148 stopped bombing
On 30 August, the fighting over Britain still left the British in despair, their London was almost in ruins, and the places of interest that are known today are now gone. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Big Ben, for example, is now only a piece of wreckage, and no one has even had time to clean it up.
Britain's domestic air defense has begun to be forced to transform into replacing the already collapsed production of fighter jets with the production of anti-aircraft guns that will not be easily lost.
Now that Britain's industrial sector was ordered to produce anti-aircraft weapons at full capacity, the Luftwaffe was facing more ground artillery fire, and the losses were not easy for Goering.
At least in Goering's view, his pilots could not be easily lost over London, which is also something that Li Le is very sure of.
So in the last two days, the Luftwaffe has broken up and raided some scattered British water and power facilities, and in order to avoid further losses, many bombing missions have been canceled.
Much as in the previous Air Battle of Britain, the Luftwaffe suspended its bombing attacks after the first round.
However, unlike in another time and space, this time the Luftwaffe carried out a very thorough and precise bombing of British industry as a victor.
It was also a break, this time the Luftwaffe gained the initiative, but Li Le was not very optimistic about the continuation of the air raids in September.
The pre-World War II distribution of Britain's native industry that he mastered was almost useless.
Now, if he continues to attack the British mainland, then the information he can use is very scarce. On the contrary, the pace of British rebuilding industry was not within the level of Li Le's knowledge, and he could not prevent the British from rebuilding their own industry in the north with bombing.
In a British bombing that was different from the previous life, the only advantage that Germany had now achieved was, in Li Le's view, to attract the attention of the British from other places to the mainland.
In turn, Germany was strengthened to a certain extent in other respects - for example, it could concentrate on building a navy, for example, it could delay British industry from playing its part in the war.
"I suggest that in September we can cancel our plans to continue the air raids against the British...... "Li Le suggested to Goering and Kesselring at a meeting of the Air Force.
Goering listened to Kesselring summarize the results of the bombing of British industry while playing with a fine fountain pen.
As Reich Marshal, Goering was already preparing for the creation of a larger Waffen-SS on the instructions of Li Le.
He had already extended his hand into the army as a matter of course, but because the command was still assigned to the army for the time being, it did not cause resistance from the army.
Of course, Li Le's promise to the Army was not a promise to Goering. He acquiesced in Goering's petty efforts to reach out to the Army, but he also supported the Army's differential treatment of the relationship between the SS and the Wehrmacht.
After gaining the understanding of the senior generals of the army, Li Le promised to let the army throw some of the newly formed Waffen-SS troops to the rear to take charge of some other auxiliary combat work, but not really armed and on an equal footing with the army.
The main reason for him to do this was to strive for more space for his command and discourse in the three armed services.
Kesselring was surprised that Li Le had judged the current situation so clearly, and he knew that the Führer was a very emotional person most of the time, and he liked to say things like "whatever it takes, whatever it takes" when interfering with the Air Force's operations.
However, as one of the more powerful players in the Air Force, Kesselring hated wasting Air Force pilots, or squandering the precious Air Force.
Rather than wasting troops, he would rather use the Air Force to do combat operations that would make it easier to establish superiority.
In fact, for the past seven days, he had become less optimistic about the bombing of London - because most of the pilots were shot down by ground fire, and his fighters had to follow the bombers every time, but they had consumed precious fuel in vain.
Hearing what the Führer said, he immediately nodded and replied: "My Führer, your decision is correct. It is not good for us to continue bombing in such a foolish way! ”
"Of course, if the Führer, your intelligence department, can provide higher-value targets, then there is no problem in continuing the bombing." He glanced at Goering and added.
For Germany, the impact of Li Le's "invisible intelligence department" within them is also very huge.
Never before did the Führer launch this terrible intelligence force, the German top brass had such a detailed picture of the enemy.
Relying on this information, the Luftwaffe achieved an unprecedented victory, and Kesselring was convinced that if the Führer could get other information, the Luftwaffe should go on the offensive.
The pragmatic marshal of the Air Force was convinced in his mind that the objectives provided by the Führer's intelligence unit were definitely worth destroying by his planes "at any cost"!
"Yes! My Führer...... If your intelligence officers can still send back the news, then we can continue to find important bombing targets......" Goering looked at Li Le, his eyes were also full of anticipation.
Is there a job in this world that is easier than the bombing before it? The targets have been precisely chosen, and even what is inside is described.
Bombing these nodes really weakened Britain's air defenses - Goering had to admit that the high-value British targets destroyed by the Führer in the first round were really high-value targets worth destroying!
"The British are investigating internally...... My intelligence department will not be able to continue delivering messages for a short time. Li Le touched the photos of the targets marked as destroyed on the table in front of him with his hand.
This is a photograph brought back by a reconnaissance plane that was secretly filmed inside the bomber, and it clearly marks the destroyed factory and other buildings.
When Goering heard Li Le say this, a painful expression appeared on his face - he suggested that Li Le should use as few such high-level spies as possible, and he hoped that these spies would play their role in more important aspects.
However, Li Le not only used intelligence unrestrained and undisguisedly, but was so brazen that he wanted to tell the other side that Germany had spies in the British leadership.
Kesselring, who was sitting on the other side, also did not understand why the Führer was so eager to use such important intelligence officers. He had advised the Führer to provide proper cover for this senior intelligence officer.
Unfortunately, the Führer was confident that the other side could not find a hidden German intelligence agent, so he did not take his advice.
"London is almost in ruins...... The value of bombing there is already very low. Kesselring confidently said: "If there are no new targets worthy of our attack, the air raids are just a waste of time." ”
Now that things had come to this, Kesselring knew that it was impossible to complain about the Führer, so he simply repeated his conclusions.
Li Le's real killer move was not in the air, but at sea, so he accepted Kesselring's statement from the good.
In Li Le's view, it is an impossible task to use the existing air force to destroy the British industrial system. Instead of wasting your time and experience here, conserve the strength to do something else.
What he really prepared for Britain was a complete strangulation of Britain's sea transportation lines based on wolf packs and naval task forces of aircraft carriers and battleships.
Only by paralyzing Britain's raw material imports and fundamentally destroying Britain's industrial raw material delivery can it really defeat Britain.
Therefore, the current delayed attack is just buying time for his own navy, arranging smoke bombs for his real killer moves, and increasing his power.
On the other hand, as a false Führer, Li Le, who understood the determination of British resistance, also put the battlefield of defeating Britain in North Africa, and it can be said that Li Le's strategic focus is now in North Africa.
It is precisely because he has prepared two rear guards, the navy and North Africa, that he will judge the cost performance of air combat bombing so rationally.
Of course...... Then again, it would have been a better outcome if the air strikes had actually brought the British to their knees.
"I agree in principle to let the Air Force suspend bombing for 3 days...... Set a three-day break first! Give the pilots a day off! Li Le very intimately agreed to Kesselring's request for a moratorium on the bombing.
At this time, Bowman pushed open the door of the conference room and walked in: "Victory! Monarch! ”
After saluting, he nodded slightly to Goering, and then walked to Li Le's side: "My Führer! Victory news from North Africa! ”
"Oh? Message of victory? Li Le raised an eyebrow, and it seemed that Rommel had lived up to expectations and achieved the victory he deserved in North Africa.
"News from General Rommel?" Goering was also interested in the news, because he had been concerned about the poor desert since he had a 10 percent stake in Libya's oil fields.
"General Rommel defeated the British and freed at least 50,000 Italian prisoners...... Moreover, he actually pushed the front back to Egyptian territory. After reading the message, Li Le threw it to the interested Goering.
Judging from the news inside, it is unlikely that the British will want to fight back. Without Benghazi and Tobruk as a buffer, Rommel's attack on Egypt would have been a better path than before.
Rommel ...... Awesome! After reading the message, Goering also remembered the young man who had served as the captain of the Führer's guard.
He handed the telegram to Kesselring, who saw that the message of victory was written on it that surprised him: "Capture British General Wavell and Lieutenant General O'Connor......"
