Compared with the DB engine series, the JUMO-213 engine is closer to the pinnacle of German aircraft engines, which can allow the Luftwaffe to continue to maintain strong combat capabilities for the next two years. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

As for two years later...... Li Le felt that two years later, Germany's jet fighters would definitely teach those Allied pilots how to behave!

While Li Le and his designers were working hard to make the German army use more advanced weapons, Churchill had to face difficult times.

Dudley Pound stood in front of him and handed him a report on the failure of the siege of the Scharnhorst, with a dejected expression on his face.

The submarines of the German Navy have always threatened the lifeline of Britain, and this encirclement has become more and more terrible with time!

Knowing the number of submarines that Germany had before, it was only possible to ensure that it concentrated about 20 in the main direction.

To be honest, Britain could have endured the losses caused by such a force, and relied on the transport fleet to endure the losses and extend the war for 41 years.

But now, with the increase in the amount of materials invested by Li Le in submarines, the speed has also accelerated, and the number of German submarines has doubled.

Forty submarines operating in the Atlantic, carrying out planned attacks and sabotage against British maritime supply lines, made it unbearable for the British mainland.

For a whole month in August, the British sunk transport ships, which had reached 1.1 million tons due to Li Le's accurate intelligence command, destroyed two very important transport fleets, causing the route between North America and Britain to almost collapse.

And in the past half a month in September, the British transport ship sunk by the German Navy also reached a terrible 700,000 tons.

In at least these two months, the number of British transport ships lost was much greater than the number of British transport ships.

It is precisely because of this that the British dispatch of material transportation from the sea has fallen into passivity, and even if the existing losses are maintained, it is enough for Britain to taste the bitter fruit of failure.

The British Navy has been hit too hard by intelligence, and it is still unaware that Germany has begun to increase the number of submarines in the Atlantic to 50 ships.

If Germany can build more than 20 U-boats next month, the British Navy will have to deal with more U-boats wreaking havoc in the Atlantic.

Do not doubt Li Le's ambition to develop submarine warfare, you must know that in the case of inferiority, the only thing that the German Navy can compete with the British Navy at this stage is these submarines.

Therefore, Germany is sparing no effort to develop and build submarines and develop more advanced submarine technology.

From snorkels to radar warning devices, the German Navy is now putting more effort into anti-submarine technology than it is in real history.

Because Li Le knows what kind of antisubmarine technology will appear in the future, and what kind of submarine technology will emerge -- the targeted perfection is very purposeful.

Under this highly targeted research and development, the speed of technology development is also very high, at least much higher than in history.

"Failed...... Fail...... Don't you all want to think about how long I, the prime minister, can continue to work like this? Churchill angrily threw the report aside and yelled.

In the last month, he seems to have been unable to calm his mood, first of all, the air strike, the pressure to defend the homeland is huge, and secondly, the successive defeats in North Africa, the loss of the naval fleet and the air force, also make him unhappy.

Especially in North Africa, now that Alexandria has been lost, the Germans may attack Cairo next, so how can he deal with it?

Yesterday! Just yesterday, the Luftwaffe launched another propaganda war, dropping thousands of propaganda leaflets, which only said that Cunningham had been captured and Alexandria had been captured!

Few civilians in Britain know about Matroux, and not too many know about El Alamein, but everyone has heard of Alexandria!

It's as if some Chinese people don't know Kaesong, Nampo, Wonsan, North Korean place names, but they must know Pyongyang.

After all, the city is so famous, so famous that it is familiar. Alexandria is an important British port in the Mediterranean, and everyone knows that it is the barrier of the Suez Canal!

Now, the barrier of the Suez Canal has been lost, so will the Suez Canal not be able to be saved, if the Suez Canal is occupied by the Germans, then the shipping route between the British Empire and India will not be cut off?

With this reason in mind, countless people are trying to find someone they know and ask what is really going on with the British army in North Africa.

As those who know the truth solve their doubts little by little, everyone knows that the German army is invincible in North Africa and has defeated the British army again and again!

These included the victories and defeats of Operation Compass, including the so-called victory that claimed to have kept the Germans out of Egypt, including the fall of Matroux......

In the streets, the British civilians were angry, angry that their prime minister had deceived them and fooled them with their right to know, and they were also angry at the incompetence of the army, which had been defeated by their opponents again and again.

Although this pent-up mood swing has not yet erupted, Churchill knows that sooner or later someone will find him to settle this account.

"The CU-17 transport regiment was detected and attacked by a German submarine, losing 13 transport ships, last night's news." Pound depressedly reported a piece of news that left Churchill speechless.

CU is a special oil convoy between the United States and the United Kingdom, all of which are high-speed and large-capacity oil tankers, and in this case 13 ships were sunk, which is almost equivalent to cutting off the entire British oil transportation route.

At this time, Britain did not have North Sea oil fields, and most of its oil was imported, which is why Britain has now begun to use its pre-war oil reserves.

"What? CU fleet? You mean the oil transport fleet? Could it be that our escort destroyers are all fools? Problems with such an important fleet? Churchill slapped the table angrily and shouted loudly.

It is no wonder that Churchill was so angry, such an important class of transport fleets, usually have destroyers for key escorts, but unfortunately it is obvious that the destroyer fleet did not play a covering role.

Dudley Pound lowered his head and opened his mouth to explain to his subordinates: "Sir, the destroyer unit in charge of escorting is all novices, and its combat effectiveness is really insufficient......

"All newbies? All destroyer fleets for novices? It's not like I've never been a Navy Minister, and you tell me why they're all novices? "Churchill didn't believe Pound's bullshit explanation, that couldn't have happened, okay?

Dudley Pound reluctantly opened his mouth and answered Churchill's question: "Sir, the senior commanders of this destroyer fleet are all under investigation, and it is related to the secrecy of the route. ”

Only then did Churchill remember that he had personally approved the review a few days before, and that the purpose of the plan was to find German spies within the navy.

It's a pity that this review, like the previous one, has no results at all, and it continues to this day, and no suspicious characters have been found.

In order to interfere with the judgment of the German spies, Churchill deliberately released several false news, but did not deliberately change the schedule for the distribution of ships between Britain and the United States.

It's not that he doesn't want to do this, but because the top-secret ship regiment allocation table that he has worked out with great difficulty cannot be changed at will.

The reason is actually very simple, the time is too short, and his new scheduling plan can't be completed at all, so he can only make do with the old version!

How many ships are there in the Atlantic? There are more than 700 of these ships! To arrange the shuttle of these ships, it is necessary to arrange for countless ships to leave the port and enter the port, unload and load every day......

This is a huge co-ordination project, just like a train schedule, a little change will affect other trains, and it will cause the entire railway network to collapse in confusion.

The same is true for shipping at sea – a casual change can result in a mountain of waiting ships outside one port and an empty port opposite, with no one waiting to be transported.

In addition, the fleet was dispatched to escort the convoy and arrange the right time...... Although Churchill had already begun to arrange for the redrawing of the shipping plan, he did not change the conditions for the sea schedule for a while.

He originally thought that he could hold out for a month despite the losses, but now it seems that he still underestimated the determination of the German Navy to use intelligence and the power of German submarines!

Of course, there is another reason, that is, he underestimated the impact of investigating the spy "shadow" on the overall operation of the British Navy.

Now that his command team is in complete disarray, the army generals are busy shirking responsibility for the operation in North Africa, and no one has the ability to step up and clean up the mess.

The Air Force has now finally relieved itself and repaired two radar stations, which can be regarded as basically forming a local air defense network.

But on the one hand, they were held back by the already heavy losses of British industry, and on the other hand, they were caught in a struggle of mutual distrust with the intelligence services.

The Navy has also been investigated again and again because of the leakage of transportation routes and the sinking of the battleship Determination......

As a result, when everyone is finally exhausted, the army is suspected of being defeated in North Africa because of intelligence leaks. Because from the analysis of the battle, the Germans seem to have completely mastered the movement of British supply logistics - what is devastating is that it seems that a "shadow" of Germany turned Britain upside down!
