"And according to the next action plan of the High Command, this elite Allied force will definitely not allow them to return to the British mainland safely." Leon said and knocked on the Calais with his baton, and said to the generals, "So in order to deal with Churchill's retreat plan, the high command made two decisions after discussion, one is to ask General Rundstedt and General Guderian to step up the land offensive and destroy the defense of the Allied rearguard force as soon as possible to completely annihilate this force!" ”

"Yes! My Führer! Rundstedt and Guderian immediately got up and saluted.

"Second, the High Command has decided that the High Seas Fleet, led by Admiral Raeder, will once again advance out of the North Sea to prevent the British fleet from providing cover for their retreat." Leon continued.

"Huh?" Raeder was stunned, he thought that this meeting of the High Command was just a formality, after all, today's main discussion was about the army.

"The High Seas Fleet is going to attack?" Raeder asked suspiciously, "But we don't have enough naval bases on the front line to support the entire High Seas Fleet."

"Indeed, our Den Reach naval base in the North Sea was destroyed by a successful sneak attack by the British fleet some time ago due to some people's reasons, which deprived us of the only super-large deep-water naval base in the North Sea that can supply, repair and maintain more than 30 10,000-ton warships." Leon said, glancing at a man who was holding the rank of admiral, "But fortunately, our engineering units have lived up to the trust of the Empire, and with the extreme cooperation of the Dutch government, the first phase of the restoration of the Den Helder Naval Base was completed the day before yesterday. ”

"In this case, the High Seas Fleet is guaranteed to complete the mission!" Raeder also stood up and saluted Leon, "As long as the remnants of the British Home Fleet dare to come out, the High Seas Fleet will definitely find and force them to have a fleet decisive battle!" ”

"Well, but you have to be careful." Leon nodded and said, "According to the information of the Gestapo, the last two capital ships of the British Mediterranean Fleet - the aircraft carrier Athletic and the aircraft carrier Eagle - have been on their way home for a long time, and it is expected to arrive on the British mainland in three days. ”

"It's good to be in full swing, take this opportunity to catch them all." Raeder looked very confident, "The High Seas Fleet will go all out to find the British Home Fleet for a fleet decisive battle this time, and as for the blockade of the strait, I think it is appropriate to let Dönitz's submarine force go." ”

"It's a good fit." Leon smiled and nodded, "Then this is the end of the discussion on how to deal with the British withdrawal." ”

"Okay." When the generals heard this, they began to pack up their notes and other personal belongings, and prepared to leave the scene and return to their respective offices or troop stations.

"Let's talk about the next thing."

"Huh?" Everyone was stunned and unanimously opened the agenda in their hands.

If they remember correctly, the discussion of coping with the withdrawal of British troops should be the last thing.

"This matter was added on an ad hoc basis, so you don't have to look at the agenda in your hands." Leon said as he took a document from a secretary.

"The report I have in my hand is from the Den Helder Investigation Team. Oh, and all of you here probably don't know that this investigation team exists. As for this investigation team, which I directly ordered to be secretly formed, it was a joint effort of the Gestapo, the High Command's Office of Investigation and Evaluation, and Deutsche Bank to investigate the cause of the attack on the Den Helder naval base. Leon was still smiling, but anyone who really knew his temper understood that it was the calm before the storm.

"The reason why I formed it is because I don't understand why the well-prepared Denheld's naval base was attacked by the British naval formations?" As he spoke, Leon paused, glanced around at everyone present, and continued.

"In fact, as early as the beginning of the design of the Den Helder Naval Base, I considered that the Allies would sneak attack from the sea, so I specifically instructed the designer at that time to add a few more base warning radar stations when designing, and he did listen to my words to add two more long-range air-to-air warning radars and two long-range sea-based early warning radars on the basis of the original four radar stations, and even I went to see when I cut the ribbon at the Den Helder Naval Base, and these radar stations are indeed standing at the base."

"However, after the attack, I questioned all the people involved, including the base commander and the radar crew, and I asked them why the radar did not work as well as it should, and the British fleet that came in by sneak attack was not detected by an old biplane until it was less than 70 kilometers from the base. However, I was surprised by the answers they gave me. Leon smiled and looked at a colonel, "They all replied to me that there were no radars in those radar stations at all!" ”

The colonel, who was being watched by Leon, suddenly turned pale and trembled like chaff when he saw Leon look at him.

"Huh?!" Most of the other generals looked puzzled, "No radar? What's going on? ”

"Yes, I also wonder, why is there no radar in the radar station that has been built?" Leon put on a puzzled look, "Then I got the answer from Siemens - Siemens didn't receive a penny of payment, so it couldn't provide radar to the base. ”

"No payment?" Shacht was stunned, "But the Ministry of Finance has transferred all the money needed to build the base to the Ministry of Equipment." ”

"We did get paid." Speer replied, "The armament department has already distributed all this money to the project leader as planned, including the part needed to purchase the radar." ”

As he spoke, Speer turned his gaze to a colonel of the quartermaster logistics department next to him, only to find that his face was frighteningly pale.

Speer looked at the pale Gorman, startled, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with you?" Colonel Gorman? ”

"I suppose Colonel Gorman has something to say to me, right?" Leon looked at him with interest.

"Yuan ...... Monarch...... I was wrong...... I...... I shouldn't be greedy......" Gorman suddenly fell to his knees and crawled towards Lyon, but before he could touch Lyon, he was pinned to the ground by several heavily armed SS soldiers.

"What?" Speer's eyes widened, and he looked at the subordinate in front of him in disbelief and said, "You ......"

"Mr. Speer...... I...... I embezzled that part of the payment, and then prevaricated at the base and said that Siemens had no stock and the radar was still in production. Gorman, who was pressed to the ground, cried and said, "Führer, I was really wrong, spare my life, spare my life!" ”
