The 428 meeting continued

Is there a war in the world that can only be won by miracles? Historically, there were. Writing, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info But is there a thing in the world that starts to rely on miracles to happen when planning to win a war? Fools also know that there must be none.

If the British navy is not crushed within four months, or the British transport and supply lines are completely cut off, then Germany's plan to defeat the British by landing is only a good wish.

The crux of the matter, whether Li Le wants to admit it or not, is only in Germany's weakest navy. If the navy could continue to win, the Germans would theoretically have the possibility of defeating the British.

"Tell me to go down and prepare dinner for a few marshals......" Li Le called Bowman while he was resting, and asked him to prepare something for a few generals to eat at night at the Prime Minister's Palace.

He even felt that he had definitely opened a wrong way of crossing - others were pointing out the country and promoting words, and when they came to their own faces, how could they change their taste?

But it is really not Li Le's hypocrisy, he, the German Führer, spends about 3 hours a day in endless meetings, and at least 5 hours to review and review various materials.

There was also an hour dedicated to sorting out the information, including the bizarre information in my own mind, and some corroboration from the intelligence department.

By calculation, he would have to work nine hours a day – an hour a day, not to mention Saturdays and Sundays.

Purely from the perspective of workload, he can already understand the deep malice brought to him by his profession. The leader of the country is really not so easy to be, and it is definitely not what the great keyboard warriors of the 21st century can imagine.

The asymmetry of information has directly caused a huge difference in the outcome of decision-making between civilians and national leaders on many issues.

During the First Sino-Japanese Naval War, Qingliu and students were excited and demanded that the Qing court go to war against Japan. But in the end of the war, how many Qingliu students are willing to fight for the country and shed their blood?

What is regrettable is that when the generals of the Beiyang Naval Division committed suicide and martyrdom, none of the people who shouted the loudest were killed in battle, and none of them helped to do even a little practical thing.

The maintenance of warships could not be carried out due to lack of money, the infantry was afraid of war and did not dare to rush to the aid of the fleet, and there was no one at the national level who could coordinate and command......

Only Li Hongzhang, a sad Manchu lackey minion, carried the infamy of losing power and humiliating the country with tears on his back, and rolled into the garbage heap of history with the rotten Manchu government.

And the so-called Qingliu students, who had the loudest voices, changed their goals and continued to bark at the Beiyang government and the national government.

Now that Li Le is sitting in the position of head of state, he has worked hard for one meeting or even two meetings a day, and he barely knows how complicated a country is.

Only recently, the revision of the "Barbarossa" plan, and the various details of the deployment of the German military, are enough for ordinary people to collapse and go crazy.

It is no wonder that in the end, Hitler and all his generals adopted a decision that bordered on recklessness.

It's all because when they're planning, they can't figure out what their messy needs are real and what they're underestimating or overestimating.

"Hell! I chattered with a group of nobles from the Army, but an afternoon passed, and the result was only less than a tenth of the details of the landing operation. Li Le complained to Bowman depressedly.

The secretary of the Führer smiled helplessly, he also knew that the Führer's work had been very intense recently, but he couldn't help much, he could only be regarded as a qualified secretary.

Even in history, Bowman's greatest achievement was not in the military. He was in charge of the Nazis' purse strings, and he was a good steward.

There is no possibility for such a person to intervene in a military meeting. He also did not have the ability to interject, so he could only sit next to the Führer and record some general events of the meeting.

In fact, when he had recently heard about the British landings, he felt like his head was going to explode. The Führer has three notebooks, which are a collection of problems in three aspects: preparations for landing at sea, landing operations, and follow-up planning.

As a result, this afternoon, one-tenth of the landing operation plan in the three books was not discussed, and the other two books were about the same thickness as the Xinhua dictionary......

"We did our best to send ships and concentrate them in areas like Holland and France, and the British were blind and knew that we were really going to fight." Li Le didn't see Bowman's equally depressed eyes, and continued to say depressedly.

His words made Bowman sigh with a sigh of lamentation, and then spoke comfortingly: "My Führer, the problem on the army side is easy to solve, but on the navy side, we really don't have the strength to cover the landing." ”

Bowman's words were right, Li Le knew that there were only a few ships in the navy, and of course these ships could not be deployed near the landing ground in the English Channel at the same time.

Because if this fleet did not sail out to contain the British fleet, but sailed to the landing site to cover the landing, then the British fleet would follow......

In the end, Germany came to support with 2 battleships, and the British Royal Navy had 6 battleships rushed to the landing site to make waves.

It was a completely more than worth the loss, so on the day of landing, Li Le preferred to send the fleet to the Atlantic a few days before to attract the main British fleet.

However, the German naval fleet could not appear at the landing ground - similar to the Norwegian naval battle, and it was ships such as destroyers that could play a local role.

What is worrying is that the German destroyer fleet has not yet recovered from heavy losses, and on the other hand, whether they have the courage to fight on the doorstep of the British is also a question.

"Now the only thing we can count on is to cut off the transportation and supply lines in the British mainland......" Li Le nodded, finally returning to reality.

Everything depends on the navy, and the navy also depends on the combat operations of strangling the other side's transport lines. But in four months, can the British Empire really be weakened to the point where it is unable to resist the landing?

Come to think of it, it's still a question that can't be speculated. Li Le sighed and muttered, "I really don't want to have a meeting...... I'm going to work overtime again tonight. ”

Bowman did not hear the Führer's complaints behind, but he heard the Führer's previous whispers. So the Führer's secretary hastened to speak, and suggested: "My Führer, if you are not willing to hold a meeting, there is one more matter that you need to ask. ”

"Oh?" Hearing his secretary speak, Li Le suddenly felt very interested. He glanced at Bowman and asked, "What's the matter?" Need to cancel tomorrow's meeting? ”

"Miss Eva has returned from Poland...... She'd love to see you, if you have time......" Bowman began, offering his own advice.

In Baumann, it was a matter of course for the Führer to take a day off and go to meet Miss Eva.

But after Li Le heard this suggestion, he suddenly felt that it would be easier for him to deal with it if he still faced a large group of army marshals.

"Ahem!" Coughing embarrassedly, Li Le smiled awkwardly, and instructed his secretary: "Not today, and it is estimated that it will not work tomorrow...... As you know, it's been too busy. ”

Thinking of the troublesome lady Eva, Li Le became unnatural, he quickly found a topic, and then asked Bowman to go next door to announce the continuation of the meeting, so that the resting marshals and generals could come back and continue to talk.

"The Führer is really a leader who knows the army very well." Rundstedt looked at his boss Brauchitsch and commented in the next room.

In the meeting just now, he saw a head of state who was humble and very wise and strategist. Li Le carefully scrutinized every link, and many places were more detailed than the senior generals of the army knew.

This in itself is a very popular advantage of the army generals, the Führer knows the military, at least he will not give orders and interfere with the command. And insisting on the command of the aristocracy over the army is not exactly the direction of the Junker aristocracy.

As long as the Führer's orders were not indiscriminate and did not often point fingers and interfere with the normal judgment of the military, Rundstedt felt that it was just a very normal thing for the Führer to intervene in the military.

The paratroopers in Stud were clearly doing better than expected, as the German generals generally agreed.

Therefore, with the gradual deepening of the plan, the combat operations that the German paratroopers were responsible for in the combat operations of the airborne landing in Britain became more and more complex.

For example, the paratroopers were initially only responsible for fighting for communication nodes, setting up defensive positions inland, and preventing the British from supporting the beach.

Subsequently, the plan was changed to the German paratroopers were not only to occupy the communication nodes and prevent the British reserves from rushing beyond the beach, but also to destroy the shore defense artillery as much as possible.

Later, the German paratroopers had to draw up their forces as soon as possible to attack in the direction of the beach, flank the British defense forces in the beach area, and cooperate with the landing force to expand the landing ground as soon as possible.

It seems that in the eyes of the German senior generals, the German paratroopers are omnipotent. But Li Le still has a few sane generals who know that this is definitely not a good thing.

Pinning all hopes on the German paratroopers was in itself a very dangerous option. Once the paratroopers were thwarted in Britain, the whole plan of the German army was completely ruined.

"I know that too...... Isn't this also cooperating with the Führer in drawing up the "Barbarossa" plan! Brauchitsch rubbed his temples and said. The meeting just now took a lot of energy out of him, and he is still a little tired.

Before he could rest, Bowman pushed the door open again: "The Führer announces that the meeting continues!" ”
