"In any case, as long as it is delayed for another month, it is possible that the Sea Spitfire and the Sea Hurricane will be equipped on the Navy aircraft carrier. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" Charles, who had been waiting for this turnaround, opened his mouth at this time to answer.

The lack of speed of the British Navy's warships and the serious aging of their equipment made it a vulnerable breakthrough for Germany. If you can't catch up, you can't beat it, which became the fatal wound of the British Navy.

With aircraft and radars, the German Navy could calmly escape and did not need to fight the huge fleet of the British Navy at all.

However, the British Navy wanted to protect the entire Atlantic route, so it could only respond passively and be played by the weak German Navy.

Originally, Charles was not going to speak, and he did not dare to speak at such a meeting. Because his navy was so bad, Britain was so passive.

But can the Navy be blamed for this? The decision to cut the Navy's military spending, cancel the plan to build new warships, and rely on old battleships to maintain the number of the Navy is not the result of the Navy itself.

The Navy has always called for the construction of newer and more suitable battleships, and has always advocated the development of better carrier-based aircraft. But all of this requires funding, and unfortunately there is no funding......

If the Navy's demands are all approved and the money is granted, where will the weak German Navy make waves? With just one encirclement and suppression, the annoying German fleet could be completely annihilated.

And Charles, who was born as a general, did not know about politics and economics, he only knew how to defeat the enemy.

So he stood up at this time and said to King George VI: "If we can delay for a month, our navy will be able to contain the German fleet, and even damage this annoying fleet!" ”

This promise seems to be very exciting to everyone, at least it shows that even in today's passive situation, the main battle faction is still quite marketable.

After all, Britain was once the world hegemon and the king of the seven seas! When the British naval fleet dominated the world, Germany did not exist!

It is not an easy task to make an old world hegemon like Britain bow his arrogant head.

This is especially true in a country like the UK, which is notoriously stubborn and values honor and tradition. It's much more difficult than you think to get them to surrender.

Japan, which had never been the hegemon, still remembered after the war that its own territory was not completely occupied, and that it still had the strength to surrender.

This is the case with Japan, which has been poisoned by militaristic ideology for decades and barely got rid of the rotten Qing government, not to mention England, which has really been invincible in the world?

Therefore, if they did not cross the British Navy, land on British soil, and occupy London so that the British could not raise their heads, they would never really submit to Germany.

"Then let Hamilton go to Germany to talk! The conditions are agreed one after another, and delaying time is the main purpose! The Foreign Secretary gave his opinion.

The current situation in Britain is very unfavorable, and peace talks at this time are obviously not a good idea.

In this case, finding an opportunity to recover the defeat and regain the initiative in negotiations has to be said to be an option worth trying.

After thinking about it, in the end, the way that everyone could think of was to send some people to Germany at once, to restore contact with the German top level as much as possible, and to convey Britain's idea of wanting peace.

……

Germany also wants peace, and they want a peaceful future of their own! But the Germans chose something different, so they are now actively preparing for a vicious battle.

Also in order to end the war, the Germans were ready to end the war once and for all by killing all their enemies.

On January 5, just ten days after Christmas, Field Marshal Keitel, chief of staff of the Supreme Command, left for France on behalf of the Führer.

On January 7, the Germans held a grand military parade on the outskirts of Paris. During this military parade, more than 5,000 soldiers marched past the review stand and were inspected by Marshal Keitel.

However, in this parade of military force, there was neither the tank force that Germany was proud of, nor the armored vehicles. There were only four phalanx of trucks dragging artillery support, and there were surprisingly many infantry.

All the infantry wore shiny leather boots, and their faces were neat and sonorous. But the Mauser 98K betrayed them - most of these troops were second-line troops, stationed in France to take charge of local security.

The trucks were the home of the local garrison, and the cannons were the debt materials that France had just produced...... The only thing that is still fresh in people's memories is the air force unit that passed through the review stand.

Although there were no new tricks, this time at least 500 planes flew over Paris, densely packed like locusts, which really shocked the locals.

Now, most of the elite troops in France are concentrated in the coastline area. Trucks, heavy artillery, tanks, armored vehicles, and thousands of aircraft of various models behind them.

On January 12, Keitel had not yet left France, and he convened a meeting of various generals in Paris, with a frequency that shocked those in the know.

On 14 January, a belated U.S. intelligence point in Italy sent back the shocking news, and the U.S. military estimated that the probability of a German landing in Britain before the 20th was as high as 90 percent.

At this time, Dietrich, who had rushed back to Berlin in a group, and General Studenter, the supreme commander of the paratroopers, met with the Führer.

"My Führer! Paratroopers could not be airborne to Britain in winter, as this weakened their combat capability. Student was the first to give his opinion.

He always had a good impression of the Führer, who was a very professional leader in terms of technology. So he tried to persuade the Führer from a technical level, and in fact, he did so to make Li Le intuitively experience the troubles of the winter airborne.

"In order to ensure that the paratroopers can continue to fight after they have landed, I have to separate planes to drop more warm clothes." Pointing to the documents he had brought with him, Student introduced himself to the Führer.

Then he went on to talk about the problems caused by this incident: "Führer, this makes me have to reduce the amount of weapons and ammunition delivered, and the number of paratroopers accordingly......"

"And that's just the problem for the paratroopers, in fact there are more troubles with landing at sea." As another of the Führer's confidants, Dietrich opened his mouth to answer.

"We can't afford to get the soldiers to change out of their wading-soaked clothes against enemy fire. Wet cotton clothes and overcoats will reduce the combat ability of soldiers, and losses will increase by at least 30%. Dietrich gave a scientific verdict.

In other words, in the battle for the beach, a large number of valuable soldiers will be lost because the soldiers are too bulky and endure soaked clothes.

Winter operations will reduce the combat effectiveness of paratroopers by 30% and increase the losses of infantry by 30%. Hearing these terrible data, Li Le found himself speechless.

There has never been a landing battle against Britain in history, so Li Le does not have the foresight ability to do so. All he could do now was to judge the generals' speculations with reason - and it turned out that Dietrich and Student seemed to be right.

"So, the two generals who are in charge of directly directing the operational plan for this landing on British soil, do you think when should we wait until the best time to land in Britain?" Li Le looked at the two of them and asked the question he wanted to ask.

The longer the time dragged on, the more complete the British defense line actually became. From May 1940 to the present, Britain has actually built a lot of fortifications for most of the year.

These fortifications seriously threatened the German landing plans, and if they had waited a few more months, perhaps the German landing would never have been successful.

Li Le knew better than anyone that the superiority of the German Navy could not last forever. With the upgrading of British carrier-based aircraft, the German Navy will once again lose its surface suppression capability.

As long as the British regained naval superiority, there would be many more obstacles for Germany to land on British soil -- the time of landing was related to the success rate of landing, and the later it was, the greater the likelihood of failure.

"Mid-February! Or the end of February! "Student gave a reasonable amount of time to get through the cold in February with a sweater, and the weather was much better than it is now.

Li Le glanced at Dietrich, saw the latter nod a little reluctantly, and knew that this was almost the fastest speed. The army estimated that it might want to postpone the landing until March, but Li Le was reluctant to do so.

In the end, Li Le still gave face to the two generals he valued and agreed to the suggestion to delay the plan.

On January 19, 1941, the Supreme High Command issued an internal confidential document delaying the implementation of the Sea Lion Plan.

Worries about the weather, as well as the opposition of all the generals on the Western Front, made Li Le abandon his offensive plan to land in Britain in January.

After all, landing in the cold winter months is a huge test of materials and logistics. Regrettably, both the logistics and the landing experience are what Germany is lacking.

In line with the principle of trying to make the landing as uncomplicated as possible, Li Le finally compromised. He canceled the battle plan and left the more than 200,000 landing troops and 200,000 recruits in reserve to stop in place.

No one could have imagined that this postponement would make Himmler, who had always doubted the identity of the Führer, suddenly unable to figure out the Führer's intentions.

"Suddenly canceled the operation at the last minute? Does he really want to win this war, or is he ready to destroy the country at the most critical time? The SS demon king leaned against the window of his office and muttered.

He found that he could no longer read the mustachioed man in the Prime Minister's House. Things have completely exceeded his imagination, and he can no longer control his future......
