Hearing Manstein say this, Guderian, who was concentrating on the construction of armored forces, suddenly felt a chill behind him. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

After all, he relied on the theory of assault of armored forces, and if this tactic quickly became obsolete or was suppressed by the enemy, then the new methods of warfare that he had devoted his whole life to studying would become a chicken rib.

So he looked at Manstein in embarrassment and asked, "So, in the face of the increase in the anti-tank capabilities of the infantry, do you have any good solutions?" ”

In fact, he is also a fan of the authorities, after all, his affection for the German armored forces is too deep, and he has poured too much heart and soul into it.

Otherwise, he would not be known as the father of German armored forces. And his tactical thinking, even until the Cold War, was still influencing the armored operations of the large corps.

Manstein laughed when he heard Guderian ask. He patted Guderian on the shoulder and replied, "You just care too much about this matter to see a solution." ”

At this point, Manstein put away his smile and continued to reply: "Actually, our Führer has already given his countermeasures, but his proposal is too far ahead of his time to meet the timing of such a change. ”

The advanced countermeasure he was referring to was Li Le's order to strengthen the front armor of the existing No. 4 tank and develop a new, thicker armored tank.

Li Le, a fake Führer, or a fake tactical genius, did not rely on the foresight and intuition of Guderian and Manstein on the transition between attack and defense on the battlefield.

The reason why this fake head of state was able to put forward his own opinion relied on one independent model after another, which has already happened in later generations!

So, compared to Manstein and Guderian who saw the problem from the deduction in front of him, he didn't need a process of analysis and transformation in between.

It is precisely because of this that the improvement plans proposed by Li Le are often independent and unclear ahead of time.

However, as Li Le proposed more and more improvements, the connections between these improvements became more and more.

It's like an artist, if he wants to paint a beautiful picture, he has to follow a sequence to outline it little by little.

In this process, you can quickly see what he is drawing, because the general outline is the law that he must follow, which is in line with human thinking and common sense.

And because of the advance of knowledge, Li Le ignores the process of intermediate derivation, and is more like a computer with rapid calculations: because he does not need to analyze, the time is infinitely shortened, far more than a supercomputer that can calculate billions of times in one second.

Therefore, when he paints a picture, he does not draw according to composition and common sense, but uses pixels that have already been set in the future to "dot".

In the beginning, you couldn't see anything of these pixels, but when these pixels became more and more dense and denser, the picture scroll was born.

Therefore, when Manstein saw the Führer's foresight in strengthening tank armor from the matter of increasing infantry anti-tank fire, he immediately "shocked" the Führer.

Similarly, Guderian now realizes that he was wrong to divide tanks into fast tanks and infantry support tanks.

In the face of more and more threats to the tanks of the future, the matter of exchanging light and thin armor for speed began to become more than worth the loss.

Because of this, the Führer strengthened the armor of the tank in advance and ordered the development of a "main battle tank" with more versatile performance, and immediately became far-sighted under the premise of increasing the firepower of the infantry.

"My God! How could the Führer know tank tactics so well? Guderian himself was taken aback, and subconsciously opened his mouth to muttered to himself.

Manstein immediately found the answer for him, based on his own imagination: "You ask me? Isn't it because the Führer took a fancy to your tanks that led to today's brilliant victory of the armored forces? ”

"You're right!" Guderian immediately nodded in agreement: "The Führer is a tactical genius!" A true genius! ”

This time it was Manstein's turn to nod in agreement: "Yes! The Führer did have a keen eye for the tactical aspects of weapons, and what is even more amazing was that he was also very proficient in strategy. ”

"Why do you say that?" Hearing the other party say this, Guderian knew that there was something to gossip about again.

Manstein, who also had a very gossipy heart, replied when he heard Guderian ask: "I heard it from Marshal Brauchitsch." ”

Swallowing a mouthful of saliva, he continued: "Regarding the matter of the Sea Lion Project, the Führer seems to have never mentioned it in the last few combat meetings. ”

The original Sea Lion Project was not so much a devastating and torturous treatment of the German Navy, but rather a torment of many generals of the Army.

It is true that the navy cannot guarantee the smooth progress of the landing operation, so why does the army not have the slightest confidence in its heart?

The biggest concern is not that they will not be able to rely on landing operations to occupy LinkedIn territory, but that the head of state will order the implementation of the Sea Lion plan in the near future.

This is not the old history of the loss of the Battle of Britain, but the new moment of history when the Battle of Britain seems to have been won!

Now that Goering has won air supremacy over Britain, according to the plan, the Sea Lion plan should go step by step!

If at this time the Führer had asked the Navy to overcome the difficulties and really make a big news about the landing in Britain, that would have been a matter of frustration for the army generals.

They are not afraid of landing, what they are afraid of is that the navy will drop the chain halfway, so that the army sent to Britain will lose its logistics and become prisoners of the enemy in vain!

At a time when the situation is good, send 100,000 German elite troops to the British mainland, and then cut off supplies and become prisoners...... That's the real headache for the Army.

Why Brauchitsch has been cooperating so much with Li Le in making various improvements on the Eastern Front recently, this is completely a tacit understanding to repay Li in a good mood.

Since the Führer never mentioned the implementation of the Sea Lion Plan, it proves that the Führer saw the problem of landing operations, so he pretended to be stupid and suppressed this embarrassing topic!

With such a military leader, Brauchitsch suddenly felt something called happiness.

So the field marshal, the commander-in-chief of the German Army, did not hesitate to use some oil reserves, and at the same time acquiesced in the Führer's slight transgression on the Waffen-SS issue.

In addition, he acquiesced in a series of improvements made by the Führer to the Army, which proved to be a positive compromise that did indeed increase the Army's combat effectiveness.

"You mean, the Führer himself suppressed the Sea Lion Project, but two months ago we were still discussing the Sea Lion Plan, and it seems that the Führer is interested in a short-term conquest of Britain." Guderian asked.

Manstein shook his head and continued with a smile: "So, we feel that the Führer is getting more and more crazy, it is a delusion...... The Führer's sanity was overshadowed by his audacity! ”

Guderian himself was not optimistic about landing in Britain, he was confident in the combat capability of the army, but he was worried about the naval capability.

After all, the combat operation of landing in Northern Europe was a blow to the navy, and it really hurt its vitality.

And in the face of the British mainland, in the face of the main force of the British Royal Navy, Guderian believes that the navy has no chance of winning.

Sending 100,000 or more German soldiers to the battlefield on British soil for nothing, and then losing the war in an ugly way, was something that Guderian and other army generals were unwilling to do.

If they want to add a deadline to this reluctance, they want it to be -- well, not 10,000 years, but after the navy has mastered the supremacy of the sea......

Of course, if the navy cannot control the sea, it must at least fight with the British navy to ensure that the army's cross-sea supply will not be cut off.

"I envy Rommel! He was personally sent to North Africa by the Führer, and the results were already achieved. When talking about this, the two of them remembered this in their minds at the same time.

And when the two of them saw the mechanized infantry division, which finally triggered this series of discussions, the Führer they worshipped was summoning Admiral Raeder in the capital Berlin.

Li Le doesn't go to trouble with the army, it doesn't mean that he doesn't go to trouble with the navy, this summons, Li Le is prepared for the relevant content of the Sea Lion plan.

Seeing Raeder, who was already tired and a little emaciated because of the naval renovation project, the fake head of state Li Le pointed to the sofa in his prime minister's office and motioned to the other party to be casual.

"Victory! Monarch! Raeder saluted Li Le, and then sat down opposite Li Le.

"What do you think of the new device I mentioned to you last time?" Li Le did not mention the Sea Lion Project to the army because he knew that the essence of this matter lay in the navy.

These days he had been preparing the Sea Lion Project, because in his plan, Germany should get rid of the British before they were forced to go to war with the Soviet Union.

In order to achieve this goal, Li Le did everything he could, drawing up a grand operational planning timetable for the navy.

In the next three months, the Navy will use submarine forces to slow down the recovery of the British mainland. Then the naval fleet formed a combat force and went to sea in the form of a fleet, completely cutting off the British supply at sea.

It was a guerrilla warfare-like battle at sea - the same work that the German fleet did in real history.

The only difference was that this fleet was not afraid of the British detachments in any direction. So after attacking the route, it can calmly choose any direction to break through and return home!

And after cutting off the British sea supply, the next thing to do is to land on the British mainland and defeat the British on the other side in a way that Li Le copied and the British couldn't think of!
