76 deception

So now the problem comes, since Li Le feels that the navy's shortcomings in the Sea Lion Project are really irreparable, then the next thing is more tricky. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The first is that the air force's strike targets become obscure, and the suppression of British air strikes weakens the effectiveness over time.

On the other hand, the British were also strengthening their coastline defenses, but the German army's preparations could not be translated into real results in the short term.

The second is the unfamiliarity of the army with the landing operation - this is completely different from the landing in Norway, and the combat effectiveness of the British and Norwegian armies is completely different.

If the army's armored forces cannot be transported to the British mainland as soon as possible, it is difficult for Li Le to speculate what kind of results the German army will be able to achieve in Britain.

The fool also knew that if Britain could be defeated once and for all, it would be a very great victory to occupy the islands and open up access to the Atlantic.

This would create an Atlantic barrier against the United States, leaving a powerful United States with no choice but to do anything about Europe.

Therefore, if Britain had really landed and taken Britain, Germany would have won almost half of World War II.

However, if Li Le was to be deployed ten or even twenty years in advance, like the protagonists in the novels he had read, landing in Britain would still be a feasible plan.

But it's a pity that Li Le traveled back in time in June 1940, and he had no way to rewrite history and undo everything that had happened.

The Dunkirk Evacuation had taken place, and Germany had missed its best chance to weaken the British Army.

The German landing in Britain was difficult, but the shortcomings of the Luftwaffe's lack of long-range attack force were inherited.

Let Li Le make up for so many shortcomings in a short period of time, he can't do it. He's not one of those lucky traversers who can carry around with him the Red Alert base, interstellar portals, and other goodies.

"What is the probability that the Army will succeed in capturing the landing ground if there are only requisitioned fishing boats and other landing vessels?" The navy couldn't count on it at all, so Li Le set his sights on the army.

Brauchitsch shook his head, if the navy can dump all the warships out of the nest and form a combat power to seize sea supremacy, the army's grasp will only be 30% at most.

After all, Germany is not the United States and the United Kingdom, and there are not enough main warships, so it is impossible to waste time and effort to build a special landing ship to land in Britain.

To transport tanks and personnel, we had to rely on amateur barges and other requisitioned ships.

How could such a rudimentary landing transport allow troops to land on a heavily fortified beach in a timely and smooth manner?

Once the tanks that made the army invincible could not be deployed smoothly, the covering troops expanded the landing ground, waiting for the disaster of the German army.

The first is that the German Army, which has no follow-up, will fall into an embarrassing situation without support.

In order to have sufficient numbers for the first wave of attacking forces, the Germans had to concentrate their ships to maximize the amount they could deliver at a time.

But these ships have sailed to the coastline of England, and it will take more and more time to return to Germany to load a boatload of men or supplies - no, it is getting dark!

Speaking of darkness, another fatal question arises, if the Luftwaffe could not continue to cover because it was dark, then who would stop the British navy?

During the night, numerous destroyers, cruisers, and even battleships would enter the German landing waters.

Attack landing ships and shell German landing grounds from behind. The German soldiers, who had already landed in England that night, had to rely on their own strength to get by.

So, for the first landing, how much ammunition and how many people could the Germans send to Britain? No matter how you calculate this number, you can't exceed 50,000.

Relying on the strength of less than 50,000 people, it survived for a night under the attack of hundreds of thousands of British troops......

Brauchitsch, even if he tried to be as optimistic as possible, could not predict the probability of victory above 30%.

Of course, if one takes into account the lack of landing experience, the question of whether the landing force could continue to transport troops to the British mainland smoothly in the confusion of the next day -- the answer that the army can give is actually similar to that of the navy.

"Without naval cover, the success rate of landing operations of the army would not have exceeded ten percent." Rundstedt gave his own estimate.

In fact, the Army General Command was even more pessimistic, and the generals believed that the success rate of a rash landing in Britain was not even one percent.

Li Le also estimated so, because he knew what the situation of the army was at this time.

So he looked at Rundstedt in surprise, wondering how the latter optimistically estimated the probability of 10 percent.

The latter saw the Führer's surprised gaze, blushed slightly, bowed his head and added: "Of course, this is a very optimistic estimate, and the probability of the normal estimate is not even more than one percent. ”

Li Le nodded, and finally reached an agreement with Brauchitsch and Rundstedt and others.

He looked at Marshal Klug in the distance and asked, "Marshal Klug, I wonder if if the army can be prepared for a year, can the success rate of the landing be increased somewhat?" ”

"My Führer! If the training and preparation are sufficient, and the supplies are more abundant, I think it is still possible to have a success rate of more than 30 percent. Kluge gives a relatively conservative estimate.

Because Li Le did not give his conditions, this vague assumption is only a vague judgment, and what Li Le actually wants to confirm is the time when the Sea Lion plan may be implemented.

A year later, the Navy was almost restored. If lucky, it can even inflict heavy damage on the British naval fleet.

At that time, Germany had at least one aircraft carrier, two battleships, and four heavy cruisers, plus small ships such as destroyers, which could almost guarantee the safety of the landing site.

However, Li Le was not sure that a year later, the British would have come out of the shadow of defeat and be ready to meet the German army.

If, a few months later, the Battle of Britain fell into passivity, then the victory of the week would have been wasted by Li Le and the unprepared German military.

Thinking of this, Li Le was very unwilling, after all, he knew that Britain was very weak now, and it was also the best time to defeat Britain.

"The reason for the rush to convene this meeting is that my intelligence agents in Britain are limited, so we have less and less access to intelligence." Li Le opened his mouth and said his explanation.

His explanation made Goering's heart tremble, and although he had a hunch, he did not want to believe that such a thing had happened.

Kesselring raised an eyebrow on the side, and he was a little depressed when he heard the news, because the loss of such an important source of information was really a huge loss.

Two days earlier, the Air Force had already realized that its target had not changed for two consecutive days.

At that time, Goering and Kesselring met with the Führer, hoping that the Führer could give a new target.

However, Li Le only asked the Air Force to attack the existing targets again, and did not give new targets for the Air Force to attack.

At that time, Kesselring had a premonition of the "danger" of the Führer's intelligence officers, but he did not expect the problem to come so quickly.

"The British are redeploying their defenses, and if we can't give them trouble, then our victory, will be wasted." Li Le put forward his thoughts with some regret.

"We should take advantage of the advantages we have already achieved and continue to attack the factories and airfields of the British to expand our advantage." Goering spoke.

"Factories are not that easy to move and we can make sure they are completely destroyed! Including the equipment inside, as well as the workshop! "In the original historical time and space, Goering was also a defender of attacking the opposing air force and airfields.

So at this time, it is not surprising that he put forward a proposal to continue to weaken the British fighter forces, as well as air defense.

"Yes, we have to keep the bombing going, but we all know that as time goes on, the bombing will cause less and less trouble for the British." Li Le nodded helplessly and said.

"Reluctantly, that's the only way we can do it now." Kesselring is equally frustrated by the current situation.

"My Führer, one more thing...... This was last night's report. After the entanglement, the air marshal put out a document and said to Li Le.

He pointed to the document: "Last night, a British bomber force attacked Berlin ......"

"Although we took off in time for the night fighter interception, they still attacked the suburbs of Berlin and dropped bombs there." After he finished speaking, he looked at Li Le.

Göring continued with Kesselring's words: "Last night we shot down 21 British bombers, and we achieved brilliant results. ”

"The British bombardment did not cause much damage, two civilian houses were damaged, and there were no casualties." Speaking of this, Goering also felt that his face was gloomy.

He repeatedly assured that Berlin was the absolute security of the imperial capital, and now the British slapped him in the face mercilessly.

"If we retaliate, bomb London...... Will the British fighters be forced out and fight us in a decisive battle? Li Le suddenly asked.

Although he was reluctant, Li Le didn't have any good way now, and when he found such an opportunity, Li Le had to try it to see if this trick would fool the British.

"Not really retaliating against the bombing, but using the bombing of London to lure the British fighter unit into coming out to fight!" He explained his thoughts, asking, and looking at Kesselring.
