In Germany, Berlin, in the Reich Chancellery, Li Le also knew that his plan could not be hidden from the British, and even the Americans who had not yet entered the war would soon know about it. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"Seven days of preparation time is obviously not very sufficient." Standing in front of the Führer was the commander of the paratroopers, General Student, who had once again come to meet him.

Two days earlier he had been instructed to draw up an offensive plan for an attack on the island of Malta, in which the paratroopers would take on a heavier mission.

There were 20,000 Allied troops on the island of Malta, and the paratroopers were to crush them, seize the landing area and hold out until the arrival of the navy and army.

"I ordered the emergency production of 1,000 STG-44 assault rifles to be distributed to the Airborne Forces as secret weapons." Li Le had already deduced two attack plans with Spudent.

Even though he was very familiar with the German airborne operations in the Netherlands and Belgium, and knew that the Cretan airborne operations that had not taken place today, Li Le was defeated by Spudent twice in a row.

Obviously, as a military commander, Li Le is still far from enough. Spudent showed him what the gap was between himself and the real general.

General Student was also frightened by Li Le's erudition, he had never seen a commander who knew so much about the Airborne Forces, and the Führer knew even more about the future development of the Airborne Forces than he, a real paratrooper commander.

Such as paratrooper fighting vehicles, low-altitude airdrops, and other development directions, Li Le is of course at his fingertips.

He even knew that if he did not change history, there would be another large-scale campaign in which the Airborne Forces would have participated in 44.

War is the best teacher, and the United States is arguably the best student in World War II. He was the last to enter the battle and learned all the new tactics from his enemies.

It learned from Germany about armored warfare and the use of airborne forces, and it learned from Japan the power of naval aviation and used it.

In the end, it became the biggest winner of World War II, outperforming all the teachers who defeated it, and won a brilliant victory.

As for what the winner will reward, just look at the United States today, 70 years of world hegemony is enough to make people salivate.

"Malta is so small, we have too many targets to occupy, such as airports and port ......facilities," said Student, who was concerned about the mission.

After all, German paratroopers were a very valuable fighting force, and it would be a pity to suffer losses on the island of Malta.

However, Li Le did not think so, he was deeply aware of the role that Malta Island played in the Mediterranean War in World War II.

Now the British have not had time to strengthen the defense of the island of Malta, and there are not so many aircraft on the island.

The H Fleet had just suffered losses and was now cowering in Gibraltar and had no time to support the island of Malta.

Now is the best time to take Malta, in order to occupy this island stuck in his mouth like a fish bone, Li Le even felt that if necessary, he could postpone the air battle of Britain.

With this island, the Axis powers will have an unsinkable aircraft carrier on the entire route, and with the powerful German air force and the Italian fleet, Li Le will be able to ensure that Libyan oil can be continuously transported to the territory of the Axis powers.

With this oil, it would be possible to liberate the entire German Army and fight a different Barbarossa according to the plan that would best annihilate the living forces of the Soviet Union.

"General! The occupation of Malta is a project that must be completed, and it is a very important part of our perpetual motion machine plan. Li Le looked at the map and said to his love general.

"I won't say how good its location is, although it is not in a straight line from Italy to Libya, but it is a big problem." Li Le, like the real Führer, began to peddle the economics of war to his generals.

Pointing to the Maltese Islands on the map, he murmured to Student: "Only take here!" And become our military base! It's the ideal situation! ”

"The Führer, perhaps, we will lose more than 3000 paratroopers...... Or more. Bootdent opened his mouth in distress and said his estimate.

Germany now has almost 20,000 paratroopers, and the estimate of the loss of 3,000 people can be said to be very pessimistic.

"If Crete is worth our loss of 6,500 paratroopers, then the Maltese Islands are definitely worth more." Li Le said firmly to his subordinates.

"......" Stepent looked at Li Le with a smile and a smile, and finally had to open his mouth to remind: "My Führer, although I know what you said is speculation, but we have not yet attacked Crete. ”

Li Le also realized that he had said the wrong thing, smiled to hide his embarrassment, and he continued to say things about the island of Malta, and said loudly: "General! Even if I lose 5,000 people, I want Malta! ”

Seeing that the Führer was so resolute, Student had no choice but to admit the plan: "I suggest that we carry out an airborne landing in the south of the island of Malta, seize the airport as soon as possible, and then take control there." ”

As he spoke, he pointed to the airfield in the southern part of the map and introduced to Li Le: "Then airborne supplies and more soldiers, and attack the port of Valletta to the north." ”

This was the safest plan of operations, and the highest success rate, as the Germans who destroyed the airfield would gain air superiority and receive support from the air.

Li Le nodded, he also thought that the attack plan drawn up by Student was the most suitable for him: "Hurry up, what we lack the most is time." ”

As the Führer, he hoped to preserve the strength of his paratroopers and capture Malta as quickly as possible. German fighters and bombers were then transported to the island to protect the entire route.

Only in this way will Germany and Italy be able to replenish their fragile economies and industries by bringing oil back from Libya at a relatively safe and stable pace.

"New Weapons...... STG-44…… Führer, it is customary to name our weapons in the year...... You name this weapon with 44, it's very unaccustomed. Stepent finally couldn't help it, and complained about Li Le's classic "weapon nomenclature of later generations".

Li Le smiled awkwardly, he preferred to use the name of the weapon he was familiar with to name the new weapon he was developing now, after all, as a German fan, what is more important than feelings?

If the Tiger Tank is no longer called the Tiger Tank, but renamed the EG-386, who knows that it will be a majestic tank?

If the famous German STG-44 assault rifle was renamed the STG-40 assault rifle, then who knew that this was the classic advanced weapon in history?

The same question, if the MG-42 "Führer's Saw" general-purpose machine gun is named MG-40, what a violent thing......

Li Le shook his head and opened his mouth to find a perfect excuse for his ideals and persistence: "These weapons are too advanced to express their advanced nature with the current years. ”

"Such a slight change in the nomenclature can also confuse enemy spies and make it impossible for them to guess when our weapons will be produced by the model of the weapon." High-sounding words, Li Le opened his mouth and came.

He found that his eloquence has really been getting better and better recently, and his quick wit has become more and more natural, obviously because of the predicament he has faced since the crossing, so that his IQ and character have been sublimated and evolved.

Hearing the Führer say this, Student didn't think much about it. After all, the Führer's willingness to name the weapon is just an inexplicable hobby, and it is not at all deviant.

You must know that the real Führer in history often asks about the production of weapons, and he is also a guy who has been fooled by others into believing that train guns can hit tanks.

"1,000 STG-44 assault rifles, I need to provide samples immediately, the paratroopers have to adapt to this weapon...... Otherwise, we'd rather fight with old weapons. After Student figured it out, he resolutely bargained for himself.

It was obviously a very difficult task to make an STG assault rifle in 10 days, but the German gun industry, which has a high technical reserve, has really completed it.

While perfecting its own production line, the factory undertook the structural processing of 1,000 rifles by hand.

This process made Li Le's eyes red, you must know that this method was often used during the war of China's industrial conference, he had only heard of it but had never seen the real power.

Now he had seen and seen the true strength of an old industrial empire: it was easy for the Germans to find qualified workers and complete the production and processing of 1,000 weapons.

In this process, the domestic gun manufacturers in Belgium and Germany did not even delay at all, ensuring that the original gun production capacity was completed.

In addition to 1000 new guns for German paratroopers, pistols were prepared for at least half of the Airborne Forces as carry-on weapons.

With these new weapons, the German paratroopers were probably the most equipped with automatic weapons in the world, with a full range of modern weaponry, from pistols to assault rifles.

Li Le even strengthened the general-purpose machine gun to the paratrooper unit, increasing the firepower of this unit to an alarming level.

The German paratroopers were much more advanced than the Allied forces stationed on the island of Malta, and they had the same support fleet as the Italian Navy when the United States landed in Normandy in '44.

Even Li Le did not expect that, at the urging of Mussolini, the Italian Navy sent two old battleships to support the German military operation on the island of Malta.

A support fleet consisting of the battleship Cavour and the battleship Caesar was ready to attack Malta.
