77 Changing Futures
Li Le is also unwilling to let history return to its original track, because the track that Li Le is familiar with is a dead end. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
If this script continues, no one knows whether Germany will once again fall into a passive situation.
In the event that the Luftwaffe began to bomb London, Britain would have taken a breather, as it had historically been, would have lost half of the war for Germany.
But now there is no good way to force the British Air Force to take the initiative to come out for a decisive battle, so I can only try this method that seems to be unsure and whether it will work.
"If it's not a regular attack, we can attack for two days and try it, and if the British are fooled, then we can continue to fight like this." Kesselring was not reluctant to the suggestion.
He was also in a hurry to find the main force of the British Air Force now, so he didn't think much about the methods to take.
But Goering had to think more at this time, because he had to consider the possibility of the British Air Force retaliating against the Luftwaffe at this time.
"My Führer." Thinking of this, he directly opened his mouth to persuade: "If you attack London, then you will give the British an excuse to attack our German cities...... This is obviously not a good deal. ”
Li Le was also worried about this, of course, he knew that the British did not have the ability to retaliate on a large scale at this time, but only two years later, the British attack on the German mainland had risen to the point of a headache.
At that time, there were other bombers in Lancaster, England, and other bombers attacking German-occupied France and Germany mainland day and night, weakening Germany's already small production capacity.
This attack became even more terrifying after the Americans joined in. Germany was weakened by strategic bombing, and finally lost the last bit of its possessions.
At its worst, every tank of the German ground forces had to be covered with camouflage in order to survive the day.
And the fact that a German field marshal was killed in an Allied air raid is enough to prove how terrible the density of Allied air raids was at that time.
Li Le knew what might happen in the future, but neither Goering nor Kesselring knew it, and they were waiting for Li Le to continue to explain their views.
You know, the Führer in history was indeed involved in changing the targets of the British air war. And in this change, it also plays a very important role.
It now seems that the Führer's decision to take revenge on the British was a very wrong decision, but at that time the Führer did change the decision of the Air Force.
This also shows that Li Le now has the ability to change the Luftwaffe's key offensive targets, and the air force generals will not insist too much on this matter.
After the victorious Luftwaffe in the first few days, the trust in Li Le is now unprecedentedly strong. As long as Li Le said that London should be destroyed, the Luftwaffe would immediately carry out this plan.
The only question now is whether Li Le is willing to change his target and wipe out the British capital from the map.
"One attack must not be enough, we need to arrange at least a few attacks to make the British realize that they must defend the skies over London." Kesselring opened his mouth and said to Li Le: "The sacrifice of doing so will also be enormous. ”
"Well, try for a week to destroy London as much as possible and paralyze its role in Britain." Li Le said his plan: "If the British are not fooled, we will change the way." ”
"Something else?" Neither Goering nor Kesselring knew what the other method Li Le was talking about was.
Li Le didn't intend to hide his intentions, he spoke directly, in front of Brauchitsch and Raeder and others, and said: "If the British don't surrender, we will attack their colonies in the Balkans and North Africa!" ”
Attacks on the British mainland could only be carried out by air force, and Germany did not have long-range bombers, so such an attack was tolerable for the British, at least on the surface.
However, if Germany began to attack the British colonies, the matter would not be so bearable.
After all, the traditional ground attacks launched by the German Army were still very strong, and these tough soldiers pushed the French flat, and they were simply invincible on land.
"I'm afraid it's not that simple, in fact, we haven't had time to report this matter yet." Brauchitsch said to Li Le with some regret.
With a wry smile on his face, he continued: "My Führer, your discovery of oil fields in Libya has had an impact on the expansionist attitude of the Italian side. ”
Because of the discovery of oil relations in Libya, Mussolini is now less enthusiastic and active about expanding Egypt and the Balkans.
Italy was not well prepared for war, and its reluctance to get involved in war was something that the whole country did not want to see.
Now, the good news of the discovery of the oil field has satisfied the hawks at the top of Italy, and the bigger the field, the stronger the satisfaction for them.
With this oil field, Italy was not so much in the mood to continue expanding until it was ready for war.
Instead, they were enthusiastic about building Libya, and they were more keen to bargain with Germany for the construction of an oil pipeline between Italy and Germany.
Italy is now reluctant to invade the Balkans or start a war in North Africa. Because Libya's status has risen, it is clearly not a good deal to destroy it.
"Italy intends to postpone the invasion of the Balkans until January next year, or even until March next year...... This is not good news for us. Seeing that Li Le did not speak, Brauchitsch continued to speak.
His words made Li Le depressed all of a sudden, and he discovered that the Libyan oil fields had also rewritten the original rhythm of history.
Originally, Italy could not wait to attack the Balkans, but its expansion in North Africa was postponed, and it was postponed for half a year.
At this rate of history, Germany would not have had time to help Italy if it failed again in its invasion of the Balkans.
Because at that time, Li Le was going to start the Barbarossa plan, where would he have the kung fu to help Italy fight a big war in the Balkans?
"It's bad news, these places are Italian spheres of influence, and if they don't move at this time, we have no reason to intervene." Goering still has a certain vision in international relations with such a sensitive sphere of influence, and directly expressed Li Le's worries.
If Italy had not allowed the Germans to intervene, the attack on the British in North Africa or the Balkans would have been another mess for Germany.
But for Li Le, the most fatal thing is not this, but how much impact Italy's postponement of the war will have on the future that Li Le knows.
If the Italians had postponed the war, the British had a respite in those places, and if something had gone wrong in the rear of Italy when Germany invaded the Soviet Union, it would have been all over.
If you don't know it, it will be even happier than losing in history, and Li Le will lose this war. At that time, there is no need to wait for the punishment of 45 years, and in 44 years, lead people to surrender.
I don't know if Roosevelt and Churchill had any preferential treatment for prisoners when they surrendered and lost half of the time in 44...... Or the German field marshal has a big reward for prisoners of war or something, otherwise, gather ten field marshals and send three army generals?
Li Leman was thinking wildly, and Brauchitsch said something about the Italian military.
Despite the presence of Malta, a newly conquered island, the situation in North Africa was favourable to the Axis powers.
"Mussolini, a short-sighted fellow, won't he just move his rusty brain?" Li Le complained in a low voice, but unfortunately Goering who was sitting next to him happened to hear it.
The latter obviously had no problem with Li Le's complaining about the leader of another allied country, because in Goering's cognition, except for the increasingly talented Führer, it seemed that no one else could do without the evaluation of idiots and idiots.
"We can't take care of other people's affairs, but we have to do our own business, about the No. 4 tank, how is the preparation of the factory?" Li Le also had no way to interfere with the Italians' ideas.
In fact, Mussolini's choice now is the right thing for Italy.
It's just that Li Le doesn't want to see the history that hasn't happened being changed, but it's a pity that he can't get used to it, but he has no ability to change the situation.
So he can only ask about his own side of things, after all, with the new "voucher", the biggest business on Li Le's purchase list is the thousands of tanks in the army.
This business is not a simple purchase, but a comprehensive upgrade of Tank 4 and Tank 3.
The first is the improvement of the No. 3 assault gun, which is called the three stud by military fans. The Germans have greatly improved this kind of weaponry, which is subordinate to artillery.
The German armament department was ordered to add a plate skirt and frontal armor to this weapon, which strengthened the armor protection of this assault gun.
Although these were minor improvements, they already reflected the attitude of the German Panzer Forces, who trusted the Führer's judgment and were trying to improve their equipment to suit future wars.
There are even more improvements to the No. 4 tank, and one of the biggest improvements is still on the drawings.
In the future, the No. 4 tank will be equipped with front-tilting armor and a powerful 75 mm long-barreled gun to enhance its firepower.
With the wisdom of German experts, the classic No. 4H tank was born many years ahead of schedule, and it also carried out the "magic change" of the frontal armor tilt.
