On the morning of August 20th, the wind and the sun were beautiful. The originally violent Beihai has also calmed down. The Strait of Dover is also calm.

Calais, Imperial Operational Command against the British, Minister of the Imperial Army and Chief of the General Staff von ? Field Marshal Falkenhein personally arrived here and assumed the post of Commander of Operations against the British, with full responsibility for directing the operations of the Imperial Army against the British Army.

At 5 a.m., von? Marshal Falkenhein got up. When he finished washing up and eating breakfast and arrived at the war room, he found that all the important generals who participated in the war against Britain had gathered here.

Commander of the 1st Army Corps of the Imperial Army, General Crook, Commander of the 2nd Army Corps of the Imperial Army, Admiral Bilow, Commander of the 3rd Army Corps of the Imperial Army, Admiral Hausen, Acting Commander of the 8th Army Corps of the Imperial Army, Lieutenant General Ludendorff. Deputy Chief of the General Staff, Lieutenant General Waldze, and Commander of the Army Air Corps, Lieutenant General Zeckert. In addition, important admirals from the naval side also came, the commander of the High Seas Fleet, Reinhardt? Admiral Scheer, Chief of Staff, Lieutenant General Hipper, Commander of the Shelling Formation, Richter? Rear Admiral Fils, Commander of the Marine Corps Alexander ? Lieutenant General Linsingen, also inside.

Both Lieutenant General Ludendorff and Lieutenant General Zechter have just taken up their new posts. Lieutenant General Ludendorff is only fifty years old this year, and he is the commander of a regiment, which is undoubtedly very young. Therefore, there are two more words in front of his commander's position. However, everyone knows that after this battle, the word "deputy" of Lieutenant General Ludendorff can be removed. Moreover, his military rank will also be promoted to the rank of general.

From Lieutenant General Ludendorff to the 8th Army Corps to the Commander of the Corps, it was only three years in total. In just three years, he was promoted from a colonel to a general, which is undoubtedly a rocket-like speed.

Lieutenant General Zekter, transferred to the post of commander of army aviation, although the rank was not promoted. However, according to the gossip that has been circulating. After this battle, the Army Air Corps will be spun off from the Army and on this basis, the Imperial Air Force will be formed, and it will become a completely new branch of the army. There is no doubt that Lieutenant General Zeckert will be promoted and become an independent commander of the service, which is undoubtedly very enviable. What's more, Lieutenant General Zechter is a year younger than Lieutenant General Ludendorff. Generals who are less than fifty years old are already very rare in the German Army.

Alexander? Lieutenant General Linsingen, previously the commander of the 1st Marine Division, with the rank of Major General. But in quelling the rebellion in Berlin, he was very decisive and resolutely stood on Qin Tian's side. Therefore, after Qin Tian successfully ascended the throne and became emperor, he naturally had to be rewarded. Alexander? It was at that time that Linsingen was promoted to the rank of commander of the Marine Corps and commander of the 1st Marine Division.

War, though means casualties. However, for soldiers, it also means the opportunity for military merit and promotion. Every soldier will not give up such an opportunity.

"Guys, you're all ready, right?" Feng? Marshal Falkenhein asked.

"Ready!" All the generals replied loudly.

Field Marshal Falkenhain nodded, he could see that everyone's morale was very high for this attack on the British mainland, and they all hoped to seize this last opportunity to get more victories. More feats mean further promotions. A soldier who does not want to be a general is not a good soldier. In the same way, these generals, who have almost done their best in the ranks of generals, all want to go one step further and become the field marshals of the Reich.

"Your Excellency, the 350,000 men of the 1st Army Corps of the Imperial Army are ready!" Admiral Crook said.

The 1st Legion was the most elite legion of the Imperial Army, and that was, of course, before the rise of the 8th Legion. However, they are the most numerous. In particular, after the formation of armored divisions and the strengthening of artillery fire and other automatic firepower, the strength of the troops was further increased.

"Your Excellency Marshal, the 280,000 men of the 2nd Army Corps of the Imperial Army are ready to attack!" The commander of the 2nd Army Corps, Admiral Bilow, was equally unrelenting. The 2nd Army Corps was second only to the 1st Army Corps in strength among the many corps of the German Army.

"Your Excellency, the 200,000 men of the 3rd Army Corps are ready for battle!" The commander of the 3rd Army Corps, Admiral Hausen, also said. Compared to the previous two corps, the 3rd corps was slightly weaker in terms of strength.

"The 8th Army is also ready!" This was also stated by the acting commander of the 8th Army Corps, Lieutenant General Ludendorff. Although, the strength of the 8th Army Corps was only more than 180,000 people. Among the various army groups, it is undoubtedly the one with the smallest number of troops. However, their true combat effectiveness is something that no one dares to underestimate. Even the 1st Army, which had nearly twice as many troops, might not be able to defeat them. The legions, which served as the commander of the legions as His Majesty the Emperor, were equipped with the best armament. At the same time, the training is also the hardest. The soldiers' will to fight is also the strongest.

"The Army Air Corps is ready. We have a total of 1,200 fighters and 800 bombers deployed at the front-line airfields! "The commander of the Army Air Corps, Lieutenant General Zekter, reported. For this operation, the Imperial Army Air Force also invested a lot of money. Especially when he learned that he would become the first commander of the Imperial Air Force, and he might even become the Minister of the Imperial Air Force in the future. This makes Zeckert full of energy. The Emperor had already hinted at him, first as the commander of the Air Force, and then as the Air Force grew stronger, he would appoint the Minister of the Air Force. This is undoubtedly a huge temptation for Lieutenant General Zechter. It is estimated that no soldier of the empire can refuse the temptation of becoming the first commander of a branch of the armed forces and the first minister of the armed forces.

"Your Excellency Marshal, the Imperial Navy and the Marine Corps, are ready!" Reinhart? Admiral Scheer said.

This time, in the operation against the British mainland, the Imperial Navy and the Marine Corps will fully cooperate with the Army. The Imperial Navy was to send 10 of the most powerful battleships and 24 battle cruisers in artillery formations. The two aircraft carriers already in service with the Imperial Navy will also cruise off the coast of Britain, and if they receive an order, they will immediately take off fighters to attack. Five divisions of the Imperial Marine Corps, totaling 100,000 men, were also ready to attack.
