Chapter 451: Dispatch of submarines

Since Hitler came to power, as German soldiers, they should have a premonition that Germany and France and Britain will definitely have a fateful World War. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

As senior commanders, they were not decisive, on the contrary, they were very worried that the fate of defeat in the First World War would be imposed again, and they were very afraid.

Wouldn't it be nice to keep the situation as it is?

They won't know that Germany now is like a boat sailing against the current, and if you don't advance, you will retreat!

Compared to them, Ciric was much calmer, and there was a rather large sand table on the large table of the entire headquarters, and at this time, the small banners that marked the advance of the various troops were constantly advancing.

The Maginot Line was just a false move, there to contain the French, and in the north, the most ferocious was the fight, in fact, it was only to attract the attention of Britain and France.

In particular, when the fortified fortress of Belgium did not play a role and was directly taken down by German gliders, everyone would think that Belgium was definitely the main target of Germany!

"Good news, Führer." Schellner came in and said to Ciric: "I have just received information that the French Marshal Gammerin has transferred all the troops to Belgium, and there is not even a reserve left. ”

Scharner's words made everyone happy at once.

Brauchitsch breathed a sigh of relief, which showed that his strategy was correct.

"The main force of France, the British Expeditionary Force, is stationed in Belgium, which is in danger, and when our troops suddenly appear behind them, they will surely fall into disarray." General Keitel said: "Now, it can be judged that our plan is half successful. ”

The plan is already half successful, and the other half, of course, depends on whether your own armored forces can pass through the Ardennes Forest correctly and quickly!

Don't worry too much about this, you must know that the Waffen-SS, as an armed force independent of the Wehrmacht, has always been the most powerful and courageous army, and now, it is certain that even if it is half killed in battle, it can still maintain the most vigorous fighting enthusiasm, and they are composed of the most determined and courageous fighters.

So, break through the Ardennes Forest and they will definitely be able to complete the mission!

"Now, we need to lay out the next tasks." Turning from the sandbox, Ciric turned to the crowd and said, "Attack the ports of England, blow up their civilian ships, and prevent them from crossing the English Channel after their defeat." ”

Ciric's words shocked everyone again.

It was clear that Ciric was looking further than anyone else, and even when everyone was still worried about how to win against France, the most powerful army on the continent, Ciric was already thinking ahead about what would happen if Britain and France were defeated.

Britain and France will definitely retreat, withdraw their armies back to England, and wait to accumulate strength for future counteroffensives.

Now, Ciric's goal is to annihilate them on the European continent without leaving them a chance!

And this, in addition to the rapid advance of the ground forces, also requires the naval battle to destroy all the civilian ships of the British!

Just, an attack on civilian ships? There needs to be a suitable excuse!

Looking at the questioning gazes cast by Brauchitsch and others, Ciric was quite speechless, conservative and unenterprising, how could such a soldier be worthy of leading a strong Germany?

"Our oil fields are also civilian targets, and the British actually dared to send bombers to bomb our oil fields. What international conventions do we need to talk about the civilian targets of the British? Ciric said.

The British, bombing the Libyan oil fields, was definitely a stupid trick, of course, if they succeeded, maybe they could boost their morale, and now, the British have completely failed, not only did not succeed in bombing, but also annoyed the Americans.

No matter how much Roosevelt wanted to support Britain, those big American businessmen with monopoly interests would not approve of it, and the old continent and the new continent would just have to watch.

They can bomb civilian targets, why can't they?

At the same time, the bombing of British civilian steamers, Ciric, of course, had a deeper purpose.

When the European continent was defeated, Britain became an island, and Britain was able to finally counterattack and win World War II, which was completely based on its huge maritime transportation capacity.

In history, Germany obviously also knew to cut off Britain's maritime lifeline, but unfortunately, the German navy was too weak, and they had to rely on submarines to complete this task.

Sinking British civilian ships now will make it more difficult for them to transport supplies, and after the fight against France, the next target is Britain, and Britain must be brought down quickly!

Now, Ciric has already planned for a rainy day and is beginning to prepare for the overthrow of Britain.

"Raeder, let's get our navy into action and bomb the ports of the British, pay attention, mainly dispatch our carrier-based aircraft, and don't let our battleships get too close." Ciric said.

In the last bombing, our own battleships had a good time, but such a situation is impossible to reproduce, after all, in the British mainland, there are still a large number of fighters, although backward, if they rush up, their own naval aviation will not be able to parry.

After the last bombing of the British naval base, their naval bases were strictly guarded, but the civilian ports are still not too high-guarded, and they continue to use surprise attack tactics to attack the civilian ships of the British Navy on a large scale!

"Yes." Raeder replied.

"Dönitz, dispatch our submarine forces, as long as they are civilian ships flying the British flag of the United Kingdom, they are within our strike range!" Ciric continued.

Now, Dönitz is in charge of the submarine forces of the Navy, and so far, the submarine forces have not had much success, and this order of Ciric is exactly what Dönitz wants.

When the British bombed the Libyan oil fields, they should have known that they had opened Pandora's box, that they had violated the Geneva Conventions and that they had attacked civilian targets, so what did Germany hesitate about?

Just after Ciric had given the order, the telephone rang again, and an adjutant took the call, and then, to Ciric, he said: "Führer, good news, our SS troops have crossed the Ardennes Forest!" ”

This is indeed good news, when they heard the news, Brauchitsch and the others immediately showed a smile on their faces, as long as they crossed the Ardennes Forest, then their own victory was already doomed!
