Obviously, today's speech was not what Li Le had originally prepared. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info's original lecture was about industry, and it was a lecture that encouraged everyone to keep working hard.

It's a pity that Li Le feels that he shouldn't whitewash the peace, nor should he hide any failures. What he wants is to go all out to win the state of unity, not to deceive his superiors and subordinates.

"We must overcome Britain to wash away the shame we have today! We must defeat Britain in order to be able to let our comrades who died today rest in peace! Li Le waved his fist and roared loudly.

After calming down, Li Le put down his arm, tidied up his military uniform, and then spoke slowly, talking about something that seemed unrelated: "On the battlefield in France, I personally promoted more than a dozen marshals!" These marshals are the best soldiers of the Empire! ”

Then he suddenly changed the topic and said loudly: "Now, I find that I have been promoted too little!" I'm still a lot less marshal! I also need some marshals to conquer England! ”

"I've prepared the marshal's scepter for you, then...... Generals of the Empire, warriors of the Empire...... Who? Will you wash away my shame and conquer England? Li Le didn't speak for too long, and directly after the question, he gave up the position of the podium.

But in front of him, countless German soldiers raised their arms and shouted loudly, using all their strength: "I! I! I! ”

"Victory! Germany! Li Le raised his arm, raised his chin, and whispered.

Some of the people under the steps heard Li Le's closing words, and some didn't hear this gentle blessing. However, everyone responded to Li Le's actions.

Their shouts almost knocked off the roof of the venue, and their arms were as dense as a wood: "Victory! Monarch! ”

……

After the speech, Li Le had just returned to his resting room when he saw Admiral Raeder with several admirals following in with an embarrassed expression.

The other party stood upright at the door and saluted, and when he saw the Führer waving his hand, he withdrew his arm and stood in front of Li Le.

"My Führer! For the failure in the Mediterranean, our Navy has an unshirkable responsibility. Raeder was the first to take the blame.

He had to show an attitude because the pressure on him has been increasing lately. Many of the military's top brass were questioning the Navy and Raeder's ability to command the German Navy.

In order to defeat the British, the Air Force had already lost thousands of pilots. Hundreds of planes crashed in England, and every day people died in foreign lands.

The German Army fought bloody battles in Africa, more than a dozen battles of all sizes, and fought from Tobruk to Cairo in one go! Five thousand coffins have crossed the ocean to return to the motherland, and how many of them contain only one piece of clothing?

But what about the Navy? The Navy has several warships and has just taken the aircraft carriers of the Air Force, but it is only doing some kind of training in the Baltic Sea -- this is simply a passive avoidance of war!

The main reason for this defeat was that there was no German naval force in the Mediterranean, and this kind of pain made everyone feel that the German navy should stand up!

"You are responsible?" Li Le raised his eyes and looked at Raeder, who was a little embarrassed, and the German admirals behind Marshal Raeder.

Li Le sneered: "You think you are responsible, it's better to remind me that I should be responsible for this failure!" ”

Raeder's face turned white when he heard the Führer in front of him say this to himself, and the generals behind him didn't know what to say.

As the Führer, as Hitler, Li Lecai didn't care about their faces, but still opened his mouth and continued: "It was I who ordered the submarine forces to be used intensively and blockade the British mainland without going to other seas to fight!" ”

As he spoke, he pointed his finger at himself and continued: "It is I who ordered the naval fleet not to go to war and to continue to train in the Baltic Sea!" ”

"Whoever says anything weird, let him come to me!" Li Le slapped it on the coffee table, which frightened many naval officers.

"Come, as an admiral, tell me, what is the priority of the navy in the Mediterranean operation?" Li Le stared at Raeder with a pair of eyes and asked.

After asking, he added: "Just from a month ago!" Let's start with a month ago, when the North African land was not yet decided! ”

"Ensuring the sea lines of communication, ensuring the normal operation of the transportation lines." Raeder was not a fool, and quickly answered Li Le's question.

"What else?" Li Le was not satisfied with Raeder's answer, and continued to ask.

Raeder could only continue to answer stubbornly: "Look for an opportunity to fight the British Mediterranean Fleet and cut off the other side's sea supply lines." ”

Naval warfare is nothing more than a few basic operational purposes, seizing sea supremacy and then using sea supremacy, preventing the enemy from using the sea, and using the sea better for yourself...... This sums up the purpose of most naval battles.

As for land support operations, these are all added value attached to the seizure and use of sea supremacy.

"If we can cut off the enemy's supply lines in the Mediterranean with a powerful army, why should I waste my precious navy on the enemy's consumption?" Li Le opened his mouth and asked Raeder.

Without waiting for Raeder to answer, Li Le continued to ask: "Now, we have forced the British Mediterranean Fleet to be cornered and leave the Mediterranean region, which can be regarded as completing the task of protecting the Mediterranean communication line, right?" ”

"Yes, my Führer!" Raeder opened his mouth awkwardly and replied.

"Since our combat purpose has been achieved, is there any difference between whether we invest in the navy or not?" After Li Le heard the answer, he asked again.

His questions came one after another, one after another: "It's just that in the process, we have lost something, and we have suffered defeats in this regard, but strategically, we have accomplished all the operational objectives, haven't we?" ”

"That's right, my Führer." Raeder didn't know what to say, so he could only passively answer Li Le's question.

"With the navy, we will be able to annihilate the British Mediterranean Fleet?" Li Le spoke again and asked such an embarrassing question for the navy.

Then he stood up and tilted his head to look at Raeder's cheeks, which were already flushed with embarrassment: "Or do you dare to assure me that your navy can completely annihilate the British Mediterranean fleet without losses?" ”

"But, my Führer...... Submarine forces ...... "Raeder, of course, is not a fool and certainly knows that it is simply impossible for his surface ship forces to go to the Mediterranean Sea to carry out tasks.

However, he was interested in the German submarine force, as long as five submarines were sent to the Mediterranean, maybe this time the British fleet would lose some warships.

Of course, this result was only hypothetical, and he could not guarantee that the submarines would achieve their success, but he thought that the German Navy should at least give it a try.

"It's not what I want to sink the British warship." Li Le waved his hand and interrupted Raeder's proposal: "What I want is a submarine force to sink merchant ships and sink transport ships!" ”

"Unless it's a drop-by, or the benefits are too big for people to refuse." Li Le stretched out his hand and patted Raeder's shoulder: "Otherwise, I'd rather let the submarine sink the enemy's transport ship than send them to attack the British warship!" ”

Just kidding, let the submarine trek across the ocean to hunt in the Mediterranean, and sink nothing more than an ordinary transport ship.

This kind of thing can be done in the Atlantic, and the key is that the submarine is close to the supply port and can be used to the maximum effect.

Therefore, Li Le was reluctant to disperse his submarine forces, and he was taboo to let Dönitz disperse his forces, because he knew that the good days of German submarines were only in the recent period.

If this period is missed, the invincibility of German submarines will be terminated, and the British convoy will begin to enter the state -- Li Le's strategy of cutting off supplies to the British mainland will be bankrupt!

Are you kidding? In order to take advantage of a little advantage, he gave up the grand strategic direction at his fingertips, and Li Le was an idiot to make this choice.

Because he is a plug-in player who has traveled to this plane in the 21st century, although he can't control everything, he can find ways to avoid following the same path.

He knew that if he followed the same path, he would fail in the end. So what he had to do was to try a different option.

The German submarines scattered in the Atlantic Ocean were Hitler's choice, which meant that Li Le would not choose this option. If Li Le wants to ensure that he has more submarines in the Atlantic, he must have more submarines than Germany in history.

Not just as much, but as many as possible, in addition to deploying the increased production of submarines to the Atlantic, he also wants to make sure that these submarines immediately use the most advanced wolf pack tactics!

Aircraft flying from France would patrol all the seas within their reach, indicating targets for German submarines, and German submarines flocking out to attack British merchant ships had become the most common sight in the Atlantic. During this time, because of Li Le's persistence, the number of British transport ships sunk was more than twice as many as in history.

Li Le wanted to starve the British to death, trap the British, and he had to be prepared to land and bloody the British Isles when he was trapped and starved to death.

This is also the reason why he has been refining the Sea Lion plan to this day, which is why he has continued to train the landing force and start building more transport ships, which is why he continues to send out the air force to entangle with the British despite the loss of pilots and aircraft!
