"Also, tell Lu Teyans that when you have enough rest, go out for a walk, and I'll wait for his good news!" A second before Bowman was about to leave the Führer's office, Li Le added. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

By this time, Bowman had fully understood the Führer's current style. He is now more of a rule-free scoundrel than a politician.

It so happened that it was this rogue style that could be regarded as the most pragmatic and most in line with the interests of Germany.

At dawn on the second day of the Brest air battle, soldiers with dark circles could still be seen on the German anti-aircraft artillery positions.

And on the very same day, November 25, a train pulled into the station of the Brest military port, bringing the last load of fuel.

Now that Lütjens had enough fuel, the German fleet in the port of Brest was once again ready to go to sea for battle.

The wounded battlecruiser Bismarck was replaced with the battlecruiser Scharnhorst, and the fleet was still the same formidable partisan fleet.

After receiving the Führer's order, Lütjans, who had been impatient for a long time, drew up a new battle plan on the same day, and decided to leave his home port that night and enter the Atlantic.

There were quite a few British agents deployed in France, and of course these spies obtained a lot of intelligence information. The command of the British homeland, of course, knew that the Germans were replenishing Brest fuel, and that the fleet could strike again at any moment.

But the British were really unable to stop the German fleet, their navy had returned to their station, their air force had suffered heavy losses, and it had not yet recovered.

"A New French intelligence officer, who has a new development, saw yesterday a train full of fuel passing through his city." In the British intelligence service, an officer reluctantly reported to his superior.

"Yesterday? How can yesterday's information be sorted out today? His superiors frowned when they heard this.

You know, yesterday's train is almost already in the port of Brest today, and this kind of news, which can corroborate the combat readiness of the German Navy, should not be delayed so much.

When the subordinate officers heard this question, the helplessness on their faces became even more obvious: "Sir...... Recently, the department is conducting a routine self-examination, and there is a mountain of documents. ”

Ever since the appearance of the German shadow troops in Britain, this routine self-examination has been carried out regularly within British intelligence.

Although nothing useful could be found at all, because it was the highest level of order, all departments could only strictly enforce it.

As a result, the progress of everyone's work has been seriously slowed down, the documents are piled up and no one is managing them, and all departments in the whole of Britain are in a mess.

Fortunately, the British are more rigid than the Americans, and if they were Americans, it is estimated that some non-sectors would have collapsed on strike long ago.

"Alas......" I don't know if I was sighing about the documents or sighing about the self-examination, anyway, the chief of the intelligence department finally sighed, and also put on a helpless expression.

This time, the German navy departed from Brest and went directly into the vast Atlantic, and the British navy had little to stop it.

In the same way, if this German fleet wants to do something in the Atlantic, the British side can only endure it.

If it weren't for the fact that there was really no way, His Majesty the King would not have come up with three indiscriminate tricks to find the Germans to play such a delaying tactic as peace.

Because of the presence of shadow troops, Germany took out a large number of double agents and spies in its territory, and the British intelligence network was completely lost.

This large-scale destruction had a direct impact on the transmission of intelligence to the French occupation zone. Very little information has been heard about Brest, where most of the area was requisitioned by the Germans as a military exclusion zone, and there is no way to investigate.

The defeat of the Air Force is the most intuitive response to this lack of intelligence. The intelligence officer rubbed the bridge of his nose and could only wave helplessly to his men.

If that "shadow" unit is not removed for a day, no intelligence work can be carried out normally. If you want to blame it, the secret security bureau in charge of this matter has nothing to do with external intelligence agencies like them.

Just when the intelligence agencies in Britain were using their brain cells for fuel transported by a train, an accident occurred in Gibraltar that shocked the British mainland.

The French Air Force dispatched 20 bombers to carry out a retaliatory bombing of Gibraltar! This was the first blatant counterattack by the Vichy French government, and it claimed to be revenge for the Battle of Oran.

It is not clear how many British lost Darlan's fleet at Orlan, but the British knew that their battleship Resolve had sunk there.

Are you Vichy France embarrassed to take revenge? Our British sank a battleship, and you didn't have any fart losses, and you retaliated with a yarn?

The air raids did not cause much damage to Gibraltar, except that an oil storage tank was blown up, and a third of the fuel oil left in the tank exploded into the sky.

Gibraltar, including human losses, can be described as minor. But the attack of the French took place at this point in time, and the sensitive British smelled a hint of danger.

A series of deadly acts, such as supporting Free France, causing trouble in many French colonies, and attacking French fleets, finally made Vichy France begin to fully fall to the German enemies.

Once the French fleet in the military port of Toulon joined the war, it would be a catastrophe for the British.

Compared with the Italian fleet in the Mediterranean, which was not seaworthy and short-legged, and could not enter the Atlantic, the French fleet was more threatening to Britain.

In any case, France, with its two coastlines of the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean, has a much more reliable fleet in seaworthiness and range than Italy's short-legged fleet.

If this fleet began to cooperate with the German fleet, then whether it was to enter the Atlantic to fight, or to completely contain the H fleet of Somerville, which had died in Gibraltar, would put the British in a desperate situation.

Without the H Fleet flanking Brest, the German fleet alone against the British Home Fleet would really be quite a match for itself - what a joke to make.

Churchill's response was to appease the Vichy government in France on the one hand, and to make de Gaulle's Free France as restrained as possible recently.

The stimulus stormed the Vichy government of France, and did nothing to gain except to make Gibraltar a battlefield and finally lose this vital Mediterranean valve.

Another deadly piece of news came from Somerville. The commander of the H Fleet sent a question that neither Churchill nor Charles could answer......

"Tell me about it...... If the German fleet in Brest goes to sea again, will the H fleet in Somerville be able to make a sortie? Churchill looked at Charles, the newly appointed commander-in-chief of the navy, and asked.

If given a choice, Charles was really reluctant to take over the hot ass position of commander of the navy. His predecessor Pound was angry at his post, how could this not make people feel related?

But he has indeed taken office, and the problem of the prime minister is indeed a problem that he, the commander of the navy, has to face.

So, Charles touched his chin and replied with some reluctance: "Somerville's fleet may not be able to move again......"

The French stabbed such a knife in Gibraltar, which seemed to be painless, but in fact it put a lot of pressure on Britain.

Now, if the main forces of the H fleet leave Gibraltar, in case the French fleet and the Italian fleet join forces to kill the ...... This base is completely finished.

Not to mention the army occupation, just two hours of ammunition dumping at the harbor under the cover of airplanes was enough to blow it into ruins.

There really doesn't need to be fully occupied, just bomb some of the port facilities, and it will be enough to turn it into a ruined port.

Gibraltar has a number of forts and looks very strong...... But these batteries are either very old or seriously undernumerous.

A few years ago, no matter how much the British top brass was brainy, they could never have imagined that Gibraltar might face shelling from five or six battleships of the enemy's navy......

"Then you tell me again, how are we going to fight the German fleet with only the home fleet?" Churchill heard Charles's answer and asked again.

Hearing the Prime Minister's question, Charles really had the urge to cry - can I stop doing it? You ask me one sentence after another, who the hell am I going to ask?

sighed in my heart, on the surface, I really can't lift the table and strike. Charles pondered his words for a moment and said to Churchill: "Only, it depends on the Duke of Hamilton whether he can leave the German fleet in Brest." ”

I didn't expect Charles to answer like this, and Churchill was obviously stunned. Then he nodded his head in agreement—and now he had to rely on the trickery of the Duke of Hamilton.

Charles sighed, saying that he was really tired and didn't love. It is a great irony that the world's largest navy of the British Empire should rely on deception to delay time and hold back the opponent's fleet.

also felt the hot pain on his face, and Churchill on the side. A few months earlier, it had been he who had confidently halted Hamilton's peace talks and torn his face with Germany.

At this moment, apart from lamenting that creation makes people, Churchill really has no other thoughts. He tried all the ways to defeat Germany, but fate played on him, and all his attempts failed.

Just when the British home command pinned all its hopes on the delaying tactics of an ethereal Duke Hamilton.

That night, the German fleet slowly sailed out of the military port and rushed towards the Atlantic Ocean that was close at hand.
