Chapter 56: The Bandit Possessed by Clausewitz III

Chen Dao repeatedly looked at this newly released battle plan several times, to be precise, it was conceived, and nodded with satisfaction.

"The skeleton is already there, and the remaining problem is for the army, navy and air force to fill in the flesh and blood. With this plan, Marshal Raeder should be worried about how to take out more British ships, and Mr. Ge can raise his eyebrows again. I'm afraid that the only one who is unhappy is Keitel's echo worm, but it doesn't matter if he is happy or not, I don't know him well. ”

After checking the new operational concept for the last time, Chen Dao took a pen and wrote a string of German letters on the top of the white paper -- "Thanksgiving Plan."

Putting down the pen, Chen Dao picked up the phone and dialed Studenter, "You inform Marshal Goering and ask him to come to Kiel as soon as possible, and I will discuss a new battle plan with him and Marshal Raeder, and you will also come." ”

"A new plan is out?" Student was both happy and worried, happy that he finally didn't have to be devastated by Goering's phone call every day. The question of concern is whether the plan of "Your Excellency Brother-in-law" will satisfy Goering.

"Yes, it just worked out. Remember to tell him to inform Marshal Raeder in advance before leaving. Also, in this battle, the German Navy and the Luftwaffe will be the protagonists. Chen Dao carefully told Student, and hung up the phone after receiving Student's affirmative reply.

Göring's reaction speed was absolutely inversely proportional to his bulky size, and within twenty minutes Student called to say that Göring and he would be flying to Kiel in two hours, and Chen Dao looked at his watch and agreed with Student to wait for them at four o'clock in the afternoon in the conference room of the naval headquarters.

After more than two months, when Goering saw Chen Dao again, his heart was like an overturned seasoning box, and various feelings such as regret and shame came to his heart together.

Seeing Chen Dao's sunken cheeks, his perfunctory salute, and his eyes that did not make any communication with him, the feeling of distress instantly occupied Goering's body and mind.

After exchanging pleasantries with Raeder, Goering, Raeder and the others sat down at the conference table and listened to Chen Dao's explanation.

Chen Dao walked to the map of Norway that had been hung in front of the conference room and explained the plan to Goering and the others, because it was only an operational concept, and did not include operational details such as troop deployment, Chen Dao took more than ten minutes to explain.

"I have already listened to General Rosen once before you came, and I very much approve of this plan." Raeder said.

Goering nodded slightly, with a thoughtful expression on his face, then slapped the table and pointed a finger at Raeder and Chen Daobi, "Now there is only one problem left, how to persuade the Führer to adopt our plan." ”

"I believe in the discernment of the Führer and the High Command, and this plan is clearly superior to the plan of the Weser Exercise, and they will definitely adopt it." Raeder said.

"I suppose we'd better go to the Führer together and recommend this plan to the Führer, otherwise Keitel and Brauchitsch wouldn't have done anything?"

"・・・・・・ you mean?" Raeder asked, puzzled.

"They are likely to veto this plan out of selfishness, and Keitel is the one who developed the plan for Exercise Weser, and you think he will be happy if his plan is rejected?" Goering said.

Raeder subconsciously wanted to say that your idea is too dark, but then he thought that Chen Dao's plan would allow the navy to avoid possible heavy casualties, so he acquiesced to Goering's opinion.

"We inform the Führer today that tomorrow we will go to Berlin to meet him." Goering said.

After the meeting, Chen Dao left Goering and Studdent.

Goering excitedly thought that Chen Dao wanted to reconcile with him, but Chen Dao's first words covered Goering's heart with a layer of ice.

"There are spies in the top echelons of our Air Force Command, and this spy has had a powerful destructive effect on the development of the Air Force, and I think we need to find a way to find out about him as soon as possible."

"Impossible!" Goering jumped up from his chair and shouted with a blank face. Student's expression also changed drastically, and then he asked, "Why do you say that?" What is the evidence? ”

"Yes, where is the evidence?" Goering asked.

"The Naval Aviation Command has received an order for the instructors of the Fourth Air Force School to return to the Air Force at the end of April to participate in operations, and I guess they are going to participate in the airborne operation against the Netherlands, is my guess right or not?" Chen Dao asked.

"We do have plans to fly into the Netherlands, but I don't know if the pilots of the transport planes and gliders are instructors from aviation schools?" Student said.

"I don't know if they were going to take part in the airborne operation in the Netherlands, I had to go back and ask General Kesselring of the Second Air Force to find out that it was his theater of operations. Even if these instructors were sent to participate in the Dutch campaign, what was the problem? Goering said.

"The problem is very serious, and now that the war has just begun, we have lined up the instructors on the battlefield. Since they are on the battlefield, there will definitely be casualties, and if there are casualties, they will have an immeasurable impact on the training of pilots. Once the war becomes protracted, our air force will definitely have the dilemma of having planes but no pilots, or it can only send some rookies who are not fully trained to participate in the war, why? Because there are not enough instructors to train them. I think that the act of sending instructors into battle is definitely a conspiracy against the Air Force, and it is necessary to investigate this matter now and confirm whether this is the individual behavior of the Second Air Force, or whether it is the case of all air groups, if all air forces are like this, then the problem is far more serious than I think. Chen Dao said.

"Wait, I remembered. After the start of the Polish campaign, Jeshunek proposed that the aviation school be placed under the jurisdiction of the commanders of the individual air units, in order to enable the air groups to maximize the number of pilots at critical moments. Could this be a conspiracy? Will he be a spy? Goering asked.

Jeshunek? Chief of the General Staff of the Air Force? Chen Dao immediately remembered Yeshunek's identity.

"From what I know about the chief of staff, I don't think he's a spy." Student said.

"I don't think he's a spy either." Goering said.

"Would a spy say I'm a spy on my face?" Chen Dao said.

"Even if he's not a spy, he's definitely a short-sighted guy, and I think it's better to conduct a secret investigation into him because the nature of this matter is so bad."

"Well, I'll have the Gestapo conduct a secret investigation of him when I get back." Goering said.

"Also, I won't let go of those instructors at the Fourth Aviation School." Chen Dao said. "You'd better check now that the pilots who carried out the airborne plan to land in the Netherlands are the instructors of the aviation school, and if they are really the instructors of the aviation school, I would rather cancel the attack on the Netherlands than keep those instructors."

"Okay, I'll check later." Goering said.

After Goering finished speaking, he quietly touched Student with his elbow, and Student remembered Göring's explanation to him on the way to Kiel, and opened his mouth to invite: "Heinz, we haven't seen each other for a long time, let's have dinner together in the evening." ”

Chen Dao stared at Student, but quietly looked at Goering out of the corner of his eye. Without giving any face, he said: "I have something very important to deal with at night, so I won't accompany me, let's do it another day." ”

Looking at Chen Dao's departing back, Goering muttered discouragedly, "He still won't forgive me." ”
