, the navy, and Hitler's high command, which was full of alienation and coldness.

The sound of steady footsteps sounded faintly, and a moment later Hitler's slightly gaunt figure appeared in the doorway. This time, he was followed only by the military adjutant, Lieutenant Colonel Schmunt, and the so-called "Führer's Shadow" finally disappeared from Hitler's side, who apparently did not have any qualifications to participate in military meetings of this rank. In the sound of saluting in unison, Fang Yan suddenly felt that the cold atmosphere around him had disappeared. People seem to have found their backbone, and they have begun to take him as the core to correct their positions.

"Generals, we need to study combat operations against Britain today." Hitler's voice was calm and without any superfluous words. With a wave of his hand, Adjutant Schmund had hung an up-to-date large-scale map of Western Europe on the wall, clearly showing France being split in two, representing Germany's color patches extending to the eastern shore of the Atlantic.

"Since Britain refused to accept peace, I was ready to launch a landing operation in England in mid-September to truly and thoroughly solve all the threats to Germany in the West. At present, the Supreme High Command has preliminarily planned that the first batch of troops will land 13 divisions on the British; After destroying the enemy forces near the beachhead, the force was gradually increased to 40 divisions in order to achieve the capture of the entire British territory. Hitler looked around at the crowd in front of him and said unhurriedly, "What is the attitude of the army and navy towards this plan, and if it needs to be changed, where should it begin?" ”

Hearing Hitler's words, Fang Yan waited almost intently for the response of the surrounding generals. He was somewhat excited to realize that he had come into contact with a piece of the historic Sea Lion Project to invade Britain, and that he would soon be able to get a glimpse of it in its true form in the fog of all opinions. After a few moments, Halder, the army chief of staff wearing disc glasses, took two steps forward. He pulled out a more detailed map of operations from the document bag he was carrying, and then laid it out in front of Hitler and began to explain it.

"In total, our troops annihilated more than 200,000 British soldiers in the Dunkirk encirclement. According to the calculations of the Army General Staff, Britain will not be able to build up more than 8 integrated divisions in the next three months, and even with the addition of the Anzac Corps and the Canadian Forces, there will only be about 10 divisions that are truly capable of combat. Although their reserves will be as many as 200~3 million people, they are all militias that are severely ill-equipped and trained, and even the Italian army can easily defeat them. After the Army General Staff exercised, the first landing force had 10 divisions to achieve the initial tactical objectives and establish solid landing sites in three areas in southern Britain. ”

The Hardeh was slow and composed, and it was evident that the battle plan had been drawn up and prepared: "Dover in the southeast corner of England, which is closest to the French continental shelf, is an ideal place for the main attack, and our army is ready to land with five divisions on the beach between Ramsgate and Bakershill, and attack London along the railway line. And in Brighton, just south of London, our army is also preparing to put in 3 divisions as a flank to contain the British troops, waiting for an opportunity to advance to London. Finally, at Weymouth, 165 kilometers to the west, the two divisions landed by our army would cut off the connection between London and a large area in the southwest corner of England, making it impossible for the British army to flee to the southwest, and greatly speeding up the progress of the campaign. ”

"Of course, 10 divisions of our army can only guarantee the defeat of the enemy's organized resistance in a frontal manner. If you want to further advance and occupy the entire territory of LinkedIn, you need to land at least 25 more divisions in the next 1 week, so that the total strength will increase to 35~38 divisions. If the navy can do the job and provide enough supplies, within six weeks the flag of the Empire will be flying on the northernmost snow-capped hill of Scotland. Halder said confidently.

Knowing that the first batch of troops planned by the army was less than he had estimated, and that he was confident enough to guarantee victory, Hitler couldn't help but smile, and suddenly felt that Halder's thin face looked much more pleasing to the eye. Hitler paused, and was about to ask Raeder what he thought, only to find his commander-in-chief's face clouded, with a hint of bitterness or mockery on his lips.

"General Halder, it's a pity that the Navy can't meet the Army's force projection needs for this battle plan." Raeder spoke slowly, his tone still gentle and modest as an old-fashioned traditional soldier, but his gaze was condensed and sharp, looking directly at Halder and Hitler like a sword out of its sheath. Without waiting for the other party to react, Raeder took the command rod directly from the Führer's lieutenant Schmunt, and then pointed at the map on the wall.

"From Ramsgate to Weymouth, the Army's frontal offensive was more than 350 kilometers wide, and the Navy could not cover such a wide body of water, first of all, and more importantly, the landing force was far beyond the Navy's transport capacity. Moreover, this process will also be conditioned by weather factors, and once the strait is full of waves or fog, it will have extremely bad consequences for the entire landing and transportation work. ”

"The weather in the English Channel is similar to that in the North Sea, with the exception of mid-to-late May and early October, which are generally harsh. Light fog begins in mid-October and becomes dense at the end of the month, with visibility generally below 4 km and generally accompanied by high waves of 3 to 4 m. In such weather, not only could river barges not be able to dispatch at all, but even large ships could not unload supplies. Even if the first batch of troops successfully crossed the sea under favorable weather conditions, there is still no guarantee that the second and third groups of troops will be able to have the same favorable weather. ”

Raeder briefly explained the climatic constraints he had just mentioned, and finally returned to the operation itself: "The point is that the navy lacks the ships needed for landing operations, and there is a shortage of ships, a shortage of ships, a shortage of ships. Important things to say three times. ”()
