"Extra! Extra! "On the streets of Berlin, Germany, a newsboy is desperately selling. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoThis issue of the newspaper was selling so well that there were so many coins in his pocket that they were rattling.

At the intersection, two uniformed police officers stood with their hands behind their backs and looked at the lively street. There is a constant flow of people coming and going, and there is no sign of war at all.

Although Germany had started World War II, Berlin really did not smell a trace of gunsmoke during the first two years of the war - except for the accidental bombing by the British.

And until today, because Li Le took the lead in strengthening Berlin's air defense, Berlin has not suffered any attacks at all in this time and space.

The people in the streets and alleys enjoy a peaceful life, and the daily work is complicated and boring, day after day, year after year, which seems to be the main theme of the common people.

Apart from the frustrating ration of food rations, Germany did not seem to have been affected by the war at all. Although everyone criticized the patients for making butter and low-quality bread, they are quite satisfied with today's life.

Infrastructure construction is going on like crazy, highways are connected one after another, and countless engineers have just been drafted into the army and sent to nearby construction sites to learn how to build roads.

This is also the latest order issued by the Führer, to replace training with work, so that the recruits who are conscripted into the army can work first, and relieve the pressure on employment in various regions.

Such a bold plan re-established a good construction process: the government used the army to build local infrastructure, helped factories build buildings and other buildings, and then the army was paid and returned to the factories to purchase weapons and equipment.

Anyway, the salary of the soldiers who enter the service is a certain amount, and there is no additional cost to let these soldiers work. Although it has affected some training progress, the move has been well received by the military.

Because in doing so, the military can get more additional funds and purchase more weapons and equipment to arm their troops.

In just one month of trial, the army received a full 400 more tanks than before, but this money was paid for with tanks......

The expanding factories had no cash to pay the army to undertake the work, so they had to pay for the products they produced.

The taxes generated during this period are directly reported to the local government, and in fact, there is no cash in sight. The last series of records can only be used to write off the accounts, and after settling the surplus and deficit, they can be paid with rice coupons.

As for the redemption of Mifu coupons, it's another matter. Although there is no Schacht, Li Le's subordinates and financial talents can barely support this wartime economic model.

"Get me a newspaper!" A man in a trench coat handed the little newsboy a crumpled banknote.

The little boy took the banknote, then pulled out a newspaper and handed it to the man. After finding change, the little boy waved the newspaper in his hand and continued to sell it.

The man in the trench coat worked in a restaurant and was a well-known chef in that restaurant. He spread out the newspaper and saw the headlines on the front page.

"Sink the British Navy Hood!" The huge title looked imposing, and the font was well designed, and the man flipped to the second page at a glance.

On the second page was also a huge headline, clearly written: "Sinking the battleship Nelson, the British Navy was defeated." ”

Sinking two British capital ships in one day? The man frowned, his face full of disbelief.

In his opinion, this time the Navy's boasting was a bit too much -- wouldn't he be afraid of being seen through by making such a big deal about a record that was impossible to accomplish at all?

He sneered and turned to the position of the third page, and then the whole person was stunned, it turned out that the content of the newspaper on the third page turned out to be: "Sink the British Navy aircraft carrier Eagle." ”

"This is too shameless, don't the people in the navy check the results?" The man pursed his lips, shook his head and said sarcastically: "If the navy's ability to fight a war was half as good as their bragging, we would have won against the British a long time ago." ”

The man turned out to be a cook on a battleship of the German High Seas Fleet in World War I, when he was still young.

In those years, he had witnessed the decline of the High Seas Fleet and experienced the pain of German defeat. Of course, he also saw the strength of the British Navy, which left an indelible shadow in his heart.

However, he really blamed the officers and men of the German Navy this time, because this time it was all British warships that had been sunk by submarines in the newspapers.

Although the battleship Nelson has not been strictly verified, the silhouette of the Nelson-class battleship is too distinctive.

The moment the torpedo was fired out of the launch compartment, the captain of the U-47 submarine, Prien, recognized his target.

The appearance of the three main turrets in front of the battleship is hard to forget, so Prion and another friendly submarine confirmed the fact of sinking the Nelson.

The process of sinking the two battleships of the British Navy, the Hood and the Eagle, was even more calm.

Both British battleships were almost parked on the sea, and before firing, Prien and his first mate and others observed the two British battleships for several minutes.

Before the start of the war, German intelligence provided the German Navy with very comprehensive information on the side silhouettes of British warships.

This provided considerable convenience for the German Navy to confirm the sinking of the opposing warship. Obviously, the Eagle and the Hood, which were built for a long time, have their own silhouettes within the intelligence.

With this silhouette, it was only natural for Prion to recognize the Eagle and the Hood, which had been paralyzed in the North Atlantic.

Conversely, in the early hours of the morning, the British battleship Prestige, which had been sunk through artillery battles, was no longer identified by the German naval forces.

After all, under such observation conditions, the surface ship units of the Navy, which were in a hurry to get out, simply did not have time to confirm their own results.

I have to say that it is a pity that four capital ships were sunk at the same time, and in order to be as accurate as possible, I could only send out the names of the three confirmed battleships first.

But even the current three ships have aroused an uproar among people. On the radio, the announcer frantically broadcast the news, as if he didn't know how to get tired.

"Our Navy sank one enemy battlecruiser USS Hood and sank one Nelson-class battleship...... In the Army General Headquarters, a radio was sizzling.

"Smack." Turning off the radio switch, Brauchitsch looked at Keitel, who was sitting beside him with a wry smile, and asked, "Your Excellency, do you think this is true?" ”

Keitel nodded and answered the question of the commander-in-chief of the army: "Your Excellency, commander, if this matter had a little bit of moisture, would it be reported with such fanfare?" ”

"Of course I know it won't...... But no matter how you think about it, you can't think of how the Navy can fight so beautifully. Brauchitsch shook his head and spoke.

"You came to me for this matter, and you really found the right person." Keitel smiled and said, "The Navy has carried out the Führer's battle plan to achieve such an impressive record. ”

As he spoke, he lowered his voice and whispered to Brauchitsch: "The Führer's foresight in weapons and tactics is truly astonishing. ”

Although the army's technology is not changing quickly, the changes in the navy and air force are obvious to all.

Air strikes against Britain were invincible, and German fighters now dominated the skies of all of Europe; This time, the Navy has come to the fore again, directly inflicting heavy damage on the old rival British Navy, which is a very striking change.

"It's time for the Army to change this discriminatory Führer and keep the status quo of stubbornness." Keitel opened his mouth and persuaded Brauchitsch: "You are in this position, and you should also think about the future of the army. ”

"Bloodline and identity are not everything we are after." As he spoke, he looked at Brauchitsch: "Strength and progress are the foundation of our existence. ”

"You're right. But you know, if we lose our traditions, we really don't have anything left. Brauchitsch sighed sullenly and opened his mouth to respond.

Keitel laughed, and then said to Brauchitsch: "Perhaps, we should have a compromise, say...... Accept more SS troops into the Army. ”

"As a field marshal, I can't believe that you have made such a proposal to shake the foundation of the army." Brauchitsch frowned, anxious to dismiss the suggestion.

"Don't be in a hurry to dismiss my suggestion just yet, listen to what I've to say." Keitel stretched out his hand and stopped Brauchitsch's words: "Isn't the SS also assigned to the command of the Army?" It would be a good thing to take advantage of this and leverage the army that is resting on its laurels......"

Brauchitsch furrowed his brow at what Keitel said, and instead of saying no, he tapped his finger lightly on his table.

"You mean, to put some pressure on the nobles and bring some vitality to the army?" Brauchitsch raised his eyes and looked at Keitel.

Seeing the other party's gaze, Keitel nodded and responded: "At the same time, it also brings us more power!" ”

"Let me think about it." Brauchitsch did not deny the other party's words this time, but raised his chin: "Perhaps, it is time to make some changes that are beneficial to the development of the army." ”

"If the Führer likes this kind of change, he will give greater support to the Army, and with the Führer's support, we will be able to balance the forces within the Army." Keitel outlines a bright future.

For Brauchitsch, this does not seem to be a bad thing. Especially at this time when he saw the results of the navy and believed that the Führer would be able to bring more brilliant victories to Germany.
