Three more submarines fled to Algiers. This navy, which was once the fourth in the world, fulfilled its oath and defended its honor with a tragic self-destruction. The arrogance of the French Navy determined that they would not surrender to their enemies, and the honor of the French Navy determined their fate.

Although Hitler skipped Li Mo's direct order, which was the most unpleasant place for Li Mo, Hitler's idea was good, he wanted to take over the French fleet, and Britain was also in order to prevent Germany from obtaining the French fleet, so he immediately blacked out his own allies.

Although Hitler did not get the French fleet, the German navy now has more than a dozen converted aircraft carriers, which undoubtedly stimulated the people in the high command even more, so they proposed a strategic plan to Hitler "Sea Lion Plan".

But can the "Sea Lion Plan" be implemented immediately?

Of course, there are many reasons, the Luftwaffe can only use more than 5,000 planes for war, and Britain alone has 3,000 planes, because the French lost some in the campaign, and there are also more than 2,000 planes, and at the same time, Britain also has planes shipped from the United States, as well as planes produced in his own country, such a huge air power is adding the British Navy.

Is it true that Germany wants to fight with Britain, the United States, and the Soviet Union as it did in history, and Germany definitely does not have that qualification, and some historical commentators in history have also said so.

Hitler's insistence on landing operations against Britain necessitated the implementation of the Sea Lion Plan, which was carried out on the premise of the elimination of the British Royal Air Force. And the Luftwaffe simply had no way to completely and cleanly wipe out the British Air Force, Britain had the support of the United States, the number one imperialist country, and how many planes were needed The Yankees would also support Britain for their own interests.

The most dangerous period of a landing war is not the initial landing, but the fact that after a successful landing, it is impossible to isolate the battlefield, quickly replenish supplies, and gain the ability to break through in depth. If you can't get supplies, after the initial victory, you will definitely be wiped out by the opponent with stronger supply ability. The Normandy landings at the end of World War II illustrated this strategy in its entirety. Since at this time the Luftwaffe did not run out of consumption of the British Air Force. And the size of the transport fleet of the German Navy was too small. The number of troops to be delivered at one time is insufficient, and the ability to resupply is even lacking, and the army's heavy equipment cannot be landed in large numbers simultaneously. Later in the air war, the British Air Force massively attacked ports and transport ships along the English Channel. The German Navy was forced to evacuate the already small number of transport ships. In this case. The landing in Britain was an initial success. However, the inability to hold on to and expand the landing ground is a tactical action and is bound to fail.

After the landing of German troops. The British home fleet had already reacted, and it only took 2 days to assemble the main force, which could easily cut off the supply lines of the German army in the English Channel. It is estimated that it will be a retreat immediately, and it will be difficult to fight. Moreover, the British Home Air Force can cover the navy very well, and at the same time lay a large number of mines to lock up the supply of the landing force. After cutting off the supply routes, the navy split a part of the shelling of the German landing grounds. Other forces consolidated their defensive lines and intensified their blockade of the English Channel.

The landing German troops were basically unable to effectively receive air force support at all, and the firepower of the opposing side was relatively not too strong. It was also impossible to carry heavy artillery in large quantities. Therefore, the degree of fortification of the British city and defense line will be much weaker. Also, tanks at that time basically did not land much. According to the calculation of a division of a few hundred vehicles, the consumption of materials in a day must be calculated as several hundred tons. The German generals did not fail to think about the issue of supplies. Unable to attack strongly and quickly, the Germans were bound to fall into a stalemate with the British defenders. It was a nightmare for the German generals.

Friends saw how strong the German army was, how sharp the tactics were, and how brave the army was. However, there are too many factors for success or failure in the war, not to mention that there is the most unstable enemy hidden behind the scenes. Suffice it to say that if the British Home Fleet and Air Force had existed for a day, Hitler would have been wrong to choose to land on the British mainland. Neither dare nor can't! No matter how many troops are sent, whether the landing is successful or not, it will be a failure in the end. And it was the annihilation of the whole army. And after the failure of the landing, the Germans were bound to lose a large number of elite troops. The support rate of the domestic population for the war, the morale of the troops, and so on were a very serious test for Germany.

So don't be surprised or sorry why Hitler didn't land in Britain with all his might. If you analyze it carefully, you can even go back in time to that era and become Hitler. The same order will be given before the destruction of the British Home Fleet! Of course, Li Mo wanted to terminate the "Sea Lion Plan" before it was implemented, instead of waiting for the Luftwaffe to terminate the "Sea Lion Plan" after heavy losses in history, of course, Li Mo planned to meet Hitler directly, and Li Mo now also felt that he had a conflict with Hitler's views, although there was nothing to do now, but Li Mo had already made plans for his future.

I think the senior Nazi generals knew very well what would happen if they forced a landing without air and sea supremacy in the theater of operations. At the time of the Normandy landing, the Allies had an absolute superiority of 11 to 2 forces, and firmly controlled air and sea supremacy, and adopted quite strict secrecy measures to finally achieve victory, even so, 118,000 Allied soldiers died on the battlefield.

Therefore, if Hitler insisted on the British landing, he would only incur defeat.

In addition, Germany cannot land on the British mainland, if it lands on the British mainland, why is it now just sending weapons to Britain and the United States in North Africa, it will immediately jump out and send troops to attack Germany, if so, Germany is the same as in history, the power of one country to challenge the vast majority of the armed forces of the whole world, and find death by itself, Li Mo can't save it, Li Mo is now if he wants to jump off Hitler's chariot, it is impossible for Li Mo to wash his neck and prepare to go to the gallows in Nuremberg.

……

On July 22, 1940, in the French town of Compiègne, France and Germany signed an armistice. Hitler decided not to hold a signing ceremony at the famous castle in town. The ceremony took place in a train car. After the defeat of Germany in World War I, it was in this carriage that Germany surrendered to the Allies, and Hitler believed that Germany had suffered great humiliation and that the French had to be given a taste of it.

Li Mo also wanted to advise Hitler not to use the carriage that recorded the hatred and humiliation of Germany and France to get France to sign the surrender, but Li Mo could not entangle with Hitler on this issue, because Li Mo had more important things, that is, to talk to Hitler after signing and let Hitler terminate the "Sea Lion Project".
