Although Leon had repeatedly shown the world his ideas that were ahead of his time, and had been proven to be almost always right, Raeder was not optimistic about the so-called amphibious assault ships and helicopters, which he believed were only used for communications, reconnaissance, and emergency treatment.

"With all due respect, Führer, helicopters are really not suitable for combat. Because it flies so slowly, my dumbest pilot can easily take it down with a fighter jet. Raeder advised Leon, "Not to mention the fact that there are still dense anti-aircraft artillery positions on British soil." You'd better think again, what, uh, amphibious assault ships on those three? How good is it to switch to an aircraft carrier? ”

"My marshal, you should heal your wounds in peace." Leon smiled and shook his head, "When it's finished, you'll know how useful it is." ”

"Okay." Leon's attitude in the case was resolute, and Raeder couldn't say anything more, but his mood was still very beautiful, not only because he was promoted to marshal, but also because he had 3 more battleships and 6 aircraft carriers under his command.

Speaking of Dunkirk, Operation Generator has entered the fourth day, the Allied defense line in many areas has been completely destroyed by the crazy attack of Rundstedt, the original encircled 600,000 Allied troops have become more than 200,000 prisoners of war, at the same time, Rundstedt's forward troops have arrived in Dunkirk, and even some German troops have infiltrated the city of Dunkirk in the form of small detachments, waiting for the opportunity to destroy many Allied facilities.

However, Churchill's Operation Generator had achieved its intended goal, and in four days, the Royal Navy and civilian naval forces had successfully withdrawn more than 40,000 British Expeditionary Force soldiers and more than 12,000 Allied soldiers to the British mainland.

It can be said that Operation Generator has achieved more results than expected.

But Churchill couldn't laugh at all.

"Royal Navy...... Royal Navy, it's over? Churchill's lips trembled as he asked Admiral Dudley, who was standing at his desk.

"Prime Minister, this is the third time you've asked me." Dudley bowed his head and replied, "All of our capital ships were sunk by the Germans, and only four aircraft carriers returned home, but all of them were wounded......"

"Alas......" Churchill looked ten years older than when he set out for the Royal Navy.

He served as Lord Chancellor of the Navy at its most glorious days, and when he became Prime Minister, he sent the Royal Navy to hell with his own hands.

This was undoubtedly a huge blow to him.

"I didn't expect the Royal Navy to be buried in my hands...... Churchill shook his head bitterly and said with a wry smile, "I am really a sinner of the British Empire......"

"Don't say that, Mr. Prime Minister." Dudley advised, "None of us want this outcome, but given the circumstances, we must let the fleet attack, or the expeditionary force will be ......"

"Alas......" Churchill sighed again, "what about the current movements of the German Navy?" ”

"According to the information of our agents in Den Held, the main forces of the German High Seas Fleet have all returned to the port of Den Held." Dudley replied, "But three heavy cruisers have been lost, and the General Staff speculates that they were probably on the route of Operation Strike Generator in the Strait of Dover." ”

"Alas, how many troops have withdrawn to the mainland today?" Churchill asked.

"Today...... Less than 3,000 people ......"

"Huh? Why is there only that? Churchill asked suspiciously, "It's noon now, and at least someone has been withdrawn, right?" ”

"Because German submarines in the strait are becoming more and more rampant, thirteen ships have been sunk by German submarines in reports received today." Dudley wiped his sweat, "It should be Dönitz's large army that has arrived." ”

"His army has arrived, but what about ours?" Churchill slapped the table angrily.

He had already sacrificed the navy in order to withdraw the army, but now this path of life that sacrificed the navy was about to collapse, how could he bear it?

"What about our destroyers, frigates? If I'm not mistaken, we have at least 60 destroyers deployed in the strait?! You are now telling me that German submarines are too rampant, are our warships eating dry food? ”

"It's not that our soldiers eat dry food, it's that the enemy is too cunning." Dudley cried with a sad face, "According to the captain of the returning destroyer, the warships of the Navy can successfully discover German submarines, but they are often ambushed and besieged by other submarines when they chase and kill German submarines, and even some arrogant German captains will rely on their people to surface to fight artillery battles with our warships after surrounding our warships......

"And how many more people can we evacuate?! The German Army Group A has put the knife on our necks, and many troops on the front line have surrendered in formation, and if this continues, the remaining 400,000 Allied troops in Dunkirk will all enter the prisoner of war camp in Lyon! Churchill gritted his teeth and said.

"But haven't we already successfully completed the generator operation?" Dudley was stunned, "Even we brought back more than 20,000 people than expected......"

"But that's not enough now! The original plan to evacuate 30,000 men was based on the Royal Navy's ability to fight in the English Channel! "But now the Royal Navy is completely gone!" The Royal Air Force alone will not be able to stop the German landing war! We must deploy more than 1 million troops on the front line of the English Channel to stop the German attack! ”

"It shouldn't be difficult to mobilize 1 million people, right?" Dudley asked tentatively.

"It's certainly not difficult to mobilize 1 million people! Truth be told, the Army can now make up 1 million men. But the problem is that these 1 million people are all recruits! The army doesn't have enough veterans to be the foundation, and it all depends on new recruits, isn't that a head for the Germans?! "Churchill looked at Dudley like an idiot.

Truth be told, Dudley was very talented at leading naval operations, but he really didn't know anything about land warfare.

"So, you have to maintain the Y route from Dunkirk to the mainland! I'll allocate as many destroyers and frigates as I can. Churchill stared at Dudley, "Before the Germans advance to the shores of Dunkirk and drive all the remaining Allied troops into the prisoner of war camps, we will at least have to withdraw another 100,000 troops to the mainland!" Otherwise, the German Führer could have 'summoned' us in the burning Buckingham Palace! ”
