Chapter 11 Edge

"Reinhardt, what the hell is that, where did you get it, didn't I say that no one is allowed to bring weapons into the conference room?" Hitler's tone became harsher.

"Report to my Führer, this is not a weapon."

"What isn't this a weapon, then these...... What are these? Decorations? Hitler said, pointing to the rusty nails.

"My Führer, this is indeed not a weapon, this ...... This one...... It's just an ordinary ...... The legs of the chair, you see, are all there for the nails. ”

"Chair legs?"

Hitler looked at it again and felt that it was indeed a chair leg.

"Then why did you put him in your briefcase."

"Ah, that's a long story. You know, I sat in this chair to rest in between battles with the enemy in Arras. When I returned, I removed a chair leg to be used as a souvenir of the battle. I didn't expect to put it in my bag and forgot to take it out, but Marshal Goering wanted to duel with me in front of me, and I saw that he was holding a weapon, and I couldn't find the guy who took advantage of it for a while, so I remembered it in a hurry, and anyway he could still resist the marshal's scepter, so I took him out and used it. ”

"High!" Goebbels couldn't help but give a thumbs up secretly.

Even if you are powerful, you can even make up this kind of lie, and you say it so justifiably, it seems that I, the propaganda minister, still let you be the one. But do you really think the Führer will believe your nonsense?

But what made him break his glasses really happened.

"Oh, I see, then you shouldn't have used this to fight back, if I hadn't stopped it in time, Goering's blood would have been shed all over the place. Let's not talk about that for now. Hitler sat back in his seat.

He looked at Goering.

"Herman, sit down first, don't stand there like a log."

Then he said to Xu Jun: "Let's not talk about anything else, Reinhardt, you must explain to me now, why do you want to say that Marshal Goering is bragging?"

Now even an idiot can see that Hitler is favoring Xu Jun. The generals and marshals of the army immediately became energetic, and the leaders of the Nazis also began to look at Xu Jun with strange eyes. Everyone held their breath and waited for Xu Jun's answer.

"My Führer, I don't really want to insult Marshal Goering, but his proposal is really impossible."

"You talk nonsense!" Goering jumped again.

Hitler glanced at him and reprimanded him dissatisfiedly.

"You retract your stool for me, Marshal Goering. Shut your mouth and listen to Reinhardt. ”

Goering was stunned for a moment, he finally heard from Hitler's name for himself, Hitler was really angry this time. Goering had no choice but to retract back into his seat aggrievedly and continue to watch Xu Jun's luck.

"I'm not talking nonsense, honorable Marshal Goering. The suggestion you made made made a couple of key mistakes. So I don't think your plan is going to succeed, and if you follow your advice, it will cause us a lot of trouble. I must not allow the Third Reich to be put at risk of total defeat because of your arrogant boasting. After Xu Jun said these words calmly, there was another commotion in the audience.

The army officers all stared at each other in confusion, and the Nazi officers were dumbfounded.

Is it that serious, didn't it say that the situation was all over again? It's just a grab, is it necessary to say it so alarmist?

Hitler's face became solemn, he frowned, looked at the map in front of him, and after a while, he raised his head and said to Xu Jun.

"Go on, Reinhardt, where do you see that Goering's advice is dangerous for the present war?"

Xu Jun nodded solemnly. Then he said to Goering.

"May I ask Marshal Goering, do you now have a complete and comprehensive plan for the Air Force to destroy the enemy forces in the Canal Zone?"

Goering was stunned, and he squeaked and couldn't speak.

"That's not it! You dare to boast here that your air force can completely destroy the enemy before you have even developed a plan, what do you think of the regular military meeting of the High Command? Is it possible to open up a market? ”

After saying this, even Hitler felt that Goering seemed to be too irresponsible, and he began to consider whether he could continue to trust the fat man.

And those army officers were also cheering in their hearts, and finally someone could say what was in our hearts.

At this time, Goering hurriedly distinguished: "Although I have no plan now, I can ask the Air Force Command to draw one up immediately, and I can hand it over to the High Command tomorrow."

"Hmph, my dear Marshal Goering, you're bragging again." Xu Jun sneered and said: It's nine o'clock in the evening, even if you go to inform your staff right now, they can't make a detailed battle plan in one night, and besides, they use a combat method that they have never tried before, and use the air force alone to destroy the enemy forces scattered in a large complex area. ”

Hitler and the generals nodded when they heard this. Goering was speechless and spread out in his seat.

Xu Jun continued: "Even if you have already formulated this plan, what are the chances of realizing him? The terrain in the Canal Zone is complex, and the enemy has a large number of troops, not only has a large number of anti-aircraft guns, but also has built a lot of camouflage positions. Your aerial reconnaissance has been having a hard time identifying their camouflage. Without the cooperation and guidance of the army, how can you find the disguised enemy camp? Moreover, the enemy will also receive support and cover from their air forces, if they are attacked by enemy air forces. How can your bombers wipe out the enemy in such a large area in three days? Xu Jun looked at Goering, who was huddled in a chair in a daze, the fat man had completely wilted.

Xu Jun continued: "Don't say three days, I don't think it's possible to do this in three weeks. Without the participation of the army in this campaign, it would be impossible for the air force alone to completely destroy the encircled enemy. Moreover, in my opinion, even if the infantry division and the air force are on hand now, we may not be able to completely annihilate these units. ”

After hearing this, Hitler leaned back, frowned and began to think. Yodel couldn't help it, and he asked Xu Jun.

"Your Excellency, it is now clear to us that the air force alone cannot completely destroy those enemy forces, but I think that if the infantry division and the air force cooperate in the attack, although it will not be as short as three days as Marshal Goering said, it is guaranteed that they will be completely destroyed within half a month. Because they have already cut off their supply lines and are completely surrounded by us in the canal area, they will not be able to break through our defenses in any way. Why do you think we can't wipe them out? ”

At this time, Hitler also raised his head and looked at Xu Jun suspiciously, and he couldn't think of any reason why the German army would not be able to completely annihilate the enemy army already in the encirclement.

Xu Jun replied with a smile: "Because none of us thought of the most critical point."

Seeing that everyone was looking at him intently, he was very satisfied with the effect. Xu Jun picked up his coffee and took a sip, then put down his cup and walked to the edge of the huge map of Europe, took the pole handed by the adjutant, and pointed to a small point on the French coast

"None of us paid attention here."

Yodel cried. "Dunkirk?"

"Yes, Dunkirk. When we were triumphantly talking about how to destroy the enemy in the encirclement, who would have thought that there was a very big hole in this encirclement. It's this humble port city, Dunkirk! ”

"We also thought about this port, and the British and French did use it to transport supplies. From the information we have obtained, they are setting up a bridgehead in that port. They also seem to want to bring in reinforcements from the British. If that's what worries you, don't worry. This port was too small for such a large force that she simply could not afford to supply the entire besieged army. You don't have to worry about them staying alive in this port. ”

Yodel triumphantly thought that he had understood what Xu Jun meant, and he was still thinking in his heart, it seems that although this deputy head of state is indeed a little talented, he is still a little tender in the end.

"What? Do you think that's what I'm worried about? What about you? ”

Xu Jun looked at the rest of the generals, and they nodded there one by one. Only Hitler was still staring at the map carefully, and it seemed that he had seen that the roll call was coming. Xu Jun walked back to his place, lowered his head, and said in a disappointed tone.

"I'm disappointed that no one in our command sees the key."

Then he jerked his head up, stared at the officers, and said coldly.

"Didn't any of you think that the enemy might run away from that port?"

There was another commotion among the people. Hitler immediately raised his head, and a bright light flashed in his eyes.

Xu Jun then said with a look that seemed to be worried about the future.

"Remember, we have the entire British Expeditionary Force in our encirclement, all of which have been formed with the best British troops. The British will not allow all of his elite to be lost here, for if this army is wiped out, there will be no army in the British mainland capable of holding back our mighty army. The British government will lose the capital to continue fighting with us. So their government will absolutely stop at nothing to rescue their elite.

And there are only two paths in front of them. One is to break through to the south of France and join up with the main forces of France in the south, then they will have to tear through the defense line constructed by the Kleist armored group, which is completely impossible to do according to their current strength, and the British are naturally well aware of this.

Then they were left with only one way, to withdraw their troops to the British by sea. ”
