66 to the end
"Bastard! If it's not that I'm crazy, then you guys who report the results of the airstrikes are crazy! Churchill, in his office, roared in desperation at a large group of bureaucratic soldiers. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Just, just now, he learned part of the results of the Luftwaffe attack, but when he only heard half of it, he was in no mood to listen to it anymore.
The slightest loss of anti-aircraft artillery positions, but also the loss of about 70 weapons of various calibers.
This was already a huge loss for the British army, which had just experienced the Dunkirk retreat and lost its heavy equipment.
At the same time, the airfield of the Air Force was attacked, and together with the downed oncoming aircraft, the British lost more than 70 aircraft in just one engagement.
How can this huge loss be compensated? No one has been able to tell Churchill yet, but the losses were only an appetizer for Churchill's anger.
What really made him desperate was the remaining staple food! The Luftwaffe destroyed the British secret weapon, the radar, and annihilated the radar along with the radar station, including the radar crew, in one fell swoop.
It will not take long to produce radar, but how long will it take to train qualified radar troops and establish corresponding radar stations?
It was reported that it would take at least a month for Churchill to throw the document on the other side's chest and ask loudly: "What will be left of Britain in a month's time?" ”
Yes, if you look at this intensity of bombing, what will be left of Britain in a month? The ruins and desperate and hungry civilians are desperate to think about......
If the loss of radar brought Churchill close to a rampage, the attack on the airport and the aircraft parts production plant made Churchill desperate.
Originally, Britain planned to produce 1,500 aircraft for combat use in August, but because of this air raid, this production plan now seems to be greatly reduced.
The manufacturer of the landing gear and some parts of the fuselage of the Spitfire not only lost the workshop and equipment, but also lost half of the workers.
Similarly, the factory, which was secretly supplying parts for the new bomber Lancaster bomber, was attacked and almost completely lost its production capacity.
And the supplier of parts for the Hampton bomber also suffered heavy losses, losing almost a fifth of its production capacity.
The deadliest thing here is the impact of the Spitfire, and it is said that because these parts are not available on time, the production of the classic Spitfire will drop by at least a third in August.
With so many aircraft consumed, but unable to replenish more, Britain's grasp of air supremacy has reached a precarious point.
"Sir! By the end of August, our fighter unit may have to drop to 600 units. "An Air Force officer reported a desperate conclusion.
If the number of fighters that can be used on the front line is reduced by 100 in a month, then if the battle lasts for two months, the loss of air supremacy is almost certain.
Of course, the actual situation may be better than this estimate, but who can guarantee that some hopeless change will not occur again?
After Churchill heard this report, the green tendons on his forehead jumped, and he gritted his teeth for a long time before he could barely suppress the anger in his heart.
He had an urge to kill, and this aura of rage spread within his body, devouring what was left of his sanity.
"Mole! This is definitely the result of a spy leak! A cabinet minister pounded the table angrily and yelled at several officers of the intelligence service.
It is also difficult for him to be hysterical, after all, in this case a fool can also see that the Luftwaffe is simply well aware of the deployment of the British.
This is something that the Germans know very well, and even some British high-ranking people themselves do not remember clearly, and they know it in great detail.
The other side even knew about the British bomber production plant, fighter jet parts factory, and top-secret radar station hidden in the countryside.
"Sir, this is definitely not a departmental issue." An officer in charge of intelligence said sensibly.
His colleague also nodded, and continued: "There are too many departments involved this time, and there are so many secrets that a certain department cannot fully grasp. ”
This is absolutely justified, because the hidden work of the factories is assigned to the industrial sector, and although the military is also involved, only the aircraft manufacturing department can intervene.
However, the aircraft manufacturing department is only responsible for the management of the factory, and it does not know much about the airport, so it is impossible to leak information about the exact location of the airport.
In the same way, there are indeed quite a few officers who know about airfields, but not many of these officers know that there is such a secret weapon as radar, and it is even certain that there are people who know all the radar stations - not even one!
It's easy to say that those who know factories and airports know all that, but those who know the precise location of all radar stations...... I'm afraid I'll have to ask a few air generals such as Dowding.
This in itself is a hilarious paradox - if someone suspects that their air commander has betrayed intelligence to an enemy country, is there anyone in that country who is not worthy of suspicion?
The turmoil about spies at the top of the British leadership that had just subsided immediately fermented again because of this air raid.
"One department can't be comprehensive, that is, the Germans have a well-developed intelligence network in our country?" Hearing what the intelligence services said, Churchill raised his eyebrows and asked fiercely.
This rhetorical question immediately silenced the entire office, and everyone looked at their prime minister, not knowing what kind of bloody storm they would face next.
As everyone knows, the leaks about the sinking of the battleship Resolve and the damage to the H fleet have not yet been investigated, and now in addition to the navy, the air force is also going to be caught in the intelligence storm.
The Navy, because of its own self-examination, has not been able to come out of the shadows and react to Germany's aggressiveness in the Mediterranean.
Could it be that the Air Force could not escape the influence of censorship, and at this critical moment when the Germans attacked Britain on a large scale, they should first go all out to find a "house thief"?
By the time the thieves have found it, maybe the German army has already landed, right? At this time, isn't it self-defeating to investigate spies?
But no one could say anything against it, because if this terrible group of espionage was not found, would not any British countermeasures be in the eyes of the Germans?
"What? Afraid to continue checking? At this time, are you still afraid to check? Churchill asked loudly as he slapped the table.
"The radar station that we rebuilt, will the Germans know? What if the enemy strikes again? He looked at all his men who were close to his mouth and asked in a loud voice.
"We've relocated the factory, but what are we going to do if the relocationable factory is bombed again?" Seeing that everyone didn't speak, he continued to ask.
The question he asked, and one of the questions that everyone was worried about, was the radar station not a small project, and after it was rebuilt with time and effort, it continued to be a target for the Germans?
The same is true for the relocation of factories. Although it is possible to move farther and farther north, the amount of work can be astonishing.
If it takes time and effort, in the end, the Germans, because of their intelligence superiority, smash the British spray cans in one go, and this war will not have to be fought.
So it's an endless loop, and any reorganizing the deployment of the counterattack until the enemy spy is found can be said to be in vain.
Even if one is not done well, it will fall into the trap of the Germans, lose more troops, send Britain into the pocket of the German army, and put the whole of Britain on a road of no return with constant blood loss.
"It seems that this is a very hidden German spy organization, starting from the radar station! After all, there are only a limited number of people who know this. The officer in charge of the intelligence agency advised Churchill.
Churchill didn't care much about it, nodded and set the nature of the matter: "Don't just consider the background of these people, a thorough investigation, including their political leanings!" ”
If Churchill had dared to mention this in the past, the intelligence services would probably have refused. After all, this kind of order, which has a serious tendency towards political censorship, is suspected of attacking one's own political opponents.
But now, Churchill's order felt right to all. Such a shockingly large spy network was no longer possible for the Germans to set up on their own.
This is almost a huge force formed by some people in Britain who took the initiative to collude with Germany!
"Pay attention to everyone who has ever mentioned surrender or peace talks, and if necessary, take control!" Churchill was so angry that he could no longer care about his own political bottom line.
"Sir, if you review the air generals, do you want General Dow Ding to be temporarily isolated?" The officers of the intelligence services had to ask Churchill for confirmation of everything because of the importance of the matter.
"......" Churchill had an urge to slap people, if Dowding was arrested at this time, then who would command the British air defense operation?
However, he could not easily guarantee a certain person, and he did not dare to guarantee the absolute safety of these generals given his political leanings and his approval of the German peace talks.
He has been made suspicious by the "German intelligence network", and he is now unable to correctly judge the loyalty of every British high-level.
So in his opinion, anyone can betray, and he even feels that if in the eyes of others, he, the prime minister, is suspicious.
Thinking of this, he had to give an order that made everyone's eyes widen in the office: "Check! Everyone should check! Start with me! Everyone has to be censored! ”
"Uh...... Yes, sir! Well, tomorrow I will bring someone to your office......" Seeing that Churchill was serious, the intelligence officer replied with a somewhat broken salute.
